New mine could create more than 200 jobs
BY TRACEE DAVIS
THE SHERIDAN PRESS
SHERIDAN — Last month, the Kentucky-based
Ramaco, LLC, announced plans to open a coal mine
between Sheridan and Ranchester. The endeavor represents an economic opportunity for the local economy, but also a pioneer effort to bring Appalachian
mining techniques to Wyoming.
Initial mining plans for the proposed Brook Mine,
which will be located in an area near the existing
Acme exit of Interstate 90, are to use a "highwall"
mining technique to excavate coal. Ramaco CEO
Randall Atkins said he hopes to create between 200
and 225 high-paying jobs — foremen, engineers, etc.
— when the mine opens in a few years.
The proposed mine encompasses approximately
15,000 acres of mostly private land acquired by
Ramaco in 2011. The proposed site also includes a
swath of land that will remain undisturbed because
it contains a historic floodplain. With environmental
considerations aside, Atkins said he aims to mine 6-8
million tons of coal per year.
"It turns out there's a whole lot of coal here,"
Atkins said, suggesting the previous land owner may
have underestimated the fossil fuel resources on the
land. "We've got almost 1.1 billion tons of coal."
The vast majority of the mine land — 90 percent —
is privately owned by Ramaco.
Ramaco's business plan's profitability hinges on
both a relatively low-cost mining technique and the
fact that the mine will not be required to pay federal
bonuses or royalties.

celebrating
decades of theater

THE SHERIDAN PRESS
SHERIDAN — Spend 20
years doing anything you
enjoy and the time will fly
past. Just ask Richard and
Tami Davis of Tandem
Productions this month as
they celebrate two decades
of children’s theater.
“We never dreamed we’d
be doing it this long,” Tami
Davis told The Sheridan
Press on Monday.
She had codirected a production for the Civic
Theater Guild for children
21 years ago, but the following summer the group
decided to stop offering the
program for children.
“We had just gotten a
bunch of kids interested, so
we thought ‘What a
shame,’” Davis said. “So we
thought ‘We could start a
nonprofit and do that.’”
Davis said she and her
husband have always supported theater in the community, so they moved forward with creating the nonprofit Tandem Productions.
When the group first
started, approximately 20-30
kids would tryout for the
play and each got a part.
This year, Davis said, 97
kids auditioned and 68 will
participate in the production of “Annie Jr.” set to
open Wednesday night at
the WYO Theater and run
through Saturday.
“We’ve done this play
twice before,” Davis said.
“We’re having an alumni
reunion for any kids who
were ever in Tandem, so we
have some coming in from
out of town.
“We thought it would be a
fun way to celebrate and
feel old when they all come
back with their kids,” Davis
laughed.
Current and former Tandem Production participants, from left, Danielle
Burgess Law, Ava Johannesmeyer and Melissa Brackley each played or
will play the role of Miss Hannigan in productions of "Annie Jr." Law
played the role in 2004, while Johannesmeyer will play the role this year
and Brackley played the role in 1999.

City adopts two year
budget for first time

FMHS teacher Mick Wiest, Sheridan College President Paul
Young, SC Interim Vice President of Academic Affairs Sue
Belish and FMHS parents and students.
Some members of the committee visited charter schools in
Montana and learned best practices from Big Picture High
School in Durango, Colorado, and the San Diego Met in
California.
The district requested funding through the School
Improvement Grant for travel, study and implementation
costs.
SHERIDAN — The city of Sheridan, for the
first time, adopted a two-year budget Monday,
signaling hope for economic recovery by planning for slight increases in the general fund
budget compared to the current fiscal year.
For FY2015, which begins July 1, the city
budgetted for $11.2 million in general fund revenues, compared to the $10.7 million budgetted
for the current year. In FY2016, the general
fund budget revenues were projected at $11.3
million.
Sheridan City Clerk Scott Badley said the
city adopted a five-year plan in April, and by
adopting the two-year budget Monday, they put
the first part of that plan into place. He added
that the slight increase in the general fund
budget can be attributed to sales and use taxes,
building permit fees, gasoline tax collections
and the earlier than expected lottery proceeds.
“The economic outlook is improving and bolstered by the recent announcements that the
Decker Coal mine has rehired personnel and
the pending new RAMACO coal mine are indicators of sustained modest growth,” Badley
said in a budget message to the Sheridan City
Council.

SCSD2 to submit plan for Ft. Mackenzie restructuring
BY ALISA BRANTZ
THE SHERIDAN PRESS
SHERIDAN — Fort Mackenzie High School missed the
Adequate Yearly Progress target for graduation rates for the
sixth consecutive year and as a result they are now labeled a
“School in Improvement” under the requirements of No
Child Left Behind.
As such, the school is now required to submit a restructuring plan for consideration to the Wyoming State Board of
Education.
A restructuring plan committee was formed and included

SHERIDAN — IAFF Local 276 representative
George Neeson continues to butt heads with
the Sheridan City Council in negotiations to
establish a new contract for the firefighters
union. Neeson and the council spent nearly an
hour Monday discussing proposed contracts
and counter offers, to no avail.
The city has boiled down a nearly 20 page
contract to about a half-dozen pages, but
Neeson said the language that was cut had
been built up over many years for a reason.
“Every part that of that contract that I
haven’t erased or crossed out and red-lined out
is important to us. That’s why I bring the
whole thing,” Neeson said. “It’s not that its 40
years old, because in those 40 years we’ve dealt
with the issues that have occurred and we
added that language into that contract to deal
with issues so they don’t come up again. So it
saves all of us some time, it saves grievances
that would be based on subjective behavior. So
I believe that every word that I put in there at
this point in time is important to us.”

BUDGET: Approved unanimously
FROM 1
Highlights of the FY2015 budget, as outlined by Badley, are:
• the placement into general fund
reserves a minimum of $140,000 of unassigned fund balance, which is cash available from the general fund, increasing
reserves to 27 percent of general fund
expenditures.
• a projected 3 percent increase in
Optional One Cent Sales Tax and Capital
Facilities Tax funds.
• the restriction on use for personnel of
appropriated state direct distributions,
which are projected at about $1.9 million.
• that building activity is expected to
grow.
• that city employee pay increases during
the current fiscal year carried forward,
reflecting the first increase since October
2008.
The $11.2 million general fund budget is
about 29 percent of the city’s total FY2015
budget of $38.6 million. The total budget
includes the general fund, One-Cent Sales
Tax fund, Special Revenue fund, Capital
Facilities Tax fund, Water/Sewer fund,
Sanitation fund, the golf course, mosquito
fund and debt service.
The Sheridan City Council approved the
budget unanimously Monday night after a
public hearing.
In other business, the council approved
on third and final reading changes to the
city’s planned unit development codes.
Density has been a focus of discussions
in past meetings — an attempt to ensure
new developments are compatible with and
have limited impact on surrounding developments.
A portion of the revised code included
the phrase, “minimize the impact on adjacent properties by limiting building
heights, providing screening and/or other
buffers and establishing a density that is
compatible with the surrounding area.”
Councilwoman Shelleen Smith raised the
question of whether the word “density” is
the best fit there, arguing that making a
new development compatible with agricultural land around it could hinder the
process.
Mayor Dave Kinskey agreed, adding that
the phrase sets up “impossible circumstances” in the planning department. He
noted that the inevitability of infill development is that density has to go up for
costs to go down, and the city has tried
multiple affordable housing initiatives
such as the former Sheridan Housing
Action Committee but still has an affordable housing problem.
Eventually, the council voted to eliminate
the phrase completely after reassurances
that the ordinance as a whole spells out
what the city expects of PUD developers.
SCSD2 renews contract
with ACE program
BY ALISA BRANTZ
THE SHERIDAN PRESS
SHERIDAN — Since the fall
of 2007 the Volunteers of
America Northern Rockies
have partnered with Sheridan
County School District 2 to provide services to suspended students via the ACE program.
Accountability Change in
Education houses students
instead of participating in outof-school suspensions and VOA
Division Director Todd Richins
said this ensures a safe situation for the students while providing goals and structure.
Richins said the program is
divided in concentration with
40 percent of the time spent
identifying the behaviors
which landed the student in
suspension and working to
change those behaviors, 50 percent of the time focused on
substitute teacher-led academics and 10 percent spent performing acts of community
service or exercise.
In response to board requests
and expectations set by the district prior to this year’s contract renewal, the ACE directors implemented a few
changes and performed a more
thorough examination of the
effectiveness of the program.
Two staff members attended
the Boys Town training offered
recently and principals of Boys
Town will be implemented into
the elementary level ACE program. Concepts included in the
Code of the West were also
analyzed and implemented.
The program has added a
computer lab to their facilities,
has held regular meetings with
district representatives and
has experienced no staff
turnover, all areas identified as
ways to improve the effectiveness of the program.
During the SCSD2 Board of
Trustees meeting Monday
night, Richins presented figures showing the effectiveness
of the program in terms of
how many students receive
another suspension assignment to ACE following their
initial completion of the program.
ACE served 530 students in
the 2013-2014 school year
including 97 elementary students, 129 junior high students
and 304 high school students
districtwide.
Of those students, 136 repeated their enrollment in ACE —
26 elementary, 24 junior high
and 86 high school students.
Though the 530 served were a
small percentage of students
compared to the 2,996 students
who did not access ACE,
Richins said the students who
were placed there did need the
service and showed marked
improvements as a result of
completing the program.
After the presentation, the
board voted unanimously to
approve the contract renewal
at a cost of $17,915 per month
for the 2014-2015 academic year.
In other business:

Churches back science standards teaching evolution
CASPER (AP) — A group of Wyoming churches
say they support science education standards that
the state Legislature rejected over concerns that students would be expected to know about global climate change and evolution.
The Wyoming Association of Churches said
recently that science should be taught openly and
not be based on any belief system and that it supports teaching students at K-12 public schools concepts in line with the Next Generation Science
Standards, the Casper Star-Tribune reported
Monday.
“It’s just a historical statement,” said the Rev.
Warren Murphy, a Cody-based Episcopalian minister
and environmental projects coordinator for the
church group that represents about 10 Protestant
denominations statewide. “None of us have any
problems with understanding evolution, and it does
not interfere with faith.”
Others in Wyoming oppose the standards for
endorsing the mainstream scientific theories of biological evolution and man-made climate change.
While a literal or fundamentalist interpretation of
the Bible suggests that the Earth is about 6,000 years
old, Murphy said, the next-generation standards say
the Earth is 4.6 billion years old.
“Science is important, peer-proven,” he said.
“Faith is something else. It shouldn’t interfere with
what science is doing.”
Schools and teachers use the standards developed
by 26 states and several national science education
groups in choosing their textbooks and lesson plans.
To date, nine states and the District of Columbia
have adopted the standards.
Wyoming education officials have been developing
a different set of standards since the Legislature
rejected the standards last winter with Gov. Matt
Mead’s approval. A statement to the Board of
Education published by the nonprofit Wyoming
Citizens Opposing the Common Core called the standards “opinionated” and asserted that they will present an atheistic worldview. The statement questioned whether the origins and nature of life are
appropriate questions to ask in a science classroom.

4th arrest in vandalized
grave of NH businessman
COLEBROOK, N.H. (AP) — A fourth person has been accused of taking part
in ransacking the grave of a New Hampshire businessman who died in 2004.
The cement vault of Eddie Nash was found last month cracked, the casket
opened and the remains searched. The body was left intact at the Colebrook
Village Cemetery.
The Caledonian Record reports 53-year-old David Grey, who recently moved
to Colebrook from Rhode Island, turned himself in to police on Friday and
was charged with interference with a cemetery.
“I think this will probably do it,” Colebrook Police Lt. Paul Rella said of the
arrests.

In addition, the college registrar will make visits to the school to teach the students about
grant and scholarship application forms and
other aspects of college to show them that a college education is a realistic opportunity for
which to strive.
One concern the committee identified with the
changes is the ability to maintain the academic
rigor present at the school while implementing
these new programs.
“We felt good about a lot of things if they
could be done with a Sheridan twist through a
pilot program and the academic rigor could stay
where it is at,” Burgess said. “They do not have
the ACT scores that we do, but their completion
rate is better.”
Last year the students at FMHS had the highest composite ACT score in the state, but a low
graduation rate.
The board voted unanimously to approve the
plan as presented and it will now be presented to
the Wyoming State Board of Education for
approval on July 1.

Stephen Woody
his lovely spouse, Linda,
have a home on the
island, accessible by ferry only and then
via bicycles and golf carts. Life is on
“island time” and centered around the
Portland ferry schedule and where to get
the “freshest” lobster. Some notes from
that trip:
• Great Diamond Island was once the
home to Fort McKinley, an active military
base dating from 1891. It was decommissioned after WWII but you can still see air
raid bunkers and concrete coastal
artillery batteries throughout the island.
At one time, during the Spanish-American
War, it was deemed essential to defend
Casco Bay shipping and nearby Portland.
Barracks and officer’s quarters, similar to
the red-brick architecture and style of
what you see at our VA hospital, are now
private homes with a magnificent parade
ground in the center. Great Diamond has
77 full-time residents.
• Portland is a city of about 70,000 and
once a year the city hosts a three-day Old
Port Festival with a slew of activities. At
one time, downtown Portland was a tough
place with dive bars and worse. But today,
the Victorian-era buildings and bricklined streets make way for trendy restaurants, a few chic boutiques and neighborhood grocery stores which are a delight. A
good place to celebrate an older brother’s
birthday. Portland also has a minor league
baseball team, the SeaDogs, the Double-A
affiliate of the Boston Red Sox. Hadlock
Field is a cozy old ballpark that seats 7,300
just a few blocks from the water. Its team
has a flat-out cool logo.
• President George H.W. Bush celebrated
his 90th birthday while we were in Maine
by jumping from a perfectly good aircraft
with a member of the Army’s sky-diving
team.
Our 41st president has done so on his
75th, 80th and 85th birthdays as well.
Some wondered why President Bush, who
is now mostly confined to a wheelchair
and was hospitalized last year for seven
weeks for respiratory issues, would do
this. The explanation from family and
friends: his positive attitude about life,
that a good attitude leads to adventure and
joy despite age or infirmity.
Most know that president Bush survived
being shot down as a pilot in WWII in the
Pacific. Some also said he was sending a
message, too, to those WWII survivors that
he was thinking of them and to keep their
chin up. It seemed like all of Maine was
cheering for him. (What’s more: he
jumped in red socks and in L.L. Bean boat
shoes.)
• Our side trip was to Boston, primarily
to see the defending World Champions, the
Boston Rex Sox. Oh, we also saw some historical sites, too — the Old North Church,
Paul Revere’s House, Faneuil Hall — but
hey, my older bother, Susan and I caught
the Sox and Cleveland in baseball’s hallowed ground of Fenway Park, built in
1912. The fans were polite and friendly, but
they sure talked funny. The hometown
team won that night, 10-3, and Hall of
Famer Carlton Fisk threw out the first
pitch.
It was one more game sitting alongside
my older brother who taught me baseball
and encouraged me to become a lifelong
fan.
We’ve watched many games together, in
some of the best ballparks, and this one
was particularly special.

Local VA caring
Re: Husband’s experience
We are privileged to have the Sheridan
VA. I am writing this on behalf of my
husband, Dale Dean, who was a patient
for 20 plus years. My concern is that all
VAs might be judged by the din and outcry blasted, heard and seen in various
press and TV.
Our VA (and it really is our VA) is one I
know extremely well. Through the years,
every appointment requested was granted, every call answered with concern and
advice, follow-up part of the process after
a hospital stay.
We were out of state when he was suddenly very ill and I called Sheridan. They
advised he be admitted to a VA in the
state but Dale insisted I take him back to
Sheridan “because he trusted them.” I

drove 825 miles after alerting them I was
coming. I was met at the ambulance
entrance by two nurses with wheelchairs.
In 45 minutes he had been X-rayed,
blood drawn, admitted, respiratory therapies starting IVs. That was how “our” VA
responded to a veteran in need.
Dale had countless other admissions. It
did not matter the time — be it day, midnight or wee hours of the morning. He
was always treated with concern, dignity
and respect and that treatment included
the admitting on-call doctor, X-ray personnel and lab specialists.
He had several admissions when the
construction closed down the regular
facility. It was moved to a small section of
the nursing home and that meant a transition to very cramped quarters. Yet,
somehow, under extremely difficult conditions, the wonderful nursing staff man-

a “broom closet” space that rivaled the
VIP suite at Massachusetts General
Hospital. All without complaints from
staff or patients.
The day of Dale’s last discharge to
home primary care, I was called four different times to be sure I would be able to
care for him at home and I answered
them I would. They were always concerned not only for the veteran, but for
his caregiver too.
One week after his discharge, Dale lost
his “good fight” at home, as he wanted.

