Glenrock’s Deer Creek Research--comprised of its core members Trish Popovitch and Jessica Smith--entered the Bronco Building on West Birch Street to perform a follow-up paranormal investigation.
P.D., Natrona County Sheriff’s Office, the Division of Criminal Investigation, Federal Probation and Parole, and a host of other agencies were involved in the relay from Casper to Glenrock. When the torch reached Glenrock, lead torch carrier Officer Julie Wickett teamed with Glenrock Police Chief Tom Sweet and Officer Jason Hoppa, combining running and biking to relay the torch to its next destination, Douglas. The hilly terrain and high altitude did not deter the Glenrock
participants, as the torch reached Douglas on schedule, Laramie growing ever closer. This year, the Flame of Hope was carried by more than forty different Wyoming law enforcement agencies spanning a total distance of over five hundred miles. Congratulations to Officer Julie Wickett, Glenrock Police Chief Tom Sweet, and Officer Jason Hoppa for keeping the Flame of Hope alive during its arduous journey from Glenrock to Douglas.

gation. Debunking (or proving there's a logical explanation for supposed paranormal occurrences) is an integral part of Deer Creek Research's investigation techniques. After having picked up evidence that couldn't be explained away, it was time to see if the haunting was residual as others thought, or if it was active as these two staunch ladies believed. After the events of the evening unfolded, there was only one conclusion to be made.....active... Beginning the investigation at 9:00 p.m. to ensure low outside people activity in and around the property, the two entered the building and headed upstairs to a room that seemed to have quite a bit of activity. Digital voice recorders were placed along with motion detectors, a video camera, and a K2 meter, and the pair sat down to see what would happen. After approximately 20 minutes had passed with no activity other than the normal creaks and pops of an old building settling, they decided to leave some of the equipment behind and head to a different spot in the hallway where they had simultaneously experienced a strange 'sound vacuum' once before. It was time to experiment with that area and see if they could re-create the experience, so it could be dismissed. After

Glenrock Mayoral and Council Race Shaping Up by staff reporter Mark Dosa
The candidate filing period came to an end on Friday, May 28 at 5:00 p.m., with the seat left open by departing Glenrock Mayor Steve Cielinski, along with the seats of previously appointed councilmen Carl Lembke and Chase Anfinson, are up for election.
As we go to press, four candidates will be vying for town mayor: current councilwoman Linda Care, town postmaster Sue Dills, and long time residents Michael McQueary and Mike Pyatt. Councilmen Lembke and Anfinson are, as of early Friday the 28th, running unopposed.
Cielinski has a long history of service in Glenrock, first appointed to the town council on May 8, 1989. He was formally elected on January 1, 1990 to a two-year council seat, after which he was re-elected on January 1, 1993 and January 1, 1997, both four-year terms.
The long time paramedic and emergency room R.N. began his first stint as mayor on January 8, 2001, a two-year term. He was subsequently re-elected as mayor three additional times, on January 13, 2003 and January 10, 2005 for two-year terms, and on January 8, 2007 for his self-imposed final four-year term.
The current mayor will not be running for re-election after two decades of public service. Cielinski recently mentioned that “I’ve thought a lot about not being mayor, and I’ll have to re-invent that part of my life.”
Fishing, traveling, and spending more time with his family are some of the luxuries Cielinski will be able to enjoy without the burden of mayoral responsibilities constantly looming.
The general election will take place on November 2, 2010. Glenrock’s new mayor will be elected to a four-year term, along with the two elected council members.

