Speech team makes good
showing at Cody competition
BY PATFI CARPENTER
Speech and debate team
members travelled to their
first competition of the sea-
son this week, which took
place in Cody on Dec. 19-20.
The team consists of seven
members from Lovell High
School and five from Rocky
Mountain High School and
one homeschooled student
who will travel to competi-
tions as a team throughout
the state.
Coach Deb Fink said
she is pleased to see how
well some of her Students
fared at the competition, es-
pecially those who are new
to the speech and debate
team and were competing
for the very first time.
Around 150 students
were in the competition
from nine schools. Fink
said that is fewer schools
than normal because some
schools had already start-
ed their holiday break. She
added that the meet in Cody
is a novice meet, which was
good for the newer mem-
bers and a great warm-up
for the more experienced
members.
Due to a lack of teams,
the novice and varsity duets
were judged as one catego-
ry. The teams of Ani Baird
and Mikayla Thompson and
Miguel Gurrola and Colton
Wardell placed third. The
novices (Baird and Gurrola)
were also "recognized" for
their work.
Fink said she was es-
pecially pleased with some

of the novice members who
did quite well in their com-
petitions, like Baird, who
took third place in novice
poetry, Xavier Allen who
placed in the top two thirds
of the novice poetry catego-
ry and also placed in the top
third of novice drama, miss-
ing the finals by only one
point and Taylor Woodford,
who also placed in the top
two thirds of the novice po-
etry class.
In the varsity division,
Cole Moncur took fourth in
poetry and first in drama.
Fink was not surprised by
his success, since Moncur of-
ten places at competitions.
Alecx Christensen won
two rounds and lost two
rounds in the very chal-
lenging Lincoln/Douglas
debate. Fink said she was
very impressed and said
this kind of placing is ex-
cellent for a first-time cam-
petitor. He also made it into
the top two-thirds of the
extemporaneous speaking
competition.
Next up, the team will
travel to Powell for a highly
competitive meet held an-
nually at Northwest Col-
lege Jan. 9 - 10.
"I think they learned
a lot at the competition in
Cody and I think they will
do well at Northwest," said
Fink.
Judges needed for Jan. 9 and 10 high school forensics tournament
More than 300 students
from nearly 15 schools will
be debating, persuading
and entertaining their au-
diences at the 44th annual
Trapper Rendezvous Foren-
sics Tournament for Wyo-
ming high schools Friday
and Saturday, Jan. 9 and
10, at Northwest College.
Because the tourna-
ment is so large, 50 judges
are needed every round to
score all the events, which
include humorous, poetry,
dramatic and duet inter-
pretation, extemporaneous
speaking, oratory and three
forms of debate.
To help people feel more
comfortable with judging,
NWC Forensics coaches of-
fer a workshop at 7 p.m.
Tuesday, Jan. 6, in the Yel-
lowstone Building, Room
208. For an individual ap-
pointment, contact Bob
Becker at 307-754-6118.
Becker, one of the
NWC forensics coaches,
said some people are hesi-
tant to judge because they
don't think they're quali-
fied but find it quite simple
and enjoyable when they
do it. The primary compo-
nent of judging individu-
al events is simply to rank
performances from best to
worst.
Commission pulls
public lands position
BY KARLA POMEROY
The Big Horn County commissioners will not be con-
sidering the public lands position at this time.
Chairman Jerry Ewen announced Monday that they
would not proceed with the position.
"It's become obvious it's not going to work," he said.
The commissioners had approved a six-month budget
and a job description at the Dec. 2 meeting, with the inten-
tion of hiring outgoing commissioner Keith Grant to the
position at the Jan. 6 meeting. The commissioners then
set up a public comment period at that meeting.
Ewen said that public comment period has been can-
celled since they will be pulling the item off the agenda.
He said the new commission will take some time to consid-
er how best to approach working with the various federal
agencies the county deals with on a regular basis.
Grant had been the county's liaison for the federal
agencies, attending meetings as needed.
At the Dec. 4 meeting, Ewen said, "One of our primary
interests is to retain Keith's (Grant) knowledge and expe-
rience and to have him continue as an advisor to the coun-
ty with federal lands."
He said Grant has tremendous institutional knowl-
edge that would be valuable, particularly as they finish
the BLM's Resource Management Plan.
The federal lands policy office is recommended in the
county master plan adopted in 2010.
Highway Patrol announces
change in approach
Methods for gauging
the performance of Wy-
oming Highway Patrol
troopers will change in
2015, Patrol Administra-
tor Col. John Butler an-
nounced recently.
The recent mandate re-
quiring a specified number
of traffic stops made and ci-
tations issued by any indi-
vidual trooper will no longer
be used as a performance
measurement during job
evaluations. The standards
were included by the Patrol
as a component of the State
of Wyoming's performance
appraisal system.
"We understand that
our policy of setting forth
the expected numbers of
traffic stops and citations
during a certain period of
time is perceived by some
as constituting a quota sys-
tem," Col. Butler said. "Al-
though we in the Patrol
have never considered it as
such, we acknowledge that
the perception exists and
that's why we are taking
steps to address the issue.
"Regardless of how our
management tailors the
job evaluation process, the
Wyoming Highway Patrol's
overriding goal will contin-
ue to be the vigorous en-
forcement of traffic laws
which directly impact high-
way safety. We are commit-
ted to curbing hazardous
driving behaviors whenev-
er it is encountered, with
emphasis on impaired driv-
ing, speeding, distracted
driving and failure to wear
seat belts.
"It has always been our
directive to troopers when
they witness a violation of
any traffic law, they should
initiate a stop. Troopers
do have discretion wheth-
er that stop will result in a
citation or a warning. But
when a seat-belt violation
is discovered during a stop,
it is our expectation that a
citation will be written for
that particular offense."
