School district amends tobacco policy to prohibit all vaping devices BY TESSA BAKER Tribune Features Editor

aping is not allowed in Powell schools, and an amended policy makes that even clearer. For years, Park County School District No. 1 has banned electronic cigarettes, tobacco and smokeless tobacco on school grounds and vehicles as part of its TobaccoFree Schools policy. The school board voted ‘So, this unanimously last week to whole “safe amend the policy and add alternative vape pens to the list of proto smoking” hibited tobacco products. The amended policy also is lunacy. It’s includes “other electronic cigarettes.” dangerous.’ As the district considJay Curtis ered revisions to its tobacSchool co policy in recent weeks, superintendent two employees were concerned that the term “electronic cigarettes” didn’t fully address vape pens, since the devices can be used for substances that don’t contain tobacco, Superintendent Jay Curtis told the school board. “Vaping, as you all well know, has become quite the epidemic among youth,” Curtis said.

LEADING THE PACK

Desarae Starck poses with the head and antlers of her six-point trophy elk Tuesday morning alongside one of her family’s goats. Starck is the treasurer for the North American Packgoat Association. She and her husband, Justin, have been training their goats for three years.

Justin Starck leads a small herd of pack goats on a 5-mile hike in the Bighorn National Forest on Monday. Justin, his wife Desarae and the goats set out on an elk hunt Monday. The goats carried most of the equipment and food necessary for a week in the mountains, helping Desarae bag a trophy bull elk on Tuesday. Pack goats are becoming more popular for hunters, hikers and outdoor enthusiasts wanting to save money and to hike where horses can’t go. For the full story, see Pages 10 and 11.

n the wake of declining enrollment, Northwest College leaders had to make a number of budget cuts in June. No academic programs were cut, but 29 positions were cut — including eight layoffs— and student health services were eliminated. Abigaile Grubb, a political science major at NWC, utilized the public forum comment period of the Oct. 7 Board of Trustees meeting to voice her concerns about how the change has impacted students’ health. Grubb said cutting the service left

students without convenient and free health care options, such as testing for strep throat and sexually transmitted diseases. The college has been referring students to low-cost local options for their healthcare needs, but Grubb said those options are not always within walking distance — which creates a problem for some students. “They require travel, and many of us don’t have reliable transportation,” she told the board. Grubb also said that, while the alternatives are low cost, they are not free. “Our cost as students continue to rise, but our services continue to di-

minish,” she said. As a result of the program’s termination, Grubb said students are not keeping up with preventative care, which could raise healthcare costs down the line. And without dedicated health professionals available at the college, she said students aren’t always seeing the same providers, which is necessary in establishing trust. The board didn’t respond to Grubb’s comments at the meeting, but NWC President Stefani Hicswa said later that cutting student health services was one of many difficult budget decisions the board had to make.

BY CJ BAKER Tribune Editor

It was “a decision not made lightly and not without rigorous scrutiny of what health services our community could offer in its place,” Hicswa said. Hicswa said there are local healthcare options that charge on sliding scales to accommodate students’ budgets — and she noted that the college continues to offer mental health services. “Counseling services have always been available through our Student Success Center, as well as disability support, and that has not changed,” Hicswa explained. Other services, such as flu shot See Concerns, Page 3

Powell man re-arrested after alleged knife chase Powell man facing allegations that he strangled his girlfriend in June was rearrested Monday after he allegedly chased a man with a knife. At a Tuesday morning appearance in Park AARON ILG County’s Circuit Court, Aaron B. Ilg, 41, was ordered to remain in jail indefinitely, as he awaits future court hearings. Ilg is facing charges from three separate incidents: a June 1 crash in the Crandall area that he allegedly failed to report, a June 5 incident in Crandall in which he allegedly punched and choked his girlfriend and Monday’s incident, in which he reportedly fought with an unknown man outside the Best Choice Motel. Ilg has pleaded not guilty to the earlier charges, while he has yet to enter a plea to the allegations from Monday. Following the alleged altercation with his girlfriend in June, Ilg entered and completed an eight-week treatment and mental health rehabilitation program at the Sheridan VA Medical Center. The Powell veteran finished those programs last month and was released

dult grizzly tracks were spotted near the Eaglenest Trail neighborhood and the Heart Mountain Interpretive Center on Tuesday. The subdivision is less than 10 miles west of Powell. “The area isn’t great habitat for bears and is a bit of a concern for us,” said Wyoming Game and Fish Department Bear Wise Coordinator Dusty Lasseter. “It’s a lose-lose situation: It’s not good for people and it’s not good for grizzly bears.” Game and Fish biologists have set a trap for the bear, but had yet to capture it by press deadline Wednesday. Lasseter said 2019 has been a relatively quiet year for grizzly conflicts, partly due to the weather. “This year’s moisture has helped,” he said, “providing plenty of natural food sources for bears.” Lasseter said the Cody-based bear response team has been forced to trap bears in the area before — “It’s a symptom of a growing and expanding bear population,” he See Grizzly, Page 3

Asher: ‘Every day gets better. Every moment gets sweeter’ Continued from Page 1 McKenzie said he’s found himself speechless “and in complete awe” as support for Asher has flooded in from around Wyoming and beyond, with tens of thousands of dollars raised to help the family with medical costs and other expenses. Thousands of people have followed Asher’s progress following the Aug. 27 rollover that left him severely injured. “We are honored and humbled like we never knew we could be,” Tiffani Asher wrote in a message to the Tribune. “God is truly doing a miracle, not only in Ethan’s story, but in so many lives that have joined our journey. It feels like everyone is a part of it as well.” The Panthers dedicated this season to Asher prior to the team’s Zero Week opener, a 3217 win over Riverton. After that game, and in every game since, players from both teams have gathered at midfield to pray for Asher’s continued recovery. “When I see the support for Ethan from these other teams, and to see it from Cody, it just blows my mind,” said Panther senior captain Brody Karhu. “At the end of the game, when we all got to pray, that means more to us than any game ever could. It’s just a blessing that we can get together after a game — even being rivals — and praise God for the miracles that Ethan has

Vape: Legislature may consider bill in 2020 session Continued from Page 1 He cited articles that say twice as many students are vaping today as one year ago. “That continues to rise,” he said. “There is no decline.” Trustee Lillian Brazelton noted that Wyoming and many other states have seen a rise in vapingrelated lung illnesses. “It’s kind of scary,” she said of the health issues. When he talks about vaping with students, Curtis said he explains that it took years and years to see the negative side effects of smoking when it first became popular. “With vaping, within a few years, we’re starting to see these health crises,” he said. “So, this whole ‘safe alternative to smoking’ is lunacy. It’s dangerous.”

