LOTTA NUMBER LAST WEEK’S LOTTA NUMBER BELONGED TO RACHEL OLSEN OF POWELL WHO MISSED $20.

POWELL TRIBUNE’S LOTTA HAS BEEN TEMPORARILY POSTPONED

BY CJ BAKERTribune Editor

The plea deal offered to former state lawmaker and prosecutor Sam Krone — for stealing more

than $9,600 from the local bar associa-tion — was a lenient one, the presiding judge said last week.

“You are getting, in my view, a recommendation for an exceedingly lenient disposition in your favor on this felony charge,” District Court Judge Marvin Tyler told Krone on Thursday, as he prepared to sentence him on one

felony county of larceny and then one misdemeanor count of theft.

However, Tyler said he believed the deal offered by the Wyoming Attorney General’s Office was also fair. The judge approved the proposal, ordering Krone to serve 15 days in jail, 20 days of house arrest and 240 hours of community service. He’ll be allowed to schedule the jail time anytime within the next six months, because “things happen,” Judge Ty-

ler said. Krone will also be placed on supervised probation for three years.

During that time he must obey the law, get permission from his probation agent be-fore leaving the state and not drink alcohol, among other conditions. He also must pay full restition in the coming days.

If Krone can complete the probation, the felony charge will be dismissed under a deferred prosecution agree-ment and only the misde-

meanor will remain a part of his record. Two other felony and three other mis-demeanor counts of larceny and theft — all relat-ing to money that was stolen from the Park County Bar Association several years ago — were dismissed as part of the deal.

Senior Assistant Attorney General Mike Causey, who prosecuted the case, said the sentence would result in the bar association being repaid and en-sure Krone is supervised while having

“the opportunity to learn from his mis-takes and go on.”

At Thursday’s hear-ing, Krone apologized to the judge, the State of Wyoming and to the bar association.

“I feel embarrassed and ashamed about all this, and I think that’s important to note,” Krone said, adding that

he takes full responsibility.“This was my screw-up, my mis-

take,” he said. “I did everything I could

As the sun peaked over the horizon just high enough to tickle the top

of Heart Mountain, Frank Fa-gan spotted some mule deer just 200 yards up the next hill.

At his side, his daughter Shelby started to follow her father’s advice as he walked her through the steps to load her rifle, line up, switch off the safety and look for the perfect shot — just like they practiced. Shelby, 12, was

after her first deer. But this was far from her first hunt. At three months, her mother, Bre, brought her on an elk hunt.

“She went back to the truck to breast feed after tagging her elk,” Frank said.

Shelby and her 10-year-old sis-ter Danika have been on just about every hunt since. It’s a family activity, Frank said.

Shelby hesitated. Two

fawns were hanging close and she wasn’t confident with the shot. Her father was support-

ive and calming. “If it doesn’t

feel right, there’ll be oth-er deer,” Frank said.

If Shelby was nervous it didn’t show. Other than having cold fin-

gers and being a little tired, she was excited to finally get a deer in her scope and try out the .243 shells her father

hand-loaded for her hunt. She considered the day a practice session for more exciting hunts later this year.

“Next week, I get to hunt for a buck in Sunlight and then I have an elk tag for next month,” she said. Shelby hopes to have a mount, like her mom and dad, hanging from the living room wall soon.

The doe and two fawns got a pass. Frank took a quick look to the west and quickly

Local kids ringing doorbells tomorrow night won’t be looking for

candy, but rather, something more nutritious.

Youth will col-lect food dona-tions for Powell Valley Loaves and Fishes around Powell from 5:30-8 p.m. Wednesday as part of the 31st annual Fall Food Drive.

After a busy summer, the lo-cal food pantry needs to replen-ish its shelves going into the holiday season.

“We are down on everything … peanut butter, tuna, pasta, soups, vegetables, fruit — ev-erything,” said Cindy Balderas, treasurer for Powell Val-

ley Loaves and Fishes. All food donations must be non-perishable and professionally processed.

Donations tend to dwindle in sum-mer months when people are out of town and out of the normal rou-tine. Visits to the food pantry, how-

ever, stay constant.“We have just been

After months of analysis, the Northwest College Board of Trustees has

received a final evaluation of the water dam-age at its largest residence hall and a list of options of what to do next.

“We have some pretty tough deci-sions before us,” said NWC Presi-dent Stefani Hic-swa.

Cody Hall has been closed since last summer, when a rou-tine maintenance inspection dis-covered water damage. Further inspection showed the damage was more extensive than origi-nally thought, leading school officials to close the residence hall for the 2017-18 school year as they explored options.

Representatives from Plan One Architects were on hand at last Monday’s monthly meeting of the NWC Board of Trustees to present their findings and offer their final recommendations. Hicswa said the firm did a nice job with its analysis and helped the college answer a lot of ques-tions.

Plan One’s final evaluation of-fered five different restoration options for Cody Hall — from repairing the damage to bring the structure back to its original state, to complete demolition,

to options that involve rebuild-ing or reclaiming the property. Each option comes with its own price tag, ranging from $1.4 to $14 million, depending on the extent of the work.

“This is what we asked for, to get those estimat-ed dollar amounts so the board can make the best decision for the college,” Hicswa said. “The ques-tion that’s on the table that needs answered is, do we hire a consul-

tant to do some more analysis of our residence life program and what our needs are based on future enrollment? That’s the decision before the board.”

Hicswa said it’s not as cut and dried as simply deciding to rebuild or tear down Cody Hall.

“That’s not the right ques-tion,” Hicswa said. “The right question is ‘What do we need for the long-term future of our residence halls?’”

She said it would be a mistake to make a narrow decision on Cody Hall without taking into consideration the long-term ram-ifications of repairing the build-ing. Hiring an outside consultant to crunch the numbers of NWC’s residence halls would give the board a better understanding of the college’s housing needs moving forward, Hicswa said.

Park County veterans of conflicts in Korea and Vietnam will see memorials to those who served

there when they take part in an Honor Flight to Washington, D.C., next week.

“Some of these veterans have never even been to the nation’s capital,” said Paul Rodriguez of Powell, who, along with Bill Sheets of Cody, helped to

make the Honor Flight a reality. A group of 24 people will depart

Billings Friday, Oct. 27 aboard a com-mercial airliner. The party includes 10 veterans and accom-panying wives and family members. About half of the veterans are from the Korean War and half from the Viet-

nam War.Rodriguez, who is commander of the

Korean War Veterans of Park County, said a similar effort to take local veterans to Washington, D.C. to see the Korean War monument a couple of years ago fell apart at the last moment.

“Either it was too

expensive, or their health was failing. We had 13 or 14 people planning to go, and then half of them couldn’t do it,” he said. “Korean War veterans are all in their mid-80’s now.”

This year he recruited Vietnam War veterans to make the Honor Flight happen. Everyone will be treated to a customized tour of Washington on Saturday, Oct. 28 and have a full day Sunday to explore the National Mall and memorial parks.

The cost of travel and lodging is about $1,500 for singles and $1,100 per person for couples, not including meals.

Rodriguez has tried to raise contri-butions in Park County to make it a true Honor Flight for veterans by helping to defray their expenses. He has been successful in collecting about $8,000 in donations from businesses and

William A. ‘Bill’ Casey

(Dec. 2, 1944 - Oct. 12, 2017)

After a short illness of can-cer, William A. “Bill” Casey passed into the arms of his Savior the Lord Jesus Christ. He was 72.

Bill is preceded in death by his parents William P. Casey and Marion (Haas) Casey.

Bill was born in Chicago, Illinois and as a small child lived in Elmdale, Minnesota, before moving to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He graduated from high school, and enlisted in the U.S. Navy and married his high school sweetheart (Kathleen Elling-sworth) in 1964. He served on the U.S.S. Kitty Hawk (CVA63) from April of 1965 to November of 1966. While serving in the military, Bill and Kathy had two daughters, Christine and Deborah, and he was honorably discharged in 1968.

Bill learned his computer skills in the U.S. Navy, and

joined Sperry Univac Company in Greenbelt, Maryland, and worked in the space and flight industry. He worked on the Apollo 8 and Apollo XI projects during the time of the U.S. space ex-ploration in the late 1960s. He received many awards, and continued to work for Sperry Univac in Eagan, Minnesota, in the programming field until 1986. He then worked for a small telephone com-pany in Bemidji, Minnesota, until 1991 and worked various other jobs until 1998 when he began work

as a sales rep for the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) for 11 years.

During this time, Bill and Kathy moved to La Crosse,

Wisconsin, and in 2009, Bill retired from NFIB. In 2012 the couple moved out West, to Pow-ell, Wyoming.

Most important of all, Bill came to know and love his Savior Jesus Christ in 1982. He

served as a chaplain, in three Gideon camps in three different states — Minnesota, Wisconsin and Wyoming. He also was part of the jail ministry in Minnesota

and Wyoming.Bill is survived by

his wife of 53 years, Kathleen Casey; daughters Christine (Robert) Sanville of Suquamish, Wash-ington, and Deborah (Richard) Baker of Portland, Oregon; three grandchildren, Taylor, Alex and Danny; two sisters, Maryann and Kath-

leen Casey of Milwaukee, WI and a brother John Casey of Cody; nieces Sarah (Steven) Schlueter and Becky and a nephew Joel and a great niece Sydney Schlueter.

A service for Bill will be at the Cody Bible Church, 2137 Cougar Ave. in Cody, at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 17. He will be buried at Crown Hill Cemetery in Powell, Wyoming.

Memorial donations in Bill’s name can be made to Gideons International.

Every month, Loaves and Fishes provides food for more than 300 people. In May, the pantry helped 409 people, mak-ing up 114 local families.

From January through Sep-tember, the nonprofit has pro-vided food for 806 families, with a total of 2,930 people served. Residents are counted each time they visit the pantry, so those numbers include repeat families and individuals who receive food each month.

“We’ve just had an influx of people using the pantry,” she said. “I’m not sure if it’s job-related … I’m not really sure. It’s just constant.”

The local pantry depends on the community for food and monetary support, Balderas said.

“We’re hoping for the best with the food drive,” she said.

Kids with the Youth Clubs of Park County will go to homes around the Powell Club on Wednesday afternoon, while youth with local churches and school groups will go to other neighborhoods around Powell from 5:30-8 p.m.

