We are honored to present the story on pages 24 and 25 about the American Cancer Society. Cancer is a subject that has affected almost every family in our country and we need to keep it in the fore fronts of our minds, every day, until there is a cure found for every type of cancer. I hope you read and educate yourself on

He says photographs bring out the emotional side of him. He is a self-taught photographer, graphic designer, and IT specialist with a moto to accept nothing less than 100% customer satisfaction.

Jeff is originally from Alliance Nebraska his family moved to Gillette in June of 1989. He graduated from Campbell County High in 1993 then on to college where he studied Police ScienceCriminology in Sheridan, Wyoming. Jeff’s father Gary was an officer with the L.A.P.D. and he thought perhaps that would be his path, after a time he took a step back to realize that would not be the path he would take. He worked different

I met Jeff on Linkedin.com. If you are not familiar with Linkedin.com, it’s a business oriented social networking service. It’s an opportunity to get to know other business professionals, for education, advertising and support. We starting talking on LinkedIn, and I started researching his work. I was very impressed by the versatility of his photographs. The cool thing about Jeff is that he is versed in different types of photography. His work speaks for itself; he snaps night shots, action shots, portraits, landscapes, and special events. His talent is limitless. Jeff shared with me that his favorite work is of special events, weddings, engagements and the special moments in people’s lives.

Artistically Speaking

Jeff has been working professionally as a photographer since right out of highs school. He has never had any formal training, and he says he is a student of experience. Jeff says that he is a picture watcher and he learns from it. His only formal classes were in high school and he spoke very fondly of Paul Waldum, a fine arts teacher still teaching at Campbell County High School, and Christopher Amend, a visual artist and a former teacher. He would say these men and fellow artists are his mentors and have had a huge influence on him. Just recently Jeff was blessed to go to Canada to observe and learn from Shelley Vandervelde, the owner and operator of SVP Photography located in Calgary, Alberta. Her portraits have consistently received awards of Merit and Excellence, both Provincially, Nationally and Internationally. Jeff shared his excitement and enthusiasm with me about his experiences while there. Jeff shoots with a Nikon D3S full frame digital twelve megapixel camera and various lenses. His goal is to have multiple cameras to capture that right shot. He says it’s easier to grab another camera ready to shoot instead of having to change a lens. I have learned from my research that having the right equipment helps, but the most important elements to capturing that

www.wmagofwyo.com

amazing photo is getting the right shot. This means the shot that leaves an impression, composition the focal point in the photo, lighting is the key to creating an image that stands out, Technique the art of knowing movement, color and lighting, Creativity is very important show an original message, choose subject matter that is interesting, have knowledge of the technical aspects, follow up with retouching, and the most important is the story your telling through your photo. When I sat down with Jeff, I found that he is a soft spoken man who is shy about himself. But when talking about his work he opens up and has an undeniable confidence. He describes working with the Roller Derby girls, rodeo events, mud run, and ring wars and shares his pride about documenting the memories of lifetime events such as a weddings, relationships and proud moments for different individuals. He shared with me that he also loves graphic design and has worked, along with others, creating logos for companies such as the Water Guy; these are just the beginning of his abilities. I asked Jeff what the future looks like to him. Jeff does not have his own studio yet, so the world is his studio. He follows the shot. He would like to have his own studio and he would like to continue doing what he is doing, growing his

photography business. Each day is a new adventure. One of my favorite quotes from him is “Become your own rainbow. “

WINTER HAZARDS & YOUR DOG

W r i t t e n by G i l l e t t e Pe t Ve t C l i n i c

s the temperatures outside start to get lower and you prepare for colder weather, it is important to also prepare your dog for the winter. Whether your dog lives indoors or outdoors, there are dangers in colder conditions. Your dog’s health, food, and environment all need to be taken into consideration when “Old Man Winter” approaches.

that humans stay indoors are issued in your area, it is important to bring your dog indoors too. If your dog cannot be brought indoors, a garage or mud room can provide enough shelter in some cases.

