the current to change direction from its previous course. The current has causes numerous boating accidents in the past three years.
River Restoration moving forward
By Sarah Hutchins
During the River Restoration meeting held on
March 16, the committee
narrowed its focus on two
priority projects: lowering
the flood stage and remediating the increased boater
bridge crashes. However,
they need public support to
get it done.
The River Restoration
meeting agenda was to discuss lowering the bedrock
and short-term fixes for the
town. The monthly meeting
had 26 people in attendance.
Jeff Streeter, project man-
ager for Platte Valley Trout
Unlimited, discussed the explicit need for further study
on the bedrock elevation.
This determines if lowering
bedrock is plausible under
sections of the North Platte
that commonly floods in Saratoga. Streeter found the most
plausible method of study
would be ground-penetrating
radar (GPR). The cost would
range from $29,000-$43,000.
In addition, the increased
boater hang-ups at the First
Street Bridge was identified as a priority. The river
current runs parallel to the
bridge due to sand bar accumulation, channelizing the
river. The proposed shortterm fix was to remove a portion of sediment around the
bridge to correct the current.

Forest Service set to decommission Public review opens
97 miles of road in Snowies
for Multi-Hazard
Mitigation Plan
By Sarah Hutchins
The Forest Service is seeking public input for the West
Side Snow Range Travel
Management Project.
The Notice of Proposed Action (NPA) legal notice was
published on March 17 in the
Rawlins Daily Times, initiating the 30-day comment
period. Within the NPA,
the purpose and need of the
project, as well as a description of the proposed action is
discussed. The purpose of the
project is to manage roads
on the Brush Creek/ Hayden
Ranger District, improving
safe access, while minimizing
the environmental impact
from recreation and travel.
Melanie Fullman, District
Ranger and responsible official of the Snowy Range
Travel Management Project, explained the reasoning
behind the actions in the
project.
“We are not mandated to
reduce, but being that the
budget does not come close
to maintaining the existing
road system in a good condition, it’s probably not too
surprising that, that’s often
what we propose because we
can’t maintain what we have.
The budget is expected to further decrease so we have to
be thoughtful and proactive
and anticipate what future
budget cuts will entail.”
Therefore, a major aspect
of the proposed action is the
decommissioning of 97 miles
of road from the West Side
Snowy Range project analysis
area.
According to Fullman, “we
focused on roads that are in
very poor condition, may not
have been ideally located to
begin with, or the type of use
has exceed what the standard
of the road was built to.”
“Given the budget constraints, do you maintain all
these little tiny segments of a
half mile of road that don’t go
anywhere? Or do you put the
money that you have into a
road system that connects and
get more bang for your buck,”
said Fullman.
In addition, under the proposed action, 82 miles of road
usually open to the public will
be converted to closed roads.
However, some of these closures are to tackle a common
public comment and safety
issue. It is proposed that
35 miles of closures will be
converted to off road vehicle
(ORV) trails.
A noted highlight of the
NPA is this addition of the
solely ORV trails, to enable
families with children under
the age of 16 to legally ride.
“ATV’s can go on most of our
existing roads, but if the roads
are open to street legal vehicles, by the state of Wyoming,
it cannot be driven by a rider
16 or younger,” said Fullman.
This will allow families to ride
in a safer environment, improving access for some.
Fullman wanted to stress
that during this time there
will need to be some give and
take. “Society requires that we
be social and civil and that we
work together; and were doing
the best we can with what we
have.”

Public comment period ends April 18
By Liz Wood
On March 17, Barb
Beck with Beck Consulting, presented the draft
of the Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan of Carbon
County (MHMP) to the
Carbon County Council
of Governments (COG).
The meeting, held in
Sinclair, was to familiarize the COG members
with what was in the
MHMP and what kinds of
hazards the county faces.
The MHMP is now
available for public review on the Carbon County Clerk’s website and the
town of Saratoga’s website, or a hard copy can be
reviewed in each of the 10
communities clerk office
or at the county clerk’s
office. The comment period for the MHMP runs
through April 18.
Over the past six
months, Beck has been
meeting with emergency responders, elected
officials and John Zeiger, the Carbon County
Emergency Management
Coordinator, to update
the existing MHMP.
The plan is organized
into 19 chapters and includes hazards which the
county may be susceptible.
The plan also describes
the rating system applied
to the hazards identified.
Hazards identified
include dam failures,
droughts, earthquakes,
floods, hail, hazardous
materials and waste,
landslides, lightening,
mine subsidence, snow
avalanches, tornadoes,
wild-land fires, wind,
windblown deposits, and
winter storms and blizzards.
The MHMP has 11
goals. Each of the 10 incorporated communities
and the county have their
own individual goals.
A total of 56 mitigation
projects were identified
in the MHMP and the Local Emergency Planning
Committee (LEPC)

