Freedom in the West, but not for women

I moved to Wyoming a few years ago for its outdoor recreation, but I also liked the state’s history of championing equal rights for women. As early as 1869, it codified women’s voting rights, 50 years before the 19th Amendment did the same thing. Western women in the 19th century quickly proved their mettle, helping to build communities in rugged and isolated landscapes.

Truck driver hits telephone pole on SR-14

Sparks crackled and popped when truck driver Benjamin Chandler, of Carson, struck a telephone pole at Milepost 21 today, while traveling westbound on State Route 14. "People said sparks were flying all over the place," said Washington State Trooper Will Finn. "It sounded pretty dramatic." The incident occurred at 8:39 a.m. Finn said Chandler, 30, heard something pop. He wasn't sure if it was a flat tire or something more serious so he made the decision to drive into the ditch. The truck scraped along the side of the road and left a 300-foot scar.
