By KVOW/KTAK News Director Leslie Stratmoen

RIVERTON, Wyo. — Just when we think the low mountain snow pack and spring’s warm, dry weather has squelched the threat of flooding rivers, we learn the same conditions have dried up the water supply.

Bill Urbigkit

Riverton’s Public Works Director Bill Urbigkit says the forecast looks bleak. So he’s asking city officials tonight to call for an emergency water conservation plan. The meeting starts at 5 at City Hall.

Urbigkit says …..

If all stays the same, he projects a water supply cut of nearly 40 percent over the summer, so says we need to move into emergency phase yellow. That means the city would ask for volunteer water conservation. If the city moves into what he calls the brown level, mandatory restrictions would go into play and fire hydrants could only be used for fires, not construction projects.

He said the shortage in water is the worst he’s seen in years, and coming so early. He remembers a water restriction order in 2001, but that was in late July. The city should be OK, he said, as long as everyone works together to start conserving water now.

President Jo Anne McFarland of Central Wyoming College said — construction has begun on the new community-supported health and science center, so the east parking lot is closed for the summer. She also said cuts were made to the budget while remaining focused on retaining programs hat provide direct services to students.

Clerk Julie Freese said – candidate filing started today for the upcoming Aug. 6 primary. She explained the procedure and gave a detailed list of what seats are open.

Bob Pingetzer said – the public is welcome to participate in the Wyoming Angus Tour this weekend in the Riverton area. They’ll be leaving at 10:30 Friday morning from the Riverton Holiday Inn and stop at Wyoming Custom Meats in Hudson then visit the Gary Frank operation in Lander and Jim Buline’s place in Crowheart before coming back to Riverton for dinner. The tour is free and continues Saturday. For more information, call 851-4401.

Pictured from left are James Hampton, Dillon Fabricus and Hayden Wempen.

Dillon Fabricus dropped by to talk — about a T-shirt sale he created to raise money for the local Tough Enough to Help Cancer Fund.

He was inspired, he said, to help raise money for local cancer families because of his friend Hayden Wempen who lost his mom, Michelle, to the disease five years ago. Their friend James Hampton who’s also helping raise funds came along, as did Michelle’s mom, Nancy.

During the show, Hayden talked about the devastating loss of his mom and his Grandma Nancy thanked the community for its ongoing support to the memory of her daughter.

Press Release, as submitted by Capt. Ryan Lee

 The Fremont County Sheriff’s Office has charged 23 year old Shane Blackburn of Riverton, with Criminal Entry and Property Destruction, after an incident that occurred at a home north of Riverton early Wednesday morning, (January4, 2012@ 1:15AM). Blackburn is alleged to have woken a 71 year old Riverton man early Wednesday morning around 1:OOAM, by beating on his door and demanding entry. The man did not know who was at the door and refused to open it. When the suspect allegedly began to kick on the door, in attempt to break it down, the victim retrieved his handgun. The suspect was eventually able to break the doorway down, and the man discharged his handgun at the intruder. The suspect then immediately fled the area. The victim was unsure if he had struck anyone after firing his weapon; Deputies were unable to locate anyone in the area after responding to the incident. Blackburn arrived at the Riverton Memorial Hospital early Wednesday morning with a gunshot wound to his left shoulder, which was not life threatening. An investigation into the incident has determined enough probable cause to believe Blackburn was responsible for the incident. The case has been forwarded to the Fremont County Attorney’s Office, further charges may be pending.

PRESS RELEASE, as submitted by Capt. C.T. Smith 

                        On Tuesday January 31, 2012 at approximately 2:14 a.m., the Riverton Police Department responded on a call of a Burglar alarm at the Woodward’s Liquor Store located at 716 N Federal Boulevard in Riverton, Wyoming. Upon arrival Officers found the store had been burglarized and it appeared a suspect or suspects had cut themselves on broken glass from the south side drive up window while entering the building due to the bloody hand prints left behind. Officers found the suspect[s] had stolen Liquor and Cigarettes from the business.

                        On Tuesday January 31, 2012 at approximately 2:24 a.m., the Riverton Police Department responded on a report of a stabbing at the Riverton Memorial Hospital. Officers found James C’hair had cuts to his hands, arm and thigh. Upon further investigation Officers found the injuries were not consistent with stab wounds but most probably consistent with someone cutting themselves on broken glass, such as climbing through a broken window. Further investigation led officers to Michael Warren who had accompanied C’hair to the hospital. Officers also found bloody clothing that was left in a vehicle by C’hair prior to entering the hospital, as well as unopened bottles of liquor and cigarettes that was consistent with items taken during the burglary. A review of the surveillance video at the burglary scene by officers, showed two individuals entering the store and committing the burglary. The suspects on the surveillance video matched the description of Warren and C’hair. Follow up investigators are continuing to investigate this case.

                        Both C’hair and Warren were found to have outstanding Warrants for their arrest and were booked into the Fremont County Detention Center on those warrants.

