Single museums director
plan gets go-ahead from
county commissioners
Airborne
BY ERIC BLOM
Staff Writer
The Fremont County Museums Board
has approval to begin hiring a central director for its three institutions. Commissioners
unanimously supported the move at its
Sept. 3 meeting but questioned a proposal
to increase the museums budget.
The vote to approve hiring a central director came after more than an hour of discussion on a proposed budget for a
museums’ staff and a job description for the
new position. Commissioners had issues
with both documents but supported the
change to administrative structure.
“Am I hearing you right that you want
us to go forward and start hiring?” museums board chairman Steve Banks asked. “In
my estimation that would be the route to
go. I want to be certain if we take that action that is going to be the right step to
take us to the next level.”
Several commissioners said they supported starting the hiring process, and then
the county board voted unanimously to approve it.
The museums board at the meeting presented a proposed budget for a one-director
structure that included $44,000 more for
personnel than the current budget. The increase came from adding a $48,000 salary
of the central director and moving a 35hour-a-week administrative assistant to full
time.
Salaries in the proposed budget for the
site managers for the Riverton and Pioneer
museums would decrease by $5,700 each.

Those positions are vacant.
Staffing levels under the proposal are the
same as they are now but with the addition
of the central director. Personnel would include a full-time central administrator, a
full-time site manager and full-time curator
for each of the three museums.
Museums board members thought
adding the central administrator would
make the system work better.
Banks also asked for help from other
county departments in areas such as building maintenance and human resources.
“If we were to relieve the site directors
from all (duties related to physical plant) it

Council considers water, sewer rate changes

acted.
The city is required to publish a public notice of the hearing in the
Lander Journal.
A proposed adjustment in water and sewer rates that may mean increases for some residents and reductions for others was the topic of a
public hearing in front of Lander City Council Sept. 3.
Carl Brown of Carl Brown Consulting, LLC, was contracted in
March to create a water and sewer rate analysis for the city, according
to treasurer Charri Lara. Brown was known to Lara as a frequent
speaker at rural water conventions and because of the number of rate
analysis he has completed for towns in Wyoming. Nationwide,
Brown has completed more than 800 rate analysis in the last 20 years.
The data examined was from July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012.
Brown’s conclusions: sewer rates should likely increase for all Lander city residents and water rates should increase for some. Decreases
in water rates for some residents are a possibility, he said.
“Your sewer rates need to be adjusted in a major way for everybody,” Brown said at the hearing. “Your water rates need to be adjusted for your higher-use customers. This is a right-sizing of rates.”
Brown’s report is a recommendation. A rate increase requires three
readings by council, and the hearing is the first of a possible two that
councilors mentioned holding before any increases were to be en-
“
METHODOLOGY
Brown’s report synopsis states that both the water and sewer systems have strong reserves, and the reason for resetting rates is to
maintain and build on them. Lara in an interview Thursday agreed.
“It’s an aging infrastructure,” she said.
Brown based his water study on meter size. He proposed a uniform unit charge inside city limits, a higher but also uniform charge
outside the city, and surcharges to a base minimum charge that takes
capacity of meter size into account.
Most in-city residential users have a 5/8” pipe.
Sewer rates would also be based on volume usage and water meter
size.
He noted the positive side for the city is it would know its revenue
stream; the positive side for the customer is in knowing the cost to
them.

Those responsible for leaving a
man dead and woman beaten unconscious on the Rails to Trails path
Wednesday morning are in custody,
law enforcement believes.
Fremont County Coroner Ed
McAuslan on Friday identified the
homicide victim as David Ronald

Lander Police Department officers stepped outside their jurisdiction to assist in the investigation
Thursday.
The Fremont County Sheriff’s

two male juveniles from Riverton at
7 p.m. Thursday in connection
with the attacks, which took place

SECOND VICTIM
“Investigators at this time believe the two acted together, and
there are no further suspects at

continuing and will for some time,”
undersheriff Ryan Lee said. The female victim is in her late 30s. She
was still in critical condition and at
a hospital as of Friday morning, but
the Sheriff’s Office would not disclose her location. Earlier reports
stated that she had been airlifted to
the Wyoming Medical Center in

The Fremont County School
District 1 Board of Trustees will be
conducting a survey regarding the
change of school-year schedules to
get community input.
The board of trustees met Friday,
and had a lengthy discussion regarding four-day school weeks and yearround schooling.
It was made clear by the board, if
such a schedule change were to take
place, it would not happen for at
least a couple of years, and Friday’s
discussion was only a preliminary
look at what other school districts in
the state are doing.
“Board members have been intrigued by the ideas,” said chairman
Brett Berg.

Potential day reporting center
site toured: no decision yet
BY ERIC BLOM
Staff Writer
A program that gives youths in trouble with the law an alternative to
incarceration and expulsion is developing a new site for its day reporting
center.
Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative director Melinda Cox gave
Fremont County commissioners a tour of the location Tuesday.
“No decisions were made,” commissioner Keja Whiteman said.
“Within the next couple of weeks we will have a decision whether we will
want to use it as a day reporting center.”
The building is a former farmhouse near the intersection of Gasser
Road and Major Avenue in Riverton. Fremont County acquired the site as
a part of the Major property, which is also planned to be the location of a
new Riverton justice center.

Fed faces an ailing, healing job market
WASHINGTON (AP) — Just
how sturdy is the U.S. job market?
That’s the key question the
Federal Reserve will face when it
decides later this month whether to
reduce its economic stimulus.
The answer depends on where
you look.
The economy has added jobs for
35
straight
months.
Unemployment has reached a 4½year low of 7.3 percent. Layoffs are
dwindling.
Yet other barometers of the job
market point to chronic weakness:
The pace of hiring remains
tepid. Job growth is concentrated
in lower-paying industries. The
Japan’s delegation celebrated Saturday as the decision to award the 2020 summer Olympics to
Tokyo was announced. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe (with flag, third from left) was in the group.

Tokyo will host 2020 Olympics
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Tokyo was
awarded the 2020 Olympics on Saturday, capitalizing on its reputation as a “safe pair of hands” and
defying concerns about the Fukushima nuclear crisis.
Tokyo defeated Istanbul 60-36 in the final round of
secret voting by the International Olympic
Committee. Madrid was eliminated earlier after an
initial tie with Istanbul.
Tokyo, which hosted the 1964 Olympics, billed
itself as the reliable choice at a time of global political
and economic uncertainty — a message that resonated with the IOC.
“Tokyo can be trusted to be the safe pair of hands
and much more,” bid leader and IOC member
Tsunekazu Takeda said in the final presentation. “Our
case today is simple. Vote for Tokyo and you vote for
guaranteed delivery. … Tokyo is the right partner at
the right time.”
Tokyo had been on the defensive in the final days
of the campaign because of mounting concerns over
the leak of radioactive water from the tsunami-crippled Fukushima nuclear plant.
In the final presentation, Japanese Prime Minister
Shinzo Abe gave the IOC assurances that the
Fukushima leak was not a threat to Tokyo and took
personal responsibility for keeping the games safe.
“Let me assure you the situation is under control,”
Abe said. “It has never done and will never do any
damage to Tokyo.”
Abe gave further assurances when pressed on the
issue by Norwegian IOC member Gerhard Heiberg.
“It poses no problem whatsoever,” Abe said in
Japanese, adding that the contamination was limited
to a small area and had been “completely blocked.”
“There are no health related problems until now,
nor will there be in the future,” he said. “I make the
statement to you in the most emphatic and unequivocal way.”
Tokyo Electric Power Co., Fukushima’s operator,
has acknowledged that tons of radioactive water has
been seeping into the Pacific from the plant for more
than two years after the March 2011 earthquake and
tsunami led to meltdowns at three of its reactors.
Recent leaks from tanks storing radioactive water used
to cool the reactors have added to fears that the situation remains unstable.
economy is 1.9 million jobs shy of
its pre-recession level — and that’s
not counting the additional jobs
needed to meet population growth.
Nearly 4.3 million people have
been unemployed at least six
months.
What’s more, employers have little incentive to raise pay. Many
unhappy employees have nowhere
else to go.
Still, when it meets Sept. 17-18,
the Fed is expected to reduce its
$85 billion a month in bond purchases by perhaps $10 billion. Its
purchases have helped keep homeloan and other borrowing rates low
to try to encourage consumers and

The unemployment rate slid in
August to 7.3 percent, its lowest
level since December 2008.
Unemployment had peaked in
October 2009 at 10 percent and
has since fallen more or less steadily. Since then, the number of people who say they have jobs has risen
by 5.7 million. And the number of
those who say they’re unemployed
has dropped by nearly 4.1 million.
That’s the good news behind the
tumbling unemployment rate.
But the rate has been falling, in
part, for a bad reason: People are
dropping out of the labor force.
LAWN & GARDEN TIPS
In anticipation of the fall foliage
season that will soon be upon us,
we are going to offer a different one
of our favorite fall foliage plants as
our ‘plant of the week’ at 20% off
each week through October!
Our feature plant this week is
‘Neon Flash’ spirea.
This 3’ tall by 3’ wide hardy shrub is
in full bloom right now, covered with
bright pink flowers over deep green
leaves. Soon, those green leaves
will start changing to many shades
of purple, orange, and red. Neon
Flash is best in a full to part sun
location, and makes a great
ornamental flowering shrub with a
bonus of great fall color!
We recommend cutting back Neon
Flash in early or late winter to
ensure a nice uniform shape and
lots of summer bloom next year.

Freeh: No widespread problems in BP settlements
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A
former FBI director recommended
Friday that the Justice Department
investigate whether several lawyers
plotted to corrupt the settlement
program designed to compensate
victims of BP's 2010 Gulf oil spill.
But the independent probe led
by Louis Freeh didn't find any evidence of wrongdoing by the multibillion-dollar settlement's courtappointed administrator, who has
been a target of BP's increasingly
aggressive campaign to challenge
payouts to Gulf Coast businesses.
Freeh, who was appointed by a
federal judge to investigate alleged
misconduct by a staff attorney who
worked on the settlement program,
cleared claims administrator
Patrick Juneau of engaging in any
"conflict of interest, or unethical or
improper conduct."

Obama’s riddle: How to hit Syria
without escalating the conflict
WASHINGTON (MCT) — With President
Barack Obama lobbying Congress to agree to the
United States’ punishing Syria for alleged use of
chemical weapons, he must convince wary lawmakers that Syria’s response won’t lead to tit-for-tat retaliation that escalates the conflict.
Obama has repeatedly vowed a targeted attack
won’t seek to oust President Bashar al-Assad or aid the
rebels. But the use of force often brings unintended
consequences.
“Anyone who claims to have a crystal ball here
doesn’t,” warned Paul R. Pillar, a former senior CIA
official with responsibilities in the Middle East. “This
does stir the pot in ways that increase the risk or
chance of certain things happening, even though one
can’t place specific odds on it or make a specific prediction.”
Pillar and other experts scoff at the notion of a surgical hit, noting that military forays into Iraq, Libya
and Afghanistan have all brought consequences of second and third order.
“This ought to remind people that it is very unlikely that anything we do in a limited way is going to be
limited in the way we prefer,” said Pillar, who now
teaches at Georgetown University in the nation’s capital.
Obama was asked about the potential for escalation
at a press conference Friday in the Russian city of St.
Petersburg. He attempted to downplay the chances
but seemed to be making the point that anything can
happen.
“Is it possible that Assad doubles down in the face
of our action and uses chemical weapons more widely? I suppose anything is possible, but it would not be
wise,” Obama said. “At that point, mobilizing the
international community would be easier not harder.”
Syria has many ways to respond to a U.S. attack.
The Assad regime could strike back directly or
through proxies, inside Syria and outside.
Assad’s most immediate way to punish American
attacks could be to retaliate in a way that drives up oil
prices, squeezing the already soft U.S. and European
economies.
As tensions with Syria rose two weeks ago, the price
of U.S. crude oil soared past $112 a barrel before edg-

ing back to a range between $107 and $109 a barrel.
Traders justify the high prices as a “security” premium;
U.S. oil remained above $107 a barrel at the end of
trading Friday.
“What I’m concerned about is the retaliation to the
retaliation. Mostly we’re concerned about it spilling
over into attacks on Israel,” said John Kilduff, an oil
trader and partner in the hedge fund Again Capital.
Seeking to spike oil prices, Syria could strike at the
pipeline in northern Iraq that connects with Turkey
and the outside world.
“There are some real vulnerabilities on Syria’s border that hang in the balance,” said Kilduff, noting a
sympathetic bomber in Saudi Arabia could send oil
prices soaring. “Any kind of perceived threat to the
(Saudi) Royal Family is just going to raise the security
premium mightily.”
Much depends on how threatened the Assad
regime feels. If a strike does little to threaten Assad, it
emboldens him. If Assad is threatened, it raises the
stakes for retaliation as the very existence of the regime
would then be at stake.

