College District Tournament in Williston, North Dakota on May 19.
After starring at Williston, Jameson
signs with Nebraska-Kearney
Scotty Jameson of
Lovell recently completed
his second college season at
Williston State College in
Williston, N.D.
The Tetons' baseball
team set a school record
for the most wins, finishing
second in the North Plains
District Tournament, and
with a final record of 36-
21 overall. Jameson was
named the conference's
Most Valuable Pitcher af-
ter being named the confer-
ence's MVP in his freshman
season.
Along with a Confer-
ence MVP and a Confer-
ence Pitcher of the Year
award, Jameson was a
two-time all-conference se-
lection along with being
named to the All-Region
and All- District teams
both years. Jameson has
also been inducted into
the Williston State College
Hall of Fame and is part of
the All-Decade team for the
school. The Tetons rolled
in conference play, going
16-4 overall. Both seasons
Jameson was a Teton, the
team won the Region XIII
championship.
DISTRICT
TOURNAMENT
In the first game at
their district tournament
held in Williston, N.D. on
Friday, May 19, James-
on was called on to pitch
against Miles City Commu-
nity College. Almost going
the distance, he lasted 8
2/3 innings, striking out an
impressive 13 batters, al-
lowing only one earned run
and only five total hits. The
Tetons' bats were hot and
heavy behind their pitcher
scoring 9 runs for a final
score of 9-1. Powell native
Tyler England, who played
with Jameson on the
Powell Pioneers, racked up
three RBIs on three hits in-
cluding a homerun.
The Tetons' second
game didn't go quite as
smoothly. They faced the
fourth-ranked team in
the nation in Des Moines
Area Community Col-
lege immediately after
their game against Miles
City Community College.
Jameson's 3-for-5 perfor-
mance at the plate wasn't
enough to rally past the
DMACC Bears' offense
and they lost 11-3.
On Saturday, May 20,
the Tetons found them-
selves in a rematch against
DMACC. Again, they could
not overcome the Bears and
lost 8-3.
The Williston State
Tetons finished the season
ranked number 15 in the
national poll.
Jameson finished his
sophomore season with
a team leading .383 bat-
ting average, 59 hits, 2
homeruns and 41 runs
scored. A 7-1 record and
a 1.79 ERA on the mound
led to him being named
Conference Pitcher of the
Year.
"Scotty has been an in-
strumental part of the pro-
gram the last two years,"
head baseball coach Shawn
Cote commented. "He is a
great player and an even
better person. WSC has
been lucky to have such a
great individual in the pro-
gram."
Jameson has had some
tough decisions to make,
as he has been recruited by
more than 15 schools, rang-
ing from NAIA to Division
I. After taking a recruit-
ing trip to Kearney, Neb.,
Jameson has decided to be-
come a "Loper." Jameson
signed his National Letter
of Intent early this summer
and is due in Kearney Au-
gust 20.
"We are very excited
to add Scotty Jameson to
the University of Nebras-
ka at Kearney baseball
program," head coach Da-
mon Day said. "After a suc-
cessful season at Williston
State we were impressed
with his abilities and what
we thought he could do for
our program. We feel he
has the ability to anchor
our infield, be a positive
force in our batting order
and bring us a successful
pitcher on the mound. We
are truly excited to have
Scotty Jameson be a part of
the University of Nebraska
at Kearney baseball pro-
gram."
To the Phantom/host crew that
picked up Jones/Park and all the
trash and remains of the Byron Days
celebration ...
THANK
YOU!
Your commitment and dedication to
do this each and every year for our
community does not go unnoticed
and we know who you are!
A sincere thankyou alsogoes out to all
who volunteered and helped make this
Byron Days the best celebration ever!
Summer Safety
Nearly 70 percent of Americans have
been involved in some kind of summer
emergency, ranging from insect bites to
heat stroke and other life-threatening
situations.
With the high temperatures that we
have been experiencing this summer
listed below are some tips if you do find
yourself facing a summer emergency.
MHS, PA-C
BE SURE TO HYDRATE
• Drink plenty of fluid. Don't wait until you're thirsty to
drink.
