POWELL - Competing for the first time in nearly a month the Worland Warriors swim team started 2017 with an impressive outing at the Powell Invitational on Saturday. The last time the Warriors were in a competitive setting was on Dec. 10 at the Rawlins Pentathlon, even then not the entire team traveled. Their following two meets in Buffalo and Newcastle were canceled due to weather, then it was time for Christmas break. With an unusual amount of practice time the Warriors kept at it by grinding...

The Big Horn Basin has an incredible temperature range. In the last six months, I saw 104 degrees in the summer and 36 degrees BELOW zero last week! Humans are lucky to spend most of their time in nice, temperature-controlled buildings but plants aren’t that lucky. It is really quite amazing that plants can survive these temperature extremes. How do they do it? I’ll focus on plant adaptations to freezing and will write another article this summer on heat adaptations. Freezing causes major issues for plant cells which is why tomato plants get...

About 30 people attended the Council For the Big Horn Range meeting with some wanting the state to accept federal lands feeling the state would manage the lands better, while others voiced concern about the state selling off land and thus that which is public would become private. Rob Davidson of the CBR opened the meeting discussing the proposed amendment (Senate Joint Resolution 0...
