COUNTY LIFE
Thursday welcomes first combined Bowie News weekly edition
Welcome to the first combined edition of The Bowie News, we hope you enjoy the things we have added and we invite your feedback to know what you would like to see.
Starting Jan. 9, there will only be one print edition of The Bowie News as we combine our former Wednesday and Saturday editions.
Your newspaper will have a Thursday dateline and the only real change in delivery will be one day later. Instead of Wednesday postal customers should receive it on Thursday, when it also will be delivered to the machines and racks. The e-subscription will arrive at 6 a.m. on Thursday.
Some of our standard pages have shifted their locations. The obituaries will now be on page 7A, while records will be on 6A and the community page remains on 12A. New additions include a home and garden page featuring prominent horticulturalist “The Garden Guy,” Norman Winter as he explores planting, gardens and southern horticulture. The food page, “On The Table,” will feature a new county columnist, Suzanne Storey, who will share what she believes is vital to each successful recipe, “love and luck.”
Section B will still showcase our county sports coverage, but also will include additional outdoor, college and professional sports coverages.
There will be a new “Out and About” page that will feature area cultural entertainment, library news, coming attractions and many other items of interest. Other coverage will include agriculture, business and health, plus expanded puzzles.
We hope you enjoy this evolution of local news coverage. We invite you to share your feedback on what you would like to see in your Bowie News
There also will be opportunities for questions and answers with our columnists, plus questions of the week on Facebook that will in turn be reported in the print edition. Email questions to editor@bowienewonline.com. We look forward to hearing from our Bowie News readers.

Fire officials remind residents that fireworks cannot be set off within the city limits of the county’s three incorporated cities of Bowie, Nocona and Saint Jo and violations could lead to a citiation for a Class C misdemeanor carrying a fine of up to $500.
The sale of fireworks runs through midnight on July 4. Fireworks may be discharged out in the country, but be cautious of their use to avoid any wildfire or injury.
In the Bowie area, fireworks may only be legally discharged at Selma Park on Lake Amon G. Carter on July 3 and July 4. Discharge at other times or locations may result in a ticket from city police who patrol the park.
While there is no burn ban on at this time, those using fireworks are urged to exercise caution due to possible wildfires fueled by the dry, windy conditions. Keep water available nearby when using fireworks.
High heat and wind also can create dangerous conditions for fireworks so please exert caution. Those who cause a wildfire can be held liable for any damage or injury.
Are you ready to walk among the giants of the prehistoric world?
