Lincoln County Historical Website

Ed Lisota and wife and friends from Star Valley have worked faithfully and diligently to have Lincoln County, Wyoming historical information accessible via the web. Cokeville blog, Cokeville Historical Society, Karla Toomer, and several others have volunteered to help provide information to Ed for the website. Eva Clark has written several short histories for Ed to use on the site. Ed spent a day two summers ago photographing every headstone at the Cokeville cemetery, front and back, and then changing the images to be useful for viewing on the internet. There is much work to be done, both with the website, collecting information about history, and on the Cokeville Historical Society. Please let Karla Toomer know if you are able to spend some time on this or any related project! Thanks and CHECK OUT THIS SITE!!

Pigs will cost $150 each. These pigs come from champion show lines and are very competitive throughout Idaho, Utah, Oregon, Washington, California & Wyoming.

Attempted Rape in Montpelier tonight - Be Alert

This just in from Chief of Police Aaron Miller:

Tonight was an attempted rape on a stay-at-home Mom in Montpelier, Idaho by an unknown man with a dark ski mask. Chief Miller stated that there was no rhyme or reason to this attempt and it may be more of a serial-type rapist who may be in the area. Please be on the look out.

It is not known by Cokeville Blog if the attempted rape took place in a public or private place

This notice posted at the phone request of Chief Miller

Congratulations to Cokeville Blogspots own Shelley Gailey!

This email in from Kate Kirk, Biological Technician of Cokeville Meadows NWR

Cokeville residents please come with your questions, comments and ideas. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will hold two public open house meetings in southwestern Wyoming to solicit public input for the development of a Comprehensive Conservation Plan (CCP) and Hunt Plan for the Cokeville Meadows National Wildlife Refuge (NWR). The Service encourages everyone with an interest in these significant public resources to participate in this process and help create the vision for future management of this refuge.

Meeting dates, times, and locations are:
November 17, Cokeville, 6-9:00 pm., Cokeville High School Auditorium, 435 Pine Street, Cokeville, WY 83114
November 18, Diamondville, 6-9:00 p.m., Best Western Fossil Country Inn & Suites, Conference Room, 760 Highway 189/30. Diamondville, WY 83116


I know it is getting close but I would really appreciate this. I think this is a real opportunity for the Refuge to move forward and become much more involved with the community.

Thank you so much,

Kate

Election (Unofficial) Results - Hospital District '09

The South Lincoln Hospital District proposed enlargment to include Cokeville has failed, according to the unofficial results (not yet certified) at www.lcwy.org.

Precinct 2-9 (Cokeville)
For: 65 Against: 159

Rejected: 1


Precincts 1-1 thru 1-8 (Kemerer, Diamondville, Opal, LaBarge, and surrounding rural areas)

For: 897 Against: 184

Rejected: 1 Blank: 1


Total Returned Ballots: 1,308

It did not pass, it could only pass if both voting entities approved the enlargement

WHAT THIS MEANS IS UNCLEAR. The only clear thing is that Cokeville will not be joining the South Lincoln Hospital District, at least at this time. That means no new tax for Cokeville. It also leaves the question of the operation of the Cokeville Clinic unclear - but a joining of the Hospital District would not have cleared this up, either.
