Now, two men face charges for breaking into area homes
By Nick Balatsos
[email protected]
Glenrock police have arrested another
person who they say is connected to two
recent home burglaries here and in Rolling Hills.
Garrett Huffer, 19, of Glenrock, was
arrested last week after reportedly confessing to breaking into a Rolling Hills home
and helping break into another home on
Second Street.
Police say Huffer worked with Michael
Allison, 22, of Evansville, to break into the
two homes, where an estimated $10,000
worth of guns, jewelry and other items
was stolen.
Allison and Huffer are facing multiple
felonies and potentially years in prison for
their alleged involvement in the crimes.

According to court documents, the
first burglary occurred on Second Street
in Glenrock between Jan. 26 and March 8
while the owner was away.
The second happened March 17 in Rolling Hills, where seven guns and a family
heirloom were among the items lifted from
the house.
Through their investigation, police were
able to recover all but one of the stolen
firearms. They were also able to return a
watch that belonged to the victim’s late
father. The victim publicly thanked police
for their work during Monday night’s town
council meeting.

Heads up, Glenrock. There are a couple
new town laws you should probably know
about it.
First, if you live within town limits, you
are no longer allowed to have more than three
cats or three dogs.
If you have both cats and dogs, the magic
number is now four.
Owning additional pets puts you at risk of
having the surplus animals removed.
But don’t worry: the ordinance is being
grandfathered in, so if you already own more
than the allowed number, the town will tolerate you,but your pets still have to be licensed
and vaccinated. And you are not allowed to
replace the excess pets when they die, or
again, they could be taken.
Second, you are no longer allowed to
leave your vehicle parked on the side of any
street, highway or public space for more
than three days. If you do, you could receive

Glenrock schools experience dip in graduation rate

A smaller percentage of Glenrock
students graduated during the 2014-15
school year than in the previous two
school years, according to a report
released this week from the Wyoming
Department of Education.
The report shows that roughly 83
percent of students who were expected
to walk across the stage together as
freshmen graduated on time last year.
That’s a small improvement over
the state’s roughly 79 percent average
graduation rate, but also reflects a twoyear low for the district.
According to state data, the school
district boasted a 90 percent graduation rate during the 2012-13 school
year and an 87 percent graduation rate
the year afterward.
The graduation rate is more in
line with the rates from the 2009 to
2011 school years, where roughly
80 percent of students consistently
graduated.

