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.

BRISTOL, Tenn. -- At last, Martin Truex Jr.'s fortunes are rising at Michael Waltrip Rac-ing. His third-place finish in the Food City 500 was his second

top 10 of the season to date. Four races in, Truex ranks fourth in the Sprint Cup point standings.

Truex, who is from Mayetta, N.J., won in June 2007 at Dover, Del., while driving a Chevy for Richard Childress Racing. In 2010, he moved to Waltrip's Toyota team. Since that one Dover victory, 171 rac-es have passed. After finishes of 22nd and 18th in points at MWR, it appears as if the 31-year-old has regained his form.

Though the Bristol race was won on March 18 by a Dodge (Brad Keselowski), and a Ford (Matt Kenseth) finished second, the MWR Camrys of Truex, Clint Bowyer and Brian Vickers finished third, fourth and fifth, respectively.

"We've just got a good organization right now, a good bunch of people," Truex said. "We've got three race cars that seem to go to the race track and run really well each week. We're able to feed off each other. All season our cars have been strong.

"Across the board, it's been a lot of hard work and

Truex Off to Fast Start With Waltrip Teamdedication by the team. In the end, all the people doing their jobs the best they can is why things have been work-ing out for us."

Twice, in 2004 and 2005, Truex won the championship of what is now the NASCAR Nationwide Series.

Bowyer is Truex's lone full-time teammate. The team's third Toyota, No. 55, is most often driven by veteran Mark Martin. Vickers made his first start in the car at Bristol. Waltrip, the team owner, will drive occasionally.

Martin has historically been praised for his teamwork in previous stops at Roush Fenway Racing and Hendrick Motors-ports, among others.

"Obviously, Mark is a great driver," Truex said. "He's got a lot of experience. I think one of the things he's brought is confidence in the team. When he comes in there and says, 'Man, I really like these race cars; I like what you guys are doing,' it makes a pretty big impact.

"He (Martin) can get in anything and go fast. When he says you've got good race cars, he gives your team a good direction to head in when they're not great. He's definitely brought a lot to the team."

Understanding Breast CalcificationsDEAR DR. DONOHUE: The receptionist at

my doctor’s office called to give me the report on a mammogram I had taken. She said that it showed calcifications and that the doctor wanted it repeated in six months. Why? Are calcifications indications of cancer? If they are, I’d like to get this taken care of immediately. I am becoming a nervous wreck thinking about this. -- H.M.

ANSWER: When tests don’t provide a defi-nite answer, everyone suffers -- the patient, the doctor of the patient and the doctor who inter-preted the test.

Calcifications are the perfect example. They’re calcium specks. When the doctor in-terpreting the mammogram sees them, he or she bases their importance on their number, their shape, their size and the pattern they make. With those criteria, the doctor usually can say whether they indicate cancer.

Noncancerous calcifications might result from a bump to the breast to which you paid little attention. Or a minor breast infection could have caused them.

If the doctor feels that evidence points more in the direction of cancer, then he or she will ask for an immediate biopsy. If the doctor feels more certain that they are not cancer signs but is not completely certain about that call, a re-peat examination at a later date is a reasonable position to take. Neither the interpreting doctor nor your personal doctor would ask for a delay if there was any chance that the inaction would harm your health.

The pamphlet on breast cancer gives the ap-proach to diagnosing and treating it. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 1101W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four

weeks for delivery.• • •

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My thighs are loaded with cellulite. What is it, and how can I get rid of it? -- M.T.

ANSWER: Cellulite is beneath-the-skin fat that forms small puckers due to crisscrossing fibers similar to but not the same as scar-tissue fibers. The fiber-puckered fat gives the involved skin a lumpy-bumpy appearance.

Laser treatments, radiofrequency wave treat-ments and ultrasound have been used for remov-ing cellulite. These are cosmetic procedures and likely are not covered by insurance. Innumerable creams are advertised for cellulite reduction, but I can’t tell you if they work. I would be cautious about trying any that are costly. Weight loss makes cellulite less obvious. You are best served by con-sulting a dermatologist.

• • •DEAR DR. DONOHUE: For the past several

days, my left eyelid has been twitching. There’s no pain. It does not affect my vision. Does it mean anything? -- T.P.

ANSWER: Not usually. Eyelid twitches result from spasms of muscles controlling eyelid move-ment. It’s intermittent and lasts for a few days, at most. Fatigue, stress and caffeine have been implicated as causes. I have had such twitching, at times when I was neither tired nor stressed nor drinking caffeine.

If the twitching is bothersome, soak a wash-cloth in warm water and apply it to the closed eyelid. If twitching lasts longer than a week or two, see the family doctor.

• • •Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual

letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

The House Committee on Veterans Affairs asked the VA Office of Inspector General to review and evaluate how services are being provided to vet-erans who have had amputations. The study was limited to 838 veterans discharged from active ser-vice after Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation New Dawn.

Here’s what it found: --The majority were between the ages of 22 and

25, enlisted male veterans.--The rates of some disorders increased after

discharge. Anxiety disorders rose from 42 percent to 61 percent. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder rates increased from 31 percent to 58 percent. Alcohol disorders rose from 7 percent to 11 percent. Drug disorders, however, and adjustment disorders de-creased.

--Veterans with upper limb amputations didn’t fare as well as those with lower limb amputations in terms of psychosocial adjustment, physical ability and prosthetic satisfaction.

--Veterans with amputations and prostheses are “significant users” of Department of Veterans Af-fairs health services, and not just for the prosthe-ses: 99 percent use VA health care for all medical needs.

The comments at the end of the report are telling.

Prosthetic Limb Study

One veteran commented on the lengthy process to get a prosthesis made by an outside vendor and have the VA approve and pay for it. Another makes his own repairs to his prosthesis to cut through the VA red tape. Another veteran goes out of his way to avoid using VA care, saying most of the staff doesn’t understand upper limb amputations. Some veterans are waiting six months for an appointment and then have to travel long distances. Another has had a clothing issue for years and hadn’t been able to get help until the OIG stepped in.

To read the 88-page report, go to va.gov and search for Prosthetic Limb Care in VA Facilities.

• It was American humorist Evan Esar who defined a zoo as "an excellent place to study the habits of human beings."

• The New York Times Best Seller list was first published on April 9, 1942. Since that time, only eight authors have managed to have books place No. 1 on both the fiction and nonfiction lists. Those who have accomplished that feat include Ernest Hemingway, Jimmy Buffett, William Styron, Dr. Seuss and John Steinbeck.

• If you're planning a trip to New Orleans, you might want to keep in mind the following law: It's illegal in that city to curse a firefighter while he or she is engaged in official duties.

• America's first vending machines were found in New York City train stations; they dispensed gum.

• In a 1982 issue of the magazine American Film, a writer named Chuck Ross claimed that he retyped the screenplay to the 1942 film "Casablanca," changing only the title and one of the character's names, and submitted it to 217 agencies. Of the 85 who responded, only eight recognized it as "Casablanca," though it seemed familiar to another 25. Three of the agencies thought it might be commercially viable, while one thought it should be turned into a novel. The Oscar-wining screenplay was rejected outright by 38 of the agencies.