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Tens of thousands of people filled St.
Peter’s Square for a four-hour Syria peace vigil late Saturday,
answering Pope Francis’ call for a grassroots cry for peace that was
echoed by Christians and non-Christians alike in Syria and in vigils
around the world.
The Vatican estimated about 100,000 took part in the Rome
event, making it one of the largest rallies in the West against proposed U.S.-led military action against the Syrian regime following
the Aug. 21 chemical weapons attack near Damascus.
Francis spent most of the vigil in silent prayer, but during his
speech he issued a heartfelt plea for peace, denouncing those who
are “captivated by the idols of dominion and power” and destroy
God’s creation through war.
“This evening, I ask the Lord that we Christians, and our brothers and sisters of other religions and every man and woman of good
will, cry out forcefully: Violence and war are never the way to
peace!” he said.
“May the noise of weapons cease!” he said. “War always marks
the failure of peace, it is always a defeat for humanity.”
CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Australia’s “unelectable” and
gaffe-prone political leader, Tony Abbott, confounded critics
Saturday by becoming the country’s latest prime minister, leading
the opposition to a sweeping election victory and ending six years
of Labor Party rule.
Abbott, the leader of the conservative Liberal Party-led coalition,
rode a wave of public bitterness over a hated carbon emissions tax,
worries about a flagging economy and frustration over government
infighting to win the election.
The result was a stunning turnaround for Abbott, a 55-year-old
former Roman Catholic seminarian and Rhodes scholar who has
never been particularly popular and was once dubbed unelectable
by opponents and some of his own supporters.
He emerged victorious thanks, in large part, to the frustration of
a country fed up with Labor and its once-popular leader, Kevin
Rudd, who had engaged in a years-long power struggle with his
former deputy, Julia Gillard. Gillard, who became the nation’s first
female prime minister after ousting Rudd in a party vote in 2010,
ended up losing her job to Rudd three years later in a similar internal party coup.
“I now look forward to forming a government that is competent,
that is trustworthy and which purposefully and steadfastly and
methodically sets about delivering on our commitments to you the
Australian people,” Abbott told supporters in his victory speech
Saturday night.
With more than 90 percent of votes counted, official figures
from the Australian Electoral Commission showed the Liberals
ahead 53 percent to Labor’s 47 percent. The coalition was on track
to win 91 seats in the 150-seat House of Representatives, and
Labor 54.
For a range of reasons, Abbott has been dismissed by many critics as not being prime minister material. A supremely fit volunteer
lifeguard, he is often parodied in the media for wearing the redand-yellow cap and brief swimwear worn by Australian lifeguards.

PHOENIX (AP) — An Arizona woman is getting her first taste
of freedom in more than two decades after an appeals court overturned her murder conviction, setting the stage for a retrial as prosecutors seek to put her back on death row.
Debra Milke walked out of the Maricopa County Sheriff ’s jail
Friday after supporters posted her $250,000 bond.
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals overturned her conviction in
March, ruling that prosecutors should have disclosed information
that cast doubt on the credibility of a now-retired detective who
said Milke confessed to being involved in the killing of her 4-yearold son, Christopher.
The 49-year-old Milke has not been exonerated, but a judge

Car prices hit
record high as
buyers load up
on the options
By Tom Krisher
AP Auto Writer
DETROIT (AP) — Americans
are paying record prices for new
cars and trucks, and they have only
themselves to blame.
The average sale price of a vehicle in the U.S. hit $31,252 last
month, up almost $1,000 over the
same time last year. The sharp
increase has been driven by consumers loading cars up with highend stereos, navigation systems,
leather seats and safety gadgets.
It’s a buying pattern that began
around two years ago with low
interest rates that let buyers choose
pricier cars while keeping monthly
payments in check. And automakers have also offered cheap lease
deals that include fancy options.
Add in booming sales of expensive pickup trucks, and you get
record high prices.
But those conditions could soon
change. Although sales are expected to keep rising, automakers say
the next wave of buyers who
replace older cars will be more
cost-conscious, shunning expensive radios and cushy seats to
reduce payments.
Ford is starting to see that trend
in pickup trucks, and is adding a
lower-priced model to its top-selling F-Series line.
Most car buyers shop based on
expectations for a monthly payment, with the average running
around $450, said Jesse Toprak,
senior
analyst
with
the
TrueCar.com auto pricing website.
Since bank interest rates run as
low as 2 percent and automakers
offer no-interest financing, buyers
now have a choice between a lower
payment or a nicer car. Unlike rising mortgage rates, shorter-term
auto interest rates have remained
fairly stable.
“If you can keep your payment
the same and get more car, most
consumers in the U.S. just get
more car,” said Toprak, who calculated the record average price.
The average price, he said, went
up about $1,400, or 4.5 percent,
in the past two years, far faster than
normal.
The result is a dream scenario
for automakers and car dealers:
People are paying record high
prices just as demand returns to
levels not seen since the Great
Recession.
It’s also a dream for people like
Zachary Bier, a 26-year-old engineer and sales representative in
New York City who just leased a
$52,000 BMW 335i to replace a
3-Series with an expiring lease. He
set out to match his old $650-permonth payment with hopes of getting more features.
For the same payment, he got
metallic black paint, upgraded
leather seats with red trim and
stitching, Bluetooth technology to
link his phone to the car, a headsup display that projects his navigation system and other data onto
the windshield, and electronic
blind-spot detectors, he said.
“I guess I was surprised based on
the sticker price that this car has so
much more,” he said.
“For everything that comes on
this, I feel like it’s a better car.”

National Does president at
state meeting in Riverton
The Riverton Does Drove welcomed national Does Grand
Lodge supreme president Esther
Fister-Palmer this weekend.
A local audience greeted FisterPalmer in a public ceremony
Friday, with the state meeting and
banquet following Saturday at the
Riverton Elks Lodge.
Born in Missouri, Fister-Palmer
worked for eight years at the
Home State Bank in Jefferson,
Iowa, and was elected and served
for eight years as the county treasurer of Greene County, Iowa. She
also was a supervisor in the Polk
County (Iowa) Attorney’s office
for 18 years until her retirement in
2006.
She became a Doe in 1977, and
the organization has been a major
part of her life since then.
Representing Jefferson Drove 196
in Iowa, she went to her first
Grand Lodge convention in 1981.
She served as her drove president
in 1985 and received her Grand
Lodge password that year at the
Grand Lodge convention in
Lubbock, Texas.
Fister-Palmer served a second
term as drove president in 1994
and has been either an elected or
appointed drove officer for more
than 30 years. She also served as
general chairman of the 1993
Grand Lodge convention in Des
Moines, Iowa.
Nationally, she was elected to
the office of supreme inner guard
in 2007 and has progressed
through the Grand Lodge elected
officers to the office of supreme
president.

Bear caught after found in barn
By Katie Roenigk
Staff Writer
Esther Fister-Palmer
She is the mother of a son,
Jeremy, and the grandmother of
three. Her second husband,
Robert, died in 2003 after 10
years of marriage.
She still enjoys working parttime, helping the elderly. A
favorite pastime is helping organize and playing bingo at the West
Des Moines Elks Lodge in Iowa.
A grizzly bear was captured Thursday morning in
Dubois morning after reportedly wandering into a
barn on Bald Mountain Road on Wednesday.
Officials said they decided to catch the bear
because he seemed “extremely comfortable” around
people.
“We have no reports he was aggressive toward
folks, (but) he was being really bold,” said Brian
DeBolt, large carnivore conflict coordinator for the
Wyoming Game and Fish Department in Lander.
The 3- to 4-year-old animal is being held in Dubois,
but DeBolt said it likely will be transported to Lander
soon. Officials will determine whether to release the
bear back into the wilderness or euthanize it.
“We’ll look at his history and the severity of conflicts we know he’s been involved in and make a
determination from there,” DeBolt said, adding that
the bear had been pinned with ear tags in the past.
“Right now we’re kind of in the middle of determining who he is, where he’s been and what type of history he has.”
If the animal has had multiple food rewards from
people in the past, DeBolt said there is a chance it
may be killed.
A resident called police at about 6:30 p.m.
Wednesday to report the animal problem. According
to initial reports, the woman said “there is a full-sized
adult grizzly bear in her barn.”
By the time officials arrived, DeBolt said the bear
had exited the building and was walking along the
Wind River west of town. He said the animal has
been spotted along the river over the past several
days.
At about 7:45 p.m. Wednesday, law enforcement
was asked to provide crowd control at the scene,
where DeBolt said people had gathered to try to spot
the bear.
“He wasn’t too far up the highway, and I think a
local resident there made a lot of phone calls,” he
said. “There were a lot of onlookers, which made for
a potentially dangerous situation. But luckily it was a
really benign outcome.”
His agency set out traps Wednesday but failed to
capture the bear that night.
“He didn’t seem very interested in that,” DeBolt
said. “So we did just dart him this morning when we
saw him down by the river.”
No one was injured during the incident, and
DeBolt said the bear is safe and unharmed.

Seniors urged
to apply

scholarship
by Bill Sniffin
Wyoming has had some great slogans and
logos over the years. Its image of the bucking horse is one of best-known logos in the
country.
Not quite as ubiquitous as McDonald’s
golden arches or Apple’s apple with the
bite out of it, but that bucking horse sends a good positive message.
Even a new look on the helmets of the UW Cowboy football does not
diminish it much, although I will always prefer the simpler, original
bucking horse and rider.
As a longtime marketing guy and someone interested in logos and
slogans, the images and words used to describe Wyoming and
Wyoming’s places have always fascinated me.
Lately, Wyoming has used Forever West as its slogan and it works well,
especially when millions of dollars of marketing muscle is put behind
it.
What are some of the previous state slogans?
Wyoming: Like No Place on Earth was used as a state tourism slogan
for about a six-year period in the late 1990s. It served the state well.
Then it was officially retired.
In recent decades, the state has used: Find Yourself in Wyoming, BIG
Wyoming and Wyoming Is What America Was.
Before that there have been others. Perhaps the two most common used,
both formally and informally, are The Equality State and The Cowboy
State.
All are fine. And all are better than A Great Land Outdoors, which was
used on highway signs for a brief, forgettable period.
One of my favorites is High Altitudes, Low Multitudes, which also
happens to be the title of one of my books. Oh well.
Some of our regional comedians have referred to our state as The Big
Empty, in reference to Wyoming’s lack of population. It is a play on
words mocking the famous New Orleans’ nickname of The Big Easy.
Some decades ago, the state of Colorado held a contest for a new slogan.
Then Wyoming Tourism professional Randy Wagner submitted:
Colorado - Just South of Heaven.
It didn’t win.
I was recently in Montana and felt a little jealous about a couple of their
mottoes. Big Sky is hard to beat. And they have almost abused the name
The Last Best Place.
South Dakota has a great slogan with Great Faces, Great Places. Works
well when you have the biggest sculptures in the world hanging on the
sides of your small mountains.
Over in Nebraska, they still use The Good Life, which is a pretty darned
good slogan. My native state of Iowa used A Place To Grow for years
and now uses Fields of Opportunity, which is a similar paean to a place
that can grow anything.
For a while, I loved the fact that Iowa used the slogan Is This Heaven?
That is a takeoff of the movie Field of Dreams, which was filmed there.
Former Wyoming newspaper editor from Kemmerer, Sara Millhouse,
works at the newspaper in Dyersville, which is where that movie was
filmed.
Kansas also follows that lead with There Is No Place Like Home, which
follows on the theme of the movie, The Wizard of Oz.
Neighboring Utah, which always uses The Beehive State, which might
mean something to a lot of folks there but generates no buzz to outsiders.
Today they follow up on Brigham Young’s famous pronouncement with
This Is Still The Right Place.
Idaho has always used The Gem State, which is about as shiny as Utah’s
original self-oriented slogan. Then they used Famous Potatoes, which
may have drawn a few Iowa farmers to the place, but not many tourists.
Most recently it has been Great Potatoes, Tasty Destinations. They still
need some work on that slogan.
So let’s get back to Colorado. For years, their legislature followed an
oddball citizen’s petition drive and got rid of their tourist promotion state
division. They are still paying for it today.
It was great for Wyoming and Utah as they could lure tourists who used
to go to Colorado. Colorado recently came to its senses and now uses
tax money to promote the state.
Of course most recently, they devised a new logo that shows a green
triangle with the letters CO inside it. Looks a lot like a warning sign for
Carbon Monoxide. Folks are being critical of it, just south of us.
Colorado loves to use Colorful Colorado and most recently two slogans
make even more sense lately in that marijuana heaven: Enter A Higher
State or Rocky Mountain High.
Both are becoming much clearer now that the state has legalized
marijuana.

