  • Karla's Kolumn: Format changes coming next week

    Karla Pomeroy, Editor|Apr 7, 2018

    Almost three years ago we made some changes to the look and the format of the Northern Wyoming Daily News. We changed our flag on the top of the front page, we moved vitals inside to page 2 and we separated into two sections to provide color on our sports pages. Well, a lot has happened in three years and we are going to make another change starting next week.

    Apr 7, 2018

  • Worland citizen wants home health, hospice care

    Karla Pomeroy, Editor|Apr 7, 2018

    WORLAND — Why does Washakie County not have a home health and hospice care program? That was a question posed by concerned citizen Lynnette Swing at Tuesday’s Worland City Council meeting. “I’ve been involved with older people in the community and I want to know why we don’t have hospice or home health.” Currently Washakie County’s home health needs are served by Community Home Health out of Thermopolis.

Not so much that th...