Gubernatorial candidate Colin Simpson has a rich political heritage: his father, Alan, was a U.S. senator; his grandfather Milward was not only a U.S. senator, but Wyoming state governor as well.
The candidate strongly believes in the importance of small business, and feels that at the “local level, small businesses can be helped to grow into bigger businesses.”
Consciously or not, the younger Simpson mentioned none of this during a conversation regarding his run for Wyoming governor. Instead, issues important to Wyoming and its future were addressed. While Wyoming is well known for its abundance of oil, coal, and gas, Simpson was asked about the viability of uranium as both a source of power and revenue for the state. “With American ingenuity and technical might it’s possible that the time frame (for the construction of nuclear power plants) could be shortened,” Simpson allowed. The gubernatorial candidate mentioned that a specialized type of steel is required for the construction of such a power plant, which could be another hurdle to overcome in an effort to speed construction.
A life long hunter with a love of and concern for Wyoming’s wildlife, Simpson believes that plans need to be developed in order to control the growing wolf population. “If wolves are killing cows (livestock) the Forest Service will take care of the problem. However, there’s no protection for wildlife, especially in the northwest corner of the state,” Simpson reflected.
The original goal was to bring the wolf population up to 100 with 10 breading pairs. With current estimates of over 300 wolves with more than 40 breeding pairs, there is a concern among many Wyomingites, including Simpson, that action needs to be taken to ensure the safety of livestock and the preservation of the wildlife the wolves prey upon. As the conversation wound down, Simpson was asked how he might respond to a new Wyoming resident who asked, “Why should I vote for Colin Simpson?” “I would assume you moved here because of something you feel is great about this state,” Simpson began. “I have been a
part of many of the good things that have happened here in the last twelve years. I understand agriculture, Wyoming industry, the government side and budgets. I believe in keeping taxes low.
“Whatever brought you here is what I want to protect and enhance.”
Simpson will be visiting Glenrock on June 4, with a definite stop at the Senior Center during lunchtime and a meet and greet at a venue yet to be determined.
Feel free to call The Glenrock Bird at 307-298-5107 or visit our Facebook page to get up to date information on Colin Simpson’s upcoming visit.
For Their Tomorrow We Gave Our Today
“There is a lot of activity with uranium in Wyoming,” Simpson offered. “The market (for energy) will determine whether this will translate (uranium) into electricity.” While Wyoming can be proud of its education system compared to most other states, Simpson is concerned about not just maintaining the status quo but improving the education afforded Wyomingites. The long time Wyoming legislator believes teachers, students, parents, administrators, and elected officials all need to be held accountable for student success. Simpson is aware that while parental involvement is crucial, it is also a component that schools have the least control over. “Whatever can be done on a local level to get parents involved with kids, even if it’s coming to the classroom once a month has to be looked at,” Simpson stressed. “We need to look at different ways to create good public partnerships and increase parental involvement.”

Every May 31st we observe the federal holiday of Memorial Day. Formerly known as Decoration Day it was first enacted to honor Union soldiers of the American Civil War and then expanded after World War 1. Its purpose is to commemorate United States men and women who have died while in service of their country. This holiday has become, over the years, a time for family gatherings, barbecues, picnics, beach going and other joyful events. But let’s not forget that our freedom to do as we please has not come without cost. As we gather together to enjoy the unofficial beginning of sum-
mer, remember that the liberty to wear what you want, say what you think, choose to do as you wish and go where you like has been afforded to us at the cost of many lives. Whether you currently have family members in the military, or relatives that have fought or given their lives in generations past we are all directly impacted by the gift of independence they have provided. Let’s not fail to remember the sacrifice they made. I have a good friend who is honoring those that gave their lives in a rather unique way. Since she doesn’t live close to where her veteran relatives have been laid to rest she’s going to visit the local cemetery each day
of the holiday weekend. She plans to seek out the section set apart for veterans and attend to the graves of those that have no flowers or look neglected. This is her way of saying thanks for the gift her own ancestors have given this nation. “I hope someone does the same for my brother,” she said. “It would make me happy to know that someone cares.” “When you go home, Tell them of us and say, For their tomorrow, We gave our today.

