On Wheatland, Wheatlanders and Wheaterville
As a long time reader and sometimes commenter on Wheaterville, who lives just far enough away from Wheatland, but who deals with a lot of Wheatlanders, I gotta say that they're each is pretty fine when it comes to towns, folks, and glorified blogs. Of course you get the gripers and complainers and whiners. They are the most vocal demographic out there unfortunately and darn it all, now some of them actually have access to the Internets too. In between the rants and complaints and "from what dark place did they pull that crack(tea)pot idea" type of raves here on the blog, there are plenty of good people saying great things. Typical of Anywhere, USA, their posts don't garner quite as many comments from the commenters. But do notice Readers, the pretty flowers growing in the BS. That's just the way of the world. Make sure you look for those flowers. (There are also a lot of flowers in yards and the sides of the road. Yes, people notice! Thank you for those, Wheatland Green Thumbs!)

We have a wonderful police department, and we hope they know that most of us know that! Wheatland has had plenty of challenges this year, but the Wheatlanders have risen to those challenges. Neighbors have helped Neighbors, and they've helped some Strangers too. THAT is What (insert your favorite Higher Power here) Would Do. It's really not very hard to help someone you know and like, but when was the last time you "said a prayer for a stranger"? Just askin'...  

In the midst of all this year's challenges, Wheatland organizations, churches and businesses have continued to work hard and make great strides. Check out what the Platte Chamber, and PCED, and the individual businesses in town are doing. You'll be delighted!

Finally, a warm Wheaterville welcome to any newcomers to the site. Look for the flowers, step carefully through the BS, and if you have something to say, say it. If all you have are Nice Things to say, that's really quite alright too!

compassion reigns: 
Love and pray for people, instead of judging them.  God cares more about feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, caring for the widow(er), honoring the elderly, visiting the sick and those in prison, AND TAKING THE PLANK OUT OF YOUR OWN EYE before trying to pick the sliver out of your neighbor's...than (s)he cares about who someone is sleeping with!!! Wake UP, there are bigger problems than "little girls spreading their legs" you sicko.

in the name of Jesus: 
The community of Wheatland has strayed away from the Holy teachings of our Lamb Jesus who's blood we must drink to evade the fire in HELL.

Sodomy is rampant and alive in Wheatland in addition to all the teen pregnancies! 

Little girls, close your legs and find Jesus instead of continuing in your ways which are unclean before the Lord.  Men, your wives are subservient to you as you are to the Father, as stated in Corinthians.  Please read your Bibles and pray for Wheatland as the Lord has already avenged his wrath in 2011.

commissioner board meeting jan 17: 
This one could be very interesting. Better then TV even maybe. Not as good as watching You Tube videos of course, because there is so much variety there, but for sure as good as cable. I wonder if they'll talk about the motocross again. Looks like motocross gone but trap shooting in, which makes sense. come early for the best seats in the house, the hall isn't so good acousticly.

nicoretter: 
Wheatland is a great town, and Platte a wonderful county and Wyoming a pretty good state. It would be nice to get a few more insurance companies in here so that Blue Cross Blue Shield doesn't have the monopoly. They get you where it hurts, the pocketbook. Other then that you have to love the peace and quiet. If you don't, just go find a bar or hit the Olive Garden in Cheyenne on a Friday night and you can feel like you are in a big city. I'd like a sandwich delivery place in Wheatland, and a place to sit down and get a really good cup of coffee. Can anyone arrange that?

I for one, was born in Wheaterville, I left town when I went to college and then came back.  It has been a wonderful community to serve in.  It gave me a warm place to raise my family, build a practice and, help build the community.  I love the people and have a hard time giving back to the town and community, in service, all that this little berg has given and provided for us.  May you all have a good new year and a peaceful and profitable year.  I love it here.

The whiners and gripers have just as much right to speak their mind, whether they agree with you or not, as you do.

Have you ever left the town of Wheatland?  Glendo and Chugwater don't count.  There is a real world out there.  I cannot believe how backwards that town is.  If you like it fine, but don't silence those who have reasonable beefs with it.  It, among other places, is no Mayberry.

to Jarvis: 
are you talking about wheatland WYOMING?

the only thing you said that's true is the wind. .  "the suburb" is actually 70 miles to the south not 55.  and the young people.. have you ever been to the halls of any school here.  the youth has a rotten mentality that they inherit from their parents.  you have the ones that are deadbeats before they leave high school and the preppy which ones that think the world owes them everything

but if living in denial that wheatland is a great place floats your boat go for it.  the rational knowledgable community continues to flee so you can coexist in your most likely psychosis induced bliss in wheaterville

Wyomingite: 
Wheatland is an embarrassment to the state of Wyoming.  with the exceptions of some of the westward roughneck towns on I-80 past Rawlins, and Torrington which is just an offshoot of Nebraska Wheatland has the rudest people and nothing to be proud of except several shootings in the same year an out of control meth problem family violence a corrupt government a good ol' boy police department that doesn't know what the heck they're doing a hospital that has compromised many lives because of an inept staff and dumbfounded ER doctors and a school district with inadequate teachers that are overpaid baby sitters, not to mention a school board who teaches kids to follow outdated Christian principles and hate everyone who is not white and Christian--oh wait, that's the whole town.

taxpayer: 
I am a taxpayer. I am not "fed up taxpayer" who posts here. Rather, I'm a taxpayer who appreciates the government. Go figure. Not the thing to say in the day of the tea baggers but oh well. I appreciate our firefighters, paid and volunteer. I appreciate our local and federal officials as well. As a state, besides having a decent, practial governor, Wyoming is lacking, but that's been the Wyoming Way for a long, long time and likely isn't going to change. (Pass down some of that awful government run health care senators and congresswoman. I'd be happy to have what you have!)

