(Lander, WY) - 1330 KOVE AM / 107.7 FM's Coffee Time host Vince Tropea had Lander Assistant Mayor RaJean Strube Fossen on today's show, where she gave us further details on the Table Mountain Living Community, Lander’s City owned healthcare facility.



The living facility was recently approved to apply for a $987,895 infrastructure grant at the November 30th Lander City Council meeting, which would pay for sewer, water and gas power.



Early estimates during the initial feasibility study put the total cost of the facility at $11 million, but is now projected at $13-15 million, which would include construction, contingencies, and one year operating costs.



The facility design and construction is set to begin in June courtesy of ERDMAN, and while The Creeks Memory Support Residences had originally partnered to manage, the Lander Housing Authority will now act as the managing agency.  A public competitive proposal process was followed where Vetter Senoir Living, current operators at Westward Heights, was ultimately selected as the operator of the care facility.



Check out the full Coffee Time interview with Assistant Mayor Strube Fossen below, where she also gives us the background on how the facility got started, and what we can expect in the facility's future in terms of timeline.

The discussion will begin at 5:00 PM next Thursday, December 9th in the Carnegie Room at the Lander Library, and should last about an hour and fifteen minutes, according to the Facebook event page.



The Death Cafe will take place as soon as the discussion comes to an end.



So, what is a Death Cafe? It's best to let Liz describe it in detail, but basically, "A Death Cafe is a scheduled non-profit get-together for the purpose of talking about death over food and drink, usually tea and cake."



Lightner, who will lead the Death Cafe discussion, also founded and operates Better Your Goodbyes, a business that aims to "Provide support, comfort, and guidance to a person and their loved ones before, during, and after death, so that they may have the most loving, peaceful, and painless experience possible."



Her role as an 'end-of-life doula' also caught the attention of Time magazine, which interviewed Liz moments before her appearance on Coffee Time.

For those unaware, Via Ferratas are “permanently cabled cliff-side trails that allows non-technical climbers to have a guided climbing and traversing experience in vertical terrain,” according to the Sinks Canyon Master Plan description.



The proposal has turned into quite the topic of debate, with hundreds of Fremont County citizens attending the various meetings discussing the matter.



Lander Chamber Executive Director Owen Sweeney and Chairman of the Committee for the Via Ferrata Sam Lightner spoke in favor, citing what they see as a potential economic development and possible tourist draw for the Lander area.



Sinks Canyon Wild volunteers Tom Troop and Bob Oakleaf, a retired Game and Fish Biologist, spoke on behalf of those against the proposed Ferrata, expressing concerns about the peregrine falcon nesting sites in the vicinity of the initially proposed location, as well as the overall concern about the appearance of the climbing route.



Check out the full interviews with both parties below, with Owen and Sam starting things off, and Tom and Bob coming in a few seconds after the 35 minute mark.

(Lander, WY) — When you visit a museum and look at the artifacts protected by glass or pieces of art mounted on the wall, it's easy to not think about how the item got there.



If you are like me at all, you're focused on the textures of the paintings or who from history could have worn the artifact, not who carefully transported the item, potentially great distances, so I could experience it.



Lander resident Reid Schell owns and operates Handle With Care, a fine art and artifact transportation service. He's transported a Congressional Medal of Honor, paintings headed to the Louvre Museum in Paris, a 150-year-old wine collection and so much more.



He's actually the reason we currently have the exhibit “Native Americans of Wyoming’s Wind River Country” currently at the Pioneer Museum in Lander.



The pieces are from a collection by Joseph Sheuerle which features the artist’s notes and sketches on the back of his portraits. The unique framing and presentation of his work allow viewers to appreciate both the polished portrait and his notes and sketches.



h/t Pioneer Museum - “Native Americans of Wyoming’s Wind River Country”



The exhibit arrived in Lander last fall and will be on display through the end of September 2021.



In 2016, the Montana Historical Society hired Handle With Care to package and transport dozens of framed pieces by Scheuerle from Cincinnati to Helena, Montana.



As Reid prepared the works for transportation, he realized many were created in Fort Washakie and was determined to find a way to share the art with Fremont County.



He approached the Montana Historical Society and the Lander Pioneer Museum, and over several years of collaboration and cooperation between the three, a loan of more than 20 portraits to Fremont County Museums was set.



In the final step, he donated his high-end art transportation services to ensure the safe delivery of this local portion of the collection to the Pioneer Museum.



Community News Manager Amanda Fehring sat down with Reid for an episode of Fehring in the Field. Listen to our entire interview below.
