THERMOPOLIS — Roland Luehne
has worked for the Star Plunge in Thermopolis for 40 years now, serving as the
owner of the establishment for the past
three years. Luehne recently submitted a
proposal for the expansion of the local attraction to the state.
“We get people from all over the world
that come here year round,” said Luehne.
He added, “An expansion to the park
would benefit the community as a whole.
It will be good for Thermopolis and Hot
Springs County. Everyone will benefit,
from the other hotels to the restaurants,
gas stations, camp grounds, everybody. It
will increase our tax revenues in the millions of dollars. Money we can use for all
kinds of things that benefit everybody.”
The proposed expansion of the Star
Plunge that is located in the Hot Springs
State Park includes a 100-room luxury hotel, additional splash park, wave pool, two
new parking lots, and a Starbuck’s-like
restaurant.
Parking has always been a problem in
Hot Springs State Park, according to Luehne. The 108 additional parking spaces
in the proposal would eliminate a longtime issue.

Judge looks for fresh, clean flowers
By Taylor Maya
Staff Writer
WORLAND — The 30th annual flower show at the Washakie County Fair
was in full swing Wednesday afternoon
as more than 100 flowers were being
judged.
Flower show supervisor Jane
O’Connor said the flower show started
in 1985 and she has been the supervisor
for 10 years.
O’Connor said that all flowers that
are entered into the competition must
be home grown. The sections of competition available are annuals, perennials,
herbs, roses, limbs and house plants.
According to O’Connor, there are 68
annuals and 55 perennials entered into
the flower show this year. “The entries
held their own from last year. The most
popular flowers are marigolds, coreopsis, petunias, Rebeccas and Indian blanket because they all grow well here,” she
said.
The flower show has two other
events including still life and table setting. O’Connor said, “I am delighted
there are three designs and table settings this year. I love to see people’s interpretations.”
These competition areas are professionally judged and this year the judge
was Stacy O’Brian from Billings, Montana. “I look for fresh and clean flowers.
I make sure the petals aren’t discolored
or weak.”
O’Connor said she is pleased with
the show this year, especially since it is
in a new location. “We are now in the
front of the conference building and we
have a new setup. It is an easier display.
It’s very showy and colorful in here.”
Next year O’Connor would like to see
more entries.
She said, “There are beautiful gardens in Worland and I would love to see
people enter one or more of the flowers
from their gardens.”
Fair provides Big Horn County opportunity to showcase new facility
By Karla Pomeroy
Editor
The 2015 Big Horn County Fair
officially opened Monday with the
horse show, the first event in the
new indoor multi-purpose facility.
Fair Manager Vangi Hackney
said, “We’re excited to showcase
the new facility with all the livestock shows and the horse halter
show.” The Junior Livestock Sale
will also be held in the new building Friday night.
According to a Big Horn County
Fair Board news release, the new
multi-purpose building is located
between the Big Horn REA Arena
and the main fair building and
office. The building is officially
named the Big Horn REA/Basin
Electric Power Cooperative MultiPurpose Building at the county
fairgrounds on the south side of
Basin.
The building features an indoor
arena, a shower area for those
staying at the campground on the
fairgrounds, a concession stand,
restrooms and a wash rack for animals be shown by 4-H, FFA and
others.
Temporary bleachers were set
up for the horse show on Monday
for spectators of the show and will
be set up for all of the shows and
livestock sale on Friday.
Fair Board Vice President Andy
Perkins said, “It turned out really
nice. It’s almost more than I envisioned. I’m very pleased with how
it came through. I’ve heard nothing but positive comments from
the public at fair.”
Perkins said the “donors have
helped us tremendously and Synergy Construction was real easy to
work with. They went out of their
way to get it done for us.
Fair Board Treasurer Casey Sorenson said the building cost just
under $1.2 million.
He said, “It’s nice to see it be
used for the first time essentially

