The wife of a former Wyo-ming highway trooper involved in a violent plot was arrested on multiple felony charges follow-ing a high-speed pursuit that started in Douglas the morning of September 6th.

Andrea Ryle, wife of Jo-seph Ryle, Jr., was arrested on charges of larceny and child endangerment af-ter the chase ended when a pickup truck, stolen by Ryle, rolled onto its top after colliding with a Con-verse County Sheriff's pa-trol unit at milepost 19 on WYO 18/20.

Earlier this year, Joseph Ryle, while on duty as a Wyoming Highway Patrol trooper, stopped a Wal-Mart truck with plans to murder its driver and fab-ricate an accident with the truck that would either in-jure Ryle or kill his wife.

Ryle then planned to seek settlement from Wal-Mart as a result of the accident.

According to the affidavit filed on September 11th, Andrea Ryle, 33, was ob-served at 1:15 a.m. driv-ing a maroon Ford pickup truck without its lights on by the Douglas Police De-partment. After attempting and failing to stop the ve-hicle, Ryle then acceler-ated to more than 75 mph, as the DPD followed. Af-ter a lenghy chase through Douglas, Ryle drove on to I-25 at the 135 Inter-change, where units from the Converse County Sheriff's Office joined the pursuit, which eventually ended with the rollover of the pickup. At the scene, it was revealed, that in addi-tion to Ryle, two six-year-old children were passen-gers in the truck, which the case file identified as her children.

GLENROCK’S FOUR ACES

4 ACES BURGLEDSometime between the morning hours of 2:30 and 4:00 a.m. on Tuesday, September 15th, the 4 Aces Restaurant was bur-

glarized. According to Glenrock Police Officer Larramendy,

An undetermined amount of money was stolen from the safe and although there was a broken sky-light and the lock on the drive-through window had been broken, it is not

yet known exactly how the perpetrators entered and exited the premises. Police were called to the scene at approximately 4:00 a.m. after one of the morning maintenance people discovered the damage. There are no current suspects and the investigation is ongoing.

Rachel’s Challenge, a pro-gram to promote compas-sion and caring, was held in the Glenrock Intermediate Middle School auditorium on Tuesday, September14th. The speaker for Rachel’s Challenge was brought in by Glenrock’s High School chapter of the FCCLA to help reinforce the message of having compassion for your fellow man. On April 20th, 1999, Dy-lan Klebold and Eric Harris carried out the worst school

shooting in American history when they en-tered Columbine High

School in Colorado, and shot and killed 12 fellow students and one teacher.

The event lasted for less than an hour, and has rung throughout the world since. The first student killed in the rampage was a very spe-cial girl named Rachel Joy Scott.

Because of her loving and kind nature, a program called ‘Rachel’s Challenge’ has been implemented in her

honor. Rachel was the underdog’s champion. This lovely young woman would seek out those

The Herders continued their winning streak, which now stands at 13 including

last year's perfect 11 game season, scoring early and often as they beat Tongue River 45-26 Friday night in Glenrock.

Despite Tongue River scoring first, the Herders answered back as Murphy Johnston found the end zone twice, and running back Austin Smith added six points from 30 yards out. The Herders, who scored on three consecu-tive possessions, battled

its way back to a 32-6 halftime lead, thanks in large part to the passing

game, as senior quarter-back Kyle Farley found an

open Dustin Worthington for a 34-yard touchdown.

In the second half, Farley again ignited the Herder offense with two runs for a score, as Glenrock in-creased their lead by 26.

Overall, the Herders ground out 399 rushing yards, and 506 yards of total offense. with Smith leading the way 181 yards. Not far behind was im-pressive duo of Johnston

with 135 yards and Dustin Worthington adding 100 yards.In the victory, both Smith and Johnston carried the

ball 17 times, with Wor-thington grinding out his first 100of the season on only two carries. Farley finished the game 3 of 7 passing for 107 yards.

The Herders face off against Thermopolis next Friday on the road.