During last month’s discussion, board chairman Greg Borcher said he wondered “if we could get any of our lawmakers to take a bill to raise the age of legalization to 21 like some states are doing.” The idea is already being seriously considered: The Wyoming Legislature’s Joint Revenue Committee voted 10-3 last month to draft a bill that would bar anyone under the age of 21 from purchasing cigarettes, chew or vaping materials. In response to the rising popularity of vaping, the bill would change the focus of the state’s laws from “tobacco products” to “nicotine products” — a broader category that would include more types of electronic cigarettes and vapor material. Other changes would raise the penalties for sell-

ing or delivering nicotine products to underage youth. There was a relatively narrow split among the committee members on the idea of requiring youth to be at least 21 to purchase smoking or vaping materials. State Rep. Dan Laursen, a Powell Republican who sits on the committee, voted aye on the overall bill, but said in a recent interview that he was not excited about raising the smoking/chewing/vaping age. “I was more thinking 18 might be all right,” Laursen said. If the committee votes to sponsor the bill at its November meeting, it would then go to the full Legislature for consideration in the 2020 Budget Session.

OTHER COMMUNITIES LOOK TO PLACE INMATES IN CODY BY CJ BAKER Tribune Editor

or years, Park County officials have explored the feasibility of housing inmates from Carbon County, Montana, at the county jail in Cody. Now, they’re being asked to consider housing inmates from the City of Riverton. With no beds available at the Fremont County jail in Lander, the City of Riverton has been looking for other places it can house municipal offenders, said Mayor Richard Gard. Riverton has already struck up a deal with Washakie County to send inmates to the jail in Worland, Gard said in an interview earlier this month. However, “we are still looking for others,” he said Oct. 4, “so, if they [Park County] would be so inclined, we’d love to discuss that with them.” Gard said the primary goal is to give Riverton Municipal Court Judge Teresa McKee the ability to jail people who refuse to comply with her orders. “We’re just trying to make it so people can’t say, ‘You can’t incarcerate me,’” Gard said. The offenses that might land someone in jail are mostly alcohol-related, he said, with the Riverton offenders generally being low security risks. “We’re not trying to cure alcoholism. ... If you want to drink, go right ahead, but don’t do it in our public spaces,”

Gard said of the city’s approach, adding, “The people we’re talking about are good people; it’s just, you’ve got to learn to drink where it’s legal.” The mayor said he didn’t know how many people might be transported to Park County on a regular basis. “When we tell our prisoners that we’re going to send them to Cody, they won’t like that because they want to stay in [Fremont] County,” Gard said. “So I really couldn’t tell you how many we would be hoping to get.” The Park County Detention Center has 106 beds and, as of Sunday night, had only 42 inmates. That available space has led Park County Sheriff Scott Steward to consider accepting other counties’ inmates over the years as a revenue generator; he has indicated that his office could take on additional inmates without taking on much additional cost. If Riverton offenders were to start coming to Cody, “one of the things we’re definitely going to make them [Riverton officials] do is, ‘You’re going to come get them and take them home,’” Steward told county commissioners on Oct. 1. “Because we share a lot of those prisoners back and forth between here and there.” “But it’s workable,” said Commissioner Dossie Overfield, to agreement from Steward. As of Tuesday, Steward and

Gard had yet to connect. Earlier this month, Steward indicated it would be simpler to take inmates from Riverton than from Carbon County, Montana. With no jail in Red Lodge — and with other jails charging higher daily rates — Carbon County officials have been eyeing Park County as a possible home for its inmates for years. However, there’s been a series of roadblocks. First, state law had to be changed to allow Park County to accept outof-state prisoners; then Park County’s jail population spiked to an average of 72 inmates per day in 2017, prompting Steward to back off his offer of taking other inmates and instead predict that the Cody jail would need to be expanded in the relatively near future. Jail numbers have since sunk — putting the idea of accepting out-of-area inmates back on the table — but there’s been little progress in the discussions with Carbon County. Steward said he’s left the ball in Carbon County Sheriff Josh McQuillan’s court. The last time the two spoke, “he [McQuillan] said they were waiting on their insurance, because their insurance wouldn’t cover out-of-state prisoners,” Steward said. He added that Carbon County officials have also had some discussions about possibly building a jail of their own in Red Lodge.

Grizzly: 11 grizzlies euthanized outside DMA this year Continued from Page 1 said — but it has been a few years since they’ve caught one. Residents of the area need to be diligent because the population of grizzlies is growing, Lasseter said. On Sept. 24, an archery hunter killed a grizzly during a close encounter near Bearcreek, Montana — and Game and Fish biologists were

forced to euthanize a grizzly near the Clarks Fork River after repeated agricultural damage and concerns about human safety. So far in 2019, seven grizzlies have been euthanized inside the core bear habitat known as the demographic monitoring area (DMA) after conflicts, 11 grizzlies have been euthanized outside the the DMA and an-

other three have been killed in automobile accidents. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service makes the final call in all management decisions while the species is listed for protection under the Endangered Species Act. If you spot a grizzly bear in a residential area, Lasseter asks that you contact the Cody Game and Fish office at 307-527-7125.

Knife: Initial appearance Dec. 3 in circuit court Continued from Page 1 on bond; Ilg’s defense attorney said in late September that she was working on a possible plea deal with the Park County Attorney’s Office. But things changed around 4:30 p.m. Monday, when Powell police officers were dispatched to the Best Choice Motel for a report of an assault with a knife. A motel guest told responding officers that a Hispanic man in a gray van had pulled into the Best Choice parking lot. As soon as the man got out of the vehicle, Ilg reportedly came running up and began punching him, the witness told police. According to the witness’ account, Ilg put the unknown man into a headlock before he escaped and ran off, with Ilg in pursuit. Ilg chased the man around a parked truck, carrying a black knife in his hand, the witness told police. “As Aaron [Ilg] ran past [the witness], she stated the knife came within a foot of her body as Aaron ran with it open and out,” Powell Police Officer Dustin DelBiaggio wrote in an affidavit. The Hispanic man eventually got back into his van and drove off, the witness said, while Ilg fled on foot with an unidentified female.

