U.S. Treasuries not the safe bet they once were, research says
JACKSON HOLE, Wyoming (Reuters) -No safer than a bund. Or a gilt. Or an OAT. Long touted as hands-down the world's "safe haven" securities, the behavior of U.S. Treasuries during and after the COVID-19 pandemic calls that label into question, suggesting they are little different from the debt issued by the likes of Germany, Britain, France, or even big corporations.

Six New Champions Crowned at the Area IX Championships
The 2024 USEA Area IX Championships featured six divisions at The Event at Archer in Cheyenne, Wyoming, from Aug. 16-18. Meet the new champions below!. Travis Atkinson, Lehi, Utah, and his own Calzini led the Preliminary Championship from start to finish (43.5). “Dexter,” an 8-year-old Westphalian gelding (Casual Chic Z x Stutbuch I Carla) was a risky purchase since Atkinson didn’t get a change to ride him first, “but he has risen to every challenge I’ve put in front of him. He is such an eager to please type of horse. He is alway trying his hardest to figure out his job and to do it well,” he said. “He is very different than my last horse which has forced me to really stretch and grow as a rider.”

The Mayor’s Minute from Mayor Patrick Collins
Last week, I was invited to attend an event hosted by the American Warrior Initiative. My friend Marlin told me they were giving a dog to well-deserving veteran and I was excited to attend. The event held at the Community House was so much more than I could have expected. The room was filled with realtors who were there to learn how they can support the effort to get veterans into homeownership. Jason Redman, a retired Navy Seal who was horribly wounded while serving in Iraq, was there to share his inspiring message and taught us we really don’t have bad days. The highlight was a beautiful dog given to Brett Steward that will be trained to support him as he lives with the consequences of his service to our country. It was a great day, and I appreciate everyone who made it happen.
