Laramie Co WY COMMUNITY INFORMATION
Laramie County was originally created in 1867 as a county within the Dakota Territory. The county was named for Jacques La Ramee, a French-Canadian fur-trader. In late 1867, Laramie County lost territory when Sweetwater County Laramie County is located in the southeast corner of Wyoming and shares a border with Nebraska to the east and Colorado to the south. It is at the crossroads of two major interstate highways and two major railroads. Residents enjoy a stable, growing economy, a high-quality of life, excellent educational system and a low tax structure. Laramie County ranks first in population and fifteenth in area when compared to the other twenty-two counties in Wyoming.

PINE BLUFFS First known as Rock Ranch, Pine Bluffs is a small town rich in amazing historical heritage. The name was changed by railroad officials for the pines on the nearby bluffs. In 1868, Pine Bluffs consisted of a tent, a slab shack with a stone chimney and a square shed of canvas-covered poles. Cattle herds moved up the Texas Trail, which ran through Pine Bluffs and became the largest cattle shipping point on the UP Railroad around 1884. A few years later, in 1898, Mr. C.W. Johnson opened up one of Pine Bluffs’ oldest stores. It was a proven success from the beginning, and remained opened until the latter half of the 20th century. By the early 1900s Pine Bluffs was a very well known little town. It was once known as the best-lit city of its size in the entire United States. The Pine Bluffs Lighting Company was organized in
September 1909. This company used gas produced by a new process, giving the light more brilliance. Along with a growing town economy, agricultural endeavors were also booming around Pine Bluffs. In 1909, the local farmers got a chance to show off their hard work and dedication to the land. A unique but successful fair called the “Harvest Festival: was put on to showcase the vegetable and dry-farming section variety in the town. The main feature of the fair was the Grain Palace. Built entirely of different grain crops, this magnificent building covered 24x36 feet and 14 feet to the eaves. The Grain Palace was filled with exhibits of area artwork made from homegrown products.
ALBIN Our little home on the range is how the sign reads as you come into our small town of Albin. Those who live here in our rural town enjoy the “everyone knows everyone” atmosphere. The elementary school is the heart and soul of our community and has recently received the high honor of being named a Blue Ribbon School. The Albin area was settled in the 1880’s by Swedish immigrants, but the town of Albin came into being in 1928, when the Union Pacific Railroad came through
the area to provide a shipping point for livestock and grain farmers. The town’s name comes from Albin Anderson, who had a post office just east of the present town site. When the railroad came through, he took his post office, general store and residence and moved one mile west into town. Long-time residents of Albin remember the UP train stopped twice a day and picked up cream and eggs for sale in Cheyenne. Today, Albin still serves as the center for the surrounding farming and livestock operations. Main Street is lined with the few businesses that Albin has to offer. Those who live here are usually choose to spend the rest of their lives here and are very loyal to our small community. We take pride in what our little town has to offer; if you ever want to see our rural way of living, come to our Albin Day celebration, held each year on the second Saturday in July.
From Camp Carlin, a supply camp for all the northern posts on the Indian frontier. This mostly rough population gave entrance to the type of entertainment that became associated with the “Wild West”.