DelBiaggio indicated that the witness’ juvenile daughter told a similar story — though she said it was the woman with Ilg who put the unidentified man in a headlock. Police officers ultimately found Ilg outside Powell Valley Clinic and handcuffed him. “We informed Aaron [Ilg] of the reason of our contact, and he denied any involvement in the incident” and requested an attorney, DelBiaggio wrote. The affidavit indicates that police were unable to determine the identity of the man that Ilg is alleged to have fought with — and there’s no indication why the two men were fighting. Police arrested Ilg on suspicion of misdemeanor counts of reckless endangering and fighting in public. However, because the citations had not yet been processed, he wasn’t seen on those allegations Tuesday morning. Instead, the Park County Attorney’s Office moved to revoke Ilg’s bond on the pending crash case. Circuit Court Judge Bruce Waters agreed, meaning Ilg must remain in custody until the misdemeanor case concludes or the judge sets a new bond amount. It remains to be seen what effect Monday’s arrest will have on the strangulation case, which

is pending in Park County’s District Court. Ilg’s girlfriend told the Park County Sheriff’s Office that Ilg had gotten his vehicle stuck by Pilot Creek and became angry when she wouldn’t help him retrieve it. By her account, Ilg attacked her on the afternoon of June 5, punching her in the face and putting his arm on her throat in a way that made it hard to breath. She later fled to a neighbor’s property, charging documents say. Ilg, who reportedly had been drinking, told the sheriff’s office he didn’t know what had happened. But after noting red marks on the woman’s neck and face, and dark bruising around her eye, Deputy Clayton Creel concluded there was enough evidence for an arrest. After being transported from Crandall to the jail in Cody, Ilg reportedly told the deputy that, “the strangulation thing is bull[crap]” and offered that “she was hyperventilating a little because of the pressure I put on her.” Ilg is currently set to be tried on the felony strangulation charge starting Dec. 9 in district court. As for the misdemeanor citations from Monday, he’s set to make an initial appearance on those allegations on Dec. 3 in circuit court.

And the winner is ... D IN OUR OPINION

Proposed tax bill result of no-win situation We here in Park County really don’t like taxes, and a proposal to eliminate voter input on the fifth cent of general sales tax is not going to be a popular one just about anywhere in the state. The Wyoming Association of Municipalities and the Wyoming County Commissioners Association put forth a proposal to make the 1 percent general purpose tax permanent, and the Joint Revenue Committee voted to draft the bill for consideration in the next legislative session. The state collects a 4-percent sales tax for all counties in Wyoming, of which 69 percent goes to the state and 31 percent goes to local governments. Local governments have the option to ask voters for 2 additional cents, which can be used to fund general county and municipal government operations (a 1 percent general purpose tax) and/or a list of specific local projects (a 1 percent specific purpose tax). Park and Sublette counties are the only counties in Wyoming without the additional 1-cent general purpose tax. Voters in Park County shot down that extra tax in 2012, with 61 percent opposed, and surveys in 2016 showed little support for it; voters instead approved a specific purpose tax that year. At a commission meeting earlier this month, Park County Commissioner Lloyd Thiel pointed to the county’s $2 million budget crunch and argued that, while the commissioners really don’t want to raise taxes, they need to be “realistic” if they are to maintain services people demand. And therein lies the problem. Politicians with a sincere commitment to keeping taxes low, like we have here in Park County, often face fierce opposition when they try to cut services. Last July, the commission voted to cut funding for recycling programs in the county. This was met by backlash from the public, and the commissioners were forced to reinstate the funding. This is not to argue one way or another if the reinstated funding was a right. All the services the county provides have merits, especially where leaders are committed to minimizing government waste. But these services also all cost money. Almost any county voter who would vote against the fifth cent could point to a cut he would make in county and municipal budgets. But could he find one that wouldn’t be a huge controversy? This is the no-win situation policymakers have to deal with. None of this is to say the proposed bill to create a permanent general purpose tax should pass. Considering the political climate in the state with regard to taxes, it’s unlikely the bill, if it’s even introduced, would pass. But opposition to government taxation enjoys a far wider consensus than support for budget cuts. Until voters present equal support for the latter, their participation in the debate on government spending, especially during budget shortfalls, isn’t going to produce balanced solutions. Whether or not you support the proposed bill, it shouldn’t be entirely surprising some policymakers start talking about leaving voters out of the discussion.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Persecution by law Dear Editor: People in power used the law to persecute Jesus. They persecuted Old Testament prophets, the disciples and early Christians the same way — using laws. We’ve had it easy in this country for a long time. But Christian persecution is rising in America. There are people running for powerful positions in our government and working in our government who want to pass laws that would criminalize Christian morality. If they get their way, Christian churches could not preach that marriage can only be between one man and one woman and could not preach anything that opposes gay marriage or homosexuality. If the churches do not agree, they would lose their tax exempt status. Only churches that conform to the LGBTQ agenda would be tax exempt. Beto O’Rourke was asked, “Do you think religious institutions — like colleges, churches, charities — should lose their tax-exempt status if they

oppose same-sex marriage?” His response was, “Yes! There can be no reward, no benefit, no tax break, for ANYONE or any institution, any organization in America, that denies the full human rights and the full civil rights of every single one of us, and so as president, we are going to make that a priority and we are going to stop those who are infringing upon the human rights of our fellow Americans.” When asked this question, Cory Booker answered that there should be “consequences” for ANYONE who opposes same-sex marriage. We, as followers of Christ, will be made criminals for our beliefs. Jesus said, “You will be arrested, persecuted, and killed. You will be hated all over the world because you are my followers.” Jesus told us it would happen. Today it is manifesting itself right before our eyes. Let’s remember: Jesus told us to love and pray for those who persecute us. Tim Waters Powell

