    Victoria Smithey Pine Bluffs Post|Jan 9, 2020

    CHEYENNE: Joint owner of a vehicle? New law on titles issued after Jan. 1 may affect you If two owners are listed on a vehicle title, who can sell the vehicle? According to the Laramie County Clerk, the answer depends on when the title was issued and how the owners’ names are joined. County Clerk Debra Lee said a new law, which takes effect January 1, 2020, changes the way vehicle ownership is held when multiple owners’ names are joined by the conjunction “or” and the names are not listed as joint tenants.

  • Garlic - Not just for Taste

    Mike Heath Laramie County Master Gardners|Jan 9, 2020

    When I was a kid, my mother tried to keep me away from garlic because she said it would give me “bad breath”. It didn’t matter that it was good and made a dull dish exciting. It was all about breath to her. But, people have added garlic to foods to enhance flavor for thousands of years. Take a bland dish, add a few sprinkles of garlic and, VOILA, it suddenly takes on an entirely new flavor and goes from a boring and totally unremarkable food to something full of flavor that we’ll anxiously devour. Garlic is historically used in Mediter...
