(Lander, WY) – The Tinderwoods have been on quite a journey over the past few months. Lander’s Adam Kirkpatrick, Micah Wyatt, Brady Frude and Vince Tropea have logged plenty of miles, playing gigs across the state. They’ve entertained hundreds of fans at packed venues and just a handful of onlookers in some of the state’s smallest towns. Along the way, they’ve admittedly consumed more hot dogs than any group of grown men probably should. Most unexpectedly, they’ve gone viral by blending a beloved country sing-along with an early hip-hop anthem.

The band was just selected as Fremont County’s only representatives to play the Wyoming State Parks and Cultural Resources ‘Tunes On The Trail,’ event this year. What’s more, they are one of just four Wyoming bands playing the 2026 series.

You can catch their show Saturday, August 15th at the South Pass State Historical Site, where visitors will have the chance to enjoy a hike and soak in a 90-minute concert, surrounded by nature.

Hike Start Time: 4:30 p.m.
Meeting Location for Hike: Dance Hall
Hike Distance and Difficulty: 2 miles round-trip, moderate to steep terrain.
Performance Time: 5:30-7 p.m.
Performance Location: Mouth of the English Tunnel

*Accessibility options are available. Please contact South Pass City State Historic Site in advance to explore these options: (307) 332-3684.

We caught up with Adam, Micah, Brady and Vince about being selected for the event. Together they tell us more about the band, share their unique personalities and tell us why supporting live music in Wyoming is so important.

(Lander, WY) – The KOVE 1330 AM / 107.7 FM Today in the 10 interview series Coffee Time continued today with host Vince Tropea, who recently spoke with Brynn Robeson, a firefighter with Lander Rural Battalion 3 of the Fremont County Fire Protection District.

Robeson discusses a number of topics, including the ongoing need for volunteer firefighters.

Robeson, who has served with Lander Rural Fire for more than six years, says more than 80% of fire departments nationwide are staffed by volunteers, including nearly 89% in Wyoming, and that volunteer firefighter numbers have dropped by 23% over the past 15 years while fire department calls have more than doubled since 2000.

(For those interested in becoming a volunteer firefighter, Robeson encouraged residents to contact their local department. In Dubois, prospective volunteers can reach Chief Mike Franchini at 307-450-7625. Those interested in Lander City Fire can call 307-332-2209. Anyone interested in joining the Fremont County Fire Protection District, which includes all 13 rural battalions, can call 307-857-3030 and ask for Kayla or Hannah. In the Riverton area, residents can call 307-856-8248, choose option 1, and speak with Amy. Jeffrey City Fire Chief Vern Redland can be reached at 307-797-6260. Robeson also offered to answer questions directly at 307-340-1404. Additional information is available at fremontcountyfire.com or through the various departments’ Facebook pages.)

Additionally, Robeson breaks down what becoming a volunteer firefighter entails, including some of the misconceptions he hears from community members, chats about the unprecedented dry conditions we have been experiencing this fire season, and offers tips for residents on fire mitigation.

(Riverton, WY) – Riverton High School’s Tessa Kenyon joined the County 10 Podcast after returning from Washington D.C. where she attended the FCCLA National Convention.

FCCLA or Family, Career and Community Leaders of America, turned into a passion for Tessa in 8th grade. Kenyon told us that it was instructor Kelli Gard who first inspired her to join the club. What started as a simple suggestion turned into a multi-year effort that culminated with the organization’s most prestigious honor in the nation’s capital.

Kenyon was chosen as an FCCLA National Officer. Specifically, she’s National Vice President of Programs. To put the honor into a little perspective, there’s over 270,000 members in the country. Tessa was the only selection from the state. Wyoming’s last representative for a national officer position was when Wright’s Shelby Smith achieved it in 2021.

Tessa and her team pose in front of the United States CapitolKenyon knew that she was a candidate, but most don’t receive the high ranking designation. After the candidates received a letter revealing their fate, Tessa waited to open hers until she was in her hotel room surrounded by her mom, her sister and her advisor. “I literally got to ‘Dear Tessa Kenyon. Congratulations, you’ve been’ — and I couldn’t stop crying. I cried all my makeup off that I had put on that morning.”

Tessa Kenyon holds her congratulatory letter. She’ll now work to represent those 270,000+ members. Next month she flies back across the country to Virginia for an FCCLA planning meeting. She’ll go to Disney’s Imagination Campus, help plan the 2027 National Convention and much more along the way.

(Lander, WY) – Lander Valley High School’s Adelyn Anderson has already accomplished more than most athletes will in a lifetime. To name a few of those achievements, she’s a two-time Gatorade Girls Track and Field Athlete of the Year winner. A three-time state champion. She owns both school records for discuss and shot put. She has the longest shot put throw, of any female, in state history. She has multiple individual indoor track championships.

(Riverton, WY) – After a wild and successful conclusion to the Babe Ruth Baseball State Tournament in Gillette, the Riverton 14U squad earned the opportunity to continue their summertime fun.

Riverton finsihed their state run against the same Cheyenne team that had defeated them in last year’s championship game and had gotten the better of them earlier in 2026 pool-play. After playing five games in three days, neither team had many pitching options remaining. The scoreboard in the title game made that no secret. Riverton 25 Cheyenne 23. A championship and some revenge for the kids from the Rendezvous City.

Head Coach Casey Parker and his athletes now prepare to head to Meridian, Idaho July 19-22 for the Pacific Northwest Regional Tournament. They’ll play against champs from Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia and Alberta, Canada.

County 10 extended an invitation for the entire team to come join us for some interview fun. We had the chance to visit with Coach Parker as well as athletes; Garrett Parker, Zander Weliver, Tracen Barton, Collin Thompson and Braxton Blumenshine.

(Wyoming) – Stephen Tucker loves telling stories about Wyoming’s rich history. The Sheridan-based filmmaker has done everything from full blown documentaries, to capturing local weddings and shooting promotional videos for companies that hire his expertise.

One of those promotional shoots was for the Johnson County Tourism Association. Tucker’s Big Horn Films was tasked with short videos highlighting the wild west history of the Kaycee, Wyoming area. After going on a tour of the historic “Hole in the Wall” with historian Clay Gibbons of Worland, Tucker said he knew this project was going to turn into more.

“We started down this road, the more we learned, the more we were like this is just incredible history,” Tucker told us. “We interviewed many different people who have incredible history connected to these outlaws. Hearing some of theses stories, it was like, I want to learn more.”

Stephen said with all of the content they gathered, there was no possible way to boil it down to just a five minute highlight piece and respectfully tell the full story. He told the tourism group he’d still put those short videos together, but also wanted to devote his own personal time into producing a full feature film.

Today the Hole In The Wall area, southwest of Kaycee, is best known for its outlaw lore. Where notorious criminals like Butch Cassidy and the Wild Bunch would disappear into a red rock natural fortress. The remote area of red sandstone cliffs is both naturally beautiful and steeped in 1800’s history.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsgh65Qn3dc‘Hole in the Wall’ is screening at several film events in the western United States this year. Tucker recently joined County 10 to tell us more about the project, fun history he learned along the way and an opportunity to see the film this fall in Lander.

All of the information about the film can be seen here.

(Fremont County, WY)- In this County 10 Podcast episode you hear from with Tim Nichols of WRTA about the agency’s Fare Free Summer and what it means for riders across Fremont County.

The program began June 1 and, thanks to corporate sponsorships and private donations, will continue through the end of August. Nichols explains how WRTA serves the county through a fixed-route 96-mile loop running seven times daily, along with on-demand microtransit in Riverton. Riders can access WRTA by calling 856-WRTA or finding more information at gowrta.com.

The conversation also covers rising transportation costs, increased ridership during the fare-free period, and how even a small fare can be a barrier for people on fixed incomes. Nichols also addresses recent state and federal funding reductions connected to expired post-pandemic relief funds, as well as an upcoming three-quarter percent sales tax ballot measure that would support local ground transportation, air services, and ambulance services.

Nichols shares that WRTA is a government-operated public transit authority under the Fremont County Association of Government and encourages the public to ask questions, request transparency, and learn more about how the system serves Fremont County.

(Lander, WY) – The KOVE 1330 AM / 107.7 FM Today in the 10 interview series Coffee Time continued today with host Vince Tropea, who recently spoke with Hudson Mayor Sherry Oler, who stopped by to chat about the water and sewer utility rate increases that go into effect for the town starting today, July 1. The water and sewer rates will go up $5 each a month, $10 total, for Hudson residents.

Mayor Oler said the town has struggled for years with complaints about the taste and quality of its drinking water, despite the water meeting safety standards. After taking office, Mayor Oler requested a Level 1 water study through the Wyoming Water Development Commission, which was completed in 2025. The study identified why Hudson’s water treatment system is expensive to operate and recommended several potential long-term solutions, including exploring a new water source and the possibility of regionalizing water service. A Level 2 study is now underway to look at those options and provide residents with information before any long-term decisions are made.

At the same time, the town has faced serious wastewater infrastructure concerns, Mayor Oler explained, adding that Hudson narrowly avoided major failures at its sewer lift station in both 2023 and 2024, including one incident in which a pump nearly failed completely and forced the town to notify the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality. The town has since secured a free pre-engineering report, presented during a public meeting in April, which estimates that approximately $5.8 million in wastewater system improvements are needed.

With only about 277 utility customers, the cost of those projects presents a significant financial challenge, Mayor Oler said, adding that under Wyoming statute, municipal water and wastewater utilities must be self-supporting, meaning user rates must cover operating costs, maintenance, employee salaries, and future repairs in a reserve fund. Mayor Oler said demonstrating that Hudson is making progress toward financial sustainability is also critical to receiving state loans and grants, some of which are scored partly on a community’s willingness to invest in its own infrastructure.

To help meet those requirements, the Hudson Town Council approved the rate increase, and the council also approved annual increases at the same level over the next four years, a strategy Mayor Oler said is intended to gradually build the utility funds rather than implementing the much steeper increases recommended by two independent rate studies.

You can hear more about the next steps the town plans to take in the full Coffee Time interview with Mayor Oler below.

(Riverton, WY) – Riverton High School girls basketball will have an off-season coaching shake-up as Mike Bozner announced this week his decision to resign from the program.

“It’s one of the toughest things I’ve ever had to do as a coach,” Bozner told County 10 about his decision. “Walking away from a program that you love and care about is really tough. It’s been a great ride for three years, sometimes things happen, and you’ve gotta pick family or work.”

Bozner’s teams improved by a single win each of his three seasons. In the ’23-’24 season they’d tally 5 wins. The following year was 6 and in ’25-’26 they picked up 7 victories. Unfortunately they did not attain their ultimate goal of qualifying for the state tournament. The last two seasons the Lady Wolverines fell short of that goal by a single game, going 1-2 at regional tournaments in Rock Springs and Evanston.

Coach “Boz” admitted that he’s been emotional about saying goodbye to the program. “I had a squishy moment, we had our banquet and they got to see my true emotion. You try to be strong, but when it’s time to leave them, you have to put it all in perspective.”

He added that while he’ll miss coaching games, it was the practices, bus rides and team bonding moments he’ll cherish. “The summertime program, the individual work I gave each of these girls. I’ll miss a lot of things actually. I truly love this team, I love these girls, I care about them, I want their lives to be successful.”

The coaching shift this off-season will also be felt at the JV level. Jessalyn Meeks, JV Coach and Assistant Varsity Coach for the last three seasons also announced she’ll be stepping down.

Over the last few months, Mike and some other community members have gathered to discuss plans for a recreation center they’d like to see in Riverton. He discussed these plans further on the County 10 Sports Podcast (listen below) and vowed to continue to make it a priority, even from a distance.

He told us that he’ll be relocating to Missouri soon. His wife is currently undergoing a series of medical treatments and they’ll be moving closer to a facility in which those treatments are possible. The Bozner’s grandkids also live in the “Show-Me State,” and they’re eagerly awaiting the arrival of their newest this summer. Through some sadness about his decision, Boz smirked when describing the bass fishing opportunities he’ll take advantage of.

(Riverton,WY) -In this episode of the County 10 Podcast, we sit down with Megan Mosbrucker, principal of St. Margaret’s School, along with Lindsey Anderson, a St. Margaret’s parent, to talk about the upcoming “Cruising the Night Away” Dinner Dance happening March 7th, as well as a more in-depth look at the school itself.

This themed evening for the dinner dance is more than just a date night… it’s a community-powered fundraiser that supports the students and helps keep special programming, experiences, and opportunities strong. Megan and Lindsey share what attendees can expect, including dinner, auctions, games, and a dance, plus the kind of warm, small-town energy that makes these nights so memorable.

