Cindy's Death Panals

You can't make this stuff upl

Cynthia Lummis, Wyoming's gal in Congress, claims that she knows of 88 year old Wyoming folks who are opting out of dialysis so that the kids can get the ranch.

Cindy, you have reached a new low, even for you.

If indeed you DO know of such folks, you better oughta speak up, cuz assisted sucicide ain't the Wyoming Way. And, it's illegal. So do tell. Who are these people?

Think about it Cindy. We have people reading this. Are you saying that parents who DON'T die in 2010 are bad moms and dads? How long have you lived in Wyoming? We don't do it like this, plain and simple.

We're waiting for you to explain what the heck you're saying. Don't do assisted suicides. Don't enable this, it's just NOT okay.

Wyoming is wonderfully hypocritical---"welfare moms" shouldn't be taking money out of "ranchers" cattle's mouths! Read Sam Western's book Sold Down the River (something like that.) Wyoming is a welfare state and never stops talking with its mouth full!

How on earth was that taken out of context? It's what Cynthia said, and for her to stand by and do nothing is complicity. This actually makes Cynthia a de facto accessory...Well, I haven't heard anyone credit her with a brain.

Don't like Lumis nor most Republicans but
1) you have taken this way out of context
2) your constant liberal extreme left wing socially just politically correct help-the-minority at the expense of the majority double standard socialistic worship Obama mentality has driven me permanently away from this site

What it means is that the Red States don't produce as much taxable revenue as the Blue States. If there were no Blues, then the Reds could not support there own programs. There are millions and millions of dollars coming out of California. Don't forget the ratio of the amount of people in the Blue States either.
Looks like you only get partial credit for your homework.

Who all is going to have an oil well on their property? Probably some of the leeches on the subsidy program. You notice all the people having an anemometer set up on their place? Alot of these people are on the "hand out " list. Those wind chargers are the biggest eye sore I have seen in along time not to mention the high line that will go along with them.

Subsidies:

This is not in part a response to the article, But I would like to bring to attention top recipients of farm subsidies here in wyoming. Go to U. S. government farm subsidies site and just take a look at whom is receiving farm subsidies here in platte county , better yet take a look at how much they have received as well. These clowns are not farmers they are leeches.

When I said "barry", I was reffering to what I assumed was the author of the story. The fact I didn't capitalize the name was either due to my government education, aka public school. Or at a sign or disrespect, maybe both.

Wyoming Rancher:

I think you guys are missing CL's point. I'm sure she did hear this story from someone, and it may or may not be true, but I will assure there are ranchers here in WY that feel this way. My ranch has been in the family for 5 generations, and each generation has had to deal with their own problems, but the ranch has continued to grow and prosper. It is now at 40,000 acres and besides an annual 750k operating loan it is finally paid for. However it appraises at 15 million and with the tax imposed my son would have to pay over 7.8 million just to keep it in the family. The ranch would not be profitable with that type of overhead. So there you see it this is a major problem that needs to be addressed. My families already paid for it more than ounce and to outright steal it is wrong.

4shore:

Let's see, why would all the kids in Wyoming want to get out of there as fast and permanently as possible? Could it be bc the state is run by corrupt and lying or just dumb people who say crap like this? I've never visited Wyoming even and I guess that's something I don't regret. With crap like this from the people you elect to run you its amazing anyone lives or vacations there at all. Might as well fill the place with oil derricks and windmills. Oh that's right that's what you people are doing. You could always name them after your kids who move away.

Mama Couger:

Come on people. Cynthia Lummis said a stupid and hurtful thing. This has nothing to do with religion or right to die issues or anything else. Don't make it look like the entire state of Wyoming is made up of stupid people who think like Lummis. You can vote for her, like her, whatever else you want to do in the privacy of your own home, but do the rest of us in the state a favor and don't defend this, the only stupid thing she's ever in her whole life said. If she knew of these dozens of elderly sick ranchers she would name one of them, but that's an entirely different issue.

I resent you sticking your nose into someone elses end of life decisions. If you haven't walked in their shoes, you don't have enough information to make that kind of decision for anyone but yourself. If a person is tired of living, then keep your religion out of their way. It is not appreciated or appropriate. Back off!!!!

