Cody library cafe continuing to lose money

BY CJ BAKER Tribune Editor

P

ark County Commissioner Joe Tilden posed a question to county library leaders last month: “What’s more important to you, buying new books or keeping the Bistro open?”

Tilden was referring to the Cody library’s Biblio Bistro. The county-owned and -operated cafe sells sandwiches, soups, coffee, smoothies and other foods

SINCE OPENING IN 2008, LOSSES AT COUNTYOWNED BIBLIO BISTRO HAVE TOPPED $320,000 and beverages while serving as a public meeting place.

It’s also heavily subsidized.

Preliminary budget documents show that, from last July through May, the Bistro lost nearly $46,300. The figures mean the restaurant brought in an average of about $200 per day in sales — only cover-

ing about half of its expenses.

In the next fiscal year, which started Saturday, library officials project the Biblio Bistro will again run in the red and cost the county $49,556. The losses will continue to be absorbed as part of the Park County Library System’s overall budget.

“I’m just pointing out that, if you have

deficiencies in other areas, there’s some money there that could be had,” Tilden said of the Bistro during a June 20 discussion of the budget, adding, “It’s a wonderful thing, but it’s an amenity.”

“But then so is a library, in a sense,” responded Park County Library System Director Frances Clymer. “It’s a public service; it’s a public utility that serves people from every walk of life — man, See Bistro, Page 3

BY DON COGGER Tribune Staff Writer

t was on a recent trip abroad when Craig Johnson — author of the popular “Longmire” series of books and the television series it spawned — realized first-hand just how far-reaching his fictional Wyoming sheriff’s popularity had become.

“I remember getting into a taxicab in Prague in the Czech Republic, and I had ‘What’s fun my cowboy hat on,” Johnson recalled. about this is, “The taxicab driver Park County turned around and at me and and Cody and looked said, ‘Longmire!’

Groups challenge U.S. plan to lift grizzly protections

BY KEITH RIDLER Associated Press

A

t least three different legal challenges were launched Friday against the U.S. government’s decision to lift protections for grizzly bears in the Yellowstone National Park area that have been in place for more than 40 years.

The Northern Cheyenne Tribe, Center for Biological Diversity, The Humane Society, and WildEarth Guardians are among those challenging the plan to lift restrictions this summer.

“The rule removing federal protections for America’s beloved Yellowstone grizzly bears is a political decision that is deeply flawed,” said Andrea Santarsiere, a senior attorney with the Center for Biological Diversity.

The federal government announced last month its plan to lift grizzly bear protections and made it official Friday by filing its decision in the Federal Register. That prompted the various groups to send 60day notices of their intent to sue the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, a required step in the legal process.

Some of the groups say the decision is wrong because it only involves Yellowstone See Grizzlies, Page 3

Army platoon gathers for 50th reunion of their fiercest battle

BY DON COGGER Tribune Staff Writer

S

ituated near Ap Bac Village in the Long An Province of Vietnam, the soldiers of Alpha Company, 4th Battalion, 47th Infantry were slogging through a couple hundred yards of open rice paddies when they stumbled into chaos. It was the day after Father’s Day, June 19, 1967.

“Alpha Company walked into a batallion-sized ambush,” said Powell resident and Army veteran Jim Heller. “In the first 10 minutes, 95 percent of them were killed. That is a huge, huge loss.”

Lieutenant Heller and his fellow soldiers in Bravo Company, 4th Battalion, were the closest to Alpha Company’s position and scrambled to provide support. Nicknamed the “Tornados” — in honor of platoon Sergeant Johnny “Tornado” Jones — the men knew every minute counted.

“We were fortunate in that we were attacking a known position,” Heller said. “We knew they were there. Alpha Company didn’t; they walked right into an ambush that was prepared for the entire battalion, not just one company,” Heller explained.

Whereas a company might be made up of 80-250 soldiers, an Army battalion can consist of between 300 to 1,200 soldiers.

“We spent a lot of time evacuating the wounded, going out into rice paddies and getting shot doing that,” Heller said.

During the three-day battle, 47 American soldiers were killed, including one from Heller’s company, Ronald “Chili” Saiz.

“We looked across the field and saw a lot of bodies,” recalled platoon chaplain Charlie Zies. “A jet came in to drop a bomb. The bomb dropped, but the pilot had been blown up in the blast. Then a helicopter came in to pick up the wounded; the second he-

licopter came in and was shot down.”

Zies was carrying ammunition for Saiz, an assistant machine gunner, and followed him to a clump of palm trees.

“As Chili went through the other end of the tree line, he was shot,” Zies recalled. “He fell and I said, ‘Crawl back to me.’ He said, ‘Charlie, Char-

lie, hold my hand.’ I held his hand, his body started quivering and then he died. I yelled for a medic and one ran across the field.”

Nearly every member of Heller’s platoon was wounded in the battle, including Heller himself.

“When I got hit, I had just gotten back to the chopper with some of

the wounded,” he said. “There was a huge explosion, an artillery round probably, and I woke up back here in the states about three weeks later.”

The scar on his face, a wound that required more than 500 field stitches, is Heller’s legacy; a reminder of the men lost and wounded and the reverberation of war.

“It’s what happens, unfortunately,” Heller said. “You play a dangerous See Platoon, Page 2

There are consequences.�

This past June 19 marked the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Ap Bac. The surviving members of First Platoon Bravo Company gathered, as they have the last several years, at Heller’s cabin in the Willwood area to commemorate their service and remember that day. They also gathered to renew and refresh the bond they share with one another as a true band of brothers, one that began for many of them during basic training.

Most of the Tornados were drafted in May 1966 and went through basic training in Ft. Riley, Kansas. The men then began Advanced Infantry Training, a highly specialized program for their operational designation — the Mekong Delta in southern Vietnam.

They received their orders in December ’66 and departed in January 1967. “Thanks to Tornado Jones, these guys were ready,� Heller said. “They had become highly proficient in group and individual tactics. They came to know each other. ... They developed a deep caring for each other and their mission.�

Most of the attendees arrived the weekend of Father’s Day, and they gathered at the Irma Hotel Sunday night in Cody for a reunion dinner. “After dinner, each guy stood up and said a few words; it was a memorable experience,� Heller said. “We’re all so close; these are brothers.

Shakespeare said it best: ‘For he today that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother.’ That’s what these guys represent to each other. I’ve never had a bond like I have with these people.�

The 12 members of the Tornados

The men of 1st Platoon Bravo Company, 4/47 9th Infantry Division, the ‘Tornados,’ gather at the Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial in Cody earlier this month.

Heller said. “Out there at my place on the Willwood where things were quiet, there were no agendas, no one had to go anywhere for food. We had great food, great company; it was just wonderful. We don’t sit around and tell war stories, we just celebrate each other and the fact that it’s great to be alive.�

Heller paused for a moment, gathering his thoughts before he continued. “One thing that we found out over there, and what we didn’t realize until years later, was what a friend was,� he said. “A friend is a person that would be standing by your side, even if he knew it was going to cost him his life.

budget meeting, French said his comments about improved numbers were based on comments from library leaders. “They’re going to have to get better or there’s going to be drastic changes or shut it down — one or the other,� he said of the figures.

However, French also noted that, viewed another way, the library system and county government as a whole are also money-losing operations — providing services that are not offset by revenue. “The feedback I get, the public really likes it [the Biblio Bistro], so they’re willing to support it with their property taxes and their sales taxes; they’re willing to support that loss,� French said. “You know, it’s all in how you’re looking at it.�

At the June 20 meeting, commissioner Grosskopf wondered if a partnership with Northwest College to offer culinary classes in the Bistro’s kitchen could be revived, perhaps bringing in some revenue to narrow the deficit. Several years ago, commissioners questioned whether the Biblio Bistro could be privatized, but Clymer said many library cafes leased out to private operators have failed within months.

Park County Library Board Member Greg Bevenger suggested the county consider providing extra funding for the Bistro, so the losses don’t have to be covered by the library system’s budget alone. “That facility serves more than just something at the library. I mean, there’s a lot of people that go up there just to have a quiet place to talk business or other kinds of things,�

Bevenger said.

He said library leaders are in a bit of a quandary: not wanting to compete with local businesses while also trying to support the Bistro. Bevenger also noted the negative consequences of closing the cafe, including laying off the staffers — composed of a full-time manager and four part-time/on-call positions.

Grosskopf suggested there was an in-between option, where the Bistro could perhaps stop selling fully prepared meals and offer simpler and less labor-intensive fare like crackers, cookies and baked goods. “Definitely, I like the Bistro, no doubt about it, but there are other options,� Grosskopf said. “I don’t think it would be the same, though,� Bevenger replied later.

The Park County Library System’s overall proposed budget is $1.66 million. The county’s overall budget, which will likely be revised until it’s finalized this month, is currently estimated at $23.39 million.

The answer, as most serious walkers know, is that health walking is about as closely related to walking as swimming is to dog-paddling in a pool. There’s more to it than walking to the mailbox.

About 67 million men and women are walking regularly, and podiatrists are delighted. Besides being healthy for feet and involving fewer injuries than jogging, walking has many potential benefits-- reduced blood pressure, stress and arthritis pain, to name a few.

Melissa is approaching her exercise goal the right way, by realizing that a fitness program won’t be any fun-- much less possible- unless her feet are in good shape. She’ll get some pointers about warm-up exercises: pacing her gradual buildup to a regular walking routine; and another important aspect of walking programs in which podiatric physicians specialize, proper foot wear.

