Amendment A allows cities, counties, towns, school districts and other political subdivisions to invest money in stocks and equities. This is something the state has done in some capacity since the 1990s but local agencies have been unable to, due to Wyoming law. Approval of Amendment B would increase the mandatory retirement age for judges from 70 to 75. There is no mandatory retirement age for federal judges, but within individual states, the age restrictions vary.
Change on Pine Ridge Reservation donations. Alice Phelps and her husband were on their way from southwest South Dakota Friday to pick up the third load and meet our people. Last night, her husband’s brother was shot. He is in serious condition.
Today is the day to come and meet Delsa Allen and view her photographs at the Lovatt Room. Members of the Sublette County Artists’ Guild will be reading their own works or from one of the publications throughout the reception. Remember — 4 to 7 p.m.. See you there!
No matter where I am, each morning, I open my journals and pour into them myself. These are my thoughts, ideas and contemplations of opinion or beliefs, all of which arrive from unlimited sources. Mind thoughts and dreams are our own, we see them invading the monarchy of social media, but they are ours in the conception of the beginning. I have chosen to share mine. Each word, prose or paragraph of the following excerpts is born on a page within my artistic journals.
At the Planning and Zoning meeting, it was established that this highly guarded and secured center would cost upwards of $175,000 for a two or three-week stay. This is not for the public and it is not going to be within the needs or bounds of many people in Sublette County.
Upon arrival, we had to heave-ho like sailors, through doors and around corners, to get it into our daughter’s storage. Did I mention how much I thought bringing this was a bad idea? The kicker was the monstrosity never moved from that spot one inch in three years, except for the times I bumped into it with my shins, attempting to get around it to get something I was really glad we’d brought. I readily admit to cussing the saw and the saw’s owner, and oftentimes gritting my teeth.
The truth is Kainer abandoned his constituents and employees after I won the 2018 primary. The office manager at the time, Julie Bell, called me in December of 2018 stating Kainer had disappeared and she did not know what to do with the court docket as he could not be reached. Throwing a temper tantrum and not showing up for the job you were elected to do because the voters didn’t want four more years of you is a strange prelude to asking them for their vote down the road.
If you pull out and the distance to a horse trailer in your lane choice is not enough for you to get to even three-quarters of the speed limit before the distance on the highway closes, you are endangering yourself, the horses and myself.
These writers left their words and artwork for us to enjoy. Please join members of today’s Sublette County Artists’ Guild next Friday, Oct. 14, from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Lovatt Room in the Pinedale Library during Delsa Allen’s photo exhibit and reception.
They are allowing a traumatized girls’ center to be built on the Rim along the highway to Jackson. They are pretending that this is a “public facility” so that they can allow it – yet is will cost $75,000 or more to attend for a three-month stay and will be strongly guarded to keep people out. They pretend it will fill a need in Sublette County – how many traumatized young girls are there in Sublette County that could come up with that type of money anyway?
County treasurers believe the primary objective of local government investment activities is Safety. We make investment decisions to ensure the preservation of the dollars entrusted to us. We do this with the understanding that the investments will achieve a lower yield than higher-risk investments, like stocks. Current law wisely restricts local governments to low-risk, fixed-income investments like certificates of deposit, federal agency bonds and U.S. treasuries in order to ensure that your money is safe until it is put to use.
Hello Sublette County and LaBarge, this is Albert Sommers reporting to you from the interim of the 66th Legislature. On Sept. 6-7, I participated in the Joint Education Committee (JEC) meeting in Cheyenne. On Sept. 8, along with a delegation of folks from Sublette County, we met with members and staff of the State Land and Investment Board (SLIB) to discuss state grant funding for Sublette County’s new hospital project.
Members will read from past publications and from their own writings. This celebration is in conjunction with an art show of Delsa Allen’s photography.
Most fishers, local or visitors, are not that interested in the history or current philosophy surrounding recreational fishing and conservation of aquatic species. They want to visit a pristine stream or lake, absorb nature and have an opportunity to hook a game fish. I believe it would be good, particularly for locals, to have an understanding of the complexities of managing recreational fishing in conjunction with conservation and how it relates to the water they are currently fishing.
Sublette County elected commissioners Joel Bousman, Sam White and Tom Noble have opened the flood gates for out-of-state developers to rezone (A1) ultra rural migratory corridors of threatened species for individual developer financial gain against Sublette County Planning and Zoning Board recommendations and overwhelming Sublette County resident opposition. The allowance to rezone for out-of-state billionaire Joe Ricketts' Upper Hoback resort and multi-millionaire California real estate developers Jason (Smee Homes Inc/CA and Rim Realty Inc/WY) and Melinda Moyes' (Melson Realty/CA and Rim Realty Inc/WY) 40 Rod property for monetary gain is contradictory to community virtue.
In May of 2022, Kainer had no intention of running as a Republican nominee for the office of the Sublette County and Prosecuting Attorney. Although he knew there was widespread dissatisfaction with the current administration, he did not appreciate how bad things had truly become. A wide and diverse group of citizens who approached Kainer made it clear that the candidates who were on the ballot for the Republican nomination would simply maintain the status quo.
We are asked to shoulder the responsibility and allow punishment from the atrocities of our forefathers. Everyone of now should deny this. We should never forget what has transpired. In fact, this is what we should learn from.
The membership of the Artists’ Guild has always been very involved in creating countywide community events. In 1935 the club sponsored a reenactment of the Green River Rendezvous, with members writing the script and helping put on the show at the Daniel historical site. The pageant has continued on in the same tradition under the sponsorship of the Sublette County Historical Society and now the Green River Rendezvous Pageant Association.
Like everyone else who lives in this cold tundra, we plan our summers carefully. All winter as we’re notified of summer happenings, we jot it down, and one particular weekend, “shindig” was on our list. We got up early, donning shorts, hats and sunglasses, remembering money and sunscreen, and loaded our lawn chairs. It never crossed our minds to tote an extra car battery. Boy, we’re irresponsible … and dense.
I would like to encourage Dr. J.I. Bertoncelj to educate herself on the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation. I believe she will discover that without the efforts of past hunter/conservationists like John Audubon and Teddy Roosevelt, it's unlikely there would be "magnificent bull moose" to view.
