A burn ban has been issued for Haskell County, due to extreme fire danger that exists in Haskell County.

Haskell County Board of Commissioners signed a resolution, which set the ban in place, during Monday’s Aug. 18 commissioners meeting.

The situation has been verified by a documented concurrence of the majority of county’s municipal managers and fire chiefs.
By virtue of the resolution, it is unlawful for any person to set fire to any forest, grass, range, crop, or other wildlands, or to build a campfire or bonfire, or to burn trash or other material that may cause a forest, grass, range, crop or other wildlands fire.

A person convicted of violating this resolution shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be subject to a fine of not more than $500, to imprisonment of not more than one year, or both such fine and imprisonment.

The ban will be in place for the next 14 days, however commissioners may evaluate the situation in the county and remove it at any time if situations change.

Keota Public Schools Dedicates Pat Maxwell Auditorium

By John Block
Sports Editor & Staff Writer
Although the Keota Public Schools Auditorium remodel was complete towards the end of last school year, the district dedicated the facility on Aug. 7 as it’s named after a huge Keota supporter.
In front of the 7th-12th grade students, the auditorium was dedicated as the Pat Maxwell Auditorium. In attendance were several of Maxwell’s friends and family along with board members past and present, and former Keota Public Schools employees.
At the ceremony, Maxwell, a lifelong Keota resident, spoke about how much she loves Keota Public Schools and what this honor means to her. In addition to Maxwell, Keota Public Schools Superintendent Candice Dominguez and former school board president Jimmy Winklepleck spoke on the impact Maxwell has had on Keota Public Schools.
