ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Bird poop was the likely cause of a December shutdown at a nuclear power plant outside New York City, according to the operator. An Indian Point reactor safely shut down for three days starting Dec. 14 following an electrical disturbance on outdoor high voltage transmission lines, Entergy Corp. said. An outside expert is analyzing whether what’s technically called bird “streaming” was the culprit. In a report to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission last month, the New Orleans-based company said the automatic reactor shutdow...

A few years ago on Facebook I read a story about a young child trying to select the right puppy at the shelter. Each puppy she picked up her father would look at her and she would say no.

Puppies and dogs sigh when they are relaxed, comfortable, happy and content. It truly is a wonderful sound. People sigh when, exasperated, frustrated or tired, and...
WORLAND – Word of mouth, bits of information and tips received from asking around has helped one City of Worland employee begin what has now turned into a group effort to show patriotic pride in Worland for the upcoming summer holidays.

Wyoming Governor Matt Mead signed the new biennium budget into law Thursday, with a few line item vetoes that were mostly overridden by the Senate. Sen. Gerald Geis (R-Worland) said “We did as good as we could do with the shortfall. I don’t think the shortfall is over.

We’ve got to get a little more diversified.” He added that he doesn’t think agriculture gets enough credit for helping the state with tourism, including helping feed wildlife...
GLENROCK – The top-ranked Lady Warriors secured themselves a spot in the state tournament next weekend, taking down Douglas 49-39 in the semifinals of the 3A East Regional Basketball Tournament in Glenrock on Friday.
