Wyoming Herpetology Society to host first-ever symposium

Lizards, toads and snakes — oh my! While some may want to turn and run the other way when seeing such creatures, others move in for a closer look. Herpetology is the study of amphibians and reptiles, and those individuals with a strong fondness and curiosity for these animals are herpetophiles. Herpetophiles will gather this Saturday for the first-ever Wyoming Herpetological Symposium at the University of Wyoming. The free event will take place in the UW Berry Biodiversity Conservation Center auditorium from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Registration has closed, although walk-ins are welcome. Mason Lee, senior project coordinator for the UW Biodiversity Institute, an avid herpetophile herself, is excited to help coordinate this first symposium. “We’re very excited to bring together herpetological enthusiasts and researchers in Wyoming and the region to celebrate the awesome research and field adventures that everybody has been up to,” Lee said. Lee will step to the podium herself to talk about the western tiger salamander population in Laramie’s LaBonte Park. Volunteers gather every spring to assist in the annual salamander migration as the animals cross busy streets to return to the pond for the summer. That is only part of the story, though. In

Council postpones vote on construction site rules amid data center noise-related concerns

CHEYENNE — Following extensive discussion over industrial noise standards and their potential impacts on data centers, construction businesses and other industrial operations, members of the Cheyenne City Council voted to postpone consideration of an amendment to the Unified Development Code regarding construction site rules. The ordinance, which was discussed at a council meeting Monday, would create two new sections of the UDC and amend three existing ones. The changes are intended to clarify requirements around establishing uses, including expectations for construction sites, while also addressing concerns about water use, lighting, noise and other impacts associated with large industrial developments. Much of the debate centered on proposed noise limits, which the document states should be 45 decibels in residential areas and 65 decibels everywhere else. Paul Steed, project manager for Mechanical Systems Inc., warned council members that lower noise thresholds could have unintended consequences for local businesses and construction projects. He said reducing allowable noise levels could require expensive mitigation measures, particularly near residential areas. Representatives from the data center industry also supported reasonable noise protections, but questioned whether the proposed standards were appropriate. Chris Tetlow, metro director for Microsoft in Cheyenne, urged council members to retain limits that currently apply

Natrona County, Cheyenne East take similarities into Class 4A football championship game

CHEYENNE — Going 5-5 last season caused a great deal of self-reflection for Natrona County’s football program. The Mustangs had posted winning records 13 times since 2010. Last fall was the third time during that stretch they had finished .500. Their last losing season was 2009. Natrona coach Steve Harshman and his staff thought simplicity was the key to turning things around. “We pushed the reset button and went back to focusing on the fundamentals,” said Harshman, who is wrapping up his 36th season as the Mustangs’ head coach. “You can get into the trap of ‘more,’ when you start thinking about how you’re going to beat a program like Sheridan. You start thinking you have to have more plays, you have to practice more, you have to lift weights more. “More, more, more. More is not always better. So, we pushed the reset button and limited the number of plays and limited some other things.” The result of simplification is Natrona entering the Wyoming Clas 4A state championship game as one of the most dominant teams in recent memory. The Mustangs (11-0) are No. 1 in 4A in rushing offense (276 yards per game) and scoring offense (39.4 points
