Welcome Spring! As we are all buzzing with the thoughts of spring, I’m encouraged by our article from Jessica Evenson on Fitness Resolution Tools, which reminds me of perseverance. She writes mainly about diet and exercise, but perseverance is the case with any resolution. She makes a point about tracking—this will make you aware of your progress and accountable to those days you falter. We have to be reminded to stick with our resolutions. Its take consistency to form or change a habit. Thank you Jessica!

I’m excited to introduce Jeff Jones our artist for this issue. Jeff has over twenty years experience with strong beliefs and integrity about his art and his tattoo studio.

I encourage you all to take time to read our Follow Us section as our neighbors and friends to the west could use our help and support in rebuilding.

BIG HORN Easter is approaching, and the Easter bunny will find a plethora of pheasant eggs, already colored light brown and light green, at the Sheridan Bird Farm! The Sheridan Bird Farm is located just three and a half miles from Big Horn. The facility is operated by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, and raises approximately 16,000 ring-necked pheasants annually for release in habitats throughout northern Wyoming. The ring-necked pheasant is not native to the United States. Oregon native, Owen Nickerson Denny (1838-1900), the former United States consul general to Shanghai, China, shipped 60 Chinese Ring-necked Pheasants from China to Oregon on March 13, 1881. Pheasants were not introduced to Wyoming until the establishment of the Sheridan Bird Farm in 1937. Wyoming’s wild pheasant population is negligible, so nearly all pheasants that you see in the wild originated from either the Sheridan Bird Farm or the Downer Bird Farm in Yoder, near Torrington, which was established in 1963. Wyoming is considered a big game state and not a bird state. The bird farm release program supplements the minimal wild bird population. The Sheridan Bird farm usually has four hatches per year. Approximately 1,000 hens lay an average of one egg per day until late May. They begin laying in mid-March and hatchlings can be viewed in early May. Employees collect eggs, hand wash them and inspect them for deformities that could prevent hatching. The eggs are put into coolers that suspend the development of the eggs, holding them in a state of readiness for no more than 9-10 days. When 7000 eggs have been collected they are all transferred to a computer-controlled incubator with oscillating trays that simulate a hen turning the eggs, as she would do if they were in a nest. The incubator holds 21,000 eggs at most. The chicks hatch in 23 days. Hatching can take up to 16 hours for each chick. About 75-80% of the eggs will hatch. When one batch of eggs is taken out of the incubator, another is put in. After hatching the chicks are Outdoor Pen photo submitted by Kimberly Trevithick placed in a warm building. When they are big enough, they are moved to the outdoor pens. The Sheridan Bird Farm facility can hold 13,000-14,000 pheasants. Everyday from the last week in October through mid-December, the pheasants are loaded into trucks and released in several areas all over northern Wyoming, providing quarry for the hunting season.

hen a person commissions a tattoo, they are displaying the artist’s work for the rest of their life. A tattoo reflects its wearer’s personality, beliefs or memories. The first known North American tattoos were displayed amongst the Native Americans; specifically the Chickasaw tribe. Outstanding warriors were recognized by their tattoos. Among the Ontario Iroquoians, elaborate tattoos reflected a high status within the tribe. In Northwest America, Inuit women’s chins were tattooed to indicate marital status and group identity. The first tattoo shop in the U.S. was established in New York City in 1846 and began a tradition of tattooing military servicemen from both sides of the Civil War. Samuel O’Reilly invented the electric tattooing machine in 1891. Tattoo is actually a combination of two words from the Polynesian language. The

