Wickett named part-time school officer

By Nick BalatsosNick@glenrockind.com

When the first school bell of the year rings in Glenrock next fall, there will be a new but familiar person roaming the halls: Detec-tive Julie Wickett.

But she won’t be there because anyone is in trouble or because

there is any sort of emergency. At least, that’s the hope. Instead, Wickett will be walking the halls as Glenrock’s first school resource officer.

Wickett, a long-time officer with the department, was recently chosen to work part-time as the district’s first school resource officer.

In doing so, she will be based out of the middle school, but w i l l s p l i t her time be-tween all the schools. As part of her role, she will engage with students, talking in classrooms and building relation-ships. She will serve not only as a law enforcement officer but also

as an educator, informal counselor and emergency manager.

It’s all a part of the Glenrock Police Department’s commu-nity policing effort. The effort is somewhat of a change in polic-ing philosophy that stems from a conscious effort to bolster relation-ships with the community with the idea that improved relationships will translate to a stronger police

For the first time in his life, Ben-jamin Finch won’t be sleep-ing under the same roof as his brother, Johnathan. This fall, Ben will be heading off to col-lege at Black Hills State, his fa-

ther’s alma mater, while Johnathan will head east to the sprawling campus of Michigan State University.

He shrugs at the obvious question he has

been hearing from so many: what’s it going to be like living without your twin brother? It’s kind of hard to explain to someone who is not a twin, he muses, but it’s probably a bigger deal to others than it is to them.

“It will be weird but it won’t be bad,” he says, straightening his horned rimmed glass-es on the bridge of his nose. “We’re really good together but we’re also good apart.”

Mainly, it will be weird not to have some-one who thinks the same way he does.

Someone you can argue with while at the same time completely understanding where

the other person is coming from. Someone who knows exactly what you are thinking on the basketball court. Someone who makes doing homework easier.

Technology will make it easy for them to stay in touch, and he foresees regular phone calls and plenty of Skyping. Plus he looks forward to visiting Jonathan in Michigan and meeting all of his new friends and getting a

Chief Hurd: ‘I think it will make a massive impact in the coming years’

JULIE WICKETT

By Nick BalatsosNick@glenrockind.com

The Town of Glenrock approved during the council meeting this week the first reading of its budget for the 2016-17 fiscal year.

The anticipated budget shows revenue for the year down almost $3 million from last year, or about 30 percent, from roughly $9.8 million in 2015 to $6.7 million in 2016.

A decline in projected local sales tax revenue, stemming in large part to layoffs and limited production in the energy sector, is largely responsible for the decrease, officials say.

At the same time, expenses for the year are down about $3 million, or roughly 31 percent. They have been cut from $9.7 million last year to $6.6 million this year, with most departments taking a hit.

An amendment to the budget recently cut expenses by almost $1 million. It reduced the mayor’s and town council’s budget by $18,000; the finance department’s by $20,000; the budget for dispatch by $500,000 and town hall by $75,000.

The passed amendment also decreased the budget for community development, parks, shops and streets.

Mayor Doug Frank said that the cuts were necessary. He said they were reached after multiple public workshop meetings.

“We tried to sharpen our pencils a little bit this year because we know that are revenues are going to be down,” he said.

Frank said that the town is fortunate because its rainy day fund is larger than many communities in the state.

Council is dipping into its reserves for about $1 million this year to pay for expenses.

PoLice rePorT

By Nick Balatsosnick@douglas-budget.com

Multiple sources have told the Budget that former Douglas special education teacher Katie Marcus, who is accused of having sex with a high school student, recently received a lenient plea deal. But officials refuse to tell the public whether that’s true.

Despite that her hearing happened on May 20, almost a month ago, nothing has been filed in Converse County District Court, and the prosecutor handling the case has remained tight-lipped.

“No comment means no comment,” Chief Deputy County Attorney John Robinson, who has been handling the case, told the Budget. Robinson declined to provide his reason for withholding the information. When asked who pays his salary, he responded: “This conversation is done.” And then hung up.

The public pays Robinson roughly $104,500 a year to do his job, according to county records.

The Budget’s attorney, Bruce Moats, who has represented newspapers across the state in First Amendment and public information cases, sent a letter June 9 to County Attorney Quentin Richardson, protesting the “disturbing” ways his office has handled the Marcus case.

Moats asserted that the public has a constitu-tional right of access to court proceedings. But, he added, that right is “meaningless” without notice of court proceedings and timely filings.

“Frankly, the purposeful, or even the neglect-

ful, failure to file docu-ments in a timely manner so that public access is thwarted by the lack of notice of court proceedings stands to create a ‘loss of trust’ by the public,” he wrote.

He added, “If sentenc-ing has taken place, then the appropriate filings should be made immedi-ately. Your office owes as much to those who elected you to represent them.”

Moats told the office to make the information public by 12 p.m. on June 14.