If you’ve ever driven into Rolling Hills, you are well aware that the main road through town is a bit less than….well, smooth. Good news for the lovely citizens of the Town of Rolling Hills--55 Ranch Road is slated to be re-surfaced soon! County Commissioner Ed Werner spoke with The Glenrock Bird to explain the partic-ulars of just how much of the road will be repaired. Prior to Rocky Moun-tain Power putting in the wind farm north of Roll-ing Hills, 55 Ranch Road already needed some re-pairs. The several year old pavement was begin-ning to show signs of its age, and though the coun-ty makes a valiant effort to keep up with routine maintenance on the road, eventually everything wears out and 55 Ranch Road is no exception. When the series of wind

farms were put in place at the reclaimed Dave Johnston Coal

Mine site, ‘impact as-sistance’ funds were di-rected to local governing agencies by the Industrial Siting Council. These funds were directed to Converse County, Glen-rock, Douglas, and Roll-ing Hills--all areas that would be affected by the construction of such a large-scale project. The funds are to help mini-mize any impacts to the area during this construc-tion (extra large vehicles traveling up and down roads, for example), and even though 55 Ranch Road wasn’t used as the main source for Rocky Mountain Powers larger deliveries, money was al-lotted by the county from the impact funds to repair the road. Our Road and Bridge Foreman was then sent out to the area to obtain an engineering estimate for the repairs to 55

Ranch Road. “We hoped we could do the whole thing,” Commissioner Werner stated. Unfortu-nately, that wasn’t the case. When the Road and Bridge Foreman relayed the estimate, it was dis-covered that the amount needed to repair the road would be more than had been allotted for the proj-ect, even with additional general fund money and according to Werner, “We were a couple of miles short of getting the whole thing.” The repairs will go for-ward, however, and the county plans to do an overlay and repair the ‘soft spots’ of the road. Repairs are slated to be-gin during the 2010 road construction ‘season’ and as Commissioner Werner put it, “We’ll go as far as we can with the money we have.”


55 RANCH ROAD TO RECEIVE MUCH NEEDED FACELIFT

ROLLING HILLS

During the September 14th Glenrock Town Council meeting, the Council presented its Volunteer Award to The Industrial Company Wyo-ming Incorporated (TIC). The Casper-based compa-ny, which is in the process of completing an air qual-ity project at the power plant, was recognized for its volunteer work at the South Rec Rodeo Arena and Senior Center.

Community Development Director Kathy Patceg said TIC was nominated for the award by a combi-nation of people.

Norm DeCas-tro, senior opera-tions manager at TIC, picked up the award for the company and out-lined how TIC has made an impact in the community. "We've done quite a bit of work out at the roping/ro-deo arena. We re-worked where the cattle come in the shoots, and we re-worked where the backstops for the roping horses and bulldogging hors-es back up against it. It was original-ly kind of hazard for people and the livestock. What we did made it easier to get livestock in and out, and also for people to move

around in the facility and work the shoots."

DeCastro, who has been with TIC for 20 years, said the company became involved with the project after he attended a City Council meeting where Roping Club President Jim Schell discussed some of the problems with arena, as well as the difficulties of find-ing volunteers. After the meeting, DeCastro said he pulled Schell aside, introduced himself and told him that TIC would like to become involved. For TIC and

Schnell it was a win-win situation. "We knew it would be a great project for welding apprentices," DeCastro said. "We've got a welding trailer out here and we teach people how to weld when we're on site. A guy can only weld little pieces of metal together for so long. It's nice to have something where you go out and do some layout and fabrica-tion, measuring, just kind of a real world project."

In addition to the arena, TIC has also volunteered work with Senior Center, manufacturing clothes racks for its garage sale.

The company next plans to make new brackets for the light poles in Glen-rock so that the poles can again be adorned with ornaments during Christ-mas. "It's not that big of a deal," DeCastro admitted. "Steel is cheap, and these guys are more than happy to do it."

DeCastro also said TIC was pleased to receive the Volunteer Award. "It's nice to get a thank you sometimes. It made me feel really good. I came back and told the guys all about it. We do our best to fit in with the commu-nity."

