Carrying The Right News...To The Right Places

On April 8th, 2009, the 17,000 ton U.S.-flagged Maersk Al-abama, which was ferrying cargo for the World Food Pro-gram, was boarded by pirates on her way to the Kenyan port of Mombassa via Djibouti. Associated Press writers Todd Pitman and Lara Jakes reported that crew members saw the pirates using ropes and hooks to come over the side of the ship from a small boat on the surface. Captain Richard Phil-lips, upon hearing the shots the pirates were firing into the air, told his crew to barricade themselves in a cabin and then surrendered himself to the pirates--hoping for the best. That ‘best’ came in the form of the USS Bainbridge, one

The new, larger bridge on Tank Farm road is open for driving as the old one is being torn down. Residents along Tank Farm and the sur-rounding area will now have to worry less about meeting oncoming traffi c on the bridge and are happy to see it open for use. Debby Mc-Crary, who lives on Flying Dutchman, said with a grin, “I’ll be the

person sitting on one side waiting for the [oncoming] car to cross and then realize ‘Oh, yeah, there are two lanes now!’” Her senti-ments about the new bridge probably sum it up for anyone living in that area for she then said, “I love it--it’s awesome!”

of the three U.S. warships which were following the enclosed lifeboat where Captain Phillips was being held. On board the destroyer, the cap-tain of the USS Bainbridge began negotiating with the pirates for Phil-lips’ release. Things took a major turn for the worse on Easter Sunday, however, when one of the pirates pointed an AK-47 at Captain Phillips’ back. Believing him to be in ‘imminent danger’, the commander of the Bainbridge gave the order for the Navy snipers posted on the warship’s fantail to open fi re. Captain Phillips was rescued unharmed, three of the four pirates were killed by the sniper fi re, and the fourth is now in U.S. custody--possibly facing life in a U.S. prison.

So, knowing that a person could be killed or given life in prison, what would make a person want to become a pirate? According to a source

from the U.S. Department of Defense, who wishes to ramin anonymous, it is a matter of money. “Poor people around the world forever have been resorting to piracy to make money,” the source told The Glenrock Bird. “They have nothing and they want something.” Make no mistake, however, that these pirates are acting individually. They are well orga-nized, well funded, and defi nitely not alone. The source went on to say, “They’re doing it for someone else--they’re not doing it alone. They are recruited by people who are promising them all the things you can be promised and they fall for it--hook, line, and sinker.”

The way the pirates operate is this: Once a ship has been boarded and the crew taken hostage, the pirates set about ransoming the crew, the ship, and the cargo (if they can’t use it) to the company which owns the ship. Many shipping companies will pay the ransom in order to avoid trouble and get their ships back. This only appears to fuel the fi re of the pirates who are looking for a quick and easy payday.

So what about the romantic notion of pirates as portrayed in the movies or on TV by actors such as Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom? In answer to this question, the anonymous source emphatically stated, “There is no romantic view of pirates. They’re thieves, murderers--everything I can think of in the negative sense.”

There is some concern that the amazing rescue will escalate the violence from the pirates. Several self-proclaimed pirates have already made ver-bal threats against the United States. Abdullahi Lami, one of the pirates who are holding a Greek ship in the Somali town of Gaan, told the As-sociated Press, “Every country will be treated the way it treats us. In the future, America will be the one mourning and crying. We will retali-

ate (for) the killings of our men.” While the dramatic rescue of Captain Phillips may cause an escalation in pirate violence, it also brings to light the growing problem of piracy faced by many countries--the U.S. now among them.

Regardless of the reasons behind piracy, the United States and the world cannot stand idly by and let these brigands control the shipping lanes. It is good to know that the U.S. Military is ready and willing to step in and take whatever steps necessary to save our citizens--no matter where they may be.

This spring many area teenagers will attend prom, graduation and end-of-school parties. Some parents, relatives, or adult friends may choose to supply alcohol to celebrate these events. Children today learn from example - and what example are they learning if alcohol is being bought for them? Do they learn that it is okay to disobey the law? That it’s okay for them to consume alcoholic beverages as a minor? That it doesn’t cause any harm?

Whatever these people are thinking, when they contribute to the de-linquency of minors, there’s one real truth - it’s wrong! Adults need to realize that there are penalties that go along with buying alcohol for minors. There are fi nes, jail time and even further consequences if any underage drinkers are hurt due to a result of being intoxi-cated. When adults supply the demand it sends teenagers a mixed message. Underage drinking is not a teen problem, but rather a community problem.