“More than half of the
town is gone — absolutely
gone.”
— Stanton County
Commissioner Jerry
Weatherholt after massive
tornadoes swept through
northeast Nebraska,
destroying more than half
of the town of Pilger.
“What I can say is it was a
very tough game. Playing at
this level any little mistake
can cost you dearly. We
didn’t deserve to get the
first goal against us.”

Appiah whose team lost 1-2

The old days at Dow school
n the old days of rural Sheridan County,
children didn’t trek to town to attend
school. That was impossible because of
the bad roads and lack of transportation.
Instead, schools were formed where
they were needed. As a result, by 1920
Sheridan County had 47 school districts.
One of them was School District 18, established in 1891, which included the S.R,
Verona, Bell and Dow schools, all in the
Prairie Dog creek area. To some, those old
country school days bring back fond
memories.
Big Horn artist Joel Ostlind’s mother,
Lois Stockhouse Ostlind, and his uncle,
Robert Stockhouse, certainly had vivid
memories of the Dow school in the early
1930s in the depths of the Great
Depression.
Lois was the daughter of Erland and
Francis Stockhouse. Erland emigrated
from Sweden to the Sheridan area and
met a “young school marm,” Frances
Gillette, who taught him English. She also
married him.
Frances wasn’t allowed to teach in town
because at that time married women were
restricted from doing so. But they were
allowed to teach in the country, so
Frances was hired as the teacher for the
Dow school. She needed the work because
her husband, Erland, was laid off from
his job as a fireman with the CB&Q railroad. So Erland stayed at their house in
town (276 Lewis Street) and watched over
their two sons, Bob and Burton, and fed
the bears in the Sheridan Zoo while
Frances commuted to work at Dow school.
One of her first-grade students in 1932
was her 5-year-old daughter, Lois.
This was not an ordinary commute; it
was more like a continuous adventure.
Dow school was about 15 miles from town.

The Sheridan Press welcomes letters to
the editor. The decision to print any submission is completely at the discretion of
the managing editor and publisher.
Thirteen miles of the
road was gravel and the
last two miles was just
mud and dirt. The
Stackhouses’ 1925 Buick
could only negotiate the
gravel road when it was
frozen and the mud and
dirt part not at all. So
Frances drove to the
TOM
end of the gravel and
RINGLEY
parked the car in some|
one’s farm yard and she
and Lois trudged
through the mud for the
last two miles. They carried the supplies
they would need for a week because once
they got to the school early Monday morning they stayed there until Friday evening
when the road froze and they could go
home for the weekend.
Living in the school room for a week
was a challenge. Lois recalled that: “Our
bed folded out of a bookcase (Murphy
bed) — heat was a potbellied stove.” The
kitchenette was in a closet with just a
kerosene stove — no sink.
The teaching part of the excursion was
interesting too. For starters, Lois’s mother insisted that her daughter call her
“Mrs. Stockhouse” to avoid any appearance of favoritism. And the children
learned by recitation. Robert Stockhouse,
Lois’ brother, who attended the school in
1930, remembered that: “Each grade level
would have to go to the front of the school
to recite, spell, or whatever and the other
students learned from the recitations.”
Lois and her brother shared stories of
their days at the Dow school. For
instance, some of the children rode their
horses to school and the school had a
barn and some feed for the horses. Also,
there were rattlesnakes around the school
and the boys caught them with a forked
stick and killed them. Then they decorated their belts with the trophy snakeskins.
Lois also remembered a “…family with
12 children near the school. They had no
shoes so were not going to come to school
— but mother found shoes for all of them
so they came to school. She probably
found them through the churches. They
were so poor they didn’t have a lunch box.
Mother would have the school boys go out
at recess and kill rabbits (the school had a
gun) which she fried at noon to feed them
(and probably us too).” Could this have
been one of the first school lunch programs?
At the isolated school the children were
always game for some diversion. So, it
was a welcome event in the fall when the
hornets were thick and the children were
allowed to swat them with their rulers.
As Lois wrote, “It was great to be able to
make noise.” In those days it didn’t take
much to amuse the children.
Eventually, the railroad hired Erland
back and Frances stopped teaching at
Dow school. After that, the children
attended school in Sheridan. But they
would always remember those days at
Dow school and their intrepid mother and
teacher, Frances Stockhouse.
Not sure they make them like that anymore.
(Note: Thank you to Joel Ostlind for
sharing some interesting family oral and
written history.)
TOM RINGLEY was re-elected as a county commissioner in 2012. He is the
author of four books. Ringley grew up in Sheridan and returned home in
1990 after 27 years as an Air Force officer. He has been involved with the
local hospital foundation, the Sheridan-Wyo-Rodeo and has been the
facilities director at the county fairgrounds.

Tornadoes flatten tiny rural Nebraska town; 2 dead
PILGER, Neb. (AP) — A storm packing
rare dual tornadoes tore through a tiny
farming town in northeast Nebraska,
killing two people, crumpling grain bins
like discarded soda cans and flattening
dozens of homes.
Pilger’s 350 residents evacuated their
homes after the powerful twisters
slammed the area Monday afternoon.
Nebraska State Patrol closed all roads
into town.
“More than half of the town is gone —
absolutely gone,” Stanton County
Commissioner Jerry Weatherholt said.
“The co-op is gone, the grain bins are
gone, and it looks like almost every
house in town has some damage. It’s a
complete mess.”
Larry Nelson, 73, has lived in Pilger,
about 80 miles northwest of Omaha, for
23 years. He rode out the storm in his
neighbor’s basement, emerging later to
find his home completely gone.
“I’m grateful I was over there,” Nelson
said. Another resident, Trey
Wisniewski, said first his weather radio
alerted him, then the power went out
and the tornado sirens started to sound.
The sky went black and he and his wife
took their pets into the basement.
“My wife was holding our animals and
I was holding on to my wife. We could
feel the suction try to pull us out of
there,” said Wisniewski, 43. “It wasn’t
raining. It was raining debris.”
Stanton County Sheriff Mike Unger
estimated that 50 to 75 percent of Pilger
was heavily damaged or destroyed and
the school was likely beyond repair.
The storm was part of a larger system
that tracked across the nation’s midsection Monday. More storms are forecast
for Tuesday, stretching from eastern
Montana to New York, but the system
likely won’t be as powerful as on
Monday, said Steve Corfidi, lead forecaster at the Storm Prediction Center in
Norman, Oklahoma.
The greatest risk for tornadoes will be
in the Dakotas, eastern Montana and
northeastern Wyoming. Hail is expected
west of the Mississippi River, while damaging winds could down some trees in
upstate New York, Corfidi said.
CHESHIRE, Conn. (AP) —
Medical examiners in
Connecticut say an apparent
hoarder died of accidental
and traumatic asphyxia
after a floor piled high with
debris collapsed into her
basement.
The chief medical examiner’s office released the cause
of death of 66-year-old
Beverly Mitchell on
Tuesday.
Her body was found
Saturday as crews were
using a backhoe to remove
debris from her home in

Baseball star
Tony Gwynn dies at 54
SAN DIEGO (AP) — There were
two certainties about Tony
Gwynn: He could hit a baseball
like few other major leaguers,
and he was going to laugh.
Gwynn was a craftsman at the
plate, whose sweet left-handed
swing made him one of baseball’s
greatest hitters.
The Hall of Famer died Monday
of oral cancer, a disease he attributed to years of chewing tobacco.
He was 54. Any knowledgeable
fan can recite Gwynn’s key stats.
He had 3,141 hits — 18th on the
all-time list — a career .338 average and won eight batting titles
to tie Honus Wagner’s NL record.
There was far more to the man.
In a rarity in pro sports,
Gwynn played his whole career
with the Padres, choosing to stay
in the city where he was a twosport college star rather than
leaving for bigger paychecks elsewhere.
He was loyal, generous and
approachable. He smiled a lot. It
didn’t take much to get him to
laugh his hearty laugh.
Gwynn loved San Diego. San
Diego loved “Mr. Padre” right
back. His death left even casual
fans grieving.
“Our city is a little darker today
without him, but immeasurably
better because of him,” Mayor
Kevin Faulconer said in a state-
ment. Five things to remember
about Gwynn:
HIS CRAFT: After spending
parts of just two seasons in the
minors, he made his big league
debut on July 19, 1982. Gwynn
had two hits that night. After
Gwynn doubled, career hits
leader Pete Rose, who been trailing the play, said to him: “Hey,
kid, what are you trying to do,
catch me in one night?”
On Monday, Rose recalled
Gwynn’s work ethic and his pioneering use of video to study his
at-bats after every game.
“Every day you went to the ballpark in San Diego and we used to
go 2:30 or 3 o’clock, Tony would
be out there hitting, religiously,
every day,” Rose said.

