It is an event that I call the “Annual Wyoming Reunion.” It occurs each November when 650 people from all corners of the state gather in Cheyenne to celebrate our state, renew old acquaintances and take some vital readings on the condition of business in Wyoming. Every other year the Wyoming Business Alliance/Heritage Society also inducts folks into the new Business Hall of Fame. This year’s inductees came from all over the state. They offer classic examples about what being a good Wyomi...
When the Burns Junior/Senior High School Band performs the song "Bullet Train" at their performance scheduled for December 8, it will take on extra special meaning because they recently had the opportunity to learn the composition from composer Darryl Johnson II himself. The experience was part of Johnson's "Meet The Composer" program currently traveling across the country. "There's a certain number of things the teacher can share with students, but having a direct experience with the composer...

Ok. Just recently I read about this new ‘term’ - if that’s what you want to call it - HalloThanksChristmas, and then I actually heard someone use it, and I have to say – I DON’T LIKE IT ONE LITTLE BIT! First of all, the modern celebration of Halloween, which started out as a religious celebration of All Hallows Eve, preceding All Saints Day on Nov. 1 a few centuries ago by the Scottish, bears no resemblance to that kind of holiday, and hasn’t for as long as I have been alive, and certainly p...

This year, after fighting the holiday shopping crowds this Black Friday, or to avoid them altogether, the Wyoming Division of State Parks, Historic Sites and Trails invite you to spend some time outdoors. Wyoming’s State Parks and Historic Sites host a variety of trails that provide a great opportunity to unwind with family, get outside and explore history. Families are encouraged to visit a state park, hike a trail, ride a snowmobile, enjoy a picnic or cast a line. Who knows? You might just start a new Black Friday family tradition. Also, m...

A six-year-old boy pretended to be a super hero during recess, raising his arms as if he was about to release a make-believe arrow from a make-belief bow, and was summarily suspended for three days. A teacher saw the imaginary attack and quickly informed the principal of Cincinnati’s Our Lady of Lourdes school who, just as quickly, passed judgement, leaving the playful tot bewildered. “I can’t stop him from pretending to be a super hero. I can’t stop him from playing ninja turtles. I can’t stop him from doing these things, and I don’t thi...

Good morning and Happy Turkey Day! We have many things to be thankful for each and every day and we hope you all feel the same way. We have been making pies and all of the rest of the traditional Thanksgiving dinner goodies and wish you and yours the best, and safe travel to all of you who will be on the roads to and from. As I mentioned last week, the students have been out of school this week and schedules will soon turn back to their normal. College students are home also and will be heading...
Each year, Americans, and I hope to believe all humans, remember to say thanks in the month of November. Some remember because they live a grateful life everyday. Some remember because they have known want and hunger and loneliness, but take a day to believe in the possibility of better things. Some remember to be thankful because they have lost someone, and even though they ache for the missing piece, they are grateful to have had them for the time they did. Albin and its residents have many re...
1 Years Ago December 2, 1915 Pine Bluffs Booming For Some Pine Bluffs is now witnessing a real boom, a number of new buildings are going up.

Cudworth, wife and family spent Thanksgiving in Fort Morgan, Colorado with Mr. Cudworth’s father. Mr. Cudworth returned on Friday, leaving his family till their new house is ready for occupancy. ********** N...
Hello, and I hope you are ready to get down to some serious eating tomorrow. Thanksgiving has always been a favorite holiday of mine because I love turkey. Yes, even though we crabs are scavengers, we do have discriminating tastes, and turkey is one of mine. This time of the year is also a time for casual and impromptu get togethers, and nibbling – one my favorite things to do. I would rather nibble on foods I really like, especially when they are being served at someone else’s home or office – it means someone else had to take the time to ma...
Modern day agricultural producers are constantly striving to lower production costs and improve their stewardship of the land. Many producers have adopted conservation agricultural systems as a means to lower production costs and improve the health of the soils we work with on our farms and ranches. Leaving previous crop residues attached to the soil surface helps protect these soils. Using no-till crop production methods that provide minimal soil disturbance when planting and harvesting the...
Every year, Gallup asks people how much confidence they have in various institutions. The results aren’t surprising. Only eight percent had a great deal or quite a lot of confidence in Congress. Big business scored 21 percent. That’s no better than TV news. Small business, on the other hand, came in second with 67 percent of respondents considering it trustworthy. Only the U.S. military scored higher. While politicians bicker with each other, and Wall Street focuses on the one percent, Main Street remains the lifeblood of our economy and our...
Did you know that dictionaries add hundreds of new words to their lexicons each year? Merriam-Webster added 1,700 new words to its pages. The Oxford Dictionary legitimized 1,000 new words. And the popular Website, dictionary.com, added 150 new words to its vocabulary. Among the words that made the cut are “fleek,” which means well-groomed, “awesomesauce,” a new way to say excellent, and “sapiosexual.” That last one is used to describe men or women who prefer intelligence over physical appearance in their partners. “Clickbait,” of course, mean...
A Wheat-Fallow, Soil Health Workshop will be held Wednesday, Dec. 2, at the Laramie County Community College, Health Sciences building, Room 113, in Cheyenne, starting at 9:30 am. The overall goal of the workshop is to improve productivity and resilience of dry land farms in southeast Wyoming while reducing wind and water erosion. Soil health is defined as the continuing capacity of soil to function as a living, vital resource which protects our environment while feeding the populace. Soil health is a management change which will decrease erosi...

At this time of the year, most of the big game hunting seasons have ended, but small game hunting, including cottontail rabbits, continues. The hunting season for cottontails opened Sept. 1 and closes March 1. “Hunting cottontail rabbits can be a great way to introduce young people to hunting, and with the abundance of cottontail rabbits observed in many areas of Wyoming during the fall of 2015, hunting opportunities should be plentiful,” said Bud Stewart, Information and Education Specialist in the Sheridan region. Before heading out to hun...