Riverton resident Michael Starks, 48, suffered serious injuries Aug. 24 after wrecking his Harley
Davidson motorcycle near Pavillion.

Man injured in motorcycle wreck
From staff reports
A 48-year-old Riverton man suffered serious
injuries Aug. 24 after wrecking his Harley Davidson
motorcycle east of Pavillion.
Michael Starks was found unconscious floating in a
water-filled ditch immediately after the crash, according to reports. He was rescued by friends who happened to be following him back from Pavillion to
Riverton on county roads.
The Riverton couple following Starks said they were
about three-eighths of a mile behind him when he
crashed in the 200 block of Williams Road. Officials
said Starks was traveling too fast to negotiate a curve in
the road.
“It appears (he) had to lay the bike over in an
attempt to avoid running off the roadway,”
Undersheriff Ryan Lee said in a press release.
Starks reportedly stayed with the bike while it skidded about 110 feet down the road. He then was ejected from the motorcycle and thrown another 40 feet
into the nearby ditch.
Witnesses said a “huge dust cloud” covered the
scene of the crash, making it difficult to locate Starks
right away. When he was found, he reportedly was
floating face down in the ditch, which was filled with
3 or 4 feet of water. His friends held his head above
water while they waited for first responders to arrive
and transport Starks to Riverton Memorial Hospital.
He later was airlifted to Denver.
Officials said alcohol was not a factor in the crash.
Starks reportedly was not wearing a helmet.
The family of Harold F.
“Woody” Woodward
would like to thank
everyone for the
prayers, support, and
acts of kindness we have
received during our time of loss.
Woody will be greatly missed by his
wife, family and many friends.

Smith takes helm at District 14
By Alejandra Silva
Staff Writer
With the new academic school
year comes a new superintendent
for Fremont County School District
14 on the Wind River Indian
Reservation.
Superintendent Terry Smith will
take over the position completely
and apply the goals he envisions for
the district beginning in 2014. Until
then, he will continue to receive
guidance from former superintendent Michelle Hoffman, who held
the position for 27 years at the
Wyoming Indian elementary, middle and high schools.
“This school district has had
excellent leadership from the superintendent all the way down,” Smith
said. “I couldn’t have asked for a better district. I feel very fortunate.”
Smith said he wants to focus on
student attendance, a working curriculum, improving test scores and
dealing with funding shortfalls.
His background in education
includes roughly 30 years of teaching and holidng other staff positions
in the state of Washington with the
Yakama Nation in Yakima School
District 7 and at the Nez Perce
Indian Reservation in Lapwai,
Idaho.
There, Smith said, tribes showed
love for their children and an appreciation for their culture. He said he
learned to understand their view on

life and their primary concerns.
On the Wind River Indian
Reservation, Smith said he already
has seen how involved and supportive parents are of their children’s
education.
“Parents work close with the district,” Smith said. “They’re all about
the kids.”
To Smith, teaching students
“what’s in it for them” is what he
said is key to convincing students
that going to school and being successful is important. Smith said he is
still learning the ropes of Wyoming’s
educational system.
Hoffman said Smith is doing well
in the transition process, a process
they both agreed was necessary to
make sure the new superintendent
fits in well, learns the history of the
district, learns about the community and its culture and customs, and
offers continuity for the district.
“She catches me up to speed,”
Smith said. “It’s a team approach, so
the transition is much, much easier.”
Smith said he has appreciated the
“wealth of knowledge” that
Hoffman has shared with him, and
it has helped him understand why
things have been done the way they
have in the past, what changes need
to be made and what has worked
and not worked for the schools.
Smith said he has experience
working with several federal programs that help American Indians.
“Those components, I’ve had
tremendous amount of experience
with,” Smith said.
Smith was born and raised in
Yakima, Wash., and attended
Central Washington University and
Washington State University. He
described himself as an “avid hunter
and fisherman.” He is a grandfather
and recently became a great-grandfather. He lives on the reservation
and said he hopes to continue meeting more staff and students in the
coming weeks.

Scenic byway comments due Sept. 30
The Eastern Shoshone and
Northern Arapaho Department of
Transportation invites the public to
comment on draft sections of the
Wind River Canyon Scenic Byway
Corridor Management Plan. The
deadline for written comments is
Sept. 30. The plan is tentatively
scheduled to be complete by the end
of the year.
A second round of public meetings on the CMP was held in
Riverton and Shoshoni in late July.
The goal of the meetings was to
gather public input on items and
issues that should be addressed along
the corridor as well as create a priority list of items that need to be
emphasized.
Participants agreed that the first
priority will focus on safety in the
canyon by improving communication along the corridor and addressing rockfall. The second priority is
preservation, which will include
graffiti cleanup, keeping the aesthetics of the canyon and education
about the rich history of the byway.
The third priority is funding for
improvements.
Draft sections of the CMP are
posted on the Hot Springs Greater
Learning Foundation website
www.hsglf.org.
The Wind River Canyon Scenic
Byway is Highway 20, between
Shoshoni and Thermopolis, through
the Wind River Indian Reservation.
The CMP is a grassroots-level
participation project, with support
from the Shoshone and Arapaho
Tribes, Wyoming Department of
Transportation and the Federal
Highways Administration, in which
local desires and issues are docu-
mented to serve as a general planning guide for state-designated
scenic byways.

The way it was
City park crowd -- 1913
A hundred years ago, Riverton City
Park had only recently moved to its
current location on the east side of
Federal Boulevard where it intersects
with Main Street. The park originally
was on Park Avenue near the current
intersection with Broadway
One reason the park was moved to
a different spot was so that there
would be more room for baseball
games. This picture shows a big crowd
watching a baseball game.
“Town team” baseball was an
important way for a new town to get
established, and Riverton, founded in
1906, put together a team within a
few years.
No record can be found of what
particular game this audience at City
Park was watching, but newspaper
accounts from that summer noted
games between the “Riverton nine”
and teams from Lander, Hudson,
Shoshoni, and a couple of traveling
teams.

Rates

(from page A-1)
billed at a separate flat rate for use
up to 12,000 gallons per month.
Any consumption over that is
billed at a rate of one dollar per
1,000 gallons for both commercial and residential customers.
Residents who use, for example, 6,000 gallons per month pay
the same base rate as those using
twice as much.
That creates no incentive for
conservation, Brown said.
“On average, about half of
your customers are being overcharged,” he said. “What that
means is your rates are unfair. In
essence your low-volume customers have been subsidizing
high–use customers. … Only really large customers are using the
full amount.”
Further, Brown said, the allowance of 12,000 gallons is the
highest he’s ever seen; around
2,000 gallons is the most common allowance in water systems
across the U.S.
“You’re giving it away,” he said.
He proposes charging for water
based on volume as measured by
the size of the meter and allowing
2,000 gallons of use for the flat
rate, a method commonly called
proportional to use.
The city presently offers a
poverty-level discount, which was
not proposed in Brown’s report.
SEWER
Sewer rates would be structured much like water rates, based
on the amount of useage.
Winter-averaged water use
would be the volume basis for assessing sewer unit charges for residential users.
“This removes almost all consumptive use of water (lawn and
garden watering in the summertime are the main such uses) from
sewer use billing,” the report
states.
Commercial user’s rates would
be based on water use throughout
the year.

