Not too spooky Halloween doesn’t have to be all about the spooks.

The ladies of the Crook County Courthouse – themed without fail on Halloween and always a treat for tricksters – chose the iconic Rosie the Riveter outfit for this year’s merriment, honoring the contribution of women to preserving the nation’s freedom during World War II. In back, left to right: Misty Nuzum, Tina Wood, Melissa Jones, Betty Lantis, Liz Love, and Sherri Moeller. Front: Meghan Porter, Linda Fritz and Trudy Materi.

Meanwhile, at Bear Lodge Rehab, the day of mischief was full of color and glitter as a cast of Trolls greeted visitors at the door. From left to right, Alicia Lechtenberg, Roni Kramer and Stacy Marchant are full of smiles, rather than scares, for All Hallows Eve.

BY SARAH PRIDGEON The long list of projects on the City of Sundance’s schedule this season are all continuing on track, says Public Works Director Mac Erickson.

In fact, construction has already begun to wind down.

The new Cole Water Transmission Line is reaching the point where little remains but the finishing touches, he explains.

“They got both main bores in and tied together at 4 th Street and Northwest Street. They’ll be installing a hydrant by the Sundance Kid and another hydrant up by Joni J’s and laying the rest of the pipe up Northwest Street,” Erickson says of the work remaining over the next week.

He anticipates that the contractors will have the rest of the pipe laid by the end of this week, though there will be elements of clean-up required afterward, such as patching and paving. Two more tie-ins are also needed by 3 rd Street

playing for prizes rather than money. Meanwhile, pick your square for the chicken and horse bingo – whoever guesses where the animal will poop first will be the winner.

The fundraiser will also feature a silent auction and live entertainment, says Spaulding.

Donations are welcomed for all the planned entertainments, particularly the silent auction and the poker prizes as well as salad and dessert dishes for the meal.

“If anybody has anything they want to donate, even if they just want to bake a loaf of banana bread, it will help,” says Spaulding.

“Anybody can come and help, if they wanted to take money at the door or emcee.”

A location for the fundraiser has yet to be confirmed. Please contact Spaulding at 2W Trading Post for more details or check next week’s Newsbox.

Donations can also be made directly to an account set up in Mills’ name at Sundance State Bank, or via Spaulding at 2W Trading Post. Any help is greatly appreciated by the family, says daughter Toni Nekvasil.

Wrapping up

City projects continue on track

BY SARAH PRIDGEON Known to many for her contributions to the community, particularly through Crook County’s museum district, Cricket Mills is in need of help from her neighbors as she undergoes tests and treatments for a medical issue that, at time of writing, has yet to be firmly diagnosed.

Mills is experiencing serious skin-related symptoms that saw her spend time in an intensive care unit at a burns facility last week. To help with the medical costs, particularly for a LifeFlight between Rapid City and Greeley, Colorado, friends and family are fundraising on her behalf.

Joni Spaulding invites the public to a fundraiser on November 11 with plenty of activities to entertain while visitors fill their bellies with brisket and pulled pork courtesy of Jonathan Tinsley.

“You’ll get live entertainment and really good quality food,” says Spaulding. “We’ll start around 5 p.m. and supper will be start being served around 5:30 p.m.”

Among the planned entertainments, guests can participate in a poker tournament,

and the road leading to Mt. Moriah Cemetery, which will be installed in the coming days.

“People can expect a phone call if they’re going to be out of water for these tie-ins,” Erickson assures.

The PRV pressure valve project is virtually complete, although two more valves located in buildings will be replaced over the next couple of weeks.

Meanwhile, the remainder of the rubble from the old high school will disappear very soon, Erickson says, allowing the process of backfilling to begin. The aim is to bring the plot back up to grade and then seed it with grass, which the school district may or may not be able to help fund.

SUNDANCE, WYOMING

BY SARAH PRIDGEON It’s best to do things in the right order, one step at a time, was the general consensus of the Board of Trustees at the regular meeting of Crook County Medical Services District on Monday. While the focus right now is on a renovation project within Sundance Hospital to install a new CT scanner, the board stressed its desire to continue on with plans for a new clinic in Hulett.

The district is looking to place a CT scanner within the main hospital to replace the rented trailer that sits outside.

The project will see several rooms renovated, said CEO Nathan Hough, also giving the hospital two additional emergency rooms and a new EKG and x-ray room.

The preliminary drawings are currently with the state for approval, said Hough. When the specs are finalized, said Attorney Kyle Ridgeway, the board will send them out to potential contractors with a request for qualifications and a fee proposal.

When the bids come in, he said, the board will have a better concept of the cost – initially projected at around $845,000 – and what grant money might be available once the project is officially approved, alongside the Helmsley Grant for $400,000 already secured for the scanner itself.

The economic model developed for the project showed that installing its own CT scanner would be better financially than continuing to rent the trailer, according to the board.

Hough explained that the cost of repaying the loan, should no additional grants be available, will be little different to

the $10,000 per month rental on the trailer (which would increase to $15,000 after August because the machine must be replaced by a newer model that can be supported).

