After a nearly year-long wait, Laramie County Fire District #5 took delivery of its new tanker truck last Thursday. "This is a brand new tanker, otherwise called a tender, that is replacing a previous 1983 truck we had," said LCFD5 assistant fire chief Derek Walls. "It holds 2,000 gallons of water, but it will also be able to pump a fairly decent amount of water if we need it as a backup pumper or backup engine." The new truck is a 2015 International that was custom-fitted at Rosenbauer in...
A small book full of firsts about Wyoming was written two years ago by First Lady Carol Mead, and it is an excellent compilation of unique events that happened first here in Wyoming. It would seem to make sense to me that every school child in the state should have access to it. I have written news stories, books and columns about Wyoming for 45 years and learned a lot from her book. Most everyone in Wyoming and across the nation knows about the two biggest “firsts” that occurred here – Yello...

Casper College. The home field of the state basketball tournament for 1A and 2A schools. It's the one place all teams hope to be playing at by the end of the season. But only a few actually make it. For the Pine Bluffs Hornets, it is a familiar place to be. The Hornets came into the state tournament last year looking to take home the title but they fell short. This year they were determined not to go home empty handed. The tournament started for Pine Bluffs against Big Piney at 9 p.m. last Thurs...
Having lost to Southeast the week before at Regionals, the Pine Bluffs Lady Hornets entered the state tournament as a number two seed and with strong determination. Their season was great as they lost only three times. Twice came by way of Southeast. A fact that is significant. The girls kicked off their tournament play at 4:30 on Thursday at Casper College. Their opponent was the number three seed out of the West, Kemmerer. The game opened with Kemmerer jumping out to a quick four-point lead....
Over the past four weeks I have had the good fortune to travel to four regional conservation agriculture meetings. These meetings are all billed as no-till meetings in Kansas, Colorado and Nebraska. What we have learned over the years is that no-till is a tool used in conservation agriculture but is not the “end all” to soil health. All of these meetings are focused on improving the health and performance of the soil that we work with on our farms and ranches. Improving soil health is the end...
Capping off what has been a hard-fought season, the Burns Lady Broncs entered the State tournament as a number four seed in Casper last Thursday.

The Lady Broncs were held to four points. In the second, the Lady Broncs were able to get their footing as they put up 13 points. Wyoming Indian was able to tack on another 14. At the half it was Wyoming Indian with...
12 Years Ago March 13, 1941 WOMENS DORMITORY AT STATE UNIVERSITY TO OPEN SOON More than 100 independent women students now living in Laramie boarding houses will move into the University of Wyoming’s beautiful new $375,000 dormitory on March 26 at the beginning of the spring quarter. “The new dormitory has a much greater significance then the addition of another beautiful building to our growing campus,” Miss E. Luella Galliver, dean of women, explained. “It will mean an opportunity for 136 girls to enjoy extremely attractive and comfort...
Good morning to each of you and here is hoping that the world is treating you well! Last week was the first of March and it started out acting like a lamb, but by the end of the day we had snow, so your guess is as good as mine on how we will bring April in. Personally I am ready for Spring. Remember to spring forward this coming Sunday as it is once again time for the time change. I really do not look forward to loosing any sleep and it takes me about two weeks to adjust. The elementary student...
This week at the Hereford Community Church, there were several birthdays. They included Ken Ragsdale, Myrna Herrod, Cecelia Smock, and Wendy Smock. For the special, Pee Wee and Cecelia Smock sang Without The Blood and Making Plans accompanied by Pee Wee on guitar. The sermon title was Seeing Differently. The first scripture reference was 1 Samuel 16. The sermon title next week will be Coming to Life. Coming up on March 27, Easter Sunday, the Prairie Songbirds will perform the cantata Amazing...
The lions of March have not roared quite yet. The drizzling rain earlier this week reminded us how cold and wet it could get. However, the lambs of April are not far off in the meadow of time. Some of those lambs are just being born out at the Sorenson farm. One ewe had triplets and she is tending to their care like a true mother. Just like our youth, the little lambs like chasing the most colorful things in their worlds. It seems it is quite fun when the peacocks jump up on the fence. They try...
