One of the most perplexing mysteries about Wyoming’s 2021 legislative session is how the House could kill a suicide prevention bill. Then, when lawmakers got a chance to reconsider the matter, they rejected a second measure, too.
Trying to keep people from killing themselves shouldn’t be a controversial issue in Wyoming, which has the highest suicide rate in the country. But apparently it is, at least for lawmakers who decided against mandating school programs that train students how to recognize suicide warning signs from their peers and obtain help from adults.
Administrators, teach.

A move to provide suicide prevention training to students in Wyoming schools recently failed in the state Legislature.
House Bill 62 (amendments to Wyoming’s 2014 Jason Flatt Act) failed in the House, 34-25-1.
Monday morning on KODI’s “Speak Your Piece with Darian Dudrick,” Darian discussed the bill and suicide prevention efforts in Cody schools with Peg Monteith, Park County School District No. 6 superintendent; Dan Cossaboon, Cody High School psychologist; and CHS seniors Hannah Blasco and Soffy Anderson.

Cody high school will be putting on the production of
Romeo and Juliet this weekend on January 15th and 16th at seven o’clock at the Wyona Thompson Auditorium.
The director, Annamarie Victor, along with Hannah Blasco and Justin Wiegand, the two stars of the performance, came onto KODI’s show Partyline on Tuesday to discuss all of the fun putting this production on has been.
Victor said part of the reason she chose the famous Shakespeare play was that it has “an underlying message of how hatred can really cause problems for a community and I just thought that we could maybe learn how to get along a little better.”

There’s no debate: Cody’s speech and debate team gave themselves an early Christmas gift with a stellar performance in a competitive tournament.
The Cody High School speech and debate team participated in the Cheyenne East Holiday Classic Tournament, held from Friday, Dec. 18 thru Saturday, Dec. 19. Due to the ongoing pandemic, all the team’s tournaments are held virtually with students being judged via internet video calls.
Unlike most of their statewide peers, who participate from their own homes, the Cody team has been meeting together at the high school. Perhaps that’s their secret to speaking success.
