Workforce topic of EWC Roundtable
TORRINGTON – Community success and the workforce will be the topic of the next in a series of roundtable discussions hosted by Eastern Wyoming College President Lesley Travers here.
Travers invites business, industry and community members, as well as other interested parties, to the next Community Roundtable, set for noon on Thursday, Jan. 8, in the conference room of the CTEC Building on the EWC campus in Torrington.

“Elements for communities to thrive or decline in the 21st Century will depend on how well we cultivate and retain a robust workforce,” Travers said in a press release. “For this to occur, education at the community college level needs to be closely aligned with workforce and economic development efforts.
“In this round table, I would like to encourage anyone in business and industry to join me to discuss their current and/or future needs,” she said. “How can EWC provide support and assistance to our business partners?”
Attendees are invited to bring their own, brown-bag lunch, if desired. For more information, call (307) 532-8303.

Pratt-Ferris Ranch presentation
TORRINGTON – The history and impact on the local agriculture community of the Pratt-Ferris Ranch will be the topic of a presentation at the next meeting of the Goshen County Historical Society.
The meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 27, in the community room of the Platte Valley Bank branch on North Main Street in Torrington. Special guest will be Donna Cay Heinz, who will talk about the historic ranch, which was located in eastern Wyoming.
The Pratt-Ferris Ranch was owned and operated in Goshen County by the Pratt and Ferris Cattle Company. Founded in 1879, the company also operated the U Cross Ranch on Clear Creek in Johnson County, as well as the Upper PF Ranch, originally located on Rawhide Creek, also in Goshen County.
The original partners were James Harvey Pratt, Marshall Field, Levi Leiter, Robert M. Fair, and Cornelius Ferris, with Pratt as the general manager of ranching operations.

The presentation is free and the public is invited to attend.

Play It Again, Sam hits WNCC stage
SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. – The Western Nebraska Community College Theatre Arts Dept. will present the Woody Allen play, Play It Again, Sam, in March.
Dinner theater performances are set for 7:30 p.m. March 2 – 3, with a scheduled 2 p.m. matinee March 4. A show-only performance is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. March 4. All productions will be in the New Theater in the John N. Harms Center on campus in Scottsbluff.

The production follows a recently divorced film magazine writer, Allan Felix, who is trying to restart his romantic life. He falls in love with Linda, the wife of his best friend Dick. Throughout the show, he seeks advice from the ghost of his idol Humphrey Bogart, but soon he realizes he needs to just be himself instead of imitating Bogart.
Cast members include James Maag as Allan Felix, Dani Lopez as Linda Christie, Troy Jacobucci as Dick Christie, James Buxbaum as Humphrey Bogart and Pasiensia Marex as Allan’s girl.
“Play It Again, Sam has been a delight to stage,” said Robert Thompson Jr., WNCC theatre instructor and director “With this play, it is my hope to lead our young men to the conclusion that we don’t need to try to be something we are not.”
