HOLY TACK BATMAN!New Tack Store Opens for Glenrock & You’re gonna LOVE what you see!

If you haven’t visited the new tack store located on the old highway, AV Tack, you are seriously missing out! Antelope Valley Tack was opened on August 1st by Stephanie Black-shire and is run with the

help of her family (Mom Sue and husband Gary). The store’s slogan is ‘ev-erything for the horse and rider’….and they do

A substantial power out-age hit Glenrock on Thursday, August 13th. The outage began at roughly 12:20 p.m. and affected 235 customers, mainly east of town.

According to Rocky

Mountain Power Spokes-man Jeff Hymas, the out-age was due to tree limbs that had become entan-gled in power lines. “Our serviceman had to patrol many miles of line in or-der to locate the problem. He safely cleared the tree

limbs from the lines and power was restored by 3:28 p.m.,” Hymas said.

When an outage occurs, “patrolling” the line is the first step in order to locate the source of the prob-

At Monday’s August 10th Town Council meet-ing, a packed house filled the building to voice their disgust over the August 1st tasing of 76-year-old Bud Grose by Glenrock police officers during its Deer Creek Days parade.

The incident remains under investigation, and on August 3rd, the po-lice department issued a press release stating the Wyoming Department of

Criminal Investigation (DCI) had been called in to investigate the inci-dent by Glenrock’s Police Chief Tom Sweet. The press release stated that, “. . . at this time it does not appear as any viola-tions of Glenrock Policy & Procedure was vio-lated.” The press release also noted that a “com-plete review of pertinent policies and complete internal personal investi-gation will be conducted after the DCI investiga-

tion is complete.”

To date, no charges have been filed.

Glenrock Mayor Steve Cielinski and many of the town council were quick to apologize to residents and asked for patience as the DCI completed what Cielinski called a “neutral investigation” in order to determine if any crimes were committed during

As the summer break comes to an end, the Glenrock Herder foot-ball team is preparing to kickoff its season in less than three weeks. The 3A defending state champi-ons open the season Sep-tember 4th against tough rival Kemmerer, who the Herders beat in last year in the state championship game. The game, which pits the last two 3A state champions (Kemmerer beat the Herders 22-0 in 2007) takes place in Kemmerer at 4p.m. The game should be an early season test for Herders, as the two teams combined for a 21-1 record in 2008. The Herders closed their season 11-0 last year.

The 2009 Herder squad is young and returns only two starters from last year’s champion-ship team. Senior quar-terback Kyle Farley and senior tight end Dustin Worthington are back and look to lead a team that features only seven seniors and eight juniors. Last year’s team featured 15 seniors.

Coach Ray Kumpula said the team will definitely miss the efforts of the entire backfield, which included running backs

Ryan Lee, who was the 3A state player of the year, Taylor McIntyre,

who led the league in rushing and Drew Niels-en. Each of the backs rushed for over a 1,000 yards, as McIntyre lead the way with 1,484 yards, followed by Niels-en with 1,103 yards and Lee with 1,061 yards. Lee also scored 17 touch-downs, as McIn-tyre added 15 and Nielsen 12. Impres-sively, the Herders have averaged over 4,000 yards of total offense over the last two years running the double wing of-fense, which Kum-pula plans to con-tinue implementing this year. However, the coach is quick to give much of the credit for the team’s success to his assis-tant coaches Don-ny Stewart, Justin Kidneigh, and Carl Federer.

In 2009, in addition to Farley, who threw for 394 yards, seven touchdowns and only one interception, Worthington averaged 27.43 yards per catch and scored five touchdowns. Kumpla also said the team will be counting on contributions from Se-

niors Austin Smith, Cory Dewald , junior Clint De-wald, and senior Murphy Johnston. Smith, Cory Dewald and Johnston are all seniors, while Clint Dewald is a junior. Run-ning backs Smith and Johnston, along with full-

back Cory Dewald will shore up the backfield. Last year, Smith rushed for 194 yard on 34 car-ries, while Cory Dewald averaged 3.86 yards on seven carries and John-ston averaged 3.43 yards on 14 carries.