Powell Tribune IN OUR OPINION

New laws take effect NEXT SESSION, LEGISLATORS MUST FOCUS ON BUDGET — NOT OTHER BILLS The start of July is often filled with Independence Day festivities, as it should be. But something else happened July 1: Dozens of new laws took effect in Wyoming.

Here’s a quick look at several state laws that started Saturday: • School districts can allow employees to carry concealed firearms on school property. An employee must have a valid concealed carry permit and receive approval from the district.

We’re glad state lawmakers are letting local school boards make that decision, rather than requiring all campuses to allow or prohibit guns. A rural district in an isolated area may want employees to carry firearms, but others may choose to keep their campuses entirely gunfree.

• It is now against the law to collect antlers or horns on private property without permission. Of course, that remains true for hunting, fishing or trapping on private land.

• It is now a misdemeanor if you knowingly misrepresent a dog as a service animal. Unfortunately, people have taken pets into businesses or public facilities by pretending they’re service or assistance animals.

“This bill was made in an effort to try to protect those that truly do need protection, and try to deter those who don’t,” said Rep. Landon Brown, R-Cheyenne, in a Wyoming Tribune-Eagle article.

• People convicted of violent felony crimes can now own and use antique, muzzle-loading firearms. Previously, anyone convicted of a violent felony — such as murder, rape, aggravated assault or robbery — could not possess or use “any firearm.” Under the new law, felons can own and shoot muzzle-loading rifles, shotguns or pistols that are designed to use black powder and are unable to use fixed ammunition.

• August is now Agent Orange Health Awareness Month in Wyoming. The goal is for communities, schools and organizations to host programs to encourage Vietnam War veterans and their children to seek health screenings.

• Doctors who perform abortions must inform the patients of the opportunity to view an active ultrasound image and hear the fetal heartbeat. There are some exceptions, such as in cases of medical emergencies.

• All school districts are required to have property insurance for buildings they own or maintain. This may seem like a no-brainer, but we have heard of at least one school district in Wyoming — not locally — that did not insure all of its facilities.

Those are just a few of the new laws that took effect this week. Of course, Wyoming lawmakers considered many more bills that never made it out of the 2017 legislative session. At the start of the general session in January, 485 bills and resolutions were numbered for introduction. Considering the session only lasted 37 days, that put legislators on pace for 13 bills per day, if all of them were debated.

While the Legislature’s 2018 session is still months away, we hope lawmakers truly focus on the budget and consider how to fund K-12 education and other crucial services in Wyoming. Since it is a budget session, it only makes sense for that to be the overriding concern.

However, the last time legislators tackled the overall budget, wide-ranging bills were considered. At the start of the 2016 budget session, lawmakers introduced 279 bills and resolutions. Yes, that’s fewer than a general session, but some had nothing to do with the budget — fireworks, homemade beverages and a state shrub, to name a few.

(If you’re wondering, the Wyoming Big Sagebrush is the official state shrub.)

Lawmakers will only meet for about 20 days for the budget session, which begins in February. With shortfalls in the hundreds of millions of dollars, lawmakers must pack a lot of serious budget discussions in that brief time frame.

Much at stake as lawmakers examine education

G

reetings, Wyoming.

Having attended legislative committee meetings, educator trainings, and community events these past several weeks, I felt it was time to update you on school funding and another topic I have been working on since being elected.

SCHOOL FUNDING Pick up a Wyoming newspaper these days and chances are good that you will read about the dire education funding crisis. We face a cumulative shortfall of over $1.5 billion in our school operations account and roughly $500 million in our school construction account through the year 2022. The Legislature is charged with solving this funding conundrum, but both the executive and judicial branches have and will continue to weigh in on the topic. In January, I recommended to the Legislature a list of efficiencies, savings, and reductions that could be immediately realized. The Legislature concurred with most and codified the recommendations during the 2017 session. Their work during the session was very challenging and continues to be to this day — I am thankful for their willingness to serve Wyoming in these tough times.

What is most important in all of this? It’s pretty simple, really: We stay focused on

keeping our current basket of Wyoming’s future. Without goods means taxes are proba strong public education able.

This summer we are working together with the Legislature to better utilize the Guard’s Wyoming Cowboy Challenge Academy program, which catches at-risk youth and gets them back on track. It is an amazing program, but there are some education policy obstacles that need to be removed before we can optimize this resource. We are also working on options with our teacher licensing board and the Legislature to better accommodate military families and military spouses in the education profession. Lastly, we are working to include Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) scores in our statewide accountability model, along with current state assessments and the ACT, as one more way to measure postsecondary readiness. All in all, I am proud of the work we have accomplished on this topic and believe it will help all children find their best path after high school, whether that be to college, workforce training, the workforce, or the military.

Enjoy the dog days of summer — they will be gone before we know it!

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Captive breeding should be a win for sage grouse Dear Editor: I applaud the 2017 State Legislature for passing House Bill 217. I think it is way overdue, but realize quality work takes time to happen.

I am a former oil rig worker who has been laid off because sage grouse were starting the mating season. I find it very disappointing that the Wyoming Game and Fish wouldn’t make egg collection happen in 2017, one year wasted. Let’s hope the time wasted in 2017 will result in a quality job done in 2018.

Sage grouse are a native bird, unique and beautiful. They are similar to any farmer’s sitting hen in that, if you collect all the eggs each day, they will keep laying to at least 60 eggs per hen. If allowed to sit, they will stop at a full nest — six to 10 eggs. If two eggs are collected

from each nest four days into the nesting time of the sage grouse in the lek to be collected from, and they are collected two hours pre-sunup, the hens will probably return to their nest as soon as the sun comes up or during the dusk time frame, thus keeping the remaining eggs warm. That means the egg gatherers need to get two eggs from five nests in each lek to be collected from a total of 25 different leks, preferably in 25 locations a few miles apart. The greater the distance, the better.

To do this, if the National Guard is willing to use their night vision infrared head gear and supply 25 guardsman to 25 teams, the bird farm and the 25 Wyoming Game and Fish people could make up two-person teams.

The guardsmen would wear their headgear and the other people would wear black light headlights, a spectrum game birds can’t see. The guardsmen would carry a small cooler with a hot water bottle five degrees

warmer than the sage grouse hen’s body temperature. They would also locate the warmbodied hen with infrared; the other person would gather the two eggs and put them in the empty egg carton in the cooler.

If communication is necessary, it would need to be a low whisper. Get the eggs, get out of the lek as soon as possible, then open the cooler and then color-code the eggs with a felttip marker assigned to that lek. The eggs would need to be driven to the game bird farm as soon as possible so they don’t get chilled. They would then go into the incubator and then the hatcher, taking care that the chicks can’t mix with other chicks from other leks until a lek-identifying leg band could be installed.

Once this is done, they could be put into two separate brooder barns; one-half of the hatched chicks from each lek in one barn and the rest in the other.

Before they are old enough to mate, they would be separated

by sex; the males put with the females from another lek that is separated geographically. This would ensure that no inbreeding could happen. Any bird released from stock could be non-related to the lek they are released in.

If a new lek is started, a genetically varied batch of birds could be released.

Within two years, 250 collected eggs could result in 117,180 to 232,500 eggs from captive hens.

As you can see, captive breeding sage grouse will limit any threat that the sage will become extinct. Habitat improvement can’t make that claim. I feel all sides need to work together and not just insist on their way only point of view. By doing that, habitat can be improved while oil workers work year-round and ranchers ranch year-round. The winner: the sage grouse.

Keith said. Catfish can live to be several decades old.

The previous state record for channel catfish was set on April 27, 2005, by another Rock Springs angler, Don Ackerman, also in Flaming Gorge Reservoir. That catfish weighed 27.99 pounds.

Cosby said his record-breaker “was full of crayfish and what looked like eggs or bugs.”

He caught the giant fish around 1 p.m. in warm, shallow water using sucker meat on a 6-pound test fishing line.

“I have fished a lot in Alabama where I lived and I’ve fished the Gorge for big lake trout and kokanee salmon, but never for catfish,” Cosby said. “I feel like I must be the luckiest person.”

He planned to eat his winning catch.

Utility proceeds with big wind investment

C

HEYENNE (AP) — President Donald Trump’s efforts to roll back coal and climate-change regulations aren’t discouraging a utility from making a $3.5 billion investment in wind energy — the bulk of which will build dozens of new wind turbines in Wyoming, the top coalproducing state.

Rocky Mountain Power is ready to present its detailed wind plan to regulators in Wyoming, Utah and Idaho, utility officials announced Thursday.

The plan includes building new power lines and putting longer blades on existing wind turbines so they can generate electricity in slower winds. But the biggest part will be building new turbines in Wyoming.

Rocky Mountain Power, which serves more than 1 million cus-

tomers in the three states — including around Powell and the Big Horn Basin — plans to seek proposals for new wind turbine projects in Wyoming in the months ahead.

“These investments will provide significant long-term benefits to our customers and bring substantial economic benefits to rural communities where the facilities will be located,” Rocky Mountain Power Chief Executive Officer Cindy Crane said.

The new turbines will generate up to 1,270 megawatts. Calculating how many homes that will serve is challenging because the wind doesn’t blow all the time, but a rough estimate is 190,000, said Rocky Mountain Power spokesman David Eskelsen.

The Salt Lake City-based utility, a subsidiary of Portland, Oregon-based PacifiCorp, plans to get to work quickly before a federal tax credit for wind power

begins to ramp down in 2020.

