A dog is man’s best friend, or so it is often said; a welcome addition to any family if loved, trained, and treated right.
Kids love them, and most men and sometimes women, swear by them; nothing and no one can be more loving or loyal than their dog, a piece of their family and a special place in their heart, they say.
It is with this happy sentiment that the Glenrock Police Department welcomes the newest addition to their family, Officer Yara. Born and raised in Belgium, Europe, 2-year-old Yara, a Belgian Ma-linois, immigrated to the United States to fulfill her destiny as a police officer’s best friend and narcotics cop dog.

Susan Sherwood sells more than just peaches and produce when she pulls her trailer into Gil-lette early on Fridays.
“We don’t sell food, we feed people,” said the Glenrock native.
Each week, Sherwood and her family (her mother, sister, nieces and nephews and, some-times, her brothers) drive to Grand Junction, Colorado, from their home in Glenrock to visit four orchards to pack a trailer full of fresh fruit and vegetables to sell in four towns across Wyo-ming: Casper, Glenrock, Douglas and Gillette.
“You just can’t get this fresh of produce (in Wyoming) unless people bring it,” she said. “We are selling on Friday what was picked on Thursday.”

then, of course, you have loyalty like the way she is with her handler. She owns him, he doesn’t own her and she has to demonstrate that kind of bond. Otherwise, it’s not going to be conducive for law enforcement,” Hurd said.
Once Yara had consistently demonstrated her drive in Europe, she was then brought to the states and tested again by Jack Robicheaux, owner of K-9 Concepts in Broussard, Louisiana. “[He] is prob-ably one of the best canine instructors in the country if not, the best,” Hurd said.
Yara’s handler, Officer Steele, was hand chosen by Hurd and went to Louisiana for two weeks to train with her, as well. “It takes a special person to be a handler. You have to have patience with the canine. You have to have patience with the public. You can not take chances,” Hurd explained.
Given over to the care of Steele, Yara has quickly become a member of his own family, as well. “She’s living at my house and she’s already gotten to know my kids, and loves them, so she’s doing a great job,” Steele said. “I have four children and the first thing she wants to do in the morning is see the kids, and the first thing the kids want to do in the morning is see her.”
Although Steele and Yara have only been to-gether since the end of July, she is already express-ing her loyalty to him in the way she stays by his side and sits calmly by his feet, with the exception of when she gets up to greet other officers when they walk into the room. Despite her gentle nature, she has a broad spectrum of training and work discipline that will assist the police department in their efforts to continue to fight crime and keep the community safe.
For example, she is certified by the National
Police Canine Association (NPA) in her ability to sniff out the presence of marijuana, cocaine and methamphetamine, Hurd explained. “These three disciplines are very difficult to obtain,” he said. “Yara is a tool now and so is officer Steele.”
Canines are also a useful tool to obtain search warrants and help detail suspects, who think it’s a good idea to flee.
“There’s a canine team and that’s a tool to help us rid the community of drugs, which in turn, is going to keep the community safer, and it’s going to keep the kids safer, and that’s what we’re here for,” he said. “That’s what we try to teach and Yara is a big part of that. The public’s trust in the police department is paramount, and this assists in that when they see that we are trying to make their life better, make it a better place to live and achieve their children a better place to live,” Hurd said.
Yara will begin her official introduction into the community when she goes to visit the schools. “I think it’s going to be an excellent program for the kids. If there are drugs in schools, you want to keep schools zones drug-free,” Hurd said. “This way, it lets the children know, especially when they get to the age when they want to experiment with drugs, that we have the ability to find them if they have drugs in the school, and we are going to do every-thing we can to keep it a drug-free community.”
Every child will have a chance to meet and pet Yara, so they can see that not only are police friend-ly, Hurd adds, but “police dogs are just as friendly. That’s why we went with her disposition. She has a wonderful disposition,” he said. Yara will also be introduced to the community at Safe Kids Day on Sept. 10, where she will not only demonstrate her friendly demeanor but her police skills, as well.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE WYOMING CONSTITUTION TO BE VOTED ON AT THE GENERAL ELECTION NOV. 8, 2016Underlined words would be added to existing law. Words stricken through will be removed.
Currently, the Wyoming Constitution allows the legislature to authorize the investment of public employee retirement systems funds and permanent state funds in equities, such as stock or shares in private or public companies. Permanent funds of the state include funds designated as permanent funds by the Constitution. The Wyoming Constitution does not allow the state to invest any other funds in equities. The adoption of this amendment would allow the legislature, by two-thirds vote of the members of both houses, to authorize the investment of additional specifi ed state funds in equities.
Article 16, Section 6. Loan of credit; donations prohibited; works of internal improvement.
(a) Neither the state nor any county, city, township, town, school district, or any other political subdivision, shall:
(i) Loan or give its credit or make donations to or in aid of any individual, association or corporation, except for necessary support of the poor; , nor or
(ii) Subscribe to or become the owner of the capital stock of any association or corporation, except that:
(A) Funds of public employee retirement systems and the permanent funds of the state of Wyoming may be invested in such stock under conditions the legislature prescribes;.
(B) The legislature may provide by law for the investment of funds not designated as permanent funds of the state in the capital stock of any association or corporation and may designate which of these funds may be invested. The legislature may prescribe diff erent investment conditions for each fund. Any legislation establishing or increasing the percentage of any fund that may be invested under this subparagraph shall be passed only by a two-thirds (2/3) vote of all the members of each of the two (2) houses voting separately. (b) The state shall not engage in any work of internal improvement unless authorized by a two-thirds (2/3) vote of the people.