Thanks Kitkat. Michelle, I imagine Fred was using the familiar "barry" with a lower case to refer to our President, President Barack Obama. The teabaggers delight in calling him "barry" in quotes. They get off on it. Do you understand? Thanks Kitkat for finding that video and putting it up there. I think there's also a classic Lummis clip of her on the Stephen Colbert show. Those liberal media folks just don't miss a chance to poke fun do they?

Michelle:

Baily, look again. Fred said "Barry."

I am in support of people keeping their freedom to choose for themselves whether or not to accept extreme mechanical or medicinal means of staying alive long past what is natural, and not be criticised for it! Some would value passing an inheritance to their children's children over prolonging their own suffering.

I have not seen the YouTube video to which you refer. I am only commenting on what I read here.

Wednesday
11/3/10 2:40 PM

baily:

Fred if you were referring to me, no, you did not "read me right".
Michelle, you're a moron.

Lummis said, and I guess I'll go look for the YouTube on this, that she knew of 88 yr olds on dialysis (yes, plural) who were choosing to go off the dialysis so they could die before the new year. I'm sure that has at least a few of her 88 yr old constituents feeling like crap for not loving their kids enough to unplug the mechanical kidneys and suffer away to death for them.

The fact that ANYONE is supporting her on this has my jaw hanging open.

88 yr old ranch owners on dialysis out there--keep on kicking. Your kids'll be fine having to get a job.

Wednesday
11/3/10 1:48 PM

Michelle:

Perhaps someone is jumping to unlikely conclusions about CL and the old folks to whom she refers.
Why are some people criticized for opting out of some medical treatment? A hundred years ago, when these choices weren't available, life and death were more respected. Now, whatever happened to the freedom to choose or refuse treatments? Barry, this has nothing to do with assisted suicide. You misunderstand terribly and like to hear yourself spout off your opinions. And Baily, a thinking person will not form an opinion of CL by this little piece.

Write In Votes in Wheatland

Who You Gonna Write For

The status quo incumbants look like they could be taking a beating in Wheaterville this voting season. Commissioner Dan Kirkbride was the first to fall to newcomer Steve Schokley

Platte County Attorney candidate Ken Johnston gave ABA (Anyone But Alden) incumbant Eric Jones a real run for his money in the August primary, and has decided to stay in the race and hope for a write-in win against Jones.

Jones was appointed by the Platte County Commissioners after the ABA contingent elected Mary Eikenberry but then decided to fire her. (Until she resigned, then promptly rescinded her resignation, whereupon she was, indeed, fired by then-Commissioners Kirkbride, Reichardt and Milikin.) Eric Jones was eventually elected Platte County Attorney after his initial appointment, and also continues to run his local private law practice.

Attorney Johnston came surprisingly close to unseating Jones in August, losing by fewer than 200 votes. He's knocking on doors and hoping that 200 additional people will write in his name, and fill in that little oval next to it, on November 2.

Incumbant Wheatland mayor Dean Hensel ran unopposed in the primary, but has some unexpected competition in the general.

In August, Jean "Skrinny" Dixon let it be known around town that since she wasn't going for another go-around as County Clerk, she'd be open to taking a shot at Mayor if enough folks wrote her in on their primary ballots. She only needed three, and received more than enough to convince her to unofficially officially run for the roses.

Meanwhile, in the State Governor's race, Tea Party favorite and Cheyenne Doc Taylor Haines didn't make it onto the ballot, but he's out there campaigning, talking about the issues, and hoping that Wyoming voters will decide that Matt Mead's Millions shouldn't buy him the Governor's mansion.

Hard to say how Platte County will vote. Their candidate last time around was Duncan Hunter. 'Nuff said.

Wednesday
11/3/10 2:29 PM

Really??:

Well we got a change on the school board (thank goodness) but why do the people of Platte County insist on paying a part-time county attorney full-time wages? We had our chance. Now we have to live with it. But I hope we can hold his feet to the fire this time around and maybe we got someone on the county commission that will do that. My question is: why can Eric Jones have a private practice? Is that normal for other county attorneys in Wyoming to maintain a private practice?