Wyoming, especially, has welcomed Trump’s recent moves to lift a moratorium on federal coal leasing, reconsider climatechange regulations and back off an international climate-change accord. The state supplies about 40 percent of the nation’s coal.

The U.S. coal industry in 2016 slogged through its worst year since the 1970s as utilities continued to prefer cheaper, cleanerburning natural gas to generate electricity. Mines in the Powder River Basin of northern Wyoming and southern Montana laid off hundreds of workers.

Trump, who won Wyoming by a more than 46-point margin, has reinvigorated the hopes of many in the state. But long-term economic trends factor into Rocky Mountain Power’s planning much more than the policies of any given administration, according to Eskelsen.

PAVEMENT PROJECT TO START SOUTH OF CODY A Worland contractor is scheduled to begin an 11-mile pavement rehabilitation project south of Cody on Wyo. Highway 120 on Thursday.

The project begins at milepost 62.98 on Wyoming 120, about 18 miles south of Cody, and extends 11.2 miles toward Cody. The work includes an inch of asphalt pavement leveling, a 2-inch asphalt overlay, a chip-seal finish, and minor slope flattening along the shoulder of the highway between Cody and Meeteetse.

Prime contractor on the $3.6 million project is McGarvin-Moberly Construction Co. of Worland.

Think you caught a record fish? Check the list of records to see if your catch might be a contender. If so, submit an Official Wyoming State Fish Record Application.

Applications and more information on state records may be found at: https://wgfd.wyo.gov/Fishing-and-Boating/State-Record-Fish Anglers who want to submit a state record fish need to follow these rules: • Fish must be weighed on a certified scale for legal trade. Most post offices or places of commerce are typically certified.

• Fish must be caught on a rod, reel and line or pole and not snagged. It also must be taken legally, according to department regulations.

• Fish caught from private clubs or hatchery waters, or ponds not accessible for the public, are ineligible.

• The species must be verified by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department.

Have a Safe and Happy 4th!

Slope-flattening work is set to start Thursday and continue into mid-August, said Wyoming Department of Transportation resident engineer Todd Frost of Cody. Work will shut down from Aug. 19-23 for the solar eclipse.

Paving will begin in September and wrap up by around Oct. 15, Frost said.

Chip sealing is scheduled in June 2018.

“Traffic will be controlled by flaggers and a pilot car during this work,” Frost said. “Motorists should expect single-lane traffic and delays of up to 20 minutes while the contractor is working.”

“For a long time, we have determined in that long-range planning process that the most cost-effective resources for customers are wind and natural gas,” Eskelsen said.

Wyoming already is home to the biggest wind farm in the works in the U.S., the $5 billion Chokecherry and Sierra Madre project under development by Denver billionaire Phil Anschutz.

The up to 3,000-megawatt project will have as many as 1,000 turbines.

Road work began last year and turbines will go up as soon as next year.

The Anschutz project will export wind energy to the Southwest to help California meet its renewable energy requirements.

Rocky Mountain Power’s wind power will help serve PacifiCorp’s six-state region, which includes the Pacific Northwest and northern California.

Project to begin between Lovell and Cowley An $11.7 million project between Lovell and Cowley is scheduled to begin the week of July 10 on U.S. Highway 310/ Wyoming Highway 789.

The Sage Creek highway and bridge improvement project consists of road widening, bridge widening over the Shoshone River, replacement of the Sage Creek and railroad bridges, asphalt paving and other work.

Early work scheduled on the project includes fencing, and clearing and grubbing of dirt and vegetation alongside the existing roadway. Work on bridges will continue until winter weather brings a shutdown for the winter.

“The contractor, for the most part, will be working off the existing roadway through 2017, and traffic will remain on the existing road alignment until the summer of 2018,” said Wyoming Department of Transportation resident engineer Michael Miller of Basin. “Minor traffic

“They are a valuable natural resource,” Bruscino said, adding, “If we take care of bears, we’ll have lots of bears for many years to come.”

Renee Hanlin, the children’s librarian, scheduled Bruscino to be part of the summer reading program’s speaker series. She was impressed with the way Bruscino handled all the questions.

“He was thoughtful and he took time to think about his answers,” Hanlin said. “These types of speeches expose children to learning that makes them curious.”

As children become curious, they begin reading about

their curiosities. That eventually leads to a love for reading, which will enrich their futures.

“A love for reading leads to academic success. And that transfers to the rest of their lives,” Hanlin said.

“This was hard for me,” Bruscino admitted after the talk.

But it was obvious the kids loved the speech by the hearty round of applause at the end. And one student, who was very interested in spirit bears, cornered Bruscino after the speech to ask more questions. It’s hard to tell what kids will do at this age, but maybe one will become a wildlife biologist and follow in Bruscino’s path.

LOCAL WOMEN PERSEVERE IN 24-HOUR RELAY RUNNERS FROM POWELL, MEETEETSE AND CODY FINISH GRUELING TEST IN GOOD TIME

BY DON COGGER Tribune Staff Writer

E

stablished in 2004, the Ragnar Wasatch Back Relay is a grueling test of endurance — an overnight relay race of nearly 200 miles through the Wasatch Mountains in Utah.

Teams of 12 runners tag-team their way through three mountain passes from the Utah State University in Logan to Soldier Hollow, the site of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games. If that’s not hardcore enough, runners can enter the Ultra division and split that same distance among a six-member team — meaning each runner clocks an average of 30 miles by the time they reach the finish line.

Sound like fun?

Yeah, we didn’t think so. But a team of six women from around Park County did just that earlier this month, finishing second in the Women Ultra division with a time of 32 hours and 52 minutes. Perhaps even more impressive, of the 426 teams that entered the race spread out over six different divisions, “Wild Wyoming Women” finished better than 199 of them — 187 of them being 12-member teams.

“I thought it was a blast,” said Wyoming Wild Women team captain and Meeteetse native Kelsy Scolari. “It was very challenging so it felt so good to be able to successfully complete it.

We made a great team, encouraging each other and supporting each other throughout the race.”

Other team members included Jaime Perkins, Sammie Perkins and Brodie Bennett of Meeteetse, Tessa Round of Cody and Powell native Tiffany Brando. Primarily a sprinter when she was a member of the Powell High School track team, Brando said she hated distance running in her younger days. Her attitude has changed somewhat over the years, though she approached the idea of running the Ragnar with a healthy dose of skepticism.

“I thought it was crazy,” Brando said, laughing. “I was like, ‘Most teams do this with 12 people? And we want to do it with six? OK then.’”

Lead-off runner Brodie Bennett agreed with her teammate’s assessment.

“Kelsey [Scolari] was the one who had the idea and roped us all in, as she had done the race a couple years ago,” Bennett said. “I quite honestly didn’t think we would actually do it.”

Though all six team members were already in good shape, they tried to step up their workouts around March to be ready for the June 2 start. Fitting in workouts around a full work schedule could at times be tricky.

Kids’ Fishing Day in the Bighorn National Forest Saturday, July 8 Young anglers will have a chance to try their luck at fishing and learn about the environment at Kids’ Fishing Day on Saturday, July 8, at the Porcupine Ranger Station pond in the Bighorn National Forest.

The free event, which will run from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., is being sponsored by the national forest, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, and Trout Unlimited.

“This is an opportunity for kids to be involved in an outdoor activity and perhaps create a lifelong passion for fishing,” said Bighorn National Forest wildlife biologist Beth Bischoff.

Youth ages 13 and under are invited to attend with a parent or guardian.

Children who are Wyoming residents do not need a state fishing license. Nonresident children 13 and under must have an adult with a valid Wyoming fishing license on site. State regulations and creel limits apply.

Volunteers from the Forest Service, Little Bighorn Chapter of Trout Unlimited, and the Wyoming Game and Fish Department will be on hand to answer questions and provide assistance or instructions on casting techniques, knot-tying, angler ethics, and fish conservation and ecology.

Participants should be prepared for fishing and mountain weather by bringing their own fishing tackle, rain gear, layered clothing, snacks, coolers with ice for transporting fish, sunblock and insect repellent. Fishing bait will be provided. Fishing rods will be available for use by children who do not have their own, though anglers are asked to bring their own rods if they have them.

Porcupine Ranger Station is located on Forest Service Road 13 off U.S. Highway 14-A, a little more than 30 miles east Lovell.

For directions to the fishing pond or other questions, contact the Medicine Wheel Ranger District in Greybull at 307-765-4435.

Rylee Ramsey and her horse Izzy make the turn around the final barrel during the Saturday, June 24, Clark Jubilee Rodeo. The rodeo featured a number of events and was just one part of the 30th annual Clark Jubilee, which included a parade (where kids served as grand marshals), square dancing, karoake and fireworks. The theme of the 2017 Clark Jubilee was ‘30 years of celebrations and the next generation.’ For more photos from the rodeo, see Page 10.

ichard Avoletta didn’t start competing in triathlons until the age of 50, when he set a goal of competing in one triathlon in all 50 states.

Avolette has spent the last seven years traveling the country to accomplish his goal. In late May, Avoletta traveled 17 hours from Quincy, Illinois, to Powell to compete in the Powell Aquatic Center Triathlon and mark state No. 14 off his list.

Avoletta, a retired police officer, got into running triathlons after a work-related injury. For the State of Illinois, Avoletta worked for seven years with mentally and disabled adults and then 24 years with the state police for a combined total of 31 years of service.