If we can delay the onset of a child experimenting with alcohol, the less likely they will be to develop alcoholism. Statistics have

shown that kids who start drinking at an earlier age tend to have more problems later on in life. It is all of our jobs to be more re-sponsible as adults and to show our children that they do not need alcohol to have an enjoyable time.

The Glenrock Police Department and other area law enforcement agencies will be providing extra patrol for prom and graduation. If anyone is discovered to be underage and consuming alcohol, they will be cited and/or taken to jail. We as law enforcement are dedi-cated to this community problem and will investigate every minor in possession case. This will include determining who was respon-sible for providing the alcohol. Once that person(s) is identifi ed, they too can expect to be cited and/or jailed as well. NO EXCUSES will be excepted...........

News from the Nest The Weather Vane

Washington, D.C. – Before the U.S. Department of Agriculture charges ahead with an animal identifi cation system, farmers and ranchers need to know the costs and benefi ts and that sensitive busi-ness information will remain secure. U.S. Senators John Thune, R-S.D. and Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., drove that point home in a letter to Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today.

“I have some serious concerns with the National Animal Identifi ca-tion System that I would like the new Administration to address,” said Thune. “I believe that a thorough cost-benefi t analysis of the NAIS program is necessary to give South Dakota producers a bet-ter understanding of what they can expect from the voluntary sys-tem. If such a study demonstrated signifi cant benefi t to producers and USDA ensures information will be secure, producers would be more inclined to participate in making the program successful.”

“Ranching is a business and for any business to undertake a new venture it needs to know what it’s getting into. If a voluntary pro-gram is going to be successful, ranchers must be confi dent that their livelihoods will not be jeopardized,” Enzi said. “Without a compre-hensive cost-benefi t analysis from the USDA this system is going to have a hard time getting off the ground.”

The senators wrote that a voluntary, market-oriented animal iden-tifi cation system will succeed only if a substantial number of live-stock producers, processors, veterinarians, and other animal han-dlers participate in such a program. The senators also wrote that the USDA must ensure that all sensitive business information should be used only by appropriate animal health authorities in the event of a disease outbreak.

The National Animal Identifi cation System (NAIS) is designed to allow participants to trace livestock diseases to the source of an outbreak. NAIS joins a number of existing state and local efforts to improve responses to animal disease outbreaks.

Vilsack announced April 15 that he will soon hold listening sessions around the country to discuss concerns about the development of the program.

Enzi and Thune encourage Wyoming and South Dakota ranchers and farmers to participate and get their ideas and concerns to the USDA.

April 14, 2009 -- The recent federal budget bill approved by Con-gress includes $242,000 to continue research to combat diseases that affect both livestock and wildlife in Wyoming.

Most of the federal money will be used to continue research conduct-ed by a coalition of investigators from the University of Wyoming, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department (WGFD), the Wyoming Department of Agriculture and Wyoming Livestock Board. For the past three years, researchers have investigated diseases that have an impact on either or both wildlife and livestock populations.

This recent funding will be used to combat the spread of brucellosis through improved vaccines, improved understanding of the ecology and epidemiology of brucellosis in elk and development of better diagnostic tests for brucellosis. Brucellosis is a bacterial disease that can cause domestic cattle, elk and bison to abort their calves.

“This research is very timely and is yielding information that can be put to use immediately by managers and laboratory personnel in the fi eld,” says Frank Galey, dean of the UW College of Agriculture.The researchers are also investigating pneumonia in both domestic and wild sheep, fatal neurological diseases such as chronic wasting disease (CWD), which has been found in deer and elk populations in southern Wyoming and northern Colorado, and scrapie in sheep.

“These diseases could seriously harm important areas of Wyoming’s economy, so the benefi ts of such research are signifi cant,” says Ga-ley. He says researchers at the university are actively engaged in de-veloping new tests for the rapid diagnosis of brucellosis in wildlife and potential vaccine candidates that are more effective in wildlife. This one-year effort could include a variety of projects, including work with the organism itself as well as some applied work in the fi eld with elk and cattle.

“Healthy domestic and wild animals are important to Wyoming’s residents, as well as visitors to the state,” says Galey. According to the Wyoming Game and Fish Department 2008 annual report, elk hunters injected more than $37.7 million into Wyoming’s economy and mule deer hunters contributed nearly $35 million.

Brucellosis is found in some bison and elk in the Greater Yellow-stone Area. As a result, ranchers in western Wyoming now pay high prices for herd vaccination and surveillance testing. The potential for the disease to re-emerge in cattle also costs the WGFD through lost elk productivity and management costs associated with control-ling the disease, Galey says.