more utilized. We still got a lot left
to do to make this as usable as we
can.”
The next phase the fair board
will be working on is construc-
tion a lean-to on the side to house
the swine during fair, extending
the heating and cooling system
and purchasing rodeo equipment.
Estimated cost, Sorenson said, is
about $1.5 million. He said they
are seeking grant funding for the
next phase.
“This is just the start of a long
process. If we do it right we will
continue to improve the building,”
he said. Long-term plans also include multi-purpose flooring.
The facility
According to the release, “The
new building will offer a reliable
alternative to Wyoming’s often
unpredictable weather and will
it possible to offer multi-week,
scheduled programs when weather might otherwise cause cancellations.
The new building is 130-foot by
180-foot with future plans to extend the building, according to the
release. The arena is 110-foot by
180-foot free span with a 20-foot
by 180-foot lean-to along one side
for the restrooms, concession area
that includes three picnic tables
and the livestock wash rack.
The building includes heating
and cooling system in the restroom area.
Usage
Big Horn County Commissioner and former fair board member
Felix Carrizales said, “I’m excited
to have the building up. It’s been
in the works for a long time. It’s
good that it’s up and being used.
I hope it’s going to benefit the
people of having some of these
shows inside where there is shade.
And hopefully that building is offering a cooler atmosphere that we
were all looking for, temperature
wise, for the people in attendance
and those involved in the shows.”
Carrizales said the facility has
garnered interest from more than
just horse-related events.

“Since this is leased land, a
loan would come through the state
(of Wyoming). This loan would be
paid back by me. It would be in
the state’s best interest and help
everyone out,” said Luehne.
Construction would take a projected two years, according to Luehne. Luehne is forming a master-
plan for the project, and architect
renderings of the project show a
dramatic increase to the existing
structure, including the rerouting
of the current road.
“This would be a year-round
attraction that will continually
draw people to the area,” said Luehne.
He said the fair board has reported that people are interested
in doing car shows and recreational sports events like volleyball
tournaments.
“I was kind of excited about
that,” he said.
Hackney said she has also had
a call about doing a ranch and
farm equipment show in the building.
“Being one of those on the prior
board and having been involved
and all the things we went through
– I hope the public now will stand
behind it now that we have it; and
fully support it, as well as we all
need to,” Carrizales said.
He added, “I hope all the public will support it, use it and take
advantage of what we do have
now; what we’ve been helped with
to get it built. That building was
built, on the most part on grants
(State Loan and Investment
Board, Daniel’s Fund and county
consensus block grant) and donations, we need to be grateful to the
people who have given that money
to do that now that we can use it.”
Hackney said the board will be
revising costs for renting the facility at the next meeting, Aug. 3.
Anyone interested in more information about the facility may
contact the fair office at 568-2968.
There were three other campers initially included in reports
but were not on site, it is unknown
if they were never there or just
moved, according to the release.
There were no injuries or fatalities associated with the severe
weather event.
The event was caused by a cold
front that came through the area
Monday.
“A significant amount of instability, moisture, lift and spin were
present in the atmosphere across
northern Wyoming on Monday.
This creates an environment favorable for straight-line winds,
microbursts and tornadoes,” according to the National Weather
Service.
Officials with the weather service observed the downed trees
lying in the same direction. Trees
lying in the same direction is indicative of straight-line winds.
The damage was not consistent
with a tornado.
According to the weather service, downed trees consistent with
a tornado lie in a twisting pattern.
Downed trees consistent with a
downburst lie in a divergent pattern.
“It doesn’t take a tornado to
cause extensive damage to property or trees. Straight-line thunderstorm winds and downburst winds
can do just as much damage and
can exceed 125 mph,” according to
the NWS.
CHEYENNE — A three-vehicle
crash on July 28 has resulted in
the death of 78-year-old Lovell,
resident Dorothy B. Winterholler.
The crash occurred at 5:25 p.m.
on US Highway 14A at mile post
49 approximately three miles east
of Lovell.
Winterholler was driving a
2014 Cadillac SRX eastbound
on US 14A. Jose Rivera-Lopez,
a 40-year-old resident of Byron,
Wyoming, was westbound driving
a 2007 Peterbilt straight truck.
The driver’s side rear set of dual
tires came off of the Peterbilt
causing one of the tires to cross
into the eastbound lane. Winterholler reacted by steering to the
left to avoid the tire but the tire
still impacted the Cadillac. After
impact with the tire, the Cadillac
crossed into the westbound lane
and crashed with a westbound
2013 Chevrolet Suburban.
Winterholler and the occupants of the Suburban were all
transported to the North Big Horn
Hospital in Lovell by ground ambulance. Rivera-Lopez did not sustain any injury. Winterholler succumbed to her injuries from the
crash while at the hospital. Both
Winterholler and Rivera-Lopez
were wearing their seat belts at
the time of the crash. The occupants of the Suburban have yet
to be identified at the time of this
release.
The crash did cause a temporary closure of US 14A.
Equipment failure is being investigated as the contributing
factor in this crash. Charges are
pending as the investigation continues.