mean everything! “…we had a store in Cali-fornia…it’s just some-thing that I’ve always wanted to do…we never had anybody that carried English (a style of riding that is completely differ-ent than Western) or ranch rope supplies where we were,” Mrs. Blackshire explains, “so we opened one up and it just went over so well that when we moved here, it was kind of the same thing--you can’t get a lot of ranch rope equipment or Eng-lish here…period...so it’s gone over so good here. Everybody, I think, is kind of excited about it.” And the business doesn’t only offer tack. “We of-fer lessons for Western and English, we do full boarding, training, what-ever you need. It’s a full service facility.” Stepha-nie stated. A V Tack has indoor and outdoor stalls; provides all food, care, and cleaning for the boarded horses (“We kind of spoil our horses here,” Blackshire admitted with a grin, “If you really love your horse, they’ll defi-nitely be well-taken care of here!”); sells hay; pro-vides local horse hauling; gives riding and jumping lessons; and gives lessons on the care and safety is-sues involved with horses just to name a few of the amenities and programs offered. It became appar-ent that safety is a top is-sue with the Blackshires, as Stephanie stated of the mandatory helmet rule, “…too many people get hurt without wearing hel-mets…if you’re under 18, you have to wear a hel-met…I’m a safety girl--I wear a helmet no matter what I ride.” Despite the amazing se-lection of programs, the tack store is completely stocked with everything from the normal tack items to hiking boots, shirts, belts, candles and stuffed animals. “We car-ry full lines of all English

and Western…we do car-ry all Billy Cook saddles, so we can get any saddle you need whether it’s cut-ting, reining, you name it!” Mrs. Blackshire said. What if a person has no horse and no equipment, but wants to learn any-way? No problem! “We do have lesson horses here, so if you don’t have a horse and you want to learn how to ride Western or English we do provide the horse,” Blackshire added. How did the Blackshires end up in Wyoming? “My husband’s always loved it here--he hunts here every year…so he said, ‘What do you think about mov-ing there?’ and I said, ‘Sure, why not?’” Black-shire explained, “We’ve always wanted to live out of California…and we love it here--I can’t imagine being anywhere else. Everybody here is so nice!” With plans to have a new building for the tack store built closer to the road, an indoor arena in place by next winter for year-round riding, and ‘prac-tice’ cattle in place next year for sorting and ranch roping, the business is off to a very good, very busy start. “Everything is go-ing good--we have board-ers coming in, people tak-ing lessons…the lessons have gone over actually very well--and the train-ing,” Stephanie said with a smile before adding, “There’s nothing we can’t get--pretty much--for the store, so if we don’t have it, we’ll get it for you!” This amazing new busi-ness is located at the top of County Line hill on Cole Shadow Road (look for the bright yellow sign) and is open Monday through Saturday from 9:00 to 5:30, though they are a bit flexible on this point. “If you drive by, and you can’t get off work early [before closing], if there’s someone here, come on by!” Stephanie stated happily, “If there is someone here, we are always open!”

the incident.

Sweet told the crowd that he would not comment until the investigation was complete or take any action, but did say that facts exist that people may not be aware of, in-cluding stating that while the focus has been on the tasering incident there were other events that preceded that and led up to that outcome. Sweet did admit that bet-

ter judgement could have been used by everyone in-volved in incident. “The problems we can fix, we will fix,” Sweet said. “But I will not take any action until we have all the facts. Everyone saw something just a little bit different.”

The majority of the crowd who addressed the council suggested the officers in-deed used excessive force when they tased Gros, who has a heart condition, during the annual event.

Cielinski promised the DCI findings would be made public, however many in the crowd who

witnessed the event ad-mitted to never being interviewed or contact-ed for an interview by the DCI. Cielinski said after the DCI report was released everything would be made trans-parent to the public.

The two officers are on paid leave while DCI continues its investiga-tion, which could be re-leased as early as Mon-day August 17th.

lem. “Once we’ve located the problem, we’re able to begin the restoration process,” Rocky Moun-tain Power Spokeswoman Margaret Oler stated. Oler confirmed tree limbs had caused the problem.

Neither Hymas or Oler could pinpoint the exact location of the line that caused the outage.

Central Wyoming Veteri-nary said they had noticed a loss of power at 1 p.m., and were told by Rocky Mountain Power that it would be restored by 3:30 p.m, and as noted earlier, power was restored at 3:28 p.m.