Due to time constraints on the Helmsley Grant and a desire to finish a project that is expected to bring in revenue for the district, the board will be moving forward with the CT scanner and hopes to have final approval on the design within the next couple of months.

But what of the project to build a new clinic for the Hulett community, asked Trustee Connie Lindmier. The board discussed tabling the plans for the time being, while the CT scanner project is finalized.

Trustee Mark Erickson suggested that doing so might be the best idea so that the district is not jumping, “from the iron to the fire”. Once the district has a handle on funding and contracts for the scanner, he said, discussions can begin again.

Lindmier expressed her concerns that this might be a blow to supporters of the new clinic.

“I have people in Hulett who are asking about it and know there’s at least the money in the Foundation and they are wanting to start getting interest built and the potential for participation on the Hulett side,” she said.

The money in the Crook County Medical Services Foundation coffers was raised around a decade ago for the three clinics in Sundance, Moorcroft and Hulett. Officially, said Lindmier, the figure for the Hulett clinic is $100,000, See Headway: page 6

David Hartley Leinen

David Hartley Leinen, 79, passed away Friday October 27, 2017, in Sundance, Wyoming, surrounded by his family. David, a longtime resident of Wyoming, was born August 29, 1938, in Wilkin County, Minnesota, to Walter and Fern (Pasch) Leinen, the eighth of ten children.

He graduated from Breckenridge, Minnesota, High School in 1957 and was active in football, chorus and was Senior Class President. He then attended the North Dakota School of Science earning an associate degree in electrical construction.

Following graduation, he moved to Casper where he entered the IBEW (International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers) apprenticeship pro-

gram and went on to achieve both a journeyman and master electrician’s license. He worked in the electrical trade in and around Casper until moving to Sundance in 1974 where he and his partners, Clarence Phillips and Lee Middleton, started Energy Electric, a successful business for over 30 years.

He believed in education, and throughout his life he taught apprenticeship classes, helping others gain their electrical license including all his sons and sons-in-law. Later in his career, he served on the Wyoming State Electrical board and on the IBEW apprenticeship board.

David married the love of his life, Eunice (Neubauer), on February 11, 1961, in Casper,

Wyoming. From this marriage six children were born: David (Sherry) Leinen of Newcastle, Wyoming, Debbie (Terry) Gillaspie of Chugwater, Wyoming, Mark (Andrea) Leinen of Wheatland, Wyoming, Steven (Jill) Leinen of Laramie, Wyoming, Phillip (Annie) Leinen of Green River, Wyoming and Rebecca (Casey) Nachtman of Douglas, Wyoming.

David and Eunice enjoyed family gatherings surrounded by their fifteen grandchildren and their eight great-grandchildren. He is preceded in death by three brothers, Vance, Lyle and Dennis; one sister, Marilyn Neubauer; one son-in-law, Colby Viergets; as well as his parents Fern (Pasch) and Walter Leinen.

David had a tender heart

Sundance Community Church (SBC)

partnered with a sly and wicked sense of humor. He will be remembered for the twinkle in his eyes when he pulled one over on someone.

While he was devoted to building his business and his work, family always came first. He enjoyed spending time behind the wheel of a tractor haying and working on his land as well as hunting, fishing and rides on the back roads of Wyoming.

David loved children and would delight in them. The family has started an account at Sundance State Bank that will be donated to children ministries for his memorial.

Memorial Services will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday November 3, 2017 at the Methodist Church in Sundance.

Reed Henschel Service of Remembrance for Reed Henschel, 88, of Faith, South Dakota, was Saturday, October 28, 2017, at the Faith Community Center. Rev. Mark Richardson officiated and cremation followed. His family will bury his ashes at a later date at a cemetery in his home town of Princeton, Minnesota.

Reed Edward Henschel was born on Palm Sunday, March 24, 1929, in Princeton, Minnesota, son of Edward Martin Henschel and Elizabeth (Heitman) Henschel. Princeton is a farming community but also a building hub.

As such, Reed was raised with a family of craftsman. His father, Edward Henschel, managed a lumberyard and was a skilled carpenter. His grandfather, Henry Heitman, was a two-time National Bricklaying Champion at the World’s Fair as well as a plastering contractor.

Reed’s siblings, Charles, the eldest (deceased), an engineer and contractor, Raleigh (surviving wife Ethel) second eldest, worked alongside his father as well as attending drafting school (decease age at 36 from diabetes).

David (deceased and wife Bertha deceased), who later in life moved to Faith, also became a draftsman. Reed’s only surviving sibling, the youngest, Jack (surviving wife Sharon) went to an electronics school for his

career in technical science and resides in Minnesota.

Reed was baptized at Immanuel Lutheran Church, Princeton, and as an adult served as a deacon. Faith was key to Reed and in his lifetime he befriended people of many different faiths and races.