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A
man who was stopped along a road
on Montana’s Crow Indian Reservation gunned down a family who
tried to help him Wednesday, killing the couple and wounding their

The FBI confirmed that two people were killed and a third injured
by gunfire in Pryor, a town of just
over 600 people in southern Montana. A suspect was arrested hours

injured, killed
at Cheyenne
Frontier Days
CHEYENNE (AP) — Organizers say new safety measures are
responsible for a drop in animal
injuries and deaths at Cheyenne
Frontier Days.
The Wyoming Tribune Eagle reports two fewer animals died during the festival this year compared
to 2014 and veterinarians treated
34 animals for injuries, a reduction of almost 59 percent.
Public affairs chairman Bob
Budd and CEO Tom Hirsig say
the arena for the 10-day festival
was set up to reduce risk. Lighter
calves with more experience were
used in the tie-down roping event
as well.
“This is the direction we want
to go,” Budd said. “We’ve said all
along that our highest priority is
to reduce or eliminate (injuries
and deaths). But our goal is always zero.”
Michael Koblisha is an investigator with Showing Animals Respect and Kindness, a group that
posted three videos to its website
of events that he says should have
ended when the calf was injured.
“Once that animal is injured,
that is when that event should
stop,” he said. “They should get the
animal treated or euthanize it.”
Budd said one of those events
should have been stopped.
“I think you have to chalk that
one up and admit that we made a
mistake,” he said.
later in Wyoming, FBI spokesman
Todd Palmer said.
Palmer could not say what led to
the shooting and did not release details about the victims or gunman.
Bryce Hugs, of Pryor, told The
Billings Gazette that his aunt,
Tana Shane, drove by a man who
had run out of gas just south of
town. Shane picked up her husband, Jason, and daughter, Jora,
and returned to help, Hugs said.
“(He) killed both of them and
then shot the daughter,” Hugs told
the newspaper. “It grazed her in the
head, and when she took off, (he)
shot her in the back.”
Hugs did not immediately return messages from The Associated
Press.
A man named Jesus Deniz was
apprehended near Meeteetse, Wyoming, and was being held in “investigatory custody for another agency” in the Park County Detention
Center, according to the Gazette.
Park County sheriff’s spokesman Lance Mathess said his agency has been instructed by the FBI
and Bureau of Indian Affairs not to
release any information on Deniz.
An officer spoke briefly with the
wounded person, who was reportedly incoherent when taken to a
hospital, Big Horn County Undersheriff Bart Elliott said.
“The victim that was transported to the emergency room really
doesn’t know what’s going on,” Elliott said.
Sheriff’s deputies responded to
a 911 call about the shooting, along
with officials from the Montana
Highway Patrol, FBI and Montana
Fish, Wildlife and Parks.

or life imprisonment if he is convicted in state court. A federal indictment announced last week threatens
him with the same penalties, although
you can’t kill a man more than once or
lock him up for more than a lifetime.
What looks like a redundant prosecution is in fact something worse.
It is an unconstitutional attempt to
federalize a crime that South Carolina’s courts are perfectly capable of
handling on their own, for the sake of
sending a message that the criminal
law should not be used to send.
The New York Times reports that
“Justice Department and FBI officials
have said the Charleston shooting was
Jacob Sullum
so horrific and racially motivated that
the federal government must address
it.” The Times notes that “South Carolina does not have a hate crime
law,” adding that “federal officials have said they believe that a murder
case alone would leave the racial component of the crime unaddressed.”
In other words, by charging Roof with murdering people “because of
their actual and perceived race and color,” the Justice Department condemns his benighted beliefs, as well as his appalling actions. The Times
notes that the evidence against Roof includes his “racist Internet manifesto,” as well as his anti-black comments as he shot the parishioners at
the church.
Because Roof already faces the maximum penalty under state law,
he can hardly receive extra punishment for his bigotry. But defendants
in less serious cases can and do: An assault that might be punished by
a year or two in prison under state law can trigger a sentence up to 10
years under the federal hate crime statute if the defendant has a history
of writing or saying racist stuff.
In fact, the offender in such a case can be punished twice for the same
crime, once under state law and again under federal law. And if he happens to be acquitted in state court, he can be tried again in federal court.
This sort of serial prosecution looks an awful lot like double jeopardy, which is prohibited by the Fifth Amendment. But according to the
Supreme Court, it is merely “dual sovereignty”: The same action is two
crimes, one for each government that has jurisdiction.
You may wonder where Congress got the authority to federalize a
crime based on the nasty opinions expressed by the person who committed it. The provision under which Roof was charged, which applies
to cases where the victim was chosen because of his “actual or perceived
race, color, religion or national origin,” is supposedly authorized by the
13th Amendment.
If you do not understand how the constitutional ban on slavery applies to someone who punches an African-American or a Latino while
shouting a racial epithet, or to someone who specializes in mugging
Jews because he figures they have a lot of money, you are not alone.
As the Cato Institute and the Reason Foundation (my employer) noted
in a 2013 Supreme Court brief, the provision cited in Roof ’s federal indictment “does not prohibit slavery or involuntary servitude”; “nor is it
a prophylactic measure intended to assist in preventing the return of
slavery or involuntary servitude.”
The constitutional rationale for another provision of the federal hate
crime law, covering crimes in which the victims were selected because of
their “gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability,” is even
less plausible. All it takes to make a federal case out of such crimes is a
weapon “that has traveled in interstate or foreign commerce.”
The farcical justifications for the federal hate crime statute are especially troubling because there is no reason to think the offenders it
covers would otherwise go unpunished. If the Charleston massacre is
exactly the sort of crime the law was meant to address, that just shows
how gratuitous the law is.

