The original pumps for the lagoon were installed as far back as the 70s, according to R...

By Joe Stuver A lot of folks are wondering how the heck I managed to shoot myself. I’ve also noted, though, that my stupid causes a lot of anxiety for those who care for me. We Stuver “boys” have indeed kept our Guardian Angels pretty dang busy. Come to think of it though, that also transcends into the Patten side of the family. As in most stories, I have to start at the beginning. (You didn’t really think you were going to get off that easy, did you?) With the last back surgery, the installation of an electronic spinal therapy device, I’m act...

The taxable valuation for the Belle Creek District, according to Powder River County Assessor Larry Richards, fell from $12,358,549 to $9,772,165. Most other districts’ valuation either fell or increased by only small margins, according to Ric...
