‘Fun with Radiocarbon Dates’ archaeology talk Nov. 27 (posted 11/16/18)
Special Guest speak Bob Kelly
The Upper Green River Basin Chapter of the Wyoming Archeology Society will be having a meeting on Tuesday, November 27th, at 6:30 pm at the Museum of the Mountain Man in Pinedale. (Note the change of date to the 4th Tuesday instead of normal 3rd Tuesday to avoid Thanksgiving week.) There will be a short business meeting followed by a presentation by Bob Kelly. Everyone is welcome.
The topic of the presentation will be "Fun with Radiocarbon Dates." For the past several years Bob and his associates have been building a radiocarbon database from the lower 48 states. He’ll update the audience on the progress and talk about some of the things they have learned about Wyoming, North America, and even global prehistory from our database of thousands of radiocarbon dates.
Bob has been doing archaeology for the past 45 years in the western US — the last 20 in Wyoming. He is a past president of the Society for American Archaeology, and just completed a term as editor of the Society’s flagship journal, American Antiquity. He just completed excavation of a rockshelter near Medicine Lodge, on Paint Rock Creek, and have worked on the Pine Spring site in SW Wyoming, and surveyed ice patches for archaeology in the Winds, Absarokas, and Glacier National Park in Montana. With others, he is working on a mammoth kill site near Douglas. He is the co-author of two textbooks, Archaeology, and Archaeology: Down to Earth, and the author of The Lifeways of Hunter-Gatherers, and the popular book, The Fifth Beginning: What Six Million Years of Human History Can Tell Us about the Future.

Nationwide grant helps PFAC expand community programming (posted 11/14/18)
Pinedale Fine Arts Council
This fall, The Pinedale Fine Arts Council (PFAC) debuted a new series of community arts programming specifically targeted to local seniors. The new Elder Care Programs began in September with "Firsts – An Evening of Stories by Seniors" where 6 local seniors told long-form stories to a crowd of 70+ people on the Rendezvous Pointe stage. This past month, PFAC premiered its "Here & Now" program – a cognitive-based arts class where 11 seniors and a handful of volunteers gathered at the Sublette Center for an afternoon of still life-painting. Later in the month PFAC presented a similar class in Big Piney.
Hear and Now, which is instructed by local artist and owner of Pinedale Art and Craft Mae Orm, is designed to provide a supportive environment for seniors and their loved ones where they have a chance to experience sensory and intellectual stimulation, communicate through art, and explore various art media including paint, clay, collage and printmaking.
While PFAC has hoped to expand its community programming to target seniors for years, it was receiving funding from The Laura Jane Musser Fund, a nationwide granting organization, which finally got the ball rolling.
"PFAC has been providing free tickets to Sublette Center and the Southwest Sublette Pioneer Center for years," says Kari DeWitt, PFAC Director. "Seeing firsthand the positive benefits those performances have had on our senior population really got us to thinking that there was a lot more we could be doing for our elder population. To be awarded a national grant from the Laura Jane Musser Fund to launch these programs is quite an honor."
Established by the estate of Laura Jane Musser of Little Falls, Minnesota to continue the personal philanthropy, which she practiced in her lifetime, the Musser Grant is a very competitive grant, something PFAC knows all too well.
In addition to "Firsts" and "Here and Now, both of which are offered in Pinedale and Big Piney," PFAC will be premiering it’s third program "TimeSlips" this Spring. Tailored to seniors living with dementia "TimeSlips" uses visual art to open storytelling to everyone by replacing the pressure to remember with the freedom to imagine.
