Medicine Bow Fuel and
Power, LLC (MBFP) will
present their six-month
update to the Industrial
Siting Council (ISC) at
7:30 p.m. tomorrow at the
Hanna Recreation Center.
Last December, MBFP
was awarded a 39-month
extension on their permit
to construct a coal to liquids fuel plant near Elk
Mountain.
One condition of the permit was to hold a public
update every six months.
According to the Wyoming
Department of Environmental Quality/ISC public
notice published in the
Saratoga Sun, the public
meetings are to include a
progress report which includes a time line that has
critical path key dates and
significant events leading
to the recommencement
of construction for the
project.
MCFP is part of DKRW,
a parent company owned
by former Enron employees.
The company has been
planning the coal-to-liquid plant since 2007.
In June, Wade Cline,
executive vice president
of construction for DKRW,
reported they were working on the Engineering
Procurement and Construction (EPC) agreement and that Sinopec,
the engineering company
they had hired was not
meeting deadlines. Sinopec was released and as of
the June meeting DKRW
was negotiating with other engineering companies.
Since the June 26, 2014
meeting, DKRW has not
made a public announcement about which company has been chosen for the
EPC agreement.
The Front End Engineering Design (FEED)
study, which is a detailed
blueprint of the project
was to be completed during
the second half of 2014.
Cindy Wallace, Carbon
County’s Economic Development Director, has not
received any new information from Bob Kelley,
vice president of DKRW.
Kelley reported to Wallace
in August of 2014, the
company is still working
on finding an EPC contractor and working on
funding.
Calls to Cline had not
been returned as of press
time.

Lillian Erna Turner, 96 of
Rawlins, Wyo., passed away
on Dec. 3, 2014.
Lillian was born
in Coalmont, Colo., on April
22, 1918 to Harvey Oliver and
Erna Lena (Wackwitz) Turner. In 1939, she graduated
from Jackson County High
School in Walden, Colo. She
continued her education and
received a Bachelor of Science
Degree in Sociology and Education with a minor in Biology from Colorado State University in 1940. Lillian taught
all eight grades for two years
in a one room country school
before attending Bryn Mawr
summer school of Nursing
in 1942. She completed her
Bachelor of Science Degree of
Nursing at Columbia University Presbyterian Hospital in
New York City in 1945.
Lillian joined the Army
Nurse Corp in 1945 and was
stationed in the Pacific Basin
spending time in the Philippines during her Army
service. She was honorably discharged from the Army in
1946 and moved to Fairbanks, Alaska where she
was the campus nurse and
house mother in the women’s
dorm for three years at the
University of Alaska. She
then spent three years as
the head nurse at the Group
Health Hospital in Seattle,
Wash. Lillian was the advisor to the head nurse in the
Hospital in America Samoa,
Pago Pago for six years
and then head nurse in the
Memorial Hospital in Twin
Falls, Idaho for a year before
traveling to Aruba working
as a nurse from 1961-1963. In 1964 she was employed
by the Public Health Service
and was stationed in Vietnam. She spent 1964 to 1969
in DaNang commissioned by
the Navy as a Lieutenant
Commander working with
the youth aid program. She
then worked for the State
Department in 1970 to 1972
stationed in Saigon working
in an ER hospital and a communicable diseases hospital.
Between her tours in Vietnam, she also attended graduate school at the University
of Hawaii for a time. She
was a nurse advisor in a hospital on the Island of Truk
in the Micronesia Islands
in 1972 to 1974 and then
she returned to Saigon from
1974 to 1975 as a member
of the Children’s Medical
Relief International working
in a rehabilitation and plastic surgery hospital. After
returning from Vietnam she
returned to Hanna, Wyo.,
and began the next chapter
of her life.
Lillian started her physician assistant training at
the University of Utah in
1976 and in 1978, she received her certification as a
Physician Assistant.
She worked at the Wagon Circle Medical Clinic in
Rawlins from 1978 to 1989
and then ran the Energy Basin Medical Clinic in Hanna,
from 1989 to 1996.
In 1992, she was awarded
the Wyoming Association of
Physician Assistant of the
Year Award and in 1993,
received the National Humanitarian Physician Assistant of the Year award from
the American Academy of
Physician Assistants for her
outstanding service.
Lillian was selected and
had the great honor to be
on the last Honor Flight of
WWII veterans in Wyoming
to Washington D.C. in 2010. She was the only female in
the group and the second
oldest at the age of 92. She
said that the experience “far
exceeded her expectations”.
Lillian loved to garden,
read, sew, comb the beaches,
wood carving and was a huge
Denver Broncos football fan. She had a very caring heart
for children. She wanted to
hug and hold them all.
Lillian is survived by
two sisters, Viola “Millie”
Mooring, of Hanna, Wyo.,
and Patricia (Pat) and
husband Ron Sanders, of
Casper, Wyo. She has many
nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, greatgreat nieces and great-great
nephews.
Lillian is preceded in death
by her parents, Harvey and
Erna; brothers Charles
(Chuck), Herb, Harvey, Richard (Bucky) and Robert (Bob)
and two sisters, Hazel and
Marilyn.
Lillian was a wonderful
person who spent her life
caring for others. When asked why she never
married she would simply
reply, “I don’t have time”. Lillian is greatly loved and
will be missed.
No services are scheduled
at this time.

