Allegedly, Martinez backed up and aimed for the two bystand-
ers a second time. Narrowly escaping injury, the pair again jumped out of the way and the vehicle struck the Four Aces porch a second time. Martinez then exited the Four Aces drive-thru, but not before hitting a parked car. The suspect then headed east toward Douglas running the 4-way stop sign on Birch. According to Glenrock Police Lieutenant Owen Frank, Highway patrol and Sheriff's officers pulled over the suspect vehicle speeding southbound in the northbound lanes of I-25 at approximately 1 a.m. near mile marker 134. The driver was arrested for reckless driving, speeding and DUI. Deputy Thompson radioed the GPD making it known they suspected they had the porch hitting mini van. Lt. Owen Frank of the GPD advised Thompson to take Martinez to jail.
Converse County Attorney Quentin Richardson filed charges against the suspect for aggravated assault, which carries a potential 10 year sentence. A second but separate incident occurred at approximately 2 a.m. on Sunday, May 16. GPD dispatch received a 911 call reporting that a person had been hit and knocked down by a car, leaving the individual laying in the street. According to Lt. Frank, suspect Frank Morales allegedly drove a 1995 Mercury Grand Marquis toward a group of people as they crossed 4th Street west of the Aces, hitting Brien "Cowboy" Bowers and knocking him to the ground. Morales then allegedly backed up running over Bowers, breaking the victim's right leg.
were taken off of Morales; a Texas Drivers License and a social security card. The SS number came back under a different name; the driver's license came back under which no information was located. Police confiscated the ID's. INS is en route to investigate Morales.
Lt. Owen Frank formally arrested Morales a short while after 3 a.m. for aggravated assault punishable by 10 years imprisonment. Police are investigating a second victim who may have also been struck by the vehicle driven by Morales.
Martinez is being held in Converse County Jail on $100,000.00 bond and Morales is being held in Converse County Jail on $50,000.00 bond.

GLENROCK TO HOST CANCER RELAY FOR LIFE IN TOWN PARK The Cancer Relay for Life will be held June 4 & 5 in the Glenrock Town Park. The relay will start at 6:00PM on June 4 and end at 8:00AM on June 5. Cancer "survivors" will start the relay with a 'Survivor Lap' and will then be treated to a special dinner and cake. A luminary service will be held at dusk with hundreds of luminaria bags lit in memory of those who have lost their battle with cancer and in honor of those still surviving; all names of those lost and surviving will be read aloud. Luminary bags may be purchased for $5.00 prior to the relay so purchasers may personalize their bags. Relay participants may purchase bags the day of the event in the park; those unable to attend the relay may purchase luminary bags in advance by contacting Cindy Allen at 258-9748. The relay team has set a fundraising goal of $20,000.00. When the goal is reached Glenrock Mayor Steve Cielinski will allow the team to shave his head. When $30,000 is raised, the event chair, Kim Becher of Douglas will shave her head! Several teams are doing additional "team" fundraising prior to the relay. "Solutions For Life Team" team is having a silent auction during the Relay. They have collected some wonder-
Sunday May 23, 2010
ful items to auction off. They are also selling raffle tickets for a Miche "Hope" bag which proudly displays the pink breast cancer ribbon on it. Additional Hope bags will be for sale at the Relay and are also available now through this team. $15.00 from each of these bags goes directly to the American Cancer Society. "Woodchuck Walkers Relay Team" are selling home baked goods at the relay; wonderful breads, muffins and other gooey items will be available. These items are baked with love by a local chef who owns his own bakery business. This team is also planning a 'Goldfish' race at Four Aces Restaurant/Lounge on the day of the relay. Individuals will pick out their racer fish and then blow bubbles through a straw to help their fish along. "Bank Nights" will be June 1 at the Four Aces in Glenrock while the Douglas "Bank night" will be June 2 at EWC. Bank night is very important for teams because it is when teams turn in any money that they have collected plus pick up their t-shirts for the entire team and any t-shirts for survivors that are on their team. Team Captains are reponsible for getting t-shirts to their team members. Bank night is also a good
night for last minute questions about the Relay to be asked and asnwered. Keep in mind that teams can still collect monies and bring their monies in to the relay at the registration table at the relay. The Glenrock Bird Team "Walking for the Rose" will be selling a BBQ Beef plate complete with cornbread and dutch oven dessert, during the relay, right out of an authentic chuck wagon cooked over an open fire by Glenrock's own Rick the Chuck Wagon Connoisseur. All proceeds will go right back into the relay. Remember our midnight cookoff, each team needs to make Chilli, Chicken Soup and/or an Open category item. This is our midnight meal for all of our walkers and is also a judged event. These items must be prepared at the Relay. There will be a bucket by each entry and who ever has the most money in their bucket is the winner in that category; all money is donated back to the relay. The New Busy is not the old busy. Search, chat and e-mail from your inbox. Get started.=