Simpson has spoken with Wyoming teachers and administrators and is aware that current testing needs to be improved. “There is a system of data reporting that has been created over the last five or six years, but we are not at this point able to correlate how students perform (as reported by test scores) and funds spent. There needs to be a better means of assessment,” Simpson added. The current PAWS testing is cumbersome and time consuming, in some cases taking more than a month for completion. Simpson believes that technical and vocational training is crucial, and care should be taken that opportunities for education in these fields remain avail-

Glenrock’s Biggest Loser Final Weigh in on June 1 by staff reporter Mark Dosa
Body weight and weight loss have become a national obsession. Corporations like Jenny Craig, Medifast, and Weight Watchers have hoards of clients who eagerly pay hundreds, even thousands of dollars in the hopes of shedding unwanted pounds. Supermarkets, health food stores, and mail order houses all carry products that claim weight loss is just a purchase away. In 2009, weight loss industry revenue as a whole eclipsed 3.8 billion dollars, with over 67,000 weight loss establishments. This is by no means a small potato enterprise.
Here in Glenrock, a cheaper, simpler, and by many accounts more enjoyable way to lose weight is experienced by residents who participate in “The Biggest Loser” program. A weight loss regime, The Biggest Loser has participants weigh in on a regular basis to keep track of where they stand in relation to others in the program. Each participant paid a modest sum when they joined the program. The monies were then pooled, to be awarded to the top three ‘losers’ during the final weigh in. According to program administrator Vicki Widiker, the final weigh in will take place on
Tuesday, June 1, between 6:00 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Participants will gather at the Rec Center for the final weigh in. If you are currently participating in The Biggest Loser, Widiker stresses the importance of attending the final weigh in. With prize money on the line, it would seem that little prompting would be needed to ensure all participants are on hand. Again, the final weigh in for The Biggest Loser will take place on Tuesday, June 1 at the Rec Center between 6:00 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Be there to see first hand who takes this years title.
Torrington Septuagenarian Democrat a Long Shot for Wyoming Governor by staff reporter Mark Dosa
Al Hamburg is a 78 year old retired housepainter and a man who’s run for political office seventeen times. According to Hamburg, he’s a registered Democrat with views that often run counter to the general party line. He is also a candidate for governor of Wyoming. While yet to achieve his goal of attaining political office, Hamburg has served his country in the military, being a veteran of both the Korean and Vietnam wars. The Torrington resident served in the 3rd infantry during the Korean conflict as a forward observer, fighting alongside troops from Belgium and Italy. Hamburg stated that after his service in Korea, he enlisted under his brother Howard’s name, eager to engage in the conflict that had begun to rage in Vietnam. While the
circumstances surrounding the septuagenarian’s desire to use his brother’s name to enlist for duty in Vietnam are unclear, the results are not. His ruse was discovered six months after enlistment, and a court martial seemed imminent. According to Hamburg, subsequent coverage of his predicament during a segment of Walter Cronkite’s network news saved him from the dishonor. Hamburg had high hopes for President Obama but has since become dismayed with many of the current administration’s objectives. “I hoped Obama would be great, but amnesty for illegal aliens really upsets me,” Hamburg opined. “I’ve written over ninety letters to newspapers about problems with the current administration,” Hamburg revealed. “I’m concerned about coal,” Hamburg continued. “We need to push lawmakers for more

mineral taxes, more taxes on coal,” the seventeen time political candidate emphasized. “The Democratic party says it can’t find a candidate,” the Torrington resident stated with dismay. “I’m a veteran of Korea and Vietnam, and served in Germany and Japan. If those aren’t good qualifications, I don’t know what are.” Hamburg might be considered by some a modern day Don Quixote, tilting at imaginary windmills, fighting unwinnable battles. Others may see him as a resolute soul, an idealist unwilling to modify his beliefs about politics and the way our government should be run.