The Saratoga Planning
Commission agreed to let
residents decide height of
front-yard fencing.
The commission elected to
confirm with town attorney
Tom Thompson if front-yard
fence heights that exceed the
current fencing ordinance
could be covered under a
variance. Commission members said that way residents
would be able to sign off on
any dramatic changes to
fencing.
“Instead of having a blanket ordinance cover the
whole town, let’s let the town
decide,” planning commission member Greg Cooksey
said.
Under a variance, all residents within a three-hundred foot radius would have
to sign off any changes to a
building which diverges from
the town’s zoning code. A
variance has to meet eight
different criteria before it
can be approved by the planning commission.
However, Town Engineer
and Zoning Officer said after
conversations with Thompson, fencing may not be
covered by a variance. The
board voted to have Bartlett
double-check with Thompson on that matter.
“To deviate from any ordinance, you have to have
a variance … I would like
confirmation from the town
attorney,” planning commission member Tom Knickerbocker said.
The current fencing ordinance states any front
yard fence over 42 inches
must have 50 percent visibility. The planning commission wanted to change
that height to accommodate
builders with more practical
material length
Council members
on boards
The new administration
Mayor-elect Ed Glode said
there are benefits to maintaining council members as
voting members on various
town boards and commissions. The Planning Commission’s bylaws state a
council member can sit on
the board, but cannot be a
voting member.
Glode served as a member
on several boards during
his term as a councilman
and he said he felt council
members sitting on boards
was beneficial to the town.
However, Glode said councilpersons typically did not
attend meetings where they
could not vote.
While the planning commission agreed there needs
be a better relationship
between the council and
boards, the commission was
skeptical about letting council members vote on the
board and on the council.
They claim their voice would
not be heard if a council
member disagrees from the
rest of the board.
Glode said he will present
the idea of letting council
members vote at his first
Jan. 6, 2015 town council
meeting. No vote was held
at the planning commission
meeting.
The next Saratoga Planning Commission meeting
will take place at 5:30 p.m.
on Jan. 13, 2015, at Saratoga
Town Hall.

Martin thanked for
16 years of service
By Erik Gantt
sunsports@union-tel.com
Mary Martin was thanked
for 16 years of dedicated service by Mayor Greg Salisbury
and the rest of the Encampment Town Council at her last
regular meeting of the council
on Friday. The occasion was
commemorated with a plaque
presented to Martin during the
meeting.
“I’ve had some amazing
councils over the years, and
amazing projects that we’ve
worked for. From the water
plant — that’s how long I’ve
been here — to the playground
equipment, and the opera
house and of course this building [the Town Hall]. I challenge
the next council to do just as
much or more.”
Salisbury asked Martin if
she would consider heading the
town’s recreation department,
but Martin declined, for now.
According to Ken Schwerdt,
an engineer with PMPC, the
State Land and Investment
Board approved all of the
Countywide Consensus grants
last Thursday. This means that
the proposed Town of Encampment project to upgrade fire hydrants and water lines around
town should proceed in 2015.
At the behest of Salisbury,
the town is planning to keep
all of the work for the project
in-house rather than contract
it out to private firms.
Chief of Police Grayling
Wachsmuth said he will not
pursue a Wyoming Office of
Homeland Security Law Enforcement Prevention Terrorism Activities (LEPTA)
grant because it will require
too much work and has too
many restrictions on equipment use to be of value to the
town. “I don’t think the grant
is worth going for with all of
the paperwork and all of the
restrictions.”
Wachsmuth is seeking a little
more than $1,000 for a new taser and the LEPTA grant could
provide up to $4,131.61. Right
now the Encampme nt police
are borrowing a taser from the
Saratoga Police Department.

Valley News
Pet owners asked to
control dogs around
wintering wildlife
Staff report
Cold temperatures and
heavy snowfall that typically take place during winter
in Wyoming mountain areas
not only leads to a change in
activities for Wyomingites,
but for wildlife as well.
As winter progresses,
more and more big game
animals move out of the
locations where they spend
much of the year and into
lower lying areas to spend
the cold weather months.
With the onset of winter,
big game animals, especially
deer and pronghorn often
move considerable distance
and it is inevitable that
this migration sometimes
brings the animals into areas where people live and
recreate. One of the ever
present problems facing
wildlife is conflicts with dogs
as the movement of big game
animals brings them close
to outlying subdivisions in
search of food.
In recent weeks, conflicts
have occurred in and near a
number of Wyoming commu-
nities. In Jackson, the Game
and Fish office has received a
number of reports of conflicts
between dogs and deer and
moose. In one case, a deer
had to be put down due to
its injuries from a dog and in
another instance a dog was
injured by a cow moose.
Game and Fish stresses
this is the most vulnerable
time of the year for wildlife
as food is harder to come by
and the fat reserves animals
have built up during the
summer are being used up.
Even if the animal is not
actually caught and killed
by a dog the stress of being chased causes it to use
important energy reserves
that could be better used
obtaining food.
Under Wyoming law, dogs
that are found chasing big
game animals may be killed
by wildlife officers and the
pet owners may be cited.
Even though the owners
may not know their dogs are
chasing wildlife, a citation
can still be issued.
Service (SCWEMS) grant requests, Cindy Hamilton noted
that she would like to see
SCWEMS better represent
themselves and their proposed
actions at future town council
meetings. Hamilton noted ratification of a letter supporting
a grant request for pediatric
child restrains was not passed
at the previous town council
meeting because, “there was
just an assumption that if they
bring something to us, that
we’ll pass it. I would just like
to have a little more representation to describe what they
actually are doing.”
The town of Encampment
will hold its annual Christmas
Light Contest this year. The
judging will commence at dark
on Dec. 21.
The town is planning to research a future waste to fuels
program for the county. The topic is expected to be discussed at
the next Carbon County Council
of Governments meeting.
The next regular meeting of
the Encampment Town Council will be 7 p.m., Jan. 8 at the
Encampment Town Hall.

