Houck said she tries to change her
room every year and garners fresh ideas
from a variety of sources.
“Really, Pinterest is a big one, I have to
admit,” she said, noting that many teachers she knows use the website to get
ideas. “We have a small budget (for supplies). But you recycle and you make a lot
of your own things, repurpose and reuse.
And some things are just out of pocket.”
Houck also said her room will continue
to change through the year as she
rearranges desks and chairs, adds artwork and work assignments to the wall
and changes out posters and charts.
Fourth-grade teacher
Mandy Roseberry, who
teaches at Henry A.
Coffeen, also noted that
her room will change as
the year progresses
and her students
contribute to the
room’s
décor.

BIG HORN — It used to be a fairly
straightforward process. A globe got
placed on the desk. An American flag
was hung in a corner. Posters and charts
were taped to walls. Chairs and desks
were arranged and chalkboards were
filled with rules and messages.
However, decorating a classroom for
the start of school these days is a whole
new ballgame.
With classrooms now dominated by
computers and other technology, the old
decorations of the past are integrated
with high tech gadgets and devices, even
in elementary classrooms.
“To me, this is the fun part, decorating
it and making it your own,” Big Horn
Elementary first-grade teacher Caroline
Houck said. “They spend their whole day
here and I want it to be as fun as possible and comfortable. I try to make it as
homey as possible. I always say that we
are a home away from home.”
While some wall charts that run the
length of the white boards, like capital
and lower case letters and numbers
charts, are standard decorations that a
former student of any age would recognize, they are now interspersed with
SMART boards, computers and document cameras.
“Anything I put up on my (desk) computer will be displayed,” Houck
explained about how the SMART board
works. “It is interactive so they can play
educational
games, we can
show videos
on it and we
can do interactive software. We have a
lot of really great
technology here. It
is a lot different from
when we were in
school and they barely had computers!”
“I think it really gets
the students’ attention,” added Tina
Martoglio, also a first-grade teacher at
BHE. “They are totally tuned in because
it is on the computer. It is fun and interactive. They also come in knowing a lot
about technology. Technology is a joy for
the kids, honestly. And we love it too,
when it works.”
Because classrooms are emptied of
everything at the end of the school year
so the rooms can be deep-cleaned, each
year teachers start from scratch with
decorating.
Houck’s room was almost complete
this week and ready for her new students when they begin class Aug. 26.
Houck will have 12 students this year
compared to 18 last year, which gave her
a little more flexibility with room
arrangement. Because of an emphasis on
literacy this year in the school, Houck
scattered books throughout the room and
filled a special reading nook with a bookshelf, rug, a couple chairs and a childsize couch.

“I
make
things with the
kids as the
year goes on,
so the space
becomes a
space they created also,” she said.
Roseberry said while
she strives to make her
room welcoming to new students, she
also focuses on organization and efficiency. She said she puts a lot of her efforts
into making the room user friendly with
easily accessible tools and supplies that
her students will need throughout the
day.
She also noted that technology has
changed how she arranges her classroom,
but said new, smaller devices such as
mini-laptops and iPads make the process
easier.
“The devices are so compact now and it
saves a lot of space,” she said. “They are
pretty fabulous. Even from when I did my
student teaching, not really that long ago,
there is so much more available, versus
just the overhead projector. That is what I
used when I was student teaching.”
But keeping the “home” room feel is
always a priority. By providing a safe and
comforting room to spend the day in,
teachers are able to create a space that
fosters learning and creativity.
“First impressions make a big difference,” Roseberry said. “When the kids
walk into the room you want them to feel
welcome and think it is a place they will
enjoy and want to be in for eight hours a
day.”
“Even though they’ve been to kindergarten, there is some fear,” Martoglio
added about the first few days of school
for youngsters.
“I’ve had kids come in crying. But we
take care of them. We give them a lot of
love and care and then get right into the
academics,” she added.

