pecial to the Trail-Gazette
Common CentsCounts, theLibrarys grantfunded financial
literacy program, is offer-ing a new class to assist
people in that dreadedbut necessarytask ofkeeping a budget. Theclasses will be offered in
the new computer lab onMonday, July 14 at 9:30a.m. and again on Tuesday,
July 15 at 7 p.m.Sadly, most people dont
keep a budget. If you askthem, they have a favoriteexcuse. People who dont
track their expenses usual-ly say, I dont have thetime, Im really bad atmath, After paying my
bills, theres no money leftto track, I dont want tothink about money, Itried once and it didnt
work, I keep track ofmoney in my head. With-out a budget, the averageU.S. consumer practices a
fairly careless, cavalierfinancial lifestyle, livingpaycheck to paycheck, sav-ing little for the future, and
accumulating a pile of per-sonal debt.
But now there is automa-tion. With a simple spread-sheet on your favorite com-puter, a budget is neitherhard nor time consuming.
This new class will give
you a second chance to putyour financial life in order.
The class will introduceparticipants to two areas of
learning. First, there willbe computer learning - abrief introduction to usinga spreadsheet. The basicfunctions needed for bud-get keeping are simple nomatter what spreadsheetprogram or computer type
you use. Well use theLibrarys Macs and anExcel spreadsheet to

Im in Meeteetse,Wyoming as I writethis. Im scheduledto do some enter-
aining after the Cody, Wyo-ing rodeo parade. Since the
motel being provided doesntbecome available until tomor-row night, I though Id savesome money by staying some-where other than Cody, dur-
ing its big rodeo weekend.So I picked Meeteetse.
Catherine and I have passedthrough here several times onour way to the gatheringthere every April, andthought it looked like an inter-
sting place. And we areight, tis a neat little western
town.
I ate supper at the Cowboybar, where they also servemeals. When I pulled in, thefirst thing I noticed was thatpickup parked ahead of mehad Montana license plates.
hen I got inside there werehree people sitting at the bar.ll from Montana. After say-
ing howdy to everyone and
talking about everything andnothing, I found out one ofhe bosses they work for just
bought a cafe in my hometown of White SulpnurSprings, Montana. Catherineoften says that people from
Montana have some sort of amagnet that draws them toone another. I guess I cantdeny it.
After eating, I walked downthe wooden sidewalk to theother open establishment, abar/restaurant. I front of itwas a trailer loaded with fivehorses, all saddled, three ofthem with lariat ropes tiedhard and fast to the saddlehorns. The other thwo hadropes on the saddles and thesaddles were different sizes,from very small, to not sosmall and a little bigger, to fullsized saddles, all well used.Inside was a family of five,Dad, Mom, a young manabout 12 or 13 and two young-er girls, the youngest about 5or 6. All had spurs, wornwranglers, and Mom and Dadand the young man had leath-
er gloves either in their hindpocket, or in the case ofMom, in her hat. All five hatswere lying beside each wear-ers chair, upside down, likethey are supposed to be.There were smiles on every
dirty, tanned face. Cowboys?Yup Id say so.
The wooden sidewalk mademe think of my home townwhen I was growing up.There is something specialabout walking on a woodensidewalk. Even lying flat onthe ground, there is a westernsound to your footsteps.
I remember Diamond
Tonys shoeshine stand along-side of the pool hall/ shootinggallery. You could smell theshoe polish and hear Tonysbroken english as he brusheda brilliant shine on someonesworn out boots, hear the .22sbeing fired, and get a wisp ofgunpowder from Sullys gal-lery. If you stopped, you hear
the clicking and clacking ofthe pool balls hitting each oth-er as someone broke therack.
On down the sidewalk wasWestern Clothing which hadwooden stairs where yourfootsteps were even louder.
I can still hear spur chainsclinking as a ranch hand
strode down those woodensidewalks.
In case you didnt know (Ididnt), Meeteetse meansmeeting of the Chiefs.

