Monday night's town council meeting only lasted an hour, but a discussion about the use of golf carts as multi-purpose vehicles (MPVs) in Pine Bluffs turned out to be the hot topic of the evening. Police Chief Justin Trout addressed council members concerning the use of golf carts by unlicensed, unregistered and uninsured individuals around town, stating that he had received some complaints and comments. According to state statutes, golf carts are to be registered, insured and driven by...
Ah, springtime in Wyoming; you gotta love it. In recent weeks, we have dodged storms in Cheyenne, Laramie and Rawlins and endured them in Lander and Jackson.One day, you can be wearing shorts and a tee shirt, the next you are bundled up against a harsh wind and heavy wet snow. Because Nancy and I are retired, we are fortunate we can leave a day early or stay an extra day, as a way to avoid these spring storms. We did that in both of these trips. After playing golf in shorts with my brother Pat...

Hi there. It’s your crusty crustacean chef Crabbie Abner back, and ready to share some lighter spring and summer time fare with you. I went back east for what was supposed to be a short visit, but got caught up in all the crazy weather, and had to wait until I could beat a hasty retreat and do a quick Crabbie shuffle back to where the weather is only slightly crazy. Can you believe this rain? Two inches last week. Now that the weather is warming up I like to start eating lighter meals. Comfort food is great during the winter, but come spring i...
The rain and snow may have canceled the Glenrock Invitational track meet, and kept the Pine Bluffs and Burns track and field teams from doing what they like to do best, but the Pawnee High School athletes persevered, and have attended two meets over the last two weeks. Track and Field Coach Kathy Adams took her team to Weld Central on April 10 for the 7th Annual Rebel Round-Up, where the Pawnee team was one of 23 looking to place personally and as a team. Luke Duggan placed first in the 1600m Ru...
Had enough rain yet? No? I didn't think so. I realize that moisture is a very valuable commodity, and is needed, especially in areas where agriculture is the main source of bread and butter for the inhabitant. However, do we really have to have this much wind? Back to the moisture though. Last Wednesday was a particularly nasty day, and one of the worst I think I've ever experienced, at least at work. It was about 4 p.m., it was so dark outside one might have mistaken the time for 9 or 10...
Good morning Banner County, friends and neighbors near and far. I know most if not all of us were praying for rain, well rain it did. Sunday morning there were still puddles in places, and amazingly suddenly there were green pastures and lawns everywhere you looked. What a beautiful sight indeed. Even the calves in the pastures seemed to feel better. The high school track team had a scheduled meet in Scottsbluff on Saturday and it was not cancelled. As of tomorrow the students at Banner County h...
For the special this week at the Hereford Community Church Carolyn Ragsdale read God to St. Francis - Facts Can Be So Funny. The sermon topic was God’s Comfort and the scripture text was 2 Corinthians 1. Next week there will be a guest speaker from the Gideons....
Some towns have big brick signs welcoming visitors and residents. Some have big arches or other fancy structures to showcase their towns pride. Albin may not have a brick and mortar type of welcome but we sure have a unique one. On the way into town from the south and from the west, we have two bright and dark living town guards. Those male pheasants seem to live in the same spot from year to year. I don’t know that much about pheasants, but I am glad those two guys hang out to welcome people t...
1 Years Ago April 22, 1915 Trip Around the World The trip around the World Friday evening was a very pleasing event. Mrs. Mattie Hinckley's Millinery Store was Union Station and two ticket sellers were kept busy for awhile. The first car left at seven oclock and others followed shortly. It required about one hour to make the whole trip, most of the cars making three trips each. There were not enough cars to accommodate the people as fast as they came, which caused some long waits. Also C.E. Carlstrum's new Hercules car, driven by Lester...
Over the past few weeks I have been visiting with numerous producers around the Panhandle. Generally producers call to discuss field pea production but the conversation almost always turns to the condition of the winter wheat crop planted last fall. I have also read reports in the University of Nebraska’s Cropwatch and listened to a couple of programs on the radio which also discussed the condition of this year’s winter wheat crop in our area. All the reports from producers and researchers sugge...
For the second time in less than five days, Interstate 80 is closed due to a major vehicle pileup approximately 18 miles west of Laramie at mile post 292. In a second accident on Interstate 80, this time between Laramie and Rawlins, 59 vehicles were thought to have been involved, but that number has now confirmed at 64 in Monday morning’s crash. The large fire that ensued from the crash delayed the investigation efforts for an extended period. Wyoming Highway Patrol Crash Team Members and the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation are still...