Opinion/Editorial
A warm heart for Christmas
I
am darn proud of the
people I am surrounded
by in the Platte Valley
this Christmas.
Largely because of my duties with the Saratoga Sun,
I have become more aware
of the amount of giving and
holiday spirit in the Valley
than I was during my first
two Christmas’ here.
My family has a tradition,
started by my sister-in-law,
of the adults giving to each
other’s charities of choice
instead of piling gifts on
each other. The children
are exempt from this and
are generally spoiled which
ensures the family Christ-
mas tree is not lacking for
presents underneath it. As
adults, we have decided that
we are fortunate enough to
be able to get ourselves and
our families anything we
really need and that money
spent at Christmas-time is
better spent to help those
either less fortunate or to
support causes such as a cure
for ovarian cancer. Both of
my sisters-in-law are ovarian
cancer survivors.
Around the Valley, my heart
has been warmed through
charitable causes like the
Giving Tree sponsored by the
Valley Services Organization,
the Helping Hands annual

Thanksgiving Dinner, the
Festival of Trees put on by the
Saratoga/Platte Valley Chamber of Commerce and most
recently seeing the Saratoga
Elementary kid’s Christmas
cards to a dying girl in Utah. I
say kudos to you Platte Valley
for the time and effort to give
to others, especially those less
fortunate during this holiday
season.
I have also been able to
enjoy several Christmas arts
events, which have helped
keep me humming Christmas
songs for days on end. Thank
you to all of those brave
enough to sing and play in
choirs and bands in Encampment and Saratoga.
So far I have been able to
enjoy the Encampment school
band and choir, the Saratoga community choir and
the Saratoga Honor Society
caroling at Deseret Health
and Rehab. As a musician I
have a great deal of respect
for anyone willing to perform
in public and share their gifts
openly.
I hope those of you who can
afford to do so think about
donating time, money or gifts
to the cause of your choice.
Maybe it’s the socialist in me,
but I think our world can be a
better place if we give a little
help where we can. I don’t
know of a major religion that
doesn’t preach this principle.
In parting, I want to wish
everyone a Merry Christmas,
Happy Hanukkah, Heri za
Kwanzaa or whatever observance your family makes or
does not make at the end of
this year. Here is to a bright
and fruitful new year to all.
Homeland security doesn’t twist arms
Editor,
I would like to comment on
the article in the December
10th Saratoga Sun “Police
Chief Combats WOHS.”
The so called “Red Tape”
that was referred to when
accepting the grants has
always been a requirement
for the grants. However
for years the sub-recipients
of those grants have been
spoiled, we were allowed to
purchase pretty much what
we wanted from our wish
lists. Wish lists are those
items that the city councils
or commissioners may not
normally approve the purchase of out of our budgets.
In the past Wyoming Homeland Security has been lenient with the sub-recipients
on these requirements, they
are now telling us we will
follow those requirements if
we want the grant monies.
Homeland Security doesn’t
twist any sub-recipients
arm when they make grant
monies available. The grant
agreement goes before the
City Council or the County
Commissioners and they are
the first ones to decide if they
are going to accept the grant
monies. Once the council
or commission accepts the
grant, not only do they sign
the grant agreement but
Errata
Sophomore Sarah Burton was inadvertently left off
of the return roster in the article about the Saratoga
Panthers in the Dec. 10 edition of the Saratoga Sun.
The staff at the Saratoga Sun apologizes for the error.
the department head of the
department receiving the
grant also signs off on it. At
any time those department
heads don’t want the grant
monies all they have to do is
tell their council or commission and simply not sign the
acceptance documentation.
However when those Grant
Agreements are signed the
sub-recipient is agreeing to
follow the guidelines and
requirement of the grants.
These requirements may
change from grant cycle to
grant cycle depending on
what FEMA is focusing on
out of the 31 Core Capabilities. They must also
be measurable and result
driven. One of the other requirements is that the town
or county must have adopted
the National Incident Manage System/ Incident Command System for the process
of handling major incidents
be it terrorist, manmade
disaster or natural disaster.
This present grant cycle is
focusing on the Whole Community. The Whole Community concept has been
around for years but is now
more of a focus point. They
want to see Whole Community involvement when
we are updating or writing
new plans. They want to see
more community outreach to
organizations such as Faith
Based, Non-Governmental
organizations, schools, and
many more.
Having us fill out the project work sheets is just getting us ready for the requirements that are yet to come.
In the near future funding
will be determined by project
based. I filled out five project
worksheets so far for this
grant cycle, I spent less than
an hour filling out all five
worksheets estimated to be
over twelve thousand dollars
for these projects, which is
a good return for an hour of
my time.
The Sun quoted from the
2014 Funding Opportunity
Announcement from page
four “Funding Opportunity
Announcement”. I would like
to quote the last paragraph
under the same heading as
the quote.
All three programs are
founded on risk driven, capabilities-based strategic plans.
These strategic plans outline
capability requirements and
inform how available funding
may be applied to manage
risk. For these plans to be effective, government officials
and elected leaders, working
with the Whole Community,
must consider how to sustain
current capability levels and
address potential gaps to
prevent, protect, mitigate,
respond to, and recover from
acts of terrorism and other
disasters.

