In Rawlins, administrators at Memorial Hospital of Carbon County are working to raise awareness about the dangers of sepsis and the importance of early treatment.

MHCC’s Director of Nursing and Inpatient Services Janessa Mann described sepsis as a life-threatening medical emergency triggered by an extreme immune system response, but it can be treated.

Mann said sepsis can affect anyone. The very young, the elderly, and people with autoimmune deficiencies are most at risk. The Director of Nursing said sepsis can often develop when an infection goes untreated or is not properly managed.

Mann said symptoms include tachycardia, an elevated heartbeat, rapid breathing, and changes in body temperature. A low body temperature also can be a sign of sepsis and should not be ignored.

Confusion, intense pain, and cold, clammy skin may also be signs of sepsis.

Mann explained that sepsis can develop when a person fails to complete a full course of antibiotics, allowing bacteria to become drug-resistant and more dangerous.

Director of Nursing Mann also said a person can become septic if they have a compromised immune system or are taking immunosuppressant medications, such as drugs used to prevent organ rejection. Mann added that, in rare cases, a person may develop sepsis without a clearly identifiable cause.

Mann said sepsis is dangerous because it triggers your body’s immune system to attack its own tissues and organs, causing low blood pressure and kidney damage. The Director of Nursing said sepsis patients are typically treated with IV fluids and medications to raise blood pressure.

Mann said taking antibiotics as prescribed and seeking medical care at the first sign of symptoms can help prevent sepsis. However, proper hand hygiene is the most effective way to reduce the risk of infection.

Additionally, managing chronic illnesses such as diabetes and pulmonary disease can help reduce the risk of developing sepsis. Mann said untreated diabetes can make a person especially vulnerable to serious bacterial infections.

If you suspect sepsis, Mann recommended going to the nearest emergency room. Diagnosing the condition requires lab testing that most family practice clinics are not equipped to perform. The Director of Nursing said Memorial Hospital of Carbon County provides comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of medical conditions, including sepsis, all under one roof.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, sepsis is the third leading cause of death in U.S. hospitals. Director of Nursing Mann said that one in five people who contract sepsis die from the disease.

Due to the severity of the disease, administrators at Memorial Hospital of Carbon County are working to raise public awareness about the dangers of sepsis. The Rawlins medical facility has updated its procedures and staff training to ensure patients receive the right care for all illnesses, including sepsis.

In Rawlins, city crews have finished removing debris from the former Lawrence Salvage Yard.

On July 6th, 2024, illegal fireworks sparked the largest fire in the history of Rawlins. The blaze scorched four and a half acres in the East Spruce Street area, with the former Lawrence Salvage Yard sustaining most of the damage.

Four months later, in November 2024, the city began negotiating with property owners Jack and Elden Cozort to buy the land, remove all debris and scrap metal, and eventually sell the 12‑acre parcel to a private developer. The Rawlins City Council narrowly approved the purchase in a 4‑to‑3 vote, agreeing to allocate $230,000 from the Dangerous Building Fund to complete the transaction. The Dangerous Building Fund is an account created to purchase and renovate abandoned and derelict properties in the city.

Between July and August, the city issued a request for bids to remove scrap metal from the Lawrence property.

At the September 16th Rawlins City Council meeting, Buildings Official Mike O’Brien announced that only one contractor had submitted a bid: Steed Metals of Rock Springs, which agreed to pay $41 per ton for the scrap metal. The contractor was given until October 22nd to finish the job.

At the November 4th Rawlins City Council meeting, Interim City Manager Matt Hall announced that Steed Metals had completed its work, removing 384 tons of steel from the former salvage yard.

At the agreed‑upon price of $41 per ton, Steed Metals paid the city $15,744 for the scrap.

Two weeks later, at the November 18th Rawlins City Council meeting, Interim City Manager Hall reported that Public Works crews had finished clearing the Lawrence Salvage Yard, removing another 820 tons of debris from the property.

The next step is for the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality to conduct a brownfields assessment of the site to determine if it contains hazardous materials such as asbestos, lead‑based paint, or industrial chemicals. If contamination is found, the state agency will help the city secure funding to address the issues. If the property is not contaminated, the city may sell it to a private developer.