NUMBERS
A table on water use presented
by Brown shows that 2,097
households are using 10,000 to
12,000 gallons or less and would
see a reduction in their water bill
of 2 to 34 percent.
The 725 households that use
12,000 to more than 155,000 gallons will see increases of 5 to 172
percent.
“Most people are going to see a
reduction,” Lara said Thursday.
“For the four months of summer
it might go up if you want a green
lawn.”
When water and sewer are
combined, the study shows, residents using 5,000 to 5,999 gallons per month will see a decrease
in their bill of $3.29. Those using
10,000 to 12,000 gallons per
month will see an increase of
$7.28, and people who use
20,000 to 24,999 will see a
$40.77 rate increase.
Lara spoke of the fairness of
the proposed rate change.
“So many people come in complaining because we charge them
for 12,000 gallons and they use
way less,” Lara said. “What’s really
sad is the people who are missing
the poverty level discount by
$100 or $200.”
Lara pointed out that monies
collected from increased rates
could only be used for water and
sewer projects. Still, if the sewer
and water portion of street repair
could be paid for from rate surpluses instead of from optional 1
percent monies, more streets
could potentially be repaired, she
said.
The full report can be seen on
the city’s website, landerwyoming.org. Printed copies are
available at city hall.
A date for a possible second
public hearing had not been set as
of press time. If one is scheduled,
it will likely be in September, Lara
said, but is not on the agenda of
the Sept. 10 meeting.
Director
(from page A-1)
about five and half weeks longer.
FOUR-DAY SCHOOL WEEKS
“Typically what happens is a
school day is lengthened to make
sure students are getting the required hours,” Bowman explained.
Bowman said through a four-day
school week, activities – like sports –
would take place Thursday night
through Saturday (with home
events being on Thursday nights) to
avoid students missing school during the day.
Other pros that supported the
four-day school week include improved student and teacher attendance; Fridays could be used for
intervention and enrichment days;
parents can use three-day weekends
for mini-vacations; appointments
can be scheduled for Fridays; snowdays can be made up on a Friday
and costs would decrease for school
lunches, transportation and classified staff.
“There is a slight utility savings,”
Bowman said. “But, it is very minimal.”
Bowman also addressed cons relating to the four-day school week.
Some of the main concerns
would be for parents finding a
child-care service for one day a
week; classified pay earnings would
decrease; three days off a week could
create retention of learning for students who have learning disabilities;
scheduling events for Thursday
through Saturday; longer days are
harder for kindergarten through
third-grade students; students from
poverty will get fewer free meals and
at-risk students would be home
alone an extra day resulting in the
possibility of engaging in negative
behavior.
Another main concern is if a student were to miss a day due to illness or another issue, they would
now be missing a quarter of their
learning that week instead of 20
percent.
“Something to think about is
doing (a four-day school week) at
the secondary level and five-day
school weeks at the lower levels,”
Bowman suggested.
trative work increase their hours.”
Thompson also suggested waiting until after an overall director is
on staff before deciding how the
rest of the personnel can be restructured. The museums board
could draw on the new administrator’s expertise to make those decisions, he suggested.
Other commissioners agreed.
The museums board also presented a job description for the
central director position. The
four-page document listed duties,
qualifications and background information for the job.
The first responsibility listed
was to “assume full management
and leadership responsibility for
each of the three museums and to
maintain and enhance individual
autonomy.”
Commissioners offered suggestions such as changing the focus
from knowledge to skills and emphasizing the qualifications listed
are preferred but not absolutely
necessary.
Banks asked if other county en-
tities could contribute expertise in
human-resource issues to help the
museums board rework the job
description.
The museums board chairman
also asked if the county board
could raise the mill levy allocated
for the historical institutions. The
Fremont County Library System
is to receive about two and a half
mills this fiscal year, but the museums are to receive less than one,
he said.
“I would like to see if it would
be possible to up the county museums mill levy up to one mill,”
Banks said. “This would give us
some liberty ... of reorganizing
what our staffing really ought to
be.”
Thompson said the Commission does not budget by establishing the number of mills each
county entity receives and sticking
with that distribution year to year.
Rather, each budget cycle, the
county board sees how much
money each entity needs and allocates sufficient mills to provide it.
YEAR-ROUND SCHOOLING
Bowman explained there are different year-round schooling schedules with the most popular being
trimesters, semesters and multitrack plans.
Trimesters typically work by having students attend school for 60
days and have 20 days off, while semesters would have students in
school for 45 days and have 15 days
off.
Multi-track plans, Bowman said,
would not be relevant for FCSD1.
“This would be a major paradigm shift if we go to year-round
schooling,” Bowman said.
Some of the pros of year-round
schooling include less summerlearning loss; families and staff can
have vacations year round instead of
just summers; more frequent breaks;
low socio-economic and special education students more frequently
benefit than other students; stress
levels decrease for staff and students
and possible attendance improvement for staff and students.
Important concerns for yearround schooling included highschool students not being able to
hold summer jobs; child-care issues;
difficulties scheduling big-maintenance jobs; students are not able to
attend summer camps and college
institutes; graduation dates may
change; air conditioning costs will
increase; teacher’s ability to go to a
college campus for coursework
would be affected and long vacations would not be possible.
“I spoke with the administration
from Pavillion (FCSD6) and it
works really well for them,” Berg
said. “Staff and families like it and
the students are coming around (to
the idea).”
Berg said for year-round schooling, it boils down to summer loss.
Currently, teachers spend the first
nine weeks of school reviewing the
previous year. Through the yearround schooling, teachers would
spend less than 10 days a year reviewing.
For Bowman, his main concern
is the students who need summer
jobs to pay for expenses like college.
“This would prevent them from
doing it unless the job allows them
to work for three weeks then be off
for three months,” Bowman said.
REACTION TO IDEAS
FCSD1 parent Lori Wolfe said
year-round schooling could cause
problems for those who have
blended families and share custody
of students. However, she noted her
freshman son, who is involved with
sports, tends to have to make up a
great amount of work that he misses
from school when he leaves for
games.
Board of education Treasurer
Dave Clark said this same idea was
discussed by the board several years
ago, and it did not go over well.
“Parents were pretty much
against it,” Clark said. “However,
the uproar was not as loud as other
issues.”
The issue that really stuck out in
Clark’s mind from previous discussions was the issue of child-care.
Board member Joe Palladino
asked about sports that take place
outside of Friday such as volleyball,
which falls on Tuesdays.
“If we look forward (into the
scheduling change), we will have to
have community meetings,” Palladino said. “Where ever we go with
this, it is going to be a really huge
change.”
Berg and Bowman both stated
the school district would have to
work closely with the conference to
schedule sporting events for Thursdays through Saturdays, so students
would not be pulled from class
Monday through Thursdays.
Board of education Clerk Brooke
Sutton said she is not in favor of
year-round schooling, but liked the
idea of high-school students partici-
pating in four-day school weeks.
“Fridays are a waste of a day anyway,” Sutton said, noting teachers
who are at school often don’t teach
on Fridays because of the minimal
amount of students in the classroom.
Sutton also pointed out a majority of teachers who are not at school
on Fridays due to coaching and
other reasons, have substitute teachers in the class, which have students
do busy work instead of lessons.
Vice Chairwoman Teresa Nirider
agreed with Sutton stating her
daughter comes home often frustrated that a teacher was not present
at school.
“What is the problem we want to
fix (with the schedule change) – test
scores, student or teacher attendance?” Nirider asked. “If there is a
problem, are there other ways to fix
it.”
Berg said he is not sure if there is
a problem, but added there is an
issue of teachers not being in the
classroom, and it is an issue that
needs to be addressed after more
data is gathered.
“In my mind we are always expecting to do better tomorrow than
we did yesterday,” Berg said, noting
a schedule change might be a way to
do that.
Clark said a four-day school
week would leave high-school students at home alone each week and
asked board members if that is
something they really want to happen.
Sutton said high-school students
are left home all summer alone, and
asked what the difference one day a
week would make.
“If it is such a wonderful idea,
why are only two districts in the
whole state doing it?” Palladino
asked.
Berg noted dialogue has started
for many school districts in the state
regarding year-round school and
four-day week years as well.
The survey will be developed and
conducted in the weeks to come.
(from page A-1)
would free them up to do more
community outreach and
fundraising,” museums board
member Carol Chidsey said.
Commissioners were reluctant
to increase the budget and
thought adding the central director and sharing resources of other
county departments should help
the museums lower its budget and
allow it to reduce staff in other
areas.
“We’re putting this (central director) person up here to free up
these (site manager) people to do
more local stuff,” Commission
chairman Doug Thompson said.
“I’m not sure if we can say keep all
these people here, pay them the
same wage, and bring new people
in and pay them the same wage.”
Commissioner Keja Whiteman
took issue with raising hours of an
administrative assistant.
“If you’re hiring someone to do
more administrative work,” she
said, referring to a central director.
“I don’t know why you’d have
someone who also does adminis-
Fremont County Museums Board members Steve Banks and Jon
Lane spoke with Commissioners on Sept. 3 about hiring a central
director for the museums system.

“We are looking for a larger space,” Cox
said. “The day reporting center is for juveniles who would otherwise be expelled.”
Students in the alternatives program attend the day reporting center rather than
their home school. In addition to classes,
the facility provides services such as community-based projects and counseling.
The program also works to connect services such as probation and juvenile drug
court. Rather than holding youths in the juvenile wing of the Fremont County Detention Center, the program uses detainment
methods that include ankle bracelets and
housing the youths in group homes.
Fremont County Group Homes hosts
the day reporting center now, but it only has
room for roughly eight students, Cox said.
She thinks the house on Gasser Road could
accommodate up to 18.
The program does not have an immediate need for more space, but it almost outgrew its location last year.
Three students have been enrolled in the
program so far this school year, and another
will join it soon. The program ended last
school year with eight students and graduated one from Lander Valley High School.
“We were pretty much at our capacity
last year,” Cox said.
So far, county buildings maintenance
staff and a group from Set Free Church have
worked to clean the house and paint it.
However, it still is not ready for the alternatives program.
“It’s in pretty poor condition,” Cox said.
She said there are uneven floors, electrical
issues and concerns about the staircase to
the second floor.
Her program has a “limited” budget,
Cox said, and she has to investigate regulations regarding school buildings and locations for Department of Family Services
programs.
The plan is to meet with commissioners
in two weeks to decide whether to move
forward with the location.
Despite its drawbacks, Cox said she sees
potential in the old building.
“There’s some land,” she said. “There’s
potential for a large garden and potential
maybe to raise some animals.”
Growing plants and raising animals
would give the students pride and useful life
skills, she said. Those activities also could involve them in the Fremont County Fair and
the community.
The Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative opened in January after the juvenile
wing of the Fremont County Detention
Center closed in July 2012.
Several county entities, including the
sheriff’s and attorney’s offices, wanted to
create the alternatives program to better
serve youth rather than incarcerate them.

Healthy lunch sales picking up
CHEYENNE (AP) — Officials in southeast Wyoming say
school lunch sales are picking up after a slight drop that followed
new federal guidelines for healthier lunches last year.
Some schools in other states are opting out of the healthier
school lunches, complaining that cafeterias were losing money
because students weren’t buying the new items. But Kevin
Concannon with the U.S. Department of Agriculture said no more
than a couple hundred out of the 100,000 schools in the federal
lunch program are doing so because of the new menu.
“There are some schools that come in and go out every year,” he
said. “There are about 540 schools that dropped out of the program; less than half cited the new requirements.”
School officials in Laramie County said students and parents
have had concerns about food quantity but approve of the quality
and variety of food offered. They said lunch sales are picking up
this year.
The new lunches will have more fruit, vegetables and whole
grains and fewer calories.The Wyoming Department of Education
got some calls from upset or curious parents last year, but the
number this year has been far smaller, department nutrition program supervisor Tamra Jackson said.
“It’s change, and any time you have change, there will be people
who are upset about it,” she said. “But, for the most part, in
Wyoming we’re finding that people are looking upon it as a positive.”
No sign of rare mammal
JACKSON (AP) — Biologists looking for the elusive fisher, a
large cousin of the weasel, have come up empty-handed in the
Wyoming neck of the Northern Rockies.
Habitat models predict that the fisher’s range extends well into
Teton and Park counties, and south to the very northwest tip of
Fremont County. That caused the Wyoming Game and Fish
Department to lead a search for the mustelid, which was recently,
but is no longer, a candidate for protection under the Endangered
Species Act.Using a $23,000 state wildlife grant, Game and Fish
personnel last year searched the Sunlight Basin, near the Beartooth
Mountains, just to the east of Yellowstone National Park. In
January 1995, a fisher was photographed by a remote camera near
this area Remote cameras are the primary method used to find the
critters.
No change in state rig count
HOUSTON (AP) — Oilfield services company Baker Hughes
Inc. says the number of rigs actively exploring for oil and natural
gas in the U.S. dropped nine this week to 1,767.
The Houston-based company said in its weekly report Friday
1,365 rigs were exploring for oil and 394 for gas. Eight were listed
as miscellaneous. A year ago there were 1,864 active rigs.
Of the major oil- and gas-producing states, Colorado gained
two rigs and Kansas, Pennsylvania and Utah each gained one rig.
Texas lost eight rigs, California lost three, New Mexico lost two
and Louisiana and North Dakota each lost one. Alaska, Arkansas,
Ohio, Oklahoma, West Virginia and Wyoming were unchanged.

Post-fire Yellowstone forests mending
Million-acres blazes
in 1988 elevated
forest knowledge
By Mike Koshmrl
For the Associated Press
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK(AP)
— A quarter century after September snows
extinguished the most widespread fires in
Yellowstone National Park’s history, the regeneration of the park’s forests remains in its infancy.
The post-1988 forests are not recovered or
more in balance, park ecologist Roy Rankin said.
He doesn’t like to use anthropomorphic terms
like good, bad, devastated or recovered. Fire is
simply part of the natural cycle. And today,
slowly in some places and quickly in others, the
forests are growing back in.
“The forests are fine,” Rankin said. “They are
still very young — they’re babies in the standregeneration process.
“That’ll continue for another 25 years, and
then they’ll move into another phase,” he said.
The ’88 blazes elevated the discussion about
fire policy and educated the public about wildfire’s role in fire-adapted ecosystems.
The forests that the fires — the North Fork,
Fan, Hell Roaring, Storm Creek, Clover-Mist,
Red, Snake Complex, Mink and Huck — left
behind are not just younger, but more of a mosaic.
Twenty-five years later, signs of the fires,
which affected 36 percent of the 2.2-millionacre park, abound. Branchless blackened trunks
tower over meadows and young groves of pine.
Fallen trunks litter much of the park’s burnt
areas. Another quarter-million acres burned outside park boundaries.
The fire scars will persist for years, he said.
“That pattern will be evident on the landscape for, oh jeez, for a long time,” he said.
“We’re at a point now where somebody can look
at it and really not know what they’re looking at,

but that pattern will be evident for 200 years.”
The fires of ’88 caused little long-term damage to Yellowstone’s man-made infrastructure.
They burned 67 buildings. Nobody died inside
the park.
A tree cutter’s discarded cigarette started the
North Fork Fire, which burned 400,000 acres.
At peak staffing levels in July, there were
9,000 firefighters combatting the fires of
Yellowstone. The effort cost more than $120
million.
The crews cut 802 miles of lines to try to control the blazes, but they had little effect. Had
Yellowstone let the fires burn themselves out,
Jehle said, the burn scars would have been largely the same. The fires jumped every major road
and river system. Only Yellowstone Lake interrupted the flames.
The fires of ’88 made Rankin a believer in
the role of fire in forest health, he said. Even the
areas of Yellowstone that burned the hottest
were quick to bounce back, he said.
Rankin used a swath of forest that blew down
in 1984 between Norris and Canyon as an
example. With timber on the ground, fire
burned hot in the area.
Some experts at the time, Rankin said,
believed that the soil was too scorched and
devoid of nutrients to allow for any regrowth
for decades if not centuries.
“But it’s coming back,” Rankin said, “so
much so that you can’t even tell today that this
area looked like the bottom of your barbecue 25
years ago.”
“Tree densities are not as great,” he said, “but
you go in there and you look at the performance of the plant communities, and it’s like
these things ate their Wheaties. Trees that are
now only 25 years old are 18 to 20 feet tall.”