In Reed’s youth, he became an Eagle Scout, played sports and graduated from Princeton High School in 1946. Hard work was engrained early on, starting as a teenager alongside his father and brothers clearing and logging his father’s property near Princeton for residential construction.

Reed then advanced to a master stone mason, bricklayer and plasterer.

The Henschel boys joined the National Guard and were called to serve when the Korean War broke out. Reed was sent to Ft. Belvoir near Washington, D.C. to an engineering school.

Shortly after, his sweetheart, Donna Frazier, took the train from Milaca, Minnesota, for a visit. Upon her arrival, a proposal was made and they were wed in Alexandria, Virginia, June 2, 1951. Reed was deployed to Korea with his brother Charles; however, they served in different locations for the same battalion. Reed’s father was taken ill and he was sent home from Korea as his position of supervising building bridges; however, he did

serve a total of 12 years and discharged as a Master Sergeant.

Reed and Donna settled down in Princeton, where Reed had his own plastering business and soon began a family of three: Jana, born in 1953, a professional dog groomer since 1967 and having her own business in Rice, Minnesota; Suzanne, born in 1955, beginning her career in law enforcement in 1974 and currently with the Billings, Montana, Police Department; and son Edward, born 1960, following in his father’s footsteps as a creative and skilled mason, carpenter and master plasterer.

As a youngster, Reed had a passion for horses and the west as well as being an avid hunter and began going out to Wyoming in the 1950s to hunt and established ties in the Sundance, Crook County area. In 1970, the family moved to the Aladdin, Wyoming, community, where Reed continued his plastering business and as a hunting guide for Bear Lodge Outfitters near Devils Tower for several years.

As a veteran, Reed was active in the Wyoming VFW and served as a Post Commander and District Commander.

Reed’s enthusiasm for new ideas led him to become the inventor of a folding stool, which initially came about due to his

relationship with Professional World Champion Wrestler Bob Backlund of Princeton, who needed something he could travel with to do the Navy step test workout. The stool resembled Devils Tower and so the “Tower Stool” company was created.

Reed and Donna moved to Faith in 1989 and opened Tower Stools on Main Street and began manufacturing folding stools and other products such as folding shooters benches, portable decoys and vaccination tables for ranch work and volleyball coach’s benches. Reed had a total of 12 patents, but also continued his contracting business (Reed’s Original Interiors) doing stucco, plaster, mason tile work as well as furniture restoration. Reed retired from work July, 2017 at the age of 88.

Reed and Donna were supportive of the Faith and South Dakota community, donating stools, podiums, lecterns and other products to non-profit organizations, fundraising events as well as Reed volunteering as Santa Claus for 11 years during the holiday season in Faith. Reed also served on the Faith Museum Board and was an active member of Bethel Lutheran Church, Faith. He was always willing to problem solve people’s furniture or construction questions when folks came into Tower

Vera Jean Gallogly On June 26, 1927, a little red-haired, green eyed girl was born in Coalville, Tennessee, to Clay Evans Jones and Estella Mae Lavender Jones. They named her Vera Jean.

She had three older brothers and later gained three sisters and another brother. Vera Jean was valedictorian of her eighth grade class.

Her love of music and singing was born and nurtured when she was young and was an abiding passion throughout her life.

The family, except for her three older brothers who were in the Army, moved to Wyoming in her late teens. She met and married Mark Moore Stevens on Valentine’s Day, 1947. The young couple homesteaded on Heart Mountain.

After having survived serving in the 2nd Marine division in the Pacific, he was tragically killed in a car wreck near Lovell, Wyoming, in September. Their daughter, Sandra Marquita, was born a month later.

A year later, she married Raymond Nore Bjornestad, a Navy veteran, who was also homesteading on Heart Mountain. Tragedy struck again when their infant daughter, Berniece, died just two months after birth.

The next eight years saw the family grow with the births of Russell Glen and Rita Ann (twins), Sonja Rae, Lyle Raymond, Howard Lee and Allen Brent. However, after 17 years of marriage, the couple divorced.

William Hugh Gallogly, an Army veteran, and she were married in 1970. They lived for some time on South Fork, then made their home in Willwood, Wyoming. Jeannie spent many of these years painting, quilting and gardening. The couple enjoyed exploring much of the country in and around the Big Horn Basin.

Bill died in 2012 in Powell, Wyoming.

Vera Jean Gallogly died at the New Horizons Care Center in Lovell, October 21, 2017, at 90 years old. She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Marquita and Ronald Graves of Moody, Texas; her sons and daughters-inlaw, Russell Bjornestad of Willwood, Lyle and Nita Bjornestad of Powell, Howard and Kathy Bjornestad of Sundance, Wyoming and Brent of Cheyenne, Wyoming; her sister, Madeliene (Peggy) Matthews of Cody, Wyoming; her brother Elmo and sister-in-law Deanna Jones of Lolo, Montana; eighteen grandchildren and numerous great-grandchildren.