The conversation also dives into what makes St. Margaret’s unique: a small, faith-based environment, a strong focus on leadership and service, and a school culture built on a true partnership with parents. From Catholic Schools Week celebrations to service projects and student involvement, you’ll hear how this school keeps kids engaged, supported, and encouraged to grow into the kind of leaders our communities need.

You’ll also get a peek at other St. Margaret’s happenings throughout the year, including community events like bingo nights and paint parties — and why local support matters so much for fundraising efforts that directly benefit students.

Whether you have a connection to the school or just love supporting great things happening in our community, this episode is a good reminder of what can happen when a town shows up for its kids.

(Shoshoni, WY)- In this episode of the County 10 Podcast, we sit down with Shoshoni alum and songwriter/producer Keegan Thacker, who shares a passion-driven conversation about music, creativity, education, and giving back to the next generation. In this episode we find out about a fun event happening December 11th.

The heart of this conversation is Sound Lab, a hands-on music program that Keegan co-created within Shoshoni schools. The goal is simple but transformative:
to give students access to musical exploration…whether through instruments, composing, performing, or producing. They also aim to provide a creative outlet many rural students don’t often get.

On December 11th, the Sound Lab program will host a special concert featuring professional musicians as well as student performers who have been developing their skills through the program. This event serves not only as a community celebration of young talent, but also as a fundraiser to help expand the program by purchasing instruments, equipment, and materials.

Another special part of this event is the partnership with the Shoshoni High School Boys Wrestling Team, who will be preparing the dinner served at the concert. A portion of the evening’s admission proceeds will also go toward supporting the wrestling team!

Details in the poster below.

Harrison is leading the initiative to bring a Wyoming Classical Academy charter school to Riverton, which will be open to students in all of Fremont County.

The Academy is a proposed tuition-free public charter school based on the Hillsdale curriculum, and focuses on “classic books, logic, rhetoric, mathematics, science, and the fine arts, while fostering critical thinking, communication, and character development.” There is currently a Wyoming Classical Academy campus operating in Mills, and one that is set to open in Alpine in the fall of 2026.

Harrison, who runs Smart-Start Quality Child Care in Riverton and operates it under the Montessori model, explained that the goal is to open the Riverton Campus to grades K-6 to start off, then add grades each year after that. The Academy would be tuition-free, with no entrance exams or religious affiliation.

Harrison says the goal is to have a 2027/28 school year opening date, after the program application is submitted to the Wyoming Charter School Board in March of 2026.

Before that application can be submitted, Harrison said they need to have between 150-200 letters of interest. They currently already have over 80 letters. Folks can fill out the letter of interest here. (Note: the letter of interest is not a commitment.)

A parent information night will take place tomorrow night, November 18, in the Riverton Library at 6 PM. In addition to the information night and links above, you can check out the full Coffee Time interview with Harrison below for even more details!

(Fremont County, WY) – No matter the topic, Randy Tucker probably has a story about it. Especially when it comes to Wyoming’s vast history. Several of them, you can scroll through and find via his County 10 author tab.

But when the topic is too extensive for a website post, why not write a few hundred pages instead? That’s the approach Tucker took whilst researching a 124-mile stage and freight line that connected Rawlins to Fort Washakie from 1878 to 1906. Randy researched dozens stories about the trail through historic newspapers, rare photographs and family tales that have been passed down.

Randy has two book signing events coming up in Fremont County. On Tuesday, November 18th at the Riverton Museum from 6:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. and Thursday, November 20th at the Lander Pioneer Museum from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

(Laramie, WY) – This time last year, Wyoming fans were preparing to see Evan Svoboda taking snaps under center. In 2025 the 6’5 251lb senior will move to tight end for the first time ever, making way for sophomore Kaden Anderson as the top quarterback on the depth chart.

“Everything’s new. It’s all foreign to me,” Evan told County 10. “From running routes, to blocking people, to hitting people every play. It’s all been different but it’s been a really fun journey and I’m looking forward to it.”

Evan said he didn’t expect to ever play tight end, but that it’s a good fit, “I’m naturally a big, physical person so it’s been a relatively good transition.”

Svoboda’s commitment to the program was admired by many Pokes fans. In an era where the transfer portal is used regularly, the Cowboy decided to keep playing for the brown and gold after losing his spot as QB1. “I think it’s been instilled in me from a young age, definitely from my parents and my environment. I was given an opportunity to be here so I’m going to make the most of my opportunity.”

(Laramie, WY) – University of Wyoming football strong safety Andrew Johnson is no stranger to altitude. The Cheyenne-native and Central High School graduate plays at the division one campus with the highest altitude in the nation, 7,220 feet above sea level. After his final season on the gridiron, his goals go even higher.

“I’ve loved aviation since I was a kid,” Johnson told County 10 at UW Media Day Monday in Laramie. He explained that he spent much of his off-season flying around Wyoming and Montana, marveling about flying over the Tetons and Big Horn Mountains. “Now, my goal is to become a fighter pilot.” Later joking that his favorite movie is ‘Top Gun.’

While ambitions to become a fighter pilot seem lofty, Andrew has already crossed off his first major life goal. Wearing the brown and gold. “It was my dream since I was a kid. It was everything I ever wanted to do. So when Coach Bohl gave me the opportunity to do so, it was the easiest decision of my life.”

The former Central High wide receiver and defensive back appeared in 11 games for the Pokes and started 5 of them last year. He recorded 19 solo tackles and 11 assisted tackles. This season, he’s expected to be a leader on the Cowboy defense. “We’re bringing that toughness back to Wyoming football,” Johnson said about summer camp. “Something that I experienced a lot in my early years here and that’s something we need to maintain and bring into the season.”

(Laramie, WY) – “Nobody remembers us when we win, but they sure do when we give up a sack,” Wyoming senior center Jack Walsh joked with us at UW Media Day Monday.

The Cowboy has plenty of opportunities to be remembered for a very long time on the football field this year however. He was added to both the Lombardi Award Preseason Watch List, which is given to college football’s best lineman (offense or defense) and the Outland Trophy Preseason Award Watch List, which goes to college football’s best interior lineman.

Walsh is moving from right guard to center this season too, a position he hasn’t played regularly since 8th grade. But Jack’s team-first attitude makes him excited to lead the guys up front. “I wanna be a source for the young guys, someone they can look to and trust to give them good advice, that’s my main goal being an older guy, whatever someone needs help with on or off the field that’s what I’m there for.”

Walsh smiled and told us last few practices have been fun, but exhausting, “It’s been very physical. Coach Sawvel wants to see us play some football, see what guys are made of. But it’s been fun. You have to do those things to get prepared for the season.”

(Laramie, WY) – The countdown to the University of Wyoming football season continues and we were able to spend a couple minutes with the man in charge of the defense, Aaron Bohl.

Aaron enters his second year on the job, but has been with UW as a linebackers coach since 2017. He is the son of former Wyoming Head Coach, Craig Bohl.

To sum up summer/fall camp for Wyoming in a word according to Bohl, it’s been physical. “We’ve laid out a clear line this off-season what we need to be like, if you don’t wanna be in that footprint that’s okay there’s other schools for you. We wanted to make sure that the guys were here bought into that message and the guys we were bringing in would buy into that message.”

(Laramie, WY) – County 10 caught up with the guy that’s projected to be the University of Wyoming starting quarterback this season at Media Day Monday in Laramie.

Kaden Anderson started 3 contests for the Cowboys last year, but appeared in 9 games total. The sophomore threw 6 touchdowns, 3 interceptions and had a 58.3% completion percentage.

Though Anderson is a Texas-native, he’s fitting in well this year in Wyoming. “Nothing better than a summer in Wyoming,” he told County 10. “I love the outdoors, I love fly fishing, caught some really big trout this summer so I was really excited about that.”

And as quickly as he declined to answer where his favorite fishing spots were on mic, he was equally as fast to tell us he’s excited about the Pokes chances this year. “We look really good, high energy, great intensity in practice. I feel like the vibe is different than it was last year.” Expounding that the team is “eager to practice” and that “pads are poppin.'”

Wyoming Association of Broadcasters

(Laramie, WY) – Monday was Media Day at the University of Wyoming as various members of the region’s radio, tv, print and digital outlets chatted with athletes and coaches. It’s not often that the wide receiver coach gets a lot of attention at the event, but 2025 was different with the return of an all-time Cowboy great, Jovon Bouknight.

Jovon played for the Cowboys from 2002-2005 and racked up over 3,600 receiving yards, placing him as the third best UW receiver in the category (behind only Marcus Harris and Ryan Yarborough.) After graduating, the Denver native began the shift from receiver to mentor. He’s spent time coaching at Marshall, Kentucky, Oregon, Texas Tech and Utah State before returning to Laramie.

“It is a full circle moment as it all started here at the University of Wyoming,” Bouknight told reporters when he first returned. “It is great to be back in the saddle with familiar faces with our student-athletes and coaches that have so much love and passion for this program. I’m ready to hit the ground running and go back to the foundation and fundamentals.”

Coach Bouknight told County 10 at Media Day about some of his favorite memories as a UW athlete, “obviously the Vegas Bowl (2004) sticks out. I was only fortunate to win one Border War, so I think about that one from my sophomore year.”

Jovon said it’s helpful to remember his playing days to instruct this 2025 group of Cowboy receivers, especially when it comes to the eventual cold weather. “It makes us unique, the mental aspect and being mentally tough about it. Understanding that it can play into your favor in late November if you’re prepared for it.”

And the Pokes newest coach says while there’s still some improvement he’d like to see before the August 28th opener at Akron, he’s thrilled with the wide receiver room so far. “It’s been going good. I think the energy is really high, guys are flying around. A couple guys that are new are working some kinks out. For the most part we’re doing really well. The focus the next couple weeks is who’s going to step up and make plays.”

(Noise will take place in the Carnegie Room of the Lander Library, located at 200 Amoretti Street, from 12 to 8 PM, on November 4, 5, and 6.)

Noise focuses on the true meaning of freedom of speech and what that phrase actually means when given the opportunity to express oneself without the filter of societal expectations or repercussions.

Noise will feature a room made of one-way mirrors to provide the choice of anonymity, and will function as somewhat of a verbal rage-room, where folks can express what is on their minds.

Boycott stressed the importance of this form of freedom of speech during this election season, which is also why she solicited funding for the project from local elected officials and candidates running in the 2024 Election, in order for them to truly support free speech in its purest form.

Boycott describes Noise better than we ever could, which you can hear about in full detail in the Coffee Time interview below!

(Casper, WY) - For a third year in a row, the Riverton High School marching band has earned the highest award possible at the Wyoming State Marching Band contest in Casper. The Wolverine band was one of just six schools across the state to earn the designation of "superior." Band Director Andy Peeks said there was some concern on his part this year because the criteria for the top designation became a little more difficult. "It's been based on how well your kids march and how well you play," Peeks explained of the superior rating. "There was a change made this year that reduced the amount that your wind players contributed to the score so that was a little scary for me." Riverton had to wait several hours after their Saturday afternoon performance to find out how they did, adding to the tension. "Even when we walked off the court and got back to the bus, they were asking me how did it go and I'm like, I can't tell you whether we locked that in or not." Several hours later when the final results were announced, the band members erupted with joy. "They were fired up, they really were. It was a hard road for us this year. We had 25 freshmen out of the 64 total members and you never know how that's going to go."Riverton joined Douglas, Cheyenne East, Cheyenne South, Sheridan and Kelly Walsh as the only other prep bands in the state with a superior rating. "Caption Awards" were also given out for many different categories. Riverton won four of those in the 3A open division including; Music Caption, Marching Caption, Winds Caption and Guard Caption.

Bradley, which is set to be adapted into a film starring actor Cillian Murphy!)Middour shared that after doing some digging, she discovered that the building the Library currently occupies used to be the Union Hall for the UMWA.Years back, the Hudson Hudsonettes Friends of the Library went on to facilitate the donation of the building to the town of Hudson to be used as a library, so long as it also served as a memorial to Yablonski, hence the name. The building fell into disrepair of the years, and Middour has made it her mission to restore the historic Library, which folks will be able to come see at the Open House mentioned above.In addition to chatting in-depth about that history, what folks can expect from the Open House (and how they can volunteer/donate), Middour also shared about the Gold Star Park in Hudson and how her family's story ties into her efforts to spread the word about the Park and its cause.Check it all out in the full Coffee Time interview below!Be sure to tune in to Today in the 10 and Coffee Time interviews every morning from 7:00 to 9:00 AM on KOVE 1330 AM / 107.7 FM, or stream it live right here.

(Fremont County, WY) – One of the items voters will see on the ballot for tomorrow’s (August 20) Primary Election is the Senior Citizen Service Formation / Mill Levy Propositions for both Lander and Riverton.

