Putting the
pieces together
In Brief
Forest fire ban
lifted
Main Street
plans take a
step forward
with Central
Office
demolition
funding
The special order put in

place on July 5 prohibiting use of open fire on all
National Forest System lands
administered by the Black
Hills National Forest within
the State of Wyoming has
been terminated. Due to
cooler temperatures and
increased moisture, Black
Hills National Forest Supervisor Mark Van Every signed
the termination notice
removing the special order.
Bearlodge District Ranger
Steve Kozel thanks visitors
for complying with the order
and reminds people that
although falls arrival has
lessened the fire hazard,
conditions are still dry. Forest
visitors should continue to
practice safe fire use to protect the forest and provide
for public safety.
Wyoming fires
impacting
hunts
According to Wyoming
Game & Fish, deer and elk
hunters who were planning
to head to the south central
portion of the Sierra Madre
Range (Baggs elk hunt area
21 and Baggs mule deer
hunt area 82) should be
aware that the Snake Fire
burning two miles north of
the state line may affect
hunting and other recreation. The fire blew up over
the weekend to 2350 acres
and is not expected to be
doused any time soon. We
know this wildfire will affect
many of our deer and elk
hunters, Tony Mong, Baggs
Wildlife Biologist, said. Quite
a few people hunt in this
area and we want to give
these hunters a heads-up, so
that they have time to find
other areas to scout and
hunt for their game. If you
are planning on hunting is
these areas, specifically east
of Forest Road 851.1, you will
need to make other plans.

Tax gains or
public use?
BY SARAH PRIDGEON
Though the School Facilities
Commission is unwilling to
cover the cost of tearing down
Central Office, Clerk Treasurer
Kathy Lenz and Superintendent
Mark Broderson have been able
to secure funding through a different avenue.
Mark Broderson and I met
in front of School Facilities and
they did not award any funds
to tear down Central Office,
said Lenz to the city council
last week.
The next [step] was to go to
the Select Committee to get it
included in the bill to be in the
budget.
The move was successful for a
very specific reason, said Mayor
Paul Brooks.
We wouldnt have got this
money at all except, because
Wyoming is on hard times, the
governor rejected School Facilities budget, which allowed [us]
the opportunity to get in there
and ask them, he explained.
The committee granted around
$350,000 of the requested
$750,000. However, Lenz has
high hopes that funding will
be awarded to cover the full
cost once the city has firmer
numbers to present to the committee.
They were all for it, they were
so excited. It worked out pretty
well because most of the Select
Committee were the people we
testified in front of to close our
landfill, she said.
When those people asked
what she was doing there,
Lenz said, she explained she
had an offer to save the state
$1 million by tearing the building down now and putting the
refuse in the city landfill before
it closes.
They said, we love doing
projects like this where its actually benefiting more entities
than the State of Wyoming.
Even though the motion was

at $350,000, Im confident that
when we go back with our hard
numbers theyll say, fine, heres
the rest of it, because you dont
want to be left with half a building, Lenz told the council.
Central Office is expected to
be demolished once the districts administrative staff has
completed the move to the old
elementary school. This is expected to happen in the near
future, according to Broderson,
as the district would prefer not
to pay the heating bill on two
buildings over the winter and
leaving the condemned building to deteriorate is the more
logical option.
Ownership of the land
Theres another piece of the

puzzle that must fall into place,
said the mayor: the question of
who will take ownership of the
patch of land on which Central
Office sits once the building is
demolished. The city would like
to obtain the land on which
Central Office sits as part of
its Main Street rejuvenation
project.
Initial plans for the Sundance
Downtown Master Plan suggest
the plot could be used as a town
square, complete with a green
space, a shelter and a gathering area.
We dont have a firm commitment from the school district at
this point to give us that [land],
said the mayor.
Lenz stated that there has
been dialogue over a possible
exchange. In return for the plot
of land, Superintendent Mark
Broderson has suggested that
the city could hand ownership
of the old county shop to the
district.
We never get enough money
to really do anything with it so
maybe, for the sake of the community, giving it to the school
where they have the resources
to fix it might be the answer,
he said.
Though there was some disagreement from the council
as to whether the city should
hand over the building, which
is currently used for storage,
Brooks also noted that the
district is looking for green
space for a practice field.
The city may be able to help
with this need, instead.
PRECorp employees, Foundation donate

rally proceeds to Crook County Fire
Commissioners discuss the

benefits and drawbacks of the
Moskee Forest Legacy Project
BY SARAH PRIDGEON
For the County Commissioners, the issue of the state
acquiring a 4934-acre tract
of land in the Moskee area
through a Forest Legacy Project is a double-edged sword.
On the one hand, explained
Commissioner Jeanne Whalen
last week, the county is promultiple use and approves of
the idea of improved public
access to public lands.
On the other hand, she
questioned the effect that the
acquisition would have on the
countys tax base. According to
the proposal, the Moskee Land
Corporation has developed a
subdivision plan that would
divide the land into 80 plots
that could be transformed into
residential homes.
An estimate from County
Assessor Theresa Curren
suggests that, should this
transpire, it could potentially
bring in $80,000 per year to

the county. (This estimate was
reached by assuming every
parcel would be considered
residential and comparing the
land to the parcels in Sundance Canyon Ranch.)
That would be a lot of money
to this county, said Whalen.
Do we want to be like Teton
County with million-dollar
houses or do we want to be
able to go into our woods?
The countys land use plan
specifically states that there
should be no net gain. This,
said Commissioner Kelly Dennis, is intended to prevent loss
to the tax base through the
loss of private property.
Though the project is still
in its early stages, Whalen
brought up the issue at last
weeks meeting to begin the
conversation with her fellow

The employees of Powder River Energy Corporation recently donated $2,013.59 to the Crook
County Fire services. The funds were raised at the annual PRECorp Biker Booth in downtown
Sundance on Burnout Wednesday (August 10) during the 76th Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.
Each year the booth committee dedicates funds to one or more local charities. The booths success is due to the hard work and hospitality of the PRECorp employees and family members who
volunteer their time and efforts to work at the booth. Our numbers were down only slightly compared to last year, but we achieved our goal of selling out of food, said project co-coordinators
Yvonne Moberg and Deb Cooper. We know it has been a busy summer for local firefighters and
we hope this helps replenish some of the resources that have been depleted in responding to the
many wildfires we have had this warm, dry summer.
The Powder River Energy Foundation pledged to match the employees donation dollar for dollar,
adding another $2,013.59 to the overall assistance generated by the Rally Booth.