I’m so excited to introduce Jeff Jones, the proud founder and owner of Pain for Sale Tattoo studios. He owns two studios in Grand Rapids, Michigan and one here in Gillette. He has over twenty years experience with tattooing. Jeff was born and raised in Grand Rapids, MI. His late parents had their hands full with six kids. Jeff spoke of his family lovingly and expressed his sadness over the loss of his brothers. Jeff attended Creston High School and obtained his GED. At the age of 18, he received his first tattoo and it was that day that he knew what he would be doing for the rest of his life. He’d always had a talent for drawing, and that is a requirement if you are interested in tattooing. Jeff never attended college or art school, he is just naturally talented. He started out with an apprenticeship with Fine Line Designs studio, and then with Liquid Tattoos where he met his mentor and friend, Hawk. After his apprenticeship in 2001 he opened his own studio, and eventually a second, in Grand Rapids called Pain for Sale. Hawk would introduce him to Sturgis, SD, where they both worked the motorcycle rally under Buddha’s Body Art Tattooing on Main Street. While he was in Sturgis he met new friends and they introduced him to Gillette. Jeff found he really liked our community and there was a market and a need for a tattoo shop. Jeff opened Pain for Sale in Gillette in 2007.

word “Tata” means to tap repeatedly by hand. The word “Au” means color. Due to the way that tattoos are traditionally given, sailors travelling through the Polynesian islands would ask for “Tata” “Au”, which evolved into one word known as “Tattoo”.

dren: Dylon, 22, who is an accomplished piercer and manager of Jeff’s main studio in Grand Rapids, Justin, 20, his twin daughters Alexis and Bailey, 19, Chloe, 8, Landon, 7 and the baby, Silas, age 2. He is a very prideful and present parent. He enthusiastically shared that he welcomed granddaughter Zoey Lynn, born February 12, 2015. Congratulations Grandpa! Jeff has a sign hanging in the shop that reads “Enter a stranger and leave a friend.” Having a couple tattoos myself from the very talented artists that Jeff has employed, I have personally entered as a stranger and left as a friend. I witnessed the day Ed Bruns teamed up with Freehand Robert and Pain for Sale of Gillette to shatter the Guinness World Record for body piercing. The new record, set on April 11, 2010, stands at 1501 piercings in 4 hours and 27 minutes. In addition to Jeff, Joanne and Rachael ply their skills at the studio. Joanne has been with Pain For Sale for three years and has eight years experience, as well as a formal background in art. Rachael has a natural talent for drawing and for the past five years has apprenticed under Jeff. The three of them believe client satisfaction is of the utmost importance. At Pain for Sale you will find nothing but professionalism, cleanliness and the best tattoo artists and piercers in the area. Jeff and I spoke about the importance of his artists being well trained. Artists traditionally earn the title by completing an apprenticeship under strict guidelines from an experienced senior tattoo artist. Apprentices are generally expected to be excellent at drawing, with an ability to excel at customizing design ideas and genres, as well as various other

Artistically Speaking styles of art in general. A tattoo apprenticeship traditionally lasts two years. For the first six months to a year, the apprentice is not allowed to tattoo but is trained in sanitation and proper safety techniques. The apprentice will be expected to clean and maintain the shop, as well as watch and continue to grow as an artist. Most apprentices quit during the first year and never achieve full completion of the apprenticeship. The cost of apprenticing can range from free labor around the shop to tens of thousands of dollars. Jeff has had different individuals apprentice under him, and some that have gone on to open their own studios.

concept. Professional artists usually use air or electric powered machines. There are many different needles including liners, shaders, flat shaders and magnum needles. The number of needles they use can range from 15 to 50 needles on one bar. The possession of a working autoclave (the only form of sterilization appropriate for a body modification studio) is mandatory in most states. However, if these jurisdictions are up to date, they will not require an autoclave if the practitioners are using 100% disposable tubes and grips which are made of plastic. These come pre-sterilized for one time use, and are the type used at Pain For Sale.

