Sage & Snow Garden Club The Sage and Snow Garden of Beauty Committee was delighted to find Rick and Jenny Williams’ beautiful gardens tucked in a quiet space along the banks of the New Fork River. Only their neighbors would know about this beautiful spot, and we are so happy to have found it and honor them with a Garden of Beauty Award. Jenny loves plants and grows them in interesting spaces. She loves lavender plants and they are sprinkled throughout her gardens. She grows tomatoes outside and inside their large hoophouse. Kale and spinach are thriving in grow tubs around the porch and hoop house. Peas line a fence surrounding a whimsical garden of daisies, petunias, and knickknacks. Their yard has a variety of interesting shrubs, including Mugo pines, lilacs, chokecherries, dogwoods, blue willows, and crabapples. Their large hoop house is filled with cucumbers, zucchini and patty pan squash, corn, asparagus, tomatoes, peas, watermelon, cantaloupe, peppers, carrots, and flowers tucked into every available space, including petunias, marigolds, alyssum, and violas. The hoophouse has a metal frame with a 6 ml poly cover and is cooled with a large air conditioner and fans. One large raised bed is constructed with concrete blocks and the other has a wood frame. Inside the hoop house are two large containers filled with compost and worms to create and collect worm castings to enrich garden beds. If Jenny notices aphids in the hoop house, she immediately releases lady bugs to clean up the aphids. She uses a liquid fish/kelp fertilizer to give plants a boost during the growing season. Like so many gardeners, Jenny finds peace and vitality working with her gardens. SCSD #1 Vehicles for Sale – Sealed Bid Notice (posted 8/21/2025)
Wind River Skate Club Wind River Skate Club (WRSC) is beginning their fall 2025 season and class registration. WRSC brings U.S. Figure Skating Association (USFSA) classes for all ages and experience levels to Sublette County. WRCS is a 501 (3) (c) Non-profit organization. The club is run by an elected Board of volunteers. WRSC employs two full-time coaches with coaching assistants comprised of advanced-level skaters to assist in coaching each class. The club averages between 60-70 skaters who range in ages from preschool up to senior levels. Skaters in the lower levels learn the basic fundamental skills of skating, and each level builds on the skills from the previous level. Skaters age 5 and under should start in Snowplow Sam to begin their skating adventure. Ages 6 and up will begin at the Basic 1/2 level. Session 1 classes begin September 22, 2025. Register online on the club’s website: www.windriverskateclub.org/ Ages 5 & Under: Snowplow Sam class teaches the very basic fundamentals of skating. Students age 5 and under will learn through games and play how to march, bend, glide, and even how to fall correctly and stand back up. Skaters are encouraged to wear warm clothing, including snowsuits, gloves, and some sort of protective helmet such as a bike or skiing helmet. Classes are held for 30 minutes twice a week, and skaters will have an additional 30 minutes of free time to play on the ice before or after class to hone their new-found skills. Basic 1-6: Basic Skills classes are broken up into Basic 1/2, Basic 3/4, and Basic 5/6. These classes are based on the skater's skill level and not necessarily on their age, so don't be surprised if your older or younger skater finds themselves in a class with different aged skaters. Typically, a brand new skater age 6 and up will start their skating at the Basic 1/2 level. Our coaches know what they're looking for when placing our skaters, and the goal is to advance our skaters based on their skill level. Skating is a foundational sport, so we all have to walk, or march, before we glide. Classes are held for 30 minutes twice a week, and skaters will have an additional 30 minutes of free time to play on the ice before or after class to hone their new-found skills. Pre-Low-High Freestyle: Pre-Freestyle class is where all those Basic skills really begin to come together. Classes will meet for 45 minutes twice a week and build up those progressive skating skills, transitions, spins, and jumps in preparation for Low & High Freestyle. Low & High Freestyle classes meet for one hour twice a week and focus on smoothing out those skills, adding more technical spins and jumps, and bringing out those more advanced elements we know our skaters have in them. Pre-Synchro & Synchro: Kind of like synchronized swimming, but on much colder, firmer water, pre-synchro and synchro are team classes in which 8-20 skaters perform together. Skaters learn elements such as block, circle, line, wheel, and intersection. These classes are for skaters who have mastered the basics, and coaches can place skaters who are interested into the correct group. Ice Dancing: Ice dancing combines the techniques of skating with the artistry of dance. This class meets for 30 minutes once a week where skaters will focus on the interpretation of the music through precise steps done in a particular pattern to various tempos and rhythms such as the Waltz, Tango, and Foxtrot. Coaches can help place skaters in this group as their skill levels increase. Theater: Theater class combines the grace of figure skating with the excitement of theater and dance. Tell a story with your fellow skaters through movement and song. This class is open to all skill levels, so don't be afraid to really challenge yourself or your skater and bring music to life on ice. Adults: Remember the excitement of learning a new skill when you were younger? Well, our Adult class proves that age really is just a number. Many of our adult skaters are beginners with little to no skating background. Adults meet for an hour twice a week where basic skills are taught, honed, and choreography is learned. Participation in the winter and spring ice shows are absolutely voluntary, so don't be afraid to learn a new skill, even if it's just to recapture that thrill of learning. Solo: During our ice shows, many skaters from all levels including our very new skaters in Snowplow Sam up to Freestyle and even Adults may enjoy performing a solo. Private lessons are required, at the skater's expense, in order to put together the choreography, music, costumes, and skating skills needed. All soloists, or their parent/guardian, will need to commit to helping set up/tear down the shows that they perform a solo in. Soloists in the ice shows may also consider using their number for one of our area competitions, though not required. If interested in performing a solo, speak with your skater's coach to find out how to best highlight your skater's skills. Off Ice Training: Off-ice training helps skaters to improve their overall athleticism, strength, balance, and flexibility, which can enhance their on-ice performance and conditioning. It helps keep them safe and prevents injuries when they're on the ice. Class runs for 45 minutes once a week in the Archery Room upstairs. 2025 Class Schedule: Monday AM High Freestyle: 6:15 AM-7:15 AM Adult Class: 12:00 PM-1:30 PM (Beginner 12:00-12:45 and Advanced 12:45-1:30) Open Freestyle: 3:00 PM- 4:00 PM Snowplow Sam, Basic 3/4, Pre Free: 4:00 PM-4:30 PM Basic 1/2 and Basic 5/6: 4:30 PM-5:00 PM Tuesday Open Freestyle: 3:00 PM-4:00 PM Freestyle Low: 4:15 PM-5:00 PM Overlap/Power 5:00 PM- 5:15 PM Freestyle High: 5:15 PM- 6:00 PM *Freestyle Low and High will overlap during the 5:00 PM-5:15 PM time so each class will get an hour on the ice.
