Natalie Montgomery, 18, of Pine Bluffs could hardly contain her excitement and pride when talking about the next chapter of her life. While many of her high school friends are heading to college, Montgomery is off to Lackland Air Force Base in Texas. "I ship out on August 22," Montgomery said. "I'll be part of the Wyoming National Guard." While training to become a medic tech with the Aero Medical Evacuation Squadron, looming large on any horizon is North Korea and its leader Kim Jong-Un.

The Project Appleseed Shoot held over the weekend at the Pine Bluffs Sportsman's Club was a disappointment in terms of the number of shooters who made the trip to the bluffs. In the past as many as 23 shooters have taken part in the event, while at other times 12 to 14 have come for the instruction and history lessons that are very much apart of the Appleseed shoots. Rick "Sleepy" Jamharian, who is an instructor-in-training for the organization, stated that he never seen such a low turnout in...
