LIBERAL FIRST
Liberal's leading source for news and views
Liberal citizens will now officially see some changes to their water bill due to action taken by the Liberal City Commission at its most recent meeting Tuesday evening.
To begin the discussion, the commission heard about Resolution No. 2430 concerning the adoption of a Wastewater Improvement Fee.
The Kansas Department of Transportation is hosting six listening sessions as part of the Southwest Kansas Highway Mobility and Expansion Strategy – a study looking at various ways to improve highway mobility, safety and accessibility in 44 counties in and near Southwest Kansas.
Some topics may vary due to public concerns in that area, but issues to be discussed will included four-lane highways, passing lanes, adding shoulders, roadway conditions, economical/environmental factors, transportation networks in bordering states and more.
Attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about the study, ask questions, provide feedback and talk to study team members.
The Liberal community will soon have the chance to come out and play later this month thanks to the Liberal Chamber of Commerce.
The 2025 Chamber Bash will be Saturday, March 29 at the Seward County Activity Center, with doors opening at 5 p.m. and the dinner and everything else starting at 6 p.m. The meal will be a prime rib dinner thanks to National Beef. The Chamber Recognition Awards will then start at 7 p.m. and then the entertainment will start at 8 p.m., which this year will be comedian Brian Kiley, who was a guest multiple times on 'The Late Show with David Letterman,' 'The Tonight Show with Jay Leno' and 'Late Night with Conan O'Brien,' and still performs regularly at comedy clubs in Los Angeles.
According to the Kansas Department of Transportation, traffic changes are scheduled to start March 17 along U.S. Highway 160 in Meade and Clark counties from the U.S. Hwy. 54/160 junction east to the U.S.160/U.S. Highway 283 junction.
U.S. 160 traffic will be reduced to one lane in sections as crews work to resurface this 17.3-mile project area. Motorists should expect delays of up to 15 minutes as flaggers and a pilot car direct one-lane traffic through the work zone.
Law enforcement agencies go through many hours of training every year, and the Hugoton Police Department likewise spends much time learning and relearning ways to do the best job protecting the public.
Hugoton Police Chief Courtney Leslie said, though, some of her department’s training is done in some unique buildings in the Stevens County community.
“We’ve done this in the past when we’ve learned of a building that’s going to be torn down by the city,” she said.
