At their meeting on March 21, officers of Moorcroft's volunteer fire department reassessed their decision not to allow the long standing post prom party to be held in the fire station bays. The board had voted to refuse the party inside the building for a number of reasons at last month's meeting; however, trying to find a safe place that could house the game trailers and all the kids was proving to be difficult for the school and town. Now, the young partygoers will again enjoy a safe and warm...

Mountain lion shot and killed in Slater GUERNSEY (WNE) – As local ranchers Jeb and Lalonda Baker were sipping an early morning cup of coffee and looking out toward the horizon, they wondered why their dog was out agitating the cattle. When the dog came walking in between them, they knew something else was out near the calf pen. As Baker grabbed a pair of binoculars and took a closer look, all he could say was, “it’s a lion,” before heading for the gun cabinet. This mountain lion was a 130-pound male that was on the prowl close to Normand...

CASPER – Anti-abortion lawmakers in Wyoming celebrated a historic win following the U.S. Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade over the summer, vowing to further restrict the procedure by next deleting the rape and incest exemptions in the trigger abortion ban that the Legislature had passed months earlier.