If passed for either Lander and/or Riverton, a Senior Citizen’s Service District would be set up that the two mills would fund.

Jane Nolde, the Executive Director for the Lander Senior Center, explained to County 10 that the Senior Center mostly utilizes matching grants for local funding, and that grants are getting “smaller and smaller.”

The hope is that the mills would provide a more “permanent” source of funding for the services they provide, Nolde shared.

“We think the Senior Center is vital to the City of Lander,” Center volunteer Charlie Smith commented. “We provide a variety of services. It’s pretty extraordinary.”

Nolde and Smith went on to share what some of those services are, which range from health and wellness programs at the Center, to providing 200+ meals a day served at the Center or delivered throughout town.

They also shared that the Center provides transportation not just for senior citizens, but community members as well.

If the proposition passes, a maximum of two mills ($2 per $1,000 of assessed property value) will be imposed on taxable properties.

This means the yearly tax increase for a property assessed at $100,000 is $18 per year, (or $36 for $200,000; $54 for $300,000; $72 for $400,000; $90 for $500,000) for both in Riverton and Lander.

County Assessor Tara Berg told County 10 that each entity will have to submit a yearly budget, and “the request for county funding cannot calculate to more than two mills.”

Berg explained that “using the 2024 certified values, which for both are the school district boundaries of Lander and Riverton, the total monies could be: Riverton – $478,809 and Lander – $571,650.”

You can hear more about the mills (and all of the services the Lander Senior Center provides that the mill would help pay for if passed), in the County 10 podcast interview below with Nolde and Smith.

(Lander, WY) – The Today in the 10 Mental Health Monday segment, which is hosted by Vince Tropea and airs on KOVE 1330 AM / 107.7 FM, continued today with guest Stacy Strasser.

Strasser recently opened Harmony Mindshift here in Lander, (located at 1255 West Main Street) which offers two modalities, PSYCH-K and Bio-Tuning, that aim to “transform the mind and regulate the nervous system, enhancing a person’s health and well-being.”

In addition to using the PSYCH-K and Bio-Tuning methods, the goal of Harmony Mindshift is to identify each individual’s frequency that puts them into homeostasis regarding the autonomic nervous system, by using a gravity-free “Neuroacoustic Sound Chair” designed by NASA and software developed by Dr. Jeffrey Thompson.

While sitting in the chair, which emanates soothing sounds and vibrations, Strasser monitors the individual’s heart rate, as well as potential transitions between the sympathetic or parasympathetic nervous systems, which indicate your fight or flight/normal stress levels, and helps determine whether or not you suffer from chronic stress.

The software also determines the frequency of your cells regarding your autonomic nervous system, which, if too low, lets Strasser know there is “dis-ease” somewhere in your body and that it’s time to go see your medical provider.

I (host Vince Tropea) was able to test out out the chair prior to the interview, and while my heartrate was in the normal/healthy range and my cell frequency checked out fine, my 30 minute session proved that surprise surprise, this reporter/interviewer suffers from chronic stress.

For most of the session I was in the sympathetic (fight or flight) mode, with one brief crossover into parasympathetic, which, as Strasser put it, means my body is currently “stuck in that chronic stress,” but is capable of being receptive to the parasympathetic mode.

Strasser then explained that individuals in this chronic stress mode need to address/alleviate it in whatever way that works for them (more dog walks and hiking/fishing trips are now planned for the future for me).

My results. h/t Vince Tropea, County 10To hear more about what my results mean, Harmony Mindshift as a whole, PSYCH-K, Bio-Tuning, the importance of decreasing your stress levels, how chronic stress is affecting our youth post-COVID, and more about Strasser’s background, check out the full Mental Health Monday interview with Strasser below.

The main goal of Mental Health Monday is to start an open dialogue about a number of mental health topics, and how folks are being affected on local, state and national levels.

Guests range from psychiatrists, psychologists, school/drug/grief counselors, and any other professionals in the field, as well as testimonials from those affected by mental health issues, such as students, veterans, first responders, and many more.

(Lander, WY) – Fans/supporters of the Lander Pipe Band currently have the opportunity to help the band in multiple ways.

The band has several new youth band members and they are currently fundraising for their Youth Education Program, which began after the tragic passing of band member and pipe enthusiast Nixon David in 2021, and also led to the formation of the Nixon David Memorial Scholarship.

Additionally, the band was invited to the World Pipe Band Championships in 2025, which are held annually in Glasgow, Scotland.

They were invited to the Championships along with the Upland Pipe Band (from Upland, CA), for a combined youth band called “The Uplanders.”

To help the Lander Pipe Band make it to the Championships and to donate to their youth program, click here, or head over to the 4th of July Parade in Lander this Thursday where members will be providing QR codes.

(The Lander Pipe Band also wanted supporters to know that the $5,000 that was raised to help the band get to the Normandy, France memorial parade they were invited to was ultimately used to purchase, uniforms, instruments and lessons. “We raised $5k in four months but that was not enough to make the commitment,” Bautz told County 10. “The band is grateful for all the donations people made toward the 2025 Normandy event.”)

“We march for them.”

The MMIP (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Person) Wind River group held their now annual march on May 5, also known as “Red Day,” in Riverton City Park. The theme this year was “We march for them,” and the names above were just a few of the missing and murdered loved ones/families members whom march participants honored.

Around 250 marchers met behind the recently demolished Tonkin Stadium, and then proceeded down Main Street to Riverton City Park, all while chanting, “We march for all. No more. Rise up. Stop the violence. No more. We march for all.”

Attendees then gathered at the bandshell to hear speakers share their stories, as well as make contact with on-site resources like Victim Services, White Buffalo Recovery, the Office of Justice MMIP Unit, and many more.

Their family friend Clifford Grasshopper honored his legacy and later performed the song, which is directed at the Eagle, “because it flies the highest and is the closest to the Creator,” Returns to War explained.

The lyrics go on to ask the Eagle to “take pity on people during times of mourning and to restore us back to healing.”

“Find that healing, and most importantly, return to prayer,” Returns to War concluded.

James Sorrels, the Eastern Shoshone Liaison for the State of Wyoming, was the next to speak, and said that overall the MMIP movement is “growing” as more awareness is being raised.

Sorrels commented that “the Governor thinks very highly of the organization,” and urged attendees to “look after their loved ones” and to “make sure they get to and from where they’re going safely.”

Riverton Mayor Tim Hancock agreed with Sorrel’s sentiment, commenting, “The more that we all come together the more power we have to make a difference and help our community be better.”

Mayor Hancock stated that regardless of our differences, “we all have an important role to play,” and that he “wants to see the mission grow.”

h/t Vince Tropea, County 10h/t Vince Tropea, County 10h/t Vince Tropea, County 10h/t Vince Tropea, County 10Following the Mayor, Cassandra Iron Cloud acted as the MC for a series of songs performed by Northern Arapaho Eagle Drum, with dancers comprised of community members and local youth. (Members of the Wyoming Indian High School Traditional Club were set to dance as well but there was a scheduling issue and only a few were in attendance.)

“Many of us get our strength from our songs and especially from our Eagle Drum,” Iron Cloud shared before introducing the opening song.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vK3SdnMJR-sNext up was the inter-tribal song, which showcased multiple styles including fancy/traditional, and had many youth participants.

“We have many little dancers that I’m very glad to see because these dancers, these young people, that’s our future,” Iron Cloud stated.

The performances concluded with a healing song and a jingle dress dance, which Iron Cloud shared has its origins in a story about a Grandfather who was dealing with a sick Granddaughter.

Iron Cloud explained that the Grandfather later had a dream where he was shown how to fashion that specific style of jingle dress, and he was instructed to have his Granddaughter and three of her friends dance while wearing the dresses as a part of the healing process.

“It’s a way of healing,” Iron Cloud shared.

h/t Vince Tropea, County 10h/t Vince Tropea, County 10h/t Vince Tropea, County 10h/t Vince Tropea, County 10h/t Vince Tropea, County 10Nicole Wagon, MMIP Wind River Chairperson, march co-coordinator and driving force behind the MMIP movement in the state of Wyoming/nationwide, was the next to speak.

“We march for all. I’m grateful for everyone being here standing with us, marching with us to make this community safe again,” Wagon began.

“We march for men, we march for women, we march for our two-spirited. MMIP Wind River is for the Wind River Reservation. It includes the Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone Tribes. It includes everybody. It affects us all,” Wagon continued.

“I’ve been committed to this movement since 2019 since I lost my daughter Jocelyn Watt,” Wagon then shared about her daughter who was tragically murdered in Riverton.

Additionally, Nicole’s other daughter Jade Wagon went missing not long after, in what is still an active case. (You can hear more of Wagon’s story/mission in a KOVE Coffee Time interview that was conducted before the march.)

“I try to empower all Tribes, all Indigenous, to create your own state MMIP task forces, create your own groups, make it what you would like. If you don’t like something in your state, change it. Change it with a bill, stand up at your state, city and Tribal levels,” Wagon implored to the crowd after thanking Governor Gordon for calling her to sign the proclamation for the state of Wyoming to recognize May 5 as Red Day.

“All your voices count and matter. What bleeds on the Wind River Indian Reservation affects our cities, what happens in the cities, it bleeds into Wind River. We need to come together to stop the violence.”

Wagon concluded by presenting quilts made by Betty Matthews to various march participants.

h/t Vince Tropea, County 10h/t Vince Tropea, County 10h/t Vince Tropea, County 10Charlene “Charli” Sleeper, founder the MMIP Billings chapter, was the next speaker, and as she took the stage the wind noticeably picked up.

She noted the wind “always moves” her, because she said that’s one of her “messengers that good things are to come.”

Despite this good omen, Sleeper asserted that “we are far from done” with this “heartbreaking work.”

Sleeper learned about our area while conducting field work for MMIP research, and stated she always tries to honor/learn about the “people, spirits, and culture of indigenous people” when she goes to new areas.

Sleeper visited Bull Lake and learned about the water buffalo, the Wind River Trading Company and learned about local history, and later paid respects at the grave of Sacagawea and her family before driving “the many roads in all four directions” to get an idea of the layout of Wind River.

“The Wind River Indian Reservation is nothing like what has been portrayed in the media. It’s a beautiful land with a vibrant people, culture and history,” Sleeper commented.

Sleeper explained that she met Wagon during the 2023 US Non-Invisible Act Commission hearing in Billings, and that they have become friends/MMIP partners ever since.

“Nicole’s work has created significant change in not only Indian country but for all of America. This is work no parent should have to do,” Sleeper added while fighting away tears.

“The harrowing work Nicole has had to do to find justice for her daughters should have never been a burden on her, or any parent,” Sleeper continued before stating that Wagon’s work “stands as testament to the US Government’s failure to honor the treaties to provide adequate policing in Indian Country.”

“It’s an indictment on every single president, both Republican and Democrat,” Sleeper went on to say before adding that Wagon’s story is one of many, partially in reference to Hanna Harris and mother Melinda, who continues to fight for justice after Hanna was murdered back in 2013 in Montana, and whose May 5 birthday serves as the reason why that day was chosen for Red Day.

“This is not the burden a mother should carry.”

Sleeper then urged folks who have a missing or murdered family member to immediately start a document to keep track of all resources and interactions made during this process, for “accountability and for reference,” because “things get chaotic during this process.”

“People will lie to cover up these investigations,” Sleeper explained, and requested that people with information that might help these investigations go to the recent FBI Community listening sessions that have been taking place here in Fremont County.

Mary Brown was the next to speak, and reiterated how difficult and harrowing it is to deal with the after-effects of when a family member has been murdered or gone missing, especially when they know the perpetrators still walk free.

“They’re still walking. They have never spent a day in jail, never been arrested,” Brown stated. “But we know who they are.”

Brown commented that “justice needs to be served to those responsible” so that it can be more of a “deterrent,” and then shared her plans to put pictures of missing and murdered loved ones on her property’s fence to raise more awareness.

The uncle of Ivan Pine Jr., a local youth who tragically passed away a few months ago, also addressed the crowd, and reminded folks to show compassion to those on the street whom we might be quick to judge.

“You see that person walking, that guy has no car there. Stop. Ask them if they need a ride somewhere. You could be saving their life. Even if it’s just a block over. Something could happen in a block, you never know.”

Jolene Makeshine and D’Artagnan Deeds from the missing and murdered unit were the next to speak, and stated that they can be used as a resource to provide information on MMIP cases.

Sleeper had explained in her address that the testimony she and Nicole gave at NIAC (Non-Invisible Act Committee) directly led to the formation of this unit. “With them being here that has given us hope,” Sleeper had commented. “Please reach out to them.”

Cass Burson was the next scheduled speaker, but she had to ask Eastern Shoshone Indian Days Queen Julia Tillman to read a letter on her behalf due to the fact that her words were in honor of her father Warren Jorgenson, whom she tragically lost to murder just about a month ago.

