As the Double Bar G Rodeo (then the Outlaw Saloon Rodeo Series) wrapped up its first summer in 1998, Dennis and Maxleene Goodwine told the Pine Bluffs Post they looked forward to being back the next summer, and for 17 more years, they were. That final August night in 1998, spectators from England, France, Germany and the Czech Republic were in the stands to watch the rodeo that defined a summer Friday night in Pine Bluffs. Now, that 18-year tradition is coming to an end, Dennis Goodwine told...
When it comes to national and state elections, 2016 will be remembered as a real doozy. Most folks I talk with cannot remember a national election campaign like the one that we are witnessing. For two things, there has never been a campaign this long and there has never been one with so many candidates. The media is covering it like a sporting event. But it is not. It has become a Reality Show. Nationally, the Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders campaigns are providing most of the entertainment...

Burns Town Council declined a proposal to remove stop signs at a four-way intersection at Fourth and Main Streets during its meeting Monday. Burns resident Jim Clark addressed the council during the public comment portion of the meeting and said intersection would be better off as a two-way stop sign. "There's never been an accident there," Clark said. Council member Rocky Stoner spoke in favor of keeping the intersection a four-way stop and mentioned a recent near-miss at the intersection. "I...

"There has been a lot of consistency to this track season due to the weather," said Coach Dustin Lee following his team's performance last Friday at the SEWAC meet in Burns.

Good morning Banner County! We woke up after a nice Mother’s Day weekend to more cloudy skies and puddles in the yard. I would think the farmers are getting somewhat tired of all of this moisture. Save a little of it for July please. I did get some mowing done last week, but not all of it. A lot of graduations are taking place this weekend, so maybe once those are over it will dry up. Always has to rain then so the roads can be a mess and field trips can be a challenge! The elementary students e...

Scriptures are printed in over 100 different languages and distributed in over 200 countries. Mr. Munson gave testimonies from a few of the people who have received scriptures from the G...

A growing concern across the country is the development of herbicide resistance in weed species to glyphosphate herbicide more commonly referred to as Roundup. This herbicide has grown in popularity in crop production since it first came on the market years ago. With advanced technology we now have crops such as soybeans, corn, sugar beets, and alfalfa which tolerate the herbicide. These genetically modified crops can be planted and the glyphosphate herbicide applied on them to control weeds in...
