Presentation in Pinedale on Jan. 23 Sublette BOCES Sublette BOCES along with the Sublette County Library are pleased to present SaturdayU, a offering from the University of Wyoming, the event will be held Thursday, Jan. 23, 2020. The theme of this program is "A Low-Carbon Future for Wyoming Fossil Fuels?" Wyoming exports the bulk of its abundant energy resources and thus is subject to market and policy developments beyond its borders. An increasing number of states are adopting polices that mandate the utilization of renewable and clean energy resources. The federal government continues to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from industrial facilities, including coal-fired power plants and natural gas separation plants. This Saturday University program will explore the global, national and local decisions that affect our communities. Experts from the School of Energy Resources will explain current UW projects in western Wyoming as well as provide an important overview that will shape a community discussion about what the coming energy transition means for Wyoming. Three professors from the University of Wyoming School of Energy Resources will be presenting, with Dr. Jean Garrison, UW Director of the Office of Engagement and Outreach moderating. The evening begins at 5:30 pm at the Sublette County Library Lovatt Room, Pinedale with complimentary hors d'oeuvres and beverages. At 6 pm, Mark Northam, Ph.D, Executive Director, UW School of Energy Resources (UW-SER) will present his talk, "The Coming Energy Transition: Implications for Wyoming and the Globe." This presentation will frame the discussion regarding the energy transition that is underway as it highlights the implications these changes have for our communities and state. At 6:50 pm, Scott Quillinan’s, Geologist and Director of Research, UW-SER, presentation is titled "Techological Challenges and Opportunities for Wyoming: Ongoing Projects Advanced by the University of Wyoming School of Energy Resources." This talk will introduce several initiatives advanced by SER that seek to develop new technologies and new markets for Wyoming resources: Wyoming CarbonSAFE, approaches to net-zero and carbon negative coal combustion technologies, novel non-thermal uses for Wyoming coal and the ongoing critical mineral exploration to support the quickly growing demand for electric vehicle batteries. At 7:40 pm, Kipp Coddington, director of Energy Policy and Economics, UW-SER will give the final presentation of the evening, "What SER’s New Policy Center is Doing to Help the State of Wyoming." In this presentation Coddington will describe how The Center for Energy Regulation and Policy supports policies decision-makers and scientists by creating a conduit for research to provide interdisciplinary information and knowledge to contribute more directly to Wyoming’s citizenry and economy; by providing effective policy development and assessment, and by facilitating partnerships with public, private and non-governmental entities.

Alumni please sign up soon Bill Johnson Notice to all Pinedale graduates and near graduates. We will be hosting an All School Reunion on Rendezvous weekend at the old home 20!! We expect all of you to head back to this same ole' Sublette County dirt that once again will recharge your soul! As soon as you enter The Green River Valley and see the beauty of those mountains again you will say, "Damn it's good to be home!" The Rendezvous Pageant is the 2nd Sunday in July. The days leading up to the pageant are busy too. The Mountain Man Museum puts on talks that tell of the Indian way of survival and the same for the mountain man. There is the annual Community Church pancake breakfast. The Rendezvous Parade is held on Saturday and is always a big event. We intend to line up all our Veterans and honor them in this parade. If you can walk down Main Street and endure all the noise and applause, that will be big! If you can't walk that far we will push you in a wheel chair or haul you in a side by side ATV. You will all be honored! Bring your military cap. There will be Indian dancing and singing in the park and dozens of booths selling their wares. If that is not enough there are nightly rodeos for entertainment. That lists the rendezvous side of things. What about reunion events? We will sign you in Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning. If you prepay $100 for a couple and $50 for a single you will not have to stand in the slow line but can grab your packet and proceed. We would like you to prepay as soon as possible for the following reason. We can't properly plan without knowing about how many will attend. This is especially critical for the food and the entertainment. For instance, we sure don't want you to go hungry! Also, we might try to hire some professional musicians for a big event if we have enough people and the money! New music for the newer grads! Older music for the older grads! One evening we might plan a story telling event at the school auditorium. Many untruths will be told I'm sure! Possibly we could schedule a golf tournament and a horse shoe tournament. Maybe others would like to play Pinochle or Bridge. We are presently open to new ideas so let us know if you have one. Special committees of "go getters" will make most of the final decisions. We will try to line up a big barbecue or smaller ones if that makes the most sense. There will be Pinedale graduate musicians that will get together and perform. Karaoke would be cool! Maybe we can line up boats to give rides to the head of the lake. Driving up Skyline Drive to Elkhart Park never gets tiresome and most of the road is freshly repaved and widened. Forget Green River Lake. That wash board road will ruin your car! It's maintained by the Forest Service! We presently have $4,100 in our all school reunion account which is money left over from the last all school reunion. Make out your checks to 2020 All School Reunion and then write in the year you graduated or would have graduated. That will help us keep track. If the money is a problem, send less. We want all of you to be here! Mail to P O Box 2354, Pinedale WY 82941 These are tenuous times. For everyone's good we need to reconnect and spread the Love. It may be our last chance to do so! Bill Johnson We still have their addresses from last time but many are not current addresses. It is a big job to find everyone by mail. This time we are doing it mostly on Facebook. Whether you have a computer or not it will be YOUR job to look up the "Pinedale All School Class Reunion" Facebook page to get updates. The reunion is scheduled for the 9th, 10th, and 11th, of July. The Sunday pageant is on the 12th. There is no formal offer, but if Big Piney- Marbleton graduates want to join us for the barbecue, music, and other events then we encourage it. We need to build a better bridge with our Sublette County friends. This could be a great start! We all like to visit don't we? You just have to let us know and pay your fair share. Finding a room on Rendezvous week-end could be a big problem for the Tourists! You have the advantage of knowing way ahead of time that you need to reserve a room. Do it! Many of you can stay with friends. As a last resort bring your air mattress, sleeping bag, and a small tent. We can help find you places to camp. Ya’ all come back here, ya’ hear! No excuses just like in school! Our reunion organization works like this. We are trying to find class leaders for every class that will attempt to get in touch with their classmates by computer or by mail or both. All of you know where someone lives that we don't. Help us by contacting them. Otherwise a lot of people are going to be left out! Find out who your class leaders are and work with them. Later on a list of all the class leaders will be posted on the reunion page. We will have special committees that put together the events. So far we have very little representation past 1989. That needs to change!