"Fed Up Taxpayer" pretends to know a lot about pricing fire fighting and rescue vehicles, as well as insurance prices across the state of Wyoming. Yet he or she obviously isn't part of the solution, or working with the local fire and rescue teams to keep us safe. Wonder why that is?

What do the following have in common:  Health insurance, home owner's insurance, car insurance, fire equipment, rescue equipment and a good spare tire.

They're all things you don't want to have to use, but you damn well better have them when you need them. A wise man recently said "If you want civilization, you're going to have to pay for it." Amen.

fed up taxpayer: 
So why is it that the town of Chugwater can buy a brand new rescue truck for approximately 145,000 dollars and the town of Glendo has to spend 340,000 on theirs.  Go take a look at Chugwater's new truck, it is a top of the line truck that is more than sufficient for a town of a population of 200.  Why did Glendo have to spend an extra 200,000 dollars of the taxpayers money??  I just love Mike's comment how it doesn't matter if it's a $100K truck or a $340K truck.   What a ridiculous statement to make.  Well it matters to the taxpayers Mike!!!!!  It's typical Government spending at it's worst.  And i'll guarantee you that Chugwater's homeowner's insurance is no more expensive than Glendo's.  Here is a Fire Dept. that has spent approx. 400,000 dollars in the last two years and did not pump a drop of water this year on a fire.  Fire departments are important and Glendo  has a good crew but fiscal responsibility of the taxpayer's money is also important and in today's economy we are all getting sick and tired of watching our hard working taxpayer money being spent so irresponsibly.

c/t: 
The State of Wyoming salary guidelines for council set the salary per meeting at no less then $10.00 per meeting and no more then $150.00 per meeting. The salary of the mayor shall be no more then $24,000.00 per year. And yes, mayor and council are on call 24/7 if an emergency arises. I have had the pleasure of working under two mayors and respect both for the duties they performed. I respect our volunteers also, but by definition they are volunteers. Our town is small and works under a tight budget. Priorities change from year to year. We can not afford to "pay" our volunteers.

sad: 
It is sad to see so much hate and discontent in a town of 200 people.  Instead of everyone being so negative and hateful maybe you should use wheaterville for positive suggestions and solutions.  Open a positive discussion - you know coucil members probably read this site, maybe you all could make positive suggestions and encourage the council to implement those changes.  I am sure it this size of town you all know how to get hold od them on a one to one basis.  You say elections are coming for some council members - make changes.  
Wasn't the new fire truck approved by the previous council?  It really does not matter you have it and it must help with all of your insurances.

C/T: 
Wages were increased from $25 per meeting to $50 per meeting. Sounds like a big increase when you state wages were doubled, not so large of increase when you see the actual $ amount.
Our local gov is not corrupt as you state. Mayor and council members recieve a minimal amount of compensation for the work they do. And remember, we the people voted these people in, or should I say we the people of "Glendo".
As you may have concluded, I am the town clerk and my books and reports are available for public inspection at any time. We have nothing to hide.

again Nothing was done about the dog being shot in town by the drunken bar patron or the people feeding the cats in the abandoned building near the postoffice. nothing was even done about the selective enforcement of the town codes. they just picked on the good people in town. This is getting old.

Jarvis: 
I see in the blogs, that it is easy to complain.  I for one, was raised in this neat town.  It has made a good living for me and my family.  Our school system is top drawer, and our hospital facilities are underrated.  It is a great place to raise kids, a good place for families to grow, and a neat place to grow old in.  We have wind to discourage the non-serious-minded. 

Our closest suburb is 55 minutes south with all of the malls, shopping, entertainment, and all city life you can want.  But, we, here in Wheatland, have most of that, just on a smaller scale.

The kids here are, by-in-all, cleancut, dedicated, well educated and sincere.  I get to see many of them up close and first-hand, and I'm impressed with the quality of our young people.  So Wheaterville fans, it's what you make out of life for yourself, that will make it good for you.

Why would Wheatland have an ordinance against dogs running loose, and none for cats. Cats are a huge problem in this town and the only way to solve the problem is to start holding people accountable.

Platte County Wind, Renewable Energy and Coal Jobs
There's lots of great opportunities coming to Wheatland and the rest of Platte County. The wind industry is booming, er, blowing, and now is the time to get yourself ready for the great job opportunities to come. The county offices are full of people from out-of-state doing title searches, trying to pick up land for renewable energy locations. You knew we had wind, wind and more wind. But did you know you can cash in on it? Sure, it's Hard To Go Green but once you've gone green, you start bringing in the green and that feels just fine! The current push is for home and residential wind turbines and solar installments. With State and Federal tax incentives, now is the time to cash in on that wind you used to curse. If you're looking for a new skill, check out the renewable energy job opportunities. If you're just your basic tree hugging liberal PETA person, take a look at the food suggetions. You can even find green, eco-friendly dining in your area.