MARLINS OFF TO GREAT START
At the end of the evening the votes were tallied and the winner was the 00 black and green Dwarf car, driven by Josh Smith from Casper. Smith also won a peoples choice award on Saturday at the Casper show as well. Photo © Amanda Miller Even though these race cars sat in place quietly, there was still a competition happening Friday, May 7th, at the Deer Creek Lounge. The 'Show & Shine' was a fun way for Valentine Speedway to begin it's 2010 racing season. Race fans talked with the racers, took a close look at the cars and were even able to sit inside them, then vote for their favorite. The racers talked shop, lightheartedly ribbed one another, and campaigned for votes better than any politician. At the end of the evening the votes
were tallied and the winner was the 00 black and green Dwarf car, driven by Josh Smith from Casper. Smith also won a peoples choice award on Saturday at the Casper show as well. Each new year has brought with it, something new to the Valentine Speedway track just west of Glenrock. One thing race fans can expect is the addition of lights, making it possible to start the races a bit later and hopefully allow more people the chance to make it out for the events. This will be the first year that the Valentine Speedway is Wissota sanctioned. That means that drivers earn not only track
points, but national points for Wissota. Both Casper and Gillette are Wissota sanctioned tracks, so their racers now have one more venue to choose from to raise their point standing in the quest to earn Wissota prizes and awards. More racers makes for more excitement on the track for spectators. Did you know that an evening in Casper at the movies for a family of 5 costs $14.50 and up for 2 hours of entertainment plus drive time and the cost of fuel. While the same family could enjoy an evening at the track for about $20 and get 2 more hours of entertainment.
After the races the pits are opened to the public and fans are able to go visit with the racers and see the cars up close. Go check out the track Saturday, May 29th at 2:00 pm. and join in the fun at Valentine Speedway. For more information on this year’s races go to: www.valentinespeedway.org You will find everything you need to know about the racers, sponsors, and race schedules.

With all the rain and snow that has happened recently, many parents and coaches were wondering just when the AAA baseball season would finally get under way, but get underway it did on Saturday, May 15th. The AAA Marlins from Glenrock had not just one, but two makeup games scheduled for that day and the boys performed exceptionally well beating both their opponents quite thoroughly.
thus far. "We're off to a good start...we just need to keep working," he said. And working they are, for in their third game held at Mike Sedar on Monday, May 17th, the Marlins once again used their skills to beat the Royals 13 to 3.
Glenrock Town Park was filled with laughter May 17 as Small World Preschool held it’s annual end of year celebration. The evening began with a barbecue. Tables flowed with food as the large crowd lined up to eat hot dogs, salads, and other delicious summer cuisine. After bellies were full, the children were honored for all they accomplished this

year. Proud parents, grandparents, siblings and friends watched as awards were given to each of the students.
The first game was held at 2:00 at Mike Sedar Park in Casper and the Marlins outperformed the Yankees 17 to 1. Dillon Farley was first to bat for the Marlins and started his team off with a double.
Forty-two children passed through the preschool this year. Three year olds had class two days a week, the four and five year olds three days a week.
The game only got better for the team from there as these athletic boys hit time and again, and stole base after base for the win. The 2nd game was held at 4:30 at Casper's Field of Dreams. This reporter was wondering if the Marlins would be too tired to perform as well so soon, but was quickly proved wrong as the team showed their stuff and routed the Rockies to bring home a 19 to 1 win. Assistant Coach Carl Federer is happy with the team's showing

The three year olds were honored for the knowledge they gained this year, and the fact that they will move up to the three day a week class next fall.
The four and five year olds were given a graduation certificate. They celebrated the move to kindergarten they will make in the fall.
All forty-two kids were given a t-shirt with handprints on it as a way of remembering the wonderful year of learning and growing they experienced at preschool. Small World Preschool is run by Tisha Smith. She is assisted by Kim Bloem.

