 has been identified as Terry Zaske, 48, of Rapid City, South Dakota.

Zaske was riding his motorcycle on U.S. Highway 14/16/20 on Wednesday when he was struck by a Ford pickup truck that swerved into his lane near Wapiti, the Wyoming Highway Patrol said.

Zaske died at the scene. Zaske's wife, Candis, was LifeFlighted to a hospital in Billings, Montana, where she is recovering from serious injuries.

Kaitlyn Zaske, Terry’s daughter, also from Rapid City, 

 to pay for her father's funeral and cover her stepmother's medical bills. She described her father as a jovial soul and a doting grandfather, taken from her family too soon.

“My dad was so many things to so many people,” she wrote. “He was a son, father, grandpa, brother, uncle, and friend. He was my dad and losing him so unexpectedly has left a hole in our family that words cannot describe.”

[{"type":"text","marks":[{"type":"bold"}],"text":"The Incident"}]

Zaske and three other motorcycles were traveling west on U.S. 14/16/20 toward Yellowstone National Park when the eastbound pickup truck drifted into the opposite lane. The truck struck two motorcycles directly, including Zaske’s, which caused the motorcycles behind them to crash as well.

A Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) vehicle, traveling behind the motorcycles, attempted to swerve to avoid the oncoming truck. The truck clipped the WYDOT vehicle’s tailgate and continued into a field before coming to a stop.

Ten people and six vehicles were involved in the incident. Five people were seriously injured.

“One person was taken by helicopter to Billings for medical treatment,” said Wyoming Highway Patrol spokesperson Aaron Brown. “Another was taken by ambulance to Cody before being flown to Billings as well. Two others were taken by ambulance to Cody with non-life-threatening injuries, where they were treated and released.”

The Highway Patrol said the driver of the Ford pickup was responsible for the accident. Driver inattention and driver fatigue/asleep were the contributing factors.  

As of Friday, it’s unknown whether any charges have been or will be filed against the pickup driver.

U.S. 14/16/20 was closed for 5 1/2 hours as first responders treated the victims and cleared the highway of debris.

[{"type":"text","marks":[{"type":"bold"}],"text":"Permanent Pain"}]

Candis Zaske is still receiving medical care in Billings. Kaitlyn said her stepmother has “a long road ahead” that will keep her from working.

Knowing the costs of her father's funeral and stepmother's medical bills will be immense, Kaitlyn is turning to friends, family, and other motorcyclists for support.

“While no amount of money can ever take away this pain, we are asking for help to ease some of the financial burden that has suddenly fallen on our family,” she wrote. “Nothing is expected, but everything is appreciated.”

As of Friday, the GoFundMe had reached more than $8,000 of its $14,000 goal.

Kaitlyn shared that she and her father were attempting to repair their relationship after years of conflict when he died. She “will forever wish we had more time.”

“We were just starting to find our way back to each other,” she wrote. “Regardless of everything, he was still my dad. He was still a grandpa, and he loved all of his kids and grandkids with everything he had.”

Kaitlyn will remember her father’s humor and how much he enjoyed doting on his grandchildren. The accident “unexpectedly changed (our family) forever.”

“He had a way of cracking a joke and making anyone laugh, but one of the things I will always remember most was how much he loved his grandchildren and how much he loved to spoil them,” she wrote. “Thank you to everyone who has reached out, prayed for us, shared their love, or offered support during this heartbreaking time. It means more to our family than you will ever know.”

Crime & Courts

A predawn burglary spree through Lander in April left businesses ransacked, windows smashed and a convenience store clerk with three stab wounds in her back. Now, one of the two people accused in the rampage has agreed to plead guilty to a felony.

Amanda Phillips, 21, signed a plea agreement filed Aug. 12 in Fremont County District Court, resolving her part of a case that began with stolen booze and cigarettes.

[{"type":"text","text":"The charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison."}]

In exchange, Fremont County Attorney Micah Wyatt has agreed to dismiss Phillips' two remaining charges — accessory after the fact to aggravated assault and battery and fleeing.

[{"type":"text","text":"No agreement was reached, however, about what her punishment should be."}]

The agreement specifically describes it as a "cold" plea, meaning both prosecutors and Phillips' defense attorney, public defender Zachary H. Mahlum, remain free to argue for whatever sentence they deem appropriate.