Platte County will soon be awash in wind turbines. Might as well fly with it!

  There is no way employees of the Senior Center will step up and truely tell what is going on.  They are ruled by a dictator board chairman and fear retaliation.  The officers of the board are mere figureheads with no actual power.  The board secretary doesn't even type the minutes.  They are handed off to someone else and who knows what is deleted or altered.

Your ranting and satanic filth has angered the LORD, you all claim to be Christians but do you read your bibles word for word? No!  You only pick and chose the verses that sound good and use them to trick people into following your sugar coated distorted religion!

Wash in the blood of the holy Lamb and follow the words of Christ, regarding moral and sexual sins.  Women must have their period in private and not speak in church.  You must live a clean and biblical life and spread the word about the Son, stop this evil blapshemy,  or God will bring you down just like he did with the great flood!  His righteous judgement is occurring with every death of every day, and you will be cast into hell for screaming and rotting among the SNAKES for eternity!

Wheatland calls itsels a Christian town--not hardly.  there are far too many moral sins here.  I will do everything I can to spread the holy words for I am a God Warrior.  Women are especially a problem in this town--whoring themselves out like the Godless tramps of exodus.  Eve ate the apple and brought sin to ALL women.  READ YOUR BIBLES.

CHIEF: 

     You are asking about Glendo Fire Dept fund raising. We do have functions to raise funds. In fact we had a barbecue a couple of weeks ago. For the past two years we have had a Gun Raffle and Barbecue with Sept 11th being the date for the drawing. The drawing and barbecue are held at the Wiskey Gulch Saloon in Glendo. The Barbecue is provided by Ms. Kim Bell owner of the Wiskey Gulch Saloon.
      You must understand that comparing Glendo with Wheatland is not correct. The population of Glendo is much less with some residents only residing here during the summer months. 
       The Glendo Fire Dept in made up of a small group of dedicated family men. I have worked with fire departments in other parts of the country and I must say that the men of the Glendo Fire Dept are the best I've ever worked with. They have been training to update their skills to become more professional, and provide a better service. 
In the not to distant future I will pass the command to one of the younger members knowing that they are well trained and ready to take over the position as Chief. 
      It is difficult to keep the younger members interested because of our low call volume so the members that we have may be small in numbers, but what a great group of dedicated, community minded Gentlemen!

Keep it up fire guys just dont expect anything else next time you want it. Do you go around beating on doors asking for donations? how about standing at at cross walk like they do in Wheatland waiting for a handout. That is sure "Knowing how to get things done". How many times did you say you run to Douglas or Casper? You never thought about that did you? I will probably have to move pretty quick. My sewer is backing up I think it is plugged at the fire house! Gotta run! See if I cant get ahold of a plumber. Have a nice day.

     AS FAR AS SHOPPING OUT OF TOWN THERE IS NOTHING FROM STOPPING YOU FROM GOING OUT OF TOWN OR COUNTY TO SHOP.
     ALL YOU WANT TO DO IS RAG ON GOOD PEOPLE. THERE IS NOTHING KEEPING YOU HERE. YOU ARE FREE TO MOVE AND FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE AREA THAT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA. 
     WHY NOT CALL THE FIRE DEPT,I BET THEY WOULD EVEN HELP YOU PACK.
     YOU SOUND LIKE A VERY UNHAPPY PERSON.

To Midget: 
I paid an extra 1%. Now if you used your head a little and figured up what that might be on a years worth of supplies from here and there you would see that it adds up. Since you live in Glendo, How many times do you run to Douglas and Casper to buy supplies? That is what I thought! Most of the time. So then the 1% does not bother you. Even if you do pay more in taxes out of town that money goes to that county. It is easy spending money when you do not contribute.

The Shadow's Little Shadow: 

  Dear Stinking DEAD BEAT!
  You probably did not pay any more in taxes. If you did it was only 1% and that will help not only people from Platte County but Visitors. It could help even YOU! 
   Come to the next Town Council meeting and voice your displeasure out loud instead of hiding behind your computer.
    The Shadow's Little Shadow WILL be there.

    Will You?  I doubt it!

     Why are there Rural engines in the Glendo Emergency Services Building? Because in the past during the winter months we have had wildland fires and structure fires when the all wheel drive units were needed.
     Many of the city firefighters cross trained and are red card certified.
     Glendo Fire Dept may be small in numbers but we try to be PROGRESSIVE. The firefighters in Glendo are a great group of men and a pleasure to work with.
     Glendo does understand how lucky they are to have such a dedicated group of men.

A General Bravo Wheatervillians: 
Nice to see some cogent discussions going on in the streets of Wheaterville. (Along with, of course, the grumblers who will indeed always be with us.) Good questions and even better answers all around. Where did the Home School / Home Tool fricas begin? Does anyone know the percentage of home schooled kids around here that go on to college, and graduate from college? There are always the "one that I know" stories out there, from someone who "knows someone" who gets "straight A's" in higher education, but they sound more like tall tales than anything else. I've never met one, have you? It is very nice to get some facts and figures from people who are in the know out there.