OUTDOOR WINTER HAZARDS

Chemicals like ice melts and salts, antifreeze, and windshield wiper fluids are all toxic and cause serious complications if dogs eat or drink them. Ice melts and salts can stick to the bottom of dogs’ paws, so it is best to wash your dog’s feet after he or she has been outdoors. Methanol and ethylene glycol, the toxic ingredients in windshield wiper fluid and antifreeze, can cause permanent kidney damage and even death. Carbon monoxide poisoning can occur if dogs are left in cars with the motor running or in a garage with a running car.

Being outdoors in the winter can be a lot of fun, but it is important to keep in mind that dogs are susceptible to frostbite, hypothermia (low body temperature), and other cold-weather hazards. Dogs that live outdoors in the winter need special attention to protect them from the wind, snow, rain and cold. Hypothermia can affect normal body functioning and produce injury or, eventually, death. Fresh, unfrozen water must be available at all times. If your dog has a dog house or igloo, make sure the interior is insulated. Safe heated mats, along with a good layer of straw, are an option that can help keep your dog warm and comfortable. Dogs that live outside should be able to come inside when they want to. Older or sick dogs should be kept indoors when possible and monitored closely for signs of illness. Even a dog that is used to being outside can suffer hypothermia and frostbite. If severe winter storm warnings or extreme cold weather alerts recommending

INDOOR WINTER HAZARDS During the winter, people and their pets tend to spend more time indoors, so it is important to keep the home environment safe for your dog. The following are some common issues to be aware of: Burning candles, fireplaces, wood-burning stoves,

and space heaters create the potential for burns and smoke inhalation. The flickers and warmth of a fire can be an attraction for dogs; therefore, dogs should not be left alone in a room with open flames or hot electric elements. When these items are in use, monitor your dog at all times to keep him or her from getting burned or possibly starting a house fire. Carbon monoxide poisoning can be a threat to dogs as well as people. Furnaces, gas water heaters, and gas/kerosene space heaters should always be evaluated for any leakage. Because dogs tend to be in the house for longer periods of time during the winter, they can be exposed to carbon monoxide leaks for longer, which may

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 “Big Enough To Serve You, Small Enought To Want To” 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. 24 hour mobile repair service

BE THE BEST YOU IN 2015: 3 Easy Tips to Keeping your Fitness Resolutions

ggnog, hot chocolate, apple pie, pumpkin pie, turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, sugar cookies, chocolate fudge,...you name it...you ate it over this past holiday season. We all tend to over indulge this time of year. Now that the holidays are over it is time for you to start thinking about your health and fitness goals once again. Every year many people make a New Year’s resolution to start exercising or to change their current exercise routines to get better results. Many people quit following their plans because they aren’t seeing the results they were expecting. You are thinking, “Where do I even start?” It is actually a pretty simple process. All you need to do is commit yourself to making the changes and be specific about what you want to accomplish.

Step 1:

Write down 3 goals for yourself. To help you succeed, use the S.M.A.R.T. (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-bound) goal process.

PECIFIC: Make sure your goals are precise and stated in performance terms. For instance, if you want to lose weight, your goal might be “to lose 15 pounds in the next 10 weeks.” If you want to improve your athletic performance, your goal might be “to complete my first 5K race in the next three months.” If you want to improve your body composition, your goal can be “to reduce my body fat by 10 percent within the next six months.”

M A R T

EASURABLE: A goal is measurable when it is easy to determine if it has been accomplished. The weight loss goal listed above is easily measured. Ten weeks from now you will either weigh 15 pounds less or not. Likewise, with the performance and body composition goals, it will be easy to determine if you are successful.

T TAINABLE: One of the biggest mistakes people make while setting goals is that they set unattainable goals. Goals should be set high, but they must also be realistic. A goal to lose 20 pounds in four weeks is both unrealistic and unhealthy. Make your goals challenging, but attainable. ELEVANT: Your goals should be important to you and fit into your lifestyle. Don’t set a goal just because your friends, family members or exercise partners have set that goal. Your goals are your motivators to continue exercising, so make sure they are important to you.

IME-BOUND: Make sure each goal has a specific time frame for completion. This allows you to easily determine if it has been achieved. It also increases the likelihood that you will accomplish each goal since you know the clock is ticking. For example, the goal “I want to lose 15 pounds in 10 weeks” has a time frame.

