WORLAND – For many people the thought of visiting Israel creates two distinct feelings, yearning and fear; yearning to visit the places that they have read about in the Bible and fear because of the unrest in that area. For pastor and Representative Nathan Winters, R – Thermopolis and his wife Christie the yearning was stronger than the fear and while there, they never felt the fear. "Israel, while I was there, even though there were times in the news where there had been violence reported, it...
CHEYENNE — On Thursday, President Obama signed into law the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), passed Wednesday by Congress, which overhauls No Child Left Behind testing requirements and ends federal incentives that impose Common Core standards on states.

Whenever there is a trial in a community, such as we had this week in Worland, there’s always talk about being selected for jury duty. We had several conversations about jury duty in our office this week, starting with the fact one of our co-workers was in the initial jury pool, but not ultimately selected. At the end of this week’s trial, Wyoming Fifth Judicial District Court Judge Robert Skar said, “I want to thank you for performing one of the most important tasks that you have as a citizen of the United States.” Jury duty, of which I can’t...
LARAMIE – University of Wyoming sophomore guard Liv Roberts loves to play defense. How much? So much that UW women's basketball coach Joe Legerski said he has had to curtail some of Roberts' practice minutes because she competes so hard it wears her out for games. That's unconditional love. "If I got to choose playing one (offense or defense), it would be playing defense," Roberts said. "I enjoy the physicality of it, and probably sometimes too much right now with the fouls lately. "I put a lot...
CHEYENNE – The University of Wyoming announced Thursday that three football players won’t return next season: junior defensive tackle Uso Olive, junior walk-on linebacker Will Tutein – a Cheyenne Central graduate – and true freshman walk-on kicker Tristan Bailey. A release from UW stated all three won’t return for “personal reasons.” The release also said coach Craig Bohl and UW’s athletics department would have no further comment. However, Tutein had a different story to tell about why he won’t be back. “It was not my decision to not come back...