Phillips also agrees to pay restitution on all of the original charges, including those prosecutors have agreed to dismiss.

[{"type":"text","text":"Ultimately, the sentence will be up to the judge."}]

Phillips' co-defendant, 18-year-old Lorenzo Hopper, remains charged with attempted first-degree murder and five other crimes. He is scheduled for a jury trial Nov. 16.

[{"type":"text","marks":[{"type":"bold"}],"text":"Smashed Windows "}]

The incidents began around 3:40 a.m. April 21, when police say Hopper jumped the counter at the Loaf N' Jug on Main Street, grabbed a bottle of alcohol and took off.

The clerk called police and gave officers a description of Hopper, but a search of the area came up empty.

Over the next hour, several Lander businesses were broken into and vandalized, with alcohol, cigarettes, cash and other property reported stolen.

Phillips allegedly drove Hopper to several locations that morning. She later told investigators she was looking at her phone and didn't see what he was doing.

Among the businesses hit was the County 10 radio station, where investigators say an oxygen bottle was used to smash the front-door window. Surveillance video showed Hopper entering the building, where a commemorative Gerber hunting knife was among the items reported stolen.

Police would later find computer screens, oxygen bottles, an oxygen mask and plumbing equipment inside the vehicle Phillips was driving, according an affidavit of probable cause. 

Then, around 4:37 a.m. — nearly an hour after the first call — police were sent back to the Loaf N' Jug.

[{"type":"text","text":"Hopper had returned."}]

[{"type":"text","marks":[{"type":"bold"}],"text":"Three Stab Wounds"}]

The affidavit says Hopper went inside the store and confronted clerk Dayle Mefford, who called 911.

Investigators allege he attacked Mefford with a stolen knife, stabbing her three times in the back.

[{"type":"text","text":"Mefford was seriously wounded and was LifeFlighted for treatment."}]

Her daughter, Aiko Miller, later told Cowboy State Daily that strangers who happened upon the violence rushed in to help her mother.

One person used a vehicle to frighten off the attacker as the assault escalated, Miller said. Others tended to Mefford's wounds until emergency medical crews arrived.

[{"type":"text","text":"Miller said her mother believed their intervention saved her life."}]

"We are beyond grateful to the good Samaritan that stepped in and scared that man off and administered wound care," Miller said. "It saved my mom's life."

[{"type":"text","text":"Mefford has since been recovering from her injuries."}]

[{"type":"text","marks":[{"type":"bold"}],"text":"Plea Deal"}]

Although Phillips and Hopper were arrested together April 21, the criminal cases against them took different shapes.

An initial Lander Police Department announcement said both were facing attempted-murder charges while investigators were still sorting through what happened.

Once formal charges were filed, however, prosecutors did not charge Phillips with attempted murder.

Instead, she was charged with accessory before the fact to burglary, accessory after the fact to aggravated assault and battery, and fleeing or attempting to elude police.

Hopper faces six charges: Attempted first-degree murder, aggravated burglary, two counts of aggravated assault and battery, interference with a peace officer and theft.

Both pleaded not guilty during separate arraignments May 21 in Fremont County District Court.

[{"type":"text","text":"Phillips is now moving toward resolving her case without a trial."}]

Under the Wednesday agreement, she will plead guilty only to accessory before the fact to burglary. Prosecutors will ask the court to dismiss the other two charges once her guilty plea is entered and accepted.

Because the agreement contains no sentencing recommendation, Phillips could still face a sentence within the range allowed by Wyoming law.

[{"type":"text","text":"Her existing bond will remain in effect while she awaits sentencing."}]

[{"type":"text","marks":[{"type":"bold"}],"text":"Hopper Headed To Trial"}]

[{"type":"text","text":"Hopper's trial in November will be in Fremont County District Court."}]

The attempted first-degree murder charge is by far the most serious allegation against him and could expose him to decades in prison.

Shortly after his preliminary hearing this spring, Hopper wrote a handwritten letter to the judge in which he expressed remorse and said he hoped someday to apologize to Mefford "face to face."

He wrote that he was finished drinking and wanted people to see something in him beyond the crimes he is accused of committing.

Phillips' plea agreement also still must make its way through the court. Filing the agreement does not itself constitute a guilty plea. Phillips must formally enter that plea and the judge must accept it before the agreement takes effect.

