According to school maintenance supervisor Steve Gary, when the playground was installed several y...
A few months ago, the Crook County Commission chose not to support a solid waste district, which would have allowed a board to decide whether it would be more feasible to levy a tax for the upkeep and operation of the Moorcroft landfill for the entire county or close the facility. The decision not to move forward with the solid waste district took the choice from the county as a whole and set it on the shoulders of the Moorcroft Town Council. According to Mayor Dick Claar, the town will soon be moving forward with the goal of keeping the...

JACKSON — At 73, Jorge Colon had never been to a protest. That changed Thursday, when he and a crowd of more than 20 other people gathered at the corner of Spring Gulch Road and Highway 22 to protest an evening fundraiser for some of the most conservative members of the U.S. House of Representatives. People waved signs that said, “Vote Liz,” “Trump is the Big Liar” and “Stop Funding Hate.” Most of the people who drove past and reacted — usually by honking a horn — gave passersby a thumbs-up. Some flipped protestors the bird. Colon said he rec...