Organ donations help wounded warriors
Dear Editor,
The recent case of an 8-year-old boy receiving
transplanted hands points to the start of a new
phase in medical treatment. Both his hands and
feet had been amputated earlier in his life due
to an infection. In his case, it was not that the
surgery couldn’t be done, but it was because they
could not find a donor.
During a commencement speech at the University of Idaho three years ago, the comman-
dant of the Marine Corps mentioned that this
same type of limb replacement surgery will
move to the forefront of medical treatment for
our wounded warriors who I am sure are suffering both physically and physiologically from
this type of injury. Due to recent hand surgery,
which left me with very little use of my left hand,
I found it difficult to perform the most menial
task such as putting on socks or other clothing.
Try tying your shoes with only one hand and you
will see what I mean.
Our wounded warriors deserve this type of
medical treatment and the treatment should be
done at the total expense of the government. I
would encourage anyone who hasn’t, to sign up
to become an organ donor and help restore mobility to our very precious wounded warriors who
sacrificed their bodies to protect our freedom.

Not all Christians desire war; some like diplomacy
Dear Editor:
In response to the recent guest column about
the Iran nuclear agreement, I must ask why is
it that those wishing to bomb other countries
assume that those not desiring war are not
Christian? My understanding of Jesus Christ
is that he lived and preached peace, not war.
Scientists who negotiate nuclear treaties
use the term “break-out times.” Here is what
that means: If a country decides overnight to
manufacture a nuclear weapon as quickly as
possible (that is, “break out” from any agreements not to build nuclear weapons), how fast
could that goal be accomplished? The current
situation in Iran puts that break-out time at
two to three months. Once the agreement we
have made is fully implemented, that break-
out time will be extended to one year. Iran is
committing to giving up 70 percent of their gas
centrifuges including all their modern ones,
their plutonium and plutonium reactor core,
and most of their enriched uranium. These are
significant concessions and do not represent a
“surrender” by the United States, the current
Big Lie talking point promulgated by the right.
The key to this agreement is verification.
Granddaddy used to say, “When you’re playing
poker, trust everyone but always cut the cards.”
Iran will not be able to manufacture nuclear
weapons without detection under this agreement, and the penalty for trying to do so will
be the immediate reinstitution of the crippling
sanctions which originally motivated Iran to
begin negotiations.
Tom Cotton (R) Oklahoma has previously
distinguished himself by writing to the chief
Ayatollah in Iran (America’s sworn enemy) to
say that America under Republicans would not
live up to its commitments. If a Democratic
senator had done this to a Republican president, he would have been pilloried as a traitor
and rightly so.
Finally, I remember the lies about Iraq’s
(non-existent) nuclear program 13 years ago,
which were used to trick the American people
into an unjust war to steal Iraq’s oil. We haven’t
the right bomb countries just because we don’t
like their policies. History teaches that evil actions have evil consequences.

