Today's riddle: What are the two favorite words for a shark to hear? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Hilltop Bank restores personal, business banking services (county10.com) — Hilltop Bank in Casper has restored most personal and business online banking after a cybersecurity breach earlier this month forced systems offline, delaying transactions and ATM balance updates. The outage created serious payroll headaches for the Town of Bar Nunn and the Casper Housing Authority, prompting local leaders to consider backup banking plans so city operations and housing services aren't jeopardized by future disruptions.
2. Your Sunday, Sept. 27 Guide: Three things to do in the Oil City (oilcity.news) — If you're in Casper today, you've got several ways to unwind, from an early Ashtanga yoga session at Wyoming Yoga & Wellness to The Great Mountain Mingle at Hogadon Lodge on Casper Mountain. Later, Backwards Distilling Co. wraps up its summer cocktail specials, and Shepherd of the Hills hosts the Casper Chamber Music Society's season-opening concert with a reception afterward.
3. Wyoming Tough: Casper Vet Killed While Barrel Racing Remembered As 'Human Tornado' (cowboystatedaily.com) — Casper is mourning Dr. Gail Mahnke, the retired veterinarian who founded Casper Animal Medical Center and served on the Casper-Natrona County Health Department board, after she died from a barrel racing accident earlier this month. Friends and family recall her tireless animal care, adventurous spirit, and decision to raise her nephews as her own, as well as her final gift as an organ donor saving multiple lives.
4. 'It's killing me': Soaring fuel prices pound Wyoming's food providers and producers (capcity.news) — Soaring fuel prices are squeezing Casper-based Eat Wyoming and the Food Bank of Wyoming, raising transportation costs to move local meat and produce and deliver food to families statewide. With diesel over $6 a gallon, routes are being cut, trucks parked, and already tight budgets stretched, which could mean fewer local products moved through Casper and more pressure on food-insecure residents.
5. Congressional Bills H.R. 3657, H.R. 7250, S. 550, S. 603, S. 759 and S. 790 Signed into Law (whitehouse.gov) — A new federal law has officially renamed Casper's National Historic Trails Interpretive Center as the Barbara L. Cubin National Historic Trails Interpretive Center, honoring the late Wyoming congresswoman. The same bill signing also covered several unrelated national measures on hydropower, tribal land claims, oceans access, and a historic site in Virginia, but the renaming directly affects a key cultural landmark in Casper.
