Did you know…

with Dr. Amber Ide

Did you know that March is national nutrition awareness month? Having good nutrition not only protects your body, it also plays a key role in keeping a healthy mouth. There are many snacks we may eat that seem healthy, such as granola bars and fruit snacks; however, these snacks many times are full of sugar and can stick to our teeth for long periods of time, which can eventually lead to cavities. Below is a list of some body and smile friendly snacks that not only will help to improve our overall nutrition, but also keep our teeth cavity free. • Almonds • Bananas • Green Peppers • Cherries • Carrots • Peanuts • Cashews • Apples Additionally, you can log into deltadental.com and click on the Oral Health tab for more information on healthy snacks and tips to a better you.

Born and raised in Gillette, Chris knew that after so many years away from home Gillette was where he needed to be. His mom, who’s worked as a teacher in Wyoming for almost 40 years, lived in Gillette, as did his sister who’s also a teacher at the Child Development Center. Moving back home he applied for several jobs at mines, worked as a substitute teacher, and eventually fell into a job at allDimensions Fitness teaching CrossFit. CrossFit had steadily grown in popularity over the last decade, and Chris had been trained and certified in CrossFit while serving in Hawaii and had integrated it into his Soldiers’ Physical Readiness program. It wasn’t until he began teaching at allDimensions that he found his passion and knew what he needed to do in this new civilian life.

That’s

The Arts Portraits of Pastoralism Cat Urbigkit March 2014 Campbell County Rockpile Museum

Portraits of Pastoralism is a 20-image traveling public art exhibit of Cat Urbigkit’s black-and-white photographs of pastoralists around the globe, illuminating the challenges faced by people whose cultures involve the seasonal movement with livestock herds (transhumance). This educational art exhibit allows the public to see the faces of the pastoralists and their animals, from cattle and sheep producers on the public rangelands in the American West, to goat herders in Spain, and women milking their yaks in Mongolia. It will help the public to understand that a cowboy on horseback in Wyoming is conducting the same activity as the Lesotho cattle boy, and the same holds true for various people and cultures throughout the globe. The exhibit will help the American public understand the vital importance of these seasonal movements of people and livestock, and the threats to continuing this practice. Urbigkit’s goal is to promote public support for maintaining this sustainable use of natural resources, while recognizing and treasuring the human value of a close association with the land. Global transhumance is a constant thread of Urbigkit’s non-fiction nature book, Shepherds of Coyote Rocks: Public Lands, Private Herds and the Natural World, released in October 2012 by The Countryman Press, a division of W.W. Norton, and this exhibit provides a visual affirmation of the book’s theme. The exhibit features photos from four continents, and is set to include images of pastoralists from the American West, Africa, Nepal, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Spain, Bulgaria, and Turkey. The exhibit is a celebration of humanity, with diversity from around the globe.

Friday, April 4 7:00pm - 9:00pm Cam-Plex Heritage Center The Spencers are the only artists in history to be named Performing Arts Entertainers of the Year for a record-breaking six consecutive years and have twice been named America’s Best Entertainers. Since 1984, Kevin and Cindy Spencer have been spreading the word about using magic tricks as a healing tool for the physically challenged through a special program called “Healing of Magic.” The Spencers don’t claim to have originated the idea to use magic as a tool in rehabilitation medicine, but they have greatly expanded upon the concept. And through their efforts, new treatment modalities are being explored and used to effectively improve the everyday skills of people who have experienced strokes, accidents, spinal cord or head injuries, learning or developmental disabilities, visual deficits, psycho-social disorders, those who have problems with alcohol or other drug abuse, and many other diagnoses. The Spencers continue to redefine “magic” for a new generation of spectators, delivering a larger-than-life sense of wonder to their audience! For more information, visit www.spencersmagic.com. Tickets are available at the Ticket Office, 307-682-8802.

e on Writ

http://www.alpinhong.com It’s a classical music versus rock-n-roll showdown. Classical pianist, Alpin Hong, plays technical sonatas like 300 year old rock and roll hits. He grabs a single note and thrusts it into hyper-drive. He is fluid. Impassioned. Tender. Electric. Poetic. Formally trained as a Master at the Julliard School of Music, Hong flaunts technical prowess on even the most strenuous pieces. Watch Alpin battle note for note with Crushed Out, an explosive hit of surf-garage momentum and rock and roll form Brooklyn, New York, consisting of Frank Hoier on guitar and vocals and Moselle Spiller on drums. Formally known as Boom Chick and local favorites at Donkey Creek Festival, Crushed Out is pure guitar-drum adrenalin rush- plenty of fuzz, tremolo, riffs, slide and Black Sabbath power chords.
