Wednesday, September 23, 2020 130th Year, 18th Issue Green River, WY 82935 Address Service Requested $1.50 Absentee ballots now available By DAVID MARTIN Publisher

Sweetwater County residents wanting to vote from the comfort of their own home can request an absentee ballot from the county. “Wyoming’s citizens can begin to cast their ballots in the general election. In these unprecedented times, it is crucial that every Wyoming voter has the opportunity to safely exercise their right to vote either by absentee or in- person as outlined in Wyoming law,” Secretary of State Edward Buchanan said in a press release. Sweetwater County Clerk Cindy Lane said the ballots were made available to residents Friday, with the county sending more than 4,200 ballots to residents. Lane said her family received their ballots Monday, but recommends residents seeking an absentee ballot to give at least five days after making the request to receive a ballot. Any voter registered in Wyoming may request an absentee ballot through their county clerk as 45 days before the general election. Absentee voting continues until Nov. 2. According to the release the Secretary of State’s Office has taken precautions to allow safe and fast in-person voting at the polls on election day. Absentee ballots can be sent back to the Sweetwater County Clerk’s Office or dropped off at a special ballot box Break time located in front of the Sweetwater County Courthouse in Green River.

Wednesday, September 23, 2020 www.greenriverstar.com A9 Masks protested at Capitol By tom Coulter Wyoming Tribune Eagle Via Wyoming News Exchange

CHEYENNE – Roughly 30 Wyomingites gathered on the grounds of the state Capitol at noon Thursday to pro- test against the requirements for children to wear masks in school. The protestors came from across the state to demonstrate against school districts’ reopening plans, all of which require masks be worn when social distancing cannot be enforced. Laura Jorgensen, a main organizer of the protest, drove several hours from Fort Bridger to demonstrate. “We just would like the freedom of choice for our own kids back, and we want our local control back,” Jorgensen said. Jorgensen, along with a few others, organized the protest after forming an anti-mask Facebook group that has quickly grown to more than 4,000 members. She and several others at the rally questioned the usefulness of masks, despite many medical studies showing that wearing one can reduce the spread of COVID-19. “We understand that they’re trying to keep people safe, but the data doesn’t support it in kids, who aren’t typically spreading this,” said Jorgensen, who has a child in high school. “Mandating kids to keep a very small portion of our population safe, it’s not showing effectiveness.” Others insisted that masks are not just useless, but detri- mental to the health of school children. Roxanne Freeman, a Cheyenne resident on hand for the protest, said she was afraid to send her child to kindergarten due to the precautions. “My child comes back home saying, ‘Mommy, I don’t feel good,’ because she’s had to wear a mask all day,” Freeman said. “She’s respiratory-compromised, and she’s had to wear a mask all day because the principal won’t listen to me.” Event organizer Laura Meeks Jorgensen speaks to the crowd while holding a sign that reads “Unmask Our Some protestors carried signs critical of State Public Children!

According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, underage drinking is a serious public health problem in the United States. Alcohol is the most widely used substance of abuse among America’s youth, and drinking by young people causes multiple health and safety risks. The 2018 Prevention Needs Assessment (PNA) for Sweetwater County’s data shows that 33.5% of Sweetwater County high school students consumed alcohol within the past 30 days. Of the 33.5%, 22.29% obtained the alcohol from another person over the age of 21 and 15.25% obtained the alcohol from their parents. (https://www.pnasurvey.org/Home) Underage drinking is illegal and can cause serious harm to teens as the brain is still developing, not to mention the increased risk of teens driving impaired. According to the Alcohol and Crime report from the Wyoming Association of Sheriff s and Chiefs of Police (WASCOP), there were 30 underage DUI arrests in Sweetwater County in 2018. Sweetwater County Prevention will be running the Parents Who Host, Lose The Most: Don’t be a party to teenage drinking® campaign to educate parents and individuals over the age of 21 about the health and safety risks associated with serving alcohol at teen house parties and increases awareness of and compliance with state underage drinking laws.Have a conversation with your teen today about the dangers of underage drinking!