onald Trump’s capricious decision to remove air protection over northern Syria and pull out of Kurdish lands is a horror story, no doubt about that. It has also united Democrats and Republicans. What? Why? If you’re like most of us, the Turkish attack on Kurdish cities sounds like another inexplicable atrocity as we again watch cities bombed and civilians killed. How to understand? And, why should we try? Because this time, if our good name around the world hadn’t already been destroyed, it has been now. Because this is a betrayal, one that again helps Russia expand its interests against American ones in a region we regard as essential to our economic well-being. Because in abandoning a longterm ally, ISIS may come roaring back to threaten our physical security. I hope you’ll bear with me while I share a bit of essential background. If you already know this info, of course, skip ahead. The Kurds, with an estimated population of some 35 million people, are the last of the world’s major ethnic groups without their own self-governing territory. Over the millennia they’ve retreated to their mountain strongholds as conquering armies marched mostly past them, maintaining their identity and culture, never having their own country — one they were promised in the aftermath of WWI. Instead, Kurdish territory was divided between Turkey, Syria, Iran and Iraq. When I was last involved

American lives. And, here we are. The results of the Trump-Erdogan phone call, as Republicans recognized, were predictable and inevitable. Republican leadership is right in declaring this to be an unmitigated disaster for American foreign policy and human rights as well as wrong on political, economic, and moral grounds. Too late, Trump was persuaded to change his mind and is busy trying to walk back the inevitable — repeat inevitable and entirely predictable — results of his betrayal of the Kurds. But that is an impossibility. What’s done is done. In a few days the Turks have advanced to hold the northern half of northern Syria and are rolling south. Their army is in place. The Kurds responded in the only way they could — reversed course and allied with Syria and Russia. Assad’s Syrian troops and their Russian advisers have moved into Kurdish cities not already held by the Turks. ISIS fighters — an unknown number from a pool of around 10,000 prisoners-of-war held in northern Syria, we’re told — have escaped and are headed toward sanctuaries along with a “number of high value” ISIS prisoners. Presumably, an ISIS resurgence has been energized. Relations with Turkey, never good, are infinitely worse. Any credibility we have with the Iraqi Kurds, who have been an essential element in maintaining some kind of stability in Iraq, is gone ... an important alliance destroyed. The overall loser from one order after one phone call by Trump: America loses. BIG TIME. The overall winner: Russia.

UW stepping up to meet challenges facing Wyoming

t is easy to describe the state of Wyoming’s university. Simply put, it’s a great time to be a Cowboy. We are advancing three priorities. First is providing an excellent education. That’s our highest mission. It’s what the people of Wyoming count on us to provide. Last year, we awarded nearly 3,000 degrees — the most in our history. In The Wall Street Journal’s college rankings, UW stands 65th among the 341 public universities, our highest ranking ever. Second is being affordable. Among our peers, we have the lowest tuition. We’re not just affordable; our graduates get a great return on their investment. Compared with every public university in America, UW alumni are in the top 20 percent for income. The Wall Street Journal rankings placed UW fifth among all 801 American universities in its “Is Your College Worth the Cost?” measure, which are based on student perceptions of the value of their education. Only one land-grant university was ranked ahead of us — the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Third is being accessible. Physically, we know not everyone in Wyoming can come to Laramie, but we can go to them, through distance learning and partnerships with community

which is the time limit set by our state’s Hathaway Scholarship Program. Yet barely one-quarter of our students complete in four years. When a student needs a ninth semester to finish a bachelor’s degree, it often means they incur more debt — or they stop-out from school to earn the money needed to complete a degree. Neither of these outcomes is what we seek for our students. Student debt limits our alumni’s ability to start new businesses, to purchase a home or achieve other important goals and, too often, “life happens” when students stop-out before earning their degree. Today, Wyoming has about 350,000 people over the age of 25. More than 100,000 of them have some college credits but no college degree. That is why we are making a dramatic increase in financial aid. Our goal is to double the number of UW students graduating on time. It truly is a great time to be a Cowboy. But I believe the best times are just ahead. We’ve turned a corner, but we’re not slowing down — we’re doubling down. (Neil Theobald is the acting president of the University of Wyoming.

NWC launches Registered Nurse Program in Cody Beginning in the spring 2020 semester, Northwest College is launching a Registered Nurse (RN) Program at its Cody Center. A cohort of 10 students will be accepted into the program and begin their course of study on Jan. 15, 2020 at NWC’s Cody instructional site, located in the Park County Complex. The four core nursing courses will be delivered online, and students will attend in-person for lab at the Cody Center, as well as for clinical experiences that will be scheduled in the region at various healthcare facilities. The clinical experiences and lab will be scheduled in the evenings and on the weekends to support working individuals and families. The hybrid delivery is in-

‘We’re excited about this new opportunity for nursing education to reach more students interested in nursing and supporting the needs for a strong nursing workforce for this region of Wyoming.’ Marneé Crawford, NWC nursing director tended to support the demographics of the NWC service area, where working nontraditional students are raising children and would like to start their journey to a nursing career. “LPN-to-RN students would have the same option to enter at midpoint as the NWC RN students located in Powell,” NWC Nursing Director Marneé Crawford said. “The hybrid delivery mirrors the NWC LPN program, facilitates a seamless transition for LPNs

into the RN program and responds to working students’ request to provide online and hybrid course delivery options.” Dr. Crawford encourages LPNs who are interested in the RN program in Cody to watch the website for their first opportunity to apply for the “Advanced Placement” option in fall 2020 and their opportunity to enter in the spring of 2021. Students enrolled in the program in Cody will follow the same admission process,

Crampton said the biggest reason for the purchase is that he needs a reliable piece of equipment to pick up supplies; he said he never knows whether a truck will be available for, say, a run to Billings. There are also plans to use the trailer as a portable office, he said, potentially parking it at a convenient location and having it serve as a kind of pop-up vaccine drive-through. Crampton also envisions the trailer being a place to store signs, barricades for crowd control and other materials that are now scattered throughout the county courthouse in Cody and the annex in Powell. That should free up space and make it easier to transport the items, he said; Thiel and Fulkerson expressed specific concerns about the trailer being used as a storage space. But the rest of the board supported buying the piece of equipment with the federal money. As county leaders and staff have brainstormed ways to reduce its current budget deficit, “one of the things we’ve been discussing at great length is going out and looking for more grant money,” Commissioner Joe Tilden said. “And this is obviously something that Bill [Crampton] thinks his department really needs — and he went out and got the grant money for it.”