Transfer station gets moved
The Upper Platte River
Solid Waste Disposal District (Landfill Board) met
for a special meeting on
Wednesday to discuss and
vote on a new site location
for the Transfer station. The
original site just North of
the recycle building became
untenable after a geotech
analysis revealed that there
were several old trash pits
in the area. This is contrary
to the old maps PMPC had
used to originally survey the
location.
The new site located due
South of the construction
pit, will have to incur some
additional costs, the largest
of which being the need to
run three-phase electric a
farther distance. PMPC is
also re-designing of the plans
to rotate the building to fit
the slope of the land and
weather direction. PMPC
engineer Craig Kopasz feels
the changes shouldn’t dramatically increase the costs
beyond the preliminary budget of approximately $1.3
million it will take to build
the transfer station.
The new site may have
some advantages over the
older one since it will have
more room for the transfer
station to expand in the
future according to Chairman Randy Raymer. “We’ve
always been a small town,
and maybe we’ll always be
a small town, but maybe we
won’t,” said Raymer.
The Landfill Board meets
again at 7 p.m. April 1, at the
Saratoga Town Hall.

Barb Beck, with Beck Consulting, updates members of COG about the MultiHazard Mitigation Plan March 17 at the Sinclair Town Hall.
Public review,
identified hazards that each
jurisdiction was vulnerable.
The LEPC then identified
projects for the jurisdiction
to address regarding the
specific hazard vulnerabilities.
Beck Consulting reviewed
other local plans and identified needs and projects in the
plans that related to hazard
mitigation and the public
and elected officials were
asked for project ideas.
Project costs were divided
into three cost categories:
low cost zero to $5,000; medium cost $5,001 to $50,000
and high cost: more than
$50,000.
The MHMP will be incorporated into the town and
city plans.
The town of Saratoga is
initiating a land use planning effort, Beck reported
continued from page 1
in the coordination chapter.
“The town has been directly
impacted by flooding disasters, is pursuing mitigation
projects independent of this
plan, and has included projects in this plan.”
Beck said the town engineer, Chuck Bartlett, who is
also the floodplain coordinator has been involved in the
preparation of the MHMP
and will ensure the consistency with the land use plan
as it is developed.
The Carbon County Management Coordinator is currently updated the Carbon
County Emergency Operations Plan and will be adding
a debris management annex.
Zeiger told COG that he
is currently working on a
Threat Hazard Identification
Risk Assessment (THIRA)
which includes identifying
risks of handmade, technological or natural hazards.
At this time, Zeiger said
he didn’t know if the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) was going
to require one assessment or
all three.
Zeiger has already been
working on a scenario involving a manmade threat based
on risks that were identified
during the floods of 2010,
2011 and 2014 when the
bridge near Fort Steele was
compromised because of high
waters.
Zeiger also told COG that
the LEPC meeting is going
to be on the third Thursday
of each month rather than
the third Wednesday as the
latter conflicted with Sinclair
Refinery’s safety meeting.
The next COG meeting is
May 20 in Saratoga.

