According to Core, the city has been an active participant throughout the process and said the plan amongst the g...
The story of Gabby Petito — a young woman who went missing in Wyoming and was found murdered — has gained national attention over the past few months. But for some, it has also drawn attention to the fact that not every woman who goes missing in Wyoming gets the same attention — particularly not indigenous women. For Lynette Grey Bull, this problem has been apparent, and one she has been fighting for years. Grey Bull is Northern Arapaho and Hunkpapa Lakota, and the founder of Not Our Native Daug...

Despite a day being named for him, there is little about Christopher Columbus that should be celebrated. The Columbus of reality is a far cry from the noble explorer of myth. While we can’t argue his exploits are not historically significant, they also do not warrant a day of remembrance in his name. The Wyoming Legislature should vote to recognize Indigenous’ Peoples Day over Columbus Day. The man commonly believed to have discovered the New World (he didn’t), Columbus was the first to introduce the brutality of European conquest to the Ameri...

Talk to your doctor and learn about the vaccine and help us, but more...
Zombies seem to be a bit passé these days, don’t they? Sure, AMC’s “The Walking Dead” is going strong in its final season, but the mindless, reanimated corpses seemingly everywhere in the mid to late 2000s gave way to the sparkly vampires and teen werewolves of the early 2010s, which itself has given way to the current infatuation with comic book superheroes. Even Capcom’s Resident Evil, which has often involved its characters surviving a zombie outbreak, has shied away from using zombies in...

This is why the county's law enforcement agencies hosted the "Faith and Blue: A Community Conversation" as an opportunity to connect with the community. An open house event and dinner took place at the Sweetwater Events Complex Sunday. This was the second year local...
Friendship, the challenges of aging, and a battle of the sexes are all at the heart of "Beer for Breakfast," the Actors' Mission's newest production opening this weekend. The play tells the story of three retirement-age men who go to a cabin for a guy's weekend when their friend's wife shows up instead of him. The men feel that Jessie, the wife, has intruded on their fun, and a showdown full of grade school games and challenges ensues. "Each character has a backstory that I think we all can...

The Lady Wolves brought home another win last weekend when they faced six other teams in Rawlins on Saturday, beating the home team by 132 points. Coach Coleen Seiloff said it was a change of pace to only compete one day after five days of practice, but the girls swam well. "We're starting to get towards the end of the season, they're tired, but they are working, so I'...

The game was played in cold temperatures with wind and pouring rain on Powell’s artificial turf field. The Wolves won the coin toss to start the game, but d...
Federal contract wranglers plan to round up 4,300 wild horses in southwest Wyoming — permanently removing about 70% of them — starting Thursday in an undertaking that culminates years of conflicts among land and wildlife managers, ranchers and horse advocates. The roundup across 3.4 million acres of “checkerboard” land ownership could last more than a month, said Brad Purdy, a Bureau of Land Management spokesman. The agency will permanently remove — for adoption, training and domestic use — about 3,500 horses. About 800 would be set free ag...
