Residents of Cody home charged with endangering children with meth

S

even local men and women are facing felony charges for allegedly using methamphetamine in a filthy Cody home they were sharing with several young children.

One child found at the home on Sept. 12 was reportedly wearing an overflowing diaper, while all four were described by authorities as being dirty, dehydrated and hungry. Those children — along with a fifth child

the concern here. The concern’s with public safety,” Keegan told defendants Kyle Catanzarite and Samantha Caldwell of Cody, Nikisha Grandpre of Greybull, Travis Tunget and Jacqueline Wilcott of Basin and Edgar Hume Sr. of Cody.

A seventh defendant, Mark Moore, 29, was seen earlier in the week, with his bond set at $10,000 by Circuit Court Judge Bruce Waters. All seven defen-

dants face at least one felony count of endangering children with a controlled substance, alleging they knowingly and willfully allowed children to remain in a dwelling where meth was being stored or used. Between them, the Kent Avenue residents are facing a combined total of 11 felony and 14 misdemeanor charges.

‘LIVED HERE ALL MY LIFE’ She was born Sept. 19, 1917, to Fred and Beulah Kemper at the family’s home near the Corbett Dam in the Powell area.

When she was just a baby, her family moved into Powell and lived on Bent Street.

Her father did electric work on the Buffalo Bill Dam, which was the tallest dam in the world when it was completed in 1910. He also farmed and then worked as a ditch rider.

Onstine grew up attending Powell schools, graduating in 1936.

As a young woman, she helped with chores around her family’s home and others.

“When you were a teenager, you went to work in different homes — babysitting, cooking, washing, ironing,” Onstine said.

Over the years, she worked a variety of jobs, including the Farm Security office.

Some jobs paid about 25 cents per hour.

“You were lucky to get it,” she said.

In the late 1930s, she met Charles W. Onstine, who would become her husband.

“We met at a dance at Ralston, Wyoming,” she recalled. “He looked at me and said, ‘I think it’s time that we danced and get acquainted.’

And we did. Those were good old-time dances.”

Charles worked as a farmer, growing beans and sugar beets.

When looking back on her life, she said she’s most proud of her marriage to Charles, “an awesome husband and loving father.” She also is proud of the five daughters they raised — Sharon, Shirley, Susan, Charla and Mary — and all their accomplishments.

Onstine also is thankful for time with her family and friends.

Today, Onstine has 10 grandchildren, 19 greatgrandchildren (with another on the way), and three greatgreat grandchildren (and one on the way).

Big Horn Ankle and Foot Managing Friction Blisters Active and athletic people often develop friction blisters on their feet. Although such blisters rarely create significant medical problems, they can be quite painful and can limit activity or hinder performance. Friction blisters are especially common when athletes begin new sports, quickly increase activity levels or change athletic shoes.

Preventing blisters mainly depends on reducing friction. Proper shoe fit and sock selection is key. In general, wear a shoe designed for a specific sport or function, rather than using the all purpose or “cross-training” shoe. A narrow, tapered toe box may squeeze toes together causing blisters. On the other hand, too big of a shoe will cause sliding and potential irritation to the ends of the toes.

Shear forces are greatly reduced by wearing

Hiring: Commission debates merits of freeze Continued from Page 1 currently at full staff. However, Steward expects two detention deputies will soon be joining the Cody Police Department and he already has a couple people lined up for the posts.

Commissioners Lee Livingston, Joe Tilden and Jake Fulkerson voted to allow Steward to replace any open positions — at the same level of pay — until January; commissioners Loren Grosskopf and Tim French voted no, in part because they opposed making an exception for the sheriff and in part because they valued the discussion generated by the hiring freeze.

“Granted, the conversation is good and it keeps it in front of everybody that things are tight and we need to be watching that,” said chairman Livingston, who cast the tiebreaking vote.

“But when it starts impacting the effectiveness of our departments in having to wait to come in front of us, then I think we

need to re-address it.”

Under the county’s hiring freeze, elected officials and department heads generally must attend a commission meeting and explain why they need to replace an employee. Grosskopf then asks what would happen if the position went unfilled, and the supervisor explains the challenges that would create.

Amid only a couple dissenting votes, commissioners have approved every single request.

Earlier this month, the commission appeared split on whether to stop the freeze.

If the hiring freeze ends, Grosskopf said he’s concerned “the thought process that, ‘We have a real problem here’ … will get pushed aside and it will just be business as usual.” “... I think that’s one of the benefits of talking about this every time — whether we can forgo a replacement person,” he said.

French agreed, noting how road and bridge recently de-

cided it could try going without a superintendent in the Meeteetse area for at least the coming months.

Commissioner Tilden, however, said he’s leaning toward ending the freeze “because every time somebody comes before us, we ask the same question and we have yet to deny anybody.”

Tilden noted some departments have tried to go without an employee and failed, “which is telling me that we’re running pretty bare-bones with our staffing levels; we’re probably where we need to be.”

The Park County Clerk’s Office tried eliminating a full-time position in the summer of 2016, but the office ultimately got behind on paperwork and was allowed to refill the post months later.

Livingston said the commission would revisit the freeze soon.

As for why she chose to live Onstine’s family and friends recently gathered in Powell to here, Onstine said simply: celebrate her 100th birthday “It’s home.” with a party.

a special “double-layered” sock, available from various manufacturers. Some socks also wick moisture. Polypropylene socks are specially designed to allow air to reach the skin while drawing away moisture and reducing friction.

Padded insoles can decrease local friction and the drying effect of foot powders also provide some degree of protection. Excessive perspiration needs to be controlled as well. Products such as a dilute concentration of aluminum chloride or diluted glutaraldehyde has excellent effects of reducing perspiration of the feet.

Preventing blisters by simple friction reducing measures are easy and effective. If prevention fails, conservative care will lessen pain and disability. If you are having difficulty with friction blisters of your feet, perhaps it is time to consult your local podiatrist.

Meth: One defendant reportedly used meth while pregnant Continued from Page 1 unsuccessfully arguing that $50,000 was too high.

“I think the state's blowing completely out of proportion what the quality of the house was,” said Catanzarite, 30. He was living in the home with Caldwell, 24, and their 1-year-old child.

“I think I could do more good out of jail and working on these issues than in jail,” Catanzarite added.

Caldwell, already serving a term of supervised probation for a felony count of attempting to injure a police officer, asked to be released so she could attend drug treatment.

Wilcott, 25, and Tunget, 30 — the parents of a 3-year-old and 1-year-old found at the home — said they were only temporarily staying there until an unrelated case against Tunget was resolved. They noted they were at the Park County Courthouse at the time police moved in on the Kent Avenue home.

“When we left the house, it was not in disarray,” Tunget said. “We had been gone for a short period of time, so we have no idea what the house was like when it was searched.”

Hume, 47, offered that, “I was sitting in my room with my door closed, as usual.”

Grandpre, the mother of a 5-year-old and a 1-year-old living in the house, also asked to be released to attend a drug treatment program.

“The time to get into rehab is before you use and I understand that you have that desire now, but at this point, there are some safety issues that I think need to be addressed,” Magistrate Keegan told the 23-year-old Grandpre.

Court records indicate the case began three days before the search, when police saw Moore — who is Grandpre’s husband — outside the residence.

In an affidavit submitted to the court, Cody Police Officer Patrick Geraghty says he spotted Moore shortly before 1 p.m. on Sept. 8 and knew the man had an active Big Horn County warrant.

When the officer stopped and got out of his vehicle, Moore reportedly ran away.

At one point in the chase, “I instructed Moore to stop; Moore screamed back, ‘I can’t,’ and continued to flee,” Geraghty wrote.

Eventually, Moore lost Geraghty. The officer decided to wait for more officers “due to the multitude of junk, trailers, campers and vehicles,” he said. Cody police later combed the property — including the home.

“The inside of the house … was [in] complete disarray and very unkempt.

As I searched each room, I had to walk over piles of clothing and other miscellaneous items throughout the house,” Geraghty wrote. The home also had “a peculiar smell” that the officer said he believed was a combination of “mold and unbathed persons.”

The police eventually gave up and left, but they returned around 5 p.m., when an anonymous caller reported that Moore was hiding on the property.

With the informant’s help, officers found Moore in a shed and arrested him.

While en route to the jail, “Moore apologized for fleeing from me earlier in the day, saying he was ‘just scared and he freaked out,’” Geraghty wrote.

Moore said he’d smoked methamphetamine that morning in the home’s at-

tached garage while his two children were inside watching TV, the affidavit alleges.

Police got a search warrant to look for methamphetamine and then returned to the Kent Avenue home in the early afternoon of Sept. 12.

“The home was in complete disarray,” Geraghty wrote in another affidavit. “Contained in each room where the kids were located was trash scattered about to include but not limited to: fish crackers, dirty diapers, cookies, clothing, food wrappers and other miscellaneous items.”

“The conditions ... were very unsanitary and smelled of mold, urine and feces,” he continued. “The floor located in each room had multiple stains and wet spots, of an unknown substance.”

The four children were “extremely dirty” and “each child’s diaper appeared to be unchanged for quite some time and contained copious amounts of urine and feces,” the officer wrote.

The children were taken into protective custody and to West Park Hospital where staffers determined they were dehydrated and hungry, Geraghty wrote.

At the scene, “I advised Hume the house was in deplorable, filthy condition,” Cody Police Officer Scott Burlingame wrote in another affidavit.

“Hume agreed with me and said, just prior to [our] arrival, he was going to gather all of the children in the house up and taken them outside to remove them from the filthy conditions.”

Hume told the cops he’d snorted some methamphetamine a few hours before they arrived, saying he used the drug daily “if possible,” Burlingame alleges in the affidavit.

“Usually it just shows up and we do some,” Hume allegedly said. Police also quote him as saying that meth deals were “not usually” made inside the house.

According to the affidavit, Hume said he’d been sharing a bedroom with Tunget and Wilcott — the parents of two of the children — for a few months.

In that room, police say they found five pipes with residue and a bong that preliminary tested positive for meth, Geraghty wrote.

In the bedroom used by Catanzarite and Caldwell — the parents of a 1-yearold boy — police say they found three glass vials containing a white crystal substance and a glass pipe. When Caldwell was later booked into the jail, “methamphetamine was located inside her bra,” Geraghty wrote. That led to a felony charge of attempting to bring a controlled substance into a detention facility.

Meanwhile, Grandpre — Moore’s wife and the mother of two of the children — admitted to using methamphetamine the previous day, Geraghty wrote. Grandpre also reportedly told authorities she is pregnant, “which is not, oddly enough, a [separate] crime in Wyoming at this point in time,” Pojman, the prosecutor, said in court.

Preliminary hearings for the seven defendants are tentatively set for later this week and early next week.

All of the defendants remained in jail on Monday. Magistrate Keegan noted they’ll have the opportunity to argue for lower bonds once they have court-appointed attorneys representing them.

NWC promoting Suicide Awareness Month

he numbers tell a sobering story.

Wyoming currently ranks first in the nation in suicide rates, with 157 in 2016, according to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. That total equates to more than 28 suicide deaths for every 100,000 people in the state. Suicide is the sixth leading cause of death in Wyoming, the second for ages 15-44; nine times as many people die by suicide in Wyoming as homicide.

September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, and Northwest College is doing its part to spread the word. For World Suicide Prevention Day on Sept. 10, the Student Success Center, in collaboration with the residence life staff, provided flameless LED candles for students’ windows in the residence halls.

“We just wanted to do something that would act as a subtle remembrance, as well as an opportunity to get information out to students,” explained Kim Fletcher, disability support services coordinator. “It’s a good way to get the message out to them with some resources that are available.”

As part of a world-wide effort called, “Take a Minute, Change a Life,” students were asked to join with people all around the world by placing the candles in their window at 8 p.m. to show their support for suicide prevention, to remember a lost loved one and for the survivors of suicide. Information attached to the candles provided local and national resources, including the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline phone number.

“The candles add to what the Student Success Center is already doing, such as QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) training for the residence life staff,” Fletcher said. “The training teaches staff what to look for in students that are suicidal, how to talk to them. We’re trying to give them a way to deal with it and get the person to the treatment that they need.”

The Student Success Center considered hosting a large event or a walk for World Suicide Prevention Day, but chose instead to go with the “Take a Minute, Change a Life” candle initiative.

Northwest College students were encouraged to place LED candles in their windows to promote awareness on World Suicide Prevention Day Sept. 10. The candles will remain lit in windows throughout the month. Photo courtesy Kim Fletcher “It’s subtle, but it creates a presence and running it all month long, it has an impact on the campus,” Fletcher said. In addition to being distributed to residence halls, candles were also taken to the administration offices, “so it would be something faculty, staff and students could participate in together,” she said.

Students coming to college are dealing with more and more problems, according to Fletcher. Mental illness, depression and anxiety are just a few of the issues students are combating and, in leaving their support systems, the transition can be difficult.

“It’s a really critical time, especially at the start of a school year, to be aware,” Fletcher said. “We will be doing different things throughout the year to focus on those issues, such as screenings to help point students in the right direction who are having problems.”

At least once a year the counseling staff sets up in a key location on campus and offers a free depression screening for students, she said. Students that score high on depression, anxiety and bi-polar disorder criteria are either seen in the counseling office or referred to

a local provider. The counseling staff maintains a presence around campus through programs in the residence halls and participation in campus events, as well as working closely with Yellowstone Behavioral Health Center, a local provider of mental health services.