“If the newspaper does not hear from your office by (then), we will have to proceed with the understanding that your office is standing in the way of the public being informed as to the outcome of the case,” he wrote.

However, he added,“The newspaper would much rather concentrate on informing the citi-zens of Converse County as proceedings in this and all cases work their way through its criminal justice system. The county attorney’s office failed to meet the deadline, as nothing new had been filed in the District Court’s office as of 12:15 p.m. on Tuesday.

The issue centers around the case of former Douglas special education teacher Katie Marcus, who worked for the district from fall 2007 to spring 2014 when her contract was suspended and she went to work for the Cody school

district. Marcus taught at Sunset Elementary from July 2014 until she was arrested in 2015. Prosecutors allege that Marcus approached a 17-year-old Douglas High School student in 2013 after a basketball game.

After complimenting his performance, Marcus allegedly began exchanging picture messages with him, and after some time, invited him over to do chores. When the teen arrived, the two began talking. She provided him multiple glasses of wine, they began kissing and then went to her bedroom and had sex, according to the af-fidavit. After, the teenager sent a picture message via Snapchat, a mobile app, to his friends. In it, the teenager is sitting on the bed and Marcus is allegedly posing half-naked behind him. The two had sex again a week later, according to the documents, at which point Marcus allegedly informed the teen “not to tell anyone.”

Marcus, in a recent interview with the Bud-get, called the teen a “quote unquote victim.”

Marcus’ case has been delayed multiple times. She finally appeared in District Court on May 20. Because of delayed filings and the court’s refusal to make the judge’s schedule public, the Budget did not learn of the hearing until after. Marcus originally faced two felonies for sexual abuse of a minor, but one was dropped. Going into the hearing, she faced up to 15 years in prison and $10,000 in fines. But several sources told the Budget that her consequences were much more lenient.

Marcus’ lawyer, Bill Simpson, couldn’t be reached by press time.

Lawyer to county attorney: Public has right to know

KATIE MARCUS

By Nick BalatsosNick@glenrockind.com

For the first time in a couple years, Glenrock schools next fall will see a small hike in breakfast and lunch prices.

That’s because school board members last week voted to ap-prove incremental increases to the prices kids pay at the register.

Superintendent Kirk Hughes said that the adjustments will bring the district on par with the average prices paid across the state during the 2015-16 school year.

Rather than jacking prices up to current averages, Hughes said the district lags behind partly in an effort to ease pressures on parents’ bank accounts and make sure kids are getting the food they need.

“For example, the state average for high school kids for breakfast is $1.70. Our cost was a $1.40. So we raised that 30 cents,” Hughes said.

The state average for high school student lunches, on the other hand, was $2.78. The district was charging $2.50. So prices were raised 30 cents to $2.80.

For middle school lunches, prices were raised 20 cents. Elementary school lunches were raised 30 cents. The majority of increases fell in the 20- to 30-cent range.

taste of his brother’s life.In a way, he’ll get to experience

life on two campuses, he adds.Mother Tammy is in no way sur-

prised to see her boys head off in different directions; she’d expected it given the boys’ preferences. Ben wanted a smaller campus and had always talked about going to Black Hills, where he also has family. John, on the other hand, wanted to go to a large campus farther from home.

In the meantime, she’s putting on a brave face though she gets teary-eyed when she admits to how much she’ll miss the boys.

“I’m very proud of them,” she smiles. “They’re nice boys and I’m just thrilled that they get to go where they want to go.”

She’s excited to see them get out on their own and about the new re-lationships they will build on their own and the ways in which they’ll get to share these experiences to-gether. For Ben, however, it’s not even the idea of living for the first time with his own unique identity that appeals to him most.

More than anything, he’s just looking forward to college as a break from high school where his life was kind of busy. More like exhausting. Even listening to him tick off his list of activities can make a person tired.

Depending on the season, along with playing football and basketball, cross-country and track, he was also on student council, FCLA (Fam-ily Community and Leadership in Action), national honor society and drama on top of being active in his church outside of school.

It was fun, he says, but now he’d like to focus on just being a student.

“All through high school I spent my time doing things,” he says. “I’m ready to just be a student and focus on learning.”

Right now he thinks he’ll fol-low in his parent’s footsteps, both teachers—his dad Al a recently re-tired math teacher in Glenrock, his mom a PE teacher at Kelly Walsh in Casper—and get a teaching cer-tificate in physical science and social studies.

He probably wants to teach, he thinks, but then again, he’s also pretty interested in politics.

As Ben begins to explain the dif-ferences in political parties and how much the various platforms intrigue

him, it’s clear that he has the heart of a politician and the personality to match. At once articulate and out-go-ing, Ben also admits to having very heartfelt views when it comes to ef-fecting positive change and instilling sense and compassion into the politi-cal process.

