Who: Fees: Contact: Officers: Purposes: By Dani Kakalecik Campus Editor Two competitive teams in the agriculture area are preparing for spring season competition. The Laramie County Community College competitive horse judging team just finished its season in December, taking seventh place out of 19 teams in Oklahoma City. This semester the members are taking time to rebuild their team to compete in their spring event in April. Wayne Miller, equine studies instructor, said all his students who participate on the team are doing very well and looking forward to their upcoming event this spring. Bryan Wilson, agriculture instructor, said the livestock judging team is also taking this early part of the spring semester to rebuild the competitive team. The team competed in Denver in January, but only one student participated in the competition. The team also competed in the Colorado State University’s mock livestock judging contest as well as Casper College’s mock contest and will compete in Nebraska for their next event in February. The team needs more involvement to be competitive in its events. Wilson said one member who stands out is Tanner Nauta, who is also the president of the Block and Bridle Club. Both coaches said they felt the judging teams give students a productive way to be actively involved and stay in school. Anyone can compete on these teams, so if you are an interested in judging horses or livestock, drop by the Ag Building. Anyone who is majoring in agriculture or has a general interest in agriculture regardless of his major. A $10 fee pays national Block and Bridle Club fees for four years. Ron Pulse, agriculture instructor and Block and Bridle advisor, may be contacted at rpulse@lccc.wy.edu or by phone 307-778-1192 Tanner Nauta, president; Ty Walter, vice president; Brandy Brown, treasurer; Chad Briggs, collegiate horseman’s representative; Cole Smith, public relations officer; Tycee Mohler, student adviser; Kylie Foster, livestock judging representative; Katelin Malm, livestock show team representative; Joslyn Steele, secretary; Shannon Smith, horse judging representative; Taylor Hodden, ranch horse team representative. Block and Bridle is a club that brings together students who have an interest in agriculture, like the Student Government Association for the ag department. Coming up, the club will host Wyoming FFA’s state convention, Wyoming Rodeo Association rodeo, the Laramie County Community College pig sale and its spring barbe- FYI: cue and awards. Pulse said he believes Block and Bridle Club is instrumental in reducing the dropout rates among agricultural students by giving them a common goal and constructive activities in which to participate.

28 Wingspan Anthony and Barbara Andrikopoulos were nominated for the Wyoming Association of Community College Trustees 2012–2013 Foundation Volunteer of the Year Award. They have donated money to Laramie County Community College for more than 16 years, and their goal is to support students who have difficulty in the college experience. A push of this goal has been that Anthony was told by his high school principal that he was not college material and would just be wasting his time. He proved his principal wrong though when he graduated from the University of Wyoming before having a career in the oil and gas industry. The couple has given an incredible amount to the college, from scholarships, to working on the LCCC Foundation Board. They also took the lead in the Matching the Spirit Campaign in 2004 that raised $31.5 million for colleges in the state of Wyoming. In addition to helping LCCC, they also donate to other programs in Cheyenne such as the Cheyenne Regional Medical Center, the Old West Museum and the Botanic Gardens. Melissa Gallant was nominated for the Wyoming Association of Community College Trustees 2012–2013 Classified Employee of the Year Award. She is the program assistant in facilities and events at Laramie County Community College. She reserves rooms for events as well as appropriately sets up for the events, ensuring the event has everything it might need. She will set up an event as if it were her own, according to her nomination. She thinks of ideas that her customers might not think of and takes extra jobs into her own hands. She will also accept criticism to ensure the job was done at its best. Gallant is very friendly and understanding, which makes working with her more enjoyable, her nomination continued. Gallant has been a representative on LCCC’s staff council since 2008, serving as president from 2009–2011. During those two years, Gallant had to represent the staff and present its point of view to the LCCC Board of Trustees during a leadership crisis. Besides creating campus events, Gallant has also served on the campus news Food Service Committee, Security Committee and College Council. She is also active with LCCC’s Career Fair. She also helps with the accommodations for the WACCT meeting and the Wyoming Community College Commission meeting at LCCC. Gallant is one of two employees on the LCCC Foundation Board of Directors. Gallant is very active in the Cheyenne community by coaching and mentoring girls on her daughter’s softball league and boys from her son’s baseball and hockey teams. She has received a Partnership Recognition Award from the IRS and an award of excellence from the Wyoming State Archive Division.

Greg Thomas was nominated for the Wyoming Association of Community College Trustees 2012–2013 Board Member of the Year Award. Thomas served on the LCCC Board of Trustees from 2004–2012. Since then he has been very active on the board by serving as vice chair, treasurer and chair in 2012. Being an original member of the trustees’ Facilities and Finance Committee for three years helped Thomas improve the board and helped it develop a more open environment. Thomas has served on several committees that have helped him develop and improve many LCCC plans and decisions. Thomas has also used his leadership skills in the Kiwanis Club, Laramie County Republican Party and Cheyenne District Boy Scouts of America in order to be more involved in the Cheyenne community. Thomas’ nomination said Thomas understands how important education is as well as how important its delivery method is for the success of students and the community. Thomas also knows how important it is for the community to have the opportunity to invest in the future. He keeps these ideas in mind when making decisions, his nomination noted. Dr. Ami Wangeline was nominated for the Wyoming Association of Community College Trustees 2012–2013 Faculty of the Year Award. She has taught biology at LCCC since 2008. Wangeline has been developing a scientific research project since she started working at LCCC. This will help students get research experience, which is hard to find in a community college. This project gives students the ability to show off their education that students from other colleges don’t have. She devotes a lot of time and effort to ensure her students are prepared to continue with biology at a four-year school. She strives to make a two-year experience as nurturing as a four-year experience. Wangeline was an active member of the LCCC Faculty Senate and other organizations that helped her develop models and programs to better educate students everywhere. She’s been a part of workshops put on by the Council on Undergraduate Research. She pushes her students to achieve their goals and has mentored several student scientist groups with Planting Science through the Botanical Society of America.