raised their family of five children. He was a seasonal and
then permanent employee of the
US Forest Service with the Bearlodge District retiring in 1983

We dont want to soft-soap

the Alliance, but all the same,
we believe Crook county has
some of the finest farming
land under the sun. A trip to
the divide, nine miles south of
town, will, we believe, prove to
the most skeptical that farming will prove a wonderful success in this country. There are
a number of farmers located
on this divide and every one
of them have succeeded beyond their most sanguine expectations. The yield of small
grain is immense; one man,
C.E. Lincoln, will have over
six hundred bushels of wheat
from a twenty acre plat. Mr.
Lincoln has been here three
years and has never failed to
raise a splendid crop. He presented us with a few heads of
wheat that yield 123 grains to
the head; it is called the seven-headed wheat, for the reason that from three to seven
heads grows on one stock. He
has been compelled to build a
large new granary for the storage of his immense crop of
wheat and oats. His garden is
second to none, and he will be
compelled to build a new cellar
Community
Peek at the Past
to store his vegetables in. Mr.

Lincoln has seventy acres under cultivation, he and his son,
a small boy, do all the work
on this farm with two yoke of
oxen. Every farmer on this divide will be compelled to build
new granaries and cellars to
store their crops. It is beyond
our power to describe this section by our pen. The only way
to be able to appreciate this
country is to go and see it. The
farms of the Williams Bros.,
Mr. Foster and Mr. Lincoln
are grand and worth traveling
twice as far to see.

This Week at Your Library

By KiM heaSTer
We are still looking for copies of Moorcroft and Hulett
school annuals to put in our
permanent collection in the
Wyoming Room. Stop in and
see the Merci Train Exhibit
from the Wyoming State Museum. The Merci Train was
sent to the United States in
1949 in gratitude for American help rebuilding the nation
of France after the devastation
of World War II. Wyoming received one of the 50 gift-filled
railroad cars which made up
the train. Some of these gifts
are documented in this traveling exhibit. The exhibit will be
here in Sundance for September and then move to Moorcroft in October and Hulett in
November.

SNIDERS CELEBRATE 70TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
Richard and Irene (Roark) Snider were married in Sundance, Wyoming,

on September 15, 1936. Richard is the son of Pete and Euvon Snider of
Clearmont and Sheridan and Irene is the daughter of Bobby and Clara Roark
of Sundance.
The couple was Sundance High School sweethearts and lived on a ranch
out of Sundance for 55 years, raising sheep, cows, hay and grain. They
moved to Sheridan in 2001 when they retired. The couple has three
children: Gary (Cyndy) of Gillette, John (Patty) of Greenwood, Texas and
Judy Snider of Gordonville, Virginia. They have six grandchildren and 11
great-grandchildren.
Richard preached in the Church of Christ in Upton for 13 years before
moving to Sheridan, where he currently preaches at THEE Church of Christ
(45 E. Loucks St. 019). He is a member of the NRA and worked with Farm
Bureau for several years. He also was a member of the Crook County School
District Board of Trustees for many years and active in FHA, 4-H and
Election Clerk.
Irene is a homemaker, rancher and stay-at-home mom.
They are happy to celebrate this great event with you and will see you on
the walking path.

Custer, Crazy Horse, George

Crook, Sitting Bull, Phillip
SheridanSioux, Cheyenne,

Little Bighorn These are
among the names, places
and events that have become icons and legends associated with the campaign
that pitted the U.S. Army
against several Indian tribes
in 1876-1877. The famous
conflict that has captured
the imagination of millions
for the past 130 years will be
recounted and analyzed in a

at the Crook County Library
meeting room in Sundance
on Friday, September 23 at
7 p.m. The public is invited

The legendary battle on
the Little Bighorn is by far

the most famous event of
the war. Its been the subject of dozens of books and
hundreds of magazine articles, television documentaries, Hollywood movies and
so on. However, much of
that material is romantic,
biased or downright false,
says Gade. I think its as
fascinating and important
to be as factual as possible,
to see the events in context, to understand what
led up to the war and what
followed. The war certainly
had consequences down
to the present day for the
Black Hills region and both
the Indians and Caucasians.
My goal is to illuminate all of
that.

help requested for

veteran hall project
By Sarah Pridgeon
The independent veterans hall project intends to demolish the old North Pole Meat Locker
building before winter sets in and is seeking volunteer help to do so. The project is in need
of a belly dump truck or similar to haul the debris from the building.
The overall plan is to bring down the old building as quickly as possible so that the debris
can be placed in the citys landfill before it closes. This will also provide the in-kind match
for a grant from the Marna M. Kuehne Foundation, a Sheridan charity founded almost two
decades ago to support veterans by providing for their welfare, support, comfort and education.
This grant will be used to build a new independent hall to welcome all veterans in the area.
Construction of this new building is expected to begin in spring.
To volunteer your truck and time, please contact Jack Lake on 290-0976.