During last Tuesday's round of thunderstorms, the time came for Paula Flynn and her piano students to hold their recital. The time came, but so did the lightning knocking out power to certain parts of town for over an hour. The lack of lighting didn't deter Flynn, however, who sent students and parents on a search for flashlights and lanterns to help light the way-after all, the recital isn't about seeing the music, it's about hearing all the hard work these students put into it throughout the year.

REGIONAL TRACK By Paula Flynn
On May 14 and 15, GHS track athletes traveled to Douglas for a very wet and drippy 3A East Regional Track Meet. Despite the weather, coach Al Finch's teams performed admirably with the girls winning the regional team trophy by 32 points ahead of Thermopolis, 37.5 in front of Buffalo and 41 points better than Rawlins. Furthermore, the boy's team executed well with a 3rd place finish just 63.5 points behind Douglas, 30 points behind Torrington, but a healthy 35.5 points ahead of Buffalo. Coach Finch conveyed that everyone stepped up and performed very well. "From the throwers to the field events,
there wasn't any 'one' person that was a stand out. Across the board, the athletes did a fantastic job for us." When asked if the cold nasty weather played a factor in their performances Finch responded, "It was a little cool. Our kids are good enough to not let the weather bother them. Really the only event that was delayed was pole vault and a few of the field events had to go early, but our students responded well to the changes." Anticipation for this weekend's State Track Meet is high. Coach Finch expressed, "They'll do well. They always do!" Individual results can be found on the Wyoming High School Activities Association webpage at www.whsaa.org.

Headaches
Symptoms – Tension Headache: A pain that begins in the back of the head and upper neck as a band-like tightness or pressure; described as a band of pressure encircling the head with the most intense pain over the eyebrows; the pain is usually mild (not disabling) and bilateral (affecting both sides of the head); not associated with an aura and are not associated with nausea, vomiting, or sensitivity to light and sound; usually occur sporadically (infrequently and without a pattern) but can occur frequently and even daily in some people; most people are able to function despite their tension headaches. Cluster headaches are headaches that come in groups (clusters) lasting weeks or months, separated by pain-free periods of months or years. During the period in which the cluster headaches occur, pain typically occurs once or twice daily, but some patients may experience pain more than twice daily. Each episode of pain lasts from 30 minutes to an hour and a half. Attacks tend to occur at about the same time every day and often awaken the patient at night from a sound sleep. The pain typically is excruciating and located around or behind one eye. Some patients describe the pain as feeling like a hot poker in the eye. The affected eye may become red, inflamed, and watery. The nose on the affected side may become congested and runny. Unlike patients with migraine headaches, patients with cluster headaches tend to be restless. Secondary headaches are due to an underlying disease or injury that needs to be diagnosed and treated. Controlling the headache symptom will need to occur at the same time diagnostic tests are being considered. Some of the causes of secondary headache may be potentially life-threatening and deadly. Early diagnosis and treatment is essential, if damage is to be limited. The International Headache Society lists eight categories of secondary headache. A few examples in each category are noted (this is not a complete list): Head and neck trauma: concussions, whiplash, head injury Blood vessel problems in the head and neck: stroke, TIA, arteriovenous malformations Non-blood vessel problems of the brain –brain tumors, seizures Medications and drugs (including withdrawal from those drugs) Infection – meningitis, encephalitis, HIV/AIDS, systemic infections Changes in the body's environment – high blood pressure, dehydration Problems with the eyes, ears, nose throat, teeth and neck Psychiatric disorders