JACKSON-ABORTION

No problems at anti-abortion protests in Jackson

JACKSON, Wyo. (AP) — Authorities in Jackson say one citation for careless driving and two citations for destruction of property have been issued during the latest round of abortion demonstrations.

Members of Operation Save America demonstrated in the town square Wednesday. Members of a local group, Jackson Hole United, were also out warning people about graphic images being displayed by the anti-abortion group.

Teton County spokeswoman Charlotte Reynolds says there have been some complaints about noise, traffic and the groups’ signs.

Operation Save America plans to stage demonstrations through Sunday, but they won’t be in the town square on Saturday during the Boy Scouts’ annual Elkfest and antler auction.

Last week, members of a Milwaukee-based anti-abortion group also demonstrated in Jackson.

The protests follow a recent Wyoming Supreme Court ruling in favor of protesters.

SHERIDAN KILLING

Wyo. Supreme Court hears arguments in killing

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — An attorney for a Sheridan teenager serving a sentence of life without parole for a 2009 home invasion killing urged the Wyoming Supreme Court to find the teen’s sentence unconstitutional.

The court on Wednesday heard arguments in the appeal of Dharminder Vir Sen, who was convicted of killing Sheridan businessman Robert Ernst.

Law student Samantha Lind represents Sen, who was 15 at the time of the crime.

Lind told the court that society acknowledges juveniles don’t always make good decisions. She said the life sentence for Sen violates the constitutional prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment.

Assistant Attorney General Justin Daraie argued that Sen’s sentence was proper.

The court already has upheld life sentences for the other two defendants: Dennis Poitra, Jr., and Wyatt Bear Cloud.

SKI SEASON

Jackson Hole ski resorts helped by snow

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Unlike many other ski resort areas in the Rocky Mountain West, Wyoming’s premier ski area of Jackson Hole enjoyed good business this past winter thanks to better ski conditions.

stock photo

Kate Foster of the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce says lodging occupancy rates in February and March exceeded rates in 2011.

She credited a marketing campaign that targeted skiers in other Rocky Mountain states where the snow wasn’t as plentiful in Jackson Hole.

Grand Targhee Ski Resort, for instance, reported about 420 inches of snow this past season. Some major resorts in other states had less than half that amount.

Jackson Hole Mountain Resort says it ended the ski season with about 479,000 skier visits, which is the second highest in its history.

SCHOOL LEADER-THEFT

Former Wyo. Montessori director appears in court

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — A woman accused of stealing more than $66,000 from a Wyoming Montessori school can return to the Boston area while the case continues.

Teresa Meadowcroft is the former head of the Village Montessori School in Cheyenne and now lives in Massachusetts. She appeared in court Tuesday in Cheyenne for her first hearing after being charged with larceny, forgery and identity theft.

She was allowed to post a $60,000 bond and the terms allow her to return home.

Meadowcroft hasn’t entered a plea yet. Her lawyer, Robert Moxley, said that will happen at an arraignment hearing, which hasn’t been scheduled yet.

Court records say debits from the school’s bank account were made from a card in Meadowcroft’s name for non-school-related items.

CAPITOL SECURITY

Report raises Wyoming Capitol security concerns

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — A security assessment of the State Capitol building in Cheyenne questions the state’s ability to respond to or prevent a violent incident.

Specifically, the assessment advised that Wyoming should increase its security staffing levels if it wants to continue the Capitol’s open environment.

The security assessment was performed by Colorado law enforcement agencies, including its State Patrol and Office of Homeland Security, who visited Cheyenne during the past legislative session.

The full report is confidential because of its sensitive security details.

Wyoming Highway Patrol Lt. Klief Guenther briefed lawmakers on some of the assessment’s findings during a recent legislative meeting.

He said possible solutions include adding security checkpoints or metal detectors or boosting security staff. Currently nine full-time troopers are responsible for patrolling the Capitol.

RESERVATION WOLF

Wolf found dead in SD came from Yellowstone

PINE RIDGE, S.D. (AP) — A federal wolf specialist says a gray wolf found dead on South Dakota’s Pine Ridge Reservation came from Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming.

Mike Jimenez with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says information from a tracking collar identifies the wolf as a 3- to 4-year-old male that was part of a pack in the southeast part of Yellowstone. He says the wolf made the 400-mile journey to southwest South Dakota in less than two months.

The wolf was found dead along U.S. Highway 18 near the town of Pine Ridge, apparently struck by a vehicle late Sunday or early Monday. South Dakota does not have a resident wolf population, but the animals sometimes wander in from other areas.

WYOMING TRACK-UPTON THROWER

Upton thrower seeks to break Godina discus record

CASPER, Wyo. (AP) — The Wyoming State High School Track and Field Championships are set for this week in Casper.

The meet begins Thursday and runs through Saturday.

Upton senior Kevin Allen is looking to challenge a long-standing record in the discus.

Allen tossed the discus 204 feet, 4 inches at the Class 1A East Regional meet last weekend in Cheyenne.

The state record is 210 feet, 4 inches set by former Cheyenne Central standout and Olympic medalist John Godina 22 years ago.

