Another quiet holiday week on the Ranch. Here are a handful of updates:
First of all, a correction… In my week of December 10th SVR News Roundup post, I reported a reduction in loan rates as being applicable to all of the Town of Star Valley Ranch’s (TSVR) water system improvement project (WIP) loans. The latter was incorrect. The reduction to 1% applies to four of TSVR’s State Loan and Investment Board (SLIB) loans. There are a number of other WIP loans held by TSVR from the Wyoming Water Development Commission and SLIB that were not part of this rate reduction. My apologies for the error.
On Saturday, December 30th, the Star Valley Ranch Association (SVRA) posted a plea on their Facebook page reminding folks that the groomed trails on the Cedar Creek Golf Course are only intended for cross country skiing and snow shoeing. Meaning, please keep snowmobiles off of this area! Additionally, SVRA noted a 2-foot snowpack is needed for snowmobiles to even be on the course to prevent damage to the fairways and that all other types of motorized vehicles are not allowed! A video accompanied the SVRA Facebook post [click on the photo below to see it]. Perhaps these folks were just visiting, as they certainly don’t seem to have much respect for our community! Sorry for the rant, however, this sort of thing really puts a burr under my saddle!
A few other quick notes:
Today (December 31st) is the last day to apply for the SVRA Board of Directors vacancy. See this link if interested.
The TSVR Town Hall and offices will be closed on New Years Day, Monday, January 1st.
The SVRA office at Cedar Creek Center will reopen after their holiday break on Tuesday, January 2nd.
Here is the lone Star Valley Ranch calendar item we know of for next week:
Tuesday, January 2nd at 5pm the TSVR Roads Advisory Board will meet upstairs at Town Hall.
Last, but certainly not least—I wish all of you a very Happy New Year! Please be safe if you celebrate tonight. Cheers!
