GENERAL MANAGER MESSAGESince the election, I’m often

asked how the results will affect WyomingPBS. We have always enjoyed strong support from our state and national elected officials. I believe that will continue into the future. No one knows what position President-elect Trump will take on public broadcasting. However, Vice President-elect Pence was awarded the “Champion of Public Broadcasting” award in 2014 by “America’s Public Television Stations”

for his support of public broadcasting as Governor of Indiana. So I remain hopeful.

We’ll be visiting Jackson and Lander this month for special screenings of “Highpointers.” The details are below my column. I urge you to come out and meet the charming stars of the program, Mackenzie Scurka and Fallon Rowe.

It’s our December Membership Festival, so you’ll see some very special “specials!” If you missed the premiere of “The Drift” in November, you can watch it on December 4 or 7. But we also have two new local productions premiering. “Wyoming Chronicle” has a 90-minute “Holiday Special” produced at the University of Wyoming. Chronicle also has a new program, produced with the Wyoming chapter of AARP, which looks at “Senior Ready Communities.” Like all of our local programs, these were produced through the generous support of the Members of WyomingPBS.

Please use our December Membership Festival to renew your WyomingPBS membership or even to make an additional gift. As I say on-air (over and over again), your belief in WyomingPBS and your support make it happen.” Thank you.

I wish the happiest of holidays for you and your family.

Terry DugasGeneral Manager

Station HappeningsWyomingPBS will be hosting screenings of the documentary “Highpointers” December 14 at 7pm in Lander and December 15 at 6pm in Jackson. “Highpointers” is a warmly-told family film which introduces the little known sport of “highpointing,” a quirky American hobby for nature lovers and climbers. Stars of the film Mackenzie Scurka and Fallon Rowe will particpate in a panel dis-cussion following the screenings to talk about the challenges they met when they summited Wyoming’s Gannett Peak,.