“I can talk politics all day,” he says, smiling as he crosses his legs and in his ‘stylish’ glasses (as he jokes) looking very statesman. He really wants to understand the Con-stitution and how it works, he says, crediting his former political science teacher Chase Anfinson for getting him hooked on politics in general.

“Voting and being involved is the answer to everything,” he says, ex-plaining that many people complain about the sitting president and Con-gress but don’t take the time to under-stand the process or get involved in affecting change.

Maybe he’ll run for office one day, he says. Not for president—he doesn’t want that target on his back—but he’s thinking one day he’d like to be a senator.

“We’ll see,” he laughs. “For now I just want to understand how it all works.”

Either way, he plans to get a teaching degree, so he’ll always have something to fall back on.

At 19, he is eager to explore a life outside Glenrock, the home he’s always known. Not to say he doesn’t have his reservations about leaving.

“I love Glenrock to death,” he says, crediting all the opportunities he was given and reflecting on how his past life in a tight-knit loving family and community will no doubt have a positive effect on who he is as he marches into the future. His only fear is getting too separated from this life and losing the impact it’s had on his character.

“I don’t want to get too separated or forget who I am,” he says. “I like who I am and think that growing up the way I have has made me a good person.”

For now, however, he’s looking forward to the college experience and the opportunity to spend his days learning. The trick will be sticking to that plan as he admits that it’s going to be hard to resist getting involved in too many extracurricular activities at Black Hills State.

Despite the excitement of the life that awaits this fall, he’s going to re-

ally miss his family. Though it may sound strange to most teenagers, he loves hanging out with his family.

“We all get along really well,” he laughs. “No matter what we’re do-ing it’s usually pretty fun.”

His mother, Tammy, agrees and says that’s probably what she’s go-ing to miss most this fall when the boys leave.

“I just really enjoy their com-pany,” she says, wiping back a tear, lamenting on how hard it’s going to be coming home in the evenings knowing that they’re not going to be there.

“But what are you supposed to do?” she shrugs. “You can’t lock them up in a box.”

Though admittedly she wishes she could bottle up the memories and release a dose or two whenever she starts to miss them too much. For now, however, she’s content to enjoy the rest of the summer and do some traveling as a family, starting with a trip this month to visit both campuses, traveling and enjoying their last months together under one roof.

Benjamin Finch has big aspirations after college: A teacher, and maybe even a run at the U.S. Senate.

force and safer community. “I think it will make a massive impact in the com-

ing years,” Glenrock Police Chief Tim Hurd said. Hurd previously expressed interest in applying for

a federal grant that would pay for the resource officer, but some of the stipulations of the grant were non-starters for officials because of budgetary concerns.

Namely, the grant requires gradual buy-in from the community over a period of three years. It cov-ers 75 percent of the costs the first year, 50 percent the second year and 25 percent the final year. By the fourth year, the agency would be on the hook to pick up the full tab.

Hurd said the costs for the position would have been about $20,000 the first year. He said the town council couldn’t approve a memorandum of under-standing for the grant because of the town’s financial situation.

The town’s revenue this year is down $2.9 million from last year, and consequently, expenses for the year have also been cut significantly, according to the latest reading of the 2016-17 fiscal year budget.

Hurd said that in response to the tighter budget he reorganized the police department so that Wickett would slide over and work in the schools part of the week, on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

“It’s about working smarter, not harder,” he said of the shuffling.

Next year, he said the town will readdress making the position full-time when hopefully community coffers are in a little better shape

Nonetheless, it’s a start. And he’s excited for it.“The community policing has got to start some-

where. It’s got to start with these kids,” said Hurd. “And now it is.”

Superintendent Kirk Hughes was also enthusiastic about the addition to the schools.

He said that Wickett will be an asset and was impressed with the way Hurd prioritized the school resource officer efforts and reshuffled the department to make it happen.

Officer From the Front Page

Glenrock schools have never em-ployed a resource officer. Wickett will be the first, starting next year.

Day dreams of nose rings

I remember the first day I saw a girl with a pierced nose. It was in Laramie. We had not lived there long, I was around 6 years old. Clearly, she was older than me, a college girl probably, kind and the tiniest of blue diamonds twinkled in the crease of her nose.

I instantly wanted one.I asked for one . . . I got

laughed at. When I was 15 I asked for one again. To which, my dad quickly re-sponded, “Hell no.” Keep in my mind, my father is a 29 year retiree from the Army and a rancher. So, there was no room for sparklies in my nose. I waited till I was almost 20 years old until I went ahead and got my nose pierced. I wanted to make sure I really wanted it, and as soon as I did, I wished I had gotten it pierced sooner.

Patience is not simply the ability to wait — it’s how we behave while we’re waiting. I could of rebelled and got one a lot sooner, but I didn’t want to disappoint my father; I am a daddy’s girl after all.

Nonetheless, I still remember when my dad found out about my little piercing. We were at a UW football game, he looked over, shook his head, but said, “Well, at least you waited.”

