After completing the study, Oakley reported, "WYDOT liked the way everything was progressing and the town has now received the newer grant to do the design of it." Following the advice of the state, HDR...

Political community group hosts town hall with Prism Logistics CASPER (WNE) – Prism Logistics Manager Kyle True stepped into the spotlight Thursday to address a Liberty’s Place 4 U town hall meeting in Casper.

Thursday’s town hall hosted by the political community group was one of the first public meetings to discuss the topic at which True...
Moorcroft's derelict and abandoned houses and trailers are again the forefront of discussion among the town's elected officials and homeowners who have to live next to these properties. Many of these buildings are believed unsafe – gutted by fire, rodent infested, with rotting holes in the roof and floor, etc. and have continued to decay for several years with little to no interest from the owners. At a recent meeting of the town council, resident Sam Burke, fiancé Jerry Hildeman and ne...

On April 23, a Crook County Sheriff’s Office deputy executed a search warrant on a Moorcroft residence for the possession, manufacturing and consumption of marijuana and methamphetamine.

More than 17,500 Wyoming enrollees lost Medicaid or Kids Care CHIP coverage over the previous 12 months ending March. That’s because the Wyoming Department of Health is performing its federally mandated eligibility review for the services. The state paused that annual effort during the pandemic while the feds temporarily bolstered Medicaid funds to help cover extra enrollees. Of those removed from the rolls, 12,380 — nearly 70% — lost access due to “procedural reasons,” like failing to return renewal paperwork. About three quarters of those...
Eggs Benedict is a delicious dish consisting of an English muffin, poached egg, Canadian bacon and a homemade hollandaise sauce. This breakfast dish is the epitome of luxury! People are intimidated, most likely by poaching the eggs and making a hollandaise sauce. If you don’t know how to poach eggs or make hollandaise sauce, try learning new culinary skills. Eggs Benedict is easier than it looks! Plating the individual dish components while they are hot takes some planning. Here are the steps I recommend to do it: 1. Measure out the h...

Budget talks have officially begun and Moorcroft department heads have made their wish lists known. At the same time, the governing body must also look at the price raise of electricity feeding town owned properties. Mayor Ben Glenn later said of the council's budget focus with this growing concern, "We're trying to tighten up a little bit as we move forward. There are some large electrical costs we did not fully anticipate." Glenn went on, "Of course, with all of America, everything is going...
Furthering their efforts to make the north baseball field an actual game ready facility next summer, the Moorcroft Town Council is working with RHEX of Wright, WY to truck an as-yet-undetermined number of tons of unused proppant material to the Westview Park, more than enough to cover the infield. The advantage of laying this product is, according to Mayor Ben Glenn, “[The ground] won’t be such a hard surface, it will be a little more granular so it’s a little softer.” Proppants are composed of sand or similar particulates used in frackin...

Life is better down that old dirt road. Country roads, take me home. That is, until someone comes driving down the middle of the road around a blind corner at 50 mph, throwing rocks and dust. Gravel roads are romanticized by country music and inspirational quotes on Pinterest, but if you live on a gravel road, you know there can be serious hassles. Crook County has more than 1000 miles of county roads and zero stop lights. To say this is a rural county seems like an understatement. Not all gravel roads are county roads, however. There might be...

Galvanized steel light poles were recently deposited near their seemingly intact counterparts throughout Crook County. These new poles are actually shorter and have a larger, stronger body to replace the poles that have proven too fragile to withstand Wyoming wind when combined with spring rain, snow and sleet. WYDOT District 4 traffic engineer Michelle Edwards explains that the weight of this combination was enough to fell some of the lighter poles in the southern part of the state, thus...