“Unfortunately, I tried to wrestle a drunk driver one night and he attacked me,” Avoletta said. He ruptured four discs in his back — two in neck area and two in his lower back — and underwent three

surgeries.

“I try to keep myself in good shape and, you know, it was very discouraging, but my goal was to do a half marathon,” Avoletta said. “I was a runner — like, I ran a lot — so my goal was to do a half marathon in every one of the 50 states.”

Avolette competed in Illinois and Missouri, but “my back couldn’t take it anymore, so my doctor was like, ‘Hey, why don’t you try swimming or riding a bike?’”

However when Avoletta tried the swimming, he discovered that “swimming is hard, it’s very very hard, and it’s very very boring — I mean, for a guy that’s used to going.”

Spending the whole workout/competition in just one location, a pool, didn’t keep Avoletta’s attention.

Then, with a borrowed bike from a friend, Avoletta tried a triathlon in his hometown.

“I tried it and [was] hooked — loved it,” Avoletta said. “It’s really good cross training, it’s really really good for you and it

forces you to eat right too.”

Avoletta was told he needed to keep himself in shape and weight off his back, as another injury would require fusing bones and losing a lot of mobility.

“I’ve always loved exercising anyway,” said Avoletta of the doctor’s instructions on staying fit.

Avoletta said the injury changed his outlook on how he did his job, but not necessarily his view of life.

“I’ve always been an optimistic person, always tried to look at the best in people,” Avoletta said. “I know there’s bad people out there — there’s bad people in every walk of life — so no, it didn’t really change my outlook on life.”

Avoletta said that the injury did increase his faith, because “I could see how God brought me through that and really helped me — you know, with friends helping you and people taking care of you.”

Continued from Page 9 love and support from family and friends was tremendous.

Avoletta feels the injury did change his outlook in that he appreciates people who fight through injuries.

“It inspires you to encourage other people more — to be very thankful that like I’m even able to participate,” Avoletta said.

“That’s how I see it now.

“Before I was like, ‘I got to win this race.’ Now I’m like, ‘Thank you, Lord that I’m able to even do this, something that I really enjoy doing and that’s exercising,’” he said. “That’s how it changed my life — made me appreciative of even being able to be involved.”

This new outlook is also why Avoletta likes coming to smaller communities to compete.

“I want to pick a community and a triathlon that’s really going to do some good,” said Avoletta.

He does research around the first of the year to help determine which races and states he’ll compete in that coming summer.

“I like to do the local things cause the money goes directly to the community,” he said.

Avoletta found information about the Powell Aquatic Center Triathlon on www.trifind.com, a website he often uses to coordinate his summer plans and competitions.

The smaller races are “not so competitive,” he said. “People are more down to earth; people just want to participate.”

Avoletta was quick to add that there are a lot of nice people in the bigger races, too, but he found an 850-person race in Missouri “way too big.”

The race was held at the University of Missouri in Columbia with the infield of the football stadium serving as the transition area; Avoletta described the infield as nothing but bikes.

“It was like, ‘Where in the Hades is my bike?’” Avoletta said, laughing and adding, “Luckily, I remembered where my bike was.”

Of the 13 races Avoletta attended prior to Powell’s, Avoletta couldn’t pick a favorite.

When rating triathlons, he bases that decision on the whole package — for both he and his wife, Karen.

“Triathlons aren’t really a spectator sport. You see me swim and then I’m gone and then you can’t really see me do anything.” said Avoletta. “I try to make it fun for us, we go on vacation; we kind of make a trip

out of it.”

He added, “I gauge it on ... did we do some really fun things for her [Karen]? Did she really enjoy the vacation?”

In Minnesota, the couple went to Okoboji Lake and stayed at an old train depot converted into a bed and breakfast. At a race in Fort Worth, Texas, they got to watch longhorn cattle herded down the streets; in Tennessee, they went to Dollywood; in Omaha, Nebraska, Avolette said they saw an “unbelievable” zoo and a “lights out amazing” botanical garden.

While in Wyoming, Avoletta and his wife stayed in Cody, taking the Cody Trolley Tour and visiting the Buffalo Bill Center of the West. They then headed to Utah the following weekend, where he competed in another event and they planned to see a live theatre production of “Beauty and the Beast.”

“We make a little vacation,” Avoletta said of the trips to the various states.

In addition to the previously mentioned states, Avolette has also competed in Indiana, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, Kansas and Iowa.

Karen is a kindergarten teacher and so right now, Avoletta only competes in the summer so his wife can travel

“She’ll be retired in two more years and then, boom!

Here we go; we’re gonna hit it hard,” Avoletta said with a little chuckle.

In September, Avoletta expects to cross his 17th state off the list, competing in Arkansas.

As for the PAC Triathlon and state No. 14, Avoletta said everyone was really nice and “I had a great time.”

Ragnar: ‘We made a great team, encouraging each other and supporting each other throughout the race’ Continued from Page 9 “I thought going into the race I was somewhat prepared, but I found out quick I really wasn’t that prepared,” Bennett said. “I don’t think you could ever be totally prepared for a race like that if you had a normal working life, as there is no way you could run enough times a day to train for the endurance.”

Running in the sixth spot, Sammie Perkins ran just over 30 miles, her longest leg totaling 9 miles.

“It was grueling at times, but it was an awesome accomplishment,” Perkins said of the race. “Being runner number six meant that I was the final runner on our team, and it was really neat to be able to run across the finish line.”

As for her training regimen, Perkins said she tried to mix her workouts up to maximize her effort.

“I started training for the race in early spring by working out four to five times per week,” she said. “I tried to run three to four times per week, running at least 3 miles each time. I also did some cross-training or cardio-type

The members of the Wyoming Wild Women relay team, (from left) Sammie Perkins, Jaime Perkins, Brodie Bennett, Kelsey Scolari, Tiffany Brando and Tessa Round, say they formed a bond over their race. Courtesy photo workouts two or three times a week to mix it up.”

At 34 miles, Brando’s portion of the race was the longest and included the Ragnar Leg, the most challenging leg on the course. Starting at the base of the First Time lift at Park City Mountain Resort, runners climb up 2,900 feet, past Lady Morgan Bowl and Empire

Bowl before finishing at the base of Guardsman Pass, a total of almost 7 miles. The leg is so difficult that the runners who complete it get a “King of the Wasatch” medal to go along with their finishing medal.

“I knew going in that I had a really bad hill in the legs I was running; I didn’t realize it was the worst one,”

You are hereby notified that, on the 12th day of June, 2017, the Last Will and Testament of James W. Yockey was admitted to Probate by the Fifth Judicial Court and that James D. Yockey was appointed Personal Representative thereof. Any action to set aside the Will shall be filed with the Court within three months from the date of the first publication of this Notice or thereafter be forever barred.

Notice and request is further given that all persons indebted to James W. Yockey or to his Estate make immediate payment to the undersigned at P.O. Box 550, Cody, WY 82414.

Creditors having claims against the decedent or the Estate are required to file them in duplicate with the necessary vouchers in the office of the Clerk of said Court on or before three months after the date of the first publication of this notice, and, if such claims are not so filed, unless otherwise allowed or paid, they will be forever barred.

Brando said.

It was her sixth and final leg of the race and by that time, one of her iliotbial bands (the ligament that runs down the outside of the thigh from the hip to the shin) was really tight, “so it was painful to run at that point.”

When a team tackles a challenge like the Ragnar Wasatch Back, the members can’t help but form a bond. By the time your body begins to shut down, and sleep deprivation and hunger begin to set in, sometimes the support of your teammates is all that gets you through.

“We made a great team, encouraging each other and supporting each other throughout the race,” Scolari said. “We had a lot of laughs, especially as sleep deprivation started to set in. We all had our work cut out for ourselves so everyone had to pull their own weight.

We really had to rely on one another.”

Brando said the time in the car between legs kept the mood light and the girls focused.

“For as tired as we were and for as sore as we were, we made it fun,” she said. “We had a blast. My biggest thing

is I didn’t really know any of these girls very well before we started all this.

Now I talk to them all the time. We bonded very quickly.”

With the race in the books, and the team having had a chance to reflect on their accomplishment, is this something they would sign on for again?

“I would do this race again in a heartbeat,” Scolari said. “What an amazing experience.”

The other team members might be a little harder to convince, though one gets the impression they might be up for the challenge.

“I can see where having a team of 12 would be a lot more enjoyable,” Bennett said. “During the race, I wouldn’t even consider running the race again, but now that it is over and I can look back on it, I might do it again.”

Perkins agreed.

“I don’t know if I would do an Ultra again, but I would do a 12 person Ragnar for sure,” she said. “But if my teammates really wanted to do the Ultra again, I could probably be convinced.”

EMPOWERED THROUGH EDUCATION

FORMER NWC STUDENT WORKS

TO HELP EDUCATE GIRLS IN PAKISTAN

BY ILENE OLSON Tribune News Editor

E

vents in his youth convinced Saddam Hussain of Pakistan, now 22, that everyone — not just boys — should get a good education.

“I think a human — let it be a man or a woman — can be empowered only through education,” Hussain said during an interview with the Tribune over the internet.

But statistics show that most Pakistani women, and many men, lacked educational opportunities. The literacy rate in urban areas in Pakistan was 58.3 percent in 2006, while in rural areas, it was only 28.3 percent. Among rural women, the literacy rate dropped to only 12 percent.