Now, a small sparkle sits in the crease of my nose whether I am in the tractor, working cattle, at the gym or helping the FFA kids. It doesn’t define me, but I don’t let it distract me either.

The world is full of magical things patiently wait-ing for our wits to grow sharper. Getting a nose ring doesn’t make you any the sharper . . . perhaps wittier however, because some people will make fun of it.

An older rancher once asked me if I was confused about who need the nose ring — me or the bull. But you laugh and come up with something to throw them off. Keep day dreaming of nose rings young girls. Know that you want them and wait till the timing (and your age) is appropriate. Until then, there is always spray glitter with a little sparkle.

Joint Justice Center (mostly) worth price tag

The age-old, usual criticisms of publicly funded construction proj-ects have reared up in recent weeks and months over the Converse County Joint Justice Center, a $33 million project underway on the west end of the old Douglas Motorsports property on W. Richards. Critics have taken to social media and coffee groups around town to toss in their dislike for spending that kind of money on a capital

construction effort when the economy is in shambles. Well, at least that’s how the naysayers see it.

The reality is the justice center has been in the works for more than a decade because it is needed in this county, and the cost – while hard to swallow at any time but especially when people are worried about jobs and declining tax revenues – is what it is. Building projects cost lots of money, and, for reasons we will wait to lambast until another day, public construction projects seem to cost more than ones being done by a private company.

Some of the criticisms we’ve heard recently attack the project as if it is going to cost the taxpayer for years to come, when the reality is the county and City of Douglas saved their pennies for years in preparation for paying for the construction up front. Yes, it is still taxpayer money, but let’s be honest about it, the taxpayers in this case were energy companies and related enterprises, not you and me on our property taxes or through an increased sales tax.

Voters, you may remember, voted down a sales tax increase to pay for the new jail and justice center a few years back. Some now say that was a repudiation of the entire project, an assertion we find hard to swallow because at the time most of the opposition was simply opposed to new taxes.

As it turns out, the economy boomed thanks to energy production, and the city and county had money rolling in. They were wise enough to save that money and earmark it for a justice center that could house the sheriff’s office, the Douglas Police Department, the Converse County Detention Center and the centralized dispatch center for emergency responders. Perhaps someday, the courts could move to that location, too, though that is a separate phase awaiting funding.

Providing for first responders and law enforcement are key mandates of any local government, but we in Converse County have long been shackled with poor communication systems that do not allow different agencies to talk to each other easily. We have far too much duplication of services in dispatch and administration between law enforcement agencies, which may be eased by having all of them in the same building.

By the time this new center opens in 2017, hopefully the critics will have come to realize what a wise decision it was and that paying for it in cash, rather than bonding and paying for it for years, is a gift we should appreciate more than ever.

––Matt Adelman

So here we are, another normal day in what has become the new normal, as yet another person has decided that it is a really intelligent idea to take a fully loaded weapon into a public place and just unleash.

This time, it’s Orlando, Florida, where an ISIS af-filiated shooter walked in and killed 49 people in a gay nightclub, for no true reason, other than revenge.

Why has this become our normal?

This is a question that many of us are asking as we seek to get some sort of answers from our so-called government that is supposed to be protecting us.

And why don’t we have stricter gun policies when it comes to people who are on the FBI’s radar as potential terrorists?

Furthermore, I’m wondering if you honestly believe that if our government restricted gun policies that there would not be some loop hole for a person with an agenda to still find a gun?

It seems to me there’s always an open door when it comes to finding a gun—or anything else illegal.

Take drugs, for example.They are illegal, but people still find and

abuse them. All in all, this fight seems point-less.

With such a tragic event, it is very hard to see how everyone jumps instantly to the gun control side.

On social media, many people are going cra-zy over this, lamenting a person’s need to own an assault weapon in general.

My reply to this is simple: it is my right to own a gun.

Just because I own this gun does not mean I am going to go take countless lives for mere pleasure. I am a gun owner and that is all.

President Obama said in a statement last week, “Today marks the most deadly shoot-ing in American history. The shooter was ap-parently armed with a handgun and a powerful assault rifle.

This massacre is therefore a further remind-er of how easy it is for someone to get their hands on a weapon that lets them shoot people in a school, or in a house of worship, or a movie theater, or in a nightclub. And we have to de-cide if that’s the kind of country we want to be.”

Do we want to live in a country like that? No, we don’t. But do we want to live in a country where our second amendment rights are slowly being stripped away in the wake of these tragic events? Absolutely not.

This is our amendment, and it belongs to we, the people.

I believe in the second amendment

I have recently lost a loved one. It has been harder than I have let on to believe, but the pain and emptiness of her absence has become more notice-able as the time passes.

She was a brave and wonderful woman. Her soul forever woven into the sunshine that radiates from the heavens, constantly mak-ing her presence known even when gone.

