It was only a matter of minutes before the first fish was caught during this year's Sundance Rod & Gun Club fishing derby. The call came out from across the pond as Cash Peterson announced he'd hooked the trout that started a successful afternoon of fishing for local kids. Around 30 young anglers tried their luck during the event, catching plenty of fish in the process, according to organizer Doug Ramsey. The longest trout caught was a tie between Avery Sproul and Stanton Engelhaupt at 10.5...
The format for the twelfth annual Old Stoney Art Auction was a little different to previous years, but Museum Director Rocky Courchaine says that seems to have gone down well with the crowd. This year, the auction was hosted inside the newly renovated cultural center with the goal of raising money to complete the auditorium on the top floor – the final piece of the project, which will see the entire building upgraded to modern standards. For this year’s event, a wine sommelier was in attendance, pairing food with wines, and four artists wor...

Study finds Teton Co. courthouse can’t withstand earthquake JACKSON (WNE) — A recent study determined that the Teton County courthouse is not earthquake sound and no amount of renovations can save it. The building, built in 1968, will need to be completely torn down. The unsafe building puts the Teton County Sheriff’s office, located on the bottom floor, at risk. That office also is home to the county’s 911 emergency dispatch center. The issue of remodeling the courthouse has been in conversation before, but thus far hasn’t gained traction....
Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee finally arrived last weekend and, as one commentator pointed out, my home country currently consists of 90% bunting. It’s the first time a British monarch has reached the impressive tenure of 70 years on the throne, so I’d guess there are probably more Union Jacks than people within our borders at this moment. For most people, I suspect, the jubilation has a lot to do with the extra four-day weekend (as well, of course, as there being many more excus...

CASPER — Another iconic Yellowstone species is being considered again for Endangered Species Act protections. Threats to the park’s plains bison — including loss of habitat and migration routes as well as the spread of disease — are concerning enough that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will conduct a year-long review of the subpopulation’s conservation status, the agency announced Friday. The decision, which was be published in the Federal Register on Monday, comes after a federal judge ruled in January that Fish and Wildlife Service f...