“It was estimated that less than 3 percent of the 17-23 age group of girls have access to higher education,” Hussain said.

More than 60 million Pakistanis live in poverty, and that poverty undermines education. When school buildings aren’t available in some areas of Pakistan, volunteer teacher Saddam Hussain teaches classes outdoors. Pictured here are some of his male students.

“Parents send their children Photos courtesy Saddam Hussain to earn a few bucks rather than “Using the skills he learned dream of promoting education, make up nearly half of Pakisending them to a school,” he we must accept the strength give up when the time comes.” through the program, Saddam especially to young girls of To try to keep that from hap- stan’s population. and the capability of women said.

107TH YEAR/ISSUE 54

District to get little rent from PVHC this fiscal year

HOSPITAL BUDGET

BY ILENE OLSON Tribune News Editor

P

owell Hospital District has more money on hand at the start of the coming fiscal year than it did a year

ago.

According to its fiscal year 2018 budget, the district had $2,055,830 in cash as of last week — $467,395 more than the $1,588,435 it had at this time last year.

Powell Valley Healthcare interim chief financial officer Stephen Miller said last year’s budget set aside nearly $520,000 for capital projects, but most of that was not spent.

“Additionally, there were operating funds that remain unspent as well. Together these are the funds carried over to FY2018,” Miller said in an email.

That’s a good thing, because the budget estimates the hospital district will receive only $202,500 in rental income from Powell Valley Healthcare during FY2018, which began July 1. That is a steep decline from the $810,000 that PVHC paid last year to rent the hospital and other medical buildings on the medical complex from the taxpayer-owned district.

Pending approval of Powell Valley Healthcare’s reorganization plan for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, the district will waive rent payments for Powell Valley Healthcare for one year.

Powell Valley Healthcare went into Chapter 11 bankruptcy in May 2016 to get help with more than 20 lawsuits alleging Dr. Jeffrey Hansen, an orthopedic surgeon, performed bad surgeries years ago.

In addition to waiving rent for one year, the reorganization plan calls for the district to reimburse PVHC for $250,000 of the rent it paid last year, and to reduce the organization’s rent for another seven years.

The rent waiver, reimbursement and reductions are designed to help PVHC make $3 million in payments over eight years

Powell Valley Healthcare, its insurers, its former management company, its former surgeon at the heart of most of the patients’ complaints, and the patients hope to answer that question through a three-day mediation session in August.

PVHC — which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy to manage all the litigation — has already proposed a plan to settle most of the patients’ claims and come out of bankruptcy.

However, that draft plan of reorganization will likely draw objections, meaning the process of confirming it could take months of court filings and hearings, wrote Philip Pearlman, an attorney representing a committee made up of some of the patients suing PVHC. In contrast, if the “global mediation” is successful, it could resolve “many, if not all of the remaining issues … and allow this case to go forward to confirmation without any delay,” Pearlman wrote.

More than two dozen people have sued or filed claims against Powell Valley Healthcare for alleged malpractice and/or negligence. The vast majority of those allegations — roughly 20 — relate to surgeries performed by Dr. Jeffrey Hansen, who worked for PVHC from 2006 through 2014.

The patients say Hansen botched some procedures, did others that were outside his area of expertise and performed others that were unnecessary, causing lasting pain and damage. Hansen was suspended over “patient safety concerns” in late 2013 and later resigned, but the patients say PVHC should have acted much sooner on concerns about the orthopedic surgeon — including some raised by staff.

Faced with rising costs from defending all the suits, PVHC declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy in May 2016 as a way to deal with them in an orderly manner.

In late April, PVHC proposed a plan See Mediation, Page 3

Windstorm knocks down huge tree on Heart Mountain It only took several minutes of fierce wind to topple a decades-old tree on a Heart Mountain homestead Monday.

The massive cottonwood was uprooted in the fast-moving storm, which brought rain and strong wind gusts.

Four fires on the Fourth

Powell volunteer firefighters douse a small fire near the railroad tracks in Ralston on Tuesday night while Fourth of July fireworks continue to explode not far away.

Rafter missing in Snake River JACKSON (AP) — Searchers in northwestern Wyoming are looking for a 21-year-old man who went missing after he and several others were thrown from a raft into the Snake River south of Jackson.

Teton County Sheriff’s Lt. Matt Carr says Oliver Woodward was last seen late Tuesday afternoon in the water in the Snake River Canyon, about a mile south of Hoback Junction.

Four others were able to get to shore.

The search for Woodward began Tuesday evening and continued Wednesday.

Woodward is 6 feet tall.

He was wearing green board shorts, but was not wearing a life jacket.

Sparks from fireworks caused four grass fires in the Powell area on the Fourth of July.

On Tuesday night, the Powell Volunteer Fire Department responded to fires on Bridger Avenue in Ralston, Joslen Drive on the Willwood, Road 15 west of Powell and Lane 13H on Heart Mountain.

The first call came in just before 9:30 p.m., and the last fire was called in at around 12:15 a.m. “They were all relatively small,” Fire Chief Damian Dicks said of the grass fires.

For fires in rural areas, it sometimes takes fire crews a while to get there.

“We get there just as quick as we can, but that fire can move a lot quicker than we can,” Dicks said.

He reminded people to have water or a fire extinguisher on hand when setting off fireworks.

“Be aware of the surroundings, and know that those fireworks can go a long distance,” Dicks said. “The weeds and the grass are so dry right now — it doesn’t take much to start a fire.”

He said the four grass fires were about normal for what the fire department sees on the Fourth of July. The Cody area had around a dozen fires over the Fourth of July, he said.

Sheriff wants Fenn treasure hunt called off Park County Sheriff Scott Steward has joined state police in New Mexico in asking for a regional treasure hunt to be called off.

Since 2010, people have been combing Wyoming, Montana, Colorado and New Mexico for a treasure that Forrest Fenn, a Sante Fe art and antiques dealer, says he’s hidden. Fenn, who started the hunt with a series of clues he included in his memoir, “The Thrill of the Chase,” has said the loot includes a box filled with jewels and gold worth more than $1 million.

While tens of thousands of people have reportedly searched for the treasure, several have gotten into dangerous situations. Last month, a Colorado pastor named Paris Wallace died while looking for the chest near Taos, New Mexico “Another searcher died on the Río Grande last year looking for the chest, others have gotten lost and one man stalked Fenn’s granddaughter suspect-

Forrest Fenn says he took Klondike gold dust from this mooseskin poke and buried it with the treasure that he says he’s hidden somewhere in the Rocky Mountain region. Fenn donated the poke itself to the Buffalo Bill Center of the West.

ing the treasure was really a metaphor for her,” The Sante Fe New Mexican reported after Wallace’s death. “Each such incident has raised the question of whether the quest to solve Fenn’s riddle has gone too far.”

In the wake of Wallace’s death, the head of New Mexico’s state police urged Fenn to call off the hunt.

“I would implore that he stop this nonsense,” Chief Pete Kassetas told the New Mexican.

In a statement posted on his department’s Facebook page last month, Sheriff Steward agreed that the search for the Fenn treasure should be terminated for safety reasons.

The Park County Sheriff’s Office’s Search and Rescue Unit has itself dealt with Fenn treasure hunters who’ve gotten in over their heads.

In June 2013, two Fenn treasure hunters from Virginia had to be rescued from the Big Creek area of the Star Hill Ranch.

Frank Eugene Rose Jr. and Madilina Taylor, had reportedly gotten lost for four days and were suffering from exposure and unable to cross Big Creek.

One year later, in June 2014, Taylor had to be air lifted from the same area after she fell and broke an ankle. Finally, in July 2016, Search and Rescue personnel went looking for Taylor after her empty vehicle was found on the North Fork.

She emerged from the backcountry after three days, un-

harmed; however, Taylor reportedly told sheriff’s personnel she’d had three encounters with grizzly bears and “had had enough” and wouldn’t be returning.

The couple has not been seen in the area since, said Sheriff’s Office spokesman Lance Mathess.

While saying the search should end, Steward also admitted there’s nothing local officials can do to prevent treasure hunters from using public lands.

“At the very least, these individuals like all those who venture into the backcountry should be prepared,” Steward said in the statement. “There are a lot of ways to die in this rugged area, especially if you’re unprepared for the elements and environment.”

Fenn has indicated that he will not call off the search, telling the New Mexican that he suspects some of the treasure hunters might not even believe him if he said he’d picked up the treasure.

Grades: Change could help some kids pass classes Continued from Page 1

Corey Forman climbs the branches of a huge cottonwood tree that fell on his Heart Mountain property during a Monday storm. The tree damaged several trees and came close to hitting his field of hops.

Tree: Cottonwood stood for more than 60 years Continued from Page 1 exactly what had happened,” he said. “I was not expecting to see it, driving up to it.”

The trunk’s diameter measures about 6 feet. The tree stood 70 to 80 feet tall, making it one of the largest trees in the area. The cottonwood was planted between 1950 and ’55, Forman said.

“That tree was planted before they had power out here,” he

said.

Its roots went deep into the ground. Now that it’s uprooted, a 7-foot deep hole remains.

The cottonwood landed on top of other trees, including a 50-60 foot pine tree, as well as a couple of empty 3,000-gallon tanks.

The tree fell dangerously close to the hops Forman is growing as part of a field trial for Northwest College.

Had the tree fallen the other direction, “it would have taken

out the power lines and been in the middle of the road,” Forman said.

