    Victoria Smithey Pine Bluffs Post|Jan 16, 2020

    Pine Bluffs is seeing the end of the first business to open its doors on Parsons St. Anyone driving up the street today would have seen a hollowed out shell of a building that used to be the Sinclair. In 1957, after the completion of the interstate, Standard Oil approached brothers and partners Allen Jones and Jack Hildebrand and asked them to run their service station. Already in the fuel business, Allen and Hildebrand were running the gas station on Elm Street and decided to pack up and move o...

  • Elderberry - Uses and Benefits

    Mike Heath Laramie County Master Gardners|Jan 16, 2020

    I’ve heard of elderberry all my life, but I’ve never paid any attention to it until recently when I began to learn of some of its medicinal properties. All I’d heard before was how good elderberry wine is. I’ve never tasted it and, as far as I know, I’ve never even seen it. Since I don’t drink, I never had a reason to even raise an eyebrow. Then I met Dan Young, a naturopath in Cheyenne who introduced me to elderberry, along with many other medical herbs and plants. That tweaked my interest. So I’m adding elderberry to my list of...

    Victoria Smithey Pine Bluffs Post|Jan 16, 2020

    A normal day working for the paper can be dull at times, but every once in a while I get the opportunity to do something really unique. Master Sergeant Ben Smith, Sergeant Michael Watson, and Tech Sergeant Anthony Perez offered me that opportunity this week as they took me on a tour of the Air Education and Command (AETC) on FE Warren Air Force Base. In a constant state of preparedness that is typical of our military, the Field Detachment Training Facility trains 650 Airmen per population in...
