Rafting, the NWC ropes course and climbing are just a few of the activities children can participate in during the DELTA summer camps.

NWC DELTA program offers Outdoor Adventure Camps This summer kids, ages 1017, and their parents can get away from iPads and video games to discover the outdoors through a variety of Outdoor Adventure Camps offered by the Northwest College DELTA program. The DELTA (Dedicated to Experiential Learning Through Adventure) camps are led by certified instructors and provide all necessary outdoor equipment. Day camp choices include outdoor adventure camps, a climbing camp, plus family fun weekends designed for kids and parents. A five-day Wilderness Adventure Overnight Camp is offered for those looking for a more in-depth experience. Youngsters age 10-13 can get acquainted with outdoor

activities available in Northwest Wyoming during Outdoor Adventure Day Camps offered June 22-26 and July 20-24. After getting to know each other on the NWC Challenge Rope Course, campers spend a day each rock climbing, whitewater rafting, hiking and caving. Pick-up and drop-offs are scheduled each day in both Cody and Powell. Cost is $240. The July 13-17 Climbing Camp is open to both beginners and experienced climbers age 10-13. Campers spend a few days on real rock and then raft a day on the river to relax. They learn climbing safety, geology of rock climbing areas, proper belay techniques, climbing knots and basic-toadvanced rock climbing move-

ments from a professional climbing instructor. Pick-up and drop-offs locations are available in both Cody and Powell. Registration is $280. The Wilderness Adventure Overnight Camp will trek through the Beartooth Wilderness on three trips – Aug. 3-7 for boys age 11-14, Aug. 1014 for boys age 15-17, and Aug. 10-14 for girls age 11-14. Campers will hike an average of 4-6 miles a day, learning about low-impact travel, campsite selection, tent construction, map and compass use and leave-notrace principles. The first day is spent on the high ropes course at the Northwest College Field Station. Cost is $330 and includes all meals.

Children can bring their parents along for Family Fun Weekends June 27 and 28 or July 25 and 26. Together they’ll learn the basics of rafting and climbing from 8 a.m.-3 p.m. each day to be able to safely enjoy these activities on their own as a family. Cost is $225 for a parent/child team. Most DELTA camps require a 50 percent deposit at registration. Photos and videos from last year’s camps can be viewed on the DELTA Adventure Camps Facebook page. For more details and registration forms, visit nwc.edu/sites/ outdoorcamps, call (307) 7546115, or email keith.mccallister@nwc.edu or deltaadventurecamps@gmail.com.

Japanese teacher begins fellowship at Northwest in August Natsuki Kobayashi from Nagano, Japan, will start a year-long teaching fellowship at Northwest College in August and become the first resident of the college’s new Intercultural House. Kobayashi holds a bachelor’s degree in sports and health from Niigata University and certifications as an athletic trainer and personal trainer. Interestingly, her Pilates and English studies were undertaken in the United States. The Big Horn Basin community will have several opportunities to meet Kobayashi during her residency. She’ll

be enrolled in NWC classes and featured in public programs throughout her stay, and will also team-teach Japanese language studies NATSUKI with Milo Asay, KOBAYASHI an ESL instrucNWC teaching tor at NWC. fellow “Natsuki’s contributions will add challenging but rewarding enrichment to our already-popular Japanese language classes,” Asay said. A Cowley native, Asay lived

in Tokyo for 18 years and said he is eager to augment this cultural dimension to his students’ experience of the language. Intercultural Program Manager Emelee Volden concurred, saying in addition to Kobayashi’s contributions to NWC’s newest language program, her year-long residency will be a fitting way to launch the college’s new Intercultural House. “The Intercultural House will provide numerous opportunities for cultural exchange,” Volden said. “And having a fellow-in-residence from Japan will give NWC students and

community members opportunity for more in-depth exploration of East Asia and the Japanese language.” Kobayashi and Asay will team-teach First Year Japanese I from 11-11:50 a.m. Monday through Thursday beginning Aug. 24. Second Year Japanese II is offered from 2-2:50 p.m. the same days. Community members interested in auditing or enrolling can call (307) 754-6073 to register. Kobayashi’s fellowship was negotiated through the Alliance for Language Learning and Educational Exchange.