Crook County CattleWomen Recipes

By Sarah Pridgeon
The building where almost 300 Crook
County residents cast their votes at election
time has fallen into disrepair. The County
Commissioners considered options for Elmore Halls future last week, ultimately deciding to invest money in a new roof and ask
the community if it would like to adopt the
building and assist with additional repairs
and upgrades.
The reasoning behind this decision, said
Commissioner Jeanne Whalen, is that the
hall located on Kara Creek, west of Sundance,
could easily be used as a community building. At present, it is barely utilized outside
of election time due to its overall condition,
but it could potentially serve as a location for
events, group gatherings, blood draws and
more.
County Clerk Linda Fritz expressed concern
that the loss of the county-owned building
would be problematic for voters in the area.
If we dont do some work on it, how much
longer is it going to last? she said.
Maintenance Foreman Randy Gill outlined the issues with the building, describing a leaking roof that will eventually
affect the floor and walls and a lack of
electricity, making it difficult to heat the
building. Putting the countys options on
the table, the commissioners stated that
the building could either be sold or repaired.
Im not for putting a penny into it unless we do it right, commented Commissioner Steve Stahla.
Ian Policky has offered to donate the
labor to re-roof the building, which the
commissioners agreed would protect the
building in the near future. The commissioners decided to commit $2000 to materials for this project.
Meanwhile, Fritz will send a letter to
voters who use the Elmore Hall to outline
the situation and ask if they would like to
adopt the building and donate the funding to repair and upgrade it, potentially
turning it into a community hall.

quickly, disrupting the ecosystem. They may compete

with native fish for habitat
and spread diseases. For example, goldfish were illegally
introduced into Yesness Pond
in Casper. We are currently
monitoring the reproducing
population and may need
to take measures to control
them.
When pets get too large or
difficult to keep, some people
think that letting them loose
is the kind thing to do. Thats
not the case. Most pets will
starve or freeze to death and
those that do survive can
cause significant impacts.

Because an illegal fish introduction can have disastrous
impacts to a fishery, even an
entire watershed, the crime
carries some of the highest
penalties that exist for wildlife violations.

I recently attended a workshop where I had the opportunity to be a part of a discussion on the importance of
body condition scoring your
cow herd. Some of you may
be thinking to yourself, well I
already do this when Im out
checking my pasture, fixing
fence, feeding hay, etc. But
how often do you actually
assign numerical scores to
your cows? Assigning a body
condition score (BCS) helps
take out some of the bias we
might naturally have when
evaluating our herd. Quantifying cow body condition and
doing it at certain times of
the year can be a useful tool
when making larger management decisions. Financially,
this can be quite beneficial
because the cost of replacing females, whether you
buy them, or raise your own,
is one of the higher costs of
doing business in the beef
cattle industry.
Body condition scoring can
be defined as the systematic
approach to quantifying the
energy reserves of livestock
being fed a forage resource
such as grass or hay. Cattle
store energy reserves differently depending on breed,
age, frame type, etc., but
normally fat will be deposited along the spine, around
the tailhead, over the ribs,
and in the hindquarters and
brisket areas. To score an
animal you visually analyze
each of these areas and rate
them on a scale from 1-9;
with a 1 being an animal that
is emaciated, 4-6 being ideal
(depending on your management goals), and 9 being an
animal that is obese.
If a cow is too thin or too
fat it will impact her reproductive efficiency. Whether
a cow breeds back may also
depend on which direction
on the scale they are trending. For example: if she has a
body condition score of 4 but
youve since weaned her calf
or she is on quality feed, she
is on a higher plain of nutrition. Her biological functions
are telling her that it is okay
to reproduce. This response
might be the opposite if she
were trending in the other
direction, say from a body
condition score of 5 to a body
condition score of 4.
You can score cattle by
randomly selecting and scoring enough cows that you
feel confident will represent
the entire herd. Take the
average of these scores and
manage the herd using your
observations and data. Optimum times to score cattle
are before calving and breeding cycles. This is usually
done 100 days before calving
and 60 days before breeding.
Another good time to check
condition is late summer
or early fall when forage is
mostly dormant and has less
feed value. This is especially
important if there has been
a prolonged drought. During
a drought both the protein
and energy composition of
summer pasture has been
extremely limited and cows
are in need of extra supplement. It might even be necessary to wean calves early.
I encourage you to map out
your cow herds reproductive cycle, seasonal nutrient requirements, and the
quality and quantity of forage available during a typical growing season. This will
help you better understand
what body condition targets
you want your cow herd to
be in at certain times of the
year. For further information, please feel free to contact me by phone or email at

Council considers
future development
By Sarah Pridgeon
When Josh Kemmerer presented a proposal to run a water and sewer line to his property on the edge of town at this
months regular meeting of the Sundance City Council, Mayor
Paul Brooks commented that bringing it down 21st Street could
prove beneficial to the city in the future. If the utilities are by
the road, he said, it will allow for further development in that
direction.
Brooks suggested that, should Kemmerer find himself with
two options and the 21st Street route is more expensive, the
council may be amenable to helping out. He suggested Kemmerer hire an engineer to draw up a plan and then present it
to the council.
Later in the meeting, the council passed a motion to allow the
mayor to serve as a point of contact for Kemmerer in this matter, acting on behalf of and in the favor of the city.

funding arm recently visited Sundance to discuss the grant for
a new veterans hall. City Attorney Mark Hughes reported that
he has put together an agreement to waive the landfill fees associated with demolishing the North Pole Meat Locker.
He asked for clarification as to whether it is the citys intention to demolish at its own expense. Brooks explained that the
city will waive the dump fees, but it will be the organizations
responsibility to demolish it.
Clerk Treasurer Kathy Lenz reported that Range Communications has initiated a large project to provide fiber internet
connection to Sundance homes and will be excavating many
streets and alleys to do so. Though she had asked the company
for an official proposal that the council could vote on, Range
was not able to complete one before the meeting.
During discussion over the catering and malt beverage permits for the Sundance Beer Festival, Lenz was also granted permission to regulate special event permits according to which
vendors are selling for profit and which are nonprofit or charities. Mayor Brooks commented that it is logical to delegate this
responsibility if Sundance is going to become a pro-event community, the council has already outsourced road closures to
Police Chief Marty Noonan.
Brooks told the council that this week will mark the beginning
of discussions at the state level regarding appropriations, which
for the first time ever were split in two this year. The city is still
awaiting the second half of its funding and there is a suggestion
it may not come, he said, so he will be meeting with legislators
along with the Wyoming Association of Municipalities.
Lenz presented an update on the Main Street project, including updated drawings created to incorporate public feedback.
She asked the council to look them over and provide comments.
Community Prevention Specialist Kathy Cluff presented one of the two new ID scanners that will be available for
events in the county through a memorandum of understanding and was used last weekend at the beer festival.
Jason Vreeland told the council that Trihydro is working on the
plans and specifications for the new Cole water transmission
line, for which bore holes were dug on Cleveland Street last
week. The city engineers are in discussions with the Department of Environmental Quality about the contamination of the
soil around the gas station on Cleveland Street.
Regarding the football field, Vreeland stated that the extension
of the water line has been completed at a reasonable depth and
is being incorporated into the plans for the PRV valve project.
An ordinance amending the citys vendor permit received its
first reading. The ordinance will change the wording of Sundances special event vendor permit, which requires commercial vendors to provide information and pay a $10 fee to sell
their goods during events in the city.
The change will remove the provision that exempts another
governing body from the need for vendors to obtain a permit.
According to the mayor, the fair board used this provision to
prevent the need for vendors at this year to obtain a permit,
which is problematic for the citys goal to keep records of vendors for health inspection and sales tax purposes.
Public Works Director Mac Erickson requested a motion to
sign a work order that will allow Trihydro to begin the design
work needed to acquire a permit from the Department of Environmental Quality for a water storage tank hatch replacement.
He explained that two of the citys tanks have not been cleaned
or inspected in a decade as they cannot be accessed; installing the hatch will help to clear up the three Environmental
Protection Act deficiencies that have been found in the system.
Erickson also presented a bid for a water slide for the municipal pool that will cost $21,000 for the slide itself and
$16,000 for a separate company to perform the installation,
with the city responsible for the foundation. The council granted permission to continue moving forward with the project.
The next regular meeting of the city council will take place on
October 4.