Investigators: Child brought to meth deal in Saratoga RAWLINS (WNE) — Investigators are saying a Hanna man brought along a small child to an alleged meth deal. On June 6, a confidential informant was used to facilitate the purchase of an ounce of meth from Andrew James Engle, 34, in the parking lot of a Saratoga retail store. According to court records, the informant told authorities that Engle had allegedly asked if he or she “needed anything” when the two bumped into each other on June 5 at a Saratoga gas station. “The CI [confidential informant] was surprised by Engle’s question, because

Engle had ‘been out of the game’ for the past two years,” charging documents state. “The CI asked Engle why he was starting to sell methamphetamine again. Engle told the CI that he had recently lost his job and need to sell methamphetamine to pay his bills.” The next day, the informant met with Engle and his girlfriend Kelly Jo Sachtjen, 30, also of Hanna, around 11 a.m. Once the informant walked to the driver’s side door of Engle’s blue 2005 Chevy Tahoe, Engle was heard complaining about the child in the back seat.

Sachtjen soon removed the child from the vehicle. Meanwhile, in exchange for a reported $900, Engle handed the informant a Cheetos bag, which reportedly concealed around 30 grams of meth. On Tuesday, Engle pleaded not guilty to one count of felony possession of meth, one count of delivery of a controlled substance and one count of child endangerment. Prosecutors say it would be the second or subsequent time that Engle has been convicted of a drug offense and, for that reason, are seeking to double the prison time or fines he could face for a conviction.

ike their counterparts on the men’s side, the Northwest College women’s soccer team needed a win over the weekend to have a shot at making the Region IX tournament. It wasn’t in the cards, but not for a lack of trying. Playing with a full complement of starters plus a few options on the bench for one of the few times ‘The scores this season, the don’t really Lady Trappers (312, 1-8 in Region reflect how IX) played some well the their best soccer. Despite losing 5-0 girls were Friday to Northplaying.’ eastern Junior Aaron Miller College (8-6, 5-5 Head coach in Region IX) and 4-2 Saturday to Western Nebraska (11-3, 7-3 in Region IX), NWC head coach Aaron Miller said the scores could be misleading if you weren’t there to see the games. “The scores don’t really reflect how well the girls were playing,” Miller said. “They’ve improved, and it was fun soccer to watch. We just continue to have these little blips on the radar defensively — conceding easy goals. It’s something we’ve addressed the past few weeks, just not working out for us.” Friday’s game against NJC was a must-win for the Lady Trappers; Miller said the team put a lot of emphasis on the match. The Plainswomen scored three goals in the first half and two in the second for the 5-0 win, though NWC was not without its chances. Freshman Ali Krediet had one shot in the first half that appeared to be an easy score before

We just want them to focus on playing hard every single play.” Junior running back Gabe Burdette is the workhouse on the ground for the Wolves, with 285 yards rushing through five games, a 57 yards-per-game average.

he Northwest College volleyball team endured its longest road trip of the season over the weekend, dropping straight-set matches to Region IX North foes Eastern Wyoming and Laramie County CC. “It is normally hard for teams to travel such distances and come out on top of that,” said NWC head coach Valerie Rivera. “It’s no excuse, but it does take a toll on the team.” Squaring off against Eastern Wyoming (19-9, 7-6 in conference) on Friday, the Lady Trappers struggled to find a rhythm, falling in straight sets (25-12, 25-18, 25-12). “We just played on our heels the entire night,” Rivera said. “It was as if we were unsure of what was on the other side of the net.

hat began as a promising season for the Northwest College men’s soccer team turned sour in its final weeks, as a pair of losses on their home pitch over the weekend cost the Trappers a spot in the postseason. A 2-1 loss in overtime to Northeastern Junior College (10-5, 7-1 in Region IX play) Friday at Trapper Field turned Saturday’s contest against Western Nebraska CC into a must-win for the Trappers (6-8-1, 4-8 in Region IX play). But despite NWC’s control ‘We continue of the time of possession, the to struggle team was unfinishing our able to capitalize on scoring chances.’ opportunities; Ben McArthur the Cougars Head coach escaped Saturday’s contest with a 1-0 win, ending the Trappers’ hopes for a berth in the Region IX tournament. The Trappers will close out the 2019 season Saturday at Central Wyoming in Riverton. “I’m disappointed, to say the least,” said first-year head coach Ben McArthur. “I was really proud of my guys on Friday to compete with one of the top teams in the region and lose in overtime.” The Trappers gave Northeastern all they could handle Friday. They drew first blood after the Plainsmen inadvertently knocked the ball into their own goal in the game’s 52nd minute, putting NWC up 1-0. Northeastern brought the game back to square 10 minutes later, and the hard-fought contest went into overtime. The Plainsmen found the back of the net six minutes into the extra period to claim the 2-1 win. “We continue to struggle finishing our chances,” McArthur said. “Chanhwi [Jung] and Woody [Brandon Pyron] continue to play at a high level on defense, but we just can’t find the back of the net.” Saturday’s contest against Western Nebraska was much of the same — the Trappers controlled the tempo throughout, but that effort wasn’t reflected on the scoreboard.

THE USE OF PACK GOATS ON BACKCOUNTRY TRIPS IS INCREASING AS ENTHUSIASTS LEARN OF THEIR BENEFITS

A DIFFERENT KIND OF PACK ANIMAL BY MARK DAVIS Tribune Staff Writer

I Justin Starck leads his pack goats out of their truck bed pen before saddling and loading them with provisions for a hunt deep into the Bighorn National Forest on Monday. Justin and the goats accompanied his wife, Desarae, on an elk-hunting trip. The Starcks chose goats over horses for a variety of reasons, including lower cost and the freedom to go where horses can’t.

ce- and mud-covered roads certainly weren’t going to get between Desarae Starck and her limited quota tag for a bull elk deep in the Bighorn Mountains. She was set on hiking into the woods with husband Justin — about 5 miles from any sign of civilization. The Starcks planned to stay in the Bighorns for as long as it would take, but hoped to harvest a bull within a week. Needing provisions and equipment for their extended

trip, the Rozet ranchers could only carry a small portion on their backs. So they brought some goats. The Starck family is part of a growing number of outdoors enthusiasts opting for pack goats instead of the equine equivalent. The Starcks aren’t anti-horse — they have those too. But when they want to go where no horse can follow, they employ their herd of billies. Their goats love it. “When I back my truck up, they all run to me, excited to go along,” Justin said Monday, as he unloaded saddles and equipment from the

family truck at the trailhead.

