A man simply walking his little dog around the high school becomes a nefarious villain aiming to shoot students when looked through the lens of paranoid fear. Social media, admittedly the fastest way to...
I have several little children in my house and we enjoy our evening reading time together. One of our favorite books right now is called “It Could’ve Been Worse,” by A.H. Benjamin and Tim Warnes. The book is about a little mouse who is returning home to his mother, after a day out exploring. On the way home he encounters some trouble. Each time he is faced with a situation he grumbles and complains “why me?” What little mouse is unaware of, is that each of these seven situations he faces throughout the book, could have been much worse for...

While a majority of the winter sports have started practices already, the indoor track team won’t be seeing any action until Jan. 4, 2016, when practice begins. Head coach Steve Boyd said indoor track traditionally has been a training opportunity for athletes interested in outdoor track during the spring sports season. Boyd said many soccer players participate so they can start to build endurance for soccer. However, since indoor track became a sanctioned sport six years ago, Boyd said it has b...
More than a week into practices, head coach Colleen Seiloff is happy with where Green River High School's boys swimming team has started their season. With 14 returning swimmers, she sees their first competition in GIllette Friday as a fun way to start the season. "We chose to go to that particular meet," Seiloff said.

This year, they intend to take the victory. To end the season as state champions is their goal this year. "They're working pretty hard. I think they're pretty focused on our goal," GRHS wrestling coach Marshell Rhodes said. "If we work hard and improve, then I think we have a chance. They realize that, they're focused on...