Basic tools of the trade include the tattoo machine, power supply, clip cord, foot pedal, grip, tips, grip stem, needles, and tattoo ink. While some of the tools of the trade have greatly evolved, others have stayed the same. The conventional tattoo machine has not changed much from its original design

Wyoming legislation reads that body art establishments are businesses that provide body art procedures. Body art refers to the practice of physical body adornment by establishments and artists utilizing, but not limited to, the techniques of body piercing and tattooing. Any person who pierces or tattoos another person for an exchange of something of value needs a license. The studio has to have a full inspection from the health department, and each tattoo artist has to have their own license to work in the state of Wyoming, and they must be certified in blood borne pathogens. Body art is very popular

I asked Jeff what we can expect in the future of Pain for Sale in Gillette. He conveyed he is very happy with the way things are going for him here in Gillette and he will not be going anywhere. With just one shop in Gillette at this time, he will have guest artists coming in the near future like Josh Birrittieri, an American Traditional artist from Souix Falls, South Dakota and the world renowned Free Hand Robert. He will continue to grow his side business, the e-cig store and silk screening t-shirts. Jeff and his friend Steven Fisher will be starting a chapter of the Bearded Sinners in Gillette. Don’t let the name scare you! Bearded Sinners is a non-profit organization that will be holding at least four charity events each year. The members come from different walks of life, brought together by their beards and a desire to make our communities better. I’m encouraged and look forward to seeing how they will make a difference in our community. The studio is located at 104 Gillette Ave., and you can contact them at painforsale28@gmail.com or by calling 307-682-7227.

and in order to decrease the risk of the transfer of blood-borne diseases such as Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C or H.I.V., the establishments are inspected annually. The Cheyenne-Laramie County Board of Health Rules and Regulations for Body Art Establishments mandates only formal training in blood-borne pathogens and cross contamination. Jeff has the formal training to train and certify others in blood borne pathogens. All of his employees are certified. You have to be eighteen years old or have a guardian present to obtain a tattoo in Wyoming and Michigan.

What Are Ticks?

600 S. Douglas Hwy., Gillette

307.682.9209

Ticks are small, eight-legged parasites that must drink blood in order to survive and reproduce. Ticks don’t fly, and they can’t jump (unlike fleas). In fact, ticks are more closely related to spiders and mites than to “insects” like fleas. Of the hundreds of tick species, approximately 80 are found in the United States. Ticks can feed on a variety of hosts including birds, dogs, cats, and people.

Why Are Ticks a Problem?

If a dog is heavily infested with ticks, the parasites can drink enough blood to cause anemia (severe blood loss). However, ticks are mostly a concern because of the diseases they can transmit to their hosts. Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever are among the dangerous diseases that ticks can transmit to your dog. Although people can’t catch these diseases from dogs directly, infected ticks can bite people and transmit them. If your dog

Pet Talk When a host walks by and brushes against the grass or shrub where the tick is waiting, the tick climbs onto the host. Once on a new host, the tick eventually finds a location to attach and feed.

Ticks and Your Dog:

What You Should Know P ro v i d e d by G i l l e t t e Pe t Ve t C l i n i c

is exposed to these dangers, chances are that you and your family may also be at risk for exposure.

How Do Dogs Get Ticks?

Despite a very popular myth, ticks don’t fall or jump out of trees onto a host. However, ticks can climb, and they tend to attach themselves to shrubs and blades of tall grass. They can also live in dens of rodents and other small mammals. One species of tick can even live indoors.

For some diseases, like Lyme disease, a tick must be attached for several hours in order to transmit the infection to a host. This means that if you check your dog (and yourself) daily, you have a chance of finding and removing any ticks before they can transmit Lyme disease.

How Can I Protect My Dog From Ticks?

Keeping your dog out of wooded areas, tall grass, and other tick habitats is a good way to reduce the risk of exposure. However, this can be difficult for many pet owners, especially if they share an active outdoor lifestyle with their dog. Effective tick control products can be used on dogs to help protect them from ticks. There are many options, including spot-on liquid products and collars. Your veterinarian can recommend a safe and effective product for your dog.

an effective tick control product, you should still check your dog daily for ticks and remove any as soon as you find them. You should never remove a tick with your fingers. Tweezers work well, but be sure to grasp the tick close to the head and pull gently to avoid leaving the mouthparts imbedded in the skin. There are also tick removal tools that are very easy to use and highly recommended. Avoid using lighter fluid, matches, or other products that may irritate the skin or cause other injuries to your dog. When in doubt, ask your veterinary care team for assistance removing the tick.

