  • Karla's Kolumn: Remember It's Just A Game

    Karla Pomeroy, Editor|Sep 9, 2017

    Football season is here. One of my favorite times of the year. I love watching college football and the NFL. But, no matter how many games I watch and no matter how my favorite teams do, I remember it’s just a game. It’s a game where players and coaches are trying their best. They all have one goal in mind – to win. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. It’s no excuse to berate or belittle players or coaches. One Texas A&M fan, so angered at the Aggies colossal collapse of a 34-point lead last weekend, wrote a hate-filled, racial le...

    WASHINGTON (AP) — The House voted overwhelmingly on Friday to send a $15.3 billion disaster aid package to President Donald Trump, overcoming conservative objections to linking the emergency legislation to a temporary increase in America’s borrowing authority. The legislation also keeps the government funded into December.

  • The weight of a thank you

    Marcus Huff, Staff Writer|Sep 9, 2017

    WORLAND – "If you want to receive, first you have to give," noted author and speaker V.J. Smith on Friday, during a speech to Worland High School students in the Worland Middle School auditorium. For an hour, students sat transfixed on Smith's stories of appreciation through kindness, with a focus on using "thank you" as a way to validate others. A 1978 graduate of South Dakota State University, Smith spent the 1980s working for the Allied Signal Aerospace Company in Kansas City, Missouri. He r...

    Alex Kuhn, Sports Editor|Sep 9, 2017

    Previously on "The most courageous 2017-18 NFL season predictions" I made predictions for the 16 NFC teams, next up the AFC and playoffs predictions. And now the conclusion to "The most courageous 2017-18 NFL season predictions" AFC EAST BUFFALO BILLS If you can figure out the Bills front office plan send a resumé into ESPN or FS1 because even the NFL insider experts are at a loss for words.

    Alex Kuhn, Sports Editor|Sep 9, 2017

    WORLAND — Miscues in the first half cost the Worland High School football team Friday night as they hosted the Buffalo Bison at Worland High School. The No. 5-ranked Bison (2-0) used the first half to go up 17-0 and never look back from there as they defeated the Warriors (1-1) 24-12. “That first half [Buffalo] had some big runs and showcased their speed. For us it was our mental mistakes not getting to our gaps and sticking to our assignments. Like we tell the guys, a guy can be the fas...
