Mule deer community conversation in Pinedale Dec. 18 (posted 12/11/2024)
Wyoming Game & Fish
PINEDALE, WYOMING – The Wyoming Game and Fish Department invites the public to an upcoming mule deer community conversation in the Pinedale Region on Wednesday, December 18 from 5 pm to 9 pm at the Pinedale Public Library, 155 S.Tyler Ave, Pinedale, WY.
This discussion will allow landowners, hunters and wildlife enthusiasts to engage directly with Game and Fish to share their insights and discuss the future of Wyoming’s mule deer management. The meeting will initiate with a brief presentation, followed by opportunities for participants to ask questions and visit with wildlife biologists and game wardens about the conservation and management of local herds. Light snacks and soft drinks will be provided.
Mule deer are a highly-valued species in Wyoming, drawing widespread interest from hunters, landowners and wildlife enthusiasts. However, mule deer populations have declined across the West for decades. Game and Fish is committed to understanding and conserving this iconic species.
Based on the results of a 2023 hunter attitude survey, Wyoming hunters would like more of a voice in the future of mule deer management. These focused conversations are designed to connect the public with wildlife managers to facilitate discussion and provide space for diverse perspectives.
Mule Deer Community Conversations are being held across the state this fall. To learn more about Wyoming’s mule deer and ongoing conservation and management efforts, visit the Game and Fish mule deer webpage at https://wgfd.wyo.gov/wyoming-wildlife/mule-deer-wyoming#getinvolved
Sublette County Hospital District’s Women’s Health Program thrives (posted 12/11/2024)
Sublette County Hospital District is proud to announce the continued success of its Women’s Health Program, led by Rauli Perry, Board-Certified Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner. The program is making significant strides in providing essential care and expanding services for women in the community and beyond.
One of the most impactful additions is the availability of colposcopies at the Pinedale Clinic, enabling women to receive follow-up care for abnormal pap smears locally without the need to travel out of town.
The program has also introduced new services, including the insertion of IUDs, birth control implants, and hormone therapy. Midlife support for women navigating perimenopause and menopause has been a particularly significant focus, with nearly half of Perry’s patient care dedicated to these stages of life. The program is also celebrating a heartwarming milestone: a patient struggling with fertility issues is now pregnant.
Perry is currently accepting new patients and encourages women who have questions to schedule an appointment. Perry sees patients Pinedale on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays and in Marbleton every Wednesday. Additionally, Gros Ventre Women’s Health with Dr. Roberts and Dr. Lafaro continue to visit Sublette County regularly.
For more information or to schedule an appointment, contact the Sublette County Health by calling 307-367-4133 to schedule for either clinic.
2024 Pinedale Turkey Trot has 149 participants (posted 11/30/2024)
R. Craig Sheppard
149 registered turkey trotters toed the line for the 33rd annual Pinedale Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning, November 28th. The temperature was 5F degrees at the start of the race with a little breeze. It was a beautiful "bluebird" day, but a little chilly, which brought a sense of urgency to getting through our original 3-mile over the river and through the woods course. Thus, the warming fires again were a big hit! Ellen Sheppard oversaw the hospitality garage where she had plenty of warm coffee and cold water ready for the early birds.
As usual there were all types of exercisers participating. We had participants from a 5-month-old Otto Lovejoy to 7 trotters in their 70’s. If they come back next year we will have some in the 80’s. Won’t that be great! We had no bikers (I wonder why), but we had walkers, runners, run/walkers, trotters, and baby strollers. There were people from 7 different states (Texas, Utah, Montana, North Carolina, Florida, North Dakota and Wyoming) and 10 towns or cities in Wyoming. There were also plenty of dogs around to help pull their owners through the course. Cody Wright and his dog Hazel were the first dog and owner team to come in at a time of 25:24.
Even though this is a fun run/walk, we would like to recognize a few individuals. Mike Lutz of Pinedale once again came in first in the running division with a fantastic time of 19:31 followed by Kris Holmes (22:01) . High-schooler Alex Gosar came in 3rd with a fantastic time of 22:14. Alex is a member of Pinedale’s high school basketball team. Their coach Bizzy Gosar encouraged the team to participate in this year’s Turkey Trot. I bet they will be glad to be back in the nice warm gym. The female runners were led by Hayley Ruland in a time of 24:10. She was followed by Judy Vitolo (24:44). All of our hardy participants are winners for getting out and getting some exercise on such a perfect Pinedale morning.
The walking division is the hardest one to judge on whether they walked the entire course or ran and walked it and it is the largest division. Again, this year the first true walkers were Karen and Dan Stewart in 40:53.
This year there were a lot of school age participants. It is so good to see so many out doing physical activity. Many were in strollers when they first participated in this trot. Maybe someday they will be named as the winner of the Pinedale Turkey Trot. If not just being out and pushing their limits on a beautiful Pinedale morning will be a great Thanksgiving memory.
I know there are many names not mentioned in this article, but it is fun to see so many friends, families, school alumni, former band students and visitors gathering to take in the beautiful scenery and fresh air of Pinedale. Thanks go out to the Pinedale schools for use of their tables, bull horn and cones, Race to Raise (formerly the Pinedale Half Marathon) for use of their timer and to the Pinedale Roundup and Pinedale Online for advertising. A special thanks to the Bank of Jackson Hole for posting our event on their marquee. I especially need to thank my wife Ellen for putting up with my many passions of which one is hosting the Pinedale Turkey Trot.
This was the 33rd running of the Pinedale Turkey Trot and with all the favorable comments it seems to have developed into a great annual tradition for the Pinedale community and their Thanksgiving guests. Don’t forget it is never too late to get in shape for the 34th annual Pinedale Turkey Trot which will be held Thanksgiving morning 2025 at the Sheppard’s house at 9AM. See you then!