Peek at the Past

125 Years Ago October 25, 1892

Forces –Ivan H. Cressman – Corp. Ivan H. Cressman, 27, entered the service here June 4, 1942 and is stationed at Camp Rucker, Alabama. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. D.F. Cressman of Sundance and has been a resident of Crook County since 1940. Following two years at BHTC he had been a teacher the six years prior to his induction. Louis F. Budmayr – Louis F. Budmayr, now a corporal, was inducted March 25, 1942 and is stationed at Camp Barkley, Tex. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Budmayr who live in northeastern Crook County. He is 23 years of age.

Welcome City Mining Camp – Hub Haverland is superintendent of the work being done on the Calanan group of tin claims and makes the round trip every day to see how the work is progressing. Now Hub is a good-natured kind of a man, but inclined to be a little tired – that is, he got tired of carrying a gun on his visits to the works.

He left the city yesterday noon on one of his trips which took him to the head of Sand Creek. A citizen told him he had better take his gun as bears are quite numerous up there; but Hub said he was not afraid of bears and he guessed they were not afraid of him. It was very near 6 o’clock when he had finished his rounds and started for home. According to his statement, as he was coming through the woods he saw something that made his hair stand on end. It looked as big as an ox. He knew it was a bear and a big one.

Well, the bear was not afraid of Hub, but Hub was afraid of the bear and he climbed a tree. How he got up he does not know, but up he got and Mr. Bear came and sat down at the foot of the tree. Hub says the bear was there as long as he could see and when it got so dark he concluded it would be safer to stay where he was until morning. It was a long night, but morning finally came. The bear had left and Hub came home just as four men were going to hunt for him. He looked very tired and said he would take a gun hereafter – even if he had to hire someone to carry it for him. (This being an election year in 1892, this was the only local news reported in the newspaper. The entire remainder of the paper was political advertising and editorials.)

50 Years Ago November 2, 1967

Out of state hunters jammed accommodations in Sundance and the surrounding area this week as the deer and turkey hunting seasons opened Wednesday.

Five county men have recently entered the armed services, either by enlistment or induction. Steven Lynn Elwonger, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wally Elwonger enlisted in the U.S. Air Force. George Lester Sherrard, son of Mr. and Mrs. Eldon Nielsen Alva, enlisted in the U.S. Army. David Wayne Willson, son of Mr. and Mrs. William C. Willson, Hulett volunteered for induction. Eddie Ray Chatfield, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Chatfield, Sundance was inducted into the Army and Leonard Merle Schleuning, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fritz Schleuning, Carlile, was inducted into the Army.

Ardith Ballou and Rod Jahnig have been selected as Students of the Month for Hulett high school.

YOUR SMILE MATTERS

By Sarah Pridgeon A place of camaraderie and good works; the American Legion in Sundance is known for its efforts to honor veterans and encourage the next generation. Right now, says Earl Gray, Crook County Post 45 is experiencing a crisis of leadership and needs participation from all veterans in the area to ensure it can continue into the future.

With the departure of Jack Lake as commander, the post has been left without clear direction, Gray explains. Though members held a meeting recently to figure out the path ahead, the work is still ongoing.

“We didn’t get too much accomplished at the last meeting but we decided to try again,” Gray says.

“We need to completely restart. Jack was the commander and he just resigned so we have to elect officers and do that over.”

Some of the American Legion’s most recognizable contributions to the community include the flags placed on every grave for Memorial Day; honor guards for military funerals; and sponsorships for students for Boys State.

Without leadership and membership, these efforts can no longer continue, Gray says.

On Monday, November 6 at 7 p.m. at the Sundance Senior Center, Legion members will discuss the situation for a second time. Gray asks all veterans to attend, stressing that your attendance could make the difference in ensuring the post’s continuance.

“We’ve got to get people there, we’ve got to get officers elected and we’ve got to move forward – or we’re going to have to fold up,” says Gray.

“We’re in need of attendance. All veterans are invited – please, please come. It’s very important because, if we don’t get something done, I don’t know what will happen.”

Operation Christmas Child It is shoebox collection time again! Many children in war-torn or thirdworld countries have never received a Christmas gift and you can make a difference in their lives through the power of a simple shoebox gift.

4-H Clubs in Crook County have been huge supporters of Operation Christmas Child and you or your club can pack your own shoebox.

Select items for one of three age groups: 2-4, 5-9 and 10-14. Suggestions for items to pack are hygiene items such as soap and washcloths, toothbrushes, combs, school supplies, toys, small games, cards, hair accessories and a stuffed animal. Items need to be new.

Do not include liquids or candy. Some great items to send for older kids are soccer balls, a hammer and nails, sewing kits, small cooking pots, cooking utensils, clothes pins, balls of string or yardages of fabric.

You can use a regular shoebox and decorate it with duct tape or wrapping paper or pick up empty shoeboxes from the Crook County Extension Office.

If you would like to donate items for a shoebox, donate money to buy items or pay the $9 per box shipping, please call or text Faith Anderson at 307-756-2141. ​The deadline to drop off items or filled shoeboxes at the extension office is November 15, 2017.

All the information is on samaratianspurse.org along with great stories of children who received a shoebox.

