Senator John Barrasso

This morning our telephone rang and it was Wyoming's United States Senator, John Barrasso. (That was a thrill first thing in the morning!) He called to tell me he enjoyed my article in the Kemmerer Gazette last week. You can read the article by clicking here. I'll state what I did in the Kemmerer Gazette article again here, Senator Barrasso is making a heck of an effort to get in touch with the people of Wyoming.

Our household was part of a live town hall meeting Senator Barrasso held a few week's ago, via the telephone. A recorded John Barrasso came on the phone and invited me to stay on the line to join in the live meeting. I was curious so I did and the next thing I knew, I was listening to a "live" Senator fielding questions from all around the state of Wyoming.

This morning when my phone rang, in reference to my article, Senator Barrasso said, "Is this Karla Toomer? This is Senator Barrasso and this is not a recording."
Nice, and he's got a sense of humor too. We had a very short conversation but I hope it's not our last.

New To Cokeville? Lincoln County Landfill Hours

This article is first in an on-going series titled, "New to Cokeville?" of informational articles on public services and recreation opportunities offered in or near the town of Cokeville.

This article is a quick reference for new people to our community on how to use the landfill. It is also a place for the rest of us to check if we forget the landfill's open hours.




The town of Cokeville, Wyoming does not have a town trash pick-up. Different people offer different pick-up services at different points in time. You'll have to ask around to see who is currently offering garbage pick-up if you don't wish to haul your own. You can check with the Cokeville Town Hall to see who holds current business licenses and then contact those individuals directly for rates and dates. However, hauling your own garbage is not very difficult. There is no charge to Cokeville residents for hauling a covered load of household trash to the landfill

Garbage generated from people in and around Cokeville goes to a landfill just east of the Cokeville Cemetery, very close to town. At this time, garbage from most of the Star Valley area is also baled and brought to Cokeville.

You can drive up to the dump during the hours of operation, and drive to the far east side of the building. You then drive into the building and unload your garbage by the back south east corner. There are other signs posted inside, for batteries and I think metal.





The landfill doesn't offer many recycling opportunities. Logan, Utah has different spots for many types of recycling and there is metal recycling in Montpelier, Idaho.

For "vegetative matter" there is a burn pile. Check in at the office located in the baling building before placing items in the burn pile.



"UNPOSTED Exception to being open on Saturday" - The Cokeville "dump" (aka Lincoln County Landfill) is sometimes closed on a Satuday preceeding a Monday that is a national holiday. This may change or may not actually be a rule but by experience, there have been multiple Saturday's that the dump has been closed when there is a holiday on the next Monday.

There are probably other rules and anyone with Lincoln County is welcome to clarify, correct or add additional information to this post. Thank you.

Coates' House Burns Down

So sad to have the Coates' home burn down today. Very grateful all the family escaped the early morning fire. Please let us know what items you need the most, and the quickest. You can post on this site so we'll know.


Thanks to Kemmerer Fire Department for coming over and helping out. Good job Cokeville EMT'S! And, of course, I have a warm spot in my heart for the COKEVILLE VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT. It's amazing, this fire was almost a replica of the most recent training we had, except there were flames and a lot more smoke. Also, training doesn't have the heartbreak of watching people lose almost everything.

My 12 year old son took these pictures today.

In Memory of Kevin Wilde

My husband had a few pictures of Kevin snowmobiling from years ago when he helped Kevin with a website. I had a few of my own.

Message from Dee & Vonnie Wilde and Family

The Wilde family would like to thank this wonderful community, friends and family for their love, kindness, caring and for all the visits, fasting and prayers that have gone out to our family. It has lifted our spirits at our time of sorrow. We can't thank you enough for your support. We love you!
Dee, Vonnie and Family

Cokeville Spring Boutique

Today from 2:30-7:30 and tomorrow from 10-3:00pm in the Senior Citizens Center (basement level of the Cokeville Town Hall) is the Spring Boutique. I had a flier, it seems like it was a variety of little booths, Avon, crafts, jewelry, etc. This is one of those fun things Cokeville, Wyoming does to celebrate the arrival of (or hope for) Spring after a long winter.

Birds and other fun sights...