According to a recent Wyoming Business Council survey, people want to see the state grow, with some arguing that this challenges a perception that state residents oppose development.

During the November 18th Board of Carbon County Commissioners meeting, Wyoming Business Council Chief Strategy Officer Sarah Fitzgerald presented findings from a recent survey measuring attitudes toward economic development. Fitzgerald said the Business Council is often told Wyoming residents don’t support growth.

To gauge public opinion on economic progress, the Wyoming Business Council partnered with the Tarrance Group, a Virginia-based Republican consulting firm, to conduct a statewide survey. Fitzgerald said the results appeared to dispute the perception that residents oppose growth.

The survey included 500 respondents, most from larger population centers such as Casper and Cheyenne. Fitzgerald said the results contradicted some commonly held beliefs, including the notion that Wyoming’s economy is doing fine and doesn’t need expansion. The Wyoming Business Council Chief Strategy Officer presented a graph showing that the state’s gross domestic product, or GDP, is lower than all the surrounding states.

Fitzgerald said Wyoming’s employment rates and wages may be more important economic indicators than GDP. According to the Wyoming Business Council, employment rates have stagnated. Fitzgerald added that salaries in the Cowboy State are among the lowest in the country, making it difficult to pay for basic expenses.

While the population of the state has increased in recent years, Fitzgerald said the workforce has declined. She said that many young people leave the state to find jobs soon after graduation, which has long been true.

The Wyoming Business Council’s survey of voter attitudes toward economic growth shows that 70% of respondents describe their local economy as stagnant or in decline.

Fitzgerald said many Wyoming residents believe the state is bankrupt. However, the Wyoming Business Council reports that the state’s so-called rainy-day fund of nearly $1.5 billion, the largest in the nation. Fitzgerald said state legislators could invest half of those savings into the economy and still have enough money to fund the government for nearly five months.

Fitzgerald said the Wyoming Business Council’s survey appears to contradict the belief that residents are resistant to change, with nearly two‑thirds supporting population growth if it benefits the local economy. Additionally, eight in ten respondents said they want their community to take strong action to expand the economy, and 90 percent agreed that keeping and attracting young people is essential to the state’s future.

Next, Fitzgerald said the common belief is that Wyoming residents do not support raising taxes. However, roughly one‑third of survey respondents indicated they would accept slightly higher taxes if it encouraged economic development.

Fitzgerald said many Wyoming residents believe that lower taxes increase economic opportunities. The Wyoming Business Council Chief Strategy Officer said the state’s tax rates appear to have the opposite effect.

Fitzgerald continued, saying that the Wyoming Business Council is working to address the state’s economic decline through the creation of Wyoming Labs. The proposal aims to generate jobs by inviting skilled labor back into the state with an emphasis on mining and energy extraction.

Fitzgerald cited Radiant Nuclear’s recent decision not to construct a micro-reactor manufacturing facility in Natrona County as proof that Wyoming is tough on businesses. To encourage growth, Fitzgerald urged residents to submit public comments on a proposed $500 million nuclear fuel manufacturing facility near Gillette, spearheaded by BWX Technologies out of Lynchburg, Virginia.

Commissioner Sue Jones said state lawmakers are not working to correct the situation, noting that the Wyoming Joint Revenue Committee is considering repealing the tax exemption on nuclear energy.

Commissioners John Espy and John Johnson objected to using the state’s rainy day fund to create jobs, arguing that the account is essential in Wyoming’s boom‑and‑bust economy. Instead, Commissioner Espy suggested directing a portion of the fund’s interest toward economic growth.

The Board of Carbon County Commissioners agreed that any changes must benefit all of Wyoming, not just one region.

Wyoming Business Council Chief Strategy Officer Sarah Fitzgerald said her organization will continue working to strengthen the state’s economy and plans to poll residents approximately every six months.

The Board of County Commissioners appointed Riverside resident Patricia Davis to the Planning and Zoning Commission, citing her firsthand experience with the impacts of unchecked growth.

