GENERAL INFORMATION
ENERGY WISE WYOMING
With natural gas and electricity prices predicted to
rise sharply this fall and winter, several state agencies are coming
together in a public information campaign to encourage Wyoming residents
to do what they can to use less energy. The campaign will also work to
raise awareness of the LIEAP program that offers heating bill assistance
to state residents.
The Energy Wise Wyoming campaign will encourage residents to conserve
energy, to take steps to weatherize their homes and to take advantage of
state programs designed to help people with their heating bills.
Wyoming’s Low Income Energy Assistance Program is an underutilized
tool to offer help to Wyoming residents with winter heating bills.
Residents qualify for LIEAP if their income is less than $1,863 a month
for an individual, $2,508 for a household of two and $3,798 for a family
of four. Administered by the Department of Family Services, LIEAP
delivered benefits to about 11,000 applicants last year.
Those who don't qualify for LIEAP but want to make energy efficiency
improvements at home can find a contractor participating in Home
Performance with Energy Star for a comprehensive home assessment that is
similar to a Weatherization audit. Residents can contact the Wyoming
Energy Council at 307.742.9924 for a list of qualified contractors or
visit www.wyominghomeperformance.com and click "Homeowner" for more
information.
To learn more about both state and federal weatherization and energy
efficiency resources, visit: www.wyoenergy.com, or www.eere.energy.gov.
ATTENTION BIG PINEY CAMPERS:
Big Piney District Ranger Greg Clark of the Bridger-Teton National Forest has temporarily closed the Sacajawea and Middle Piney Lake Campgrounds due to the access road being completely washed out. The road flooded approximately 300-feet below the Middle Piney dam , preventing vehicles from making it to the Middle Piney Lake. There is no estimate as to when the Sacajawea or Middle Piney campground will be reopened. For information on the current condition of the road, contact the Big Piney Ranger District at 307-267-3375.
GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK ROAD WORK
A road improvement project will take place on the north park road from the Lizard Creek
Campground in Grand Teton National Park to the Snake River Bridge at Flagg
Ranch in the John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway. Project work will
begin on or about Monday, July 28, and continue through the summer/fall
season. This project is necessary to improve travel conditions and ensure
safety for the millions of motorists who use this road each year.

CENTER FOR THE ARTS:
Marie Watt’s “Blanket Stories” (THRU AUG 31)
Working with wool blankets, artist Marie Watt suggests the wide and deep tale of the human experience, from birth, when we are received in a blanket, to old, when we are swaddled again. A column of blankets 20 feet high is at once precarious and warming. A bronze sculpture of folded blankets brings to mind the ephemeral nature of memory. Blankets sandwiched between layers of cedar remind that thin sheets acquire strength and substance when collected together. “Blanket Stories” hangs through the end of August in the ArtSpace Main Gallery, 240 S. Glenwood. Free. Presented by the Art Association: (307) 733-6379 or www.ArtAssociation.org.
CENTER FOR THE ARTS:
:Suzanne Morlock’s “Ghosts in My Machine: (THRU AUG 31)
A gigantic woven red cone, like some sort of magician’s hat, blows through the corridor. A loosely knitted female form tapers to a mermaid’s tail before trailing off in tangle on the floor. A tangelo orange sits on a shelf, its rind stitched together in a futile attempt to ward off its inevitable disintegration. At turns mildly amusing and mildly disturbing, Suzanne Morlock’s “Ghosts in My Machine” feels like a stroll through some deep recess of the artist’s mind where she stores images from childhood dreams, nonspecific yearnings, and petty concerns. The installation hangs through Aug. 31 in the Theater Gallery, 240 S. Glenwood. Free. Presented by the Art Association: (307) 733-6379 or www.ArtAssociation.org.

“Art” by Yasmina Reza
Off Square Theatre Company’s 2008 Studio Series continues with a play that poses the age old question: “What is art?” When a man buys a modern painting for a relatively large sum, his friends react in varying ways, spurring a provocative, thought-provoking and often very funny discussion. The Independent of London called Yasmina Reza's "Art" “funny, sophisticated, stylish, stimulating and moving,” while The London Times deemed it a “classic comedy.” Staged in the Center’s new Studio Theater, above the Theater Lobby at the far end of the skyway, “Art” begins at 8:00 p.m. nightly, with an additional 2:00 p.m. matinee on Saturday, Aug. 30.
