Just weeks after the mauling death of 70 year of Erwin Frank Evert of Park Ridge, Ill another female grizzly attacked sleeping campers in the Soda Butte campground killing one man and wounding 2 others. Kevin Kammer, 48, from Michigan was killed and drug away from the campground before the grizzly attacked 2 other campers.
The 2nd attack happened to Canada vacationer, Deborah Freele who is currently in the West Park Hospital until Sunday. Freele tells reporters from her hospital bed that she woke seconds before the grizzly latched onto her arm and shoulder and screamed several times before it started to drag her out of the tent. She realized that she had to stop screaming in order to survive. She did the absolute right thing. She played dead. If she had not, the bear would have bit and shook her to death.
Mrs Freele should be released on Sunday as long as their are no signs of infection from the bear bites to her arm and shoulder.
July 24th, 2010 CWN I started this post several months ago. Somehow it got pushed to the side as most things do when summer finally hits and there’s stuff to do around the yard. Well with time aside, here it is folks.
After reading through our Cody Enterprise I couldn’t help but notice the amazing amount of police reports involving fraud, scams and UIP’s complaints (Uninformed Innocent People) .
How times change. When I moved to Cody in the 90′s from the east coast I couldn’t help but be amazed at the lack of crime in this small western town. I was genuinely pleased that I would be raising my child in a simple quiet little town that you only read about in fiction novels. Dog at large was the most common complaint followed by a few bar fights, bears in my yard or horses wondering the roads.
When I read the crime section now I notice how the crimes are related to our growing technology. There are always the ‘oldies’ crimes such as check fraud, simple assault, traffic stops, and stray animals. But now we see: Nude pictures on my iPhone, eBay item not as described, unknown person texting me, and computer crimes such as vehicle for sale scams.
.
I thought this would be something I could write about and maybe offer some information as I have sold on eBay and work with fraud and scams in one way or another nearly everyday.

A cow elk gives birth right next to the Administration building at Yellowstone National Park headquarters in Mammoth Hot Springs!
You can see how wildlife and people can live together harmoniously. And I figure it is one of the few places in the Yellowstone area where a cow elk can safely have her calf without it being eaten immediately by a grizzly or a wolf!
Enjoy these great photos! -