Wyoming is readying its soldiers for what will be the largest single-unit mobilization the Wyoming National Guard has ever received. No less than 941 Wyoming National Guardsmen (and women) will be sent for pre-deployment training at Fort Hood, Texas in the month of April for the beginning of a 400-day ‘federal active duty’ order.

From Texas, the soldiers will head to Kuwait along with units from Alabama, Colorado, Minnesota, and South Dakota for a year-long tour under the command of Colonel Richard Knowlton. During their deploy-ment, personnel will be performing convoy security, planning security--both physically and logistically, and managing forward operating bases, all of which ensures the protection and implementation of military oper-ations to the highest degree of excellence. Wyoming’s Adjutant General, Major General Ed Wright stated through a press release, “We have been proactively training to ensure our soldiers will excel when they mobi-lize. We leaned forward in the saddle. To do anything less would have been a disservice to our soldiers, their families and employers.”

GLENROCKIAN AMONG UW TOP STUDENTS FINALISTS

When a soldier in Bosnia, who just happened to be a Wyoming resident, contacted the Wyoming State Library by e-mail to get help download-ing books, of course they helped him out. You see, the young man had forgotten his library card and pin number and so couldn’t access the library’s databases. After helping this Wyoming soldier, the good people of the library realized just how many deployed soldiers depended on their home libraries for entertainment and even distance learning (yes, some of our soldiers are working on their degrees while they are de-ployed…..how’s that for multi-tasking?). The powers that be at the State Library began to think about the upcoming deployment and they began to ask themselves, ‘What can we do?’ and the answer came…..MP3s.

Lesley Boughton, State Librarian of the Wyoming State Library, said, “It’s such a huge deployment and we’re so proud of the work they do. We know they’re going to be gone for at least a year and so we were say-ing, ‘What are some of the things in Wyoming that they can enjoy even when they aren’t physically in Wyoming?’.” So the group worked with Creative Technologies out of California and purchased over 900 MP3 players to distribute. Now the soldiers will be able to download audio fi les of books from the State site, and music from wherever they choose. The MP3 devices have a built-in radio, video, and picture capabilities. A special library card, affectionately dubbed the ‘Guard Card’ by Les-ley Boughton, has even been created so the soldiers wouldn’t have any problems accessing downloads. Miss Boughton said, “We are hoping that this helps them while they are deployed [to] get some entertain-ment--read (or listen to) a book.”The group gave a presentation in Cheyenne of the MP3 players, and it is hoped that those soldiers familiar with the devices will help integrate

those who aren’t before they go to Kuwait. Miss Boughton added, “It was very emotional giving them those MP3 players because they were so appreciative--it was really great!”

The Wyoming State Library is considering building a fund to continue the purchase of MP3s for future soldiers deploying from Wyoming. If you would like to contribute to the fund, or would like more information on the program, please contact Lesley Boughton at 307-777-6333.

to community leaders to inform them of our upcoming mission and to seek their support for our soldiers’ families and civilian employers. Our mission will only be successful if our support system here in Wyoming is actively engaged and fully informed.”Mark your calendars for April 21st and set aside some time to be at the Casper Events Center to show support for our soldiers before they leave to give their support for us.Thanks to Master Sergeant Trudy Woodcock for the press releases and in-formation.

THIRD GRADE VISITS GLENROCK’S DEER CREEK MUSEUMJessica Smith - Staff Reporter

On April 16th and 17th, Grant Elementary 3rd graders got a taste of Wyoming history through a visit to Glenrock’s Deer Creek Museum.

Mrs. Sibrel, Mrs. Long, and Miss Sixbey’s classes took a tour and an-swered questions from a packet created by museum directors. The chil-dren learned such things as what people in the area used for transporta-tion, what they had for natural resources, and the types of ‘technology’

available to them at the time. They also learned such interesting facts like: skinny boys no older than the age of sixteen were recruited to be Pony Express riders.

Sibyl Walters and Trish Popovitch of the Deer Creek Museum were on

hand to talk to the students about Wyoming’s rich heritage. Sibyl, who is the Secretary of the Historical Commission and its Public Relations Offi cer, has been giving these tours to elementary children for many years. “Every year, the teacher calls me and says, ‘When can we do our visit to the museum?’, so we set up a date and this year is the most kids we’ve ever had,” she stated happily, “It’s taken two full days!” Sibyl added with a grin, “We do this every year--we look forward to it!” Trish

Popovitch, the Vice Chairman of the Historical Commission and act-ing curator (not to mention Mom to the very adorable Nikolai) couldn’t agree more and stated, “We enjoy having the kids here and it’s a great chance for them to get to know their own local history.” The Historical Commission has been around since 1981 and the Deer Creek Museum opened its doors in 1998.