Fitness Resolution Tools: A closer look at a few tools that trainers use.

N

ow that we have made it into 2015, it’s time to look at those resolutions that you made for this year. Have you stuck to those resolutions? Have you made changes? Do you need help? As a personal trainer and a fitness class instructor, I get asked almost daily, “What apps do you use to help keep you focused on your diet? How do you track your exercise? How do you stay motivated?” I am going to give you some of the tools that I use on a daily basis and some pointers on how to keep you focused on those resolutions.

First things first, let’s start with the food journaling.

How many times have you heard or seen the acronym MFP? MFP stands for My Fitness Pal. It is available for free on the web and as an app for your handheld devices. My Fitness Pal will help you

track your daily food intake and it will also let you track your exercise for the day. You can customize your goals within the program and it will help keep you on track to meet those goals. MFP has helped several people lose weight just by tracking their caloric intake. Basically anything that goes into your mouth, you need to log into the program. There is a barcode scanner that allows for you to

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

simply put in the foods that you are buying. The food database is incredibly large and there isn’t much that isn’t in there. It also has several restaurant menus available as well. My Fitness Pal has helped me stay on track with my food intake and it helps inform me of the types of foods I am eating. If I fall short, it tells me that I need to eat more! If I am over, it tells me that, too!

It doesn’t matter if it is on paper or in an app. — keeping a food and exercise diary or log can double a person’s weight loss success.

Health & Fitness Don’t forget to log all of your hard work.

As far as tracking my exercise, I use a few different methods for that. For my weight lifting, I keep a notebook and a pencil handy at all times. For almost everything else, I use a FitBit. There are so many different forms of the FitBit available these days. The FitBit is a handy device to help track your activity levels, your calorie burn, the steps taken in a day, your sleep and even your heart rate. Other features that are available are

connecting with friends, logging your food, some have GPS capabilities, you can record your activity, track your progress, and it will send you notifications when you are moving toward your goals.

It also sends you badges when you have achieved an accomplishment. There are challenge groups that you can join and compete with your friends to make sure you are pushing yourself. The FitBit also syncs with My Fitness Pal to have all your information in one place.

Motivators for everyone are always going to be different.

Motivators for everyone are always going to be different. The number one motivator for me right now is knowing that on most days of the week, I have a classroom full of people looking up to me and pushing themselves to their limits. Yes they complain, yes they sweat, but in the end they are thankful for the workout they got in for the day. Other motivators that I have are the goals that I have set for myself. I try to change up my plan every once in a while so I don’t get bored. Once the boredom hits, you lose your motivation to continue. I always have something to look forward to with each fitness challenge that I present to myself. It is important to change your routines so that you are always interested in making your workouts count. Motivators can also be simple little things such as gifting yourself with small rewards at the end of an accomplishment. Find the one thing that you like to do such as a massage and after you have hit a milestone, make an appointment and reward yourself!

It may seem like a tall order, but it can be accomplished. P ro v i d e d by B r i a n B i c ke t t Plan to put yourself steps ahead of your peers. If you have a young, growing family, no doubt your to-do list is pretty long on any given day. Beyond today, you are probably working on another kind of to-do list for the long term. Where does “saving and investing” rank on that list? For some families, it never quite ranks high enough – and it never becomes the priority it should become. Assorted financial pressures, sudden shifts in household needs, bad luck – they can all move “saving and investing” down the list. Even so, young families have planned to build wealth in the face of such stresses. You can follow their example. It is less an option than a necessity.

First step: put it into numbers.

Everything you want is on the other side of fear.