The Wyoming's Turn PAC that has been attacking Sen. Eric Barlow in his run for governor is the state's biggest-spending PAC in the primary election. Cowboy State Daily’s Clair McFarland reports that’s nearly $1 million more than last cycle’s top spender.

“That PAC spent about $1.4 million in this election cycle last year. Some of the biggest spenders we saw were right about half million, or actually closer to 300,000, 400,000. This year we saw Make Liberty Win, often a top spender with just over half million, and so they got beat by the big governor's PAC. There is also a PAC that's spending around $200,000 that has been attacking Degenfelder.”

 reports receiving over $1.5M in contributions this year, meaning it has a little over $95,000 remaining in the final week before Tuesday’s primary election.

The mother and grandfather of a 2-month old baby found dead in a sweltering, feces-filled camper pleaded not guilty Tuesday to numerous charges surrounding the infant's death. Cowboy State Daily’s Kolby Fedore reports that caseworkers did have contact with the family earlier in the year.

“DFS had tried to go and see inside of the camper and check on the baby's welfare, and Travis' study basically told them to leave his property and would not give them access to come inside. After a high risk pregnancy, the baby soon lost 11% of its body weight. When one caseworker went to the house, she noticed signs of debris everywhere, including a strong odor of cat urine coming from one of their vehicles. DFS tried to make contact, and when they came up to the camper, Travis Study told them to leave and would not give them access to come inside or to check on the baby.”

Both defendants have pleaded not guilty. 22-year-old Destiny Study faces only misdemeanors, and she will have a pre-trial conference in November. 57-year-old Travis Study also pleaded not guilty, so now the case awaits the trial date.

The national social media influencer Libs of TikTok blasted a Laramie High School counselor on Thursday for saying he wishes Wyoming House Speaker Chip Neiman had been aborted. Cowboy State Daily’s Clair McFarland reports the influencer wrote, “Would you want this person in charge of your kids' mental health?”

“She blasted a commenter who also happens to be a Laramie High School counselor for saying he wishes House Speaker Chip Neiman had been aborted. So Neiman said the comment was horrific, undermines the pro-choice argument. But he also said he feels for the counselor.”

When asked to comment about Jason Uitterdyk’s post, Albany County School District No. 1 declined to comment via its communications coordinator Madison Green.

A dimwitted tourist posted a video of himself illegally climbing above the Upper Falls of the Grand Canyon in Yellowstone earlier this week. He bragged about the “risky view” and how it gave him adrenaline. Cowboy State Daily’s Andrew Rossi reports that the unidentified, for now, hiker’s Instagram post could result in charges.

“You are not allowed to go off trail in the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. Off-trail travel in that area is prohibited, and climbing onto the perch over the upper falls of the Grand Canyon is considered off-trail travel. Climbing falls under that jurisdiction, so certainly should not have been where he was. And the worst thing you can do if you're going to do something like that in Yellowstone is post about it on social media, which he also did. So not only is that discouraging because it might encourage other people to do the same thing, it's self-incriminating.”

Rock climbing isn’t prohibited in Yellowstone, but going off-trail is. The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is one of those areas. The exact language of the prohibition can be found in the 

Yellowstone Superintendent’s Compendium

, which is reviewed annually and updated as needed. 

I’ll have more news from Cowboy State Daily right after this.

The Bureau of Land Management plans to round up about 1,800 mustangs in the Red Desert Complex of central Wyoming this fall, claiming that overpopulated horses are at risk for starvation. Cowboy State Daily’s Mark Heinz reports that wild-horse advocate Carol Walker doesn’t believe that.

“The BLM starting this fall, maybe in October, they want to go in and their end goal is to round up about 1,800 horses out of there and get their numbers back down. Their claim is if we don't get in there and reduce that population significantly, some horses could start starving. I talked to a wild horse advocate who told me that in her words, she says that's baloney. She said that from what she's seen out on the range, the horses are all in good shape. They're all looking fat and looking like they have plenty to eat.”

[{"type":"text","marks":[{"type":"textStyle"}],"text":"The roundups are set to begin in the fall."}]

Hulett's Ham and Jam is supposed to be a one-day party. Ride in, have a Bloody Mary, eat a pork sandwich, and roar off into the distance toward Sturgis. But Cowboy State Daily’s Renee Jean reports that the event has become such a popular event, the 30,000 bikers who visit every year have extended their stay.