City sticks with chicken

ordinance, invites further
conversation
By Sarah Pridgeon
On behalf of a group of residents who
would like to keep chickens within the
City of Sundance, Representative Tyler
Lindholm approached the city council on
Tuesday. The group, led by Trinity Lewis,
has begun a petition to garner how much
interest there is in chicken ownership in
town, he said, and has so far received
153 positive reactions and 24 signatures
from confirmed city residents.
They recognize very much that rooster and penning issues need to be addressed, said Lindholm, acknowledging
that a change in chicken regulations is
not as simple as altering the 1987 ordinance regulating livestock.
The current language in the ordinance
does allow chickens, said Mayor Paul
Brooks, but only in a limited manner.
If nobody within 300 feet complains,
you can have chickens under the current
ordinance, said Brooks.
He further commented that, according
to his research, other towns that have
Land:
loosened their restrictions on chicken

ownership have come to regret that decision.
People are passing yard chicken ordinances and then they are finding themselves bogged down in patrolling pets
because the pets, particularly alley cats,
are hard to fence out and they seem to
enjoy tormenting and executing chickens, he said.
I dont think theres any decision that
should be made that doesnt take into
consideration the additional law enforcement.
Discussions over poultry ownership
have a habit of becoming the cat people versus the chicken people, he said,
and lead to squabbles over pets killing
poultry. City Attorney Mark Hughes reiterated that he has seen this issue play
out in Upton and, in that case, the vast
majority of residents who commented
were against chickens and the city did
not want to charge its police officers with
enforcing an ordinance.
continued from page 1
commissioners. The general consensus was that the commissioners support the goal of blocking up state lands in the area
to improve manageability and access and also support multiple use.
Commissioner Steve Stahla further commented that improved access could mean an increase in hunting and tourism, which in turn could lead to more tax income from use of
motels, restaurants, gas stations and so on. Dennis also noted
that he has heard feedback from the community in support of
the project due to its potentially positive impact on hunting in
the Moskee area.
The State Board of Land Commissioners gave its blessing to
the Forest Legacy Project in mid-August. The 4934-acre tract
is located in the Grand Canyon area and has an estimated
value of $11.35 million.
If the project is successful, the Office of State Lands and Investments anticipates that the parcel will be owned and managed under the authority of the Board of Land Commissioners
for the benefit of the Common School Permanent Land Fund.
The Office of State Lands and Investments will now submit an
application to acquire the real estate.
The Forest Legacy Project is a federal program that works
with state agencies and local landowners to protect ecologically important forest lands that are threatened by conversion
to non-forest uses. Projects from around the nation are submitted to the program to compete for limited funding.
The commissioners stressed that the question of tax income
versus public use is something that citizens should consider
before the time comes for public comment on the project.
Moskee Land Exchanges
The County Commissioners also considered the Peterson

and Bonander land exchanges in the Moskee area during a
phone conversation with Jason Crowder, Assistant Director of the Trust Land Management Division. The countys
land use plan again came into question as Commissioner
County Attorney Joe Baron offered

his opinion, suggesting that the council would need to think long term when
designing a new ordinance because allowing chickens could open a floodgate.
He suggested that residents may come
forward wanting permission to keep animals such as honey bees and pot bellied
pigs in town.
I think we need to do more than just
change the ordinance, there needs to be
some guidelines in there besides just
whether they can have chickens, said
Council Member April Gill.
Maybe that group should bring their
proposal to us so we know what it is they
are after.
For the sake of discussion, Council
Member Sheryl Klocker made a motion
to retain the ordinance as it currently
stands. The motion was passed, but the
council agreed to place the issue on the
agenda again in November to allow the
group to present its request and members of the public to share their views.
Kelly Dennis asked whether the countys wishes will be

taken into account.
Crowder responded that the Board of Land Commissioners is not subject to zoning rules, so county land use plans
are not considered during the analysis of land exchanges.
He noted that the board is sensitive to the effects of land
acquisition, particularly across county borders, and asked
that the county bring up this concern in a public comment
to help the board understand the impacts.
Regarding the no net gain policy, Crowder stated that,
according to his records, a total of 680 acres has been sold
in Crook County since statehood, creating a current balance of negative 680.
Crowder provided an overview of the exchanges and commented that both are likely to have an effect on the county
taxroll that could equate to a total loss of just over $9000
per year. County Attorney Joe Baron, however, noted that
this estimation is based on fair market value and, bearing in mind that the land is used for grazing, he believes
the number would be considerably lower. An estimate from
County Assessor Theresa Curren put the true total figure
at $568, of which the county only receives 20 percent.
Crowder added that he believes both parcels of land can
be enhanced for private industry and public access and
speculated that grazing, timber, ag and recreational uses
could offset the loss to the county.
We anticipate the uses will be very much in line with
what is currently existing out there, he said.
He also mentioned that the Bonander exchange is proving slightly more contentious as it has the potential to
hinder public access to state lands in Albany County. For
this reason, he said, the board is hearing a lot of interest
from the public.
Crowder also noted that there may be additional Moskee
land parcels to be considered for swaps or state ownership.
These are not yet ready for public consumption, he said,
but the public will be very much made aware when the
time comes.
Game and Fish: New rules on scouting for game animals with aircraft
With the evenings getting cooler in Wyoming, many hunters are turning their
attention to scouting for the fall hunting
seasons. The Wyoming Game and Fish
Department is reminding hunters that it
is illegal to use aircraft to do their scouting or aid in taking game animals from
August 1-January 31.
Previously, hunters were only required
to wait for a 24-hour period before hunting game animals that had been located
with an aircraft. The current regulation,