The Carbon County Planning and Zoning Commission is responsible for shaping how land in the county is used and developed.

After longtime Planning Commission member Jay Grabow retired last month, county officials invited residents to submit letters of interest to serve on the board. Two volunteers applied for the position, Patricia Davis of Riverside and Katherine Munson of Encampment, prompting the Board of Commissioners to interview both candidates during Tuesday’s meeting.

Patrica Davis was up first. Commission Vice Chairwoman Gwynn Bartlett asked Davis why she wanted to serve on the Planning and Zoning Commission. Davis responded that she moved to Carbon County three years ago from Gallatin County, Montana and does not want Carbon County to experience the kind of overdevelopment she witnessed in her previous home.

In recent years, open spaces around Bozeman, Montana have been replaced by subdivisions and small ranches. Additionally, thousands of new wells have overtaxed local aquifers. Davis attributed those outcomes to a lack of strong developmental oversight.

Next, Commissioner John Johnson asked Davis what she believed needed to be addressed to prevent Carbon County from becoming like Gallatin. The applicant suggested ensuring neighborhoods do not outgrow local utilities and emergency services.

Davis said growth should be concentrated around existing municipalities and subdivisions.

Commissioner Sue Jones explained to Davis that Carbon County is large, with diverse needs across its communities, and asked how she planned to take that into account while serving on the Planning Commission. Davis replied that she will focus on revitalizing underused areas of the county.

Commissioner John Espy elaborated on Commissioner Jones’s comments, saying that residents of the Little Snake River Valley have different needs than those in the Platte Valley or northern Carbon County. Commissioner Espy added that finding solutions for each community while protecting private property rights can be challenging. Davis said she takes private property rights very seriously.

Finally, Commission Chairman Travis Moore asked Davis for her opinion on energy production. The applicant said she supports wind turbines, provided the surrounding land remains available for agriculture. Davis added that all forms of energy production carry both benefits and drawbacks.

In conclusion, Davis said that if selected to serve on the Planning Commission, she would guide development and growth toward appropriate locations within the county.

Next, the Board of Commissioners interviewed Katherine Munson. Vice Chairwoman Bartlett asked Munson why she wished to serve on the Planning and Zoning Commission. The applicant said she wants to direct growth while retaining the fundamental character of Carbon County.

Commissioner Johnson asked Munson if she had any concerns about the way the county is currently being developed. The applicant responded that she would like to play a greater role in how water rights are managed.

Commissioner Jones reiterated that Carbon County is a large and diverse area and asked Munson how she will address that when serving on the Planning Commission. Munson said she will rely on the information available at the time to draw the best conclusions.

Commissioner Espy asked how Munson will balance the needs of the county’s 10 municipalities against private property rights. Munson acknowledged that those rights can make controlling development difficult at times. As a member of the Planning and Zoning Commission, she will work to address those challenges.

Commissioner Johnson said the Planning and Zoning Commission may have to oppose private property rights if, for example, a rancher asks to subdivide land in a way that does not align with the Carbon County Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The Commissioner asked Munson how she would feel about setting policies that could conflict with private property rights. Munson replied that the Planning Commission must consider all the available information before making a determination.

Following the interviews, Commissioner Espy moved to appoint Patricia Davis to the Carbon County Planning and Zoning Commission. Espy said Davis’s experience in Gallatin County, Montana gives her unique insight into the impacts of unchecked growth and development.

The Board voted to appoint Davis to a three‑year term on the Planning and Zoning Commission, set to expire in November 2028, and encouraged Katherine Munson to reapply when another seat becomes available.

The Town of Saratoga is moving ahead with plans for a state‑funded walkway connecting the high school and community center.

In October of 2022, the Saratoga Planning Commission received a $200,000 Wyoming Department of Transportation grant to study potential improvements to the town’s sidewalks and pathways. The Commission used the money to hire Denver-based OV Consulting to design a transportation master plan.

Through a series of public meetings and in-person tours of the town, OV Consulting identified 11 walkway improvement projects, including a new path between the schools and library on Elm Avenue and additional crosswalks along the highway. The proposed projects were compiled into the Saratoga Transportation Alternatives Master Plan, or STAMP.