“It's a great, beautiful ride in Wyoming's northeastern Black Hills, and so in order to attract more of those riders, a lot of the towns that are on this loop, like Hewlett, have come up with you know things to attract some of the Sturgis rally goers. Captain Ron, the guy that owned Ron's Rodeo Bar, came up with the idea to serve a free pork sandwich to Sturgis rally goers at his bar, and he had free music and you know, of course, drinks you buy, but free pork sandwich.”

Captain Ron’s Rodeo Bar server Kelly Maher-Wolfensperger has just a few rules for the annual Ham and Jam party that happens in Hulett each year. She tells Cowboy State Daily, “We do not mince, muddle, or blend – so don’t ask.” Her no-nonsense rules mean the bar doesn’t make Old Fashioneds, mojitos, or mules during the weeks of the Sturgis rally. 

A grizzly and wolf initially had a tense standoff over a bison carcass in Yellowstone, but opted to resolve it peacefully. Outdoors Reporter Mark Heinz reports that the photographer who filmed the interaction said they're smarter than people think because the animals know fighting could be costly. 

“I talked to a photographer, Marcela Herdova.she just got some cool footage of a wolf and a grizzly bear. There, there was a carcass nearby, and they were kind of getting close to each other and posturing and doing the tough guy thing, but they didn't actually fight.  More often than not, it turns out how it's shown in that video, where the animals will posture and kind of you know puff up and then one will eventually give up and walk away. Fights are risky, you know. If a person breaks an arm, you go to the doctor to get it fixed. If a wolf breaks his leg in a fight, then he's screwed. Probably going to die, you know. And they seem to know that.”

The worst it got was the bear giving the wolf a grumpy “side eye,” Herdova tells Cowboy State Daily, who was among numerous visitors who saw the drama in Yellowstone's Hayden Valley. 

Two South Dakota Highway Patrol troopers were nearly struck by lightning while on a manhunt Wednesday evening. Body cam video captured the lightning strike followed by an immediate yell. Cowboy State Daily’s Andrew Rossi reports that lightning struck a little too close for comfort for the troopers.

“The South Dakota Highway Patrol troopers were not injured, though it was the shock of their lives. They were only a few yards away from the lightning strike. It does tend to be true that lightning strikes the tallest point in an area, but that's not a guarantee. It strikes ground all the time, as we see in Wyoming. That's how we get wildfires. The best thing you can do if you're in an area where you're anticipating a lightning strike because you hear thunder, it's not to go prostrate on the ground. Don't do that. The goal is to make yourself as short and as small as possible. So crouch down and get it so that only the slightest bits of your toes are actually touching the ground, because then you're conducting less electricity.”

The troopers were searching for someone with “a purple shirt” when lightning suddenly struck the ground just south of Rapid City, according to a video the highway patrol posted.

Opinion

CSD Columnists

There was no crowd to energize, no babies to kiss nor hundreds of hands to shake. No stem-winder of a political speech was delivered. 

This was just a cowboy and a little kid comparing their hand-me-down belt buckles and getting to know each other.

It happened last Friday in Cheyenne when Sen. Eric Barlow took some time away from the grueling pace of his campaign for governor to meet my four year-old grandson, Dayton, in front of the U.P depot so they could shake, howdy and compare belt buckles. 

[{"type":"text","text":"I consider that just cowboy as hell on Barlow’s part."}]

[{"type":"text","text":"Here’s the story of those buckles. "}]

I had just returned to the ranch where I grew up after several years in Italy. 

I decided to get belt buckles made for my dad Frank, my brother Mark, and myself with the family’s I Lazy D brand emblazoned thereon.

A belt buckle with the family brand is wearable heritage. Passing it down to the next generation is an act of love and shared history.

I Lazy D is an old brand, recorded in the Wyoming territorial brand book around 1870. 

Cattle and horses wore it before Wyoming became a state. But more on brands later.

I ran my trapline in Rawlins and found out that the best bucklemaker was doing time in the old penitentiary for forgery. 

Seems that if a man is good at engraving plates for counterfeit money, he’s also good at crafting belt buckles.

I had three I Lazy D buckles made, and Dad, Mark and I wore them for years. I recently handed mine down to Dayton. 