2 Russian cosmonauts
turn cable guys in spacewalk
COURTESY PHOTO |
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) —
Spacewalking cosmonauts rigged cable outside the International Space Station on
Friday for a new lab that’s due to arrive in
a few months.
Fyodor Yurchikhin hitched a ride to the
work site on the end of a 46-foot boom operated by his spacewalking partner,
Aleksandr Misurkin. Two big reels of
power and Ethernet cable accompanied
Yurchikhin.
Yurchikhin asked his partner if he was
positioned properly on the boom.
“You look great,” Misurkin assured him.
“You look perfect.”
“Thank you,” Yurchikhin replied. “I don’t
want to blush.”
“It just looks like you’re in space,”
Misurkin said. “Everything is black around
you.”
They secured the cables to the space station, using handrails and hooks.
Friday’s spacewalk occurred exactly one
month after an Italian astronaut almost
drowned when leaking water flooded his
helmet during a spacewalk.
Luca Parmitano’s spacesuit was provided
by NASA. Friday’s spacewalkers wore
Russian-made suits that differ from the U.S.
version.
NASA is still investigating last month’s
close call. The problem appears to be in the
life-support backpack. The spacesuit will
be sent back for analysis early next year.
Until the trouble is identified and resolved,
U.S. spacewalks are on hold.
The Russian Space Agency plans to
launch a new science lab by year’s end. It’s
the last major piece due at the orbiting outpost, active since 1998, and will replace a
12-year-old Russian docking compartment
that doubles as an air lock.
This is the third of six Russian spacewalks planned for this year. The next one is
next Thursday, again by Yurchikhin and
Misurkin. The two cosmonauts teamed up
for a spacewalk in June.
The four other space station residents —
two Americans, another Russian and Italy’s
Parmitano — monitored the spacewalk
from inside. Russian Mission Control outside Moscow directed the operation.
1 killed in accident at
Black Thunder mine
GILLETTE (AP) — Authorities say a power shovel
crashed into two pickup trucks at a northeast Wyoming
coal mine, killing one worker and injuring another.
Campbell County Sheriff Bill Pownall says the accident
occurred at Arch Coal’s Black Thunder mine about 1:30
a.m. Friday.
Pownall says 24-year-old Jacob Dowdy, of Upton, was pronounced dead at the scene, while 38-year-old Mike Lewis, of
Wright, was taken to Campbell County Memorial Hospital
where he was listed in good condition.
The preliminary investigation indicates that the power
shovel was traveling up a ramp when it rolled back into the
two pickup trucks.
Dowdy had been an employee of Thunder Basin Coal Co.,
Arch Coal’s subsidiary that operates the mine, for about
three years.
The federal Mine Safety and Health Administration is
investigating.

