This Side of the Pond – Jan. 31

By Sarah Pridgeon   Before I moved to Sundance, my pet ownership experiences were sadly limited. There’s simply not enough room in a London apartment for an additional animal; frankly, I had trouble fitting my husband in when he visited my green and pleasant land. My grandparents owned a Yorkshire Toy Terrier, but it...

Derailing a superintendent

By Randy Tucker (Originally published in the Riverton Ranger) The move to usurp the voice of the voters goes too far. It’s been an unprecedented two weeks to open the 2013 session of the Wyoming Senate. While personal disputes are commonplace in politics, this session took the personal vendetta to a new level with...

Letters to the Editor – Jan. 24

The day after our last City Council meeting, I signed an agreement with Janet Lake which allows us to place the failing water tank on her property just west of where it is today. That morning, our engineers (TRI-Hydro), city staff, Engineering America (the people we purchased the tank from), and Wyoming Water Development...

This Side of the Pond

By Sarah Pridgeon It’s amazing that I’ve managed to make it this far into writing about being an Englishwoman in Wyoming without discussing the makings of A Nice Cup of Tea. It is, after all, the very lifeblood of the Brit and something not a lot of Wyomingites have had opportunity to appreciate. Because...

This Side of the Pond – Jan. 17

By Sarah Pridgeon We Brits ruled the waves for hundreds of years, sailing to lands unknown and contracting scurvy for the sake of exotic spice. It’s said that no British resident lives more than 150 miles from the ocean; I, myself, hail from Poole, the 1000-year-old port that played host to many of the...

It’s been discussed here before as well as on various talk radio stations. I, for one, am dead set against any tax increase, anywhere, anyhow, but your view may...

This Side of the Pond – Jan. 10

Heathrow Airport, where they bid you farewell in style.

Living in one country while bearing the nationality of another, I seem never to be in the right place. As you read this column, I am recovering from a ten-day trip across the oceans to bestow my twice-yearly Parental Visitation upon my loved ones. While in England, I was referred to as “the woman...

From the Statehouse to Your House

By Rep. Mark Semlek The General Session of 62nd Wyoming State Legislature will begin at noon on January 8. I have had several people contact me recently about proposed bills that the legislature will be considering during the 40 day session. I would like to mention a few points regarding the proposed 10 cents ...

For Sarah's Column

By Sarah Pridgeon Christmas may be over, but it’s surely never too late to share the tale of one’s first encounter with lumberjacking. If there’s ever an experience unlikely to be offered in London town, it is the chopping down of a tree. This is not just because there are far too few inside...

Letters to the Editor – Jan. 3

I recently learned about a Wyoming statewide gas tax hike that is set to be voted on by our state legislature this coming January. This new gas tax hike will raise the price of every single gallon of fuel purchased in the state of Wyoming by $.10 a gallon. How many gallons of gas...
