Nick Hockersmith and Kathleen Lyon made it to the dance after attending the Ken and Angie Macy 50th Wedding Anniversary celebration in City Park. Becky Martinez was at her post as greeter for the dance. Dalton Fuller was asked if he had ever performed...
After six years, Gini Fuller, receptionist at the Fyzical Therapy and Balance Center on the corner of Main and Fourth Street in Pine Bluffs, is the longest tenured employee of the business. When Fuller first started with the company six years ago, the business was open three days a week. She has seen a bit of the turnover the company has experienced and seen the days of operation cut from three days a week to two. She stated that business has been a little slow over the summer but should pick...

It took not one but two overtimes for the Pine Bluffs Hornets to secure their victory, 20 to 14, over the Mitchell Tigers in Mitchell, Neb. on Friday on the first day of September. With 1:06 minutes remaining in regulation #12, Seth Tangeman intercepted a pass from Mitchell quarterback #12 Thyne on the 34 yard line in Tiger territory. The Hornets went for the end zone with their first play after the interception, but the pass fell incomplete. After another a running play which gained five...
The Pine Bluffs/Burns XC team had their first full team meet today in Gering, Nebraska--we are only missing one runner that hasn't met his 9 practices. With 6 races and over 30 runners we have a full day and lots of things to be happy about, but holy heck was it a scorcher today. This was the first time that our kids ran at the Five Rocks Amphitheater outside of Gering--it was a challenging course. Hills, trails, grass, switch backs, and even a beautiful jaunt around the cemetery. JH girls are...
The Burns Broncs took on the Lusk Tigers last Friday night in Burns, drawing first blood, twice, in the space of three minutes and 26 seconds in the first half. After scoring the first two touchdowns, however, the Broncs came up short, losing by a score of 26 to 12. #32 Tyler Norris, quarterback for the Broncs, hit #21 Alex Pyle for a 56-yard touchdown with 10:18 left in the first quarter.

A little over two weeks ago a letter from Mrs. Lola Nussbaum, of Grover, Colo., was received in the mail and it was addressed to the editor of the Pine Bluffs Post. It began with some rather nice compliments for the paper, which were appreciated and hopefully merited. Mrs. Nussbaum's letter, in the second paragraph, detailed her constructive criticism of the handling of the section, "Looking Back," the paper's weekly gathering of stories out of it's archives. While never initially appreciated,...
"I'm going to show you how junk fits together," said Mel Gould, who thereafter did precisely that. Anyone who has driven on Highway 30 east of Cheyenne has noticed the brightly colored scrap sculptures, the whimsical collection which draws the eye and the wonder of what is going on here. They are the creations of Gould. If one only went by what can be seen on the Gould property from the road, then it would be easy to assume that Gould's only passion was art. It is not. The mailboxes at the...
New recruits and old hands gathered at the Laramie County Fire District (LCFD) No. 5 Monday night to become acquainted or re-acquainted with the proper way to throw a ladder. This was not in order to train for some eccentric athletic event. The term, "throw a ladder," is only the fireman's term for the proper way to use a ladder to access a structure. "So tonight was just our monthly training night. We usually try to pick a different topic every month, or if it's a large topic, we'll spend a...
With the Pine Bluffs Hornets Football set to begin the defense of their 2016 2A State Championship against the Mitchell Tigers this Friday, the team got in a little preseason scrimmage with the Glenrock Herders Friday, August 25. "Playing a team like Glenrock is good for us. They are big and physical. Their defensive line is the best we will see all year. It was a good test for where we are at and tells us where we have to improve," said Will Gray, seven year head coach of the Hornets. Gray is...

Like I said, they're all 2-A," said Mary Burson, coach of the girls for the...

The Pawnee Coyotes Football team is on hiatus for the 2017 season. An attempt to field a team was in the end aborted when only eight players committed to play for the season. “Last spring we began working on this as we were concerned about the number of students that we would have committing to play football in the fall,” said Kathy Adams, Pawnee Athletic Director. “After talking with the boys, we had 8 boys say they would be going out for football. Discussions were held at public school board meetings looking at both sides of the issue in or...
"And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching." Hebrews 10 24-25, King James Version. "This is family. Church, family, it's part of who they are. It's their identity and most the people, I don't know how many people that I walked out and greeted said, 'I was baptized here 60 years ago'," said Rev. Daniel Praeuner...

Karlstrum's memoir was edited by his grandson, Doug Gibson, who has graciously allowed the Post to run the following story from them. The PRLM held its 49th reunion at City Park in Pine...
Celebrating the end summer and saying goodbye to the Summer Reading Program of 2017, both the Burns and Pine Bluffs libraries offered ice cream and horses Saturday in each of the respective muncipalities. First up was Burns, where Rusty the Ranch Horse, 17, paid a visit to his fans in Main Strret park. It ought to be mentioned how much Rusty enjoyed the lush green grass of the park, chomping away at it to his heart's content and to his owners careful eye. Rusty is a registered paint, even...
With the the approval of school zones, or boundaries for the upcoming 2017-18 school year for the Laramie County School District No.2 (LCSD), came the need to reconfigure the bus routes of the district to conform to those boundaries. The job of doing so fell to Lance West, transportation coordinator for the district. "No, I would not say that was an easy job," West said. West stated that his first priority was to consider how the new routes and the elimination of old and familiar routes would...
A sign, perhaps, of changing times and priorities is the reason for the moving of the first day of school back one day for the Laramie County School District (LCSD) No. 2 2017-18 school year as opposed to that which led to the suspension of school for three weeks in 1942. When Donald Eisenhauer moved with his family to Pine Bluffs in September of 1942, he did so in no small part because of the schooling he could receive here. However, due in part to the labor shortage because of the war, the...
