SHERIDAN – Warming weather conditions have led to early snowmelt in some parts of the Bighorn National Forest, conditions that are ripe for damage to roads, trails, and vegetation. Forest Service regulations prohibit over-snow travel in areas with less than six inches of snow. Patrollers have documented snowmobile tracks in areas that can take years to recover. Violators can be cited and fined. Spring is the most vulnerable time for roads and trails. Damage caused during spring snowmelt can quickly lead to costly repairs, soil erosion, d...
What an exciting time in Worland. There is much to celebrate. We started off the month with a state championship high jumper in indoor track, after last month having some state championship wrestlers. Then came this past weekend. And what a weekend it was … an historical weekend. The Worland Lady Warriors basketball team won the first ever girls basketball state championship for the school. A job well done in a hard-fought state title game. The Warriors, just hours before, won the school’s third boys basketball state championship, the fir...

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Reality hit Middle Tennessee State guard Jaqawn Raymond as he walked triumphantly off the floor. Giddy Potts thought it might come later, once he returned to the team hotel and flipped on the TV. It sunk in immediately for Michigan State. Relying on the same balanced scoring that carried them to the NCAA Tournament, the No. 15 seed Blue Raiders ended the second-seeded Spartans’ title hopes in convincing fashion Friday. They never trailed in a 90-81 first-round victory that sent brackets around the country into trash cans. “We...
WORLAND — As Hans and Franz would say “It’s time to pump *clap* you up!” Worland High School will be hosting a powerlifting meet today.

The teams from around the Big Horn Basin — Cody, Powell, and Greybull, have been invited to participate in today’s meet. While he’s expecting a modest turnout from other competitors, he’s still excited to see the Worland lifters perform and believes it will be a fun event. Last year, in t...
FONTANA, Calif. (AP) — A swarm of bees has taken over the flag stand at Fontana, forcing NASCAR to improvise before the start of qualifying. The starter is using a temporary platform on the fan side of the fence to start the Sprint Cup Series qualifying laps Friday, track officials say. Track officials dispensed with most of the bees with a non-lethal spray, but a few angry ones hung around. Although the red light on top of the flag stand is still functional, nobody wanted to wave a green flag in the remaining bees’ faces. NASCAR officials tol...
