TEN SLEEP — The Ten Sleep After School program at the Ten Sleep Learning Center currently has enough funding to operate throughout the rest of the school year, thanks in large part to local donations and grants.

MARLEY JAY AP Markets Writer NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks slumped Wednesday as the price of oil suffered its worst one-day drop since September, and the Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell to its lowest level in almost two years. Investors are worried that low oil prices mean there’s not that much demand for fuel. That would be a sign that growth in the global economy is slowing down. Stocks in the U.S. started sharply lower following widespread selling overseas, and looked like they were headed for huge losses. At one point the Dow Jones indus...
