Snocross racer Taylor Dyess tests out new sled in preparation for upcoming races Dawn Ballou, Pinedale Online! Clark Dyess sent in photos of a sneak peek from son Taylor's first ride on his new 2010 Ski-Doo 600RS. "Our first ride out is none too soon since Taylor's first race in Duluth, Minnesota is now less than 10 days away!" Dyess said. "We are having to go really up high in the mountains to even to get to the snow, which is very uncommon for this time of year. This is all adding to the challenges of getting prepared for Duluth." These photos were taken recently at an undisclosed location in Wyoming. 15-year-old Taylor Dyess has been riding snowmobiles since he was 4 years old. The Pinedale youth comes from a family that loves snowmobile riding and racing and has their own snocross team, which Taylor has grown up as a part of. This season, the Dyess team, Snowfire Racing, will be competing in the entire National International Series of Champions (ISOC) series which has race venues across the United States and Canada. Taylor has been accepted as part of the Ski-Doo X-Riders and has recently become a Ski-Doo Factory sponsored racer. "The sled is still a work in progress in more ways than one. We are busy adding all the extras to have the sled all setup for racing along with all the tuning that comes with a new race sled. Even though in the pictures it looks like Taylor is more on a mountain sled than a snocross sled and having fun, there has been a lot of trying to dial in a baseline for the suspension, carbs and clutches," Dyess said. "These pictures are also the first time anyone has seen our new graphics for this season," Dyess said. "I would express my thanks again for the many sponsors, friends and family that makes this all possible for Taylor and our family! We truly love what we do and without all your support, we wouldn't be able to do it! Thank you very much!"

Sublette County 4-H Through a grant funded by the Daniel’s Fund, 4-H members from the southwest district gathered at the University of Wyoming Campus to spend two-days touring the University and learning about college preparedness. Youth started their two-day venture with tours of college departments where professors and Department Heads showed youth around their facilities, while explaining about degree possibilities, internships, scholarship opportunities, what classes to take prior to college, work study, and career opportunities upon graduation. Youth were able to see first-hand what opportunities await them at the University of Wyoming in regards to advanced education. From there youth met with staff that led them through a personality assessment that linked them to careers that match their personalities, to help facilitate the thought process of selecting a field of study. Financial aid representatives explained the expected expenses for a 4-year degree and resources that could help youth work through those expenses such as grants, loans, scholarships and more. Youth were introduced to college activities including the "Little International" Livestock show, shopping at the Brown & Gold Stores, tailgating and a football game. This educational event included team building and leadership activities along with a community service project at the livestock facilities. Three County 4-H Programs including Sublette, Lincoln and Uinta, were represented at the event. Youth attending from Sublette County included: Nikki Wadsworth, Sydney Pape, Liz Shaffer, Ethan Wolaver, Jenny Beiermann, Logan Barlow, Emilee Sims, Tazia Morgart, Ashlin Applin, Sharon Moreno and Jessie Connor. 4-H is the youth arm of the University of Wyoming’s Cooperative Extension Service, and its state offices are located in the College of Agriculture.
