Wasatch Wind Open House Draws a Crowd
Haynes Takes Third In Governor’s Race The wind farm, a 66-turbine, 100-megawatt facility, would occupy nearly 30,000 acres of mostly private land. The wind energy industry has its sights set on Wyoming because of the high quality of the state’s wind resources.
G L E N R O C K — Construction of Top of the World wind farm along with a significant maintenance project at the Dave Johnston Power Plant during the past year was a boom to local merchants who are feeling the effects now that those projects have been completed. The influx of workers for both projects resulted in noticeable increases in revenues for most Glenrock merchants, and virtually all of them say that today they are seeing decreased traffic and income. “We noticed when they left,� says Guy Magnus, manager of the Deer Creek Bar & Lounge. Ginger Norgaard of Glenrock Cleaners says the power plant project resulted in more business for her establishment, but the wind farm workers frequented the place, too. “You could hardly get in here on weekends with everyone using the washers and dryers,� Norgaard says. “Business is noticeably down. I’m up for anything that increases business.� The 20 rooms at the All American Inn generally were full with workers staying for weeks at a time. “You had different crews for different parts of the project,� Glenna Hunter says. “One group would finish up their work and then a different group would come in with the different phases of the project.� She says that during the past year, at least half of the rooms were constantly occupied by workers, estimating that 16 to 20 workers at a time would be staying there.

Andrews attended the Wasatch Wind open house last Tuesday evening asking critical questions about potential impact of the project on the town’s water resources. He has been in touch with the Department of Environmental Quality and the Environmental Protection Agency to avail himself of their technical resources in order to properly protect those resources. “I am concerned,� Andrews says. “I have presented my concerns to Wasatch Wind and they are addressing those concerns.� He says the towns wells are very deep, but he is concerned
about the potential impact of runoff from the project into the aquifer that could migrate into the wells. “The recharge area for our groundwater source could suffer potential impact from the wind project,â€?

He doesn’t foresee any problems that would halt the wind project; he just wants to make sure the company meets all the legal requirements of what needs to be done.

I am writing in support of the Pioneer Wind Park being proposed by Wasatch Wind and in support of wind energy development in general. I am writing because I am concerned that pressure from outside LQWHUHVWV FRXOG LQĂ€XHQFH the County Commissioners to enact onerous rules and/or zoning regulations which could delay or even result in the withdrawal of this and future wind projects.

we have enjoyed record business at the Four Aces primarily as a result of the Duke Energy wind project north of town. I believe the Pioneer Wind Park project will provide a similar economic stimulus and I am sure other wind energy investors will look more favorably on our County for future projects if we demonstrate our willingness to be reasonable.
I served as a charter member of the Glenrock Economic Development Commission. This Commission has expended great efforts to attract new businesses to locate in Glenrock with very little to show for it.

Lady Herders Basketball Looks at Promising Season GLENROCK—After a season of injuries last year that required considerable juggling of the starting lineup throughout the season, Lady Herders Basketball Coach Tony Lehner is hoping for a more predictable rotation during the coming season.
“It just evaporated,â€? he says. Âł:H ORVW ÂżYH NLGV WR LQMXU\ throughout the year, a couple of them to knee injuries and lost them for the season. The injuries really cost us. :H KDG ÂżYH RU VL[ GLIIHUHQW combinations of starters during the course of the year.â€?
Despite all the misfortune, the team won 17 games last year, and the experience gained by some of the younger players due to the injuries to starters should give Lehner, who is entering his 38th year of coaching sports in Glenrock, something to build on.
Despite the injuries, Lehner says they felt like they had a good year with 17 wins. He stresses the fundamentals of the game as the best predictor of wins. “It comes down to whoever can do those the best,� he says.
“It’s been a real thrill for me and something I’ve been excited to be able to do,� Lehner says of his long tenure coaching in Glenrock. “I’ve had my ups and downs.� This is his seventh season coaching girls basketball at Glenrock High School and he says it’s been very rewarding working with the kids. “The girls have been really great,� he says. “They respond to my coaching very well; they’re easy to work with. They listen well and they get just as excited and competitive as any boys team I ever coached.� Last year, Lehner says, they went into the season with greater depth on the roster than they’d had in a number of years.
Sunday November 14, 2010
With four returning lettermen, Lehner says, he is looking forward to having an experienced group of players this year. “We had a good bunch of JV kids and last year’s freshmen showed a lot of promise, so I think we have an opportunity to have a very successful season,� he says. “We had a successful JV team that did really well and some of those kids will move up to the varsity level. I think there’ll be some sophomores that can help us out as well.� As for the injuries last year, Lehner looks at the positive side of the situation.