“It’s something we want to think about all the time,” Fletcher said. “And with state funding down for suicide prevention, in different areas like the schools and the colleges, we need to be aware of that and try to get the word out there and be there and available for the students so they don’t fall through the cracks.”

Every other month, the Suicide Prevention Alliance meets at the Student Success Center.

The meetings help the counseling staff keep current on what is going on in Powell and Cody with suicide awareness and determine what the college and students can do to help.

“In our state and in our county, suicide is a very big thing,” Fletcher said. “It’s really kind of tragic that we’re losing the funding, but you have to do the grassroots things you can do that don’t cost a lot of money to raise awareness.”

Eclipse was a time for wingnuts, UFO landing sites, phenomena in Wyoming

I

IN OUR OPINION

A community that cares: From our backyard to across the country The one-two punch of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, while mindboggling in the devastation caused, will also be remembered for the ordinary, everyday people who stepped up to help their friends, neighbors and complete strangers in their hours of need.

As we’ve seen after tragedies that resonate nationwide, Americans are at their best when circumstances are at their worst.

Politics, race, gender and social status take a back seat when disaster strikes, be it the attacks of 9/11 or the aftermath of such natural disasters as Hurricane Katrina and Superstorm Sandy.

Across the country, relief efforts came pouring in — in the form of monetary donations, food and clothing and people traveling to storm-torn areas of Houston and Florida to do what they could to assist in helping to restore any semblence of a normal life for families and individuals who lost everything.

Here in Powell, local churches reached out to their congregations for help, and were rewarded for their efforts. At Powell Middle School, students and staff donated various items to the Aldine Independent School District in Houston, a district that counts 75 schools, from pre-school through high school, in its numbers. Northwest College men’s basketball head coach Brian Erickson grabbed a couple of friends and made the trip to Houston, spending several days donating their time and energy to clean-up efforts.

In short, many did what they could to help. And that Good Samaritan spirit continues in all aspects of everyday life. When Glen Gresly suffered a medical emergency and drove his truck into Garland Canal, bystanders on the scene didn’t hesitate to jump in and pull the unconscious driver to safety. Just this weekend, Terresa Humphries-Wadsworth completed her trek across Wyoming to promote suicide awareness and prevention. At NWC, students and members of the men’s soccer team volunteered to help with Homesteader Days clean-up last weekend, and the campus is also bringing awareness to Suicide Prevention Month by placing candles in office and residence halls windows.

The list goes on. From major contributions to the smallest everyday acts of kindness, from flying to Houston or Florida to donate time and effort, to paying for the order of the car behind you in the McDonald’s drive-thru line, folks in Powell and across the nation are proving that we truly are a country that cares about one another, regardless of the things in life that continue to divide us.

As Houston and Florida begin the long process of rebuilding, donations are still being accepted through the American Red Cross and other relief efforts, as the costs will be massive. According to The New York Times, Congress has allocated $15 billion to hurricane relief, a drop in the bucket of what could potentially top out as a $300 billion bill. Our government will have to get creative with spending reforms, as well as deciding how and where to distribute the money they do have.

And, as always, the kindness and generosity of strangers will be more important than ever in helping those affected by these events as they struggle to begin anew.

For all that you do, Powell, we thank you.

s it any wonder that a place as wondrous and unique as Wyoming would be the site 40 years ago for the filming of the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind?

We traveled across the state last week in a grand loop which took us to Devils Tower, the country’s first national monument, which was the reason that movie was filmed there.

This tower, called Bear Lodge by the Indians, is just plain odd.

It looks like a giant tree trunk (made of hardened lava) that juts out of the ground to over 800 feet high in the middle of the Wyoming Black Hills.

It was the country’s first national monument back in 1912. And of course a huge Facebook rumor went out this year where it was claimed that archeologists discovered it really was a tree trunk with petrified roots deep underground.

Alas, not true.

But first, let me tell you about our latest road trip around the state. Our drive took us through Wind River Canyon to Thermopolis and Worland and over the Big Horn Mountains to Buffalo and Gillette before getting to Devils Tower. Our trip home was through Hulett, Moorcroft, Gillette, Wright, Casper, Shoshoni and Riverton.

That route took me through

left the next day, which were not included in the record counts compiled by the Wyoming Department of Transpiration.

Also on the list of wingnuts, there was the report of a man jumping off a cliff in central Wyoming at an abandoned uranium open pit mine. Apparently there was water in the bottom, but he missed and scratched the heck out of himself. Luckily, a passer-by saw the leap and called 911.

Meanwhile, the partying continued back at Devils Tower as they celebrated the 40th anniversary of the famous movie. Among the contests was one to see who could make the best replica of the tower out of mashed potatoes. Now that could be a real test.

With the country and the world focused on hurricanes Harvey and Irma in Texas and Florida, there really is not much interest in what is happening here in Wyoming. But I thought it important to document some of the oddball events that have been going on here in the last month.

would be available to help grow other industries, too.

Our current and future generations of highly skilled workers would have more opportunities to stay in Wyoming, working in high-quality Wyoming jobs.

Meanwhile, state and county permit regulations — reinforced in Wyoming legislation passed in 2010 — help assure that environmental impacts of wind farms are analyzed, addressed and mitigated to the extent practicable, not only before, but during and after construction.

Wyoming and the nation have long benefited from our mineral wealth. More recently we have benefited from growth in manufacturing, data and software technology industries. We now have the opportunity to lead again in our energy economy.

Supporting responsible development of the wind power industry with significant accompanying supply chain industry growth opportunities will benefit Wyoming for generations to come. Wyoming wind power will help lead Wyoming to a broader, more diversified economic future for generations to come.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Veterans being mistreated by VA Dear Editor: I am a disabled veteran with many concerns about the Veterans Administration and how their actions and inactions are leading to many disabled and non-disabled veterans not receiving adequate care and compensation.

Just recently, I learned that the VA facility here in Powell will no longer be servicing our veterans after about another month. The reasons and decision to move the facility to Cody has not been made clear, but I have come across evidence that Powell Valley Healthcare had a lower bid and costs to provide the services.

I called the Sheridan VA CBOC administrator and he was not willing to share the information forthright without having to go through legal measures and a FOIA request to obtain the information used in the contracting processes.

Many veterans will be losing continuity of care. This is a big issue in and of itself, with re-establishing health care and relationships, medicine regimens, doctor-to-patient relationships, scheduling issues and the list goes on. There was no public hearing or even hearing which veterans’

voices of concern could be heard.

Veterans are being mistreated or not treated and not compensated for their injuries incurred during their active duty military service.

They are being forced to appeal unlawful decisions and not getting their appeals heard for up to five years or more. They are not being able to go outside of the VA with the Choice Program, because the local system will not grant those requests. The Choice Program was developed for this very reason.

Their appointments with their medical providers have been reduced and cut in the interest of saving budgets.

The VA here in Wyoming is unwilling or unable to attract qualified doctors and are relying on less qualified persons. Not to carry on in a rant, I have asked the CBOC director to contact the public affairs office for the Sheridan VA to reach out to the newspapers of the Big Horn Basin and to explain their actions, inactions and why we will be losing a valuable asset here in Powell. Please reach out to the Sheridan VA and get information so we can reach out to our local veterans and help them get what was promised to them.

Very Respectfully, Harold Bjork Powell

‘In Search of Civility’ discussion Sunday Four retired elected officials will lead a Sunday forum to encourage civil discourse.

“In Search of Civility,” will take place from 3-4:30 p.m. in the Coe Auditorium at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West. The free public forum will feature a panel discussion by former U.S. Sen. Alan Simpson, Mike Sullivan, who served as Wyoming’s governor and U.S ambassador to Ireland, former Cody Mayor Nancy Tia Brown and Dossie Overfield, who served as the chair of the Cody school board. The Hon. Steve Cranfill, who recently retired as Park County’s district court judge, will moderate the event.

A question-and-answer session will follow introductions and opening remarks. The event is sponsored by Wyoming Rising — Northwest, a nonprofit group dedicated to promoting civility in politics, educating voters and elected officials on the issues, and working toward better government.

“It’s a timely subject that’s on the mind of many, and I’m happy to be a part of the program,” Cranfill said.

Wyoming Rising — Northwest is an outgrowth of the Jan. 21 march in Cody City Park, when more than 500 adults and children from northern Wyoming and southern Montana gathered in solidarity with sister marches nation- and worldwide, said Harriet Bloom-Wilson, the group’s CEO. Their attendance showed concern that the country must move beyond the vitriol and divisiveness of the 2016 presidential election, said a press re-

lease from Wyoming Rising — Northwest.

“Our over-arching goal is the promotion of civil discourse, with the hopes of finding common ground among citizens and encouraging dialogue among politicians,” Bloom-Wilson said. “To that end, we’re hosting the forum where leaders with proven records will share their experiences and their insight.”

She said the group is “honored that five such distinguished leaders will meet with community members, listen to their concerns and respond to their questions.”

“We hope the outcome will be a commitment to work together, to listen to each other and to communicate respectfully. We all love our country and recognize that an involved, informed electorate committed to civil dialogue is imperative to her future,” Bloom-Wilson continued.

She said the group’s initial plan was to show a Wyoming PBS program, “Reviving Civility in Politics … is it possible?” that aired last fall and featured Simpson and Sullivan. However, the group decided to change the format and sponsor a panel discussion since the political scene has changed.

Those planning to attend Sunday’s forum are encouraged to watch the PBS show, which is available online, and come with written questions for the panelists.

“This occasion should generate some lively discussions among the panelists and some engaged participation by the audience,” Bloom-Wilson said.

Mock trial: Fictitious energy drink dispute High schoolers participating in this year’s Wyoming Mock Trial will argue over whether an energy drink manufacturer is responsible for permanent injuries to a teenager.

The fictitious case, Johnson vs.

JJJ Beverages, will be presented

by Wyoming high school teams at a Nov. 18 competition in Cheyenne. They’ll battle for the state mock trial title and a chance to represent Wyoming in the National High School Mock Trial tournament in Reno, Nevada, in May. Any high school team of six to eight students, in eighth through 12th grades, may compete. Wyoming judges and attorneys preside over and score the rounds, as teams present both the plaintiff’s and defense’s sides of the case.

This fictitious dispute involves a high school debate team member who suffered heart problems after drinking at least two cans of Jackalope Java Juice — a drink that “gives you a jump on your competition” with 300 milligrams of caffeine in every serving. In the scenario, the freshman’s parents are suing drink maker “JJJ Beverages” for damages.

“Mock trial is an important component of civics education, as students gain a basic understanding of the legal mechanism that society and government uses to resolve disputes and apply laws,” event organizers say.

KATH ELECTED TO LEADERSHIP POSITION WITH STATE BAR R. Scott Kath, an attorney from Powell, has been elected as a commissioner of the Wyoming State Bar, representing the Fifth Judicial District, which consists of Park, Big Horn, Hot Springs and Washakie counties. He will serve a three-year term.

Kath received his Juris Doctor degree at the University of Wyoming College of Law in May of 1983, then moved to Powell in January 1984. He joined the Copenhaver Law Office and soon became a partner at the firm, which is now known as Copenhaver, Kath, Kitchen and Kolpitcke.

He has served as an assistant public defender since 1984 and as Powell’s deputy city attorney since 1989. Kath has served as a hearing examiner for the State of Wyoming Office of Administrative Hearings from 2006 to date.

Kath has been actively involved in the legal profession, including leadership positions with the Park County Bar Association and the Wyoming State Bar Foundation. Kath has also involved himself in local community service, having served on the boards of Park County Big Brother and Big Sisters, Park County Mental Health and Northwest Family Planning. Together with his wife, Meg, he has been a host family for Rotary exchange students and for several Northwest College volleyball players.

Kath succeeds attorney Bobbi Overfield of Thermopolis as the Big Horn Basin’s representative on the state bar’s board of commissioners.

In other changes announced at the Wyoming State Bar’s annual business meeting last week, Weston Graham of Sheridan was chosen as president-elect while Robert Jarosh of Cheyenne was elected as president for 2017-18.

BRIEFLY Eagles subject of Buffalo Bill State Park program A discussion on bald and golden eagles at Buffalo Bill State Park has been rescheduled for 7 p.m. Saturday at the Trout Creek Group Shelter.

Poor weather forced organizers to give up on plans to hold the event last weekend.

Retired U.S. Forest Service biologist Marynell Oechsner will talk about the life, habitat and habits of bald and golden

eagles in the area.

For more information about the program, contact Buffalo Bill State Park at 307-587-9227.

Health forces Afton lawmaker to resign A state lawmaker from Afton “can no longer continue his service due to health reasons” and has resigned his position, the Wyoming Republican Party announced Thursday.

Celebrate the spectacle of migrating birds of prey on Saturday in Yellowstone National Park’s Hayden Valley. The Hawk Watch is a spectacular opportunity to observe and learn about raptors, their ecology and their migration, park officials say.

Park staff will start the day at 9 a.m. at the Fishing Bridge Visitor Center with a presentation on raptor identification tips. Afterwards, participants will travel north to Hayden Valley to look for the raptors that fly through Yellowstone each fall.

Park rangers will observe raptors with visitors at a road pull-out in Hayden Valley from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. The spot is 9 miles north of Fishing Bridge Junction and 6.6 miles south of Canyon Junction. Look for signs, spotting scopes and uniformed rangers at the program location.