Aside from the cottonwood, the wind also broke branches on a few other trees.

Forman will probably hire someone to remove the massive cottonwood.

“This is a tough time of year for us, even if we were set up, to try to get away from the farm work,” Forman said.

Hospital: Expects a 6 percent drop in property taxes Continued from Page 1 to a proposed personal injury trust made up of former patients of Dr. Hansen who sued the organization. Terry Odom, PVHC chief executive officer, has said the organization could not meet that $3 million obligation without the district’s help.

If approval of the reorganization plan is delayed, or if it is changed, the rental and reimbursement amounts in the budget will be adjusted accordingly, Miller said.

Miller, who has been PVHC’s interim CFO for only a couple of months, praised PVHC Controller Joy Colston, who helped with the budget. He said she made the budgeting process much easier than it would have been in an office “where there is no Joy.” The district’s board consists of seven elected trustees, all of whom also serve on the Powell Valley Healthcare Board of Directors, along with three PVHC doctors.

R.J. Kost, president of the Powell Valley Healthcare board and a trustee on the Powell Hospital District board, said the district is waiving rent to help PVHC meet its $3 million obligation under the proposed reorganization plan.

“Basically, the bottom line is, the district wanted to find a way to assist so we could guar-

antee that our hospital is within the community … without it becoming a skeleton,” Kost said earlier.

He said the settlement and reduced rent will not put the district in jeopardy, and the district will be able to keep up with maintenance of the facilities.

The district budget sets aside $316,517 for capital outlay for equipment repair or replacement and building maintenance.

All the expenses in the FY 2018 budget total $1,267,272.

That’s expected to be offset

in part by $509,841 in property taxes (collected through a 3 mill levy on local property owners). That’s about $30,600 — or 6 percent — less than the district was able to collect in property taxes a year ago.

In addition to the taxes, the district expects to receive the $202,500 in rent from PVHC, $118,000 of motor vehicle and delinquent fees and $3,500 in interest.

The full FY 2018 budget for Powell Hospital District can be viewed on Page 14 in today’s edition.

get a 60 percent today might be the equivalent of getting a 68 or 69 percent eight, nine, 10 years ago,” Kuhn said.

The graduation rate also was part of the discussion, he said.

Overall, PHS had a graduation rate of 88.7 percent in 2015-16, compared to the statewide rate of 80 percent, according to the Wyoming Department of Education.

“We know the impact of not being able to get a high school diploma affects a student for the rest of their life,” Kuhn said.

Kuhn said PHS staff looked at the long-range impact of failing a class, especially at the freshman and sophomore level, and how it increases the drop-out rate.

The new scale gives PHS an opportunity to see if “we can make a difference in a few more kids, give them a

chance to mature maybe a little bit more at the freshman, sophomore level, so they can continue to take electives in our CTE (career and technical education) programs that for a lot of our students will be their career,” Kuhn said.

In previous semesters, the new grading scale would have impacted about 25 to 30 percent of classes that were failed at PHS. If PHS had considered a 6064 a D last fall, 29 more classes would have been passed out of the 111 that were failed. In the spring 2016 semester, 27 more classes would have been passed out of 82 that were failed, Kuhn said.

By modifying the grading scale, it’s not like “anyone who walks through the doors is going to get a diploma,” he said.

“You still have students who basically refuse to try,” Kuhn said.

Red Lodge ‘Oompah Band’ to play in Powell bandshell For Don Hardy, who grew up in Powell, a July 15 performance at Washington Park with a German brass band will be something of a homecoming.

Hardy plays with the Red Lodge, Montana, brass band Alte Kameraden (old friends, in German). The non-commercial group of musicians will perform a free concert at 11 a.m. in the Powell park’s bandshell.

The band is directed by Ken Boggio of Hardin, Montana, and Kerry Boggio of Red Lodge. It includes ac-

complished players and music educators from southern Montana and northern Wyoming.

“I’ve long thought of playing in Powell,” said Hardy. “I played my first band concert in that bandshell as a fifth grade cornet player in 1955.”

Hardy lives in Red Lodge in retirement. He was U.S. Sen. Alan Simpson’s longtime chief of staff in Washington, D.C., and is the author of the biography, “Shooting from the Lip, the Life of Senator Al Simpson.”

The group, Alte Kam-

of reorganization that would involve paying $3 million to the patients over the next eight years; that cost would effectively be covered by the Powell Hospital District, a taxpayerowned special district that owns the Powell hospital and other facilities and rents them to PVHC. The proposed plan would also allow the patients and their lawyers to continue pursuing PVHC’s former management company, known as HealthTech Management Services, former CEO Bill Patten, Dr. Hansen and PVHC’s insurers — where more than $25 million worth of coverage is theoretically available.

Attorneys representing the patients have indicated that,

eraden, originated in Red Lodge as a miners’ band in 1896 and has functioned under several names over the decades. The band performs a variety of music — including pieces from the Buffalo Bill Wild West Show, Finnish and German music, polkas and marches. Sometimes called the “Oompah Band,” it plays Oktoberfests, concerts, at schools and somewhere every week in the summer — just for the fun of it.

The Saturday, July 15 performance at Washington Park is set to run two hours.

while they still have issues with some of the details in the draft plan, they’re generally in agreement with it.

However, HealthTech — which would effectively receive nothing under the draft plan — filed a demand for more information about how PVHC and hospital district leaders and the patients involved in the bankruptcy case came up with the proposal; HealthTech also asked to take sworn testimony from every one of those patients and hospital officials about the plan. In response, one of the attorneys representing the patients’ interests, Jamie Cotter, called HealthTech’s request “a flagrant (and truly heartless) effort to intimidate these medical malpractice victims” and to get leverage for

a more favorable bankruptcy plan; PVHC leaders, meanwhile, took particular exception to a section of HealthTech’s filing that questioned whether PVHC was even eligible to file for bankruptcy.

HealthTech and PVHC’s insurers had been given until Thursday to file formal objections, but last week, U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Cathleen Parker agreed to put the case on hold for 60 days so the parties can try mediation.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark Carman, who generally presides over the court in Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park, will lead the mediation.

Pearlman said the discussions may be held in either Jackson Hole or Denver in the first part of August.

For students who are struggling, PHS has many things in place to help, he said, such as tutorial programs, beforeschool and after-school programs and staff working with students in the classroom to help them move forward.

School board member Tracy Morris said that, as a parent, she has appreciated the ways PHS helps and works with students.

Board members also said they thought it made sense for schools around Wyoming to be on the same grading scale.

“Not that I would want to ask the state to mandate anything more, but we’re all taking the same statewide tests, we’re all geared toward the Hathaway Scholarship plan. This is something else that should be statewide then, that ... every kid is on the same grading scale in the state, too,” said Greg Borcher, school board chairman.

Powell Tribune IN OUR OPINION

A salute to Vietnam veterans who fought together 50 years ago Patriotism is displayed loudly at this time of year: Fireworks exploding in the sky, marching bands playing in parades and crowds cheering as tough cowboys ride bucking bulls.

But before the fanfare of Fourth of July festivities, a quieter form of patriotism was displayed when a group of friends gathered at the Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial in Cody last month.

This wasn’t just any group of friends, nor was it a common gathering. As soldiers of 1st Platoon Bravo Company, 4/47 9th Infantry Division, the men first met one another in the late 1960s as they trained to serve in the Vietnam War. They fought alongside one another, risked their lives for their country and forged friendships that have spanned half a century.

When they gathered in Wyoming for a week-long reunion, the surviving members of the platoon — nicknamed the “Tornados” — marked the 50th anniversary of their fiercest battle on June 19.

The gathering included a short service at the Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial in Cody, and each vet shared a few words during a reunion dinner.

“We’re all so close; these are brothers,” said Jim Heller of Powell, a member of the platoon. “Shakespeare said it best: ‘For he today that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother.’ That’s what these guys represent to each other.”

Heller hosted the group at his home on the Willwood, where they enjoyed the peace and quiet of summertime in Wyoming. It’s the type of reunion every American veteran deserves — to reminisce with old friends who understand what no one else can fathom.

We can’t begin to convey our appreciation for their service and sacrifice, but we can pause for a moment to recognize the members of the 4/47 9th Infantry Division.

Unfortunately, Vietnam veterans were never given the warm welcome they deserved when they returned to America in the 1960s and ’70s. Wyoming worked to make that right in recent years by hosting “welcome home” ceremonies for Vietnam veterans. We can’t undo what happened decades ago, but we can recognize them today and say thank you to surviving veterans.

At a time of year filled with patriotic festivities, it’s only fitting to honor those who served and live quietly among us.

I

hate being cut off, like last week in Bloedorn Lumber when a burly, elderly customer began telling me, Sean Johnson and a rival roofer a lengthy, tedious joke.

Seems a guy told his doctor he felt stupid, and the expensive prescription was “smart pills” to be taken daily. This went on for weeks, and blah, blah, blah, the patient says, “I can’t afford these pills anymore,” and Doc replies, “See? Now you’re getting smart.”

OK, dubious delivery of a pretty good joke; now it was my turn.

Determined not to repeat the guy’s halting cadence, I began: “I told my psychiatrist I’m paranoid that everyone thinks I’m ugly, and he says …” At this point, Jokester No. 1 walked away, carrying his cans of paint.

(I mean, he musta been well into his 50s.)

