As a long-time observer of our two U. S. Senators and one U. S. Congressperson, it would seem to me that today we have a chance to have more clout in Congress than ever before. Senior Sen. Mike Enzi is one of the most effective bill-passers in the Senate and holds powerful positions. He is widely respected and has been in Congress long enough that when he talks everyone listens. Junior Sen. John Barrasso has chosen a path climbing up the power pole in the Senate and currently is the...

1 YEARS AGO June 14, 1917 FARMERS BANK HOLDS OPENING The formal opening of the Farmers State Bank last Saturday was a successful event in every feature. Cashier A. B.

Music was furnished by Miss Marguerite Doran and the ladies were given flowers, while the men were given cigars. The day was ideal and there was a large crowd in town and practically everybody...
What a nice change in the weather we woke up to this past Monday. Much, much cooler, and at this point I do not know what the week will bring. Did you make it to Historical Day?

I spoke to one friend that attended the class reunion dinner the evening before and they had quite a crowd, which is great to hear. I had a couple of grands so they kept me and our house busy, which we thoroughly enjoyed....

The issue of transportation of students from the Albin area to Burns High School was settled Wednesday, June 7 at the monthly Committee of the Whole (COW) meeting for the Laramie County School District No. 2. When the high school in Albin was closed in 2003, students of that community were compelled to attend either the high school in Burns or Pine Bluffs. Many chose Burns and the district made arrangements for Albin students to be transported to either high school. Since that time, and specifically this spring, the district has had to...