This Side of the Pond

St. Paul’s All Saints’ Day celebration On Sunday, October 29, Saint Paul’s confirmation students hosted their annual All Saints’ Day celebration in commemoration of the upcoming All Saints’ Day, which many know as Halloween or All Hallows Eve. The children had the opportunity to dress up as holy men and women that have come before us, to include Saint Francis, Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, Saint Kateri Tekakwitha, Saint Sebastian, Saint Joseph, Saint John Bosco and others.

They had the chance to participate in Saints’ dessert walk, guess the quantities of candies in Saints’ jars, winning the contents, Leap for the Lord races and more. A great deal of fun and fellowship was had by all! This has become an annual event and we look forward to next year with many more being able to join us.

Cheney representative to hold office hours

Jordan Fischer, Field Representative for Congressman Liz Cheney, is scheduled to hold â&#x20AC;&#x153;Office Hoursâ&#x20AC;? in Sundance from 1:30-2:30 p.m. on Tuesday, November 7 at City Hall.

Area residents are invited to visit with Fischer on an individual basis and share their views, questions or concerns regarding

the federal government. These views and comments will then be relayed to Congressman Cheney.

If residents are unable to attend at these times, and would like information or assistance, please contact Congressman Cheneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gillette office at (307) 414-1677.

list, people will know that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re serious and follow through with them,â&#x20AC;? said Kanode. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we can get this CT scanner project done and the air conditioning done, they will know that we are serious about following through with our projects and branching out.â&#x20AC;?

Kanode expressed his hope that people will understand the board is doing its best to make progress where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needed, but in a way that does not plunge the district into unmanageable debt.

Neiman further noted that the fact the board has not requested an increased mill levy while still progressing on projects to maintain and improve the clinics may reassure the public that the district is managing its money well.

Lindmier and Neiman suggested that, while the clinic project itself will need to go on hold, it may show good faith to use the Foundation money to purchase the lot on which the new building will sit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At least that would be a starting ground for us,â&#x20AC;? Neiman said.

The board agreed to begin the search for a well-placed plot for the new clinic. The project itself was placed on temporary hold until May, when the board discussed the upcoming budget.

although some has been pulled and needs to be replaced.

Chairman Sandy Neiman added that the board has applicants ready and willing to take over the Foundation from the current members. This will give the board a partner in pursuing grants and getting the clinic project up and moving, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What the people in Hulett are afraid of is that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to put every bit of money the county has in the hospital in Sundance and leave Hulett sitting out. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their fear in a nutshell,â&#x20AC;? said Neiman.

The board discussed the financials of the three clinics; the Moorcroft and Hulett clinics have historically been subsidized by the Sundance clinic, which is relatively common and normal in rural medicine. Budgeted revenue for Hulett is roughly $200,000 per year, said Erickson, and expenses are roughly $216,000.

The CT scanner, on the other hand, is expected to bring revenue in to the district. Making sure that the revenue-maker is completed before the loss-leader would thus be more financially sensible.

Game and Fish finds errors in onX HUNT Chip used by hunters The Wyoming Game and Fish Department recently discovered errors in the road data stored in a program produced by onX maps, called HUNT Chip, available for use on GPS units and computers. These onX HUNT Chips for Wyoming incorrectly show some roads in Crook County as public or county roads when they are in fact private roads.

Game and Fish has informed onX maps of the errors and are hoping they will be corrected in a timely manner. If a hunter has questions on the status of the corrections, they should contact onX maps support staff as outlined in their HUNT Chip manual.

Sundance Game Warden, Chris Teter, stated, “I’ve been getting calls about hunters accessing isolated parcels of public land by way of abandoned county roads.

Hunters were stating they followed GPS units equipped with a HUNT Chip. Unfortunately, even if they are given wrong information, it is still their responsibility

to know where they are at all times. As a reminder, all maintained county roads in Crook County are marked with a blue and yellow sign with the road number.”

“The commercial GPS chips are good, but not perfect,” said Newcastle Wildlife Biologist Joe Sandrini. “This is an example of why hunters need to use paper maps in tandem with electronic devices. People also need to remember not all the land displayed in color by the HUNT Chip or the roads with names are public.”

Wyoming law states no person shall enter private land to hunt, fish or trap without written permission from the landowner or person in charge of the property. The license must bear the signature of the landowner, or agent of the landowner, on whose property the hunting is taking place, or legitimate proof the landowner gave permission to hunt.

It is the responsibility of hunters to

know if the land is public or private. To assist in this, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has maps showing public and private lands, most of which also indicate public roads.

Hunters can obtain maps from the BLM office in Newcastle or by calling 307-7756256 or the U.S. Forest Service office in Sundance or by calling 307-283-1361.

County road maps are available at local county offices as well.

Many Wyoming sporting goods businesses also carry BLM and Forest Service maps for their local area. We encourage hunters to get their maps and study them well in advance of their hunting trip.

“The Black Hills area of Wyoming hosts around 10,000 deer hunters each year.