revised earlier this year as a result of considerable public input, now reads: No person shall use any aircraft with the intent
to spot, locate and aid in the taking of any
game animal from August 1 through January 31 of the following calendar year. Nothing in this Section shall apply to the operation of an aircraft in a usual manner where
there is no attempt or intent to locate any
game animal, such as aircraft used for the
sole purpose of passenger transport.

It should also be noted that the term
aircraft means any machine or device
capable of atmospheric flight. This includes but is not limited to an airplane,
helicopter, glider, dirigible or unmanned
aerial vehicle (UAV or drone). If you have
any questions on this or any other hunting laws or regulations, please contact
your local game warden, Game and Fish
office or visit the Game and Fish website.

Interim committee
looking to expand
voting options
Solid waste board

courts Weston
County
By Sarah Pridgeon
The Crook County Solid Waste Joint Powers Board is hoping to win Weston Countys participation in efforts to create
a regional solution to the landfill problem. According to Sundances representative, Sheryl Klocker, the board has agreed
to allow Weston County to join should they choose to.
The condition was added that Weston County should also
be asked to contribute financially as the other communities
already are, said Klocker. Mayor Paul Brooks explained that
Newcastle owns the permitted landfill in Weston County and
is not keen on taking garbage from outside the city.
They very well may be coming over as a cooperating entity,
he said.
Meanwhile, the board will move ahead with a study to investigate options for the countys garbage, to be funded equally
by each of the five cooperating entities: the four towns and
the county.
All five communities have passed resolutions and had it in
their budgets to provide a portion of the study funding, said
Klocker.
The study will cost $20,540 and is based on a proposal received several months ago from HDR Engineering, she said.
The board moved to accept the proposal with the stipulation
that recommendations provided by the Department of Environmental Quality be added.
In Sundance, the project to close the landfill may reach its
next milestone this fall. The city has now submitted its application for state funding.
It has been submitted to DEQ and well be going down in
front of the State Lands and Investments Board on October
6 to see if well be awarded the grant to do the closure on the
landfill. Everything seems to be moving as we planned, said
Clerk Treasurer Kathy Lenz.
The mayor noted that the city still plans to ask SLIB to provide more of the funding than was initially allotted.
It used to be a 75 percent grantwhat were asking for is
them to pay 90 percent, as is Clearmont, as is Kaycee. Well
see how far the money goes, said Brooks.
Though the study is intended as a way to investigate options
for the county as a whole, Trihydro has raised concerns over
economy of scale and whether a regional landfill would be
able to take the amount of trash needed to cover maintenance
and operation on a daily basis.
Though Ken Schrader told the council at its August meeting
that hauling to the nearest regional facility may be a more
financially sound decision, the council committed to educating itself on the options more fully by contributing the the
boards study.
Runoff concerns
Council grapples with ditch issue
By Sarah Pridgeon
The council found itself divided on Tuesday in deciding
how to solve a water drainage issue on the south side of
town. While one council member felt it should be the responsibility of the homeowner who caused the problem
to fix it, others felt that an engineer should be enlisted to
make sure the solution is permanent.
Bob Maynard brought the problem to the councils attention, explaining that a change to the drainage system had
diverted rain run-off towards his home. He first noticed
the problem during a heavy rainfall on July 18, when for
the first time in his 41 years of living on E. Thompson
Street, water ran directly into his yard.
Thompson Street was designed to have a drainage ditch
on the right hand side as you go east, which is on the
south side of that street. All these years, we have never
had water in our front yard, he said.
There is a blockage across the street theres a culvert
there, but the water doesnt know its there.
Public Works Director Mac Erickson installed a drainage ditch and the problem was thought to be solved, but a
second rain event at the beginning of August proved this
to not be the case.
I would appreciate it if you would figure out some way
of putting that ditch back in or figuring out some way of
getting that water from there to the culvert thats in that
driveway to keep it over on that side of the street, said
Maynard.
Mayor Paul Brooks suggested that city engineers Trihydro should be asked to look into the problem.
I think that we shouldhave Trihydro assess whats going on there and what should be done and get a permanent solution, said the mayor, stating that drainage has
been a continuing problem and the council itself does not
have the expertise to figure out how best to fix the overall
issue without consulting the experts.
Councilman Ken Denzin, however, disagreed. The city
relies on a ditch system to divert rainwater, he explained,
and should not allow private residents to alter that system.
We allowed somebody to plug one of our ditches and
now we have diverted water to where it becomes a hardship on possibly somebody else, he said.
The city would be wasting money to hire an engineer
and should instead ask the homeowner to fix it, Denzin
continued.
I make a motion that we instruct the Sigels that, if they
want to continue having their flat spot to park in, they
come up with some kind of culvert system thats acceptable to our public works director underneath that flat
spot, he said.
Council Member Sheryl Klocker commented that she
could see the validity in both arguments, while Council
Member Brad Marchant noted that there may be additional ditch work needed or an alternative approach, which
made him lean more towards the idea of an engineer.
The vote was tied, with Klocker and Marchant voting
against it. The mayor broke the tie, causing the motion to
fail, and directed Trihydro to look at the drainage issue as
part of the firms monthly retainage.
Moon Walk
features
Cascade
Springs area
By Sarah Pridgeon
Legislators are this week
considering two potential
bills that would ensure Wyomingites who are governed
by city regulations are able
to vote for that citys leaders.
Though she believes them
to be theoretically sound,
County Clerk Linda Fritz is
concerned about the practical questions that need to be
answered for the proposals to
become law.
Representative Tyler Lindholm, who serves on the Joint
Corporations, Elections and
Political Subdivisions Interim
Committee that will discuss
the two bills, explains that
the ideas are interconnected
and deal with fairness for
voters.
The first addresses the
question: if a person is being regulated through a city
ordinance, should they be
able to vote for those who are
doing the regulating? From
a philosophical aspect, says
Lindholm, they absolutely
should.
What were looking at is
how municipalities have the
ability to regulate those who
are not their typical constituents people who dont live
in town or live close to town,
he says.
Municipalities have the
right to have extra-territorial
jurisdiction. What that means
is that, a half mile from the
city limits, those ordinances
adopted by the city council
can be enforced.
Not all towns choose to enforce the half-mile radius;
Sundance does enforce it, for
instance, while Hulett does
not. Those who do enforce
it tend to do so for good reason, says Lindholm: to ensure that areas that may be
annexed are up to code and
ready to be incorporated into
the city.
However, weve still got
this population out there
that is being regulated without being able to vote for the
regulators, Lindholm says,
explaining that the proposed
bill would abolish these extra-territorial jurisdictions.
The second proposal looks
at expanding voter rights,
allowing county residents to
vote for municipal leaders
if they own land within that
city.
A lot of people would say,
if you want to vote for municipal leaders, you should
live in town, Lindholm says.
Absolutely right, but what
happens if you own property
in town? Lets say you live out
in the county but you do all
your business in town, you
still fall under the auspice of
regulators regulating without you being able to vote for
them.
Logistical Issues
Fritz agrees that the two