Today’s Highlight in
History:
On June 17, 1789, during
the French Revolution, the
Third Estate declared itself
a national assembly, and
undertook to frame a constitution. (This gathering gave
rise to the political terms
“left wing” and “right
wing,” with deputies representing commoners sitting
to the left of the assembly
president, and nobles sitting
to the right.)
On this date:
In 1397, the Treaty of
Kalmar was signed, creating
a union between the kingdoms of Sweden, Denmark
and Norway.
In 1775, the
Revolutionary War Battle of
Bunker Hill resulted in a
costly victory for the
British, who suffered heavy
losses.
In 1928, Amelia Earhart
embarked on a transAtlantic flight from
Newfoundland to Wales
with pilots Wilmer Stultz
and Louis Gordon, becoming the first woman to make
the trip as a passenger.
In 1930, President
Herbert Hoover signed the
Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act,
which boosted U.S. tariffs to
historically high levels,
prompting foreign retaliation.
In 1944, the Republic of
Iceland was established.
In 1953, U.S. Supreme
Court Justice William O.
Douglas stayed the execution of Julius and Ethel
Rosenberg, originally set for
the next day, the couple’s
14th wedding anniversary.
(They were put to death
June 19.)
In 1961, Soviet ballet
dancer Rudolf Nureyev
defected to the West while
his troupe was in Paris.
In 1972, President
Richard M. Nixon’s eventual
downfall began with the
arrest of five burglars
inside Democratic national
headquarters in
Washington, D.C.’s
Watergate complex.
In 1987, Charles Glass, a
journalist on leave from
ABC News, was kidnapped
in Lebanon. (Glass escaped
his captors in August 1987.)
In 1992, President George
H.W. Bush and Russian
President Boris Yeltsin
signed a breakthrough
arms-reduction agreement.
In 1994, after leading
police on a slow-speed chase
on Southern California freeways, O.J. Simpson was
arrested and charged with
murder in the slayings of
his ex-wife, Nicole, and her
friend, Ronald Goldman.
(Simpson was later acquitted in a criminal trial, but
held liable in a civil trial.)
Ten years ago: A bipartisan report found that officials, blindsided by terrorists and beset by poor communications, were so slow
to react on Sept. 11, 2001,
that the last of four hijacked
planes had crashed by the
time Vice President Dick
Cheney ordered hostile aircraft shot down.
Thought for Today: “A
consensus means that everyone agrees to say collectively what no one believes individually.” — Abba Eban,
Israeli statesman (1915-2002).

TANDEM: Reunion
on Sunday at park
US stock
futures little
changed
NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stock
futures are little changed, as the
Federal Reserve begins its twoday meeting. A government
report out Tuesday said the pace
of new home construction eased
slightly last month.
KEEPING SCORE: Thirty
minutes before the start of regular trading, Dow Jones industrial
average futures are down 30
points to 16,671. Standard &
Poor’s 500 index futures are up
three points to 1,926, while
Nasdaq 100 futures are two points
lower at 3,770.
Investors nudged the stock market to slight gains Monday,
thanks in part to another round
of corporate deals.
HOUSING: The Commerce
Department said builders started
work at an annual rate on 1.01
million homes in May. That was
down 6.5 percent from 1.07 million in April.
FED: The central bank meets
Tuesday and Wednesday with Fed
officials widely expected to keep
a key short-term rate near zero.
Economists don’t expect the Fed
to begin increasing that rate for
another year.
The Fed will also update its economic forecasts. That could
result in the Fed trimming its
estimate of 2014 growth after the
government said last month that
the economy shrank in the first
three months of the year.
OIL: The price of crude fell 47
cents to $106.43 a barrel.

Tandem Productions is open to any children
between 8 and 15 years old, so some of those
original young actors could be 35 by now.
As Tandem Productions has grown, so have
other theater opportunities for youth in the
community. In 1998, Davis began helping with
theater camps at the YMCA, giving those who
maybe didn’t get a part in the annual Tandem
production a shot on stage. She now helps run
two theater camps through the YMCA that
typically fill up on the first day of registration.
In addition to theater, Davis said Tandem
productions started the Youth and Children’s
Chorales in Sheridan County. The Children’s
Chorale includes children in grade three
through five, while the youth chorale features
sixth- through eighth-graders.
Davis said it has been fun to watch the children make their way through the Tandem
program, learning confidence and making
friends. She noted that as kids moved from
the elementary schools to middle schools,
they felt more confident knowing some of
their Tandem friends would be at the new
school.
“It just wasn’t as scary for them,” Davis
said. “It’s been fun to watch them grow up
and I’m shocked we’ve been doing it this
long.”
Upcoming production
Painted up
Spattered in paint, Jonnie Zullig dances with friends Friday night at Kendrick Park during the first Paint

Saturday at 7:30 p.m. each day. Tickets can
be purchased through the theater. In addition, on Sunday, the nonprofit will hold a
reunion for any past participants. The
reunion will be at Kendrick Park from
noon to 4 p.m
MINE: Hope to begin mining north of Sheridan by 2017, creating 200-225 jobs
FROM 1
"This is 20 years' worth of mining just on the first mining plan we've done," he said. "And, as we start poking
holes and find more coal, we may expand to more areas.
This could probably go on for several decades."
The proposed new mine land is bisected by both
Interstate 90 and the Burlington Northern Santa Fe, LLC,
rail line.
Highwall mining
The technique of highwall
mining entails digging a
shelved trench into terrain
and then using a HWM
machine to excavate coal.
The machine consists of an
auger, or drill, that burrows
as far as 2,000-feet into the
hillside. An accompanying
conveyer belt then transports the coal backward
through the drilled hole to
be transported.
In this case, Atkins said
plans are to truck the coal to
a rail yard that will be situated near what is now
known as the Taylor Quarry.
HWM is considered a variation of surface mining, as
people do not physically go
underground to recover the
coal. The HWM technique is
a distinct departure from
the conventional approach
to western mining, but is
used extensively in the eastern United States.
"A lot of the type of mining done out in Wyoming is
what I call 'moon scaping',"
Atkins explained. "Some
people call it an ‘open pit’ or
‘truck and shovel,’ where
you remove all the topsoil
and keep going down.
"That works in places like
Gillette that have huge
seams. Coal seams here
aren't that thick. They're
more shallow," he said,
adding that HWM is a perfect fit for the coal seams
found near Sheridan.
The aftermath of a highwall mining operation is a
hillside with multiple holes
drilled side-by-side, creating
a "honeycomb" appearance.
Marketing
Atkins said coal from the
Northern Powder River
Basin represents a unique
economic opportunity for
Ramaco.
"In terms of thermal coal,
we felt this is probably the
strongest or one of the
strongest regions in the
country to mine," Atkins
said, explaining that coal
found near Sheridan contains a relatively high
British Thermal Unit (BTU)
ratio and lower sodium than other coal mined in the
region.
Atkins remained optimistic that the "war on coal" raging
on a national level will not have a long-term effect on profits from the new local mine.
"I think that as that is implemented, things will change
because I think it will be shaped by regulatory change,
legal change and things like that," he said. "Having said
that, the utilities we sell to will likely be in the Midwest,
and they will not be as badly impacted. Our coal fits very
well with what their burning requirements would be."
New stipulations from the Environmental Protection
Agency have dictated emissions from new coal-fired power
plants reach unprecedented low levels of carbon emissions. The constricted operability of some existing power
plants and tight regulations for new facilities has created a
cutthroat domestic market. Atkins said he's confident
Brook Mine coal will fill a niche.
"The reality is there are some coals that can be used in
the same utilities from different mines, and there are some
utilities that can only burn certain types of coal," he said,
adding that he sees the
mine's future product as
unique to that mined at
existing nearby mines,
including the Decker and
Spring Creek mines.
"It's not as much head-tohead competition as you
might suspect because even
Randall Atkins though you think of coal in
Ramaco CEO generic terms, it really has
specialized chemical properties that each coal is a little different and each utilities
boiler accepts certain types of coal and not others."
Atkins said he hopes to market two-thirds of coal mined
from the Brook Mine domestically, while the remaining
one-third would be marketed overseas using existing
North American export terminals.
"We have come up with a route to avoid the mess going
on in the Washington and Oregon area," Atkins said, indicating Ramaco has considered shipping coal to Asia via an
export terminal in Canada. Ramaco also owns a terminal
south of New Orleans.
‘This is 20 years'
worth of mining just on
the first mining
plan we've done.’
Getting started
Atkins said Ramaco is currently working with multiple
local engineering groups, to include drilling companies
and environmental consultants, to get the Brook Mine off
the ground. He’s also waiting on a finalized socioeconomic
study that would outline the potential economic impact of
the mine, which he intends to make public.
"What we hope is we'll file this summer and that process
will take a year or more than a year, and we'll start mining
in 2016," Atkins said, knocking on the wooden conference
table at Sheridan's Ramaco office on Sugarland Drive.
Atkins said the current mine plan is divided into two
phases, each encompassing its own area.
Ramaco's present goal is to have an initial Phase 1 surface mining permit application submitted by August in
hopes of having the permit issued by the end of 2015. The
Phase 2 application is expected to be submitted in the fall
of 2015 to begin mining in 2017.
"Wyoming has a reputation for trying to get things done
and move these projects forward, rather than trying to
come up with reasons not to do things," Atkins said. "We've
had the same experience and we're happy up to this point."
Atkins added that while nothing is ever "in the bag,"
Wyoming's Department of Environmental Quality and
other regulatory agencies have been accommodating to
Ramaco's development ambitions.