Another amazing event to celebrate Glenrock’s 100th year took place on Saturday, September 12th. An old-fashioned Pie So-cial and dance was held at the Deer Creek Activities Hall south of Glenrock. Hosted by the lovely la-dies of the Deer Creek Homemakers Club, the event was attended by more than 60 people ready to enjoy the danc-ing and homemade pies created for the occasion. Charging $5 at the door, the group offered chili

and hotdogs along with lemonade and coffee to the dancers and pie lov-

ers on hand. Why have a pie social? Rita Retig, Vice President of the DCHC answered this question when she explained, “We had the box social in August and it went over so well that people asked to do anoth-er dance, so we decided instead of doing a box social we would do a pie social this time.” A silent auction was held for the pies themselves with an opening bid of

$5 required--and who wouldn’t want to bid on delicious pies ranging in flavor from Caramel Apple to Blackberry and Butterscotch to Pe-can? The simple, but won-derful time of visiting with friends, eating great food, and danc-ing with your sweetie brings out the nostalgia in people. One of the social’s patrons, Dy-ron Stamm stated with a sigh, “It reminds me of the old-time danc-

es…out on the prairie…” and Joyce Hammel (who ‘follows the band’ in or-der to keep dancing with husband Mickey) said with a smile, “Oh, they’re

great!” If you’ve never attended one of the Homemak-ers’ social events, keep your ear to the ground and make plans to….you won’t be disappointed.

The area itself evokes feelings of being taken back in time to a point when gatherings such as this were commonplace and very special events. Add to that the amazing group of people in charge

of these things and you are in for one of the best times of your life! There’s no word yet on when the next social will be held (weather keeps them from being held dur-

ing the winter), but you can bet that as soon as The Glenrock Bird hears, so will you.

VOLLEYBALL!

Against a strong field, one that included two large high schools from Montana, the Herder Cross Country Team continued to boost their times at the September 11th Wayne Chaney Memorial Cross Coun-try Invitational.

In Gillette, the Herd-ers ran against Billings Senior, Billings West, Buffalo, Campbell County, Kelly Walsh, Laramie, Normative Services, Rock River, Sheridan, Twin Spruce and Wright.

The team was again paced by the girl's var-sity duo of senior Mary Nelson (21:26), who finished 19th, and ju-nior Marrisa Widiker (22:18), who crossed the finish line in 26th. The boy's varsity was led by junior Danny Walters' time of 20:16, which was good enough for a 65th place finish. Fellow junior Kurry An-derson was close behind at 21:45, finishing 70th.

Freshman Dustin Horn led the boy's JV team,

which finished 9th at the Invitational, with a

time of 21:10. Follow-ing Horn were sopho-mores Cody Grense-

man (21:53) and Brandon Pittsley (22:10). Freshmen Noah Eitel (24:53) and Lane Blakeley (25:43) crossed the line fourth and fifth for the team, with sophomore Steven Flynn (33:14) rounding out the effort for the Herders.

The girl's JV team, which finished 10th, was led by senior Kylie Walters (27:02). Not far behind was sophomore Jes-sica Grant (28:36), senior Shaynna Hoyt (29:18), junior Chanel Doherty (29:34) and senior Hayley Allington (22:18).

"The placing the kids got did not show how well they ran," Coach Al Finch said. "Everyone of them ran their best times of the year and that's what we shoot for. It was really good to see that."

In particular, Finch said that Eitel and Blakeley knocked off four to five minutes from their previ-ous best time. He added that Pittsley and Grense-man also ran strong.

Finch attributed the im-pressive showing to a

young team that is begin-ning to gain experience. "For some it was their second full 5K, and I think some were worried about running the first one. I think we actually raced this one."

The Herders run next at the September 18th Douglas Invitational.

GHS CROSS COUNTRY TEAM CONTINUESTO IMPROVEStaff Reporter - Pat Callahan

In a state tournament-like atmosphere, the Lady Herder Volleyball Team more than held their own and could very well be headed for their first ap-pearance at state in more than a decade.