UW receives $56M in private giving
LARAMIE (AP) — The University of Wyoming received a record $56 million in private giving in the fiscal year ending on June 30.
The total eclipsed UW’s previous record of $43.1 million in contributions in 2011 and
is the first time in UW’s history that private philanthropy has surpassed the $50 million mark.
UW says it received contributions from 25,245 donors.
The largest gifts it received last year were $10 million from Marian Rochelle and $6
million from Mick and Susie McMurry for construction of a state-of-the-art welcome
center.
The Rochelle Gateway Center will be the single largest campus facility to be built
with private donations.
The energy industry also continues to support UW’s energy research and facilities.
The Hess Corp. gave $4.4 million, and ExxonMobil $2.5 million.
NY mayor proposes
fingerprinting at public housing
NEW YORK (AP) — New York City
public housing tenants should be fingerprinted as a way of keeping criminals
out of their buildings, Mayor Michael
Bloomberg suggested Friday, adding that
the buildings often had broken locks that
allowed trespassers in.
His remark appeared offhanded, and
the city is not working on a program that
would have building doors only open by
a resident’s fingerprint. But the comment, which comes just days after a key
Bloomberg public safety measure was
deemed unconstitutional, immediately
drew criticism from several candidates
battling to be City Hall’s next occupant.
Bloomberg, speaking during his weekly appearance on WOR Radio, was musing that a court decision this week to
limit the police tactic known as stop-andfrisk may make it more difficult for officers to protect New York City Housing
Authority buildings.
Bloomberg believes stop-and-frisk has
driven down crime. Its critics say the
measure — which allows police to stop
people deemed acting suspiciously —
unfairly discriminates against black and
Latinos, the same groups that make up
the bulk of public housing residents.
Within an hour, mayoral hopeful Bill
Thompson derided the fingerprinting
idea as “disrespectful” and “disgraceful.”
“Just like stop-and-frisk, this is another direct act of treating minorities like
criminals,” said Thompson, a former
city comptroller, in a statement. “Mayor
Bloomberg wants to make New Yorkers
feel like prisoners in their own homes.”
Public Advocate Bill de Blasio, who has
moved to the top of Democratic primary
polls, called Bloomberg “out of touch”
and urged the mayor to instead install
security cameras within the buildings,
which house more than 400,000 people.
Critics also said the idea echoed the
Bloomberg administration’s 2012 plan to
require fingerprints from food stamp
applicants. Gov. Andrew Cuomo banned
that idea.
Bloomberg’s spokesman later
explained that the city is planning to
install electronic key pads and key card
locks on buildings to improve security.
He also noted that fingerprint scan technology is becoming more common and is
expected to be coming to smartphones.
The city is fighting U.S. District Judge
Shira Scheindlin’s ruling imposing
reforms on the NYPD’s stop-and-frisk
policy. She also has ordered changes to
an NYPD patrol program inside private
buildings.

LANDER (AP) — After nearly a decade
of reconstruction, the Carissa Gold Mine
is coming back to life for all to see, with
the grand opening scheduled for Sunday
near the South Pass City State Historic
Site south of Lander.
The tours are free and run from 10 a.m.
to 3 p.m.
Though tours of the Carissa have been
offered in the past, Sunday marks the
public’s first chance to see the mine’s
newly installed, fully functional equipment — 50 tons of steel that wasn’t there
before — in action, operating at an earsplitting 100 to 130 decibels.
“The period of restoration we’re looking at is post-World War II,” site curator
Jon Lane said. “1946 through 1949 is the
era where the mine and mill last ran
three eight-hour shifts round the clock.”
Around that time, the Carissa was said
to be capable of processing 100 tons of
ore daily, though it probably milled closer
to 60 tons per day — producing around 16
ounces of gold, Lane said. An estimated
50,000 to 180,000 ounces of gold came out
of the Carissa before it closed permanently in 1954.
When the Carissa closed, four essential
pieces of equipment, the ball mill, spiral
classifier, mineral jig and Wilfley table,
were sold.
“When you close, you generally liquidate your property to pay your bills, to
pay your employees,” Lane said.
In 2009, the Wyoming Legislature provided funding to replace the missing
pieces.
Equipment was sourced from vendors
of outdated or antique equipment
throughout the Rocky Mountain West,
Lane said. The crew even managed to
locate the same whiffling table that was
removed from the mine half a century
ago.
But the installation of that machinery
represents only the final touch in an
ongoing process. Working with the federal Abandoned Mine Lands project and the
Wyoming Historic Mine Trail initiative,
the South Pass Historic Site began a
series of renovations and restorations
after the state’s purchase of the Carissa
in 2003.
The challenge since then has been to
balance the goal of maintaining the site’s
historical integrity with the practical
concerns associated with taking the public into an almost 150-year-old excavation
containing working heavy machinery.
“The work that began about 10 years
ago, right after the purchase, was looking
at the mine hazards — open shafts — you
know, where there’s a giant hole in the
ground and you throw the pebble and you
never hear it hit the bottom,” Lane said.
Open shafts either were fenced off or
sealed with removable foam. Structural
stabilization followed, along with precautionary measures to ensure that chemical
hazards would be contained.
The water and other materials run
through the mill will be recirculated and
self-contained.
“We’re not discharging or releasing
anything into the environment,” Lane
said. “We’re keeping everything within
that building.”
The development of the plumbing and
electrical systems required some creativity. Modeled after 1946 systems, these systems needed to comply with modern safety standards.
“We’re not dealing with 1946 construction codes or electrical codes,” Lane said.
This meant implementing some “hybrid
systems,” he said, “armored electrical
cable, for example, as opposed to the two
live wires stapled to the surface of the
wood.
“You’ve got your full functionality and
safety of the modern twenty-first century,
but it blends in or is camouflaged well
within the architecture of the building
and the design of the systems themselves,” Lane said.
Lights came on in the Carissa last year
for the first time since the mine’s closure.
Another safety measure was the addition of stair rails, which were not present
when the mine was in use.
“We know historically they were open
stairways, because the people who we had
a chance to interview that worked there
said their number-one and number-two
issues were electrocution because of bad
wiring in 1946, and then falling down
stairs because there weren’t any railings,” Lane said.
Although the interior resembles the
mine’s 1946 appearance, the exterior and
layout resemble that of 1929.
After Sunday’s grand opening, the mine
will be open for public tours Saturday
and Sunday afternoons beginning Aug.
24, lasting into the fall and winter as
weather permits.
The later tours will cost $2 per person
for Wyoming residents and $4 for non-residents. Admission for children under 18
is free. Group size is capped at about 25
people per tour.
Tours are also provided for free to educational groups. Touring the Carissa
requires the navigation of moderately
narrow staircases.

