Ex-guard member plans to sue state - The Sheridan Press

10 Scene The
Court hearing on pathway canceled
By Pat Blair
Senior Staff reporter
Jeff Anderson and Patricia Garlow will
not go to court today over a proposed pedestrian-bicycle
path proponents of the path
want to build across their property.
Their petition for an injunction to prevent
construction of the pathway on property they
own in conjunction with the Camp Great
Bear RV Park off Avoca Avenue was withdrawn
because any construction is at least
six months away, Sheridan City Attorney
Steve Gregerson said.

Anderson and Garlow as principals of
Camp Great Bear Inc. filed for a preliminary
injunction against the city of Sheridan to
stop construction of the pathway across a
flood control easement on their property.
A hearing was scheduled for 3 p.m.
today.
The proposed pathway is part of the
Sheridan Pathways System proposed by the
Transportation Alternatives Coalition
(TRAC), a private non-profit organization of
Sheridan residents who began work three or
four years ago on a series of bicycle/pedestrian
paths that would eventually extend
from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m. Monday,

Cat survives trip to dump inside crushing truck
GILLETTE (AP) — If cats have
nine lives, one long-haired calico has
probably used up six of hers.
A year-old cat known simply as
‘‘Kitty’’ survived a trip to the
Campbell County landfill this month
after hitching a ride in a garbage
truck that compacted its trash — and
the feline — repeatedly.
‘‘She probably got compacted
five or six times,’’ said Craig
McOmie, county recycling coordinator.
Once at the landfill, ‘‘She popped
out and climbed to the top of the
pile,’’ he said.
After a worker noticed the cat,
landfill operators retrieved it, fed it
and called animal control.
‘‘She howled until we came to her
rescue. I thought she would run when
we approached her but she was just
scared and wanted somebody to pick
her up,’’ McOmie said.
Mary Padova, a county animal
control officer, said she has never
seen anything like it.
‘‘She wasn’t hurt, just smelly,’’
she said.
No one claimed the cat at the
pound.
‘‘We hung on to her and hoped
someone would call in. No one ever
did,’’ city animal control officer
Bonnie Driskill said. ‘‘She was a real
lover and just kind of a character.’’
Then, as luck would have it, 9year-old
Katie Malgren spotted her
and thought she was ‘‘pretty, soft and
spunky.’’
Katie’s family had just moved to
the county from Washington three
months ago and were looking for a
cat to replace Katie’s missing cat,
Ike.
Although Ike was later found,
Kitty has become a living legend in
the Malgren household.
‘‘It was so amazing a cat could
survive that,’’ said Katie’s mom,
Elizabeth Malgren. ‘‘We wanted it
more because we knew what it had
been through. An animal who had
lost half its lives at the dump
deserved to have a home.’’

from one end of Sheridan to the other.
The trail segment of concern to Anderson
and Garlow is across a flood control easement
along Little Goose Creek.
The easement was granted to the city of
Sheridan Oct. 22, 1965, according to court
documents.
Camp Great Bear’s petition for an injunction
alleges the proposed pathway, if constructed,
would diminish the privacy and
security of the RV park and increase the
park’s liability.
Attorney for the corporation is G. Albert
Sinn of Worland.

Gregerson in an answer filed to the petition
stated in part the action is premature
because no immediate plans or funds are
available for a pathway in the area, although
there are plans for such a pathway at some
time in the future.
Gregerson said Anderson and Garlow
withdrew the petition at this time in
exchange for a stipulation the city would not
break ground for a pathway until at least the
first of May.
“There is no permanent resolution,”
Gregerson said. “But the city has no plans to
build a trail now anyway. It’s wintertime.”
