n Saturday October 19, Liz Cheney had a booth at the CamPlex during Basin Radio’s “October Fest”. She has put her name in the hat to be the Republican Party nominee for the U.S. Senate seat that is coming up for a vote next November. That seat is currently held by Senator Mike Enzi, who is also running for the primary nomination. The August 2014 primary vote will decide which of these two nominees will go on to the general election in November of 2014. The Campbell County Observer does not take sides in elections. This is a story on how Liz Cheney answered some questions that are in the community. A concern in the community is that Cheney has not lived here, in Wyoming, for most of her life. She took exception to this statement. She was born and lived in Casper until her father was elected as Wyoming Representative to the House of Representatives in Washington D.C., stating
that they, “split their time between Casper and D.C.” She is a fourth generation Wyomingite. Wyoming has always been her home, and she has been raised with “Wyoming values.” She did not move back to Wyoming to run for this senate position. Her parents are here, and she wanted her kids to be able to spend more time with their Grandparents. While she lived in the east she worked in and around the federal government and has seen how the bloating of the government has occurred. She believes that her experience in this field will be a help in the Senate. She knows where the, “pressure points are in the executive branch.” When asked why she considered, and eventually decided to run for the senate, she feels that the eighteen years that our current senator has served is enough. She wants to be a “coal advocate.” “We don’t have the luxury of time,” she said when talking about some of the
policies that our current President wants to impose on the utility companies. “It will be very difficult to dig ourselves out of the hole that he will leave for us.” She feels that the Wyoming way of life is under threat. She believes that most people here in Wyoming do not agree with “20% of what Obama believes.” This is in reference with her opponent’s 80-20 idea. Dan Head, Enzi’s press secretary, countered by
stating that Enzi believes that most people can, “find common ground on eighty percent of the issues.” Cheney does not support gay marriage. “I have always had that this is an issue that should be up to the states.” Her personal belief is that marriage is between a man and a woman. The commercial that has been shown on television takes her comment as, “a complete misrepresentation.”

Have a “Glowing’ Halloween One of the most common calls to Wyoming’s Poison Center this time of year involves glow sticks-the plastic tubes that are filled with a glowing liquid. Last year the Poison Center had 479 calls concerning this product –an increase from the previous year. The glow sticks make children more visible in the dark while trick-or- treating – but they are soft to chew on and can be easily broken open. If children get some of the liquid in their mouth or eye there is no need to run to an emergency room. Call the Poison Center and the specialist will tell you what you need to do. No spells will be cast on young spooks this Halloween with a few sensible tips from the Wyoming Poison Center. Take the following preventive measures to keep children safe this Halloween: • When children trick-or-treat, treats should be carefully checked by adults. Homemade treats or anything out of its original wrapper should be thrown away unless parents are positive of the identity of the person from
which it came. • Providing children with a full meal before trick-or-treating will reduce the temptation for children to eat treats before they return home. • Costumes should be warm, well fitting and non-flammable. Masks should provide adequate vision and should be removed while children are crossing streets. Use inexpensive, nontoxic face paint as an alternative to masks. All makeup and fluorescent hair sprays should be removed before going to bed. Consider using reflective tape on costumes worn after dark. • Make sure children are accompanied by an adult and take a flashlight along if it is dark. All children should stay in their own neighborhood and only go in homes of friends and family. • Glow sticks can cause immediate stinging and a burning sensation if the liquid comes in contact with the mouth or the eyes. Be careful when small children put these in their mouths.
• Give out non-edible treats such as stickers, pencils, erasers, or other party favors. • Sponsor a block party as an alternative to wide-range trick-or-treating. Parties at home can substitute for, or at least shorten, trick-or-treat trips. • Serving punch containing dry ice is not considered dangerous as long as the ice is not swallowed in its solid form. Small pieces should not be put in individual glasses. Frostbite can occur if dry ice touches the skin or mouth. • Chocolate is very poisonous to dogs. Store all candy up and out of reach of dogs. While trick-or-treating stay away from barking dogs or upset animals. Wyoming’s Poison Center offers tips on Halloween safety and poison prevention.