It was hard to say good-bye. It’s even harder to accept the fact that I will never see her beaming out the window of her dining room window at the birds again. Or I will never hear the sound of her kind voice again. Never hear her laugh. Never bake ginger snaps with her again. It’s the “never again’s” that are hard to accept. They are overbearing, more so. But you push on and continue to live because that’s how she would have wanted it.

I find her in the little things. The sun that shines, the flowers that bloom, the birds that fly. For any-one who has ever lost a loved one: look to the little things. Their soul will forever be intertwined in the hidden beauties of the real world. Find hope and re-lief in the search, for it just might give you peace of mind. Keep your eyes open and never lose sight of their never ending presence.

I wish I could go back. Hear her voice one more time. See her soul again. Hold her hand one last time. Tell her I love her.

A word of advice for those reading: don’t go through life regretting time passed. Hold on tighter. Laugh longer. Make more memories. Whatever you do, don’t just go through the motions. It’s easier said than done, but you must attempt. When it comes down to it you don’t want to leave this life with re-grets of “could have done this,”“should have done that,” or “Should have told her I love her more.”

Go hug your loved ones. Call someone that you lost contact with. It’s the little things. Don’t leave this life with regret. Be in the moment and live.

Do you have a pressing question you want to ask? Want to know why and how school va-cations dates are chosen? Or why are the street cleaners out during the day when the traffic is the heaviest? A new feature will be added to the Glenrock Independent each week beginning with the Nov. 25 issue. Ask Jen Kocher a ques-tion and she will find out the answer.

The best ones will be answered in the Inde-pendent. Send your questions to jen@douglas-budget.com

Ask Jen

The profile of County Commissioner Mike Colling in last week’s edition of the Glenrock In-dependent incorrectly stated the number of years he served in the Navy and as a police officer. Colling served four years in the Navy, 21 years as a Casper police officer and 18 years in Glenrock. The news-paper regrets the error.

Flood victims might be eligible for federal aid

By Nick BalatsosNick@glenrockind.com

The Farm Service Agency, which is part of the United States Department of Agriculture, recently reported that flash flooding had caused severe damage in Natrona and Converse counties.

Farmers and ranchers who have suf-fered severe damages might be eligible for federal financial assistance under the Emergency Conservation Program, ac-cording to the agency.

The help might include: removing de-bris from farmland, grading, shaping or re-leveling severely damaged farmland, restoring permanent fences, restoring

conservation structures and other similar installations.

However, in order to qualify for as-sistance, several conditions must be met:

• First, the damage must be so costly to rehabilitate that Federal assistance is needed to return the land to productive agricultural use;

• The damage must be “unusual” — i.e., not the type that would occur frequently in the same area;

• The damage must affect the produc-tive capacity of the farmland; and

• The damage must threaten to impair or endanger the land.

Those who qualify could receive as-sistance for up to 75 percent of the res-toration costs, the agency notes, though no producer is eligible for more than $200,000 per disaster.

Those who have suffered a loss may contact the local FSA County Office and request assistance from June 15 to August 15 at 307-261-5436, ext. 2.

To be eligible for assistance an appli-cation for cost-share assistance has to be filed; the local FSA County Committee has to conduct an inspection of the dam-aged area; and the agency responsible for technical assistance, such as the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS), has to make a “needs determination.”

sheriff’s rePorT

Between May 29 - June 4, 2016, the Converse County Sheriff ’s Of-fice responded to 245 calls:

Arrests and citations• Christopher Weiss, 43, of

Memphis, Tennessee, was issued a citation on May 29 for driving while under suspension.

• Tanner Ersch, 24, of Sher-man, Texas, received two citations on May 31 for not having brand inspection papers of health cer-tificates for the animals he was hauling.

• Jeremy Deacon, 25, of Glenrock was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol as the result of a hit-and-run crash.

• Mary Gubbels, 46, of Doug-las was sentenced by the court on June 3.

• Dave Wheeler, 33, of Mal-vern, Iowa, was arrested on June 3 for driving under the influence and possession of a controlled substance.

• Tyrel Tennant, 30, of Glenrock was arrested on June 4 for driving while under the influ-ence of alcohol.