At the September 12th Rawlins Invitational the Lady Herders brought home the Consolation Championship thanks to a tie for third in the Gold Bracket. However, this was no ordinary finish or invitational. This time around the competition included all the 3A vol-leyball teams. Sixteen teams in all, vying to be named among the state's elite.

Glenrock established their presence early, fin-ishing an impressive 5-1 in pool play as a result of splitting matches with the previously undefeated Panthers from Powell.

But after advancing to bracket play, the Herders dropped matches to home team host Rawlins 21-8 and 21-7.

Rawlins went on to play in the Gold Bracket Championship game against Wheatland, with Wheatland prevailing 21-16, 17-21, 12-15.

In the Silver Bracket, Pinedale finished first af-

ter beating Worland. Newcastle downed Lander for third, and

Douglas beat Torrington for fifth.Despite the loss to Rawl-ins, Coach Tara Chandler remained upbeat about her team's performance. "I think it went great," Chandler said. "It was great to be in that Gold Bracket because you had all 16 teams there. And by the time you make it to the bracket play, it's like a mini state tournament be-cause it was the top eight teams in 3A. And that's how it is with state. It was nice to make that. I think that it was a confidence builder, to actually go in there and place and to de-feat two opponents from the other conference. I just wish we would have competed better against Rawlins. Still it was nice to know not only are we probably good enough to make it to state, we could actually place when we get there."

Chandler said it was dif-ficult to point out an in-dividual performance at the invite due to the fact that a different person led statistically in each game. She did, however, mention the play of ju-nior Becky Downs, not-ing that she had the most solid tournament. Downs led the team in kills, was a consistent blocker and is currently leading the Lady Herders in hitting

percentage.

Chandler said the team felt good about its per-formance at the invite despite some initial trepi-dation against the tough competition. "I think there's still that we're not as good as this team feel-ing," the Coach admitted. "But I think that after we started playing and once we actually played it was like, 'Wow. We can com-pete with these teams.'"

Nonetheless, Chandler also acknowledged that she does on occasion have to keep the team in check. "Oh yeah I do. And I told them now the difference is not going to be talent, it's going to be who works the hardest. I use it as a motivator. We may have as much skill as those teams, but now it's going to be a matter of who is working the hardest between now and regionals."

And perhaps the biggest test comes this week as the Lady Herders return to conference play with games against Wheat-land, Douglas and Buf-falo. The team faces Wheatland at home Sep-tember 22nd, Douglas on the road September 24th before returning home September 26th to battle Buffalo.

ARE THE LADIES ON THE ROAD TO STATE? COULD BE FIRST TIME IN OVER A DECADE

LADY FROSH COME HOME CHAMPS!

Glenrock's Freshmen Volleyball Team trav-eled to the Buffalo Invi-tational last Saturday and came home the champs. The Lady Herders only dropped two of 13 games

at the invite before reach-ing the championship against Wheatland, who they then beat in three straight matches, finish-ing off the Bulldogs by a score of 15-13.

To date, the team has played strong and matched the varsity's Absaraka Conference record of 3-0.

While the team doesn't officially track statistics, first-year Freshmen Vol-leyball Coach Meghan Ferguson said several key players, specifically Ana Kroll, Charlotte East, Bre-anna Farley and Brooke Kissack, played outstand-ing at the invitational.

Ferguson said Kroll, a right side hitter, only missed one serve in 16

total matches, while East and Farley provided much needed consis-tency in kills and blocks.

Ferguson added that Kissack, who is the team's libero, was the team's most dependable passer and digger. "Without her we would have been in

trouble," Ferguson said of Kissack. "She just was ev-erywhere, all over the court. It was awsome." At the invitational, the Lady Herders' two losses came against Worland in pool play. They then went on to reel off eight straight, beating Doug-las, then Buffalo in the semi finals before advancing to the championship game.

Ferguson said she has been stressing consistency since the beginning of the season, and it was just that that led to the invitational title on Sat-urday.