The governing body chose to focus on the Elm Avenue sidewalk project. During the November 4th Saratoga Town Council meeting, Public Works Director Emery Penner announced that WYDOT is prepared to award the town a $1,444,760 Transportation Alternatives Program, or TAPS, grant.

Penner said that the grant agreement gives the town until December 31st, 2028, to complete the project, adding that the job will likely be finished ahead of the deadline.

WYDOT has agreed to fund 90.49% of the total $1,584,440 project cost, leaving the town to cover the remaining 9.51%. The money will be used to construct a 2,600‑foot‑long, six‑foot‑wide, Americans with Disabilities Act‑compliant concrete walking path between Saratoga Middle High School and the intersection of West Elm Avenue and South 3rd Street. Additionally, 1,500 square yards of asphalt will be used to improve the bus drop‑off lane at Saratoga Elementary School.

According to documents provided by the town, the walkway is intended to improve safety for bicyclists, pedestrians, children, the elderly, and people with disabilities, while also increasing access to the downtown shopping district.

Speaking at the November 4th meeting, Public Works Director Penner said he and the Planning Commission are prepared to begin soliciting an engineering firm for the project.

The Saratoga Town Council voted to authorize Mayor Chuck Davis to sign the WYDOT TAPS grant agreement.

Confusion over appointments to the Rawlins–Carbon County Airport Board prompted action by both city and county officials.

The Rawlins-Carbon County Airport Board is a joint powers board made up of representatives from both the City of Rawlins and Carbon County. The Board is responsible for overseeing Harvey Field, also known as the Rawlins Municipal Airport.

According to the Board’s 1977 bylaws, member appointments alternate between the Rawlins City Council and the Board of Carbon County Commissioners. The county selected the first full‑term member during the January 1977 meeting, and the city appointed a member the following year, establishing an arrangement that continues to this day. The bylaws state that vacancies in unexpired terms shall be filled jointly by appointment of the governing bodies of the city and the county.

The alternating appointments apparently have led to confusion over whose seat an appointee is filling.

At the November 4th Commissioners meeting, County Attorney Ashley Davis announced that the Rawlins–Carbon County Airport Board was requesting a resolution to correct the expiration date for the service period of Zachary Hartshorn. Attorney Davis said the Board incorrectly appointed Hartshorn to the wrong term.

Commissioner Sue Jones said the Rawlins–Carbon County Airport Board bylaws have caused confusion since their adoption in March of 1977. Commissioner Jones asked Attorney Davis if the bylaws could be amended to eliminate the alternating appointments and instead provide for a set number of members from Rawlins and from Carbon County.

Commissioner Jones continued, saying the alternating appointments have left both the Board of Commissioners and the Rawlins City Council uncertain whether an appointee is serving a municipal or county term.

Commissioner Jones acknowledged that altering the process for board appointments would require amending the bylaws. However, because the Airport Board is a joint powers board, all changes must be approved not only by the board itself, but also by the Rawlins City Council and the Board of County Commissioners.

Alternatively, Commissioner Jones and Vice Chairwoman Gwynn Bartlett suggested having two members each from Rawlins and Carbon County, along with one joint member appointed by both entities, similar to how the Platte Valley Community Center Joint Powers Board operates. In the meantime, both county officials agreed they must first correct the term for Hartshorn.

In response to Commissioner Jones’s question, County Attorney Ashley Davis said the Airport Board’s bylaws can be changed, adding that if the document specifies how board members must be appointed, the process could be quite involved.

Attorney Davis offered to investigate the possibility of amending the Airport Board’s bylaws. Following the discussion, the Board of Carbon County Commissioners voted to sign the resolution correcting the term of Hartshorn.

The Rawlins City Council addressed a similar issue during its November 4th meeting. The governing body considered a resolution to ratify the appointment of Megan McComas to the Rawlins–Carbon County Airport Board. City Attorney Pinita Maberry‑Nave explained that McComas had originally been appointed to fill a county vacancy, but the seat was in fact the city’s to fill.