Made a trip to Evanston, Wyoming. I stopped at the Cokeville Meadows National Wildlife Refuge. There were a few birds around. Back on the road, my daughter spotted lots of birds and animals, we took just a couple of pictures, didn't want to make wildlife move too much as I've read it stresses them this time of year. Randolph, Utah had a couple of signs that looked fun, no birds though. Then, when I returned back to Cokeville, I saw another Bird.

Woke up to snow

Another reminder we live in Southwest Wyoming. Yesterday I sent my kids to school in sweatshirts and they played outside on the trampoline after school. Today we woke up to snow. The gloves went back on.

Fire Meeting - Weather Spotting

At fire meeting last night we learned how to be severe weather spotters in the "Skywarn Spotter Training". It was a two hour course by the National Weather Service out of Riverton, Wyoming that taught how to identify different types of weather and clouds. I hadn't heard of an "All Hazards NOAA Radio" which is available widely at electronics stores. It automatically comes on to warn of all types of hazards in an area, flooding, tornadoes, fires... I will be purchasing one.

The National Weather Service number in Riverton is 1-800-211-1448. You can click here for their website or go to www.weather.gov/riverton

Wilde Family Condolences

Wilde Family, we are sorry for your loss. You are in our families prayers.
Love
The Toomer Family

Russ Thornock

Today, Monday, was the funeral for Russ Thornock, born John Russell Thornock on August 2, 1921. He died April 16, Wednesday. His casket was draped with the flag of the United States of America and he received military honors at the Cokeville Cemetery by the American Legion. He will be missed by his family and the community but the reunion with his sweet wife was certainly wonderful. Condolences to the family.

Junior High Track Meet at Star Valley

Today I attended my first junior high track meet since I was in junior high! It was pretty nice weather with very little wind. I didn't dress real warm and didn't bring real warm jackets for my kids because Cokeville was so warm. I started to get nervous as we got closer to Afton as there was more and more snow still on the ground. But, despite the snow in the pictures, it was ok. It was fun to watch the Cokeville junior high kids compete!

Swimming Lessons

Many elementary age kids had their weekly swimming lesson today. Thanks to Evanston Rec Center for the great job they do! I got to be a bus mom today and everything went smoothly from the elementary school to the rec center and back. We had a great bus driver, great parents and good kids.

#610 Pack Meeting

Nate Halls did a great job as cub master at the Cub Scout Pack #610 meeting tonight!

Affordable Housing Meeting

Spent 4 hours at the Cokeville Town Hall today at the final meeting about Lincoln Counties Affordable Housing study. John Woodward, county planner, has done a great job putting all these meetings on. I'm writing an article for the Kemmerer Gazette so I won't write too much here. I just want to thank Lincoln County for trying to get a good look at our housing picture and for providing information to the public and developers necessary to make informed choices on what to build and what's coming our way.

Way to go Senior Center!

The Senior Center was a very busy place at noon on Thursday, feeding two different groups as well as the seniors/guests and take-outs. Some 30 people ate-in. Well done Shirley, Rose, and Brenda. There were many compliments on the food!

Good Conversation - pass one one!

I recently had a good conversation with one of the employees at the Flying J who had some fun ideas for the town of Cokeville. The employee envisioned a rec center as a first priority for the town and next in importance was a good restaurant with a bank as third priority. Possibly a movie theater could be more important than the restaurant or fall as number 4 but then they decided that the movie theater could go in the rec center, so the list became "top 3" again. We talked about how a town administrator could work on all of these. That position could be in the loop on state funding for community buildings and commercial endeavors and really help make things happen with programs already in place by the state and others.

It was nice to visit with someone who had a vision for our town and was willing to share it. Although visions can differ, if enough people share their visions and are willing to see different points of view, great things can happen. We might all have to give a little but out of small things great things can happen. Hey everyone, have a good conversation and then pass one on!

Where's the sun?

After spending from 3-5pm at the town park yesterday with my kids, I have to wonder where the sun went? Wasn't yesterday just a beautiful day? I had a great time at the park with my kids. The park was packed! I had a nice visit with Vonda, too. The snow was really melting and there were people everywhere! We really don't live in a ghost town.

