I woke up earlier than usual on Thursday morning. My husband was coming into the bedroom. He informed me there had been another senseless mass shooting. This time the shooting took place at a club in Thousand Oaks, California, during college country night. Twelve dead, plus the gunman - a former Marine. I got up and got ready for work and then watched some news reports of the shooting. I listened to the report of Sheriff's Sgt. Ron Helus, 29 years on the force, who rushed in with a highway...
LOVELL — If more November snow and high winds come to the Big Horn Mountains, the daily chore of keeping U.S. 14A open between Lovell and Burgess Junction may end with an earlier-than-normal seasonal closure of the highway. “We are already dealing with a major snow drifting issue on the mountain,” said Wyoming Department of Transportation maintenance foreman Jason Fleming of Lovell. “Crews from Lovell and Burgess Junction are sending trucks out every morning to plow and sand.” Fleming said a WYDOT plow truck became stuck on Nov. 3 while att...

WORLAND - Worland High School senior Karla Gayten signed her letter of intent, Thursday afternoon at Worland High School. Gayten received a two-year full-ride scholarship to play soccer at Sheridan College as well as further her academic studies. "I didn't even know Sheridan was looking at me," said Gaytan. "I just got invited to a showcase, I did the showcase and after they told me I had a full ride if I wanted it. It was kind of a surprise and I didn't know how to react. I still don't know...
During my fall sports postseason break, I was tempted to write about Oakland Raiders coach Jon Gruden. I was patient though because let's be honest, this is Jon Gruden and he's going to, at minimum, say one dumb thing a week. And he didn't disappoint this week. The Raiders play the AFC's second-best team, the L.A. Chargers, this week. The last time the AFC West rivals matched up, the Chargers dominated the Raiders 26-10, in that soccer stadium in Carson, Calif. Getting ready for LA this week Gru...