CHEYENNE FACTS & HISTORY On July 4,1867 the first tents were pitched on the site now known as Cheyenne. Cheyenne means “aliens” or “people of foreign language”. The Sioux Indians gave this name to the Indian tribe “Dzitsistes”, who roamed the open plains. Their spelling was Shyenne. The first residents were men who moved west to work on the Union Pacific Railroad. The majority of settlers moved away when the railroad was completed in November of that same year. Those who stayed joined others who came to form this new thriving western town. By 1869 Cheyenne was home to a variety of residents, including railroad gangs, soldiers from Fort D.A. Russell (which is now F.E. Warren Air Force Base), and employees
Cheyenne was a lively place with five “variety” theaters in operation simultaneously. Every other building was a saloon. The shows had regular stages and gave what was called “burlesque” performances with plenty of female performers. Cheyenne did not remain a rowdy town for long, as the railroad that initiated Cheyenne’s beginnings continued to play a major role in its development. The Union Pacific, one of the most heavily traversed railroads, passed through Cheyenne bringing some of the best shows of the times. After the opera house was erected in 1882, performers such as Lily Langtry and Emma Nevada and their troupes stopped in Cheyenne on their way to San Francisco. The railroad also provided direct access to the East, thereby enabling Cheyenne to receive the latest styles in furniture, the most recently published magazines and newspapers, and the most fashionable apparel from eastern salons. The cultural ideals of the East were virtually transplanted to Cheyenne via the railroad. By
1875 the population had grown to almost five thousand. Residents enjoyed a social life which was unique for the West and on par with many cities of a similar size in the East. In fact, Cheyenne’s culture far surpassed many of the eastern cities. The cattle industry was another influencing factor in Cheyenne’s development. Purebred Hereford cattle were raised at the famous Wyoming Hereford Ranch (near Cheyenne) as early as 1880. The town attracted many wealthy men from the East and Europe, bringing with them their impeccable social amenities. Many were graduates of the most outstanding universities in England and America. Many cattle barons spent their summers in Cheyenne, wintering in Europe. It was during this time that the world famous “Cheyenne Club” was established. It’s membership included many of these men. The club was lavishly furnished like a club of its scale in England. It had a wide verandah, large dining room, billiards room, card rooms, reading room, and a lounge on the main floor. The former Cheyenne Club stood on the site that later housed the Cheyenne Chamber of Commerce, located on east 17th street. POPULATION & DEMOGRAPHICS Cheyenne is located near the geographical and time center of North America. Strategically situated at a major transportation hub (the intersection of Interstates 25 and 80 and two major railroads), it is a developing center of commerce. Only 90 minutes north of Denver, Colorado, Cheyenne sits as the northern anchor city of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. Cheyenne is the capital of Wyoming, the seat of Laramie County, and the site of F.E. Warren Air Force Base.

The Secret to Getting Kids to
L
Eat Veggies
eft to their own devices, most kids will choose to gobble down ice cream or chocolate rather than broccoli or brussels sprouts. So, at school lunch, they’ll likely eat the yummiest items first and then drop the rest in the trash. But a new study finds that kids eat more fruits and vegetables when school recess takes place before lunch, rather than after. “Recess is a pretty big deal to kids,” said lead researcher Joe Price, an associate professor in the Department of Economics at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. “If you’re going to make a kid choose between going to recess and eating their veggies , recess is going to win.” The study, led by Price and David Just, director of the Cornell Center for Behavioral Economics in Child Nutrition Programs at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, looked at seven elementary schools in a Utah school district. Three of the schools switched recess to before lunch, while four schools continued to hold recess after lunch. For four days in the spring and nine days in the fall, the researchers measured how many fruits and vegetables each student ate during lunch. The three schools that made the switch,did so in the fall. In the schools that switched recess to before lunch, children ate 54 percent more fruits and vegetables than they did before the switch, the researchers found. Moreover, there was a 45 percent increase in the number of kids who ate at least one serving of fruits and vegetables a day. But in schools that kept recess after lunch, children actually ate fewer fruits and vegetables as the year went on.