– Jack Canfield –

Yes, Young Growing Families Can Save & Invest

Most people have invested a little by the time they reach 30 or 35, and some have invested avidly. A plan is not always in place, however. The mission is simply to “make money” or “build wealth” for “the future.” This is good, but also vague. How much money will you need to save by 65 to promote enough retirement income and to live comfortably? Are you on pace to build a retirement nest egg that large? How much risk do you feel comfortable

tolerating as you invest? What kind of impact are investment fees and taxes having on your efforts? A financial professional can help you arrive at answers to these questions, and others. He or she can help you define long-range retirement savings goals and project the amount of savings and income you may need to sustain your lifestyle as retirees. At that point, “the future” will seem more tangible and your wealth-building effort even more purposeful.

Second step: start today & never stop.

If you have already started, congratulations! In getting an early start, you have taken advantage of a young investor’s greatest financial asset: time. If you haven’t started saving and investing, you can do so now. It doesn’t take a huge lump sum to begin. Even if you defer $100 worth of salary into

a retirement plan a month, you are putting a foot forward. See if you can allocate much more. If you begin when you are young and keep at it, you will witness the awesome power of compounding as you build your retirement savings and net worth through the years. Just how awesome is it? An example: let’s say you save $100 per month in an investment account for 20 years and the account returns a (hypothetical) 5% for you over those two decades. In 20 years under such conditions, your $100-a-month nest egg will not amount to $24,000 – it will work out to $41,011, which is 71% more! If you put in $200 a month, you wind up with a projected $82,022 off of the $24,000 in contributions! We aren’t factoring in account fees or market fluctuations, of course – but you get the picture. Stretched out to 30 years, a consistent $100-per-month contribution and a consistent 5% return project to $82,302; raise the monthly contribution to $200 and you get $164,604. These numbers factor in annual compounding; use daily compounding as the variable, and they grow a bit larger. So even if you set aside and invest a few twenties each month, you may still end up with appreciable retirement savings – and these are numbers for one retirement saver, there are two of you.1

What’s that? You say you can’t retire on $164,000 or less? You’re absolutely right. You have to devote more than that to your effort. You may need a million or two – and if you plan ahead, you may very well generate it. Ownership of equity investments, real property, business or professional success – this can all help to position you and your family for a comfortable future, provided you keep good financial habits along the way and pay attention to taxes.

How do you find the balance?

This is worth addressing – how do you balance saving and investing with attending to your family’s immediate financial needs?

Bottom line, you have to find money to save and invest for your family’s near-term and long-term goals. If it isn’t on hand, you may find it by reducing certain household costs. Are you spending a lot of money on goods and services you want rather than need? Cut back on that kind of spending. Is credit card debt siphoning away dollars you should assign to saving and investing? Fix that financial leak and avoid paying with plastic whenever you can. Other young families are doing it, and yours can as well.

came to this country with little more than the clothes on their backs who have found prosperity; there are families (including single-parent households) who have been dealt a bad hand yet overcame long financial odds to gain affluence. It all starts with belief – the belief that you can do it. Complement that belief with a plan and regular saving and investing, and you may find yourself much better off much sooner than you think.

Vow to keep “paying yourself first” – maintain the consistency of your saving and investing effort. What is more important, saving for your child’s college education or buying those season tickets? Who comes first in your life, your family or your gardener? You know the answer.

(The B stands for Beatrice, only I do not like Beatrice. I just like B and that’s all.) This is the bestest musical ever, I tell you! It’s got loads of funny songs, and it’s based on a bunch of books this lady, Barbara Park, wrote about me and the things I do in first grade. Whew! I’m glad I can write everything down in my Top-Secret Personal Beeswax Journal! And you know what? I think I might like first grade after all! Love, (but not the mushy kind) Junie B.

