Roughly 77,400 passen-gers flew in and out of Yellowstone Regional

Airport (YRA) on a commer-cial flight in 2018. It marked the third straight year that the Cody airport has drawn more than 77,000 passengers.

During the peak tourist season, YRA officials saw full flights and “just an incredible amount of people using the airport over the summer and even into September,” said Bucky Hall, an airport board

member.The overall number of

boardings stayed steady from 2017, dropping by only 0.5 percent. That’s despite the fact that the number of commercial flights offered at YRA fell by 2.5 percent last year — and in spite of a change in air service that was unpopular with some local travelers.

Because of limits on a fed-eral subsidy program, the Cody airport wound up having to trade its year-round service to Salt Lake City for service to

An upgrade to the Park Motel’s welcome sign proved to be a little too

flashy for the City of Powell. In response to complaints, city officials recently ordered the

motel to stop the sign’s lights from flashing.

Park Motel managers had swapped out the sign’s old light bulbs for new LEDs last August, as part of a series of improvements to the property.

Park Motel Manager Bernie Leichner said the new lights

quickly boosted business at the 18-unit motel, located on East Second Street.

“It made the whole place look welcoming and inviting,” Leichner told the Powell City Council last week.

However, some passersby didn’t appreciate the brightness

of the sign (illuminated by a couple dozen 60-watt equiva-lent LEDs) and its flashing. While the 1963 sign has always featured a kind of strobe light effect, it became much more noticeable after the brighter bulbs were installed.

“I remember driving by,

going to the pool early in the morning ... boy, you can’t ignore it,” Powell City Admin-istrator Zane Logan said, to laugher.

“No,” Leichner agreed with a chuckle. “Everybody sees it.”

The Powell Shopko is going to lose its pharmacy, as the store’s corporate owners

announced Wednesday that the chain is getting out of the phar-macy business.

However, Powell’s Shopko Hometown store itself is set to remain open — unlike dozens of Shopko locations that the company is planning to shutter across the U.S.

The changes are part of a restructuring plan that Shopko leaders hope to quickly put into place to deal with hundreds of millions of dollars in debt. The Green Bay, Wisconsin-based company filed for Chap-ter 11 bankruptcy protections Wednesday morning, generally citing poor sales numbers.

As part of its efforts to im-prove its balance sheet and bolster its business, Shopko announced the closure of 39 underperforming stores last month — including its Greybull location. Company leaders said Wednesday that they’re now planning to shut down another 38 locations, with the Thermop-olis store among those targeted. A list attached to court filings indicates that another 85 or so stores could also be targeted, including the Shopkos in Green River and Mountain View.

After serving as the as-sistant principal/activities director for 10 years, Tim

Wormald will soon take on the top leadership position at Powell High School.

Superintendent Jay Curtis is recommending that Wormald replace outgoing principal Jim Kuhn, who is retiring this

s u m m e r ; the Pow-ell school board is e x p e c t e d to officially approve the hiring at its Feb. 11 meeting.

“It is easy to assume that simply because Mr.

Wormald has been in the build-ing as assistant principal for 10 years, that he is an automatic choice,” Curtis said in an email Wednesday. “However, the hir-ing committee was very diligent in establishing a vision for what we want to see in the next prin-cipal, and Mr. Wormald happens to be an excellent fit for that position.”

Wormald said he is “absolute-ly excited and humbled.”

“I recognize the responsibil-ity that comes with being a high school principal, and that’s daunting in some ways, but at the same time, it’s really exciting,” he said Wednesday. “I feel like we’ve got the staff and students to be able to overcome just about any challenge, so I’m looking forward to continuing to move forward with these guys.”

Since he and his family moved to Powell in 2009, Wormald said the community has become “home for us.”

“I didn’t want to be anywhere else,” Wormald said. “I love Powell High School, I love Pow-ell, and my family loves it here.”

Or at the Cody Chamber of Commerce

Denver last March. A number of people in the Cody area have expressed displeasure about the switch, saying they preferred SkyWest Airlines’ service to Del-ta’s hub in Salt Lake to United’s hub in Denver.

“If I had a nickel for every one of those comments …,” Commis-sioner Jake Fulkerson remarked at the commission’s Nov. 20 meeting.

For Cody, the change in ser-vice was the cost of participating in a federal program that keeps smaller airports connected to major ones by subsidizing two flights a day.

Since 2014, Delta and United have been unwilling to serve YRA between October and May — the airport’s slower months — without government subsidies.

That’s where the U.S. De-partment of Transportation’s Essential Air Service program has come in, providing funding to keep the flights coming and going.

Several years ago, SkyWest and United split a $1.38 mil-lion annual subsidy, providing one daily flight to Denver and one flight to Salt Lake during the winter months. But United later ended that arrangement and the March 2016 to February 2018 contract went exclusively to SkyWest; for a subsidy of $938,050, the regional carrier provided two daily flights be-tween Salt Lake and Cody.

However, things changed again when the contract came up for renewal in late 2017. SkyWest said it needed a big-ger subsidy — requesting $1.32 million a year to keep flying the route — while United said it

could provide two daily flights to Denver for $850,000 — or about 45 percent less.

Despite the higher cost, local officials asked the Department of Transportation to award the contract to SkyWest and main-tain the service to Salt Lake. The Yellowstone Regional Airport board, the Cody-Yellowstone Air Improvement Resources (CYAIR) organization, the Park County Commission and the Powell and Cody mayors all wrote letters backing SkyWest, generally citing its excellent ser-vice and reliability.

Federal officials, however, were unpersuaded.

Susan McDermott, the deputy assistant secretary of aviation and international affairs, noted that SkyWest’s proposal would cost taxpayers an extra $943,000 over the two-year contract.

“The department cannot rea-sonably justify such an increase in annual subsidy when United’s proposal offers Cody passengers virtually the same service and product,” McDermott wrote.

In taking the lower bid, “The federal government did some-thing that you don’t see them do very often — they decided to act responsibly,” state Sen. Hank Coe, who has long been involved in boosting local air service, quipped at the November com-mission meeting.

Coe said United did run into some problems with some of its flights in and out of Cody last summer, but said the airline improved in the fall and is com-mitted to reliability.

“United has a renewed com-mitment,” he said, adding, “They know they’ve had prob-lems and they are making serious efforts to correct those

problems and be more respon-sible and be more on schedule and to do those things.”

The airline is also making a $1 billion investment to expand its hub area at Denver Interna-tional Airport, Coe said.

United started providing ser-vice to Cody through the Es-sential Air Service program last March, under a contract that runs through February of 2020.

At a cost of $850,000 per year, Cody-Denver is one of the cheapest routes for the federal government to subsidize.

Of the 111 communities that participate in the program out-side of Alaska, United’s service to Yellowstone Regional Airport ranks as the fourth-cheapest, according to data compiled by the Congressional Research Ser-

vice. The biggest annual subsidy is going to Presque Isle, Maine, where the Department of Trans-portation is paying United $4.78 million a year to provide service to Newark, New Jersey.

At November’s commission meeting, there was some discus-sion about whether SkyWest could be enticed to offer win-tertime service to Salt Lake, on top of the federally subsidized service to Denver.

However, airport boosters said that would likely require a $1 million commitment to Sky-West — and could jeopardize the federal subsidies.

“The [U.S.] DOT could look at it, the fact that the community of Cody has $1 million to go pay for this additional air service, [as] ‘Why do you need us, as the

DOT, to do your Essential Air Service the other eight months of the year?’” said YRA Manager Bob Hooper.

While there’s been no indica-tion that SkyWest would be will-ing to try it, Coe suggested the airline would succeed if it flew to Cody in the less busy months.

“I firmly believe that Skywest could be here in the wintertime to Salt Lake … with the two flights to Denver and still do pretty well here because of the airline loyalty that they’ve es-tablished here,” he said. “People really pay attention to that when they fly.”

Fulkerson, who’s heard com-plaints about losing the Salt Lake service, agreed.

“I believe that, just from my personal poll,” he said.