incentives for the kids to eat them. Although both methods worked relatively well, they can be costly, the scientists said. This new study shows that “it’s not just what’s on the tray that matters,” Price told Live Science. Rather, “by setting the scheduling right, you can have a big impact.” Price also speculated that switching recess to before lunch helps kids build up an appetite immediately before they sit down to eat. As an added bonus, the switch also reduced waste by roughly 40 percent, the researchers found. The results should be encouraging for most schools because “it means that you can end up with more items in the tummy rather than in the trash,” Price said. The findings should also help parents get their kids to eat healthier, Price said. Parents who regularly sit down and eat with their kids for a specific amount of time may be more successful in getting their kids to eat well. However, parents who allow their children to run along as soon as they’ve finished dinner are less likely to encourage healthy eating habits. In the future, Price and Just hope to study how to use digital media to advertise and encourage healthy eating at school. But for now, switching lunchtimes to after recess may just do the trick. The findings will be published in February in the journal Preventive Medicine. Source: http://www.livescience.com/49482schoolsswitchlunchrecess.html
Previous studies had attempted to encourage children to eat healthier by increasing the variety of fruits and vegetables available or providing small

When the weather turns warm, everyone wants to be in or around the water. Hanging out at the pool or the beach on a hot day is a great way to beat the heat. Between having fun and checking out the lifeguards, most people don’t think much about water safety - but they should. For people between the ages of 5 and 24, drowning is the second leading cause of accidental death. It doesn’t have to be that way, though. Most water-related accidents can be avoided by knowing how to stay safe and following a few simple guidelines. Learning how to swim is essential if you plan on being on or near water. Many organizations provide swim instruction to people of all ages, check to see what classes are available in your area.
Swimming Smarts “Buddy up!” That’s what swimming instructors say. Always swim with a partner, every time - whether you’re swimming in a backyard pool or in a lake. Even experienced swimmers can become tired or get muscle cramps, which might make it difficult to get out of the water. When people swim together, they can help each other or go for help in case of an emergency. Get skilled. Speaking of emergencies, it’s good to be prepared. Learning some life-saving skills, such as CPR and rescue techniques, can help you save a life. A number of organizations offer free classes for both beginning and experienced swimmers and boaters. Check with your YMCA or YWCA, local hospital, or chapter of the Red Cross. Know your limits. Swimming can be a lot of fun - and you might want to stay in the water as long as possible. If you’re not a good swimmer or you’re just learning to swim, don’t go in water that’s so deep you can’t touch the bottom and don’t try to keep up with skilled swimmers. That can be hard, especially when
12
your friends are challenging you - but it’s a pretty sure bet they’d rather have you safe and alive. If you are a good swimmer and have had lessons, keep an eye on friends who aren’t as comfortable or as skilled as you are. If it seems like they (or you) are getting tired or a little uneasy, suggest that you take a break from swimming for a while. Swim in safe areas only. It’s a good idea to swim only in places that are supervised by a lifeguard. No one can anticipate changing ocean currents, rip currents,sudden storms, or other hidden dangers. In the event that something does go wrong,lifeguards are trained in rescue techniques. Swimming in an open body of water (like a river, lake, or ocean)is different from swimming in pool. You need more energy to handle the currents and other changing conditions in the open water. If you do find yourself caught in a current, don’t panic and don’t fight the current. Try to swim parallel to the shore until you are able to get out of the current,which is usually a narrow channel of water. Gradually try to make your way back to shore as you do so. If you’re unable to swim away from the current, stay calm and float with the current. The current will usually slow down, then you can swim to shore. Even a very good swimmer who tries to swim against a strong current will get worn out. If you’re going to be swimming in an open body of water, it’s a great idea to take swimming lessons that provide you with tips on handling unexpected hazards. Some areas with extremely strong currents are off limits when it comes to swimming. Do your research so you know where not to swim, and pay attention to any warning signs posted in the area.