“We do try to have enough kids to canvass the whole town,” Balderas said.

Loaves and Fishes doesn’t have the manpower to go to homes in the country, and sometimes, houses in town are accidentally missed during the drive. If someone doesn’t come by your house on Wednesday night, you can take food items to the collection bins at Blair’s Super Market or Mr. D’s in Pow-ell. The Powell post office will collect donations throughout the day Wednesday, and food can also be taken to the Park County Annex the night of the drive, Balderas said.

If you’re not going to be home Wednesday evening, leave do-nations on your doorstep.

Balderas said the commu-nity’s support is appreciated, as are the volunteers who make the annual food drive possible.

For youth involved with the drive, Balderas said she hopes it’s a rewarding experience as they give back to the com-munity.

“We want them to under-stand that they’re doing some-

thing for the community, that they’re doing something to help out the citizens of Pow-ell who are your neighbors, friends, whoever it might be,” Balderas said. “We’re just trying to let them know it’s a good thing to have community spirit.”

Youth will be accompanied by adults, and they’re encour-aged to be careful as they’re out on local streets.

“Above all, we want the safe-ty of anyone who’s out there do-ing work for us,” Balderas said.

Volunteers who help distrib-ute food at the Park County Annex throughout the year also are appreciated, she said.

“Not only do we have a great board to work with, but we have these awesome volun-teers who give up their time to provide food for these clients,” Balderas said.

Residents can receive food from Loaves and Fishes once per month. Food is distributed from 9-11:30 a.m. Mondays through Fridays at the Park County Annex. Folks should call the annex at 754-8800 to schedule an appointment to pick up food.

Everything that happens at the pantry is confidential, Bal-deras said.

It is humbling to ask for food, and she said Loaves and Fishes respects clients’ privacy.

“We really want to respect that, and we want them to know that it’s OK, that they’re not alone, and they’re not the only ones who are going there,” Bal-deras said.

In addition to non-perishable food, Loaves and Fishes also offers coupons for fresh eggs, milk and bread, which can be used at Mr. D’s or Blair’s.

If hunters have meat that they’re not going to use, Loaves and Fishes would be happy to take it, Balderas said. Meat must be professionally pro-cessed, she said.

Monetary donations will be collected during Wednesday’s drive or can be mailed to Loaves and Fishes at P.O. Box 992, Powell WY 82435.

The nonprofit is starting its 34th year in the Powell com-munity.

“We’re plugging along,” she said, adding, “It’s been a long run.”

DEAVER (AP) — A 79-year-old woman has died in a house fire near Deaver.

Big Horn County Sheriff Ken Blackburn identified the victim as Dorothy Creed.

The fire occurred on the afternoon of Tuesday, Oct. 10.

Deaver-Frannie fire chief Nick Loftus says when fire-fighters arrived they tried to enter the house but were forced to back out because of the quickly spreading flames.

Loftus says several pet dogs may have also died in the fire.

“This is a horrible tragedy,

and our hearts go out to the family who have lost their loved one,” Blackburn said in a Lovell Chronicle article. “This was an especially bitter loss for those of us who work at the sheriff’s department, because the victim was our co-worker at the annex at one time.”

The fire is being jointly investigated by the State Fire Marshal’s Office, the Wyo-ming Division of Criminal In-vestigation and the Big Horn County coroner and sheriff’s department, the Chronicle reported.

A school’s living environment is becoming a significant factor in a student’s decision of where to attend.

“Students are choosing Casper College because their residence halls have private bathrooms,” Hicswa said, add-ing, “Students are choosing that option over some of the aca-demic programs that we have that Casper College doesn’t. If they’re not coming here because of our residence halls, that’s a red flag for me to pay attention to.”

For its part, Plan One recom-mended option 1, the “repair only” option, for Cody Hall. Re-pairs would include a regrade of the perimeter of the building, exterior masonry replacement, lower level exterior wall spray foam insulation and drywall replacement. The project cost would range between $1.1 mil-lion and $1.4 million. Regard-less of what the board chooses to do about Cody Hall, a side project to regrade the perimeter

of Ashley Hall will most likely move forward to avoid the same issue that closed Cody Hall. The regrade would include revised irrigation and landscaping, at an estimated cost of between $190,000-$235,000.

“The Ashley Hall project is something we are going to do. We’re going to get the dirt away from the building,” Hicswa said, adding, “It needs to be done re-gardless of what we decide to do with the rest.”

A “repair plus renovation” option for Cody Hall was also recommended for the board to consider, with an eye toward a long-term solution. It would in-clude all the repairs from option 1, plus new flooring and LED lighting throughout the build-ing, common area upgrades, minor American Disabilities Act (ADA) upgrades, the addition of a front entrance canopy and an upgrade to the plaza. The cost is estimated at between $4.9 mil-lion and $6 million. Three to five months would be earmarked for design, with six to 12 months of construction.

“We have enough money to do the $1.1 million to 1.4 mil-lion and fix Cody Hall,” Hicswa said, referring to option 1. “But is it an investment to do some-thing more? Perhaps hiring a company to come in and do that analysis is worth exploring.”

The Board of Trustees will now take all the information under advisement before mak-ing a final decision. Hicswa said she doesn’t have a feeling for the direction the board is leaning, and there is no time frame for a decision.

“We need to do something the next couple of months to have a decision to go forward,” Hicswa said. “But we are going to ask them to go forward on this [the Ashley Hall project]; we know we can do that.”

She added that there’s no easy answer for Cody Hall.

“I don’t think there’s one that jumps out at me necessarily. I think we need to look at it more, and I like that we’re zooming out and having a bigger conver-sation,” Hicswa said. “I think that’s very responsible.”

to try and remedy it right away.”Charging documents, used

as part of the basis for Krone’s guilty pleas, say he stole the thousands of dollars from the county bar association between March 2010 and October 2013. Krone reportedly told the bar association’s president in 2015 that the organization still had a couple thousand dollars in the bank, but when she obtained a bank statement in April 2016, she discovered it held only $88.90.

Krone had sole access to the group’s accounts as the group’s treasurer — a volunteer position he held from 2002 to 2016.

“I would rou-tinely purchase items with my own either debit or credit cards on behalf of the association and I would routinely commingle association funds with my per-sonal funds for that period of time,” he testified Thursday. “I did a very poor job of being a steward of these funds and I was certainly a sloppy book-keeper in keeping those funds and as a result of that, I took more bar association funds than I was entitled to.”

When he was later confronted by Wyoming Division of Crimi-nal Investigation Special Agent Brady Patrick — who analyzed bank records and concluded that $9,633.17 was stolen — Krone said he was “shocked” to learn so much money was unac-counted for.

“I certainly never intended it to be that way and I take full responsibility for that,” Krone said.

In a court filing earlier this year, the AG’s office said it had evidence that Krone’s personal finances were “deteriorating” around the time of the thefts and that he’d been borrowing money from friends and co-workers. To show that Krone’s actions were not a mistake, the AG’s office said it planned to present an analysis of his personal and campaign finance accounts and his academic background in finance.

However, Causey, the state prosecutor, appeared to back off that contention last week.

“We are aware of the fact that Mr. Krone was a legislator, he was a prosecutor, he had de-grees in finance, but certainly we look at this and think that the explanations that he’s given make sense,” said Causey. “Certainly, we hold him to a higher standard, and we believe that the higher standard should be upheld, but we also believe in trying to achieve fairness, if you will, for all parties.”

Causey had argued for five years of supervised probation, “given the nature of the crime,

given the manner in which is was conducted, given the length of time that this overall series of events occurred.” Krone’s de-fense attorney, Charles Pelkey, had argued for three years of unsupervised probation. Krone is not the type of defendant who needs supervision, argued Pelkey, a Laramie Democrat who served with Krone in the Legislature.

Judge Tyler opted for super-vised probation, saying he felt

that was consis-tent with other deferrals, while imposing it for three years; he explained that a probation agent would likely rec-ommend giving a nonviolent of-fender Krone an early discharge anyway.

Judge Tyler or-dered Krone to

stay away from alcohol, bars and other places where he might be tempted to get drunk while on probation.

That was spurred by a couple of confidential presentence re-ports — which were not detailed in open court — that outlined Krone’s problems with alcohol.

“It is an issue I want to con-sider and do something about one way or the other,” Tyler said.

Pelkey said his client had no objection to being prohibited from drinking — saying Krone had complied with the judge’s order to not drink “to excess” while the case was pending.

“This last year, I’ve personal-ly seen a change in Mr. Krone,” he said, adding, “It’s a notice-able change and it’s a change that has been noticed by others in our circle, mutual friends.”

Outside of a toast at his Sep-tember wedding, Krone avoided alcohol for “the bulk” of the past year, Pelkey told the court.

Speaking generally, Krone said the last year had been dif-ficult.

“It’s been hard to go through sometimes, but I’ve got great support from my wife,” he said. “And I’ve tried to be the best person I could be this past year.”

Krone’s fall from grace started in February 2016, while the Republican was serving in the state House of Representa-tives in Cheyenne. It was then that he received an email saying he’d been fired from his job as a deputy Park County attorney for profane and taunting text messages he’d sent to a friend being prosecuted by that office.

The criminal investigation into the thefts from the bar as-sociation’s account began about a month after the text messages became public. Because of Krone’s 12 years of work for the Park County Attorney’s Office, the prosecution of the case was handled by the Wyoming Attor-ney General’s Office.

The AG’s office filed the charges against Krone in late July 2016 — just a few weeks before the Republican primary, where Krone was trying to keep his seat for a fourth term. Krone — who’d hoped to resolve the matter without criminal charg-es — described himself then as “shell shocked.”

In an appearance on KODI-AM’s Speak Your Piece pro-gram, just days before the election, a listener called in to ask why Krone was being charged right before the pri-mary.

“The timing is just com-pletely crazy and it’s ... yeah, I’ll just leave it at that,” Krone an-swered. “It seems suspicious.”

During that same Speak Your Piece appearance, Krone told listeners that, “I’m going to have a vigorous defense for those charges and ultimately I think I’ll be exonerated.”

(Krone was defeated by Rep. Scott Court, R-Cody, in the House District 24 primary.)

Krone filed a motion this year asking to have the evidence against him suppressed, but agreed to a plea deal before Judge Tyler ruled on the re-quest.

