With Graduation nearly upon us, the life of a senior is always busy. Some of us have had to finish four quizzes the same week that grades were due, while others had to get caught up. One of the most important days in many students’ lives is quickly approaching and they must wrap the school year up right. Many of us are scared, some are overwhelmed, and even more are excited. I don’t know how I would have made it this far without the support and wisdom of teachers, friends and especially family. I’m very certain many of the people in the senior...
Pine Bluffs track and field head coach Dustin Lee was pleasantly surprised in Glenrock last weekend. "The girls winning was a nice feather in our cap," Lee said. "I knew we could win, but it was going to take getting people in events they're not normally in and having some kids do better than normal. "And they did awesome. They won by a lot more points than I even anticipated." Lee said the win came from "a lot of kids stepping up." One example of that was an personal best performance in the...

This past Thursday I had the pleasure of attending Special Olympics. Special Olympics is something I hold in very high respect.

After lunch, which was served by volunteers, many of which came from Pine Bluffs High School, East H.S. welcomed us for basketball. Track, Weights, Swimming, and basketball were just a few of the events. Everyone...
LUSK - Saturday afternoon at Niobrara County High School in Lusk, Pine Bluffs junior Kendra Sloan was well on her way to winning the pole vault event and setting a personal record when the last call for 100-meter hurdles rang out. That was a problem for Sloan, as she hadn't finished competing in the pole vault when she was called to the hurdles, another event she excelled in Saturday. "She tweaked her knee on the third hurdle," head coach Dustin Lee said. "I didn't see it happen, but when she...

Last week, the Wyoming Recreation and Parks Association held its annual workshop right here in Pine Bluffs. In the past the event has been held in Casper, but that changed last Thursday. The workshop was one of two annual events the association holds each year, the other being the annual conference.

Pine Bluffs Recreation Director Sonja Fornstrom, who is also a WRPA board member, said the event was an...
Once every year, thousands of students and teachers gather together in the Casper Event center to view the best artwork from high school students throughout the state.

According to Pine Bluffs Post Archives, the building that now houses Farmers State Bank was constructed in 1925 as Carlstrum's Dry Good store. However, in 1957 the owners liquidated the business's stock and Farmers State Bank, which was established in 1915, began moving in - but not without extensive renovations first. A tour of the bank reveals that the drop down ceiling now in place, hides what was a mezzanine encircling ground floor of the interior. In the times that the building operated as...
This past Friday, I had the pleasure of attending Casper's Annual High School Art Symposium. The kids that went spent approximately six hours on a bus, three one way and three back. In my opinion, it was worth every second. There was just about everything there, from taxidermy, to 3D sculptures, to paintings, fused glass, ceramics, and everything in between. It was incredibly eye opening to be around that much quality artwork, and honestly pretty overwhelming. The beauty of art, in my opinion,...
Several strong performances in Pine Bluffs landed Burns a third-place finish at the Pine Bluffs invitational track meet Thursday, April 19. Keenan Manlove was the only Bronc to outright win an event. His 10-07.00 effort in the pole vault carried him to first place in that event, ahead of Boe Clayson who finished with a 10-01.00 vault. However, because a number of Broncs chipped in to place and thereby earn points in other events, they were still able to walk away with third-place honors. The...

Operating a swimming pool is expensive. As an example, Pine Bluffs pays about $60,000 each year to operate its swimming pool, which is only open three months out of the year. That’s why council members voted Monday to assess fees at the swimming pool this summer. It will cost $1.50 to visit the swimming pool this summer. “A pop costs a dollar,” Council Member Donn Randall said. “We’re squabbling over a dollar.” In addition to $1.50 being nominal, Randall said the future fees will encourage p...

If you've ever been around baby animals, I'm sure you're able to recognize the warm, cheerfully-serene feeling that seems to radiate from around them. Personally, it doesn't get much better than walking out to the barn and seeing the small, adorable, fuzzy face of a week old lamb staring back at me. With our final ewe deciding to have her lambs around the sixth of this month, we had two last lambs added to the mix, Dopey and Pongo. Around my house you would find multiple hints at springtime....