‘EXACTLY WHAT WE WERE LOOKING FOR’ The couple has two children, but wanted to continue backcountry hiking and hunting. Needing to carry the toddlers on their own backs, they wanted to find an easy way to carry provisions and gear. Then they discovered a paperback book titled “The Pack Goat” by Atlantic City resident John Mionczynski. “Everything he described in the book was exactly what we were looking for,” Desarae said.

Desarae and Justin Starck, of Rozet, lead their pack goats through the Bighorn National Forest on their way to camp deep in the wilderness on an elk-hunting trip. The goats follow their human pack leaders, thanks to bonding with their owners since birth.

‘Senior citizens, injured vets, persons with disabilities, and young children unable to carry packs and equipment can confidently enjoy the great outdoors with a goat on hand to carry their gear.’

Alpines, prized for start to slow down at age 10. their athletic ability and carrying capacity, are the most popular for RENT A GOAT the sport but many prefer hybrids. Goats are not just for hunters, Two of the Starcks’ favorite goats according to Clay Zimmerman of were purchased from a local dairy Evanston, who has been raising

and running pack goats since 1994. “Senior citizens, injured vets, persons with disabilities, and young children unable to carry packs and equipment can confidently enjoy the great outdoors with a goat on hand to carry their gear,” he said. Zimmerman owns High Uinta Pack Goats and has been leasing and selling goats and providing training programs for mountain trips since 1994. He got into pack goats to help his wife, Charlotte, who was having debilitating knee pain. The couple loved to go on long hikes in the mountains — often traveling 100 miles over 10 to 15 days in the hills. Getting the weight off her back helped prolong her time on mountain trails. “She was able to postpone her knee surgery about 20 years,” he said. Eventually the Zimmermans’ herd grew into a thriving business, when hunting groups wanted to rent his pack goats. “We can hardly keep up with the demand,” Zimmerman said. “Interest has quadrupled in the past five years.” He suggests renting goats for a trip or two before investing. “They’re not for everyone,” he said. “It’s better to know what you’re getting into before buying a herd.” He charges $35 per goat, per day with a minimum of two goats. While a trailer isn’t absolutely necessary, trucks need to be set up with high sides for the goat’s safety. Before each rental, customers go through a three- to four-hour training course to teach them how to handle the goats and equipment. Zimmerman also offers courses for hikers and hunters on how to raise their own herd. One big difference between goats and horses is you can’t just tie your goat up at camp and leave them behind. They need to be near their pack leader at all times. But there’s an advantage to having them near as well, Zimmerman said. They seem to put

wildlife at ease, in contrast with wild animals’ usual skittishness when seeing hunters with horses. “We’ve walked right through a herd of elk before,” Zimmerman said. “We were a little nervous, but the elk just went about their business.” SOME RESTRICTIONS APPLY Not everyone is a fan of the pack goat movement. In 2011, the Shoshone National Forest banned the use of pack goats, fearing they would spread disease to prized bighorn sheep herds. The North American Packgoat Association sued and eventually won the right to use pack goats in the forest. When deciding to ban pack goats, forest officials lumped them in with domestic sheep, which can carry Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae, often referred

to by the nickname “Movi.” The pathogen is believed to be the most likely primary cause of fatal outbreaks of bighorn sheep pneumonia that has threatened their recovery. While goats can also carry movi, Desarae points out that a small pack goat herd is different from hundreds or thousands of free-ranging sheep. The treasurer for North American Packgoat Association, she said that pack goats get more medical care, making it much less likely they’ll be taken into the mountains when ill. Recent studies have also shown that, even if pack goats and bighorn sheep commingle, there is little chance of disease transmission. After the lawsuit, North American Packgoat Association leaders met with representatives from

the Forest Service and other stakeholders to develop a set of regulations for pack goat use in the Shoshone National Forest. The goats are still prohibited in Wyoming’s occupied core native bighorn sheep habitat, but there are no restrictions in the Bighorns. And there also are no concerns about grizzlies, unlike the Shoshone. Zimmerman said grizzlies are an issue with pack goats, but putting a bell on each goat solves most of those issues. As for the Starcks, Desarae’s hunt didn’t last long. She scored a beautiful six-point bull on Tuesday morning, her first day of hunting. After packing out the meat with their goats, the Starcks and their helpers returned to their camp site to enjoy more time together in the wilderness.

Desarae Starck plants a kiss on Summit, one of five pack goats the Starck family uses on hiking and hunting trips. Thanks to imprinting at birth and continued bonding, the goats follow the Starcks where ever they go and know several commands and whistles.

NWC m. soccer:

NWC forward Sapirah Broussard blasts a shot past Western Nebraska’s Raquel Ferreira for a goal Saturday at Trapper Field. Broussard and teammate Ali Krediet accounted for the Lady Trappers two scores in a 4-2 loss to the Lady Cougars.

Continued from Page 9 The two teams were at a stalemate until the game’s 39th minute, when the Cougars’ Matheus Lima found the back of the net for what would end up being the gamewinner. The Trappers continued to generate chances but couldn’t finish, as they watched their postseason hopes slip away with a 1-0 loss. “Saturday we dominated possession, but couldn’t find any goals,” McArthur said. “We have proven this year to be a team that struggles with scoring, but won the possession battle most games.” It was a bittersweet end to a season that began with such promise — the Trappers rattled off six wins and a tie in their first nine contests, and appeared to be a lock for the tournament. But a four-game losing streak added a level of urgency to last weekend’s games, and with two more losses, a shot at the tournament slipped away. “We’re disappointed not to make the tournament after such a good start, but I will learn as a coach going into year two what has to happen for us to compete,” McArthur said. “I think it’s important to try and learn something every game, every practice. This off-season, my freshmen will continue to build the culture we need to improve.”

