The comments made came on the heels of the Christmas Eve hiring of a new chief to replac...
When you talk about Wyoming people or think about our wonderful state, are there specific universal truths and fundamental values that come to mind? Are they unique to our state and to our people here? I always thought so. It makes sense to talk about our truths and values in a column at the beginning of a new year. My quest to identify them started when I ran for state office back in 2002. It seemed like a good idea then if I could identify them. This quest became a much bigger task than I...

I would like to wish everyone a very Happy and Prosperous New Year! I thought I would inform everyone on some upcoming regional conservation agricultural events that I’m sure will provide excellent educational opportunities to producers. I have been attending these regional meetings for several years and I always feel that this has been time well spent. You get to listen to educators speak about all kinds of topics relating to conservation agriculture and network with like minded producers f...
Good morning Banner County, and a very cold one it is! We have hit 30 degrees here of late and it has felt like a heat wave. Under 80 days until spring....just sayin.

I would be one of those parents. We had a really nice vacation from school, but the house has been total chaos for the past two weeks and I am...
Happy New Year everyone! For the special this week at the Hereford Community Church Steve Hauer sang Who Nailed Him There? The congregation burned their burdens and partook of Holy Communion.

The church will hold their quarterly business meeting at 10 a.m. before the worship service on January 10. The Prairie...
A new year represents a clean slate, a new start, a chance to be better. Some people are so hopeful and confident in their life they seem to be merry about everything and are always happy.

The Albin News section is a great way to start that. Send us your story to put in our section. It could be history...
