I have had several conversations with our police about enforcing the noise ordinance and have received disparate responses. The first time, I talked to a supervising officer who said that…
Fred will be working at a local rock and gravel quarry. Wilma will continue her stay-at-home-mom duties, and Pebbles can hardly wait to ride the train. As for Dino, he…
Most recently, through recent economic challenges, in his role as county commissioner, Bobby stewarded $70 million of the people’s money, ensuring the needs of the residents’ were met while the…
The environment is a global, not a local issue. And environmental protection means making better use of all its offerings – everywhere. If you consider all the environmental costs in…
Corr should take a deep breath and think about what he just put out there. By this logic, these cyclists are nameless, faceless cretins who, by not following the rules…

What is the use for that water, anyhow? Isn’t Lake Nighthorse a rather expensive way to evaporate water? Couldn’t they have evaporated the same amount without the pumping? Or without…
