Spring has finally sprung in Wyoming, as much as Wyoming ever gets a spring. Local columnist John Davis wrote Tuesday about some of the signs of spring he witnesses. I’ll add mine along with some other random thoughts. Spring brings with it all the birds returning. It’s been pretty quiet this winter at our house but this week especially there has been lots of chatter between small song birds, pheasants and the loud sandhill cranes. It’s the wonderful sounds of Wyoming spring. ~~ ~~ ~~ Spring also brings with it spring burning in the area. Alrea...
WORLAND — Jim Rannells of Basin, author of the book “A Peace That Passes All Understanding” will be the guest speaker at the Mount Calvary Assembly of God Church, Third and Robertson, in Worland this Sunday at 11 a.m. Rannells and his family live in Basin and are active members of the Baptist church.

EVANSTON — Evanston residents concerned about the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center proposed for Uinta County had another opportunity to share their concerns and ask questions during a Uinta County Say No event held earlier this month. Evanston Mayor Kent Williams and Uinta County Commissioner Craig Welling both attended the March 17 event, along with about two dozen other individuals. Local event organizers shared a brief film focusing on how detention of illegal immigrants impacts the families left behind, following w...
WORLAND – For generations the Worland Rotary Club has had a tradition of hosting exchange students coming to Worland and Worland students going to other countries. But sadly, that may come to an end because of a lack of host families. “It’s been a great program but its drying up and not just here, across the country. It’s bigger in other countries than it is here. The U.S. is less apt to open their homes to people than in other countries it seems. Worland has gone up and beyond, we’ve had two [exchange students] for years and with the size...
There's something about the thrill of being on stage. The lights in your eyes, the dark figures of the audience filling your vision, the vibration of the stage when the music is being played. It gives you a sort of thrill that you might feel when playing on a field, with fans cheering. Sure, maybe you're a little less sweaty, and not wearing a jersey that smells like your brother's feet, but the experience is kind of the same.

WORLAND - A 1-0 victory may not look like a dominating win, but the Worland Warriors soccer team did just that Friday night at Worland High School. Matching up against 3A's defending state champions and 3A Northwest division foe the Cody Broncs, the Warriors controlled most the match and had plenty of shots on goal but, to use a basketball term, the shots were not falling. Fortunately for the Warriors, with less than two minutes remaining in the match, junior Rylan Mocko struck in the...
After a wild first and second round of the NCAA men's basketball tournament, there's been some handwringing over the state of college basketball. We finally had a 16-seed drop a 1-seed (I feel bad for the University of Virginia fans, but I was slightly relieved someone other than my Kansas Jayhawks took that bullet) and another 1-seed failing to make it to the second week of the tournament. Some in sports media were saying college basketball is in official crisis mode Whether you were watching...
