The Harpweaver comes to Pinedale February 15th (posted 2/4/2025)
Maeve Gilchrist
Pinedale Fine Arts Council
The Pinedale Fine Arts Council (PFAC) is proud to present critically acclaimed harpist Maeve Gilchrist live at the Sheppard Auditorium on Saturday February 15 at 7:00 p.m.

Described by one critic as "a phenomenal harp player who can make her instrument ring with unparalleled purity", Maeve Gilchrist has taken the Celtic (lever) harp to new levels of performance and visibility.

Born and raised in Edinburgh, Scotland, and currently based in New York, Maeve‘s innovative approach to her instrument stretches its harmonic limits and improvisational possibilities. She is as at home as a soloist with an internationally renowned orchestra as she is playing with a traditional Irish folk group or using electronic augmentation in a more contemporary, improvisatory setting.

For the Pinedale concert, Maeve will be performing as a duo (harp, guitar) and the program will be based around her Harpweaver Album. The performance will also include some brand new music that Maeve is workshopping in anticipation of her next record. The program is primarily instrumental but includes a few songs and also spoken word (as well as samples of the voice of Edna St Vincent Millay, the poet who inspired the Harpweaver album with her Pulitzer-award-winning poem, The Ballad of the Harpweaver').

Tickets for the February 15 performance are on sale now at local PFAC outlets (Office Outlets, Nested West & The Cowboy Shop) and online at .

Game and Fish conducts annual mule deer surveys (posted 1/4/2025)
Wyoming Range and Sublette herds continue to recover
Wyoming Game & Fish
Each winter, Wyoming Game and Fish Department personnel conduct aerial surveys to assess mule deer populations. In late December, wildlife managers in the Jackson and Pinedale regions took to the sky to record classification data for the Wyoming Range and Sublette mule deer herds.

Managers continue to evaluate mule deer recovery in the Wyoming Range and Sublette herds following the severe winter of 2022-23, which resulted in above-average mortality. The data collected from these surveys, along with data from ongoing research, provide valuable insight into population trends and assist managers with hunting season recommendations.

Long-term research on mule deer in the Wyoming Range Herd, conducted in partnership with the Monteith Shop at the University of Wyoming, indicated mule deer entered this winter in very good body condition. The average body fat percentage of adult females captured during the fall of 2024 was 12.9%, a slight decrease from the average during fall 2023 of 15.8%, which was the highest recorded since the study began in 2013. Last summer, researchers captured fawns on the ground in the Wyoming Range. The average birth mass of newborn fawns was 7.7 pounds, the largest measurement recorded since 2016, and nearly 1 pound larger than average birth mass across all previous years.

Weather patterns such as drought and extreme winters affect the quality and quantity of forage available to mule deer. Forage production and availability have significant impacts on the body condition of deer heading into winter.

"High precipitation zones that approach 30 inches or more on Wyoming Range mule deer summer ranges allow a diversity of plants to grow, which enables doe deer to produce and care for viable and healthy fawns before they migrate to winter ranges," said Gary Fralick, Game and Fish south Jackson wildlife biologist.

Additionally, the relatively mild and snow-free winter conditions over the last two years have resulted in high over-winter survival.

"Deer are able to disperse over the entire winter range because of the low snow accumulations, and therefore maximize the use of forage at elevations that approach 9,000 feet on winter ranges," Fralick said.

The high fawn crop and elevated survival rates heading into this winter were evident in the December aerial classification surveys. During these annual surveys, biologists and game wardens fly over winter ranges from a helicopter and tally the number of observed fawns, does, yearling bucks and adult bucks.

The population data for the Wyoming Range Herd includes hunt areas 134, 135 and 143-145. The December flight survey resulted in 4,902 mule deer counted and indicated a considerable increase in fawn ratios at 83 fawns for every 100 does, up from 34 fawns for every 100 does surveyed in 2023. These high fawn ratios are consistent with findings from the long-term research data that showed high survival of marked fawns last summer.

The overall buck ratio was up with 28 bucks for every 100 does. This is approaching the 30-45 buck-to-doe ratio objective. Yearling buck ratios increased to nine bucks for every 100 does, while adult buck ratios remained unchanged at 19 bucks for every 100 does. While the ratio of adult bucks remained stable, the increase in yearling bucks contributed to a rise in overall buck ratios for the herd.

In the Sublette Deer Herd, which includes winter ranges in hunt areas 130, 131, 138, 139, 140 and 142, biologists recorded 7,645 mule deer during the December flight survey. Similar to the Wyoming Range deer survey, there was a notable increase in the number of fawns observed. The classification survey indicated a fawn ratio of 76 fawns for every 100 does — the highest ratio observed since 2006.

The overall buck-to-doe ratio remains stable at 34 bucks for every 100 does, identical to the findings from 2023. The ratio of yearling bucks increased to 10 bucks for every 100 does, whereas the ratio of adult bucks decreased to 23 bucks for every 100 does.

