TEN SLEEP – During the Ten Sleep School monthly board meeting Monday evening, Ten Sleep Superintendent Jimmy Phelps explained to board members that state and federal cuts, along with an increase in health care premiums could cause a $282,000 negative effect on next year’s budget. To address this issue a task force has been created to help with recommendations on where cuts can and will be done. “I’m hoping that that is the worst case scenario.

For a second consecutive year, the Obama administration set a record for times federal employees told citizens, journalists and others that despite searching they couldn’t find a single page of...

WORLAND — The Bureau of Land Management Wind River/Bighorn Basin District tentatively plans to conduct three prescribed fire projects within the Cody and Worland field office areas this spring. These projects are contingent upon fuel moisture and weather meeting optimal treatment conditions. “The prescribed fire projects are designed to enhance rangeland and woodland vegetation health, improve wildlife habitat, increase livestock and wildlife forage and improve distribution, and reduce the hazardous build-up of fuels which lessens the pro...
I have a bit of ADD today and I couldn’t play “Sophie’s Choice” with the two sports stories that dominated ESPN and social media this week. So I’ll touch on both topics for this week’s column. First up, Super Bowl LI. I never once doubted that the greatest NFL quarterback of all-time, Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr., would lead the New England Patriots back from a 25-point deficit and on to a historic Super Bowl victory. Not once! OK, that’s a lie. I thought the game was a wrap when Brady threw the pick-six in the second quarter. From that poi...