There is a quote by Joseph Addison that says "Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body." K- 5th graders strengthened their minds to become 'Reading Champs,' this years theme, for the At Home Reading Incentive Program which challenged students to continue their training at home. Each student was asked to read a minimum number of minutes on their own time after school and on weekends. They then returned bookmarks to their teacher noting the time they had spent doing so. At the end of each month those who had reached the monthly goal were allowed to participate in fun events that went with the theme, like an obstacle course or dart throwing to pop balloons. Arlene Jackson, Literacy Fa-
cilitator and co-director of the program, said that the rate of participation was typically dependent on age level with the youngest students leading the reading race at a whopping 100%. And while the numbers varied month to month, Jackson said 311 out of 315 students were able to take part in the final celebration of Champions, meaning they had to have participated at some point during the school year. The grand finale for the readers was a trip to Casper to enjoy a day at the lanes, El Mark-o lanes that is. They were able to try their hand at being bowling champs, although keeping track of score was the last thing on the minds of these kids. They were too busy having fun. For many of the students this was the first time they had ever been bowling, a real treat indeed!
but the reading fun continues. The Wyoming Association of Elementary and Middle School Principals has the Summer Reading Program, students are asked to keep track of the minutes they read this summer and return a record of it when they return to school in the fall to earn incentives. And the Collaborative Summer Reading Program at the Glenrock Branch Library will be starting their very wet themes with registration starting June 1st and running through the length of the program. Look for announcements in The Bird and stop by the Library so you don't miss out on all the exciting events they have planned and chances to earn great stuff from places like McDonalds, The Casper Ghosts, Deer Creek Drug, Hardware Hanks, Flicks, and Cinema Cafe.
This school year may be done,
Whatever the case may be, Al Hamburg will be running for political office for the eighteenth time in the coming months, this time for governor of Wyoming, with tenacity of a bulldog and a healthy dose of self-belief.