GHS culinary raising money for Nationals
By Nick Balatsos
[email protected]
Glenrock High School culinary
and baking students know the recipe
for success.
They worked hard throughout the
year, a hour-and-a-half every other
day in the kitchen, perfecting it.
They successfully tested it against
14 of the toughest teams in the state
during the annual Prostart High
School Culinary Competition held
recently in Cheyenne.
And now they are ready to bring it
to the big leagues.
The state championship winning
baking and culinary teams have
earned spots at nationals, which
will take place at the end of April in
Grapevine, Texas.
There, they will have the opportunity to face off against the best culinary teams from across the country
and abroad.
But before that can happen, they
need a little help getting there.
It will cost each team member
$1,300 to travel and compete.
To help raise the money, the team
is hosting a chicken fried steak dinner on April 6 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
at the Rock Bottom Steak House.
For more information, contact
Candace Stoll at (307) 436-7488.
Council
a ticket.
And third, town employees appointed by the mayor
can now be fired for cause at
any time by a majority vote
from the council.
Town employees include
the town clerk, the treasurer,
police chief, town attorney
and municipal court judge.
The change represents a
clarification of the existing
ordinances.
Town council members
voted in favor of these additions and changes Monday
night.
The vote to pass the pet
restriction law came despite Stuart McCrary, the
town’s animal control officer, speaking against the
proposal at the last council
meeting.
McCrary thought the law
was unenforceable and that
From the Front Page
limiting the number of pets a
person could possess would
do little to combat related pet
problems facing the town.
Council members assured
the public that McCrary, who
was not present, misspoke.
Mayor Doug Frank said,
“I regret that he had that discussion with us that night. ”
When asked, Glenrock
Police Chief Tim Hurd said
that the question of enforceability had been settled.
Councilman Bruce Roumell had voted against the
proposed ordinances at the
last meeting, but changed his
mind this time around.
Council members agreed
that the new ordinances
would give town officials a
way to deal with problems as
they came up.
Frank said the parking
law would give the town
additional tools to deal with
nuisance vehicles, though
he acknowledged the capaciousness of the language.
“We all know what the
intent is of this law,” he said.
“We’re not trying to punish anyone that’s lawfully
parked in front of their house
and maybe gone for vacation
for a week or what have you.
This is about proper storage
of vehicles,” he said.
Councilwoman Brandy
Popp said she receives more
public comment about parking than anything else.
She said people are constantly complaining to her
about people leaving their
cars in inconvenient places
for long periods of time.
“Now we will have
teeth — tomorrow — to
do something about it,” she
said, drawing laughter from
people in the room.
Frank said that in the
near future the town might
also have to consider adding
language to the town books
to deal with winter storm
parking, so that the streets
could be cleared.
He joked that this week’s
storm would be a case study
for the matter.
“If we get hit like we’re
supposed to, we’ll get to
study it in real-time here on
Wednesday,” he said.
When the law allowing
the council to fire town employees was brought up, it
passed unanimously.
Frank expressed that he
disagreed with it, saying
that it would make the job of
future mayors harder.
He said the town lawyer,
who was not in attendance,
also disagreed with it.
Grad Rates
the year’s cohort dropping out.
“Eight kids dropping out is eight too
many,” the superintendent said.
Hughes said that the district will
look at some of the programs in the
high school, such as an online credit
recovery program, to ensure that they
are working.
Hughes said that he also wanted to
find out who the kids were and why they
were unable to graduate so that he could
make sure that more students didn’t fall
through the same cracks in the future.
“We need to re-evaluate what we
are doing in these different programs
and whether they are they successful,”
he said, adding that the district needs
Babies’ First Easter
to find the common denominator of
the problem.
Hughes said one student who
dropped out, for example, started high
school as a freshman in Glenrock and
then left to go to another district, before
returning his senior year for one day.
Although the district has no control
over a student’s home life, Hughes said
that it was nonetheless vital for the district to make sure that teachers and staff
are forming relationships with the kids
and doing everything they can.
“People look at dropout rates as a
high school problem. I look at it as a
K-12 problem,” he said. “It starts in kindergarten ... It’s critical in my belief that
From the Front Page
(educators) have to find a connection ...
It comes down to that basic relationship
you establish with kids.”
Up the road in Douglas, some 88
percent of students graduated, according to the new data.
Statewide, the 79 percent graduation
rate reflects a small bump from the 78
percent graduation rate the 2013-14
school year, but a decrease from years
prior as well as the national 80 percent
graduation rate.
State schools chief Jillian Balow
said that the state needs to do better
graduating kids. She said the Wyoming
Department of Education would be
working with schools to do so.

Local teen starts poetry
group, looking for members
By Nick Balatsos
[email protected]
After graduating with her high school
equivalency this spring, Mikaela Piasecki
saw her time with her teacher and classmates coming to an end.
So she did something about it: She
formed a weekly poetry group.
The group’s first meeting was held a
couple weeks ago.
In the back of the library, members of
the group, dubbed Paper Voices, huddled
around a small table and discussed and
read poems from across the world.
There were poems from Brazil, Chile
and the United States.
Toward the end, Mikaela even shared
one from Glenrock. It was one of her own.
The group is looking for more members. Anyone with an interest in writing
or reading poetry is invited.
Meetings take place every Tuesday
at 6:30 p.m. in the library, where people
are encouraged to bring poetry to share.
Original works and favorite poems are
equally welcome.
More information can be found on the
group’s Facebook page. To find it, search

