Misty Clevenger. In a January letter written by Van Dam, she stated she felt forced to resign because of an accusation against her for investigation of alleged unethical acts and conduct by town employees and corruption of public officials.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) - Case Keenum has a simple answer for why none of his passes were picked off in November after throwing interceptions in each of his first eight games as the Denver Broncos' new quarterback. "I'm throwing it to our guys, not throwing it to the other team," Keenum said. "Who knew?" It's actually more than just Keenum taking care of the football. "I just think he's getting comfortable with the system," receiver Emmanuel Sanders said. Denver's makeshift offensive line, with tw...
CASPER (AP) — One year ago Friday, Bradie Gray almost died. At the 2017 College National Finals Rodeo, Frontier Rodeo bull Levi the Boss bucked Gray, an Odessa College rider, and stepped on his chest. Gray initially stood up under his own power but had to be carried out of the Casper Events Center arena on a board. He was left with no pulse, collapsed lungs, broken ribs, a broken sternum, a bruised aorta and a 40 percent chance to live, according to doctors at Wyoming Medical Center. Now, at the one-year anniversary of that ride, Gray has m...
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) - The Denver Broncos mandated DeMarcus Walker bulk up this offseason. That was a big weight off his mind. As a rookie last season, Walker slimmed down to about 238 pounds in order to be more of an outside pass rushing threat. This season, he's back at 280 and playing inside along the defensive line. He feels this should tip the scales back in his favor. After all, it's a similar weight from when he flourished at Florida State and became a second-round pick. "Knowing what...

CHEYENNE - A level of uncertainty is expected upon entering the program. The 52 candidates of Class 32 who reported to the program Jan. 8 were no exception. When they reported on a cool, cloudy day in January to the Camp Guernsey Joint Training Center, they were quiet. Smiles and pleasantries were not exchanged.

JACKSON — The Wyoming Secretary of State’s Office alerted county clerks to require an undetermined number of people to provide proof of citizenship before allowing them to vote, stirring anger from some who say it has deterred people from casting ballots. State Election Director Kai Schon said some noncitizens can apply for driver’s licenses and that information did not make it into the voter registration system until recently, making it necessary to ask some people to show they are qualified to vote, the Jackson Hole News & Guide repor...

LARAMIE – The University of Wyoming women's volleyball team earned the national recognition it received earlier this week. The team got 13 votes in the American Volleyball Coaches Association top-25 poll. UW coach Chad Callihan wasn't worked up by it, but he sure wasn't planning to discuss it with his team. Not with three of his team's next six matches – in a purposefully challenging nonconference schedule – against other teams receiving votes. "I don't care," Callihan said. "We got some votes...
