No ranch management
CODY (WNE) —- The Beartooth Ranch, a
657-acre property sitting along the drainage
of the Clarks Fork Canyon of the Yellowstone
River, will continue looking for a manager
that is properly equipped for handling its
needs into the near future.
At a Nov. 17 Wyoming Game and Fish
Commission meeting, the board decided with
a 5-1 vote to reject a proposal for G&F to take
over management of the property. Currently,
the ranch is managed by the Office of State
Lands and Investments.
The G&F Commission appeared uncon-
vinced its management would significantly
alter the nature of the area or future opportuni-
ties therein. '
Len Fortunato, Beartooth Ranch committee
chairman, argued that under the management
of the Game and Fish, wildlife would be better
managed and hunters, fishermen and other
recreationalists would be better served.
G&F has been responsible for managing an
easement to the river that crosses through the
ranch and also maintains the ranch’s access
road, boat launch, parking lots and a recently
installed comfort station.
“What are you providing access to?”
Fortunato said. “Marginal hunting, fishing,
recreational opportunities. The people in Park
County want that to be better.”
G&F Deputy Director John Kennedy
argued public access, habitat conservation
and G&F wildlife management already taking
place on the property, and other priorities in
the region, make the property unworthy of a
G&F overhaul of property management.
G&F leaders did leave an open invitation
for the Ranch Committee to return to the com-
mission for assistance on individual projects
and habitat improvement plans.
Weather helps WYDOT
GREYBULL (WNE)
— The fall-like weather is
allowing WYDOT, to breathe a
sigh of relief due to the money
being saved in the midst of a
budget cut.
According to Cody Beers, a
spokesperson for WYDOT, the
dry, drought-like fall weather
has saved them money state-
wide. With the lack of snow,
there are no plows out on the
highway. There has been only
one snowstorm this year, but
it only brought a couple of
mohes. L L
Beers said whenever a state
vehicle is out on the road,
that is money that is being
spent. This money comes from
maintenance, which was cut
significantly this summer.
Not only do they save
money due to no equipment
running, there is no overtime
as well.
The warm weather has
blessed WYDOT as well in
being able to catch up on fall
and winter work.
Last year, the snow came in
October, and Beers said winter
weather prevailed until around
March.
I, “We are going to need
2 l,,f_sornev,§n0w,” said Beers.
However, he noted the sig-
nificant amount of moisture
occurs in the spring.
When it does snow, Beers
said WYDOT will continue to
plow like it normally does.
The main priority is bus
routes that are plowed twice a
day in order for kids to go to
and from school.
During the storm, Beers
said they will make a pass on
each side and then come back
once the storm has cleared.
The WYDOT crew in Basin
is the same one that plows
through Greybull, to Shell
and up the mountain on US
Highway 14 and west through
Emblem toward Cody, among
other highways.
Despite the cuts, Beers
said not a lot of change would
occur in the area.
Money for long-term care
CASPER (WNE) ~— Wyoming will put
$10 million of federal pandemic relief dollars
toward staffing nursing homes and assisted
living facilities.
COVID-l9 has continually spread through
deaths since the Wyoming Department of Health
last published new numbers Nov. 19. Nine loca-
tions reported COVID-19 cases Friday for the
first time in the last two weeks, representing
nearly 24% of all long-term care facilities
these locations, with the Wyoming Department
of Health announcing Friday that 81 residents of
long-term care facilities have now died from the
virus an increase of 42% over the last two
weeks.
that have reported cases since the pandemic
emerged. ,
The coronavirus has infected 1,300 staff
and residents at 38 facilities statewide since the
pandemic began.
The"$10 million will be used to hire trav-
eling nurses and nursing aides to facilities in
need of staff, according to a release published
Friday by Gov. Mark Gordon’s office. Eighty-
eight such personnel have been hired for
temporary contracts at Wyoming long-term care
facilities, with more likely on the way.
Friday’s data update was an increase of 24
Casper’s nursing homes have shouldered
much of that burden. Two local care centers
account for the highest death tolls of any
facility in the state: Shepherd of the Valley
Rehabilitation and Wellness, which has lost
24 residents to the deadly virus, and Casper
Mountain Rehabilitation and Care Center, which
has lost 13 residents, according to state data.
Students asked to fill as subs
LARAMIE (WNE) — To
address the shortage of sub-
stitute teachers in Wyoming’s
K-12 schools amid the
COVID-l9 pandemic, the
University of Wyoming is
encouraging its students to
fill that role during the break
between UW’s fall and spring
semesters.
Students in UW’s
College of Education this
week received a letter from
Gov. Mark Gordon and
Superintendent of Public
‘ Instruction Jillian Balow
asking the students who
are certified as substitute
teachers ——- several hundred
upperclassmen are in that
category —— to consider
serving their local K-12
school districts in this
capacity. Additionally, UW
encourages all of its students
who have at least 60 hours
of college credit —— the
minimum required to be
a, substitute teacher —— to
pursue certification from
Wyoming’s Professional
Teaching Standards Board.
UW students who serve
as substitute teachers are
eligible for a service credit
from the university, in addi-
tion to the wages paid by
local school districts.
“We have, in Wyoming,
determined that providing
journalism
the opportunity for our K-12
schools to educate both in
person and virtually is a
priority. (But) our school
districts are struggling to
staff their schools due to
teacher/staff shortages caused
by illness and exposure,”
Governor Gordon and
Superintendent Balow wrote
in their letter to UW students.
“Teachers, paraprofessionals
and school administrators
are all pitching in to cover
classes, but the current situ-
ation is not sustainable... If
you are able to serve our
communities and our students
by substitute teaching, please
consider doing so.”
