Contraceptive plan
released for Pryor horses
BY BRAD DEVEREAUX
The Bureau of Land
Management announced
in December that the Pry-
or Mountain Wild Horse
Range Fertility Control En-
vironmental Assessment
had been completed and is
currently in effect.
After receiving and in-
corporating public com-
ments into the document,
the BLM released the EA
that outlines a five-year
plan to manage the Pryor
herd using PZP, a lab-made
contraceptive delivered by
dart.
The plan calls for the
BLM to use the PZP contra-
ceptive on mares ages 2, 3
and 4. Once a mare reaches
5 years old, she will be al-
lowed to reproduce freely
until she reaches 10 years
old. All mares age 10 and
older are darted every year
to keep them from reproduc-
ing.
Pryor Mountain Wild
Mustang Center Director
Matt Dillon said he is happy
with the way the document
turned out, and said the
BLM did incorporate some.
of the mustang center's corn-
ments into the final version.
Other groups and individu-
als, including Ginger Kath-
rens and the Cloud Founda-
tion, are against using PZP
on the herd.
Dillon said the advan-
tage of using contraceptive
darting methods to con-
trol the population is that
it eliminates the need for
large-scale ,helicopter round-
ups like the one that was
held near Lovell in 2009.

New rules for access

Chief Justice Marilyn

Supreme Court has been

"The Wyoming Supreme
Court may determine that
all state courts should pro-
vide certain standard week-
ly reports, but that decision
has yet to be determined
and the work to gather in-
formation for that deci-
sion is ongoing," Kite said.
"We ask for the public's pa-

sues involved in moving to
a new procedure for court

Windows smashed, iPods missing
w- The LPD is investigating
a scale that was report-
ed found in the back of
a Lovell resident's truck
while parked at his resi-
dence. The man reported
that someone had placed
the scale in the back of his
pickup and the incident is
under investigation.
The Lovell Police De-
partment received the fol-
lowing calls for the week of
Jan. 11-18, 2011:
Jan. 16: The LPD received
a report of the back window
of a vehicle being shattered.
Officers gathered informa-
tion from the vehicle's own-
er and were notified that two
iPods were missing from the
glove box of the vehicle.
Jan, 17: A Lovell officer
wrote a citation for breach
of peace to a resident of
a Lovell apartment com-
plex who was harassing his
neighbors and threatening
to hit them while they were
out shoveling snow.
tion Orders were meant to
accomplish, the main goal
was two-fold: 1) to provide
a process whereby the su-
preme court could manage
its limited clerk resources;
and 2) to remove personal
identifiers such as social se-
curity numbers and dates of
birth from the court records
to protect Wyoming citizens
against identity theft when
the court moves to e-filing
and court records are on the
world wide web.
"It is astounding the
number of records requests
that the clerks of court re-
ceive from private business-
es who are selling compiled
information from the court
Road blockage leads deputies to MIPs
The Big Horn County
Sheriffs Department re-
ceived the following calls
for the week of Jan. 10-17,
2011:
Jan. 12: Deputies and Big
Horn County Search and
Rescue assisted Sheridan
County Search and Rescue
to locate a group of three
snowmobilers who were
missing in the Big Horn
Mountains.
A friend reported the
three people overdue at
12:15 a.m. Wednesday, Jan.
12. About 40 volunteers
from Sheridan and Big Horn
counties and a search plane
were deployed to help in the
search. The south BHCSAR
team made it to the lost
snowmobilers first, locating
them about 60 miles away
from their vehicle. They had
become stuck in the snow
and had built a fire to keep
warm.
,r Deputies received a re-
port of a Lovell area
woman receiving harass-
ing text messages from a
family member.
Jan. 17: Ronald A. Beddes,
64, was arrested on a Big
Horn County warrant and
transported to jail in Basin.
Jan. 15: Deputies stopped at
a Byron residence because
a vehicle parked there was
partially blocking traffic. Af-
ter making contact with the
driver of the vehicle and ask-
ing him to move it, the driv-
er fled in his vehicle from
the scene. Deputies made
contact with the renter of
the home and asked every-
one inside to come outside.
The group included several
minors in possession of al-
cohol. Deputies wrote MIP
citations to four underage
subjects and will write a ci-
tation for furnishing alcohol
to minors in the near future,
according to Sheriff Ken
Blackburn.
After leaving the scene,
deputies learned that there
was a minor female still in-
side underneath a blanket
and reports have been for-
warded to the County Attor-
ney's Office for possible ad-
ditional charges.

"The Court certainly
wants to provide reason-
able access to court records,
but at the same time we
must remain focused on the
limited court resources to
accomplish the work of the
Wyoming Judiciary, instead
of spending our resources
doing the work of private
business", Kite said.
She said that under
the Court Records Order,
Rule 12 provides a process
by which individuals or or-
ganizations can request
compiled information from
the supreme court, and the
Court currently is work-
ing on several Rule 12 re-
Rules Governing Access to

"One additional factor,"
Kite said, "that should al-
leviate some of the concern
is the fact that the Court
is in the process of rolling
out a new program for pub-
lic records searches via the
use of public terminals. Al-
though the Court hopes to
have public terminals in all
of the circuit courts in the
first half of 2011, budget-
ary constraints and limited
court personnel may create
some delays."