Road Construction thru Sybille Canyon
Road construction through Sybille Canyon, on Highway 34, will start in April. The signs are already up, and much of the 10 mile stretch is already staked. You can get a pretty good idea of where the curves and juts won't be if you cruise Hwy. 34 on one of these nice spring days.

WYDOT will be using www.sybillecanyon.com as a place to announce road closures for blasting. They'll also use the website to let folks know about anticipated travel delays. (There'll always be those UNanticipated delays, but WYDOT is going to do their best to let you know about the ones they know about, before they happen, so you can plan your trips through Sybille Canyon accordingly.

This is about the last stretch of road to be tweaked. It's between Mile Marker 22 and just past Hwy 12 on the Wheatland side. Construction is likely to start early and go late, with not a lot of days off...just fyi.

Drive safe!

Cindy's Death Panals
You can't make this stuff upl

Cynthia Lummis, Wyoming's gal in Congress, claims that she knows of 88 year old Wyoming folks who are opting out of dialysis so that the kids can get the ranch.

Cindy, you have reached a new low, even for you.

If indeed you DO know of such folks, you better oughta speak up, cuz assisted sucicide ain't the Wyoming Way. And, it's illegal. So do tell. Who are these people?

Think about it Cindy. We have people reading this.  Are you saying that parents who DON'T die in 2010 are bad moms and dads? How long have you lived in Wyoming? We don't do it like this, plain and simple.

We're waiting for you to explain what  the heck you're saying. Don't do assisted suicides. Don't enable this, it's just NOT okay.

This is not in part a response to the article, But I would like to bring to attention top recipients of farm subsidies here in wyoming. Go to U.

These clowns are not farmers they are leeches.

Wyoming Rancher: 
I think you guys are missing CL's point.  I'm sure she did hear this story from someone, and it may or may not be true, but I will assure there are ranchers here in WY that feel this way.  My ranch has been in the family for 5 generations, and each generation has had to deal with their own problems, but the ranch has continued to grow and prosper.  It is now at 40,000 acres and besides an annual 750k operating loan it is finally paid for.  However it appraises at 15 million and with the tax imposed my son would have to pay over 7.8 million just to keep it in the family.  The ranch would not be profitable with that type of overhead.  So there you see it this is a major problem that needs to be addressed.  My families already paid for it more than ounce and to outright steal it is wrong.

Let's see, why would all the kids in Wyoming want to get out of there as fast and permanently as possible? Could it be bc the state is run by corrupt and lying or just dumb people who say crap like this? I've never visited Wyoming even and I guess that's something I don't regret. With crap like this from the people you elect to run you its amazing anyone lives or vacations there at all. Might as well fill the place with oil derricks and windmills. Oh that's right that's what you people are doing. You could always name them after your kids who move away.

Come on people. Cynthia Lummis said a stupid and hurtful thing. This has nothing to do with religion or right to die issues or anything else. Don't make it look like the entire state of Wyoming is made up of stupid people who think like Lummis. You can vote for her, like her, whatever else you want to do in the privacy of your own home, but do the rest of us in the state a favor and don't defend this, the only stupid thing she's ever in her whole life said. If she knew of these dozens of elderly sick ranchers she would name one of them, but that's an entirely different issue.

Thanks Kitkat. Michelle, I imagine Fred was using the familiar "barry" with a lower case to refer to our President, President Barack Obama. The teabaggers delight in calling him "barry" in quotes. They get off on it. Do you understand? Thanks Kitkat for finding that video and putting it up there. I think there's also a classic Lummis clip of her on the Stephen Colbert show. Those liberal media folks just don't miss a chance to poke fun do they?

Michelle: 
Baily, look again. Fred said "Barry."

I am in support of people keeping their freedom to choose for themselves whether or not to accept extreme mechanical or medicinal means of staying alive long past what is natural, and not be criticised for it! Some would value passing an inheritance to their children's children over prolonging their own suffering.

I have not seen the YouTube video to which you refer. I am only commenting on what I read here.
Wednesday

baily: 
Fred if you were referring to me, no, you did not "read me right".
Michelle, you're a moron.

Lummis said, and I guess I'll go look for the YouTube on this, that she knew of 88 yr olds on dialysis (yes, plural) who were choosing to go off the dialysis so they could die before the new year. I'm sure that has at least a few of her 88 yr old constituents feeling like crap for not loving their kids enough to unplug the mechanical kidneys and suffer away to death for them.

The fact that ANYONE is supporting her on this has my jaw hanging open.

88 yr old ranch owners on dialysis out there--keep on kicking. Your kids'll be fine having to get a job.