ROCKING THE TRASH CAN
by Jessica Smith
On Thursday, May 20th, Glenrock Intermediate Middle School gave its last 5th and 6th grade Music Concert and what a concert it was! The 6th grade band began the performance with “Trumpet Tune” an upbeat song that utilized the brass of the band, and ended with one of the most rousing ‘tunes’ imag-
inable called “Double Take”, which was played with sticks and trashcans—yes, trashcans! “We’ve been wanting to do something like that for a long time,” said Instrumental Music Director, Jeremy Huck, “…they play on trashcans in my pullout class…[and] about a month ago we had the Guernsey Jr. High and High School students—
they have a group that plays on trashcans and buckets and things—so they came up and performed for the 5th and 6th graders and…they gave us several ideas like decorating with the spray paint and using the big poles…and in watching ‘Stomp’ on video they do a thing where two of their guys have 50gallon barrels strapped onto their feet and they come stomping out, so I didn’t think we would have the leg strength in 6th graders…so we just used the trash cans and I just bolted some old boots down onto there and spray painted them silver. That part of [the song] was made up—it wasn’t in the music…we just said, ‘Okay just stomp on the beats’.” The amazing arrangement was very well received by the crowd
Cierra Dawson of Glenrock High School has been awarded the National GEAR UP Scholarship. According to the Wyoming GEAR UP website, ‘the GEAR UP (Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs) program is a collaborative effort among educational levels from middle school through post-secondary within the state of Wyoming’. Funded at the Federal level, each state can apply for six-year grants for the program. The Wyoming GEAR UP Project provides services to 2,000 low-income, pre-college students each year. Among those services are career exploration, college preparation, ACT preparation, and assistance with financial aid processes and procedures. Miss Dawson will
have two years of her college paid for—up to 100% because of this scholarship. In order to qualify for a National GEAR UP scholarship, a student must meet several criteria beyond what is expected at the state level, such as choosing a major not offered by the educational institutions of his/ her home state, be passing all classes, be involved in at least 2 extra-curricular activities, and have no less than 25 community service hours (Cierra had well over 300!). With all of her activities and a cumulative GPA of 3.275, Dawson had no problem meeting the requirements. Miss Dawson will be attending Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts, which is about 45 minutes outside of Boston.
Why so far away? It has to do with the area of study for Cierra Dawson. “They are the only ones that I found that offer the Holocaust and Genocide Studies,” she said. “I really like learning about it...the whole time just fascinates me,” she continued before adding that her ultimate goal, “…is to teach people about this time…I think it’s not talked about as much [as it should be].” Cierra plans to obtain her PhD in the field of Holocaust and Genocide Studies, and ultimately would like to work in either Auschwitz or Dachau—two of the largest and most infamous concentration camps of World War II. “I want to give tours of those places…,[or] teach a college class,” she explained, “I would really like to go over to Europe…, but…I’m just taking it one step at a time.”
Muscle cramps, ever had one?
If you answered yes, you know how uncomfortable and debilitating they can be. Well what causes muscle cramps? The answer is: Just about any activity that requires movement. Actually the correct answer is unknown cited from the British Journal of Sports Medicine 2009.
The young people in these music groups are definitely ones to watch in their upcoming years Principal Smith dances along as the kids sing at Glenrock “Our Principal is a Pirate. Photo © Jessica schools. The level of talent Smith in the group is watch as the students mature in one rarely seen and should become amazing to age and musical ability.
Although she is excited to begin her studies, Cierra knows that leaving will be a bittersweet moment in her life—especially when it comes to her little sister, Katie. “I’m really sad…she’s my best friend, so it’s really hard to leave her,” she explained, “We’ll be fine, it will just be weird not hanging out with my sister every day.” To help alleviate some of the loneliness, Cierra’s parents purchased her and Katie matching cell phones as a graduation present so they can talk whenever they feel the need…except, of course, during class. The hard-working Miss Dawson actually received 5 scholarships to help with her education: The Hathaway Scholarship (which she won’t be able to accept due to attending college in another
state), and scholarships from Eastern Wyoming College, the PTO, the Lions Club, and Burns Insurance. Her GEAR UP scholarship will kick in once the other four have been depleted and will pay for the remainder of the two years she will begin in Massachusetts this fall. “I’m way stoked,” she said smiling, “I can’t wait!” Cierra Dawson knows how hard she’s had to work to get this far, but she also knows she didn’t do it alone. “I really couldn’t have done it…without all of them pushing me,” she said, “Miss Bolan, Miss Reinhart, my Mom, my sister…,and Mrs. Stahl…I probably wouldn’t be as far as I am…I don’t know how to say ‘Thank You’ enough.”
GHOST SIGHTING CONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE sitting in an area near where there experience had occurred, Trish began to call out, "Is there someone here with us?", "Can you make a noise?", and then at the other end of the hallway..... BOOM ....BOOM......as if two giant steps had been taken forward....towards them.....this was no settling of the building.... Then, as Jessica watched, "Trish's eyes got really big...she was looking down the hallway towards the west. She began to blink in rapid succession which let me know she was testing her eyes to make sure there was nothing causing her
to see whatever it was she was seeing." After a few moments, Trish was sure, "Jesse are you seeing this?" Not wanting to look, but bound by the urgency in Trish's voice, Jessica peeked through the racks she was sitting by. "I'm sorry, hon, but all I see is the light pulsing and my eyes always make the dark look like that." "I'm seeing something at the end of the hallway, it looks like a kid with a sheet over his head...look again!" Trish's voice said, "I cannot be the only one seeing this!" Jessica then leaned out around the racks to look down the hall in the direction Trish was. At first, she saw nothing but the pulsing
dark, "I'm really sorry Trish," she said, "but I just don't see it.".....and then, she did....."Wait a minute," Jess said, her voice a mixture of disbelief and awe. The two shined a flashlight down the hallway to make sure no one was messing with them-even though they were in a locked building with limited access. Believing that Jessica hadn't seen anything, Trish was quite agitated at the time and so Jessica, still trying to process what she had seen, suggested they take a break downstairs. Once they were downstairs and trying to calm down, Jessica said to Trish, "I am going to describe
something to you and I want to know if it is what you were seeing." "Did you see it?!?" Trish asked. Jessica answered with, "Did you see something dove gray, shorter than you by a little bit, and with it's 'head' looking like it was tilted to one side?" "YOU DID SEE IT!" Trish exclaimed, smacking Jess on the arm. While Trish had watched the "apparition" for several minutes, it took Jessica until the very end of its appearance to see it, and when she finally did it was in a different place than where Trish saw it. The two went back the next day and the next day to see if they could debunk what they had seen....so
far, it cannot be recreated. While the investigators of Deer Creek Research are still hesitant to say they saw a 'ghost', the realization that they may very well have seen something that not very many paranormal groups are privileged enough to see, is very exciting and very humbling to them at the same time. The investigation into the Bronco Building is ongoing and there will be a shut-in with Deer Creek Research at the Library in June.

