I’ve heard it said a few times this week that it seems weird that Easter, a sacred Christian holiday, would be the same day as April Fool’s Day. The problem is that April Fool’s Day is always April 1, while Easter does not have a set date except for it always being on a Sunday. If you read Wednesday’s paper and The Conversation article by Brent Landau then you know the reason for this variation is that Easter always falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox. So, in 2019, Easter will be celebrated on April...

WORLAND – Countless traditions have branched out the past few centuries to celebrate Easter and its meaning. Though the most popular include church services and egg hunts, a few families have also developed their own takes on the holiday. Kathy Evans' personal childhood memories of the holiday included a few unique traditions. "My dad was a pastor, so I remember waking up bright and early and making our way up to the mountain for sunrise services. I would sit there and shiver. I remember s...
The sneaky good part about one of the best stretches in sports By ALEX KUHN Sports Editor From March to the end of April is one of the best times on the sports calendar. There's the NCAA tournament and today the Final Four gets underway, then Monday a National Champion will be crowned (*Fingers crossed* hopefully it's the Jayhawks). The Masters is next weekend, which could be huge this year with a possibly resurrected Tiger Woods. The NBA playoffs start the following week, and what looked like...
Fullback position still evolving, developing for Cowboys LARAMIE – Mike Bath wants three but, right now, he only has one. The University of Wyoming fullbacks/tight ends coach wants three fullbacks who can play in games for the Cowboys this season. The departure of four-year starter Drew Van Maanen left a rather large gap at that position.