The Rawlins City Council voted to ratify the appointment of Megan McComas to a full five‑year term on the Rawlins–Carbon County Airport Board, beginning February 1st, 2024, and expiring January 31st, 2029.

Hanna residents are now permitted to kill certain pests using air‑ or spring‑powered rifles.

The prairie dog population has been an ongoing issue for the Town of Hanna. Conditions worsened last summer, particularly at the town’s cemetery, where the burrowing rodents damaged graves and disturbed burial sites.

To address the issue, the governing body authorized specially trained town employees, including deputies from the Marshal’s Department, to use air rifles against prairie dogs and other rodent pests. The measure strictly prohibited residents from participating. Despite the town’s efforts, the prairie dogs continued to multiply.

In response to the lack of progress, the Hanna Town Council introduced Ordinance 413, permitting residents to dispatch rodents on their property with air‑ or spring‑powered rifles.

The measure was passed into law during the November 12th Hanna Town Council meeting. Clerk Vivian Gonzales read Ordinance 413, an ordinance of the Town of Hanna, permitting residents to use spring or air weapons to kill certain, specified types of wild animals on their property.

Lagomorpha are rabbits and hares. Rodentia is the scientific order of mammals that includes all rodents. The ordinance also authorizes residents to kill reptiles.

Continuing to read from Ordinance 413, Clerk Gonzales stated that residents may shoot animals only on their own property, unless authorized by another landowner.

Ordinance 413 states that residents must avoid injuring people or damaging property while shooting at an approved pest. In addition, they may not knowingly kill someone’s pet.

Violations of the ordinance are considered misdemeanors under Hanna regulations.

The Hanna Town Council unanimously passed Ordinance 413 on its third and final reading. While residents are now authorized to shoot rodents and hares, Mayor Charlie George clarified that killing badgers is still prohibited.

Discharging a traditional firearm within Hanna’s town limits remains a crime, except when done in the lawful defense of a person, property, or family.

The Wyoming weather has delayed installation of an air monitoring station in Rawlins.

At the August 5th Rawlins City Council meeting, City Attorney Pinita Maberry‑Nave announced that Air Resource Specialists of Fort Collins, Colorado, was seeking authorization to install a temporary air‑quality monitoring station in the city. Attorney Maberry-Nave said the contractor proposed placing the facility in an unused section of property behind the Rawlins Family Recreation Center.

The city attorney said the station resembles a standard pull-behind trailer equipped with weather monitoring instruments and a large roof-mounted antenna. Air quality data is sent directly to the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality.

In exchange for hosting the station, Air Resource Specialists will pay the City of Rawlins $150 a month and cover the cost of electricity.

The governing body approved the proposal and, on August 19th, signed a contract with Air Resource Specialists to install the temporary air‑monitoring station at the Rawlins Family Recreation Center. The agreement runs for 18 months but may be terminated or extended at the city’s discretion.

Speaking at the November 4th Rawlins City Council meeting, City Attorney Maberry‑Nave explained that strong winds had delayed installation of the mobile air‑monitoring system. Once the facility is in place, the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality will hold a public information meeting to explain the station’s purpose.

As of Thursday afternoon, last week, the mobile air‑monitoring station had not yet been installed.

A local nonprofit dog rescue has raised funds to build a new animal shelter for the Saratoga Police Department.

During the August 19th Saratoga Town Council meeting, Police Chief John Moore announced plans to build a new kennel near the town’s dog park at West Walnut Avenue and South 5th Street. Chief Moore said the existing kennel is old and requires extensive repairs. The new facility will feature eight separate cages with a center work area. The police chief said Must Love Dogs Sanctuary, a local nonprofit animal rescue, will help raise funds for the project.

On Thursday, Must Love Dogs Sanctuary founder, Theresa Manley announced on social media that the nonprofit had raised over $22,000, over half of the estimated $40,000 construction cost.