Last week, Krone thanked both the attorney general’s office and DCI for their profes-sionalism in the case and apolo-gized for the additional hassle of having to prosecute a former prosecutor. Because of his role in putting local residents be-hind bars over the years, Krone will need to serve his jail time in a different county.

In sentencing Krone, Judge Tyler said the former pros-ecutor’s actions had marred the clean “slate” that lawyers receive when they start their legal careers.

“Certainly you should recog-nize, and I think you do, that it’s going to take you a lot of work in order to get that slate somewhat erased and that time will blur some of these sharp feelings and thoughts that some people have about what’s occurred here,” Tyler said, referring to confidential victim impact statements from the bar asso-ciation.

Krone pledged to work hard to earn the probation.

Tyler is from Pinedale and, prior to presiding over the crim-inal case, had never met Krone.

In the months since the proposed plea agreement was made public, a few Park County residents called Judge Tyler’s office and “wanted to talk to me about what to do in your case,” the judge told Krone. However, in accordance with judicial rules, none of those people were allowed to speak to the judge.

Krone still faces the pros-pect of punishment from the Wyoming State Bar. It sus-pended his ability to practice law shortly after the criminal charges were filed last year while it conducted its own in-vestigation.

“It’s going be pretty expen-sive,” he said. “The main thing I was hoping for is to get a little more donated money so we could cut the cost in half.”

An account has been set up

to accept donations for the veterans’ Honor Flight, in care of the Korean War Veterans Association, at First Bank of Wyoming’s Powell and Cody branches.

Rodriguez, who served in Korea in 1953-54, has long tried to bring attention to “The Forgotten War.” He and fellow Korean War veterans in Park

County established a chapter of the Korean War Veterans As-sociation that at one time had as many as 70 members.

“It was open to anyone who wanted to join, including some who lived outside the county, but wanted to be members,” he said. “Of the group we started out with, we’ve lost over a third of them.”

Park County Korean War veterans were instrumental in the establishment of a memorial to that war in the Wyoming Veterans Memorial Park at Cody. Some local Korean War vets, joined by area Vietnam War veterans, will take part in an Oct. 27-30 Honor Flight to Washington, D.C., to view national war memorials. Tribune file photo

STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS

An early shot of winter weather depressed rec-reational visits to Yellow-

stone National Park during the month of September.

The National Park Service reports just over 640,000 people visited Yellowstone last month.

The visitation was down about 8.8 percent from September 2016, when the park recorded more than 700,000 recreational

visits.Snowy weather during the

middle of last month closed some roads within and just outside the park for days.

East Entrance visitation was down 23 percent in September from the previous year. Sylvan Pass closed several times last month due to weather conditions. The East Entrance saw 73,654 visitors in September, compared to 95,993 in September 2016.

The South Entrance was the

only gate to see an increase in visitors last month, with 139,471 tallied — up 5.8 percent from Sep-tember 2016.

Even with the road closure and dips in visitation, the Park Service says Yellowstone saw its third busiest September on record.

So far this year, Yellowstone has hosted more than 3.8 million recreational visitors, down about 2.5 percent from the same period in 2016.

the inconveniences of

Back in 1950, I embarked on the good ship “School” in search of adventures

and found a treasure called “reading.”

OK, I apologize for using that cheesy metaphor — poetic writ-ing isn’t exactly my style — but don’t give up on me yet. I may still be able to enlighten and/or entertain you before I’m done.

That figure of speech, cheesy as it may be, reflects the fact that I have enjoyed reading for more than six decades. I’ve been curling up with one good book or another — and a few duds as well — ever since I learned to tell one word from another.

That’s not all I did, of course. I was a reg-ular kid back in 1950s when video games were unheard of and kids could wander the whole town and beyond as much as they wished without being reported miss-ing unless they failed to show up for dinner.

When I wasn’t wan-dering, though, I was probably reading,

So, five years ago, when I embarked on some adventures in medical land that forced me to quit working and limited my physical activity, I was well equipped with an interest that could fill the time I was no longer at work or out walking some-where — a day like today.

This afternoon, I began read-ing the latest book about that fictional Wyoming sheriff, Walt Longmire, and the fictional cor-ner of our state he protects. This is not characteristic of my read-ing. I seldom read novels, for one thing, and even when I do read one, it’s not a mystery story, nor is it part of a series. I’ve avoided such books ever since I read my last Hardy Boys book sometime in 1954.

In this case, though, the lighter reading was welcome, since I had just finished reading a book exploring why the empires in the eastern Mediterranean all seem to have declined, some even dis-appearing from history, almost 3,300 years ago. Archaeologists have found a number of cities that were destroyed or heavily damaged within a relatively short time — some by earthquakes, others by invaders and some possibly by revolts from within. Some were rebuilt, others disap-peared forever and nobody really knows why.

After wrestling with all those ancient disasters for a while, the adventures of Craig Johnson’s tough-as-nails Wyoming sheriff are much easier to deal with.

Besides, I’ve read all the other Longmire books, so I have to read this one to see what happens next.

Of course, a guy can only deal with fictional people and places so long; therefore, I need another to balance things out. To that end, I am also reading “Hamilton,” whose portrait you may be carrying around if you have a $10 bill in your pocket. And to be honest, the real people in this book — people like George Washington, James Madison and Thomas Jefferson, as well as Alexander Hamilton — are much more entertaining than Sheriff

Longmire or even Vic, his sexy deputy.

Hamilton is rightly credited for putting the U.S. on sound financial principles and enabling healthy foreign trade under the new Constitution. But Jefferson, who hated banks and cities and thought everybody should be a farmer, opposed what Hamilton was doing because he feared that

it meant a more powerful nation-al government. He was also upset that Hamilton was promoting manufacturing, which Jefferson thought would employ people who should be farming.

Currently, I’m at the point when Jefferson has begun a cam-paign to smear Hamilton, warn-ing that Hamilton secretly wants to establish a monarchy. To that end, Jefferson, who was the Secretary of State, created a job as translator in his department and gave it to Philip Freneau, who didn’t know enough French to be a translator. Freneau’s real job was to write and pub-lish anonymous essays attack-ing Hamilton’s character and politics, sometimes using words I can’t use in this column. This peeved Hamilton, of course, so he defended himself and attacked Jefferson with his own venomous writings.

It was all rather uncivil, when you come right down to it. It seems our founding fathers have a lot in common with today’s poli-ticians.

I will finish the Longmire book well before I finish “Hamilton” — which is much longer and smaller print — and there are more unread books within a few feet of me as I write this, but eventually, I’ll finish both.

Fortunately, there are more books where they came from, and that’s a good thing. I like to keep my brain busy. And next time I write, I might be more entertaining.

My fall reading list

DON AMENDThe Amend

Corner

What’s going to happen to healthcare now that Senate Republicans have failed to

pass their bill, which would have replaced much of the Affordable Care Act? In particular, what’s going to happen to Medicaid, the govern-ment’s largest insurance program, which covers 74 million Americans? This is a good time to clarify what was at stake and may still be up for grabs in the months to come.

Despite its importance to so many people, Medicaid has always been the health system’s stepchild. Many doctors and dentists have avoided taking Medicaid patients, saying the program didn’t pay enough. Until recently, editors haven’t been keen to feature stories about Medicaid, believing that their audience was not interested in reading about people most likely to be on the program — the poor, the disabled, kids and seniors who needed it to pay for their nursing home care.

Suddenly, media stories about cut-ting Medicaid and the loss of cover-age to millions became news.

“In the course of the debate, it’s become clear that Medicaid has tre-mendous public support. There has been much more focus in this debate

than I’ve seen in any health policy debate,” said Shannon Buckingham, vice president for communications at the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, a Washington D.C., think tank.

So what is this program that affects so many and will undoubtedly surface again either later this year or next as a political foot-ball?

It was created in 1965 under the Lyndon B. Johnson administration at the same time Medicare was passed. Unlike Medicare, though, which is a social insurance entitle-ment to which people con-tribute throughout their working lives, Medicaid is a welfare program. Those applying for coverage must meet strict asset and income tests, which mean they can’t own very much and they can’t earn a lot of money. Everyone who qualifies is guaranteed coverage.

The benefit package that all states must offer is generous and covers many services, including nursing home care and transportation to medical appointments. It pays for care

given at rural health clinics and feder-ally qualified health clinics. States can provide optional benefits such as pre-scription drugs, respiratory care, den-tal services and physical and speech

therapy; many states do.States and the federal

government share in the cost, and that’s where the fight in Congress comes in. As medical costs have risen — with few controls on how high they can go — states have found that Medicaid is consuming larger shares of their annual budgets, often crowding out other needs like fixing roads. The federal government contin-ues to pay more too.

One solution for this dilemma is to change the

way Medicaid is financed — from a state-federal matching arrange-ment into what’s called a block grant. Under a block grant, the federal government will give a set amount of money to the states. It’s a way to reduce its healthcare expenditures while shifting more of the burden to the states to cover their residents who depend on Medicaid.

Conservatives have argued for

years that giving the states a lump sum would mean they could manage their programs as they saw fit. That’s why during debates on Medicaid you hear phrases like “more flexibility” and “greater freedom.” But others argue that flexibility and freedom come at a cost: It could allow states to offer fewer benefits and impose restrictions that would make it hard-er for people to get care.

The Graham-Cassidy bill that was the Senate’s last attempt at remodel-ing the Affordable Care Act called for block grants and eliminated the ACA’s Medicaid expansion program that had provided healthcare to those with incomes between the poverty level and 138 percent of the poverty level. This year that’s about $16,600 for a single person and about $34,000 for a family of four. The expansion had brought some 12 million people onto the program.

The Medicaid debate is far from over and is shifting to the states. Several have applied for waivers from the federal government to allow them more flexibility. For example, a state might ask for permission to enroll Medicaid recipients in private insurance plans as Arkansas has done. While a private market solution

might sound good, it could mean that people on Medicaid would have to pay higher deductibles and other cost sharing.

Indiana has a waiver that requires recipients to make small monthly payments and maintain a savings account mostly funded by the state to pay for some of their care. People who don’t make their payments may be locked out of coverage for a time. Some states like Arizona and Kentucky are eyeing work require-ments. Most Medicaid recipients, however, are already working.