Carbon County School District No. 2 Board of Trustees Jimmy Hinkle, left, and
KayCee Alameda work on a math challenge during the school board meeting
March 16. Alameda timed Hinkle while he counted the numbers randomly
placed on a piece of paper. The board members performed the task three
times before trading places.
Board timed in tests
By Liz Wood
Saratoga Middle/High
School math teacher Brandon Ray challenged the
Carbon County School
District No. 2 (CCSD#2)
Board of Trustees to a
math exercise March 16
to prove a point about how
math is learned by most
students.
Ray who attended a College Preparatory Math
(CPM) Education Program
in February presented a
challenge to the school
board to find chronological
numbers placed randomly
on a sheet of paper. The
board members were challenged to perform the task
three times. The board
members partnered with
each other and were timed.
Most of the board showed
improvement each time
they went through the
exercise, but their average
was modified by their first
time.
The exercise served two
purposes, how the average
of a grade may not reflect
a student’s progress and
in math and the fact that
practice improves chances
for success.
In other business, the
board authorized the advertisement of a virtual
desktop, which would allow applications and new
software to be updated
and installed uniformly
district wide.
The board approved advertising for a special education counselor and a
new position at Saratoga
Elementary School to meet
class size guidelines.
The special education
counselor position is funded by special education
grant money.
The board also considered a new district position, Director of Curriculum/Facility Manager, for
the 2015-2016 school year.
The board approved the
position based on the fact
CCSD#2 could find a suitable candidate.
Board member KayCee
Alameda had concerns
about combining the positions because she doesn’t
want one position to overshadow the other position.
Currently the board contracts for curriculum director, which is available
to the district 75 days
during the school year.
Facilities manager Larry
Hepner is planning on retiring and CCSD#2 Superintendent Jim Copeland
recommended combining
the positions.
After an executive session, the board approved
to offered contracts to the
following initial teachers
for the 2015-2016 school
year: Nila McCann, Heather Booth, Chelsea Eisenbarth, Jeffry Fuller, Teira Scott, Trista Ostrom,
Karim Bekka, Julie Davis,
Pamela Glasser, Jamie

Heather Bartlett, Jason
Williams, Kaelin Crawford, Shaleas Harrison,
Bailey Jackson, Zachary
Schmidt, Noel Shepard,
Jacob Johnston, Valerie
Rigali, James Blattman,
Lori Trevillyan, Nancy
Windholz and Steven
Priest.
The board also approved
offering a contract to Karen Patton as the district
nurse for the 2015/2016
school year and Dario Soto
as an hourly teacher.
The next regular meeting for the CCSD#2 Board
of Trustees is at 4 p.m.,
April 20 at Hanna-Elk

Budget committee sets schedule
By Liz Wood
Thursday night, the budget committee for the town
of Saratoga hashed out the
schedule for Ordinance 830,
which is the 2015/2016 fiscal
year budget.
Mayor Ed Glode said he
wanted to apply some ideas
that he had learned in Cheyenne at the Wyoming Association of Municipalities training.
One of the recommendations was to have a certified
public accountant on retainer. The town treasurer’s job
description does not include
interpreting accounting law,
Glode explained, and having
an accountant on retainer
would be advantageous to
River,
the town when there is a legal
question.
Glode said he would also
like to see a break down in the
ordinance to better identify
the difference between the
general fund and the enterprise fund and identify which
department is funded through
the enterprise funds.
The committee reviewed the
schedule to make sure enough
time is spent with each department.
The final budget is required
by law to go through three
readings before the end of
June.
The schedule set by the
committee begins on April 9
at 5:30 p.m., in the Saratoga
Town Hall.
The police department will
meet with the committee
April 9. On April 16, Public
Works minus the water and
sewer department will meet
with the budget committee.
On April 23, the budget
committee meets with the
planning commission, recreation center and recreation
board, gardening board, airport board, fire department
and town hall administration.
On April 30, the budget
committee plans to meet with
the water and sewer board.
Glode anticipates the final
budget review to be completed by May 7, 12 days before
the first reading.
owner of Hack’s tackle, was
worried about altering the
river, but recognized that
boater turnovers are a problem. Patterson referred to
2010, when he originally noticed a spike in boater crashes at the bridge. “We really
felt in 2010 that something
needed to be addressed with
number of boats that hit the
bridge,” said Patterson.
Due to a lack of funding,
the town will not be “good
to go” on the GPR, or the
partial sandbar removal this
year. There may be grant
funding available, according
to Streeter. “If we want to go
out additional years then I
can find that funding, but I
cannot find it within the parameters of funding cycles.”
It was proposed that voluntary citizen donations
could account for some of
the cost, and it would help
in terms of finding additional grant funding. Streeter
said, “If I can demonstrate
buy-in from residents, this
is huge. We can always have
that because it shows cohesion within the community,
which I think is a really good
thing”
The next meeting has been
set for 1 p.m., March 26 at
Saratoga Town Hall. There
will be continued discussion on the GPR, sand bar
removal, and voluntary citizen donations. The public is
encouraged to attend.

