Governor Mark Gordon’s series of Town Hall meetings addressing mental health care in the state are continuing, with the next meetings scheduled for December 15 in Pinedale and December 18 in Gillette. The discussions are open to the public and aimed at fostering open conversations with community members and partners about efforts underway to increase awareness of available resources and improve access to care. Representatives of the executive, legislative and judicial branches are invited to attend, as well as local elected officials. "I have been impressed with the honesty and engagement we’ve seen from community members during the town halls we have already hosted. I’m looking forward to these additional conversations," Governor Gordon said. Governor Gordon is prioritizing improving access to mental health resources. The Health Care Task Force is working to identify barriers, opportunities, and gaps in the network of mental health and substance abuse care in the state.

Jill Mary Tegeler, born on October 2, 1942, in Milwaukee, WI, departed from this world on November 30, 2023, in Pinedale, WY. Jill's journey began with a passion for education, and she graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater with a degree in Education. Her adventurous spirit led her to Cheyenne, WY, where she taught at Saint Mary’s High School. It was there that she met the love of her life, Don Tegeler, and on June 15, 1968, they exchanged vows in Milwaukee. In 1973, Jill and Don made their home in Pinedale where Jill transitioned her career to real estate and found great success taking over Allen Agency and becoming an integral part of the Wyoming Real Estate Association. Jill's commitment extended to community service, contributing to the Sublette County Chamber, The Food Basket among many others. Her faith was central to her life, and she served in various roles at Our Lady of Peace Catholic Church. Later, she continued her volunteer work with students at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church in Tucson during winter retreats. Jill had a remarkable ability to connect with people, and she cherished the many friendships she cultivated over the years. Her love for Wyoming was manifested in her enjoyment of hiking in the Wind River Mountains and cross-country skiing. Jill was a devoted supporter and fan of her children and grandchildren, attending their sporting events with enthusiasm and spirit. Jill is survived by her brother, Jack Bardeen of Eagan, MN, her son, Kelly (Denise) Tegeler, daughter Kerry (Jay) Majhanovich, and three granddaughters: Shelbi Tegeler, Maggie Majhanovich, and Mandy Majhanovich all of Pinedale, WY. Services will be held Saturday, Dec 16th at Our Lady of Peace at 11 am, with lunch to follow at 42 Broken Hills Dr in Pinedale. In lieu of flowers, Jill's favorite charities were The Food Basket of Pinedale or Our Lady of Peace in Pinedale. Jill’s memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her, and her legacy of kindness, adventure, and compassion will be a lasting tribute to her remarkable spirit.
Shad Cooper, Fire Chief, Sublette County Unified Fire Sublette County Unified Fire is currently recruiting volunteer firefighters. Each of the six fire stations in Sublette County are staffed with dedicated volunteers who take their responsibility seriously. Imagine if there was no one available to help when someone calls 911 to report an emergency. That is why it is so important to recruit volunteer firefighters and help protect our neighbors and communities when it is most needed. Volunteer firefighters come in all shapes, sizes, ages, and genders. There are men and women of all ages who volunteer in a variety of roles. Retirees, teachers, industrial workers, business owners, health care workers, retail sales workers, laborers, administrative professionals, ranchers, students, and many other professions are represented on the fire department. We have several members who have retired from their careers and joined the fire department as a means to stay active in the community. We also have several junior firefighter cadets who gain valuable experience and learn about civic responsibility. Everyone has skills that are important and beneficial as a volunteer firefighter. Sublette County Unified Fire responds to far more than just house fires. We also answer calls for motor vehicle accidents, wildland fires, hazardous materials incidents, specialized rescues, serious medical accidents, and many other types of emergencies as well. Many of our volunteers appreciate the community involvement and the opportunity to engage in rewarding activities like school presentations, parades, and fireworks displays. Other volunteers like the camaraderie and friendship in the fire department. Others may like belonging to something important with rich history and traditions. Many others volunteer for personal fulfillment and sense of self-worth. Still other firefighters may like the excitement of helping during an emergency. Whatever the reason, there is something for everyone at the fire station. Anyone who is interested in becoming a volunteer firefighter can fill out an application and enroll in the upcoming firefighter recruit academy. The recruit academy starts in early January and provides new recruits with the necessary basic knowledge and hands-on training to be safe while responding to emergencies. As part of the academy, firefighters will learn about things like fire behavior, suppression, hoses & nozzles, ropes & knots, ladders, extinguishers, rescue tools, technical rescue skills, and fire investigations. The recruit academy is designed to work around the schedules of the volunteer firefighters so it doesn’t conflict with work schedules or family activities. For more information about becoming a member of the fire department, please contact the administrative offices of Sublette County Unified Fire at 307-367-4550. We are happy to answer any questions from anyone interested in joining. Deadline for PAPO 2024 project applications set (posted 12/2/2023) |
