The Loss Of A Home Town Hero Deputy Bryan Gross
Gray-Wolf Population
Converse County Sheriff’s Deputy Bryan Gross and his companion/ partner “Gus”.
by Dustin Bleizeffer A partnership between GE Energy and the University of Wyoming to build a coalgasification research center to ensure the future viability of Wyoming coal has been “delayed” due to the lack of a federal energy policy. For the past year, utilities have told Wyoming officials that they can no longer include new coal facilities in their planning until the federal government decides exactly how it will regulate greenhouse gases and other pollutants.

Now with little to no growth for coal in the U.S. market, Wyoming coal producers are focused on shipping the domestic energy resource to China.
“It was something that former Governor Freudenthal, now a board member of Arch Coal, thought was crucial to the state’s future and our state legislature agreed,” Garrett told WyoFile via email. “I would like to see our current governor and the state legislature step back up to the plate and tell GE — and Washington D.C. — that we do things differently in Wyoming.” Garrett added that Wyoming committed to a longterm effort in pursuing coalgasification technology for Wyoming coal, and it ought to stick to that commitment. “I think our congressional delegation needs to do the same thing,” Garrett added.

Missouri To Get 91 Million Tons of Wyoming Coal
The coal industry has lobbied hard against the regulation of greenhouse gases.
At a funding level of $100 million, the UW-GE High Plains Coal Gasification project was a relatively modest attempt to change the dynamic and to begin to add value to Wyoming coal by reducing its carbon footprint, said Richard Garrett of the Wyoming Outdoor Council.

Former Herder Nikki Tresch named “All American” Converse County Sheriff’s Deputy Bryan Gross bravely entered the waters of the North Platte River on Thursday, July 28th to aid in the rescue of a young female struggling in the strong currents and unusually deep waters of the river between Yellowstone and the West Richards Bridge in Douglas. Deputy Gross was unaccounted for after a headcount of rescuers, immediately following the rescue of the young female. A search ensued and three days later Converse County Sheriff Clint Becker issued the official word that on Sunday morning
July 31st, the body of Deputy Bryan Gross was located and pulled from the river near the Anderson bridge in Douglas, approximately 1.5 miles from where he entered the waters. Search and Rescue teams and volunteers from around the state, including Converse County and Natrona County and the state of Montana worked endlessly for three days combing the river waters and banks in the search for Deputy Gross. His co-workers included. A memorial service for Deputy Bryan Gross was held on Saturday August, 6th 2011 at 11:00

Wyoming State Fair Attractions Include New Mercantile, Hay Show, Farmers Market
Governor Matt Mead anticipated at ribbon cutting for new Wyoming products Mercantile CASPER, Wyo. – The Wyoming Business Council Agribusiness Division is hosting three opportunities for Wyoming producers and vendors to sell or show off their goods during the Wyoming State Fair in Douglas, Aug. 1320. In addition, Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead is anticipated to do the honors of cutting the ribbon on the new Wyoming Mercantile on the Midway of the Wyoming State Fairgrounds. The public is invited to join Gov. Mead for the ribbon cutting ceremony on Saturday, Aug. 20 at about 1:30 p.m. For over 12 years, Wyomingmade products have been sold at the State Fair. This year, 58 Wyoming companies will show-
case their products in the new Mercantile which is located on the midway. "The new building and new location are geared toward attracting more visitors to our store, and in turn will put more great Wyoming-made products in front of consumers," said Cindy Garretson-Weibel, Business Council Agribusiness Division director." The Mercantile will be open Monday through Friday of the fair from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Saturday 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. For more information about the new Wyoming Mercantile, contact Terri Barr at 307.777.2807 or terri.barr@wyo.gov.
The Agribusiness Division will host a hay show at the State Fairgrounds’ Ag and Natural Resource Pavilion on Aug. 15-20, with the judging taking place on Aug. 16. Producers who have already received their forage analysis from the lab must deliver their samples, along with their Wyoming State Fair entry form and $2 per sample, to the Pavilion by 12 p.m. on Aug. 15. Winning producers with the top five Relative Feed Values (RFV) will automatically be entered in the World Dairy Expo Forage Super Bowl Challenge held in Madison, Wis., Oct. 4-8. According to Business Council Crop and Forage Program Manager, Donn Randall, the Business Council will also send the top five grass hay samples to the Super Bowl
to enter in the newly added Grass Hay category. Other Wyoming forage producers may also submit a hay sample and business card to Randall for display in the Wyoming Premium Hay booth at the World Dairy Expo. For more information, contact Randall at 307.777.6578 or donn. randall@wyo.gov.