The students truly seemed amazed at the artifacts contained in the mu-seum and eagerly ran from display to display to see what was next. Mrs. Walters spoke with a smile, “They are curious and they are so interested in everything…they’re like little sponges--they just soak it all up!”

Glenrock History is a part of the 3rd grade curriculum and it is important for our youth to learn about how their ancestors lived. Mrs. Sibrel, one

of the 3rd grade teachers stated, “We study Glenrock History. There’s not a lot of resources for us at our reading level--there are no real books our kids can read, so this is a really excellent resource for our kids where they can look at everything hands-on.”

cident where she received a citation for no insurance by the Glenrock Police Department. The citation sent up a red fl ag to Detective Dush of the Snowfl ake, AZ Police Department. We’ve been following her moves for nearly three years, in connection with a case involving a Justice Court Judge in Navajo County, AZ, where Zaremba worked for approximately six months. According to Dush, Zaremba is being charged with two counts of tam-pering with physical evidence, a Class 6 felony in Arizona, one count of fraudulent schemes and practices, a Class 5 felony, one count of com-puter tampering , a Class 3 felony, one count of computer tampering, a Class 2 felony, and one count of theft, a Class 6 felony.

vajo County. Detective Dush stated that cases were being deleted from the court computer. Receipt books disappeared. Accounting records were manipulated to her benefi t. The amount was over $1,000, making the crime a felony. However, the steps Zaremba took while committing the crime include at the very least, six felonious counts against the Jus-tice Court which is overseen by the Superior Court. Normally Arizona does not extradite a known felon. However, with the offenses directing affecting the public, the court systems and the court system cases, an ex-tradition order was set into motion on October 14th 2008 and the search for Zaremba escalated. “Zaremba disappeared just prior to the investigation” stated Dush [of the aforementioned crimes.] After Zaremba’s disappearance a search warrant yielded evidence located in a storage shed owned by the suspect. Inside the storage unit investigators found the missing receipt books and other physical evidence directly linking Zaremba to the crimes. The 2008 vehicle accident in Glenrock, in which Charlotte was cited for driving without insurance, led to the impending arrest and extradition order. Records show that Zaremba used as many as six aliases during her fl ight to avoid prosecution including, Charlotte Ann Hoff, Charlotte Ann Lilly and Lilly Ann Zaremba. After Detective Dush located her in Wyo-ming, the fi rst step was to make sure he truly had the correct suspect. On the morning of April 14th, Offi cer Kavenius received a call from Dush, confi rming the warrant from Arizona and asked the Glenrock Po-lice Department to formally get involved with the apprehension of Za-remba. Offi cer Kavenius ran the necessary info the the NCIC (National Crimes & Information Center) databank, which stated that Arizona was wishing to extradite her and that the warrant was confi rmed. Offi cer Kavenius made several attempts to locate her throughout his shift. When he was relieved by Offi cer Wickett for the evening patrol shift, he explained to Wickett the situation, and asked that she attempt to make contact the suspect and execute the warrant. Shortly after 10 p.m. that evening, Offi cer Wickett located Zaremba at her residence and placed her into custody without incident. Zaremba was transported to the Converse County Jail where she is being held in custody for trans-portation back to Arizona by the Navajo County Sheriff’s Offi ce. Dush stated “They will more than likely drive out in one of our prisoner vans and transport her back to us that way.”Booking Photo courtesy Converse County Sheriff Department

On April 8, 2009, Nikki Tresch signed her letter of intent to play basketball for Gillette College. Nikki, the daughter of Roger and Lori Tresch was approached by Coach Will Rider of Gillette back in December when he stopped by during one of their practices. “He gave me a big booklet with a pamphlet talking about Gillette….and that’s basi-cally where it started,” she said.

Nikki averaged 47% of her two-point attempts, 41% from the three point line, and also averaged 13 points per game. With stats like that, it’s no wonder Gillette wanted to sign her. Coach Rid-er stated, “Way back in December--I knew then that Nikki was the real deal and it was reiterated each time I got to watch her play in person.” With this signing, Nikki became the fi rst offi cial re-cruit for Gillette College for girls basketball and Coach Rider added, “We’re excited to have her on board.”

