Fremont County School District 38 in Arapahoe has a new acting superintendent.

Former assistant superintendent Chantell Denson stepped in last week when former Superintendent Jonathan Braack left to take over the Niobrara County School District.

During the 16 months Braack was superintendent, the once struggling Arapahoe Schoo met No Child Left Behind’s requirements for Annual Yearly Progress for the first time under the Safe Harbor program.

Three workers were burned in the second fire in a week to break out at the same power plant near Wheatland.
 
Basin Electric Power Cooperative says the fire broke out early Sunday at the Laramie River Station.
 
The Bismarck, N.D.-based utility said in a release Monday the fire started in the plant's coal unloading area.
 
Three workers were taken to Platte County Memorial Hospital. One worker was flown to a burn center in Greeley, Colo., and remains there for treatment.