These potential changes raise important questions this last debate didn’t answer. Who should get cover-age? Should we control rising medi-cal costs by reducing healthcare for those who can least afford it?

Maybe the next debate will give us the answers.

Thinking About Health

Medicaid still a target of healthcare reform

For many local households, warm meals at dinnertime, full refrigerators and well-stocked pantries are normal. But some families and individuals in our community struggle to put food on their tables.

Each month, more than 300 local residents receive food from Powell Valley Loaves and Fishes. Some months, the local non-profit feeds upwards of 400 adults and children.

“We’ve just had an influx of people using the pantry,” said Cindy Balderas, who serves as treasurer for Powell Valley Loaves and Fishes. She said the pantry saw a busier-than-normal summer.

As the need for food has grown, we hope the community’s sup-port will increase as well.

City of Powell residents can help the pantry without leaving their homes tomorrow night. During the 31st annual food drive, local youth will go door to door from 5:30-8 p.m. Wednesday, col-lecting non-perishable food for Powell Valley Loaves and Fishes.

During last year’s food drive, a resident unfamiliar with the local tradition posted to a classifieds page on Facebook, con-cerned that teenagers were knocking on doors and asking for food.

For those new to Powell, it may seem strange: When kids knock on the door during October, they’re usually doing so for tricks or treats.

But we’re thankful for our small-town atmosphere, where dozens of youth are willing to spend an autumn evening collect-ing food for a good cause instead of candy for themselves. The annual food drive teaches kids the importance of community service and helping those in need.

Powell High School students recently organized a food drive of their own during Homecoming week, collecting over 356 pounds of canned goods for Loaves and Fishes.

Sometimes, youth in Powell are on the receiving end of food donations. In addition to Powell Valley Loaves and Fishes, the local Backpack Blessings program provides food for kids to take home each week. About 105 children — which makes up more than 10 percent of the students in Powell’s elementary schools — receive weekend “care packages.” They’re backpacks filled with snacks and basic food to ensure children don’t go hungry over the weekends, when they don’t get school meals. Local churches make the backpack program possible.

From kindergartners to senior citizens, some Powell residents need assistance with their day-to-day meals. We’re thankful programs like Backpack Blessings and Powell Valley Loaves and Fishes step up to meet those needs in our town, but they can’t operate without our community’s support.

A jar of peanut butter or can of soup can help ensure a fellow Powellite has something to eat.

Should there be financial consequences for Wyo-ming school districts that

provide sanctuary to students who are illegal immigrants?

The Park County School Dis-trict No. 6 Board of Trustees in Cody is split on that question.

Rebecca George, who serves as a Cody school board trustee, proposed a resolution earlier this month that stated “the State of Wyoming shall not fund pub-lic institutions of education in the state that provide sanctuary to citizens of another country here illegally in violation of fed-eral law.”

George said she knows the issue is controversial to some, but she said the district needs to be proactive instead of reactive.

“It gives a stance ahead of time of what we feel and what we think and why. It has nothing to do with the students,” George said. “It has nothing to do with kicking them out ... if you’re not following the law, you need to be reported. Period, that’s it.”

George proposed the reso-lution for the school board to consider sending to the Wyo-ming School Boards Association (WSBA) delegate assembly. Resolutions approved by the delegates can become the WS-BA’s priorities for possible state legislation in the future.

The Cody school board voted 3-4 on the resolution, with trust-ees George, William Struemke and Scott Weber supporting the measure; trustees Kelly Simone, Stefanie Bell, Jenni Rosencranse and Tom Keegan opposed it.

“It just feels like federal politics at the local school board level,” Keegan said.

Trustee Bell said that when she took the oath of office, she pledged to obey the Constitution.

“But in addition to the things that we pledge, it’s my moral obligation to serve children,” Bell said. “And it is my inten-tion to serve all of the children in our district, and I view this resolution as a political state-ment. I don’t support making those types of political state-ments.”

George said she appreciated other board members’ feedback

and understood their concerns, and said she wasn’t politicizing the issue.

Trustee Weber asked how students who aren’t U.S. citi-zens would get into local schools.

“If it’s an illegal, how would they enroll in Cody High School? Don’t you have to have a birth certifi-cate or something when you come in? Wouldn’t we catch them there?” he asked.

“We have to provide birth cer-tificates when we register our kindergartners here, and so I asked that ques-tion to the legislator I was talking to, and he said it’s a fraud, it’s counterfeit,” George responded.

She said she has talked with a few legislators who are willing to sponsor the resolution.

Trustee Struemke said he had no problem with passing the resolution up to the WSBA, where it would get another look.

He said he was reminded of the saying, “If you’re not for it, you’re against it.”

“When this is sitting in front of me, if I vote against it, in my mind I’m saying, ‘Yeah, we’re a sanctuary school ... and c’mon down, we’re not working with the federal government on that,’” Struemke said, adding that “I disagree with that. We should be adhering to the fed-eral law on this.”

Board chair Kelly Simone responded that “just by passing a resolution or not passing it doesn’t mean anything about how you’re compliant with federal law, in my opinion.”

“So by not voting for it, it’s not saying that you are not going to comply with federal law. You still have to comply with federal law,” Simone said.

She said she wasn’t in favor of the resolution, saying she doesn’t want the district to dis-rupt student life.

“I personally don’t feel like addressing it at the student level is where it should be ad-dressed,” Simone said, adding, “And I don’t know that it has been an issue. It’s just not some-

thing I support.”A few trustees also expressed

concern that the resolution di-rected the state of Wyoming on school funding, saying it was an issue of local control.

The resolution included case law from the U.S. Supreme Court that “no public school district has a basis to deny chil-dren access to education based on their immigration status.”

Keegan brought up that point.“We aren’t denying them edu-

cation,” George responded. “But if someone comes knocking on the door and asks, ‘is this stu-dent here?’ Or, ‘is this student illegal?’ ... are we going to say no? It is a crime to live in this country illegally. It’s a crime.”

She said she put the work and effort into the resolution and was going to support it.

“I’ve learned lots and had a lot of fun doing it and talking to others,” George said. “But it’s not to be mean against anybody. It’s just to be proactive and to follow the law as it is written in the Constitution.”

Simone said she appreciated the work George put into it, and, “I just don’t know that a resolu-tion is necessary to enforce that we’re following the law.”

A helicopter will move a drill-ing rig from one location to the next this month as a study of slid-ing earth beneath the Chief Jo-seph Scenic Highway continues.

Motorists on Wyo. Highway 296 should expect traffic delays of up to 20 minutes while the helicopter is moving the drill, said Wyoming Department of Transportation district engineer Pete Hallsten. However, that will only happen four times within 10 days, “so it shouldn’t be a big deal,” Halsten added.

The contractor, Salisbury and Associates, planned to mobilize on Monday and start drilling to-day (Tuesday).

WYDOT is studying the slide area this fall and winter to deter-mine what repairs are needed to rebuild the highway through the slide area.

“We’re hoping analysis of this slide area will lead to a more-permanent fix in the long term,” Hallsten said.

WYDOT drilling of the slide area is scheduled to begin Oct. 23 and should take two to three weeks to complete.

The “Chief Joe Slide” is near Dead Indian Creek, about 26.1 miles from Wyoming 296’s inter-section with Wyo. Highway 120, northwest of Cody. The slide first appeared in March, during this year’s wet spring.

The highway remains open through the slide area, through a modified detour, with a lane open in each direction around the slide’s east edge, Hallsten said.

Fall is a busy time for hunter education courses and seats fill quickly before the majority of big game seasons open. However, those who were un-able to enroll in hunter safety this year still have an opportunity to hunt through the Wyoming Game and Fish Department’s Hunter Mentor Program.

If you were born after 1966, you must complete a hunter education course in order to be able to hunt in this state. However, the Hunter Mentor program gives hunters who have been unable to attend a course the opportunity to hunt under the close guidance of an experienced mentor.

“This special program creates opportunities for those potentially interested in hunting to experi-ence a hunt before committing to the hunter edu-cation coursework,” said Game and Fish hunter education coordinator Tristanna Bickford. “Many of the mentees enroll in a hunter education class immediately after using the program, while a num-ber of others take a hunter education course within a few years of being mentored.”

To qualify as a mentor in the program, you must:• Be at least 18 years of age.• Possess a valid hunter education certificate

and current Wyoming hunting license.• Sign the mentee’s special authorization cer-

tificate and document the hunting license type/number.

• Supervise only one mentee at a time in the field (a family member may mentor multiple im-mediate family members).

• Maintain direct supervision (within sight and direct voice contact) of the mentee at all times in the field.

“Mentors are also responsible for making sure their mentees conduct themselves in a safe, legal, ethical and responsible manner at all times,” Bick-ford said. “The mentor is responsible for making sure his or her mentee hunter understands the appropriate hunting regulations, safe hunting practices and ethical considerations during any mentored hunting experience.”

Anyone who plans to hunt in Wyoming can participate, but youth must be at least 12 to hunt big game. Mentors and mentees can enroll in the program online prior to hunting.

Tiffany Gamble loves every-thing Wyoming. As a collector, she’s always on the lookout for items with the famous bucking horse logo that represents her home state.

When she learned the Wyo-ming Department of Trans-portation was auctioning five decommissioned “Welcome to Wyoming” signs, the Casper woman immediately placed a bid that won her a sign.

WYDOT says it raised about $33,000 from the auction, which will go back into the depart-ment’s road improvement fund. The five signs fetched $10,000, $6,900, $6,600, $5,100 and $4,405.

Gamble already has plans for her sign. She said she will proud-ly display it at her Casper-based business, the Hat Six Travel Center.

“I’m not sure exactly where we’ll put it, but I’m going to talk to my managers to figure out the best spot,” said Gamble, the business adviser for the Hat Six Travel Center. “I know I want it to be displayed similarly to how it was on the interstate.”

The auction marked the first time WYDOT gave the public the opportunity to bid on decom-missioned signs. Previously, the department disposed of the signs by recycling them.

“The public was very excited in obtaining signs WYDOT is no longer using,” said Gregg Fredrick, WYDOT’s chief engi-neer. “We felt the auction would provide the best and fairest way possible for the public to own a piece of WYDOT’s history. These signs are a unique aspect of transportation because they welcomed visitors to our state

every day.”The five 8-by-4-foot alumi-

num signs came from different parts of the state. The depart-ment changes the welcome signs whenever the state issues a new license plate. The state changes its license plates every eight years, and the Welcome to Wyo-ming signs typically last about the same time. After that, the signs need replacement because of normal wear and tear.