Visitors may want to bring a lawn chair, water, snacks and binoculars. Both programs are free to attend. For more information, call Katy Duffy at 307-699-2696.

Peaks: Group behind schedule after drawn-out debate Continued from Page 1 acres of the study area in the peaks would be turned into permanent wilderness while another 15,000 acres would become a less restricted special management area.

In the final negotiations to reach a consensus, the size of the wilderness area was increased, giving up the Division Ridge mountain bike trail and turning an access double-track road, on the southeastern side of the WSA, into an administrative access road. That was in exchange for a primitively maintained, buffered or cherry stemmed, primitive road that already exists, crossing the northern section of the wilderness.

“It is one of the last areas in Park County that we can have a true wilderness,” Harrison said.

That part of the McCullough Peaks is popular with some — mostly for horseback trips, all-terrain vehicles, hikers and mountain bikers — but use has been very limited in the past.

“There’s not much use of any kind that we’ve seen or heard of,” committee member and community cycling advocate John Gallagher said.

Roads are pot-holed and rocky through the area. Most are double-track and only passable by specialized fourwheel-drive vehicles or off-road motorcycles and bicycles. When wet, the roads and trails become slicker than snot.

Gallagher is pushing for a new mountain bike trail in the special management area. The trail would be on the north part of the WSA, close to Powell.

“If you don’t create a trail, people will create their own,” Gallagher said.

Christine Bekes, board member and Powell resident, is all for recreation close to Powell.

“From Powell’s perspective, it really is our front country for recreation. Right now I can be on my mountain bike and be on a trail in 10 minutes,” she said.

One area resident voiced concerns about the proposal during a public comment period at the end of the meeting.

“We’re giving up something I’ve had all my life,” said Tate McCoy of Powell.

McCoy and his family make several trips across the peaks to Cody via ATVs yearly, he said.

“I don’t understand why we’re going to close existing roads in the name of protecting something that’s already been corrupted. I don’t want to lose

what I already have,” McCoy said.

No mechanized travel — including bicycles — would be allowed in the part of the peaks designated as wilderness.

Shaleas Harrison, a staffer with the Wyoming Wilderness Association in Laramie and Karinthia Harrison’s sister, came to support keeping the area as wild as possible.

“You are negotiating the fates of these two wilderness [areas],” Shaleas Harrison said.

“When you try to make decisions for the future, knowing that it’s the last available space for wilderness solitude, that means something.”

A consensus on the draft proposal was achieved several months late, committee chairman Bucky Hall said. During several long months, committee members fought for their interests. The self-imposed deadline was set at the beginning of the process. Frustration during the extensive debate — centered mostly on the size and treatment of the wilderness area in the peaks — lasted three months longer than expected and led to some board attrition, Hall said.

“If the law goes through, it will take an act of Congress,” said Hall, a former county commissioner. “The BLM does periodically change how they manage property, depending on who’s in the White House.”

The draft version of the proposed borders will now be posted online for public comment while the committee turns its attention to the High Lakes wilderness study area for similar treatment. The roughly 14,700 acre area is located in the Beartooth Mountains inside the Shoshone National Forest.

The two WSAs were identified decades ago and have gone without action since.

After public comment and possible changes made after the process, the advisory committee will send their recommendations to the Park County Commissioners. Once there, the commissioners can accept the recommendations, make some changes or come up with their own plan and then forward the results to the Wyoming County Commissioners Association (WCCA).

The WCCA, representing eight counties that have joined in the effort, will then send legislation to Congress and hope to have their bill made into law.

The process could take another two years, if ever. Participating counties are Washakie, Teton, Sublette, Johnson, Hot Springs, Fremont, Carbon, Campbell and Park. The WCCA hopes to have all requests in by the beginning of the year, Hall said.

“If we refuse to move backwards from now on, we can meet the timeline,” committee member JD Radakovich said.

Sen. Mike Enzi’s bill would let small businesses join up for insurance U.S. Sen. Mike Enzi, RWyo., introduced legislation on Thursday that he says would allow small businesses to work together to provide better health care for their employees.

The Small Business Health Plans bill would allow multiple small businesses to pool their employees, across multiple states, to purchase health insurance coverage in a large

group market. Banding businesses together “would provide them with the negotiating power that they could never have on their own, which in turn benefits their employees,” Enzi said.

Enzi said he’s heard from small businesses for years about the need for greater flexibility and more options in providing health insurance

efore announcing finalized plans on the upcoming road construction at and near Yellowstone National Park’s Fishing Bridge, park superintendent Dan Wenk invited concerned members of Park County agencies to the site of the historic bridge for a personal meeting.

Local business and government leaders were concerned that early road closures or delays on the improvement project could turn visitors away from the park’s East Entrance and Cody. Closing Fishing Bridge cuts off the rest of the park from the entrance.

“We just asked that they please put out as much information as possible and signs for the people that they don’t imply that the East Entrance is closed for two years — so that they do their best through their website and everything they can do to let everybody know it’s just a short stretch there and possible short delays,” Park County Commissioner Tim French said of the Sept. 5 meeting with Wenk.

Beyond commissioners, invitees included representatives from the Cody Country Chamber of Commerce, Forward Cody and the Park County Travel Council. Concerns about the

economic impact on the area were at a fever pitch earlier this summer with worries the road could be closed as early as Sept.

15 during the construction. “[Wenk] wanted us to know we were important to them. We all took time out of our schedule to face time — which is really important to building relationships,” said Tina Hoebelheinrich, executive director of the Cody chamber.

The final version of the plans call for sporadic, short term delays of up to 30 minutes during peak visitation months and then a complete closure of the East Entrance road beginning Oct. 15, 2018, through the first week of November, depending on weather.

“The Oct. 15 closure date is much better than Sept. 15,” Hoebelheinrich said. “October hasn’t gained the momentum that September has.”

In the first part of September, the community is packed with park visitors, Hoebelheinrich said; in the second part of September, Cody celebrates Rendezvous Royale, a week-long arts celebration. October sees a dramatic decrease in visitors to the gateway to Yellowstone.

“Advocacy really does work.

Once communication is going both ways, it’s easier to understand what both sides need,” Hoebelheinrich said. “He went out of his way to let us know he

heard us and I felt confident coming out of the meeting.”

Park County Commission Chairman Lee Livingston, however, said he was “disappointed” and still concerned about the delays.

“The closure’s one thing, but I think the delays will be more impactful ... throughout the summer,” Livingston said. He said the Park Service apparently will not be conducting a study of the project’s economic impacts on tourism, as the commission had requested.

“I didn’t learn anything new from him [Wenk] that I didn’t hear from him in May,” Livingston said.

Improvements will be made to a 3.6 mile segment of the East Entrance Road. Yellowstone’s goal is to address safety concerns and improve vehicle access, reconnect the wetlands of the Pelican Creek drainage by building a 1,500 foot viaduct and allow the creek to naturally migrate within its floodplain, and provide better nature viewing opportunities along the road.

Park officials also hope to maintain the historic character of the bridge and other historic resources in the project area, while providing increased access for larger vehicles.

The Federal Highway Administration will fund and oversee the estimated $40 to $45 million project. Roadwork is expected to begin next spring.

coverage to their employees.

“Cost is clearly an issue when purchasing health insurance, so we need to find ways to help them get lower prices,” he said.

Enzi called small businesses the backbone of many Wyoming communities, citing the importance of supporting them so they can thrive and continue to grow the economy.

LADY PANTHERS KEEP ADDING TO THE LIST 14 SWIMMERS CURRENTLY QUALIFIED FOR STATE

BY BREANNE THIEL Tribune Sports Writer

T

he Lady Panthers swim team hosted a dual against Worland Thursday, coming up just six points short of the Lady Warriors’ total of 96. Rachel Kuntz also became the Powell High School team’s 14th state qualifier with a dramatic improvement in time.

“We were disappointed to lose the dual meet,” said head coach Bob Smartt.

“However, Worland is probably the second or third best 3A team in the state, so they are a noble competitor.”

Event winners were Aspen Aguirre

(2:21.97) in the 200 freestyle, Caitlyn Miner (1:07.64) in the 100 butterfly and the 200 freestyle relay team of Rylie Kannard, Anna Fuller, Kendyl Bohlman and Elizabeth Liggett (1:57.38).

Smartt said “the swim of the meet was accomplished by sophomore Rachel Kuntz in the 100 butterfly event, where she placed third with a time of 1:12.33.

Her previous best time was a 1:19.29.”

Kuntz became the Lady Panthers’ seventh qualifier in the 100 butterfly. “[Kuntz] has been a leader in practice and her strong work ethic is showing in

her big time improvement,” Smartt said.

In total, the team had seven athletes who achieved 11 state cuts: Aguirre in the 200 freestyle and 100 backstroke; Elizabeth Liggett in both the 200 IM and the 500 freestyle; Miner in diving, 100 butterfly, 100 backstroke and in the 100 yard freestyle, with her lead time of 1:00.32 in the 4x100 freestyle relay.

Kuntz and Bohlman both qualified in the 100 butterfly, while JuliaKay O’Neill qualified in diving, 100 backstroke and 100 butterfly.

“On the day, we had 15 athletes with

urnovers proved costly for the Powell High School football team on the road against Buffalo Friday, as the Bison took advantage of the miscues for a 26-0 shutout.

Despite the score, the Panthers defense played tough, keeping the team in the game.

“It’s quite deceiving looking at the score if you hadn’t seen the game, because the first 12 points on the board were either field goals or 10-yard drives to score,” said PHS head coach Chanler B u c k .

‘It’s quite “ W e w e r e deceiving pretty looking at frustratthe score if ed about t h a t . you hadn’t Speakseen the ing for the kids game ...’ too, they Chanler Buck w e r e Head coach pretty frustrated knowing that they could shut them down defensively.”

To start the game, Powell received the ball, but fumbled it away to Buffao on the third offensive play. Buffalo started on the 4-yard line with a first and goal, but the Powell defense held the Bison to a field goal and a 3-0 lead.

With 2:55 left in first quarter, Buffalo scored a touchdown to take a 9-0 lead. Powell fumbled again on its next possession and Buffalo recovered the ball on Powell’s 14-yard line. However, the Panther defense pushed the Bison back, forcing Buffalo to try a 28-yard field goal attempt.

The Panthers then blocked the kick, preventing the Bison from increasing the lead.

The score after the first quarter was 9-0 Buffalo.

With 9:43 remaining in the second quarter, Powell fumbled the ball again and Buffalo recovered it on the Panthers’ 13-yard line. The fumble led to another Bison field goal and a 12-0 lead.

fter a tough loss to Billings Senior on Tuesday, the Lady Panthers volleyball team bounced back in Buffalo on Friday, outlasting the Lady Bison in a five-set battle.

PHS 3, BUFFALO 2 “All three teams came ready to play in Buffalo Friday night,” said Powel High School head volleyball coach Randi Bonander. “The freshmen won in three sets, the JV won in two sets and the varsity won in five sets.”

The Lady Panther varsity won the first set 25-17.

“Rachel Bonander had three stuff blocks early in the first set which kept the momentum in our direction,” coach Bonander said.

The second set also went to the Lady Panthers 25-21.

“The varsity started off strong dominating the first two sets,” said coach Bonander.

Bonander attributed the wins in the first two sets to Jazlyn Haney and Hartly Thorington having “dominated and finding holes in their defense.

Alli Sommerville, Natalie Birdsley and Aubrie Stenerson executed consistent passes so Jordan Walsh could keep mov-

ing the sets around to different hitters. On defense, Brooke Sweet, Natalie Ostermiller and Jordan Walsh made necessary adjustments.”

However, the next two sets went to the Lady Bison, 25-21 each.

“Buffalo came back and turned the momentum by taking advantage of some of our defensive areas,” Bonander said. “They won the next two sets by splitting our blockers on the net so it was more difficult to close blocks and took advantage of our inconsistent hitting.”

With each team having won two sets, a fifth tiebreaker set was needed to determine the victor. Powell came out strong and won it, 15-9, coach Bonander said.

BILLINGS SENIOR 3, PHS 0 The Lady Panthers welcomed Montana Class AA powerhouse Billings Senior to the Panther Gym Tuesday, Sept.

12, falling to the Lady Broncs in three straight games.

“Billings Senior has a much larger population of students and area to draw from, so we knew they would be tough competition,” said coach Bonander, adding that “they also have a tradition of

State tennis begins Wednesday in Gillette

T

he North Regional Tennis Tournament in Sheridan was canceled last week due to poor weather conditions.

The state tournament begins at 4 p.m. Wednesday in Gillette with “pigtail” matches between the eighth and ninth seeded singles and doubles players in their regions. The losers of those matches will either not continue to play in the state tournament or will be transfered over to the South Regional Tournament to fill that bracket.

With the addition of Thunder Basin High School there are now nine teams in the north — Powell, Cody, Jackson, Riverton, Sheridan, Campbell County, Kelly Walsh, Natrona County and Thunder Basin — necessitating the need for pigtail matches.

The state tournament will

run from Wednesday through Saturday.

The Powell High School tennis team’s conference records and seeding for each of the slots heading into the state tournament follow below.