Be careful about diving. Diving injuries can cause head injury, permanent spinal cord damage, paralysis, and sometimes even death. Protect yourself by only diving in areas that are known to be safe, such as the deep end of a supervised pool. If an area is posted with “No Diving” or “No Swimming” signs, pay attention to them. A “No Diving” sign means the water isn’t safe for a head-first entry. Even if you plan to jump in feet first, check the water’s depth before you leap to make sure there are no hidden rocks or other hazards. Lakes or rivers can be cloudy and hazards may be hard to see. Watch the sun. Sun reflecting off the water or off sand can intensify the burning rays. You might not feel sunburned when the water feels cool and refreshing, but the pain will catch up with you later — so remember to reapply sunscreen frequently and cover up much of the time. Don’t forget your hat, UV protection sunglasses, and protective clothing. Drink plenty of fluids. It’s easy to get dehydrated in the sun, particularly if you’re active and sweating. Keep up with fluids — particularly water — to prevent dehydration. Dizziness, feeling lightheaded, or nausea can be signs of dehydration and overheating. Getting too cool. Speaking of temperature, it’s possible to get too cool. How? Staying in very cool water for long periods can lower your body temperature. A temperature of 70°F (20°C) is positively balmy on land, but did you know that water below that temperature will feel cold to most swimmers? Your body temperature drops far more quickly in water than it does on land. And if you’re swimming, you’re using energy and losing body heat even faster than if you were keeping still. Monitor yourself when swimming in cold water and stay close to shore. If you feel your body start to shiver or your muscles cramp up, get out of the water quickly; it doesn’t take long for hypothermia to set in.
be almost impossible. Also, the U.S. Coast Guard warns about a condition called boater’s fatigue, which means that the wind, noise, heat, and vibration of the boat all combine to wear you down when you’re on the water. Weather. Before boating, be sure the weather conditions are safe. The local radio, internet or TV stations can provide updated local forecast information. Personal flotation devices. It’s always a good idea for everyone on the boat to wear a Coast Guard-approved life jacket, whether the boat is a large speedboat or a canoe — and whether you’re a good swimmer or not. Wearing a life jacket (also known as a personal flotation device, or PFD) is the law in some states for certain age groups, and you could face a stiff penalty for breaking it. Your state may also require that you wear an approved life jacket for water skiing and other on-water activities. Wearing a PFD is like wearing a helmet while biking. It may take a few minutes to get used to it, but it definitely can be a lifesaver. Don’t leave land without it. Stay in touch. Before going out on a boat, let somebody on land know your float plan (where you are going and about how long you’ll be out). That way, if you do get into trouble, someone will have an idea of where to look for you. If you’re going to be on the water for a long time, it’s a good idea to have a radio with you so you can check the weather reports. Water conducts electricity, so if you hear a storm warning, get off the water as quickly as you can.
Alcohol and water never mix. Alcohol is involved in numerous water-related injuries and up to half of all water-related deaths. The statistics for teenage guys are particularly scary: One half of all adolescent male drownings are tied to alcohol use.
Jet skis. If you’re using jet skis or personal watercraft, follow the same rules as you do for boating. You should also check out the laws in your area governing the use of personal watercraft. Some states won’t allow people under a certain age to operate these devices; others require you to take a course or pass a test before you can ride one.
At the Water Park
Now Have Fun!
OK, so you do more splashing than swimming, but it’s just as important to know your skill level at the waterpark as it is at the pool. Take a moment to read warnings and other signs. Each area in the water park can have different depths of water, so make sure you pay attention. If you don’t know how to swim be sure to wear a Coast Guard-approved life jacket when necessary, and be sure there is lifeguard supervision. And make sure you do slide runs feet first or you’ll put yourself at risk for a ride that’s a lot less fun — one to your doctor or dentist.