Vote ‘no’ on
Tech Center
Re: Aug. 20 referendum
My position is no more
new taxes. The expansion of
the (Sheridan College) Tech
Center has merit, but not at
the expense of putting
another tax on the residents
of Sheridan County.
Regardless of the level of
government (local, state,
federal), new spending must
cease; we can't afford it.
If the college desires to
expand a program or facility, let them acquire the
funds through individual
and organizational donations.
When the funds are
acquired, pursue the expansion plans. Otherwise, no
new taxes and no spending
unless the funds are “in the
bank.”
Remember, to stay home
and not vote is a “yes” vote
for the bond and an additional tax burden on all residents of Sheridan County.

Employer needs
SC-trained grads
Re: Tech Center vote
As an operator of an
industrial company, a member of the Sheridan College
machine tool technology
advisory committee, and a
past/present employer of
dozens of Sheridan College
technical program students,
I’m asking Sheridan County
residents to support this
effort and vote in favor of
the bond issue.
Our county and state are
desperate for more technically trained workers, and
this initiative will definitely
help the situation. With
each new opening, we struggle to find qualified applicants to fill a position. For
example, I’ve advertised
locally for three technical
jobs lately, yielding a total
of four qualified applications for these jobs. During
the same period, we posted
a single job for a
clerical/purchasing position, which produced
dozens of qualified applications. The cost of labor in
industry is trending higher
very quickly compared to
white-collar jobs. The quality and depth of the employee pool holds back companies from being able to take
advantage of growth opportunities and sometimes
even maintain their current
operational platforms.
Since 1997, Craftco Metals
Services, Inc., has employed
27 Sheridan College-trained
machinists and welders,
more than 25 percent of our
workforce, and many others
have taken classes to
enhance their careers outside of a degree or certificate program. I’ve heard
arguments recently that
this department expansion
won’t have a large impact
on our local community.
Based upon this statistic,
and similar stories from
other industrial companies,
I feel that statement is false.
We have seen recent growth
in our industrial base here
in Sheridan with no additional throughput from the
Sheridan College programs
that support it. We do not
have qualified people lined
up at our doors. We are
fools to think that all of
these students will stay in
Sheridan County, but many
of them will. Many others
stay in Wyoming and fill the
huge voids we have
statewide.
We must also look at the
other benefits that this
expansion provides. It
brings more students, both
local and not, into these
programs, thus into
Sheridan. General growth
of Sheridan College student
population is good for
Sheridan County. Not to
mention the added jobs in
the construction phase, the
added teaching, maintenance, and support staff,
and local spending to support the ongoing operations
of the programs. These students and professionals
involved all drive, eat,
recreate and live in
Sheridan County. Today,
students are being turned
away…many of them
searching for greener pastures far from here.
Industrial businesses that
may be looking to relocate
here are also much more
likely to consider Sheridan
County if the support systems they need are in place.
We’ve seen some excellent
diversification in our local
economy from light industrial companies over the
past few years and more
sure would not hurt.
This bond issue supports
our community, our local
businesses and our local
students. A ‘yes’ vote is a
vote supporting the future
of Sheridan County and
Wyoming on the whole.

