    Karla Pomeroy, Editor|Apr 14, 2018

    So let's start this column first with a confession that yes, I am a TV junkie. I was so excited to get our first DVR when we were in Basin because working so many nights I was missing some of my favorite shows. Now I never have to miss a favorite show. One feature of our satellite company is that we can set it to record all the primetime shows on the main four networks. For a TV junkie like myself this is great. Especially when new shows debut as it gives me a chance to check them out. Now...

    Tracie Mitchell, Staff Writer|Apr 14, 2018

    WORLAND – Nothing brings history to life more than actually having a chance to see what you are learning about with your own eyes and experiencing the depths of emotions the hands-on experience creates. That's what happened to 26 Worland High School senior AP history students when they visited Washington, D.C. from March 24 – 31 with their teacher Randy Durr. Durr has taken the trip 18 times during his career as an educator, including five times with Worland High School students. "It's alm...

    Alex Kuhn, Sports Editor|Apr 14, 2018

But Reed slipping on the green jacket was the second most impressive highlight at Augusta National, the first belongs to Tony Finau. What's so impressive about a guy that finished tied for 10th you ask? Well, Finau played all four rounds on a severe high ankle sprain after he dislocated his ankle during the Par-3 Contest the day before the Master's started. Finau dislocated his ankle, popped that sucker...