Plans Made For Wyoming Control of Gray-Wolf Population by Bill McCarthy
CHEYENNE – Wyoming and federal wildlife managers have agreed to a plan allowing the state to control its gray-wolf population. The governor and U.S. Department of Interior officials announced today that they have agreed on the final elements of a proposed plan. “Wolves are recovered in Wyoming; let’s get them off the Endangered Species List,” Mead said in a statement. The plan will “ensure a stable and sustainable population of wolves in Wyoming.” “The recovery of the gray wolf serves as a great example of how the Endangered Species Act can work to keep imperiled animals from sliding into extinction,” said Interior Secretary Ken Salazar. “I slook forward to working with gWyoming to implement this -responsible management apsproach guided by science.” eThere is still a long way to go hin the process before the state rcan take control of the recov-ered species, however. Gray .wolves will have the protections of the Endangered Species Act for many months to tcome. eThe plan will be on a lengthy tfederal rulemaking path to2ward becoming a U.S. Fish nand Wildlife regulation. /A proposed rule to take wolves y 9
off of the Endangered Species List will be subject to public and peer review as part of the formal rulemaking process. The governor is also hoping to prevent conservationist and environmental groups from taking the plan to court. Mead wants the U.S. Congress to eliminate judicial review of the plan. Rep. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo., has inserted a rider in the pending Interior Department appropriations bill that would do that. A similar rider was passed by Congress for the plans put forth by Montana and Idaho. “For too long wolf management has been run by the courts,” Mead said. “We need Wyoming people to have a say in what happens in our state and a congressionally approved plan is the best way to ensure that we advance this effort.” The Wyoming Legislature must also create a wolf-management plan that conforms with the plan before wolves can be removed from the endangered list. Wyoming has tussled with federal officials and conservationists for many years over its plan to treat wolves as trophy game animals in the area of Yellowstone National Park but as predators elsewhere in the state. Predators can be killed on sight. Trophy game are killed only through state regu-
lated hunting. “For years ranchers and sheep producers have been asked to sacrifice and they have. We have lost significant numbers of elk and moose, and we have not had a say in the management of an animal inside Wyoming,” Mead said. Under the proposal, Wyoming will maintain at least 100 wolves and 10 breeding pairs outside of Yellowstone National Park. Estimates are that there are about 340 wolves outside of Yellowstone now. The plan calls for an area in Western Wyoming where wolves would be considered protected trophy game during key migration periods and treated as a predator at other times of the year. The flexible trophy-game management area would include an area near the Wyoming-Idaho border south of Jackson and north of Afton. The area would be managed as a trophy game management area from Oct. 15 to the end of February. In all other months wolves would be managed as predators. That is to allow migration of wolves for healthy breeding. See more info and map on page 4
Pyatt’s Pieces soldiers as well as foster and encourage every species of military merit, directs that whenever any singularly meritorious Action in performed, the author of it shall be permitted to wear on his facings, over his left breast, the figure of a heart in purple cloth or silk edged with narrow lace or binding.

