  • Karla's Kolumn: Colds, detergent pods and Trump

    Karla Pomeroy, Editor|Jan 20, 2018

    I hate colds. They last forever and I never think I feel bad enough to stay home. I hate taking sick days. It is not that I think I am invaluable or irreplaceable, because I am not. It is just that my parents instilled a strong work ethic in me and staying home when I know there is work to be done is not easy for me. Thank goodness the Daily News has a laptop enabling me to work from home, which I have done two days this week in hopes of stopping the spread of this, which has already hit three members of the editorial staff. Personally, I...

    ALEX VEIGA, AP Business Writer|Jan 20, 2018

    Investors shrugged off the potential for a federal government shutdown Friday, driving U.S. stocks higher and setting new milestones for several of the indexes. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index, Nasdaq composite and Russell 2000 index of smaller-company stocks finished at record highs as the market bounced back from modest losses a day earlier. The S&P 500 has now posted a weekly gain in nine of the last 10 weeks. Retailers, banks and consumer goods companies accounted for much of the latest gains. Energy stocks fell along with crude oil prices....

    Karla Pomeroy, Editor|Jan 20, 2018

    WORLAND — With a more positive CREG report, Rep. Mike Greear said the Wyoming State Legislature likely won’t be looking at any new taxes during next month’s budget session. Greear spoke to the Worland City Council Tuesday night about the upcoming session. “We’re going into a budget session this year. Really going into 3 ½ years of the downturn in Wyoming’s economy. We’ve been working on paring back the budget,” he said. Greear said the most recent report from the Consensus Revenue Estimating Group added another $197 million in revenue for the...

  • Hear me out...The most courageous 2018 NFL Championship predictions

    Alex Kuhn, Sports Editor|Jan 20, 2018

    The Divisional round started with a dud but after that, the games got better and better, until bang, we were given one of the craziest, is this real life, plays in NFL playoff history. When Blake Bortles threw that pass to fullback Tommy Bohanon... I kid. Of course, I'm talking about the "Minneapolis Miracle." Being completely honest, I didn't watch the second half of Vikings-Saints game live. After the Vikings went up 17-0, I thought that was a wrap for the Saints and went to watch "Jumanji: We...

  • Warriors fall to No. 4 Rawlins 66-37

    Alex Kuhn, Sports Editor|Jan 20, 2018

    WORLAND -Friday night's game against No. 4 Rawlins started out very promising for the Worland Warriors basketball team. The Warriors were able to execute their game plan against one of 3A's tallest teams for most of the first quarter, and if not for a few bad bounces could have held the lead at the end of the first quarter. Instead, the Warriors trailed the Outlaws 11-10. The Warriors continued to battle for most of the second quarter and with 3:26 left in the second quarter Rawlins called a tim...

  • Democrats, GOP try to dodge blame for shuttered government

    Jan 20, 2018

    WASHINGTON (AP) — Hours after shuttering much of the federal government, feuding Democrats and Republicans in Congress spent Saturday dodging blame for a paralyzing standoff over immigration and showed few signs of progress on negotiations needed to end it. The finger-pointing played out in rare weekend proceedings in both the House and Senate, where lawmakers were eager to show voters they were actively working for a solution — or at least actively making their case why the other party was at fault. The scene highlighted the high pol...