FALL
RATING THE BEST OF WHAT’S
NEW FROM THE NETWORKS
By Gail Pennington
MCT News Service
The operative word for the fall TV season is “crazy.”
We have a resurrected Redcoat and a
Headless Horseman. We have sensitive
robots and comic book super agents. We
have vampires galore, and Alice down the
rabbit hole. We even have a comedy with
“crazy” in the title, which oddly enough isn’t
crazy at all.
High-concept, mythology-heavy series
haven’t done well for the broadcast networks of late. “Revolution” survives on
NBC, but so many others (Fox’s “Terra
Nova,” ABC’s “Zero Hour,” NBC’s “Do No
Harm”) couldn’t win mainstream audiences.
Taking chances
With cable taking more and more of
their viewers, though, the broadcast networks (except rock-solid CBS) don’t feel
inclined to play it entirely safe. So in addition to introducing shows that feel like a lot
of shows we’ve already seen, they continue
to go out on limbs that could break under
them.
Some of these risky ventures are among
the most interesting new shows of the year.
Whether the next “Lost” is in this group
seems unlikely, but the effort deserves
applause anyway.
Here, ranked from best to worst, are the
series making debuts on the broadcast networks for fall 2013.
A note about the star ratings: Four stars
means perfect, three and a half almost perfect, and no show achieved those. Three
stars means very good, with lots of promise.
Two and a half stars is better than average,
and two stars is average.
Below two stars means “don’t waste your
time.”

My favorite new drama is crazy, scary and
crazy-scary, but it also brings us the best
new buddy relationship of the season. Tom
Mison is Ichabod Crane, but the
Washington Irving character is re-imagined
as a British redcoat, buried since the
Revolutionary War. Now he’s awake, and
understandably confused. Nicole Beharie is
the cop who’s the only one to believe him,
even after an also-awakened Headless
Horseman begins dealing out decapitations.
There’s a lot of murky, mythology here,
blending dark conspiracies with supernatural forces and biblical prophecies, so I don’t
know which way “Sleepy Hollow” is heading. The first hour, though, is a heck of a
ride.

The best new comedy of the season is

they’re both excellent cops, which wins
Samberg’s character a margin of slack from

Rather than superheroes, the protagonists
(including Ming-Na Wen, Brett Dalton, J.

a team dedicated to saving the world from
mysterious threats. I especially enjoyed Iain

It’s not rare
for ‘tweens’
to suffer from
disorganization
Question — How do I help
my disorganized 11-year-old son
become more organized? He forgets to hand in homework, and
now the teachers have a bad
impression of him!
Answer — Your son’s organizational problem is a common
one, and especially so for middlegrade boys. Disorganization can
mean a lot of things.
You have mentioned your son’s
not handing in his homework, so
I assume that he’s at least done it.
If he has completed his homework, he can put it in a special
folder that he takes with him to
every class. He can wear a different colored elasOn
tic bracelet or
rubber band for Raising
each subject as a
reminder to
turn in his work
to each teacher.
Once he
hands in homework for that
particular subject, he can take off
the corresponding bracelet. If he
reaches the end of the day and
still has bracelets around his
wrist, he has forgotten to turn
something in.
You are correct that teachers
assume students who don’t hand
in homework don’t care about
their studies.
Teachers get tired of constantly reminding students, so when
homework is inconsistently
turned in and grades drop, they
are viewed as poor students even
if they are capable.
Sometimes children who say
they forgot really prefer not to
hand in their work because they
know they haven’t done a very
good job and are avoiding getting
a bad grade.
They may not understand
their work and actually need help
but feel dumb about asking for
it. That could be a much more
serious underachievement problem.
There are still other times
where boys’ lack of organizational
skills affect everything including
their room, homework, home
chores and extracurricular
responsibilities.
Overall poor organizational
skills could be related to immaturity or more serious problems like
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder (ADHD). If your son’s
problems are more serious than
just not turning in completed
homework, you should arrange
to see a psychologist for further
evaluation and interventions.

year, I had a set of twins in my
classroom. Both were very intelligent. One was dominant, and the

recommend they be separated
into different classes this coming

Answer — Twins do benefit
from some school separation,
particularly if they are dependent
on each other.
If one is clearly the leader
while the other is the follower,
that’s more the reason that they

should be separate for all subjects and activities.
For example, if children in
your school are clustered by
achievement groups and they
are both high achievers, placing them in their appropriate
academic group would take
precedence over keeping them
separate.
If they were separated, one
might not have enough or too
much challenge and that
wouldn’t be the best learning
environment for the one who is
inappropriately placed.
Separating them can also be
complicated for extracurricular
activities.
For example, a parent might
prefer to give each child her
choice of activities, but supposing they both like gymnastics
or soccer.
It would be just as wrong
not to allow them to play the
same sport as to force them to
play the same sport.
If they both want to play
musical instruments in the
school band, it would be
preferable if they weren’t playing the exact same instrument,
but if they truly both want to

could certainly recommend but
not insist on their selecting different instruments.
Identical twins actually provide evidence that both environment and normal sibling

Mercury shows up at three different house parties this month:
one hosted by Virgo, one by Libra
and finally one by Scorpio.
It’s the last day of the Virgo
party, which is less like a raging
social soiree and more like a retail
event selling organizational tools
for the adventures ahead. Seize the
chance to get organized before the
next social swirl.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Wishing you were someone other
than who you are is a form of selfrejection that can only hold you
back today. Work with your
strengths and play to your talents.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
This is the kind of day in which
older Taurus people lament the
innocent, aimless, meandering
youth that’s behind them, while
younger ones fantasize about the
freedoms of adult life.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Wanting to be your best is an
admirable desire, and yet there is a
point at which constant improvement may be a form of self-rejection. Take a break from improving,
and like yourself “as is.”
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
There’s a fine line between the
heavy load that builds your muscles and the one that injures you.
Let the good people around you
help you out and keep you from
taking on too much.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re
not in a mood to conform, but
doing one thing that everyone else
is doing will put you on a treadmill
of social expectation. Remember
that this is not a trap. You can step
off and do your own thing at any
moment.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Just because someone asks you for
answers doesn’t mean you have to
provide them. In fact, you could
be doing someone a disservice by
answering and robbing them of
one of life’s mysteries.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The
human mind loves a pattern. The
first step in a new direction seems
illogical to the onlookers and may
be met with protest. But keep on
the path, and everyone will start to
deal with the new pattern.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Everyone has different social tolerances. Some people are likely to
speak more candidly in groups,
and this may be uncomfortable.
But it’s better than a closed-off
environment where no one grows.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). As disgruntled as you may be
in dealing with red tape and
bureaucracy, it would be an even
bigger ordeal to start your own
country. If you can manage to
laugh it off, do so.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). You need more pleasure in
your life. These days your tastes are
unpredictable even to you, so be
sure to try the different and unlikely options available to you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Maybe you’re just being picky, but
when it comes to romantic relationships, you’d like to know the
real person and not the person that
person thinks you want to see.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
The answers are not upstairs in the
attic of your mind. So don’t even
bother climbing up there. The
answers are easily observed in the
world around you, though you’ll
have to slow down to bear witness.
THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS.
What you learn about people in
the next six weeks will enhance
your relationships ever after.
Balancing work and play will be
challenging because all you want
to do is play. October brings a
more industrious mood. Profits
rain down in December. January
features a new relationship. Pisces
and Sagittarius people adore you.
Your lucky numbers are: 30, 1, 28,
43 and 48.

Jail or else?
September 8, 2013
Fremont County is wise to consider expanding
justice options for young and non-violent offenders
Fremont County is taking its latest step in alternative justice
measures intended to keep marginal offenders from going to
jail or losing school privileges.
County commissioners toured a suggested site for a larger
facility called a juvenile day reporting center this week in
Riverton. If adopted, the bigger building would permit expansion of a program that offers juvenile offenders alternatives to
school expulsion, or, worse, incarceration in the juvenile wing
of the Fremont County Detention Center in Lander.
The jail’s juvenile wing itself is an improvement over the
previous detention setup. The county moved some time ago to
segregate under-age offenders from the adult jail population,
and it continues to seek alternatives to incarcerating juveniles
in the first place.
The same goes for alcohol offenders whose only crime is
being intoxicated. The development of the alcohol treatment
center by the county means that many intoxicated individuals
who formerly would be put in jail can instead go to “detox”
and sober up without being booked as criminals.
Fremont County could never be accused successfully of
being anti-law and order. Getting tough and staying tough on
crime is part of our community makeup. But many experts on
law and order who think about the topic at a level beyond the
bumper sticker note that putting people in jail isn’t such a
great thing to do if there are alternatives within the law.
Obviously, some offenders must be incarcerated both as
punishment and for the protection of society. But others can
be housed safely someplace other than the primary jail without
compromising public safety while still being afforded a better
chance of recovery, rehabilitation and redemption than they
probably would idling behind bars in the county lockup.
There’s more to this than well-intentioned social work.
Operating a full-security detention center is necessary but
expensive. It takes highly trained manpower, and lots of it. It
requires sophisticated structures and equipment. It is subject
to strict governmental rules and regulations, and scrutinized
heavily by civil liberties organizations willing to bring trouble
to the jail’s doorstep if something goes wrong.
And the more prisoners the jail has, the more money it costs
to run it.
In theory, then, the county jail or, for that matter the state
penitentiary, would be used to house people for whom no reasonable alternative to high-security incarceration is feasible.
Many offenders fall outside that definition, and both government and society are realizing it.
By creating and using alternatives to straightforward jailing,
we can do a lot of good for the community across the spectrum of benefits. Those benefits begin with saving money, and
they continue through more humane, safe, sensible and potentially positive treatment and outcomes for non-violent or
under-age offenders.
Having the fullest possible slate of detention options is one
sign of a responsive and well-developed local government,
backed by a voter constituency that can envision detention
options in a more sophisticated way.
No detention program is perfect, and ourm local versions
are not without their critics. Fremont County might or might
not opt to develop the specific building they toured this week
into a bigger juvenile day reporting center. But the fact that
county leaders are thinking about doing it at all is, on balance,
a positive development with strong potential for success.
Fremont County is as law-and-order as anywhere else. But
we are learning that there is more to effective law and order
than simply locking people up.
-- Steven R. Peck
Don’t abolish death penalty;
accelerate it to save money
Editor:
Recent newspaper articles and
letters to the editor discuss the
issue of Mark Eaton’s death sentence. One letter to the editor was
in support of abolishing the death
penalty in Wyoming.
I disagree. The amount of tax
money that the Wyoming
Department of Corrections claims
it costs to house and care for an
inmate each day is in itself a waste
of tax money. In Eaton’s case, he
has approximately 35 years of life
left, and those expenses would be a
waste.
The only way to reach closure
for the family of the victim in Mr.
Eaton’s case is to inflict equal punishment.
Our U.S. Constitution states
that acts of treason and terrorism
can cause loss of a person's constitutional rights and that such acts
are punishable by death.
Taking another person's life is
an act of terrorism and treason
against our country and its citizens. The state should execute this
kind of criminal 30 days after conviction, especially when there is no
doubt they are guilty of such
heinous acts.
Such actions would save the taxpayers millions.