“I refuse to accept this way of life as normal,” Burson said in her letter after describing what life is like in the wake of a tragic loss, but advised that “just as they say trauma is passed on to the next generation, so is ancestral wisdom.”

“This ancestral wisdom is suppressed by colonization,” Burson commented in the letter before stating that said “colonization and the capitalization of Indigenous lands” only further proves the importance of “healing the land” and “reconnecting with Mother Earth.”

Carol Harper followed the reading of Burson’s letter, and shared that as a survivor of domestic abuse, her part in the MMIP movement is a “proactive one” that focuses on prevention.

Harper, the mother of two US Marines, stated that “Life is a battlefield, and a lot of us are on the front lines of that.”

She urged attendees to “look at the network of love and support without judgement,” and later concluded by also asking folks to attend the local MMIP task force meetings.

Members of the Redrum Motorcycle Club, whose motto is “Spreading positivity on 2 wheels,” then shared their mission and why they ride for the MMIP movement.

“We wanted to start this motorcycle club out here on the Wind River Reservation, because we care about our community,” Club president Norman shared, and added that the group “stands on the foundation of brotherhood,” “Native principals,” and “positive and righteous behavior.”

Norman went on to say that the Club is “modeled after the original 5 nations of the Iroquois, who once fought each other but later came together to promote peace and unity.”

“The MMIP movement is building. We have to get out there and let their voices be heard. Bring awareness to it. That’s what we’re about,” Norman concluded before sharing that they would take a ride around the reservation after the ceremony to help in that regard.

Wagon then brought out Riverton Police Department Chief Eric Hurtado, who commented that the MMIP movement has always been one of importance to him, because it was also an issue in Alaska where he policed before joining RPD.

Chief Hurtado also echoed how important it is for folks, especially Native youth, to travel with friends and to always let someone know where they’re going and when they get there safely.

To help bring more awareness to the MMIP cause, Cief Hurtado then confirmed that Riverton will fly the MMIP flags on Main Street, by as early as next year.

“Nicole, we will have those flags next year,” Chief Hurtado promised with emphasis on the word “will,” to many cheers from the crowd.

Find that strength, you are not alone,” Wagon then stated before sharing that the case for her daughter Jade Wagon is no longer cold and is officially open, giving additional hope to those in similar situations.

“I will get justice for my daughter Jade. I will,” Wagon concluded before bringing out the Eagle Drum to close out the ceremony with a prayer song.

In the days following the march, Wagon also stopped by KOVE’s Coffee Time along with Sunny Goggles from White Buffalo Recovery, for a march follow-up and to give thanks to everyone who helped.

After meeting with other community partners to identify needs in our area and realizing the only current option for temporary shelter is the warming huts, Wilson decided that something needed to be done about procuring a location to provide shelter for those in need. Wilson recently bid on a 2578 square foot house located on the 100 block of Lincoln Street, which he says can house up to eight people who are "homeless or housing insecure in our community," and hopes that the home will be a hub of resources for those in need.(You can donate directly to the cause on Wilson's GoFundMe page.)Wilson said he wants to name the house 'St. Francis House,' stating, "He's one of my favorite figures in history who really gave up everything he had to serve the poor and vulnerable people in his community."Wilson clarified that despite the name, the St. Francis House won't have a religious association, but is just in honor of "his outpouring of love to everybody from every religious tradition or denomination.""This is about providing people a roof over their head so they can focus on finding work, medical care, psychiatric care, social services, or whatever other kind of support they need to get back on their feet and secure more permanent housing," Wilson also explains on the GoFundMe page.

(Lander, WY) – The KOVE 1330 AM / 107.7 FM Today in the 10 interview series Coffee Time continued today with host Vince Tropea, who recently spoke with Margie Rowel, one of the organizers for this year's Wreaths Across America Lander ceremony.Check out the full Coffee Time interview with Rowel as well as the most recent press release below for even more information about the event!“We are thrilled to include Brigadier General E. Steven Alkire in the Wreaths Across America ceremony on December 16 at Lander’s Mount Hope Cemetery. It is an incredible honor that General Alkire has chosen to attend our ceremony,” explained Ella Riggs. Directly following the ceremony, volunteers will spread throughout the cemetery and place a wreath on the headstones of all our heroes. This simple act of reverence ensures that those who protected our freedoms are remembered. Lander’s Wreaths Across America is a home-grown tradition started in 2018 by Lander Valley High School graduate Taylor Romans. “Taylor’s hard work inspired us to keep this tradition alive. Every year we have more volunteers, wreath sponsors, and community interest,” explained Tara Berg. “It’s becoming a well-loved tradition.” Joining us in our ceremony this year will be Brigadier General Alkire, Assistant to The Adjutant General of the Wyoming National Guard, the American Legion Post 33 Honor Guard and members of the Wind River Composite Civil Air Patrol. Having served for 37 years and currently serving on the governor-appointed Wyoming Veterans Commission and as the Adjutant for Don Stough Post 33, Ken Persson explains the uniqueness of this ceremony, “We spend a lot of time appreciating our veterans while they are serving and active in our communities. But this is a different way of honoring and remembering our veterans. Just like on Veterans Day, Lander is joined in the nationwide wave of commemoration that begins in Arlington Cemetery and runs across our country in over 4,000 communities.” As Margie Rowel explains, “Veterans are the heart of our country. The sacrifices they and their families make cannot be measured. Wreaths Across America is one way that we can take time to appreciate these heroes and their sacrifices. I am honored to build upon Taylor’s work.” In 1992 Wreaths Across America began as a simple gesture of gratitude when a Maine wreath company found a way to deliver extra inventory to Arlington National Cemetery and a cadre of Maine military families placed the wreaths. The mission is simple: Remember our fallen U.S. veterans. Honor those who serve. Teach your children the value of freedom. To honor our veterans, please attend the ceremony on December 16 at 10 a.m. and lay wreaths. Also, consider sponsoring wreaths. One wreath is $17; four wreaths are $60; ten wreaths are $150. Sponsoring a wreath is easy: Go to www.WreathsAcrossAmerica.orgChoose: Sponsor a Specific CemeteryType: WYMHCLChoose: Mount Hope Cemetery Lander, WYOr, make a check payable to Wreaths of America and mail the check to Tara Berg at 6763Highway 789, Lander, WY 820520.For up-to-date information, visit Facebook Wreaths Across America - Mount Hope Cemetery Lander, Wyoming.Be sure to tune in to Today in the 10 and Coffee Time interviews every morning from 7:00 to 9:00 AM on KOVE 1330 AM / 107.7 FM, or stream it live right here.

Bowl staff members joked a number of times at the pre-game pep rally that they were prepared with, "lots and lots of beer" for the UW fan base.

While he may be reserved, he is an exceptionally kind and considerate brother. Their shared love for outdoor adventures serves to deepen their connection, and witnessing their presence together in the great outdoors is a remarkable experience.One of the most heartwarming aspects of the Even family's story is the incredible support they have received from their community. This podcast underscores the power of community, showcasing how neighbors, friends, and well-wishers have rallied behind the family in their times of need.Don't forget to share this with your friends and family! While our spotlight shines on Adlyn, her family's stories and experiences deliver a poignant reminder of the unbreakable ties that bind families and the heartwarming embrace of a tight-knit community.

(Fremont County, WY)- It's an exhilarating time for Fremont County, and I'm thrilled to share some fantastic news. First and foremost, a hearty congratulations to RadCast Outdoors Podcast, a podcast out of Fremont County, now featured on Carbon TV. Check it out here. It's a significant milestone, and having our local voices reach a broader audience on such a respected platform is truly commendable.Switching gears, let's dive into a remarkable story from the world of fishing. Patrick Edwards, a name synonymous with outdoorsmanship in Wyoming and the host of RadCast Outdoors, has made waves – quite literally – in the angling community. Patrick's recent fishing expedition on the Wind River was anything but ordinary. In what can only be described as a jaw-dropping feat, he reeled in a white sucker fish that tipped the scales at an astonishing 6 pounds, 8.4 ounces. This isn't just any catch; it's a catch that broke Wyoming's state record - a record previously held by Patrick himself! But that's not all. In an astounding twist, his catch has tied a nearly four-decade-old world record, a fact that Patrick was unaware of at the time and we find out how long the process is for this award.What makes this achievement even more special is the nature of the fish itself. The white sucker isn't typically a target for most anglers, but Patrick's philosophy of "equal fishing opportunities" led him to this remarkable discovery. It's a testament to his belief that every fish, regardless of its conventional appeal, deserves attention and can bring surprise and excitement to the fishing experience.This tale is not just about a record-breaking fish; it's about passion, perseverance, and the unexpected joys of fishing. It's a story that Patrick Edwards and the RadCast Outdoors team embody and share with their audience, both through their podcast and now, impressively, on Carbon TV.So, tune in, be inspired, and who knows? Maybe you'll be encouraged to cast your line in uncharted waters, just like Patrick did.

Cue my saving grace: Rene Schell with Wyoming Game and Fish.

Archery season and fall fishing are incredible times to be out and about, but they also heighten the chances of bear encounters. You see, as the temperature dips, these magnificent creatures gear up for hibernation, which can make them a bit more… let's say, unpredictable. Rene sheds light on the nitty-gritty of bear behavior during this time.

But let's get back to my bear spray dilemma – turns out I'm not the only one who's been a bit clueless about this. Rene's tips on bear spray usage are worth the reminder and listen. From how to properly store and carry it, to the right way of holding and spraying the darn thing, she covers it all. And, my fellow adventurers, bear spray isn't just some accessory to dangle on your belt like a shiny trinket; it's a powerful tool that can keep us safe and respect the wild animals we so admire. So, if you're anything like me and need a crash course in bear safety, dive into the wealth of information Rene and the Wyoming Game and Fish Department offer at wgfd.wyo.gov.

(Riverton, WY) - Fremont County Fair 2023 is in the review mirror but amidst the anticipation and preparations with the fair a certain young participant named Devyn found herself facing an unexpected turn of events. Devyn was not able to sell her pig "Little Chunkers" this year. This would have been the pinnacle of her dedicated efforts that she has put in with her pig. The situation has led her to seek a helping hand in a venture that embodies the culmination of her hard work and dedication. I actually met Devyn before fair and she was especially excited to show off her prize pig. Can we help this young lady out?

In this interview I ask Devyn a bit more about herself, she is 12 years old going into 7th grade. We find out about her love of animals and find out about this delicious pig that needs a freezer home! This young lady needs our help. Devyn gives us the dirty on the pigs, they are actually really sweet animals, that she works hard with and enjoys spending time with.

Another part of showing and selling your animal at the fair is the "add-ons" which are just small donations people give to help out the kids. If you would like to make a donation or potentially buy Lil' Chunkers then call or text 307-851-1485 which is Cathy Fillin, Devyn's mother. Generous donations have become the cornerstone of uplifting 4-H kids like Devyn, enabling them to transform setbacks into success stories. Through community support, these donations pave the way for brighter futures, empowering young hearts and ambitions to flourish. Again that number to talk to Cathy or inquire about buying the pig to help Devyn is 307-851-1485.

(Lander, WY) - A familiar face of the Lander community returned to Lander Valley High School (LVHS) to provide a two-day camp for young athletes. Bryan Beaver St. Clair, who was part of the Lander Valley Tigers 2019 state championship team and also a part of the College of Idaho's recent championship, hosted the camp.

"Ffirst getting that experience is crazy. It was a crazy experience. It's something only a certain amount of people feel and never feel something like that," St. Clair said. "Being able to have that knowledge of being able to get to that kind of scenario, getting to winning a championship is exactly why I want to come here and spread to these kids."

St. Clair has always appreciated community support and how they show it with former athletes of LVHS.

"The community is very supportive. We have kids from all around like, like Johnny Kulow, who's over at ASU doing crazy things for them. We have, you know, Maddie Chance over at the University of Wyoming for the soccer team over there doing great things," he said.

"So I'm very happy that I'm back; there's a lot of kids here showing up and supporting me as I put this camp on. I think that's a great thing."

At the camp, participants went through many drills to hone their skills.

"We would introduce everything and for like today for high school and stuff. We do a little more complex things than we do middle school. But it was basically the same thing. We warmed up, then we did ball handling, we did some finishing drills, working on moves and everything, then shooting, and then defense and kind of passing like a little bit of everything."

At the end of the camp, a message was shared about consistency.

"The advice I gave was, you know, stay consistent. If you want to get good at anything: school, basketball, swimming, with golf, whatever sport you're doing, you got to be consistent with it. You got to do it every day. You got to do something for it, you know."

He added some advice from his cousin, who is a college player also, about work ethic.