Allen already owns the Class 1A record in the discus (187-7), which he set last year. And he’s attempting a four-peat in the discus and a two-peat in the shot put.

Allen will throw at Utah State in college.

RIVERTON, Wyo. — Riverton city officials plan to demolish an old cleaners building on Main Street, build an office for a state investigating agency in the business park by the community airport and extend Broadway north to Webbwood Road. The cost of the three projects totals $758,000.

The most expensive is the extension of the road, coming in at $683,000. City leaders say the extension will provide the alternate route needed through town when the state transportation department rebuilds North Federal two years from now. The underground utilities are already in place.

Mayor Ron Warpness was skeptical about the city paying for a new facility for the Division of Criminal Investigation. But Councilman Lars Baker thinks the $53,000 to be spent on the project is a good investment. Doing the work there will be the Sehnert construction company of Riverton.

Demolition costs to tear down the old Daisy Cleaners building on the Main Street corner across from the Post Office comes in at $22,000. Once the building’s down, the city plans to put the property up for sale. It was purchased for $60,000.

Bornhoft Construction of Riverton has been contracted to extend the road and demolish the building.

Fremont County Deputy Sheriff Kevin Rieman and Midvale Fireman David Knoepke delivered a baby early this morning at 4:20AM at an address in the Lost Wells Butte area. They were assisted by Fremont County Communications Deputy Jennifer Keel, who provided instructional information over the telephone during the delivery. Mother and baby were reportedly doing fine.

RIVERTON, Wyo. — The Fremont County Coroner and Commissioners are still butting heads over marking county coroner vehicles.

The power struggle escalated Tuesday afternoon when Coroner Ed McAuslan told the commission he had the authority to make the call because he’s an elected official who knows what’s best for his department. The commissioners countered by saying they had the authority to demand identifying graphics because the vehicles are owned by the county.

Travis Becker

When the coroner refused the order, Commissioner Travis Becker suggested taking away county coroner vans and making deputies use their own personal vehicles to transport bodies, then be reimbursed for mileage.

Coroner McAuslan said the idea was ridiculous because a personal vehicle could not complete the task. He went on to say having the word “coroner” printed on his vehicles would create problems by announcing their arrival and inviting onlookers who could compromise crime scenes and impede investigations.

The commissioners might better understand, he said, if they rode along with him on a case. It’s an offer, he said, he’s made repeatedly but none have accepted. Furthermore, he said he’s more qualified to make the call because he has nearly 40 years in the department and they have none.

“You’ve never even come to my office,” he went on to say and “until you do that, I don’t think you’re qualified to make this decision.”

US Energy, mining opponents discuss land exchange

Staff and Wire Reports

RIVERTON, Wyo. – The U.S. Energy company of Riverton may scrap its plans to mine molybdenum at an old mining site near Crested Butte, Colorado, in exchange for land or some other trade.

Company officials started talking about alternatives in June with town leaders and members of two groups opposing the plan – the High Country Citizens’ Alliance and the Red Lady Coalition. Red Lady is the nickname for the Mount Emmons area being talked about because of its reddish soil.

Earlier this week, the company said it would consider returning its land and mining claims in the Gunnison National Forest to the federal government in an exchange. Dan Morse of High Country Citizens’ Alliance says details have not been decided, but land, cash, timber, rights for other minerals have been discussed as possible items for the exchange.

U.S. Energy Corporation President Mark Larsen said he doesn’t want to give up what he called a “world-class” deposit for nothing. U.S. Energy believes there could be 800 million pounds of molybdenum at Mount Emmons that could keep a mine running for 50 years with long-term jobs.

The company estimates its assets there could be worth $50 to $100 million, though a final valuation would depend on a federal appraisal. For now, U.S. Energy is moving forward on talks for the exchange, while proceeding with efforts to gain a federal permit to mine at Mount Emmons in case the exchange falls through.

REFINERY FIRE

Worker injured in Wyo. refinery fire moved to Utah

By KVOW/KTAK News Director Leslie Stratmoen

RAWLINS, Wyo. — Now, here’s a follow-up to a story we brought you last week about a fire at an oil refinery that injured four people. Two of the three taken to a hospital in Colorado were released this week, but a third, identified as Tim Bjork was transferred to a burn center in Salt Lake City.

BARK BEETLE HEARING

Bark beetle battle focusing on flexibility

A Wire Report

MONTROSE, Colo. – In other news, forest managers are asking for greater flexibility to deal with a bark beetle epidemic that has ravaged forests in the Rocky Mountain West. According to recent reports, witnesses stated at a congressional hearing Monday that the epidemic poses a serious threat to local communities and firefighters.

They told the panel it can take up to a year and a half to get permission to take action and by that time, it is often too late. An aerial survey last year showed about 4.6 million acres in Colorado, South Dakota and Wyoming had been affected since the first signs of the outbreak in 1996. That’s up from about 4.3 million acres just two years ago.

The following reports are provided by the Lander Police Department. All those arrested are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
