City Administrator Logan Says Goodbye MAN SENTENCED TO THURSDAY, JUNE 6, 2019 109TH YEAR/ISSUE 45 MAN SENTENCED TO PROBATION FOR DISRUPTION AT HOSPITAL BY CJ BAKER Tribune Editor man who caused a drunken dis- turbance at Powell Valley Hos- Apital in late December has been ordered to serve one year of unsuper- vised probation. Thomas E. Larson, 28, reportedly chased a nurse with an IV stand and shut himself in an elderly patient’s room before being subdued by a Powell police officer. He’s also suspected to have gotten into a confrontation with a nearby resident hours before the inci- dent at the hospital. The Park County Attorney’s Office As members of the Powell Volunteer Fire Department deal with the damaged vehicle, a dead deer lies alongside U.S. Highway 14-A on May 20, near Road 12. State initially charged Larson with a felony data indicates that the stretch between Powell and Cody is one of the worst in Wyoming for wildlife collisions. The driver of this vehicle was taken to the hospital for count of aggravated assault, but re- treatment before being released. Tribune photo by Mark Davis duced it to a misdemeanor charge of reckless endan- gering as part of a plea deal. Under Park County highways among the worst for the agreement, Larson pleaded guilty to the en- dangering as well as misdemeanor counts of property destruction and breach of peace.

  • 2021 Adventure Vacation Guide Cody Yellowstone Adventure Vacation Guide 3
    2021 ADVENTURE VACATION GUIDE CODY YELLOWSTONE ADVENTURE VACATION GUIDE 3 WELCOME TO THE GREAT AMERICAN ADVENTURE. The West isn’t just a direction. It’s not just a mark on a map or a point on a compass. The West is our heritage and our soul. It’s our parents and our grandparents. It’s the explorers and trailblazers and outlaws who came before us. And the proud people who were here before them. It’s the adventurous spirit that forged the American character. It’s wide-open spaces that dare us to dream audacious dreams. And grand mountains that make us feel smaller and bigger all at the same time. It’s a thump in your chest the first time you stand face to face with a buffalo. And a swelling of pride that a place like this still exists. It’s everything great about America. And it still flows through our veins. Some people say it’s vanishing. But we say it never will. It will live as long as there are people who still live by its code and safeguard its wonders. It will live as long as there are places like Yellowstone and towns like Cody, Wyoming. Because we are blood brothers, Yellowstone and Cody. One and the same. This is where the Great American Adventure calls home. And if you listen closely, you can hear it calling you. 4 CODYYELLOWSTONE.ORG CODY YELLOWSTONE ADVENTURE VACATION GUIDE 5 William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody with eight Native American members of the cast of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show, HISTORY ca.

Allen Entomologist Rapid City Service Center PREPARED BY:__/s/ Dan Long __________________________________ Daniel F. Long Forest Health Technician Rapid City Service Center APPROVED BY:___/s/ Frank Cross _______________________________ Frank J. Cross Group Leader Forest Health Management Renewable Resources USDA Forest Service Rocky Mountain Region 740 Simms Street Golden, CO 80401 ABSTRACT Douglas-fir beetle (Dendroctonus pseudotsugae) infestations frequently result from disturbance events that create large volumes of weakened Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) trees. In 1988, extensive wildfires occurred in Yellowstone National Park and the Shoshone National Forest. Populations of Douglas-fir beetle increased in fire-scorched trees caused by the wildfires. Subsequent generations of the beetles moved from these injured trees to undamaged trees in neighboring stands on the Shoshone National Forest, Wyoming. This outbreak has now moved and is concentrated along the North Fork of the Shoshone River. Beetle populations continue to build and continued high levels of mortality can be expected along the North Fork. Continued use of sanitation harvest and anti-aggregation pheromones, where possible is recommended. 1 INTRODUCTION The Douglas-fir beetle (Dendroctonus pseudotsugae Hopkins) infests and kills Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) throughout its range in North America. Typically, the beetle reproduces in scattered trees that are highly stressed, such as windfall, defoliated or fire- scorched trees (Furniss, 1962; Furniss, 1965; Lessard and Schmid, 1990). If enough suitable host material is present, beetles can increase in the stressed trees and infest nearby healthy trees (Furniss et al., 1981).

  • North Fork Sensitive Plant Surveys on Shoshone National Forest
    North Fork sensitive plant surveys on Shoshone National Forest. Prepared for Shoshone National Forest Cody, Wyoming Prepared by Amy Taylor, Kevin Taylor, Bonnie Heidel and Joy Handley Wyoming Natural Diversity Database University of Wyoming Laramie, Wyoming February 2005 Abstract The primary goals of this project were to provide a sensitive species survey and information baseline in the North Fork study area to use in planning potential prescribed burn/mechanical removal on Shoshone National Forest. In addition, all noxious weeds encountered during the survey were documented. Surveys were conducted on the North Fork study area of the Shoshone National Forest from 7 June – 15 July 2004 for six sensitive plant species of the U.S. Forest Service – Rocky Mountain Region and all other Wyoming plant species of concern. To insure completeness of the sensitive plant data in the study area, Erwin Evert was contracted by Wyoming Natural Diversity Database (WYNDD; University of Wyoming) to provide information from his collection records of all sensitive species and plant species of concern in the study area. His records were cross-checked with information already in the state database maintained by WYNDD, and new records were entered. Finally, the new Biotics software employed by WYNDD, with its ArcView platform, was updated to include all digitized plant information in the study area. The compiled product of all three efforts represents a large, spatially-explicit dataset in an area of high endemism within Wyoming. Precise location data and site-specific habitat information will be incorporated into USFS management plans to avoid impacts to sensitive species. This work took place under contract to Wyoming Natural Diversity Database, through a cost-share agreement between the University of Wyoming and the Shoshone National Forest.

  • Elephant Head Lodge Employee Prospective
    Elephant Head Lodge Employee Prospective Dear Prospective Employee, Thank you for your interest in employment with the Elephant Head Lodge, which is a small 15 log cabin family oriented mountain lodge, located East of Yellowstone National Park and in the Shoshone National Forest. We have our own restaurant and lounge, and arrange horse rides. Our lodge is a wonderful base for the guests touring Yellowstone National Park, Cody, & the Shoshone National Forest. We expect you will find your time spent here filled with many new friendships and frequent opportunities for wilderness outdoor experiences, including horseback riding, fishing, hiking, relaxing, viewing wildlife, the Cody Nite rodeo, western shopping and entertainment, Shoshone National Forest, Yellowstone National Park, and Cody, WY. We are located in the Shoshone National Forest (the oldest National Forest) just 11.7 miles from Yellowstone National Park’s East Entrance. Our highway from Cody is often called the most scenic 50 miles in America, as stated by President Theodore Roosevelt. We are 40 miles west of historic Cody, Wyoming. The Elephant Head Lodge gets its name from a rock formation overlooking it. The Lodge, Restaurant, and the “Trapper” cabin were all built in 1910 by Buffalo Bill Cody’s niece, Josephine Thurston, and her husband Harry W. Thurston. Harry chose the site for its water. He was one of the first Rangers in the Shoshone Forest and knew about the spring that still serves the Lodge today. It was a dependable source of good water for early travelers to Yellowstone – and for trappers and Indians before them. The Elephant Head Lodge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