by Mike Pyatt
“Why Purple?” No one knows for sure why he used purple as a background for the badge, but for ages purple had been the color of royalty, and in the General’s view, the common soldier who sacrificed for his country deserved the same respect as a king. That badge permitted the wearer to pass sentinels unchallenged and to have his name inscribed in the Book of Merit. At that time, only 3 soldiers are known to have received the award-during the Revolutionary War-that is. It was at his headquarters in Newburgh, NY, that General George Washington created what we know today as the Purple Heart, on this date, in 1782. After the Revolution the badge fell into disuse until 1932. His order, on that day, read in part: The General ever desirous to cherish virtuous ambition in his
In 1931General Douglas MacArthur confidentially reopened the work on a new design of Washington’s original, after a draft bill in 1927 to revive the Badge of Military Merit was withdrawn for unknown reasons in 1928. In 1931 Ms. Elizabeth Will was named to redesign the newly revived medal to be issued on the bicentennial of George Washington’s birth. The order of the Purple Heart is now awarded to members of the armed services who have been wounded or killed in action. The medal has a bronze heart bearing Washington’s silhouette in its purple center with the Washington coat-of-arms at the top. In his inimitable manner of speech, the General penned in his order creating the medal, “The road to glory in a patriot army and a free country is thus open to all.” In the author’s humble opinion, it is one of the most striking and intricate medals to be worn. My father earned his in the Battle of the Bulge. No doubt
many of my readers have earned this distinguished medal or know someone who has one. Perhaps it was a father, grandfather, uncle, brother or sister, husband, wife or friend. The Purple Heart has undergone many changes regarding the criteria for being awarded. In 1942, for example, President Franklin Roosevelt made it available to be awarded posthumously to any member of the military killed on or after December 6, 1941. How many Purple Hearts have been awarded? Due to inconsistent record keeping since 1932, an accurate number is unknown, however, it is estimated that about 1.7 million have been awarded to date. As long as there are wars, declared or otherwise, the award will continue. And, hat’s off to all who proudly wear or display this “Badge of Honor”. The company that assembles the Purple Heart today said it involves about 100 separate steps. “You can’t manufacture the Purple Heart,” says Tom Tucker, West Point graduate, retired military, and owner of Graco Awards. The hearts are forged from 24 carat gold plated brass. That seems appropriate to me. What do you think?

Conservation Corner
DOUGLAS – A public-private partnership between public conservation agencies and the state’s energy industry is helping to develop a "Pathway to Water Quality" at the Wyoming State Fairgrounds.
When complete, the project will promote cost effective and proactive water quality management practices that will assist producers in using market-based approaches to conservation and innovative technologies that can put conservation on the land. The project was developed by the Southeast Wyoming Resource Conservation and Development Council and the Wyoming Association of Conservation Districts, with funding support from the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, Encana Oil and Gas (USA) Inc., and Cameco Resources.
Public, Private Partnership Supports “Pathway to Water Quality” at State Fairgrounds
"Our mining operations are just a few miles from Douglas and our headquarters is in Cheyenne, so supporting the Pathway to Water Quality on the fairgrounds is a logical extension of our focus on protecting the state's water resources that are vital to us and to everyone in Wyoming," said Cameco Resources President Paul Goranson. The nearly $100,000 project will be centralized around a pathway to guide fairgoers and others to a myriad of water quality exhibits and demonstration sites. Each exhibit will be complete with interpretive signage to provide educational information about how each innovative specific management practice will provide water quality benefits. “This project will essentially provide a living, outdoor classroom and educational tool for more
than 50,000 people per year to learn about innovative and effective management practices that maintain or improve water quality,” said Randy Teeuwen, Encana community relations advisor. “The people of Encana live and work in Wyoming and care deeply about water quality and conservation. We are proud to be a partner in this important project.” The Wyoming State Fair is a large stage to showcase Pathways to Water. “More than 50,000 people visit the state fair every year, which provides a unique opportunity to showcase a variety of innovative conservation approaches and technologies,” said Wyoming Association Conservation Districts Executive Director Bobbie Frank.
Missouri To Get 91 Million Tons Of Wyoming Coal
by Bill McCarthy
CHEYENNE – Peabody Energy said today that it has a six-year contract to deliver Wyoming Powder River Basin coal to Missouri for electricity generation. Peabody Energy and Ameren Corporation have entered into an agreement to provide 91 million tons of low-sulfur coal to serve multiple electricity generating plants in Missouri through 2017. “The contract represents a major commitment between the largest Powder River Basin producer and the largest Powder River Basin customer,” said Gregory H. Boyce, Peabody chairman and chief executive. Ameren Missouri serves 1.2
Governor Mead And Us Fish And Wildlife Finalize A Wolf Management Proposal
CHEYENNE, Wyo. – Governor Matt Mead and representatives from the US Fish and Wildlife Service have finalized the elements of a proposed plan that will ensure a stable and sustainable population of wolves in Wyoming. This plan is the culmination of many years of work between Wyoming stakeholders and federal officials. “This is far from the end of this process, but I think we have come up with something that fits with Wyoming’s values and economy,” Governor Mead said. “For years ranchers and sheep producers have been asked to sacrifice and they have. We have lost significant numbers of elk and moose, and we have not had a say in the management of an animal inside Wyoming. It is time for that to change and I appreciate Secretary Salazar and the US Fish and Wildlife Service working with us. Wolves are recovered in Wyoming; let’s get them off the Endangered Species List.” Under the proposed plan Wyoming will maintain at least 100 wolves and 10 breeding pairs outside of Yellowstone Na-
tional Park. The Trophy Game Management Area would extend about 50 miles to the south from its current location near the Wyoming/Idaho border. The expansion area would be managed as a Trophy Game Management Area from October 15th to the end of February. For all other months wolves would be managed as predators in the extension area.

