Crook County Medical Services District (CCMSD) will move ahead with a capital construction grant application for American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding on the basis that you can’t turn down money that isn’t offered to you. “We can’t decline money if we don’t apply for it,” said CEO Micki Lyons as she made the suggestion, informing the Board of Trustees that two types of grant are available and the capital construction option offers up to $10 million with identical matching funds required. The deadline is coming up in August, so Lyons reque...
A fire burning in steep, rugged terrain on Iron Mountain, seven miles south of Sundance, had grown to 6500 acres by Tuesday afternoon after expanding overnight as high winds caused it to run past the control lines. At time of going to press, the fire was zero percent contained with no estimate as to when it would be brought under control. "Exact longevity is hard to tell at this point," said incident commander Timothy Sherwin on Tuesday morning. The cause of the Fish Wildfire is under...

Wyoming remains in the red in terms of community transmission levels of COVID-19, said Micki Lyons, CEO of Crook County Medical Services District, last week. For this reason, she said, “We’re still using the same pattern of testing in long-term care.” This involves regular testing of staff and residents within the unit. On the plus side, she said, “We don’t have any positive in-patients right now.” State statistics indicate that CCMSD has not admitted any serious COVID-19 cases since at least the end of June. Last week’s statistics al...

Dear Editor: I am writing in grateful response to the recent restraining order on Wyoming’s trigger abortion ban. District Judge Melissa Owens objected to the Wyoming legislature’s automatic refutation of a woman’s right to determine her own health decisions, after hearing a Jackson OB/GYN and her patient argue a most valid point. That the ban violates a tenet in the Wyoming Constitution, regarding an individual’s right to make our own health care decisions, seems secondary, if confusing – seat belts, speed limits and vaccines notwithst...