Kindergarten Round
Up draws big turnout
By Nick Balatsos
[email protected]
Dozens of families turned out
this year for Kindergarten Round
Up, where 39 students were signed
up to begin school next year.
School officials say that the
number is encouraging and could
potentially represent a slight slowdown in falling enrollment.
Since the beginning of the
school year, Glenrock’s school
district has fallen from having 684
students enrolled to 643, a decrease
of almost six percent.
The kindergarten class, meanwhile, has decreased from 44
students in August to 37 in March,
which is a far cry from the kindergarten classes that for the past
few years have hovered around
60 students.
In Wyoming, enrollment mattersw because the number of students a school district has largely

schools receives from the state.
When the numbers take a dip,
the financial need of the districts is
also determined to have decreased
and so less money is given to
schools.
While the decrease in Glenrock
might seem insignificant, it comes
at a time when the district is already looking to shave $250,000
from its budget within the next
fiscal year.
As parents filed in on March
14 for Kindergarten Round Up,
Grant Elementary Principal Wendy
Phillips said that she was encouraged by the number of kids being
registered, though she was also
cautious.
“I’m optimistic with those
numbers,” she said. “But we’ll see
what the fall brings.”
Kirk Hughes, the superintendent, was also pleased.
“I was very happy to see kindergarten numbers come in as they
did,” Hughes wrote in an email.

that Allison confessed to breaking
into and stealing items from both
homes.
Huffer’s confession came several days later. Hurd said Huffer
admitted to breaking into and stealing firearms and other items from
the Rolling Hills home. But, he
told police, he acted as the lookout
during the Second Street burglary.
Hurd said both homes were
broken into through the back and
that both homes contained safes
that were broken into the same way.
Through processing the crime
scene, Hurd said officers were able
to identify a 2000 Ford Expedition,
which belonged to Allison.
Officers contacted the Evansville Police Department to get Allison’s correct address, which they
used to obtain a search warrant.
Officers then went to Allison’s
house with the warrant, but nobody
was home, so the officers decided
to “back off and wait until (they)
could get surveillance,” said Hurd.
A day later, on March 19, an
Evansville police officer spotted

over for a traffic violation.
Hurd, Glenrock Police Sgt. Jason Hoppa and Wyoming Highway
Patrol troopers and DCI agents,
responded to the scene.
Allison was taken into custody
as part of a separate investigation
by the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation.
After, Allison was transported to
the Evansville Police Department,
where he reportedly confessed to
both burglaries.
He also told law enforcement
the location of some of the stolen
property -- a trailer park in Casper
-- where Hoppa and Hurd were able
to recover all but three firearms
that had been stolen from second
victim’s home.
Hurd and his team recovered additional firearms on March 26, one
of which was a modified shotgun
worth a few hundred dollars.
Hurd said they are still looking for
the property from the first victim’s
home, but they expect some of the
items might be in a different states.
Allison is currently being held
in the Natrona County Detention
Center on a $25,000 cash bond for
several drug charges.
He is expected to be bound over
to Converse County to face the burglary charges in the coming weeks.
After Huffer confessed to his
role in the burglaries, he was arrested and brought to Converse
County.
He appeared in court March 25
and received a $2,500 cash bond.
He faces five felony charges related to the break-ins. A preliminary
hearing is scheduled for March 31.
Hurd said the arrests underscored the best of interagency
cooperation.
“Without the combined law enforcement agency efforts, many of
these crimes would go unsolved,”
he said.
He was also proud of the teamwork his department displayed.
“I’m so proud of the officers
in Glenrock,” he said, adding that
many on his team adjusted their
hours and worked tirelessly through
the weekend to make it happen.
“That type of teamwork,” he
said, trailing off, “I could not ask
for anything better ... It makes me
proud to be a chief.”

When you walk in the room, the first thing

Not folding chairs or dining room chairs,
but recliners with attached tables.
Across from them in the center of the room
are even more chairs, facing out to those on the
wall as if someone meant for this room to host
the finals for a professional

All of these Rocky Mountain Oncology patients can relate to each other’s misery and suffering, but none of them talk about it. No one

The trouble with gratitude is it’s so terribly
difficult to portray. No words match the feelings. How can I describe it in such a way that
all of you can know how grateful I am? Not just
for the grand fund raisers and events, but the