Here’s Gov. Matt Mead’s press release in its entirety:
GE Energy and the University of Wyoming have announced that the joint work on the High Plains Gasification-Advanced Technology Center has been delayed. The original project investment plan anticipated more progress toward certainty in the future of federal energy policy. Future investments will be paced by the development of clear federal energy policy. Governor Mead is disappointed about GE Energy’s decision to pause development of the High Plains Gasification-Advanced Technology Center project un-
til uncertainty around coal utilization is reduced. However, Governor Mead feels this decision and possibly other energy sector decisions to delay projects are not unexpected given the lack of a federal energy policy.
“Capital from the private sector only flows to large and ambitious projects when there is reasonable regulatory, legal and financial certainty,” Governor Mead said. “This is a real world example of the local impact of the federal government’s failure to provide a policy path forward for energy use in America. An energy policy must include the responsible use of our coal resources. Without a clear policy, investors and developers do not have certainty and cannot plan for risk, which is critical in making decisions to build modern, efficient plants.”
“GE technology is ready to provide a cleaner coal solution for America and for the world. When government policy and economic realities are aligned in the U.S., we plan to be a leader in cleaner coal technologies,” said Keith White, General Manager of GE Energy’s gasification business. “We value our partnership with the University of Wyoming and we will reassess the environment in 18 to 24 months.”
UW President Tom Buchanan said, “The University of Wyoming (UW) stands ready to proceed with continued work to advance the HPG-ATC. In any business relationship, we acknowledge the need for all parties to be comfortable prior to moving forward. The agreement between the State of Wyoming, GE Energy and UW contemplates significant milestones in the project development.”
The High Plains GasificationAdvanced Technology Center is a research and technology center focused on looking at coal gasification solutions for coal from the Powder River Basin and other parts of Wyoming. Wyoming produces 40% of the nation’s coal and the state provides about 10% of the nation’s energy.
“America and Wyoming have the leadership capacity, the technology prowess and the private capital availability to wisely put our energy resources to productive use but we are strangled by uncertainty created by the energy policy vacuum in Washington DC,” Governor Mead said.