Filner resigned.
Come to think of it, the most
terrifying words for any male
officeholder to hear could be
“Personal for you on line one; it’s
attorney Gloria Allred.”
There are four U.S. states that
begin with “New.” New
Hampshire, New Mexico, New
York and New Jersey. But only one
of the four doesn’t need the “New”
to identify it.
You say “Jersey” and everybody
knows what you mean. Not so
with “York” or “Hampshire.”
And Jersey, one of only two
states (the other is Virginia) holding a gubernatorial race this year, is
home to Gov. Chris Christie, the
only national political figure who
is rated favorably across the board
among Republicans, Democrats
and independents.
Gov. Christie underwent lap

last February. This reminds me of
the foolproof test for whether you
need to change your diet: If you’re

water in the toilet bowl rises, you
do have a weight problem.

Ted Cruz of Texas does not lack
self-confidence. The Texan and
self-doubt are total strangers. One
Republican asked the other day:
What’s the difference between
God and Ted Cruz? Answer: God
doesn’t think that he’s Ted Cruz.
Just 10 months ago, Barack
Obama became the first U.S. president since Dwight Eisenhower to
win more than 51 percent of the
popular vote in successive national
elections.
Some conservatives insisted that
Mr. Obama would not have won
without the votes of blacks or
Hispanics or gays. Or, as some
people call them, Americans.

Melancholy is a term often
associated with the finality of the
last act, the closing bell or simply
the fateful day that ends a long
career. People often encounter this
mysterious emotion as they near
retirement.
They may look back with satisfaction on a job well done, miss
the opportunity to continue something they dedicated their life to,
lament the road not taken, or
more often, just hand in the keys,
smile and move on.
The only time I was melancholy in my entire career came on
a hot July day in 1999 when I
cleaned out my classroom in
Shoshoni. I wasn’t retiring, just
taking a job in Riverton that better
suited my recent advanced degree
in computer science.
But the feel of the books in the
Randy Tucker
modest library I’d built, the photographs of teams and players from
the last 15 years lining the walls,
and the realization that this wasn’t
going to be my home for nine
months of the year anymore struck
me as a bit sad. Memories came
cascading in uncontrolled surges
from the far reaches of my psyche.
Not all final days have that sad
tone. When my father retired in
1971 after 20 years in the Air
Force and Navy, his primary com-
ment was that he wanted to move
to some place where no one had
ever seen a B-52 bomber.
That place turned out to be on
his farm between Kinnear and
Pavillion. It almost came true, but
on rare occasions we still spotted
one of the big birds flying over
from bases near Rapid City, S.D.,
or Mountain Home, Idaho.
The best vocational agriculture
teacher I’ve ever had the chance to
work with left his profession for
good just over a year ago.
He didn’t retire, but the environment that now permeates education was too much for him. He
had to leave for his own sanity.
Tad worked with hundreds of
students who became veterinarians, agricultural financiers, engineers, teachers, and outstanding
farmers and ranchers.

Change of plan makes her rethink marriage
DEAR ABBY: I started dating a
wonderful man two years ago. We
will be getting married in a few
weeks and own a house together.
He has been a wonderful father
to my two children. He loves them
very much and the feeling is mutual.
From the start, he knew I wanted to have a child with him, and
he said he wanted the same

by accident, but sadly, had a miscarriage a few months later. When
I told him I was pregnant, he was
not excited and made comments
that caused me stress.
After the miscarriage, he acted
like nothing had happened, which
hurt me deeply because I really
wanted that baby.
Now he says he doesn’t want a
baby anymore — that he has
changed his mind without even
considering that I still want one.
I’m so lost.
Please give me some advice.

of a neutral mediator would be

you was that you would be enlarging your family, you may need to

to really talk about our lives.
Specifically, our new right to

No one has said a word to us
about the marriage law, even

months before being passed in

they support our having the same
rights, but have a problem calling
us married.
We are going to be married and

who sincerely support us to share
our special day. Because I’m so

I guess it could be coincidental.

His wife Debbie worked as a school secretary
for a large portion of her career and experienced the same dire direction that education
began to take in the mid-1980s.
The trend began gradually, but with the
inevitability of an avalanche, it accelerated into
the insanity of test, test, test that now creates a
pale imagery of what was once a system that
provided the best public education on the planet.
We spent the weekend with Tad and
Debbie, and the difference in their appearance,
health and general outlook on life was incredible. Gone were the beaten-down, overworked
and overwrought people fighting for survival in
a failing educational system.
In their place were two people happy with
their lives, making more money than they ever
dreamed possible, and spending time with their
children and grandchildren.
This story is not the exception but the rule
when it comes to people leaving education
these days.
When I asked Debbie what the difference
was, she was quick to reply.
“School has become a horrible place to
work. It beats you down and just keeps taking
more and more.”

A year to a young child is a long
time. In addition to recognizing
the joy that he/she was born, it’s a
start to learning the structure of
our calendar. It doesn’t have to
involve a big party or gifts, just a
special activity day with a parent.
Our family has observed halfbirthdays for 45 years and have
found it to be a worthwhile tradition.

a grandparent would be delighted
for the chance to celebrate that
special occasion.

my sister left a $20 bill at the front

Her point is easy to understand if you’ve
worked in a classroom in the last three decades.
It began innocently enough. The 1983 federal report on the state of education said we
were falling behind everyone else in the world.
So, the government, both state and federal,
stepped in and really fouled things up as only a
government can do.
If it had been a gunfight, the governors and
presidents involved would have quickly shot
themselves in the foot and called it progress
because they beat their opponent to the draw.
The insanity reached institutional levels with
No Child Left Behind. No longer would we
teach history, math and biology. We would
teach reading and a little math.
Because so few teachers understand math,
that subject was thankfully largely left to those
that did, but reading was another story.
Good teachers take pride and ownership in
their subjects, and Tad was beyond good.
When they began taking time out of his welding, animal production and plant science classes
to teach reading he was understandably
annoyed.
At one faculty meeting he asked the resident
experts when the reading teachers would be
teaching welding. The astonished looks from
the building “leadership” said it all. It had never
occurred to them that vocational skills were of
any value at all. It was all about getting those
reading scores to improve. The question is never answered by the
mindless adherents to the testing methodology,
“Why would you want an incompetent auto
mechanic or electrician?”
When did it became bad to earn a living getting your hands dirty?
That attitude, combined with Colorado’s
practice of taking valuable instruction time out
of the day to enroll students in “test prep” classes to improve their reading and math scores,
was too much.
Tad and Debbie are happy once again. The
only losers in this story are the students who
will never get the chance to work with either of
them.
Those of us old enough to begin our careers
in the 1970s and 1980s had a brief taste of academic freedom. Young teachers will never experience it.
In the end, it’s much crueler to cage a wild
bird than to simply keep one in a cage from
birth to death. There is life after retirement.

Wyoming dominates Idaho 42-10
LARAMIE (AP) — Brett Smith
threw for four touchdowns and
Shaun Wick rushed for 110 yards as
Wyoming beat Idaho 42-10 Saturday
in a game that included a half-hour
lightning delay.
Smith set a school record by netting 72 passing and rushing TDs in
his career. Just a junior, Smith surpassed the
previous record of 70 set by quarterback Casey
Bramlet from 2000-03. He is one TD pass
from tying Bramlet for the school record for
touchdown passes.
Smith completed 22 of 38 passes for 295
yards for Wyoming (1-1). Three of his TD
passes went to Dominic Rufran, who scored on
passes of 1, 6 and 40 yards — all in the third
quarter. Robert Herron caught five
passes for 123 yards.
Smith also rushed for 64 yards.
Wyoming gained 564 yards
total offense and converted 11 of
18 third downs.
Wick became the first
Wyoming player to rush for 100
yards in consecutive games since 2008. He
rushed for 101 against Nebraska the previous
week.
Chad Chalich led the Vandals (0-2), completing 22 of 32 passes for 182 yards. Josh
McCain rotated in at quarterback and led the
Vandals with 49 rushing yards.
The Cowboys defense limited Idaho to 5 of
20 on third down conversions and collected
seven sacks for 61 lost yards.
Eddie Yarbrough had three sacks, and Sonny
Puletasi two for Wyoming. Yarbrough also
recorded nine tackles.
The Vandals got within the red zone only
twice during the game.
Idaho’s lone TD came with 18 seconds left
in the game when James Baker scored on a 1yard run. Austin Rehkow converted a 41-yard
field goal earlier in the fourth quarter.
The game was delayed for 33 minutes in the
second quarter because of lightning. Wyoming
was leading the Vandals 14-0 when scattered
storms moved into the area of War Memorial
Stadium, which is the highest FBS stadium in
the nation at 7,220 feet altitude.
RHS makes top bracket in Gillette VB event
❑ The Lady Wolverines have
their debut in Wolverine Gym
at 6 p.m. this Thursday, Sept.
12, at Rock Springs.

Staff Writer
The Riverton Lady Wolverines won two and
lost one in pool play but advanced to Saturday’s
top gold bracket division of the Camel
Invitational volleyball tournament in Gillette.
Riverton opened pool play with a three-set
win over Cheyenne East (25-18, 22-25, 25-15),
a three-set loss to Rawlins (17-25, 25-22, 2523), and a two-set win over Buffalo (25-19, 2519).
“Overall I would have liked to have beaten
Rawlins, but they ended up first in our pool.
The Outlaws are scrappy and are a Class 3-A
favorite. They throw that ball back at you. We’ll
hit it, and they will dig it back up,” RHS head
coach Adrian McNamee said.
Saturday, the Lady Wolverines took the
eighth seed in the gold bracket and competed
with Rawlins, Douglas, Casper Natrona, Kelly
Walsh, Rapid City Stevens, Gillette and
Sheridan.
In their first bracket match Saturday morning, Riverton topped Douglas, the other Class
3-A power at the tournament, 2-1 (21-25, 27-
Green finished the round with a
67. The course in Green River is a
par 71.
Green is the defending Class 4A state champion.
“It was a really good match,”
RHS coach Lars Flanagan said.
“Easton opened up with six 3s in a
row for a 29 on the front. That
was very impressive. The first
round, Easton felt like he left a few
out there. He hit the ball really
well, but didn’t putt as well as he
would have liked.”
Paxton put together a 72 in the
first 18 holes.
Other teams in the field were
Class 4-A West opponents Green
River, Rock Springs and Evanston.

Tigers grab team gold
crown at home tourney
❑ Three Lander boys
placed in the top 10
over 36 holes.
By Bruce Tippets
Sports Editor
Two days of solid golf on their
home course lifted the Lander
Valley High School Tigers boys
team to the title Friday at the
Lander Invitational.
LVHS posted a team score of
635, 13 better than second-place
Jackson’s 648. Star Valley claimed
third (692).
“As a team we had some good
scores,” LVHS coach Terry Berg
said. “There is always need for
work.”
Three LVHS golfers finished in
the top 10. Casey Winger placed
second with scores of 77 and 72
for a 149. Winger tied Jordan
Costello from Pinedale. Costello
carded rounds of 78 and 71.
Costello was the Class 3-A 2012
individual champion.
“I was really pleased with
Casey,” Berg said. “He pushed
those guys and made them play
good golf to beat him. He did a
nice job.”
Trey Massey checked in fourth
after shooting scores of 77 and 78
for a 155. Levi Stuttle was 10th at
81-82 for a 163.
The tournament provided the
first opportunity for LVHS to play
against Star Valley, Cody, Powell
and Pinedale.
“I was impressed the play of the
top five or six kids,” Berg said.
“Lander is not an easy golf course.
If you can shoot even par or one or
two over, then you are playing
pretty good.”
LVHS heads to the Star Valley
Invitational on Thursday and
Friday.
“We need to work on approach
shots,” Berg said. “We need to hit
more greens.”
LVHS girls third
The LVHS girls were third in
the team standings with a 677.
Star Valley was first after a score of
608. Jackson placed third (733).

