(Lander, WY) – The KOVE 1330 AM / 107.7 FM Today in the 10 interview series Coffee Time continued today with host Vince Tropea, who recently spoke with Joey West and Matt Hartman. West, who has directed over 20 productions for Central Wyoming College, is directing CWC’s upcoming production of “Peter Pan: The Musical,” and Hartman will be portraying Mr. Smee. h/t Joey West h/t Joey West h/t Joey West h/t Joey West In addition to Hartman giving us a teaser of some of his character’s dialogue, West shared what will make CWC’s production of “Peter Pan: The Musical” special. Firstly, this rendition will replace the offensive nonsense words used during the Native American inspired song/dance number between Peter and Tiger Lily that happens after Peter saves them and they become “blood brothers,” with actual words from the Arapaho language. West reached out to frequent CWC actor/member of the Northern Arapaho Tribe, Ron Howard (whose daughter will be portraying Tiger Lily) and his local teacher friends to help with this endeavor, and the words in that song/scene will now be in Arapaho. As far as West knows, this is the only production of “Peter Pan: The Musical” that has done something like this. This will also be the first year that a CWC Peter Pan production will have flying characters, after West reached out to the ZFX Flying Effects troupe, which has worked with all of the major Peter Pan productions across the country, as well as shows like Aladdin, Mary Poppins and many more. West shared that the flight director and owner of ZFX said this was the first production that he has seen to incorporate a local Tribal language, and that this was his first time doing a show in Wyoming, which make the production even that much more exciting. The performances will take place at the Robert A. Peck Arts Center Theater in Riverton on the following dates: Thurs, Fri, Sat, Mar. 14, 15, 16 @ 7 p.m. Sun, Mar. 17 @ 2 p.m. Mon, Mar. 18 @ 7 p.m. Thurs, Fri, Sat, Mar. 21, 22, 23 @ 7 p.m. Tickets are available online or at the box office, and are $12 for adults (ages 19-64), and $10 for students and seniors (ages 3-18; 65-99).

(Lander, WY) – The KOVE 1330 AM / 107.7 FM Today in the 10 interview series Coffee Time continued today with host Vince Tropea, who recently spoke with Superintendent Mike Harris and Parent Liaison Matt Jacobsen from Fremont County School District #1. While we normally like to keep Coffee Time conversations light and fun, Harris and Jacobsen stopped by this time to go into a serious, in-depth discussion about recent drug use concerns in the school district. On March 1, Superintendent Harris and the FCSD #1 school board sent out a letter to the community addressing these concerns, after a “drug-related medical event” occurred a few days prior, involving a student on school property. That incident led to much concern amongst community members, who shared many of those worries on social media, which then prompted the response from the district. Harris and Jacobsen discuss many aspects of those concerns/questions from the community, ranging from: the number of overdoses for the 2023/24 school year (it should be noted this discussion only references drug related medical events that occurred on school property/during school hours, and does not take into account overdose reports in the home or elsewhere), the school’s emergency response team that handles these incidents when they do occur on school grounds, the laws that prevent the district from disclosing medical information/incident specifics involving minors to the public/media, the types of drugs that are being abused, what the difference between Kratom and the Delta 8/Delta 9 variants are, how students are accessing these drugs, common signs of student drug use, the programs and events the district has developed/coordinated to help bring more awareness to the issue, and what we as a community need to do to come together to address these concerns. The district will also be hosting a community resource event on April 4 at the community center (exact details are forthcoming), hosted by Melinda Cox, the Community Project Manager for Project AWARE (Advancing Wellness and Resiliency in Education) and SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration). You can get more information on that upcoming event from Melinda or Matt, whose emails are shared below.