NEWS FROM THE NEST Would You Like Fracked? Or Non-Fracked? is now paying more than three times the selling price in the United States.
by Dustin Bleizeffer
-This week El Paso Corp. will ,begin shipping Wyoming and -Colorado natural gas in the new y42-inch diameter Ruby Pipeline -connecting Rockies gas pronducers to customers along the yOregon and northern California coasts.
-Cutting across 680 miles from dOpal, Wyo., to Malin, Ore., espawned a lot of controversy labout potential damage to wild-life and the environment. Now athat construction is over, howev-er, concern has shifted to include -what’s in the pipeline: “The Bay aArea Gets Fracked.” y Hydraulic fracturing, or “fracky ing,” involves pumping millions -of gallons of water — and small.er volumes of multiple chemicals -— into deep gas- and oil-bearing eformations under high pressure rto bust open pathways for the pegtroleum to flow. The concern is -for the potential to contaminate drinking water which resides in shallow aquifers perforated by osealed oil and gas wells. n .Wyoming oil and gas leaders d— and some state lawmakers d— worry that opposition to hyadraulic fracturing has become -so entrenched that some areas -of the country may someday sdemand “non-fracked” natural egas and oil. If there were such a emarket, less than 10 percent of dWyoming’s natural gas production would qualify. -
Rather than dismiss this type nof fuel grading, some in the -industry say they would gladly oserve a boutique natural gas kmarket — if the customer is .willing to pay a premium. Wy,oming’s coal-bed methane gas, rfor example, does not require efracking in the sense that much eof America understands the etechnology.
d t“Everybody laughs when they -hear about it because it’s an absurd notion,” Casper oil and gas geologist Gene George, of -Gene George & Associates, rtold WyoFile. “But I’m sure ythere are people out there who tare serious about it. And when rsomebody is willing to pay rmore for your product, then you’re going to figure out a % way to do it.” e e George said Wyoming gas producers — if they could eship gas across the Pacific — ewould love to sell their product eto customers in Japan, which y t y y ”
The vast majority of natural gas produced in the Rockies relies on fracking technology. Fracking is credited for boosting the nation’s recoverable oil and gas reserves, launching drilling booms in North Dakota (shale oil), Pennsylvania (shale gas), New York (shale gas), Louisiana (shale gas) and Texas (shale gas and shale oil). This new drilling boom, along with fracking, was the subject of the highly popular film documentary “Gasland,” which is credited by many for bringing fracking to the forefront of the national energy debate. During the past year the battle between industry and some environmental groups over fracking has made it to primetime, most recentlylampooned by Comedy Central’s Stephen Colbert. Rob Hurless advised former Wyoming Gov. Dave Freudenthal on energy policy, and is now advising Gov. Matt Mead. He said that while a new “nonfracked” natural gas market is unlikely, the national debate over fracking has at least got more Americans thinking and talking about the energy supply chain. “There’s going to be some froth in it. But on balance, it’s probably not a bad thing to think about energy supply,” Hurless told WyoFile. “Hopefully, the net impact over time will be positive.” Wyoming sportsmen and conservationists grumble when California utilities brag about their clean-burning natural gas without acknowledging the impacts of extracting that gas in the Rockies. Natural gas extraction has had measurable impacts on big game and air quality in the Cowboy State. But customers on the West Coast, in the Midwest and on the East Coast are becoming more aware of where natural gas comes from and the potential impacts of the industry. Simply put, more people are engaged in discussions about domestic energy, and that could eventually drive the United States toward a different portfolio of fuels. “We’re working to ban fracking from shale gas,” said Emily Wurth, water program director for Food & Water Watch in Washington D.C. “I don’t see a problem with informed consumers requesting their energy coming from a certain place.” Wurth said she is not aware of
any movement to demand that utilities account for how much of their electricity and heating gas comes from fracked and non-fracked gas. However, she said customers can and should determine which products they want to use. “We think our drinking water is a critical resource. It’s very reasonable for consumers to re-evaluate what fuels they want to use,” said Wurth. Touting the greenness or frackiness of fuels to serve a finicky American consumer could get very messy, however. How could a company demand a premium for non-fracked coal-bed methane gas, for example, without offering a discount for the large volume of drinking water the industry has wasted in the Powder River Basin? Will wind energy companies be forced to count and advertise the number of birds that meet their demise against their blades? Powder River Basin coal companies do not topple mountains into river valleys to produce coal. But are they really going to market their product as “non-mountaintop removal” coal? There’s a danger that too much emphasis in the fracking debate will be placed on the technology itself, drowning out the more arcane discussion about effective industry practices and regulatory oversight. Baseline water quality sampling, for example, should be standard practice prior to fracking, according to Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission supervisor Tom Doll. Yet his agency has not insisted that it be made mandatory in Wyoming. To take fracking away from the oil and gas industry would be like taking shovels away from coal miners. It doesn’t make practical sense. Fighting to protect our health and our air, soil, land and wildlife shouldn’t stifle the technology that provides us not only electricity and transportation fuels, but also the building blocks of laptops, iPhones and 7-ply tires. In fact, it’s the oil and gas industry’s rapidly advancing technology that will make possible large-scale carbon sequestration.
Enzi: New Health Care Law is Already Driving Up Insurance Premiums Washington, D.C. – During a hearing yesterday on health insurance premiums, U.S. Senator Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., Ranking Member on the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee, said that the new health care law passed last year is already driving up insurance premiums. He said that Congress should work on lowering health care costs for individuals and small businesses. “As predicted, the new health law is already driving up health insurance premiums,” said Senator Enzi. “The authors of the new health care law do not want to acknowledge that the reason premiums are going up is because the law they enacted is driving health care costs up. This result should come as no surprise to anyone. More than two years
ago, the Congressional Budget Office told us that the new health care law was going to increase premiums for individuals and families by 10 to 13 percent. This equals a $2100 increase for families.”

