electricity, etc.; the contractor
has promised an opening date
of July 4th; the planned Grand

center will be open year-round;
there will be interactive displays
for visitors to enjoy; local busi-
nesses can be included for free

WY Business Council and given

staff is participating in the 'Des-
tination Showcase'program and
one of their main goals is to tell
tourists of the many Wyoming
places of interest that are not
just on Interstate 90.
Vice President Thelma opened
the meeting and Dorothy led the
group in the pledge of allegiance.
Four members answered roll
call by sharing kvhat trip she
has always wanted to take'. We
each then gave a thought for the

as corrected. The treasurer
stated that the balance remains
the same as last month. There
was no correspondence.
Unfinished business: Fair

changed; we talked about our
ooks for New Babies' project.
New business: Dorothy

Driskill announces
Senate District I candidacy
At the bottom of every email Ogden Drisk-
ill sends is a Wyoming bucking horse and a
quote of Thomas Jefferson's: "A government big
enough to give you everything you want, is big
enough to take everything you have." The fifth-
generation rancher from Devils Tower says that, :
if elected, his priorities will be to reduce govern-
ment spending, ensure private property rights
and return local control to the counties.
Speaking from the family ranch, Driskill stat-
ed, "Wyoming's state budget has doubled in this
past decade. We have squandered a large part of
past year surpluses without leaving a legacy for
future generations. It reminds me of the bumper
sticker, 'Please, Lord, just one more oil boom.
I promise not to --- this one away'. We need to
reel spending in, while making sure our rural
communities are not unfairly compromised."
Driskill believes that the first task for a new
State Senator will be to form solid working
relationships built on trust with others in the
legislature. This will be key to ensuring his abil-
ity to achieve what is best for the First Senate
District, which encompasses all of Crook, Nio-
brara and Weston Counties along with parts of
Platte and Goshen.
"If elected I will do all I can to bring control
of local issues back to the citizens of the coun-
ties. Over the last number of years we have
lost fiscal and rule-making control. The State
of Wyoming is starting to act like a miniature
Washington DC, consolidating dollars and con-
trol in Cheyenne -- forcing rural counties, towns
and citizens to compete with wealthier counties
and larger population centers. It is high time to
let local governments run their own affairs and
if elected I will work to bring local control back
to the grassroots."
Driskill has extensive board experience serv-
ing on many local, state and national boards,
including two terms as regional vice-president
for the Wyoming Stock Growers Association,
State Committeeman for the Republican Party
and on the boards of the Crook County Irriga-
tion District, Land Trust Alliance, Partnership
of Rangeland Trusts and the Wyoming Stock
Growers Agricultural Land Trust. He received
a Community Hero of Wyoming award for his
work in saving the Hulett High School from the
wrecking ball and its transformation into the
Greater Hulett Area Community Center.
In response to the announcement of Driskill's
candidacy, U.S. House Rep. Cynthia Lummis
stated, "Tough economic times call for com-
mon sense and creative solutions: that de-
scribes Ogden Driskill. Ogden's solid Wyoming
values, coupled with his extraordinary vision,
make him one of the most qualified and desir-
able candidates for public office I know." Drisk-
ill's ability to get things done and his leadership
skills have not gone unnoticed. Driskill was in-
vited to testify before the V S culture + ¢esentation i n our ,

Ogden Driskill
hearings throughout the country.
He has been married to Rosanne Shoop Drisk-
ill for twenty-eight years. Ogden and "Zannie"
owned and managed the Devils Tower Trading
Post for eight years and continue to operate a
vegetation management business they estab-
lished in 1982. Driskill took over management
of the family ranch in 1990 and Zannie has
been the postmaster at Devils Tower for 25
years. A graduate of Hulett High School, Driskill
obtained an ag degree from Casper College and
attended the University of Wyoming.
The Driskills have three children. Andrea is
an agriculture and special" education teacher
in Upton where she is the FFA advisor. Katerie
is student at the University of Wyoming and
is employed at the Laramie Community Youth
Crisis Center. Son Lincoln is a student at
Sheridan College and is a past Wyoming State
Wrestling champion. Providing quality educa-
tion to Wyoming's rural youth is another issue
Driskill intends to focus on if elected.
"Small school funding needs to be addressed.
While large schools are awash in money and
offer every program and extracurricular activ-
ity imaginable, small schools must privately
raise money for students to participate in ex-
tracurricular activities and offer only limited
opportunities."
Driskill says that he has always had an in-
terest in Wyoming's state legislature and has
watched it closely over the years. "I think Chuck
Townsend has done a great job of representing
Senate District # 1. When Chuck made the deci-
sion not to run again, I received many calls and
a lot of encouragement and decided the time
was right for me to run. I thank everyone for the
encouragement to pursue my heart-felt desire
to help Wyoming remain strong and fiscally
intact into the future whfle+ing it,&,eat
