It took a couple of years of thoroughly researching what the most important needs of the Pawnee School District needs, in terms of space, upgrades, and increased security for school students, before the school board put a bond issue before the voters. But the board's patience and due diligence paid off when voters approved a $4.5 million bond issue, which will be paid off over a period of five years, instead of the normal 20 or 30 years, last year. Superintendent Bret Robinson, who wears many...
The Pine Bluffs Lions Club observed Service Week, addressing hunger last week, by distributing $25 gift cards from various grocery stores to groups in need.

I know exactly who will get it, and I am grateful to the Lions Club for their generosity." The cards were purchased as part of a project the club worked on jointly...

The Pine Bluffs Lady Hornets took to the road this weekend as they faced off against the Saratoga Lady Panthers in Saratoga. The Lady Hornets started the game a little flat in the first half but found their rhythm in the second to score a 62-43 win. Coach Lindsey Forbes expressed her concerns about how the girls started the first half. "We didn't play our best basketball. We came out flat the first half and did not execute on either end," the coach said. The Lady Hornets found themselves...

Sometimes, the way you handle losing is more important. Pine Bluffs mat man, Colt Lewis, found this out at the recent Shane Shatto Memorial Tournament in Douglas. Lewis was in the next to last match with his opponent, but it just wasn't his day because he lost. However, he did not let the loss dampen his sense of good sportsmanship,... Full story
My, how things have changed in my wonderful newspaper business over the past 45 years! A week ago at this time, I was mingling with young, earnest reporters and gray-haired publishers. Plus even a few of the retired silver-haired mossback curmudgeons (like myself) who could still manage to drive across the state in the dead of winter to show up. Cheyenne hosted the annual Wyoming Press Association convention and, as near as I could tell, it was a big success. What struck me the most is not so...
