The COVID shutdown closed our doors for the season and meant cancellation of several planned events.

Fortunately, we were still able to utilize much of...

Children and grandchildren could have the opportunity to participate in the management of a family business or could finance their education using assets gifted from family members. According to Goetting, the types of property that can be gifted i...

By Powder River County Public Health Officer Sean Hill GOOD NEWS! The more we find out about COVID, the better we can tailor our response. After significant research, the CDC, along with other top scientists, have modified the quarantine recommendations, decreasing the number of days a contact needs to quarantine.

This should help in the hardships people face with a full 14-day quarantine. Powder...