Editorial
Academics are priority
A high-quality education is one of the most important factors in a child’s
success. But unfortunately, education is also a factor that is often overlooked
and under appreciated in favor of athletics and other programs to which we
as a society assign more value.
Now, to be clear, that is not to say that sports aren’t important — or even
that they can’t be absolutely critical — to a student’s success, but merely that
when it comes to teacher pay and just about every other societal measure,
public education often takes a backseat.
Glenrock has the opportunity to change that message.
Last school year, eight kids dropped out of high school, bringing the graduation rate down to 83 percent, the lowest in a couple years.
Superintendent Kirk Hughes told the Independent that the number represented “eight too many.” And we agree.
If larger districts can boast 90-plus percent graduation rates with a student
population that features even more at-risk students, as a small, tight-knit
community, Glenrock should be able to do the same or even better.
Although we don’t have all the resources of the larger districts, we should
be able to identify the handful of struggling students and push them through
to graduation day. Sometimes all it takes is another adult showing they care.
A couple programs exist in the district right now to help students get back
on track. Hughes said the district is going to re-examine them to make sure
they are being effective. And we think that’s the right place to start.
Going forward, let’s do everything we can to improve. Let’s be sure to
send the message that education is a top-priority in Glenrock.

The presidential race has been a study of
contradictions and hypocrisies.
At times, the logical inconsistencies presented by both candidates and their supporters
have been enough to make anyone’s head spin.
And nobody has made it this far unscathed.
Democrats. Republicans. Liberals. Conservatives. We’re all guilty.
We support Donald Trump because he’s a
scrupulous businessman
and a “nonpolitician” who
“tells it like it is.” Yet we
assign him that label in
part because of the unscrupulous business and
political deals that he touts
as evidence of “knowing
the system” — and while
knowing that he lies more

the same measure, we say
Hillary Clinton is untrustworthy partly because of her role in an email
scandal in which she used a private server to
handle her communications as Secretary of
State.
We say she is too much of a politician. And
yet we also criticize her for not being as smooth
and politically polished as her husband. She is
seen at once as too masculine and too feminine,
too hawkish and too weak, too conservative and
too liberal.
Her supporters, meanwhile, criticize Republicans for taking Super PAC money and cozying
up to big business while Hillary has done the
same thing for years.
They criticize Sanders for being an idealist
while mistakenly idealizing Hillary just because
she is a woman, as if that’s the litmus test of a
feminist.
Cruz, on the other hand, is the establishment
candidate looked up to as the establishment “outsider,” even as he has contributed substantially
to the gridlock that he rails against.
Remember: This is the same guy who stood
on the Senate floor for 21 hours, reading Dr.
Seuss’ Green Eggs and Ham, as he filibustered
the Affordable Care Act.
The whole thing is sickening, maddening and
enough to make you want to puke. But it’s not
entirely surprising.
Nothing about this election cycle has been.
Through it all, substance has taken a back
seat to fiery rhetoric. And I think the breakdown
in consistency and common sense has been a
reflection of that.
As voters, though, I think it’s high time we
demand more from our candidates. And I think
we should apply that same sort of rigor to the
reasoning behind the candidates we support or
oppose. Just a thought.