fifth in the field in rounds of 110

Pinedale beats mistake-prone Shoshoni 18-0
By Randy Tucker
Sports Writer
SHOSHONI -- It seemed a safe
bet that the Shoshoni Wranglers
would win Friday night in their
opening game of the football season. But it wasn’t the home-standing Wranglers but rather the visiting squad from Pinedale that took
the 18-0 win.
The rivalry between the two
schools with the bucking bronco
logo is a recent one, dating back to
1997 and is decidedly in favor of
Pinedale with a record of 8-2
against Shoshoni. Shoshoni’s pair
of wins came back to back in 2000
and 2001 in coach Harold Bailey’s
final two seasons.
Shoshoni was its own worst
enemy Friday with numerous personal foul penalties, missed blocking assignments, fumbles, bad
snaps, dropped passes and, perhaps
most destructively, three blocked
punts.
“It was the first game of the season for us, for the officials, for
everyone,” Shoshoni head coach
Tony Trumpler said.
Pinedale scored on each of the
Danny Huxtable and JJ Crichton sacked Pinedale quarterback
Brenden Lloyd in the season opener for both schools at
Shoshoni Friday night.

turnovers with either touchdowns
or safeties.
The Class 2-A Wranglers from
Sublette County more than tripled
Shoshoni in total offense and completely shut down the SHS ground
game, limiting Shoshoni to a team
total of -10 yards on the night.
In spite of the later mistakes,
Shoshoni executed nearly perfectly
on its opening possession of the
game. Crisp passes from senior
quarterback Tyler Clemetson to
Tristan Parrish, Connor Wilkinson
and Danny Huxtable moved the
ball to the Pinedale 2-yard line,
but the Wranglers sputtered on the
cusp of the goal line. Huxtable
gained a yard, but Parrish lost
seven on a sweep before gaining
seven on the same play. Facing
fourth and goal just inside the
Pinedale 1-yard line, Clemetson
tried to sneak in for the score, but
Pinedale’s front line threw the
Shoshoni line backward and
dropped Clemetson for a loss.
Pinedale has a solid running
back in 6-0, 184-pound senior
Ethan Egle. He began to grind
away at Shoshoni’s defense on
dives, off-tackle runs and occasional toss sweeps. The senior paced
Pinedale with 212 yards on 26 carries.
Mental
mistakes
were
Shoshoni’s nemesis.
Freshman punter Jason Thoren
boomed a couple of punts over 40
yards in the opening half but was
tackled by Pinedale’s Jake
Hathaway while trying to handle a
bad snap at the Shoshoni 20. Egle

Big Cody team shuts
out LVHS Tigers 28-0
By Bruce Tippets
Sports Editor
Cody kept the Lander Valley
High School Tigers scoreless on
the football field in a 28-0 victory
Friday night in Park County.
The contest was the season
opener for both squads.
LVHS is playing in the Class 3A East conference this year, and
Cody is in the 3-A West division.
Cody is the No. 5 ranked team
last week in Class 3-A. LVHS is
not ranked.
“I think that we competed hard
against Cody,” LVHS coach Doug
Hughes said. “We improved a lot
from our scrimmage against
Shoshoni, but we still have a lot of
work to do.”
The Tigers escaped the loss
without any major injuries.
LVHS will now take on Star
Valley this Friday night in Afton.
“We need to continue to work
on spreading the ball and trying to
get the ball to our quick athletes
on the outside,” Hughes said.

The Broncs were in command
from the start against the younger
Tigers.
The game was the first for new
Cody head coach Matt McFadden.
Cody built an early 15-0 lead
against the Tigers.
“We hit our receivers a little bit
better,” Hughes said. “We caught
the ball better, and I thought that
we played a more physical football
game.”
LVHS went with a pair of quarterbacks in the game with Andrew
Von Rein and Pete Spriggs.
“We are going to break down
the film,” Hughes said. “We will
make the decision soon on where
we are going to go. They both had
equal playing time.”
LVHS tried to mix up the running game with some passing.

POWELL -- The Powell
Panthers football team is as good
as advertised.
Maybe better.
After a spectacular 68-yard
touchdown pass from Brandon
Fullerton to Austin Patterson
that gave Riverton a 6-0 lead on
the first play of the game, it was
all Panthers after that.
Powell scored 49 unanswered
points to drill the Wolverines 496 in Class 3-A non-conference
play in a gamed was called after
just three quarters because of
lightning.
“We’ve got to get better. We’ve
got to play better, we’ve got to
block better, we’ve got to catch
better, and we have to run
tougher. We have to be more
physical,” a dejected RHS head
coach Pat Patterson said following the game, his first as the
Wolverines’ head coach.
After Riverton’s opening score,
the Wolverines held Powell to a
three and out and forced a punt,
but the Panthers stopped the
Wolverines on their next drive,
blocked the ensuing punt, and
the rout was on.
Add special teams to the list of
things Patterson hopes his team
can improve on. The block was
one of two the Panthers managed
Friday.
“We had noticed on film that
we were pretty sure we could get
back in there and block the punt.
We got good pressure through
the middle,” Panther head coach
Jim Stringer said.

Powell tailback Cory Heny
scored the Panthers’ first three
touchdowns, two by run and one
as a receiver. Big Garrett Lynch
ran for and caught a touchdown,
and Kalei Smith and Hayden
Cragoe also scored for Powell.
In all, the Panthers gained 363
yards of offense in the three
quarters of balanced play -- 184
via the rush and 179 through the
air. Heny was Powell’s leading
rusher with 94 yards on 17 carries, and Cragoe was 9-19 for
179 yards passing.
By contrast, Riverton managed
just 67 more yards after the
opening-play score.
Quarterback Fullerton was 516 for 107 yards with two interceptions.
Riverton’s leading rusher was
Tristan White with 25 yards on
10 carries.
After the third quarter ended,
with rain falling and lightning
moving in from the south, the
referees, coaches and Powell’s
administration met on the field
and decided to call the game.
“You don’t want to get anyone
hurt. I came from eastern
Colorado and tornado alley. I’m
chicken crap when it comes to
lightning. I don’t like lightning,”
Stringer said.
Up next for the Wolverines is a
Friday night battle with the
Green River Wolves, who were
thumped by Douglas 59-7 in
their first game. Kickoff is at 7
p.m. at Wolverine Field.
“You’ll have two teams coming
into our place Friday licking
their wounds and hungry for a
win,” Patterson said.

No. 1 Djokovic faces No. 2 Nadal in U.S. Open final
NEW YORK (AP) — The game that will be
talked about for years and years required 198
strokes, 30 points, and 21 minutes to decide.
Entire sets have taken less.
It might be easy to conclude that Novak
Djokovic won his tense, topsy-turvy U.S. Open
semifinal against Stanislas Wawrinka despite
dropping that epic third game of the fifth set.
The truth is that the 2011 champion emerged
with a 2-6, 7-6 (4), 6-3, 3-6, 6-4 victory in 4
hours, 9 minutes on Saturday at least in part
because of the one that got away.
“Even though I lost that game, I felt like,
‘OK, he’s getting a little bit more tired, and
maybe this is my chance to step in,’” Djokovic
said. “And that’s what I (did).”
The No. 1-seeded Djokovic will play No. 2
Rafael Nadal on Monday. It’s their record 37th
match against each other, their sixth Grand
Slam final, and their third meeting for the
championship at Flushing Meadows since
2010. Nadal was a 6-4, 7-6 (1), 6-2 winner
SHS
tallied runs of eight and nine yards, then
capped the drive on a three-yard plunge with
5:12 remaining in the opening half. The kick
was wide left.
Pinedale made its own share of mistakes, but
none was bigger than a hurried spike on fourth
down by a confused SHS offense that ended a
late second-period scoring threat at the
Shoshoni 16.
Shoshoni’s running game was non-existent in
the second half, and Clemetson had trouble
connecting with his receivers, throwing 13 consecutive incomplete passes before finding
Connor Wilkinson on a 17-yard gain early in
the fourth period.
Pinedale took advantage of Shoshoni’s abandonment of the running game and pressured
Clemetson hard on nearly every snap.
Two blocked Thoren punts, a lost fumble
inside their own 3-yard line, and a shotgun
snap that sailed over Clemetson’s head into the
end zone set up two second half safeties and the
final Pinedale touchdown.
The first safety came after the bad snap when
Clemetson was able to get the ball out of the
end zone before being tackled inside the 1.
Continued from page C-1
Pinedale’s Hathaway and Rusty Steele tackled
Danny Huxtable deep in the end zone for the
2-point play.
Early in the third quarter, the Wranglers
blocked another Thoren punt, with the ball
spinning out of the back of the end zone for a
second safety.
A fumbled Shoshoni exchange inside the 3yard line set up Pinedale’s final score on another
Egle run.
Though the offensive statistics were lopsided
and even with a plethora of Shoshoni mistakes,
the Wrangler defense played well. Outstanding
defensive efforts were turned in from senior
defensive end J.J. Crichton, tackle Tom
Nordwick, Parrish and Wilkinson. “Our defense played well when you consider
they were on the field about 80 percent of the
time,” Trumpler said.
“We need do some work on our offensive
line.”
Pinedale ran away from Crichton’s side after
the first series of the contest.
Shoshoni travels to Lusk this Friday to face
the talented Tigers on their home field.
Shohsoni has never beaten Lusk on the gridiron
Tigers

“I think they liked the format because everybody had a chance to win their flight,”
Flanagan said.
The RHS boys won 10 of 12 matches in the
tournament.
“We flighted them and put them against the
other players with the No. 1 players go against
each other and so on,” Flanagan said.
Flanagan said Chris Quayle stepped up his
play with rounds of 81 and a 77.
“This is the third weekend in a row we have
had somebody new perform really well,”
Flanagan said.
“Right now, every one of our top six golfers
has at least one score in the 70s, and many of
them more than one.”
over No. 8 Richard Gasquet of France in
Saturday’s second semifinal, which was far less
competitive than the first.
Indeed, the tennis and theatrics at 1-all in
the last set alone of Djokovic-Wawrinka were so
compelling that the game was interrupted twice
by standing ovations.
By then, Wawrinka’s strained right thigh had
been taped after a medical timeout in the
fourth set (he would be seized by cramps during his postmatch news conference).

Cougars drubbed 45-0 by 2-A Lovell
By Randy Tucker
Staff Writer
It’s been 24 years since the
Lovell Bulldogs and Wind River
Cougars met on the gridiron, and
the Cougars might like it to be
another 24 before they meet again.
Lovell built a 33-point lead after
one period and routed the visiting
Cougars 45-0 Friday night in Big
Horn County.
The loss drops the Class 1-A
Cougars to 0-8 overall in school
history against the Class 2-A
Bulldogs.
Lovell didn’t waste any time
Friday, with Dylan Pickett taking a
short opening kickoff 75 yards
into the end zone to give the Dogs
a 7-0 lead just seconds into the
contest.
Lovell scored often over the next
12 minutes, as Wind River repeatedly fumbled the snap from the
pistol formation offense.
Jeff Jamison capped a short
drive on a 1-yard plunge, followed
by another score by Pickett on a
rush of 5 yards.

