TEN SLEEP – The Ten Sleep Town Council will meet Tuesday at 7 p.m. at town hall to hear regular department reports, report on an upcoming sales tax initiative and get an update on the town’s ongoing U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) project to fix side streets. For Ten Sleep, the largest town costs go toward maintaining city-owned properties, including town hall, the fire hall, museum and park and the senior center. “It’s really hard to get money for roads and streets,” explained Haggerty, noting that a USDA loan helped upgrade the town...
WORLAND – Rachel Drake was able to have the experience of a lifetime going to Finland for two weeks in July, thanks to the University of Wyoming 4-H exchange program, an exchange program that a lot of people don’t know about but has been offered for many years. “I would recommend other people to do the exchange program.

CHEYENNE. (AP) — A man who’s running for governor of Wyoming amid accusations he lives in Colorado will remain in the race.

The judge will continue to consider that request but has canceled a hearing set for Tuesday, two weeks before the Aug. 21 primary. The ranch where Haynes lives str...