The pool and the beach are great places to learn new skills, socialize, and check out everyone’s new bathing suit. So don’t let paying attention to safety turn you off. Being prepared will make you feel more comfortable and in charge. Source: http://kidshealth.org/teen/safety/safebasics/water_safety.html#
Boating Safety More people die in boating accidents every year than in airplane crashes or train wrecks, but a little common sense can make boating both enjoyable and safe. If you are going to go boating, make sure the captain or person handling the boat is experienced and competent. Alcohol and water still don’t mix. One third of boating deaths are alcohol related. Alcohol distorts our judgment no matter where we are — but that distortion is even greater on the water. Because there are no road signs or lane markers on the water and the weather can be unpredictable, it’s important to be able to think quickly and react well under pressure. If you’re drinking, this can

How to Set (and Conquer) Your 2015-16 Money Goals These expert tips will help you achieve your financial resolutions within the next 12 months. It’s time to set your big financial goals for the year and make a plan for achieving them. Despite the fact that an Allianz Life survey of more than 1,000 people in November found that getting in shape is a bigger priority than improving finances for most people, 4 in 10 said they aimed to manage their money better in 2015. About a quarter of respondents said they were more likely to get help from a financial professional in the coming year. Paying off credit card debt, building up emergency savings and increasing retirement savings were also among the common goals cited. The relative health of the economy compared to a year ago seems to have alleviated some of the pressure Americans feel to set financial goals. A recent survey of more than 2,000 adults by Fidelity found a decline in interest in setting money-related financial resolutions for the new year. Just 31 percent of respondents said they were making a financial resolution, compared to 43 percent in 2014. The most popular financial goals included saving more (55 percent), paying off debt (20 percent) and spending less (17 percent). The Fidelity survey also found a correlation between expressing a financial goal and improving one’s financial life: About half of those who made a money resolution last year said they are now “better off financially,” compared to just 38 percent of those who didn’t set one. According to Carrie Schwab Pomerantz, president of the Charles Schwab Foundation, one of the biggest barriers to meeting financial goals is that people just don’t know how to get started . In Charles Schwab’s Fall Financial Pulse survey of 1,466 adults ages 25 to 65, more than half said they “don’t feel they are on top of their finances,” and 27 percent said they “don’t know where to start and need more education or information.” In addition, 15 percent said they didn’t want to deal with their finances because it’s “too overwhelming.” If you fall into that category, then you might also want to consider the research of Christine Whelan , a faculty associate in the Department of Consumer Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and 16
self-improvement expert. She developed two self-improvement programs for AARP’s Life Reimagined website that help people prioritize their goals and define the next steps for achieving them. Her research has also found the importance of not just setting a resolution, but making sure the goals you set resonate with your values and priorities, and not outside influences. Meeting those goals also requires high levels of self control, which gets stronger with practice , she says. Here are some suggestions from academic research on how to go about achieving your 2015 money goals:
Start Conquering Now 1. Be Flexible Julia Belyavsky Bayuk , an assistant professor in the Department of Business Administration at the University of Delaware, asked college students to save money and told half of them to form a specific plan for how they were going to save money. Then, the college students were offered candy for 75 cents each. The students with a specific savings plan in place were more likely to splurge on the candy purchases compared with those without a plan. (Interestingly, students with savings plans who were put into an “abstract” state of mind first, by being asked questions about why they save money instead of how, were more likely to resist the purchase.) “The takeaway is that planning can limit you. It’s important to remind yourself, ‘What is my goal?’” Bayuk says, who coauthored the study published in the Journal of Consumer Research in 2010. In other words, forming a plan is not necessarily helpful, because in real life, plans often don’t work out. It rains. A child needs to stay home from school. You are offered a piece of chocolate cake. For Bayuk, these findings also provide personal comfort: “I always wanted to be a planner. I always buy the calendars, and try to use Outlook, but it never works. I never stick to it. Now I’ve accepted this fact. I don’t form plans,” she says.
2. Visualize your goal “It’s very important to visualize your goal. You need to know what you’re working toward,” Bayuk says. In fact, clearly keeping the goal in mind by posting it where you see it every day could also keep your motivation at the forefront of your mind and help you think more abstractly about reaching the goal, which Bayuk’s research has shown to be helpful.
3. Get motivated by a purpose bigger than yourself “If thinking of the world and others around you makes you think more broadly and leads you to be more open minded, then that could help,” Bayuk says. Focusing on how your children would benefit from a college degree without a huge amount of student loan debt, for example, could make it easier to skip a pricey restaurant meal and put that money into their 529 account instead..