A page dedicated to the fascinating history of Wyoming
WYOMING’S HISTORIC RANCHES
Wyoming’s history is rich with stories of early-day ranches, agricultural development and operations. Below are just two of over thirty original
homestseads that eventually grew into successful ventures, earning a place in the continuing growth and development of Wyoming.
Crow Creek Ranch
T Cross Ranch
Located northwest of Cheyenne, Laramie County, Wyoming, stands the
private property known as The Crow Creek or Cole Ranch Headquarters
Historic District. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places for its
importance in agriculture and its significant architecture, the location of the
property and landscape surrounding the buildings tell the story of the ranch
from 1879 to 1972.
Sitting on the Horse Creek Watershed of the Absaroka Mountains and
bisected by Horse Creek itself is the T Cross Ranch, formerly known as
the Hermitage. Located north of Dubois in Fremont County, Wyoming, the
site is privately owned and has been used in the past as a rustic venue for
domestic, recreational, cultural and agricultural functions. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the buildings still standing on the property today stand in tribute to the craftsmanship of the men who built them
in the early 1900s.
Rancher Jesse Cole had accumulated 3,680 acres by 1904 — an average sized ranch at a time when there were approximately 570 ranches
in Laramie County, ranging in size from 1,000 to 5,000 acres. Most of the
ranches near the Crow Creek/Cole Ranch operated profitably by grazing
cattle during the warmer months and alfalfa hay in the winter. Like other
ranchers near Cheyenne during World War II, Cole added dairy cattle to
his operation to help bring in more money.
The T Cross Ranch lodge porch and extended gable
roof are typical of the ranch’s historic buildings.
(Wyoming SHPO Photo)
Ernest O. Hadden was the first homesteader on the site around 1900, but
was unsuccessful at proving up on this property and filing for homestead papers. A cabin was built on the land, and is still used today.
The Crow Creek or Cole Ranch northwest of Cheyenne
was an active cattle-grazing operation from
1879 to 1972. (Wyoming SHPO Photo)
Historic buildings on the property include a ranch house, a barn and a
bunkhouse. The first building on the property, the ranch house and headquarters, was built in 1879 and continued to serve as headquarters until
1972 when the ranch was subdivided. The stone used to construct this
building has been covered and stabilized with stucco. The two-story barn is
built into the slope of the land. The first story consists of a stone basement.
The wood-frame upper level is accessed through large doors that open at
ground level. The lower level is open to the yard on the opposite side. This
structure is unique in the way it was constructed to take advantage of the
setting to protect it from the harsh winter. The bunkhouse was built around
1880 of stone similar to the stone used for the house. The stone on the
bunkhouse is still exposed and has historic markings—initials, apparently,
and an indecipherable date.
A fenced corral was added in 1950. An outhouse, root cellar and the Gilchrist No. 1 irrigation ditch complete the landscape, according to Betsy
Bradley, author of the document nominating the site for the National Register of Historic Places. The property also includes the hay meadow, grazing
land and the bluff with more grazing land at an elevation higher than the
main buildings.
Around 1919, a naturalized German immigrant named Henry Seipt became
the next owner, homesteading around 1919. He built his first log building on
the property and designed the buildings and land to be used as a dude ranch,
according to Susan Berman and Richard McGinity, authors of the document
nominating the site for the National Register of Historic Places. Seipt named
the place “The Hermitage” and operated the dude ranch for hunting and fishing clients.
Robert S. Cox bought the property from Seipt in 1929, and expanded the dude
ranching activities and renamed it T Cross Ranch. Cox created the name by
taking the “T” for the Tau chapter of St. Anthony’s Society, to which he had
belonged at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and for St. Anthony’s
cross; thus, “T Cross.” It continues to be run as a dude ranch by the current
owners.
Seipt began a tradition of facing his cabins east to protect the doors and
porches from the harsh weather conditions, a practice Cox continued when
he bought the ranch and built more cabins. Seipt also adapted the buildings
by extending the gable roofs to protect doorways and window openings from
blowing and drifting snow. Most of the log buildings were constructed using
saddle-notch or square-notch style.
There are sixteen western-Rocky Mountain-style log buildings dating from
1919 to 1946 on the property. A system of irrigation ditches dating from the
1920s and 1930s draws water from Horse Creek and distributes it across the
ranch’s pastures.
One remarkable feature still seen on the land is an unimproved one-lane road
used as a driveway into the ranch, one half-mile of which was cleared between 1919 and 1925 by Seipt. Twelve original stone boundary markers dating from the 1926 homestead survey of the ranch site are still visible today.

Almond Stage Station after restoration
Point of Rocks is located in Sweetwater County, near Wamsutter and Rawlins. It was originally known as the Almond
Post Office, a relay point for the Ben Holladay-Overland
trail stages in 1862.
The Almond Post Office was a less-frequent stop for the
Union Pacific with the town consisting of only the post master and his family. At one time it was said that it was used as
a Pony Express stop, but the reality is that it was not even on
the Pony Express Route.
Monument of the
Almond Stage
Station located in
Point of Rocks,
Wyoming
All that remains in Point of Rocks are the remnants of the
original Almond Stage Station. Because of repeated attacks
by Indians, Holladay wished to move the stage coach line
further south. The station was constructed of local sandstone
with a sod-covered roof, which allowed it to survive at least
one major attack and attempted burning. In 1868, the stage
was converted to a stop along the transcontinental railroad
and the Overland Trail. When mining declined in the area
the station was sold and used as a private home before being
taken up by the Wyoming State Parks and restored.