Opinion/Editorial
From Saratoga to ... Saratoga
I
f you have been wondering who is driving around
town with the New York
plates, you now have your
answer. I have seen some
very confused expressions. I’m
sure you don’t see many New
Yorkers around here.
I am not from the city (New
York City), or anywhere close
to it for that matter. I lived
three-and-a-half hours upstate in Saratoga, N.Y.. That’s
quite a coincidence, I know.
Trust me, I didn’t plan that.
The next question: Why
are you here? Well, when my
boyfriend found out he landed a full-time forestry gig I
thought, “Why not tag along?”
We both recently graduated
college and Wyoming is as
good a place as any to look
for work.
So we made the 2,000-mile
trek from Saratoga, N.Y. to
So yes, there are some major
differences between the two
Saratogas; but there are some
similarities. I got the chance
to check out the chariot races
earlier this month. It immediately reminded me of Saratoga, N.Y., where we also have
chariot racing, as well as one
of the largest racetracks in the
country.
Yes, it is done a little differently here, but honestly, I
never really enjoyed dressing
up in formal attire to watch
horses run around in circles.
In my opinion, you guys do it
better.
I have also felt extremely
welcome here, making it feel
more like home everyday. No
one is shy here. I am constantly approached, usually
asking if I am lost (okay that
only happened once … or
twice), then telling me about
how great this little town is
and how I will love it here.
If that’s not a warm welcome, I don’t know what is.
This is my first time living
out of New York State. I
attended the State University of New York College of
Environmental Science and
Forestry where I graduated
with a bachelor’s degree in
environmental policy, planning, & law. My experience
has led me to create a town
sustainability plan, develop
flood mitigation techniques
for New York State, review
NEPA documents, and analyze a current State Energy
Plan.
My hope is with my experience, I can help inform the
public in an unbiased manner
about current issues that you
should be aware of. It’s only
been a week of work and already I am learning so much.
I am excited to be here and
look forward to covering the
Saratoga, Wyo. region.

Saratoga, Wyo. On the final
stretch of our trip, we ran
into our first “roadblock” (no
pun intended). The road was
closed from Cheyenne to Saratoga, due to a couple inches
of snow.
It seems like that is pretty
common, which I was not
expecting.
In New York, we get snow.
I went to college in Syracuse—infamously known as
the college-town with the
highest annual snowfall in
the country. However, they
have something that you
guys don’t: salt for the roads.
You guys don’t do salt. But,
just this week I had to get
my brakes replaced because
the rotor was so rusty. So
maybe the no salt thing is for
the best.
You guys also have some
very different wildlife. I have
seen plenty of deer in my day,
but never an 8-point casually
strolling down Main Street.
On a hike in Encampment,
I observed big-horned sheep
trudging on a mountainside
and heard an unmistakable
rattling, warning me while
strolling through the brush.
That’s the usual here, so I
am told.

All over the town of Saratoga, manholes are being
painted white by the town
streets crew in preparation
for the LiDAR survey.
Once all of the conditions
are perfect for a flyover to
do the LiDAR survey, it will
be done, Craig Kopasz, with
PMPC, reported at the Saratoga Town Council meeting
March 17.
A helicopter will fly in from
Cheyenne and fly low over the
town for the survey. Thirty
days after the flyover, the
survey will be provided to
the town.
The LiDAR survey will be
used by the town of Saratoga
for updating the flood map for
the Federal Emergency Management and the Saratoga
Master Plan.
Town engineer Chuck Bartlett told the Saratoga Town
Council that street projects
will begin the bidding process the first part of May for
overlay and petromap in the
Swanson subdivision.
Bartlett said the project
will take place after the airport project is completed, at
the end of July.
Swanson subdivision includes 11th, 12th and 13th
Streets from Walnut to Elm
Avenues.
Bartlett explained using
the overlay and petromat is
cheaper than digging up and
replacing the streets.
Bartlett told the council
that the bridge over the Platte
River at First Street will be
a one-lane bridge during the
month of May while the Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) works on
the bridge.
Bartlett said he would have