The growth of solar- and wind-related jobs could easily absorb coal-industry layoffs over the next 15 years and provide full-time careers, if investments are made to retrain workers. That’s according to a new study by researchers at the Univer-sity of Oregon and the Michigan Technological University.
Edward Louie, the report’s co-author and a researcher at Oregon State University, said be-tween solar and wind, Wyoming is in a good position to become
more energy independent and a leading exporter of renewable power.
“To transport the wind blades, to install the wind turbines, and then also all the jobs it would take to upgrade the transmission lines to handle that high percent of renewables, then there’s more than enough positions,” he said.
Louie noted coal jobs have become increasingly at risk because of falling natural-gas prices and new EPA rules tar-geting coal-fired power plants to limit climate pollution. He said if the U.S. goes completely renewable, some 6,500 workers
in Wyoming, and 75,000 nation-ally, will need to find new jobs.
The solar industry already employs more than 200,000 peo-ple and is creating jobs 12 times faster than the overall economy, according to the study, which also determined closest equiva-lent solar positions and salaries. Louie said a coal operations en-gineer, for example, could retrain to be a manufacturing technician in solar and expect about a ten percent salary increase.
“Obviously there are some jobs that are very specific to coal mining, and those workers will probably need some retraining
to find a job in the renewable-energy industry,” he added.
The study also found that a coal CEO’s annual salary would be more than enough to retrain every company employee for a job in renewables. Louie added other possible funding sources include federal and state dollars, and he said coal workers also could choose to pay for training themselves.

Council right to vote against rec center
TO THE EDITOR:I am writing in response to your editorial
regarding the Douglas and Glenrock Recreation Center proposal which was published in the Douglas Budget on 08.15.2016.
The economic diversification argument you made in support of the proposal is misguided and uninformed. Economic Diversification is the practice of enlarging or varying a range of prod-ucts or services that produce a revenue stream in a way that minimizes risk and maximizes return for the economy those products and services contribute to. Assuming use of the Douglas recre-ation center would be at a nominal fee to Douglas residents and use of the Glenrock recreation center would remain free to Glenrock residents, neither would produce a meaningful revenue stream. In fact, the proposal would maximize financial risk by incurring an $80 million debt and would require additional subsidization by the City of Douglas and Converse County. This additional city and county subsidization places other government services at risk for cut backs.
I’m further appalled at the impudent asser-tions you made against the brave councilmen of Douglas who voted against allowing the proposal onto the November ballot. The citizens of Con-verse County voted against the recreation center proposal and the councilmen were principled and appropriate in upholding the decision previously reached by the voters. Further, a poll featured on the Douglas Budget website suggests that voters would again vote against the recreation center proposal. The insults you leveled at the Douglas City councilmen for representing the will of the people are shameful.
You may not recall, but the recreation center proposal stemmed from an argument that the current recreation center, which is located in the high school, exposes our children to the risk of a school shooting. The safety argument becomes truly laughable when you consider that the new recreation center, which will be used by children and families, will be in close proximity to the jail. If the recreation center director is unable to collaborate with school officials to implement safety measures for the protection of recreation center patrons and our high school students, particularly when the recreation center is only operational outside of school hours, the logical solution would be to seek out a director who can.
Diversifying the local economy means attract-ing businesses that produce products or services not already found in the Douglas/Glenrock areas which would in turn create jobs, a revenue stream, and stimulate the economy. The economy would be better stimulated and “diversified” by citizens purchasing a membership at a privately owned gym. Government is not intended to, nor is it successful in creating businesses or jobs. The business park (which you also expressed support for) is an example of the disastrous outcome of government involvement in business and job creation.
Sincerely,Val Marshall,
Douglas
Renewables may be state’s salvation
S ome in the Wyoming Legislature are pushing hard to tax wind genera-tion and production, in addition to taxing the towers and generators themselves as we already do. That’s a bad move, not because the state doesn’t need the revenue from taxing renewable but because by taxing them, we may never see the development of those industries here. They will go elsewhere, to states which welcome them rather
than try to crush them.Those who believe coal remains our future and we should do whatever we can to
preserve the industry often contend wind is the enemy in this battle, and therefore we should tax it to keep it at bay.
Wyoming doesn’t live in a vacuum. We are miniscule part of a national en-ergy market that is a piece of a global one. In reality, renewables like wind and solar are not the enemy of coal. They are the complement to it. They are not the replacement for coal to generate electric-ity, but they are likely to play a larger and larger role.
Coal’s problems are multi-faceted, from low natural gas prices causing power plants to retrofit away from coal to federal regulations designed to strangle its final breath to coal corporations handsomely rewarding its top executives while cutting jobs and filing bankruptcy to a smaller and smaller piece of the energy pie because of renewables. The coal industry in Wyoming is resilient and is not likely to go away any time soon.
A recent study by researchers at the University of Oregon and the Michigan Technological University point out that Wyoming is in a good position to take advantage of the renewable industry’s growth to replace the jobs lost in the min-ing sectors during the next 15 years. The state should be encouraging that industry here because with jobs comes more tax revenue for the state.
Wyoming News Service reported this on Tuesday: “Edward Louie, the report’s co-author and a researcher at Oregon State University, said between solar and wind, Wyoming is in a good position to become more energy independent and a leading exporter of renewable power . . . if the U.S. goes completely renewable, some 6,500 workers in Wyoming, and 75,000 nationally, will need to find new jobs.
“The solar industry already employs more than 200,000 people and is creating jobs 12 times faster than the overall economy, according to the study . . . Louie said a coal operations engineer, for example, could retrain to be a manufacturing technician in solar and expect about a ten percent salary increase.”
If Wyoming were to court the renewable industry, then the cries for diversifica-tion we hear every time the energy sector drops would be one step closer to being heard and answered.

Has life ever thrown you a curve ball? Something happens that you would never have expected. I guess that’s the whole point of call-ing the “unexpected” a curve ball . . . huh? It may very well be that it is not the curve ball itself that surprises us, but it is the disappoint-ment from our expectations not being fulfilled.
I’m very good at reminding others to go with the flow and to live in the now. But, I will just as quickly admit doing so is easier said than done. Everyone at one time or another (and most of us repeatedly throughout our life time) will allow their expectations to interfere with the joy a natural flow offers.
Planned events always
have a certain amount of expectation. For example, let’s say that you invited 50 people to your backyard barbecue. You had optimisti-cally expected 30 or more people to attend. However, only a handful of guests arrive. You feel disappointed, your expectations of hosting a big gathering are dashed.
But, after you recover from your initial dis-appointment, what is your knee-jerk reaction? Do you fret about the people who didn’t come or complain about the leftovers that you’ll be eating? Or, would you shrug it off, relax, and enjoy the company of the guests who did come? You could look at this as a grand opportunity to be less concerned with entertaining and ap-preciate spending some quality time with a few select individuals.
In general, our expectations come from our past experiences. I believe it is really helpful to remain optimistic with our expectations.
Rather than being optimistic or pessimistic in regard to your expectations, why not drop all expectations?
I’ve tried, with limited success, to withhold expectations concerning upcoming events or circumstance. Walking into a situation without any expectation would likely be a better ap-proach to take. But, good luck with that! Being without expectations or preconceived notions would likely be more difficult than living a life without judgments or opinions. Our dreams, desires, and needs get in the way. We naturally have expectations. We want to be in control of our lives. We want to be offered that perfect job. We want our family to support us. We want to be desirable to our partners. We want to be treated fairly. We want, we want, we want, and we want . . . of course we do.
Sometimes there is a greater plan in play. We don’t always get what we want, but we always get what is right for us.
The curve ball coming our way requires us to duck or dodge, altering our game plan. The rules have changed, our expectations altered once again. We get to see things differently. Some-times the alternate path offered is a difficult one. Keep your eyes open, there are gems to be found along the challenging and rocky pathways. Re-member, your party with fewer guests allowed you to have more intimate conversations, and likely deepened your relationships with those individuals.
Life is good when you let it flow naturally. Expect to get sucked into the river of life with-out a paddle occasionally, and maybe even get tossed out of the canoe.
Learn to swim and go with the flow.
Curve ball: duck or dodge?
Wyoming is in a good position to take advantage of the renewable industry’s growth to replace jobs lost in the mining sectors during the next 15 years.

Ron was a funny, principled man who loved his two daughters, son-in-law, grandchildren and Capsa dog, Lex. He had lasting friendships with people from his hometown of Glenrock, Wyoming, to Australia where he spent two years teaching and lecturing on the environment and zero population growth. He taught biology at West High. After retirement, he enjoyed coaching girls’ softball. He was always gratified when his students or players became successful citizens in all walks of life, and remembered his small contribution to their educations. His concern for the environment was paramount. He supported many environmental causes and dedicated hours of volunteer time to the Northern
Plains Resource Council. We will miss his cooking, laughter, jokes and courage, but will remember his love forever.Per his wishes, no services are planned. Arrangements are by Cremation & Funeral Gallery. Condolences can be sent throughwww.cfgbillings.com through “Our Families.”

last season bring the baby the fol-lowing season.
“My customers are also friends,” Sherwood said. “People in Gillette bring me a lot of joy.”
She may only be in Gillette a few days a week every summer, but she sure feels like a part of the community.
“I’m always exhausted by the time I roll into Gillette, but I pull into the parking lot and see people that I’ve hired and then set up and the first customer arrives and it’s like family. I get so excited,” she said.
It was important to Sherwood in running the business that the money stayed in the community. She hired help from Gillette and continues to hire more as the business booms. Plus, she gives extra produce to the Soup Kitchen. Nothing goes outside the state, except for the original money for the produce.
“We are not just a seller, but part of the community,” she said.
Like everyone and every busi-ness, Wyoming’s downturn also has affected her. But she doesn’t care so much about the money.
“Some customers have lost jobs, but we got through the ups and downs with everyone. We all help each other all of the time, because everyone needs support some of the time,” she said.
Her customers have helped her through wind storms, helped set up the tent and supported her family over the years, so a supportive ear or a free peach is nothing.
“We feed people on plates and in hearts,” she said.
Which is why her favorite mot-to is: Home of the happy mouth.
Between the people and the peaches, Sherwood doesn’t be-lieve it could get much better.
“You just take one look at those peaches and think, ‘How could I live without them’?” she laughed.
Which is exactly how the whole business began.
“When my mom was a little girl, her father worked in Grand Junction and they would eat Pali-sade peaches,” she explained.
The memory and taste of those Palisade peaches stayed with her all those years and even when she
started her own family.So when a truck carrying Pali-
sade peaches arrived in town at the bowling alley in Casper, her mother bought a box and shared it with everyone she knew. Just like her, they fell in love with the taste of these specific peaches and begged for more.
Little did they know the seed was already planted. Pat sug-gested the possibility of selling the peaches as a side hobby to their real jobs. Then they bought a trailer and began going to Grand Junction to pick up the peaches everyone had fallen in love with.
Originally, they delivered the fruit to the Casper bowling alley and sold their own in Glenrock and Douglas. They weren’t interested in competing with another local business.
That was 18 years ago.Eventually, when the bowling
alley no longer sold peaches, they took over the Casper market and, later, Gillette.
Sherwood continues to be very proud of what they sell
“These are small farmers, not big ones,” she said.
They have been buying from one Grand Junction farmer for years. They call him the “fruit whisperer,” because his peaches are the best around. But they also visit three more to round out the supply of fruits and vegetables.
All the produce is fresh and delicious, but it started because of peaches, so they are near and dear to her heart.
“Georgia peaches taste great, but only in Georgia,” Sherwood said. “These peaches ripen on the trees and are put right into a box into the orchard.”
Then they’re loaded into her truck.
When she gets there each week, she is never quite sure which kind of peach she is going to get. There are New Havens, Globes and O’Henry’s.
“It’s like Christmas when you open the lid to see all these beauti-ful peaches in the box,” she said.
She often explains to her cus-tomers the importance, and the difference, of leaving the fruit on the tree to ripen.
“The longer the fruit is on the tree, the more sugar is in the fruit, which means the more flavor. At the grocery store, they are picked much more green and left to ripen in the truck,” she said.
There are more than 2,000 vari-eties of peaches and Pat’s Peaches and Produce sells about eight.
Each summer in August and September, she watches the peach-es change from one kind to anoth-er, each with different flavor and different size. But when she gets those boxes of the O’Henry’s, she knows what’s coming. The end.
O’Henry’s are the last of the peaches they sell to ripen. Ironi-cally, compared to the others, they have the longerst shelf life, too. But those globes of yellow, orange and red signal to the Glenrock teacher the winding down of the summer, the growth and the start of the school year.
“By the end, I get sick of peaches,” she said. “But then you see the first fresh peach (in sum-mer) and you just can’t wait.”
Peaches From the Front Page
From the kitchen of Pat Sherwood of Pat’s Peaches and Produce, Glenrock.
Prep time: 15 minutesCook time: 65 minutes(This very forgiving recipe can
be adjusted many ways to suit diet and preferences.)
1 box white or yellow cake mixAbout 8 frozen, whole peaches,
skinned and sliced¾ stick butter, melted¾ cup brown sugar¼ cup butter, cut into thin pats1 cup pecan halves or pieces
(optional)Remove peaches from freezer,
set on counter to thaw slightly while preparing other ingredients.
Pour melted butter and sprinkle brown sugar on bottom of cake pan. Slip the skins off peaches and slice onto pan bottom (allowing peach juice to fall into pan), then top with dry cake mix. Dot the top with butter pats. Add pecans, if desired.
Bake at 325 degrees for 60-70 minutes. If necessary, cover with foil near the end to prevent over-browning. Best served warm, perhaps with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
There were no changes and/or recounts to the re-sults from Aug. 16, according to Converse County Clerk Lucile Taylor.
The only two qualified write-ins at the election were William White and Laura Terrier for the Roll-ing Hills Town Council’s four-year term.
Taylor said there were no qualified write-ins for the Rolling Hills Town Council’s two-year unex-
pired term.White and Terriere have been notified that in or-
der to accept the nomination to appear on the general election ballot, they have to complete a nomination form with the town clerk and pay the $25 filing fee.
The threshold for write-ins in a municipal elec-tion requires a minimum of three votes, along with residency in that municipality.
Only qualified write-ins are for Rolling Hills council

Studying Insects Did you know that insects make up 75% of all animals on earth? Scientists, calledentomologists, who study insects have documented over a million different species of insects. They learn how insects interact with the world around them. These scientists study pests and helpful insects. They teach us about these tiny creatures.

What are Public Notices? What do you need to know about your community?
Public notices tell you.
A little notice can mean a lot.
If you haven’t looked at your newspaper’s public notice section lately, here are a few things you may have missed:
PUBLIC NOTICES ALERT YOU when the interests of your family, your neighborhood or your business are affected by what
others do. Public notices invite you to participate in the democratic process
and in business opportunities.

A week after being crowned state champions in the “way-too-early” prediction of the season by wyoming-
football.com, the Herders are also get-ting some love from the state’s media.
Ray Kumpula’s Herders were vot-ed the No. 1 team in the 2A Confer-ence last week in the wyopreps.com preseason media poll.
“(The) 2A could be the most un-predictable class, because they (have) many teams that have potential,” Wy-oPreps stated. “The question is, which team will make up the most for what
they lost to graduation? The voters give the No. 1 nod to Glenrock.”
The Herders received five first-place votes, tied with Greybull, who landed in second place on the list. Glenrock also grabbed four second-place votes and a pair of third-place

picked in the top spot in the 2A Conference WyoPreps.com media poll last
Wright may have dominated the 2A volleyball courts over the last couple years with state titles in 2014 and 2015.
All that did was put a target on their backs. Glenrock is the new sharpshooter.
The Lady Herders jumped from the 3A to 2A con-ference this year and are pushing hard to establish themselves early.
The Herders will get to face off against the Panthers this weekend at the Douglas Invitational in an early season test of skill during pool play.
The Herders are bringing out five seniors and four returning starters to their lineup, but, with only 23 players for all three teams, Glenrock’s bench is short this year.
Alison Berge, Faith Sabesta and Alexus Taylor will be returning as starting seniors, and sophomore Morgan Schwindt make up the four re-turning varsity starters.
Coach Tara Chandler is impressed with the team so far after just two
weeks of practices.“These girls are showing great attitude and work ethic, which should
add up to a great season,” she said. With so many experienced players returning to the varsity court,
Chandler is impressed with how they are helping the less experienced girls become better players and a more cohesive team.
Chandler is also pleased with moving to the 2A conference, which she hopes will give the team a chance for equal play.
“I think it’s great. It levels the playing field a little more. I don’t think we are going to walk in and dominate, but we are playing schools the same size and not playing against huge schools with lots of girls to draw from,” Chandler said.
Moving to a new conference, though, adds a level of complexity as the team and coaches have to learn how a new lineup of rivals play and

tallies.Defending state champion Wheatland was
picked No. 3, followed by the Big Horn Rams and the Mountain View Buffalos in the poll.
Greybull went 8-2 overall last season and posted a 5-1 mark in conference play.
“Last year’s state runner-ups bring back a history of success,” WyoPreps says of Glenrock. “Greybull didn’t lose much to gradu-ation, and the Buffalos are ranked at No. 2, not far behind the Herders.”
Glenrock (8-3, 5-1) fell to Wheatland 22-8 in the state title game at War Memorial Stadium in Laramie last fall.
Pine Bluffs and Torrington will travel to Glenrock for a zero-week contest at 5 p.m. Fri-day. The Herders open the regular season Sept. 2 When Mitch Espeland’s Pinedale Wranglers pay a visit to western Converse County.
Greybull will open the regular season at home against regional rival Thermopolis before traveling to Kemmerer in week two.

compete.“I am excited (to go to 2A). It gives us a
chance to come in on an even basis, and like all big changes it will be challenging and excit-ing,” Chandler said.
The first round of play for the spikers will be at the Douglas Invitational this weekend. It will be a test of what they are bringing back from last year.
And with a new conference, comes a new hope of a successful season.
With high school sports every year can be a new and exciting adventure, she adds, but that doesn’t seem to be fazing these girls as they get a chance to lead the team against a new set of opponents.
“It’s been a fun two weeks of practice and we are looking forward to playing,” Chandler said.