There is more than just one cause to the muscle cramp. Though there are a few common reasons for muscles to cramp up: altered neuromuscular control, dehydration, poor conditioning, muscle fatigue, electrolyte depletion, and starting a new activity.
Probably the most common reason for muscle cramps is exercise induced. As we start to exercise/work our bodies begin to heat up. The brain tells the body to start cooling itself off with sweat.
As we sweat we lose vital salts such as calcium which is used for muscle contractions. Potassium is used by the heart as the main contractile electrolyte. Magnesium is absorbed by the bones which help in bone mineral density, but is also important for carbohydrate metabolism.
Without proper carbohydrate metabolism we won’t have the energy we need to continue the activity. If there is a deficiency in any one of these electrolytes one can expect muscles to cramp up soon.
So what should be done if a cramp happens? Well first stop the activity. Stretch and rub the muscle that is cramping. During the stretch DON’T bounce, instead hold still while stretching. What can be done to prevent cramps? Stay hydrated, even during the winter months, warm muscles up before using them. Much like your car give it a chance to warm-up. Then after the activity lightly stretch. Stretch to slight discomfort NOT painful, and once again don’t bounce - hold in place.

There’s a New Chief in Town by Kelly Pexton
There’s a new chief in town. Ryan Evans of Monticello, Iowa, has been named Douglas’ new Chief of Police. During a special City Council meeting May 17, Interim City Administrator Forrest Neuerburg announced the appointment of Evans. The council followed with a unanimous approval. Immediately following the announcement Councilman Kathy Russell stated, “This was a dif-
ficult decision.” “We had three strong candidates and that was a very fortunate position to be in.” Councilman Tony Reynolds then stated, “I would concur with everything Councilman Russell just stated we did have very good candidates for this position.” Former Police Chief Lori Emmert retired February 5. Since that time Sgt. Ron Casalenda has been serving as Acting Chief of Police. Evans is schedule to take over the postion June 21. Evans, Casalenda, and Douglas
Police Department Sgt. Todd Matthews were the final three candidates in contention for the position. Initially 34 applicants threw their hats in the ring for the chief position. The Sheriff and Chief’s Association of Wyoming then helped narrow down the search to the final three. They made their recommendation, to which Neuerburg and the City Council agreed.
petition. Evans has been serving in that post for the past six years. He has also worked in law enforcement in Newton, Iowa, and the Iowa Great Lakes Region. Over the course of the next few years Evans will be working toward obtaining his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in criminal justice.
Democratic candidate for State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Mike Massie, popped into the Glenrock Bird office this past week to introduce himself to the staff. We were immediately struck by his height and baritone timbre, but what stuck with us long after was his open and honest conversation, his common sense approach to the education of students, and his aspirations for what the office of SPI could be now and in the future. Working as a public servant isn't a very popular position these days; when we asked him "why" he wanted to run for a position that receives a large amount of scrutiny as well as derision he answered that "it was time to do something different." Having been a state legislator for the past 16 years representing Albany County, Mike briefly considered running as a gubernatorial candidate, but after visiting with many individuals from around our great state he found that education appeared to be on everyone's mind; thus the decision to run for the Superintendent of Public Instruction position. "Education is a critical issue. The future of our state depends upon a quality work force; the future of our state depends upon our children and their education. We must move away from a system that produces children that are good at regurgitating information. We must teach them to be
critical thinkers with problem solving abilities. These skills will aid them in the real world. Education should not be the business of producing widgets. In the 13 years that our children are receiving public instruction, we must help them build the knowledge and ability to do whatever they wish in life. When education is truly excellent, the lessons learned in 12 years of school will carry students all of the way through life on whatever path they choose: professional career, college, parenthood, skilled labor and citizenship. A strong educational system paves the way for an educated workforce at all levels and helps diversify our eceonomy. It keeps our graduates in Wyoming and increases the quality of life in our communities." A key issue facing the superintendent office is the Proficiency Assessment for Wyoming Students (PAWS). "PAWS is flawed and needs to be replaced. It is riddle with mistakes (computer screens freeze up, incorrect instructions on the math component, computers would shut down midtest, large consumption of classroom time, etc.) and doesn't tell us enough about student's abilities. Whatever test we use, it must be one that will measure individual abilities of the students and free up the teachers' time." When pressed about what tests he would implement, Mike suggested national standardized tests that have been proven through time