He said he has wanted to be a principal for a long time, and has learned a lot as assistant principal.

“It’s been a good training ground for me to see if I really do think I have what it takes to lead a school building,” Wormald said.

Superintendent Curtis de-scribed Wormald as someone who “leads with conviction and passion,” with a very strong mor-al and professional character.

“He is a very humble person that is very quick to point out the contributions of others, and very slow to point out his own contri-butions,” Curtis said. “Though he has been in a position of being chief disciplinarian, he has never lost focus on the inherent good in our kids, and is hungry to help propel PHS from a great school

to an excellent one.”Wormald said he’s looking

forward to his role changing a bit, adding, “maybe I won’t have to be the bad guy all the time.” As assistant principal, Wormald has been the primary person to deal with student discipline issues, along with dean of students Scott McKenzie.

“I have really enjoyed my focus with the activities and athletics side of this position, and while the discipline part of it is taxing, there’s still a lot of good that comes out of that — you see a lot of growth from students,” Wormald said. “I have appreci-ated that, but I am also looking forward to being able to focus more on being an instructional leader.”

Before moving to Powell, Wormald worked as an English teacher and assistant principal in Colorado.

Wormald said he hopes to keep moving forward with the professional learning community model at PHS. The new 4.5-day schedule allows for more collab-orative team meetings with staff on Friday afternoons, he said, while providing opportunities for interventions with students who may be struggling.

PHS also will be dealing with increasing enrollment in the next few years.

“One of the things that we’ll need to consider is trying to hire more staff to meet the needs and possibly looking at some posi-tions and restructuring them a little bit to ... try to meet needs without necessarily adding ex-penditures,” Wormald said.

While Wormald feels like he has a pretty good pulse on what’s happening at PHS, “it’s going to be a significant learning curve for me, just in terms of the depth

of some of the responsibilities that I’ll have,” he said.

In his current role, Wormald said he has learned a lot from Principal Kuhn, calling him “one of the best leaders I’ve ever worked for.”

“His patience and kindness and authenticity are really sec-ond to none,” Wormald said. “He’s a great man and a great leader — I’m going to miss him as a mentor, and plan to keep his number on speed dial here, because I’m sure I’ll have a lot of questions going forward.”

This is the second time in the past year that an assistant prin-cipal in Powell has been named a head principal. Kyle Rohrer was hired last spring as the Pow-ell Middle School principal after serving as the school’s activities director/assistant principal.

Curtis said the advantage to hiring an internal candidate is

that “as long as the person be-ing promoted is the right fit, we know exactly who and what we are getting with no surprises.”

“We also get a seamless transi-tion with the person already hav-ing worked in the school, as they already know the teachers, the system, and students,” he added.

To hire a new activities direc-tor/assistant principal, Curtis said the position will be opened to in-house candidates first, “then to external candidates if we do not have someone we feel has the necessary skill and ex-perience to be successful in that position.”

“This position has, prior to Mr. Wormald, seen a great deal of turnover, as it is a very time-intensive position,” he added. “The right fit will be crucial to ensure consistency for our system and ultimately for our students.”

Yellowstone Regional Air-port (YRA) in Cody has announced a summer

schedule, featuring a record number of commercial airline flights.

A total of 38 weekly round-trip flights to Denver, Salt Lake City and Chicago will provide the

largest amount of airline service YRA has ever experienced.

“It looks like it’s going to be a busy summer,” said airport man-ager Bob Hooper.

In the summer of 2018, YRA had 33 scheduled commercial flights a week. Through the fall and winter months, only 14 weekly flights are flying — two a day between Cody and Denver on United Airlines.

The 2019 enhanced summer schedule commences the week of May 24 with one daily flight on Delta to Salt Lake City, and an additional Salt Lake City flight on the weekends. Four daily flights to Denver on United start June 6.

United will also fly once a week Sunday mornings from Cody to Chicago, starting June 23. The incoming United flight from Chicago will arrive at YRA

on Saturday nights. The weekly service to Chicago will be main-tained until the end of Septem-ber this year, which is different from years past, recognizing the increase in tourist travel during September.

Hooper said the efforts of the local air service group, CYAIR (Cody Yellowstone Air Improve-ment Resources) were instru-mental in making additional air

service a reality.“They are the local non-profit

group charged with air service enhancement,” he said. “The air-port and CYAIR have worked ag-gressively with airline partners.”

The 15 weeks of summer Chi-cago service are made possible with a revenue guarantee pack-age of $176,000, Hooper said. The funding is a mix of locally raised and state dollars.

After receiving a “handful” of complaints, City Building Offi-cial Ben Hubbard told the Park Motel to remove the “strobe lights” in mid-December. Hub-bard said the sign violated two sections of Powell’s Municipal Code: one that prohibits signs that direct light onto a public right-of-way and another that bans flashing/blinking effects. (Time and temperature and readerboard-type signs are ex-empted from the prohibition on flashing.)

Leichner immediately shut off the sign on Dec. 17 — and she said the Park Motel’s busi-ness plummeted. From then until the council’s Jan. 7 meet-ing, only one guest checked in, she said.

“It’s really ruining the busi-ness,” Leichner told the council, asking for direction and help.

Since the sign’s flashing features are roughly 55 years old, she asked if they could be grandfathered in and exempted from the ordinances. However, Mayor John Wetzel and City At-torney Sandee Kitchen said the sign has never met city code.

Leichner suggested switching back to dimmer bulbs — of-fering to ditch the more than $300 worth of LED bulbs she’d purchased. But Councilman

Scott Mangold said he believes there’s no issue with the sign’s brightness, just with the flash-ing.

“Sometimes strobes and flashing lights do affect some people,” Mangold said, alluding to the fact that such lights can trigger seizures among those with certain types of epilepsy.

“I think that’s basically more of a health issue for some people — and of course you guys do have some neighbors over there,” Mangold said, adding later that, “If we had a whole bunch of businesses [with] all of these flashing lights, it’d be sort of a problem for us.”

Administrator Logan said by-passing the motor that causes the Park Motel’s sign to flash should be relatively simple — and even save some costs on electric-ity, which was one of Leichner’s goals in switching to LEDs.

She was agreeable to turn-ing off the flashing mechanism, sharing that she’d had a couple people refer to her business as “the seizure motel.”

“I thought, well, we can’t have that, because we don’t want anybody that has epilepsy going through a seizure because of our sign,” Leichner said.

Earlier, Councilman Steve Lensegrav quizzed Hubbard, the building official, about whether the non-flashing sign

might still run afoul of a city or-dinance prohibiting “excessive concentration of illumination.”

“Are you OK with this sign being as bright as it is, just on all the time?” Lensegrav asked. “I mean, is that too much illumina-tion?”

“I’m willing to give it a shot,” Hubbard replied. “I think giving it a try is the answer.”

He added that, “In my ex-perience here, … if we don’t get complaints, it’s probably alright.”

At the outset of her comments to the council, Leichner said the new light bulbs were part of many efforts she’s made to restore the Park Motel.

“We got rid of all the garbage that was in there and are going through and cleaning it up and painting all the rooms, putting new beds in — fixing it up to where it was years ago,” Leich-ner said.

The motel developed a poor reputation over multiple drug-related incidents in years past, but “there’s no more drugs in there. That’s all been cleaned up,” Leichner told the council, adding that she also “took out all the freeloaders.”

She said business has been improving.

“I just want to get this to be a successful motel again,” Leich-ner said.

Not all Powell property owners need to get a per-mit from the city before

growing a tree or shrub: It all depends on where you live and where you want to grow your vegetation.

The free permits are only needed if you’re planting on a city right-of-way or easement — near a street or alley. Either way, Powell City Arborist Del Barton is eager to help.

There are two ways to ensure you don’t need a permit. You can call Barton or the city’s public works director or building offi-cial to look at the measurements for your property and figure out if you need a permit to plant. The latter process isn’t that easy: “It varies from street to street,” Barton said.

