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. RAMS will continue to host fundraisers and Meet N Greets to support the Glenrock Community.

Q: When will my favor-ite show, "Leverage," be back with new episodes? -- Paul T., via e-mail

A: The premiere of season five of the hit TNT

show will be Sunday, July 15, at 8 p.m. ET/PT. This year brings 10 all-new episodes starring your favorite gang of thieves, grifters and con artists led by Academy Award-winner Timothy Hut-ton, along with Gina Bell-man, Christian Kane, Beth Riesgraf and Aldis Hodge. This season promises to deliver high action and in-trigue -- and maybe some more romance -- as well as big-name guest stars, such as Cary Elwes and Treat Williams.

• • •Q: What's next for the beautiful Andie MacDowell?

It seems I see her only on hair color/make-up commer-cials anymore, and I really miss seeing her in movies. -- Britta, Fairview, Mich.

A: Andie just started production in mid-June on the new Hallmark Channel original series "Cedar Cove," which is based on the best-selling book series of the same name by Debbie Macomber. Andie will star as Judge Olivia Lockhart, whose Cedar Cove Municipal Court is the professional milieu and social microcosm of issues the judge will face in her own day-to-day life with family and friends. The series kicks off with a two-hour pilot, scheduled to air at the end of the year, with a weekly one-hour series to follow in early 2013.

• On July 3, 1775, on Cambridge common in Massachusetts, George Washington rides out in front of the American troops gathered there, draws his sword and formally takes command of the Continental Army. Washington declined to accept payment for his services beyond reimbursement of future expenses.

• On July 4, 1911, record temperatures are set throughout the northeastern United States, the result of a deadly heat wave that would go on to kill 380 people. By July 13, New York alone had reported 211 people dead from the excessive heat.

• On July 5, 1921, a trial begins in the case of seven Chicago White Sox baseball players accused of throwing the 1919 World Series. The conspiracy trial was just for show, and signed confessions from some of the players mysteriously disappeared from police custody. The jury acquitted all of the accused players and then celebrated with them at a nearby restaurant.

• On July 2, 1938, Helen Wills Moody defeats Helen Jacobs to win her eighth Wimbledon singles title. Her record was not broken until Martina Navratilova won her ninth Wimbledon title in 1990. Wills died in 1998 at the age of 92.

• On July 8, 1949, Wolfgang Puck, the celebrity chef and official caterer for the Academy Awards Governors Ball, is born in Austria. Puck's restaurant Spago in West Hollywood, Calif., became famous for its gourmet pizza (which featured such toppings as caviar and smoked salmon) and its celebrity clientele.

Not only did the season's 14th race come down to a battle between two drivers -- Joey Logano and Mark

Martin -- separated in age by 31 years, but they are also the Sprint Cup Series' best example of a pupil and a teacher. Martin, 53, was raving about Logano, 22, when the latter was 12.

In a sense, Logano nudged his biggest fan out of the way. He won at Pocono Raceway by what Martin himself referred to as the old "bump and run."

"It has been acceptable in this racing for a long time," Martin said. "It's not how I would have done it, but certainly, if I'd have had a fast-enough car, he would have gotten a return. But I couldn't quite keep up with him." As Charlie Robison sang, "These are desperate times." The general perception in the sport is that Logano -- and in a sense, this seems ridiculous given his still-tender age -- is under some pressure to keep his ride once the season ends.

Whether that's true or not -- or whether winning remedies whatev-er the situation truly is -- a victory has to help. Beforehand, the worry was whether or not Logano could remain at Joe Gibbs Racing. After-ward, talk drifted ever so slightly in the direction of whether or not Logano wants to stay there. All of a sudden, he's the one with options.

"No, I haven't been informed on where I stand for next year yet, so it's all up in the air," Logano said. "Obviously, winning a race means a lot and it helps that out a ton. For sure, right now, my future is not set with anybody. You

Pupil Beats Teacherneed to go out there and win races, not like we

always do, but to get this win means a lot."It's at a perfect time, and I think us teaming

up with Jason (Ratcliff, his crew chief) this year has been a really big help for me, and able to make our whole team really work together really well, and it's paying off. My hope is to obviously stay with what I've got and keep working with Jason, but you never know. Those things go back and forth and switch around a lot, and all I can do is stay focused on my job, and that's driving the race car."

Now the ball's back in team president J.D. Gibbs' court, and it might not be a bad idea to come up with a new contract offer. The price tag may be rising.

Joey Logano passed Mark Martin with a late "bump and run" to capture the Pocono 400, improving his chances to remain with Joe Gibbs Racing next season, and perhaps beyond. (John Clark/NASCAR This Week photo)

(Tough Enough to Wear Pink)

A veteran was buried in a cardboard box. I read those words on the Internet news, and my

stomach did a flip-flop.This didn’t happen in an emergency in an out-of-

the way place, or as a temporary measure, or as part of a crime. It happened in a National Cemetery.

It never should have happened at all. It only came to light when maintenance workers were realigning the veteran’s headstone and discovered the cardboard box just below the surface.

The World War II veteran was a man who had no family left to make any arrangements. Cem-etery officials did part of their job when they gave him an engraved headstone. The cemetery held a

Never Forget

small service. The veteran’s name was read in a ceremony that’s held a few times a year. But the medical examiner had sent his remains in a card-board box ... and that’s how the veteran was buried, in a shallow grave, in a National Cemetery.

How many others are there like this? Where I live, if there are unclaimed remains

of deceased veterans, they go all out. Two vet-erans without family were recently buried with full honors, with color guard, “Taps” and folded flags, arranged by a group of funeral directors. The cremated remains in small wood caskets arrived by Hearse. A hundred people attended the ceremony to honor two men who had no one else.

A bill now in Congress, “The Dignified Burial of Veterans Act of 2012,” will require the Depart-ment of Veterans Affairs to furnish a casket or urn to a deceased veteran when there is no next-of-kin or when there isn’t enough money available in the veteran’s estate.

If ever there was a time to get on the phone to call your senators about supporting a bill, this is it.