INCREASED REGISTRATION FEES FOR HOUSE TRAILERS (CAMPERS)
New legislation effective January 1, 2015 requires that all house trailers (campers, toy haulers and horse
trailers with living quarters) be charged a state fee based on weight rather than a flat $15.00 fee on the
registration. The new fee may be as much as $60.00 and will follow the same sliding scale already in use
for all other types of trailers. All state fee collections are transmitted directly to the Wyoming Department of Transportation.
The County Treasurer and County Clerk encourage new owners of house trailers to have them weighed

“Just Press Play”
We will be out collecting
gets second-place nod Saturday, Dec. 20 at noon.
By Liz Wood
The Encampment yearbook staff earned second
place at the 1A state yearbook competition for their
2014 yearbook “Just Press
Play”.
Karie Russell, who is in
her third year as editor of
the yearbook, said she is
most proud of the videos in
the yearbook.
Rick Martin, Encampment’s yearbook advisor,
introduced an idea of adding
a video to last year’s team of
Russell and Kaylyn Wessel.
Russell said she thought it
was a really cool idea.
According to Russell, the
judges agreed, it was a “cool
new thing to try”. Not many
yearbooks submitted had
tried the idea, Russell said.
Russell would video events
like plays, games, competitions and graduation. In
the 2014 yearbook, the staff
created a little tiger named
Beazley and when the mobile device scans Beazley’s
face, videos come up.
To download the application, people follow the
instructions in the yearbook.
Russell said she really
liked the idea because “In a
couple of years, we want to
go look back and see those
fun times and special moments.”
“It was a lot of work,”
Russell said. She and Wessel spent time volunteering
during the events, after
school and even after graduation to complete the yearbook. Afterward, she edited
the video and uploaded it to
the internet site. Not only
did they take videos, but
they photos for the yearbook
too.
With only two students
and one advisor, it took extra time to set up the videos
for the yearbook, Russell
said.
Russell has been the yearbook editor all three years of
her high school career. The
first year, it took hard work
to earn the position of editor, she said. The following
years, she had the experience, and continued to hold
the editor position.
Russell said she has
thought about going into
journalism, but she is not
sure yet.
Her favorite part of being
an editor is designing the
cover and the templates.
“Making sure they turn out
perfect and exactly how I
want (the templates).”
The worst part of being
an editor is the fact it is
more work. She continues
to be the editor because she
enjoys doing it and wants
to make sure the yearbook
turns out being the best it
can be.
In the yearbook classroom,
the students write the stories, write cutlines, design
templates and sell advertising to raise money to publish
the yearbook.
“It is a lot harder than
people think it probably
is,” Russell said. She said
it gives her insight on what
it is like to publish a book,
a yearbook or a newspaper.
This year, Russell has
extra help as three students
are signed up for the yearbook class.

Elvira Cerise on her 95th birthday at her home in Saratoga. She was joined by her
son, daughter, granddaughter and great grandchildren.
You may call her ‘Nana’
Elvira Cerise celebrates 95 years of mountain life
By Erik Gantt
Everyone around Saratoga
calls her “Nana” and she celebrated her 95th birthday on
Nov. 11.
Elvira (pronounced Elveera)
Cerise has a thick Italian
accent, but was born in Florence, Colo., not Florence,
Italy. “When I call people
up I don’t have to say this is
Elvira.”
Cerise’s father was working
as a miner in Florence when
she was born. Her mother had
moved from Italy to Snowmass, Colo. before ending up
in Florence, Colo.
In the “Old Country”, her
parents families were from
the farming valley of Aosta,
not too far from the Swiss
border in norther Italy. Aosta
is high in the Alps.
Her parents were not fond
of mining and their lifestyle in
Florence, Colo., so they moved
the family to Aosta when Elvira was only 5 years old.
Her family lived a farmbased life while in Aosta.
While their home was not a
true vineyard, her father sold
wine without a license and her
mother rented houses. Cerise
has fond memories of climbing
chestnut trees, picking grapes
and helping with the farm animals at their home in the Alps.
At home, they spoke a mixture of Swiss and Italian.
“With mommy and daddy we
talked our own patois, our
own language,” Cerise said.
She spent about 10 years in
Italy before moving in with
her aunt and uncle in Leadville, Colo. Neither her two
sisters, who were also born
in Colorado, or her brother
wanted to move to the United
States, so she made the jour-
ney alone.
“I almost croaked when
I saw Leadville. Not dirty,
more rock, no tree, no fruit,”
Elvira said. She credits Leadville as the reason she is
always buying fruit.
When she moved back to
the United States, Cerise
did not speak English and
she was placed with the first
grade class in Leadville to
learn the language, even
though she was a teenager.
Cerise married in 1939, to
a man whose parents had
known her parents before
they moved back to Italy.
She was initially attracted
to her husband because he
could speak the same patois
of Swiss and Italian.
Her husband and her uncle
both worked at the smelter in
Leadville. Once the smelter
closed her husband was without a job for a time until he
began working at the Climax
Molybdenum mine outside of
Leadville. After he lost his job
at the smelter Cerise decided
to follow the example of her
sisters in Italy and open her
own business.
She took out a loan and
built the Alps Motel in Leadville. A business she owned
and operated until 1994 when
she moved to Saratoga to
get her husband to a lower
elevation. While Saratoga is
at 6,791feet, Leadville is at
10,152 feet.
Cerise’s daughter, Betty
McIlvaine, was already living
in Saratoga and she found her
parents a quaint house in the
downtown area. Cerise said
it took some getting used to
since their house in Leadville
was large, and the Saratoga
house was a “little-tiny cracker house”.

