    Zach Spadt|Feb 8, 2018

    Ten to 20 eastern Laramie County agriculture producers who farm in western Nebraska will have chance to give input on how irrigation water is allocated. Every third year, the South Platte Natural Resources district allocates water resources to producers on a per-acre basis in western Nebraska.

  • Senioritis

    Elizabeth Syvanen Post Reporter Intern|Feb 8, 2018

    Senior year is hard, even for the seniors. "I feel like I'm surviving but just barely," was the answer I got from most of the 2018 Graduates to be. I decided to ask what advice seniors would give to underclassmen, and to my surprise there was a lot of similar answers. The first secret was to "stay on top of your course work, and don't procrastinate, because it will snowball," which came from fellow senior Kenzie Graves. Second, "Apply for scholarships early on and just take in every moment,"...

According to Amy Cunningham, Editor of RomanceFromTheHeart.com, in many cultures around the globe, red represents p...

    Zach Spadt|Feb 8, 2018

    The Burns Broncs dropped an away and home game last week. Playing Glenrock at home, the Broncs lost 48-24 Friday, but it was a tale of two halves said head coach Sean Patterson. “We were not prepared to play at the speed that Glenrock was playing at early Friday,” Patterson said. “They took advantage of our turnovers and built a nice lead.” The Broncs got off to a crawling start, ending the first quarter down 18-4. The second quarter wasn’t much better with the Broncs completing the second half down 12-33. It was a different second half, how...