You could also go down to the Powell City Parks Depart-ment and get the 70-page “City of Powell Parkway/Street Tree Planting and Establishment

Guideline” booklet, which out-lines the city’s permit process, how to select the proper tree, street planting locations, proper care and maintenance of trees, trees and shrubs outlawed in the city limits and seven pages of city ordinances concerning the planting, care and liability of trees. Barton didn’t write the ordinances, but he did write the book and is happy to explain the contents.

Barton is the city’s tree expert and said he wants to assist in any way possible to ensure your ex-perience with trees and shrubs in the city is positive.

No matter where you want to grow a tree, he said a call will save you time and money.

“That’s why the city hired me,” Barton said.

In the five years Barton has been Powell’s arborist, only about a dozen residents have ap-plied for a tree permit. Whether you need a permit or not, Barton stresses that he’s available — free of charge — to help you avoid future problems and liabil-

ity with the seedling you plant.“Most folks don’t realize how

trees affect sewage pipes and water and power lines,” Barton said. “You have to be able to vi-sualize how the tree will look in 20 years.”

His goal as the city arbor-ist is to make sure Powell has beautiful trees to provide shade and shelter well into the future. If you don’t need a permit, his advice, like most, can be taken or not.

Barton and Sandy Frost, both on the Powell Tree Advi-sory Board, and Josh Pomeroy, owner of Blue Ribbon Tree Service, will be available to-night (Thursday) to discuss a new opportunity for the city to renew its aging urban forest and to answer any questions about trees. The class is being held in combination with Powell Valley Community Education class, “Trees for my town.” The event starts at 5:30 p.m. at Room 71 in the Fagerberg Building, 231 W. 6th St., on the Northwest College campus.

Permits not required for all Powell trees

CHEYENNE (WNE) — Gov. Mark Gordon has made several additions to his Cabi-net, including naming a new director for the state Depart-ment of Health.

Gordon has tabbed Mike Ceballos, a former Wyo-ming state president for Qwest Communications In-ternational, to run one of the state’s largest departments. Ceballos ran as a Democrat for state superintendent of public instruction in 2014, losing to current Republi-can Superintendent Jillian Balow.

Ceballos will replace cur-rent Health Department

Director Tom Forslund, who announced this week he will step down at the end of this year’s legislative session.

Gordon said he picked Ce-ballos because of his experi-ence in the corporate world, dealing with a large organiza-tion, and his depth of experi-ence in the IT sector.

“These are all very impor-tant components for building out our medical capacity,” Gordon said at a Thursday news conference. “What most attracted me was his ability and interest in learning.”

Gordon also named Lynn Budd as the new head of Wy-oming’s Office of Homeland

Security, where she current-ly acts as the security unit chief. Leland Christensen, the former state legislator who ran unsuccessfully for state treasurer, was named deputy director for Home-land Security.

Several department heads will stay on in the Gordon administration. Todd Parfitt, head of Wyoming’s De-partment of Environmental Quality; Dan Noble, head of Wyoming Department of Revenue; and Doug Miyamo-to, current head of the state Department of Agriculture, will all stay in their current positions.

A man not of this worldDear Editor:

Jesus Christ was the com-plete opposite of everything this world respects, admires and gives value to. He was born and lived in lowly circumstances.

When he came into Jerusalem on a donkey, he came humbly — not like the kings of this world who put on shows of might and power.

He spent his time teaching tax collectors, prostitutes and sinners.

Money given to his ministry was used to help the poor, not to enrich themselves. Jesus just had the clothes on his back. And when the Romans crucified him, they even took those away; he even had to have his burial place donated.

Jesus never pursued having land or money or power. He had no formal education, lived homeless, was hated by the religious elite and men of the law because he spoke the truth about them. They said he was a criminal, a drunk, a glutton, a

blasphemer. Worst of all, they said he healed by the power of the devil.

He did break the law — man’s laws — like ceremo-nial washings, healing on the Sabbath, doing work on the Sabbath, stoning the adulteress. He chose mercy over keeping the letter of the law.

Jesus taught that it’s not through works but by living by the spirit — that produces good fruit (love, joy, peace, patience, self-control, faithfulness, gen-tleness, goodness, kindness). This is what we should pray for, not money, power, or material things.

Jesus teaches, no matter who you are, that you can have his free gift of eternal life and the gift of the Holy Spirit who helps and comforts us.

Love, joy, peace, patience, self-control, faithfulness, gen-tleness, goodness, and kindness — which are all gifts from Jesus Christ — are the attributes God wants his people to be known for.

The new year is off to a tragic start on Wyoming’s roads.During the first 11 days of 2019, seven people died in vehicle

crashes in Wyoming. That terrible statistic includes a head-on wreck near Cheyenne on Friday evening that claimed the lives of three people.

The high number of fatal crashes so early in the new year is rather unusual. By comparison, there had been one highway fatality in Wyoming last year at this time. Mid-January of 2017 also saw one fatality, and two had been recorded in 2016. However, those num-bers were down from the eight fatalities in January 2015, including the death of a Powell High School student on New Year’s Day.

While the factors and circumstances vary, each wreck is a som-ber reminder of how truly dangerous driving is.

As we hope for a safer 2019, it’s a good time to remember to drive carefully and pay attention every time you’re behind the wheel.

“Safe driving requires a combination of skills, dexterity, and focus,” WYDOT Director Bill Panos said in a recent news release. “Any activity that takes your attention away from the road should be avoided.”

While most drivers would be quick to agree with what Panos is saying, we are all guilty of being distracted while driving at times. It’s all too easy to look down to grab something, turn to talk with a passenger or, worse yet, pull out your phone.

Texting while driving is illegal across all of Wyoming and in Powell city limits, you can only use your cellphone in hands-free mode.

Texting while driving is especially dangerous because it com-bines three types of distracted driving: visual, manual and cogni-tive, said Wyoming Highway Patrol Col. Kebin Haller.

“When you’re texting, you are not watching the road. You’re also taking your hands off the steering wheel,” Haller said. “And, you’re also thinking about what you’re typing instead of driving.”

No text or phone call is worth your life or the lives of others on the highway. If you simply can’t wait to respond to a message or check something on your phone, pull over to a safe spot. It may only take a few seconds to look down at your phone, but in those seconds, your life could be forever changed — or even taken away.

With the inherent risks of driving, it’s especially important to teach teens how to drive safely and limit distractions. In an effort to reach more young people, Powell Valley Community Education is expanding its driver’s education courses this year — a move we’re thankful to see. As our community and state seek to provide kids with the best possible education, teaching them how to drive safely should be a top priority.

While not every accident can be prevented, many can — and common-sense things like wearing a seatbelt and never driving while intoxicated go a long way in staying safe on the highway.

After a rough start to 2019, let’s work to drive those numbers down throughout the rest of the year.

There are differing opinions on feed-ing deer, and the benefits are hotly debated.

The research about feeding deer shows a lot of different results, but most agree

the benefit of a slight increase in body weight or survival for adult deer does not outweigh the negative impacts the popula-tion experiences from feeding.

Although a diffi-cult decision in some years, feeding deer typically results in more unintended neg-ative consequences. Here is why Game

and Fish doesn’t feed deer and encourages you to not feed deer, either:

• When feeding occurs in cities or towns, it can draw more deer together. That can increase the risk of disease transmission, parasites and, in some areas, the presence of predators. Many cities across Wyoming

have adopted “no deer feeding” laws to help decrease the negative impacts of con-gregating deer within city limits.

• Feeding near cities and towns also brings animals to areas where they are

more likely to cross roadways where their risk of being struck by vehicles is greater. Deer near urban centers are also more likely to get into conflicts with pets and other domestic animals.

• Feeding large numbers of deer over entire winter ranges is not economical for Game and Fish and does not outweigh the

negative impacts of concentrating deer. Under these circumstances, there can be an increase in disease and parasite trans-mission and detrimental impacts to sur-rounding vegetation.

• Large-scale feeding (like a

feedground) can also change migration patterns, encouraging deer to remain on winter ranges longer and migrate back earlier.