Ah, memories. One needn’t be mentally lucid to have them.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Science sacrificed for profits on vaccinations Dear Editor: The elitism so pervasive in government and media circles is the reason I don’t trust much of anything they have to say regarding issues related to science and public health. Recall the comments of professor Jonathon Gruber, one of the principal architects of Obamacare, when he admitted that he deliberately wrote the bill “in a tortured way,” because “lack of transparency is a huge political advantage” when selling it to the public due to “the stupidity of the American voter.”

The public policy thinking of the bureaucrats in the U.S. and European governments is dominated by: ways to line their pockets at our expense, obsession with depopulation and ways to replace our democratic institutions with a technocratic bureaucracy. When science clashes with policy and profit considerations, guess which is sacrificed? Even when the science is a settled matter, as in the case of fluoride toxicity, profit trumps children’s health concerns. There are grocery stores in this area selling fluoridated water for consumption by babies, even after a Harvard study showed a seven-point IQ reduction in children exposed to fluoridated drinking water.

The MMR vaccine debate highlights the victory of government “science by edict” and corporate profiteering over unadulterated science.

Contrary to the statements made in a recent Powell Tribune editorial, Dr. Andrew Wakefield’s research was

never discredited. He was simply destroyed by Big Pharma when he refused to be bullied into issuing a retraction.

Fortunately, we don’t need to wade into that controversy to find the truth. Two MMR researchers have turned whistleblowers after seeing the consequences of their silence.

Dr. William Thompson publicly admitted that he and his CDC associates lied, cheated, and committed gross fraud in pronouncing the MMR vaccine safe and pretending it had no connection to autism.

Dr. Peter Fletcher, a former (British) government medical officer responsible for assessing whether medicines are safe has accused the government of “utterly inexplicable complacency” over the MMR triple vaccine for children.

The former chief scientific officer for the Department of Health has stated that, “he has seen a ‘steady accumulation of evidence’ from scientists worldwide that the measles, mumps and rubella [MMR] jab is causing brain damage in certain children.” A U.K. Daily Mail article on March 29, 2016, points out that he first raised his concerns about the inadequacy of the safety trials before the vaccine was introduced into Britain in 2001. He goes on to say that, “Now the theoretical fears he raised appear to be becoming reality.” A study by the American Institute of Medicine found a statistically significant association of vaccination with neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism spectrum disorder. They published their results online, but the report was quickly removed from the web.

Since then, staff wages salaries comes at a time when staff members have not changed. The senate feels wages are being asked to take on more duties. Some

370 positions have been eliminated since spring 2016, including 37 layoffs announced last month. “I think maybe we’ve started receiving more feedback on the topic just because people are frustrated seeing their workloads increase and feeling a sense of insecurity about what’s going on makes them more concerned,� Stevens said. “‘So I’m going to stay here and do twice as much work for the same pay, even as my real wages are decreasing.’�

Stevens said her meeting with Nichols went well. Nichols was not available for comment Monday.

Wyoming rejects White House request for voter data CASPER (AP) — Wyoming Secretary of State Ed Murray says his office won’t turn over public voter data to a federal commission investigating the integrity of elections.

Murray tells The Casper Star-Tribune the request by President Donald Trump’s commission investigating alleged voter fraud in the 2016 elections is “not sitting well with me,� saying he’s concerned it risks the privacy of Wyoming voters.

Trump lost the popular vote to Democrat Hillary Clinton and has said, without evidence,

In a statement about his decision to decline to turn over the data, Murray said he was choosing to “safeguard the privacy of Wyoming’s voters because of my strong belief in a citizen’s right of privacy.�

Murray, who oversees Wyoming elections, said elections are a state responsibility under the U.S. Constitution and that he fears the request “could lead to a federal overreach.�

Murray also said Wyoming’s elections “are secure, fair, transparent and well-run.�

The Wyoming Wilderness Association and retired ecologist/grizzly bear expert Chuck Neal of Cody will lead a hike into bear country on Saturday, July 22.

The popular, annual hike fills up fast and provides an all-day expedition into the North Fork area of the Shoshone River, a roadless area within the Shoshone National Forest. The first half of the trip is a steep

uphill climb, paced by Neal’s lightning-fast legs. After the climb, be ready to learn about the ecology and biology of grizzlies in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.

JACKSON (AP) — A remote landslide has created a deep lake in western Wyoming.

Bridger-Teton National Forest officials aren’t sure when the mountainside gave way in the Wyoming Range south of Jackson. A forest official looking for

wildfires from an airplane spotted the landslide just recently in the Willow Creek drainage.

Outfitter Dustin Child tells the Jackson Hole News & Guide he rode a horse to see the landslide on the ground. Child says the landslide is up to 200 feet deep and has blocked off a creek, forming a 15- to 20-acre lake.

Child estimates the lake is 30 to 40 feet deep.

He says the landslide has cut off a trail and the debris field is steep and difficult to cross.

LOCAL SCOUTS RECEIVE CRASH COURSE IN

SAVING A LIFE

BY DON COGGER Tribune Staff Writer

B

oy Scouts from Powell and Cody descended on R & A Safety last week for a crash course in CPR and first aid to earn a merit badge and work toward becoming First Class Scouts.

“Our goal is to have them all up to First Class before the summer ends,” said Troop 26 Scoutmaster Harold Wages.

The training the Scouts received in Friday’s intensive, all-day class ran the gamut from identifying poisonous plants to administering CPR — with instruction on what to do in the event of a person choking and constructing your own first aid kit for your home thrown in the middle.

Wages said the skills the boys learned are ones everyone should have a grasp on, not just Scouts.

“All of this is stuff that is really important,” he said. “Everyone should know how to do these things, and do them well. And it’s something we as a troop will keep revisiting, because you really can’t learn it enough. If you find yourself in a situation where someone needs first aid, you have to be able to do it.”

R & A Safety provided the training at its location on North Street.

“R & A Safety were good enough to put this on for us,” Wages said. “They came up with the class, and did a great job taking the time to train these guys.”

Up next for Troop 26 is a four-day retreat at the Scout cabin at Deerhaven this weekend to finish off their First Class badges.

“We’ll do some fishing up there, get out in some canoes,” Wages said. “This will hopefully take care of their aquatics requirements for First Class.”

Once the Scouts have achieved First Class status, Wages said the plan is to take the troop to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, in August. There, they’ll visit the tree farm that supplies the Christmas trees the Scouts sell each winter.

“We thought it would be fun to show them where they grow the trees,” Wages said. “It will also give us a chance to check out the Boy Scouts’ camp on Lake Coeur d’Alene, as well as the rollercoasters at the theme park in the area. For the boys, it will be a reward for a summer’s worth of hard work.”

As for the takeaway from the first aid class, Wages said he hopes the training will instill confidence in his Scouts to not be afraid to act, should an emergency situation arise.

“The more you know about a situation and how to handle it, the less likely you are to panic.

The less likely you are to panic, the more confidence you’re going to have in yourself and your

PARK

abilities to do just about anything,” he explained.

“Something that would be very scary for them — like someone having a heart attack or bleeding profusely, or stopped breathing — now they are prepared to help.”

Powell’s Troop 26 meets at 6:30 p.m. Tuesdays at the American Legion Hall. Wages encourages all boys between the ages of 11-18 to attend.

“The Boy Scouts is in the business of creating leaders, that’s what the program is for,” Wages said. “It’s taking these guys and teaching them a little bit about a lot of things. They have a lot of merit badges, and all of them are designed to expose them to something that they can take with them throughout their lives. The only thing better than doing something fun is doing it with your friends.”

Stampede draws world’s top cowboys and cowgirls

BY BREANNE THIEL Tribune Sports Writer

C

ontinuing a tradition started in 1919, the four-day Cody Stampede Rodeo brought the top performers to Park County this past week — including eight reigning world champions across seven events. Between Saturday and Tuesday, more than 800 contestants competed in their respective events for the title of champion.

For locals, one of the highlights was a second-place showing by J.R. Vezain of Cowley in bareback riding.

The unique part of the Cody Stampede is each night features a different set of competitors, with each getting just one shot at winning a title and a paycheck. Those competing in the earlier nights’ performances have to wait until the night of the Fourth of July to see if their times/scores will hold up, while those who compete later know the bar set before them.

Despite some impressive times and scores in the first performance and first slack, no one would remain in the first place spot come the conclusion of the event on Tuesday, when the champions were named.

SADDLE BRONC Jake Finlay of Goondiwindi, Australia took the initial lead in saddle bronc riding with an 85-point ride on Burch Rodeo’s Strawberry Rocket on Saturday’s opening night. Finlay was a member of the 2017 College National Finals Rodeo Championship team at Panhandle State University in Goodwell, Oklahoma, finishing fourth in bareback at the CNFR this year.

However, Finlay lost his first-place position on the final night.

On Tuesday, Jesse Wright of Milford, Utah, edged Finlay with a 85.5-point ride on Frontier Rodeo Company’s horse Delta Force.

Wright was following a family tradition, as his twin brother took the saddle bronc title last year. Wright took home $8,657 for his overall first place finish and Finlay took home $6,637.

World champ Zeke Thurston had entered to compete in the Cody Stampede,

Above, Stockton Graves of Alva, Oklahoma, steer wrestles on Tuesday night at the Cody Stampede Rodeo at Stampede Park. Graves got his steer to the ground in 4.4 seconds, posting the top time of the night, but coming up 0.1 seconds shy of placing in the overall top 10. At right, J.R. Vezain of Cowley rode Crazy Eyes for an 85.5-point ride. Vezain tied for second place overall in bareback riding. Tribune photos by Breanne Thiel but ultimately was unable to attend.