"My cousin Jaden Jane Ferris, who's playing at Rocky Mountain, she gave pretty good advice saying work ethic that goes hand in hand with consistency."

(Lander, WY) – The KOVE 1330 AM / 107.7 FM Today in the 10 interview series Coffee Time continued today with host Vince Tropea, who recently spoke with organizers and speakers for the “Be a Refuge: Responding to Abuse and Trauma" free seminar, happening tomorrow morning at 8:30 AM at the Covenant Presbyterian church, located at 875 Fremont Street.

Kelly Dehnert, assistant pastor at the Covenant Presbyterian Church organized the seminar, which will feature speakers Rachael Denhollander and Darby Strickland.

(You can register for the free seminar here.)

Denhollander was the first woman to publicly accuse Larry Nassar of sexual assault in 2015, when the later convicted child molester and rapist was still working as the U.S gymnastics team doctor, a role he held for 18 years, all while accruing over 200 victims.

Herself a victim of the disgraced Nassar, Denhollander went on to become a lawyer and advocate for abuse and trauma survivors after his conviction, was named one of the world’s 100 most influential people by Time Magazine, and received Sports Illustrated’s "Inspiration of the Year Award."

Strickland is a well known lecturer and counselor for CCEF, is on faculty at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia, and has been featured as a speaker for abuse and trauma seminars around the world.

Denhollander and Strickland will discuss making church a safe place for survivors of abuse at the seminar, in addition to discussing their books (Denhollander's “What Is a Girl Worth?,” "What Is a Little Girl Worth?," and "What Is a Little Boy Worth?" can be found here, and Strickland's “Is It Abuse?: A Biblical Guide to Identifying Domestic Abuse and Helping Victims” can be found here).

In addition to providing some details about the seminar, Denhollander and Strickland discuss who the seminar is for, the importance of abuse and trauma survivors to have their voices heard in a safe and non-judgemental space, the role of the church in providing those spaces, and how communities can get behind the cause.

Check out the full Coffee Time interview below with Denhollander, Strickland, Dehnert, and the LOR Foundation's Ami Vincent, one of the groups who helped facilitate the seminar.

(Lander, WY) – The KOVE 1330 AM / 107.7 FM Today in the 10 interview series Coffee Time continued today with host Vince Tropea, who recently spoke with Renee Schell and Brian DeBolt from Wyoming Game and Fish.

Schell is the Information and Education Specialist, while DeBolt is the Large Carnivore Conflict Coordinator.

Both stopped by to discuss the recent black bear sightings in the Lander area, the ensuing investigation into those sightings, and some tips and reminders for folks who want to avoid unwanted bear encounters.

(You can view footage of one of the bear sightings here.)

According to DeBolt, there were a few sightings reported before the one on July 13, but at the time those were just sightings, and not "nuisance or conflict behavior."

Those reports were also spread so geographically far that there wasn't any indication of it being the same bear.

Upon receiving the July 13 report, DeBolt then went door to door in the area and learned that there were multiple (approximately 30) unreported moments of such behavior that led to many "food rewards" for the bear.

It was then later discovered that it was indeed the same bear looking for those food rewards in that geographic spread.

Unfortunately, when bears and other large animals develop these behaviors for food rewards, relocation becomes more difficult, DeBolt explained, and in this case the bear was indeed euthanized.

"As rare as it is for black bears to become aggressive toward people, it was this exact bear behavior that he was exhibiting that the next step is injuring or killing somebody," he later added. "We don't want it to get that point."

DeBolt went on to say that while it is totally understandable for citizens to not want to report bear sightings for fear of a fatal outcome for the animal, not reporting early can lead to more aggressive behavior when the those food rewards become more difficult for the bear.

Schell added that the more a bear has to work for its food, the less likely it is to return to that food source, and she also stressed that reporting bear and other large animal sightings immediately gives Game and Fish "the most management flexibility," namely, successful relocation.

"Game and Fish wants all wild bears to live out their life as wild bears," Schell said.

Preventing bear presence in the first place is also another way of mitigating these types of extreme outcomes, Schell and DeBolt went on to explain, and there are a number of ways residents can help in that regard.

Below are some examples of proper storage techniques for trash and any potential local honey producers, such as enclosed bins and electric fences.

Schell also reminded folks that there is an animal feeding ban ordinance within city limits, which includes the intentional and unintentional feeding of wildlife (other than birds), and proper feeding/storing techniques can help prevent larger animals from becoming "food conditioned."

"We're not out to chastise, punish or publicly humiliate somebody that just accidently got into their stuff," DeBolt added. "Our intent is to prevent the bear from getting food rewards and becoming food conditioned (and to) keep people safe."

(Lander, WY) - The Lander Valley High School Lady Tigers basketball program has welcomed Drew Powell, who was named the team's head coach in May. He becomes the third head coach in three seasons for the Lady Tigers.

"I'm looking forward to the challenge!" he said.

Powell has been a part of Lander basketball, just not on the girl's side. He has spent the last four seasons as a part of Stu Mullins's staff for the boy's program, including two years coaching the freshman team and two seasons as the junior varsity coach.

"I got introduced that way to coaching, but he drug me along to it, but I have found how much I enjoy it and want to continue to do it," he said.

Powell is taking many things he learned over the last four years and bringing them over to the girl's program.

"He (Stu) was a great leader and showed me that through the four years I have been there and the style of the game and how much it can change from year to year and prepare for all of that," Powell said.

He already has connections built with some of the players.

"I have pretty good relationships with the girls, but it comes down to building those relationships with the girls," Powell said.

He does have things already going in the offseason, including a camp in Green River where they did play some teams.

(Lander, WY) - A 15-year-old Lander resident was reportedly struck by a vehicle while riding his bike between the hours of 4:00 and 5:00 PM on Wednesday, June 21, according to statements made by the boy's mother Tasha Hoffman, as well as information in the ensuing Lander Police Department (LPD) report.

Tasha told County 10 that he was riding his bike on Dabich Avenue while on his way to his Uncle's residence, when a vehicle approached from behind and hit his back tire.

"It threw him to the curb," Tasha went on to say, which caused minor injuries to his knee and elbow, as well as a sore back. She also added that the chain "popped off of his bike" and the handlebars "were pretty bent out of shape."

The boy was unable to get a positive look at the make and model of the car or a license plate number, so no suspects are known at this time, according to the LPD report.

"It sickens me," Tasha commented. "As a mom, you don't expect your kid to be hit like that. Just knowing that a person didn't even have the heart to stop and check on a kid when (they) obviously know (they) hit something. It's just wrong on every level."

LPD was unavailable for comment at the time of publishing, but the following words from a recent KOVE Coffee Time interview with Chief Peters are a good reminder for motorists to keep an eye out for cyclists of all ages as we continue on into summer vacation months.

(Lander, WY) – KOVE 1330 AM / 107.7 FM’s Coffee Time host Vince Tropea recently got to chat with Connie O’Donahue and Joseph Fountain, the writers and creators of “Seattle CRU,” a tv pilot screenplay they wrote that will have live readings tonight at the Lander Art Center, and tomorrow at the Riverton Branch Library, beginning at 6:30 PM both nights.

“Set in the high-stakes, high-octane world of crisis intervention, Seattle CRU follows a team of elite specialist officers working for the Seattle Police Department’s Crisis Response Unit, answering mental-health emergency calls,” the show description reads.

Inspired by actual events from Fountain’s life as a former Seattle Detective Sergeant, the pilot script, titled “Hurricanes & Honeybees,” will be read by local actors with the Communal Pancake Performing Arts group.

Table reads like these are conducted for pilot scripts so the writers can see how the written word plays out in performance, and then potentially make more edits to the script (which O’Donahue and Fountain pointed out won’t happen during the current writer’s strike)

(Tickets are general admission with pricing options accessible for all – a portion of ticket sales will be going to a mental health organization. Seating is limited in both spaces, so get your tickets online now.)

(Lander, WY) – Mental Health Monday, the weekly segment on KOVE 1330 AM / 107.7 FM’s Coffee Time hosted by Vince Tropea, returned today with guests Michael Tanner, the Executive Director for the newly formed Lander Community Veterans Resource Center, and Lorie Tanner, an administrative assistant and organizer for the group.

Tanner, an Air Force Veteran who also serves as the local and district Chaplain for the American Legion, formed the Lander Community Veterans Resource Center after suffering a massive, debilitating stroke a few years ago.

Despite overwhelming support from the community, Tanner saw firsthand the need for resources and access to information when he was evicted from his residence following the stroke, and knew that he didn’t want other Veterans to end up in the same predicament.

Following strides in his (still ongoing) recovery, Tanner then got the ball rolling on forming the Lander Community Veterans Resource Center.

The main goal of the Center would be to serve as a central location dedicated to hosting a wide range of programs and services provided by organizations and government agencies, for the purpose of improving the health, welfare, well being and quality of life for veterans, military members, and their families and caregivers in the Lander community and surrounding area.

The Lander Veterans Center would establish, maintain and operate a drug and alcohol free venue which would provide our military Veteran community with access to free, onsite activities, resources, programs and services offered by the Center, or through collaborative partnerships with federal, state and local agencies and organizations.

The Center will eventually provide access to an office and dedicated, secure storage space to its community and agency partners, provide information and assistance in making appointments or referrals to the appropriate federal, state or local agency and/or other established community organization which is best able to address the individual situation and needs of non-Veteran members of the community.

To learn more about Lander Community Veterans Resource Center, which will be recognized at the National Museum of Military Vehicles free Veterans Service Fair on May 27, check out the full Mental Health Monday interview with the Tanners below.

The main goal of Mental Health Monday is to start an open dialogue about a number of mental health topics, and how folks are being affected on local, state and national levels.

Guests range from psychiatrists, psychologists, school/drug/grief counselors, and any other professionals in the field, as well as testimonials from those affected by mental health issues, such as students, veterans, first responders, and many more.

(Riverton, WY) – Mark Lenhardt is poised to take over the Riverton High School football program this year. The Wolverines are seeking their first winning season since 2015, and their first playoff appearance since 2020.

Background

At just 41-years-old, Lenhardt has an extensive background coaching at both Torrington High School and Rock Springs High School. In 2021, he led RSHS to a championship game appearance, where ultimately they fell short to Sheridan.

Lenhardt played college football at Mesa State from 2000-2002. After his playing time, he took on a student assistant job at Mesa, helping them become the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference champions.

Lenhardt spent more time in the college ranks, helping coach certain positions at Carroll College. Carroll went to national championships in 04, 05, and 07. “Where I learned how to run a football program came from there,” Lenhardt said. “I was fortunate to be apart of three national championships and four conference championships at the NAIA.”

After his time at Carroll, Mark would head to North Dakota at the University of Mary. He would spend two seasons with the program before moving closer to his Wyoming home.

Mark entered the the high school coaching ranks in 2011 becoming an assistant coach for the Torrington Trailblazers. Mark helped lead the team to six playoff appearances for eight seasons, including runners-up in two straight seasons in 2018 and 2019. “The program was struggling to get wins and in the last five seasons, we would go 41-10,” Lenhardt said. “We were pretty proud of what we accomplished in Torrington!”

The New Chapter

Following his time in Torrington, Lenhardt would move to Rock Springs for four seasons and now comes to Riverton.

Lenhardt moved to Riverton as a way to get close to family but in addition, Mark has always enjoyed the area. “From my time I was in Torrington and play Riverton, I have always truffley marveled that I saw as the athletes that live here. Every time we played them it kept me up at night,” Lenhardt reflect when playing against Riverton.

He likes how the community is itching for more athletic success. “I like what Baeu Sheets has done with the basketball team, and the community seems to be hungry for success.”

Lenhardt added that “a strong central administration is vital. When you get the support you need, and you feel a community wants to have success and build a perfect storm. I wanted to make sure those pieces were in place that I saw.” Lenhardt added on why he choose the Wolverines.

Football

Mark is excited to get the program going. This summer he has the team scheduled for camps including the Black Hills State football camp in South Dakota later in the summer. Lenhart will also be doing summer workouts including weight lifting. “Lifting will be a 365-a-day year job, we are lucking to have Ross Anderson and a great administration who had provided those weight lifting programs!”

In addition this first year Mark is going to be active in both the offense and defense. “This first year here, I’m going to be heavily involved with the defense even though that is not ideal,” Lenhard said about how he will approach his first year calling for the cardinal red and black. “I want the staff to be on the same page and I want to train a defensive coordinator. For the varsity games, I want the guys to be next to me and use it as an on-the-job training opportunity to learn.”

Lenhart adds that this is a fresh start for everybody and wants to use this first year as a way to see where everyone clicks and what the best roles are for everyone.

You can listen to the full interview here!