Overall, the team is made up of 15 freshmen this year. Ferguson, who previously coached at Glenrock's mid-dle school and continues to coach AAU (The Amateur Athletic Union) volleyball, said this season has not been

without its challenges. "We have a solid group of play-ers, but it's a very wide range right now. I have to play every freshmen. So trying to get in the freshmen that have never played volleyball before is a real challenge. There's about eight of the girls who have

been playing together since the 4th or 5th grade (on AAU teams, which is club volley-ball played in the spring). Then you have the other seven thrown into that mix, I'm trying to catch them up and balance. So we're really working on consistency. Try-ing to get those other seven up to their level."

The team returns to the court next against conference op-RESULTS

In thinking about what differentiates the cowgirl spirit from that of the pio-neer spirit I came to the conclusion that they were so similar as to be one in the same. The spirit of the cowgirl is one of a tough femininity. My vision of the cowgirl is a beautiful weathered face beneath the brim, comfort-able astride a paint horse, gazing into the distant ho-rizon through the dust of cattle into an orange twi-light. She’s not clean, or fancy, or even aware that her inner-strength is really where her beauty origi-nates. Wyoming cowgirls have made history throughout the decades from women’s suffrage to outrageous personalities who could shoot, ranch and ride a horse, famous authors and political figures have all made up what the cowgirl spirit is today. In the next few weeks we will explore

those from our past and take a peek at the cow-girls present in our lives today. True cowgirls are seen in every walk of west-ern life. In my opinion, although the landscape has changed as well as the availability of mod-ern technology, the spirit of the cowgirl is much the same. They not only work tirelessly for their ranches and families, but they lend a gentle quality in every effort. They can run the ranch, work the job, be a lov-ing parent, faithful wife, considerate daughter and valued friend. The tenacity displayed to get the work done combined with the humility, humor and grace to let their light shine on those they love is what gives them an inward glow equally as brilliant as that setting orange sun through the dust on the horizon.

students who were picked on, put down, or just new to the school without any friends, and she would go out of her way to make sure they felt included and safe. She lived by a code of ethics that many of us would do good to emu-late. In one of her school essays, Rachel discussed her code and explained it like this: “My biggest aspects of ethics include being hon-est, compassionate, and looking for the best and beauty in everyone.”… “My definition of com-passion is forgiving, lov-ing, helping, leading, and showing mercy for others. I have this theory that if one person can go out of their way to show compassion then it will start a chain reaction of the same.” … “My codes may seem like a fantasy that can never be reached, but test them for yourself, and see the kind of effect they have in the lives of people around you. You just may start a chain re-

action.”

Words this powerful from such a young person are extremely rare--and ex-tremely wonderful. After

she was killed, many of the people Rachel had touched contacted her family to let them know just how much she had meant to them. After this outpouring, her father vowed to himself and to his daughter’s memory that her death would not be in vain….thus Rachel’s Chal-lenge was born. The mission statement for Rachel’s Challenge, found on their website, reads: ‘We exist to inspire, equip and empower every person to create a permanent posi-tive culture change in their school, business, and com-munity by starting a chain reaction of kindness and compassion.’ The group has 30 speakers that travel world-wide, spreading Ra-chel’s message of love and caring, and is partnered with such quality of life groups as Foundation for a Better Life, National Character Educa-tion Center, Teen Impact Magazine, and Big Brothers, Big Sisters. “Rachel’s Challenge” Pre-

senter Rob Schmidt, talked about the impacts the pro-gram has on the people who hear it. “I think the biggest impact that this story has is that it just highlights…the power of a single act of kindness or compassion,” he said, “We just never know…how our words are going to impact [a] person’s life.” Schmidt has spoken his way through several states, in-cluding Florida, Vermont, and Wyoming (of course), and will soon be speak-ing in New York and New Hampshire. He has wit-nessed first-hand how the challenge laid down by a young girl from Colorado has affected the people he’s spoken to. To him, this is no surprise, “When you hear the stories, you begin to un-derstand how what you say and what you do really does have power behind it, and so we become more aware of that,” he said.

