Sylvester and the Magic Pebble Feb. 10, presented by the Pinedale Fine Arts Council.

PFAC presents Sylvester and the Magic Pebble Feb. 10 (posted 2/1/12)
Pinedale Fine Arts Council
The Pinedale Fine Arts Council is proud to present the theatrical production of Sylvester and the Magic Pebble as performed by the Enchantment Theatre Company on Friday, Feb. 10 at 7:00 p.m. in the Pinedale Auditorium.

When Sylvester, a winsome young donkey, picks up a shiny red pebble, its magic spins a heart-warming story that reveals to him the true importance of family and friends. With life-size puppets, masked actors, magical illusions, innovative sets and costumes, and original musical score, Enchantment Theatre transforms this Caldecott Medal-winning book into a delightful adaptation for the stage. Who will love Sylvester? Everyone from young children all the way up to their grandparents – anyone who believes in happy endings and that there is no place like home.

This dynamic play is based on the novel by William Stieg (author of Shrek). Who could imagine that an artist and illustrator who spent his life drawing sophisticated cartoons and covers for The New Yorker magazine would turn in his later years to writing popular and award- winning children’s literature? But that’s just what happened in the case of William Steig. He started selling his often dark but always funny drawings to magazines during the Depression to support his family, but ended up writing and illustrating the book that won the Caldecott Medal in 1970, the highest honor in the field of books for children. That book was about a young donkey named Sylvester, who was passionate about his rock collection. It was Sylvester and the Magic Pebble, from which Enchantment Theatre Company adapted their new production.

In addition to the public evening performance, Enchantment Theatre will also perform a student show for Pinedale Elementary 1st and 2nd grade students.

Ticket prices for the Feb. 10 performance are $13 for adults and $7 for students (kids under the age of 5 are free). Tickets are on sale now at Rock Rabbit, Pine Street Floral & Gifts, The Cowboy Shop, Office Outlets, Isabel Jewelry, the Big Piney Library and at the door the night of the performance ($2 extra).

Sylvester and the Magic Pebble live in Pinedale is presented by the Pinedale Fine Arts Council with support in part from the Wyoming Arts Council through funding from the Wyoming Legislature and the National Endowment for the Arts which believes a great nation deserves great art, Sublette BOCES, SCSD #1, Western Sublette BOCES #9, the Western States Arts Federation, the Sublette County Recreation Board, the Rocky Mountain Power Foundation, The Wyoming Community Foundation, Shell Rocky Mtn., EnCana, BP and QEP Resources.

The dogs are anxious to hit the trail Monday morning at the Cora stage of the International Pedigree Stage Stop Sled Dog Race.

Legislators want to phase out $1 paper bill for $1 coin (posted 1/31/12)
Bill saves taxpayer dollars and reduces deficit
U.S. Senator Mike Enzi media release
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., joined a bipartisan group of senators today (Tuesday, Jan. 31st) in introducing legislation that would phase out the $1 paper bill and replace it with a $1 coin as a way to save taxpayer’s millions of dollars and reduce the federal deficit.

"Change can be difficult, but changing to more change could really result in savings for our deficit-strapped government. Doing things as we’ve always done has contributed to our debt. We’ve got to latch on to any reasonable handhold we can find in order to climb out of this hole," Enzi said.

The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) has advocated for this change for more than two decades as a way to help reduce government spending. Senator Enzi joined Senators Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) in introducing the legislation.

There are numerous reasons why the for the Currency Optimization, Innovation, and National Savings (COINS) Act should be considered:

•The GAO has examined this issue five times (in 1990, 1993, 1995, 2000 and 2011) and has reached the same conclusion – the U.S. should transition away from a $1 note and move to a $1 coin. The numbers vary in each report, but the GAO has estimated savings of anywhere from nearly $200 million to more than half a billion dollars saved per year by making the transition.

•In addition, virtually every modern economy has made this switch to higher denomination coins. Most major western countries in the world have made this transition without so much as a ripple of impact to businesses or consumers. All saved a great deal of money by doing so. In fact, according to reports from the Canadian government, when they moved to the $1 "Loonie" coin 25 years ago, the country saved at a rate ten times initial government projections. Countries with coins worth more than a dollar include Canada, Great Britain, Japan, the Euro Zone, Australia, Switzerland and others.

•The dollar coin will save money for those engaged in a large number of transactions like large retail stores, vending machines operators and transit agencies. A study by the Philadelphia Transit Agency, for example, showed that it was three and one half times cheaper to process coins than notes.

•The $1 coin is durable and environmentally-friendly. Most dollar bills currently in circulation were made within the last three years. Dollar coins officially last 30 years. To put it another way, a single dollar coin can do the job of at least 17 dollar bills over the course of its lifetime. When the coin, which is made almost exclusively from existing scrap metal, gets pulled from circulation, it is 100 percent recyclable. In contrast, the government disposes of 7,600 tons – that’s 15.2 million pounds – of currency paper each year.

The COINS Act is supported by the Dollar Coin Alliance, a coalition of American small businesses, budget watchdogs, trade associations and private companies with a singular focus of moving the United States toward an economical, environmentally friendly dollar coin.

The bill introduced today is a companion bill to the COINS Act in the House, HR 2977, introduced by Congressman David Schweikert (R-AZ). The House bill currently has the bipartisan support of eleven co-sponsors.

Welcome Mushers banquet Pinedale Stage Stop (28 photos)

The Welcome Mushers banquet in the Pinedale Library on Sunday night kicked off the Pinedale Stage Stop of the International Pedigree Stage Stop Sled Dog Race. The mushers and teams take off on the Pinedale race Monday morning in the Upper Green. The race starts at 10AM.