Michelle: 
Perhaps someone is jumping to unlikely conclusions about CL and the old folks to whom she refers.
  Why are some people criticized for opting out of some medical treatment?  A hundred years ago, when these choices weren't available, life and death were more respected. Now, whatever happened to the freedom to choose or refuse treatments? Barry, this has nothing to do with assisted suicide. You misunderstand terribly and like to hear yourself spout off your opinions. And Baily, a thinking person will not form an opinion of CL by this little piece.

fred waterman: 
  if I'm reading "barry" right, He's upset that someone "might" be willing to die to protect what they have worked all their life.  To have something you have worked for taxed out from under you is criminal.
Saturday

questions: 
Not that Lummas will ever read this but...
are there 88 "year old" folks or is it one 88 year old person? and if that is the case, is CL fully aware of why that person is stopping Diallasis?  Perhaps they have lived a long life and want to go home to God and be out of pain!  Looks to me like ASS UMING is at it here.

Write In Votes in Wheatland
Who You Gonna Write For
The status quo incumbants look like they could be taking a beating in Wheaterville this voting season. Commissioner Dan Kirkbride was the first to fall to newcomer Steve Schokley 

Platte County Attorney candidate Ken Johnston gave ABA (Anyone But Alden) incumbant Eric Jones a real run for his money in the August primary, and has decided to stay in the race and hope for a write-in win against Jones.

Jones was appointed by the Platte County Commissioners after the ABA contingent elected Mary Eikenberry but then decided to fire her. (Until she resigned, then promptly rescinded her resignation, whereupon she was, indeed, fired by then-Commissioners Kirkbride, Reichardt and Milikin.) Eric Jones was eventually elected Platte County Attorney after his initial appointment, and also continues to run his local private law practice.

Attorney Johnston came surprisingly close to unseating Jones in August, losing by fewer than 200 votes. He's knocking on doors and hoping that 200 additional people will write in his name, and fill in that little oval next to it, on November 2. 

Incumbant Wheatland mayor Dean Hensel ran unopposed in the primary, but has some unexpected competition in the general. 

In August, Jean "Skrinny" Dixon let it be known around town that since she wasn't going for another go-around as County Clerk, she'd be open to taking a shot at Mayor if enough folks wrote her in on their primary ballots. She only needed three, and received more than enough to convince her to unofficially officially run for the roses. 

Meanwhile, in the State Governor's race, Tea Party favorite and Cheyenne Doc Taylor Haines didn't make it onto the ballot, but he's out there campaigning, talking about the issues, and hoping that Wyoming voters will decide that Matt Mead's Millions shouldn't buy him the Governor's mansion.

Hard to say how Platte County will vote. Their candidate last time around was Duncan Hunter. 'Nuff said.  
Wednesday
11/3/10 2:29 PM
Really??: 
Well we got a change on the school board (thank goodness) but why do the people of Platte County insist on paying a part-time county attorney full-time wages? We had our chance. Now we have to live with it. But I hope we can hold his feet to the fire this time around and maybe we got someone on the county commission that will do that. My question is: why can Eric Jones have a private practice? Is that normal for other county attorneys in Wyoming to maintain a private practice?

Peanutz: 
It is sad that Eric Jones has nothing good or positive to say about himself, and instead only negative things to say about Ken Johnston. His latest ad about the carpetbaggers was possibly worse then his first but at least this time he remembered to take "credit" for his paid ad. The first one was so negative he decided to not put his name to it until everyone pointed out that it was illegal not to. Funny to have to do that for a lawyer. Ken Johnston will have alot of write in votes.

WTF?: 
Ok you moron,it's not Joe Johnson that is running for county attorney,it's Ken Johnston.Get your facts straight you idiot! You should know who is running before you start the mud slinging you jackass!And how dare you say such awful things about a person you obviously don't know ANYTHING about,Joe is one of the sweetest men I have ever met,he would'nt even hurt a fly.Ken has been here for ten years as a rancher ,and he has 35+ years of law experience,he is also a Christain.The way Eric dose bussines I believe the oppisite is true,he hires other lawers to do his work. For example- Eric Palen from Douglas,and 2 others from Cheyenne and Torrington because he has   "other interests". So there's the facts dumbass! As for me Ken Jonston has my vote!

Vote for Ken Johnston.  He isn't putting any one down and calling names.  He walked the streets of Chugwater,
Glendo, Wheatland, Guernsey and introduced himself to everyone and heard their concerns.  He isn't running a
negative campaign.  Keep up the good work, Ken.
Saturday
10/23/10 5:42 PM
watching: 
To Kit, no, the county board hired the asst attorney only after alot of pushing and Eric sold himself as not going to need that. But he does keep a private practice and he does have conflict of interest alot from what it looks like and hires Palen from Douglas to replace him or rather the county hires him. Also Eric is town of chug and town of glendo attorney which is more conflict of interest and also takes time away from main job of county attorney or what should be main job. Kit you need to look into the facts actually. We need I think a fresh start with the county attorney here, one that doesn't remind anybody of why Eric was able to talk the board into giving him the position. Thank you.
Saturday
10/23/10 5:36 PM
Eric v Eikenberry?: 
Who knew? Read Eric Jone's ad in the paper and you'd think that he was running against Mary Eikenberry. That's not true is it? Ask yourself why Eric Jones would use that silly tactic to scare people into voting for him. Does he fancy that he is Eric ALDEN and people might realize that they let a good one go? Most people know the difference between a Jones and an Alden.
One more thing. Look at the budget allocation for county attorney when Eric Alden was in charge compared to Eric Jone's last few years. Jones started at $65K as a parttime county attorney. Parttime. His salary has gone up each time the rest of the county employees' salaries have gone up. If it were Eikenberry or Jones, I'd vote for Jones, but contrary to what Eric Jones ad would have you believe, Eikenberry is not running.  
Saturday
10/23/10 5:28 PM
Kit: 
I find it interesting that y'all make an assumption that Mr. Jones doesn't work full time. Have any of you checked into that? Or are you just assuming that because he does have a private office that it means he's not working but half time at both? If you think he's not working hard enough for our County how about checking the records. How about finding out how many cases are going through the office and how many are prosecuted?