Cerise said she is quite happy with the house now and
it is plenty big for her. Her
husband died in 1995.
Over the years, Cerise has
been back to Italy 20 times.
She has taken her children,
all of her grandchildren, and
one of her great-grandchildren to their ancestral home.
As a comparison, Cerise
noted that when her family
returned to Italy in 1923 it
took two weeks on a steam
ship to get from New York
to Genoa, Italy. When she
returned to Italy in 1955 on
the Queen Mary, the trip
only took five days, but it
cost $3,000 for the round trip
for her and her daughter. It
was so expensive she thought
she may never make the trip
again.
Cerise has enjoyed her time
in Saratoga. “I’m happy here
because it’s small. In the
Old Country we come from a
small place. And Leadville it
was 8,000,” Cerise said. Even
though she prefers to live in
the United States over Italy,
Cerise said, “The Old Country always stick to my heart,
and I was only over there 10
years.”
She also said she likes Saratoga because, “Saratoga is a
quiet place, you don’t have to
lock your car, you don’t have
to lock your door. But I see
people going to the store and
they lock their door. Crazy
people.”
Throughout her years in
Saratoga, Cerise has been
focused on helping to raise
her grandchildren and
great-grandchildren. She is
an active member of St. Ann’s
Catholic Church and was
a member of the Saratoga
Catholic Women’s group.

A lifetime of Christmas cards
SES students give support to a dying girl
By Erik Gantt
In a heartwarming gesture,
the participants in Saratoga
Elementary’s Friday activities
made Christmas cards for a 6
year-old Utah girl who is not
expected to live to see next
Christmas.
The Utah girl’s name is Addie
Lynn and she lives in Fountain
Green. A Facebook community
called Little Addie has been
created to share her story.
Tiffany Herring, Friday Coordinator for Saratoga Elementary School (SES), saw
the community page and “It
made me bawl, because my
daughter is 6 years old and I
can’t imagine what that family
is going through.”
According to the Facebook
page, Addie has an undiagnosed brain disease from which
“her brain is basically shrinking
and filling with fluid (diffuse atrophy) this is causing her loss of
motor skills.” The disease will
eventually kill Addie, and the
family has said they will lose
her mentally before they lose
her physically. “Every morning
we pray that she hasn’t forgotten us in her sleep.”
In the face of this adversity,
the family has asked for “a
lifetime of Christmas cards.
Enough to cover every wall in
her house.”
Herring had the children at
SES make cards during a Friday activity where they were
also making presents for their
own families. About 50 children participated. “The kids
are so focused on what they are
going to get, it’s really good for
them to think about giving,”
Herring said.
Addie has been getting cards
and gifts from around the
world. These gifts include hand
drawn portraits of Addie, donations to her medical fund and
even a Bronze Star given by an
American serviceman.
For more information on Addie
or to participate in her Christmas you can find her Facebook
community at https://www.

Saratoga graduate assists in Orion spacecraft launch
University of Wyoming
Two University of Wyoming
graduates played key roles in
last week’s successful NASA
test flight of a spacecraft
designed to eventually take
humans to Mars.
Griffin Corpening, formerly
of Saratoga,who earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees
in civil engineering from UW
in 1977 and 1984, was part
of the Mission Management
Team that guided decisions
during the launch of the Orion
spacecraft as well as coordinated NASA flight readiness
reviews and the assessment
of the Delta IV Heavy Rocket
that carried the craft into
space. He serves as deputy
manager for technical integration in NASA’s Orion Flight
Test Management Office, a
position in which he will help
with future Orion flight tests.
Allen Bucher, who received
a bachelor’s degree in computer science from UW in 1984,
led the ground data system
team that was responsible for
making sure that all six NASA
control rooms supporting the
mission, and the spacecraft,
were able to communicate
with one another. He’s the
CEO and owner of Advanced
Solutions Inc., which provided
the services under a contract
with Lockheed-Martin, NASA’s prime contractor for
building Orion.
“The successes of these two
outstanding alums show that
not even the sky is the limit
for students who attend UW,”
says Al Rodi, interim dean of
UW’s College of Engineering
and Applied Science. “We’re
extremely proud to be associated with these space industry
leaders.”
Friday’s test flight, the first
time in 42 years that a spacecraft built for humans has left
low-Earth orbit, was deemed
a great success after Orion
soared 3,604 miles above
Earth and returned safely
hours later. While the craft
didn’t carry any people in
this flight, it is designed to
take astronauts on deep space
missions, including to Mars,
in the future.
“It appears that Orion and
the Delta IV Heavy (rocket)
were nearly flawless,” program manager Mark Geyer
told reporters on Friday.
Corpening, has had a tremendously successful and
lengthy career with NASA.
In addition to his work on
the Orion EFT-1 craft, he
led the technical team that
successfully flight tested the
Orion Launch Abort System
on May 6, 2010, at the U.S.
Army’s White Sand Missile
Range near Las Cruces, N.M.
The system is used to provide
a safe escape for the crew in
the event of an emergency.
Along with his work in the
Orion program, he was the
chief engineer for the unpiloted X-43A scramjet at NASA’s
Dryden Flight Research Center in California. That scramjet traveled at a record speed
of 5,000 mph, more than seven
times the speed of sound, in
2004.
After earning his degrees
from UW, Corpening went on
to receive a Ph.D. from the
University of Maryland in
aeronautical engineering. Before going to work for NASA,
he worked for four years at
the Johns Hopkins University
Applied Physics Laboratory in
Columbia, Md.
“As I get older, I have come
to really appreciate the opportunities provided me by the
University of Wyoming and
would very much like to share
my fortunate experiences,”
Corpening wrote in an email
to UW Professor Jonathan
Naughton in the College of
Engineering and Applied Science. “Maybe, in some small
way, I can help encourage
others to think about taking
up the engineering calling.”
As for the Orion test flight,
Corpening credited his fellow
UW alumnus, Bucher, and his
team for making sure all the
voice and video links were in
place to support the mission.
The six control rooms were
spread across the country; an
avionics lab in Denver also
was tied in; and there were
many video feeds on both the
East Coast and at the recovery
site in the Pacific Ocean 270
miles west of Baja, Calif.
“All this worked flawlessly
because of the effort of Allen’s
team tying everything together,” Corpening wrote.
Bucher, originally from
Thermopolis, received his
master’s degree in computer
science from the University
of Colorado in 1989 after his
undergraduate work at UW.
He worked for Lockheed-Martin before his career with Advanced Solutions Inc. He has
helped provide ground voice
and data communication systems for numerous space missions, including 12 unmanned
planetary spacecraft missions.
“The Orion team is one of a
kind, and it is exciting to see
the public excited about space
science and exploration again.
I am honored to be part of this
team,” Bucher says. “I always
have been and always will be
very proud to be a UW alum.
The UW experience prepared
me with a great educational
background and work ethic
that has served me well in my
career.”
NASA says the next Orion
spacecraft also will fly without astronauts on board, but
it will make a much longer
flight, this time going around
the moon. NASA and its commercial partners are designing Orion to take astronauts
to a near-Earth asteroid in
the 2020s, and to Mars and
its moons in the 2030s.

