• Cork Riener took wife, Jacque, back out to visit the seismic crews in the area. They are setting 2.5 pound charges of dynamite. The crew that will set off the charges is in WaKeeney and is expected on the north divide within 10 days. The drilling crew will be out of here in a couple of days. The rig observed this week was a “buggy.” The rig had large tractor tires front and rear and a pivot point in the middle. An engine in the front segment powers the rig, an air compressor and the hydraulically operated rig. The derrick was only 10 feet or so high and has a top head drive assembly. The rig is not “highway worthy” and has to be hauled to the area. Several survey stations were observed. The stations accept satellite signals and assist the crews on foot in staking drilling locations.
• Jackie Votapka of Oberlin and Julie Hafner traveled to Selden last Wednesday, enjoying shopping at Pauls Furniture Store and lunch at Southwind Bar and Grill.
