Details released on Short Creek warrant
 Even as the dust settled following last week’s law enforcement raid in the twin cities of Colorado City, Arizona and Hildale, Utah, details about events leading up to the raid were being released to the public.
Expenditures made by fire department personnel appear to be of primary concern to investigators who listed “fraudulent schemes and artifices; Class 2 felony,” and misappropriation of public funds as the reason for the warrant which was served on four fire and rescue stations in as well as the home of Fire Chief Jacob “Jake” L. Barlow and Colorado City Manager David William Darger.
4H to pursue NRA grant
 County Agent Cody Bundick met with Schleicher County Commissioners on Monday, April 12th and received permission to pursue a grant from the National Rifle Association to help defray costs associated with the 4H Shooting Sports program. It is even possible, he said, that such a grant could be used to construct an outdoor shooting range.
Bundick received permission from the commissioners at last month’s meeting to construct a storage room inside the Civic Center where a gun safe and other club gear could be kept. It is hoped the NRA grant will offset most if not all the cost.
