Hundreds of demonstrators gathered today in Cheyenne for the 'No Kings' protest—with local native Greg Scott, a Vietnam veteran, among them.
Former dean Cameron Wright sued the University of Wyoming this week—claiming that President Ed Seidel forced his demotion after Wright refused to sign off on a $500,000 funding transfer to a new computing school linked to Seidel’s partner.
The lawsuit asks a judge to reinstate him, award back pay and attorney fees, and provide further relief as critics, including faculty and donors, back Wright's claims.

Cheyenne celebrity chef Petrina Peart returned to the NBC competition Yes, Chef! after her first-round elimination at a birthday watch party at Brownie's Tasting Bar—preparing multi-course dishes with her own twists—and later won a redemption round by defeating chef Christopher Morales to rejoin the contest for a $250,000 prize.
The Medicine Bow Rail Trail spans 21 miles through Medicine Bow National Forest and offers bikers, runners and horseback riders a quiet route among aspen and spruce (with Lake Owen as one of its trailheads).