Tigers tip off season with wins
By Mike Dunn
Some games were prettier than others — but any
way you put it, the Encampment boys basketball
team came out on top in all three of their games
this weekend at the Carbon County Classic.
The opening game of the season was hardly a
contest for the Encampment Tigers. Despite being
undersized, Encampment’s full-court man defense
dismantled the Longhorn offense — keeping Rock
River off the score board for nearly seven minutes
in the first and second quarter. The Longhorns had
no answer for the Tiger’s fast-break offense in a
20-3 second-quarter run.
“We always look for up-tempo offense,” Encampment Tiger’s head coach Clint Bromley said.
The Tigers continued to dominate in the third
and fourth quarter resulting in a running clock.
The final buzzer went off with the Tigers beating
1A rival 81-28.
Game two of the Carbon County Classic was
anything but a cake walk for the Tigers. Encampment took on Hanna/Elk Mountain/Medicine Bow
(HEM) Miner in their opening game Saturday and
edged out a 44-33 win.
Despite the victory over the Miners, Bromley said
his team could have played a lot better.
“We didn’t execute as well as we hoped,” Bromley
said about the HEM game. “We needed to take
control of the boards.”
The Tigers wrapped up their weekend with a
83-45 triumph against the Cheyenne South High
School Bison freshman squad.
Bromley said the Bison presented some challenges early in the game four for the Tigers.
“You never know what to expect out of a team
like (Cheyenne South freshman team),” Bromley
said. “And they brought the cream of the crop.”
After struggling in the first two quarters, the
Tigers played up to their potential in the second
half. Bromely said part of their success was due to
Guy Erickson’s 100 percent free throw percentage,
sinking 13 of 13 shots from the line.
The Tigers posted some impressive numbers in
the opening games of the season. Notable individual performances include Erickson, who leads the
team with an 89 percent free-throw percentage,
26 rebounds and 11 assists, and Luke Pantle, who
posted an impressive 20.3 points per game over
the weekend.
The Tigers will head to Lingle Friday for the
Lingle tournament and will take on Lingle/Fort
Laramie, Midwest/Edgerton and Guernsey/Sunrise. Both Lingle/Fort Laramie and Guernsey/
Sunrise made an appearance at last year’s state
tournament. Bromley said he expects every game
to be a battle this weekend.
“We are looking forward to playing them,” Bromley said. “It’s always good to be able to take a look
at these teams early.”
Lady Panthers lose squeakers, rout Wind River
By Liz Wood
The Saratoga Lady Panthers
(1-2) came home with a win
against 2A Wind River Lady
Cougars this weekend. Although they had losses against
Lingle/Fort Laramie and Shoshoni at the Winter Classic
in Burns, they played hard,
Saratoga High School Head
Coach Scott Bokelman said.
The Lady Panthers lost to
Lingle/Fort Laramie 57-64
Friday afternoon, then played
Shoshoni Friday night and lost
52-55. Their winning game had
a score of 62-35, with the junior
varsity getting some varsity
experience during that game.
Bokelman was pleased with
the Lady Panther’s performance on the court. “They
played hard,” Bokelman said.
The team had really good manto-man press and executed
their offense fairly well.
“It takes time to get perfected,” Bokelman said. “Even
though we lost, there were a lot
of things they did right.”
Turnovers hurt the girls in
their game against Lingle/Fort
Laramie Doggers. The Lady
Panthers had 24 turnovers
against the Lady Doggers.
Lingle/Fort Laramie were
the 1A state champions last
year. By the time the Lady
Panthers played the Shoshoni
Wranglers, Friday night, the
girls were already showing improvement and reduced their
turnovers to eight, Bokelman
said. Some of those turnovers
resulted with the Lady Doggers having a chance at the
free-throw line. Bokelman said
he believed the Lady Panthers
would have had a pretty good
shot at winning if they hadn’t
had so many turnovers against
the Lady Doggers.
With less turnovers against
Shoshoni, the Lady Panthers
3-point loss was because of the
Wranglers’ post player. Bokelman said she was pretty hard
to get past and her teammates
were getting the ball to her.
Bokelman was happy with
his team in their performances. Meredith Lincoln scored 19
points against the Doggers, 23
points against the Wranglers
and 13 points against the Cougars. Justine Fourman scored
11 points against the Doggers,
11 points against the Wranglers and 22 points against the
Cougars. Katie Loose scored 12
points against the Wranglers.
Leading in steals against the
Doggers were Cruz Escobedo,
Kelsie Samson and Loose.
Loose and Mati Love had two
steals each against the Wranglers, with Fourman leading
with five steals against the
Cougars. Lincoln had a total
of 20 rebounds over the weekend, with Fourman having 15
rebounds and Samson pulling
in 11 rebounds.
Bokelman said he would like
to see Loose and Haley Soles
scoring more. “We need to
get them comfortable enough
to start shooting,” Bokelman
said.
Bokelman said he will work
on timing this week. He said
when the Lady Panthers don’t
take advantage of an open
player and wait to throw the
ball, that gives the opponent
the advantage. Bokelman
wants his girls to throw the
ball without hesitating when
the have an open teammate.
Bokelman was just as happy
with his junior varsity girls
who played half of the game
against Wind River.
“The effort was great and the
attitudes were good,” Bokelman said of the team.
Friday, the team plays
against Hanna/Elk Mountain/
Medicine Bow (HEM) Lady
Miners and the Lady Panthers
will be working on basics this
week.
The Panthers host the Miners with game time for boys
Junior Varsity at 4 p.m. The
Lady Miners do not have a
JV team, so the girls varsity
game will begin earlier than
the scheduled time of 5:30 p.m.

