Good morning, Casper.
🎭 Culture
Casper's Nicolaysen Art Museum will host the world premiere of 'SOUND,' the fourth installment of Oakley Boycott's 'SENSES' series from Oct.

🎓 Education
Natrona County students requested more CTE courses and are asking why additional classes have not been offered.
School officials have not yet explained the gap—leaving the issue unresolved.
🏥 Health
Cowley music teacher Mandie Asay, who taught for nearly 20 years, is in critical condition in a Billings ICU after an allergic reaction to a blood thinner caused a pulmonary embolism—she now struggles with chronic pain and severe complications.
Her sister said Mandie asked 'Can I sing?' and her recovery remains uncertain as she stays on medical leave.
Data from The Trace show that 252 Wyoming residents over 70 died by gun suicide between 2009 and 2023—an average of 29 per 100k that is the highest in the nation.
Gov. Mark Gordon has said the state will improve mental health support to help vulnerable older adults, especially in rural areas where care is limited.