proposals bring benefits to
Wyomings voters, but is concerned about how they would
actually be implemented by
those who are responsible for
running elections.
It would be good for the
people to get to vote on things
that might affect their businesses it would allow the

taxpayer the opportunity to
vote for who will be in government within a municipality in which they have some
financial interest, she acknowledges.
However, she sees a number of logistical and financial issues that could make
things tough particularly
in the short time between the
bills becoming law and the
2018 elections. There are no
clear answers as to who will
perform the necessary steps
or who will fund them, she
says.
For example, the state-mandated system through which
county clerks register voters,
known as WyoReg, was not
built to handle a situation
in which a person is voting
in two districts at the same
time. Altering the system
would be a huge undertaking for the Secretary of State,
Fritz says.
Within WyoReg, theres an
address library built in for
your county, she explains. I
cant logically figure out how
WyoReg can handle this because you cant be dual registered.
Fritz also believes the language in the draft bill is vague
in outlining what happens if
the two votes are split across
county lines; for example,
does a person who lives in
Crook County but owns a
business in Sheridan get to
vote in both places?
If so, all of the clerks will
have to combine ballots and
get ballots from other agencies how on earth would we
ever track that? she questions.
The county clerk also questions who will take on the
daunting task of checking
property ownership. Before
each election, she says, someone will need to go through all
the records of property ownership across the cities and
county to confirm that voters
are correctly registered.
The problem worsens if the
two votes are taking place in
different counties, she adds.
How can she, as Crook Countys clerk, check the records
in Sheridan County?
That in itself would create
an entire elections department. For smaller counties,
theres no way we could keep
up with our regular duties
plus the duties of an election,
which basically run from
March to December for us,
and then track ownership,
she says.
Incorrect
registrations
would not be caught by the
Assessors Office, she adds,
because
the
information
gathered there is not collated
until the end of the year.
Fritz also questions who will
track the ordinances and how
they affect business owners
especially in larger cities
where some ordinances only
affect certain portions of the
municipality. She wonders
who will produce the ballots
that cross county lines and
whether the cost of researching and creating special bal-

lot faces will be passed on to

the municipalities.
Logistically, it is a nightmare. Financially, it will cost
the municipalities more because the counties will have
to have them absorb those
costs and the cities are the
ones with less revenue, she
says.
And who is going to do it?
If the cities are going to do it,
theyre going to need an election department.
At the voting station itself,
every voter will need to be
checked to ensure they are
given the right ballots. Finding election judges is already
a challenge, Fritz says, and
increasing the complexity of
their job is not likely to encourage more people to volunteer not to mention the
increased likelihood of someone accidentally being given
the wrong ballot.
Fritz has many other questions that have yet to be answered. Will voters need to
visit two different polling
places? If they vote in one
place, will this be dictated by
their home or business location? Who will deliver ballots?
What happens if a business
sells after the 30-day cut-off
date?
Ideas are great, but you
need to be able to put all the
factors together and all of the
players need to be able to
give their input, Fritz says.
It would be a huge undertaking it is a concept that
branches off into complicated
issues.
Fritz, who has been in contact with other clerks around
the state who are concerned
about how these laws would
be implemented, believes legislators should spend some
time in county offices to see
what it takes to run an election and track land ownership before decisions are
made on the bills.
Lindholm
acknowledges
that questions have raised,
for example as to whether a
Colorado resident should be
able to vote in a Wyoming
municipality or whether a
wealthy person should be
able to purchase land in every Wyoming town to give
themselves a vote in each. To
answer some of these questions, he says, the legislature
intends to limit the number of
municipal elections a person
can vote in to one and allow
voters to only vote in a municipality in the same county
as their residence.
For Lindholm, the questions
of cost and logistics are important but worth the time
and effort to answer. The bill
has a long way to go before it
reaches the governors desk,
he says, but would ultimately
give a right to Wyoming residents that he believes is well
worth the trouble.
The Black Hills National