On March 15, 2016, the Company submitted an application
together with testimony, exhibits and revised tariff sheets requesting authority to revise and change rates pursuant to two different
rate schedules: [i] its energy cost adjustment mechanism (ECAM)
Tariff Schedule 95, requesting approval to decrease rates by $2.7
million in deferred NPC; and [ii] its REC and SO2 revenue adjustment mechanism (RRA) Tariff Schedule 93, requesting approval to
increase rates by $50 thousand to reflect the sale of RECs and SO2
emission allowances. RMP requests that the Commission approve
the proposed decrease on an interim basis, effective May 15, 2016,
subject to further review and hearing.
Pursuant to Tariff Schedule 95, RMP proposes to recover
an approximately $12.2 million comprised of total deferred NPC
including embedded cost differential adjustments during the deferral period, deferral period interest, and residual balances from
prior ECAMs. The Company proposes to revise Tariff Schedule 95
by adding the $12.2 million to the currently effective deferred NPC
rate that is designed to collect $13.9 million from retail customers.
Notwithstanding the $12.2 million increase for the deferral period,
the $13.9 million will decrease when the Company stops collecting
amounts from prior ECAM deferrals May 14, 2016.
Pursuant to Tariff Schedule 93, the Company is proposing
to refund to customers approximately $644 thousand to account for
calendar year 2015 balancing account adjustments and 2016 forecast sales revenues for REC and SO2 products in the market. From
the currently approved $690 thousand surcredit, this results in an
overall increase of $50 thousand from current rates.
RMP is also requesting a change to the filing date and rate
effective date for future filings beginning in 2017. The current filing
date is March 15 and the request is to change it to April 15. The current rate effective date is May 15 and the request is to change it to
June 15.
This is not a complete description of RMP’s application.
Interested persons may inspect the entire application at RMP’s Wyoming offices and at the Commission’s offices in Cheyenne, Wyoming, during regular business hours. The application may also be
reviewed on line at http://www.pacificorp.com.
Anyone desiring to file a public comment, statement, protest, intervention petition or request for a public hearing in this matter must file with the Commission in writing on or before April 11,
2016. Any intervention request filed with the Commission shall set
forth the grounds of the proposed intervention or request for hearing as well as the position and the interest of the petitioner in this
proceeding.
If you wish to intervene in this matter or request a public
hearing that you will attend, or you wish to file a public comment,

Flynn asked about the audit. The report is still not prepared and
Andy will call the auditors. PUBLIC WORKS REPORT – Randy

helps financially and has taken that step. He is certain to return 10%
of last year’s budget. ITEMS FROM THE FLOOR – Sue Dills is upset that the water bills are being mailed out from a facility other than

From March 31, 1938
Milton Moffatt has been
very sick at his ranch home this

and Milton worked at the filling
station when he should have
been in bed. The result is the gritty young man has been in bed all
week under a doctor’s care.

The sidewalk project is progressing at a fine rate of speed now. The new sidewalks will
be a decided improvement to the appearance of the streets of Glenrock. With the work
being done by WPA labor the cost to property owners is relatively small and many are
taking advantage of this fine opportunity.

As a progress in the national defense measure, the local night school received a new
electric welder with which students may take a course in welding. Because of the
required number of students which have to be enrolled, each student is allowed only
15 minutes of actual welding and are supposed to watch other students for 45 minutes
each night. After the student has spent his hour at the welder he may then do any type
of shop work he cares to do.

David A. , son of Mrs. Alice Kimball of Glenrock, has been awarded the United States
Army Commendation Medal for Heroism. The citation reads as follows:“For heroism
in connection with military operations against a hostile force: Specialist Four Kimball
distinguished himself by exceptionally valorous actions on 11 January 1966 while
serving as assistant aidman during a search and mission at Ben Cat, Republic of
Vietnam. After making contact with a Viet Cong force that was well-entrenched in
dense jungle terrain, Specialist Four Kimball’s unit sustained numerous casualties.
With complete disregard for his personal safety, Specialist Four repeatedly exposed
himself to the automatic weapons fire and rendered life saving first aid to his wounded
comrades. He then assisted in the evacuation of the wounded men. The heroic actions
of Specialist Four Kimball were in keeping with the highest traditions of the military
service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.”
Officers were notified of a subject who allegedly consumed some sleeping pills in
Oregon Trail Estates. Four officers were dispatched. Following a short pursuit and a
period of tense moments of guns drawn, the rifle in the subject’s pickup was seized.
William Gustafson was arrested on a driving while under the influence charge. He was
transported by ambulance to the Douglas hospital.
A subject found a fork in the street, and he remembered something about a story in the
paper about a person who was systematically losing her cutlery to a mysterious thief.
So the fork was turned over to the police department. Two officers responded to the
woman who was featured in the “copped cutlery caper” and presented her with the a
fork --but unfortunately, it was not one of hers.

