Shakespeare in the Park - July 3 (posted 7/1/09)
Special 10th anniversary production of King Richard II
Pinedale Fine Arts Council
The Pinedale Fine Arts Council is proud to present the annual "Shakespeare in the Park" on Friday, July 3 at 6:00 p.m. in the American Legion Park (free). Returning to Pinedale will be the award-winning Wyoming Shakespeare Festival Company who will be performing the classic Shakespearean history "King Richard II" as part of the company’s tenth anniversary. The company will be joined by guest artists Hugh Dignon, Margo Whitcomb and Neil Worden, for their special 2009 Summer Tour.
William Shakespeare’s RICHARD II is a powerful play that balances between tragedy and lyricism while illustrating the transition of authority from one ruler to another. King Richard may be all-powerful, but he is not strong enough to govern without the formidable aristocratic establishment. Irony lies in the contrast between the anointed ruler, Richard, who is subverting public order, while the blasphemous rebel, Bullingbrook, upholds legality, protects the commons and proves to be a strong leader who ushers in a new era.
Don’t miss this chance to experience RICHARD II, a symphony of super-sized personalities colliding, in the beautiful park setting of the American Legion Park. Bring a picnic, and bring the kids. The show is free but donations are always welcome.
"Shakespeare in the Park" is presented by the Pinedale Fine Arts Council with support from the Wyoming Arts Council, The National Endowment for the Arts, the Town of Pinedale and the Sublette County Recreation Board.
For more information and a summary of Richard II please visit www.pinedalefinearts.com or call 307-367-7322.

Pre-cut firewood available at Elkhart Trailhead/Trails End Campground (posted 6/30/09)
Beetle trees cut and decked in 8-foot sections ready for the taking (with a $5 permit)
Bridger-Teton National Forest
The Pinedale Ranger District of the Bridger-Teton National Forest recently completed tree cutting operations in the Elkhart Trailhead/Trails End Campground site, located 15-miles north of Pinedale, Wyoming at the end of Forest Road #740 (Fremont Lake Road/Skyline Drive).
Due primarily to bark beetle infestation, 250 trees have been cut, limbed, and decked at this site and are now available to the public for removal with a valid firewood permit issued by the Forest Service. The logs are cut into 8-foot sections or less and the decks are located immediately adjacent to roads and parking areas for easy access and loading.
Firewood permits may be obtained at the Pinedale Ranger District Office, located next to Ridley’s Grocery Store, during regular office hours (Monday – Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM). The cost is $5.00 per cord with a minimum of 4 cords for $20.00. Firewood cutters are reminded that all firewood removed from the National Forest requires a valid Forest Service firewood permit and each load is required to be properly tagged before the wood is removed from the Forest.
For further information, contact the Pinedale Ranger District at 307-367-4326 during office hours.
Construction workers accidentally cut through a major phone cable while digging along the highway near the Wyoming Department of Transportation building near Pinedale on Monday. The break cut phone and internet service to hundreds of customers from Ehman Lane to the Kendall Valley. It took repairmen several hours to reconnect all the phone lines to restore service.

Severed Phone Cable (posted 6/29/09)
Hundreds of customers lose phone and internet service
Dawn Ballou, Pinedale Online!
Construction workers accidently cut through a major telephone cable Monday morning near the Wyoming Highway Department building west of Pinedale Monday morning. The construction company did "Call Before You Dig" to get buried lines located, but some unexplained misunderstanding led to the incident. Water pouring in the hole added to complicate things by submerging the line after it got severed.
According to CenturyTel spokesperson Kim Valiquette, the severed cable resulted in loss of phone, fax line and high speed internet service to hundreds of residents on the west side of Pinedale. Service was out for several hours to residents from the Industrial Park, over to near Daniel, and north to Cora and into Kendall Valley.
The outage also affected KPIN 101.1 FM radio by disrupting their live morning program broadcast. Owner Bob Rule drove out to his antenna on the top of Mt. Airy southwest of Pinedale and set up a makeshift studio next to his transmitter. He took up a small mixer, a microphone and a CD player and went live, doing "Post It and Sell" (late) broadcasting from on top of Mt. Airy.
Phone service was restored around 7:00 PM Monday evening.

Prescribed burn to begin in Maki Creek area (posted 6/29/09)
Smoke may be visible in the mountains west of Daniel
The Bridger-Teton National Forest plans to begin a prescribed burn in the Maki Creek-North Cottonwood area of the Wyoming Range on Monday, June 29. Residents of the Upper Green River Valley may see smoke from this fire.
Crews hope to ignite approximately 250-acres.
Maki Creek is located between North Cottonwood Creek and South Horse Creek on the Big Piney Ranger District.
The primary objective of the burn is to reduce fuel build up and restore aspen to the ecosystem. Some mechanical treatments were conducted previously using chainsaws to fall conifer trees that were encroaching on the aspen stands. Additional benefits of the prescribed burn will be to improve forage and help disperse elk off of nearby feedgrounds.
This fire is a cooperative project supported by additional funding from the Wyoming Game and Fish trust fund and the Wyoming Wildlife Natural Resource trust fund. Helicopters will be utilized to light the burn using aerial ignitions techniques. Ground crews with drip torches will also work to ignite the fire in the proper locations. Actual ignition will be dependent on meeting strict parameters for weather and fire behavior conditions.
Smoky conditions may exist in the immediate area and smoke may be visible from the towns of Pinedale, Daniel, and Big Piney. There are no road or trail closures associated with this project.
For more information on the fires please contact the Big Piney Ranger District at 307-276-3375.