Obama Admits Cap and Tax Scheme Will Cost Families $1,726 per yearSecret Obama report con-tradicts Democrats’ claims that Cap and Tax Won’t Cost Americans

September 17, 2009

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The cap and tax schemes proposed by Democrats will cost families over $1,700 per year and cost taxpayers up to $200 billion according to a previously secret Obama Administra-tion report.

“This once-secret report confirms everything we al-

ready knew about the Presi-dent’s energy tax scheme. This is yet another example of the Administration keep-ing secret the hidden costs of this energy tax,” Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) said.

The secret document was made public only after the Competitive Enterprise In-stitute used the Freedom of Information Act to force its disclosure.

“Cap and tax will severely raise the energy costs of families. It will hurt our small and large businesses. It is bad for families, it is

bad for jobs and it is bad for our economy.”“The authors of the bill and the Administration will be delivering another blow to the American taxpayer. This means destroying many red, white and blue jobs, and substituting a few green jobs in their place,” Barrasso said.

“President Obama prom-ised transparency. Before passing climate change legislation that funda-mentally changes the American economy and way of life, we must un-derstand its fi-

nancial impacts. The Administration must not hide the cost from the American taxpayer.”

POLICE CHASE

Neither Ryle or the chil-dren were wearing seat-belts during the duration of the pursuit, according to the affidavit. Ryle was transported to Memo-rial Hospital of Con-verse County to have her blood drawn in oder to determine if drugs or alcohol were factors, as well as to examined by emergency room staff.

In a summons filed Sep-tember 16th, Ryle faces felony charges of lar-ceny and attempted lar-ceny (according to the Douglas Police Depart-ment, Ryle attempted to first steal a Jeep), and misdemeanor charges of eluding, reckless driv-ing, and two charges of child endangerment.

The two felony charges

carry with them the pos-sibility of 10 year prison sentence, a fine totaling not more than $10,000, or both. Each of of misdemeanors are punishable by a prison sentence of a year or less, a fine totaling not more than $1,000, or both.

Ryle is currently being held on $25,000 bail.

Converse County Under-sheriff said there was no additional information available at this time.

Joseph Ryle meanwhile plead guilty on July 20th in federal court in Wyoming to depriving a man of his constitutional right to be free from unreasonable sei-zures by kidnapping him. Joseph Ryle also pleaded guilty to one count of bran-dishing a firearm during the crime and remains in federal custody until sen-tencing. He is being held in Scottsbluff, Neb.

Converse County just re-ceived a boost from U.S. Department of Health in the form of a grant award agreement for public health preparedness and response for bioterrorism for the Wyoming De-partment of Health and Converse County Public Health Nursing Services. The term of the grant runs through October 1st through September 30th, 2010. It has yet to be de-cided how the funds will be dispersed, but accord-ing to two officials it most likely will go towards H1N1 health and aware-ness.

"There have been a cou-

ple of grants committed to several counties," said Sha-ron Kilmer, manager of the Converse County Health Department. "The state is in the process of working on how this will be apportioned to each county."

Kilmer said, although she could not currently specify, she thought money from the grant would most likely go towards battling the ongoing H1N1 epidemic. "In sev-eral weeks, I should know more."

Kim Deti, the public infor-mation officer for the Wyo-ming Department of Health said the organization distrib-utes monies it receives from the Centers of Disease Con-trol to the state's counties. "It is not all that unusual, and

the money typically goes to general health preparedness and general health activi-ties," Deit said.

According to Deti, counties are also receiving money this year, not just for awareness, but also to battle the flu, spe-cifically H1N1. "We've got a little bit of a different situa-tion this year," Deti said. "A lot of the money this year will go towards flu vaccina-tions."

The Wyoming Department of Health distributes federal grant money to each of the state's counties, however, the amount is based on pop-ulation.