Hymas did point out that it is important to always contact Rocky Mountain Power if trees on a prop-erty have branches grow-ing into power lines. “Our customers should never try to remove branches that are within close prox-imity to power lines on their own, because of the potential for electrical contact that could result in serious injury or even death.” Instead, Hymas recommended calling the Rocky Mountain Power toll free customer service line at 888-221-7070. Additionally, Hymas said it is important when planting trees to avoid potential conflicts with power lines that could re-sult in unsafe conditions. Tall-growing trees or oth-er vegetation should not be planted directly under power lines or in areas where they could end up eventually growing into lines. Information about the ideal species of trees to plant near areas where power lines are located can be found at: rockymountainpower.net.

Open Container Permit

At the August 10th town council meeting, council members voted unani-mously in approving an open container permit for the Centennial Ball, which will be held at the Hotel Higgins and Paisley Shawl, which at one time served as a ball room.

Community Develop-ment Director Kathy Pat-ceg said the permit would allow people attending the event to walk outside and around the hotel or into Kimball Park with an alcoholic beverage. However, Patceg added that it does not mean vendors will be selling alcohol at or around the ball. The Highlander Pub will however be serving liquor.

“It means people can walk outside with a drink or go into the park,” Pat-ceg said. “If someone has a drink and they’re hot from dancing or whatev-er, they can walk outside with their drink.”

The Centennial Ball is yet another event marking Glenrock’s 100th year of existence. “The Centen-nial Ball was something we decided to do as a 100 Year Committee,” Pat-ceg said. “We thought it would be fun for people to dress up as they did in 1909 and come and dance to the music that was played back then and it would just be a fun event. Patceg added that it isn’t necessary for people at-tending to dress histori-cally as they did in 1909.

Patceg also said 5th Street from Birch to As-pen Streets would be bar-ricaded in an effort to cre-ate a safer environment to allow children and adults to enjoy the event outside as well as in.

There will be no food served at the event but people are free to pur-chase their own drinks.

Casper’s Swing Sounds Dance Band will be providing the musical entertainment for the evening. Swing Sounds is a 6-piece dance band featuring western swing, pop and jazz standards, traditional country and 50’s rock ‘n’ roll

The event takes place August 22nd from 7 to 11 p.m. and there is no charge.

On Wednesday, August 5th, a small group of peo-ple entered an empty lease

space in the Commerce Block and set about the task at hand. What was the task at hand?….Were they up to no good?…..Not at all! For this group of students were heading to class--dance class with Kathy Patceg and Rita Re-tig! Six people, plus three in-structors, plus two mem-bers of the press showed up for the first of two dance lessons being held before the Centennial Ball in order to familiarize people with some of the ‘old-time’ dances that will be played there. As the lessons began, it became apparent that there would be an uneven number of dancers. Since the dances being taught require a part-ner, The Glenrock Bird’s

own Jessica Smith stepped in to fill the spot and learn the dances as well.

Instructors Kathy and Mark Patceg, and Rita Re-tig taught the group three different dances: Put Your Little Foot, The Patty Cake Polka, and The Virginia Reel. Everyone had an abundance of fun as they swirled and stepped their way around the floor! “I thought it went just wonderful!” Kathy Patceg said of the lesson, followed by her husband Mark, who complemented the dancers by saying, “These guys are naturals!” The following week, on Wednesday, August 12th, the same group of people (mostly) came together again, and under the tute-lage of Rita Retig, learned a ‘simple’ square dance and were then taught a

waltz by Kathy Patceg and her husband Mark after reviewing the pre-

vious week’s material. If you missed these op-portunities to learn the dances, don’t worry! Come join the fun any-way at the Centennial Ball which will be held on Saturday, August 22nd, where you will get to see the fancy footwork of the students of the ‘House of Patceg and Retig’. The dance steps are easy to pick up and before you know it, you’ll be whirling the night away! The Centennial Ball is free of charge and al-though ‘period’ cloth-ing is requested, it is certainly not required. Come join us and have a ‘ball’!

S T A Y S A F E T H I S S U M M E RPlease enjoy our Wyoming summers, but remember, your safety starts with you. With the cool, relatively speaking, mornings and eve-nings people of all ages love to ride bicycles and walk. The scenery is beautiful and the wildlife is abundant for your enjoyment. However, it is incumbent on the walker or cycler to: 1. Be observant of their sur-roundings, including people

and vehicles.2. Carry some sort of per-sonal protection, especially if you are by yourself.3. Carry a cell phone where it is readily accessible and be able to give a clear and fairly concise description of where you are and what the problem may be, should you have to call for assistance.4. If possible, tell others where you are going and when you plan to return. If

you are delayed, call some-one other than the police and let them know so that they do not become concerned.5. If possible, walk or bike with a friend. So, enjoy the cool evenings and mornings, but don't for-get to stay safe.

