The Touch-a-Tractor event provided local children the opportunity to explore tractors, emergency vehicles and trucks on Saturday at the Pine Bluffs Community Center. The event began with the landing of the Cheyenne Regional Medical Center's Air Life Helicopter. Pilot Donnie Crouch flew in with registered nurses Teresa Zuber and Kori Gilbert. Zuber and Gilbert helped kids get in and out of the helicopter. Crouch said the Cheyenne Regional Medical Center received the Air Life Helicopter on May 9,...
No, I am not running for any political office, but lately we have been all over Wyoming and what we have seen is very impressive. In Gillette for a state tourism summit, we heard Mary Silvernell of the Campbell County Lodging Board say that lodging tax receipts are at “an all-time high.” It is not tourists who are filling all those hotel rooms, but workers in the oil and gas industry. It appears the Powder River Basin is enjoying that similar kind of boom as that is occurring up north in the...
WASHINGTON – U.S. District Court Judge Scott Skavdahl ruled against Wyoming’s law banning marriage equality for same-sex couples earlier this week. In Guzzo v. Mead, the National Center for Lesbian Rights sued the state on behalf of Wyoming Equality and four same-sex couples arguing that Wyoming’s ban on marriage equality violates the U.S. Constitution. Judge Skavdahl granted a temporary stay and the ruling will not go into effect until Oct. 23 or until state government officials say they are not appealing the decision. In his ruling, Judge...

The Pine Bluffs volleyball team did something it hadn't done much of in the last several years – knock off rival Burns. The Lady Hornets survived a five-set thriller last Friday on the road, taking to match 16-25, 25-22, 18-25, 25-17, 18-16.

The Lady Hornets defeated the Lady Dogger from Lingle in 5 sets Saturday afternoon. The Lady Hornets came out looking a little tired after their win the night before against the Burns Lady Broncs.

Once upon a time there lived a talented cook. She could bake rolls in minutes, whip up a fancy dessert without getting her kitchen messy. And she always had enough food in the pantry for anything she wanted to make. So, most of us don’t live in that fairy tale. That doesn’t mean you still can’t have a happy ending to a long day with a great meal. It has a lot to do with having the right tools. A magic wand isn’t necessary. Crock pots are a useful tool to have in your kitchen and have always been...
Hello out there, wherever you are. Last week, I mentioned the signs of the changing seasonthat are all around us – the leaf colors and cooler temps. Well here is another sign: I was in a store last Friday, at that time the third week of the month of October mind you, and guess what? If you guessed Christmas trees, etc. you are right. I get more and more turned off by all of that each year. They really are trying to steal all of the beauty and joy out of that time with their commercialism. Anyway...
Rolling down the streets of Albin, you might think there isn’t any business going on. Granted many buildings on Main Street that once supported solid commerce sit empty and lonely. However, there are many businesses that are run from a pickup truck or garage here in town. If you need help around the house, yard work, possibly a mechanic or even a dinner catered or a birthday cake baked, talk to you neighbors before heading to town. The price and service just might surprise you. The Albin E...
For the special this week at the Hereford Community Church Steve Hauer played a humerus tape about rattlesnakes. The sermon topic was “No Other Name.” The scripture was from Acts chapters 3 and 4. Acts 4:12 says “Only Jesus has the power to save! His name is the only one in all the world that can save anyone.” There are many scriptures that confirm this. Jesus was crucified, died, and was buried. Then He rose from the grave. That is factual. It is also scriptural. To believe in Jesus is logical...

1 years ago Oct. 23, 1914 Mr. Wiliam Scheutz, of near Egbert, received a check for $2 last Friday from Douglas, Wyo., as first prize on corn exhibited at the State Fair. He also took first premium on corn at Laramie Co. Fair at Burns. Mr. Scheutz, for several years has paid considerable attention to the raising of corn and has made a success of it. He started in by securing the best pure seed possible that could be successfully grown in this section and by carefully selecting his seed each year and grading up he has succeeded in producing a...
The final stop on our tour at the Dakota Lakes Research Farm in Pierre, S.D., was a look at the dry land portion of the farm. I’ve always felt dry land farming is much more interesting than irrigated farming. The ability to irrigate can mask some deficiencies in cropping rotation and soil health. On dry land acres, there is much less room for error. Proper management of crop rotations is critical to the success of a continuous no-till cropping system. Lack of carbon inputs, lack of sufficient r...
Earlier this month, Governor Matt Mead signed a proclamation declaring the week of Oct. 20-24 Wyoming’s “Save for Retirement Week.” The event runs in conjunction with the congressionally endorsed “National Save for Retirement Week.” Wyoming Senator Mike Enzi co-sponsored the senate resolution acknowledging the event. National Save for Retirement Week promotes the importance of saving for retirement and encouraging employees to take full advantage of employer-sponsored plans. WRS is promoting retirement awareness and financial literacy...