But today was cold and isn't the snow tonight something? Hard to remember it's April today. Just before the snow started to fly I noticed that my tulips were pushing up through the ground in front of the house. That's encouraging. Maybe spring will come back again some time soon.

Flying J - Changing things up

Today I stopped in at our local Flying J and had some propane tanks filled up. It's looking like good weather for cooking outside may be coming.

So, I noticed that there were large signs posted around the Flying J. Effective April 14, which happens to be today, the restaurant will no longer be open between the hours of 1am - 5am. I haven't ever been up there during those night hours and I guess money is the factor in shutting down the restaurant. I hope no one lost a job, I heard no one did, and I feel bad that people's hours were cut to fit the needs of Flying J's budget. It just seems like with summer right around the corner, those hours might become a little busier and April is an odd time to shut down with tourist season almost upon us. But I guess that's the way it goes.

Fair warning for night birds, don't look to the Flying J for your late night eating, at least for a while!

Wyoming Open Meetings

Last week I stopped in to the town hall to say hi to Carol Reed. She had been sick a while and I wanted to see how she was doing. When I entered the building, there was Carol walking down the hall. I walked up to her and we started visiting. Then, out into the hall came various people. I didn't pay much attention but Wayne Harmon walked by me and I saw Mayor Stan Thompson and Doug Prows. All three of them are on council and three makes a quorum. There were others exiting a room and it appeared a work meeting was ending but Carol and I were headed downstairs and I didn't ask.

When I left the building, I checked the doors to see if I had missed some notice of a meeting when I walked into the town hall. Nope

I typed "Wyoming Open Meetings" in a search engine on the internet, and I am providing an easy link here to the Wyoming State Statute that require notice of all meetings with a quorum present. Here is a brief passage: "Meeting" means an assembly of at least a quorum of the governing body of an agency which has been called by proper authority of the agency for the purpose of discussion, deliberation, presentation of information or taking action regarding public business;

How can a meeting be open when there is no notice given to the public? Notice is required by state statute...I'm not a lawyer so I'm not offering any interpretation here...

16-4-404. Types of meetings; notice; recess.

(a) In the absence of a statutory requirement, the governing body of an agency shall provide by ordinance, resolution, bylaws or rule for holding regular meetings unless the agency's normal business does not require regular meetings in which case the agency shall provide notice of its next meeting to any person who requests notice. A request for notice may be made for all future meetings...




Elected officials might not want to have the public at their retreats and work meetings but the public has the right to know and listen if they choose. Public sometimes aren't allowed to comment at a work meeting and that's ok. It is, after all, a work meeting. No decisions will be made. However all members of the public are still allowed to know about and sit in on most meetings. The only exceptions are clearly outlined in the state statutes. (No, I didn't copy and paste exceptions, you need to find them yourself)

Fire Training

Saturday was a great fire training exercise for the Cokeville Volunteer Fire Department. We met at 9am at the town hall and reviewed in the classroom until 11am. Then we put on full bunker gear and went down to train at the old Robert's office/house. (I don't know the correct name.) Most recently, it's the house that for a short time had that bright orange spray painted door that a very temporary (thankfully) resident had so "artfully produced" for our community to "enjoy."

We trained on primary search, forced entries, horizontal and vertical ventilation, SCBA's, ladders and on team work. It was really good training. Kelly called it quits at about 4:00pm and it took us around 90 minutes to clean all the hoses and put everything away at the fire hall. At 6:30 I didn't think I would move for a week. It's been a long time since I've been on my feet for 9 hours plus all the other - carrying an SCBA on my "back"/hips. Thank you Mike and Kelly for the great training. Thanks to Kevin for getting the food. Thanks to the BRFD fire board for providing the food. I'm glad we don't have those long days very often but yesterday was well worth my exhaustion today.

Public Input Sought by Lincoln County P&Z

The deadline is Friday, May 16.

CES read, read, read-a-thon

Cokeville Elementary continued its tradition of read, read, read for points as they hosted another annual read-a-thon. It was a lot of fun and very well attended. There were delicious pancakes, fun drawings, lots of supervision and plenty of good books. My children love, love, love this night. I think mostly because they have a parent (or two) in their school and although they choose to snuggle in banana chairs or other fun corners over having me read to them out loud, they love seeing me there. I did get to read to a few other of children, though.