Forest will hold a Moon
Walk south of Hot Springs
on Saturday, September
17 at 7 p.m. This 1.5 mile
round trip hike will examine the unique hydrology,
rare plants, and incredible
history of the town of Cascade. This hike will take
place on the Black Hills
National Forest and adjacent Nature Conservancys
Whitney Preserve as well as
a small portion of private
land not ordinarily open to
the public.
The hike will start at Cascade Springs, located at the
J.H. Keith CascadeSprings
Picnic Area. The 67 degree
water found at the spring
provides some of the clearest most pristine water in
South Dakota and supports
a unique warm riverine ecosystem that includes four
rare plant species found
nowhere else in the Black
Hills or the surrounding
Great Plains. The Nature
Conservancy staff will explain the unique habitat
and natural features of the
landscape and why conservation is so critical for this
landscape. Visit nature.
org/southdakota for more
information about The Nature Conservancy and its
mission.
Local historian and botanist Cindy Reed will also colead the hike and will guide
participants to spot landscape features and archeological signs of the town of
Cascade while sharing stories of its history.
In the late 1800s, the
warm waters of Cascade
Springs were believed to
be medicinal and drew
residents and businesses that built up the town
of Cascade. At its height,
the town included a bank,
dance hall, bath house,
health resort, grocery store
and more. When railroads
discontinued stopping in
Cascade, the town was dismantled and abandoned.
Now, over 100 years later,
much of the historic town
site has been re-purposed
as a nature trail owned and
managed by The Nature
Conservancy as a part of
the Whitney Preserve.
Prepare to walk on uneven terrain. Attendees
should bring flashlights,
water, and bug repellant
and dress for evening temperatures. Long pants and
sturdy footwear (hiking
boots or athletic shoes)
are recommended for your
comfort and safety.
To reach the Moon Walk
from Hot Springs, SD turn
south on Highway 71 and
travel 6 miles to J.H. Keith
Cascade Springs Picnic
Area. The picnic ground will
be on your right. Please allow yourself an hour and a
half drive-time from Rapid
City. Signs will be placed at
major intersections.

notorious virus norovirus
By ViCKi hayMan
Do you remember the last time you had
the stomach flu? Most likely, it came on
very quickly, and you probably blamed it
on the last meal you ate or someone who
was sick. Chances are the real culprit
was a bug called norovirus.
Food safety has been in the news a lot
this year, mostly in a less-than-positive
light (remember Chipotles crisis over
foodborne illnesses tied to its restaurants?). Which makes this years National Food Safety Month (NFSM) theme even
more relevant: Notorious Virus how
to protect against the leading causes of
foodborne illness.
The virus is highly contagious and commonly spread through food or water that
is contaminated by fecal matter during
preparation.
Noroviruses are a group of viruses that
cause inflammation of the stomach and
large intestine lining; they are the leading cause of gastroenteritis in the U.S.
Noroviruses are highly contagious, and
they can be transmitted through food or
water thats been contaminated by fecal
matter during preparation. You can also
be infected through close contact with an
infected person.
This infection is often mistakenly referred to as the stomach flu- it is not
related to the flu (influenza), which is a
respiratory illness caused by influenza
virus that goes around in the winter,
which is a respiratory illness caused by
a different type of virus. Symptoms of norovirus may include any or all of the following:
Vomiting
Diarrhea
Stomach ache or cramps
Low-grade fever and chills
Headache or muscle aches
General sense of tiredness
These symptoms often come on suddenly, usually within one or two days after
exposure, and you may quickly become
very sick. Even though you might feel
like you want to die, norovirus symptoms
last one to three days, and most people
recover completely without treatment.
However, some people, such as the very
young, elderly, and immune-compromised, are at greater risk if they are unable to drink enough liquids to replace
those lost due to vomiting and diarrhea.
These people can suffer from dehydration
and should seek medical attention.
People become infected with noroviruses when they eat food or drink liquids
that have been contaminated; raw or

undercooked oysters and raw fruits and
vegetables have been implicated in some
outbreaks. You can also get infected if
you share food, by shaking hands, or
touch an object or surface that has been
infected with the virus and then touch
your nose, mouth, or eyes. You also may
get it through direct contact with someone who is infected.
Sometimes referred to as the cruise
ship virus, norovirus infection occurs
most frequently in closed and crowded
environments such as hospitals, nursing
homes, daycare centers, schools, cruise
ships and other close quarters. Noroviruses are difficult to wipe out because
they can withstand hot and cold temperatures as well as most disinfectants.
Its important to remember that you (or
others) are contagious from the moment
you first start to feel ill to at least 24
hours after you recover. Some people may
be infectious for as long as two weeks after they recover, potentially spreading
the virus to many people they encounter
at work, school, and other public places. Since there are many different kinds
of noroviruses, being infected once does
not prevent becoming infected again later
from another kind of norovirus. There is
no vaccine to prevent norovirus, and no
drug to treat people who get sick. Antibiotics do not work, as they fight bacteria
and not viruses.
Now that your memory has been refreshed about how awful norovirus is,
youre probably wondering how you can
prevent ever getting it again. To help prevent its spread:
Wash your hands and forearms frequently and thoroughly using warm water
and soap. This is particularly important
after using the toilet, changing diapers
and before preparing or eating food.
Wash fruits and vegetables before
cooking or eating them. Cook seafood
thoroughly.
Disinfect virus-contaminated areas
with a chlorine bleach solution. Wear
gloves.
Dispose of vomit and fecal matter carefully, to avoid spreading norovirus by air.
Soak up material with disposable towels,
using minimal agitation, and place them
in plastic disposal bags. Wear disposable
gloves when handling soiled items and
wash your hands afterwards.
If you are sick, stay home! You may
be contagious as long as three days after your symptoms end. Children should
stay home from school or day care.

Another week, another win
for the Patriots, who moved
to 3-0 and remained atop the
state 1A standings after dispensing with the Grizzlies on
Friday night in Upton.
In a battle that was shaping
up to be one of the tougher
ones faced by the Pats this
year, it wasnt until late in
the game that the hometown
team was finally able to put
a scrappy Rocky Mountain
away.
The scoring opened up
when Rocky Mountain was
flagged for a holding penalty
in their own endzone, which
put Upton-Sundance up 2-0.
Braylan Materi caught an
11-yard throw from Hunter
Woodard late in the quarter
for the Pats first touchdown
of the evening.
Rocky Mountain held their
own though and managed
a pair of touchdowns before
the end of the second quarter
and went into halftime with a
9-14 lead.
When the teams hit the field
for the third quarter, it didnt
take long for the Patriots to
get the momentum to swing
their way once again. Sophomore receiver Dillon Barritt
made an impressive onehanded catch in the endzone
off a long pass from Woodard
on fourth down to put the Patriots up 15-14 with five min-
utes left in the third.