Friday
10/29/10 8:22 PM

Peanutz:

It is sad that Eric Jones has nothing good or positive to say about himself, and instead only negative things to say about Ken Johnston. His latest ad about the carpetbaggers was possibly worse then his first but at least this time he remembered to take "credit" for his paid ad. The first one was so negative he decided to not put his name to it until everyone pointed out that it was illegal not to. Funny to have to do that for a lawyer. Ken Johnston will have alot of write in votes.

WTF?:

Ok you moron,it's not Joe Johnson that is running for county attorney,it's Ken Johnston.Get your facts straight you idiot! You should know who is running before you start the mud slinging you jackass!And how dare you say such awful things about a person you obviously don't know ANYTHING about,Joe is one of the sweetest men I have ever met,he would'nt even hurt a fly.Ken has been here for ten years as a rancher ,and he has 35+ years of law experience,he is also a Christain.The way Eric dose bussines I believe the oppisite is true,he hires other lawers to do his work. For example- Eric Palen from Douglas,and 2 others from Cheyenne and Torrington because he has "other interests". So there's the facts dumbass! As for me Ken Jonston has my vote!

Vote for Ken Johnston:

Vote for Ken Johnston. He isn't putting any one down and calling names. He walked the streets of Chugwater,
Glendo, Wheatland, Guernsey and introduced himself to everyone and heard their concerns. He isn't running a
negative campaign. Keep up the good work, Ken.

Saturday
10/23/10 5:42 PM

watching:

To Kit, no, the county board hired the asst attorney only after alot of pushing and Eric sold himself as not going to need that. But he does keep a private practice and he does have conflict of interest alot from what it looks like and hires Palen from Douglas to replace him or rather the county hires him. Also Eric is town of chug and town of glendo attorney which is more conflict of interest and also takes time away from main job of county attorney or what should be main job. Kit you need to look into the facts actually. We need I think a fresh start with the county attorney here, one that doesn't remind anybody of why Eric was able to talk the board into giving him the position. Thank you.

Saturday
10/23/10 5:36 PM

Eric v Eikenberry?:

Who knew? Read Eric Jone's ad in the paper and you'd think that he was running against Mary Eikenberry. That's not true is it? Ask yourself why Eric Jones would use that silly tactic to scare people into voting for him. Does he fancy that he is Eric ALDEN and people might realize that they let a good one go? Most people know the difference between a Jones and an Alden.
One more thing. Look at the budget allocation for county attorney when Eric Alden was in charge compared to Eric Jone's last few years. Jones started at $65K as a parttime county attorney. Parttime. His salary has gone up each time the rest of the county employees' salaries have gone up. If it were Eikenberry or Jones, I'd vote for Jones, but contrary to what Eric Jones ad would have you believe, Eikenberry is not running.

Saturday
10/23/10 5:28 PM

Kit:

I find it interesting that y'all make an assumption that Mr. Jones doesn't work full time. Have any of you checked into that? Or are you just assuming that because he does have a private office that it means he's not working but half time at both? If you think he's not working hard enough for our County how about checking the records. How about finding out how many cases are going through the office and how many are prosecuted?

How about each of you check your facts before you rant and rave like morons.

The hiring of a Deputy County Attorney was done long before Mr. Jones was in office. It has nothing to do with him. How about checking that out? Our County needs representation at all times....should our County Attorney never go away on holiday? Considering Mr. Johnston has no law expierence....do you think he won't be using the Deputy County Attorney? You think that if he should be voted into office that the County can then let go of the Deputy County Attorney?

Think for one moment about what having a county attorney without criminal law expierence would mean. What outcome would come from that? How would that impact your life? If you were to be assulted on the street by a person...that person is caught and on trial. You have an attorney walk in the room who has no expierence in criminal law try and convict this person...do you feel safe? I sure wouldn't. I would want someone in the prosecutors chair who knows how it works.

But then again, no one would have anything to piss and moan about if they didn't have crap flowing out of their mouths. How about finding out some facts!

vote for ken:

Ken Johnston for County Attorney.