Senator Enzi noted that the Administration’s Chief Actuary at the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services released a report last week that said that insurance premiums are estimated to increase by 9.4 percent in 2014. According to the actuary, this increase was 4.4 percent higher than it would have otherwise been, as a result of the new health care law. Enzi said that giving states or the federal government the authority to deny premium increases will do nothing to address the expensive new benefit mandates, billions
“We must examine how the specific provisions in the new law are increasing premiums and determine how to replace those provisions with measures that could actually lower costs for individuals and small businesses,” Senator Enzi said. “We also need to enact provisions that will actually lower health care costs, help employers and allow Americans to keep the plans they want, rather than being forced to buy the plan that a government bureaucrat thinks best meets their needs.”
Enzi Encouraged By Wolf Management Agreement Washington, D.C. – Wyoming Governor Matt Mead and representatives from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced today a proposed agreement that allows Wyoming greater control in managing local wolf populations. U.S. Senator Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., released the following statement: “I appreciate Governor Mead’s hard work to come up with a solution that works for both Wyoming and for the Department of Interior,” Enzi said. “Wolf
populations have exceeded all recovery goals. Their population growth is endangering our state’s wildlife and livestock industry. We cannot allow that to continue, and it is time to remove Endangered Species Act protection from these predators in Wyoming in the same way that protection was removed for wolves in Idaho and Montana. Removing wolves from the Endangered Species List has been a priority of mine since I came to the Senate. Although the deal must be approved by the Wyoming State Legislature, I am grateful to
see movement on an issue that has limited the state’s ability to address a local problem for so many years.
“Rep. Lummis and Senator Barrasso also deserve credit for their work on this issue. Rep. Lummis was able to use her seat on the House Appropriations Committee to get the wolf language included in the Interior Appropriations bill. Senator Barrasso has been using his committee assignments to push this cause as well.”

I’ll Ride I’ll ride across the prairies; I’ll ride where no man goes. I’ll ride to destinations; thru rain and sun and snow. I’ll ride atop the mountains; to the valley far below. I’ll ride across the nation; Wyoming’s where I’ll go. I’ll ride my faithful pony across the great divide. I’ll ride the lonesome trail; on down the other side. I’ll ride until I’m feeble and the last coyote’s cried; then when I’m called up yonder, you can bet your boots I’ll ride.
I’ll ride to gather cattle across this western land. I’ll ride south from the Yellowstone; to the flowin’ Rio Grande. I’ll ride across the desert amidst the dunes of sand. I’ll ride to destinations; where a cowboy makes a stand. I’ll ride through grassy meadows; where the wild flowers bloom. I’ll ride the western prairies; where a man has lots of room. I’ll ride my faithful pony where I hear the thunder boom. I’ll ride across this nation; where the highest mountains loom.

