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.

Alzheimer’s Is Common Type of Dementia

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: What is the difference between dementia and Alzheimer’s disease? Are they the same? -- M.J.

ANSWER: “Dementia” is an encompassing word that includes many different conditions. Those con-ditions have some similar features that indicate an impairment or loss of important mental functions. The inability to retain new information, getting lost in familiar surroundings, difficulty choosing the proper words to express oneself, trouble doing simple arithmetic like adding and subtracting, the failure to recognize close relatives and friends, and showing poor judgment like dressing for winter in the middle of summer are signs of dementia.

Alzheimer’s disease, Pick’s disease, vascular de-mentia (dementia due to many small strokes), dementia with Lewy bodies and frontotemporal dementia are but a few of the dementia illnesses. Each of these illnesses has special features that set it apart from the other dementing conditions.

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common kind of de-mentia. People often use “dementia” when they mean “Alzheimer’s disease.” It’s best to give the exact name for the illness that is causing mental deterioration.

The booklet on Alzheimer’s disease provides the signs and symptoms of this illness. Readers who would like a copy can obtain one by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 903W, 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: What has happened to the

appendix? I never hear about appendicitis anymore. Has the operation gone out of fashion? Or is there some other way to deal with it? -- R.P.

ANSWER: The appendix is still where it always has been, dangling down from the first part of the colon

on the lower right side. Long thought not to have any purpose, it does appear to add to immune defenses and seems to produce products useful for the development of the fetus. We do well without it, though.

Appendicitis has not gone out of fashion. It happens with the same regularity it always has. The age group most likely to suffer from it is the group between 10 and 19. Around 250,000 appendectomies are done yearly in the United States.

Newer developments in the diagnosis of appendicitis include CT scans and ultrasound. Many surgeons now use a laparoscope to remove it. It’s a viewing instru-ment passed into the abdomen through a small incision. Instruments also are inserted through similar small incisions.

• • •DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I don’t think my problem

will impress you, but here I go.I refuse to wear a bathing suit in the summer because

of all the spider veins on my legs, especially in the area of the ankles. How are they gotten rid of? I heard that tea bags work. Do they? -- E.L.

ANSWER: I’m not familiar with tea bags for spider veins.

Other treatments do work well. Lasers can obliterate them. So can sclerotherapy. A doctor injects these tiny veins with a solution that causes them to wither and dry up.

I’m sure you won’t have trouble finding a doctor who does these procedures. If you do have trouble, ask your family doctor for a referral.

Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual let-ters, 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.

What a difference a vic-tory makes.

Kyle Busch arrived at Richmond International Race-

way, where he won in the past three springs, ranked 13th in the Sprint Cup points. He had placed 36th, 11th and 10th in the previous three races.

Guess what? Busch won again. He moved up to 11th in the standings. The Capital City 400 was the 24th vic-tory of his career. His older brother, Kurt, even won the Nationwide Series race a day earlier driving a Toyota Kyle owned.

Kyle, who turned 27 on Wednesday, wasn't exagger-ating when he said, "It was an awesome victory overall."

Crew chief Dave Rogers said, "I think the key to the game was Kyle kept us in it all race. He never got frustrated or discouraged."

"Kyle just stayed real patient, never wor-ried about things, kept his poise, and things just worked out right for us in the end," added owner Joe Gibbs.

Another important factor was Busch's pit crew, which managed to get his No. 18 Camry out of the pits ahead of Tony Stewart's Impala

Kyle's Awesome Winin its final stop.

"Once I got out front, I knew I had 10 laps," Busch said. "I could abuse the heck out of that thing and drive it for all it was worth, and didn't have to save any tires."

It was a great spot for Kyle Busch to be in. To borrow the cliche often used by Motor Racing

Network's Barney Hall, he "drove the wheels off that car."

"In evaluating our pro-gram, we've definitely had some ups and downs," Busch said. "We haven't run to the competitiveness we want to. We're not out there leading all the laps, and running up front, and doing what (point leader Greg) Biffle has been able to do or Martin Truex has

been able to do, or some of those guys.In addition to his fourth straight springtime

victory in Richmond, Kyle also equaled his older brother's total of career victories.

"It's neat that we're still racing around here in Cup," Kyle said, "and hopefully with many more wins that we can both achieve."

“She loves me, she loves me not,” the kids chant in a chorus around a little patch of daisies blooming on our boulevard. Tugging flower petals one by one, their smiling young faces announce in a most traditional way that spring has sprung.