Jaxon King looks for a pin during the Soroco Duel/Invite last weekend.
Wrestlers pin down second
By Mike Dunn
The 2014-15 season is already off to a hot start for the
Saratoga wrestling team after
the Panthers posted strong
individual performances at
the Soroco Duel/Invite this
weekend.
All Saratoga wrestlers
placed in the tournament
and Panthers took second in
team points.
“It went well,” Saratoga
wrestling head coach JaredMason said about the Soroco
invite. “It was a smaller tournament than expected with
eight teams total.”
The Panthers posted firstplace performances from Jaxon King (113), Bradley Bifano
(132) and Thatcher Spiering
(152). Mason highlighted
Bradley Bifano as the team’s
standout wrestler for the
weekend.
“Bradley looked good. He
wrestled the most matches
out of everyone and any time
you start the season with a
5-0 record it’s a good thing,”
Mason said.
The Soroco Invite used a
round-robin format for the
tournament, so each wrestler
wrestled anywhere from two
to five matches. Mason said
it is important for his team to
get mat time in the beginning
of the year.
Colorado tournaments provide a unique perspective
for the Saratoga wrestling
team, especially during the
beginning of the season. The
Panthers match up against
Colorado high schools that
started practice many weeks
before Wyoming schools had.
But Mason said his team was
in fantastic condition during
the tournament.
“I was pleasantly surprised,” Mason said. “We were
in as good, if not better shape
than the Colorado schools …
they had been going hard for
a couple of weeks, but our
conditioning was right there
with them.”
The Panthers will compete
in the Quadrangular tournament tomorrow against Hanna/Elk Mountain/Medicine
Bow (HEM), Rawlins, North
Park and possibly Laramie.
With very few opportunities
to compete at home, Mason
hopes to see a great deal of
community support.
On Saturday, the squad
heads to Kremmling, Colo.,
to compete in the Kremmling
Invite. Mason expects more
team and tougher competition
for his wrestlers.
“I am hoping for similar
results. (The tournament) is
going to be bigger,” Mason
said. “But I expect our kids to
do well.”
The Quadrangular begins
tomorrow at 5:30 p.m. at Saratoga High School. The Kremmling Invite begins 9 a.m. on
Dec. 20 in Kremmling, Colo.

Third-quarter woes
plague Panthers
Coach Johnston makes half-time correction
in final game to keep pace with top-ranked Cougars
By Liz Wood
The Saratoga Panthers
started off their season with
three losses at the Winter
Classic basketball tournament in Burns this weekend.
They lost 41-56 against the
Lingle/Fort Laramie Doggers
Friday afternoon. The Panthers were leading at halftime against the Shoshoni
Wranglers, but lost 46-57.
The Wind River Cougars, a
team that won all of their
games last weekend, beat the
Panthers 64-83.
Overall, the team played a
very good defense, Saratoga
Panthers Head Coach Joe
Johnston said.
Foul trouble with two of
the Panther starters hurt the
team in the first game against
the Doggers, Johnston said.
“They were reaching instead
of moving their feet.”
Johnston said the third
quarter in the first two games
kept them from making progress on the court. Against
Lingle/Fort Laramie, the
Panthers only scored 4 points
in the third quarter, and 2
points in the third quarter
against the Wranglers.
Johnston made some
changes during half-time
of the final game against
the Cougars and it paid off,
Johnston said.
“I should have made the
changes the first two games,”
Johnston said. The Panthers
scored 20 points during the
third quarter in the game
against Wind River.
During the first quarter,
the Panthers were down 1230, but kept up with Wind
River the rest of the game,
Johnston said. “They played
right with (Wind River).”
Johnston was pleased that
the gap in points did not
spread throughout the game.
Wind River put on a lot of
pressure and plays press,
Johnston said, but the Panthers had great stops, boxed
out the players and played
hard.
The teams played at the
tournament were some of the
best. “It stinks to lose, but
it’s better to lose to better
teams,” Johnston said.
The team played well,
Johnston said, particularly
in the last three quarters of
the final game. “They played
100 percent all of the time.”
The Panthers never gave
up, Johnston said, even
when they were down by
several points. The team
was plagued with turnovers,
having 31 against Wind River and 25 against Shoshoni.
There were some jitters,
as this was the first game of
the season, and the Panthers
normally plays in the Carbon
County Classic against 1A
teams. This is the first year
they have played in the Winter Classic in Burns.
Wind River is ranked number one in their conference by
WyoPreps.
In preparation for the
game against Hanna/Elk
Mountain/Medicine Bow
(HEM), Johnsston said he
will work on the help-side
defense, ball pressure and
denying the ball. “We just
need to take care of the ball,”
Johnston said.
On Friday, the Panthers
play at home against HEM.
The junior varsity boys play
at 4 p.m., followed by the
varsity girls and then the
varsity boys. Since there is
not an HEM JV girls team,
the varsity girls will be playing earlier than usual.