CodyNITE

RODEO season begins June 1

By AMBER PEABODY Staff writer Stock contractors Maury and Nikki Tate are looking forward to another great year when the Cody Nite Rodeo opens for its 77th season on June 1. “A lot of kids are coming back and we’re looking forward to seeing what the new kids coming in can do,” he said.

“We love to see them get better and progress.” Popular announcer Kade Rogge will be here for the month of June, while Powell auctioneer Josh Linebaugh takes over for July and August. Nite rodeo fans also will recognize Oklahoma bullfighter Justin Josey, who is back for his second season. He will be

joined by Tate Rhodes of Montana. “They are good bullfighters and have a chance for great careers,” Tate said. A variety of clowns will rotate through the three months. Tate is hoping the rain will stay away as the season nears. “It seems like Cody can only get so much rain and I hope it’s over now,” he said. continued on page 8

Cody Nite Rodeo

Last year rain caused the rodeo to be cancelled four times during the season, something Tate doesn’t want to see repeated. In the 10 seasons prior, it had only been cancelled twice. “It rained eight days in a row from 6 to 8 p.m. which was frustrating,” he said. The ever-popular Park County Night, now Big Horn Radio Network Night, will be Saturday, June 6. Locals will be able to get in for $5. “It’s our thanks for supporting the rodeo,” he said. “I’ve never seen a place so passionate as they are here in Cody.” On July 5-7, five cowboys who got their start at the Nite rodeo return to host clinics for up and comers. Instructors include: •Five-time Bullfighter of the year Dusty Tuckness. •Three-time PRCA Clown of the Year Justin Rumsford. •Six-time World Champion saddle bronc rider Dan Mortensen. •World Champion and longtime PBR bull rider Cody Custer. •Three-time national finals qualifier in bareback riding Heath Ford. “It’s a neat thing,” Tate said. “They all like to come give back.” The clinics will be free to anyone who competes in the Nite rodeo on a regular basis. “It’s exciting for them to learn from these guys who’ve been so successful,” Tate said. One event not taking place

Don’t miss any of the excitement. The Cody Nite Rodeo is June 1-Aug. 31.

this year is the Kanin Asay/ Dusty Tuckness Bullriding and Bullfighting Classic, usually held in mid-June. “The way things worked out they couldn’t be here when we needed to do it and we didn’t want to put it on without Dusty and Kanin,” Tate said. The nightly rodeo runs through Aug. 31. Gates open at 7 p.m. with action starting at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for children ages 7-12.

Beauty of horses on display during June art show For the month of June, the Carbon County Arts Guild in Red Lodge will feature the artwork of Wyoming artist Phyllis Waltman in the Main Gallery. The art in this exhibit will feature the horse. Waltman will show the wild mustangs in their natural setting as well as the domestic horse doing jobs such as rodeo, jumping and polo. Throughout all of Waltman’s work, she shows the expressiveness of the equine character, tacked up or running free. Her work has appeared in shows across the country including the Churchill Downs Museum, home of the Kentucky Derby. In addition, Waltman’s art has been the subject of arti-

cles in Equine Images, The Artist’s Magazine, Western Horseman and Equine Art News. Her work was featured in Equine Vision and has graced the cover of the Denver Polo Club Annual Magazine for several years as well as issues of Horse West. The exhibit is free and open to everyone during the Guild’s normal hours, Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sunday, noon-5 p.m. Meet Waltman on Saturday, June 6, 3-5 p.m. at the Arts Guild during an artist reception. The reception is free and refreshments will be served. For more information, call the Arts Guild in Red Lodge, (406) 446-1370.