ere we are, alreadyto our national cel-ebration of the 4thof July. Its Inde-
pendence Day for all of us toenjoy with our families andfriends. Now thats a loadedword, independence. Howsthis for a definition; freefrom the influence, guid-ance, or control of another,others or somethings inyour life. Is it possible to livecompletely independent livesand not be influenced by thebad things? I bet there are anumber of things that eachof us wish we could get our-selves independent from.Could you, would you beable to become independent
from eating fatty foods, frombeing sedentary, from drink-ing alcohol, from watchingtoo much T.V., from smok-ing, from being in anunhealthy relationship, fromaddictions, etc. Maybe thisshould be the holiday wherewe make new resolutionsand make certain changes in
our lives towards becomingmore independent fromthose bad health and life-style habits. This is just athought Im having as I workon this 4th of July article.
Here are Four - 4th of Julyfacts and healthy remindersto help you survive the holi-day.
Fact 1: Did you know thatthe 4th of July is the biggestbeer drinking holiday of theyear. There is more beersold on and around this holi-day that any other holiday,its a true fact that I found ona government statistic sight.Wow, so while you celebratethis holiday Id like to
encourage you to be smart,
safe and to drink responsi-bly. Typically the 4th bringsalong barbecuing outside ona hot grill, playing with fire-works, increased eating and
socializing with good andnot-so-good friends. So becareful and dont play withanything that alcohol mightmake very dangerous toyour health and body.
Fact 2: Did you know thatthe 4th of July is the busiestday of the year for eye sur-geons and others who treat
accidental trauma injuries.There are about 8500 fire-works related injuries eachyear in the US and 2000 ofthese injuries are eye inju-ries. One-third of these inju-ries cause permanent eyedamage and one-fourthcause vision-loss or blind-ness. The most dangerous
fireworks are bottle rockets,because they fly erraticallyand often cause injuries tobystanders. The bottles andcans used to launch bottlerockets often shatter andshower fragments of glassand metal everywhere. Spar-klers cause three quarters ofthe injuries to pre-schoolers
because they find them irre-sistible and want to holdthem and touch them.
So be smart and followthese simple guidelines this4th. Never allow kids to playwith fireworks (includingsparklers) without beingsupervised by a responsibleadult. View public fireworks
from a minimum of 500 to a
quarter of a mile distance.Respect safety barriers setup by the pyrotechniciansand if you find an unexplod-ed firework, dont touch it.Remember that fireworkinjuries can be devastatingand they are preventable.
Fact 3: Its barbecue dayand with all those grills fir-ing up, comes all the fixingsand wonderful side dishesthat are not low in fat andcalories. So you need to treatthis holiday like you do anyother holiday where the cele-brating is centered aroundeating. Keep in mind thatyou dont need to over eat.Take reasonable por tions onyour plate and tr y to refrain
from going back for sec-onds, thirds or more. Planyour strategy, to bur n of f afew more calories than nor-mal on that day or the nextday. It is a holiday, so enjoythe day and all the food andget back to your normal eat-ing patterns on Sunday.
Fact 4: Are you worried
about the cancer-causingcompounds that are causedby barbecuing? A couple oftips to reduce this is to try tominimize how long the meatyou cook remains on thegrill by pre-cooking indoorsprior to finishing on the grill,also not eating any of thecharbroiled pieces of the
meat. There is evidence thatmarinating your meat canreduce the cancer-causingcompounds by acting like abarrier to the carcinogensentering the meat. Leanercuts of meat, trimmed fromtheir extra fat are also waysto reduce this problem.
I hope you have a healthy,
happy and fun 4th of July.

Afour-part filmseries celebratingsome of the mostacclaimed sci-
ence-fiction films, all basedon books, is continuing thismonth at the Estes Valley
Library. The seriesresumes on Friday, July 11at 6:30 p.m. with a screen-ing of I, Robot starringWill Smith, and based onthe famed book by Isaac
simov.Celebrating its 10th anni-
versary this summer,2004s I, Robot is inspired
by the stories in Isaac Asi-movs nine-story anthologyof the same name. In thefuture presented in the
film, humans have becomeexceedingly dependent onrobots in their everydaylives. Robots have becomemore and more advanced,but each one is prepro-grammed to always obeyhumans and to, under nocircumstances, ever harm
a human. So, when a scien-tist turns up dead and ahumanoid robot is themain suspect, the world isleft to wonder if they are assafe around their electronicservants as previouslythought. Will Smith starsas Del Spooner, a copassigned to the murder
investigation.The film is designed to
appeal to both sci-fi andnon-sci-fi fans alike. Isaac
Asimovs rules of robotsa robot can never harm ahuman, a robot must obeyall orders from a humanunless it conflicts with thefirst law, and a robot mustprotect itself unless doing
so conflicts with the firsttwo lawsare respectfullyintegrated into the action-packed story, which is bol-
stered by excellent specialeffects and by Smithscharismatic lead perfor-mance.
I, Robot is rated PG-13.The sci-fi creations in the
series were designed to be
seen on the big screen, andthe line-up offers an oppor-tunity to enjoy recent andclassic films in a new light.
Movie-goers are encour-aged to seek out the storiesbehind the films and topick up a reading log toinspire summer reading.