Join your kids during this beautiful season and take a closer look at the flowers in your yard, neighborhood park or in the vase on your kitchen table. Discover the interesting shapes of the petals that one by one compose a unique bloom. Then let your obser-vations inspire you to make a bouquet of everlasting flowers from the most unusual of materials: wire and inexpensive, colorful knee-high stockings!

Here are the materials for a flower with four or five petals:

2 sheer knee-high stockings in white or pastel colorsA roll of 16- or 18-gauge wireScissorsFloral tape or green electrical tapeVase or flowerpot with florist foam insideFloral moss (optional)

Craft Sheer Hosiery Into Flower Bouquet

NOW HIRING!CLASS A TANKER DRIVERS

& LEAD DRIVERS

Here’s the fun:1. Shape and twist the wire in a loop to form an outline

of a petal that is about 1 inch in diameter. Think of it as the “frame” of the petal. Do not cut the wire at the base of the loop, but rather twist and turn the wire to form another similar-size petal next to the first until you have four or five petals. Do not cut off the wire.

2. Cut off the toe and the elastic end of a pair of sheer knee-highs. Stretch the stocking over a wire petal, then twist it in place at the base, stretch it a bit more, and then twist again. Wrap the wire around the base to fasten the

stocking in place. Cut off excess stocking below the petal. Continue with each petal. This can be a two-per-son project. Your child can stretch the stocking over the petal while you do the twisting.

3. Cut the wire, allowing for a stem. Give the stem a nice finished look with floral or green electrical tape. Arrange in a flowerpot with floral moss or in a vase.

Tips: Glue miniature butterflies or bugs to the flowers, or add details with fabric paints in squeeze bottles.

Q: I have a "tire" ashtray that I think is probably from the 1930s. Are these collectible? -- Carl, Dayton, Ohio

A: Most of the "tire" ashtrays that I've seen being offered for sale were originally given away as premiums by service stations, tire manufacturers and garages. The earliest styles were crafted of glass circled by a miniature rub-ber tire. On the tire is embossed the name of the company. Ashtrays of this type produced before about 1950 are especially collectible. Typical prices are Goodrich Double Eagle, $125; Fire-stone Deluxe Champion, $45; Zenith, $40; and Jetzon, $20. As with most collectibles, condi-tion is extremely important. For non-smokers, some of the ashtrays were issued that featured a pin tray.

• • •Q: My mom collected Avon bottles, and

I have inherited them. I know nothing about Avon and current values. Can you help me? -- Susan, Stigler, Okla.

A: The California Perfume Company was founded in 1886 and the Avon line was not in-troduced until about 40 years later. Collecting the earlier items is still competitive, but ones issued after about 1960 have little or no value to serious enthusiasts. After monitoring eBay for several days, I still believe that the Avon mar-ket has softened. There are several guidebooks available at amazon.com, but you should take the prices listed in them with some caution. For example, one guide lists a Nile Blue Bath Urn for $15, but it actually sells for about $5.

Depression. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Sub-stance abuse. Thoughts of suicide. Trauma from sexual assault. Anxiety. If you’re a veteran with any of those mental-health struggles, there is help via the Department of Veterans Affairs.

You can take a big step forward in getting help for yourself or a veteran family member by going to the VA’s website, www.mentalhealth.va.gov. Click on:

--Screening tools: You’ll find screening tests for de-pression, PTSD and substance abuse, including drugs and alcohol.

--Where to get help: Click on the green HELP graphic, and you’ll find tabs for getting help right now (if you are in crisis, call 1-800-273-8255 and press “1”), program locators and treatment info. Click on the map graphic to find the nearest VA facility. Use the drop-down menu

Mental Health Help From the VA

to find the type of facility you need. There is a special PTSD link on the left side of the screen.

--If you’re having suicidal thoughts (or if there is a veteran you’re worried about): If you can get to a computer, consider checking in with the Veterans Crisis Online chat. Someone is there 24 hours a day. Go to www.mentalhealth.va.gov and click Suicide Prevention on the left side of the screen. (Or go to http://veteranscrisisline.net/) You also can send a text message to 838255. You don’t have to be enrolled in VA health care to get help.

Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki re-cently announced that the VA would be adding 1,600 more mental-health clinicians -- nurses, psychologists, social workers, psychiatrists -- plus 300 more support staff. The need is great -- 1.3 million veterans were helped with mental-health services last year -- and that number will only increase.

If you need help, it’s there. Don’t wait. Just take the first step.
