NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks gave up large gains and finished barely higher Friday. Banks and technology companies traded higher, while stocks that pay large dividends fell thanks to a jump in bond yields. Stocks were on track for large gains early in the day as reports showed consumers in both the U.S. and China appeared to be spending more. Banks rose after JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup disclosed solid quarterly results. But the gains faded as the day wore on. Drug company stocks continued to fall and energy companies slipped. “The retail sal...
Let’s talk Trump and Clinton. No, I’m not going to endorse one or the other. That’s not my style. I know some newspapers endorse candidates but I never have. I want voters who think independently and don’t vote for a candidate because some newspaper or organization tells them to vote for a certain candidate. I also don’t endorse candidates because I want to remain unbiased in my coverage of candidates and the issues. If I come out in support of a candidate and that candidate does something wrong, unethical, immoral, illegal, then I need to h...

GILLETTE (AP) — Campbell County public schools could lose about $5.4 million in state funding because of a drop in student enrollment caused mainly by the downturn in Wyoming’s energy industry. Because state public school funding is based on a three-year rolling average of enrollment, the district won’t experience the full effects of a big drop in funding until three years from now. Campbell County school administrators say they are using that time to look at ways to save money now in preparation for future budget cuts. “We want to make su...
WORLAND - On senior night at Warrior Stadium the Worland Warrior football team needed a victory to stay in the playoff hunt but to do so they needed to take down WyoPreps 3A No. 1 ranked team and defending 3A football champions Star Valley Braves. They fought and battled all Friday night but in the end the Braves left town as the 34-0 victors, knocking the Warriors out of playoff contention. On the opening kickoff the Braves returned the ball 87 yards and would have scored a touchdown if not...
DOUGLAS - The Bearcat trial in Douglas, the site of the 3A East Regional cross-country meet, is already a tough course for cross-country runners, then when you add bad weather conditions, it can make for an even tougher challenge.

Lady Bobcat Jules Ward finished in first place and her teammates Tahja Hunt and McKenna...

Originally my column this week was going to be about the postseason and all the entertainment it brings. But after Donald Trump’s pathetic defense of comments he made during a 2005 taping of Access Hollywood, I have a few thoughts. Instead of taking accountability for his words, Trump brushes them off as basically Bro culture and chalked it up to locker room talk. This excuse is complete garbage, even coming from a human disaster like Trump. Trump’s idea of locker room talk is either, another part of his distorted reality, or comes from the... Full story