Ida did a great job introducing the night, reminding parents to look for lost library books in their homes, and reminding of some other details. Principal Harris and Tina, our awesome school secretary, along with others cooked up some great food for all attending.

The night was fun. Our family really enjoyed it. I'm sure many kids racked up some A.R. points tonight. We have great readers in our family in a large, large, large part due to the school, the teachers and it's reading program. Now, how about a math fair?

Cokeville Volunteer Fire Department

The Cokeville Volunteer Fire Department is the only department on the Bear River Fire District. It consists solely of volunteer women and men living within the district's boundaries. Currently, there is much good equipment which is good news. The unfortunate news is that the volunteers on today's department will be very shorthanded in the event of many situations that can occur in our area.

How can you help? Join the volunteer fire department. We meet the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of every month. Our meeting place is at the town hall. We start at 7pm and can go 1-3 hours, depending on the training happening. There can be one call for service a month or no calls for three months. There can also be two calls in one day. That happened last summer, we responded up grade creek for a wild land fire. The fire was very deep in the timber so we sat around and listened to helicopters. As we were heading "back to the barn" (that's the lingo for parking the trucks in the department bays at the town hall) we got a call for a roll-over. Fortunately, we were almost back to the county road and instead of turning left to head to town, we headed right, up towards the county bridge and were able to get quick help to two roll-over victims. You just never now. That's why we are each issued pagers to carry with us.

We do not sign up for shifts for calls. We are just always on call. If you are in town and your pager goes off, you just go. Now, if you can't go, you can't go. We all understand that. After a while, it's one of those things where what your grandmother told you as a child really comes into play. "How will you act and what will you do in certain situations? You will act your thoughts and priorities." Everyone had a grandmother or teacher that taught that. Well, being a volunteer really puts that to the test. Sometimes it not just the calls for service, but the meetings and trainings which are vital, key, necessary - for success.

Mike Duran is the fire chief and he is very willing to help. Kelly Hoffman and Doug Prows Jr are also officers and very knowledgeable.

We have a great department. Everyone is very willing to help. The board is very supportive and encourages training. They offered all-expense training for the fire schools held twice a year in Cody and Riverton. These trainings are very, very good.

We like to eat together a couple of times a year and last night we had our first "service awards" banquet. Members were presented plaques for their years of service, rounded down to the nearest five. Justin McKinnon, Glen Prows, KayDell Luthi and I received our 5 year awards. Doug Prows Jr. got his 10 year award. Mike Duran got his 15 year award. Janet Prows got her 25 year plaque. Kelly Hoffman was very close (I believe months) to his 20 years so he got his 20 year plaque. Kevin Walker got his 25 year plaque. It was awesome. We also welcomed our newest member, Josh who just moved here with his family to Randolph.

Besides friendship and service the other great benefit is provided by the great state of Wyoming. Wyoming offers volunteer fireman retirement benefits that are paid monthly starting at age 60 for all volunteers who are with a department 10 years or more. So, even if you don't like fire and need a little retirement, come join us. We ask for your commitment and dedication to the department. There is no free ride. But, it is a ride that has great rewards. (Or maybe you'll just like the adrenaline rush!)

Smoking Ban Proposal

If the Town of Cokeville won't take the steps necessary to ban smoking entirely from public places, here is an alternate proposal to at least initially ban smoking but then being able to get off from being the "bad guys":

Suggestion on the smoking ban: Have a smoke free town ordinance made. By ordinance, no smoking in public buildings. However, if a business wishes to be exempt on a year-by-year basis, they may turn in an exemption consideration form along with their business license fees each year. The council would then grant or deny the exemption based on meeting the following three criteria: 1. Exemption form signed, dated and turned in before deadline. 2. Proper business license fees current and paid for year in full. 3. No law violations of any kind by any of the business' owners in the previous year. There would be no "grandfathering" in of smoke-free exempt status, it would be a yearly qualifer.

April Council Meeting

Highlights from the April 2008 Council Meeting. Thanks to Rep. Kathy Davison and Sen. Stan Cooper for coming to our town and for the budget update from the end of this legislative session!