Eric's negative campaign ad should not be rewarded with your vote. It was disgusting, and yes I agree fear mongering and we don't need that.

Ken Johnston has told us why we should vote for him, not why we shouldn't vote for the other guy. Eric wants to be voted in as the candidate that was better then Mary Eikenberry. Wow.

Yes and someone figure out why an attorney didn't follow campaign law and also didn't want to be accountable for the ad he put in the local paper.

Thursday
10/21/10 10:04 AM

to Who Did and Stunned:

Two possibilites. Either Erik Jones didn't KNOW that he has to include "paid for by" information on the bottom of his "ad" or he decided that rule didn't apply to him. Either way, it doesn't say much for his as an attorney or as a candidate. It's likely that the powers that be in these elections will look into it. It's a campaign law that the "paid for by" be included in all ads. All that said, it was a pathetic excuse for an "elect me". He used the classic fear mongering tactics of "if you don't pick me it will be as bad as before" using the Eikenberry fiasco as a threat to voters. I hope everyone reads that "ad" a couple of times before they vote because if that's who Erik Jones is, then he sure doesn't deserve the position. This ad is sending me to look up the alternatives and I guess that's a good thing. If Ken Johnston is a viable option, he has my write in vote, based on that ad and the talk around town. The most interesting thing would be to find out who placed that ad. The Record Times people certainly know, and their ad people and graphic people should certainly know better then to put that ad in there without the Paid For By disclaimer. Anybody know who those people are? Ask them. Where's Starbuck?

Wednesday
10/20/10 5:15 PM

Who did:

I did see the add in the Merchant that included Eric Jones I don't think he put in the paper. If you noticed on all of the other campaign adds it had who paid for them. The add that you are referring to is blank, not sure if this is legal.

Wednesday
10/20/10 5:53 AM

stunned too:

wow, and why is mr jones so negative about people that have left town too. then to show he is a "community'' guy, a little ad on another page is how he supports the local HS sports! Negativity has got to go buddy!

Tuesday
10/19/10 6:06 PM

stunned:

OMG!!!! Eric Jones...don't you have anything positive to say about yourself...check his ad in the paper this week...your negativity is one reson I won't vote for you! Rule of Thumper: If you can't say something nice, don't say nuthin at all. Way to go, Ken Johnston, for not falling to Eric's low level!

Wheatland School Board Meeting Tonight

Ah, the Ides of March. Dig into your high school freshman memories. In 44 BC Julius Caesar was stabbed on the steps of the Roman Senate. Not a good day for Caesar.

Will the Ides of March 2010 be a good day for the Wheatland School Board? Will they "succeed" at confirming that yes indeed, Wheatland Is A Place For Hate? Or will concerned Platte County citizens and WHS students show up to try once again to talk sense into their closed little minds? What Would Jesus Do? He'd grab his dad's hammer and put those banners up himself.

Tonight's school board meeting starts at 7pm, at the usual place. The board is keeping its collective fingers crossed that they "won" and that everyone will have forgotten those soundbytes and all the recognition their Hate Games illicited for our fair town. They're hoping with whatever hearts they have that no one will show, no one will ask questions, no one will make them think.

See you at the meeting. The board will have to allow that confounded 30 minutes of public comment (and this time shout foul if Kelly Tyson uses some of it like he did month) but they won't like it any more than they did last time. Dallas Mount may ask that the time be extended, so that all may be heard, but likely no other board member will have the decency to second his motion. Again.

The board will have to deal with the "No Advertising in Schools" situation, because that was officially asked for. Seeing how they decide to handle that alone will be worth attending the meeting.

WHS is safe from the No Place For Hate label. No one is thinking of moving to Wheatland or Wyoming for its progressive, or liberal or "Do Unto Others" ethics. No one thinks that Wheatland is even aware of what's going on outside its walls. Nope, Wheatland is "safe" from infiltration by anyone who doesn't Think Like Jack. Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!

Any change for Wheatland will have to come from those of us who already live here. If Wheatland is ever to be more than what it is, it will be because of the people like the ones who showed up, and spoke up last month at the school board meeting, and those of us who will indeed show up again. Please join us. Make them listen to 30 more minutes of what the people of Platte want. Show them that Wheatland is NO Place For Hate.