There were six here for bingo
on Monday. Two-dollar winners
were Lila Worden, Madaline

and Winnie Allen. Grace Johnston won the $3 blackout round.
There were only eight here for

Herold and Mary Sjoden.
We will be closed on Dec. 25
and 26. If you need an extra meal
please let us know by Wednesday, Dec. 24 so we can get them
sent out with your Christmas
meals.
We will be open on New Year’s
Day as usual. We will be serving
grilled ham and cheese sandwiches and tomato soup. The rest
of the meal is still up in the air,
but it will be good.
We are going to have an ugly
sweater contest on Thursday,
Dec. 18, so be planning your at-

We will be taking the bus out
on Monday, Dec. 22, so people
can see all the Christmas lights.
So if you would like to go, please
give us a call and get your name
on the list. We will probably pick
you up around 5:30 p.m..
We would like to invite anyone
60 or older to come give us a try.
You will not be disappointed.
We have good meals at a very
reasonable price and you get to
visit with some very interesting
people. We also have a bus that
can come to your home and pick
you up. It will pick you up and
take you to the store, doctor appointments here in town, or just
to go visit someone. The charge
for the ride is just 50 cents suggested. So even that is a bargain.
I just turned old enough to
come up here and I know who is
old enough so please come and
join us. We have to keep this program going. Getting our count
up will help. We play bingo on
Tuesdays if we have enough that
will stay to play. We have Bridge
on Mondays and they are always
looking for more players. After
the first of the year we will start
having movie day once a month.
There are a couple of people who
would like to stay and play 31. So
if you are interested, we would
love to have you join us.
Reflections from the Saratoga Sun
How we get the news, Saratoga swimming pool, $50K
fire and new game warden
100 Years Ago
Dec. 17, 1914
Day before yesterday a perfectly nice lady called us up and
with tears in her voice reproved
us for not mentioning the fact
that she had a friend visiting
her last week. We told her that
she did not let us know anything
about it, and that therefore, we
did not know she had a visitor.
Then she said, “Well you should
have known. I thought you were
running a newspaper.” Wouldn’t
that rattle your slats? Some people think that an editor ought to
be a cross between Argus and
Anna Eva Fay. They seem to
think that our five senses are
augmented by a sixth that lets
us know everything that happens even if we see, hear, feel,
taste or smell it not. Dear lady,
editors are only human, or at
least almost human. If you have
a friend visiting you, if you are
going away, or have returned
from a visit out of town, if little
Johnnie falls and breaks his
arm, if your husband chops his
toe instead of a stick of wood, if
anything happens that makes
you glad, or sad, happy, or mad,
call us up. Tell us about it.
75 Years Ago
Dec. 21, 1939
Most of those who attended
the Lions Club meeting last
Thursday night feel that there
may be a good chance to secure
the building of a swimming pool
in Saratoga as a WPA project.
L. G. Flannery, state director
for the WPA, was present at
the meeting, as was also R. L.
Nicholson of Denver, regional
director for the WPA, who has
jurisdiction over a district embracing six of the Rocky Mountain states.
Both these gentleman talked
encouragingly of the project,
and gave assurance that WPA
assistance could be had if the
many basic requirements could
be met. First of all, there must
be available here sufficient relief
labor to do the job. At present
there are comparatively few
men registered from this area
who desire relief employment,
and fewer yet who have been
certified as entitled to WPA
assistance. If there is sufficient
relief labor in the valley, it
would have to be registered and
certified before any such project
could be authorized.
50 Years Ago
Dec. 17, 1964
Monday morning flames consumed the dock, office, storage
area and shop at the Saratoga
Truck Line in the downtown
business section. In less than
two hours the blaze had leveled
all but a small corner of the
building facing the highway and
small hay storage building in
the rear of the property.
Owner Clarence Shaw estimated the loss at more than
$50,000, including the building, small equipment, tires,
and freight which was stored
in the building, tools and other
equipment. The loss is partially
covered by insurance. However,
no trucks were lost and most of
the tools in the shop were saved.
Office equipment and records
from the office were rescued by
fireman.
25 Years Ago
Dec. 20, 1989
Biff Burton, the new game
warden for the Platte Valley
area, arrived in Saratoga in
November and has been busy
working on big game classifications since his arrival. Burton
is originally from Nebraska
and has been with the Wyoming Game and Fish for 10
years. He received his B.S. in
wildlife management from the
University of Wyoming in 1978
and also underwent training at
the Wyoming Law Enforcement
Academy as all game wardens
are required to do.
During his 10 year tenure
with the G & F, he has been
all over the state. He said he
worked for the fish division for
two seasons and also fed elk
for two winters in the Jackson/
Pinedale area. He also worked
on the Platte River Reservoir
enforcement crew out of Casper.
More recently, he has been stationed in the Gillette area for six
years as the game warden there.
He said the area he worked in
Gillette is about twice as large
as the area here, but the terrain
here makes up for the difference
in size.