• Specialized feed is required to have any benefit to mule deer. Deer cannot benefit from many food sources and can even die with a full stomach.

Wyoming does not have a state law against feeding deer; however, there are laws against hunting deer at a site where “bait” has been placed, regardless of land ownership type.

Please help wildlife by not feeding them.

It was announced the other day during an all campus meeting that Northwest

College will be spending a little over $80,000 for a new marketing campaign targeting Wyoming’s Big Horn Basin and the Western states that participate in the Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) program. In short, enrollment numbers are dwin-dling and something is needed to stop the bleeding.

Nausea started to creep in when I considered the “ele-phant in the room” and the fact that we were going to spend even more energy and money attempting to drive that square peg into the round hole that we’ve been doing for so many years.

The “square peg” that I speak of is our school’s name, “Northwest College.” The “ele-phant in the room” is the need to change our ambiguous, com-pass-dial-name to “Yellowstone College.”

Back in October, the college president sent me an email ask-ing about my rogue hashtags on Instagram, “#yellowstonecol-lege.” There was no threat in her query, just wanted to know where I was coming from. So, I replied with the following:

“It should be no surprise that I strongly believe in replac-ing ‘Northwest College’ with ‘Yellowstone College’ — if noth-ing else as a unique identifier in who we are and where we are. Short of creating a recruiting army, I think there is nothing more effective in recruiting than this simple name change — especially when it comes to attracting students from beyond Wyoming (where we have no recruiting).

Northwest College was proba-bly a good name back in the day when we were mostly charged with delivering higher educa-tion to the students of Wyoming, but as you know in these cur-rent times, we have to look far beyond our borders to maintain any kind of decent enrollment

numbers. With that in mind, ‘Northwest’ is certainly sus-pect in representing our actual place to someone who doesn’t live in Wyoming. Even in our own state, I’m surprised at how many people refer to us as ‘the college in Powell.’ That’s hardly an argument for saying we have a strong institutional name.

In my mind, the name ‘Yellowstone College’ is riper than it has ever been. And there’s no other institution that would serve that name better than this one here in Powell — only 70-plus miles from the gate of YNP.”

I sincerely applaud the new marketing plan and those who have come up with it. It’s going to be good. I just find it some-what self-defeating that we’re going to execute it for such a vague and generic name — knowing how much better the results could be if a college name change were included.

Listening to the details of the marketing plan, all I could think of was, “This is what they mean when someone mentions that old adage, ‘Work smarter, not harder.’” Promoting “Northwest College” will be the antithesis of that adage as I see it.

Sometimes the solution to a perceived difficult and complex problem turns out to be a sim-ple solution. People living near the jungles of India managed to eradicate fatal tiger attacks by simply wearing a mask on the back of their heads when in the jungle areas — a simple solu-tion proposed by a student sci-ence club member who noted that all such attacks came from behind the victims.

Following the presentation, questions and comments were invited. I sat there and gave my best rationale for not saying anything, but I couldn’t stifle it. So, I said it, “Yellowstone

College.”As I added my rationale, I

saw people like our public rela-tions vice president laughing — laughing at me, laughing at my idea, I don’t know. But he was having a good laugh. Along with the laughing from some of my colleagues I considered this: For years I’ve been part of a small political minor-ity — surrounded by die-hard Republicans and conservative thought, and yes, far outnum-bered by those who voted Donald Trump as the president

of the United States. So, this felt no dif-ferent. I was happy I brought it up, even if it was only regarded as a moment of levity for many in the room. But I’ll sleep better at night knowing I did speak up in front of the small gather-ing that was meant to be attended by the entire campus.

No doubt, the square peg rammed into the round hole will still likely result in some kind of improved enrollment numbers, but it’s a lot of money for what will likely be mediocre results. Hopefully I’m wrong. But in my mind, nothing would work harder for us (with little money and for years on end) like “Yellowstone College,” especially when it comes to attracting the larger and more remote student mar-ket.

One colleague offered up a theory on all of this — a col-league who has taught here almost as many years as myself. It goes something like this: Northwest College is the oppo-site of “too big to fail,” but rath-er too small to succeed — set in a community and managed by those who really don’t want it to be too appealing or successful. A too-attractive college brings in better students, better educa-tors and even better adminis-trators. And the community of Powell (and Wyoming) really

doesn’t want any of that at all. We may never know, but I find the theory credible until some other rationale is brought forward. I have yet to hear of any rationale that provides a solid defense for keeping “Northwest.”

Further, we still don’t have a student newspaper because when we had one, it was too _________ (fill in the blank). So “Yellowstone College” is another one of those campus conversations/stories that will never see the light of day — lost in the abyss of “no student pub-lication.”

Nevertheless, all I can do is go along with the status quo at this point and attempt to make lemonade from the lemons of the institution’s insipid name. That said, along with a few select others, we’ve been bat-ting around new slogans to go along with the new marketing roll-out … something that is more unique, more genuine than our current “Your future, our focus.” And perhaps, we’ll have a few laughs of our own along the way.

Northwest College:We’re not where you think we are.

Northwest College:Don’t tell Washington State about us.

Northwest College:The best junior college you can’t find.

Northwest College:The opposite of southeast.

Northwest College:Not too far northwest.

Northwest College:Think of us as Yellowstone College, but we’re not.

Former Park County Commissioner Tim French received permission to subdi-vide his Heart Mountain property on

Tuesday.Commissioners unanimously signed off

on the common, one-lot subdivision — but only after giving their former colleague some good-natured ribbing.

The approval of the simple subdivision will allow French and his wife, Becky, to carve a 10.57 acre parcel out of a 167-acre tract of land. If all goes according to plan, a single-family home will eventually be built on the new lot, which is currently being used for agricultural purposes.

Such subdivisions are routine, but French — who ended an 18-year run on the com-mission last month — had to endure a bit of teasing before getting his OK.

Commission Chairman Jake Fulkerson jokingly suggested that French’s voting re-

cord on past developments should be taken into consideration and Commissioner Lee Livingston dug out a stamp that carried the word, “Denied.”

“I would like to apologize for anything I’ve ever done that may have offended you,” French offered, playing along.

However, when it came down to business, the only actual question French faced was about how the lots are irrigated.

French submitted the final plat for the simple subdivision to the county in Novem-ber and the Park County Planning and Zon-ing Commission recommended approval in December.

No public comments were received and no notable issues identified by planning staff in the process.

A couple of species of noxious weeds — Canada thistle and common mullein — were found on the property during a routine in-spection by the Park County Weed and Pest District. Like other landowners, French agreed to create a long-term plan to manage

the weeds and limit their spread.The new lot will be served by Rattler

Road, which is privately owned and main-tained.

Commissioner Livingston joked that the county should turn the route into a public road and maintain it with funding from the current 1 percent sales tax — a tax that French campaigned against as a commis-sioner.

“I oppose what you recommend,” French deadpanned.

After winning the board’s approval, Fulk-erson quipped the development had just slid through. Remarked French, “You had your chance for your denial, but you blew it.”

The property is located about 12 miles west of Powell, with Rattler Road heading off from the very western end of Lane 10.

Before joining the vote to approve the subdivision, Commissioner Lloyd Thiel made a point of noting that his wife is French’s niece, but said he had no personal or financial interest in the venture.

BY TRACIE MITCHELLNorthern Wyoming Daily NewsVia Wyoming News Exchange

The Ten Sleep school board adopted their concealed carry rule with a vote of

four to one Monday evening. The board’s vote came after much discussion with com-munity members, Washakie County Sheriff Steve Rakness and Ten Sleep School attorney Scott Kolpitcke, of Powell.

Under the rule, any Washakie County School District No. 2 employee may carry a con-cealed firearm if they complete an application process with the district.

Employees generally must have worked at the district for at least 12 months, submit to mandatory drug and alco-hol testing, possess a valid concealed carry permit, pass a “psychological suitability evaluation,” complete at least 16 hours of live fire handgun training and eight hours of scenario-based training. After getting approval, the employee

must undergo a psychological evaluation every two years and complete at least 12 hours of continuing firearms training each year.

