Last week I talked about how one of my favorite things about working for a newspaper is that every day brings something new. This week was the perfect example. There was a lot of “normal” stuff like staff meetings and coverage of government meetings. But I also had the opportunity to cover the play “Big Fish” which is a play I was not familiar with. It was delightful with great singing, wonderful sets and a good storyline. I was able to interview history teacher Randy Durr about his recent field study trip to Washington, D.C. and then ask que...
WORLAND — Former NASCAR driver Kyle Petty took time from his interview regarding his upcoming 2017 Charity Ride Across America to discuss NASCAR and his role as an analyst and color commentator with NBC. He said among weekly duties he also will again be doing pre-race and post-race coverage with Dale Jarrett and Krista Voda. NBC takes over coverage of NASCAR in July. Petty said it’s a lot different from racing. “I don’t feel as bad on Monday morning because I’m not sore and beat up because I’ve wrecked,” he said. He added, “It has been surprisi...
WORLAND – “The traditional pot theory is antiquated,” said Ben Cort during a presentation on the effects of marijuana legalization in Worland on Friday. “If we apply the construct that marijuana is just the same old plant we’ve identified with since the 1970s, then we are missing the point of the conversation. Big Marijuana is here. It’s a business.” Cort, a spokesman for Smart Approaches to Marijuana (SAM), director of professional relations at the Center for Dependency, Addiction and Rehabilitation in Denver, and the author of “Weed, Inc.:...
WORLAND - A landslide on Thursday afternoon closed a portion of the Black Mountain Oil and Gas Field on public land on the Washakie/Hot Springs county line. The Bureau of Land Management estimates the landslide to be approximately 10 acres with a depth of 20-30 feet. It destroyed the road to nine wells at the eastern end of the oilfield in Section 31. Approximately the last mile of the Black Mountain Road, from the landslide to the top of Black Mountain, is signed and closed until further...
WORLAND - For the first half in their match against the Douglas Bearcats the No. 4 Worland Warriors were out of sync and having troubles finishing off goals. Going into halftime the Warriors were leading 1-0 off a Rylan Macko free kick in the 41st minute but were not playing to their potential. Coming out of the break the Warriors were focused and for a majority of the second half enforced their will on the Bearcats on their way to a 3-1 victory Friday night at Worland High School. "We played a...
When assault with a deadly weapon is OK It’s 2017 and we’re hitting, or have passed, the timelines for a lot of futuristic ‘80s and ‘90s movies like “Blade Runner,” “Mission to Mars,” “Back to the Future I and II” and, hilariously, “Timecop,” which was made in 1994 and took place in the distant future of 2004. With the exception of “Timecop,” I’m not going to bash any of those movies for trying to predict the future. Figuring out the future is tough with endless variables going every which way. But some things you would have thought in 2017 wo...
WORLAND - For the third time in 23 years the Kyle Petty Charity Ride Across America will make its way through Wyoming. And for the first time it will make a stop in Ten Sleep. The stop is scheduled at about 9:45 a.m. on Tuesday, May 16, as part of the leg of the ride from Cody to Deadwood, South Dakota. The charity ride came through Wyoming the first time about 10 years ago going through northern Wyoming including a stop in Lovell. Four years ago in 2013, they went down through western Wyoming....