That is a lot of people who may have the wrong information. We are encouraging hunters who use the onX HUNT Chip in these areas to make sure they have accurate road, Forest Service or BLM maps as well,” advised Teter.

Outdoors ATTENTION BLACK BUTTES AREA LANDOWNERS

The Crook County Natural Resource District is pleased to announce their Wildland Urban Interface proposal has been approved by the Wyoming State Forestry Division and USFS to help private landowners reduce hazardous fuels in the Black Buttes area of Crook County. The objective of this program is to reduce the effects of catastrophic fire before they reach communities.

Eligible projects include densely forested areas of non-federal lands in the Black Buttes area, adjacent to federal lands. If you are interested in applying for financial assistance to reduce hazardous fuels in the Black Buttes area of Crook County, please contact Sarah Anderson at the Crook County NRD on Tuesdays or Wednesdays at 307-283-2870 extension 100 or anderson.ccnrd@gmail.com. Funding for this Program is supported by the Wyoming State Forestry Division and USFS.

National parks looking to increase fees

By Sarah Pridgeon The National Park Service (NPS) has hit the news with its proposal for a peak season fee increase at some of America’s most visited destinations. While Yellowstone and Grand Teton are among the 17 national parks listed for the possible increase, Crook County’s most famous landmark is not.

However, Devils Tower may soon implement its own fee bump; not to shore up funding for maintenance like the 17 popular parks, says Dawn Woodruff, Devils Tower National Monument, but to stay in line with NPS’s national pricing model.

“They are two separate things,” explains Woodruff. “This increase has to do with our designation as a national park. We’re designated as a national monument and all national monuments are supposed to be at $20.”

In January this year, fees were increased at the Tower to bring it in line with the group one level of the NPS pricing model. A national monument, however, should be in the second tier.

For the Tower, that meant moving up a level. Though the monument had already gone through the public process for an increase, Woodruff says, it was necessary to repeat the exercise to ensure the monument is in the right place.

The increase would see fees increase from $15 to $20 per vehicle, $7 to $10 per person and $10 to $15 per motorcycle, with an annual pass increasing from $30 to $40. If approved, Devils Tower entrance fees will be raised in January, 2018.

The increase is expected to help Devils Tower National Monument maintain the visitor experience.

“We understand that no one likes fee increases, but this fee revenue is critical in funding a wider variety of visitor services, facility improvement projects and resource protection efforts,” says Superintendent Tim Reid.

According to statistics from NPS, the Tower welcomed just

under half a million visitors in 2016, contributing $39.65 million to local communities and supporting 500 jobs. Fee revenues are described as a critical funding source for Devils Tower, with 80 percent remaining at the monument and the rest of the funds distributed among the national parks that do not collect fees.

Those who responded to the call for public comment did not appear to disagree, Woodruff says.

“There were not a lot of comments, but the ones that did come in were favorable for it,” she nods.

For the Devils Tower increase, public comments on the proposed increase were collected until August 31 and public meetings took place in Hulett and Sundance the same month. A decision has yet to be announced, says Woodruff, but is expected soon.

“If it does go into force, it will take place on the first of the year, so we have to be prepared for that,” she says.

Meanwhile, the reasoning behind the proposed increase at the 17 popular national parks is that, along with revised fees for commercial tours, it would generate badly needed revenue for improvements to aging infrastructure, including roads, bridges, campgrounds and water lines.

According to NPS, the increase would only be implemented during peak visitor seasons – the busiest five seasons of the year for each park – and would affect Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, as well as Arches, Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands, Denali, Glacier, Grand Canyon, Olympic, Sequoia & Kings Canyon, Yosemite, and Zion.

Those wishing to comment on the proposal may do so until November 23 at parkplanning.nps.gov/proposedpeakseasonfeerates. Written comments can be sent to 1849 C Street, NW, Mail Stop: 2346 Washington, DC 20240.

Meet Wyoming’s sagebrush birds A new factsheet on three Thunder Basin bird species gives a quick introduction to inhabitants of the wideopen, wildlife-rich landscapes where the Great Plains meet the sagebrush steppe.

Free from University of Wyoming Extension, Birds of Thunder Basin: Sagebrush Specialists is available at bit.ly/ UWEpubs.

The ecology factsheet describes the sage thrasher, Brewer’s sparrow and greater sage-grouse and includes a brief overview of breeding, nesting, migration and conservation status. Quick ID tips, fun facts and definitions of birding terms round out the introduc-

tions.

“Sage thrashers are superb singers,” writes Courtney Duchardt of this sagebrush specialist. “Thrashers are classified as mimids. They incorporate snippets of surrounding noises into their songs, possibly to show potential mates they are familiar with the area and will make good partners.”

Duchardt, a University of Wyoming graduate student in ecology and ecosystem science and management, spent more than 235 days (and nights) in Thunder Basin camping, photographing and conducting research.