The football season will start in August with County 10 having coverage of Wolverine football!

(Lander, WY)- Dave Lipson has been involved with weather for over 30 years and has been in Fremont County for the majority of it. He took his annual trip with the Forest Service up into the mountains to measure what the snow pack level is and find the snowpack's snow water equivalent. This helps determine what water levels may rise to and this information is connected to the water levels in the Lander area and beyond. Dave gives us detailed information in the audio below on how they went about this experiment, the findings and what it all means. I think everyone can agree that this winter was brutal but was it more or less than past years with snow pack and the snow water equivalent? You may be surprised with Dave's findings. They make sure to go around the same time every year, the first week of May to make the data the most accurate for comparison. Dave joins Bill Lee and crews with the Forest Service to venture to a high elevation where they are looking for a flat surface that would provide the best most accurate measurement. Dave explains how it all happens and the importance this information plays in water levels and flood issues for the area. Dave has a list how this years snow pack with the snow water equivalent compares to years past. 2023 51 inches with 18.32 inches of snow water equivalent 2022 32.5 inches of snow 10.79 inches of SWE 2020 17 inches no snow water equivalent but most likely less then 8 inches of SWE2019 33.5 inch snow depth 12.08 inches of SWE 2018 16 inches of snow with 6.96 inches of SWE 2017 68 inches with 33 inches of SWE 2017... compared to this year had more snow pack almost a week later than this year a week earlier. With almost double the amount of Snow Water Equivalent!

(Lander, WY) – Another great episode of The Lander Biz Show with our guests Jeremey and James with the Wyoming Life Resource Center. Do you ever drive by and wonder what is that big facility as you come in or out of Lander? They went through a big remodel and added some new buildings and areas to the campus. Wait until you hear not only about the additions but the ideas they have for the future with some sustainability coming into play.

The difficult nature of this job could seem to some as daunting but with Jeremy leading the crew and James and his longevity, the environment they encourage is that of a positive, independent and encouraging atmosphere. You can find Wyoming Life Resource Center on Facebook.

(Lander, WY) – In conjunction with the many Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples (MMIP) events this week leading up to the National MMIP Day on May 5 and the MMIP March for Justice in Riverton on Saturday, May 6, KOVE 1330 AM / 107.7 FM’s Coffee Time host Vince Tropea recently spoke with MMIP Wind River coordinator Nicole Wagon.

Wagon tragically lost two of her daughters, Jocelyn Watt and Jade Wagon, both of whom are profiled in the locally made documentary “Who She Is,” and she has since made it her mission to not only bring awareness to the MMIP cause, but to also make sure people know the names of the people who often become anonymous statistics.

(Click here to learn more about the documentary and recent virtual screening from Director Sophie Barksdale on Monday’s episode of Coffee Time. Click here to access the link for the Riverton Peace Mission webinar that will be available Thursday.)

Wagon discusses the aftermath of the tragedy, her subsequent involvement in the state MMIP Task Force, and what folks need to know going into the Saturday march.

As weather services are calling for above normal temperatures going into May, leading to increased melt and high running water, Mayor Richardson shared the following Fremont County Emergency Management Agency (FCEME; 307-856-2374) sandbag information.

Sandbags will be available during normal business hours at the Fremont County Road and Bridge shops located at 4430 Airport Road in Riverton (7am-3:30pm; 307-856-8122) and 1580 U.S. Hwy. 287 in Lander (7am-3:30pm; 307-332-2984).

(Fremont County, WY) – The Wyoming High School Activities Association (WHSAA) has passed a new reclassification motion for the second time which will now into effect in the 2024-25 school year.

Every two years, the WHSAA surveys how many students were projected to be in each school meaning that they could move up or down a class in athletics. The most recent example is Riverton moving up to 4A for soccer and Green River dropping to class 3A.

This will shake up based on how schools are placed and maybe settle down where schools are for a longer period of time. The new rule that is in place for classification is a harder cut-off. Eliminating each class needs a certain amount of schools to fill those classes. If a team passes a new threshold, they will join the new class without another school being affected by it. The association will still take gather projected student population numbers every two years.

Cutoff numbers for classification: (Note: The numbers are student population number thresholds)

4A: 700+
3A: 210-699
2A: 110-209
1A: 109 and below

With the last student average attendance numbers projections released before the recalcification for the 2022-23 and 2020-24 school years had margins that were noticeable. Green River would be the 15 biggest schools with over 770 students meaning they would be in 4A. Cody is next with 626 students.

This classification will affect all sports except football.

Some things that might be questioned could come in the 4A ranks where it has an odd number of schools at 15. This would affect regional tournaments guaranteed, but how it all would go together? Those are questions that can soon be answered.

Here is how Fremont County would be fair with the new change if the current student population numbers were used in the new format. This could be how it turns out under the new structure.

Riverton: They are the 14 biggest schools in the state of Wyoming from the recent average attendance and will be placed in 4A. The school was seeing their athletics going to 4A level with soccer flipping with Green River this season.

Lander: Lander Valley sees no change as they would remain in 3A. They will still be one of the biggest 3A schools in Wyoming behind Cody who would move back down into the 3A class.

Shoshoni: No change, remains in 2A.

Wind River: No change for Wind River. They would stay in 2A.

Wyoming Indian: No change for Chief Nation. Wyoming Indian is one of the biggest 2A schools in the state.

St. Stephens: They will go from 2A down to 1A. Their school population doesn’t reach the 110 threshold for the 2A classification.

Dubois: No change for Dubois. They will remain in Class 1A.

Listen to the conversation with the associate commissioner of the WHSAA Trevor Wilson about the new structure. He will be the new commissioner of the association in July.

How schools in the rest of Wyoming would be placed: (Note: The order of how teams are listed is based on the projected school population. Schools at the top have a higher student population, and school names at the bottom have a smaller student population.)

(Lander, WY) - Come celebrate the history of the sheep industry in Fremont County with the Lander Pioneer Museum “Sheep Shearing Day,” which will take place this Saturday, April 29, and will run from 1 to 3 p.m.The event is free and open to the public.Folks can expect shearing demonstrations, weaving displays, lamb sliders, crafts, horseback rides, and activities for kids.Sheep Shearing day is the second event in the museum’s 2023 “Kid’s Exploration Series,” sponsored by Bailey Tire and Auto Services. The series are activities and events for young people and families to learn about Lander and Wyoming history.Historically, spring in Fremont County has meant gathering up the sheep for their annual haircut. The Lander Pioneer Museum recognizes that heritage with its annual Sheep Shearing Day. The sheep industry was a huge part of the county’s economy. Many fortunes were made running sheep in the area, and in Lander a number of the large houses in town were built by money made from wool and mutton. Many sheep wagons are scattered around town, a relic from the days when families had sheep on the range. “Even today many people raise sheep and they are an important part of our agricultural economy,” said Lander Museum Director Randy Wise. “The museum wants to recognize that heritage in a way that kids will have a fun time learning about.”Sheep shearing demonstrations will be held on the museum grounds, the Fremont County Fiber Arts Guild will be doing demonstrations of wool crafts in the livery stable, and there will be crafts for kids, and horseback rides. The Fremont County Pioneer Association will be grilling lamb sliders (available for a donation) and hot dogs at the picnic pavilion. The lamb is being donated by the Wyoming Woolgrowers Association. There will be other activities as well.The museum is located on the north end of town at 1443 Main Street. Call 307-332-3373 for information or visit the web at www.fremontcountymuseums.com or on Facebook at Pioneer Museum Lander Wyoming.Check out a recent Coffee Time Interview with Randy Wise with all the info below!

Park away from the edge of the lek.Turn off the vehicle lights and engine.Use binoculars and spotting scopes to observe birds.Stay in your vehicle.Do not make loud noises or sudden movements.Do not leave until the birds do.Keep pets in your vehicle. Better yet, leave them home.Do not trespass on private land.Postpone your visit if roads are muddy.Do not construct wildlife or photography viewing blinds on or near lek.Be especially cautious with viewing activities during late March and early April when breeding activity usually peaks. Late April is a better time to visit because most of the breeding is complete but the males are still actively strutting. The weather is usually better too.Lekking Viewing Guide

(Lander, WY)- This is a special edition of the County 10 Podcast featuring myself, Charene Herrera, RadCast Outdoors Podcast hosts David Merrill and Patrick Edwards, Blake Fegler and Rowdy Anderson with Muley Fanatic Foundation. Plus our special guest who is first and foremost a father, and husband but also a world famous outdoor legend who has traveled the world hunting and learning other cultures. He has become an icon that has spanned multiple continents and he came to Wyoming for a very special visit, Jim Shockey!Blake Fegler, Rowdy Anderon, Jim Shockey, Patrick Edwards, Charene Herrera, David Merrill I believe if you have celebrity status you should use your voice for bettering the world and that is what Jim is doing. As we try to unite and understand, learn and grow, Jim has spent many decades traveling the world and really seeing different cultures, tribes, lands, lives, thoughts and ways of life. He is a great role model and leader in this field. He consistently brings back the message of us all being the same and on the same team. Check out this fun, laid back, informative and Wyoming style podcast with the legendary Jim Shockey. One of my favorite lines in this podcast is from Jim "hunting is only a tiny tiny bit about killing something, it's everything else and family is such a big part of that. Humor, adventure, culture. That's what makes up hunting.. the elements." He has such a calm charisma about him. As we approach 45 minutes into the podcast... I just had to get something off my chest. This man who is so iconic and cool, I wanted to know why he doesn't fly fish? Jim tells me exactly what he thinks of fly fishing and how he prefers to fish. I hope to see Jim with a fly rod in hand one day! I also highly encourage you if you are ever in British Columbia to go to his "Hands of Man Museum" which I will include a map link at the end of this story. A free, self guided tour with video descriptions around a 17,000 square foot museum. Some call him "the worlds most interesting man" and you get to see why in this museum. 'Call Me Hunter' is the title of Jim's novel which is out in October of this year but you can preorder now. Even though it is classified as a fiction book you can chalk it up to basically being an autobiography about Jim's life. 80 percent fact and the other 20 percent "had to be left out or he may get in trouble", he said while laughing. Pre Order 'Call Me Hunter' The Muley Fanatic Foundation is the reason Jim Shockey was in Lander to help promote the conservation of mule deer in Wyoming. They had their big banquet which boasted a lot of fun moments, and opportunities. One of the best moments of the night was when we were blessed with a video presentation on the " Putting the U in Hunt" program and graced with a beneficiary of the program in attendance for the banquet. The MFF uses their Wyoming complimentary Commissioner Licenses to take youth with life-threatening illnesses hunting. Adlyn Even is one of this year's hunters for the "Putting the U in Hunt" program. You may remember her when she had the opportunity to be a Junior Reporter for the Denver Broncos.

According to Kail, Dave Barker, the current superintendent let the school board know he was not going to ask for a contract renewal for the 2023-24 school year after about eight years in the role, and since then the process has begun to look for new candidates.

At this stage, the district has received all of the applications, and the Wyoming School Boards Association will now begin narrowing down the candidates to a group of about 10-12 people, based on criteria given to them by the school board.

Those applicants will be further narrowed down to the top 3 or 4 choices by this Thursday, February 6, then site visits, administrator evaluations and staff forums will be scheduled.

Once that process is completed, community forums for each candidate will be held at the Pathfinder High School library, each about an hour long.

Parents and folks interested in submitting questions can do so here, as questions will not be taken from those in attendance at the forums. Questions have to be submitted by this Saturday, February 4.

The forums are tentatively scheduled for February 7, 9, and 16, but these dates could be subject to change due to the availability of candidates, and Kail and Jacobson said they hope to have these dates finalized by February 3.

Kail then let us know that following the forums, they hope to be able to have a decision made by February 21, but it could be a few weeks before a public final decision announcement is made.

To stay up to date on the process as it unfolds, be sure to check back on the district website.

