Japanese teaching fellow coming
to Northwest College in August
Natsuki Kobayashi from
Nagano, Japan, will start a
year-long teaching fellow-
ship at Northwest College in
August and become the first
resident of the college's new
Intercultural House.
Kobayashi holds a bach-
elor's degree in sports and
health from Niigata Univer-
sity and certifications as an
athletic trainer and person-
al trainer. Interestingly, her
Palates and English stud-
ies were undertaken in the
United States.
The Big Horn Basin
community will have sev-
eral opportunities to meet
Kobayashi during her resi-
dency. She'll be enrolled in
NWC classes and featured
in public programs through-
out her stay, and she will
also team-teach Japanese
language studies with MilD
Asay, an ESL instructor at
NWC.
"Natsuki's contributions
will add challenging but re-
warding enrichment to our
already-popular Japanese
NATSUKI KOBAYASH I
language classes," Asay
said. A Cowley native, Asay
lived in Tokyo for 18 years
and said he is eager to aug-
ment this cultural dimen-
sion to his students' experi-
ence of the language.
Intercultural Program
Manager Emelee Volden
concurred, saying in addi-
tion to Kobayashi's contri-
butions to NWC's newest
language program, her
year-long residency will be
a fitting way to launch the
college's new Intercultural
House.
"The Intercultural
House will provide numer-
ous opportunities for cultur-
al exchange," Volden said.
"And having a fellow-in-res-
idence from Japan will give
NWC students and commu-
nity members opportuni-
ty for more in-depth explo-
ration of East Asia and the
Japanese language."
Kobayashi and Asay
will team-teach First Year
Japanese I from 11-11:50
a.m. Monday through
Thursday beginning August
24. Second Year Japanese II
is offered from 2-2:50 p.m.
the same days. Community
members interested in au-
diting or enrolling can call
307-754-6073 to register.
Kobayashi's fellowship
was negotiated through
the Alliance for Language
Learning and Educational
Exchange.
Police Report
Police investigate report of
concealed weapon at town meeting
The Lovell Police De-
partment received the fol-
lowing calls for the week of
June 9 - 16:
June 9: A motorist accused
her ex-boyfriend of stalking
and trying to run her off the
road. An officer made con-
tact with both parties and
explained state statutes
to them, which seemed to
calm the situation.
June 10: A resident report-
ed an individual who was
impaired and incoherent.
Police were unable to locate
the man.
• A business owner re-
ported a man wearing
a woman's bra reading,
what appeared to be por-
nography in public. The
matter is under investi-
gation.
• A resident complained
that a group of children
were making strange
noises near his property.
Police patrolled the area
on foot, but were unable
to find the children.
June 11: Police investigat-
ed a report of an individu-
al who brought a concealed
weapon to a recent meeting
at Town Hall. Police spoke
to the man and explained
to him that, though no con-
cealed carry permit is re-
quired in Wyoming, it is il-
legal to carry a concealed
weapon into government
meetings. A verbal warning
was issued.
• Officers responded to a
report of vandalism by a
resident who said an um-
brella and some plants
were knocked over on
her property during the
night. An officer respond-
ed but determined that
the incident was caused
by the wind.
• Police responded to a ver-
bal brawl at a local bar
but were unable to locate
the parties involved.
June 12: A complaint was
received regarding a pet
owner who was bringing her
pet dog onto school property
to defecate on the lawn. The
individual was warned that
it was a violation of a town
ordinance similar to litter-
ing but specifically apply-
ing to pets.
June 15: An elderly indi-
vidual reported receiving
a scam phone call asking
for money. He was advised
that it was a common scam
and was cautioned not to
send money.
Numerous warnings issued
for weeds and junk vehicles
BY PA'I-rl CARPENTER
If the weeds in your
yard are growing up around
your unlicensed vehicles,
don't be surprised if you re-
ceive a warning letter from
the Lovell Police Dept. ask-
ing you to clean up your
yard.
It's the law in Lovell
that property owners and
residents must control
weeds on their property
and there is also an ordi-
nance specifying that not
more than one unlicensed
or "junk" vehicle can be
kept on a residential prop-
erty, and that vehicle must
be covered or kept in a
garage.
Failure to comply with
either ordinance can result
in stiff fines. In the case of
junk vehicles, the offend-
ing party could be liable for
costs of abatement and a
fine of up to $750 for each
day beyond a 14-day warn-
ing period. Residents vio-
lating the weed ordinance
face fines of up to $750 plus
the cost of removing weeds,
if they do not comply with-
in 14 days of receiving the
warning.
The town's weed and
junk ordinance states that
"It shall be the duty of every
person, whether owner, les-
see or renter of any vacant
lot, building or premises,
drive-ins, dwelling hous-
es, apartments, tenements
or other establishment at
all times to maintain their
premises including the al-
ley adjacent to said prem-
ises and including areas
between the curb and prop-
erty line in a clean, order-
ly condition, free of any un-
sightly growth of weeds."
Ifa property i s reported
as being unsightly, a police
officer will personally veri-
fy the complaint, then de-
liver a written letter to the
person residing at the ad-
dress asking them to com-
ply with the ordinance. In
cases where the property is
vacant, a notice is delivered
to the owner by certified
mail. If the party served
does not comply within 14
days, a citation is issued
and they must answer to a
judge.
The Lovell Police De-
partment is already gently
reminding residents of their
responsibility to comply by
serving written notice to
those who don't. Lovell Po-
lice Sergeant Steve Allred
said those cited must com-
ply or face fines.

Police enforcement to increase for warrants
BY PATrl CARPENTER
If you have outstand-
ing municipal court war-
rant, it's a good time to pay
up. According to Lovell Po-
lice Sergeant Steve Allred,
the department will be in-
creasing enforcement of
outstanding municipal
court warrants, beginning
this week.
Allred said some of
the warrants are up to 10
years old, with outstand-
ing fees ranging from $10
to $1,000. He said many of
the warrants are for fail-
ure to pay fines or failure
to appear in court. With
more than 200 warrants on
record, police plan to step
up enforcement with in-
creased vigilance and ar-
rests when necessary, said
Allred.
"This is an on-go-
ing problem that needs to
be resolved," said Allred.
"People need to under-
stand that these warrants
are a serious issue that can
and will result in arrest."
Allred said since war-
rants are a matter of public
record, individuals unsure
of whether they have one
can contact police dispatch
or the clerk of the munici-
pal court to find out if they
have any outstanding. He
added that the fine can be
paid directly to dispatch
and the warrant will be re-
moved immediately once it
is paid.
"We're trying to take
the most appropriate steps
to get these warrants re-
solved," explained Allred.
"Our goal is to advise peo-
ple in advance how they
can take care of the war-
rants, so further steps are
not required.
"By allowing people to
be proactive, it allows them
to take care of the war-
rants and saves them from
further consequences."
Allred said a list of peo-
ple who have outstanding
warrants will be published
in the Lovell Chronicle in
the near future. Those who
have paid their fines will
not appear on the list.