PANTHERS No. 1 singles Jesse Brown, seeded fourth, 5-3 record No. 2 singles Rhett Pimentel, seeded second, 7-1 record No. 1 doubles James Sheets and Aaron Jacobsen, seeded first, 8-0 record No. 2 doubles Dylan Preator and Aidan Jacobsen, seeded fifth, 4-4 record No. 3 doubles Wade Musso and Nathaniel Whitham, seeded third, 6-2 record LADY PANTHERS No. 1 singles Hattie Pimentel, seeded fourth, 5-3 record No. 2 singles Lauren Asher, seeded fourth, 4-4 record No. 1 doubles Sierra Sanders and Shayla Shoopman, seeded fifth, 4-4 record No. 2 doubles Sloane Asay and Heidi Barrus, seeded fifth, 4-4 record No. 3 doubles Hailee Paul and Ashley Dunkerley, seeded sixth, 3-5 record

aking their best showing in five years, the Powell High School boys golf team finished seventh at the Class 3A State Golf Tournament in Douglas last week; meanwhile, the two members of the girls team finished a season of individual improvement.

Though it was the boys’ best team finish since 2012, PHS golf coach Troy Hildebrand thought his boys’ squad could sneak into a top five finish. The Panthers finished 12 strokes out of fourth place.

“We played pretty poorly in nice weather Thursday with our highest team total of the year,” Hildebrand said. “The boys did a great job of bouncing back Friday, but we just had too much ground to make up.”

Due to concerns about poor weather, the Wyoming High School Activities Association moved the state golf tournament up to Thursday and Friday (from Friday-Saturday), eliminating a Thursday practice round.

Hildebrand said he agreed with the decision, as the golfers “got at least one nice warm, calm day on Thursday with temperatures near 80. Friday was much cooler and breezy, but we did dodge the rain for the most part.”

“Weather wound up not really being a factor this year which was the goal with that decision,” Hildebrand added; last year’s state tournament in Powell was cut short to a one-day event because of weather.

Lander won the boys title with a total score of 671, led by state champion freshman Jeron Caulkins, who finished 1 over par for the two days. Hudson Roling of Thermopolis — and formerly of Powell — took second with a 4-over total; Roling’s play included a hole-in-one Saturday. The Lady Tigers also won the state championship.

On Thursday, the runners competed in the Lander Invitational, Monday brought the Rocky Mountain Invitational and on Friday, both teams will compete in the Worland Invitational.

Powell’s Kayla Kolpitcke and Alan Merritt each ran to second place individually in Lander last week on the boys and girls sides, respectively.

PANTHER GIRLS GAIN EXPERIENCE

PANTHERS The Panthers shot a 401 on Thursday and a 371 on Friday, finishing seventh out of the 13 teams with a combined score of 772.

Worland placed sixth with a score of 763, Cody was fifth with a score of 762 and in fourth place was Pinedale with 760.

Powell was not the only team that struggled Thursday, with Hildebrand adding, “even though we posted higher scores, we did at least stay in the mix.”

Junior Rob Sessions shot a 93 on Thursday and a 90 on Friday to finish 18th.

“He put a lot of work in this summer and saw some very good growth this year,” Hildebrand said. “He has a ton of potential, and it will be exciting to see where his game is next fall. A few stray shots here and there are keeping him above 85 right now and I think that will be a different story in the future.”

Senior Treven Keeler shot a 104 on Thursday and a 92 on Friday, bouncing back from a tough first nine holes.

“His improvement in his career is remarkable,” Hildebrand said. “His tournament average as a freshman was around 125 and this year he is at 94. Treven should be very proud of his career and earning

PHS FB: Face off against Evanston Friday night for homecoming

Will be returning great experience in the fall of 2018

Continued from Page 9

Continued from Page 9 all-conference honors this year.”

Reece Hackenberg shot 10393; Hildebrand said Hackenberg did a great job of finding ways to avoid big numbers on day two. “[Hackenberg] is a very competitive young man and I know I can always count on him to battle through each round,” Hildebrand said. “He’s gotten better each year and I expect him to come back next year at another level.”

Bennett Walker posted rounds of 101 and 96. That included a back nine score of 42 — the Powell team’s best nine holes of the tournament — on Friday.

Hildebrand said the “42 is much more in line with what [Walker] is capable of and what we’ll be looking for in the future.

In the end, this was easily his best season so far and he should have a great idea of what to expect of himself in 2018.”

Crandell Sanders shot 105 and 98. Hildebrand said the sophomore showed a lot of growth.

“I know he expects a lot of himself but he is still growing as a player and as hard as he works his best golf is definitely ahead of him,” the coach said, adding that Sanders will be looked to as a leader in 2018.

“We should be returning great experience next year and these guys [Sessions, Walker, Hackenberg and Sanders] have one more year together which is really good for our team,” Hildebrand said.

LADY PANTHERS On the girls side, Hildebrand said he “could not have been happier with the tournament and season” that Mycah Wainscott and Kaitlyn Church put together.

“They each had one tournament round of experience coming into this fall,” Hildebrand said. “Both of them improved a great deal this fall and as sophomores it is exciting to have two more years with them.”

Wainscott shot a 108 on Thursday and a 115 on Friday.

“She was tied for 10th after the first round and really kept her composure on Friday,” Hildebrand said. “She had a very tough final hole that pushed her total over 110 but overall for her first state tournament, [Wainscott] did a fantastic job.”

The coach added that Wainscott “got better each week on courses she had never seen” — including a highlight of winning All Conference honors.

Kaitlyn Church posted rounds of 134-130. “[Church] hung right in there and put together two good rounds for her,” said Hildebrand, adding “she had two very tough holes in each round or she could very well have been under 120 each day.”

The coach praised Church’s character and attitude adding that, if she plays golf next summer, “I think she will show incredible growth.”

For next season, Hildebrand said “we’ll be looking to pick up one or two more girls before next fall to see about being able to post a team score.”

Good Old Boys On their 20th week of play at the Powell Golf Club, the Good Old Boys played a game of “Mutt and Jeff.” The four-man teams counted all four of their net scores on the par 3s and par 5s as their team score.

Winning the day, with a score of 122, were Ken Rochlitz, Mike Hernandez, Ray Nelson and Jerry Linsdau.

Following right on their heels, at 123, were two teams who tied for second place: Larry Hedderman, Kevin Lineback, Bob Mason and Lloyd Snyder and a team of Marc Saylor, Clark Jeffs and Tom Bibbey, with a draw of Rochlitz.

Paul Devoss, Buddy Rae, Tony Waller and Joe Bailey took fourth with a score of 125.

Rochlitz shot the low gross round of 82, while Bibbey and Waller shot a low net score of 69.

scoring again until late in the fourth quarter.

“We saw some flashes of some really good things on the offensive side of the ball, but inconsistencies, and some selfdiscipline and things like that really made a big difference in key situations,” Buck said.

With 3:26 remaining in the game, Buffalo scored a touchdown to increase the lead 19-0; with 55 seconds left, the Bison returned an interception for a 68-yard touchdown to end the scoring at 26-0.

“They played a really good defensive game but [we] just gave them plenty of opportunities to put some points up on the board,” Buck said. “Offensively it took us some time to get things going and then once we did, it was kind of self-inflicted issues again.”

The Powell offense fumbled the ball eight times, with four fumbles recovered by the Bison. The four lost fumbles and two interceptions accounted for Powell’s six turnovers in the game.

Powell had a total of 199 yards on offense — 102 rushing and 97 passing.

Coming into the game, Ray Rabou of Buffalo led the state in rushing yards, averaging 115.5 yards per game and 231 total yards. The Powell defense cut

PHS XC: Gaining confidence Continued from Page 9 of 19:47.00 in his 24th overall placement. Colin Queen finished fifth among his teammates and 35th among all the competitors with a time of 20:34.08.

Lane Franks finished 40th posting a time of 21:06.75 and Brian Brazelton finished 43rd in 21:24.78.

Each team was allowed to enter up to seven runners, with the top five counting toward the team’s score. Powell’s varsity line-up is determined by the top seven fastest times from the previous race. At Lander, two of the JV runners — Jesse Erickson (fourth among the JV competitors in 20:32.88) and Eyob Robirds (ninth in 21:05.59) — posted faster times.

“It’s nice to have all of those [boys] compete for those top spots, because it’s good for everybody as far as training and how well you compete in a meet,” said PHS head coach Cliff Boos. Of the JV and varsity runners, Boos added that, “I just love their enthusiasm and they are just working together as a team.”

The coach said his runners are gaining confidence and consistency, and thinks they feel good about how the season is progressing as their race times are improving.

Also running in the JV race were: Matthew Hobbs (24th in 22:15.85), Jaxton Braten (35th in 22:57.38, Riley McKeen (50th in 24:18.10), Isaac Summers (63rd in 26:12.82), Ethan Thiel (65th in 26:30.76) and Tarren Blackmore (69th in 27:10.04).

LADY PANTHERS The Lady Panthers have been battling injuries and illnesses all season, and in Lander, only two of the team’s runners were able to complete the race.

Kolpitcke placed second overall out of 41 runners with a time of 22:27.12 and Natalie Dillivan finished 25th with a time of 26.40.22 With the season half over, Boos said he “couldn’t ask for more,” explaining that times are improving, runners are getting over their ailments and everyone is positive and working hard.

Lewis had four catches for 13 yards, Kanyon Gann had one catch for 12 yards and Luke Washington also had one catch for 7 yards.

Both teams had six penalties on the game, costing Powell 36 yards and Buffalo 39 yards.

“That’s probably on how we coach, and we need to look at how we coach these kids rather than continuing what we are doing [and] expecting differ-

ent results,” Buck said of the changes needing to be made. “...

We’re going to have to increase our tempo and our expectations in practice and hopefully get the best out of each day out of our group of boys.”

Powell will host Evanston Friday night for homecoming, with kickoff at 7 p.m.

All game stats came from Scott Mangold of KPOW radio as official stats were not available as of press time.

EIGHTH GRADE VOLLEYBALL Tuesday, Sept. 5 The A squad lost to Greybull 21-12 in the first set, won the second set 21-10 and lost the third 21-8. Meanwhile, members of the B squad beat Greybull. They won the first set 2115, then rebounded from a 21-17 loss in the second to take the decisive third set, 21-14.

Thursday, Sept. 7 The A squad beat Lovell by rallying to win two out of three sets: 20-22, 21-18 and 21-12. The B squad also beat Lovell, winning the first and second sets, 21-6 and 21-15, before falling 15-5 in the third.

Continued from Page 9 winning state in Class AA in Montana.”

According to MaxPreps, the Billings Senior volleyball team is currently undefeated, posting a 16-0 record, and is ranked third in their home state. For the season, Billings Senior averages 11.4 kills per set and has a 46.8 kill percentage.

“We decided we were going to go into the game with nothing to lose, but tons to gain,” coach Bonander said. “The girls knew we would have to adjust to their level of play, but also focus on what we could control which was our serving and passing.”

The Lady Panther’s overall passing average was just under 2.00 “which hurt us,” said coach Bonander, but Powell had a serving percentage of 96.6; she said that percentage “is one of our highest averages in a match this season.”

Aubrie Stenerson, Jordan Walsh, Natalie Birdsley and Rachel Bonander were all at 100 percent for serving.

“Executing only two blocks out of 25 attempts also kept us from coming out on top,” coach Bonander said. “We were able to adjust to their middle hitters, one hitting consistently deep and the other hitting consistently on the 10foot line.”

Powell lost in three sets: 2517, 25-17 and 25-23.

“We came out of this loss focusing on the positives, and ready to work on our mistakes,” coach Bonander said, adding, “we keep improving ... with each match, which is exactly where we want to be right now.”

Next up for the Lady Panthers is a home game tonight (Tuesday) against Worland’s Lady Warriors, with the varsity game to begin at 7 p.m.

Thursday, Powell will travel to Cody for the first conference match at 6 p.m.

“Both will be tough competitions,” coach Bonander said of this week’s games.

Field of Dreams: Proceeds from softball tournament to go toward park in honor of Debbie Borcher Continued from Page 13 field, a work of art, had a welcoming feel.

In the first game, The Sod Busters beat the Boat Anchors 11-10 to move to the winners’ bracket.

In celebration, Sod Buster infielder Ken Borcher pointed to the heavens after the game and said, “That was for you, Debbie.”

Debbie Borcher died on June 10. She and Ken had just celebrated 46 years of marriage. The Borchers’ daughter, Erin Johnson (who is married to Dave), is using proceeds from the tournament and a previous fundraiser to build a park to honor her mother. The park will be adjacent to Gestalt Studios at the Polar Plant — which Erin and Dave Johnson own — in the old Blair’s parking lot, near the corner of Douglas and Park streets.

Despite losing the first game (and losing pitcher Frank Fagan on a line drive to the forehead that required 16 stiches), the Boat Anchors fought their way to the championship game. They faced the undefeated OFKYABDs team from Red Lodge. Yes, it is a naughty acronym.

The players from Red Lodge doubled and tripled the average age of the Anchor players — many of whom were in their early teens. But OFKYABDs had their own struggles. A star of the team, Ivan Kosorok, had to leave after their first game after learning a family member suffered a medical emergency back home. Kosorok hit a solo homer over the left field hay bale wall during the team’s first game.

In the championship game, Heath Wostell hit a grand slam home run to put OFKYABDs up 11-5 on the Boat Anchors in the top of the sixth inning.

The Boat Anchors, unwilling to give up, didn’t score in the bottom of the inning but held OFKYABDs scoreless in the top of the final inning, inspired on a diving catch on a foul tip for the first out by Ethan Melton.