4. Be specific when describing your goal The acronym SMART , which stands for specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time limited, has been used for more than 20 years to help people set and meet goals. In general, Bayuk says ap-
plying the acronym can be useful, but warns people against being too specific about their plans, since her research suggests remaining open minded can be a better approach. “You want to be as specific as possible if you’re sure you’ll have the opportunity to execute that specific plan,” she says. But in reality, specific plans often get sabotaged. “You might say, ‘If I wake up at 8 a.m., I’ll go to the gym.” But what if you don’t get up at 8 a.m.? If the situation doesn’t happen, that’s when having a plan is hurtful,” she explains. At the same time, having a specific plan might prevent you from taking advantage of unexpected opportunities that pop up, such as getting home from work early and using that time to go to the gym.
5. Dream Big Research suggests that you should dream big, but not too big, Bayuk says. When people set goals that are too small, they achieve them easily and are finished. At the same time, when people set goals that are overly ambitious, they tend to give up before reaching them. Setting goals somewhere in the middle, where they are difficult to achieve but not impossible, is the best approach.

EVEN MORE This statue of women’s suffrage leader Esther Hobart Morris is on the steps of the Wyoming State Capitol Building (her statue is also in the U.S. Capitol). To promote the idea of giving women the right to vote, Morris organized a tea party for the electors and candidates for the first territorial legislature. With the national woman suffrage movement still being organized, Wyoming’s enactment of such a law in 1869 was a legislative milestone. When appointed justice of the peace for the South Pass District in 1870, she became the first woman to hold judicial office in the modern world. AMES MONUMENT & SHERMAN HILL

INJURED? FEAR IS YOUR BIGGEST ENEMY So conquer it with these six tips from cycling’s comeback queen, Alison Tetrick.
season was over, and that she would face a long, painful recovery. What she didn’t expect, however, was the mental recovery would be harder than the physical.
When Alison Tetrick entered the Cascade Classic Time Trial in 2010, she was at the top of her game as a professional cyclist. Despite being relatively new to competitive racing, she was racking up podium spots. That season alone she had already taken first place in the Nature Valley Grand Prix Time Trial . The previous year she had won second place in the Cascade Classic, and now she was gunning for first.
“I was scared to death,” she says, of getting back on the bike. “I was terrified I was going to crash again.”
That all changed as she was barreling down a descent during the race. One cyclist near her crashed, creating a ricochet effect in a group already riding in tight formation. Another racer took out Tetrick’s front wheel, and Tetrick went down. Hard. “When it first happened, I was going in and out,” Tetrick said. “I was thinking, I can still race again today.” With adrenaline pumping, she threw one leg over her bike and tried to get back on, but passed out again. She ultimately had to be airlifted off the course. Tetrick was out cold for the next 24 hours, her body racked with seizures. First she was diagnosed with a broken pelvis, and later came the diagnosis of a traumatic brain injury. She didn’t realize how serious her condition was until she woke up in the hospital and saw the look on her dad’s face. That’s when she knew her 22
Fear, researchers are finding, plays an enormous role in an athlete’s recovery. In fact, it can determine whether or not an athlete ever makes a full recovery—and that fact is often overlooked, says Dr. Aaron Gray, a physician for athletes at the University of Missouri. Some athletes, he says, “almost have post-traumatic stress back to” the moment they got injured. Addressing the fear, alongside the physical injuries, is critical for recovery, a recent study published in the American Journal of Sports Medicine found. The study’s authors looked at a set of patients recovering from ACL reconstruction. Over the course of the patients’ recovery, the intensity of their knee pain was measured, along with the strength of the muscles around the knee, the knee’s functional range of movement, and the patient’s level of physical activity. Researchers also measured levels of kinesiophobia—pain-related fear of movement. Among the study participants, the most common reason for not having a full recovery was fear of getting hurt again. These athletes didn’t have higher levels of pain than other people in the study; they were just scared. “Our results indicate physical impairments may contribute to initial functional deficits, whereas psychological factors may contribute to longer term functional deficits in patients who report fear of reinjury or lack of confidence as a barrier to sports participation,” wrote the study’s authors. Tetrick’s fear was still alive and well at her first her big comeback race: the 2012 Sea Otter Classic in Monterrey, California. Nevertheless, she jumped onto her saddle and rode. She didn’t place, but she knew it was a huge accomplishment to
have recovered enough to be racing competitively again. The next year she went back and won the women’s division of the time trial for the Sea Otter Classic, and she’s been back on the bike ever since. How did she crush her fear? One thing that helped: She decided to take ownership of the risks she faces while racing. Each time she races, “she’s 100 percent in.” She also took the extra time she had post-injury to focus on areas of her life outside of cycling. Now she’s a graduate student in neuropsychology—with a particular interest in brain injuries. She’s also volunteering with Breakaway from Cancer , a cancer awareness group. “I needed to separate my identity from the sport,” Tetrick says. “I’m so much more than a cyclist.” If you’re struggling with fear and a lack of confidence post-injury, Tetrick and Dr. Gray have some tips to help you bounce back.