Birds of Thunder Basin: Sagebrush Specialists is the second in a series

from University of Wyoming Extension in partnership with the Thunder Basin Research Initiative, area ranchers and energy companies, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, U.S. Forest Service and the Thunder Basin Grasslands Prairie Ecosystem Association.

The factsheet is one of more than 600 guides from UW Extension (see bit.ly/ UWEpubs) that help extend skills in cooking, canning, calving, conservation and community change, plus gardening, grazing, cropping, habitat restoration and more. YouTube video series from UW Extension include From the Ground Up, Barnyards and Backyards and Exploring the Nature of Wyoming.

Ask Game and Fish Q: How come you can shoot any pheasant in some areas and only male pheasants in others?

A: Pheasants are one of the few upland game birds where a hunter can easily tell the difference between a hen and a rooster in flight. This feature allows hunters to be selective in their harvest and gives managers the option of controlling the harvest of hens through harvest restrictions. In Wyoming, there are basically two scenarios where we allow hunters to harvest any pheasant.

The first is in some areas where we stock pheasants. The Wyoming Game and Fish Department raises 30,000+ pheasants each year at our Downar and Sheridan bird farms.

About half of those birds are hens. We only need about 1,200 hens at each location for breeding, leaving over 12,000 surplus hens each year. These surplus hens are stocked in areas that allow the harvest of any pheasant, increasing hunting opportunities. An example of this is the Springer Special Pheasant

Hunt.

We also allow hunters to harvest any pheasant in areas with marginal habitat that will not support a wild pheasant population during most years. This includes most of Wyoming, which is generally too dry and lacks adequate food resources to support wild pheasant populations.

In areas with adequate habitat capable of naturally supporting wild pheasant populations, most years, like in the Sheridan area, we have “male pheasant only” seasons. This harvest restriction protects wild hens, assuring a good breeding source for the following year.

Nutrition Talking Thanksgiving turkey The Sundance Times Page 8 Thursday, November 2, 2017

There is no doubt that a turkey is THE symbol of Thanksgiving. I have a number of shortcuts you can take in preparing your holiday turkey that are safe and can decrease the time spent in preparation. Use these tips to prepare a turkey that guests will gobble up!

When shopping for your turkey, decide on fresh or frozen. Buy a frozen turkey early to thaw it. Keep it frozen at 0°F until ready to thaw for use. To save the time and effort required to thaw a turkey, order or purchase a fresh bird ahead of time and pick it up one or two days before you’ll be cooking it. You will need one pound of turkey per guest or more if you want leftovers.

Turkeys at 18 pounds and over take longer to cook and tend to dry out in the oven, so consider buying two smaller birds, or a whole turkey and one or two breasts.

If you’re feeding a small group, you can decrease the cooking time required by purchasing a frozen turkey roll, turkey breast or your favorite turkey parts. For the ultimate in shortcuts, consider buying the turkey precooked. However, do this only if you plan to serve the bird immediately.

One shortcut not to take is to buy a pre-stuffed, raw turkey. When a turkey is stuffed, incubator-like conditions develop in the cavity of the turkey that promote bacterial growth. Stuffing, if added at all, should be placed in the turkey just prior to cooking.

If you have space in your refrigerator and have planned ahead, the easiest way to thaw your turkey is in the refrigerator. Plan on 24 hours of thawing time per 5 pounds of bird, which translates to four days for a 20-pound turkey.

One way to speed the thawing process is to submerge the turkey in cold water. However, you still need to allow 30 minutes per pound of turkey being thawed for the cold-water method and need to change the water every 30 minutes. For a 20-pound bird, this method takes 10 hours and 20 water changes.

If your turkey is small enough to fit in your microwave oven, you may want to consider microwave thawing by following recommendations in your owner’s manual. Since microwave thawing often results in a warm to partially cooked turkey exterior, it’s important to cook the bird immediately after thawing.

REMINDER: Remove the giblets from the turkey cavities after thawing. Cook them separately. Also, always wash hands, utensils, the sink and anything else that comes in contact with raw turkey and its juices with soap and water.

One shortcut not to take is to thaw the bird on the kitchen counter! This method promotes the growth of

or another we’ll get it seeded is my plan,” he says.

At the landfill, the process of capping and closing the pit is about to begin. The contractors are moving equipment in now, Erickson says.

“I anticipate dirt being pushed around there before too long,” he nods.

Finally, the company from whom the city bought a slide for the municipal pool is expected back within the next couple of weeks to install it. Erickson hopes that the slide will be in place and ready for next summer by the end of November.

bacteria on the surface of the bird as the inside of the turkey thaws.

In addition, don’t even think about partially cooking the turkey the night before, then finishing it up the next day.

This is a recipe for pathogen survival and growth. Another variation of this idea to cook the turkey all night at a very low oven setting.

For safety’s sake, cook the turkey at 325°F until a food thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh reads 165°F. Most people will consider this undercooked, so go to 175-180°F. If it is stuffed, the stuffing should also register 165°F. Don’t rely on temperature indicators, such as the red pop-ups, that are provided. These are not always accurate.