Like Gamble, Rick Mollner has plans for his signs. Mollner, of Appleton, Wisconsin, placed successful bids on two signs.

“I really love everything Western, and I consider these Western art,” Mollner said. “I may put one in my driveway and another in my garage.”

WYDOT officials aren’t sure when there will be another on-line sign auction.

Are you prepared for winter driving?With winter conditions ahead, drivers

should remember that it takes extra time to slow down or stop on slick roads.

“Don’t use your cruise control, and drive at appropriate speeds. If you encounter poor visibility, slow down. Always slow down for safety,” said Pete Hallsten, WYDOT District 5 engineer. “If you don’t have to go, don’t.”

Wyoming roads are sometimes closed to travel due to wintry conditions; reasons may include snow depth, limited visibility, high winds, and drifted snows.

“We realize these clo-sures may be frustrating if you’re traveling or late for an appointment, but the road has been closed for a reason. In winter, give yourself extra time to reach your destination without having to drive faster than the conditions al-low,” Hallsten said in a news release. “Winter driving requires a light touch and a cautious approach.”

Some of the basic ways to be prepared include installing winter windshield wiper blades, and checking headlights and tire pres-sure.

When driving on ice, accelerate slowly —

pretend that an egg is sitting under your gas pedal.

To stop on the ice, remove your foot slowly from the gas pedal. If your vehicle is equipped with ABS brakes, step on your brakes when slowing. The braking system will help you stop on icy roads.

WYDOT encourages drivers to check road conditions by calling 511 or visiting www.wyoroad.info before you travel.

If you become stranded during the winter on the open road, stay with your vehicle. Your vehicle is your protection against winter weather, and stay-ing with it offers your

best refuge and protection of surviving a bliz-zard. If running your vehicle’s engine while stranded, make sure the exhaust pipe doesn’t become plugged with snow.

STAY BEHIND SNOW PLOWSWYDOT employees are out on the high-

ways every day and many nights attempting to provide a safe, high quality and efficient transportation system throughout Wyoming, Hallsten said.

DRIVING SAFELYDRIVING NEAR SNOW PLOWS REQUIRES CARE, PATIENCE

Tribune graphic by Gary Staebler

‘Winter driving requires a light touch and a cautious approach.’

Pete HallstenWYDOT district engineer

In the course of winter maintenance, WYDOT treats roads with liquid de-icers and anti-icers to keep ice bonding to roadways, or to remove the ice if it has already formed.

These mixtures include salt/sand, liquid salt brine, magnesium chloride and beet juice. When snowfall is in the forecast, some of these chemicals are sometimes applied to roads before storms to help keep snowpack from accumulating, and to assist with the removal of snow after the storm.

“We try to prevent the snowpack from forming, but we can’t always do that. Chemicals do help with the removal of the snowpack after the storm,” said Pete Hall-sten, WYDOT District 5 engineer.

Other chemicals are used continuously to help battle snowpack and icy conditions.

“We do what is called ‘pre-wetting.’ This is where we use a salt/sand mixture that has been pre-wet with a chemical, usu-ally salt brine (salt mixed with water). This helps the sand stick to the road,” he said.

Thanks to its devoted owner’s efforts, a 1969 Chevrolet C-10 half ton

pickup looks as sharp as the day it rolled off the show room floor.

“It’s a work in progress,” said Brady Melton, 23, of Powell.

The previ-ous owner was Melton’s grandfather, Robert Blair of Cody. He bought it brand spanking new, Melton said.

At 14, Melton got it. He has been restoring the Chevy for the last nine years, he said.

It’s a labor of love for his grandpa and family, Melton said. His mother and sisters learned to drive in the Chevy.

“Since I owned it I wanted

to drive away on my wedding day,” Melton said.

That was July 16, but the pickup wasn’t quite ready and the missus, Christine Melton, wasn’t ready to drive it.

The pickup came with a four on the floor, Melton said. “She’s (Christine) still learning how to drive the stan-dard (transmis-sion).”

They haven’t gone on their h o n e y m o o n yet, Melton said. Tentative

plans are a trip to Glacier Na-tional Park this summer.

Taking the Chevy?“I’d love to,” Melton said. “I

don’t know if she’d love it as much as I would.”

No air conditioning, AM radio only and the old half-ton doesn’t ride quite as smooth as Melton’s new diesel-powered

rig parked pristinely in the driveway.

The shiny silver truck looks nice, but the old Chevy cranks

up far quicker than its diesel counterpart when it’s cold, Melton said. On those frigid days/nights, Melton, a Powell

fireman, opts for his old truck that fires up and is ready to roll when fire department duty calls, he said.

The radio picks up 1260 AM — KPOW — best, Melton said.

POWELL MAN’S DREAM PICKUP

‘It’s not for driving fast — it’s for cruising around in. Makes you feel like you’re back in the day listening to the AM radio.’

The Bureau of Land Management will hold public meetings on Oct. 24 and 25 in Cody and Lovell to gather input on how it should manage the area’s caves and karsts.

The BLM says its multiple use and sustained yield mission directs the management and pro-tection of caves while also providing for recre-ational use and scientific research.

“The Cody Field Office needs your assistance as we develop a cave and karst management plan that addresses site specific needs that arise in a multiple use setting,” said BLM Cody Field Man-ager Delissa Minnick.

This plan will address the natural, undisturbed ecosystems within caves, recreational caving, scientific research and surface uses above caves.

The meetings will be held from 5-7 p.m. on Oct. 24 at the Cody library’s Grizzly Room and on Oct. 25 at the Lovell Community Center.

Additional information is available at http://bit.ly/cave_plan or by calling Destin Harrell or Bryan McKenzie at 307-578-5900.

Written comments may be submitted at the meeting, emailed to [email protected] (use “Cave Plan” in the subject line) or submitted to the Cody Field Office, 1002 Black-burn Street, Cody, WY 82414. The comment deadline is Nov. 30.

Public invited to participate in BLM cave and karst plan

CHEYENNE (AP) — A roundup of wild horses continued Monday in the desert of southwestern Wyoming after a judge declined to stop it during a lawsuit over how the animals are counted.

As of Sunday, U.S. Bureau of Land Manage-ment contract workers had rounded up 1,367 adult horses and 350 foals.

The agency could reach its goal of capturing 1,560 adults plus the foals of captured mares this week, bureau spokeswoman Kristen Lenhardt said.

The roundup is going on amid a dispute between horse advocates and federal officials over whether the foals should be included in the total count.

U.S. District Judge Nancy Freudenthal last week denied a request by the American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign and two wildlife photographers to halt the roundup while their law-suit against the bureau proceeds.

The roundup in three remote areas began Sept. 23. The horse advocates failed to show that allow-ing the roundup to continue would cause irrepa-rable harm, Freudenthal ruled.

“Delaying the gather would allow the wild horse population to expand, wasting the BLM’s scarce re-sources invested in organizing the proposed gather and forcing the BLM to lose out on the costs it has already incurred,” Freudenthal wrote.

The horse advocates’ lawsuit claims the roundup cannot exceed 1,560 horses, including the foals.

Lenhardt said the bureau was pleased with the judge’s decision. “Gathering wild horses to a sus-tainable population is necessary to ensure quality rangeland conditions for the wild horse herds,” she said.

Horse advocates said they were disappointed. But they pointed out Freudenthal had yet to rule on the crux of the lawsuit — that not counting foals toward the total would lead to rounding up hundreds more horses.

“This new tactic is a very different kind of ap-proach compared to the way they’ve done things previously,” their attorney, William Eubanks, said Monday.

Wild horses far exceed U.S. government popu-lation goals in many areas of the American West. The horses compete with cattle and sheep for forage. Ranchers for decades have demanded more action by federal officials to keep wild horse numbers down.

Some rounded up horses are offered up for adop-tion. Others go to wild horse sanctuaries.

BunionsA bunion is a prominence (bump) at the

base of the great toe. This occurs when the big toe starts lying or drifting towards the adjacent second toe. Pressure from shoes causes the prominence to become swollen and painful. Bunions occur more commonly in women, as they are more likely to wear tight shoes.

There is no single cause of a bunion. Most commonly there is an imbalance of forces on the toe which causes the bunion to develop progressively with time. There is usually a strong hereditary factor involved. In addition, spreading of the forefoot occurs with age. Flat feet, deforming forces and muscle imbalances all contribute to bunion deformities.

Nonsurgical treatment is accommodative

or palliative with the objective of relieving symptoms. These measures can include changing shoe gear, controlling muscle imbalances through prescription insoles, or padding the area.

If the above measures are not success-ful, then surgery is an alternative. Surgery attempts to realign and balance the great toe. During surgery, the bunion is shaved away and the great toe is aligned. It is usually performed on an outpatient basis. Recovery can vary from two to six weeks, depending on the severity of the deformity and the nature of the procedure.

Your podiatrist can tell you if you have a bunion by examining your feet. In some cases, an X-ray may be necessary to closer examine the bone alignment and to rule out arthritis. If you have concerns about a bunion, or if bunions are common in your family, perhaps it is time to see your podiatrist.

signaled his daughter to head his way. She grabbed her rifle and the two slid on their rears down the hill to the draw be-low. High winds covered the noise. Crouching down, they snuck to the next ridge, 150 yards from a small herd. The deer continued to feed.

Concealed by the ridge, Shelby lined up her shot. Ear-lier in the year, she placed second in the state at the 4-H air rifle competition — and she practiced by shooting milk jugs before the season started. She was steady and confident.

She fired and the doe fell. With a dozen years of expe-rience on family hunts, the 12-year-old had just taken her first deer. Frank gathered up his daughter and hugged her tight. And then they went to work, dressing and transport-ing the deer home to hang be-fore breakfast.

Despite living in an agricul-tural area, Shelby said only a few of her friends at Powell Middle School get the opportu-nity to hunt.

“I’m pretty lucky,” she said.Danika will start training

to hunt next year. Frank is planning to attend hunter’s education with his youngest daughter, like he did with Shelby, and then mentor her on a hunt next season.