Mark was State Archaeologist at the time, and got permission from Bill Barlow, Eric’s dad, to excavate an archaeological site on the Barlow ranch. 

To express his thanks, Mark had a belt buckle made by the same silversmith with Barlow’s Bar L O brand and gave it to Bill.

When you see Eric on the campaign trail, he’s wearing that same belt buckle. 

It’s the one his dad wore, then handed down to him, and for my money, it’s one of the cleverest brands in the Wyoming brand book. 

I asked the candidate if he had time to meet Dayton so they could show off the buckles that held their britches up. He graciously said yes, and the photo is in this column.

The expression “riding for the brand” is often misused, and has nothing to do with politics. 

It comes from Wyoming’s open range days in the late 19th century, It describes a cowboy who is skilled and dependable enough to be kept on long term, roundup after roundup, by a big cow outfit. 

A lesser cowhand would be paid his wages after roundup, and sent back out on the grubline to find work somewhere else. 

[{"type":"text","text":"Top hands rode for the brand because the brand gave the cowboy a home."}]

Riding for a brand, a cowboy learns the landscape of the outfit. He knows where to find good grass and water, and where to avoid larkspur and locoweed. He learns where to cross the mountains and rivers without losing livestock.

[{"type":"text","text":"And the cowboy doesn’t choose the brand. "}]

[{"type":"text","text":"The brand chooses the cowboy. Loyalty cuts both ways."}]

That’s why a brand on a belt buckle is worn with a deep sense of pride, like young Dayton Miller and candidate Eric Barlow wear theirs.

Contrast this brand ethic with a Freedom Caucus member getting busted for DUI, and bragging about his “Honor Wyoming” belt buckle during his booking at the jail. 

[{"type":"text","text":"A brand means different things to different people. But I digress."}]

I suppose the aforesaid is a long-winded and flowery way for me to tell you who will get my vote for Wyoming’s governor, and why. 

[{"type":"text","text":"Barlow rides for the brand, as I understand the term. "}]

He shows up. He does the work. And Dayton Miller took a real liking to him.

Public Lands

The Bureau of Land Management is poised to round up about 1,800 mustangs from herds in central Wyoming, claiming the horses will starve if their numbers aren’t cut. 

“Without active management, herds continue to grow unchecked and can double in size every four to five years. Chronic overpopulation places both horses and rangeland resources at risk,” the BLM said Tuesday in announcing the plans for roundups in the Red Desert Complex.

 “Saving wild horses from starvation, protecting America’s public lands,” the BLM describes the effort.

Wild-horse advocate Carol Walker told Cowboy State Daily she thinks the agency is using hyperbole to justify more roundups. 

“That’s baloney. I’m out there all the time,” Walker said. “I was out there about three weeks ago, and I didn’t see a single skinny horse.”

[{"type":"text","marks":[{"type":"textStyle"},{"type":"bold"}],"text":"Target Numbers"}]

Mustang management goes beyond just the horses, mule deer conservationist Bill Ames told Cowboy State Daily. 

He said he didn’t know enough about the Red Desert Complex to say how many horses should be there, but he thinks they're “overpopulated” throughout the state. 

And that can lead to competition with mule deer, pronghorn, and other wildlife, Ames said. 

“I don’t know if they compete for food so much, but they really compete for water,” said Ames, who represents the Wyoming Mule Deer Alliance. 

The roundups are planned in several horse management areas (HMAs) in the Red Desert Complex, including the Antelope Hills, Crooks Mountain, Green Mountain, Lost Creek, and Stewart Creek. 

The appropriate management level for the complex is 480 to 720 horses, meaning about 1,800 horses must be removed to “return herd sizes to sustainable levels,” according to the BLM.

The BLM also plans to use fertility control to trim Red Desert herds. 

“During gather operations, staff plan to treat around 75 to 150 mares with fertility control and release them back to the range,” the announcement said.  

[{"type":"text","marks":[{"type":"textStyle"},{"type":"bold"}],"text":"Ongoing Debate"}]

What's sustainable for the mustang population is a matter of debate. 

The Bureau of Land Management plans to round up about 1,800 mustangs in the Red Desert Complex of central Wyoming this fall, claiming that overpopulated horses are at risk for starvation. “That’s baloney," says wild-horse advocate Carol Walker.