PHS VB: Continued from Page 9 Pinedale (25-9, 25-13, 25-16). Four Lady Panthers finished the tournament with double-digit kills, led by Rose Graft with 22. Paije Johnson followed with 16, Sabrina Shoopman had 15 and Gabby Harshman finished with 13. Libero Michele Wagner led the team in digs with 68, followed by 44 from Gabi Metzler and 27 from Kady Wells; Madi Fields had five aces, while Wells and Metzler finished with four aces each. Metzler led Powell in assists with 32, while Fields added 22. Shoopman and Harshman finished with eight blocks and six blocks, respectively. “it was good to see that some of the girls stepped up to a new role and tried their hardest for their teammates,” Miller said. The Lady Panthers are at home Thursday against Lander, a team with “two of the best hitters in 3A,” according to Miller. Powell will host Worland on Friday, then have a week off before returning to the court for their home finale against Lovell on Thursday, Oct. 24. “They [Lander] are a force for sure, but if we can keep our confidence up and our defense, they are beatable,” Miller said. “We have come close before when our defensive game was on, so that will be key to getting a win.”

WEEK 24, OCT. 15 GAME OF THE WEEK: X-CEPT 18

The Good Old Boys golf league went into week 24 with a game of X-cept 18: One net score was used on holes one through nine, two net scores on holes 10 through 17 and three net scores on hole 18. Three teams tied for first place with a score of 92: The team of Bob Mason, Mike Hernandez, Jim Tobin and Howard Whitlock; the team of Dennis McCollum, Paul Devoss, Ken Rochlitz and Gerry Johns and the team of Lloyd Snyder, Ray Nelson, Clark Jeffs and Marc Saylor. Just a stroke behind in fourth place, with a score of 93, was the team of Larry Hedderman, Thom Seliga, James Caffro and Dave Frost. Taking fifth and carding a 98 was the team of Stephen Burtoff, Bob Parsons, Buddy Rae and Tony Waller. Two deuces were carded: Hernandez on No. 4 and Johns on No. 17. The low net score was posted by Johns, with a 65, while Jeffs shot a low gross score of 80.

NWC w. soccer: Close out season in Riverton on Saturday Continued from Page 9 clanging off the post. “A couple of things didn’t bounce our way, and I think the girls got a little frazzled by that,” Miller said. “If we had scored on one of those early chances, it would have changed the whole tempo of the game.” The Lady Trappers came out determined Saturday against Western Nebraska. “The girls were really battling in that one — getting physical, getting tough,” Miller said. “I told the girls they would be playing better soccer in October, and they were. They were out there colliding bodies, moving the ball around and being gamers.” The Lady Cougars led 2-0 at the half, but NWC was intent on making it a game. Freshman forward Sapirah Broussard — a two-sport athlete who will soon be suiting up for the Lady Trappers basketball team — fired a long shot on goal in the game’s 66th minute that caught the Western keeper out of position to halve the

the Lady Trappers to field a competitive lead 2-1. “She [Broussard] loves hitting those side this season.

369 S. Clark Powell, Wyoming

PHS FB: Senior night Friday at 7 p.m. at Panther Stadium Continued from Page 9 for 155 yards and a touchdown, averaging 31 receiving yards per game. The Panthers hope to counter on the ground with Kadden Abraham, Brody Karhu and Toran Graham. Abraham leads the team with 338 yards rushing through five games; his three touchdowns and 67 yards-per-game average also lead the team. Karhu and Graham have 141 and 136 yards on the ground, respectively; Karhu has two touchdowns, including a 72-yard scamper for a score against Evanston. Under center, Panther junior Landon Lengfelder has thrown for 388 yards on the season, with three touchdowns and seven interceptions. Jesse Trotter leads the team in receiving with 172 yards and a touchdown; fellow deep threat Brailey Gann has 52 yards on the season with two touchdowns. Adrian Gellar, Carson Olsen and Garrett Stutzman are also a

threat to come up with a big catch when needed. The Wolves were ranked fourth in team defense through five games, led by linebacker Payton Tucker with 72 total tackles and 113 defensive points. The team has five takeaways on the season, with linebacker Riese Allison credited with an interception and a fumble recovery. Panther linebacker Olsen leads the team with 112 defensive points. Powell’s defensive unit has proven to be an opportunistic one, with 14 takeaways on the season; Stutzman and Geller have three picks each, while safety Reed Smith has a pick and a fumble recovery. “We need big games Friday out of Carson Olsen, Brody Karhu and Kadden Abraham. Those guys are key contributors on both sides of the ball,” Papich said. “We’re dealing with a few injuries, so it’s a next-man-up situation for a lot of these guys. To have them all playing

hard will be great for our team.” Friday’s final home game will have a special significance, as the Panthers will honor their 11 seniors before kickoff. Stutzman, Karhu, Olsen, Ryan Good, Matthew Seckman, Justin Johnston, Dallas Oliver, Macen Thomas, Bryce Johnson and Chase Gonzales will all suit up for the final time at Panther Stadium. They’ll also be playing for the one senior who won’t be there: Team captain Ethan Asher, who was injured in an automobile accident prior to the start of the season and currently recovering in a Denver hospital. The Panthers have dedicated this season to him. “These guys have been together for a long time, and I know they have had a lot of good experiences together — a lot of great memories,” Papich said. “Certainly Friday will be a great way for them to finish out their careers here at home as Panthers. I can expect them to play hard and have a good night.”

