It might have been former U. S. Sen. Al Simpson who said all politics in Wyoming is personal. I would expand on that by claiming Wyoming is such a small state “everything is personal.” On a recent Monday we experienced events that might only happen in a small town. Two members of our community had died. Their families used different funeral homes. And, unfortunately, both funerals were scheduled the same time, Monday morning at 10. Luckily, Lander is a city of about 7,500 people with not ver...

The Pawnee Lady Coyotes are experiencing something so different this season than last; numbers. For the 2014 season, there were five girls and a note permitting the Coyotes to play while missing a player. They would lose a point each time it was time for the vacant positions to serve. They would also lose the serve. This year, they are able to have a libero and three other girls on the bench while having a full set on the court. The Coyotes may not have the best record, but they have positive...
It was a wet and rainy-filled evening as Ruger Lewis kept his footing, Friday, as he wracked up 235 yards rushing and three touchdowns in the shutout victory against Lusk, 32-0. “I thought the kids did a good job ignoring the elements,” said Coach Will Gray about the weather. “We were physical up front and able to run the ball, which was essential due to the downpour we played in,” Gray said. Not only did the Hornets perform well on offensive, Gray was complimentary of the play on the other side of the ball, too. “Defensively we tackled m...

Last week I had the pleasure of speaking to Dr. Ron Bolze's students at Chadron State College. Dr. Bolze invited me to speak to his farm and ranch management class. I really enjoyed getting back in the classroom to visit with tomorrow's leaders in agriculture. The students were very interested in my topic of conservation agriculture and how we can work towards adopting conservation agricultural systems to produce food, fiber, and fuel. I really think the next generation is more focused on their...
Good morning Banner County, friends near and far. The changing seasons have been pretty obvious here this past week. This has always been my favorite time of the year. I grew up in a small town with huge trees everywhere. I also spent many a weekend raking leaves while listening to the football game on the radio. Way back then we were allowed to burn the leaves and I loved the smell. The color change of the leaves was always, and still is, one of the most beautiful times of the year as far as I... Full story
Lights flashed on our horizon during a few evenings last week. Storms aren’t out of the ordinary in late September, but what a storm it was. Some of those strikes seemed like a crack on top of our heads. No harm except for a little break in the electricity. But a few hours without modern technology is good for families. The deer may have thought it was the flash of gunfire. It is deer season once again here in Wyoming. Hunters were out and about as bright as the lightening. No word on any of o... Full story
