Health care and technology stocks rose the most, helping to nudge the Standard and Poor’s 500 index back to slight gains for the week and year. Nine of the index’s 10 sectors closed higher. Stocks rose from the start of trading, following sizable gains in Europe. Among the winners, Intel climbed nearly 2 percent and Pfizer closed up 1.1 percent. Investors were spo...

The only office I’ve been elected to was the North Big Horn Senior Service District Board and unfortunately due to a move to Laramie I had to resign in mid-term. There was no campaigning that election. There were five seats and five openings. We met twice a year. For someone who never s...

    May 21, 2016

    WORLAND – Each year the Big Horn Mountains attract more and more people who want to enjoy the great outdoors and get away from the hustle and bustle of the real world.

    Alex Kuhn, Sports Editor|May 21, 2016

    WORLAND- Warriors and Lady Warriors JV soccer coaches Chris Klinghagen and Brianna Schefferly started the soccer season with a rather inexperienced group of players. But by season's end both coaches were impressed with the growth and improvement from their teams. "At the start of the season they were playing recreational soccer but by the end of the season they knew where the defense needed to slide, how to make connections on passing and make crosses the varsity could make. Their soccer IQ has...