21 meeting.
Jonathan Moore, the assistant clerk/treasurer, explained that residents will
be able to pay their water
bill online. Mayor Ed Glode
said the town hopes to have
the program, Municipay, up
and running by the middle
of April.
Currently, the town can take
credit cards, but there has not
been a way to pay online.
Moore said a convenience
fee, not to exceed $3 per transaction, will be charged and
residents can pay court fees,
recreation fees, water bills
and building permits using
Municipay.
Glode announced that bids
for the Master Plan will be
opened April 17 at the Saratoga Town Hall.
The next Saratoga Town
Council meeting is at 6 p.m.,

Ruth Hackett, left, is leaving the Saratoga Branch Library after 16 years. Ruth
visits with Marilyn Pedersen, the executive director of the Carbon County Library
System during a party held in Ruth’s honor Monday. Ruth will be working with
children at ExCel and HeadStart.
Librarian starts new chapter
ered a busy day. Now, 60-70
people per day is considered
a slow day.
“We have a lot more patrons,” Ruth said. On a busy
day, she sees 100 or more
people visit the library.
When Ruth started at the
library in 1999, she was a
substitute, but after three
days of training, she found
herself as the main librarian.
She worked for Vicki
Hitchcock for many years.
Vicki was the Carbon County Library Director when
Ruth started.
Back then, Ruth hand
stamped the library cards.
Now using computers it is
more efficient and she can
find books not only county
wide, but statewide, too and
is able to network with all
of the libraries in the state.
“We process a lot more
than we used to,” Ruth said.
Her favorite part of working at the library is getting
to know the patrons – knowing their likes and recommending new books to them
based on their likes.
Ruth said she is looking
forward to her new adventure and being able to spend
more time with her grandchildren.

Silk art comes to Valley
The Platte Valley got a
dose of culture when Linda Perue held a silk scarf
art class at the Saratoga
Library and Pam Kraft
held a class on silk painting at the Red Wagon in
Encampment.
Perue showed her students how to trace and
color patterns on white
silk scarves that, according to Perue, “can make
very nice, personal and
inexpensive gifts.”
Pam Kraft’s silk painting class was a little more
involved. Kraft feels silk
painting is more of a fine
art than a craft and had her

The parking lot at the
Saratoga Branch Library
was full of cars during the
noon hour Monday.
That was because after 16
years working at the Saratoga Branch of the Carbon
County Library, Ruth Hackett is moving on.
She won’t be going far,
though, as she is the new
special education aide for
the ExCel and HeadStart
preschools in Saratoga.
Ruth has seen a multitude
of changes in the library system as it has grown to meet
the technological and reading needs of the community.
When Ruth started in
1999, the library was open
20 hours a week and the
hours were not uniform
throughout the week.
In 2012, the hours increased to 36 hours with a
more uniform schedule and
Ruth became a full-time
employee.
In 1999 there was one text
computer for the public to
use, now there are five public computers, two laptops
and computers designed for
children.
The library has increased
the programs it offers with
the help of the Carbon County Library in Rawlins.
The use of the library has
increased over the years.

students first paint a pear
to teach them basic composition before they moved on
to painting on silk.
According to Kraft, the
story of how silk was discovered goes back to ancient China when “The
wife of the Yellow Emperor
was sitting beneath a mulberry tree and a cocoon
from a silk worm fell into
her cup of tea and it sat
in that hot tea. Finally,
she pulled it out with her
chopsticks and the silk
stretched into strands and
she realized that it was
very strong,” said Kraft.
Kraft’s students first
sketched their individual
designs onto tracing paper
before penciling it onto the
silk then applying a gummy and resinous material
called “resist” to turn the
lines into borders so that
they could then begin coloring.
“It’s out of my comfort
zone and something totally
different that I’ve never
done before,” said LeeAnn
Stephenson about why she
took the class.
Stephenson’s silk painting was a silhouette of
sandhill cranes flying in
front of a full moon. “Sandhills are my totem,” said
Stephenson on her choice
of subject.