Check the temperature yourself with a food thermometer.

For some, pink in a cooked turkey raises a “red flag.” In actuality, pink meat is not a reliable indicator of doneness. Meat may have a slight pink color and still be at a safe temperature.

Always use a food thermometer to be sure. Smoked turkey typically has a pink color.

After removing the turkey from the oven, let it rest for 20 minutes before carving. Not only will it continue to cook, but letting the bird rest also helps the meat retain its juices and stay moist when carved.

Here are some additional tips: • If areas of your turkey are getting a little burnt, put aluminum foil bandages over its burnt spots.

• Worse than a burnt turkey is a raw turkey. If you realize the turkey is still raw mid-carve, don’t freak out! Arrange the fully carved turkey in the roasting pan and stick it back in the oven. Carving the turkey and re-roasting it is

also a good hack for crisper skin.

• If the turkey is dry, pour hot chicken broth gravy on top of it before you serve.

After your holiday meal, play it safe by slicing or stripping the meat from the carcass and refrigerating the stuffing and turkey separately in shallow containers. Discard any perishable food left out at room temperature longer than two hours!

Leftover turkey will keep in the refrigerator for four days.

If you have more food than you can to eat within four days, freeze it. Cooked turkey may be eaten cold or reheated.

When you’re ready to eat your leftovers, reheat them to an internal temperature of 165°F. Got more turkey questions? Don’t panic. There are plenty of places you can turn to for help.

Patriots trip up Rocky Mountain, head to second round

The Upton-Sundance Patriots moved on to the second round of the state high school playoffs with a 39-22 victory over the Rocky Mountain Grizzlies in Cowley on Friday night.

Jayden Caylor got the Pats on the board quickly, dashing in from 39 yards out for a touchdown at the 10:02 mark in the first.

Rocky quickly struck back with a 67-yard touchdown run just a minute later. A successful twopoint conversion put the Griz up 8-7.

Not down for long, the Patriots found the endzone once again with Clayton Louderback rushing in from seven yards out for their second touchdown. The extra point attempt failed and the Pats were up 13-8 as the quarter wound down.

Rocky Mountain went back up on top early in the second with a 28-yard run at 11:15, moving back in front 13-14.

A busted punt play late in the quarter turned the ball over to the Patriots deep in Rocky Mountain’s territory and set up a Louderback to Braylan Materi pass from ten yards out for another Upton-Sundance score. Louderback found Dawson Butts in the endzone for the two-point conversion and the Patriots went up 21-14 as the half ended.

As the third got underway, Lou-

derback found Payton Watt on a 27-yard touchdown pass (extra point failed) to stretch the Patriot lead to 27-14 with 9:41 to go in the quarter.

Jerett Schloredt intercepted a Rocky Mountain pass on the ensuing possession near midfield and the Patriots were on the march again. Caylor found the endzone for a second time after hauling in a Louderback pass from 13 yards out, putting the Pats up 33-14.

Rocky Mountain punched in another score with 2:47 left in the quarter and converted a twopoint conversion to close the gap and move the score to 33-22.

Their hopes were quickly dashed though as Louderback ripped off a 20-yard touchdown run in the final seconds of the third to stretch the Patriot lead out to 39-22, wrapping up the night’s scoring.

Butts led the rushing attack, piling up 201 yards on 26 carries; Louderback had 14 carries for 98 yards and two touchdowns; Caylor had ten for 80 yards and a td; Jess Claycomb carried four times for ten yards; Dillon Barritt had one for two yards.

Louderback had five completions on 13 attempts, three touchdowns and a pair of interceptions.

Watt had two catches for 42 yards and a touchdown; Ma-

teri had one for ten yards and a touchdown; Caylor hauled in one for 13 yards and a touchdown and Dillon Barritt had one for four yards.

On the other side of the ball, Caylor finished with four solo tackles, a tackle for loss and five assisted tackles; Butts had an interception, two solo and four assisted tackles; Tanner Hofland finished with a solo, eight assisted tackles and one tackle for a loss; Isaac Bishop finished with a pair of tackles for loss, two solo and two assisted tackles; Alan Baker notched three solo and five assisted tackles; Materi had a pair of pass breakups and three solo tackles; Schloredt had an interception and four assisted tackles.

The Patriots will pack up and head south once again for a rematch with Pine Bluffs on Friday night. The undefeated Hornets come into the night fresh off a 58-0 trouncing of Saratoga last week.

Game time is scheduled for 6 p.m. The winner of Friday’s game will advance to the state championship game in Laramie on Nov. 11.

On the other side of the bracket, Cokeville throttled Southeast by a score of 42-0, while Big Horn worked over Wind River 51-0. Those teams will face off in Cokeville at 1 p.m. on Friday.

Halloween Storytime

Crook County Library hosted their annual Halloween Storytime and Party on October 25. After hearing a couple of Halloween stories, the little ones had fun with six different activity stations and then of course cookies and lemonade. Ghost Bowlin’ was one of the favorite spots and most everyone made a goofy spider.