BAREBACK The bareback riders in Tuesday’s culminating performance came in with winning on their mind as seven of the 13 riders scored 80 or more points.

Taking the title was Tyler Nelson of Victor, Idaho, with an 86-point ride on Frontier Rodeo Company’s horse Gunfire. That was the same horse that reigning bareback world champion Tim O’Connell of Zwingle, Iowa, rode to 85.5 points on the rodeo’s very first night.

Vezain, of Cowley, matched the world champ for second place with an identical 85.5-point ride on Tuesday.

Nelson took home $10,032 for his championship while O’Connell and Vezain won $6,688 each.

BARREL RACING For the cowgirls running the barrels, Tammy Fischer of Ledbetter, Texas, won the overall event with a time of 16.88 seconds. She collected $9,793 to go with the title.

Ty Wallace won the Cody/Yellowstone Xtreme Bulls Friday night, building upon the best season that the 23-year-old bull rider has had to date.

The Collbran, Colorado, resident qualified for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (NFR) in 2014 and 2015. Then, after an injured groin last July, he missed the 2016 event by just five spots. Wallace started this year off on the right foot, however, winning the biggest Xtreme Bulls competition of the season at the San Antonio Stock Show Rodeo. In late June, he added another Xbulls title to his resume at the Greeley Stampede in his home state. He came to Cody ready to start a big Fourth of July run and was excited to get on Frontier Rodeo’s bull named Show Off. “I didn’t know much about him,” Wallace said of the bull, but after watching video of another rider winning on Show Off, “I thought he’d fit my style pretty well.”

The bull did indeed fit Wallace’s style, posting an 89.5-point ride.

After his showing, Wallace had to wait through 15 more bull riders to see if his lead would hold. It did and he added $6,239 to his season earnings of $82,198. He currently sits in third place in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association world standings.

Cody Stampede Rodeo: Continued from Page 9 TEAM ROPING The team of Kaleb Driggers, header, of Albany, Georgia, and Junior Nogueira, heeler, of Presidente Prudente, Brazil, took first place with a time of 4.4 seconds on Monday night.

It withstood the final night’s performance when all nine teams posted no times. That resulted in Driggers and Nogueira — the reigning world all-around champion — each taking home $9,401.

World champions Levi Simpson at header and Jeremy Buhler at heeler finished in a tie for sixth with a time of 5.1 seconds, earning $3,958 each.

TIE-DOWN ROPING Among a fast Sunday night of roping times, Caleb Smidt of Bellville, Texas, and Sterling Smith of Stephenville, Texas, wound up tying for first place with identical times of 7.7 seconds. They each earned $9,475 when no one could best them on Monday or Tuesday.

E.J. Panetta of Sheridan won the first night’s event with a time of 10.2 seconds, but his time ultimately didn’t get him into the money.

STEER WRESTLING During the first slack performance on Sunday, Chason Floyd of Buffalo, South Dakota, jumped out to the lead with a time of 3.9 seconds. However, the next night, Kyle Irwin of Roberts-

dale, Alabama, overtook Floyd by the narrowest of margins — wrestling his steer in just 3.8 seconds.

Neither Irwin nor Floyd would lose their top two positions for the remainder of the Cody Stampede Rodeo. Irwin took home $8,934 and Floyd came away with $7,994.

Payden McIntyre of Douglas won the second performance Sunday night in 4.5 seconds, but ultimately finished out of the money.

BULL RIDING The bull riders got off to a tough start on Saturday, as not a single cowboy rode to the 8 second buzzer.

However, they had picked things up

by Tuesday night.

On a Monday night that was generally uneventful, Dustin Bowen of Waller, Texas, scored an impressive 87.5-point ride atop Mo Betta Rodeo Company’s bull Woody. Not only was it the best score of the night, it stood up — just barely — for the overall title and scored Bowen a total of $8,993 in winnings.

In the final, fourth performance, Joe Frost of Randlett, Utah, and Sage Kimzey of Strong City, Oklahoma, each gave Bowen a run for his money; Kimzey — the reigning world champ — and Frost each posted 87 point rides to tie for second place overall; they took home $5,995 each.

Both cowboys rode Frontier Rodeo Company bulls, with Frost atop Dark Moment and Kimzey on Show Off.

Wright completed 17.47 second run, which was good for a second place that night but not fast enough to make the overall top 10. Tribune photo by Breanne Thiel A total of $84,161 was awarded to just to the first place finishers, a part of $343,861 in overall prize money.

Other defending world champs who competed in Cody were Tyler Waguespack in steer wrestling, Tyson Durfey in tie-down roping and Mary

Burger in barrel racing.

Having concluded its 98th running, the Cody Stampede remains the longest-standing professional rodeo.

It was named the Best Large Outdoor Rodeo in 1998 and 1999 and Rodeo of the Year in 2014.

“It’s been great,” Wallace said. “I’ve already won more money this year than I had when I entered the NFR either of the past two times.”

The Xtreme Bulls event in Cody featured one full round of bull riding and paid nearly $20,000 to the four competitors who had a successful ride. A total of 40 cowboys competed.

After missing last year’s NFR, Wallace’s drive and determination to compete at rodeo’s championships in Las Vegas next December was bigger than ever. He watched the first few performances of last year’s rodeo on television but found that to be mentally taxing.

Instead of spending time in front of the TV, he went to the gym to continue his rehab routine.

That routine also included plenty of time on horseback and doing lots of ranch work.

“Before this, I hardly ever went to the gym,” he said. “I always felt like riding horses and doing ranch work kept me in shape. I still believe that, but I know that getting in the gym made a big difference for me this year.”

Wallace hopes the momentum from his success in Cody will carry over to other rodeos as he and other contestants burn up the highway and the airways as they compete during the most lucrative part of the rodeo season.

Here are the following results from the Cody/Yellowstone Xtreme Bulls Competition, which kicked off the Cody Stampede: 1. Ty Wallace, Collbran, Colorado, 89.5 points, $6,239 in earnings 2. Eli Vastbinder, Athens, Texas, 87, $4,982 3. Guthrie Murray, Miami, Oklahoma, 82, $3,905 4. Roscoe Jarboe, New Plymouth, Idaho, 70, $2,828

than 3,300 yards of dirt were brought in to build the park.

Now, after a soft opening in May, the club will celebrate the facility’s grand opening Saturday from 6 to 8 p.m.

The celebration features a ribbon cutting by Cody Mayor Matt Hall, jump sessions with local riders, bicycles for demonstration purposes, helmet giveaways by the REACH helicopter crew and other activities. The community is invited, with or without bicycles, to enjoy the festivities. If you have a bicycle, bring it, your helmet and other appropriate safety gear, and test the new park.

There will also be beer from Red Lodge Ales and a cash grill featuring brats and burgers.

The park includes 10 miles of track, three massive jump

lines for all levels of riders — including ramps as large as 6 feet — and a drop zone, which features a series of multi-level platforms and rises for jumping. It cost about $350,000, all raised by the pedalers, who led the maintainance of the trails by coordinating volunteers. Flow Ride Concepts, an international bike park design company, built the jumplines and pump track. Members of the club did most of the work on the single track trail.

“Unstructured recreation is important and it is becoming a rare thing. Kids don’t do much outdoors unless it is a structured activity like soccer, baseball, or other camps. This bike park and trail system is one step in reversing that trend,” John Gallagher, president of the club, said in a news release.

Gallagher said the facility

has been drawing riders “from all over the place.”

James Wells, a 16-year-old who spends a lot of time at the park, didn’t know about the stuggles the club went through to get the trails and skill areas installed, but he thinks they’re awesome.

“It’s a lot better than the sagebrush that was here,” Wells said.

How do you get a 10 rating out of Olichwier, originally from Wisconsin and has been to other bike parks?

“We need another (jump line) that’s even bigger,” said Olichwier, who visits the park four to five times a week. “But this is by far the best one I’ve ever been to.”

Jesus, your high priest

A

lmost all Christians know that the plan of redemption is the most important subject one can ever study. And yet many sincere Christians have little knowledge of God’s remarkable efforts to save us from the death we deserve because of our sins. For many Christians, their theology stops at the cross of Calvary. But the Bible says there is more to the plan of redemption than the cross.

One of Martin Luther’s fellow teachers at the University of Wittenberg, Philip Melancthon, once said, “To know Christ is to know his benefits.”

There are at least two fundamental aspects of Jesus’ total atoning work of salvation. All Christians know the story of his birth in Bethlehem — of how he lived a perfect life on Earth, of his self-sacrifice on the cross which terminated with his resurrection and ascension to heaven.

All of this took place on Earth.

The second aspect of Christ’s atoning work is much more vague. It is being carried out in heaven for us this very moment.

He is presently interceding for us in heaven. By his work there, Jesus shines his love into every soul who offers their prayers heavenward. As the prayers of the sincere and contrite ones ascend to heaven, Christ says to the Father, “I will take their sins. Let them stand before you innocent.” As he takes their sins from them, he fills their hearts with truth and love.

Jesus’ special work of interceding for us in heaven is not some spasmodic occurrence, but constant. It does not stop, day or night. But some day soon he will cease his intercession, and when he does, people will stop being saved. Probation will close forever, and the work Jesus does at the throne of God will be finished. Then he will come to redeem his own.

Keep trusting this special high priest, for only he can save you!