Western Short film “Absaroka” ProStart brings
circles the wagons at the PVCC home awards
By H.B. Lawson
“Absaroka” is a visually rich
period piece that takes place in
the Wyoming territories in 1881.
The story follows two cowboys,
Lucius Blackledge and Howard
Prescott, who come upon a ransacked wagon on their way to
town. When they find the owner
of the wagon just before he dies
from a mortal gunshot wound,
the two cow punchers decide to
hunt down the men responsible
and save the dead man’s wife
and daughter from the ruthless
outlaws that kidnapped them.
Patrick Mignano’s film series
is named after the mountain
range in Northern Wyoming
and Southern Montana in which
much of the action takes place.
The 20-minute short-film is a
prototype of sorts for Mignano to
raise awareness, and hopefully
money, for the film series.
Mignano has a deal with the
Wyoming Public Television
Foundation to produce the series
for PBS if he can raise enough
money to make a full season of
episodes. Mignano currently has
eight episodes written for the
series; which he estimates will
cost about $150,000 each. The
expenses, according to Mignano,
are to pay for the labor, housing
and equipment it would take to
produce the hour long episodes.
“I can’t keep asking people to
work for free, and I’m broke,”
said Mignano, referring to the
$15,000 he’s personally spent
to fund “Absaroka”, which was
the 2010 Wyoming Short Film
Contest winner. Mignano took
the $25,000 grant money from

the contest and added it to the
ultimately $70,000 it would take
for him to shoot and edit both
“Absaroka” and the 40 minute
follow up titled “Absaroka: Sins”
Mignano remembers first coming up with the two main characters from the film, Blackledge
and Prescott, in a short story he
wrote in college. “I’ve had these
two main characters in my head
for a long time and I wondered
what would happen if these two
guys came down to find this ambushed wagon and peoples lives
were in danger, what would they
do?” said Mignano.
Mignano has always loved
western movies, having grown
up with Clint Eastwood and
John Wayne westerns as a kid
and teenager. “‘The Outlaw Josie
Wales’, ‘Searchers’ and ‘True
Grit’ were some of my favorites
and probably had the biggest
influence on the character of
Lucius,” said Mignano who also
plays Lucius in the film.
“Absaroka” is beautifully shot
by cinematographer Stefan
Tarzan, who has worked as a
camera operator for several
major motion pictures and
captures the breathtaking
landscape of the Wyoming
mountain ranges to make the
viewer feel as if they were actually there.
Both of the award-winning
films will be screened on Thursday at the Platte Valley Community Center starting at 6:30
p.m. for a small mixer, and the
screening at 7 p.m. Afterwards the cast and crew
will hold a question and answer
session for members of the
audience.

Cowboy madness clears streets
By H.B. Lawson
If you were driving down the
street in Saratoga on Friday
afternoon you may have noticed a distinct lack of street
traffic. That is because nearly
everyone who was able, had
their eyes glued to a televi-

p.m. to watch the University
of Wyoming Cowboys face off
against the Northern Iowa
Panthers in the NCAA tournament more popularly known
as March Madness.

The pool chalk will be flying this weekend when the
Wyoming Open Pool Tournament, sponsored by Andy
Billiard Cloth, returns to the
Saratoga starting this Friday
and continuing through to a
final redraw and live Calcutta on Saturday night at the
Platte Valley Community
Center. There are four divisions in the tournament so
that everyone has a place to
play, according to organizer Ed Glode. Sportsman is
designed for local beginners
while Classic is a step up to
include intermediate players. The Expert division was
added to provide another opportunity for non-professional skilled pool players. The
Masters division is solely for
professional players which
will include notable past
Wyoming Open sign-ups like
Rodney Morris, Raj Hundal,
Charlie Williams, Shane Van
Boening and Stevie Moore.
Newcomers to this year’s
tournament will be international billiards superstars
like Billiard Congress of