“We have a lot of spaces to fill,” Kumpula said. “We’re going to be young. We’re going to have a bull’s eye on our chest because we haven’t lost a conference game in three years so people are circling us. Our big-gest key is can we fill the slots.”

The team is also changing classifications this year, going from 3A to 2A and adding three teams to the newly formed 2A East

Conference. Joining the Herders are the Big Horn Rams, the Burns Broncs and the Tongue River Ea-gles. Kumpula said Burns is the defending 2A state champions, while Tongue River rejoins the league after a two year absence from the conference. Big Horn is also new to the conference. “It’s going to be different for us, Kum-pula said. “We’re playing seven conference games and only one non confer-ence game.”

Kumpula said Burns and Big Horn are two teams to watch out for in 2009. “In our conference, ob-viously Burns comes in

with an 11-0 season be-hind them and are pretty well loaded again. Big Horn, they’ve had a lot of success over the last few years. And there’s a lot of new coaches. Thermopo-lis has a new coach, as does Newcastle.”

Kumpula added that this year’s key strength as a team is the Herder tradi-tion and reputation that has been built, while its biggest weakness will most likely be youth, inexperience and not a whole lot of speed. “It’s nice to bring back a quar-terback though,” Kum-pula said. “But it’s going to be tough.”

LETTER FROM THE

BIRDTo the Community of Glenrock,

As the Director of Op-erations for The Glenrock Bird I would like to thank you for your continued support of your commu-nity newspaper. I have received numerous phone calls and messages from members of the commu-nity concerned about the future of the newspaper. In an effort to keep the advertising rates reason-able and the subscription rates affordable we have decided to sell the build-ing that we are currently in, I imagine that this has raised those concerns.

The community of Glen-rock has been great to the “Bird” and has helped us become the strong and thriving newspaper that we are. Recently we have made some busi-ness choices that we feel will help us to be of better service to the community.

You probably have seen several of these changes in your weekly paper.

The changes that we have implemented have drawn the attention of some larg-er publishing companies interested in purchasing the Glenrock Bird.

Amanda, the Staff and I both agree that this com-munity is best served by a newspaper that is based in Glenrock, published by Glenrock residents, and owned by members of this community. We feel that selling this news-paper to an out of town company would betray the very community that has supported us through the years.

Amanda, myself and the entire staff of The Glen-rock Bird will continue to serve you, the community of Glenrock.

Sincerely, Chris Aspinall

Genuine cowboys, in my opinion, have a more gracious attitude toward forgiving their neighbors. Perhaps it comes from a genuine connection with the real aspects of nature. The land can be an unfor-giving force, and in an en-vironment of uncertainty the cowboy learns to rely on those around him for acceptance and kindness. In great contrast to the dog-eat-dog corporate world of today cowboys help their neighbors in time of need and are there to lend a hand when need-ed. I’m uncertain as to whether Shell Oil would rally around Conoco if they suffered in today’s

market. From what I can tell it’s more of a feeding frenzy when a business starts to flounder.

Forgiveness is something I struggle with. I think the old adage Forgive and Forget is impractical and nearly impossible. To forgive is never effortless and to forget would in-volve some sort of brain surgery. It’s not always easy to forgive but it cer-tainly takes more effort and energy to harbor a grudge. To forgive your enemies even though you remember is truly the cowboy way. It also has an added bonus of mes-sin’ with their heads!

Forgive Your Enemies

THANK YOU FELLOW GLEN-DUCKIANS!

OUR DELIGHT

Truly, our delight is in Je-sus! “Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thineheart.” Psalm 37: 4

Psalm 37 provides cures for the fretting; (anger) that comes in a spiritual battle. When we trust the Lordto give us what we need, is

it any wonder that he who knows all and owns all, will give us the desires of our hearts?

The delight that we have in the work and ministry of the Lord is the key to His answering our “effectualfervent prayer”. James 5:16.

Simply stated, a human heart that is aligned with the beat of the Divine heart will receive God’s answers. Jesus said, “How much more shall your Fa-ther which is in Heaven

give good things to them that ask him?” Matthew 7:11.

This beautiful promise and command insists that we luxuriate in our Savior. He is the Lord of riches, Phil. 4:19 and His power is at work in his children. Ephe-sians 3:20. If we long for the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness, why should we marvel when the King of Kings grants our desires?

