◆ The LUCDA is Dedicated to Early Childhood Development in Western Wyoming.
The Lincoln Uinta Child Development Association (LUCDA) offers free developmental screenings to the children of Lincoln and Uinta counties.
The screenings happen twice a year, with the next ones in Star Valley planned for this Friday, April 9, in Afton and Thayne; and on Friday, April 23, in Alpine. These are for children ages three through five.
The LUCDA website says that they check each child’s vision, hearing, physical development, social skills, language, speech, problem solving, and behavior.
The association’s other main function is a preschool. Victor Noles, a classroom teacher and screener for LUCDA at their Thayne location, said, “I’ve had other experiences in other teaching areas and I can tell you right now this is the highest quality program that I’ve ever worked with, and would encourage everyone to at least come get the free developmental screening, and if then we can provide any
◆ Star Valley Soccer will be challenged with road trip.

“I thought our boys played really hard,” stated Head Coach Trevor Spencer. “We had a good week of prep leading up to the match. We had a lot of chances but we definitely did out-shoot them. We even had two penalty kicks that we missed. When you lose a game and miss two of those that’s certainly a big factor.”
“… If we can find Jesus in … ordinary, nothing really special tasks that we all have, we will be able to find him in those times that we face trials.” Pastor Tammy’s 2021 Easter message
The Easter message from the new pastor of Star Valley United Church was simple – the kind of simple where you forget the question.
“Jesus is waiting for us in the ordinary places of life.”
For Pastor Tammy Heimgartner, who shepherds the ELCA Lutheran/Presbyterian congregation of Star Valley, there never was a question of “Where is Jesus?” For the little girl growing up worshipping in the Good Hope Lutheran Church on a hilltop overlooking dry farms in north central Idaho, God was part of daily life.
