EPPING, N.H. (AP) — Police say two employees at a New Hampshire Burger King have been arrested on drug charges after authorities were tipped off that drive-thru customers who asked for extra crispy fries got marijuana with their meal. NH1 reports Epping Police Chief Mike Wallace said 20-year-old Garrett Norris was arrested Saturday after police conducted a sting operation. Also arrested was 19-year-old Meagan Dearborn, the shift manager. Wallace said drive-thru buyers would ask for “Nasty Boy,” then for extra crispy fries. Wallace said the d...
(AP) — Antelope injured while falling on ice. Horses stranded in snowy mountains. Cougars descending from their wilderness lairs to forage in a town. It’s been a beastly winter in the American West, not just for people but for animals too. One storm after another has buried much of the region in snow, and temperatures have often stayed below freezing, endangering a rich diversity of wild animals. In southern Idaho, about 500 pronghorn antelope tried to cross the frozen Snake River earlier this month at Lake Walcott, but part of the herd spo...

Everyone’s talking about the first full week of the Trump Administration, but are you paying attention to what’s happening here in Worland and in Cheyenne. Did you know — that the Worland school board voted Monday to no longer pay for the first meal out for athletic and other extracurricular activities? When I first saw it on the agenda I was surprised that they were actually paying for that first meal. When I attended Hot Springs County High School (yes a few years back) we as students were always responsible for that first meal, wheth...
WORLAND – Worland residents Leonard and Frances Larsen have been named this year's "Community Angels" and will be honored at an 11: 30 a.m. luncheon Feb. 11 at the Worland Community Center Complex during the Women's Expo. The couple received this honor for all the volunteer work they do for the community, family and friends. The couple stated, "I don't think that we are deserving, not at all. There are a lot of others that do more than we do. It's a really nice honor but we're kind of feeling u...
CHEYENNE — A House Joint Resolution that would eventually call for a constitutional convention narrowly passed out of the House Judiciary Committee earlier this week. Committee Vice Chairman Rep. Nathan Winters (R-Thermopolis) was excited about the passage. He was one of five legislators voting in favor of the bill in committee, with four opposed. Winters said former U.S. Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma flew in to Wyoming to speak to the committee regarding the resolution. “This has broad, powerful support. This actually is a very big bill thi...
WORLAND - The Worland boys basketball team wanted to be the team to hit first against the Buffalo Bison Friday night at Worland High School. And the Warriors did just that.