GET THE PICTURE

NWC VB: At home tonight (Thursday) at 7 p.m. against Sheridan Continued from Page 9 about them instead of focusing on us. We never really got going in the offensive zone and lack of scoring equals failure in volleyball.” Eirini Matsouka led the team with 10 kills, followed by Mollee Krum with six. Matsouka led in digs with seven, while Geena Graf had six. Kaylie Critchfield finished with 16 assists. Saturday’s effort against LCCC (6-20, 4-8 in conference) was more along the lines of what Rivera has come to expect out of her team. “Against LCCC we came out ready,” she said. “It took the first half of the first set for the team to get comfortable and

to realize that, again, taking care of our side is the most important. It doesn’t matter what is on the other side because they have just as many weaknesses as we do.” LCCC took the match 3-0 (25-18, 2523, 25-14), but the Lady Trappers didn’t go down without a fight. “We played well the whole match and there was a different team from the previous night,” Miller said. “We were communicating, we had fire, we had desire. We just weren’t able to pull it out. LCCC is good, don’t get me wrong, but they were beatable.” Matsouka again led the team with 16 kills, followed by Mollee Krum with six. Madyson Chavez led in digs with 12, followed by Graf and Ryan Blaylock with

eight apiece. Kaylie Critchfield finished with 22 assists, to go along with two aces and six digs; Krum had three aces. With just six matches left in the regular season, the Lady Trappers will be at home for five of them, beginning with Thursday’s contest against Sheridan. Rivera said she expects Sheridan to come out swinging. She said the keys to victory are simple: Be aggressive, take care of the NWC side of the net and play each game from zero to 25 and until the whistle is blown. “Essentially, they have nothing to lose at this point and nor do we,” she said. “I think it is going to be a dog fight on Thursday and the team who ultimately wants it the most will come out on top.”

Drawn to friendly atmosphere, California wealth manager becomes Powellite BY KEVIN KILLOUGH Tribune News Editor

owell loves to distinguish itself with its friendly atmosphere. Besides making life for its residents more pleasant, this quality can attract more residents to town. Golden State Wealth Management CEO Daniel Catone was so taken in by it, he moved his family here from California. “I like to think we’re Wyominites at heart,” he said. “The community has been very welcoming.” Catone said he and his family — which includes his four kids — have made more friends here in the last year than they made in 10 years in California. There were a number of qualities the Catones liked about the Cowboy State, including the business-friendly climate and the beauty of the landscape. He said its sparseness is related to the accommodating nature of the people here. “It’s not that people in California aren’t nice. Sure they are,” he explained. “It’s just a different openness here than there was in California. And I think it’s related to the environment here, because everything here is open.” Wyoming’s culture is much more people-focused, he’s observed; people are not indifferent to others in big cities, but the priorities are different. “It’s what people put first,” he said. “They put personal relationships first here. And that’s really been attractive.” Despite complaints from people in this area about Californians coming to Wyoming and trying to transport their culture here, Catone said he hasn’t had anyone give him dirty looks

So, “There’s just something more if someone goes to a financial adviser, that adviser could hire wholesome about it.” Catone grew up in Orange Golden State to run the assets County, California, and he and for them. “Rather than picking this his wife moved to Northern California in 2002. He said Wyoming stock or that stock,” he ex-

plained, “they are more managing the financial planning aspects of your relationship — so making sure you can retire on time. They select us to help that occur.” With its partners, Golden State says it serves more than $1.5 billion in brokerage and advisory assets. In order to run his businesses, Catone has had to contend with some travel. About one week a month, he flies out of Cody to other cities for work. He has a house in Fort Bragg, California. While there, it takes him 2 1/2 hours to get to the nearest regional airport. With Yellowstone Regional Airport only a half-hour away, he’s actually closer to air travel options here in Powell. In that way, travel is easier here than it was in California. “Luckily Cody is pretty good. Two flights a day to Denver, and from there you can go anywhere in the world,” he said. For the rest of the time, he works from his office in downtown Powell. “I needed an office where the kids aren’t screaming,” he joked. Most of the work he does in finance is electronic. So it involves Skype conferencing, reviewing contracts, and conference calls — but it works. “In that sense, it’s a real blessing to have the technology to make it possible to live where you want to live and still have the same exact career,” he said. Last week, contractors were at his property south of Powell along the Shoshone River, pouring concrete for the foundation of his new home. “It’s been a great experience, and we’re here to stay,” Catone said.

are forced to interact with every day and regardless of whether you believe in Jesus, the fact remains you are either one of two people: A person who runs toward a doomed situation with the intention of helping or a person who runs away from a doomed situation in the interest of self. It’s my prayer that the nation of God would start running toward the doomed, messy and often wicked situations of this life, realizing that we cannot pick and choose who God has asked us to be Jesus to. Because the fact remains, Jesus loves them all, and there is not one soul that Jesus wants you to run away from. They are all worth his love spoken through us. So be reminded that there is so much more that can be helped than your own situation. Jonah ran away because it was easy to do that — more convenient, safer. But we aren’t called to easy, convenient or safe. We are called to go and be the hands and feet of Jesus, in hopes that even one person might know a love that transcends understanding, that transcends this world’s mess. This can only happen if we choose to be a person who runs toward the doom and gloom knowing that we cannot pick and choose who we are to be Jesus to.

PHS alums raise $10K for new scholarship Powell High School art students continuing their educations at Northwest College will soon have a new scholarship to pursue, thanks to the efforts of the PHS Class of 1969. Over the summer and into this fall, class members helped raise just over $10,000 to establish a new scholarship in honor of longtime PHS art instructor Bill McRann. The group — which needed to hit five figures to start up an endowment — learned this month that a recent donation had pushed the fundraising total to $10,040. “It was great to do as good as we did,” said Dennis Friedly of Cody, a member of the class of ‘69 and a former student of McRann’s. Friedly crafts custom knives and he donated a special Powell Panther-themed knife that brought in thousands of dollars through a raffle. Other contributions included a painting from McRann’s son, Mike, and a painting of Heart Mountain from Bill Bunch, another McRann pupil, with a custom frame by Steve Urbanski. “A lot of people stepped up and made it happen,” Friedly said. Bunch is donating another painting that will be sold to fund an initial Bill McRann memorial scholarship this coming spring. Future scholarships will be funded by proceeds from the new endowment, which is being set up by the Northwest College Foundation.

PICK UP A COPY TODAY! Kip Thiel of Cody (at right) wound up being the lucky winner of a custom ‘Panther Pride’ knife, crafted by Dennis Friedly (left) and raffled off to help fund a new scholarship in honor of former Powell High School art instructor Bill McRann. The first-ever scholarship is expected to be awarded to a PHS art student next spring. Courtesy photo Friedly expressed thanks on behalf of the Class of ‘69 to everyone who participated in making the scholarship a reality. He’s hoping that the endowment — and the scholarships — will just keep growing.

“Our vision for the whole project is hoping that some other classes will pick up where we left off and continue it,” Friedly said. — CJ Baker