RMEF allocates funds for 13 G&F projects
Elk foundation commits $149K
The Wyoming Rocky
Mountain Elk Foundation
(RMEF) recently committed
$149,000 to the Wyoming
Game and Fish Department
to support 13 Game and Fish
led projects.
These funds will go toward
projects addressing a variety of needs including: weed
treatment, hunting and fish-
ing access, habitat improvements, perpetual easements,
wildlife friendly fencing and
irrigation improvements.
“The funding provided
from the Rocky Mountain
Elk Foundation in 2016 will
help support important habitat, research and hunting access projects throughout the
state. Many of these projects
would simply not be feasible
without RMEF funds,” said
Ian Tator, Game and Fish
statewide terrestrial habitat
manager.
For the fifth year in a row,
Wyoming’s 20 RMEF chapters represent nearly 10,000
Wyoming members combined and raise more money
than any other state. RMEF
allocated $520,000 total to
projects in Wyoming, including $40,000 from the sale of
Game and Fish Commission-
er licenses.
With the funds raised annually, RMEF frequently
supports Game and Fish initiatives like Access Yes and
habitat enhancement projects
within Wyoming. Since 1984,
RMEF has conserved or enhanced over one million acres
in Wyoming through the use
of prescribed fire, weed treatments, re-seeding, thinning,
water development and conservation and hunting easements.

ill Poniatowski never thought
he would be selected.
With all the great coaches
in the state, he just didn’t think
he had the goods for the state’s
Coaches Hall of Fame.
But his friend Walt Smith, the president of
the Wyoming Coaches Association, begged to
differ.
“C’mon, Bill, I think you qualify. Put your
paperwork in,” Poniatowski remembers Smith
prodding him.
So, somewhat reluctantly, the 62-year-old,
who recently retired after teaching and coaching Glenrock for more than 40 years, decided
to listen.
He filled out the paperwork in February and
threw his hat in the ring with others for the
Wyoming Coaches Association Middle School
Hall of Fame.
But he still didn’t think he had a shot.
He was wrong.
Poniatowski learned in March that he and
another coach from Laramie had been selected
for the Wyoming Coaches Association Middle
School Hall of Fame. The induction ceremony
will take place July 22 in Casper.
At the time he received the news, he was in
Mesquite, Nevada, for a golf tournament.
After playing the first day of the tournament,
he returned to the hotel room and checked his
email. There was a congratulations note sitting
in his inbox.
“Yeah, I got pretty excited,” he said. “I was
shocked.”
The next day his golf game was off. He said
he had a lot on his mind.
“I didn’t play very well in golf the next day,”
he said, chuckling to himself. “I kind of had
other things I was thinking about.”
He said he was drifting in thought about all
the good memories coaching over the years
and the friendships with the coaches from all
over the state.
And having been a part of the district for
some four decades, there were a lot of memories
to choose from.
Originally from
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Poniatowski moved west
to play football for
a small college in
Huron, South Dakota, a town of
about 13,000, in
the ‘70s.
Upon graduating, he said he saw
an ad for a school
job in Glenrock. It
was a title reading
teaching position. He took it, and never looked
back.
Over the years, Poniatowski coached both
middle school and high school sports. He
coached swimming, wrestling, track and football. He said some of his fondest memories
were helping coach the high school football
team to three state championships in 1977,
2002 and 2003.
But he also loved coaching the middle school
kids, which he has done for the last 20 years.

These days, though, his life has slowed
down a bit.
He said he never used to sleep in, but after
retiring in 2015, that’s something he tries to do
most mornings before he heads to the gym or to
the golf course in Buffalo, where he now lives.
Even though he is no longer coaching,
though, he still is very much a part of the Wyoming athletics community.
After retiring, he received a state Gold Card

he said he uses it often.