In the stars May 31-June 6

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The theme this week is: quality connections. It’s not about how smart, rich or talented you are; it’s about how you make others feel as you take part in the group. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You know what you need to do, but how do you stay motivated? The important thing is that you try something to keep your spirits and interests high, and if that doesn’t work, try something else. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You like to leave things better than they were when you found them, though this is not always possible, especially in matters of love – an inherently messy game. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Why do the prettiest flowers bloom for the shortest period of time? Commemorate the time while it’s still fresh in your memory, and then move on. The best is yet to come. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You used to have trust issues, but this week you’ll prove that you’re either legitimately over them or you’ve decided to put them aside. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). What is the best praise you’ve ever received? What could you do that might lead to more such comments? This is the direction you should go this week. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Most people are comfortable with predictable patterns they can repeat on a regular basis. You’re trying to create this kind of consistency for a loved one. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your new vision includes not only what you’ll do, but also who you’ll be in the process. There are feelings and moods you’d like to bring into your world that haven’t been there for a while. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have an extensive family of friends. Some you choose; some choose you. You like them all, but they don’t always get along with one another. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You would love to restructure your days, but you feel caught in the current routine. Talk it over, map it out, try to see it from a different angle. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your attempts to resolve a dispute through reasonable discussion will be brilliantly effective. You’re good at this! You could even be asked to mediate for others. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Barreling on without sensitivity doesn’t make music; it makes noise. This week, you’re like a fine musician, simultaneously trying to blend, speak out and find your groove. If you were born this week you’ve helped countless people learn and grow. Once you’ve given what you can and the recipient of your kindness goes on, you usually don’t think about it anymore.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Uptimes and downtimes are both part of the cycle. Lately you have a tendency to feel strongly, even passionately about whatever part of the curve you happen to be in, and that’s the way to be. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Instead of creating principles based on the circumstances you happen to find yourself in, you’ll refer to the principles that worked for your ancestors and mentors. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). In the early week, you’ll put yourself through a kind of self-prescribed treatment. Emotional wounds are like physical wounds. They need to be opened and cleansed with fresh water and air. CANCER (June 22-July 22). People advise you to confront your fears – and yet it often happens that years of living will mature you quite naturally until your fears, confronted or not, become nonissues. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Progress isn’t always improvement. You’ll be the voice of reason this week, possibly saving your whole crew. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re better for the support of your people, but it’s the opposition that makes you stronger. This week’s controversy will make a good story later. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). What you’ve done seems worth it, though you haven’t given it a thorough pros-versus-cons study. You’ll do that in the days to come. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The more you own the more you have to maintain. That’s why this week you’ll think twice before you make purchases, and you’ll be very careful about what you add to your life. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). So one person doesn’t particularly get you or treat you well. That is in no way proof that you’re ineffective. It’s one person’s opinion. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There’s something you let go at least twice before and then regretted the choice. It will come up again later this week, presenting you with a chance to stick up for you and yours. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Stress and anxiety come with physical side effects that often do not accurately represent the level of danger present. Minimize where you can. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The right time to move isn’t always the moment when you’re best equipped and most experienced and capable. Your impulses and intuitions won’t lie to you. If you were born this week the year brings so many instances of you doing what you didn’t think you could. Your comfort zone expands because of all the time you spend outside of it.

ramblings By: René Huge

Somebody asked me the other day how long I’d been writing Rene’s Ramblings. I said about four years, but now that I actually stop and assess time I realize it’s been closer to six years. That same person also asked, “How do you come up with a topic time and time again?” Good question. Some days are harder than others, that’s for sure. Today is one of them. First of all, one of my favorite things about the smart phone is that I can talk to it and record ideas I have when I have them. I

Rain, rain go away, come again another day use the Note feature on my phone a lot, especially when I am driving for my day job. Funny what interesting ideas the wide-open spaces on Wyoming roadways can elicit. Sometimes, however, they’re not funny. Obviously my daily life provides plenty of fodder and dictates the temper I write through and the subjects I choose. You might laugh to know – I am actually a pretty private person even if I do air much-ado-aboutnothing on a regular basis. It is still nice to maintain a little anonymity in all of this, if at all possible. I find it’s easier to pick a topic and write about it when I have an overall positive vibe going. Then I don’t feel like I have to edit out the sad or negative or any apparent struggles. You know, keep it private. But sometimes I know I fool no

one. I know it’s in my voice. This is life – and much as we’d like – it’s not always pretty. Maybe it’s got something to do with all this rainy, gray weather we’ve been having. Generally I love rain – except when it has found a way into my house, then I don’t love it so much anymore. The continual lack of sunshine grows tiresome. (To think at one point I thought I could live in Alaska year round.) The normally soothing pitterpatter of raindrops on my rooftop now awakens me and leaves me stirring in a semi-state of anxiety, wondering if more water is finding its way into my home. This is extremely tiring when it rains for a week straight. So now here we are, drying out, problems fixed and once again the sun is shining, which is a welcomed sight. Flowers, yards and gardens
