If only the take at the Pine Bluffs Senior Center were given consideration, then the Pine Bluffs Community Garage Sale was a rousing success. "This is our fourth year participating in the sale. We made double this year from what we did last year," said Alisha Michaud, Executive Director of the center. In fact, the center pulled in $2,400 in the Saturday event. The money comes in handy given that the center's grant funding has been cut by $5,000. Michaud intends to use the funds to upgrade their...

Although they have had eight generations living in Wyoming, the Driskill clan of Devils Tower originally came from Texas and as a result, it seems most everything about these folks is big. State Sen. Ogden Driskill (R-Devils Tower) showed my wife Nancy and me around northeast Wyoming recently but also shared some of the more interesting things about his unusual clan. As for big, Ogden was feeling pretty good about his newfound self, weighing just 315 pounds. During lunch in Hulett, he was...
U.S. Senator Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., released the following statement on President Trump’s announcement that the U.S. would withdraw from the Paris climate agreement. “I applaud President Trump for making the decision to withdraw the United States from the Paris climate agreement. The choice by the former Administration to join the agreement without any input from Congress was disingenuous and irresponsible. The Constitution requires the Senate to advise and consent to any treaty made by the president. “The Paris agreement demanded too much from...
U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-WY), chairman of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works (EPW), released the following statement on the administration’s decision for the United States to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement. “President Trump is keeping his word and getting America out of a bad deal,” said Barrasso. “The Paris climate agreement set unworkable targets that put America at a competitive disadvantage with other countries and would have raised energy costs for working families. “This pact was signed by former Pr...
"We're just the support team," said Marshall Daley as he prepared a lunch of fruits and vegetables in the shade of a tree in Main Street Park in Burns, Monday at noon. Daley, along with Hans Leblanc, are traveling in a van to assist Bhaktimarga Swami as he is walking across the United States. "This is my first walk across the U.S. starting in New York to San Francisco.

1 YEARS AGO June 7, 1917 NO FEARS OF ZEPPELIN ATTACKS Although it would be a daring aviator who would attempt to cross the Atlantic for a night air attack on Washington, if some intrepid German Zeppelin commander should attempt the feat he will not find the capital unprepared. Apparently American army and navy officials have little fear of a German air attack on American coast cities. They are confident of their ability to give any would-be invaders such a warm reception that an attempted attack would not be repeated. Petrograd, June...
Good morning Banner County friends near and far! It is beautiful here right now and both man and beast seem to be joying the fair weather. Last week the summer vacation Bible school finished up with about 18 kids attending. That is a pretty good turn out and a nice start to their summer vacation. Last weekend the Sugar Valley Rally took another spin around the country and cars were seen up and down highway 71 on both Friday and Saturday, and right here in town on Saturday. All of those vehicles...
This week at the Hereford Community Church Larry and Vera Williams were celebrating their anniversary. For the special Steve Hauer sang What If I Give All? There was a special guest speaker. Gary Hazon from the Gideons gave a very good presentation. He related some of his experiences with giving out Bibles and told of some of the life changing things that have happened because of a Gideon Bible. The Gideons have given over two billion Bibles in 200 countries since they began. Their goal is to...
Summer doesn’t go by any calendar. And that is perhaps why it is such an exciting season. One day we wake up to winter weather warnings, and then it seems the very next day the wind turns warm and the sunshine lays freckles on our ground and skin. Summer is here. Another year has passed on the calendar for many of us, myself included. Sharing a birthday with me this week is Cordell Willert on June 4, who will also begin celebrating an anniversary after his nuptials June 10. Shawnae and Cody Bran...
Gloria Steilow is not concerned that her husband will be getting under foot around the house now that he is retired from the Frenchman Valley Co-op after 15 years. "He'll be at home by himself with the horses, 'cause I'll be at work," said his wife Gloria who works at the Kimball Health Clinic. Of late, and up until his retirement from the co-op, Steilow was delivering fuel and propane for co-op customers. He serviced southeastern Laramie County, some of the Nebraska panhandle and Weld county,...
For the fourth time in seven days, a traveler has passed through Pine Bluffs on a journey across the country, or parts thereof, by unconventional means. The latest adventurer is Julian Redman. Unlike the previous passers-by, Redman is not promoting a cause, philosophy or riding on behalf of a sister suffering from cancer. Redman is doing this for the challenge. "I'm riding this Penny-farthing from San Francisco to Boston. I'm following the route taken by Thomas Stevens, who was the first person...

High West Energy presented Texas Trail Market with a $10,000 grant to assist in the project of getting new lighting in the store. Along with this grant, Texas Trail Market also received two more grants.

High West Energy CEO, Brian Heithoff, decided to get the project at...
Three days after Glenn Offerman rode his bike across the state line into Wyoming on his way to Sacramento, Calif. to raise money for his sister who has cancer, five-time cancer survivor, Helene Neville crossed into Nebraska after running across Wyoming. "My whole project is to just really look at our country and the people and tell the story about how amazing and wonderful everybody is, but I can't tell it unless I visit every state," Neville said. "Well, I started in Wyoming, May 1 at Evanston...
Following the usual meeting preliminaries, the Town Council of Pine Bluffs Monday night welcomed two new members and one old, but in a new position, to their ranks. Sworn in for a four year term as mayor was former councilman Alan Curtis. This was succeeded by the swearing in of Jana Kestner and Donn Randall to their terms as councilmen. The two newcomers to the governing body comported themselves well and gave little indication of their inexperience. After the swearing in, and the approval of t...
