Still bitterly cold in northern Laramie County. I noticed the bunnies seem too cold to show their noses out of the burrows. Albin Elementary had their award ceremony Wednesday afternoon. Superintendent of Public Education Cindy Hill's staff attended and recognized Albin’s efforts that helped them receive the National Distinguished School Award. The teachers will attend the national convention and receive the award in Nashville, Tenn. the week of Jan. 21. The Albin Community Center is hosting a...
We want to thank the ten young people who braved the weather on Friday and attended our Buckaroo Days!

Martin Luther King Jr. dreamed and worked toward an America that was equal and free for all who lived within its borders.

Kings words and enthusiasm in a future he was only able to dream about fueled many into positive changes and an America that strives everyday to encompass everyone in her warm embrace. Monday is Martin Luther King Jr. Day. What better way to warm your family and remember the battles many...
The halls of the state capitol welcomed Representatives, Senators, lobbyists, and others last Tuesday as the regular session of the Wyoming Legislature opened. Governor Matt Mead laid out his priorities to the Legislature before the State of the State address Wednesday morning. “It is no doubt easier to fund a government during the boom times when, in the words of a famous song, “the living’ is easy”, but the true test of our mettle and our ability to govern wisely comes during leaner times w...
Devastation seems to creep into our lives at odd moments. The Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings came to our office via telephone, first a few dead. Then it seemed with each refreshing of our Internet browser the number grew. The final tally was incomplete by some standards, the press leaving out the shooter and his mother from the death count. As I sit at my desk preparing this column the news includes a story of a 12-year old being declared guilty of murdering his father. He was 10 years...

Greetings to all in Banner County, friends near and far. My wish for us all is a little more moisture, not quite such freezing temperatures. The snow with blowing winds caused an earlier school closing last Friday in at least two schools, including Banner County and several sports activity postponements. It has slowly but surely been getting warmer all week long. I must confess, I have not looked into the weather forecast at all. The boys’ varsity basketball MAC tournament should begin today, a...
