WORLAND - Entering the 2016 volleyball season Worland was the reigning 3A champions and a favorite to bring home another state title. All season long the Lady Warriors fought off challengers and in a tough 3A East West Quadrant finished second by way of a coin toss. After a 3-0 semifinal loss, 25-14, 25-18, 25-13, to Douglas at the 3A regional tournament in Rawlins, Worland bounced back by defeating Torrington 3-0, 25-14, 25-8, 25-12 to qualify for the state tournament.

In five days we’ll be gathered around the dining table and eating turkey or ham or whatever your favorite meal is for Thanksgiving. I wonder, with the mood of our country is in, how many people will stop and count their blessings. Even if things are tough or not perfect in your life I believe everyone can find at least one thing to be thankful for. I am thankful for a lot of things. I am thankful I am married to a wonderful man who looks upon our marriage as a partnership and helps with the household chores and who is a wonderful cook who will...
TEN SLEEP – “Music has always come natural to me,” said Lacy Nelson from her home in Ten Sleep. “Some people are naturally good with horses, some are natural writers, I guess I’ve always had music.” On her family’s ranch in the Nowood valley, Nelson learned piano before she even started school, playing it all through her childhood, until discovering the guitar in her teens. Alongside her brother, JD Nelson, on banjo, the Washakie County musician lends her voice to a broad range of country-folk classics, while developing her own style and ven...

There was an update that we had sent that out to contractors to have them look at that and we are hoping to be able to get a grant of some kind,” Banne...
LARAMIE (AP) — Even as the University of Wyoming grapples with more than $40 million in budget cuts, President Laurie Nichols said she still holds out hope of offering pay raises to faculty and staff next year. “I cannot tell you that I have successfully achieved this yet until we get deeper into this budget,” Nichols told the UW Board of Trustees on Thursday. “But certainly I’m working toward that. I haven’t given up trying to get that accomplished as well.” Nichols said there will be no pay raise this year. The state’s only public, four-year...
WASHINGTON (AP) — States that voted for Hillary Clinton in last week’s presidential election reported stronger job growth in the previous year than states that supported Donald Trump, according to data released by the Labor Department Friday. Large cities in states where voters were more likely to support Trump also lagged in job growth, a separate analysis by Jed Kolko, chief economist at Indeed, a job search website, also found. The figures add credence to the idea that economic concerns contributed to Trump’s unexpected victory. Eleve...
CHEYENNE — Elk in Wyoming might be on the move this weekend if a blast of winter weather causes them to migrate to lower elevation habitats. For those hunting in Elk Hunt Area 49 in the southwest portion of the Bighorn Mountains, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department needs your help. Many elk hunters in this area have collected blood samples from harvested elk in the past, and Game and Fish is asking for hunters’ continued support with blood collections. In 2012, brucellosis was discovered in elk of the northern Bighorn Mountains. Since tha...