Corn falls to

since
February
Shaky stats fuel
power plant debate
WASHINGTON (AP) — President
Barack Obama’s new pollution limits
for power plants have set off an avalanche of information about what the
rules will cost, how they will affect
your health and how far they will go
toward curbing climate change.
There’s just one problem: Almost
none of it is based in reality.
That’s because Obama’s proposed
rules, which aim to cut carbon dioxide
emissions from power plants 30 percent by 2030, rely on states developing
their own customized plans to meet
their targets.
Among the options are switching to
cleaner fuel sources, boosting efficiency to reduce demand for electricity
and trading pollution permits through
cap-and-trade.
At the earliest, states won’t submit
plans until mid-2016; some states could
have until 2018. So the true impact
won’t be known for years.
But that’s not stopping the White
House, environmental groups and the
energy industry from serving up speculation in heaping doses.
What we know and don’t know about
the effects of the pollution rules:
Corn prices fell to their lowest
level in four months Monday after
the Department of Agriculture
said the majority of this year’s U.S.
harvest is in good-to-excellent condition.
Corn for July delivery fell 6
cents, or 1.3 percent, to $4.41 a
bushel, its lowest price since early
February.
The USDA said Monday that 75
percent of the United States’ corn
crop is in good or excellent condition, compared with 63 percent at
the same time a year ago. Crop
conditions have not been this good
in 20 years, according to the USDA.
Other agricultural commodities
fell. Wheat fell 5 cents, or 1 percent, to $5.81 a bushel. Soybeans
fell 4 cents, or 0.3 percent, to $14.22
a bushel.
In other commodities trading, oil
was essentially unchanged at
$106.90 a barrel. Natural gas fell 3
cents, or 0.7 percent, to $4.71 per
thousand cubic feet. Wholesale
gasoline futures rose a penny, or
0.5 percent, to $3.07 a gallon.
Heating oil rose a penny as well, or
0.3 percent, to $3 a gallon.
In metals, gold rose $1.20, or 0.1
percent, to $1,275.30 an ounce.
Silver rose 6 cents, or 0.3 percent,
to $19.72 an ounce. July copper
rose 2 cents, or 0.7 percent, to $3.05
a pound.
Platinum rose $4.10, or 0.3 percent, to $1,439.10 an ounce and palladium fell $3.25, or 0.4 percent, to
$809.35 an ounce.

Clinton: Keystone not a proxy for Canada relations
TORONTO (AP) — Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary
Rodham Clinton said Monday that the proposed Keystone XL
pipeline shouldn’t be seen as a proxy for the relationship between
Canada and the United States.
Clinton gave a speech in Toronto to promote her new book
before taking questions from Frank McKenna, Canada’s former
ambassador to the U.S. McKenna said the Obama administration’s
delayed decision on whether to approve the pipeline is source of
tension and is increasingly viewed as a proxy for the relationship.
The pipeline is critical to Canada, which needs infrastructure
in place to export its growing oil sands production. Alberta has
the world’s third largest oil reserves, with 170 billion barrels of
proven reserves.
“I did not see it nor should it be a proxy for the relationship. It
is, after all, one pipeline. We already have a lot of pipelines that
cross our border,” Clinton said.
The potential 2016 Democratic presidential candidate, who
served as President Barack Obama’s top diplomat, avoided directly commenting on the merits of the pipeline.
TransCanada’s Keystone XL pipeline would carry more than
800,000 barrels of oil a day from Alberta and the U.S. Bakken oil
field across six U.S. states to refineries in the Texas Gulf Coast.
Republicans, the Canadian government and business and labor
groups have long urged the Obama administration to approve the
pipeline as a source of much-needed jobs and a step toward North
American energy independence. Environmental groups have been
pressuring Obama to reject the pipeline, saying it would carry
“dirty oil” that contributes to global warming. They also worry
about a spill.
Clinton said the pipeline has become a “proxy for everything”
including climate change.
“However this Keystone decision is finally made, some people
are going to be very happy, relieved and think it was the right
decision and some people are going to be distraught and even
angry and upset, thinking it was a terrible decision so I don’t
think we should put our relationship on the backs of this decision,” she said.
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper was “profoundly disappointed” that Obama delayed a decision on the pipeline, and
has spoken of the need to diversify Canada’s oil exports. Ninetyseven percent of Canadian oil exports now go to the U.S.
Harper is expected to soon announce approval of a proposed
pipeline to the Pacific Coast that would allow Canada’s oil to be
shipped to Asia. Harper has staunchly expressed support for
Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway pipeline to the British
Columbia after the U.S. delayed the Keystone decision.
McKenna also told Clinton that Canada is tripling the amount of
oil that’s transported by rail because of a lack of pipelines.
Clinton said she believes the State Department is considering this
and noted the danger of it.
Oil companies have increasingly turned to rail to transport oil
but there are safety concerns.
The Obama administration says: The
proposal will shrink electricity bills
about 8 percent.
Opponents of the new rules say:
“Americans can expect to pay $200
more each year for their electricity.”
—Institute for Energy Research, a
group backed by the Koch brothers.
The reality: It depends how you
crunch the numbers. The administration acknowledges that the price per
kilowatt hour will go up a few percentage points. But the administration
says your total power bill will be lower
because the plan incentivizes efficiency and will drive down demand. In
other words, you’ll pay more for the
electricity you buy, but you’ll buy less
of it.
THE ENVIRONMENT
Environmentalists say: “This is the
biggest step we’ve ever taken for the
biggest challenge we’ve ever faced.” —
League of Conservation Voters
The coal industry says: “The proposal will have practically no effect on
global climate change.” —American
Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity
The reality: The plan would prevent
about 430 million tons of carbon from
reaching the atmosphere. It’s a 30 percent cut over the next 15 years, but
that’s compared with 2005 levels. Since
2005, power plans have cut those emissions nearly 13 percent, so they’re
already about halfway toward the goal.
But U.S. fossil-fueled plants account
for only 6 percent of global carbon
emissions, and Obama’s plan doesn’t
touch the rest of the world’s emissions.
It won’t cut as big a chunk as
Obama’s previous fuel economy rules
for cars and trucks.

Locals head east to
compete in USA Games
BY MIKE PRUDEN
THE SHERIDAN PRESS
SHERIDAN—The torch is ablaze, and
more than 3,500 athletes are in Newark,
New Jersey, to compete in the Special
Olympics 2014 USA Games.
Three of those 3,500 are Sheridan residents.
Tahia Grosch, Khyra Maes and Ronald
Roberts are joining the 19 other athletes,
12 coaches, eight Unified Sports partners,
three Special Olympics Wyoming staff
members, and four from the Youth
Activation Committee as they represent
the state of Wyoming in the games.
Grosch, 39, is representing Team
Wyoming and competing in bowling.
Grosch, who works at Tongue River
Elementary School, was able to attend the
preliminary competition leading up to the
World Games in Greece in 2011.
When asked what her favorite part of
the Special Olympics is, she said,
“Everything.”
Maes is in Newark this week competing
in athletics, participating in the 200-meter
run and the running long jump.
“Special Olympics and National Games
are very important to me because it will
be a good challenge to work hard,” Maes
said. “It is also a once in a lifetime experience.”
Roberts, 36, has lived in his Sheridan his
whole life and says he knows it “like the
back of his hand.” He is competing in the
50-meter walk and the 100-meter walk.
Joining the 12-person coaching team is
another Sheridan resident, Tanna Cotton.
Cotton, who is the coordinator for the
Sheridan schools program, is in New
Jersey coaching track and field. She has
been training Wyoming athletes for the
Special Olympics Summer Games, Fall
Tournament and Winter Games for more
than a dozen years. All four of these
Sheridan residents were involved in a
lengthy selection process before being
selected to make the trip to Newark.