Iím Just Sayin... It Will Take Balls We Haven’t Got
A “Pinch” of Open Range Magazine’s Bunkhouse Recipes Ranch Pickles
Someone sent me an e-mail the other day asking what I would do to change the national debt crisis. As complicated as it is our debt comes down to some basic premises. When you’re having a cash flow problem you don’t continue to spend irresponsibly. It’s here that we get into a sticky wicket because one person’s responsible spending is another’s frivolous pursuit.
After the pickles were gone, the cook would sometimes add some hard boiled eggs to the pickle juice and let it set for a week or so, and offer the cowboys another treat.
Second we make a policy that for every illegal alien that we find in this country his or her country of origin gets no aid from the US. See how fast the offending countries fix the problem without us having to spend money to build walls and post our military on the borders.
So I quickly began to pound the keyboard with my answer.
Fill a large jar (about one gallon) with small to medium cucumbers. Add two tablespoons of salt, and a large bunch of dill. Fill the jar with boiling water, put the lid on, and set in the sun for about two weeks.
-Legends of America
The Dog (or rather “Horse”) Days of Summer
First we quit giving money to countries going bankrupt and who hate the United States and everything we stand for.
Third, if our national debt ever exceeds 2 percent of our gross national product every elected official loses their job. See how fast they fix it.
All government officials are required to have the same health care as the general populace- bet that problem would be solved in a week. No career politicians. Ever. End of story. No lobbying our government officials by big business.
Flat tax paid by all. Those who spend more pay more. Those who don’t have much to spend pay less. No IRS, no income tax returns. That branch of government alone would lessen big government by at least half. But it would take some elected officials with the balls to do it, and right now I don’t see it happening unless the populace revolts. I’m just sayin…..

Wyoming Post Offices Studied For Potential Closure by Ruffin Prevost
Like so many things in Wyoming, delivering the mail tends to require more time, covering more miles, enduring more isolation and spending more money than almost any other state. So it’s no surprise that Wyoming has quite a few post offices on a list released today by the U.S. Postal Service detailing outposts that are being studied for potential closure. Many of these post offices serve only a few people and are located far from anything else. But then again, isn’t that true for so much of our state? Advocates of closures could certainly make a compelling case about the skewed costbenefit ratio of keeping these post offices open. But for those living in one of these communities, a post office is often the hub of civic affairs — a place to run into a neighbor you might only see once every couple of months, and only then when you’re both checking the mail.

There’s certainly something wonderful about being able to mail a letter from Van Tassell, Wyo. (pop. 3) to Key West, Fla. and paying the same postage as a letter from Manhattan to Brooklyn. But that one-sizefits-all approach which has made our postal system such a unifying part of American culture is also part of why it struggles to cover costs.