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department sold 14,770 resident licenses to females last year as well as 8,790 resi-dent youth hunting licenses. Since 2008, the number of li-censes sold to resident female hunters has gone up about 32 percent (one-day licenses do not specify gender so the number of female hunters is actually higher). The Game and Fish has several programs in the works to attract women and children into the outdoor

sports, said Rebekah Fitzger-ald, communications and out-reach supervisor for the Game and Fish.

For women 18 and older, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department sponsors Becom-ing an Outdoors-Woman work-shops. The workshops give women a chance to learn the basics of canoeing, archery, fly-tying, shooting skills, back-packing, outdoor photography

and more, regardless of skill level. The 2018 date will be fi-nalized by the start of the year and will likely be in August.

“As women get interested in outdoor sports, they’ll bring their kids along,” Fitzgerald said.

The department also hired a new Hunter and Angler Par-ticipation Coordinator to try to reach families. Kathryn Bo-swell has already made an im-

pact, according to Fitzgerald. One program — a three-day shoot-ing and hunt-ing seminar for women and their children — ends Saturday with a pheasant hunt.

Boswell will also bring back the Outdoor Expo, a three-day affair aimed at families. Scheduled for May 17-19 in

Casper, the first two days will be geared to-ward educat-ing children on conserva-tion and activ-ities including hunting and fishing. On the final day, the entire family will come together

to enjoy shooting and fishing activities.

“Hopefully we’ll be able to connect the dots and the inter-est will continue through fall,” Fitzgerald said.

After Shelby’s shot found its mark on Sunday, Frank Fagan gathered his daughter in his arms and squeezed her tight.

“I love you, Pumpkin,” he said and kissed her forehead.

For Fagan it’s about more than gender. It’s about family. And he and Bre are exploding with pride that their children love the outdoor sports.

BY BREANNE THIELTribune Sports Writer

The Lady Panthers swim team defeated Cody in its final competi-tion of the regular season, com-

ing home with a team win of 102-74 in the dual. The Lady Panthers qualified a 15th swimmer for the state meet — Madison Lowery — and had 18 state qualifying times by 11 individuals.

“We are excited that Madison Lowery became our 15th athlete to qualify for state with a 28.47 [seconds] swim in the 50 [freestyle],” said head coach Bob Smartt. “[Lowery] also showed her po-tential in the backstroke by improving her personal best time from 1:20.07 to 1:15.38.”

In the last two events of the dual,

Smartt generally had the Lady Panthers swim in exhibition times so as not to run the score up on the Fillies.

Rylie Kannard was the only Powell swimmer who did not compete with an exhibition time in the 100 backstroke; she finished first with a state qualifying time of 1:10.88.

Smartt also said that “Sidney O’Brien had a nice win in the 50 free (28.09) and she achieved state cuts in both the 50 and 100 free, giving her more event op-tions at state.”

O’Brien finished second in the 100 freestyle with a time of 1:03.16.

Caitlyn Miner was a double winner, placing first in diving with a score of 175, as well as the 100 butterfly, where her time of 1:06.70 is less than one second from Powell Hall of Fame sta-tus. Both events were state qualifying scores.

“It was gratifying to see our depth on display with six athletes swimming faster than the state mark in the 50 free, and with five athletes doing so in the 100

backstroke,” Smartt said.The six individuals who swam state

qualifying times in the 50 freestyle — listed in order of first to sixth place — were O’Brien (28.09), Katrina Twitchell (28.25), Kendyl Bohlman (28.27), Rylie Kannard (28.29), Aspen Aguirre (28.36) and Lowery (28.47).

Also winning their events with state qualifying times were: Ashlyn Agu-irre in the 200 freestyle with a time of 2:19.91, Anna Fuller in the 200 IM with a time of 2:39.03 and Twitchell in the 500 freestyle with a time of 6:33.02.

The other state qualifying individual was JuliaKay O’Neill, who took second place in diving with a score of 170.40.

PHS SWIMMERS TAKE DOWN CODYPOWELL HOSTS 3A WEST CONFERENCE MEET FRIDAY AND SATURDAY

PHS Cross Country boys finish fifth, girls seventh at regionalsMERRITT AND KOLPITCKE EARN ALL-CONFERENCE


A pair of Powell High School cross country run-ners earned All Confer-

ence honors at the 3A West Regional Invitational on Friday. Kayla Kolpitcke and Alan Mer-ritt picked up the honors with their fourth and sixth place finishes on the girls’ and boys’ sides of the invite, respectively.

As a team, the Panthers fin-ished fifth and the Lady Pan-thers seventh.

The race was run at the Fort Bridger Historic Site — located 6 miles west of Mountain View — and resembled more of an ac-tual cross country course, with bridges crossing streams and the terrain not as smooth. Most races throughout the season occur on either golf courses or at parks. With the location and the number of turns, PHS head cross country coach Cliff Boos said the course was “not a real fast course.”

“It’s a nice tranquil setting,” he said. Boos described Friday as a good day for running, with weather in the 50s.

Cottonwoods and aspen trees along the stream — which this time of year are in full array of


The Lady Panthers hosted the Cody Fillies Thurs-day in the last home

game of the season, losing in three sets, 25-16, 25-20 and 25-16.

“The area that hurt us as a team was our defense,” said Powell High School head coach Randi Bonander. “Our block-ers and back row defense have to work together better to keep the ball in play.”

In all three sets, Cody scored the first point. In the first set, the Lady Panthers tied the game four times, but they were never able to take the lead and lost 25-16.

In the second set, the score was tied five times before the Lady Panthers took a 9-8 lead. The team maintained the lead until another tie at 14-all. The Lady Panthers and Fillies would tie and exchange leads until Cody grabbed a 17-16 advantage. From there, the Fil-lies scored seven unanswered points to go up 23-16.

The Lady Panthers rallied, but lost the second set 25-20.

In the third set, the Fillies scored the first three points and never lost the lead. With Cody up 24-12, the Lady Pan-thers fought back with four straight points, but the Fil-lies sealed the deal to win the third set, and subsequently the match, with a score of 25-16.

On the offensive side, the Lady Panther’s serving per-centage as a team was 90.4 percent, with four girls at 100 percent: Alli Sommerville, Au-brie Stenerson, Jordan Walsh and Natalie Ostermiller.

“We also need to have all our hitters attacking the ball

to keep our opponents’ defense honest,” Bonander said.

Hartly Thorington led the team in kills with nine and Stenerson was right behind her with eight.

“After conference duals we made a couple of changes in the lineup that helped fill some of the weaker areas which showed us some options that are available to us going for-ward,” Bonander explained.

The Powell girls recorded just a single block against Cody, the team’s lowest total of

The Powell Panthers football team traveled to play the No. 1 team in the state Friday and found Star

Valley to be all they could handle, losing 40-7 in Afton.

The defending state champion and undefeated Braves took advantage of several second quarter miscues by the Panthers, resulting in a short field and jumping out to a quick lead, catching Powell off guard and not allowing the 1-6 Panthers (1-4 in conference) to find their rhythm.

“It’s always a tough place to play and that’s a very very good Star Valley team, but we went toe-to-toe with them

for two quarters, so I was really pleased with that,” Panthers head coach Chanler Buck said.

With the win over the Panthers, the Braves are now on a 13-game win-ning streak.

“We knew what we were getting ourselves into going down there against the No. 1 team in the state,” Buck said.

In the Braves’ open-ing drive, they incurred three penalties — a false start followed by an illegal block and concluded with a call for too many men in motion — and punted to Powell. After a three-and-out from the

Panthers, the Braves received the ball on their own 29 yard line and marched the ball down the field. Kaelan Groves broke up a Star Valley pass in the end zone to save a touchdown, but the Braves eventually broke through to go up 7-0 with 1:20 remaining in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Powell moved back-

wards in four out of five plays and the Braves took over on the Panther 47-yard line, resulting in a touchdown with

“that can be attributed to the changes in our lineup where different players are blocking together.”

The single block came from Brook Sweet and Jazlyn Haney in the third set.

“The girls never gave up, which says a lot, and I think we are finally all healthy, which is great timing,” Bonander said.

The Lady Panthers will travel to Riverton on Friday with game time slated at 6 p.m. On Saturday, they’ll square off against Lander at 1 p.m.

“This next week we will make ad-justments for our road competitions against Riverton and Lander to finish up the season,” Bonander said.

With the regular season coming to a close, Cody currently leads the 3A West North Quadrant with a 4-0 conference record. Riverton is second with a conference record of 3-1, Pow-ell third at 1-3 and Lander fourth with an 0-4 record.

10:07 remaining. The Braves faked a PAT and the Panthers’ thwarted the 2-point conversion, limiting the lead to 13-0.

On Powell’s next possession, the team went three-and-out, and the snap for the punt went over Josh Wolfe’s head, resulting in the Braves taking over on the Panthers’ 5-yard line. The Braves scored again with 8:10 remaining and led 20-0.

Buck said the team knew that, to have some success, they were going to have to execute flawlessly.

“A good team takes advantage of those types of situations and that’s exactly what happened in the second quarter,” Buck said.

With 6:07 on the clock, a pass was intercepted around the Panther 20-yard line and resulted in another Braves’ touchdown. The Braves PAT was no good, but Star Valley had a 26-0 lead.

With 3:12 left in the first half, the Braves then blocked a Wolfe punt to

take over on Powell’s 26-yard line. The short field gave the Braves time to score one last time before halftime, going into the locker room with a 33-0 lead.

“I thought we could have started faster with a little more energy ear-ly in the game,” Buck said. “That second quarter was certainly the deciding factor.”

At halftime, Star Valley had a total of 251 yards on offense, where-as Powell only had 41.

“Aside from the scoreboard going into halftime, I was really pleased with how we responded coming out in the third,” Buck said.

In the third quarter, Powell held Star Valley scoreless and put up seven of their own points with a 27 yard pass from Groves to Luke Wash-

ington. That brought the score to 33-7 going into the final quarter of play.

With 5:29 remaining in the game, the Braves scored their final touch-down of the night for a score of 40-7.

“I was really proud of our kids with the way they responded — just

overall their attitude and their will to keep fighting and our productivity showed for it on offense and defense,” Buck said.