Employees allowed to carry are “expected to protect his/her life and/or the lives of others,” and shall only use their gun “if he or she reasonably perceives that his or her life, or the life or lives of others are in imminent risk of death or serious bodily injury.” The school board can take away an employee’s abil-ity to carry “at any time for any reason.”

Before approving the new concealed carry rule, the Ten Sleep board and community members heard from Kolpitcke about Wyoming Senate File 75 and the impact the bill could have on the new rule.

Concern about SF 75 — which would allow anyone with a con-cealed carry permit to enter the school with a gun — was a hot topic.

Kolpitcke told the board that, as SF 75 is currently written, it wouldn’t impact Ten Sleep’s

rule. However, “what the bill looks like between now and the end of the session is anyone’s guess,” he said.

Kolpitcke suggested it might be worth waiting to see what the Legislature does before adopt-ing a concealed carry rule. If changes are made to the bill which would cause the school to have to change their concealed carry policies, the rule-making process would have to start again, Kolpitcke said. That pro-cess takes at least 90 days.

Several community members voiced concerns about having to start the process again and asked many questions of Kol-pitcke to further understand the ramifications of starting the process over and about SF 75.

Former Ten Sleep school board member Tess Greet said the school has done a marvel-ous job of working to protect the students and said they should do everything possible to en-sure their safety. She added that allowing teachers to conceal carry — especially given that the general public could con-

ceal carry in the school if SF 75 passes — would be an extra layer of protection.

Megan Greet said that school safety is more important now than ever before.

After a brief closed session with Kolpitcke, the board re-sumed the open session and discussed how each member felt about either waiting until after the Legislative Session or proceeding.

All members of the board, with the exception of Megan Truman, said they should pro-ceed and vote on adopting the rule.

Truman said she was con-cerned that having teachers conceal and carry firearms would make the students feel less safe and might be detri-mental to the students’ ability to learn. Truman also asked that teachers and students be sur-veyed down the line to learn if the new rule created fear or a feeling of safety.

TORRINGTON (WNE) — Four Goshen County School District No. 1 employees are facing misdemeanor charges for allegedly covering up a car accident involving current GCSD Superintendent Jean Chrostoski.

Chrostoski herself has been charged with

misdemeanor counts of failure to notify law enforcement of a vehicle accident and con-spiracy to commit interference with a police officer. Last week, she filed paperwork through her attorney indicating she will plead not guilty.

Meanwhile, Loreen Fritzler and Kim Cawthra, administrative assistants in the GCSD central office, pleaded not guilty to single charges of conspiracy to interfere with a police officer on Monday. Their bond was set at $100 pending a bench trial.

Kim Flock, the district’s assistant busi-

ness manager, and Rob Flock, a elementary school teacher, also face single counts of conspiracy to interfere with a police officer. Both have pleaded not guilty.

The GCSD Board of Trustees accepted Chrostoski’s retirement during a special meeting in early December. It’s set to take effect on Feb. 1.

Chrostoski told the Casper Star-Tribune the crash and the ensuing investigation played a part in her decision to retire, but said her decision wasn’t “entirely related” to the investigation.

The Powell store, however, appears to be safe.

“We are open for business,” Shopko CEO Russ Steinhorst wrote in a letter to customers across the country. “Our con-tinuing stores are open.”

Steinhorst added in a news release that filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy was difficult but nec-essary.

“In a challeng-ing retail environ-ment, we have had to make some very tough choic-es, but we are confident that by operating a small-er and more focused store foot-print, we will be able to build a stronger Shopko that will better serve our customers, vendors, employees and other stakehold-ers through this process,” he said.

In a bankruptcy court filing, the Shopko CEO said that, like many other retail companies, the business has fallen victim to consumers shifting to online sellers.

“Retail companies like Shop-ko, with a substantial physical footprint, bear higher expenses than web-based retailers and are heavily dependent on store traffic, which has decreased sig-nificantly as consumers increas-ingly shop online rather than

in malls or shopping centers,” Steinhorst said.

On top of that, he said Shopko has struggled to compete against bigger brick-and-mortar busi-nesses like Walmart and Target, which have less debt and greater economies of scale. Steinhorst said those factors have allowed Shopko’s competitors to offer

lower prices.As for the

store’s pharma-cies, they haven’t performed as well as the com-pany expected, Steinhorst said, attributing the problem in part to higher prices charged by its primary supplier,

McKesson Corporation.“Although Shopko has been

able to reduce operating costs in its pharmacies, continually reducing costs in the face of de-clining margins has reached its limit,” Steinhorst said. “Shopko lacks purchasing scale to pur-chase drugs at costs similar to large national pharmacy chains, and has seen cost increases in excess of industry trends from ... McKesson.”

McKesson sued Shopko in a Wisconsin court last month over $67 million worth of unpaid bills and asked a judge to order Shopko to return its unsold prod-ucts. Shopko officials argued that such an order would have forced the immediate closure of

its pharmacies — and perhaps entire stores — and the judge de-clined McKesson’s request.

In recent months, Shopko sold off 82 of its 234 pharmacies. The Greybull pharmacy’s business, for instance, was sold to Basin Drug. That has left the town of Greybull without a pharmacy.

Shopko leaders now hope to sell off the assets from its re-maining 134 pharmacies — in-cluding those in Powell — by the end of next week.

If Shopko can’t find a buyer to take over its pharmacy business in Powell, local residents can still fill prescriptions at Powell Drug. Additionally, the Powell Hospital District is in the pro-cess of expanding its in-house pharmacy into a retail location. The Powell hospital is accept-ing bids on the $577,463 project through Jan. 24. Today (Thurs-day) the State Loan and Invest-ment Board will decide whether to award a grant to cover half of the cost — $288,732.

Shopko, meanwhile, hopes to completely emerge from Chap-ter 11 bankruptcy by April 15. If Shopko can’t move forward with its plan, Steinhorst said the com-pany may have to liquidate — that is, sell off — its entire chain.

As of Wednesday, Shopko had 367 stores and more than 15,000 employees across 25 states. In the Big Horn Basin, Shopko has locations in Powell and Worland, plus the soon-to-be closed stores in Greybull and Thermopolis.

‘In a challenging retail environment, we have had to make some very tough choices ...’

FOGGY MORNING

CASPER (WNE) — Fremont County authorities arrested a convicted sex offender whom Natrona County authorities say walked away from a Casper rehabilitative facility last week.

Lander police say they caught up with Cody M. Schlosser, 26, on two outstanding warrants on the afternoon of Jan. 10. Fre-mont County sheriff’s deputies

assisted with the arrest, accord-ing to a statement provided by the Lander Police Department.

Schlosser was being held in Casper Re-Entry Center as part of a sentence for 2010 convic-tions of sexual assault and kid-napping, according to a Natrona County sheriff’s spokesman.

Authorities began looking for Schlosser on Jan. 3 when he

failed to return from work. The Casper Re-Entry Center

is a privately-owned facility that provides rehabilitation and substance abuse treatment to inmates before they are re-leased. The center, which is owned by the Geo Group, oper-ates under a contract with the Wyoming Department of Cor-rections.

The Wyoming Board of Parole describes the Casper Re-Entry Center and other similar facilities as providing an “alternative to incarceration or traditional probation/parole su-pervision.” Certain residents of the facility are required to hold off-site jobs and pay rent as part of their rehabilitation, accord-ing to the parole board.

At least a dozen people have escaped from the facility each of the past three years, although those escapes typically occur when inmates do not return from work.

On Friday, Jan. 11, Georgia authorities arrested a different man — Richard Fountaine, 29 — who is suspected of climb-ing a wall and escaping from a

higher-security portion of the facility. Wyoming authorities allege that a Re-Entry Center employee, 25-year-old Kim-berly Belcher, helped with Fountaine’s getaway. The two were found about 60 miles south of Atlanta, where they were charged with burglary in con-nection with a break-in near Forsyth, Georgia.

