Dear Editor,
Sometimes riding for the brand means doing what is right. It requires making tough decisions that are for the common good but that may not be popular. Due to rising coronavirus cases and very limited hospital space in the state and region, Gov. Mark Gordon was forced to implement a mask mand…

When my husband and I got married and decided to raise our family here, the hardest part for me was being away from my parents and sisters and their families, and even cousins, aunts and uncles, on some holidays. Holidays are a big deal in my family — they are about family and being together…
Tis the season for making your lists and checking them twice, and we know plenty of the gifts on your lists can be found right here in our community.
Dear Editor,
That’s right . . . Thanksgiving is next week, but it may be different compared to years gone by.
As the number of active coronavirus cases has grown more than fivefold in the last month in Johnson County, it begs the question, what are we waiting for?

Dear Editor,
Like so many families in town, we spent this weekend sitting on a sideline cheering on one of our children.
On Thursday, Sept. 10 just past noon, parents of students enrolled in Johnson County Schools got an urgent text message warning them that there had been an attempted child abduction.
Labor Day is kind of an unofficial signal for the “end of summer” for many of us. Among the big changes this summer has been the stampede of “campers” into the Bighorn Mountains.
Dear Editor,
Johnson County schools experienced the largest decline in student enrolment in the past 25 years. Certainly some of that decline can be attributed to community demographics, including an aging population and families moving out of the district for economic reasons.
Dear Editor,
Last week, Gov. Mark Gordon finalized the first round of state budget cuts totaling more than $250 million, with an additional $80 million in cuts to maintenance of state buildings. The 10% cuts will have significant effects on Wyoming communities and citizens, as the cuts will impact import…

School has started, but daytime highs were in the 90s this week, and we can imagine teachers and students both are having a hard time believing it really is the time of year to be doing this.