"Both herds have demonstrated resilience in the past, quickly recovering from periods of high winter mortality. We witnessed this recovery in the mid-2000s and again from 2011-16 and 2017-22," Fralick said. "During those times, the mild and open winter conditions led to high over-winter survival rates for mule deer and rapid recovery of the populations."

As the Wyoming Range and Sublette herds continue to recover, wildlife managers will assess mule deer hunting season structures.

"As these herds recover, our hunting seasons will be adjusted to maximize opportunities while still meeting herd unit objectives, such as maintaining appropriate buck ratios," said Dean Clause, Game and Fish wildlife biologist for the Pinedale Region.

Pedigree Stage Stop Sled Dog Race (posted 2/4/2025)
A major winter storm forced the cancellation of Sunday’s stage of the Pedigree Stage Stop Sled Dog Race due to heavy snowfall and sustained winds exceeding 30 mph. Competitors reconvened at the Middle Piney Trailhead Monday morning. A two-hour delay was implemented to allow heavy equipment to clear the road to the remote trailhead and enable Wyoming State Trails grooming crews to reset the 31-mile out-and-back course. Five-time champion Anny Malo once again posted the fastest time, further extending her overall lead. Stage Stop rookie Stéphane Roy from New Brunswick, Canada, finished second, followed by Bruce Magnusson of Michigan. Alix Crittenden from Bondurant, Wyoming placed 4th and Cathy Rivest finishing fifth to round out the top. Anny Malo remains in first place overall and will once again wear the yellow bib in tomorrow’s stage 3.

Race organizers announced that the stage canceled on Sunday will be made up by running the Lander-based trail out of Sinks Canyon — located in the eastern end of the Wind River Mountain Range — a second time on Thursday, February 6. This additional stage, originally designated as a travel day from Kemmerer, will maintain the overall race mileage at 215 miles and allow competitors to vie for the $4,167 in day money awarded to the top 10 finishers for each stage.

On Wednesday, February 5, Stage Four of the race will be out of Kemmerer. Teams will then move to Lander for Stages Five and Six, and finally, conclude with Stage Seven in Dubois—set against the stunning backdrop of the Gros Ventre and Absaroka Mountains bordering Yellowstone and the Teton Range.

The Pedigree Stage Stop Race draws top mushers and dog teams from across North America and Europe. This year's competitors are:
1. Michael Tetzner – Burg, Germany
2. Austin Forney – Leadville, Colorado
3. Chris Adkins – Canyon Creek, Montana
4. Michael Bestgen – St Cloud, Minnesota
5. Liam Conner – Loon Lake, Saskatchewan, Canada

WY State Superintendent supports U.S. Department of Education’s Title IX announcement (posted 2/1/2025)
On Friday, January 31, 2025, the U.S. Department of Education announced that the 2020 Title IX rules will be reinstated to replace the 2024 rules proposed by the Biden administration.

The Wyoming Department of Education said in a statement released Friday, "The 2020 rules better guarantee due process for students and staff involved in Title IX investigations and confirm that individuals are protected based on their biological sex assigned at birth."

"This is great news from the Trump administration as we continue to work on protections for women in Wyoming, including several bills currently before the Legislature. This is about safety and fairness and I will never stop fighting for our girls," said Wyoming State Superintendent Megan Degenfelder.

Title IX is a federal civil rights law passed as part of the Education Amendments of 1972. This law protects people from discrimination based on sex in any school or any other education program that receives funding from the federal government. Under the Biden administration, the 2024 Title IX Final Rule expanded the definition of "sex-based harassment" to include harassment based on sex characteristics, sexual orientation, gender identity, sex stereotypes, and pregnancy, among other changes.

Low cost insulin program available to Wyoming citizens (posted 1/30/2025)
Office of the Attorney General
As announced in October, Attorney General Bridget Hill reminded Wyoming citizens of the settlement agreement with Sanofi-Aventis U.S. LLC (Sanofi), which guarantees that Wyoming citizens not enrolled in government health care programs can buy Sanofi’s insulin products for $35 per month for the next five years and directed citizens to a website to help them enroll in the program.

The terms of this settlement are now in effect. and Wyoming has launched a website for Wyoming consumers to obtain low-cost insulin as a result of the settlement. The settlement requires Sanofi to provide insulin products—including Admelog, Lantus, Toujeo, and Apidra, and any biosimilar of those products that Sanofi markets in the U.S.—at $35 per monthly prescription for customers choosing to pay with cash.

To take advantage of the pricing, consumers will need to register for a savings card via Sanofi. Consumers can find all links and necessary information at the following website: https://attorneygeneral.wyo.gov/law-office-division/consumer-protection-and-antitrust-unit/sanofi-insulinsettlement

In addition to the $35 monthly prescription rate, Sanofi has agreed to implement an enrollment message program to assist pharmacists and patients in determining eligibility for its low-cost insulin. The system will alert patients about this low-cost alternative at pharmacy counters throughout the State when patients are filling their prescriptions. Lastly, Sanofi has also committed to continuing its Patient Connection Program that provides free insulin to Wyoming citizens in financial need. Wyoming consumers can sign up for this Patient Connection Program at the following website: https://www.sanofipatientconnection.com/patientassistance-connection