A Celebration of Life service for Byron Eugene “Gene” Wollen, 82, will be held at 10:30 A.M. Friday, June 17, 2016, at the Glenrock Middle School Auditorium with Pastor Fred Dyer of the Trinity Baptist Church in Douglas, Wyoming officiating. Military honors will be accorded following the service. Gene Wollen died Monday, June 6, 2016, at Wyoming Medical Center in Casper, Wyoming.Gene was born Saturday, January 13, 1934, in Douglas, Wyoming the son of Byron E. and Flora L. (Boydston) Wollen. He was raised and educated in the Bill, Wyoming area, and Douglas, and graduated from Douglas High School. As a young man, he worked on various ranches, including theVR, Herman Werner, Big Lee Moore and Morton ranches. He also worked with his father at the Thunder Basin National Grasslands. He ran cattle with his father on the Wollen homestead near Bill. Gene was married to Esther May Grant on July 11, 1954, in Glenrock. In June 1955, he entered the United States Army, serving during the Korean Conflict. He was discharged in September 1958 and returned to Glenrock and continued his ranch work in Glenrock, Douglas, and Glendo, Wyoming. In the spring of 1966, he began working as a heavy equipment operator on the construction of Interstate 25 in Kaycee, Midwest and Glenrock areas, and in the fall of 1966 he began his working career at Pacific Power working at the Dave Johnston Power Plant, retiring in June 1996. In 1973, he bought a ranch on Wagonhound Creek, which he operated while still working at the power plant. He enjoyed family, rodeo, horses, shooting, reloading, leathercraft, hunting and fishing. He participated in wild horse races and bull riding competitions. He and Esther in their retirement years attended 14 Professional Bull Riding finals and enjoyed traveling. He had a special affection for his grandchildren and great grandchildren. Gene is survived by his wife, Esther, of Glenrock; children JB (Bev) Wollen of Glenrock, Lee (Cindy) Wollen of Sundance, Kathi (Andy) Henson of Douglas, Shari (Scott) Blakeley of Meadow Acres and Scott (Rhonda) Wollen of Sheridan; 13 grandchildren; and 22 great-grandchildren. Gene was preceded in death by his father, Byron, on July 17, 1965; mother, Flora, on July 15, 1975; and three sisters. Serving as honorary pallbearers will be all of his family and friends. A memorial to the Glenrock Senior Citizens’ Center, P.O. Box 783, Glenrock, Wyoming 82637 would be appreciated by the family. The Gorman Funeral Homes – Converse Chapel of Douglas, Wyoming is in charge of the arrangements.Condolences may be sent to the family at www.gormanfh.com

G&F looking for public inputThe Wyoming Game and Fish Department is holding public

meetings and has opened a comment period through July 29, 2016 on proposals to Game and Fish lands and license issuance regulations.

The Game and Fish is proposing to clarify the lands regulation by changing all references to “Private Lands/Public Wildlife” to “Access Yes.” The definition of “motor vehicle” is being expanded and the Game and Fish is proposing commercial outfitting not be permitted at the Osage Pond Public Access Area.

Comments must be received by 5 p.m. July 29, 2016. Proposed regulations are posted on the Game and Fish website.

All comments received during the comment period will be presented to the Game and Fish Commission prior to their Sept. 7-8 meeting in Kemmerer. Visit www.wgfd.wyo.gov for more information.

SPORTS BRIEFS

Baseball is back on Glenrock soil

By Phillip Harndenphillip@glenrockind.com

Gasoline was $1.44, George W. Bush was president, Department of Homeland Security didn’t exist, and you could buy an ounce of

gold for $300 the last time baseball was played on the GHS ball field.

The ball field’s hibernation ended last Wednesday as the Vipers took the field to host the Athletics.

The substantial community effort to repair the ball field to playable standards paid off with a usable field in time for the game.

Dirt specifically designed for the infield was brought in, spread and the pitcher’s mound was set to proper height.

Although the all dirt infield means very fast ground balls, the team is still happy to have a place of their own.

Coach Allen Jennings and Glenrock Recreation Director Donnie Stewart have worked hard gaining community support and monetary backing to make this dream a reality.

It seemed to pay off when the cheers of the many Viper fans that came to watch the game could be heard across the diamond and into the parking lot.

“We are here because of you,” Jen-nings told the team before the game. “It is because of you boys that all this is possible.”

Jennings is happy that there was enough interest.

about to connect with the ball for

a base hit. He (above) makes his way across home plate a few plays

later.

Glenrock linebacker Elijah Stewart flies toward the sideline during the first quarter of a 41-26 loss to the North squad at the 43rd Annual Shrine Bowl Saturday in Casper.

Best of the Best

Linebacker Elijah Stewart crashes into the line during a goal-line stand in the first half.

GHS senior Alec Arnold played in the offensive backfield and on special teams for the South team at the Shrine Bowl.

“If it weren’t for the 15 boys who signed up to play, we wouldn’t be able to do any of this,” he said.

There was much that need-ed done in a short time to have the field ready for the June 8 game. Dirt was brought in and spread as well as the lights re-

paired. The scoreboard is still not functional, or at least not being used, but the team is looking forward to their trips across home plate being re-corded in the lights for every-one to see.

The Vipers will have two more home games before they

return to Casper ball fields for the remainder of the season.

They play the Cubs at 6 p.m. on June 20 and the A’s again at 6 p.m. on June 21.

If you enjoy the sport, go support the local team as they bat, throw and run their way around the bases.