W r i t t e n by J e s s i c a E v e n s o n

Step 2:

Evaluate your level of change. Are you ready to jump in right now and make the necessary changes to meet your fitness goals? Or are you still sitting back in the planning stages wondering how you are going to get yourself to the end? There are typically 5 levels of change that we all encounter with our physical fitness levels. It is a good practice for you to determine where you are so that you can decide how you are going to go forward.

PRE-CONTEMPLATION: This is the stage where you are still sitting on the couch doing nothing. You are happy where you are with the way things are in your life. You have thought about going to the gym but never have made it there.

CONTEMPLATION: This is the stage where you are really thinking about making changes. You may be having episodes of heavy breathing walking up the stairs, feeling weak carrying in your groceries, or even realizing your clothes aren’t fitting the way they used to. This is when you are saying to yourself, “I really should go to the gym” or “I really should lose some weight.”

PREPARATION: This is the stage where you are looking into gym memberships. You are researching fitness classes and even printing off workout routines. As you are planning these workouts and events you are getting excited to start something new. This is the stage where you really need to focus on those S.M.A.R.T goals. Typically once you have started this stage, you will be in the action stage within the next month.

ACTION: 9 times out of 10 this is going to be the hardest part of your journey. You have made it this far and all you need to do now is actually walk into that gym and start your workouts. Once you get into it, you need to find ways to keep yourself going. Join classes, find a workout buddy, do something different each time you exercise. This is the stage where most people burnout and relapse and end up going back to stage 3. The key to keeping yourself in this stage is to keep your routines fun and find that person that will hold you accountable.

MAINTENANCE: This is the stage where you are seeing results. Your clothes are fitting. You have met some goals and you are feeling good about yourself. The important thing to remember in this stage is that you can’t quit now. You must keep doing what you have been doing to keep yourself in this stage. All too often people meet their goals and quit going forward. Make new goals and keep changing up your routines. You have made it this far…STOPPING IS NOT AN OPTION! During this stage you have your specific times and days scheduled into your daily routine so that you make sure you are making your health a priority.

Step 3:

It is time to get out that pen and paper and start writing down your thoughts, ideas, and goals.

Health & Fitness

Stay Motivated and keep up the good work! Things are not going to be easy all the time. There are going to be times when you just can’t get your workout in for the day or when you find yourself over indulging on food. Don’t let the little bumps in the road be the end to your journey. Pick yourself back up and start over the very next day! A good rule of thumb that I tell my clients and my class members: Never go more than 3 days without exercise. After that 3rd day it gets harder and harder to get yourself motivated again and get back into the swing of things. Find the motivation that got you going in the first place and get back into it!

With all that being said, don’t fret about all those overindulgences that you had over the holiday season. You now have the tools to start going forward with your fitness journey. Keep in mind that this journey begins with you and ends with you. No one else is going to make this journey happen for you. It is time to get out that pen and paper and start writing down your thoughts, ideas, and goals. If you get stuck and need help putting a plan into action there are people out there to help you move forward. If you don’t want to do this alone, join a class and go through your journey with several people that all come together several times a week for the same purpose! Let this be the year for you! Let’s make magic happen in 2015!

Financial Matters

HOW WOMEN ARE PLANNING THEIR FINANCIAL FUTURES From assorted survey data, an interesting snapshot emerges. P ro v i d e d by B r i a n B i c ke t t

WOMEN ARE TAKING ACTION TO APPROACH RETIREMENT WITH GREATER CONFIDENCE.

. . .

Some recent, intriguing survey data indicates that women are planning their financial futures with some degree of pragmatism, but also with considerable motivation. One of the key motivations, it seems, is receiving financial advice. Results from a new TIAA-CREF survey (and other studies) bear this out. The retirement services

giant polled a random, national sample of 1,000 men and women age 18 and older for its 2014 Advice Matters Survey, and it found that 81% of women who had obtained financial advice were more likely to feel informed about retirement planning and retirement saving than women who hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Additionally, 63% of women who had received financial advice felt confident that they were saving sufficiently for retirement.1

WHAT KIND OF DIFFERENCE . DOES FINANCIAL ADVICE MAKE?