Nikki’s parents, Roger and Lori Tresch, couldn’t be more thrilled for their daughter. Mr. Tresch, a teacher at Glenrock High School, had this to say about Nikki: “She’s a hard worker and it pays off. She’s had good coaching--it’s not just one person--there’s a lot of people involved in her success at this point.” He then added, “I’m extremely proud of her. It’s hard because it’s exciting about her future--we’re excited about the opportunity she’s got--but it’s sad because the kids are growing up and moving on. She’s our fi rst one to leave the house. It’s kind of a bitter-sweet feeling, it really is.” Lori Tresch was teary-eyed when she took her turn to speak about her little girl. “There’s a whole new journey on the horizon. I’m extremely proud of her,” she said, and then added with a smile, “The best part is we get to go watch her play college ball next year.”

When asked what he thought about his player, Coach Lehner of G.H.S. stated, “I’m really excited--I’m very proud. I think this will be a great opportunity for her and I’m just thrilled to death that she’s going to get the opportunity to play. I think she’ll do a terrifi c job!”

Julie Kuhlman, activities director at the high school, added, “We can’t be more proud at Glenrock High School of kids like Nikki Tresch. Nikki is the fourth signing this year….of kids that are going to play athletics. Although we don’t think that athletics are the most important things, they are an important part for these kids.” She went on to say, “For her to be the fi rst kid to sign with Gillette--we think that’s a great thing. She’s a great kid. She’s very talented and her future is bright!” Once again, a youth from Glenrock is expanding their horizons and do-ing this community proud. Congratulations to Nikki Tresch, the newest offi cial Pronghorn at Gillette College!

The second half of the track and fi eld season is well under way as teams from all around the state prepare for the regional and state meets which are only a month away. With the uncooperative weather most teams have been experiencing, getting the chance to compete has been a rar-ity rather than the norm in Wyoming this year. The Glenrock Herders traveled to Casper on Tuesday, April 14th to compete against the bigger schools in the Kelly Walsh Mini Invitational. No teams scores were kept for this meet, but the Herders made a strong showing against the bigger schools in the state. Individual Herder results are as follows:100 meter Girls-J.Stewart 13.69, J.Hunt 13.77, W.Summers 14.23, M.Smith 14.45, G.Byrd 14.79Boys-D.Nielsen 11.21, 4th, R.Lee 11.52, D.Sibrel 12.00, D.Downs 12.19, C.Macormic 12.27, D.Rowe 12.69, L.Butler 13.34, G.Kron 14.28, R.Boner 16.95, S.Flynn 18.46 200 meter Girls-J.Stewart 28.72, 4th, J.Hunt 28.98, 7th, W.Summers 30.43, M.Smith 31.23Boys-D.Nielsen 23.08, 2nd, R.Lee 23.93, T-6th, D.Sibrel 24.97, C.Macormic 25.14, D.Rowe 26.43, L.Butler 28.11, G.Kron 30.76 400 meterGirls-S.Stewart 66.13, 6th, M.Widiker 68.29, K.Walters 73.10, C.Kumpula 76.19, Boys-S.Gore 60.85 800 meter

The Glenrock Middle School and High School bands would like to in-vite any members of Glenrock and the surrounding area who play (or played) a band instrument to participate in “Monster Band 2009.” This is a unique performance that was begun a few years ago in which non-school age musicians and recent graduates of the GHS band join the school band students to create a “monster-sized” band to perform a few pieces. We will be putting the monster band together for the May 5, 2009 GHS/GMS band concert to perform 3 pieces of music. Each of the school bands will perform a couple of pieces, and then you will join the 7th-12th grade musicians on stage for the fi nal numbers.

Part of this year’s concert will be a celebration of the Centennial Cel-ebration for the town of Glenrock, and special plans have been made to commission a piece of music to dedicate to the celebration. That music will receive it’s world premiere at this concert. Please plan on being a part of this exciting event.

We will have 2 rehearsals, so hopefully you can make it to at least one (both would be best, of course!) The rehearsals will be held on Thurs-

day April 30th at 7:00 PM, and Monday May 4th at 7:00 PM in the GHS Band room. The school has some instruments left to be checked out, but not very many, so hopefully you have access to an instrument somewhere. Please be sure to let us know if you don’t have one, and we will do our best to help you fi nd one. The music is not too diffi cult; so if you haven’t played for a while, don’t worry. We are mainly doing this for fun anyway, and don’t quite expect to sound exactly like the Chicago Philharmonic…

Please RSVP as soon as possible at GHS 436-7469, or at least by April 15 (tax day!) with the information needed below so that we may plan adequately.. If you know of someone else who plays an instrument, please share this invitation with them. We look forward to performing with you on May 9.

Information needed:Name and mailing address - Phone - What instrument(s) do you play (if more than one, indicate preference) and which of the rehearsals will you be attending.