IPSSSDR - Pinedale Stage Stop – Welcome Mushers! (posted 1/29/12)
Dawn Ballou, Pinedale Online!
The International Pedigree Stage Stop Sled Dog Race (IPSSDR) arrived in Pinedale on Sunday, January 29th, the third day of the race. The nine-day sled dog race started in Jackson Hole, Wyoming on Friday, January 27th. It will end on Saturday, February 4th in Park City, Utah. The race is in its 17th year.

The IPSSSDR was started in 1996 by Sublette County resident, Frank Teasley, to make sled dog racing more accessible to the public. The event is sponsored by Pedigree Food for Dogs, which generously donates supplies of dog food to the stage stop sponsoring towns. Pedigree supports a wide range of programs that promote responsible pet ownership and highlight the contributions dogs make to society. The race also helps to raise money and awareness for immunizations in local communities, patterning off the founding origins of the famous Iditarod sled dog race held in Alaska.

The race starts in Jackson, Wyoming and stops in Lander, Pinedale, Big Piney & Marbleton, Alpine, Evanston, Mountain View/Lyman, and ends in Park City, Utah. Each stage stop host community holds a musher banquet or celebration the night before their race. The banquets are a chance for the public to meet the mushers and socialize. Some of the mushers have been in the IPSSSDR many year and the communities enjoy the annual reunion with the mushers and their families.

Pinedale held a "Welcome Mushers" banquet on Sunday evening in the Lovatt Room of the Sublette County Library. The banquet was free to the public due to the very generous sponsorship of Shell Rocky Mountain Production gas company. Shell also donated $1500 to the Sublette County Public Health Department to help with their immunization program. The evening’s events included a Calcutta to auction off the mushers. A portion of the money raised from that Calcutta was given to the Sublette County Library Foundation. The rest was given to the Pinedale Library to help pay for the Gayle McMurry Kinnison labyrinth which is worked in as an elaborate floor design of the library’s large meeting room.

The IPSSSDR also includes a Junior Musher program to introduce and encourage youth to become involved in the sport of sled dog racing. This year’s Sublette County Junior Mushers are 11-year-old Garett Schamber, a 5th grader from Pinedale Elementary School; 11-year-old Garrett Lowham, a 6th grader from Pinedale Middle school; 11-year-old Haley Boulter, a 6th grader from Pinedale Middle School; 9-year old Israel (Izzy) Seemann a 4th grader from Big Piney Elementary School; and 11-year-old Justin Seeman a 5th grader from Big Piney Elementary School.

The Pinedale Stage Stop begins at 10AM on Monday, January 30th. The Start and Finish line for the race are in the snowmobile parking lot at the Bridger-Teton National Forest at the end of the Cora Highway 352. The teams will run a 35-mile loop course that will end at the same place as the starting line.

From Pinedale, the teams will head to Big Piney/Marbleton for the next stage. There will be a "Meet the Mushers" Banquet starting at 6PM at the Marbleton Senior Center. Everyone is welcome to come and enjoy a spaghetti dinner with wonderful Dutch-oven cooked delights. Then on Tuesday morning, the mushers will run the Big Piney/Marbleton stage of the race, a 54-mile loop race which begins at the Middle Piney parking lot at 9AM. From Big Piney/Marbleton, the teams will head to Alpine.

White Pine Ski Resort listed for $1.4 Million (posted 1/25/12)
Pinedale Online!
Citizens to Save White Pine have listed White Pine Ski Resort for sale and are hoping to find a new owner who can reopen the local ski hill. It is listed for $1.4 million with Jay Fear Real Estate in Pinedale. The ski area is located ten miles from Pinedale

Assets for sale include the main two-story log lodge with restaurant/bar/ski shop, two ski lifts and a rope tow, two-story duplex log cabins available for rent, outfitting permits, grooming equipment, maintenance building, and complete turn-key inventory. The ski area operates under federal permits on land managed by the Bridger-Teton National Forest, so no land is included in the sale, just the business operations.

The ski area operation is under a Forest Service Special Use Permit, under a transferable lease with the Pinedale Ranger District of the Bridger-Teton National Forest. There are 25 ski runs and room for expansion. In addition to winter season ski and snowboarding activities, summer outdoor recreation includes day camps, horseback rides and mountain biking on 14 trails.

In 2010, five local Pinedale business owners invested money together to form the "Citizens to Save White Pine," a business partnership which purchased the White Pine assets and took over the Forest Service permits in order to keep the financially struggling ski area running. The group was able to staff the operations and offer a winter alpine ski season in 2010, however the ski area continued to run at a loss despite their efforts.

The Citizens appealed to the local community for financial help to keep the ski area afloat through either another private buyer coming forward or the formation of a non-profit organization purchasing facility, however that did not materialize. The group then announced in September, 2011 they would not be opening for alpine snow sports for the 2011-2012 season.

The Citizens to Save White Pine went through several meetings with the Sublette County Commissioners requesting that the County purchase the ski area from them and take over the ski area operations wholly or partially with taxpayer dollars. The Commissioners expressed their support for the ski area, however declined to purchase the operation, or provide financial support to a private business. They did express willingness to help further with financial assistance if it were to become a non-profit operation. The owners did not want to become a non-profit themselves, and hoped another organization would step in to buy them out, but that also did not happen. The owners and local community hope a new buyer will step in who has the time and money to keep the ski area operational.

For more information about the ski area, contact Jay Fear at Jay Fear Real Estate, 307-367-2494, www.JayFearRealEstate.com. The property is listed under MLS #11-2848.