I’m Just Sayin... Thankfulness, Gratitude and Appreciation I'm Just Sayin.... by Susan R. Stoltz In keeping with my article of last week about being thankful for the ‘thorns’ in our lives, I ran across this poem while looking for inspiration. Though the author is unknown it certainly rings true.
Be Thankful Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire. If you did, what would there be to look forward to? Be thankful when you don't know something, for it gives you the opportunity to learn. %H WKDQNIXO IRU WKH GLI¿FXOW WLPHV During those times you grow. Be thankful for your limitations, because they give you opportunities for improvement. Be thankful for each new challenge, because it will build your strength and character. Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach you valuable lessons. Be thankful when you're tired and weary, because it means you've made a difference. It's easy to be thankful for the good things. $ OLIH RI ULFK IXO¿OOPHQW FRPHV WR WKRVH ZKR are also thankful for the setbacks. Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.

November is National Diabetes Month Prevention and Treatment Options Encouraged for Diabetes With a growing diabetes burden in the state, the Wyoming Department of Health is working to educate Wyoming residents about diabetes prevention and treatment measures. An estimated 30,000 Wyoming residents have diabetes. The 2009 rate of diabetes in Wyoming adults was 7 percent, which has more than doubled since 1995 according to the Wyoming Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that about onethird of all diabetes cases are not diagnosed, which could mean Wyoming’s actual rate is about 9.3 percent. Diabetesresults when the body cannot produce enough insulin to transport sugar from the blood to body cells, which results in high blood sugar. This high blood sugar, or glucose, affects other organs and systems in the body and results in severe and potentially life-threatening complications, including cardiovascular disease, stroke, lower-extremity amputations, neuropathy
(impaired sensation of pain in the feet or hands), endstage kidney disease and blindness.
Sherard encouraged state residents to reduce their chances of developing type 2 diabetes by engaging in regular physical activity, “Type 1 diabetes can occur maintaining a healthy weight, at any age, but is most often and making nutritious food diagnosed in young people,” choices. “For people already said Dr. Brent Sherard, living with diabetes, these Wyoming Department of healthy lifestyle changes Health director and state can help manage diabetes KHDOWK RI¿FHU ³7KLV IRUP RI and delay or even prevent the disease is managed by a complications,” he said. lifetime of regular insulin treatment.” Recently updated State Diabetes Clinical Type 2 diabetes is far more Recommendations, put common. “The number together by a statewide of people developing an committee of diabetes increased risk for diabetes is educators and health growing at an alarming rate,” providers, can be found Sherard said. “Risk is highest online at http://www.health. among people older than w y o . g o v / p h s d / d i a b e t e s / 45, especially for those who recommendations.html are overweight, inactive, or have a family history of the The Wyoming Department of disease, as well as among Health’s Diabetes Prevention certain racial and minority and Control Program offers groups.” a website that can help :\RPLQJ UHVLGHQWV ¿QG “With more Wyoming reliable diabetes resources residents becoming and information by county at affected by diabetes and its http://www.health.wyo.gov/ consequences every day, phsd/diabetes. we should work together to better prevent, manage, and treat this disease in all its variations,” Sherard said.

GAME AND FISH ANNOUNCES PHEASANT RELEASES CHEYENNE - With the coming of November, much of the interest of Wyoming's hunters turns to birds, with pheasants being among the most popular quarry. The Game and Fish supplements Wyoming pheasant hunting with releases on a number of the publically accessible areas that will be stocked with pheasants periodically throughout the season. In Goshen County, walkin areas 19, 29 and 63 will be stocked with rooster pheasants. The Table Mountain Wildlife Habitat Management Area (WHMA) in Goshen County will also be stocked. In Laramie County, walk-in areas 21 and 34 will be stocked and in Platte County, stockings are planned for walk-in areas 23, 24 and 51. Hunters should note that the walk-in atlas does not list area 51 as open to pheasant hunting, but a later addition to the area allows pheasant hunting. Weather permitting,
Sunday November 14, 2010
the walk-in areas will receive two releases per week through mid December. There will be no releases at Bump-Sullivan Reservoir due to the managed goose hunt resuming due to WKH UHVHUYRLU UH¿OOLQJ In northeast Wyoming, walkin areas scheduled to receive weekly releases of birds are # 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 in Sheridan County. In addition, Buffalo Run state land east of Sheridan will be stocked as will the Welch property north of Sheridan. Ulm state land off County Road 161 southeast of Wyarno will also be stocked. Walk-in area 2 in Campbell County will be stocked as will areas 9 and 11 in Johnson County. Hunters are reminded that in Johnson County, walk-in area 9 does not open to pheasant hunting until Nov. 15. The Bud Love Wildlife Habitat Management Area near Buffalo will also be stocked as will the Fort Phil Kearney Hunter Management area. The Fort Phil Kearney HMA is stocked only in December and a permission
slip is required. In the central part of the state, pheasants will be stocked on the Yellowtail WHMA near Lovell and the Sand Mesa and Ocean Lake WHMAs near Riverton. In addition to appropriate licenses, all hunters, regardless of age, must purchase a pheasant management stamp for $12.50 to hunt on walk-in areas, WHMAs and Glendo State Park. A complete listing of pheasant seasons in the state's various hunt areas along with regulations and areas where the pheasant stamp is required is found in the current upland bird regulations.