How about each of you check your facts before you rant and rave like morons.

The hiring of a Deputy County Attorney was done long before Mr. Jones was in office. It has nothing to do with him. How about checking that out? Our County needs representation at all times....should our County Attorney never go away on holiday? Considering Mr. Johnston has no law expierence....do you think he won't be using the Deputy County Attorney? You think that if he should be voted into office that the County can then let go of the Deputy County Attorney?

Think for one moment about what having a county attorney without criminal law expierence would mean. What outcome would come from that? How would that impact your life? If you were to be assulted on the street by a person...that person is caught and on trial. You have an attorney walk in the room who has no expierence in criminal law try and convict this person...do you feel safe? I sure wouldn't. I would want someone in the prosecutors chair who knows how it works.

But then again, no one would have anything to piss and moan about if they didn't have crap flowing out of their mouths. How about finding out some facts!

vote for ken: 
Ken Johnston for County Attorney.

Eric's negative campaign ad should not be rewarded with your vote. It was disgusting, and yes I agree fear mongering and we don't need that.

Ken Johnston has told us why we should vote for him, not why we shouldn't vote for the other guy. Eric wants to be voted in as the candidate that was better then Mary Eikenberry. Wow.

Yes and someone figure out why an attorney didn't follow campaign law and also didn't want to be accountable for the ad he put in the local paper.

Thursday
10/21/10 10:04 AM
to Who Did and Stunned: 
Two possibilites. Either Erik Jones didn't KNOW that he has to include "paid for by" information on the bottom of his "ad" or he decided that rule didn't apply to him. Either way, it doesn't say much for his as an attorney or as a candidate. It's likely that the powers that be in these elections will look into it. It's a campaign law that the "paid for by" be included in all ads. All that said, it was a pathetic excuse for an "elect me". He used the classic fear mongering tactics of "if you don't pick me it will be as bad as before" using the Eikenberry fiasco as a threat to voters. I hope everyone reads that "ad" a couple of times before they vote because if that's who Erik Jones is, then he sure doesn't deserve the position. This ad is sending me to look up the alternatives and I guess that's a good thing. If Ken Johnston is a viable option, he has my write in vote, based on that ad and the talk around town. The most interesting thing would be to find out who placed that ad. The Record Times people certainly know, and their ad people and graphic people should certainly know better then to put that ad in there without the Paid For By disclaimer. Anybody know who those people are? Ask them. Where's Starbuck? 
Wednesday
10/20/10 5:15 PM
Who did: 
I did see the add in the Merchant that included Eric Jones I don't think he put in the paper. If you noticed on all of the other campaign adds it had who paid for them. The add that you are referring to is blank, not sure if this is legal.
Wednesday

10/19/10 6:06 PM
stunned: 
OMG!!!!  Eric Jones...don't you have anything positive to say about yourself...check his ad in the paper this week...your negativity is one reson I won't vote for you!  Rule of Thumper:  If you can't say something nice, don't say nuthin at all.  Way to go, Ken Johnston, for not falling to Eric's low level!

Wheatland School Board Meeting Tonight
Ah, the Ides of March. Dig into your high school freshman memories. In 44 BC Julius Caesar was stabbed on the steps of the Roman Senate. Not a good day for Caesar.

Will the Ides of March 2010 be a good day for the Wheatland School Board? Will they "succeed" at confirming that yes indeed, Wheatland Is A Place For Hate? Or will concerned Platte County citizens and WHS students show up to try once again to talk sense into their closed little minds? What Would Jesus Do? He'd grab his dad's hammer and put those banners up himself.

Tonight's school board meeting starts at 7pm, at the usual place. The board is keeping its collective fingers crossed that they "won" and that everyone will have forgotten those soundbytes and all the recognition their Hate Games illicited for our fair town. They're hoping with whatever hearts they have that no one will show, no one will ask questions, no one will make them think.

See you at the meeting. The board will have to allow that confounded 30 minutes of public comment (and this time shout foul if Kelly Tyson uses some of it like he did month) but they won't like it any more than they did last time. Dallas Mount may ask that the time be extended, so that all may be heard, but likely no other board member will have the decency to second his motion. Again.
 
The board will have to deal with the "No Advertising in Schools" situation, because that was officially asked for. Seeing how they decide to handle that alone will be worth attending the meeting.

WHS is safe from the No Place For Hate label. No one is thinking of moving to Wheatland or Wyoming for its progressive, or liberal or "Do Unto Others" ethics. No one thinks that Wheatland is even aware of what's going on outside its walls. Nope, Wheatland is "safe" from infiltration by anyone who doesn't Think Like Jack. Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!