It was a solid showing for the Powell High School wrestling team at the Jug Beck Rocky

Mountain Classic over the week-end, as the squad finished sev-enth in the 33-team event.

Reese Karst won the champi-onship at 138 pounds, only the second Panther wrestler to ever win a title at the Jug Beck in Missoula, Montana.

Three other Panthers placed at the event, with Brody Karhu

sixth at 152 pounds, Seth Horton fourth at 160 pounds and Bo Dearcorn fourth at 182 pounds.

“It was a good weekend for us — we wrestled well,” said Pan-ther head coach Nate Urbach. “We ended up seventh against some tough competition. There

were teams from Washington, a bunch of Idaho schools, bunch of Montana schools. And one Wyoming school, represented by us.”

Karst posted a 5-0 record en route to the title, four of them by pins. In the championship

match, the senior squared off against Missoula Sentinel’s Re-ece Eckley, pinning him in 51 seconds.

The other Panther to take a ti-tle at the Jug Beck? Karst’s old-er brother Chance, who finished first in 2016, also at 138 pounds. Though having two brothers win the event is impressive, Urbach said the younger Karst might have bragging rights over his sibling.

“Reese pinned his guy [in the

LOSSES TO LCCC, EWC TO START CONFERENCE PLAYBY DON COGGERTribune Sports Editor

It was a rough start to Region IX North conference play for the Northwest College men’s basketball team, as losses to Lara-

mie County Community College and Eastern Wyoming on the road have the Trappers in an 0-2 hole.

NWC opened conference play Thurs-day, Jan. 10, at LCCC and struggled to get anything going in a 75-59 loss. Saturday was a different story, as the Trappers (7-

11, 0-2) overcame a 20-point deficit against the EWC Lancers, forcing two overtimes be-fore falling 81-78.

“Obviously we would have liked to have won both games,” said NWC head coach Dawud Abdur-Rahkman. “The first game [at LCCC] it seemed like we just had nothing to give; we were a step behind

the whole way. The guys were drained, no one had any energy. It was probably one of our worst outings of the season.”

“But the second game [against EWC], we came out slow, so I really challenged the guys,” Abdur-Rahkman said. “They rose to the challenge in that one.”

The Trappers continued conference play Wednesday on the road at Western Wyoming (6-10, 0-0), and will welcome in Gillette (11-7, 0-1) Saturday at Cabre Gym. Abdur-Rahkman said the team needs to sustain its defensive effort to be competitive.

“We have lapses where defense will break down,” he said. “This is a team effort, we have to get everyone involved. We gotta get better at being locked in for the full 30 sec-onds of the shot clock. At times, that comes back to haunt us. We need to maintain a high level of intensity and effort throughout the game.”

LCCC 75, TRAPPERS 59It was a lethargic Trappers squad that

took the court against LCCC Thursday night, though NWC was able to keep it competitive early, trailing by just 26-21 at the half.

The Golden Eagles (8-10, 1-1) broke the game open in the second half, however, outscoring the Trappers 49-38 en route to a 75-59 win.

“They [LCCC] did what we expected, and I don’t know if it was a lack of understand-ing, or mental fatigue, but we couldn’t figure

Lady Trappers 0-2 to start conference playLOSSES ON ROAD TO LCCC, EWCBY DON COGGERTribune Sports Editor

The Northwest College women’s bas-ketball team opened Region IX North conference play with a pair of tough

road games last week. The Lady Trappers fell to Laramie County Community College and Eastern Wyoming College to run their overall record to 2-15 on the year.

At LCCC on Thursday, Jan. 10, the Lady Golden Eagles jumped out to a quick 29-10 lead in the first quarter and never looked back, winning 90-72. Against Eastern Wyo-ming Saturday, the Lady Trappers trailed by just two points heading into the fourth quarter, but the Lady Lancers held on to win 79-70.

“We played eight quarters, and we had one bad quarter out of the two games,” said NWC head coach Camden Levett. “Unfor-tunately, that one bit us in the butt. But we played well overall, we made a lot of great strides.”

The NWC women continued conference play Wednesday on the road against West-ern Wyoming, and will host Gillette Satur-day afternoon. Gillette is 9-8 on the season and is 2-0 in Region IX North conference play. Levett said the key for the Lady Trap-pers will be to maintain their confidence.

“I think we got a lot of momentum, even though we came up short against LCCC and Eastern,” Levett said. “We played well, and I think these girls understand that they can compete with anybody when they have the right mindset.”

LCCC 90, LADY TRAPPERS 72Northwest spotted the Lady Golden Ea-

gles a 19-point lead in the first quarter and never quite recovered,.

“That first quarter really got us,” Levett said. “For whatever reason, we just weren’t ready to go. We woke up after that first quarter and got rolling after that, but we just came up short.”

The Lady Trappers battled back in the second, outscoring LCCC 17-14 to cut the lead to 14 at the break.

The second half was a much closer contest, with LCCC outscoring the Lady Trappers by just two points, 47-45. But Northwest couldn’t make up the ground lost in the first quarter, losing 90-72.

“Against LCCC we saw 40 minutes of a zone,” Levett said. “I think that’s a credit to the way our post players have been play-ing. We had to adjust to that, and when it came down to it, we just didn’t make enough shots.”

The Powell High School boys’ swimming and div-ing team continued its

recovery from the flu bug, win-ning a home triangular Tuesday afternoon against Cody and Worland at the Powell Aquatic Center.

Panther swimmers posted an impressive 24 personal bests, many coming in “off” events, or events the athletes don’t typi-cally compete in.

Powell head coach Stephanie Warren said she was impressed with the difference in times from last weekend’s Worland Invitational and Tuesday’s tri-

angular.“The times looked so much

better from those over the week-end,” Warren said. “We’re still kind of fighting that bug, but even with that we had 24 per-sonal record times. A lot of them improved their off event times, which was very impressive.”

Powell won four individual events and two relays, led by Richard Spann’s first-place finishes in the 50 freestyle and the 100 breaststroke. Spann’s time of 24.63 in the 50 free and 1:11.12 in the 100 breast were both 3A state-qualifying times. Spann also finished first as part of the 200 individual medley re-lay team, along with teammates Francis Rogers, Josh Wright

and Joe Rogers.Jay Cox finished first in the

100 freestyle with a 3A state qualifying time of 57.69; the junior also finished first as part of the 200 freestyle relay team, with teammates Trenton Wilson, Tarren Blackmore and Riley Schiller. The 100 freestyle was packed with Panthers, with Powell claiming the first seven spots, claimed by Cox, Joe Rog-ers, Francis Rogers, Matthew Hobbs, Wright and Ben Canniz-zaro.

Blackmore was first in the 500 freestyle, posting a time of 6:24.43. Francis Rogers, Hobbs and Wilson finished fourth, fifth and sixth, respectively, in the

Karst won the 138-pound cham-pionship at last weekend’s Jug Beck Rocky Mountain Wrestling Classic in Missoula, Montana, considered one of the tough-est tournaments in the region. Compiling a 5-0 record, Karst, a senior, pinned Missoula Sentinel’s Reece Eckley in 51 seconds for the championship. The only other Powell wrestler to ever win a title at the Jug Beck was Karst’s older brother Chance in 2016.

in double figures, with Juli-ana Ribeiro, Melissa Martinez and Jenna Lohrenz netting 11 points each; Martinez and Lohrenz scored their points off the bench. In all, 11 play-ers saw action on the court for Northwest.

“I think we had very good ball movement in this game — we found the open man,” Levett said. “We just didn’t make

enough shots to win that game. But I thought Jenna [Lohrenz] and Melissa [Martinez] did really well; they’re a couple of our more consistent shooters. So when LCCC zoned us, I felt comfortable playing them ex-tended minutes. They did well for us.”

Selena Cudney chipped in nine points, to go along with five rebounds, while Berkley Larsen added eight points and seven rebounds. Shelby

Wardell, Tayler Groll and Tayla Sayer scored six points apiece, with Sayer leading the team in assists with nine.