Take It Slow
Work with a trained physical therapist or sports physician to develop a gradual return-to-sport plan. This will let your body heal and helps your mind, too. Each day you do a little more, and gradually you’ll start to build the confidence to get back out there.
If You’re Feeling Blue, Get Help
For Tetrick, getting back meant working with a psychologist. It’s normal to feel blue when you can’t maintain your usual activity levels, but don’t be afraid to ask for help to deal with it. “People need to be aware of the potential tendency to feel down in the dumps as you’re recovering because you’re not able to exercise and release those endorphins that you usually do,” Dr. Gray says.

Supporting the Albin Community & Laramie County
Track Your Recovery
Sometimes, even though you’re improving, it’s hard to see those gains because you’re so focused on performing at your pre-injury levels. Tetrick kept a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet to track the activities she did and her mood levels each day. “If you keep track of your recovery you can see, ‘Hey, I could only walk up half the stairs last week, but this week I did all the stairs,’” she says.
Practice Positive Visualization
We usually hear about positive visualization as a useful tool for uninjured athletes. To perform well at the race, the ski racer imagines herself floating down it elegantly and winning. The same technique can be applied to athletes coming back from an injury. If you’re afraid of running after an ACL tear, for example, imagine yourself running fluidly with perfect form before you lace up your shoes and head out.

Get Your Movement Analyzed
Make sure you have good form to avoid reinjury. If you’re a skier, take a private lesson and have your technique analyzed by the instructor. If you’re a runner, get your gait assessed. If there’s a deficit in your technique, you can correct it, and if there isn’t, you can get out there with the confidence that you have perfect form.
Embrace Relaxation Exercises
When Tetrick is stressed before a race, she’ll do deep breathing exercises to calm herself down. She also comes up with little mantras to keep herself psyched. If you’re thinking a negative thought, try turning it around into a positive. “I’ll be thinking during the race, I feel awful!” she says. “And then I’ll think to myself, no, I feel awesome!” Source: http://www.outsideonline.com/fitness/bodywork/the-fit-list/Fear-is-Messing-Up-Your-Recovery-from-Injury.html

These Boots Are Made For Talking “These Boots are made for Talking” was a joint project of the Cheyenne Depot Museum Foundation and the Downtown Development Authority. The boots were sponsored by local businesses and auctioned at a fundraiser. The nearly $100,000 raised went to the Cheyenne Depot Museum Endowment Fund to benefit the museum. Each boot was painted by one or more of the area’s creative and talented artists. The theme of the project for the artists was “If this boot could talk, what story would it tell?” “These Boots” remain a destination point for visitors and area residents alike.
CHEYENNE BIG BOOTS The eight foot tall cowboy boots have been carefully painted by local artists to show Wyoming’s and Cheyenne’s history. Go on a scavenger hunt and find them all. Location maps are available at the Depot in the Visitors Center.