Dawson Butts lit up the
crowd and the scoreboard
just over a minute later with
an interception return for a
touchdown. Cort Ingalls added an extra point and Patriots
stretched their lead to 22-14
as they entered the fourth.
Butts kept the heat on the
Grizzlies late in the fourth
with a 27-yard run on fourth
and long to pull the Patriots
out of a deep hole. He followed on the next play with
a one-yard touchdown run.
The extra point was blocked
and the Patriots were on top
of Rocky, 28-14.
Thomas Davis wrapped up
the nights scoring with a sixyard touchdown run inside
the last two minutes, bringing the score to final of 3414.
Butts led the team rushing
with 132 yards on 22 carries,
Ingalls finished five for 48
yards, Davis went eight for
27 yards, Woodard had 26
yards on 19 runs and Barritt
was credited with 22 yards
on a pair of rushes.
Woodard completed eight
passes for 107 yards on the
Moving?
night. Ingalls accounted for

three of those and 50 yards,
Barritt had 32 yards on a
pair of receptions, Butts had
one catch for 20 yards and
Materi finished with 11 yards
on one.
On defense, John Sullivan
notched nine assisted and
six solo tackles, Davis had
three assisted, four solo and
a sack. Butts had a punt
block, an interception, two
assisted and two solo tackles. Donnavan Gray chalked
up six assisted and two unassisted tackles, Ingalls had
five assisted and one solo
tackle. Tanner Hoffland was
credited with a pair of assisted and three solo tackles.
Yuli Viergets finished with
four assisted and one solo
tackle.
Viergets also averaged just
over 45 yards on four punts.
Its off to Shoshoni this week
for a Friday afternoon game.
Shoshoni, who is also considered one of the top teams in
the 1A this year, comes into
the contest after a surprise
loss to Southeast last week.
Kickoff is scheduled for 2
p.m.

Great showing in Sheridan for SHS cross country

Kammerer takes first out of 137
junior high boys at Belle Fourche
Some early season aches and pains didnt hold the Sundance
cross country athletes from strutting their stuff at the Belle
Fourche golf course and the Sheridan VA last week. Both races
provided stiff competition from South Dakota, Wyoming and
Montana, which helped our runners get a lay of the competitive
landscape.
The Belle Fourche course presented a formidable challenge
to the SHS runners. The combination of a changed route and
more hills made for longer times for our athletes, but that didnt
hinder Sundance eighth grader Isaiah Kammerer from taking
first place out of a herd of 137 junior high boys making the
earth shake for 3000 meters (1.55 miles) with a time of 11:05.
Hunter Skeens took eighth place in 12 minutes flat. Owen Haiar and Will Hunkins finished in 13:36 and 14:06 respectively
and seventh grader Nate Schommer cruised in at 17:27.
Sundances JV runners did well in the hilly 5000-meter race.
Titus Schelling pushed through a cramping calf to come in at
22:23. Sophomore Brody Skeens finished at 23:26, freshman
Myles Stefanich at 24:19 and Laramie Holst crossed the tape
at 24:41. Will Inghram and Klel Johnson showed marked improvement over last week finishing at 26:52 and 27:17 respectively.
In the 4000-meter JV girls race, freshman Tori Wheeler took
third place out of 39 in 19:21 and senior Sienna Schuler finished strong at 21:49. In the varsity race, senior Jonas Pridgeon ran his 5k in 19:37 flat.
While challenged by Belles terrain, SHS runners that struggled there made up for it in Sheridan two days later.
The junior high boys ran a 2600 meter race and each increased in pace-per-mile speed. Eighth grader Isaiah Kammerer took second place with a time 9:04. Hunter Skeens was on
his tail at 9:41. Next, Owen Haiar and Will Hunkins sprinted
through the finish line at 11:28 and 11:33. Ben Tinsley cruised
in at 13:17 and seventh grader Nate Schommer in 14:54. Their
combined efforts earned Sundance a seventh place team score
from among the many schools there.
In the junior varsity girls, senior Sienna Schuler finished her
5K in 26:02 and freshman Tori Wheeler earned her spot on
the varsity squad with a time of 23:21. In the JV boys division Brody Skeens was our leader at 21:24, taking two minutes
off his Belle finish. Then came freshman Myles Stefanich in

Isaiah Kammerer leads the pack of junior high boys to

the finish line in Belle Fourche.
23:28, followed by Senior Nathan Diede at 23:48. Titus Schelling crossed next in 24:12, followed by Klel Johnson who took
almost two minutes off his previous race! With enough runners
to have a team score, the JV boys took 13th place overall.
Senior varsity runner Jonas Pridgeon redeemed himself from
a tough time in Belle by reaching his goal of sub-18:40 with a
time of 18:38, subtracting a minute quite a feat in the sub-20
minute runners.
With renewed confidence from a great showing in Sheridan
and with these first few races under their belts, the SHS XC
runners now have a week and a half to calibrate and refocus
before the large Rapid City meet next Friday. Wish them luck
as the team continues to prepare mentally and physically for
the upcoming competitions!

Great turnout for

bike rodeo
Photos courtesy Adrian Whitmore
The Sundance Police Department with the assistance of

the Sundance EMS put on the
elementary bike rodeo at the
new elementary school. A large
turnout of 37 students attended the bike rodeo and two
lucky young children received
brand-new bikes Gavin Mollenbrink and Autumn Hogan.
Children learned about the
new rules for the Sundance
Elementary school campus
and where and how they can
ride their bikes within the City
of Sundance. The kids were
very lively, inquisitive and well
behaved.
There was Kool-Aid, ice water, cookies and free ice cream
coupons from the Country
Cottage for all the participants
at the bike rodeo and some
Autumn Hogan
were even given a new helmet.

Please be aware of our young
children in our community
as they learn to bike to the
new school and learn the new
routes to the new school.