Stewart Petersen, on behalf of the Cokeville Economic Development Steering Committee (CEDSC), presented the idea of renewing the pursuit of a bank to come to town. He said it was ranked high in the town assessment done a few years back, was pursued heavily for a while and was seeming successful in attracting the then "First National Bank" until a 2nd bank pulled, (this is my words not Stewart's) "A dirty rotten one" on the town of Cokeville. That in turn led to a failed courtship of First National Bank. Stewart made a good well-thought out presentation.

Mayor Thompson said, but no motion was made, that a delegation would re-approach the bank idea and Councilman Harmon said he knew one of the bank men we talked of and he would visit with him. As far as the council committing to go after a "Business Ready Grant" (towns plan and build for what they want then attract a business to come) or "Business Committed Grant" (A guarantee a business will come if their building needs are met), no further discussion or commitment was made.

The second issue Stewart presented, was that of the idea of a Town Administrator. He gave compelling reasons why this would be a good position to budget in for. No discussion occurred among the council.


THE FIRST BUDGET READING was held during the middle of the council meeting. There was no public comment time which would have been nice. The figure was mentioned, which I didn't write down. The sewer lagoon was mentioned as the big project - which of course will also be very expensive.

The council's progress on the Town Smoking Ban council was inquired about. Mayor Thompson said he hadn't had time to get into as much fact-finding as he had hoped. He then stated that the council wanted more citizen input maybe in the form of a petition or something, but they were definitely going to look into it a little more.


Being on council is a tough job and I want to thank the mayor and council for the time they do put into their elected positions.

Chamber of Commerce

Wednesday, April 2, 2008 the Cokeville Chamber of Commerce met at 7:30 pm in the Cokeville Town Hall at the Cokeville Senior Center. Stewart Petersen, President, opened the meeting. Clara Dayton, Treasurer, read the account balances. Bills have been paid including Traci Pinter being reimbursed for the Easter Egg Hunt expenses.

A big thank you to Traci Pinter and sister Katie Martinez for the very fun Easter Egg Hunt. The girls organized the event on a small budget allocated from the Chamber and the town and it was a lot of fun! Thanks ladies.

Report - Stewart met with Lee Chaloner (?) at the Kemmerer Rock Quarry, Cumberland Hearth and Stone. There wasn't quite the size we were looking for of a rock for the town sign. We are looking for about 12 ft. wide and 7-8 ft. tall. It will sit on a base of about 24 feet. The sign will be really visible. Stewart also has the WYDOT paperwork for the permit and he needs to get with John Reed for the exact location. The sign has to have a 30 foot crash barrier distance. The sign will be placed angular.

Clara Dayton will do the 4th of July program. She says she has a new idea she's going to try. Stewart thanked Clara for keeping this program going.


Karla Toomer will again be the director of the Cokeville Rendezvous Arts and Business Fair. She will do the planning, advertising, and setting up the event but will be gone the 2nd half of July and all of August. Clara Dayton will take over director duties on the days of the event and is looking for someone else to help with those duties. The Chamber will be hiring overnight security guards for Friday night. Other volunteers are needed to help run the event on July 25-26. More information forthcoming.

Again, the Chamber will work hard to have the event compliment the time schedule of the Pioneer Days celebration on Saturday in the town held by the LDS Church. Friday the Chamber will plan most of the local talent shows including the 2nd annual "Miss Cokeville Contest". On Saturday, vendors may sit at their booths as early as they want but the actual event will be advertised as being open from approximately 1-6, after the Pioneer Days parade and program have ended. Other groups, including volunteers of a 5K run last year and the Rodeo Club have also successfully hosted events for visitors and locals to enjoy during this time of increased town population.

Stewart reported on the "Town Sign" Project and progress and reported that a match grant of $5000 has been awarded to the Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber has $3000 in reserve from a few years back. They are still around $2000 shy on materials and will ask the Town Council on Tuesday's council meeting to contribute to the "Cokeville Sign". Volunteers will be needed for some of the labor. This will be a big, beautiful sign.

Stewart will get with Carol Reed, who was absent due to illness, for help on finishing next year's budget proposal to give to the town of Cokeville. The Chamber is given a minimum of the lodging tax monies collected to use on tourism related projects. The use of this tax money is State regulated. The town usually gives additional funding to the Chamber from their monies received from the State of Wyoming each fiscal year.