God’s merciful, richest, blessings on all.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), Chairman of the Senate Western Cau-cus, is standing up for Wyoming agriculture and speaking out against the Administration’s job-kill-ing Cap-and-Tax plan.

“Meat and vegetables don’t magically ap-pear in grocery aisles. Wyoming’s farmers and ranchers work hard to help feed America. Dur-ing these tough economic times, we need to ensure we don’t lose Wyoming agriculture.”

Barrasso’s comments came during a hearing by the Senate Western Cau-cus. Barrasso outlined the consequences for Western Agriculture if the “Wax-man-Markley bill,” also known as the “Cap-and-Tax bill” passes in the Senate. The U.S. House of Representatives passed the bill in early July.

“Cap-and-Tax would only deal another blow to our farmers and ranchers dur-ing this recession,” Bar-

rasso said.

“Farming and ranching are energy-inten-sive business-es. Energy costs work into every de-tail of Ameri-can farmers’ lives. Farmers use fuel for tractors and combines, re-quire natural gas to make fertilizer, and farm equip-ment uses energy for irri-gation pumps and drying grain before storing it.”

The Executive Vice Presi-dent of the Wyoming Stock Growers Asso-ciation, Jim Magagna of Rock Springs, testified at the hearing.

“Agriculture producers face tough markets in to-day’s economic climate. Implementing a policy that would increase en-ergy and input costs dur-ing these tough times will be harmful to farms and

ranches across the West,” Magagna said.

“This bill will particularly impact our young pro-ducers -- those who rep-resent a bright future for American agriculture,” Magagna said.

“If agriculture declines, so do our western communi-ties,” Barrasso said. “Pol-icies that harm agriculture lead to a loss of jobs and a loss of a culture and way of life.”

LANDER – The Wyo-ming Game and Fish Department is pleading for information about a doe mule deer illegally shot and left somewhere between 7:00 pm August 6th and 8:00 am August 7th northwest of River-ton along the North Por-tal Road. Game Warden Brad Gibb reports the doe was illegally shot and left to waste and likely had at least one fawn that may not be able to survive without the doe. Gibb also reported other sus-picious activity in the area possibly including other injured wildlife.

For killing a doe deer out of season and leaving it to waste, the violator would likely face one of Wyo-ming’s toughest wildlife-related charges, wanton destruction of a big game animal. The penalties could include a fine, up to $4,000 restitution, jail sentence and suspension of hunting/fishing license privileges in Wyoming and the 30 other mem-ber states in the Interstate Wildlife Violator Com-pact. Due to the proxim-ity of homes near this crime, the violators could also face charges of reck-less endangerment. “With this being such a

recent crime, our hope is that someone may re-call something from their travel through that area late on the 6th or early on the 7th,” Gibb said. “If the violator or violators come forward, that could be taken into account in the number of charges filed and severity of the sentence requested.” Anyone with informa-tion, even second hand, may be eligible for a cash reward if the information leads to a conviction and callers can remain anony-mous. Report informa-tion to the Stop Poaching Hotline at (877) WGFD-TIP (877-943-3847), the

Riverton Game Warden at (307) 856-9005, or to the Lander Game and Fish Office at (307) 322-2688, can also report on line at ht tp: / /gf .s ta te .wy.us/wildlife/enforcement/stoppoaching/submitTip.aspx. Even close acquain-tances to the violator or violators who are dis-turbed about the crimes can call without being revealed.

The 2009 Deer Creek Day’s Annual Horse Sale was once considered by all who attended, a first-rate success. The event, which took place July 31st, kicked off at the Central Wyoming Live-stock where perspective equestrians and buyers got the chance to pre-view that evening’s sale.

It was estimated the sale brought in roughly 250

people to town. Overall, the sale registered 110 buyers, most of whom were from Wyoming. The sellers on the other hand came from Texas, California, Colora-do, Montana, Kansas, Ne-braska and Wyoming.

According to Poppy Se-mons, one the event’s orga-nizers, the sale’s attendees thoroughly enjoyed them-selves and brought a great deal of business to Glen-

rock. “We booked rooms at the Higgins, Mabuhi, and The All American,” Se-mons said. “All rooms were booked full both Thursday and Friday nights. And our sellers ate out at the Fort and the Aces both Thurs-day and Friday nights and also at The Four Aces for both breakfast and lunch on Friday and Saturday. They really enjoyed the weekend and they all said they would be back.”