BIRD ODDS and ENDS STRAIGHT TALK With “Sassy”
mn! to lk” Colu New “Ta our questions y Submit eglenrockbird.com Sassy@th
Hi, my name is “Sassy” and I’m the new straight talk columnist for The Glenrock Bird. I hail from the great state of Oregon and LOVE to give good advice, shot right from the hip. So submit your questions, whatever they may be, and I’ll answer them. But be forewarned! When I say I shoot from the hip, I mean I shoot from the hip. So be ready for a good case of reality! I’ll look forward to receiving and answering your questions. You can email me: Sassy@ theglenrockbird.com. Question submitted from a young Glenrockian gal who wishes to remain anonymous (but said we could say where she’s from!) Q: Ok so I know my boyfriend has been checking out another chick but I really love this guy and I dont know if I shoukd ig-
nore it and let him do his thing or bring it up to him. I just dont want to jeaopardize my relationship with him
Sassy for advice tells me you are smart enough to know it’s BS! As far as you worrying about jeopardizing your relationship, he is doing a fine job of that for the both of you. So next time you find him checking this “chick” out, your words to him need to be “Look at her again and you’ll be going home with her.”
And dearheart... if he wants so badly to be with this other chick... why the heck are you still with him? You can’t make someone love you, sister! Remember, we teach people how to treat us, so be a good teacher! Good luck andb keep me posted! -SASSY
S: Ok first of all I will tell you I’m going to give you the PG version because this topic strikes a nerve with me. At what point in your relationship did you decide that being disrespected by someone you love and supposedly loves you is less important than “him doing his thing?” Rule of thumb, always call him on it. It doesn’t have to be a confrontation, but something as simple as “Wow, she’s cute. I see you think so too.” is all that is needed. However! The mere fact that it bothers you enough to write
The Bird Book Review
Bottom of the Hill Publishing, Memphis, Tennessee, is proud to announce the publication of the third book in a trilogy by Dave P. Fisher entitled The Poudre Canyon Saga. Book number three of the trilogy, The Men of Poudre Canyon continues the exciting adventures of the Pelletier family. Reader response to Books 1 and 2 has been enthusiastic with high praise for the story quality of the novels. Now, The Men of Poudre Canyon has been released with readers quickly taking the novel to #1 in Kindle Westerns. Anyone who enjoys the excitement of the wild mountain country, the frontier, and the Old West will be thrilled by The Poudre Canyon Saga. The stories are centered in the Wyoming and Northern Colorado area. Back Cover to The Men From Poudre Canyon: Atlanta carpetbagger Justin Hornsworth finds himself in Fort Collins and eyeing Jean Pelletier’s home. Having successfully murdered and swindled his way to wealth in
the war weary south he sees no reason why a backwoodsman like Pelletier would offer any resistance to his plan to take the ranch. He didn’t know Jean Pelletier. When Jean and his sons put an end to Hornsworth’s plan the carpetbagger takes a more vicious trail bent on destroying
the man he has come to hate. In a vengeance ridden move his gang kidnaps four of the Pelletier women from Jean and Andre’s families with the intention of selling them to a white slaver in New Orleans. Believing he has dealt a killing blow to Jean
Pelletier he revels in his victory not realizing that when you take on one Pelletier you take them all on. Hornsworth’s grave just needed to be filled in the day the men from Poudre Canyon took to his trail.
Book number one, entitled Where Free Men Gather features cover art by acclaimed Cheyenne pastel artist Mike Beeman. The story details the adventures of the Pelletier brothers, free French trappers, who flee Canada after the death of Claude LeSueur, the son of a wealthy fur merchant. The two make their way into the American West where free trappers gather and beaver shine. The brothers fit easily into the world of the Indian and the mountain men, until their past threatens the new life they have so carefully built. Book number two, entitled White Grizzly begins thirty years after the conclusion of book one, and follows the activities of Andre Pelletier, who has become White Grizzly, a Crow War Chief. The world of the mountain man and the Indian is rapidly changing
and Andre finds himself leading a war band in the Powder River country, fighting a war he’s not sure he can win. Dave P. Fisher, who now resides in Washington state, is descended from mountain men, Voyageurs, pioneers and explorers. Dave is originally from Oregon, and has worked cattle and ridden saddle broncs in rodeos. His real life adventures have taken him across the wilds of Alaska and the Rocky mountains of Montana, Wyoming and Colorado as a hunting guide and horsepacker. Dave’s novels, short stories, nonfiction articles and cowboy poetry have been internationally published. He was awarded the Will Rogers medallion Award for outstanding western fiction, and his short stories have won numerous Readers Choice Awards. Fisher’s books on the Bottom of the Hill Publishing imprint can be ordered from any retailer of books as well as Amazon and Kindle and Nook ebooks. More can be learned about Fisher at his website: www.davepfisher.com

Compact fluorescents draw about one-quarter of the energy of a regular incandescent bulb. They also last seven to 10-times longer. You can save $30 or more in electricity costs over each bulb’s lifetime, so they more than pay for themselves. Plus, you’ll be doing something to reduce your carbon footprint.