DOUGLAS HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES CELEBRATES CLASS OF 2010 by Kelly Pexton
Pomp and Circumstance rang through the gymnasium at the rec center May 16 as the Douglas High School class of 2010 graduated. The top five percent of the class were honored and gave short speeches to their classmates. Elizabeth Butler, Trenton Carr, Cadi Dugger, Pierre Etchemendy, Tricia Jensen, Quentin Kane, and Meghan Kolf rounded out this group. Their insight ranged from watching your words, to never forgetting the past. All spoke from the heart and filled the gymnasium with laughter and applause. Teacher Noni Weber gave the commencement address. She spoke to the students about living life like a five paragraph essay. Throughout all the speeches, much advice was given, anecdotes shared, and smiles passed. It was a day of excitement, joy, and tears.
Meghan Kolf, Quentin Kane, Tricia Jensen, Pierre Etchemendy, Cadi Dugger and Trent Carr look on while fellow graduate Beth Butler addresses the Douglas High School graduating class of 2010. As the class of 2010 made their way through the class presentation and handing of diplomas, two missing students were remembered. Last spring Brady Patterson lost his life. In the fall of that same year, Skye Hiser also lost her life. Both students would have been walking across the graduation stage on Sunday. They were not forgotten. Both names appeared in the graduation program. Floral ar
rangements were left for both and presented to the families. As the recessional left the gymnasium, proud parents, grandparents, siblings, and friends rose to their feet to honor the entire class. Many faces were streaked with tears, but also beamed with smiles. It was a day of accomplishment and pride. Congratulations to Douglas High School Class of 2010. Your County is very proud of you.
DOUGLAS HOSTS 3A REGIONALS
by Kelly Pexton
Douglas was host to the 3A East Regional Track and Field Championship May 14-15, 2010. The participants braved the warm sun on Friday and the pelting rain and wind Saturday to show they're made of the right stuff. The Douglas boy’s team took first place overall. They were led by wins from Junior Justin Melton in the 100 -meter
dash and the 200-meter dash with times of 10.99 and 22.07 respectively. Senior Pierre Etchemendy took first place in the discus with a throw of 135’ 2”. Freshmen Ty Etchemendy won the triple jump with a mark of 44’ 7” and Junior Gary Bolinger launched the shot-put 52’ 4” for another victory. The Bearcat 4x800 relay team was also triumphant.
PALEON MUSEUM HOSTS DOUGLAS STUDENTS by Jessica Smith
Over the past few weeks, Glenrock's Paleon Museum has played host to some very special guests from Douglas-the second grade classes. The groups were given a tour of the museum along with packets of questions to answer, and were taken through the prep lab as well. Once the museum tour was completed, the students were then taken to The Rock in the Glen to continue their stint as amateur Paleontologists while they searched the area for 70 million-year-old shark's teeth. Stuart McCrary, Executive Director of the Paleon Museum, was very happy with the level of interest shown by the students, who had just finished a school project on dinosaurs. "They asked so many good questions," McCrary said, "and they were very interested in the fossils-it was great!" McCrary wasn't the only one who was pleased with the process. Pam Downs, who has been teaching at Douglas for 34 years, has been to the Paleon with her classes for five years. "...we want to support
Sean Smith explains fossil preparation to Douglas 2nd graders Lauren Pooley and Riley Seeds. Photo © Jessica Smith the museum," Downs said, "We do have a reading unit on fossils and we read lots of stories about fossils. It's easier for kids to understand what the book's telling them if they can see fossils that we read about...it helps them put it in a little bit of perspective." Downs was also appreciative of the Paleon volunteers and the parents who accompanied her on this trip. "It's nice to have volunteers that can answer their questions [and] it's
great to have parents along to keep track of the kids and help them read the signs," she said.
The Paleon has been giving tours to school groups for over ten years and plans to continue to help educate our youth (and anyone else who wants to learn). For more information about the Paleon Museum, it's programs and operating hours, call 4362667 or visit the Paleon website at www.paleon.org

Heads Were Bowed In Prayer, Tears Were Shed, Fallen Officers Were Remembered.
Peace Officer Memorial Day by Kelly Pexton
On May 14, 2010 at the Wyoming Law Enforcement Academy in Douglas, heads were bowed as four officers were remembered for their service to the state. Peace Officers Memorial Day and Police Week pays tribute to the local and state peace officers. The memorial generally takes place on the 15th of May. The holiday was created on October 1, 1961 when the United States Congress asked President John F. Kennedy to designate May
15th to honor peace officers. JFK signed the bill into law on October 1, 1962. Honored this year were: Town Constable Charles S. Gunn had a shoot-out with a suspect at the Waters Saloon in Lusk, WY January 15, 1887. C. Henry Edwards, Jr. of Cheyenne who died in the line of duty January 23, 1907 after being stabbed while apprehending a suspect. Edwards was quoted as saying, “I did my duty and captured my man, and now I am not afraid to die.”
Greybull Police Department died February 21, 1945 after responding to a disturbance at the Byrd Apartments and an ensuing struggle where he was thrown down a flight of stairs. Anthony B. Nelson was attempting to calm down an individual involved in a fight when he had a heart attack and died October 1950. His name has been added to the Wyoming Peace Officer Memorial in Douglas and the National Law Enforcement Officer Memorial in Washington, D.C.

