Big Horn County ranked 10th in the state for child well-being. The Wyoming Children’s Action Alliance took 12 indicators and ranked the 15 most populous counties in the state.

Ranking 10th isn’t bad but shows we have a lot more to do to protect the well-being of our children. But, some of the data is

Let’s have a national presidential primary

Does anyone truly understand the presidential primary process. It appears to be much more convoluted than the electoral college.

The Republican caucuses and primaries began Jan. 3 in Iowa and continue through July 31 with the direct election in the North Mariana Islands. Official delegate votes are then cast at the Republican National Convention in

Pondering the State of the Union address

While laying out pages tonight I listened to President Obama’s State of the Union Address. I was interrupted and didn’t hear everything he said, but I did like a few things he said and a few things I’m still pondering.

But one thing I just don’t understand with any president’s State of the Union address,

Mixed reviews for Broncos season

I have avoided writing a Denver Broncos column this year for several reasons. At the start of the season, well I wasn’t sure what to expect with a new coach, new management and the Tebow craze beginning (rest assured this won’t be a Tebow column, not entirely). I didn’t want to make boasts of playoff

Lighting up a new year not all it’s cracked up to be

Last week in this spot we took a look at 2011 and discussed a few things locally to expect in 2012. This week we look at a grander scale of what to expect.

Expect to see fewer incandescent light bulbs as the phase out begins and we are forced to go with more energy efficient,

Wishing for peace on earth

As 2011 draws to a close for some reason I’m thinking of one of the last lines in “Miss Congeniality” where Sandra Bullock’s character says “I really do want world peace.” Throughout the movie the joke is that every beauty contestant will answer world peace to the question what they want for the world.

In

Cutting service and raising rates not the answer

The U.S. Postal Service is between the proverbial rock and a hard place. Technological changes has hurt the organization with more people e-mailing, texting, conducting more business online including receiving and paying bills. This has reduced the number of people using their services, thus reducing revenues.

But, they still provide a valuable service. There are