A request from the Interim Ambulance Director was reviewed in which he asked for approval to write off $3,604 for services to
inmates incarcerated at the Fremont County Detention facility, as they could find no other payor financially responsible. Keja
Whiteman moved, Larry Allen seconded, to approve the write off as recommended. Motion carried unanimously.
A letter was reviewed from Judy Christensen regarding Horse Creek Road. The Board will send a letter to her informing her of a
meeting scheduled for August 26, 2013 at Dubois Town Hall with the Dubois Mayor and Fremont County representatives to discuss the matter.
Transportation Superintendent Dave Pendleton stated interviews were recently held for an Operator position. He recommended
an in-house promotion of a Truck Driver to the Operator position, at an entry level salary of $37,000. Stephanie Kessler moved,
Keja Whiteman seconded, to approve the in-house promotion. Motion carried unanimously. Pendleton stated the vacant Truck
Driver position will be advertised.
Dave Pendleton presented a Road Maintenance Contract for the Dubois area for July 2013 – June 2014. He recommended the
current contractor, T-Y Excavation, Inc., be awarded a one year renewal. Keja Whiteman moved, Larry Allen seconded, to approve
the recommendation for a one year extension for T-Y Excavation, Inc. Motion carried unanimously. The Board stated this would be
the third year for this contractor and requested the Contract be re-bid next year.
Nine individuals were present in the audience, representing five county engineering firms, to hear discussion between Dave
Pendleton and the Commissioners regarding upcoming One Percent funded projects. Discussion centered on the process and
scope of advertising for the projects. The first part of the discussion centered on the process and scope of advertising for the projects for engineering consultant selection. Keja Whiteman moved, Travis Becker seconded, to authorize advertising for letters of
interest and qualifications from Fremont County engineering firms for upcoming one percent road projects. Motion carried unanimously. Discussion was further held that in-county residence would already need to be established as of today’s date. The audience members thanked the Board for keeping the work in-county, as a benefit to citizens and businesses within Fremont County,
who are also paying the additional one percent tax. They further stated this action meets what the tax was trying to accomplish for
its citizens. Pendleton clarified projects which may also be receiving state or federal funding by stating the requirements of these
additional monies would require a formal proposal process meeting the directives of the funding agency. The second part of the
discussion centered around bidding the construction work to contractors in which Deputy County Attorney Jodi Darrough updated
the Board on a recent Supreme Court decision which ruled preference could be offered to in-county construction contractors at this
time. He indicated the Board could set a certain percentage as an in-county preference in these instances. The Board took this
matter under advisement.
In other business, Washakie County Commissioners had earlier informed Chairman Thompson there will be a bridge in the
Tensleep area that will be unusable for several months, thereby making increased travel conditions on upper Badwater and
Nowood Roads, located in Fremont County. Dave Pendleton will visit with Washakie County Transportation Department to look at
solutions to the increased traffic on these two roads.
Jenni Wildcat was present to interview for a vacancy on the Wind River Visitor’s Council. Two other applicants had been interviewed
previously. Larry Allen moved, Travis Becker seconded, to appoint Elizabeth Lightner and Jenni Wildcat to three year terms on
the Wind River Visitor’s Council for the two County Commission appointments. Motion carried unanimously. The Board will further
request Council members attend an upcoming meeting to provide an update on their Council activities.
Fremont County Wellness Program Coordinator Penny Fahey conducted health assessment checks for the Commissioners. She
informed the Board of the 1st Annual Wellness Program 5K and Chili Dinner scheduled for September 7th at Lander City Park.
Fahey was then joined by Executive Health Committee members Jim Massman and Margy Irvine to review a Health Promotion
Performance Report, including statistics for Health Promotion Rebate, Premium Reduction, Population Overview and Participation.
All programs indicate an increase in participation for the various sessions. Statistics for % Gap in Care for the chronic diseases
being tracked showed diabetes with the largest gap in care. Massman stated that the Plan Provider EBMS will no longer be offering the Disease Management Program, effective July 1st as this program will now totally be administered through the Fremont
County Wellness Program. There may need to be some adjustments made to the Plan next January to meet requirements of the
Affordable Health Care Act.
Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative Director Melinda Cox stated interviews have been held for the WYO10 Day Reporting
Center/Juvenile Alternatives to Detention program. She subsequently introduced Melvin Miller, her recommended candidate for
the position. Keja Whiteman moved, Stephanie Kessler seconded, to accept the recommendation to hire Melvin Miller for the position at the recommended salary. Motion carried unanimously. In closing, Cox thanked the Commissioners for the assistance of
the Building Maintenance Department in cleaning the home on the Major property.
Interim Ambulance Director Todd Smith informed the Board that Co-Medical Director Dr. Clifford has resigned his position as of
September 1st, citing professional pursuits. He stated Co-Medical Director, Dr. Billin, has agreed to take over full medical direction.
Smith recommended both salaries be combined for the remainder of the year (totaling $9,000 for September 2013 – May 2014) as
Dr. Billin’s liability and responsibility has doubled. The Board requested the County Attorney’s Office draft the appropriate Contract
to reflect the change from co-director to director position with applicable salary adjustments.
Todd Smith stated he has met with all employees regarding interest in going from volunteers or part-time to full-time status. All
interested individuals were given a chance to interview for the full-time positions and he stated benefits for those positions will begin
November 1st. Smith further reviewed suggested revisions to the Director’s Job Description. Commissioner Allen will continue
working with Smith on the document with a final draft to be presented to the Board in September. In another matter, Commissioner
Allen informed Smith the EMT training he received the previous week was very good.
Hearing Examiner Teresa McKee was present to review the evidence presented at the hearing held the previous week regarding
the Application of a Private Road submitted by Wilkinson and Wiggins (applicants) v. Cross et al. (respondents). Deputy County
Attorney Jodi Darrough was present. Following discussion, Travis Becker moved, Stephanie Kessler seconded, that the applicants
met the requirements of W.S. § 24-9-101 and access is necessary because the applicants have no legally enforceable access.
Keja Whiteman abstained from voting on the motion due to her absence from the hearing. Motion carried. Travis Becker moved,
Larry Allen seconded, to enter an Order so finding the applicants have no legally enforceable access and certifying the application
directly to District Court. Motion carried unanimously.
Fremont County Fire Warden Craig Haslam and Transportation Superintendent Dave Pendleton discussed liability, leave without
pay and vacation time issues related to the recent Fairfield Fire. Also present for the discussion was Vehicle Maintenance
Supervisor Glen Steers and Administrative Assistant Pennie Buffington. Following discussion, Chairman Thompson asked the
group to continue working on a process regarding liability, double reimbursement, jurisdictional transition, training and land ownership issues.
In a related item, Commissioner Whiteman reviewed concerns she was notified of when electricity was shut off at the Youth Camp
as a result of the Fairfield Fire. Communication issues were discussed as related to this issue.
Dean Sersland briefly joined the meeting to inquire about the status of the right-of-way research on Kingfisher Drive, to which the
Board stated they had been notified earlier in the meeting this project has not been completed at this time.
There being no further business, Travis Becker moved, Larry Allen seconded, to adjourn the meeting at 12:50 p.m. and reconvene
for a Regular Meeting on September 3, 2013 at 9:00 a.m. Motion carried unanimously.

Ducks use speed to
blow past Virginia
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -Marcus Mariota and No. 2
Oregon wasted no time showing
Virginia all that speed the Ducks
bring is more than just talk.
Mariota ran 71 yards for a
touchdown on the Ducks’ sixth
play from scrimmage, turning a
third-and-5 that had the crowd
jacked up for a defensive stop into
a demoralizing introduction into
what Oregon football is all about.
“They came out in a man-free
look and they all kind of ran with
their guy and I just kind of hit it
up the middle,” Mariota said of
the play, on which he flared five
receivers out, then ran a draw. He
was virtually untouched on the
play.
“The guys did a good job blocking and the receivers did a good
job blocking downfield,” he said.
Mariota finished with 122 yards
on four carries, and threw two
touchdown passes. De’Anthony
Thomas added three touchdown
runs, and the Ducks piled up 557
yards of offense in their first trip to
Charlottesville on the way to a 5910 victory that looked frighteningly easy.
Still, it left first-year coach Mark
Helfrich with plenty to complain
about, namely 11 penalties for 119
yards.
“Obviously we will clean that
up,” Helfrich said.
The offense, which built a 21-0
lead in the first 10:32, felt like it
left a lot on the field, too.
“I thought we did all right,”
Mariota said. “There were some
times that we slowed ourselves
down with penalties and bad
throws. If everything starts to click
for us, like those first three drives, I
think things will get rolling and
we’ll be pretty good.”
Thomas ran for 124 yards on
just 11 carries, and the Ducks (20), who gained a school-record
772 yards last week in beating
Nicholls State, looked capable of
doing it again against a Virginia
defense that hoped to keep the
Cavaliers in the game. Oregon’s
up-tempo offense did all its damage while possessing the ball for
just 21:25.
As always, Thomas said, their
opponents faces’ told the story.
“That’s the funny part. For the
first couple plays, they’re out there
talking, and as the game goes by,
guys are just slowing down and
you can see by their body language
and stuff, and that’s when we
know we got `em,” the fleet junior
said.
Virginia (1-1) came into the
game riding a high after a comeback victory last week against
BYU, the first since coach Mike
London hired new offensive,
defensive and special teams coordinators. Defensive coordinator Jon
Tenuta’s unit, especially, seemed
confident it would be able to slow
the Ducks down, but Mariota provided a very early look at what it
was up against.
“We knew they are fast and athletic,” London said. “We tried to
practice the pace, but it’s hard to
practice for that type of athleticism
that they have. It is always a challenge when you face an offense like
that.”
The victory was the Ducks’
16th in a row on their opponent’s
field, the longest streak in the
country.
Mariota finished 14 of 28 for
199 yards with touchdowns of 30
yards to Bralon Addison and 11 to
Keanon Lowe.
The Cavaliers trailed 21-0 after
10:32 and never were able to sustain anything on offense. David
Watford was 29 for 41 for 161
yards, but threw three interceptions and fumbled once, and all
four turnovers led to Oregon
touchdowns.
SDSU falls big to Ohio State
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Kenny
Guiton took over when Braxton
Miller left with a sprained left
knee, running for one touchdown
and passing for two on Saturday
while leading No. 3 Ohio State to
a 42-7 victory over San Diego
State.
Miller watched the last three
quarters from the sideline after
being sandwiched between two
tacklers on the Buckeyes’ seventh
offensive play. The Buckeyes (2-0)
didn’t need him.
Guiton, who helped save Ohio
State’s 12-0 season a year ago, had
the most playing time he’s ever had
in a game. He set career bests with
19 of 28 passing for 152 yards and
83 rushing yards.
It was another disappointing
outing for the Aztecs (0-2), who
lost 40-19 to FCS Eastern Illinois
at home in their opener.
Guiton came in having completed 14 of 25 passes for 144
yards and two touchdowns with
two interceptions in his 16 career
games. He had totaled 59 yards
rushing on 14 attempts.
Ohio State dominated from the
outset, but a crowd of 104,984 at
Ohio Stadium sat in stunned
silence when Miller was injured on
Ohio State’s first offensive series.
On fourth-and-1 at the Aztecs
12, Miller carried to the right side
and then cut back. He was trying
to squirm for an extra yard or two
when he was hit by defensive back
King Holder while going backwards, with middle linebacker Jake
Fely then hitting him and knocking his helmet off.
Miller lay on the turf for a short
time, rubbing his head. He was
attended by a doctor, and eventually left the field under his own
power, although he limped slightly.
A team physician on the bench
manipulated his left knee and he
grimaced in pain.
Miller was taken from the field
on a cart.
In came Guiton, who on the
very next play handed to freshman
Dontre Wilson, who sprinted
around end for a 7-yard score.
The senior from Texas also
tossed a 27-yard scoring pass to
Corey Brown and then handed off
to Jordan Hall for a 4-yard score
with 3 seconds left in the first
quarter. During the lull before the
ensuing kickoff, Miller received a
loud ovation as he jogged across
the field from the ramp leading to
the locker room to the Ohio State
sideline.
Miller, wearing a large knee
brace, remained on the sideline the
rest of the game, never putting on
a helmet but occasionally speaking
to coach Urban Meyer and his
teammates.
Meanwhile, Guiton was large
and in charge.
Just like they did a week ago in
rolling to a 23-0 lead, the Buckeyes
got off to a big early lead. This
time, however, they didn’t allow
the opponent to get back in the
game as Buffalo did in Ohio State’s
40-20 victory.
Guiton kept around the left side
on a 44-yard scoring run. Rod
Smith, coming off a one-game suspension for an unspecified violation of team rules, tacked on a 1yard touchdown to make it 35-0 at
the half.
It wasn’t the first time in which
Guiton came on in relief of Miller
and grabbed the spotlight.
Guiton had taken over for an
injured Miller late in last season’s
eighth game, against Purdue.
Trailing by eight points with 47
seconds left at his own 35-yard line
he led the Buckeyes to an improbable touchdown and then threw a
2-point conversion pass to force
overtime. The Buckeyes won 2922 on the way to the sixth unbeaten, untied season at the school.
Guiton hit a leaping Brown on
a 24-yard scoring pass in the third
quarter.
His only mistake was a secondquarter interception by cornerback
Damontae Kazee -- leaping, twisting, one-handed grab that will
probably end up on a few highlight reels.
San Diego State, which went 94 a year ago and played in a bowl
game for the third season in a row,
didn’t get on the board until late in
the third quarter. Backup quarterback Quinn Kaehler flipped a 2yard scoring pass to Chad Young
to make it 42-7.