Friday

Get with it.:

Very true! The main problem is that the supposed leaders poor choices give the educators who are doing their job a bad rap and are criticized from everyone in the community. The old adage one apple makes the whole basket bad. Maybe educators should be tested for alcohol and drug use. Power plant, coal mine, oil field employees. People who are with and around kids everyday should be tested.

MP:

A little clarification on the March 16 & 17 comments on the closing of Platte County's Public Shooting range. There was some new fence being put in and the folks who were working on the fence were tired of hitting the ground to dodge the bullets and didn't want to take a bullet in the head, so they requested it be closed while they were working to avoid any mishaps. It had not a thing to do with the School Board.

So Jack, what should we do about these gays? Should we ban them from going to any and all dances? And I'm not talking just high school, I'm talking adults too. Should we ban them from attending ALL functions as couples because, as you so wisely put it, it's glorifying them.

Jack, I'm assuming you live in Wheatland because you're so into the slime of it all. You should really, and I mean this sincerely, think about running for Mayor or at least Commissioner of Platte. You are a perfect mouthpiece for the community! You are the epitome of all that is Wheatland and Platte. You have the politics, the philosophy and the intelligence that set Wheatland apart from, well, from anywhere else in the entire country, and, likely the world. You ARE Wheatland! Please Jack, step up to the plate and keep speaking up for Wheatland. We need you Jack. With you in charge of at least a part of things, there will be no gays come running in here, and the liberals will finally take a cue and get the heck outta here and take their lattes with them. Jack for Mayor! Then Jack for Governor once he's cleaned up the streets of Wheatland. You're a great representative for Wheatland residents.

You’re suggesting that the school board had something to do with the shooting range being closed for a few days?

Wednesday

Wheaterville Resident:

Well, must be why the City locked up the "PUBLIC" shooting range a few days back. So no one could practice before the meetings???? Or since we had a few nice days, no one could use the PUBLIC shooting range. No sign on the gate as to why- local Sheriff has no clue since it is not HIS problem.

Hubert Has a Fence AND a Special Use Permit

Right?

I mean, we all sort of think that Hubert got his Special Use Permit this time around. Didn't he? Sure he did. How could he not?

If he did, it comes strapped to a lot of conditions, including, you guessed it, a fence. And this time a fence with Conditions. (Ain't nobody in Wheaterville gonna have to say: "Fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again." Uh-Uh.)

Hubert finally gets his Special Use Permit (for at least six months or until there are more complaints) after a Zoning Certificate is approved, and after he builds a fence of bundles or boards, eight feet high, from the NE corner of his place to 50 feet from his house.

Deja vu again, but on a more manageable scale.

Marlin the Planner however, does not like being undermined, and he said so. He's not sure the current screening really screens, although everyone else, including the Planning and Zoning Board, disagrees with his assessment. If that fence does anything, it screens, is the the concensus. But darn it all, Marlin the Planner does not appreciate the "established rules" being bent. He was supposed to win this one.

Platte County resident Chris Gray agreed that Hubert's "bad behavior" shouldn't be "rewarded". Wait, what "bad behavior?" Oh--challenging his right to get the Special Use Permit! Which he got. Which indicates that he should have had a whole hell of a long time ago. Seems like "bad behavior" like that "fighting for what is right" is something we all oughta see more of.

However, just to make sure that no one thinks anyone except Hubert and the posse were ever in the wrong, one of the conditions of Hubert's Special Use Permit is that everyone agrees that the approval of the Special Use Permit does not in any way "...imply any County override of applicable District Court Orders." So there. Na na na na na.

Bottom line is that there'll be some more fence building going on before the Saga of Hubert is over, but it looks like everyone is ok with all of it.

Right?

So, does anyone know for sure if Hubert has his 4th Special Use Permit....in his hand? If not, why?
If so, good!