Does supporting gay
marriage make you gay?
Annie’s Mailbox
Kathy Mitchell and

Dear Annie: Yesterday, I had
an argument with my 85-year-old
mother. She said I must be a lesbian because of my recent Facebook posts in support of all my gay
friends and the Supreme Court
decision upholding gay marriage.
Specifically, I changed my photo so
it was colored in beautiful rainbow
shades.
My mother was appalled that
I was supporting “those people”
and demanded that I change my
picture. She said she was embarrassed and claimed that all of her
friends were calling her to ask
whether I was gay. This was a lie
and she admitted it. Then she said
she does not support gay people
and I should support them in more
private ways. I told her I am 50
years old, not 10, and these are my
choices. If she doesn’t like it, she
doesn’t have to look at my Facebook page.
I have never felt comfortable
having my mother as a friend on
Facebook. I want to un-friend her,
but I’d feel guilty. She has always
been this way, and frankly, I’m
fed up. She has other friends and
family on Facebook, so it’s not as

Chiefs safety Eric Berry back at practice after cancer ght
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) —
There was a moment in the early
stages of chemotherapy when
Eric Berry was having breakfast
with his father, and the enormity
of what faced him was so great
that he broke down and cried.
For 30 minutes, one of the
toughest players on the Kansas
City Chiefs wept.
Then, he resolved to beat cancer.
Eight months later, Berry walked triumphantly onto
the practice fields at Missouri
Western State University, joining rookies and select veterans
Wednesday for the start of training camp.
Six merciless rounds of draining, debilitating drugs had rid his
body of Hodgkin’s lymphoma, but
they had also stoked the passion
that Berry still harbors for the
game.
“It’s been a roller coaster,” he
said, “but I wouldn’t change it for
the world.”
Flanked by his father, James,
and his mother, Carol, Berry
spoke publicly for the first time
since he was diagnosed with cancer last December. He recalled
the terror that gripped him when
the mass was first found in his
chest, and the dark days that immediately followed.
The days he didn’t want to get
out of bed. The days he struggled
to choke down food, all of it tasteless. The seemingly endless trips
to the hospital for each round of
treatment.
“In the beginning it was hard,
it really was,” James Berry said.
“Those possibilities go through
your mind — ‘What if he can’t
play again?’ You think of those
types of things, but then you kick
those to the side. And when you
looked at Eric you said, ‘This guy
is a fighter.’”
Such a fighter that he chose to
receive treatment through an IV
rather than a PICC line, a semipermanent catheter that would
have prevented him from training.
the trenches with me, day in and
day out, making sure I had everything I needed.”
The Chiefs are cautiously optimistic Berry will be ready for the
regular season, and such a rapid
return would not be without precedent: Reid said they looked at
case studies involving other athletes, such as Mario Lemieux, in
deciding how to proceed.
The Hall of Fame hockey player was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s
lymphoma in 1993, went through
a similar course of treatment and
returned to finish his career with
the Pittsburgh Penguins.
There is plenty of work ahead
for Berry.
But on a warm, humid morning in northwest Missouri, as he
trotted out of the locker room, he
had already surpassed nearly all
expectations.
“At the beginning, you kind of
put football aside. Your mind goes
to, ‘Hey, we’re hoping and praying
he can be healthy and live a good
life,’” Reid said. “Anything else is
icing on the cake.”