Dempsey, Brooks give US 2-1 win over Ghana
NATAL, Brazil (AP) — After Clint
Dempsey’s historic early goal, the United
States spent more than an hour struggling to
hold off wave after wave of Ghana attacks. It
was no surprise when Ghana tied the game in
the 82nd minute.
Once again, the Black Stars — who had eliminated the Americans at the past two World
Cups — were poised to ruin the tournament
for the U.S.
With two starters out with injuries, the U.S.
barely threatened in the second half until a
corner kick in the 86th minute. Graham Zusi
lifted the ball into the penalty area, where fellow substitute John Brooks rose above the
defense and headed in the game winner, putting the U.S. atop the group with Germany.
“I couldn’t believe it. ...I just ran in the box
and hoped that the ball would hit my head and
it did,” said Brooks, a 6-foot-4 defender who is
brought forward for set pieces.
The loss put Ghana at the bottom of Group
G with Portugal — the Americans’ next opponent. The top two teams in the group advance.
At the final whistle, coach Jurgen
Klinsmann, the German hired to transform
the U.S. from mere World Cup participant into
a potential power, threw his arms to the sky
and roared.
“The U.S. team always has great spirit,”
Klinsmann said. “I said it to the bench minutes before we’re going to get some chances
still. So we are still in the game after the
equalizer, we just need to kind of push and
push and grind it out. That’s what they did.
Here comes a set piece we trained over and
over and over that stuff. And (Brooks) puts it
in, so well deserved.”
‘Playing at this level any little mistake
can cost you dearly. We didn’t deserve to get
the first goal against us.’
Kwesi Appiah
Ghana coach
The U.S. lost striker Jozy Altidore to an
apparent left hamstring injury in the 21st
minute and his status for the rest of the tournament wasn’t immediately known. Dempsey
had his nose bloodied with a knee to the face.
“I was coughing up blood a little bit.
Hopefully I’ll be able to breathe through my
nose again before the next game,” Dempsey
said.
Dempsey’s goal made him the first U.S. player to score in three different World Cups and
ranks as the fifth-quickest goal in World Cup
history.
Both U.S. goals were surprising. Dempsey’s
showed the kind of technical flair seldom seen
from a squad that typically scores through set
pieces. Brooks’ game winner rescued the
Americans just when the U.S. likely would
have been happy to escape with at least a
draw.
DaMarcus Beasley, who became the first
American to play in four World Cups, started
the buildup to Dempsey’s goal with a pass to
Jermaine Jones, who fed it to Dempsey inside
the penalty area.
With a nifty move to split defenders John
Boye and Sulley Muntari, Dempsey sent the
left-footed shot past goalkeeper Adam
Kwarasey, where the ball bounced off the post
and in.

Carter coming back after 2 years on IR
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — As an
85,000-square-foot indoor practice
facility rises in the background of
the Denver Broncos’ training complex, fourth-year safety Quinton
Carter not so quietly goes about resurrecting his NFL career.
The two projects are intertwined.
Carter missed most of the last two
seasons after getting hurt inside the
team’s rented practice bubble during
a rainstorm two summers ago, blowing out a hamstring and a knee while
avoiding a soccer goal after defending a deep pass from Peyton
Manning to Eric Decker.
After starting 10 games as a rookie
in 2011 and intercepting Ben
Roethlisberger and Tom Brady in the
playoffs, Carter needed microfracture surgery following his injury
inside the practice bubble, which
doesn’t have regulation size fields
like the new facilities will.
The Broncos thought so much of
him that they kept him around on
injured reserve for a second straight
season last year rather than releasing him, and that trust is paying off
this offseason as Carter has returned
to form, providing depth for an
already superb secondary.
Carter has been getting
snaps at strong safety
with the first-string nickel defense, and with free
agent acquisition T.J.
Carter
Ward limited by a tight
hamstring the last two
weeks, Carter has seen plenty of
action in the base defense, as well.
“Quinton, having him back in the
rotation, letting him get snaps and
watching the way he is — instinctive
and makes plays, plays with confidence — it’ll be a great addition to
have him back at full strength,”
defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio
said.
The Broncos have several defensive
players returning from injuries that
sidelined them for the Super Bowl,
including safety Rahim Moore, who
cried when he put on a uniform this
spring and returned to practice for
the first time since November.
For Carter, it was doubly emotional.
“I’ve been out for two years,” he
said Monday as the Broncos began
their final week of offseason prac-
tices. “Man, it seems like an eternity
since I’ve played. So, I mean, I’m
ecstatic to be out here. I sit out here
and just take it all in.”
Carter is cutting sharply and running smoothly, showing no signs of
the injury.
Doubt, he said, was a constant companion during his time away from
the football field, especially when he
went home at night, away from the
meeting room and the training table.
“I mean, I was thinking, ‘Aw, geez’
every day because it’s easy to be forgotten in this league,” Carter said.
Among the veterans who lifted his
spirits was Hall of Famer Rod
Woodson, who was a guest coaching
instructor during the Broncos’ minicamp.
He approached Carter and “just
said, ‘Don’t get discouraged. You’ll
get back to exactly where you want
to be,’” Carter said. “He said he
played 14 years after his surgery. So,
that was really helpful.”
Also assuaging his fear was the
knowledge that the Broncos hadn’t
given up on him.
“It means the world, especially in
this business,” Carter said.

In "The Nut Job," a badmannered squirrel named
Surly (he's very surly) plans a
heist of a nut store run by
gangsters. When chaos
ensues, it takes a brush with
death for the overeager cartoon character to learn that
nuts are all about goodness -to be shared with others.
That's a lesson everyone
could benefit from, because
nuts can help you stay
healthy inside and out. And
you don't have to worry about
their fat content (good fats!)
or calorie count (just stick
with a small handful a day).
Here's the top three -- and
what one serving a day can
do for you.
Walnuts (as well as
almonds) are a seed. They're
rich in gamma tocopherol,
are the only nut with an
appreciable amount of
omega-3, and have 2.5 grams
of alpha-linolenic acid per
ounce, which may promote
heart and prostate health.
Some animal studies indicate
that eating walnuts may slow
the growth of cancer cells.
Others have found that it can
protect blood vessel walls
from damage.
Pistachios are a fruit!
Eating them daily seems to
help lower LDL cholesterol
levels, improve blood sugar
control, reduce blood pressure and lower the risk of
lung and other cancers.
Almonds can help people
with Type 2 diabetes and
metabolic syndrome avoid
complications. And they act
as a pre-biotic, helping
healthful gut bacteria thrive.
That's good for your immune
system.
Rule of thumb? Don't go too
nuts -- 14 shelled walnut
halves, 49 shelled pistachios
or 24 shelled almonds equal
one serving; just what you
want daily.

DEAR ABBY: May I sit in
your chair and give some
advice today? It's aimed at
men who place ads on dating
sites and then wonder why
they can't meet "quality"
women.
I'm an educated, decentlooking, middle-aged widow
who has dated quite a lot
through such ads and local
social groups. Yes, it can be a
jungle out there, but the
Internet is a wonderful tool
for bringing people together.
I live in a small town, and
the pool of eligible men is
smaller here than in metropolitan areas. That said,
there are few profiles that
attract my attention and that
of my divorced/widowed
friends.
Gentlemen, some pointers:
1. Smile! A dour expression
is unpleasant.
2. We may want to see you
with your shirt off after we
get to know you, but it's not
the most appealing or refined
pose for a first look.
3. Be realistic. If you are
Joe Average, we Jane
Averages would enjoy meeting you. Are you REALLY
going to hold out for a model
who is a decade or so
younger than you?
4. Be kind to the English
language. You don't have to
be a genius, but it would be
nice to know you can competently communicate in writing.
5. Consider a shave. Some
women like men with facial
hair; the majority of the ones
I know do not. About 75 percent of men over 50 have a
mustache, beard or both.
What are you hiding under
there?
6. If you're married and
miserable, for goodness sake,
go for marriage counseling
or get a divorce. But please
don't deceive women who
want to meet a nice guy to
share life with.
In case you think I'm being
too harsh, we gals welcome
any suggestions from men
who scroll through those
female profiles looking for
love. -- SURFING IN PETERSBURG, ILL.
DEAR SURFING: I'm printing your letter, and I'm sure
the reaction will be interesting. The No. 1 complaint I've
heard about Internet dating
has to do with misrepresentation on both sides of the
gender divide.
DEAR ABBY: My 83-yearold mother wants a tattoo!
She loves classical music and
has decided to have a musical note tattooed on her
shoulder. Should I institutionalize her, or chauffeur
her to the local tattoo parlor?
-- SHOCKED IN GARDEN
GROVE, CALIF.
DEAR SHOCKED: At 83,
your mother is old enough to
make this decision without
your blessing. She also
appears to be young enough
at heart that she may not
need the ride.
DEAR ABBY: I am being
divorced and my oldest son is
being married. My soon-tobe-ex-wife does not want my
girlfriend to attend. This has
put a great deal of pressure
on my son and his fiancee.
I left my wife for this
woman. I love her and would
like her to attend with me.
What is proper? -- DANNY IN
DELAWARE
DEAR DANNY: Because
your divorce is not yet final,
leave your girlfriend at home.
Her absence would be the
most thoughtful and considerate gift you could give your
son, his bride and your
almost-former wife.
Dear Abby is written by
Abigail Van Buren, also
known as Jeanne Phillips,

mother, Pauline Phillips.