Manley explained that Must Love Dogs Sanctuary was founded three years ago, after the Saratoga Police Department picked up a dog she had hoped to adopt. The animal did not get along with her own dogs, so she helped place it with another owner. Although Manley offered to cover the cost of spaying, the new owner declined, and the dog was later brough back to the police department expecting puppies.

After that incident, Manley established her nonprofit animal rescue.

Around the same time, Manley began talking with then‑Saratoga Police Chief Mike Morris about replacing the town’s dilapidated stray dog kennel. Rather than construct another basic structure, Manley proposed building a facility to rival the Rochelle Animal Shelter in Rawlins.

Manley said then‑Chief Mike Morris and current Chief John Moore agreed the town needed a larger, better‑equipped shelter and asked her to help raise half of the $40,000 construction cost.

After three years, Manley secured her share of the funding, with a significant portion coming from Old Baldy Club members, who contributed $7,000 during August’s Embrace the Valley fundraiser at Brush Creek Ranch.

The Bruce and Beth White Family Foundation agreed to match those funds dollar for dollar. Bank of Commerce, Union Wireless, and Karen Youngberg also contributed. Manley said every donation, no matter how small, helped push the project past its goal.

While the design has not been finalized, the new shelter will be twice as large as the existing kennel, with a fenced area and utility hookups. Manley said its location at the Saratoga dog park will give volunteers space to exercise the animals.

Town employees are expected to begin construction this season, but the concrete foundation must be poured by an outside contractor. Because of the weather, that work is unlikely to take place until next spring. Once the facility is complete, the Saratoga Police Department will oversee daily operations, while Must Love Dogs Sanctuary recruits volunteers. Manley requested continued financial support from the community.

Checks can be mailed to Must Love Dogs Sanctuary at PO Box 517 in Saratoga or deposited into the rescue’s account at the Saratoga branch of Rawlins National Bank. We will also include a link to the Must Love Dogs Sanctuary PayPal account in this story when it is posted to the Bigfoot99 website later today.

Manley said the community’s generosity is truly inspiring, and thanks to that support, the dream of building a new animal shelter in Saratoga is becoming a reality.

The Cowboys struggled all night on Saturday against Fresno State with Wyoming losing on the west coast 24-3.

With the loss, Wyoming falls to 4-6, 2-4 in the Mountain West. The Cowboys put their only points on the board with an Erik Sandvik field goal at the 5:21 mark of the first quarter.

Keith Kelley made the call as the Cowboys put up their only points of the night. The Bulldogs had already scored a touchdown on the rain-soaked field at Valley Children’s Stadium while the Cowboys struggled the rest of the way.

Fresno State extended its lead with a 40-yard field goal with less than 30-seconds to go in the half. The Bulldogs would score twice in the fourth quarter for the convincing 24-3 win.

The Bulldogs dominated Wyoming and the time of possession. Fresno State controlled the ball for 45:03 compared to Wyoming’s 14:57.

The stats tell the story. The Cowboys were dominated in every area by a Bulldogs team that was not impressive. Wyoming put up 107 net yards of rushing, the Bulldogs 216. Through the air, Fresno threw for 95 yards—not a lot. But Wyoming had just 77 yards passing.

Wyoming Head Coach Jay Sawvel accepted the blame for what he described as a game where the Cowboys defeated themselves.

The Cowboys still have a chance to get bowl-eligible for postseason play on Senior Day this Saturday. Former quarterback Josh Allen will be there. Two more games remain on the schedule. The University of Nevada comes to Laramie on Saturday. The Rebels are 2-8 overall, 1-5 in conference play.

The Cowboys will wrap up the season at Hawaii at the end of the month. The Warriors, who had a bye last week, are 7-3 overall and 4-2 in conference play.

Kickoff against the Rebels this week in Laramie is set for high noon. The Rebels destroyed San Jose State Saturday 55-10.

In other Mountain West games….

Colorado State lost to New Mexico 20-17. Rams have now lost four games in a row and sit at 1-5 in conference play.

Air Force lost at University of Connecticut 16-26.

UNLV defeated Utah State 29-26 in double overtime. Here was the final call on CBS.

Carter Jones threw for 195 yards and two touchdowns.
