This is the first year I've tried potatoes so I'm completely unfamiliar with growing and harvesting. So far, the growing piece of the equation seems to be going well. The plants are about two and a half feet tall and lush. I've been able to keep the potato beetles off so they even have most of their foliage. Last week I dug up one of the plants to see how the potatoes were developing, hoping I could start harvesting, and they weren't ready. I had about five good sized potatoes (supper) and a...
The Wyoming legislature, specifically Senator Cale Case of Fremont County, is once again trying to influence elections in Wyoming. The voters spoke and Case, among others, didn’t like their choice for Secretary of State. Chuck Gray won the Republican nomination and Case, along with his liberal cohort, think they know better than the voters. This isn’t the first time Case abused his senior position in the legislature to overturn the will of the voters. In 2013, Case used his position to strip the Superintendent of Public Instruction, Cindy Hil...

Not only is this a great way to bring in monies for our veterans in need, but it is a great way...

They have been playing horseshoes all their lives....
The Hornets played their first football game of the season on Friday, August 26th at home. It was a scrimmage game against Lingle and did not count toward their season record but was a good time to get the team back in the mindset of playing the game again. There were lots of personnel changes and coaches were there on the field to help the players in positioning and techniques. Scoring was not important as learning how to deal with the play and the players against you. In a quick interview with Stu Lerwick who wears #12 and plays quarterback...

PB/B XC Update August 26, 2022 AND we’re back!!! I am sure that you have missed my thesis style updates from the XC Team. This year they may increase in size due to the sheer volume of our roster. We have 52 harriers this year 6th grade-12th grade. It is so amazing. Quick hitters (for my people who need the twitter version) JH are running machines. HS teams are missing a few harriers this week, but they helped each other along the course and we have good base times moving forward. Top JH Girl: Tessa Bybee, Top JH Boy: Rutley Hansen, Top HS Girl...