The Boat Anchors chipped away at the lead in the bottom of the seventh, but were unable to overcome the six-run deficit. OFKYABDs beat the Boat Anchors 11-10 to win a handmade red, white and blue championship trophy.

“We stuck together despite family emergencies and injuries,” said Andy Simpson, team coach.

All involved hope the charity tournament will be continued next year — even Dave Johnson, who worked tirelessly to put the field together. Some even talked of a second field to accommodate more teams.

“This year it worked out time-wise,” Johnson said. “I’d love to make it an annual event.”

The field was named for Elysian Fields in Hoboken, New Jersey, believed to be the site of the first organized baseball game. Dave Johnson is a New Jersey native. Elysian is also the final resting place of the souls of the heroic and the virtuous in Greek mythology.

Funds from the tournament will be used for improvements to the park property. They’ll install a sprinkler system and start growing grass, Johnson said.

At left, Brian Iselin slides in safe under the tag attempt of Ethan Melton — while Shelby Fagan watches on at second — but fills his shirt with mud for the effort in the championship game.

‘FAMILY IS FOREVER’

Christian concert for pregnancy center

Residents of The Heartland visit with their guests during an open house on Wednesday. Pictured (from left) around the table are Sandy Lynn, Rosemary McGary, Clifford Case, Doris Gernant, Myrna Case and Charles Tucker. In the background are Powell Valley Healthcare employees Steve Miller, Mike Gilmore and Jaci Slater. The open house was part of The Heartland’s celebration of National Assisted Living Week, observed this year from Sept. 10-16.

Dogs introduce themselves at The Heartland while waiting to meet Heartland residents.

The dogs visited The Heartland with their owners or handlers for Dog Day during National Assisted Living Week. Holding onto the dogs are Kim Bowers, Caleb Moffett, Joann Walker and Danny Brown.

A progressive Christian country band, The Needhams, will perform in Cody next week to support Serenity Pregnancy Resource Center.

The family friendly concert starts at 6:30 p.m.

Monday at the Cody Missionary Alliance Church, 147 Cooper Lane E. Doors open at 6 p.m. Admission is free, though donations will be accepted at the door for the fundraising event.

The Needhams have toured since 1997, sharing the gospel with their own unique sound.

“Original songwriting and unique arrangements of familiar, beloved tunes — ranging from acoustic to progressive — are presented with the common basis of pure family harmony and lyrics grounded in the word of God,” said a release promoting the event.

“Ultimately, it is The Needhams’ goal to glorify God, encourage fellow believers, and share the Gospel.”

Proceeds from the concert will benefit Serenity, a licensed medical clinic that provides free, confidential pregnancy diagnosis through limited ultrasound.

Serenity also provides patient education, emotional support and encouragement. It’s operated in Cody since 2011 and in Powell since 2014.

Karen Calkin of Cody, a friend of the band members, helped bring The Needhams and their music to the area. Calkin said they’re great people and “one of the best gospel groups I’ve ever heard!”

Serenity’s executive director, Rachel RodriguezWilliams, said Calkins’ hard work and efforts to create the fundraiser are appreciated. For more information about Serenity, visit www.serenityprc.org

Quilt guild meets Monday Following the recent Yellowstone Quilt Fest, the Paintbrush Piecers Quilt Guild will hold their monthly guild meeting on Monday at 6 p.m. at the Cody Senior Citizens Center. The program will be provided by Sue Hanson, owner of Trackside Quilting in Laurel, Montana. She will show the guild new patterns and new quilting tools and gadgets.

“Sue always gives a fun and engaging program and can answer a lot of questions,” said Marybeth Richardson, president of the Paintbrush Piecers Quilt Guild.

After a short business meeting, members and guests will do show and tell, followed by the program. Guests are always welcome. For information, call Richardson at 754-5399.

Free admission to Center Local playwright to discuss famous of the West on Saturday and infamous women of Cody Monday

Smithsonian magazine’s annual Museum Day is an opportunity for visitors get free admission to more than a thousand museums throughout America and for Museums get exposure.

On Saturday, Sept. 23, visitors can get in to destinations like the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody by downloading a Museum Day Live! tickets online.

For the Buffalo Bill Center of the West, it’s a case of good news/ bad news.

Museum Day again coincides with the Patron’s Ball — the center’s biggest event and busiest day of the year.

“As the only Smithsonian affiliate in Wyoming, we’re honored to participate in Museum Day,” said Marguerite House, the center’s media coordinator. “It’s just a bit hectic, that’s all. That said, we definitely encourage people with Museum Day passes to join

us that day. As they visit our galleries, they may have to dodge a ladder here and there, hear the band tuning up, circumvent the cases of china, or be asked to tie a bow or arrange some flowers!”

Museum Day Live! is inclusive by design, and it fulfills Smithsonian Media’s mission to make cultural education accessible to everyone. The event drew more than 200,000 visitors to museums across the country last year. This year, organizers expect a record turnout.

To receive a free 13th Annual Museum Day Live! ticket for two people, register for an account at www.smithsonianmag.com/museumday. Once registered, you can download a non-transferable ticket to one participating venue.

You must print your ticket and present it to receive your free admission — or have it accessible on your mobile device.

The campground doesn’t see a lot of traffic in late September despite being a great time to be outdoors.

There’s a chill in the air and always a chance of winter weather. The campground’s location offers some natural shelter. Built in the creek valley, the hills and vegetation knock down most strong winds. And as a bonus, from Oct. 1 to May 1, there are no fees charged.

The camp’s 13 pads are outfitted with fire rings, picnic tables and lockable bear-safe food storage. In season, a spot usually costs $10 per night.

WAPITI BILLBOARD DRAWS CONTROVERSY

BY CJ BAKER Tribune Editor

P

ark County regulations allowed a Wapiti man to put up a billboard along the North Fork Highway, but they’ll bar him from using it to promote other people’s businesses.

On a 3-1 vote, Park County commis-

sioners denied Sean Dimsey’s request for a variance to the rules. The Tuesday decision means Dimsey cannot display ads for businesses, services or attractions that are located off the site. The otherwise vacant, commercial property lies across the highway from the Red Barn convenience store off U.S. Highway 14/16/20.

Strong opposition to the billboard

from a couple dozen Wapiti area residents — who contended it’s out of place with the community — helped doom the request for the variance.

However, Dimsey remains free to use the 128-square foot wooden sign as long as he doesn’t use it to “direc[t] attention to a business, commodity, service entertainment or attraction sold, offered or existing elsewhere.”

COMMISSIONERS DECLINE TO BEND RULES FOR SIGN

Shortly after being turned down, Dimsey wrote on his Facebook page that “now I get to put what I want and they aren’t going to like it.”

“They shouldn’t have fought me.

They clearly don’t think further down the road,” he wrote in another comment.

“More growth coming soon with a commercial business and messages

based on my right to free speech,” Dimsey added in a post peppered with emojis. “But yay you won” He later removed the posts from public view.

Much of the opposition voiced on Tuesday and in letters leading up to the meeting came from concern of the See Billboard, Page 2

atching his father serve as a Powell Police officer, Caleb Schmidt always knew he wanted to follow in those footsteps.

“My mom actually has a picture of me standing next to dad in his uniform and I’ve got my little play uniform on, ready to go,” Schmidt said.

This week, Schmidt earned his own, authentic Powell Police Department uniform, being sworn in as the department’s newest officer.

The Powell native will patrol the city’s streets with the same Powell 11 call number held by his father, longtime Powell Police Officer Kevin Schmidt. The elder Schmidt retired in 2011 after 20 years of service.

Powell Police Chief Roy Eckerdt found it “pretty profound” that the officer who’d more recently been serving as Powell 11, Danny Hite, volunteered to give up his number for the new recruit.

“I know that will be impor-

tant to Caleb [Schmidt], it will be important to Kevin and it also kind of goes to show we’re all family — we’re all in this together,” Eckerdt said at a Monday’s swearing in ceremony at Powell’s City Hall.

Caleb Schmidt, now 21, said his childhood desire to serve as a cop only became clearer as he grew older.

He spent three years working in the oil field after criminal justice classes at Northwest College, but “the whole time, I knew that I wanted to be a police officer.”

Schmidt said the respect and honor of the job appeals to him, along with “just being able to help the community and keep crime off the streets — that’s a very big part of it.”

Beyond working with people, he said he’s looking forward to patrolling the town and enforcing drug and DUI laws.

Billboard: Current zoning rules prohibit signs with off-site business advertising changing the character of the Wapiti Valley.

“We have to be very careful not to ruin and not to begin the process of allowing extraneous signage and other aspects to ruin one of the top 50 roads in the United States of America,” Wapiti area resident William Johnson told commissioners, drawing an “Amen” and some light applause from the audience full of opponents.

Resident Karl Dembik, meanwhile, called on the commissioners to be the “guardians of this one-of-a-kind valley.”

“It will take courage to stand against the ‘progressive thinking’ of Mr. Dimsey and other outsiders,” Dembik wrote in a letter. “We came to Wapiti Valley for what it is, NOT for what it can be.”

Other area residents, Cathy and Randy Selby, wrote to express concern that the billboard might carry an antihunting message.

At Tuesday’s meeting, Dimsey said he’d be willing to donate both sides of the billboard for the first year to promote Wapiti Valley businesses and said he’d received interest.

Initially, Dimsey had proposed donating half the space to organizations like the Cody Country Chamber of Commerce and Forward Cody, to promote economic diversification.

“Those are exactly the kind of things that promote industry and growth that we don’t want in the Wapiti Valley,” resident Bob Beal said in objection to that idea, describing the area as a “scenic, tourist, bedroom community for Cody kind of a place.”

He said Wapiti’s commerce

and quality of life depends on the area staying scenic, with open spaces. While houses have been added over the 30 years he’s lived in the area, Beal said that, commercially, the valley has changed little.

Manda Siebert, whose family owns the Red Barn and who grew up in the area, was the only person outside of Dimsey to speak in support of the variance.

“If he wanted to put a sign that supported any of the ranches up the North Fork, or the Red Barn … I don’t have a problem with it,” she said, adding, “He’s not trying to bring Wapiti down.”

Siebert said there wouldn’t be a lot of people in the area if land hadn’t been sold off and changed by development.

“There’s so many houses out there now that you can’t tell somebody else what to do with their property,” she said. “And I find that very, almost hypocritical of some of the people up here.”

Commissioner Tim French — who was alone in supporting Dimsey’s request — said he was struggling with the fact that Wapiti has already changed so much from a halfcentury ago. He also said some of the objections seemed personal; multiple people referred to earlier exchanges on Facebook.

French pointed out that, according to the county’s planning and zoning department, there are 25 signs in the valley; 10 are authorized and the other 15 are not, either being put up before the county’s regulations took effect or without county approval.

“There’s a lot of signs,” said Planning Director Linda Gillett.

tise a camp trailer for lease, “does that ruin that valley?”

French asked the audience of opponents. He was answered by several yeses.

Pia Brauser later agreed that the valley has changed, “but it has not changed with air space being filled with billboards.”

She, like others, worried that a variance would lead to more signs.

“This valley is ... the red carpet going into Yellowstone. It is the red carpet that takes people to that gate and gets them there. And that is a legacy, that is something to hold onto and that is what we’re fighting for,” Brauser said.

Some commissioners appeared to be at least partially persuaded by the opposition.

Commissioner Joe Tilden said he’d initially been leaning toward granting the variance, but “I’ve heard some very compelling arguments here

today.”

Commissioner Loren Grosskopf noted that the current zoning rules for the North Fork area — which prohibit signs that advertise off-site businesses — were adopted with public input around 2000.

“I hate to change the rules … when there’s so much opposition,” he said.

Commissioner Lee Livingston, who didn’t vote on the proposal as chairman, similarly said there was a reason the regulations were drafted.

Meanwhile, Commissioner Jake Fulkerson said he didn’t believe Dimsey had met the criteria for a variance — which include showing that there are special circumstances or conditions.

“It’s black and white for me,” Fulkerson said.

Some of the opponents applauded the commission after its denial.

Have these Leg Symptoms?

RMVC has the answers. If your job or daily life requires sitting or

standing for long periods of time, you may be at high risk for venous disease. Some symptoms that can indicate whether or not you may have venous disease are: cramping, itching, swelling, fatigued, restless legs, and aching. Once venous disease becomes noticeable and begins to affect your lifestyle, activities such as travel and recreation that an individual once enjoyed can become unpleasant or even impossible.

At Rocky Mountain Vein Clinic, specialists are ready to help determine if you have venous disease and what the treatment options are. If you would like to learn more about venous disease and possible treatment options, you can visit www.rockymountainveinclinic.com.

IN HONOR Saturday ceremony in recognition of fallen WWII service member

More than 74 years after his death during World War II, a local service member will be honored for his service to his country.

Glendon “Mar” Scott, a torpedo man who grew up in the Lovell area, died with the USS Grayling in September 1943 at the age of 20.

Formal military honors and memorialization never took place, but that will change at 11 a.m. Saturday. That’s when a grave in Scott’s honor will be dedicated at the Donald J. Ruhl Memorial Cemetery in Greybull.

“We invite military service organizations, government officials and patriotic citizens from around the Big Horn Basin area to attend and show honor to this local war hero who paid the ultimate price,” said a news release

GLENDON ‘MAR’ SCOTT announcing the event. “It is time that we as a community, state and nation said, ‘Thank you, Glendon L. Scott.’”