Cokeville Economic Development Steering Committee

The Cokeville Economic Development Steering Committee was formed a few years back by the town council to look at some issues that were on the horizon and may need to be addressed sooner than later. Those issues included land acquisition for residential growth, growth planning, zoning issues for the Planning and Zoning group to be aware of, and general advice based on group consensus for the Town Council to be aware of. It was a set of helping hands for the council, focusing on economic development, which the council had previously not had the manpower to ever address.

The CEDSC called themselves the "Steering Committee", meaning in a positive way to help "steer" the town in a positive direction, one which would help avoid negative future consequences due to poor or lack of planning.

In 2007 at least one of the council members took to calling the committee the "Stirring Committee", thinking it clever to negate all the good works the group did (on a volunteer basis) and instead focus on the fact that the committee asked the town council to take a direct look at real issues facing them down the road. This process of course required thought and perhaps discussion (gasp!) on behalf of the town council.

The group regularly meets on the first Tuesday of every month. Attendance is open to anyone interested. It reports on a regular basis to the council and still strives to be positive, helpful, and working in the direction that improves the town's viability for future generations by making recommendations to the Town Council. On its own, the Cokeville Economic Development Steering Committee has no power or authority. They have some budget money from the council for land acquisition, which would need to be council approved.

To date, the Town Council and CEDSC worked on one major project together, along with the P&Z. That project was setting up zoning for the highway district. The new zoning was approved on 3rd reading in 2007, although it hasn't been added to the town website on the ordinances and planning pages. The groups agreed that the zoning was necessary and important and agreed to not make variances for a business that wanted to come in that was definitely not a fit for the carefully planned, limited "Corridor of Impression" of the town of Cokeville.

The Town Council and CEDSC are currently working on a 2nd project, that of obtaining a town administrator. Consensus is being built. Currently, the town is in the budgeting process and a 3rd police officer as well as a 3rd public works person are being batted around. It would be most beneficial to the town to hire a town administrator to run the town on a day to day basis. This would relieve town clerk NaDene Dana of duties not normally the job of a town clerk. Additionally, the administrator would be there full-time, and the front office could be kept open.
The mayor and council have no regular office hours, and it is not a council's job to run the town's day to day operations. A town administrator could actively work on grants to revitalize Cokeville, from quality of life issues, to downtown improvement. The administrator could also help with master plans, update maps, and make information much more accessible to the general public than is currently happening. There job would be to say, "let me help you find the answer" not "why do you want to know".

Woohoo! A post!

So, I've left this site alone since 2005 for anyone to make any Cokeville comments on. There have been none. ZERO. Zilch. Sooo, I will use it to place periodic updates on Cokeville and some of the different groups I hang out with. If you don't like what I write, don't read read my blog.

There is a town web-site but it is such an empty shell. Such a big difference from when Susan Fiscus started it and ran it as a hobby. Last year, 2007, Susan offered to give the town the website www.cokevillewy.com as the town site if they would run it and pay the hosting bills and name registration. The council had a proposal from Nathan F. to revamp the site and be the webmaster. There was a start up fee of $500 (paid last year to Nathan) to have the site remade and town information put in. Then the town agreed to pay a monthly maintenance fee that would also go to domain hosting of the site. The town pays the webmaster $150 a month for those services. So, with all this said, there seems to be a communication breakdown. The monthly council minutes aren't posted. No notices of meetings of the council are posted. I don't believe anything is sent to the webmaster. There really isn't anything on the website at this time. This is a great service to community members that a town can offer but it's only as good as the information that is on it.

There is a little something from the Police Department.
As written by the police department:
"Mission Statement
The Mission of the Cokeville Police Department is to provide a safe community for our children to walk the streets, play in the parks, and attended school without fear of being harmed. To provide the highest quality of service threw high visibility policing, community orientated police involvement, and traffic safety programs."

and this bit from the P.D.

"The Cokeville Police Department over the year has suffered many tragedies my of which are to terrible to revisit here but these events have help lead the Cokeville Police Department to improve and become a quality Law Enforcement Agency."