The funds fall under the The Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002, which authorized more than $1.5 billion in grants to help

states, local governments and healthcare facilities improve planning and preparedness, enhance lab capacity, train personnel and to develop new drugs and vaccines.

Fisher; the Clausens from Minnesota; and Wiscon-sin's Malay, Drewer and Hillsheim. The remaining seven teams were classi-fied as C Teams.

The group celebrated the Bow Hunt on September 13th at Fort Diablo. The event's organizer Mark Gates said this year's hunt went well. "It went great. It always goes great. We had a lot of past hunter teams return. Overall, they could have arrowed a lot of does or young stuff. And that's the neat thing about archery, they're pretty con-servative. They're just not out here to harvest or kill. They're good, conserva-tion-minded people. But I believe there were a total of five deer killed. Every-one had a good time. There was some shots that were taken and were missed. You always have that in archery. And many shots turned down, many."

Texas' Bryant and Geor-gia's Millican took home the evening's biggest awards, including first in the Class C division, as well as Big Buck Award, thanks to Bryant's 4-point kill and Millican's 3-point score, which was shot from an impressive 65 yards.

The duo, loosely known as The Tall Texan and The Georgia Peach, have taken part in the Bow Hunt the last six years. Bryant was humble when asked about his 4-point buck and the hunt. "I don't know. He always says old age and treachery," Bryant said referring Millican. "So maybe I'll stick with that. We enjoy it. We're always treated great around here. We enjoy the people and look forward to coming back as long as Mark will have us."

Millican, who drove from Atlanta, picking Bryant up along the way, is the defending Georgia State Field Archery champion. As for his long shot, he said Bryant first spotted the 3 by 3 from roughly 200 yards. From there, Millcan said he crawled in order to get within 65 yards of the buck. "I'm confident in shooting from long dis-tances," Millican said. "He was standing there at 65 yards and I ranged him, moved my sight and it was a perfect shot. He ran about

50 yards and just fell over. Everything was perfect. He wasn't looking. It was broadside, so everything worked out real well."

In the Class A division, the Wisconsin team of Malay, Hillsheim and Drewer took first after Hillsheim took a 2 by 1 whitetail and Malay arrowed an 85-pound doe.

"We had a great time," Hillsheim said. "The peo-ple are great. "It was great trip. I hope to come back."

Missouri's Lloyd Aber-nathy, who has been com-ing out for the past 20 years, and made it this year despite leg cancer, echoed Hillsheim's sentiments. "I enjoy the people. You meet some really nice folks out here. It ain't because of the game, I'll tell you that."

The evenings most touch-ing moment came when Kim Clausen disclosed that their team had in-cluded a third member, Kyle Nardinger. However, Nardinger was tragically killed in unfortunate ac-cident this summer. Kim Clausen went on to emo-tionally tell the group that herself, husband Brian and Nardinger, as mem-bers of the Minnesota State Archery Associa-tion, had been applying for

this particular hunt for several years and were finally drawn in January. On July 9th, the Clausen's archery club was set-ting up for a weekend 3D shoot on wooded property. Nardinger and another person were staking a 3D target into the ground on a calm, windless night when a 30-inch deadfall tree di-rectly above Nardinger fell and struck him, killing him instantly.

"He was my husband's best friend," Clausen told the group about Kyle Nardinger. "He was the nicest person you could ever want to meet. He's been a role model to the youth in our archery club, he was a board member on our archery club, and he was traditional shoot-er through and through. He would never want to touch a compound bow. This past year at our state archery competition, he

actually won first place in the state competition for Male Traditional Shoot-ers. He would have loved this trip. Out on the ranch we were hunting, the Sulli-van Ranch, there is a trout stream that runs through there, and if he would have found that trout stream he probably would have put his bow on the ground and just fished the whole time we were here. He's not here with us, but he is here in spirit and I just didn't want him to be forgotten because he is a part of our team. And we really miss him. This has been a bit-tersweet trip for us, but we enjoyed ourselves and had a good time."

Following Clausen, Mark Gates summed up the eve-ning nicely. "Family and good friends. That's what is important."