as possible options to the PAWS test. "Student assessment must include classroombased exams, a tracking system to measure individual student progress and a statewide test."
by Terry Burton
Mike also advocated strongly for parental involvement. While he recognized this as a lofty goal, he feels that constant advocacy of parental involvement and partnering with entities within our own communities (i.e. early childhood centers) will help the state achieve it's goals for education. "The Department of Education does not need to be bigger; it needs to be better at working with the many resources available to it. It must lead the effort and provide the constructive oversight to ensure success." As the current economic status continues, many school districts are finding that providing a broad-based curriculum is not possible; funding for the arts, vocational/technical and physical programs seem to be the first to go. When asked about this trend Mike answered, "We must challenge all students
to do their best by offering a comprehensive curriculum that permits students to follow their interests." According to Massie, a comprehensive curriculum is one that offers basic core knowledge and skills plus other choices to pursue individuals passions (arts, vo-tech, physical). "This needs to be in place 'right from the get go'......K/1" Additional information about Mike Massie can be found on his website 'www.massieforexcellence.com'. Candidate filing deadline looms ever nearer, May 28, 2010 for the August 17th primary election. Independents have until the 23rd of August to file for the general election in November.

Wyoming Agriculture in the Classroom had their 16th annual celebration to honor the 2010 winners of the bookmark contest on May 7th in Cheyenne. Each year the Wyoming Department of Agriculture sponsors a bookmark contest for all the 3rd, 4th and 5th graders in Wyoming. This year there were over 800 entries with 10 winners being chosen from 5 categories. Two fourth graders from Converse County were among the winners! Dazie Cornick in the Predator Management Division and Adrian Mora in the Weed and Pest Management Division were chosen as 1st place winners. Both girls are in Mr. Lance's 4th grade class at Douglas Intermediate School. Dazie and Adriana's class at DIS were awarded lunch from Pizza Hut and bookmarks as their first award for being chosen winners. On May 7th the
girls, their families , and Mr. Lance traveled to Cheyenne for their official celebration. They were treated to a tour of the state capitol and visited with Cynthia Lummis, member of the US House of Representatives. Governor Dave Freudenthal presented the children with Wyoming hat pens and a state quarter. Lunch was provided by the Laramie county Cowbells at the Hereford Ranch.
Wyoming Department of Agriculture's Jason Fearneyhough presented the children with prize filled backpacks, $25.00 cash award, framed copies of their bookmarks, and state fair rodeo tickets. The children will also be recognized at the Wyoming State Fair on August 20, 2010.
Bookmarks from all the winners will be distributed through out the state and can be picked up at local banks, libraries and courthouses.
Converse County Creates Wind Energy Questionnaire by staff reporter Mark Dosa
The Converse County Planning and Zoning Board recently developed and implemented an on-line wind energy questionnaire. The preface to the on-line questionnaire states “This survey is NOT a straw poll to judge overall support or opposition to county regulation of wind energy, but a way to focus discussions on those issues that concern County residents and property owners most.”
The survey contains fourteen questions, ranging from simple ‘check the box’ type queries to questions allowing up to 250 characters of user input.
There are a total of five open ended questions in the survey.
Individuals interested in taking the survey can access it at
www.surveymonkey.com/s/ CC_Wind_Energy_Questionnaire.

