Hoping Broncos win streak continues

 

A few months ago I wrote about how exciting the Broncos would be to watch this season. When I wrote it I didn’t know just how exciting, especially the last 11 games as they ride an 11-game win streak into this Saturday’s divisional playoff game with the Baltimore Ravens.

I haven’t been this excited

Happy New Year: We’re still here

As 2012 draws to a close, and the world has not ended as many predicted, we at the Basin Republican Rustler decided this week to take a look at years past. We’ve included on this page an editorial from the Rustler’s previous editor K. Warren Brome. Most of it is almost like it could be

Christmas visit brings back sibling memories

So I can’t control my excitement any longer. As I write this Tuesday it’s a little less than 24 hours when I will see my older sister. She’s flying out for Christmas. A visit six years in the making.

Her visiting brings back lots of Christmas memories and memories of the two of us growing

A clear case of domestic violence

By Casey Gwinn, Esq.

As the news stories continue to flood my Yahoo and Google Alerts about the recent murder-suicide in Kansas City, three things trouble me about the stories.

A week ago I encouraged the town council to fund the Basin Police Department’s request to help fund an upgrade to a new computer-aided dispatch system.

This week I must give kudos to the council for funding the request, but also kudos to Basin Chief of Police Chris Kampbell for using the week to bring

Random thoughts on council funding ideas and opportunities to serve

Some weeks my mind gets jumbled and I have lots of ideas to write about but can’t really formulate one idea to write a whole column or editorial. Such is this week as I write this with tissues and cough drops near by, battling the cold that many are battling in town.

The Big Horn

A Thanksgiving farewell

Just over two years ago I hired a young lady as our next reporter here at the Basin Republican Rustler. Jennifer Butler didn’t have any experience in journalism or the newspaper business except writing for her high school paper.

I’ve watched her grow both professionally and personally. She, like myself, has been able to use

Hurrying projects not the right approach

Organizations lately have been in a hurry to get grant funding before all the plans are set; they rush to meet deadlines with many questions still left unanswered. That’s when mistakes can happen or things can get missed.

First, let’s look back over a year ago when the then fair board began seeking grants and

Time to move voting into the 21st century

Ever since Florida’s hanging chad incident in Florida in the 2000 general election voting in the United States has come under intense scrutiny. You would think one of the more advanced countries in the world, the one that promotes democracy and tries to tell other countries how to vote would get it right. You would

Time to get out and vote

It’s that time again … time to get out and vote if you haven’t already. More than 900 residents have requested absentee ballots with a majority having turned in the ballots last week, according to the county clerk’s office.

Early voting is becoming a norm around the country. People want to get their voting over