Archer, as well as Oscar
Dominguez, and Mika “The

School district still
seeking golf coach
By Liz Wood
The Saratoga Resort and
Spa (SRS) is committed to
sponsoring the golf program for
Carbon County School District
No. 2 (CCSD#2) for one more
year, CCSD#2 Superintendent
of Schools Jim Copeland told
the board of trustees at their
March 16 meeting.
The problem is the team does
not have a coach. Copeland
talked to Scott Randall, general manager at SRS and they
are willing to fulfill the needs
including paying for a coach.
CCSD#2 has advertised two
different times for a coach, but
have not had any applicants.
Without a coach for the
spring season, the program
could be in jeopardy.
“That has been the struggle,
to find someone who has the
time,” Copeland said.
The SRS made a proposal
to CCSD#2 three years ago to
sponsor a co-ed golf team and
up until this year has provided their own Golf Pro for the
program. The SRS’s initial
proposal was to sponsor the
program for four years.
at the Hotel Wolf, as well as
anywhere else that had TV
or radio to watch or listen to
the game. The Hotel Wolf set
up a big screen and projector
to show the game and offered
a pizza and nacho bar for
anyone with Pokes pride that
wanted to watch the action.
The Cowboys were able
to keep it close for the first
half of the game, but a lack
of defense and scoring in the
second half put them too far
down to come back and the
Cowboys were knocked out of
the tournament.
Despite the loss, it was a
beautiful first day of spring
and it was evident that the
residents of the Platte River
Valley were more than ready
to enjoy any and all activities
that get them out and about.

with a ninety day limit, have
never been equaled.
Certainly not in this generation, and probably not for
generations to come, will such
an opportunity be offered to
combine in one trip visits to
the scenic wonder spots of the
continent, with the education
and entertainment to be had
in the dazzling wonderland
that’s has risen on the shore
of the Pacific.
Americans who commonly
spend much of their leisure
time in European countries
will be visiting various parts
of their own country this year.
With this thought in mind,
tourist agencies throughout
the nation are anticipating
a very great increase in the
number of visitors to all attractive parts of the west this
season.

big business, there is much

effective promotional work
will necessarily benefit from

Attractive printed matter

communities which might
otherwise be overlooked by
pleasure-seekers and other

Ranchers Form
Recreation Corporation
Last week a group of Carbon county ranchers and livestock operators met to form
a recreation development
corporation. By agreement,
the landowners have leased
the recreation and trespass
right to the new corporation
called Elk Mountain Safari, Inc., which will in turn
manage and make extensive
plans for present and future
development.
Landowners participating
in the program of recreational development are Peterson
Livestock and Leo sheep Co.
of Rawlins, Palm Livestock
of Hanna and Elk Mountain,
Robt. Johnson and Sons of
Elk Mountain, and Ravenscroft Cattle Co. of Saratoga.
Purpose of the organization
is to provide recreational
opportunities on privately
owned lands for the general
public and in particular for
those interested in outdoor
sports activities. The group
concluded that this would
be the most logical method
by which it could meet the
ever increasing demand for
outdoor recreation.

has been hired as manager of the corporation. Mr.
Rasmussen said, “This can
be a milestone in landowner-sportsman relationship.
We hope that with cooperation it will it will begin
a trend away form the No
Hunting, No Fishing, and
No Trespassing signs and a
trend toward improved and
more workable recreational
opportunities of all kinds.”
Ranchers in the corporation have indicated that
through cooperation and
proper management wild
game and domestic livestock can be compatible and
not competitive. Mr. Rasmussen further pointer out
that “Just as the rancher
has always and will continue to improve his livestock
operation, through this new
organization, he will continue to improve hunting,
fishing and other recreation
connected with his land,
protect land deterioration
and preserve the natural
beauty of the land.”
The manager of the corporation said he felt that
through cooperation with
the Wyoming Game and
Fish Commission and Department, the State Land
Commission, the Bureau
of Land Management and
the Forest Service, much
can be done to sustain an
already important livestock
industry in the county, and
to promote the new and
fats growing demand for
recreation.
Present plans of the Elk
Maintain Safari, Inc., include stocking existing
fresh water private reservoirs, provide access to
and improve stream fishing
on private lands, and establish camping areas. As
improvements are made,
it is anticipated that’s a
fee will be charged for the
use of such areas. Services
such as guiding, pack trips,
boating and camping sites
will be offered for the outof-state sportsman. Special
trespass permits allowing
local residents access to the
general areas will be issued.
This permit card-type-program has become popular in
the Medicine Bow area since
it gives the local sportsman
recreational opportunities
and yet makes it possible for
the landowner to know who
the visitors are.
The landowners have reserved the right to restrict
access for short periods of
time while calving, lambing or shipping when large
numbers of livestock are
concentrated in a relative
small area.
Officers of the corporation
are Elmer Peterson, president; Francis Ravenscroft,
Gerald Palm, Robert Jonson
and Charles Vivion, vice
presidents, and Mr. Rasmussen, secretary-treasurer and
manager.