In the second half, the Panthers shifted into lockdown mode, holding the Braves to just 76 yards in the last two quarters. Star Valley would finish with 327 yards on offense for the

game, whereas the Panthers more than tripled their offensive produc-tion for a total of 178 yards.

Powell finished the game with only one 5-yard penalty, while the Braves amassed a total of eight. The Pan-

thers had no turnovers in the second half.

For the Panthers, Groves went 10 for 21 under center for 84 yards, with one touchdown pass and one inter-ception. Washington had three catch-es for 50 yards and a touchdown.

On the ground, A.J. Lewis had 15 carries for 119 yards, while Groves had 12 carries for 25 yards and was sacked five times.

Star Valley’s Hunter Jacobson led the way for the Braves with 130 yards on the ground, while Josh Dawson had 90 all-purpose yards for the de-fending champions.

The final game for the Panther’s 2017 season will be this Friday in Cody at 7 p.m.

“It’s a healthy rivalry and I think our teams match up well and it should be a good football game,” Buck said.

Cody is firmly seeded in the No. 3 slot for the 3A West Conference.

“It’s a good opportunity to finish this thing strong and do it the right way,” Buck said.

West Conference meet this weekend, with a start time slated to begin at noon on Fri-day and resume at 10 a.m. on Saturday.

seven teams with 112 points. Star Val-ley won the competition with 22 points. The Braves’ five fastest runners finished first, second, third, fifth, seventh and ninth.

LADY PANTHERSThe Lady Panthers’ long distance

runners — a group that’s struggled all season to have enough runners to submit a team score — had five runners healthy enough to compete at the conference invite.

“Never saw so many kids with illness-es throughout the season like this,” Boos said of both the girls and boys teams.

As a team, the Lady Panthers finished seventh with 144 points.

Kolpitcke, a sophomore, finished first on the team and earned All-Conference honors with her fourth place overall fin-ish out of 68 runners with a time of 21:07.

Gracen Curtis with a time of 23:36 for 33rd place overall. Abby Landwehr was the third Lady Panther to cross the finish line with a time of 24:34 for 40th overall.

Madelyn Horton placed fourth on the team with a time of 26:08 for 50th over-all placement. Jenna Merritt finished fifth with a time of 27:24 for 60th place.

On Saturday, the long distance run-ners will head to Sheridan to compete in the 3A State Cham-pionship Invitational. The 2A and 4A State Championships will be held concurrently. Coach Boos said he likes that all classes have the state meet at the same date and location because there are some “great athletes we have from such a small state like this; it’s pretty impressive.”

The Panthers will run at 10:30 a.m. and the Lady Panthers will run at noon.

The races will be held at the Sheridan VA Medical Center.

Each team is only al-lowed to have a total of seven runners compete, but can bring eight run-ners — with the eighth serving as an alternate.

Boos said determining which Powell runners get to compete at state depended on the aver-age times and place-ment among the team throughout the entire season. “Our boys are pretty consistent all sea-son,” the coach added.

The seven Panthers who will compete are: Merritt, Pfeifer, Yates, Hernandez, Erickson, Robirds and Queen.

Brazelton will serve as the alternate.All five of the Lady Panthers who ran

at the conference meet will get to attend the state meet.

On Thursday, PVC Roof-ing topped all the teams with a high pin total of 1,620 pins.

Stephen Burtoft had the high series for men with a pin total of 500. Stephen had games of 164, 171 and 165; Burtoft bowled 74 pins over his season average.

Geri Bulkeley had high se-ries for the women with a pin total of 378.

The Powell High School golf team of-ficially wrapped up the 2017 season this month with its end of the year

banquet, handing out awards for most valu-able, most improved and most inspirational.

The boys team finished seventh out of the 13 teams in 3A while the girls were one member short of posting a team score.

All three awards are voted on by the members of the team.

For the Panthers, the most valuable award went to junior Rob Sessions. Sessions shot an average round of 90.8 over 10 tour-

nament rounds.For the Lady Panthers, sophomore My-

cah Wainscott was voted most valuable, averaging a 110 over eight tournament rounds.

Most improved for the Panthers resulted in a tie between sophomore Crandell Sand-ers and senior Treven Keeler.

Sanders improved by eight shots over last year, while Keeler improved by five shots since 2016 and by 31 shots since his fresh-man year.

Sophomore Kaitlyn Church was voted most improved for the Lady Panthers. Church had no tournament experience prior to the 2017 season.

For the Panthers, most inspirational was awarded to junior Reece Hackenberg.

“Losing varsity seniors Treven Keeler and Kacey Creed will hurt our experience some since both of them have played in tournaments for the past four years, but we are fortunate to return a very strong nucleus on the boys team with four of our top six players returning,” said PHS golf coach Troy Hildebrand.

As for the Lady Panthers, “we will look for one more member or so to fill out a team score,” Hildebrand said. “With both Mycah [Wainscott] and Kaitlyn [Church] only be-ing sophomores we have a bright future on that side as well.”

BY ILENE OLSONTribune Staff Writer

Homesteader Museum looked even more histori-cal than usual for a morn-

ing last month, with eight Ford Model A vehicles parked in front of the museum.

The classic cars and one pickup belong to members of the Northern Colorado Model A Club, which took a morning out of its tour of the Cody and Yellowstone region to visit the museum in Powell.

The club was on its annual trip.“We try to put one big tour

together every year,” said Club President Don Hood.

Members drove 436 miles from Loveland, Colorado, a few days earlier. Three club members drove their Model A cars to Cody, while the rest hauled them up.

Previous destinations include the Grand Canyon in Arizona and Mount Rushmore in South Dakota.

There are 56 family member-ships in the club. Of those, 14 joined the tour, with nine Model A vehicles. It’s not necessary to own a Model A to be a member, “just an interest in restoring and preservation of the Model A,” Hood said.

Hood said club members were impressed with the reception they got in the Powell and Cody area.

“We’ve all been treated very well. Everybody has been kind and courteous,” he said. “Some-times we do feel, when we’re on a tour, that people want to take a quick look at the cars, then they want us to disappear and get out of the way. ... We know these cars are slower moving than the traffic these days, but we all try to be as safe as we can.”

After a pleasant foray through the museum, club members en-joyed lunch at a restaurant.

Larry Roche served as Wagon Master, or trip leader.

“I’m glad I did enough re-search to discover this Powell Homesteaders’ Museum,” he said.

Acclaimed indie rock artist Kishi Bashi will perform two concerts in the area to help raise awareness of the 75th anniversary of Japanese American in-carceration during World War II.

The first will take place at 7:30 p.m. Friday in the Nelson Performing Arts Center at Northwest College.

A second concert will take place at 3 p.m. Saturday, in the original bar-rack at Heart Mountain Interpretive Center.

Kishi Bashi will be joined by singer-songwriter Julian Saporiti. Saporiti will talk about his work with Japanese American incarceration at noon on Friday in Northwest College’s Inter-cultural House, 565 College Drive.

All events are free and open to the public. Donations to support ongoing research are appreciated.

Kishi Bashi (real name Kaoru Ishibashi) is an internationally tour-ing singer, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter. In 2017, he began a collab-orative project with Saporiti, traveling to different sites of incarceration to explore Asian-American history and identity through music and scholar-ship. While at Heart Mountain, Kishi Bashi will continue to film a documen-tary about his process of composing a symphonic work inspired by visits to various sites of incarceration.

In the upcoming concerts, Kishi Bashi will perform selections from his rich catalogue of intricate indie-orchestral pop.

Saporiti, a doctoral student at Brown University and lecturer at the University of Wyoming, will perform songs from his “No-No Boy” project.

During his talk at the Intercultural House, Saporiti will describe how he turns his research on Japanese Amer-ican incarceration into song.

Kishi Bashi and Saporiti will be joined at both concerts by vocalist Erin Aoyama, a Brown doctoral stu-dent whose grandmother was incar-cerated at Heart Mountain.

The barrack that will serve as the setting for Saturday’s concert was recently returned to the site by the Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation and is currently under restoration.

Space is limited for the intimate performance, so reservations are re-quested. For more information, or to reserve a spot, call Heart Mountain Interpretive Center at 754-8000 or send an email to [email protected].

Northwest College ag students awarded

scholarships

Two Northwest College students — Kameesha Kay Morris of Cody and Taylor Vaughn of Wheatland — have been awarded $1,000 scholarships to continue their agricultural course-

work. The 2017-18 scholarships come from Farm Credit Services of America (FCSAmerica), a customer-owned financial cooperative.

Morris, the daughter of Lara and Luke Morris of Cody, is majoring in rangeland ecology and ag business. Vaughn is majoring in agriculture business.

FCSAmerica provides scholar-ships to 44 students studying agri-culture at 22 vocational-technical

schools and community colleges in Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wyoming — including Northwest College. This is the 20th year that FCSAmerica has awarded commu-nity college scholarships.

“Providing educational support to our future producers and agribusi-ness leaders is one of the many ways FCSAmerica supports the communi-ties we serve,” said Melany Kizzire, FCSAmerica’s vice president of re-

tail operations. “Those of us who are involved in the agriculture industry understand the rewards of working with farmers and ranchers.”

To be eligible for the scholarships, students must attend school full-time, be between the ages of 18 and 22, enrolled in agricultural course-work with a 3.0 grade-point average or higher and permanent residents of Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota or Wyoming.

Hinkle stays on boardCody resident Terry Hinkle has been

reappointed to the Wyoming Senior Services Board. The board, picked by Gov. Matt Mead, consists of seven voting members. They review emergency grant proposals and develop criteria for the distribution of state funds to 39 senior centers across Wyoming. Hinkle began his second four-year term on July 1.

Approve-Monthly Earnings and Collections.The monthly earnings and collection statements

for the Clerk, Clerk of District Court, and Sheriff were presented for approval. Commissioner Grosskopf moved to approve, seconded by Commissioner Tilden and motion carried.

Approve correction of clerical mistakes on Resolu-tion 2017-40 (Linda Gillett, Planning Director)

Ms. Gillett presented the corrections to the board for approval which included adding an (s) to the word document (page 4), and, according to Park County Attorney, Condition #2 under “Now, therefore…” should have read “up to 4 residents having mental and/or physical disabilities.” Commissioner Tilden made a motion to approve the changes to Resolution 2017-40 as presented, Commissioner Fulkerson sec-onded and motion carried. RESOLUTION 2017-41

Request permission to hire replacement employee (Tim Waddell, Solid Waste Manager)

Mr. Waddell reported losing two gate attendants in the last month. One position was approved to be filled already and the other position is a 29 ½ hour position that was recently vacated. It will be replaced a step lower than the current employee was earning. Commissioner Fulkerson made a motion to approve the request to hire, Commissioner Tilden seconded and motion carried.

