While some fall sports are still getting started, the Powell High School golf team is already heading to their conference tournament.

A fast response from local search and rescue personnel may have saved the lives of a Powell couple on Tuesday, the Park County Sheriff's Office says.

The couple — Daniel P. Thomas, 34, and Jenny L. Thomas, 32 — reportedly went into the Buffalo Bill Reservoir shortly before noon, when their kayaks overturned.

A judge has asked health officials to determine whether a Powell man alleged to have confined and beaten his wife in March understood the difference between right and wrong at the time.

Powell High School’s tennis teams saw some mixed success over some 550 miles and three matches in Cody, Jackson and Riverton last week.

Several PHS players fared well.

What a difference two weeks can make.

Taking big strides from their season-opening home tournament, the Powell High School boys’ golf team went to Lander last week and fared 110 shots better.

On second thought, a Powell man decided he was OK with a three- to five-year prison sentence.

In late July, Daniel Anderson backed out of a deal with the Park County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office that called for him to serve prison time on a felony count of possessing methamphetamine with intent to deliver.

After nearly four years of denials, former Powell Police Officer Kirk Chapman has acknowledged that he sexually assaulted a woman while on duty in September 2011.

Chapman made the acknowledgement at a brief, unremarkable hearing in Park County’s District Court on Monday afternoon.

One of the most rapidly growing businesses in the United States can be found right here in Park County.

Cody police say a man used a knife to stab his roommate, threaten two other people and damage some furniture on Wednesday night.
