We were extremely excited to find out that Carmen L.

Did you know…

with Dr. Amber Ide

…according to the American Dental Association over 100 million individuals fail to make it to their dental check-ups each year? Many people believe if nothing is hurting them or they have never had dental problems in the past, the cost and time of a dental appointment isn’t necessary. Unfortunately, even in the healthiest of mouths, underlying diseases can be present, not only in teeth but in the surrounding bones and soft tissues, and your dentist is responsible for finding and diagnosing these occurrences at your dental check-ups. Additionally, dentists can detect developmental abnormalities in children which can help better prepare a parent for possible interceptive treatments before it becomes worse. With summer approaching, or at least we hope, there is no better time to schedule yourself and your family to be sure to stay ahead of any essential dental conditions that may be occurring.

Polo begins the first week of June and we play though Labor Day weekend at the Equestrian Center, located on Bird Farm Road in Big Horn. The Big Horn Polo Club practices Wednesdays and Fridays, and the Flying H practices Tuesdays and Thursdays. Tournament games for the Flying H are played on Saturdays and the Big Horn Polo Club plays on Sundays. Admission is free and tailgating is encouraged. After the game, you can venture to the clubhouse and meet the players. Several charity games are scheduled including one for CHAPS, and for the Second Chance Cat Rescue. For a full schedule of games and practices and for more information about our club, check out: www.thebighornpoloclub.com.

Polo Photo submitted by Pert Connell

The Big Horn Polo Club is unique because it is the green horse center of the United States. A green polo pony is a young horse who is learning the game of polo. The Big Horn Polo Club offers games designed for “green” polo ponies as well as games for “made” (trained) polo ponies. They conduct a polo school for riders who want to learn to play the game. There is a broad spectrum of polo events throughout the week. You can watch the kids’ practice games, the green horse practice games or enjoy the fast paced action of high goal polo, played by some of the most talented professional players in the world...right here in Big Horn, Wyoming!

In Loving Memory... Marshall “Shane” Winkler, 44, of Sheridan, passed away on December 24, 2013 at his residence. Marshall “Shane” Winkler beloved son, brother and friend, was born in Lubbock, TX on November 26, 1969. His career as a Ferrier eventually led him into the world of polo, where he became a well-known and respected polo club manager, running and helping to run clubs in Palm Beach, Santa Barbara, Houston, Midland, TX and managing the Big Horn Polo Club for ten years. His knowledge of the game combined with a smooth easy style made him one of the best loved polo announcers in the world. Shane brought the Big Horn Polo Club into the 21st century. By bringing some of the world’s top polo players into Big Horn, he helped improve the quality of polo here. Working as Manager of Agrarian Operations at the Jan Pamela Polo Ranch, he still took the time to serve as a Director on the WYO Rodeo board. Shane was Director in charge of the Indian Relay Races. A member of the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, his brothers and sisters of Lodge 520, and his countless friends around the world will forever miss this popular, funny, gentle man. Oh, he liked Bud Light “in a can”. Sponsored by:

Alonzo Rosalez, 59, of Sheridan, passed away on February 18, 2014 at St. Vincents Hospital in Billings. Alonzo was born on September 27, 1954 in Corpus Christi, TX. He worked construction and enjoyed fishing, mountains, woodworking and visiting with people. “Love you long time!”

I met with Ralph recently at the Mufa Café. This is where I discovered his awe-inspiring pictures. My husband and I stopped in one day to have lunch at the Café. We had heard the food was healthy and homemade so we wanted to try it. As we waited for the food (which was as good as we had been told it was), I was looking around and there were these amazing photos framed

He told me that his wife, Melanie, would take the projects to the fes-

Ralph uses a Nikon D7100 with a tripod and different lenses. The lens is very important, equal to the camera itself. A good lens means everything in getting the right shot. It’s not just the amount of zoom you have or how wide it can get, but the quality of the glass, the maximum size of the aperture, and other characteristics. Every camera lens has two main attributes: focal length and f-stop. He showed me a picture that he took with a fisheye lens, an ultra-wide angle lens that produces strong

“sepia tone” refers to a photograph printed in brown scale, rather than grayscale. The resulting image is considered a monotone in shades of brown. They use this effect to age a photograph or make it look like it was shot long ago. Ralph said he can sit for hours going

Ralph specializes in landscape and loves to photograph waterfalls of all sorts, but he also is willing to do senior pictures, animals and possibly a wedding if you plead long enough. One of Ralph’s favorite places to photograph is Colorado in the fall. He loves the changing of the seasons. I asked if he has a favorite photo that he has taken. He told me he could tell me what has sold well or some of the ones other people like but

There is no charge to watch the performances and walk through their trade show.

For example the county is proposing a 94,000 square feet and once completed it will house ninth and tenth grade students.