Eric Berry
Between each round of chemo,
Berry would squeeze in 10 to 12
workouts, sometimes struggling
just to do five push-ups. But he
never lost sight of an audacious
goal: Be back with the Chiefs by
the time their season opens Sept.
13 in Houston.
“Everybody wants you to be
strong in this situation,” Berry
said, “but you can’t be strong every day. If you want to be mad
today, be mad. If you want to be
sad, be sad. But the thing is, don’t
stay that way. Get it out of your
system and go back to work.”
Berry passed a battery of tests
before he was cleared to practice
late Tuesday, but it remains unclear when he’ll fully participate
in practice. Chiefs trainer Rick
Burkholder said Berry will be
monitored constantly, especially
during the early portion of camp.
Veterans report Friday. The
first full-squad workout is Saturday.
“One of the things Eric and I
talked about was just being hon-
est with us about how you’re feeling out here,” coach Andy Reid
said, “and sometimes that’s hard
for a player to do, especially with
his makeup. He’s been great with
that up to this point and I think
that will continue through.”
After all, he’s in a much better
place than he was eight months
ago.
The three-time Pro Bowler
first knew something was amiss
in November, when he felt oddly
out of breath after a couple of
games.
When things got worse during
a game against Oakland, Berry
was put through a series of tests
that revealed a mass in his chest.
The diagnosis was Hodgkin’s
lymphoma, a treatable form of
cancer that affects about 9,000
people in the U.S. each year.
His treatment began Dec. 10
at Emory University’s Winship
Cancer Institute, near his home
in Atlanta.
And it wasn’t easy: “It literally feels like you’re dying,” Berry
recalled, “but you’re not really
battling chemo, you’re battling
yourself the whole time. It was
me versus me.”
The final round of treatment
was May 13, followed by a month
of recovery.
“He tolerated chemotherapy
extremely well,” said Dr. Christopher R. Flowers, who directs the
cancer institute’s lymphoma program. “He achieved a complete
response to treatment.”
On June 22, a follow-up PET
scan showed Berry was cancerfree.
The Chiefs had just finished
their mandatory minicamp, so
he headed to Florida, where he
trained with teammates. Then
last week, Berry headed back to
Kansas City for another round of
testing to make sure he was in
football condition.
“It was a battle, every day, to
the point where I had to set goals
to get out of bed,” he said. “But I
had a great support system, between my mom and dad being in
Adrian Peterson back in pads, moving forward with Vikings
MANKATO, Minn. (AP) — Adrian Peterson
burst through the line of scrimmage and veered
toward the sideline as he headed up the field.
Safety Robert Blanton had the Minnesota
Vikings running back in his sights and eased
off the throttle as he went in to “thud” Peterson, looking to deliver a cordial bump during
the team’s first training camp practice with
players in pads. To Blanton’s surprise, Peterson
lowered his shoulder and delivered a jolt to the
fourth-year defensive back.
Most veterans dread the early days of camp
and the first few hits that open the door to six
months filled with jarring blows, aches and
pains.
Not Peterson. He hadn’t felt the pop of the
pads for more than 10 months, an exile brought
on by child abuse allegations against him. With
the case settled, his punishment over, his contract situation resolved and fans welcoming
him back to the field, Peterson couldn’t help
but be a little eager to finally get back to the
business of football.
“I’ve been looking forward to it for a long
time,” said Peterson, who missed the final 15
games of last season. “It was good to get the
first day down. I feel comfortable. I didn’t feel
sluggish or weighed down because of the pads.
I felt pretty good.”
Vikings owner Mark Wilf said he was only
too happy to see Peterson back on the field with
a smile on his face after so much drama surrounding the team and its star player.
“Obviously he’s a unique talent and a good
person,” Wilf said. “We’re happy he’s here playing for us. We can’t wait for the season to get
going here.”
There were times in the offseason that it
appeared like Peterson could be parting ways
with the only NFL franchise for which he has
played.
A perceived lack of support from some in the
organization, and the criticism that was heaped
upon him by many fans and media when the allegations first surfaced, had Peterson thinking
that it was time to move on.
But he was still under contract and the Vikings refused to entertain the idea of trading a
player they believe can resume his role as the
focal point of the offense, even as he passes the
30-year-old milestone that has spelled the beginning of the end for so many running backs
before him.
As a show of faith, the Vikings also restructured Peterson’s contract to guarantee him $7
million next season in case of injury. It was the
last in a series of efforts by the organization to
smooth things over heading into a season with
high expectations.
“He’s had a long history here with the Vikings and the community,” Wilf said. “We know
what kind of person he is. That’s all in the rearview mirror as far as some of that stuff goes
and we’re looking forward to him being a big
part of our team going forward.”
While Peterson occasionally had doubts
about the support he had in the front office, his
confidence in his teammates never wavered.
Throughout the last 10 months, not one Vikings player has gone on the record to express
any reservations about Peterson, which has allowed him to step right back into a leadership
role on the team.
“I don’t think it ever left,” Peterson said
about his status in the locker room. “That’s
the thing about the family I’m surrounded by.
These guys, they’ve been supporting me. Such
an unfortunate situation.
“But when it’s family and they know you,”
he said, looking at a throng of media surrounding him, “some of you guys, I don’t know you so
I wouldn’t pass judgment based off what I’ve
heard or what I’ve seen if I didn’t know what
type of person you are.
“That’s just the type of world we live in.
These guys, they know me. They know what
I’m made of.”
American Pharoah arrives at Monmouth for Sunday’s Haskell
OCEANPORT, N.J. (AP) — Triple Crown winner American Pharoah
received star treatment as he arrived to prepare for the $1.75 million
Haskell Invitational on Sunday at Monmouth Park.
After landing at Atlantic City airport, racing’s biggest attraction was
led off the plane, then escorted by New Jersey State troopers for the final
leg of the journey. The van he was loaded into was decked out like Taylor
Swift’s tour bus with his name splashed across the side.
A cluster of reporters awaited him when the van pulled into the Monmouth barn area shortly after 4 p.m.
As usual, American Pharoah was cool and collected, even on a blazingly hot afternoon on the Jersey Shore. He calmly stepped off the van,
took two short turns outside the barn where he will reside through the
race before heading into the shade for a bath and a nap.
It was the end of a long day that started at 1:30 a.m. at trainer Bob
Baffert’s barn at Del Mar where the colt was loaded onto a van for the
trip to the airport in Ontario, California for the flight east. The plane
made one stop in Kentucky before continuing to New Jersey.
“It’s a long trip,” said Jimmy Barnes, Baffert’s assistant who accompanied American Pharoah. “The trip went very smooth. He’s a professional. He always ships good. He makes it so easy for all of us. That’s
what makes him so unique.”
The appearance by American Pharoah in the Haskell is the most eagerly anticipated stakes in the New Jersey racing history.
Monmouth sweetened the purse by $750,000 earlier Wednesday for
the 1 1/8-mile race for 3-year-olds.
The purse has been $1 million since 1997, but increases were made
when champions Point Given in 2001 and Rachel Alexandra in 2009 appeared in the race.
A record crowd nearing 60,000 is expected for the Haskell.
American Pharoah swept the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes to become the first Triple Crown winner in 37 years.
This will be his first race since the Belmont in early June. American Pharoah completed his major training in California. His final timed
workout was a half mile in 48.80 seconds Tuesday morning at Del Mar.
The colt with the short tail will have easy gallops here on the three
mornings leading up to race day.
“It feels good coming here this strong,” Barnes said. “We’ve always
come strong in the past, but this year we are really strong.”

