With new roof, things are looking up
some of the kids from Home On
By Jane M. Cook

Earlier this year, problems arose
for the Beach building owned by the
Stateline Ministerial Association.
Leaks proved that the roof need-
ed more than just repairs, so the
Food Pantry and Prairie West
Development, the Community
Learning & Technology Center, and
the Beach Chamber of Commerce,
which were housed in the building,
had to find temporary places until
those problems could be resolved.
Now, with a 'new roof in place,
The Range, supplying the labor in
painting the walls so that the room
will have a fresh look and feel to it
before Stateline Ministerial mem-
bers begin restocking the shelves.
"Everything else is ready to go," the
Rev. Russ Kovash said.
When they pondered putting on a
new roof, the general contractor
thought that the cost would range
between $40,000 to $50,000, which
would include labor, supplies, etc.
The actual cost came closer to
$30,000. A huge amount of grati-
things are really looking up. . .... tude must be given to the workers,
Prairie West Development, the those who donated money, such as
learning center, and the Beach
Chamber have made their move
back into the building. The south
half of the building, however,
where the food pantry is located,
was more directly affected. Thrugh
the building is sound, the problems
came about due to having a flat
roof, which is where most of the
leakage took place, along with
some concerns of mold, but both of
those problems have been
resolved.
Now, the food pantry area has
been getting a fresh coat of paint by
coffee groups and employees of
local businesses, and discounts
from some of the businesses for
helping to keep that cost down.
They are short just $15,000, and
want everyone to know that if there
is anyone who would still like to
contribute to the cost, they may con-
tact any member of the Stateline
Ministerial Association.
Once they are settled in, they are
planning to celebrate with an open
house. The Stateline Ministerial
members will post more informa-
tion on that at a later date.

Coffee shop rolled out of town
By Richard Volesky
Editor/Reporter
A small building - but neverthe-
less a landmark - was rolled out of
Beach on June 30.
Hill O'Beans Espresso &
Christian Gifts closed on Jan. 17.
An attorney for Pilot Travel Centers
previously sent Bobbi Hildebrant,
owner of the coffee shop, a letter
telling her that her lease for the site
on which her shop was located was
being cancelled.
Hildebrant said she was told the
lease was cancelled because her
shop was viewed as competition for
the nearby Pilot/Flying J travel cen-
ter. Hildebrant operated a shop at
the location, or nearby, for about 11
years.
A previous merger of Pilot and
Flying J resulted in a combined
company, which apparently had a
different or a new view of
Hildebrant's presence at the site.
Hildebrant said the possibility of
moving the shop to other nearby

• -,rtist finds her calling
(Reprinted with permission of
the News Letter Journal newspa-
per. Eileen Nistler is the wife of
Tom Nistler, and the daughter-in-
law of Marie and Don Nistler of
Golva .)
UPTON, Wyo. Weston
County's most talented person
discovered her artistic calling
around seven years ago, meaning
that it didn't really blossom until
Eileen Hagerman Nistler came
back home. She now lives
between Upton and Sundance in
the same house she was brought
home to after being born in
Newcastle.
"I left for 17 years, lived in
Albuquerque and worked as an
architect. "I've been back since
'93. I moved back to Wyoming
because I wanted, my kids to be
raised here. I liked the school sys-
tem and everything about it here,
and I missed it," she told the
News Letter Journal.
Nistler holds two degrees in
architecture and a minor in art,
and after moving back to
Wyoming she decided to join a
local art group in 2004. It was this
endeavor that helped her find her
artistic voice, so to speak.
"In Upton we have a local
group called Art Friends. Dana
Eileen Nistler
White was my art teacher in high
school and she opens the high
school art room twice a month for
us. I wouldn't be doing what I'm
doing without this gropp. They
helped me find my calling,"
Nistler said.
Nistler has an extensive portfo-
lio in colored pencil paintings and
pottery, and she has racked up a
steady list of awards for her work
each year since 2005.
"At the time I had small chil-
dren and it was easy and you did-
n't have to clean up. I hate wash-
ing out brushes. I work with a
pencil as an architect, and. I think
that's why I was able to take off
so quickly with it," Nistler said.
She quickly lists her goals,
absolutely striving hard every day
to work in her home art studio
along with a yearly goal of com-
pleting 20 pieces. She is currently
working on her 88th piece and
hopes to have a grand total of 100
completed by the end of this year.
"I'm competing at a national
level and in order to do that, you
just have to devote the time to it.
I have 12 paintings with Paint
America. I'm a signature member
of the Colored Pencil Society of
America and a master signature
member of Paint America. I was
one of the first to achieve that sta-
tus and I've won Juror's Choice
five times in a row with Paint
America," she said.
Portraits and still lifes are her
favorite subjects, and many of the
flowers she has painted are from
her mother's garden, but she dab-
bles in other areas as well, and
continues to draw inspiration and
ideas from her fellow artists.
"My mother has a beautiful
garden in .Upton. She's just
always had flowers, and they're
just stupendous, especially the
old roses," she noted. "I love por-
traits and I love still lifes, but