Miss Wyoming Outstanding Teen 2009, Morgan Mariner, reads to a group of first graders during Tuesday’s celebration at Natural Bridge. Photo © Jessica Smith ers descended upon Natural Bridge to hike, play, and--most importantly--read. The tiny people were taking part in a state-wide celebration of literacy known as 'Wyoming Reads'. Sponsored by the Sue Jorgensen Foundation, the lucky participants in the day of learning are given a high-quality hard back book that has their name inside, a sack lunch, and a day of literacy fun! The Sue Jorgensen Foundation was created by her husband, John, in honor of his late wife who died in an automobile accident in 1996. Mrs. Jorgensen taught for the University of Wyoming on the Casper College Campus. "We wanted to find ways to remember Sue... and I wanted [our children] to remember as well, and that... was the basis for...the Foundation," said John Jorgensen. Created 12 years ago, and initially called 'Casper Cares--Casper Reads', it was a celebration for
not statewide in Wyoming?'. That question was answered 5 years ago when the celebration was launched state-wide and the name changed to Wyoming Reads. Reaching every community in the state, 35 celebrations took place on Tuesday and Governor Freudenthal even proclaimed May 18th as Wyoming Literacy Day! "We settled on having it in the Spring of the 1st grade year with the idea that by that time, most children hav broken the code and are at least readers of some level," Jorgensen explained of the timing, "We wanted to have it be something that would be exciting to as many as possible. Letting them get through the 1st grade year and then doing it right before school gets out also encourages them to read over the summer--[to] not lose those reading skills." Several 'celebrity readers' are invited to read to the groups of excited children at each celebration.
uppance to the groups of lucky children.
The Sue Jorgensen Foundation, which is run solely by volunteers, begins preparing for this important day in September of the previous year--that's not a typo--that's nine months of preparation for our first grade children! "It never gets old seeing those eyes light up when [they] take that book out of the book bag...," said John Jorgensen of the reason behind all the hard work. Jorgensen was quick to shift the accolades to the team of volunteers that make the day possible, "We have a lot of great folks across the state of Wyoming that roll up their sleeves and help us make this work...". With over 7,500 kids that took part in Tuesday's celebration, that would definitely be a job well done!

Cowboy Poet Columnist TJ Casey THE UNFAMOUS COWBOYS He sure weren’t no rodeo cowboy he lived to far in the sticks. But he sure was a hellish bronc stomper… no flash, not fancy, no tricks. He could ride with the best of the stompers
peelin’ the hide and the hair; and if he got throwed was a long way home some how it just didn’t seem fair. So you stuck to yer mount and you rode him ‘till he wouldn’t buck no more. No such thing as an eight second ride… no mark out, no buckle, no score.
These Cowboys I speak of are real but you’ll never have heard their name; Art Cantin, Hy Whitlock, and John Reynolds aren’t in the Cowboy Hall of Fame. They didn’t ride the rodeo circuit tho they still fulfilled their dreams. They could ride most anything with hair at least, that’s how it seems. So I tip my hat to the old hands tho there’s few that know their name; and when I get up there in heaven... I’ll be in these, Cowboy’s halls of fame.

I’m Just Sayin... Politics...its enough to drive you to drink! I'm Just Sayin...... Politics - It's Enough to Drive You to Drink
It's a well known fact that alcoholics and their behavior make you crazy. Sociopaths have the same effect. Unfortunately I’ve had first hand experience with both. Ruminating the other day I was trying to figure out why politics and politicians drive me nuts. Let me offer a few brief thoughts. Traits of a Sociopath (the top 10): 1. Manipulative and Conning 2. Grandiose Sense of Self 3. Glibness/Superficial Charm 4. Pathological Lying 5. Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt 6. Promiscuous Sexual Behavior 7. Authoritarian 8. Secretive 9. Ultimate Goal is to create a willing victim 10. May state readily that their goal is to rule the world Traits of an alcoholic (a few): 1. Lies: to cover up what they’re doing. 2. Denial: deny that they’ve been doing anything wrong 3. Cover Up: they assume they can fool you 4. They assume you’re naïve enough that you won’t know the difference between a lie and the truth 5. Selfish – What they want is more important than anything else
Now I ask you….is there NOW any doubt in your mind why politicians and politics can make you insane? It’s enough to drive you to drink! I’m just sayin……..
