Public Meetings Concerning Draft Resource Management Plan Postponed
NORMAN, OKLA. – The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is announcing the postponement of several upcoming public meetings concerning the BLM’s Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas (OKT) Draft Joint Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), BLM Resource Management Plan (RMP), and BIA Integrated Resource Management Plan (IRMP).. Due to the government shutdown, public meetings scheduled for Jan. 22-25 in Amarillo, Arlington, and Corpus Christi, TX will be postponed. Meetings scheduled for the following week will proceed if the shutdown ends.
On Nov. 9, 2018, the BLM, Oklahoma Field Office, in coordination with the BIA, Eastern Oklahoma Regional Office and Southern Plains Regional Office, released a revised land use management plan for the administration of Federal and Indian lands across Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas. The draft plan is available at the following BLM website: https://www.blm.gov/programs/planning-and-nepa/plans-in-development/new-mexico/oklahoma-rmp.
New information and dates for public meetings will be made available to the public once the government shutdown ends.
The Nocona City Council approved a trio of Nocona Economic Development Corporation requests and considered infrastructure work questioned by a city council.
Councilors met on June 10. Two of the NEDC requests had already been presented with the timeclock for comment started. With that time limit over, the requests were finalized.
The Type A and B Boards will spend $19,225 at the Indian Oaks Golf Club for equipment, aerifying and top dressing the greens and batteries for rental carts. It also will expend $20,000 to the Nocona Chisholm Trail Rodeo Arena Committee to build new concrete bleachers, railings, fence and platform.
The third NEDC request is a new one related to a Type B board loan of $200,000 to Amy and Chris Nunneley for a new apartment and office construction project.

The 59th annual Jim Bowie Days Celebrations kicks off this weekend with sporting activities.
This western celebration, that runs June 21-28, is one of the largest events hosted in Bowie each year honoring the western history of this community and rodeo.
Rodeo week was set to open with the annual Jim Bowie Days Bass Tournament and golf tournament on Saturday. Unfortunately, on June 16, Lake Amon G. Carter and Selma Park were closed due to localized flooding last weekend. At presstime it was unclear if the event would move forward on June 21. Watch bowienewsonline for updates or our Facebook page.
The Jim Bowie Days Golf Tournament was set to tee off at 8 a.m. June 21 at Top of Lake Golf Club. A second tee time was readied if needed for the two-man scramble. Cost is $100 per team and includes a meal. Call Seth Johnson at 940-531-1489 for additional details.
A new event joins the schedule this year, the first annual Smokedown, a barbecue cookoff across two days, June 20-21 at the Jim Bowie Rodeo Arena.
Items include chicken, pork spare ribs and brisket, along with a steak jackpot and beans cookoff.