Hints from Heloise
Ask for an Extension
Dear Heloise: I would like to
suggest to your readers that
they ask for SEAT-BELT EXTENDERS for their cars.
Most people do not know that
they are available for all makes
and models, but you have to
ask for them. They are free. If
you do not need them for yourself, you may need them for
someone who will be in your
car in the future. I think it
should be mandatory for all
cars (new or used) sold to have
them in the car for use, if
needed. -- Pamela W. in Ohio
Seat-belt extenders are an important part of a vehicle, but
unfortunately, they are NOT
AVAILABLE for all makes and
models of cars. If you want an
extender, you must contact the
car dealer. Many dealers will
give them to you for free, but
others may charge a small fee.
They also may ask you to sign a
waiver saying that you know
about the warnings related to
effectiveness and liability when
using extenders. -- Heloise
Heloise
SILICA-GEL PACKETS
Dear Heloise: When I find little packets of desiccants (silicagel packets) in boxes to keep
moisture out of the contents, I
wonder if it is safe to put one in
my cracker jar. I did try it, and
the crackers stayed just as
crisp and fresh as when I
opened it, but is this safe? -Vicki A. in Idaho
Although these packets are
nontoxic, they are not recommended for use with food (unless the packets came packaged
with that particular food item).
To keep your crackers fresh,
store them in an airtight container or even the freezer.
There are many other areas
in your home where you could
reuse silica-gel packets, but
don't use them when storing
food. -- Heloise
TELEVISION WATCHING
Dear Heloise: The other day, I
was having a hard time understanding the dialogue on a favorite TV show. When my
daughter walked into the room,
I mentioned to her how hard it
is to hear dialogue when actors
talk too fast or too quietly. She
told me she has a way to fix
that when it happens to her.
Without a second thought,
she took the TV remote from
me, turned the volume to
"mute," and the closed captioning appeared on the bottom of
the screen. (Heloise here: Some
TVs do not have this feature.) I
now do this with any program's
dialogue that I am having difficulty understanding. -- Candace
W. in New York
CLEANING SHOELACES
Dear Heloise: My problem
was washing my shoelaces in
the washing machine without
them getting tangled with the
laundry.
I thought that if I put them
both in the foot part of a pair of
socks (white laces in white
socks), that it should work, and
it did! They came out of the
laundry nice and clean, and
without tangles! -- Diane S. in

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
It's a good thing cats have
nine lives. Curiosity killed
the cat, but satisfaction
brought him back. Your
ability to judge risk is better than usual, so you can
tackle long-range planning
with ease.
CANCER (June 21-July
22): Ideas that have been in
dry dock may be ready to
launch. Show enthusiasm
and eagerness if you want
to get support from others,
especially for your most im-
portant objectives.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):
Maintain your enthusiasm,
even when the going gets
rough, and make the most
of every situation. Others
are more likely to forgive
minor transgressions under
these stars. Learn how to do
something new or improve
your environment.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Take time to do things right
the first time. An optimistic
outlook adds positive energy to the atmosphere, especially when you're forced
to slow down mentally and
be especially thorough.

DEDUCTIONS CAN
COME FROM THE AUCTION
Margery Allingham,
commenting on her
crime solver Albert
Campion, wrote, "He did
not arrive at this conclusion by the decent
process of quiet, logical
deduction, nor yet by the
blinding flash of glorious intuition, but by the
shoddy, untidy process
halfway between the two
by which one usually
gets to know things."
It is, of course, better
to draw conclusions
from logical deduction.
In this deal, South is in
four hearts. West leads
the spade nine. How
should East deduce the
correct defense?
North made a game-invitational limit raise,
showing four or more
hearts, 10-12 support
points (here, all high-
card points, no shortsuit points) and eight
losers (here, two in each
suit).
East knows that West
has led a singleton or
high from a doubleton -but which?
East should ask himself, "If my partner has a
singleton, how many
spades does that give declarer?" Here, the answer is five. And would
South have opened one
heart with five spades in
his hand? It would have
been most unlikely, because with 5-5 in the majors, South would have
opened one spade, not
one heart.
So East should deduce
that his partner has led
from a doubleton and
should signal encouragement with his spade
seven.
South wins, cashes the
heart ace, and plays another heart. But West

BIRTHDAY GAL: Actress
Renee Olstead was born in
Houston, Texas, on this date
in 1989. This birthday gal
portrayed Madison on "The
Secret Life of an American
Teenager" from 2008-2013
and Lauren on "Still Standing" from 2002-2006. On the
big screen, Olstead's film
work includes "The Midnight Game," "13 Going On
30" and "End Of Days," as
well as starring in the TV
movies "The Bling Ring"
and "Point Of Entry."
ARIES (March 21-April
19): Don't throw the toys out
of the pram. Temper
tantrums won't make life
easier for you or anyone
else. You'll get what you
want much easier if you
smile and enjoy the ride.
Real Estate
wins with his king, leads
his second spade, receives a spade ruff and
cashes the diamond ace
for down one.
Note finally that declarer does best to call
for dummy's spade king
at trick one, making it
more likely that East
will have a reflex reaction and win with his
ace.
Jeraldine Saunders
keep up with dynamic cohorts, you could jump into
projects without adequate
preparation.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.
21): Pawns seldom receive
the same appreciation as a
knight. On the chessboard
of life, you may sometimes
feel expendable, especially
when you have to lead the
way and make the first
move.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Wave your flag or
root for the home team. You
can make home runs in
business or score points
with a family member by
making a sincere and honest plea for cooperation.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): Make up, make it up,
and make it better. You'll go
further if you can be seen as
the soul of generosity. Make
an effort to get relationships back on track or to fix
whatever is broken.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18): It's time to improve
your life by educating yourself. If history repeats itself,
then you haven't learned its
lessons. You can't expect to
get different results when
you do the same thing over
and over again.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20): An unexpected change
in plans could prove fortuitous. You might stumble
into a position of prominence by being at the right
place at the right time. Accept any opportunities offered now.
IF JUNE 18 IS YOUR
BIRTHDAY: Keep your big
ideas under wraps for a few
weeks. If you must launch a
new project, wait until late
July when your judgment is
better than usual and your
popularity peaks. July is
also a good time to pursue
romantic relationships and
an even better time for business changes, financial decisions and career moves.
You could be too wrapped
up in pursuing "the impossible dream" in September
and ruin your chances of
achieving a possible dream.
You might not be completely realistic during that
time and unprepared for
extra duties and responsibilities in November.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS |
Public notices allow citizens to monitor their government and make sure that it is
working in their best interest. Independent newspapers assist in this cause by
carrying out their partnership with the people’s right to know through public
notices. By offering an independent and archived record of public notices,
newspapers foster a more trusting relationship between government and its
citizens.
Newspapers have the experience and expertise in publishing public notices and
have done so since the Revolutionary War. Today, they remain an established,
trustworthy and neutral source that ably transfers information between
government and the people.
Public notices are the lasting record of how the public’s resources are used and are
presented in the most efficient and effective means possible.

authored a book on the 'Rosebud Battle' and 'New
Facts on Seven Encounters' including from research on
the Fetterman Fight south of Sheridan. John Stands in
Timber was interviewed by Dr. Margot Liberty for the
book Cheyenne Memories, and was the Northern
Cheyenne Tribal historian. A recent 2nd edition of the
book has been issued with a new updated bibliography
and new preface by Margot Liberty, bringing the story
of the Northern Cheyenne peoples up to date. This