Any change for Wheatland will have to come from those of us who already live here. If Wheatland is ever to be more than what it is, it will be because of the people like the ones who showed up, and spoke up last month at the school board meeting, and those of us who will indeed show up again. Please join us. Make them listen to 30 more minutes of what the people of Platte want. Show them that Wheatland is NO Place For Hate.

Get with it.: 
Very true!  The main problem is that the supposed leaders poor choices give the educators who are doing their job a bad rap and are criticized from everyone in the community.   The old adage one apple makes the whole basket bad.  Maybe educators should be tested for alcohol and drug use.  Power plant, coal mine, oil field employees.  People who are with and around kids everyday should be tested.

No place for Drunks:

The guy's not on the "on ramp" but rather by the "frontage road".  You might want to mark this little bit of land somehow, as it is seemingly not in ANYONE'S juristiction.  Guy's not breaking any laws, apparently mentally and physically ok.  Will probably move on when the temperatures drop enough to make it mostly uncomfortable to sit around outdoors.  Folks keep giving him money, probably makes more than you and I.  Why leave a good thing until you have to?

MP: 
A little clarification on the March 16 & 17 comments on the closing of Platte County's Public Shooting range.  There was some new fence being put in and the folks who were working on the fence were tired of hitting the ground to dodge the bullets and didn't want to take a bullet in the head, so they requested it be closed while they were working to avoid any mishaps.  It had not a thing to do with the School Board.

Input required from Jack: 
So Jack, what should we do about these gays? Should we ban them from going to any and all dances? And I'm not talking just high school, I'm talking adults too. Should we ban them from attending ALL functions as couples because, as you so wisely put it, it's glorifying them.

Wednesday
3/24/10 11:47 AM

I am aware of the story and fully support the school board there.
There is no "right" to a prom and if those folks do not wish to support glorifying a mental illness they have a right to cancel it.

Jack for Mayor of Wheatland: 
Jack, I'm assuming you live in Wheatland because you're so into the slime of it all. You should really, and I mean this sincerely, think about running for Mayor or at least Commissioner of Platte. You are a perfect mouthpiece for the community! You are the epitome of all that is Wheatland and Platte. You have the politics, the philosophy and the intelligence that set Wheatland apart from, well, from anywhere else in the entire country, and, likely the world. You ARE Wheatland! Please Jack, step up to the plate and keep speaking up for Wheatland. We need you Jack. With you in charge of at least a part of things, there will be no gays come running in here, and the liberals will finally take a cue and get the heck outta here and take their lattes with them. Jack for Mayor! Then Jack for Governor once he's cleaned up the streets of Wheatland. You're a great representative for Wheatland residents.

Jack: 
"From what i heard no one else on that board had the courage to second the motion, therefore shutting the free speech off."

You’re suggesting that the school board had something to do with the shooting range being closed for a few days?
Wednesday
3/17/10 8:36 PM
Wheaterville Resident: 
Well, must be why the City locked up the "PUBLIC" shooting range a few days back.  So no one could practice before the meetings???? Or since we had a few nice days, no one could use the PUBLIC shooting range. No sign on the gate as to why- local Sheriff has no clue since it is not HIS problem. 
Tuesday

Hubert Has a Fence AND a Special Use Permit

Right?

I mean, we all sort of think that Hubert got his Special Use Permit this time around. Didn't he? Sure he did. How could he not?

If he did, it comes strapped to a lot of conditions, including, you guessed it, a fence. And this time a fence with Conditions. (Ain't nobody in Wheaterville gonna have to say: "Fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again." Uh-Uh.)
 
Hubert finally gets his Special Use Permit (for at least six months or until there are more complaints) after a Zoning Certificate is approved, and after he builds a fence of bundles or boards, eight feet high, from the NE corner of his place to 50 feet from his house.

Deja vu again, but on a more manageable scale.

Marlin the Planner however, does not like being undermined, and he said so. He's not sure the current screening really screens, although everyone else, including the Planning and Zoning Board, disagrees with his assessment. If that fence does anything, it screens, is the the concensus. But darn it all, Marlin the Planner does not appreciate the "established rules" being bent. He was supposed to win this one.

Platte County resident Chris Gray agreed that Hubert's "bad behavior" shouldn't be "rewarded". Wait, what "bad behavior?" Oh--challenging his right to get the Special Use Permit! Which he got. Which indicates that he should have had a whole hell of a long time ago. Seems like "bad behavior"  like that "fighting for what is right" is something we all oughta see more of.

However, just to make sure that no one thinks anyone except Hubert and the posse were ever in the wrong, one of the conditions of Hubert's Special Use Permit is that everyone agrees that the approval of the Special Use Permit does not in any way "...imply any County override of applicable District Court Orders." So there. Na na na na na. 

Bottom line is that there'll be some more fence building going on before the Saga of Hubert is over, but it looks like everyone is ok with all of it.