A doe mule deer near Thayne was found dead and a Wyoming Game and Fish Department em-ployee sent it to the Wildlife Health Laboratory in Laramie for testing, and it came back posi-tive for CWD. The mule deer was found near Thayne in deer hunt area 145.

West of the continental divide, a moose tested positive for CWD in Star Valley in 2008 and in 2012 three mule deer tested positive in the city limits of Green River.

“Seeing a deer test positive for CWD west of the continental divide again is concerning,” said Scott Edberg, Deputy Chief of the Wildlife Division. “We have tested thousands of deer, elk and moose

in this area and have not seen a positive for many years.

“Game and Fish will look closely at this case to see if we can gain additional information and will continue to monitor aggres-sively in the area.”

Since 2003 Game and Fish has sampled more than 2,400 animals for CWD in and adjacent to deer hunt area 145.

In the just-completed round of testing, two additional doe mule deer near Cody also tested positive for CWD.

One deer was found dead east of Wapiti in deer hunt area 111, the other was in the city limits of Cody in deer area 113 and showed signs of illness.

Wyoming fans will be able to watch the Cowboy Football team on national television when the Pokes travel to Lin-coln, Nebraska, on Sept. 10.

It was announced by the Big Ten Conference on Monday that the game will be televised on ESPN2 as part of the Big Ten television package. Kick off has been set for 10 a.m., Mountain Time from Nebraska’s Memorial Stadium.

The Cowboys and Huskers last played in 2013 in Lincoln, with Nebraska hold-ing on for a narrow, three-point (37-34)

victory over the Cowboys. Eight current Cowboys played in the 2013 meeting with the Huskers and four started the game. The four returning Cowboys who started the 2013 game include Shaun Wick, who rushed for 101 yards and scored on a six-yard touchdown run in the 2013 meeting.

Tanner Gentry started at wide receiver in ‘13 and caught two passes for 21 yards. Lucas Wacha was a starter at linebacker and made nine tackles on the day, and punter Ethan Wood averaged 52.2 yards punting on the day while not allowing a

single yard in punt returns. Four other current Cowboys also participated in the 2013 matchup. Those four are: senior linebacker Eric Nzeocha, senior place-kicker Justin Martin, senior wide receiver Jake Maulhardt and senior long snapper Brendan Turelli.

At least nine of Wyoming’s football games will be televised this coming season. The Cowboys will appear on five ESPN Network televised games and four CBS Sports Network telecasts.

Wyoming home games versus

Northern Illinois (CBSSN), Boise State (CBSSN), Utah State (ESPN Networks) and San Diego State (CBSSN) will all be televised nationally. Road games at Nebraska (ESPN2), at Eastern Michigan (CBSSN), at Colorado State (ESPN Net-works), at Nevada (ESPN Networks) and at New Mexico (ESPN Networks) will also be televised. The Cowboys’ road game at Eastern Michigan (Friday, Sept. 23) is the only non-Saturday game that Wyoming will play this coming season.

Additional telecasts by ROOT

SPORTS and the Mountain West Net-work powered by Campus Insiders will be announced at a later date. At the time those televised games are announced it is anticipated that additional game times will also be released.

Other than the Wyoming at Nebraska game, which is now set on ESPN2 at 10 a.m., M.T., other ESPN Network game times and specific outlets for ESPN Net-work games (e.g. ESPN, ESPN2, etc.) will generally be announced 12 days in advance of those specific games.

The Real Deal

It took a long time, but on June 20, 1782, Congress adopted the Great Seal of the United States. Used on offi cial U.S. documents like passports, the Great Seal has an eagle on the front with 13 arrows in one foot and an olive branch in the other and a pyramid on the back with an all-seeing eye above it.

The government had been working on the Great Seal since 1776. Several people helped with the design, including John Adams, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson.

Today, the Great Seal appears on many items. The front side with the eagle is used most often. Both sides, however, appear on the back of the one dollar bill.

Public Notice

What are Public Notices? What do you need to know about your community?

Public notices tell you.

A little notice can mean a lot.

If you haven’t looked at your newspaper’s public notice section lately, here are a few things you may have missed:

PUBLIC NOTICES ALERT YOU when the interests of your family, your neighborhood or your business are affected by what

others do. Public notices invite you to participate in the democratic process

and in business opportunities.

PUBLIC NOTICES ARE ANNOUNCEMENTS from all levels and branches of government,

from businesses and from individuals. Newspapers publish thousands of public notices every day, often in their classified

advertising sections.

PUBLIC NOTICES INFORM YOU about government actions,

environmental conditions and economic changes.

4 The restaurant at the end of your block applied for a liquor license.

4 Government agencies are buying the products your company makes.

4 A proposed tax increase is on the school board’s agenda.

4 The assets of your late aunt’s estate are being distributed.

4 Your neighbor has applied for a permit to enlarge her house.

4 The sewer authority is issuing bonds to finance a new plant.

4 Your client filed articles of incorporation with the help of

another law firm.

