NEW YORK (AP) — Holding photos and reading names of loved ones lost 16 years ago, 9/11 victims’ relatives marked the anniversary of the attacks at ground zero on Monday with a solemn and personal ceremony. Every Sept. 11 since the date of the deadliest terror attack on American soil, Rob Fazio has come to the place where his father, Ronald Carl Fazio, and thousands of others died. “I’ll come every year for the rest of my life,” the son said. “It’s where I get my strength.” Thousands of family members, survivors, rescuers others gathered for th...
I’ve mentioned in earlier columns that I delivered the Northern Wyoming Daily News for four years. That period began on June 1, 1956 (when I was 12 and headed into the eighth grade) and ended on June 1, 1960. For some reason I recently started thinking about June 1, 1956, and trying to remember how things were different back then. Then I realized that the best record of that difference was the paper I delivered the morning of the initial day of June, 1956. So, I went to the local library and reviewed in detail the microfilm version of the p...
WORLAND – The Wyoming Sugar Company celebrated their 100-year anniversary Saturday with a free community barbecue at the factory which was attended by about 475 people including United States Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyoming). On December 9, 1919, the Wyoming Sugar Company gave a banquet for their farmers, much like the barbecue held Saturday, with the exception that the barbecue was for the entire community, not just the farmers. During that banquet Worland Councilman [Alderman] J.A. Howell s...
WORLAND — In advance of a county project to remove a sediment bar from the Big Horn River, the Washakie County Commission will open bids today at 10 a.m., before awarding the project. The estimated 1.3 acres of sand and sediment in question has been the catalyst for ice jams and flooding along the river as it runs through Worland, growing steadily over the last three years. An initial survey of the mass estimated over 18,700 cubic yards of material had built up, at a depth of five feet. Previously, the commission contacted the Wyoming Bureau of...
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A Utah high school teacher has been placed on administrative leave for assigning students a questionnaire that asked about their sex lives, whether they’d used drugs or alcohol or had abortions and scored their answers to rate them as a “nerd,” ‘’indecent” or “hopeless and condemned,” district officials said Monday. The 30-question survey was given to juniors in recent weeks at Roy High School, about 30 miles (48 kilometers) north of Salt Lake City, as part of an “Adult Roles” course that teaches students about human...
CHEYENNE — Needing repair and replacement of failing materials, the Wyoming Capitol dome will be covered with scaffolding and a white scaffold covering until mid-2019 as part of the ongoing renovation work on the Capitol. The dome scaffolding will start to be installed this week. The scaffolding installation will take between eight and 10 weeks and will cover the dome and the drum (the area just below the dome). Once the scaffolding installation is complete, the scaffolding will be covered with a white covering to help facilitate the repairs a...
WORLAND - The Worland High School girls swimming team put together another strong weekend with excellent performances in their Friday home meet, the Worland Triangular, and at the Powell Invite on Saturday. During the Worland Triangular, Worland won 7 of 12 events that included a clean sweep of all three relay races. "The girls had a fantastic meet (Friday)," said WHS girls swimming coach Mike Blissett. "We also closed the gap with Powell from the Cody meet, they only had us by 16 points." The L...
