The 2024-25 Powder River County budget was finalized, with the entire county budget going down due to completion of large ticket items such as the Little Powder Bridge. One major point to note is federal funding providing a 1 million dollar windfall for the county, through ARPA funding, a stimulus bill passed in 2021. Those funds have been set to be used for some major upgrades, such as an updated 911 system called “Central Square”, which is funded for $150,000.

Returning coach Ashley Emmons had four runners competing in the meet, including returning racers Sean and Christian Oylear and Addison Draine, along with Reece Emmons, who ran her first ever 5,000 meter...
Hawk football played their second game of the year, hosting the Ekalaka Bulldogs on a lovely Friday evening. The Hawks scored on a QB keeper in the first quarter, as Jayce Schroeder ran 40 yards for a touchdown. The two-point conversion was no good.

Their blouses hung open near the neck and sweat stains bloomed around their armpits. Across from them, two vaqueros worked in a corral with a nervous colt.