BLONDIE
WALL STREET —
NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks rose on
Wednesday after Federal Reserve policymakers voted to keep interest rates unchanged and

The Dow Jones industrial average rose
121.12 points, or 0.7 percent, to 17,751.39. The
Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 15.32 points,
or 0.7 percent, to 2,108.57 and the Nasdaq
composite rose 22.53 points, or 0.4 percent, to
5,111.73.
The Fed said the U.S. economy continues
to improve in numerous aspects, but signaled
that it wants to see further economic gains
and higher inflation before raising rates. Many
investors expect the Fed will still lift rates in
September or December, but its statement gave
no timing for the raise.
Low interest rates have been good for stock
investors, helping fuel a bull market that has
lasted more than six years.
“Yeah, the economy is improving, but they
are not really saying that the economy is taking off here,” said Tom di Galoma, head of rates
trading at ED&F Man Capital. “If the Fed
doesn’t raise rates in September, I think we’re
looking at some time mid next year.”
There are several reasons why the Fed could
stand pat on interest rates, from the recent
distress in China’s stock market to the falling
prices of commodities this year, which will help
keep a lid on inflation.
Bond investors seemed to agree with the
idea that the Fed was in no rush to raise rates.
Bonds rose, pushing the benchmark 10-year
Treasury note traded at a yield of 2.27 compared with the nearly 2.30 percent before the
Fed statement.
Investors had a second day of relative calm
in the Chinese stock market. China’s Shanghai Composite Index rebounded 3.4 percent to
close at 3,969.40 after flitting between gains
and losses for most of the day. Alarm over the
sharp fall in Chinese shares has abated somewhat as the Shanghai index has steadied following Monday’s 8.5 percent dive.
A strong batch of corporate earnings also
helped lift the market. Gilead Sciences rose
$2.64, or 2.3 percent, to $115.71. The company’s profits jumped 23 percent from a year
ago, helped by its new blockbuster hepatitis C
medicine Harvoni. The company also raised its
2015 forecasts.
Northrop Grumman led defense companies
higher after it posted a stronger-than-expected profit in the second quarter and raised its
outlook for the year. Northrop’s stock jumped
$10.10, or 6.2 percent, to $173.44, its biggest
one-day gain in at least five years.
The euro fell to $1.0989 from $1.1068. The
dollar rose to 123.94 Japanese yen from 123.57
yen.
Precious and industrial metals futures
ended mixed. Gold fell $3.60 to $1,092.60 an
ounce, silver rose 10 cents to $14.73 an ounce
and copper edged up less than a penny to $2.41
a pound.
OIL PRICES —
In other markets, the price of U.S. crude
rose Wednesday after the government reported
a surprise drop in oil inventories and oil production. Benchmark U.S. crude rose 81 cents
to close at $48.79 a barrel in New York. Brent
crude, a benchmark for international oils used
by many U.S. refineries, rose 8 cents to close at
$53.38 in London.
In other futures trading on the NYMEX,
wholesale gasoline rose 1.9 cents to close at
$1.822 a gallon. Heating oil fell 0.6 cent to close
at $1.598 a gallon. Natural gas rose 6.5 cents to