Right?
Tuesday

Huberts Possee: 
So, does anyone know for sure if Hubert has his 4th Special Use Permit....in his hand?  If not, why?
If so, good!
Tuesday
5/26/09 8:52 AM
Huberts Possee: 
Yep, Hubert got the special use permit but with all the conditions...like the "screening" extended within 50 feet of his house.  Does Marlin lay awake all night thinking up stipulations that have to be followed to get a special use permit?
The fence/screening really only benefits the neighbor across the road, that helped start all this up roar.  She can now look at the bundles of slabs instead of the salvage materials.  I hope she is happy that she caused Hubert all this trouble after he plowed and maintained her road for 15 years.  It cost Hubert $17,000 of his $20,000 bond, that the commissioners paid Grays Metal Solutions to remove equiptment from Huberts property.  Then there is the damage that was done to the sawmill equiptment.  Do you think the stress of 5 years of litigation has help contribute of Hubert's poor health?
We need to get Marlin out of the Planning and Zoning before this happens again. 
By the way, is there anyone interested in running for Dan Kirkbrides commissioner position?

New Year, New Stuff

2009 in Wheatland, WY and the surrounds looks like the times they are a' changin'.

WADCO is PCED...New Year, New Name. Wheatland Area Development COrporation (WADCO) is now Platte County Economic Development (PCED). New executive director coming soon, and a new website too...former ed Susan Jenkins had Big Wind Guys in town and they were NOT just talking hot air. 2009 could bring more wind and more economic development to Platte County, and PCED will be a driving force.

For instance, take a photo of the drive on I25 between Wheatland and Chugwater sometime this year. Odds are it's going to look mighty different by the time 2014 rolls around. That's been named The Wind Corridor by wind folks in the know--pretty soon you'll be able to connect the dots between the wind turbines, 'cuz folks, we got wind, lots of it, and the gov'ment gots cash to spend on turning it into energy.

That Big, Wonderful, New nursing home in Wheatland? Sounds like Platte County Economic Development there too. There's a timeline on this and lots of checkpoints--stay tuned and get involved. The good news is that the new nursing home will affect just about everyone at some point. Make it what you want it to be.

Get involved in PCED, get involved in the Chamber of Commerce, support local businesses, stick your nose into local politics, contribute time and ideas to your town and be a part of all the positive that's happening. 

You don't have to "go with the flow" but you should at least jump into the water.

Road Construction thru Sybille Canyon
Road construction through Sybille Canyon, on Highway 34, will start in April. The signs are already up, and much of the 10 mile stretch is already staked. You can get a pretty good idea of where the curves and juts won't be if you cruise Hwy. 34 on one of these nice spring days.

WYDOT will be using www.sybillecanyon.com as a place to announce road closures for blasting. They'll also use the website to let folks know about anticipated travel delays. (There'll always be those UNanticipated delays, but WYDOT is going to do their best to let you know about the ones they know about, before they happen, so you can plan your trips through Sybille Canyon accordingly.

This is about the last stretch of road to be tweaked. It's between Mile Marker 22 and just past Hwy 12 on the Wheatland side. Construction is likely to start early and go late, with not a lot of days off...just fyi.

Drive safe!

One More Reason to Hate Boulder, CO
Boulder, CO had their annual "Naked Pumpkin Run" with 300 bare-buttocks (that'd be 150 partici-pants, with two buttocks per) runners. They run thru the streets of that crazy liberal prarie dog hugging elitist enclave every year, wearing just a pumpkin on their head, er, on their noggin to be more specific. And if that doesn't make you just want to spit and poke fun, how 'bout the fact that 12 of those intellectual latte drinkers got CAUGHT and arrested! (Would you DO this if you couldn't avoid being CAUGHT?!?!?)
Anyway, Boulder might just slap their behinds with "sex offender" status, so there!

The Lord's Army: 
But the prophet who shall presume to speak a word in My name which I have not commanded him to speak, or who shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.  -Deut. 18:20

Wheatland, Wyoming is a town that has forgotten the word of the Living God.  How dare any of you blapsheming hypocrites say you know the Lord your God when you have turned against His perfect, divinely inspired Word?  Read the Bible!  The laws of the Old Testament are alive and well.  Lie not with mankind as with womankind!  Wheatland has done a good job ridding itself of the admoniable homosexual filth, but it is still a community of transgression!  What about the other sexual and moral sins that are committed here?
NONE of you have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your savior.  You worship false idols and pray for the souls of the murdered even though the Lord's Anger is pouring.  I am done praying for your souls to open your eyes to God and do all that is unclean before Him. 
Fin, you are Satan in the flesh and are trying to sway people to worship your idols.  Find God and learn his word!  And you Christian hypocrites, stop beliveing only the good parts of the Holy Bible and ignoring the bad!  To be sealed in heaven as a servent of our Lord we must obey all His Laws!  Do not allow women to speak in church!  Condemn those who do not obey!  Make this town clean!  And most importantly--accept the good and the bad from God because everything is good from God--even the events that have transpired because of His burning anger against this self proclaimed Christian town full of sin!

Boulder Bun Basher: 
Ya, even Boulder goes after sex offenders but this does seem extreme. Maybe though that's why all the Colorado sex offenders come up here to Wyoming where they're safe. Maybe Wyoming should look around and learn from Boulder. Is this on Youtube?