For LCCC, Haylie Anderson led all scorers with 26 points, followed by Ja’Kia Wells with 18.

EWC 79, LADY TRAPPERS 70NWC got off to a quick

start Saturday against East-ern Wyoming, outscoring the Lady Lancers 24-19 in the first

quarter. “We came out ready to go

Saturday, we jumped on them 10-0 to start the ball game,” Le-vett said. “It was back and forth the entire game.”

The Lady Trappers came back to earth a bit in the second quarter, however, and trailed 38-34 at the half.

NWC kept it close in the final two quarters but could never quite get over the hump, as EWC held on for the 79-70 win.

“The fourth quarter they [EWC] switched to a 1-3-1 zone, which kind of got us,” Levett said. “In all honesty, that was a good team — they were 13-1 at the time we played them. It was right down to the wire.”

Northwest trailed by only four points with three minutes left and “we were right there with them,” the coach said.

Four of the Lady Trappers’ five starters scored in double figures, led by 13 points each from the freshman post duo of Cudney and Larsen. Sophomore Kaylee Brown finished with 12 points, while Sayer netted 11.

“Tayla Sayer came out and did her thing, taking care of the basketball for us,” Levett said. “Selena Cudney was great, she shot 71 percent from the field over the weekend. Berkley [Larsen] was another strong presence in the post.”

Ribeiro and Tess Henry rounded out NWC’s top scorers with eight and seven points, respectively.

“I told the team after that we can compete with anybody when we come out and play with that intensity,” Levett said.

Lady Lancer Paula Martinez Sanz led all scorers with 18 points off the bench, followed by teammates Emily Buchanan with 17 and Kelliann Raff with 11.

them out,” Abdur-Rahkman said. “That game was a disas-ter.”

Perhaps the biggest obstacle to NWC’s success was 7-foot shot blocker David Appelgren, who gave the Trappers fits un-derneath. Applegren finished the game with eight blocks and was one rebound shy of a double-double, with 13 points and nine boards.

“He [Appelgren] was just a disrupter. He had eight blocks against us and changed at least 10,” Abdur-Rahkman said. “We just continued to drive in there and not kick the ball out, and he was there. In my mind, he was the difference in the game, no question. He was a good rim protector.”

Lagio Grantsaan paced the Trappers with a double-double, netting 21 points and pulling down 17 boards. Kyle Brown was the only other Trapper in double figures, finishing with 10 points off the bench. Jason Feliz chipped in eight points, and Reme Torbert and Calvin Fugett finished with seven apiece.

Four Golden Eagles finished in double digits, led by Tyrese Potoma with 18 points.

EWC 81, TRAPPERS 78Northwest concluded its

southern tour of the state against Eastern Wyoming on Saturday, a game that appeared to be a blowout early but be-came a nail-biter late.

Down by 20 at one point, the Trappers clawed their way back into the contest, outscor-ing the Lancers (6-10, 1-0) 30-21 in the second half and forcing two overtimes. Grant-saan had a look at an open 3-pointer in the closing seconds of the second OT to force a third bonus period, but came up short, giving EWC the 81-78 win.

“I gotta hand it to our guys: They rose to the chal-lenge,” Abdur-Rahkman said of the Trappers’ comeback. “It showed a lot of heart and grit and determination, to be way down there at the end of a road trip at someone else’s gym and battle back like that.”

Kyle Brown had the hot hand for the Trappers, finishing with 17 points in addition to eight rebounds.

“Kyle [Brown] continues to play really well for us,” Abdur-Rahkman said. “The one thing I notice about him is he’s a war-rior inside; he’s a soft-spoken kid, but when things start going awry and I get on him a little bit, he rises to another level. He wants the ball in those situ-ations.”

Fugett followed with 16 points, including three shots from behind the arc, while Grantsaan just missed a dou-ble-double with 14 points and nine rebounds.

Torbert rounded out NWC’s double-digit scorers with 11 points, to go along with seven rebounds and five assists.

For the Lancers, Jonatan Arvidsson led all scorers with 20 points, followed by a double-double from Brandon Meadows with 17 points and 13 boards.

“Eastern played as hard as anyone we’ve played, they were relentless,” Abdur-Rahkman said. “What I took away from the game is we can play that hard, or harder.”


championship final], where Chance didn’t, so I think Reese is ahead,” the coach said.

At a tournament the size of the Jug Beck, Urbach said the competition is tough and expe-rienced; to win a title in a field of over 30 kids, a wrestler has to be at the top of his or her game.

“Once you get to the quarters, you’re up against kids who are multiple state placers, some-times multiple state champs, so you have to be ready to go,” Urbach said. “You have to put together four or five really good matches. For Reese [Karst] to win was a huge accomplish-ment.”

At 152 pounds, Karhu fin-ished 3-3 to place sixth.

“The thing with Brody [Karhu] is he hasn’t had a lot of practices since we’ve been back from break, so he’s a little rusty,” Urbach said. “And that’s a tough tournament to go into with a little rust on you. He should be better this next weekend.”

Still recovering from an injury that kept him out of the

Bozeman Invitational the previ-ous weekend, Karhu won a pair of decisions against Nampa, Idaho’s Caleb Leach and Ky-ler Anstrom of University High to reach the semifinals. Against Boze-man’s Chance McLane in the semis, Karhu lost his first match of the season by a 6-0 decision. In the consola-tion semis, the junior lost to Bridger Wen-zel from Pol-son, then to Caiden Hilliard from Great Falls in the fifth-place match.

At 160 pounds, Powell’s Seth Horton finished 4-2, taking fourth.

“Seth [Horton] has really been wrestling well,” Urbach said. “He’s getting better every week and with every match. That’s what we’re looking for out of him.”

Horton won his first three matches, including a major deci-sion in the quarterfinals against

Ferris’ Chris Homen 9-0. He lost in the semifinals to Bozeman’s Coy Cohenour, but rebounded in the consolation semis, de-cisioning Lewistown’s Duane Otto 7-4. Horton lost a close 5-3

decision to Mis-soula Big Sky’s Jett Rebish in the third-place match.

Bo Dearcorn posted a 4-2 record at 182 pounds, also finishing fourth for the tourna-ment.

“Bo did well, but he didn’t have a very good quarterfinal,” Urbach said. “But he really went on a tear on the back side. He did a good job and showed a lot of heart to wrestle back through.”

After losing a quarterfinal match to Nampa’s Liam Shan-non 11-5, Dearcorn won his next three matches by pin over Gar-rett Terrill (Mead), Trey Green (Superior) and Paxton Boyce (Flathead) to advance to the third-place match. In a rematch against Shannon of Nampa,

Dearcorn lost by pin.Other Panther wrestlers of

note were Colt Nicholson, who posted a 3-2 record at 103 pounds; Emma Karhu, who finished 2-2 at 113 pounds; Cole Davis, who finished 2-2 at 145 pounds; and Cameron Schmidt, who posted a 3-2 record at 170 pounds.

Riley Bennett was 1-2 at 132 pounds and Duy Hoang was 3-2 at 285 pounds.

“Everybody won a match, which I think is super-important at that level,” Urbach said. “Ev-ery wrestler had over 30 guys in their bracket, so it was competi-tive.”

The Panthers are back on the mat tonight (Thursday), host-ing a dual meet against Laurel at Panther Gym. This weekend, the team will head south to the Lander Invitational, a meet where the Panthers will get a good look at their in-state com-petition.

“The Lander meet is basi-cally a 3A state tournament, so we need to be ready for that,” Urbach said. “It’s going to be a good indicator of where we’re at against everyone else.”


‘The Lander meet is basically a 3A state tournament, so we need to be ready for that.’

Nate UrbachHead coach

100 backstroke, all in 3A quali-fying times.

“Out of our 19 kids, 17 of them had personal best times, so that was pretty exciting,” Warren said. “Hopefully the rest of them will finish healing up and we’ll have an awesome weekend in Lander. We’re making progress in the right direction.”

