In a close run for the finish line, literally, the Burns girls edged out the Pine Bluffs team by a mere half-point to take first place over 17 events, and in a field of seven teams on a day that started out good for a track meet. The weather held off long enough for all of the athletes to finish their events before heading home, unlike the week before when the Glenrock meet was postponed due to the weather. Coach Brooks Hoffman said, "The team put up a number of quality marks to make the meet a...
ome prayers were answered, we have had rain for four days straight. Puddles everywhere, stuck vehicles, wet dogs and muddy floors. Trees and fields, lawns and flowers all looking so much brighter.

To the Editor: There has been some discussion concerning the law and whether or not persons should be allowed to drive golf carts on the streets without a license plate or a driver's license. Whether or not the laws allow a person to drive a golf cart or other vehicle on their private property without a driver's license, responsible adults should be making wise and safe decisions for their children and grandchildren. As far as driving on the public streets, clearly the law provides that children need to be protected. The law requires that child...