OLYMPICS: Weekend
includes other events
FROM B1
Allison Harker, vice president of program for
Special Olympics Wyoming, says the process
for the games began more than a year ago.
“We submit a quota for the sports that have
the highest participation,” Harker said. “The
National Games Organizing Committee then
decides on how many athletes we can take.”
Any athlete that has won a gold medal in a
state competition becomes eligible for the USA
Games, but a little luck is involved in being
selected, as well.
“We take all the winners from state competitions and put their names into a hat,” Harker
said. “We draw at random who gets to attend.
We draw one athlete and two alternates for
each sport.”
Each coach must go through an application
process before being selected, too.
“Every coach must submit an application for
the specific sport he or she wants to coach,”
Harker said. “Then we interview them and
contact their references, just to make sure they
are a good fit.”
The games are just one part of a fun-filled
weekend for the athletes. Along with the competition, athletes get to attend a Trenton
Thunder baseball game, a dinner cruise in
Manhattan Harbor, and visit Special Olympics
Town.
They also got the chance to attend the
Opening Ceremonies on Sunday.
“It’s funny because the Opening Ceremonies
involve around 18,000 people,” Harker said.
“That’s more than the population of
Sheridan.”
When it all boils down to it, though, the athletes come to the games to compete.
“The other stuff is good and great, but the
competition is my favorite part,” Harker said.
“Just seeing these athletes trying their hardest
and seeing them show off their medals, that’s
the best part.”
“It’s great representation to have for Special
Olympics Wyoming,” Harker said. “The athletes come back with a whole new perspective.
They can share their excitement with their
city, which is great for the state and the Special
Olympics.”
Grosch, Maes, Roberts and Cotton, along with
the 45 other representatives from Wyoming,
will compete throughout the week until
Closing Ceremonies on Saturday.

Mexican fans
descend on
World Cup
SAO PAULO (AP) — Some outsiders think Latin America is one
big culture, but with only a few
thousand Mexicans living in Brazil,
a tortilla can seem as exotic here as
Indian curry.
A day before Brazil took on
Mexico in the World Cup, a few
Brazilians lined up to take pictures
with a sombrero that read “Viva
Mexico!” on Monday.
Mexican tourists brought two of
the hats with them from the city of
Leon.
The Mexican fans were quite the
attraction, standing up on their
chairs while they sang “canta y no
llores.” That’s Spanish for “sing and
don’t cry,” from the popular folk
song “Cielito Lindo.”
A young Brazilian woman said she
wanted a photo with the sombrero
to prove to her friends that she had
run into a seemingly incredible
number of Mexicans, who had all
arrived for the tournament.
SOCCER: Tens of thousands of Americans in attendance
FROM B1
The Black Stars regrouped at halftime, and the U.S.
looked punchless on the attack. Ghana enjoyed 59 percent
of the possession in the game.
Ghana applied relentless pressure on U.S. goalkeeper
Tim Howard and finally drew even when captain Asamoah
Gyan flicked a backheel pass to Andre Ayew, who used the
outside of his left foot for a powerful shot.
Ghana was still pressing when Brooks scored. The 21year-old who plays for Hertha Berlin in the Bundesliga,
appeared shocked, raising his hands to his head before
falling to the ground to be mobbed by his teammates.
“It’s a special moment for the boy, he did well,”
Klinsmann said.
“What I can say is it was a very tough game,” Ghana
coach Kwesi Appiah said. “Playing at this level any little
mistake can cost you dearly. We didn’t deserve to get the
first goal against us.”
Under the slogan of “One Nation. One Team”, tens of
thousands of U.S. fans descended on this coastal city.
While the American fans’ chanted “U-S-A!,” the constant
rhythms and dancing from the smaller Ghana contingent
were soon joined by many of the locals who cheered whenever the Black Stars launched an attack.
“We managed to do the hardest part which was to equalize and push. And we take a goal on set pieces. We know
that’s one of their strong points,” Ayew aid.
ROCKIES: Poor fielding, pitching lead to loss
FROM B1
Blackmon had trouble picking up
the ball twice. First, he stumbled
while bending down for it against the
lower fence in foul ground and had to
chase it back into fair territory —
where he missed on his second
attempt to grab it. By the time he
relayed it back to the infield, it was
way too late to get Gordon, who was
credited with his major league-leading
seventh triple.
“I thought it was an inside-the-park
homer, to be honest, because I didn’t
think he touched it,” said Gordon,
who had four hits. “It just scooted
away from him. But it is what it is and
I’ll be all right with what I got.”
Matt Kemp singled home a run later
that inning and doubled home another
run on the sixth. He started in the
cleanup spot for the fifth time this season, and the Dodgers have won every
time. Regular cleanup hitter Adrian
Gonzalez got the night off while Scott
Van Slyke played first base.
“I think it’s fun, for us to have a little hit party here and there and enjoy
it.,” Kemp said. “We’ve had a tough little stretch, but that happens in baseball. Hopefully we don’t hit one of
those again and we stay consistent
and keep grinding it out.”
Hyun-Jin Ryu (8-3) allowed a run
and three hits in six innings and
struck out six in his 13th start. In his
first 13 starts last season — his first in
the major leagues — the left-hander
was 8-5 with a 2.85 ERA. This was the
ninth time this year that Ryu has
allowed fewer than three earned runs,
and he is 7-0 in those games.
“This guy’s pretty impressive in the
fact that he’s seen those guys a bunch
this year,” catcher A.J. Ellis said.
“They battled him really hard tonight.
That was probably the hottest team in
the National League right now coming
in here, but he had command of all of
his pitches and used both sides of the
plate extremely well — especially to
the left-handed hitters. It’s a dangerous team, and he did a great job staying out of the middle of the plate.”
Ellis, Hanley Ramirez and Yasiel
Puig had RBI singles. Ryu and four
relievers retired 16 of the final 17
Colorado batters after Wilin Rosario’s
two-out homer in the fourth.
Gordon, who leads the majors with
36 stolen bases, was thrown out for the
sixth time — by Rosario in the first
inning. The Rockies’ 22-year-old catcher trimmed the Dodgers’ lead to 2-1 in
the fourth with his seventh homer,
driving an 0-2 pitch into the pavilion
in left field with two outs.
But Ellis got that run back in the
fifth with just his second RBI of an
injury-plagued season in which the
Dodgers’ No. 1 catcher missed 34
games because of knee surgery and
sat out another 18 with a sprained
right ankle. Ellis’ two singles raised
his average from .196 to .222.
“Maybe a lot of that time on the DL
has been a blessing for me, to kind of
mentally kind of figure out who I am
and what my skill set should be as an
offensive player,” Ellis said. “While I
couldn’t run, I was still able to do a lot
of work in the cage these last couple
of weeks. I got back to swinging the
way I know I’m supposed to swing and
being the hitter I’ve been my whole
career — a guy who works the count,
takes a lot of pitches, uses the middle
of the field and tries to be a really
tough out.” Matzek (1-1) allowed three
runs and 10 hits through five innings
in his second big league start and did
not strike out a batter, five days after
giving up two runs over seven innings
and fanning seven in an 8-2 victory
over Atlanta at Coors Field.
“It wasn’t the same. The slider
wasn’t there as much and I was falling
behind hitters early,” Matzek said.
“Ten hits, obviously, is disappointing.
I realize that. But I thought I did a
pretty good job keeping runs off the
board.”
NOTES: A moment of silence was
observed for Hall of Famer Tony
Gwynn, who died Monday at age 54.
Gwynn’s brother Chris and son Tony
both played for the Dodgers. “He was
just a genius with the bat,” Dodgers
Hall of Fame broadcaster Vin Scully
said. ... Perhaps the biggest of
Gwynn’s 140 career hits at Dodger
Stadium came on Sept. 28, 1996, when
his tiebreaking two-run single in the
eighth inning off Mark Guthrie
helped clinched a postseason berth for
the Padres. ... Forget about RHP Chad
Billingsley rejoining the Dodgers’ roster before the end of the season. He
has a torn flexor tendon in his right
elbow, which will require surgery next
Tuesday. Billingsley hasn’t pitched in
a major league game since April 15,
2013, nine days before he underwent
Tommy John surgery. ... The Rockies
optioned struggling RHP Juan Nicasio
to Triple-A Colorado Springs and promoted OF-1B Kyle Parker from the
Sky Sox. Parker, selected in the first
round of the 2010 draft, made his big
league debut in the eighth inning as a
pinch-hitter and struck out.