Dale Evenson 10

January / February 2015

Financial Matters A significant difference, it seems. In the big picture, 87% of the women surveyed by TIAA-CREF this summer said they had taken “positive steps” in their financial lives as a consequence. In particular, 64% altered spending habits and 53% took an organized approach to managing debt.1,2 In addition, 51% of the women had created an emergency fund and 57% had increased monthly saving rates since getting advice – and that leads us toward another interesting statistic. 2

to trust. ( That was across all women surveyed, including those who had not sought advice.) 2

Women who had received financial advice felt confident that they were saving sufficiently for retirement

ONE STUDY . SUGGESTS WOMEN . ARE MORE DEDICATED TO . WOMEN MAY PUT MORE RETIREMENT SAVING THAN MEN. . IMPORTANCE ON LONG TERM Looking back at 2013, Vanguard discovered that CARE PLANNING THAN MEN. 79% of women earning between $50,000-75,000 were participating in its employer-sponsored retirement plans; only 60% of men in that income group were. 2

Another notable difference appeared, this one across all income levels. Examining data from all of its retirement plans, Vanguard found that women saved for retirement at rates ranging from 6-12% greater than men. The message that women need more money for (a potentially longer) retirement than men is being heard loud and clear, it seems. 2

WHERE ARE WOMEN GETTING THEIR FINANCIAL ADVICE FROM? .

TIAA-CREF’s survey asked this question, but it only counted online sources. Back in 2012, 20% of women in TIAA-CREF’s 2012 survey said they went to financial websites for advice; this year, that rose to 41%. 2 Most telling is that 49% of the women TIAA-CREF polled felt that it would be helpful to turn to a real person online with their basic personal financial questions. In fact, 61% of women respondents in the survey reported relying on financial services providers (and presumably, the financial professionals who work for them) for advice.1 Still, 66% of the women answering TIAA-CREF’s questions indicated that it was hard for them to determine what sources of financial advice

of these single women expected to work into their seventies or never retire.4

. . .

Or so suggests Genworth’s 2014 Online Consumer Survey. The insurer collected responses from 1,200+ U.S. adults age 18 and older during October, and 64% of women respondents said they were motivated to plan for long term care needs. Only 40% of men responding said they were concerned about that. Even so, Genworth discovered that less than 30% of respondents had talked with their loved ones about planning for eldercare or aging issues. 3 Long term care insurance is getting costlier as the baby boom generation matures, and it may get more expensive for women in the near future than for men: as Morningstar columnist Mark Miller recently noted, gender-based pricing is quickly emerging and may become standard practice.

SINGLE WOMEN NEED TO PLAN & SAVE AGGRESSIVELY FOR THE YEARS AHEAD.

. .

The takeaways here for a single woman: save early, save consistently, exploit Social Security claiming strategies for any potential advantage, and find a social support network that can help you look after yourself as you age.

ADVICE PROMOTES ACTION.

As you amass financial knowledge, you gain perspective. When you run the numbers and estimate the level of retirement savings and income you will need, you are able to set goals and timelines for your financial future. Planning the financial future starts with a commitment – and following through on that commitment is critical.

Having been dubbed “an amazing ride” by the New York Times, this mind boggling performance has been described as, “The Simpsons meets Malcolm X at a Notorious B.I.G. concert”. These theatre trained, comedically gifted, lyrical virtuosos seamlessly blend raw elements of hip hop, theatre, improv and stand up comedy to tell gut wrenching truths that leave audiences forever changed. The Mayhem Poet’s unique approach to spoken word has landed them feature spots on The Today Show and Eyewitness News, after winning first place and a grant for 100K in the Microsoft Idea Wins Challenge in 2006. www.mayhempoets. com/ AIE Programming for 9th Grade General Admission Tickets $6 Adults & $4 Dad’s & Daughter’s Ball Saturday, February 28 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM CAM-PLEX Equality Hall Tickets are available starting Jan. 5th at Top Notch Auto.