Stolen
underwear leads
to 2-state chase
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Police
say a man who led officers on a
wild two-hour chase spanning two
states had been facing charges of
stealing $21 worth of underwear
from a supermarket.
Police records show 54-year-old
Robert Ritter was accused of stealing a pack of underwear and a
package of T-shirts on July 9 from
a supermarket in Brooklawn, New
Jersey. Authorities say he also
shoved a security officer.
He also faces stalking charges
in Gloucester Township, New Jersey.
Ritter had two warrants out for
his arrest, and police spotted his
van Monday night. Ritter drove
into Philadelphia, back into New
Jersey, and then back into Philadelphia.
The pursuit ended in Philadelphia when a police car bumped the
van, causing it to flip over.
It wasn’t immediately clear
Tuesday whether Ritter had an attorney.
Cat found alive
aboard sunken
boat
LAKE HAVASU CITY, Ariz.
(AP) — A trapped, hungry, wet and
scared cat is now safe after it was
found tucked away in a boat that
had sank to the bottom of Lake
Havasu.
Today’s News-Herald reports
the brown-and-black American
shorthair breed was found when
the boat was brought ashore by
Dive Time Recovery owner John
Zucalla.
It’s unclear who the cat belongs
to, if anyone, and Western Arizona
Humane Society workers named
the cat River.
Zucalla says River had been
in the water for at least an hour
and was alive, though frightened,
when she was spotted in a front
storage compartment.
He said the cat must have
stowed away sometime before boat
owner Genaro Rudaldava left Orange County, California.
Rudaldava said River wasn’t
his cat. If owners don’t step for-

Soup kitchen
offers free meal
for return of
Jesus statue
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) —
Winning another national championship has made Urban Meyer a
butter man.
The Ohio State University football coach and Buckeyes mascot
Brutus are being honored with
butter sculptures at this year’s
Ohio State Fair, which opens
Wednesday in Columbus.
The life-size sculptures are joining the traditional butter cow and
calf in a 46-degree cooler in the
American Dairy Association display. There’s also a national championship trophy and two Buckeyes
football helmets. All made out of
butter. About 2,000 pounds of it.
The display required about 500
hours of work. Wooden and steel
frames were built to support the
weight of the butter, which was
sliced from 55-pound blocks. The
butter was sculpted inside the
chilly cooler.
The university says Meyer was
unable to attend the Tuesday unveiling.
PAWTUCKET, R.I. (AP) —
“Have you found Jesus?” That’s
what employees at a Rhode Island
soup kitchen are asking after a
religious statue disappeared from
the kitchen’s garden.
Pawtucket Soup Kitchen Director Adrienne Marchetti says on
Wednesday that she last saw the
statue, which depicts Joseph carrying the baby Jesus, on July 20.
Marchetti says the kitchen staff
will take back the statue, no questions asked, and even offer a free
meal to the person who returns it.
Marchetti says the 3-foot statue
is made of plaster or a similar material and is not valuable.
She says the statue inspires
the volunteers at the kitchen and
brings “good mojo” to the garden
where it has sat for 6 years.
Marchetti says it’s possible
someone took it to repair Joseph’s
head, which was coming loose.
Lifetime
hunting,
fishing license
for N.H. baby
Man says he
petted zoo
cougars after
calling ‘Here, kitty’
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — A
6-month-old New Hampshire boy
has become the first child to get
a newborn hunting and fishing license in the state.
Daylen Brickley’s grandfather
read about the state program in
a hunting and fishing magazine.
The family from Milford bought
the license July 23, the first day it
was available.
New Hampshire Fish and
Game officials are offering a lifetime, combined hunting and fishing license that can be purchased
for those under a year old.
Daylen will be able to redeem
his fishing license when he turns
16 and redeem his hunting license
after he completes the state’s
DELAWARE, Ohio (AP) — A
man who jumped a fence to pet
cougars at the Columbus zoo and
posted video of it on YouTube says
he jokingly called “Here, kitty” and
moved closer when the animals
seemed to respond.
Joshua Newell of suburban Gahanna pleaded no contest Wednesday to a misdemeanor criminal
trespassing charge and was found
guilty.
He was sentenced to four days
in jail, with two of those suspended, and fined $200 plus other costs
in Delaware Municipal Court,
north of Columbus.
He left court wearing a T-shirt
printed with the words “Cougar
Love,” WBNS-TV reported.