Approve Health, Safety & Wellness Committee’s incentive program amounts (Colleen Renner, Park County Clerk)

Commissioner Grosskopf asked about the full incentive sheet which was not presented today as it is still being updated. The request is to approve the dollar amounts for the incentive payout. Com-missioner Grosskopf made a motion to approve the dollar amounts as presented with the remaining documentation to come at a later date, Commissioner Tilden seconded and motion carried.

Commissioner Grosskopf – RE: Update on Wyo-ming County Commissioners Association Washing-ton, DC trip

Commissioner Grosskopf reported there were eleven who went on this “PILT Fly-in” trip. Discus-sions included Payment in Lieu of Taxes, Secure Rural Schools, the Endangered Species Act, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) updates, Resource Planning 2.0, Environmental Impact Statements, grizzly bears and wolves, to name a few. Senator Enzi and Representative Cheney received the Sheep Mountain letter as did BLM. Senator Barrasso’s was mailed. There was discussion of forest fires, forest management, wildfire prevention, and natural resource extraction. The attitude in DC is entirely different than the past.

Jennifer Tippetts, Powell Medical Foundation – RE: Consider letter of support for Mineral Royalty Grant Application from Powell Hospital District for ambulance for hospital emergency department

Ms. Tippetts came to the board requesting a letter of support to replace an increasingly unreliable ambulance. They have raised 54.5% of the monies needed through local grants and contributions. They would like to request the remaining 45% from the State Lands & Investment Board. Commissioner Fulkerson made a motion to draft a letter of support for the Board to sign, Commissioner Tilden seconded and motion carried.

Kim Dillivan, Planner II – RE: Public Hearing: Sean Dimsey is requesting a variance to LUC-102 sign regulations that would allow off-site businesses advertisement

Chairman Livingston opened the Public Hearing. Mr. Dillivan brought before the Board a variance request to LUC-102 that allows for signs, billboards, and associated structures except those which directs attention to a business, commodity, service, entertainment or attraction sold, offered or existing elsewhere than upon the same parcel of land where sign is displayed. The applicant has an approved building permit (2017-128) for a sign/billboard. The location is approximately 19 miles west of Cody on the Northfork Hwy.

Legal notices have been met. LUC-102 was approved by the Commission on November 4, 1993. Public comments were received in opposition of the request. After discussion and questions to the staff, Chairman Livingston and Commissioner Tilden asked questions of the applicant. The Chair opened the floor for public comments with the reminder to direct com-ments to the chair and state their name for the record.

Bob Beale, for the Absaroka Mountain Meadows Subdivision, and William Johnson both spoke in opposition and asked those present to raise their hands if they were against the variance. Karl Dembik, Ira Fellows, Pia Brauser, Marjorie Tallen, and Elaine Haberland also commented in opposition. Amanda Seibert spoke in favor of the variance.

Commissioner French stated he was struggling with this request. Commissioner Grosskopf com-mented that at the last land use review, there were no public comments on changes to the sign variance.

Commissioner Tilden made a motion to close the Public Hearing, Commissioner Fulkerson seconded and motion carried. Commissioner Fulkerson noted that none of the five standards of review were fulfilled.

Commissioner Tilden made a motion to deny the variance and Commissioner Fulkerson seconded. Commissioner French opposed, and motion carried. RESOLUTION 2017-42.

~ Convene as the Board of Equalization ~ Hearing Officer Ed Luhm took over the proceed-

ing to deliberate in the matter of the tax protest of Merit Energy Company, Docket No. 2017-01. These proceedings are being electronically recorded. Both sides have submitted their findings of fact to the Board.

The depreciation law was discussed at length, with regards to replacement cost, trend cost, residual cost and how the parties disagree. The Board noted that operating an oil and gas field requires all equipment to be kept in good working condition. Merit Energy had the opportunity to ask for a review of each piece of equipment assessed and come with evidence stat-ing different values.

After all comments and questions were presented and discussed, Commissioner Grosskopf made a motion to affirm the Assessor’s valuation and deny the appeal, Commissioner Livingston seconded and motion carried. The proposed order will be presented to the Board before the October 1 deadline.

Chairman Livingston called to adjourn as the Board of Equalization. Commissioner Grosskopf made the motion to adjourn, Commissioner Tilden seconded and motion carried.

Break for LunchBill Crampton, Public Health Nurse Manager – RE:

Public Health monthly update; request permission for out of state travel for Kimball Croft and request permission to hire replacement employee

Mr. Crampton reported there is a downward trend in total contacts. With further investigation, it came to his attention some of the staff were not charting and reporting in to the system.

Mr. Crampton is seeking permission for Kimball Croft to travel to Aniston, Georgia and San Diego for CDC and Emergency Preparedness training. These costs are covered through the grant the county receives. Commissioner Tilden made a motion to allow the out-of-state travel, Commissioner Gross-kopf seconded and motion carried.

Flu season is coming and the dates are set for the clinics in Powell - October 4 at the Fairgrounds, and Cody - October 18 at the Cody Auditorium. The cost is $25 for adults and $20 for children. There will be clinics set up in surrounding areas but dates are not confirmed at this time.

Northwest Wyoming Family Planning will do a walk through in a week and then will be up and run-ning in the Annex.

Mr. Crampton received a letter of resignation from the grant nurse in Powell. She will be leaving in 30 days. The funds for this position come through a grant, but they are still classified as a county employee. Commissioner Grosskopf made a motion to replace the grant nurse in Powell, Commissioner Tilden seconded and motion carried.

Scott Steward, Park County Sheriff – RE: Discuss disposal of the DARE car

Mr. Steward requested permission to dispose of the Dare car, which is an older Mustang that was seized years ago. The ghost flames are permanent and all the other advertising will be removed. He would like to have this vehicle entered for sealed bids in the upcoming county garage sale, with the monies going towards the fundraising for a new Search and Rescue truck. There is a non-profit account already set up. Commissioner Fulkerson made a motion to allow the vehicle to go to the county garage sale with the money made on the sale going to the non-profit account, Commissioner Tilden seconded and motion carried.

Commissioners – RE: Congratulate Luke Maslak and Dave Wildman

Chairman Livingston wanted to first-hand thank

Mr. Wildman and Mr. Maslak for putting their own safety aside and helping rescue a civilian from a canal in Powell. The Board is proud to have them as their employees and truly do appreciate what they did. Pictures were taken and congratulations was given by all Commissioners.

Teecee Barrett, Events Coordinator & Mike Garza, Buildings & Grounds Superintendent – RE: Consider agreement with City of Powell for snow storage at Fairgrounds

Mr. Garza was absent. Ms. Barrett presented an agreement from the City of Powell, requesting them to deposit snow it removes from the city streets in places designated by the County on or within the Park County Fairgrounds. The City is aware of the new drainage being put in at the Fairgrounds and will make arrangements accordingly. Mr. Butts, Street Superintendent with Powell, stated they will stay within the bounds the County lays out for them. Chairman Livingston requested that the agreement be changed to allow the Chairman to sign on behalf of Park County. Ms. Barrett will get a corrected copy.

Commissioner Grosskopf made a motion to approve snow collection and deposit agreement between City of Powell and Park County and allow chair to sign once the corrected document is sub-mitted, Commissioner Tilden seconded and motion carried.

Commissioners – RE: Consider nominations to Local Government Liability Pool (LGLP) board and Consider Beartooth Electric Cooperative ballot

No names were submitted for LGLP board nomi-nations.

Commissioner French made a motion to vote for Daniel Dutton for Beartooth Electric District 1. Commissioner Tilden seconded and motion carried. Commissioner Grosskopf made a motion to approve all three bylaw amendments on the ballot, Commis-sioner Fulkerson seconded and motion carried. Ms. Gerharter, Commissioners’ Assistant will complete the proper paperwork.

Adjourn. Commissioner Tilden made a motion to adjourn,

Commissioner French seconded and the motion carried.

A Gillette kindergarten teacher has been named Wyoming’s 2018 Teacher of the Year.

Sara Reed teaches at Hillcrest Elemen-tary School in Campbell County School District No. 1.

In announcing the award last week, State Superintendent Jillian Balow said Reed is the kind of teacher that every par-ent hopes is in their child’s classroom.

“Mrs. Reed is a selfless teacher that puts her students first at every turn. She embraces the joys and challenges of teaching our youngest learners and understands that her impact reaches far beyond the classroom or a single school year,” Balow said.

Mrs. Reed was raised in a family of

educators in Gillette, and has taught at Hillcrest for 12 years. She is known for making every effort to get to know each student and their families so she can tailor her teaching to their needs, the De-partment of Education said in a news re-lease. She also incorporates “movement with a purpose” into her classroom to help her students improve in their read-ing and writing.

Hillcrest Elementary School Principal Brad Winter says Reed gives her students a great start to their educational career by ensuring that they have a positive experience in her classroom — and is es-pecially skilled at working with students with challenging behaviors.

“She actually requests to have students

with known behavioral challenges in her homeroom because she is confident in her ability to help them learn to manage their behaviors and have a positive experience in kindergarten,” Winter said.

Reed developed a mentor program, which pairs each kindergartner with a sixth grader at the beginning of the school year to ease the transition into school. She matches students based on interest, gen-der and culture — making sure English Language Learner students have a men-tor who can speak their home language. The buddies eat lunch together every day for the first month of school, then the last Friday of every month. They do STEM projects, holiday projects, reading, write letters and play educational games

throughout the year. Principal Winter said the mentor program has helped ease the stress of starting kindergarten for many students and their families.

“During her 12 years as a kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Reed has taken every stu-dent in her class and worked to meet their needs, no matter what learning style they may have or other hardship they may be dealing with outside of school,” said Campbell County School District No. 1 Superintendent Boyd Brown, adding that Reed “will be a great role model as the Wyoming State Teacher of the Year.”

Reed will serve as an education am-bassador for Wyoming, and is the state’s nominee for the National Teacher of the Year Program.
