The Powder River County Sheriff's Department has hired a new deputy. Last week, Ayche (pronounced like the letter "H") Draine donned his vest for the first time.

During an interview this week, Ayche said his grandfather, Harlan, was from the area, and Ayche spent time here when he was growing up. Ayche is named after his great-grandfather. The Draine and Drane families are distantly related, so when...

Billings (Rocky Mountain College). Country dances. Double dating. Beer drinking. Rites of passage. Although distance (1,500 miles) has separated us for many years, I'm now dealing with another passage: the...