Huberts Possee:

Yep, Hubert got the special use permit but with all the conditions...like the "screening" extended within 50 feet of his house. Does Marlin lay awake all night thinking up stipulations that have to be followed to get a special use permit?
The fence/screening really only benefits the neighbor across the road, that helped start all this up roar. She can now look at the bundles of slabs instead of the salvage materials. I hope she is happy that she caused Hubert all this trouble after he plowed and maintained her road for 15 years. It cost Hubert $17,000 of his $20,000 bond, that the commissioners paid Grays Metal Solutions to remove equiptment from Huberts property. Then there is the damage that was done to the sawmill equiptment. Do you think the stress of 5 years of litigation has help contribute of Hubert's poor health?
We need to get Marlin out of the Planning and Zoning before this happens again.
By the way, is there anyone interested in running for Dan Kirkbrides commissioner position?

New Year, New Stuff

2009 in Wheatland, WY and the surrounds looks like the times they are a' changin'.

WADCO is PCED...New Year, New Name. Wheatland Area Development COrporation (WADCO) is now Platte County Economic Development (PCED). New executive director coming soon, and a new website too...former ed Susan Jenkins had Big Wind Guys in town and they were NOT just talking hot air. 2009 could bring more wind and more economic development to Platte County, and PCED will be a driving force.

For instance, take a photo of the drive on I25 between Wheatland and Chugwater sometime this year. Odds are it's going to look mighty different by the time 2014 rolls around. That's been named The Wind Corridor by wind folks in the know--pretty soon you'll be able to connect the dots between the wind turbines, 'cuz folks, we got wind, lots of it, and the gov'ment gots cash to spend on turning it into energy.

That Big, Wonderful, New nursing home in Wheatland? Sounds like Platte County Economic Development there too. There's a timeline on this and lots of checkpoints--stay tuned and get involved. The good news is that the new nursing home will affect just about everyone at some point. Make it what you want it to be.

Get involved in PCED, get involved in the Chamber of Commerce, support local businesses, stick your nose into local politics, contribute time and ideas to your town and be a part of all the positive that's happening.

You don't have to "go with the flow" but you should at least jump into the water.

One More Reason to Hate Boulder, CO

Boulder, CO had their annual "Naked Pumpkin Run" with 300 bare-buttocks (that'd be 150 partici-pants, with two buttocks per) runners. They run thru the streets of that crazy liberal prarie dog hugging elitist enclave every year, wearing just a pumpkin on their head, er, on their noggin to be more specific. And if that doesn't make you just want to spit and poke fun, how 'bout the fact that 12 of those intellectual latte drinkers got CAUGHT and arrested! (Would you DO this if you couldn't avoid being CAUGHT?!?!?)
Anyway, Boulder might just slap their behinds with "sex offender" status, so there!

Hey, what's the big deal? I kick my kids, too. And then I send 'em to school where a drunk guy is the boss.

The Lord's Army:

But the prophet who shall presume to speak a word in My name which I have not commanded him to speak, or who shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. -Deut. 18:20

Wheatland, Wyoming is a town that has forgotten the word of the Living God. How dare any of you blapsheming hypocrites say you know the Lord your God when you have turned against His perfect, divinely inspired Word? Read the Bible! The laws of the Old Testament are alive and well. Lie not with mankind as with womankind! Wheatland has done a good job ridding itself of the admoniable homosexual filth, but it is still a community of transgression! What about the other sexual and moral sins that are committed here?
NONE of you have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your savior. You worship false idols and pray for the souls of the murdered even though the Lord's Anger is pouring. I am done praying for your souls to open your eyes to God and do all that is unclean before Him.
Fin, you are Satan in the flesh and are trying to sway people to worship your idols. Find God and learn his word! And you Christian hypocrites, stop beliveing only the good parts of the Holy Bible and ignoring the bad! To be sealed in heaven as a servent of our Lord we must obey all His Laws! Do not allow women to speak in church! Condemn those who do not obey! Make this town clean! And most importantly--accept the good and the bad from God because everything is good from God--even the events that have transpired because of His burning anger against this self proclaimed Christian town full of sin!

Boulder Bun Basher:

Ya, even Boulder goes after sex offenders but this does seem extreme. Maybe though that's why all the Colorado sex offenders come up here to Wyoming where they're safe. Maybe Wyoming should look around and learn from Boulder. Is this on Youtube?