There has been some relief through fundraising and donations, but there is still more needed to recapture the splendor this small town once had. Dubois, located in Northwestern Wyoming, is known as a gateway to the state’s scenic wildernesses, including Grand Teton and Yellowstone national parks. It’s located along the Wind River and framed by the Absaroka and Wind River Mountains. The area around present-day Dubois was first settled in the 1870’s by a gentlemen named Oran M. “Old Man” Clark, who homesteaded ten miles west of the present site of Dubois. It was in 1914, with the efforts of Eugene Amoretti, Jr., an early guide and then banker and entrepreneur who, with the establishment of the Welty Store actually became responsible for the development of Dubois as a town. The original settlement was called “Never Sweat’, a joke on the men of the area who seemed not to take work too seriously. But the federal government named it Dubois, after an Idaho senator of the era. Dubois

miles North of Rawlins and 100 miles from Shoshoni. It was in 1914 that the Wyoming Tie & Timber Company began cutting railroad ties in the Togwotee Pass (elevation 9,658 feet). Scandinavian loggers known as tie hacks produced over ten million handmade ties for the railroads. They would float them hundreds of miles down the Wind River to Riverton in massive week-long drives. Dubois’ annual spring Swedish Smorgasbord is a celebration of the legacy of the tie hacks. Today, a memorial West of Dubois pays tribute to the rugged tie hacks.

offers interpretive displays on the Bighorn sheep, as well as acting as a source for research documents. Early on, Dubois became popular with big game hunters, particularly with those hunting Bighorn Sheep. The Ramshorn Peak area was noted as the prime hunting area for Bighorn Sheep in the United States. It was, however, difficult to access. Prior to the arrival of passenger train service to Lander in 1922, accessing Dubois required almost a 200 hundred mile trip by wagon or stagecoach from Casper. In 1889, Bryant B. Brooks, owner of the V Bar V Ranch on the Big Muddy River, needed six-weeks to escort a party of hunters into the Wind River Range above Dubois. Brooks, in a description of the trip from Casper to Dubois, rhetorically asked, “Do you know about the 150 mile stretch between Casper

USDA Offers Single Family Housing Repair and Rehabilitation Loans and Grants The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Rural Development, 504 Rural Housing program provides access to financing for very low income homeowners who are unable to obtain credit elsewhere in need of repairs and home improvements to ensure health and safety or help maintain basic quality standards.

A rural owner-­‐occupied homeowner whose house needs repairs may be eligible for a loan and/or grant. Grants are only available to homeowners who are 62 years old or older to remove health and safety hazards, and cannot repay a Section 504 loan. Income and property eligibility guidelines have been established for each County in the State. To ensure your area and income is eligible, you can access the following website: http://eligibility.sc.egov.usda.gov/eligibility/welcomeAction.do.

Examples of what repair loans and grants may be used for include (but are not limited to) removing health and safety hazards by repairing roofs, providing sanitary water and waste disposal systems that meet local health department requirements, installing screens, windows, or insulation, replacement of heating systems, electrical wiring and repairs or modifications to make the home accessible to persons with disabilities, adding a room, remodeling a kitchen, or otherwise modernizing the home.

Loans and grants cannot be used to assist in the construction of a dwelling or make repairs to a dwelling that is in such poor condition that, with completed repairs, the dwelling continues to be a major hazard to the safety and health of its occupants.

Very Low income families can receive up to $20,000 in loan funds, with repayment terms up to 20 years, depending on their income available to repay the loan. The interest rate is 1%.

Grants of up to $7,500 (lifetime assistance) and loan/grant combinations are available to applicants who are 62 years or older.

For more information visit the Rural Development Rural Repair and Rehabilitation Loans and Grants website at: http://www.rd.usda.gov/programs-­‐services/single-­‐family-­‐housing-­‐repair-­‐loans-­‐grants or contact one of the following: Jessica Taylor, Area Specialist (Sheridan) Phone: 307.672.5820 x4 Email: Jessica.Taylor@wy.usda.gov DeAnne Larrow, Area Technician (Riverton) Phone: 307.856.7524 x4 Email: DeAnne.Larrow@wy.usda.gov #