Old cells do not die and cells grow out of control, forming new, abnormal cells. There are five categories of cancer. Carcinomas begin in the skin or tissues that line the internal organs.

sels. The process of cancer spreading is called metastasis. No matter where a cancer may spread, it’s always named based on the place where it started. For example, colon cancer that has spread to the liver is called metastatic colon cancer, not liver cancer. In this case, cancer cells taken from the liver would be the same as those in the colon. They would be treated in the same ways too.

Wyoming for 2014 is 2,890. The number of deaths 990 individuals. In the United Sates we have had an estimated 1,665,540 new cancer cases and 585,720 cancer deaths this past year. These numbers are devastating, as is the amount of

DEAR CEEJAY

Your Home & Family Questions Answered

Dear CeeJay, I always get bad service at restaurants. Recently I went with a friend, and saw how great the server treated her. How can I get that same great service when I go to restaurants? There is no great and mysterious secret to receiving great service at a restaurant. Watch what your friend does the next time you go out to eat. I’m willing to bet that she uses her polite words, you know, please and thank you. Calling the server names, yelling at them or just being rude is going to automatically create bad service. If you want to improve your service, remember that kindness and being polite goes much further. Don’t make a lot of extra work for your server either. Making your server have extra trips because you can’t remember to ask for ketchup, ranch or

other condiments adds work. Making large messes (usually parents with kids) also creates more work for these servers. Try and keep things picked up, or leave a little extra tip. You wouldn’t want someone to come into your home and make more work for you, so don’t do it for others. This doesn’t mean that if your meal is taking an hour to get to you that you should just ignore it. You can be firm and polite while speaking to the server about your food. Those in food service have a lot of hard work, cleaning up after others, carrying food and spending hours on their feet. Yes they get paid to serve you, however most servers only earn $2-3 an hour. They rely on tips to make minimum wage. They want to serve you well so that you will also tip well, however that does not mean that they should be treated

like slaves or be otherwise mistreated. Remember that you should always treat others how you want to be treated. If you treat others with kindness, they will treat you with great service. Dear CeeJay, I would like to call attention to all the handicapped vehicles. I happen to drive a handicap van with a chair lift. This means that I park in handicap parking spaces in such a way that I can use the lift. Please tell your readers, when parking next to a handicap vehicle, to make sure there is room for the handicapped to get in and out of their vehicle. This is a good reminder for everyone. Handicap vehicles with lifts need extra room to allow wheelchair access to it. There are also some trucks now with chair lifts in the bed of the truck which need room to swing the person around and into the truck. Some handicap parking spaces have extra yellow stripes between the spaces just for this reason. If you are parking next to a handicap vehicle, please be courteous and make sure there is room for the disabled to get in and out of vehicles. It only takes a moment, and can mean a lot in the winter time. Dear CeeJay, My family always faces the winter time blues after Christmas is over. What can we do to beat the blues this winter? Have a party! You can make it just the family or invite friends over as well. Pull out all the board games, pick some fun food and be goofy for the night. There are lots of crazy weird holidays to celebrate for example; Fruitcake Toss Day (January 3), National Rubber Ducky Day (January 13) and National Pie Day (January 23). There are lots of crazy weird holidays you can celebrate and lots of family friendly games to play. Thank you for your questions. Please email me at CeeJaysathome@yahoo.com with your home and family questions.

I looked into a window there, And saw a picture, large and square. I gazed into a boys blue eyes, And dreamed I heard his lonesome sighs, As he sat there, with none to care, For ragged pants and rumpled hair, He stared into a running brook, With such a far off, dreamy look. I wondered what his thoughts might be, And if he were aware of me. He seemed to need a loving friend To share his day that had no end. The painted sun hung overhead, And cast a painted glow of red Over all the simple scene, And made his cheeks look cold and lean. I wondered if he ever had been Ought else except a child of ten, And if he had a little son That sat to have his portrait done To hang somewhere like this, alone Against a cold, bare, wall of stone. I felt the sadness, standing there, A wondering that questioned where All the people were that had Loved this simple, little, lad, And why they left him there behind Forever out of sight, and mind. Then, as the darkness gathered in, I knew I must be off again, And though I left the picture hang, A melody, within me, sang I knew the boy would never part From his new home, within my heart.