(Lander, WY) – KOVE 1330 AM / 107.7 FM’s Coffee Time host Vince Tropea recently sat down with Amarah Fegring and Anne Mason the artistic directors (and performer) behind AN ILIAD, which makes its way to Lander this week. Laramie's Relative Theatrics and Lander's Communal Pancake Performing Arts are collaborating to present the play by Lisa Peterson and Denis O'Hare. AN ILIAD will be performed January 18-21, 2023, at 7 pm in the Lander Library Carnegie Room.Check out the full Coffee Time interview with Fehring and Mason and the official press release below.Poetry and humor, the ancient tale of the Trojan War, and the modern world collide in this captivating theatrical experience. The setting is simple: the empty theater. The time is now: the present moment; a lone figure stands onstage. AN ILIAD is a modern-day retelling of Homer's classic and features a single storyteller, The Poet (Anne Mason), who is fated to travel from one town to the next, telling the story of the Trojan War. h/t Communal Pancake Performing Arts and Relative Theatrics h/t Communal Pancake Performing Arts and Relative Theatrics "During the course of the play, you come to realize that the Poet has been charged with the task of telling the story for thousands of years and has laid witness to every major conflict in Western - and global - history since 2,000 BCE," said Anne Mason, actor and Producing Artistic Director for Relative Theatrics. "The Homeric epic is quoted, paraphrased, and contextualized for today's modern, English-speaking audience… but there's still a bit of the ancient Greek language sprinkled in!"Relative Theatrics originally produced the play in Laramie during the fall of 2019, featuring Mason as the Poet, and directed by Riverton native Andrew Thornton."I began preparing for the September 2019 performance in February of the same year," Mason said. "In addition to reading a couple of translations of Homer's The Iliad, this show also required an intense amount of research - everything from ancient Greek civilization and Greek mythology to military tactics and world history. I also spent many hours with University of Wyoming professor Dr. Laura De Lozier learning the ancient Greek language in the text."Before AN ILIAD, Mason had done several small-cast shows, but this was her first time being alone on stage. "I was surprised to learn how lonely it can be to vulnerably lean into a piece without the support and camaraderie of fellow castmates," Mason said. "It is rigorous and requires an incredible amount of self-accountability. It also means that the pressure is on you to bring it every night - you can't rely on someone else's energy to pick up any slack. I found that I needed to engage in a two-hour warm-up ritual for each performance in order to get my voice, my body, and my mind primed for the show."In the summer of 2022, Mason connected with Amara Fehring, the Artistic Director for Communal Pancake Performing Arts. The pair quickly decided that a collaboration would be an excellent creative opportunity for Lander and Wyoming. "Once we decided to co-produce a show, it was a matter of finding the right play, and we thought AN ILIAD would be the perfect fit," Mason said. “It is Communal Pancake and Relative Theatrics’ hope to promote the idea of theatre as a platform that fosters open civic dialogue while highlighting the eternally relevant aspects of human life"In addition to the performance, the team is providing arts education programming based on the play in Fremont County. Over this past week, Mason has conducted workshops in multiple Fremont County high school and middle school classrooms rooted in the play's content. "I am a huge proponent of Arts Education and of using theatre as a means to better access scholastic content," said Mason. "It has been a treat to bring workshops to Fremont County students that apply theatre skills in order to explore character devel...

(Fremont County, WY)- The Wyoming Wildlife Federation is gearing up for Camo at the Capital on February 2nd in Cheyenne. Jess Johnson with WWF joins the County 10 podcast to invite you to the big event. Wyoming Wildlife Federation is based out of Lander and they would love to see some folks from Fremont County at Camo at the Capital. Jess will tell you more about the event, involve us in some bills with Wyoming Wildlife Federation and she gives us an insight on things to watch and look for as the 2023 General Session has started. I was fortunate enough to attend Camo at the Capital last year and it was an eye opening experience. I think many people in Wyoming, including myself, take for granted the public access, hunting/fishing opportunities, and wildlife. The only way to protect it is to stay in the know on what is happening with government officials, during legislation and how things could or are changing in the state. Wyoming Wildlife Federation wants to make sure everyone has the chance to use their voice. Jess Johnson at Camp at the Capital 2022 Jess Johnson has been with Wyoming Wildlife Federation for 7 years and has a major passion for advocating for conservation in the state. She travels globally learning about management of species, lands and how she can bring that here. She frequently is found outdoors hunting, whether it's on a solo hunt or a hunt with friends. I am sure she prefers the outdoors over being at the capital for the next month or so, which is where you will find her. h/t WWFYou can follow along with what is happening in session here.

Given the lengths of endurance we as human beings maneuver every day in relation to our mental health, choosing endurance art as a medium for ECHO was a natural path to take.”

(Lander, WY) - Get ready to celebrate Lander’s apple history with the Lander Pioneer Museum Apple Fest, which is set for September 17, 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM.

The event will feature apple cider pressing, crafts for kids, Lander apples and talks about the history of Lander apples, horseback rides, an apple pie contest, a kid’s apple sauce eating competition, hard cider from Jackson and more.

Lander has a long history of apple orchards, and in the early days the community was known as “The Apple City.” A lucky combination of good water and soil, shelter from the wind, and farmers willing to experiment with many tree species to find ones that would grow well here, the Lander Valley developed many fine orchards.

In honor of this history, the Pioneer Museum holds apple fest, a fun family event which highlights the many aspects of apples and apple use in the valley.

“Our past Apple fests were a huge success. Kids loved pressing, and drinking, fresh cider,” said Museum Curator Randy Wise. “We’re having that, plus much more this year so people can have fun and learn about this important part of Lander’s history.” Wise said that attempts are being made to bring back some of the historic orchards in the area.

Apple fest will include an apple pie contest with cash prizes for the top three pies. There is also a kid’s pie competition with those winners also getting prizes and ribbons. “The Fremont County Pioneer Association, which supports the museum, has donated some nice prize money,” Wise said. People are encouraged to get out their yummy family recipes. The rules are available at the museum, or online at the museum Facebook page.

The judging will be at 11 a.m. with three lucky judges getting to pick the winners. At one p.m. the pies will be cut up and slices sold to the audience with the money going to the museum.

Speaking of lucky judges, check out the recent Coffee Time interview below with Wise, where he asked host Vince Tropea to be one of this year's judges.

Another fun event is an apple sauce eating contest for kids. There will be three age groups and the kid who can eat their bowl of apple sauce the fastest will win a prize in each age group. The catch is they have to eat the apple sauce with a straw and can’t use their hands. There will also be kids crafts and local apple demonstrations and talks.

A highlight is always the presence of Farmstead Wyoming and their samples of hard cider. Many of the apples the company from Jackson uses to make its cider come from the Lander area, and Farmstead will be back this year offering samples of its tart, tasty Wyoming made drink. People are encouraged to bring in their apples and crabapples by the bag, basket or truck load for the company if they want to see the apples put to good use.

For information call the museum at 332-3373.

Prototype to Production – Turning Idea into RealityWhen: Thursday, September 8th, 5:30-7 pmWhere: atWork Coworking, 2255 Brunton Court, Suite A

Lauren and David Heerschap are the new owners of Brunton as of November 2021. Their original business, Real Science Innovations, was based out of their garage in Durango, Colorado while they were full-time educators. They designed and made science teaching tools such as a water rocket launcher, groundwater models, field geology kits, and field geology measurement devices.

Driven by the challenges of teaching and wanting the best tools of the trade, they invented, prototyped, and patented a new model of the geologic compass that takes measurements more efficiently and intuitively. They approached Brunton with their idea in 2014, successfully negotiated a licensing agreement, and worked with Brunton to produce and market what is now the Brunton Axis Transit.

Their involvement grew into becoming employees of Brunton, followed by the opportunity to bring the company back home to Wyoming ownership and leadership.

(Yellowstone National Park, WY) - In Celebration of Yellowstone National Park's 150th anniversary, the Mountain Time Arts (MTA) group organized a project called Yellowstone Revealed, a "series of place-based projects by an inter-tribal group of Indigenous artists and scholars," which took place from August 17-28.

Patti Baldes, Fremont County local, artist and organizer of the Wind River Tribal Buffalo Initiative, was asked by MTA to contribute, which culminated in the REMATRIATE project, which had a theme of restoration and giving land back "specifically to the buffalo."

"The focus is connection, honest obligation to the land, self and healing," Baldes commented.

The project involved creating moving buffalo sculptures made of willow branches, red birch and chokecherries, with 12 dancers, all women and matriarchs, bringing the buffalo sculptures to life.

Local musician and artist Christian Wallowing Bull led 10 drummers while the buffalo dancers performed, singing the Floyd Red Crow Westerman cover of the Johnny Cash song "Drums."

"It's the greatest thing I've ever been a part of in my personal life as well as my professional career," Wallowing Bull commented.

“It is an honor to take part in such a powerful historic intertribal event. Shout out to Patti for the vision for rematriation. I stand with all my relatives.”

The ceremony was performed both August 24th at Madison Junction, and August 25th at Old Faithful.

Check out some photos of the event below.

While the bear posed no immediate threat at the time and hasn't been sighted since, DeBolt stated that one of the main reasons bears come into town is because deer have become more commonplace in city limits from folks regularly feeding them, which he also advised against doing.

Check out the full Coffee Time interview with DeBolt below for more information and advice on how to avoid any unwanted bear visits.

(Wyoming)- Grand Teton National Park has visitors from all over the world that travel to see the views, many Wyomingites are left missing out on seeing this great place. I want to share how you can visit GTNP and see very few people, as well as seeing ample wildlife and gaining ample knowledge. In this podcast episode I have the pleasure of interviewing Kevin Taylor of Teton Science Schools who has been involved with Grand Teton and Yellowstone for 20 years.

The beauty that is located in Wyoming is always something that is awe-inspiring to me. I want Wyomingites in particular to take in some of the areas we may avoid due to high tourist numbers. Close to 4 million people visit Grand Teton National Park a year. Kevin discusses how on tours with TSS you can avoid the crowds with some backroad, wildlife and timing knowledge that the average person just wouldn't necessarily have the experience to know but they do as wildlife guides. Plus they have some amazing opportunities for kids, which Kevin really has a passion for teaching and inspiring.

Find out why choose Grand Teton over Yellowstone and some secret gems with Kevin in this great podcast. What is Kevin's favorite animal to view in Grand Teton? What is the best time of the day to see animals? Did you know there was a cheetah that lived here in Wyoming? Find out more below!

In just a few hours we had seen multiple species of wildlife. Kevin Taylor has an extensive background so even if you think you know about an animal or area he will definitely still teach you something you just have to be willing to listen and sometimes be patient.

(Lander, WY) – Mental Health Monday, the new weekly segment on KOVE 1330 AM / 107.7 FM’s Coffee Time, hosted by Vince Tropea, continued today with guest Dr. David Martorano, MD, Assistant Medical Director, Director of Adult Psychiatric Services at the Wyoming Behavioral Institute (WBI) in Casper.

The last time we spoke with Dr. Martorano, we looked at mental health from a broad perspective and touched on some local and state issues, but for today’s show we chatted about a new undertaking for WBI, which will be somewhat of an exclusive announcement from Mental Health Monday.

WBI is about to officially launch Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) treatments, a non-invasive treatment for depression, beginning in October.

(In the interview, it is stated that the treatments will begin in August, but it will in fact be in October, with a full press release from WBI forthcoming.)

Dr. Martorano discussed the TMS process, how folks can tell if this form of treatment is right for them, and why he felt the need to bring the treatment to Wyoming (he was the first to do so).

One of the key points brought up in today's conversation was the concept of hope in the world of mental health, which issues like depression and anxiety rob most people of.

While TMS treatment may not be for everyone, it might provide hope to those who have not had successful medicinal or psychiatric treatments.

To learn more about TMS and what the folks at WBI are doing for treatment, check out the full Mental Health Monday interview below.

The main goal of Mental Health Monday is to start an open dialogue about a number of mental health topics, and how folks are being affected on local, state and national levels.

Guests range from psychiatrists, psychologists, school/drug/grief counselors, and any other professionals in the field, as well as testimonials from those affected by mental health issues, such as students, veterans, first responders, and many more.

A band that is easy to promote with their talent, energy and good nature. Wyoming seems right up their alley and Lander always shows great support for Lander Live with Lander Presents.

The Lil Smokies 3rd studio album comes from time spent in a town in Texas, named affectionally after it. They were just in Nashville with some new music from that trip as well.

County 10 Podcast has Mike Zirble from 307 Financial Services joining. Mike is talking about some data behind unemployment and the economy. Take a listen to this months podcast below.

(Lander, WY) - At the May 17 Fremont County School Board (FCSD) #1 meeting, the decision was made in a 4-3 vote to remove sexual orientation, gender identity, veteran status, marital status and pregnancy as specifically mentioned protected classes in the district discrimination policy.

At that meeting, over 40 public commenters made their voices heard on the matter, ranging from students, staff, parents, mental health counselors, veterans, folks in support of the change and members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Council Members in favor of the protected class removal addressed concerns that protections would still be still in place, citing Wyoming statute and cases such as Bostock v. Clayton County, but those affected by the change were quick to point out the amount of day-to-day bullying that LGBTQ+ students face that goes unreported.

They also expressed concerns that removing sexual orientation and gender identity would lead to more bullying and discrimination.

Students at both Lander Valley High School and Lander Middle School eventually staged walkouts protesting the decision Tuesday afternoon.

LVHS student walkout. h/t Vince Tropea photo

County 10 caught up with a few of the LVHS students at their walkout, each of whom were too afraid to give their names for fear of increased bullying, with a few also hesitating to appear in the group picture, fearing blowback from fellow students and parents.

