The major U.S. stock indexes closed mostly lower Friday, capping a day spent wavering between small gains and losses. Phone companies were the biggest drag on the market following reports that AT&T was considering a deal to acquire the media conglomerate Time Warner. AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile US all fell. Health care and energy stocks also took some losses, while consumer staples and technology companies held on to slight gains. Investors continued to focus on corporate America, reviewing earnings from General Electric, McDonald’s and...
WORLAND — The Worland High School Black Thunder marching band got an excellent rating (the second highest rating possible) at the Wyoming State Marching Band competition in Casper last Saturday. This is the second year the band received an excellent rating. They broke into the top tier in 2014 with a superior rating. Director Willie Wright said the brass section and the color guard each received a caption award, which means they received a score better than 90 percent. He said the trombone section was awarded a Trooper Award for hard work a...
If you could travel back in time would you? Where would you go? Back to what time? Right now I bet we’re all thinking we’d go back a year or two and change who decided to run for president. We’re thinking what if the Republicans put up just one highly qualified, intelligent candidate instead of 19, and we’re thinking what if Joe Biden or Elizabeth Warren hadn’t turned down the opportunity to run for the Democratic nomination. But that would take changing quite a bit of history. I love time travel stories, whether in books, movies, TV shows, or...
WORLAND — A grateful father is seeking the identity of a good Samaritan who helped his son last month. Paul Geiger of Yonkers, New York, said he has been able to thank everyone who assisted and aided his son, after his son was severely injured in a motorcycle crash Aug. 11, except for the person who initially stopped. Geiger said according to the crash report he obtained from the Wyoming Highway Patrol, on Thursday, Aug. 11, 2016, at about 6:20 p.m., lone motorcyclist, Ken Geiger, 50, (a lieutenant with the Yonkers, N.Y. Fire Dept.) was i...
WORLAND — Little feedback on proposed cuts at the University of Wyoming is “not a bad thing,” according to a local trustee. David Bostrom, a UW trustee whose term ends in 2019, said that while he has not received direct feedback on either the proposed cuts of 16 degree programs or the budget reduction plan outlined last week, he feels that shows the Wyoming residents have confidence in the trustees. “What it says is that the people around the state have confidence, and maybe even faith in what the university is doing, what the state is doing a...
WORLAND - A mistrial/request for retrial hearing in the case of Stephanie Anderson versus Edward M. Zimmerman concluded early Friday morning, with Fifth Judicial District Court Judge Robert Skar denying the plaintiff’s request, based on Wyoming case law, upheld by the Wyoming Supreme Court. Attorneys for Anderson had requested a new trial due to a claim of juror misconduct in the original trial, which concluded on Aug. 12 of this year, with the jury finding Zimmerman was not at fault for the death of Kevin Anderson of Worland in 2013. On S...
CHEYENNE (AP) — Tension mounted in a U.S. House race debate Thursday as Democrat Ryan Greene and Republican Liz Cheney traded a series of increasingly hostile barbs and even accused one another of relying on their parents to secure jobs for them. Cheney suggested that Greene, who works in his family’s oilfield services company, is out of touch with the hard times encountered by recently laid-off Wyoming coal miners. “Not everybody in our state has the job security of being able to work in their parents’ company for their whole career, like my o...
The MLB postseason is in full swing, The-Team-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named is one win away from the World Series, and for fall high school sports, the postseason is already here or a week away. The regular season is a long methodical march where teams iron out the wrinkles and establish an identity. In the postseason everyone knows who they and the other teams are so it becomes a mad and chaotic dash to the finish line. It’s what makes the postseason so much fun whether you’re a purist or a casual fa...
GREEN RIVER - In their final football game of the 2016 season the Worland Warriors (3-5) got off to a rough start against Green River (7-1), yet never gave in as they battled to the bitter end and were able to cut into the Wolves lead before losing 48-24. The first half went poorly for the Warriors as the offense had a difficult time moving the chains and two turnovers led to Green River points. The Warriors defense also struggled to contain the Wolves offense who scored 42 unanswered points to...
RAWLINS - In the final regular season match the Worland Lady Warriors traveled to Rawlins in a showdown with the Lady Outlaws. Worland fell 3-1 but each game won by Rawlins was decided by two points. "We just played a step behind," said WHS volleyball coach Brittany Miller. "We didn't take care of details that we need to take care of and didn't have the effort there to put away sets against Rawlins." The Lady Outlaws led for most of game one but a small spurt by the Lady Warriors allowed them...