Scott was born on March 27, 1923, in Kane, east of Lovell.

After school in Lovell, Mar followed in the footsteps of his brothers and joined the U.S. Navy and volunteered for submarine duty. He was the third Scott of eight in three generations to serve in the Navy during wartime.

Scott was stationed aboard the submarine USS Grayling (SS209), based in Australia.

While in port, he met and became engaged to an Australian named Doris. In his last letter to his father, dated July 20, 1943, Scott said he was looking forward to coming home and hunting birds.

However, the USS Grayling and her 76 sailors were lost at sea while patrolling the Philippines, apparently sunk sometime between Sept. 9 and 12, 1943.

public is aware of the problems with the building, and “they want to be able to see the changes,” Egge said.

Egge told the board it’s unlikely that the Wyoming Legislature will provide state money for a residence hall project.

If Northwest College wants to give state funding a try, “you have to have everything together for a real clear picture,” he said. “Take a look at a dollar amount and set that as what your goal is. Get an architect on board, do a level II study and get design work done, and get a good solid budget.”

“This is going to take time,” and it won’t be ready for the 2018 Legislature, he added.

NWC President Stefani Hicswa said, “As I listen to you, I’m hearing you say, go ahead, submit it.”

Egge replied, “You’re going to be over $1 million, so either way you will have to submit it” for approval, regardless of state funding.

Meanwhile, “Work with your local legislators, see how comfortable they are with that.

There might be a possibility for 2019.”

Hicswa and Trustee Carolyn Danko noted the Legislature approved funding in the early 2000s for a residence hall project after a college experienced a similar problem with water damage and mold.

Ashley Hall — essentially a twin of Cody Hall — also has some damage, but it is minimal at this point, Odasz said. Some repairs were made prior to the start of the school year so the building could be occupied.

However, Plute said drainage and other problems will eventually have to be addressed for Ashley Hall as well, Plute said.

“Ashley is not as bad, but Ashley Hall will be Cody Hall five years from now,” Plute said.

“I suspect they had a bunch of dirt left over and put it up against the building [rather] than haul it away,” he said. “It was costeffective at the time, but after 33 years, the waterproofing measures are deteriorating, and now water is entering the building.”

The moisture has damaged and promoted mold growth inside the walls.

Dave Plute, NWC physical plant manager, said some steel studs have rusted through as well.

Odasz said it appears the seepage is coming from above the ground — from rainfall, snowdrifts and the building’s sprinkler system — rather than from groundwater.

Test holes drilled 7 feet in the ground around the building show no groundwater is present at that depth. Another hole will be drilled under the building to see if there is any water there, Odasz said.

Needed repairs to Cody Hall include: • Re-slope the landscaping around the building to prevent further damage. The envisioned landscaping correlates well with the college’s landscaping plan, Odasz said.

• Construct a foundation drainage system.

• Remove, re-design and reinstall a new irrigation system to minimize water from spraying or collecting near the building.

• Temporarily shore and remove the existing exterior brick and concrete block to replace the damaged building materials.

New steel studs would be placed next to damaged ones, then they would be screwed together.

“The structural stud damage is not that significant,” Odasz said.

• Removing and replacing damaged wallboard.

• Squirt in closed-cell spray foam could be used to insulate the building. “It won’t absorb water, and it would add energy efficiency,” Odasz said.

• Rebuild the exterior masonry perimeter walls at ground level. Add exterior architectural veneer.

• Replace neoprene flashing with more effective waterproof sheeting at a lower level on the walls.

• Caulk window and door heads, jambs and sills.

Odasz noted that the outlined repairs don’t include anything for replacing or repairing any damage that might still be found to mechanical, electrical or plumbing systems.

Plute said the board also should be aware that, “in three to four years, we will be looking at spending a considerable amount on roof replacement” on Cody Hall as well.

Odasz also noted that identified repairs only fix the damage; they do not change the hall’s appearance or provide any updates.

“What if we do a little more work, spend a little more money and make it a new Cody Hall?” he said. “Not a lot of big-dollar stuff, but give it a fresh look throughout.”

A moderate upgrade could: • Replace flooring.

• Replace old lighting with LED lighting. (Plute said energy savings from LED lighting would pay for the cost of that upgrade within three to four years.)

• Replace interior wallboard with new drywall; Odasz said the interior walls in many rooms have peeling wallpaper.

• Make upgrades to common areas.

Dennis Egge from the Wyoming State Construction Management Division agreed that a repair project on Cody Hall should include an upgrade. The

IN OUR OPINION

Wishing farmers a bountiful harvest As storm clouds rolled over the area and temperatures dropped this week, some of us lamented the sudden end to summertime while others happily welcomed the early arrival of autumnal days.

But few watched the change in weather more closely than local farmers.

At the height of harvest season, rain slowed farmers’ plans and in many cases, halted them altogether.

While growers returned to the fields on Monday, another storm is bringing more rain and even the possibility of snow for some areas on Friday.

For farmers, it means more waiting and praying for sunny, clear skies. We join them in hoping for better weather that will lead to a successful harvest.

From the time the ground is tilled to when the last crops are harvested in the fall, farmers know all too well what it is to be at the mercy of the Wyoming weather.

Last year’s sugar beet crop was devastated by fall rains and freezing temperatures, resulting in an economic disaster declaration. It’s an unwelcome reminder that harsh conditions and cold temperatures can destroy months’ worth of work in the fields. Last month, the Wyoming Business Council approved up to $5.4 million in loans for Western Sugar growers in Park and Big Horn counties.

As growers put in long hours to complete the harvest in coming weeks, we want to take a moment to recognize their hard work.

At its core, Powell is an agricultural community. Early homesteaders brought life to this once barren landscape a century ago; today, agriculture remains crucial not only to the local economy, but to the life of our community and state.

Gov. Matt Mead has called ag “a cornerstone of Wyoming’s financial stability.” Wyoming has more than 11,000 farms and ranches, amounting to $1.6 billion in annual income, according to the governor’s office.

Agriculture “continues to provide a wealth of benefits to our state, citizens and nation — food for the table, open spaces, wildlife habitat, a pleasant Western style of living and much more,” Mead wrote in his annual Ag Day message.

While Ag Day is celebrated in the spring, it’s important to thank farmers and ranchers for their work and dedication throughout the year, and especially at harvest time.

The weather may not cooperate, prices fluctuate, the work is challenging and the days are long. But farmers persevere — come rain, shine or snow.

“For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” (1 Corinthians 1:18) When God said that the wages of sin is death, he knew that someone would have to pay for our sin, either us (by spending eternity in a real hell) or we could accept the free gift of God’s grace in sending his son to suffer and die for our sin in our place. “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8) In order to receive his grace and forgiveness, we must surrender our lives to him and ask him to forgive us and cleanse us of our sins and be willing to turn from sin and live for God. And the only one who can do that, Jesus, will gladly forgive us.

“For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. As the scripture says, ‘Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame.’” (Romans 10:10-11) “Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.” John (1:12-13) I pray that if you have never made a profession of faith in Jesus, that you would talk to God through prayer and ask him to cleanse you and forgive you and he will bring a new peace and joy to your life.

City of Powell water department employee Levi Kary empties a container into a barrel during Friday’s hazardous waste collection day at the Park County Fairgrounds. Crews in Powell collected more than 1,200 gallons of flammable solvents, oil, latex paint, acids and basic liquids plus materials ranging from batteries to mercury. That was a decrease from last year, likely due in part to the poor weather.

However, Park County Weed and Pest Supervisor Josh Shorb also says that, after 15 years of collecting hazardous waste, ‘I think we’re finally starting to make a dent in all the pesticides and household hazardous materials out there.’ The annual event is a joint effort between the cities of Powell and Cody, Park County Landfills and Weed and Pest.

Camping: ‘If you do things right, you shouldn’t have a problem’ with bears, Shoshone recreation director says Continued from Page 1 Bill Cody Ranch, led two visitors from the Bill Cody Lodge up the Elk Fork Trail on horseback Wednesday morning. It was a chilly start, complicated by rain. The trio stopped to make lunch and then big snowflakes started falling.

“They were huge,” Gaither said.

They had toyed with the idea of returning early. Inspired by the beauty of the falling snow, they continued on. The trail leads into the Washakie Wilderness with wonderful views of the peaks and wildlife, she said. Gaither, a Texas resident, is in her first year of guiding horseback trips in the state.

“You have to keep an eye on the weather,” said Ronnie Stuard, who was on hand to help the riders. Ronnie and Tonia Stuard, of Texas, purchased the nearby Bill Cody Ranch in 2009 and are keenly aware of how fast the weather can change.

“Last year was tough,” Stuard said.

The Elk Fork campsite is also the gateway for true wilderness dispersed camping.

For vehicle access to the wilderness, a gravel road leads through Elk Fork Creek at the back of the campsite, snaking about 2 miles to a turnaround near some great spots for primitive camping.

Dispersed campers must be at least 300 feet off of a legal route without causing surface damage, said Ashley Duke, Shoshone National Forest north zone recreation director.

Two large parking lots make it easy to leave your vehicle behind if you want to pack in.

The trail is also a favorite of hunters and it’s important to be seen this time of year, according to Duke.

“Be visible if you’re going to be out during hunting season,” he said.

Wearing hunter orange and a headlamp in low light situations is always a good idea while hiking during hunting season. By Oct. 1, the campgrounds will be busier as hunters use the site as a base camp.

The campground has facilities for extended stays for

Two more national forest campgrounds are open yearround: Dead Indian, near Crandall, and Deer Creek, 47 miles south of Cody on the South Fork. The west section of Wapiti Campground is open until Nov. 10. The campgrounds have bear concerns, so food storage is extremely important.

“Bears are trying to gain as much weight as possible before they hibernate,” Duke said. “If you do things right, you shouldn’t have a problem.”

There is a 16-day limit for extending stays. While the fees have been waived due to fewer services, donations are accepted at the campgrounds.

“It’s not required, but it’s appreciated — whatever somebody wants to give,” Duke said.

Comedy act, magic show come to NWC Tuesday-Thursday Northwest College invites area residents to visit campus and enjoy two separate shows by award-winning entertainers.

Share a few laughs with Chicago-based comedian Adam Grabovski at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the Nelson Performing Arts Auditorium.

Known for his recent appearance on “America’s Got Talent,” Grabovski has performed at more than 500 colleges throughout the U.S. His ever-evolving, interactive form of stand-up comedy has earned him many awards, such as APCA Comic of the Year, Best Comedy Performer, Fastest Rising Star and many more.

The entertainment continues in the Nelson Performing Arts Auditorium on Thursday, Sept.

28, at 9 p.m. with a performance by professional magi-

cian Steven Brundage.

Brundage gained international fame in 2014 when his YouTube video, “Magician gets out of speeding ticket with magic,” became a viral sensation. Only two years later, he appeared on “America’s Got Talent.” Brundage specializes in stage shows, walk-around magic and close-up performances for corporate events and private parties and on college campuses throughout the U.S. These entertainers are brought to Powell by the Northwest College Student Activities Board. Admission is free to both performances.

BY BREANNE THIEL Tribune Sports Writer he Northwest College rodeo teams competed in Glendive, Montana, last weekend where the men’s team continued its success.

The Trappers placed second as a team, while Caleb McMillan won the all-around. The women’s team tied for third place with University of Providence (formerly the University of Great Falls).

“We had a good rodeo,” said NWC head coach Del Nose.

The cowboys and cowgirls are now halfway through the fall with only two more rodeos left. In the spring, NWC will compete in four more rodeos to determine what teams and which individuals will be able to attend the College Nationals Finals Rodeo.

The top two teams in each of the 11 regions — as well as the top three athletes in each event — get to compete at the CNFR.

around.

“What we need to focus on the most is there’s a lot of football to play this year,” Fackrell said.

“That game shouldn’t define us; Star Valley is a very good football team and we didn’t go in there ready to play. The focus for us is being prepared, fundamentally sound, getting back to the basics of blocking and tackling.”

The Red Devils (1-3) gave up 363 yards on the ground against Star Valley, and Fackrell said his defense will have to step it up See Homecoming, Page 12

McMillan won the all-around with 240 points, 50 points ahead of second place finisher Carson King of Montana State University.

In bull riding, Marc Dorendorf finished third with 74 points and Scott Moss placed

sixth with 69 points.

For tie-down roping in Glendive, Jake Griffel finished fifth and Levi Mydland placed seventh.

he Northwest College women’s soccer team finished up three straight games on the road with a 10-0 loss at Laramie County Community College in Cheyenne Saturday. The Lady Trappers are now 0-5 on the season.

“I actually felt like we played well,” said Lady Trappers head coach Jessica Lum. “We knew going into it that they [LCCC] were a good team; we had to give them that.”

After road losses to Gillette and Sheridan, Lum and her coaching staff decided a different approach was needed going into the LCCC game.

“We knew we would have to play a defensive game,” Lum explained. “Although the score didn’t really show that we did that, I actually think we did. We tried a different formation leading up to the game, something we hadn’t tried up to this point in the season.”

Implementing a new formation, coupled with a couple of game stoppages due to lightning, made for frustrating conditions for NWC — though the

Lady Trappers did their best with a less than ideal situation.

“Leading up to the game, we talked about the principles and the ideas of what we needed to accomplish as a team,” Lum said. “I feel like we did really well. LCCC scored two goals right off the bat while we were still trying to get organized, but after that we were able to organize ourselves. ... I think that half we did what we set out to do.”

The Lady Trappers allowed only one more goal in the first half, trailing the Golden Eagles (6-1) at the break, 3-0.

More goals for LCCC followed in the second half — led by Nikita Woods and Abby Morillon with two goals apiece — but Lum said the team didn’t fall apart.

“We stayed in there and fought as a team, so I’m really happy with what we did,” Lum said. “We set out to learn a different type of defense and do things we haven’t done before, and I think they learned how to do that.”

With 13 matches played and 14 to go, the Lady Trappers are at the halfway point in the season, and will now transition from preseason to regional/conference play.

“What I liked about this weekend is if we were down like 2-6, typically you’d see

that lead go to 2-8 and then 4-10 and you’d see that kind of just like hold,” said head coach Shaun Pohlman. “Seeing them not respond negatively like they had in the past, but actually responding in a positive way has actually been ... we really grew quite a bit this weekend.”

Panther JV volleyball continues winning ways

Continued from Page 9

BY BREANNE THIEL Tribune Sports Writer

Lum said the team will continue to work on connecting the pieces, especially on offense.

Finishing scoring opportunities has been difficult the first five games, and the team has been working on taking advantage of scoring chances. NWC has also been working on fitness, and Lum hopes that will start making a difference.

“I think really that’s what the focus will be: making the connection between defense to midfield, midfield to offense,” Lum said.

“We want to still play tough defense, but also create attacking opportunities for our team.”

The communication between center back Nicola Waddell and goalkeeper Katie Behrens was solid, according to Lum, and Ashly Nieters and Hiroko Sogabe also played well in implementing a new formation. Behrens had 14 saves for the game.

“We also started Abbie Hogan — it was her first game as a starter — and she did a great job,” Lum said. “We had a lot of small team victories, even if the score didn’t reflect it.”

The Lady Trappers hosted Western Wyoming Wednesday afternoon, and will host Sheridan College Wednesday, Sept. 27 at 1 p.m.

Between the two games, Ashtyn Heny completed 16 serves and had seven aces. Sabrina Shoopman followed with four aces among six serves. Shoopman also had four kills and Gabi Metzler had three.

DEQ project review ________ FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT TO ALL INTERESTED GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES AND PUBLIC GROUPS: As required by the guidelines for the Wyoming State Environmental Review Process, the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has performed as environmental review on the proposed State Revolving Fund (SRF) supported action below: Project: North End/Sage Creek Improvements Location: Park County, Wyoming Total Cost/SRF share: $1,560,000/$514,800 The proposed project involves the addition of two 35,000 gallon storage tanks at Northwest Rural Water District’s (NRWD) North End tank site at Long. 108 46’ 06.3” – Lat. 44 51’ 14.1” and a new pump station and connection point to Shoshone Municipal Pipeline at Long. 108 41’ 37.2” – Lat. 44 48’ 41.7” north of Powell. The proposed project will also see the replacement of approximately 3,000 feet of ductile iron transmission line in Northwest Rural Water District’s Sage Creek service area at 108 59’ 10.7” – Lat. 44 31’ 59.8” east of Cody.

The total estimated cost of this project is $1,560,000. The District will be seeking $1,045,200 in grant funds from the Wyoming Water Development Commission and $514,800 in loan funds from the Wyoming State Revolving Fund. The loan funds will be repaid over a term of twenty (20) years at 2.5% interest. Funds for the repayment of this loan will come from the debt retirement portion of the NRWD customers’ month bills. The project will NOT result in any increase in monthly customer bills.

No significant adverse environmental impacts will occur due to this project. The proposed project will not adversely affect wetlands, prime agricultural lands, threatened or endangered species habitat, historical sites, or sites with environmentally sensitive characteristics. The primary impacts of the project will be short-term and construction related. It is

“It was a quick first set with them — then they came back the second set and had some great defense against us.” said Miller. “It made the Panthers have to focus on being smart with their plays and focus on Lander’s weak spots in their defense.”

PHS’ next opponent was Worland, which the Lady Panthers defeated in what Miller described as “three intense games”: 21-18, 17-21 and 15-13.

“They are always a fun matchup for us and really make us work,” said Miller.

The coach said she was impressed with her team’s back row defense.

“They had some great passes and digs so we were able to set up a strong offense,” Miller said. “We also didn’t have many serving errors, which I feel really won the match for us.”

Finally, the Lady Panthers beat Buffalo 21-11 and 21-15.

For the tournament, Jasmyne Lensegrav led the team with nine aces, followed by seven from Shoopman and six from Heny. Lensgrav also led in kills, amassing 23. Heny,

expected that excavation and backfilling operations will result in some fugitive dust emissions which will be controlled by the contractor’s use of water during construction. Silt fence will also be used in work conducted near and around the Sage Creek portion of the project to prevent potential silting or turbidity issues at that location. There will be no adverse environmental impact associated with this work.

The review process did not indicate significant environmental impacts would result from the proposed action. Consequently, DEQ has made a preliminary decision not to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). DEQ has taken this action on the basis of a review of the environmental assessment document and other supporting data, which are on file at the DEQ office in Cheyenne. The public may review these documents upon request.

Comments supporting or disagreeing with this decision may be submitted for DEQ consideration.

Devon Curtis and Shoopman each contributed nine kills apiece. Curtis also had three blocks, while Karlie McKenzie and Kady Wells each collected six digs for the tournament.

RAWLINS INVITE On Friday and Saturday, the JV volleyball team battled to fifth place among 16 teams in the Rawlins invite.

“This weekend was a rough one for us because a lot of the JV girls were sick and having to really dig deep and push themselves to play their game,” said Miller. “We struggled against teams that we normally would not have because we just didn’t have the energy to battle against them.”

Powell opened with a slow-paced win over Wheatland, 21-10 and 21-4.

The squad then swept Torrington, 2114 and 21-10. “[We] struggled to keep our intensity up as they led most of the first game and then we finally pushed to end in a 2-0 victory,” said Miller.

The last matchup on Friday night came against Pinedale, which Miller described as “a very strong team.”

“The girls didn’t seem to have much energy left to get it together in time to beat them in the first set,” Miller said of a 21-13 loss, adding, “The second set we had to give it our all and we won 21-18.”

However, because Pinedale scored more points across the two sets, Powell placed second in its pool. That pitted the Lady Panther JV against Lyman first thing Saturday, where they lost 21-19, 22-24 and 15-9.

“We again struggled with sickness and lack of energy,” said Miller.

Powell then swept Buffalo with two 21-10 sets to advance to the fifthplace game against Star Valley.

Heny and Lensegrav led the team with eight aces each, followed by Katie McKenzie and Karlie McKenzie with six each.

Lensgrav also paced the team with 20 kills, followed by 17 from Katie McKenzie and Heny and 13 from both Curtis and Shoopman. Shoopman added eight blocks and Curtis five.

Karlie McKenzie, the team’s libero, picked up 21 digs.

Homecoming: ‘We definitely need this one’ Continued from Page 9 against a Panther team that likes to grind it out with a strong running attack.

“Powell is always traditionally a very physical football team,” Fackrell said. “They’re very wellcoached, always have been. We know when we get on the bus, we need to be focused and ready to play, and we need to play physical.”

For the Panthers (1-3), who absorbed a 29-0 loss to Buffalo last week, head coach Chanler Buck said it’s time for his young team to step up their game.

“We can better prepare ourselves going into conference play now in what looks to be a mustwin against Evanston,” Buck said.

“We definitely need this one.”

Evanston has some playmakers, according to Buck, and his defense will have to be prepared

for a number of different looks.

“You can’t expect the same look each time,” the PHS coach said. “Each series we’re going to have to be able to adjust on both sides of the ball so that’s going to take some discipline and communication and things that should be in place by this time in the season.

They are going to try and get you outside of your position and test your discipline.”

Evanston is led by running back Tyus Cornia, who ran for 90 yards on just eight carries against Star Valley — the majority of that on a 75-yard scamper for the Red Devils’ lone score.

“We’ve been giving the ball quite a bit to Tyus [Cornia]; he carries our workload out of the backfield,” Fackrell said. “Brenden Mathson and Cody Smith are doing a nice job catching the ball for us. We have two quarterbacks, Jess Richins and Seth Lloyd, who

compete very hard in practice all week for us. They both kind of give us something special and we’re not going to go away from that.”

Defensively, the Red Devils need to play sound football, with Fackrell saying they “need to let the players play.”

Buck said that, for the Panther defense, his team will have to get after it.

“Our defense is playing very well, so we need to continue to keep that foot forward and continue to do good things there and hopefully clean up things offensively,” Buck said.

As far as preparing for the game, “we’re doing some good things but I think it’s pretty obvious what work needs to be done, according to film,” Buck said.

“Hopefully we’re ready to clean those things up and get ready for an Evanston game.”

NWC m. soccer: Team showing ‘amazing’ growth Continued from Page 9 without a fight.

“It was desperation for them, as well as trying to prove something for us,” Rodrigues said.

“We’ve never won at Laramie [County], so this was a big historical win for us.”

Historical significance notwithstanding, Rodrigues said what was even more impressive was how the Trappers played through adversity — especially after losing midfielder Robert George to a red card to begin the second half.

“When we played Western Nebraska and got a red card, the wheels fell off,” Rodrigues said. “Going to Laramie with all the hype, getting a red card and watching the team absolutely rising to the occasion, that showed an amazing amount of growth.”

After a sluggish first half, Rodrigues said the team regrouped at the break.

“I told them, ‘We’re carrying a lot of yellow cards, we have to play a little rope-a-dope,’” he said. “We have to let them

feel like they’re winning so they gamble, and then we counter.”

With orders not to engage in any physical confrontation, Lobera re-entered the game as the Trappers began to press.

The freshman from Cody scored shortly after and, with help from the bench, the Trappers were able to effectively manage the game, holding on for the win.

“Luis Diaz Menendez played a great ball between two defenders, and Daniel [Lobera] happened to shake the guy,” Rodrigues said of the goal. “He pinged the ball from about 20 yards out; the goalkeeper really had no chance. ... When the dominos fall your way, they fall your way.”

Keeper Luke Holt had another strong outing in net for the Trappers, recording his second straight shutout.

“Luke held it down for us at the very end,” Rodrigues said.

“There was a very good shot taken, and had he not made the save that he did, we would have tied 1-1 probably, or maybe lost.

This team exceeded expectations when everything was

against them.”

Aaron Kovac and Ryan Tyrer had a strong game for the Trappers as well, but Rodrigues said his supporting cast really made the difference.

“I have to give it to the guys who all subbed in,” he said.

“All the bench players played fantastic.”

The Trappers hosted Western Wyoming College Wednesday, and will have a week to get everyone back to full strength before welcoming Sheridan to town Sept. 27. Rodrigues said the team will work on maintaining the level of intensity they’ve shown these last few games as the season hits its midway point.

“We still have a long way to go,” Rodrigues said. “But against this team, we didn’t lose our wits, we stayed grounded.

Again, it’s a character trait of this team: They’re humble, they are excited and they are young men, but they are learning to understand the dynamics of their emotions.”

“Winning is not everything,” the coach said. “But wanting to win? That’s massive.”

The Western Sugar Cooperative factory in Lovell continued processing sugar beets this week, as farmers had piled up enough beets before the rainstorm hit to keep the factory going. The factory’s processing campaign will continue into February. At right, stormy skies loom in the distance on Sept. 13.

rea farmers had only a few days of sunny skies to begin the sugar beet harvest before the dig was temporarily suspended due to rain.

They made the most of the nice weather prior to the storm, piling as many beets as possible.

“We were far enough ahead on Thursday [Sept. 14] to quit, and it started raining Thursday night. We couldn’t have harvested Friday through the weekend anyway,” said Mark Bjornestad, senior agriculturist for Western Sugar Cooperative.

The harvest resumed Monday. The Western Sugar factory in Lovell didn’t skip a beat during the temporary suspension, since enough beets were piled to

keep a constant supply going to the plant.

“We have about five days of beets [piled] on the ground right now,” Bjornestad said Tuesday morning.

Farmers hoped to again pile up more beets before more rain arrived again today (Thursday).

“Every load we get ... it just extends that calendar out for the factory to stay operating,” he said, adding, “we’ll put as much supply on the ground as we can to offset the wet weather.”

Though rain is in the forecast again this weekend, sunny skies should return early next week.

Bjornestad said the plan is still to harvest about 16 percent of the sugar beet crop — roughly 2,560 acres — in September.

The regular harvest is slated to begin Oct. 2.

Early indications are that the

sugar content is on target to reach about 18 percent.

“It all depends on the weather, but I think that’s something we can achieve,” Bjornestad said. “It’s a possibility out there.

We seem to be on track with mid-September sugar in the upper 15s and low 16s; we should see an increase as time goes on.”

Grower yields are expected to average about 27 to 28 tons to the acre.

“We haven’t seen anything to indicate it would be any better or any worse, but it’s very limited data right now,” Bjornestad said.

More completed fields will provide a better picture.

“Everything’s going pretty good for us at the moment, but we’re hostages to the weather, just like the farmers are,” Bjornestad said Tuesday.

Beet field day: Experiment results available in about a month Continued from Page 2 growing season,” he said. “I talked with producers [about whether they] want more tonnage versus more sugar. Some say both. Some say ‘I want tonnage more;’ some say ‘I want sugar more.’

“I have no problem with tonnage, but it’s more of a sugar content also that we look for.”

Later, Sharma asked Travis Mehling of Western Sugar whether tonnage or sugar was more important to him. “Both,”

‘Besides preserving sugar and not respirating, when it gets to the pile, those beets should last longer and do better in the pile.’

Nicole Forsberg, Forsberg Ag Services was Mehling’s reply.

Forsberg said the late foliar application also makes the beet plant ready to harvest.

“The late application tells the beet, OK, we’re finishing up and we need to kind of put ourselves into the dormancy

mode,” Forsberg said. “Besides preserving sugar and not respirating, when it gets to the pile, those beets should last longer and do better in the pile. That’s ultimately the goal, so it’s a win-win-win for everybody. But we’ve got to see what

happens at harvest time.”

What it all comes down to, Sharma said, is whether the expected increase in sugar content is enough to justify the cost of the additional treatment applications.

That is one of the things the experiment will determine.

The beets were harvested Wednesday. Results will be available in about a month, Sharma said.

If the results are positive as hoped, “Nicole gets to come home,” Forsberg said.

Annual Ag Day Barbecue at University of Wyoming This weekend before the Hawaii vs. Wyoming football game, a barbecue will raise money for student groups in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources at the University of Wyoming.

The Ag Day Barbecue will be from 5:15-7:45 p.m. Saturday in the southwest corner of the Pepsi Pre-game Zone inside the

Wyoming Indoor Practice Facility next to the stadium. Game time is 8:15 p.m.

Last year’s barbecue raised more than $7,800 for the scholarship funded by the event and for student agricultural organizations. The Food Science Club prepares the food, and members of ag student groups volunteer to serve.

NO HERDS UNDER QUARANTINE FOR BRUCELLOSIS IN WYOMING Wyoming doesn’t have any herds under quarantine for brucellosis.

“At the time of this writing, we have no reports of any brucellosis suspect or reactor cattle or domestic bison in Wyoming since the last reactors were found and removed from the quarantined herd in Sublette County,” wrote Dr. Jim Logan, Wyoming state veterinarian, in a report to a legislative committee on Aug. 25.

The Sublette County herd had been under quarantine since October 2015. Following three consecutive negative tests, the herd was released from quarantine on June 1.

Logan said Wyoming Livestock Board veterinarians continue working with producers and vets to educate them about brucellosis issues, and also to encourage risk assessment and herd plan development.

The USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service reviewed Wyoming’s brucellosis program in June and was complimentary of the program and the state’s efforts to mitigate the impacts of brucel-

losis, Logan said.

“Following the review, Animal Health staff has been auditing movement and test records on cattle moved or sold from the DSA [designated surveillance area],” Logan wrote. “We have had good cooperation from the brand inspection unit in this process and should have a report soon on compliance with the Chapter 2 rules test requirement.”

OTHER DISEASES Logan’s report to the Joint Agriculture, State and Public Lands & Water Resources Interim Committee also included updates on other diseases.

The Wyoming State Veterinary Laboratory confirmed 50 cattle in the Buffalo area died from bluegreen algae toxicity.

“The water sources all appear to be private lakes on private land,” Logan wrote.

Two horses in the state have tested positive for West Nile virus — one in Campbell County and the other in Johnson County. One human case of the virus has been verified in Goshen County.

UW receives grant to develop more accurate brucellosis test for swine, cattle Schumaker.

The grant will help continue efforts toward creating a polymerase chain reaction analysis, an ongoing effort by Schumaker, who is an associate professor in the UW Department of Veterinary Science.

There is a growing pressure for hog producers to move from confinement production to natural or pasture-raised swine.

Serologic (blood) testing cannot discriminate between cattle brucellosis (Brucella abortus) and B. suis exposures.

UW and Texas A&M will match the grant for a total of $299,000 for the project. Funding is through the foundation’s Rapid Outcomes from Agricultural Research (ROAR) program.

Texas has had several instances during which cattle in contact with feral swine have tested positive for brucellosis.

“It’s very complicated to try and differentiate between swine and bovine brucellosis,” said Schumaker.

Culture testing is the current gold standard for detection, said

Researchers at the University of Wyoming are looking at developing a quicker, cheaper and more accurate test to detect brucellosis.

The UW Department of Veterinary Sciences is using a $149,000 grant from the Foundation for Food and Agriculture Research for the project. The money will help fund studies to detect swine brucellosis (Brucella suis), which is prevalent among feral swine in most of the United States, but not yet in Wyoming. Swine brucellosis can also infect domestic swine and cattle where their populations overlap.

“I think most of the state understands how much of a problem cattle brucellosis has been in the Greater Yellowstone Area,” said Brant Schumaker, DVM, epidemiologist at the Wyoming State Veterinary Laboratory. He will lead the collaborative project with Texas A&M University.

“If this disease were to come to the state, we would have a hard time differentiating between the two organisms,” said

Schumaker, but takes at least 14 days, is about $600 per animal and requires the animal be euthanized. Only 30 to 50 percent of animals that test antibodypositive in blood are culturepositive.

Schumaker said the research is a continuation of Ph.D. student Noah Hull’s studies at UW. The team is in the final stages of testing a PCR assay for bovine brucellosis. PCR can produce millions of copies of a section of DNA in only a few hours, yielding enough DNA required for analysis.

Preliminary testing has shown researchers are able to identify more than twice the number of serologically positive animals compared to culture and obtain results in two to three hours at one-fourth the cost.

Texas A&M researchers will collect and send swine tissue samples to UW for testing. Schumaker said there are more than 29 collaborators on the grant.

Members include representatives from federal, state and local governmental agencies.

UW plant pathologist describes corn disease A new publication from the University of Wyoming Extension details the bacterial leaf streak of corn.

The disease is not yet in Wyoming but is in nine states, including Nebraska, Colorado and South Dakota, said William Stump, assistant professor of plant sciences in the College of Agriculture and Natural

Resources.

In “Disease Alert: Bacterial Leaf Streak of Corn,” the UW Extension plant pathologist explains the disease symptoms as well as disease cycle and management.

The disease was first detected in Nebraska in 2014 and confirmed in 2016. The origin of the disease in the U.S. is

not known, nor are the mechanisms by which it has extensive spread, Stump said.

Value-added agriculture:

SUNSET AND SILHOUETTE

WYOMING HAS QUALITY PRODUCTS, BUT GETTING THE WORD OUT IS A CHALLENGE

BY TESSA BAKER Tribune Features Editor

W

hen it comes to raising livestock and growing crops, Wyoming is a premier state.

“We have the conditions that produce plants and livestock that we have no equal to,” said Frank Schmidt, president of Wyoming Legacy Meats. “We have pure water and pure air, we have wonderful grass with high protein content, we have wonderful, humane handling techniques.”

Part of the challenge? Getting that message out.

“We just need to get that out in front of people out there in the United States and maybe worldwide,” said Schmidt, a longtime rancher.

Schmidt spoke about the benefits and challenges of value-added agriculture during a July forum with the executive council of ENDOW, which stands for Economically Needed Diversity Options for Wyoming. It’s a statewide initiative aimed at diversifying Wyoming’s economy.

The forum also included Seaton Smith, who founded GF Harvest with his family, and Rick Redd, who manages the Briess Malt & Ingredients Co. barley receiving station and storage facilities west of Ralston.

As ag producers face competition in a global market, Smith said it’s crucial to show the quality of Wyoming’s agriculture that sets it apart from others.

“Our biggest challenge is telling the story,” Smith said. “… We need to share why GF Harvest is different, why Wyoming Legacy Meats is different, why Briess is different. We need to say, ‘This is worthwhile.’”

GF Harvest produces glutenfree oats, and in recent years, the market has been flooded with oats that do not meet the high standard of purity. The Powellbased company is competing with General Mills and Quaker Oats, which buy commodity oats that are cheaper and label them as “gluten free,” even if they don’t meet the same purity standards.

“We have a very focused, almost blind passion to provide the purest, cleanest oats on the market,” Smith said.

He told the ENDOW council that a blind passion for quality in agriculture is “what you guys are going to see in this area.”

That passion is what led Schmidt to open Wyoming Legacy Meats as the only USDAapproved processing and slaughterhouse in Wyoming.

For years, Schmidt and his family have raised all-natural beef. In order to sell the meat out of state, it had to be processed in a UDSA-certified facility — something Wyoming didn’t have for 40 years.

“It kind of bothered me that you go to all that work, and then some cattle buyer comes in and takes your cattle and takes them off, and the state of Wyoming really gets no credit for what they do in the cattle industry, which is huge,” Schmidt said.

A challenge for Wyoming Legacy Meats is breaking into the market. “No one from Wyoming has been doing this for a while, so when you start talking about marketing USDA products,

cattle from Wyoming, you have to kind of shake things up a little bit to speak to them about that,” Schmidt said.

Another challenge is the size of the operation.

“Our plant is small. We can max out at about seven cattle a day right now, we might get up to eight or nine as we get more experienced,” Schmidt said.

He said the demand is there, and “we would love to be doing 30 a day.”

Wyoming Legacy Meats is able to maintain beef quality all the way through, he said.

“We maintain control of our animals. We know where they came from, we know how they were raised, we know how the process goes with slaughtering — they never leave our sight basically,” Schmidt said. “Being able to have a degree of control over the animals is something neat to be offering. Unfortunately, if you have to send your beef out of state, you’re going to lose that aspect of it. Plus, it’s very costly to do that.”

To help develop the workforce for the plant, Schmidt said he’s interested in working with apprentices or students at Northwest College.

In addition to raising quality beef, Wyoming also offers exceptional crops.

“This is a very unique area.

This is one of the highest quality, most consistent barley growing areas in North America — not just the United States, but North America, and maybe the world,” said Redd, with Briess Malt & Ingredients. “This area consistently produces high-quality malting barley.”

Over the years, Briess has expanded its operations and storage at its Ralston facility. Moving forward, it’s hard to know where the craft beer industry is going, Redd said.

“Craft brewing is growing, but the growth has slowed down quite a bit,” he said. “It’s gone from 18 percent growth down to 16 then to 12, and now it’s at about 6.”

He said Breiss would like to build a malthouse in Ralston, but they face challenges.

“Infrastructure is a big hurdle,” he said. It would cost $500,000 to have the electricity in place to run a malthouse, and another $2 million for a wastewater/ treatment plant.

He said Briess is tabling the project to “see where the craft market is going to go.”

“Is it going to go flat? Are we at the bottom? Is it going to come back?” Redd said. “Until we kind of get an idea of where that’s at, it’s kind of on hold.”

Briess has also considered a cleaning plant to clean the barley so it’s ready to go into the steep tanks at the malthouse when it gets there.

Wyoming’s rural nature brings both blessings and challenges for value-added agriculture.

“That’s the beauty of a remote area — you’re kind of under the radar, it’s a very unique little area. The best in the world, I think, but then infrastructure can be a problem, labor can be a problem, those kinds of things,” Redd said.

“But we’re happy to be here and happy you folks are looking at it,” he told the ENDOW council.

GROWING GRAPES

It’s all in the family for small grape-growing operation near Cowley

BY PATTI CARPENTER Lovell Chronicle

N

ancey and Larry Blair went from crunching numbers and programming computers in Seattle to the careful handwork of tending a small vineyard when they moved onto their 18-acre property in the countryside near Cowley. And they are enjoying every moment of the lifestyle change.

The couple has family in Powell and in Broadus, Montana, so it made sense when they decided to purchase property in a beautiful location on Cannery Road outside Cowley. They were joined earlier this year by their daughter Nicolle Laffin, her husband Dan and two young children.

Each family has built a home on the land, making Mustang Mountain Vineyards a true family operation.

The property had been an apple orchard more than 50 years ago, and the Blairs gave serious consideration to replanting apple trees but changed their plan after observing a grape growing operation in eastern Washington.

“We were thinking of revitalizing the apple orchard until Nancey went over to an accounting conference in Yakima, Washington, and went on a tour of the vineyards there,” said Larry.

Coincidentally, the property Nancey had the opportunity to tour had once been an apple orchard that had been converted to a vineyard.

The premiere vineyard also offered growing seminars, which the couple took advantage of as they prepared to cultivate their own growing operation on their land outside of Cowley.

“We drove over there [to Yakima] for seminars several weekends,” said Larry. “I wish I See Grapes, Page 9

Living in the country was not a completely new experience for the Blairs. Nancey grew up in Newcastle and Larry grew up in Hot Springs, South Dakota.

Though Nancey, to a certain extent, misses the hustle and bustle of the city, Larry said he has adapted to the sparsely populated, relatively quiet pace of

country living.

“Living in the country is not totally new to us, we both grew up in small towns,” said Nancey.

“We just wanted to be close to family and this looked like a nice location.”

The challenge of growing grapes is a new experience for them both. They planted 500 vines of two winter-hardy varieties of grapes created at the University of Minnesota, specifically cultivated to withstand

cold winters down to 25 and 30 degrees below zero. As is typical with grape vines, it took about four years to produce a crop that was marketable.

“These are hybrids designed for cold weather,” explained Nancey.

The vineyard’s first crop harvested in 2014 produced about 1,800 pounds of grapes. Though each subsequent year has been different and brought some winterkill, they’ve found moderate