"The school Board is supposed to protect us, not take away our protections. That is completely unfair to veterans, pregnant people, LGBTQ people," one student stated.

"The School Board wants to say there's no problem with bullying against LGBTQ students, but it is a very big problem. We need to have School Board representatives that support the student body, and we're not getting that," another student claimed.

"Students do not report bad things that happen because they are scared that they will not be treated safely and be in a safe environment afterwards. If you take away our protections to be safe in our schools, then expect us to report it more after taking away our safety, I don't know you're expecting from that, but it's not going to be more reports," commented a third student to cheers from the group.

It should be noted, at the same May 17 School Board meeting where the decision was made, three FCSD #1 principals were asked to detail the process and outlets for reporting bullying, and the ways they go about addressing it, with each commenting every report of bullying is taken very serious and looked into.

In addition, the following message from Superintendent Dave Barker was posted on the district website on May 20:

"I wanted to address some of the concerns that I’ve seen discussed in various places since the board meeting of May 17 where a change was made to policy AC (non-discrimination) and associated policies that contained the non-discrimination language in them. Changing the language of the policies of non-discrimination does not eliminate any of the legally supported reasons for discrimination claims.

"Court cases have held that discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity is illegal and other federal legislation makes discrimination based on pregnancy and veteran status illegal in employment decisions. This means the district must address any discrimination that is reported in these areas as well as those listed in the policy.

"I do understand the concern raised during public comments that removing the language could lead to an increase in negative interactions between students. I want to stress the importance of working with building administrators to report any concerns that arise. I have full confidence that our administrators investigate every complaint thoroughly and seriously. In some instances, they hear conflicting accounts of an incident, which makes it difficult to determine exactly what occurred. Even in these cases,

It's no secret that the 307 supports their own in many ways and that's how it is with Wyoming musicians. Born in Sheridan, Ian Munsick comes from a musical family and his Wyoming roots helped ground and grow that. He is on tour with country star Cody Johnson making some great memories.

(Lander, WY) – Just in time for the closing of Mental Health Awareness Month, 1330 KOVE AM / 107.7 FM and Coffee Time aired the first episode of Mental Health Monday, hosted by Vince Tropea.

The goal of Mental Health Monday is to start an open dialogue about a number of mental health topics, and how folks are being affected on local, state and national levels.

Guests will range from psychiatrists, psychologists, school/drug/grief counselors, and any other professionals in the field, as well as testimonials from those affected by mental health issues, such as students, veterans, first responders, and many more.

Tropea recently spoke with David Martorano, MD, Assistant Medical Director, Director of Adult Psychiatric Services at the Wyoming Behavioral Institute (WBI).

Dr. Martorano, a second-generation psychiatrist, obtained his medical degree from the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York, and completed his residency in psychiatry at the University of California Neuropsychiatric Institute.

He specializes in addictions and is affiliated with the American Society of Addiction Medicine and the California Society of Addiction Medicine.

Tropea and Martorano discussed a variety of topics, including: the worryingly high rate of suicides in Wyoming, the shortage of mental health professionals in our state, the lack of funds to keep said professionals here, the roles of both in and out patient care, how drug dependency affects mental health, the pandemic's affect on mental health, and the importance of having open dialogues about mental health, especially with the youth.

"Challengers are recognized in a variety of ways, depending on their giving amount. After the giving period ends, we take the amount of money raised by Challengers and the amount raised by nonprofits and figure out the percentage match. The percentage match is the amount of money every participating nonprofit is eligible to receive.

"We match nonprofit’s donations up to $10,000. Historically the match has been between 35%-60%."

Many states can not recover from AIS issues. So let's make an effort to think about how we are moving and what we are transferring between water ways.

The national attention and backings have been largely due to the fact that Hageman has been a staunch critic of Liz Cheney, Wyoming's lone member of Congress in the U.S. House of Representative, and she was also recently behind a mock "Cheney for Virginia" campaign, claiming Cheney isn't present in Wyoming enough.

Early estimates during the initial feasibility study put the total cost of the facility at $11 million, but is now projected at $13-15 million, which would include construction, contingencies, and one year operating costs.

The facility design and construction is set to begin in June courtesy of ERDMAN, and while The Creeks Memory Support Residences had originally partnered to manage, the Lander Housing Authority will now act as the managing agency. A public competitive proposal process was followed where Vetter Senoir Living, current operators at Westward Heights, was ultimately selected as the operator of the care facility.

Check out the full Coffee Time interview with Assistant Mayor Strube Fossen below, where she also gives us the background on how the facility got started, and what we can expect in the facility's future in terms of timeline.

The discussion will begin at 5:00 PM next Thursday, December 9th in the Carnegie Room at the Lander Library, and should last about an hour and fifteen minutes, according to the Facebook event page.

The Death Cafe will take place as soon as the discussion comes to an end.

So, what is a Death Cafe? It's best to let Liz describe it in detail, but basically, "A Death Cafe is a scheduled non-profit get-together for the purpose of talking about death over food and drink, usually tea and cake."

Lightner, who will lead the Death Cafe discussion, also founded and operates Better Your Goodbyes, a business that aims to "Provide support, comfort, and guidance to a person and their loved ones before, during, and after death, so that they may have the most loving, peaceful, and painless experience possible."

Her role as an 'end-of-life doula' also caught the attention of Time magazine, which interviewed Liz moments before her appearance on Coffee Time.

For those unaware, Via Ferratas are “permanently cabled cliff-side trails that allows non-technical climbers to have a guided climbing and traversing experience in vertical terrain,” according to the Sinks Canyon Master Plan description.

The proposal has turned into quite the topic of debate, with hundreds of Fremont County citizens attending the various meetings discussing the matter.

Lander Chamber Executive Director Owen Sweeney and Chairman of the Committee for the Via Ferrata Sam Lightner spoke in favor, citing what they see as a potential economic development and possible tourist draw for the Lander area.

Sinks Canyon Wild volunteers Tom Troop and Bob Oakleaf, a retired Game and Fish Biologist, spoke on behalf of those against the proposed Ferrata, expressing concerns about the peregrine falcon nesting sites in the vicinity of the initially proposed location, as well as the overall concern about the appearance of the climbing route.

Check out the full interviews with both parties below, with Owen and Sam starting things off, and Tom and Bob coming in a few seconds after the 35 minute mark.

(Lander, WY) — When you visit a museum and look at the artifacts protected by glass or pieces of art mounted on the wall, it's easy to not think about how the item got there.

If you are like me at all, you're focused on the textures of the paintings or who from history could have worn the artifact, not who carefully transported the item, potentially great distances, so I could experience it.

Lander resident Reid Schell owns and operates Handle With Care, a fine art and artifact transportation service. He's transported a Congressional Medal of Honor, paintings headed to the Louvre Museum in Paris, a 150-year-old wine collection and so much more.

He's actually the reason we currently have the exhibit “Native Americans of Wyoming’s Wind River Country” currently at the Pioneer Museum in Lander.

The pieces are from a collection by Joseph Sheuerle which features the artist’s notes and sketches on the back of his portraits. The unique framing and presentation of his work allow viewers to appreciate both the polished portrait and his notes and sketches.

h/t Pioneer Museum - “Native Americans of Wyoming’s Wind River Country”

The exhibit arrived in Lander last fall and will be on display through the end of September 2021.

In 2016, the Montana Historical Society hired Handle With Care to package and transport dozens of framed pieces by Scheuerle from Cincinnati to Helena, Montana.

As Reid prepared the works for transportation, he realized many were created in Fort Washakie and was determined to find a way to share the art with Fremont County.

He approached the Montana Historical Society and the Lander Pioneer Museum, and over several years of collaboration and cooperation between the three, a loan of more than 20 portraits to Fremont County Museums was set.

In the final step, he donated his high-end art transportation services to ensure the safe delivery of this local portion of the collection to the Pioneer Museum.

Community News Manager Amanda Fehring sat down with Reid for an episode of Fehring in the Field. Listen to our entire interview below.

He'll be attending the Riverton Boys and Girls Club fundraising breakfast at the Fremont County Fairgrounds on Tuesday, April 27th.

Charene Herrera loves adventure. So much so, she's affectionally been nicknamed "Charene The Adventure Queen."

Herrera is one of Riverton's newest residents after residing in both Missoula, Montana and Boise, Idaho for several years. She's a former radio DJ, writer, vlogger, nursing student, and is obsessed with fly fishing. One more thing... she bakes.

This March, County 10's #RivertonBiz series introduced you to The Private Chef. Owner Destiny Dower makes dishes from scratch and delivers them to her Fremont County customers.

Business for Destiny is booming. Her sister, Charene took note. Now The Private Chef is teaming up with Charene's Sweets to deliver hearty meals and baked goods.

All of Herrera's baked goods are fly fishing themed. For example, her "Brookie" Bacon Banana Bread. (Yeah, we said bacon).

Or, maybe you'd be more interested in her "Stonefly" Sugar Cookies. Or "Carp" Chocolate Chip cookies. "No fish were harmed in the baking of these," Herrera joked.

Charene told us on the County 10 Morning Show that fly fishing became one of her biggest hobbies after her grandma passed away. "It saved me," she explained.

https://county10.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Contact-tracing-PSA.m4a

Fremont County tested positives for COVID-19 as of today, April 29th, is 101. The State Public Health Site lists 8 probable positives for Fremont County which means they were in close proximity to a confirmed positive.

Location breakdown:

Arapahoe 7 Ethete 12 Fort Washakie 7 Hudson 1 Lander 27 Riverton 42 St. Stephens 3

In addition, there was a positive patient in Dubois but that test was sent in by Teton County and not included in our count above. Also, 2 cases have not been specified to a location that explains the difference in totals between 101 and town numbers.

We are watching trends in all the metrics suggested by Dr. Harrist at the State Public Health Department to evaluate our local trends:

Percent of cases attributed to community spread Percent of all tests that are positive Total coronavirus-related admissions Overall Hospital bed availability ICU bed availability

Until the trends in our metrics support a loosening of restrictions, please put on a mask when you venture out in public, observe social distancing, and wash your hands frequently. Stay safe and protect others. Thank you.

Jack Schmidt's vision for a Fremont County "food hub," continues to take shape. In the spring of 2019, Jack told County 10 he was moving forward with a plan to create a facility that would serve Wyoming-produced meals, allow food entrepreneurs to use a certified shared kitchen, and where folks could sell their products.

In October 2019, the plan moved from an idea in Jack's mind to a physical building. The Riverton Local Food Hub opened and began operations in the former Airport Cafe at Riverton Regional Airport. Step one was opening the kitchen to serve travelers and locals breakfast and lunch.

Now, the food hub continues to expand. One issue that Jack regularly runs into is travelers who don't necessarily have enough time to sit down and enjoy a meal. So, he's got a plan to bring Wyoming made snacks and meals to the travelers.

County 10 reporter Amanda Fehring recently caught up with Jack. Together, they sat down over a meal and discussed the expansion plans on the County 10 Podcast. CLICK HERE FOR THE PODCAST!

Now that we're into the 2020's, it's been 100 years since bootleggers, the great depression, the jazz age, flappers, and bathtub gin were dominating the roaring 1920's.

But, what was Fremont County like at that time?

Zach and Kirsten from the Fremont County Museum System share some of the fascinating details and stories with us on the latest episode of Rediscover The Winds: A Wyoming History Podcast.

With January over, the new year and new decade are well underway and what better way is there to welcome 2020 than by looking back at 1920, when Model T’s, bootlegging, and pinstripe suits were the norm. Dances at ranches and alcohol hidden in hay bales, this episode is going to shine the light on some of the gilded history of our region!

Andre Eloumou passed through Fremont County this week while on his cross-country run to raise money for refugee education access. The 33-year-old French endurance runner began Andre Run USA on November 1st, 2019 when he departed Brooklyn, New York on a 3,600-mile journey.

"I am pretty close to two-thirds of the way through Andre Run USA and will be finished running by the 20th of March in Santa Monica, California," he explained. The Wyoming weather impacted his running timeline just a little bit, but he's been able to average 33 miles a day.

h/t Andre Eloumou - Wyoming snow

Below is a video of Andre running through Wyoming wind:

Andre has dedicated this run to his father who fled Cameroon to France on foot in the 1970s. He partnered with the USA for UNHCR to raise money and awareness for refugees to have access to education.

h/t Andre Eloumou

One thing that Andre shared about running through Wyoming is that there are not a lot of people here, but he "loves it because there is a lot of nature." The calm and peacefulness give him time to reflect. "This might sound crazy, but I really love the cold weather and extreme winds. It teaches humility."

When asked if there was anything else he'd like to share, he said the following:
