RAMS is a 100% volunteer organization that is committed to the Glenrock, Converse County community. 100% of all fundrasising proceeds are reinvested back into the community strictly for the benefit of the community. In 2011 RAMS of Glenrock voted in to make their next major contribution to the community and businesses of Glenrock to be some form of I-25 exposure. RAMS will be hosting fundraisers to raise funds for a bill board on I-25 in hopes of attacting drivers to come into the community and experience all that Glenrock WY has to offer. Glenrock is rich in history. The Oregon, Bozeman, Texas and California Trails all came together along Deer Creek and the Platte River. The Deer Creek Museum is the

perfect place to relive the beginnings of the town. The Paleon Museum welcomes visitors to experience the time before man when Glenrock area was inhabited by a different form of life. The dinosaurs roamed throughout the region during the Jurassic and Cretaceous Periods. The prehistory that exists can be seen at the Paleon Museum. The bones that are on display came from the Kola Quarry north of Glenrock, the Como Bluffs Quarry near Medicine Bow and from a private ranch near Lusk. Besides history Glenrock offers Fine Dining, Unique shopping, Golf Course and is host to the Annual Fire & Ice, Art In The Park, The Yak About Festival & the Fall Fest/Hunters BBQ.

RAMS started community Meet N Greets in 2011. Meet N Greets are hosted by RAMS business members, open to the public, and held on the 3rd Thursday of every other month beginning in February.

If Greg Biffle keeps doing what he's doing, he will win the Sprint Cup champion-ship.

Don't get carried away. Biffle isn't going to finish third in 36 consecutive races. It's pretty amazing that he's done so in the three races held so far.

Biffle, 42, failed to make the Chase last year after finishing seventh or better in each of the three pre-vious years. His best showing to date was a runner-up finish in 2005.

He's actually a little sheepish about failing to win yet.

"We're super-excited about it (three straight thirds), but there again, we want to win like (Tony Stewart, at Las Vegas Motor Speedway), so we're going to keep our heads down and keep working hard," Biffle said.

Biffle, from Vancouver, Wash., has been successful in each of NASCAR's three national touring series. He was the top rookie in Trucks in 1998 and champion in 2000. He earned rookie honors in (now) Nationwide in 2001 and the title in 2002.

Six of Biffle's 16 Cup victories occurred in 2005,

Biffle's Destinywhen he finished second (by tie-breaker with team-mate Carl Edwards) to Tony Stewart in the title race. Like Edwards, Biffle has spent his entire career at Roush Fenway Racing.

Someone asked Biffle recently about how the sport has changed since he first competed at the Cup level in 2002.

"The most significant (change) was this car, the car we have now, and no testing," he said. "That changed our entire sport. It changed it completely, and it will

never be the same. Before, we weren't spending all the time back at the shop with the engineers and seven-post machine and all the engineering-based models. It was more go to the race track and figure out what sway bar was the best, what spring, what shock, and we had data on the cars. We'd go home and look at the data, and look at what we learned and what the driver said about it, and we would go to the next place.

"That's how this sport used to be, and it's not like that any-more."

• It was Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw who made the following sage observation: "A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul."

• We're all familiar with the act of CPR -- we often see a film or television character come to the rescue and save a life using the technique. And on TV, according to a recent study, CPR is shown as being successful 75 percent of the time. The reality is not quite so rosy, though. A study conducted in 2010 found that when CPR is used in real life, only about 8 percent of the patients were still alive after one month. Of those who did survive that long, 97 percent couldn't live a normal life.

• Do you suffer from astraphobia? If so, I hope you don't live in Florida. Those who are afraid of lightning would be terrified in the Sunshine State, especially in Tampa, known as the lightning capital of the world.

• Researchers in the United Kingdom have invented a robot that eats slugs and is powered by the gas from the decaying creatures. They have dubbed their creation the SlugBot.

• For six generations, many members of the Fugate family of the Appalachian region of Kentucky have suffered from a rare blood disorder called methemoglobinemia. The disorder seems to have no adverse health effects, but it's not at all difficult to diagnose it at a glance: Sufferers have blue skin. Not just a slight tinge, either; various family members have been described as "blue as Lake Louise," "the bluest woman I ever saw" and "almost purple."

If you are enrolled in the Veterans Affairs health care system, you’re due to receive a personalized Health Benefits Handbook with all of your infor-mation in it.

The handbooks, which started rolling out in February, are being sent according to priority group, with Group 1 being the first to receive the handbooks. When you receive yours, read it and file it in a safe place (remember, it has your personal information in it). The handbooks are full of infor-

VA Gets Personal

mation you need about your benefits, including:--Co-pays--How to make an appointment--How to communicate with your clinical

team--Medications you are taking at the time, as well

as eyeglass prescriptions, nursing home informa-tion, dental benefits, specialized transportation, medical travel benefits and much more.

You’ll also find information about coordinating your health care, your rights as a patient, getting care outside the VA, pharmacy services, telephone numbers for your preferred facility and more.

By next year, all 8.5 million health-care vet-erans will have received the handbooks. Be sure to check yours carefully because the information is personalized for you and contains your private information. If it’s wrong, you need to speak up because it means something is incorrect some-where in the system.

If any information is wrong, contact the VA immediately. This could be the spelling of your name, your preferred VA facility, benefits you know you’re eligible for -- no matter what it is, call and have it corrected.

To learn more about the coming handbook, go online to www.va.gov/healthbenefits/vhbh or call the VA at 1-877-222-VETS (8387). Give it time to get the booklets out in order of priority, but if you’re in the first batch and months pass without receiving the booklet, give the VA a call.

Write to Freddy Groves in care of King Features Weekly Ser-vice, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475, or send e-mail to [email protected].
