Although local Wyomingites are not surprised by this fact, out-of-staters are always stunned by the velocity of our wind. It is scary powerful. And it is probable that our wind is cursed more often than it is viewed as a blessing. But when it comes to the future of renewable energy in America, Wyoming’s abundant, cool afternoon winds are viewed as a gold mine. And one of the biggest prospectors in this modern day gold rush is an incredibly patient Denver billionaire with some Wyoming history. P...

As we live our nightmare we find peace in knowing what great communities we are part of. Our families have done so much for us that we can't begin to thank you enough for all you have done. Thank you to our families for being with us at the hospital and supporting us. We can't begin to express our thankfulness for all the food that so many people have provided to our family. We are eating in a situation that we might not be if it wasn't for all the wonderful food being brought in. We are so thankful for all the visits from our family, friends,...

At 3:30 am on the morning of July 9, four buses rolled quietly into town carrying 150 young musicians traveling together with the Spirit of Atlanta Drum Corps. In Pine Bluffs they found a place to rest, practice and prepare for their next competition in Laramie. A fifth truck, the food truck, parked and quickly set about work preparing food for their young charges. One of those cooks, Sue Bailey, was a Drum Corps member from 1977-1980, and is on the board of directors. With her morning routine,...

I really appreciate all the hard work Cody and Karla do to help agricultural producers in our region. I also want to thank them again for taking our group for a...
Some weekends are more exciting than others. We mark the date on our calendar, plan ahead for time off, cook special treats for the meals, invite family and friends to join us, and then, when the day finally comes, we savor every minute. Albin Day is especially exciting for Albin residents, and the friends and family that drive in to join us. With all the food, traffic, laughing and enjoying, a few people still found it possible to shingle their roof Saturday. Perhaps they had a more exciting...

Mayor Ralph Bartels opened the Burns town council meeting then inquired about any public comments. Sonia Rey, representing a recycling firm in Cheyenne, presented the town of Burns with an opportunity to recycle glass. “There would be no cost to the Town of Burns,” she continued, “You would need to provided the collection bins, but we would come and collect for free once a month.

Good morning Banner County, neighbors near and far! Wheat harvest is still something we are looking forward to as not a whole lot of it has been accomplished as of yet. Getting closer though; getting closer and warding off the hail. It was a beautiful week end for anyone who attended all, or parts of the 94th Annual Oregon Trail Day celebration though. I had a terrific summer cold that I picked up from Ayden so I avoided all of that stuff this year. Except the carnival. Which I would like to...