Weather permitting, the Pan-thers head south to the Lander Invitational this weekend. Ten teams are scheduled to com-pete, including 4A Cheyenne South and a veritable who’s-who of 3A contenders. Warren said she expects the meet to be very competitive.

“It will be nice to see some of those other teams,” she said. “Hopefully we’ll have every-body with us, and get a better idea of where we stand with ev-eryone. Getting more personal bests and qualifying times is our goal.”

With the approach of a Sanctity of Life Sunday that will be celebrated this weekend in scores of churches and

other venues around the country, we have to recognize that the status of the unborn is intensely divisive in America. As with many topics today, it is a deeply politicized issue. Central to the discussion is the welfare of women as well as that of the unborn.

Many arguments are mus-tered in favor of the viewpoints, but while the plight of women is important, the main question of any discussion has to be focused on what it is that is developing in the woman’s womb. Is it just tissue (a part of her body) or is it a human being? If it is merely tissue, then there is no reasonable ground to oppose terminating pregnancies. But if it is a human being, then no other argument can overcome the moral right to life that every human being is endowed with.

Today, the fields of science and technolo-gy are providing strong evidence supporting the notion that a new human being is formed at the instant of conception. The field of

embryology today clearly affirms that fer-tilization immediately results in a new hu-man being coming into existence, and this is stated plainly in the textbooks. The new

organism, termed a “zygote,” be-haves in ways completely different from any other cells or parts of the woman’s body.

From the time of conception, the baby has its own unique DNA. Ge-netically, it is an individual.

A baby’s heart begins to beat at around 22 days after concep-tion, pumping blood that is often a different type from the mother’s. Most women are not even aware they are pregnant at this time. Brain waves are detectable by the sixth week of pregnancy.

Recent ultrasound advance-ments reveal that infants in the womb smile, frown, crinkle their brows, suck their thumbs, stick out their tongues and clap their hands. Babies sometimes survive on birth at 23 weeks, but abortion is legal be-yond this stage. The majority of abortions are performed from the seventh to the 10th weeks.

In sum, the baby developing inside the

woman has its own DNA, often a different blood type from the mother, its own heart, its own brain, head, arms, legs, and feet. In light of these realities, how can anyone maintain that the unborn are merely tissue? That is bad thinking unsupported by the cur-rent medical facts.

Of course, what science is uncovering fits nicely with what the Bible reveals about hu-man life. Throughout the Bible, it teaches an undeniable foundation for human dignity and human rights for all people, regard-less of stage of life. In places like Job 3:3, Isaiah 49:1, Psalm 139 and Luke 1, the Bible teaches the continuity of personhood from conception to death.

God’s heart will always be for the poor, the defenseless, the helpless and the de-pendent. Pre-born children in the womb fit every one of these descriptions.

So, let’s be sure we support the mothers who find themselves in difficult and try-ing circumstances, extending to them love and the grace of God. And let’s support and protect those in the womb who can’t fend for themselves.

(David Pool is senior pastor at Grace Point.)

It seems that we are in for one of those windy, dry winters. The wind has been

relentless lately and it seems to be pushing our winter snow to other areas of the state.

Evergreens exposed to cold and strong winds will some-times have burned-looking needles. This in-jury is called winter burn. Winter burn takes place when-ever the soil freezes and wintery cold winds blow, drawing moisture from the needles. Plant roots cannot take in water from frozen soil to replace the losses in the needles. The longer these condi-tions exist, the more moisture is lost and death of leaf tissue will result.

Evergreens are vulnerable since they do not lose their needles in the winter. When trees like pines, spruce and cedar are used as windbreaks, it is common for them to get winter burn on the prevailing wind side of the tree.

The most common months for this to occur are in Janu-ary, February and March. But since this is Wyoming, it could happen most cold months.

There are products avail-able which can reduce this injury when used properly.

They are in a group of chemi-cals known as anti-dessicants or anti-transpirants; they are sold under many trade names. These products create a barrier over the pores in the leaves or needles which al-lows the plant to breathe but reduces water loss through

transpiration. These products can also be used when you want to prolong the freshness of live Christmas trees and wreaths.

Since we are hav-ing a dry winter up to this point, it is of the utmost importance to get out and water trees and shrubs once the ground thaws a little. This needs to be done at least once

a month when we have no siz-able moisture.

Another potential winter problem is firewood storage. I have heard many stories about insects coming into the house in firewood. Many are beetles, but ants, spiders and even termites can be found in firewood. As long as the wood stays in cool temperatures, there is no problem. But once wood is brought inside for more than a few hours, these insects come out of hiberna-tion.

It can be quite troubling to

see a huge spider roam across the living room floor in the middle of winter. The best bet is to keep firewood in a cool place outside under a tarp. Bring in only enough firewood

to use at one time.When the season is over, re-

move all wood from inside of the house and garage so as not to introduce termites into your home. Black widow spiders

can be found in firewood left in a garage all year. Be cau-tious and wear gloves to mini-mize exposure to this spider.

These chores and practices can eliminate problems and

with a little effort make it so you can just sit back and watch it snow. Yes, please!

BY RAMSEY SCOTTWyoming Tribune EagleVia Wyoming News Exchange

A bill to open up Wyoming to mail-in ballot elections failed to gain any traction against a

headwind of concerns about voter fraud and uninformed voters having an easier time participating in the system.

House Bill 36 would have allowed county commissioners to choose to run state and federal elections through a mail-in ballot system. It failed on a 4-3 vote Thursday in the House Corporations, Elections and Political Subdivisions Com-mittee, with Reps. Aaron Clausen, R-Douglas; Dan Furphy, R-Laramie; and Chairman Tyler Lindholm, R-Sundance, voting in favor. Two

freshman members were excused from the meeting and didn’t enter a proxy vote.

The effort to get a bill before the Legislature was spearheaded by the Wyoming County Clerks Association due to the looming high cost of re-placing election equipment and the difficulty in hiring election judges across the state. However, there’s been resistance to the idea — includ-ing from the Park County Republican Party, which passed a resolution op-posing mail-in ballots last year.

Horror stories in the news made some lawmakers balk. Rep. Roy Edwards, R-Gillette, mentioned is-sues with signature verification in Broward County, Florida, dur-ing the 2018 election, and worried Wyoming would open itself up to lawsuits, along with major potential

for voter fraud. (In the states that have moved to all

mail-in ballot elections — Colorado, Washington and Oregon — there have been few recorded instances of voter fraud.)

Rep. Scott Clem, R-Gillette, said mail-in ballot elections would lower the bar for voting, and he wanted to require voters to take the initiative to participate.

“On the one hand, you may get more voter participation [with mail-in ballots]. On the other hand, who is participating? Is it people that don’t know anything about anything and aren’t responsible voters to begin with?” Clem said. “Along with the right of voting comes the responsi-bility of studying the candidates and knowing who you’re going to vote for, and actually doing something your-

self and taking the initiatives. This limits the initiative because every-thing is done for you.”

Chris Merrill, executive director of the Equality State Policy Center, which supported the bill, said al-lowing voters more time with the ballot in their hand made for more informed voters.

“Not only is the implication of [Clem’s] comment offensive and un-democratic, it’s also completely wrong,” Merrill said. “Mail ballots would also help elderly voters, people who work long hours and/or multiple jobs, people who are in poor health or who must rely on others for trans-portation, people who have trouble getting around, [and] health-care and emergency workers, who regularly work unpredictable hours.”

Lindholm tried to sway committee

members to support the bill, to no avail. He cited statistics that showed one of the biggest demographic seg-ments to benefit from mail-in ballots was older white conservatives, who participated in elections at a signifi-cantly higher rate than without that option.

Carbon County Clerk Gwynn Bartlett said she and the other county clerks would work hard to educate lawmakers and citizens about the benefits of mail-in ballot elections and the safety built into the system.

One point she made during her presentation to the committee is that about 30 percent of votes cast in 2018 were made with an absentee ballot. A mail-in ballot system would put in a higher level of security, including verifying a voter signature on every ballot.