4 The state treasurer is holding unclaimed tax refunds.

4 Business and residential properties are going up for sale.

The Pogo Agie River formed Sinks Canyon over millions of years by erosion.

A page dedicated to the fascinating history of Wyoming

Old trading post

~ ... aNd aN (UNdERGROUNd) RIvER RUNS THROUGH IT ~Wyoming is well-known for its fascinat-ing geologic finds, and that includes a large rock formation composed of limestone partially exposed, partly hid-den deep underground, and partly ap-pearing on the subsurface in areas of Wyoming, Montana, the Dakotas and Nebraska. Called the Madison Lime-stone, it is believed to begin in Mon-tana, extending into the region of South Dakota east of the Missouri River. The limestone layer has been eroded away in the higher Black Hills around Mount Rushmore and Harney Peak but re-mains present throughout the other five states aforementioned.

Lander, Wyoming is home to a rugged canyon found at the base of the southern Wind River Mountains. Named Sinks Canyon, it is lo-cated on the eastern slope of the mountains, and named for a unique geologic formation - near the mouth of the canyon the river vanishes underground!

The canyon proper be-gins at the falls, where the Middle Fork of the Popo (pro-nounced po-po-zsha) Agie River flows over a granite escarpment in a series of cas-cades. The river flows down the widening canyon and on down into the Lander Valley, part of the larger Wind River Basin.

The Popo Agie joins the Wind River in the basin, then the Wind River flows into the Yel-lowstone, which drains into the Missouri River and ultimately the Mis-sissippi River, then the Gulf. The river begins in snow fields and alpine lakes near the Conti-nental Divide. The Wind River Mountains get enough snow to support small glaciers. Some years, the high peaks can get over 200 inches of snow. Snow and rain falls on over 190 square miles and flows into the Middle Fork watershed. The water of this river is pure since much of this area is a protected wil-derness.

Sinks Canyon is part of a magnificent ecosystem that stretches from the sagebrush and juniper covered foothills, through conifer forest, aspen,

“The Rise” is the pool where the water from “The Sinks” reap-pears. Looking in the pool, you can see the dark spots - large

meadows, and alpine habitat at timberland. An amazing diversity of birds and wildlife can be seen in this area, as well as world class geology and a dazzling variety of wildflowers and other plants.

As the first plan for Sinks Canyon State Park said: “Within the canyon walls are found unspoiled symbols of the best of Wyoming. The mountains, the riv-er, fish and wildlife; sage, wildflowers, aspen and pine trees; a rugged country of tran-quil quiet under blue skies.”

But the star of Sinks Canyon is the Popo Agie River, flowing

into the soft sedimentary rock of the Madison Limestone formation. The water flows into many cracks and fissures in the soft lime-

stone. It takes the water over 2 hours to make the journey to “The Rise,” a large calm pool, no more than 1/4 mile down the canyon. Geologists rea-son that the water takes so long because the underground passages twist, tunnel and churn under the canyon floor like a maze.

Most of the year about 100 cubic feet of water

per second flows into the sinks. During the spring run-off the Popo Agie swells to over 500 cubic feet per second. This much water flow is more than the sinks can manage in the un-derground labyrinth of tunnels. The under-ground passages can’t handle the flow and the excess spills over and runs down an overflow channel (dry most of the year) until it meets

up with the Popo Agie downstream of “The Rise.”

Scientific tests using colored dye con-firmed that the two are connected. Be-fore that, no one knew that the water at “The Rise” was the same water that disappeared into the Sink. Tests also revealed that more water emerges at “The Rise” than is originally found at the Sink, and it remains an unexplained phenomenon.

Geologists speculate that while un-derground the water circulates up and down and through many narrow, wind-ing passages and pools until it resur-faces. It was also discovered that more

water flows out at “The Rise” than goes in at the Sinks. The additional water may be coming from underground springs or other sinks formation in the area. It is unknown exactly how old the Sinks are although they are likely an Ice Age feature thousands of years old. The massive glaciers that carved the canyon exposed the soft lime-stone and the millions of gallons of water from the melting ice helped erode the underground passages. native Americans knew of the Sinks for generations. The first white men to see them were fur trappers in the early 1800s.

Entrance to The Sinks: boulders and a natural bridge.

Forty-eight miles north of Casper in Natrona County, Wyo-ming lies a ghost town of the oil boom days named for Lou-is Lavoye, a homesteader that claimed the land on which the town was located.

Lavoye was officially established at the addition of the Post Office, built in 1923. Its name was changed to the Salt Creek Post Office in 1924 and back to Lavoye in the same year.

The name of the small town switched back and forth several times before it was “discontinued” in September of 1929.

Today there is little evidence that such a town ever existed, but in the 20’s Lavoye was a shopping and entertainment center for oil field workers and their families. The entire town of Lavoye was “removed” to allow for the develop-ment of the Salt Creek Oil Field.