• If you must exercise, drink two to four glasses of cool,
nonalcoholic fluids each hour.
• Avoid liquids with alcohol or sugar -- they will cause you
to lose more body fluid.
• Stay away from very cold drinks -- they can cause stom-
ach cramps.
Limit your outdoor
activity to morning and
evening hours and wear
lightweight, light-col-
ored, loose-fitting clothing. Monitor young children and
elderly people because they are more sensitive to heat
exhaustion or heat stroke. Body temperature can rise to
I06°F or higher within I0 to 15 minutes. A very important
tip for summer health is to drink enough fluids -- hydrate,
hydrate, hydrate.
SIGNS OF HEAT STROKE
If they have a body temperature above 103 degrees, red,
hot dry skin, and no sweating, means that the body's
sweating mechanism is failing, and the body is unable to
cool down. If the person has a rapid strong pulse, head-
ache, dizziness or nausea -- call 911 and get the victim to a
shady area. In the meantime, try to cool the victim rapidly
using whatever methods you can like spraying them with
cool water from a hose.

WYOMING WOLF PROBLEM
Prior to the 1995 wolf reintroduction, Wyoming had, after I00
.years of wildlife management, the largest an,sLncentration of
wildlife in-thelower 48 states. I remember my I ridlng
back country viewing herds of 100's of elk, mo6^"=eer and
But, no more. We have not seen a moose in Yellowstone in years. After
all those years of wildlife management the indigenous wildlife of the
Yellowstone ecosystem has now been reduced to a hairy pile of wolf
feces.
The wolves the federal government used to repopulate Wyoming,
Idaho and Montana were of several different Canadian sub-species, a
wolf that commonly tops out at 120 to 150 pounds, not the native wolf
that tops out at 90 pounds. The wolves that now inhabit our State are
not, and never have been, indigenous to Wyoming. These wolves are true predators and kill for the sake
of killing.
The federal government lied to us. Nothing new here. Wyoming was told that we would get 10
packs each in the State of Wyoming, Idaho and Montana, all to be within the Yellowstone Park boundaries.
Later, the federal's changed their minds, wanting 15 packs in Wyoming outside the Park, for a total of
25 packs! We now have a pack in the Big Horns! This pack will only grow in numbers.
I know of few ranchers who have not been deeply affected by the reintroduction of the wolf.
Ranchers in affected areas lose calves and livestock by the score. As if rancher's didn't have enough
problems! Just ask a rancher how easy it is to get reimbursed for livestock losses.
Governor Mead has been negotiating with the federal's over the wolf issue. The Wyoming
Game and Fish Commission recently voted to allow hunters to kill up to 52 wolves in this State
in the fall. Governor Mead remains hopeful that Congress will act to exempt the State's wolf
management plan from legal challenges he expects from environmental groups. Wyoming's
approval is the latest in a series of State actions since our Governor reached a deal last summer
with the U. S. Department of the Interior to end federal protections of wolves in the State. Federal
approval of wolf delisting in Wyoming may happen by fall of 2012, Don't hold your breath, it's an
election year.
The agreement would require Wyoming to maintain at least 10 breeding pairs of wolves and
at least 100 individual animals outside Yellowstone Park and the Wind River Reservation. Under
the Wyoming plan, trophy hunting of wolves in a flex zone around Yellowstone Park will be permitted
beginning in October, 2012. Again, 52 permits are slated to be issued. Wolves in the rest of the
State would be classified as predators that would be shot on sight year round.
The deal sounds good and Governor Mead should be congratulated for his efforts. However,
the fly in the ointment is that this deal still has not been exempt from legal challenges.
Congresswoman Lummis has worked to get this exemption, but, without success thus far. If the
past is any indication, and knowing the left as I do, the screwball environmentalists are lining up in
full battle array to find a sympathetic federal judge to sue the State of Wyoming. Once that
happens, the agreement and all of our Governor's efforts will be of little use and the people of
Wyoming will be back to square one.
I am proud to announce that WyWatch,
Wyoming's premiere conservative political action €ommittee
has endorsed my candidacy for House, District 26.
