Josh Kammerer now has all the signatures he needs from the Sundance City Council to proceed with his starter home subdivision on the southern end of town. Under the name Mountain View Adventures, the subdivision is planned for the intersection of Black Buttes Road and 21st Street and will host nine lots in two different sizes, each one bearing a "starter home". The first approval Kammerer needed at Tuesday's meeting was on an agreement for a cost-share deal to install the necessary...
With the clock ticking on the deadline to spend American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, the City of Sundance is moving ahead with its project to fix a water leak on 3rd Street despite not having all the necessary funding. Clerk-Treasurer Theresa Curren informed the council that the city received $1.5 million in ARPA funds for the project, which is intended to repair a major water leak through which the city estimates it is losing 50,000 gallons of water per day, and to relocate service taps...
A federal judge has upheld the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's plans for managing black-footed ferrets in Wyoming, the state where the once-presumed-extinct species was rediscovered some four decades ago. The dispute over how the federal government managed the endangered weasel-like animal traces back nearly a decade to when federal wildlife managers officially designated the Wyoming population as "nonessential, experimental." That classification allows for more regulatory flexibility than...

The Bulldog boys also had a solid performance last week as Catch Downey set a...
The Sundance cross county team traveled to Spearfish this past week to compete in one of their more challenging meets of the season.

Team members approached the meet with confidence and positive attitudes, which I believe earned them four personal records," coach Ann Marie Mickle stated. Four Bulldog runners had breakthrough performances as they each set a new personal record (PR). Leading the charge was senior Angel...