Who work from the back of a Cayuse, On what range that is left in the west,
The life of the cowboy is changin’, It’s not quite like it used to be, The ones who are good, now are agin’, They’re no longer horseback and free,
So all of you cowboys that’s real, Still forkin’ your broncs on the range, Our heritage don’t let them steal, Our heritage don’t let them change,
It’s gone to the cycle and the pickup, And there’s only a few of us left,
Hold your heads high and remember, There’s only a few of us left,
It’s hard for the old hands to do it, So young ones you’ve got it to face, Get a long rope and saddle your ponies, For it’s round up time on the place, So all you young cowboys that’s real, Still forkin’ your broncs on the range, Our heritage don’t let them steal, Our heritage don’t let them change, Hold you heads high and remember, There’s only a few of us here, To carry on all of the old ways, Till the horses and cows disappear…

I’m Just Sayin...
TRIPLE FAIL When President Bush missed the Memorial Day ceremony at Arlington in order to spend time at his ranch in Texas the Mainstream Media (MSM) cranked up the heat and challenged Bush for his lack of support for the troops. I’m waiting for those same MSM people to challenge Barrack Obama (BO) for his same ‘lack of support.’ Won’t happen. The MSM suggests that BO is going to Chicago to keep a “campaign promise” to visit The Windy City every six weeks. Hmmm .. last time he went it was February. Memorial Day comes once a year. Last I checked Chicago would still be there next weekend. Of course he needs to be able to say he's keeping SOME of his campaign promises - even if this one is so insignificant as to be laughable. FAIL. This President hasn’t missed many opportunities for getaway weekends at the taxpayer’s expense. Let’s see, he took Michelle for a weekend of theater and dancing, but that was New York not Chicago. A couple weeks ago he took a weekend off when he should have been attending to the oil spill. Was that Chicago? No that was to a spa in North Carolina. Wasn’t BO and his family on a beach vacation in Hawaii when the underwear bomber was caught. Don’t think we heard from him in days after that incident because, according to his staff, he didn’t want to draw undue attention to the attempt. That statement from the same President who wants to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in New York City in a media event that would make aliens from outer space a minor incident. DOUBLE FAIL.
According to Lynn Sweet, a columnist and the Washington Bureau Chief for the Chicago Sun-Times, BO is heading to Chicago for a “casual Memorial Day with friends.” In a colossal error of judgment the President has decided that campaigning and grilling weenies with friends is more important that laying the wreath at Arlington Cemetery. Wasn’t it he, in a commencement address at the United States Naval Academy, who said that Memorial Day isn’t simply about cookouts and family gatherings but “it is about doing all we can to repay the debt we owe to those men and women who have answered our nation’s call by fighting under its flag.” Arlington Cemetery is one of the most sacred pieces of ground in this country, and the Commander in Chief, leader of our armed forces should be there this weekend. TRIPLE FAIL.
So while the rest of us honor our soldiers who have given their lives for our freedom the Mainstream Media will persist in finger-pointing. The rationalizations will abound for BO’s lack of judgment and priorities, his lack of respect for our fallen soldiers, and the overall disregard for the traditions in this nation. And the oil spill will continue to pollute our oceans with no solution in sight. Afterall - You can't find work so why should he? And anybody with half a brain would realize it’s all George Bush’s fault anyway. I’m just sayin………