Fiscal conservative
OK with higher tax
Re: SC bond isse
I support the Sheridan
College Tech Center, and
will vote “yes” on Aug. 20. I
write this as a fiscal conservative who has always voted
no to raising taxes of any
kind.
I’m voting yes because I
am a tradesman. I don’t
believe that every young
person needs a four-year
degree — not everyone is
suited for that kind of education (not to mention the
debt that often accompanies
such a degree). For some
reason, people tend to look
down upon a trade education, and trade jobs in general. But these are the jobs
that are not only available
in this country, they are in
demand. And it’s no longer
possible in many of these
professions to start at the
bottom and work your way
up without first being educated in the new technology
of the field.
Earning my trade degree
allowed me to be self-
employed for over 30 years.
This country needs people
who have the skill set for
certain kinds of manual
labor (welders, machinists,
diesel mechanics, etc.), and
we need to respect these
jobs and the people who do
them.
I have always voted no for
any measure that raises
taxes, but I will vote yes for
this one, because it will
allow people to get the
training they need, and it
will allow them to have a
successful career in the
trades. The trade jobs are
out there, just waiting to be
filled. This bond issue will
give those people who want
those jobs, who will find
creativity and pleasure in
them, an opportunity they
might not otherwise have.

What’s at stake: Can presidents write their own laws?
A
s a reaction to the crack epidemic
of the 1980s, many federal drug
laws carry strict mandatory sentences. This has stirred unease in
Congress and sparked a bipartisan effort
to revise and relax some of the more draconian laws.
Traditionally — meaning before
Barack Obama — that's how laws were
changed: We have a problem, we hold
CHARLES
hearings, we find some new arrangement, ratified by Congress and signed
KRAUTHAMMER
by the president.
|
That was then. On Monday, Attorney
General Eric Holder, a liberal in a
hurry, ordered all U.S. attorneys to simply stop charging nonviolent, non-gang-related drug defendants with crimes that, while fitting the offense, carry
mandatory sentences. Find some lesser, non-triggering
charge. How might you do that? Withhold evidence — e.g.,
about the amount of dope involved.
In other words, evade the law, by deceiving the court if
necessary. "If the companies that I represent in federal
criminal cases" did that, said former Deputy Attorney
General George Terwilliger, "they could be charged with a
felony."
But such niceties must not stand in the way of an
administration's agenda. Indeed, the very next day, it was
revealed that the administration had unilaterally waived
Obamacare's cap on a patient's annual out-of-pocket
expenses — a one-year exemption for selected health
insurers that is nowhere permitted in the law. It was simply decreed by an obscure Labor Department regulation.

Which followed a presidentially directed 70-plus percent
subsidy for the insurance premiums paid by congressmen
and their personal staffs — under a law that denies subsidies for anyone that well-off.
Which came just a month after the administration's
equally lawless suspension of one of the cornerstones of
Obamacare: the employer mandate.
Which followed hundreds of Obamacare waivers granted
by Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen
Sebelius to selected businesses, unions and other well-lobbied, very special interests.
Nor is this kind of rule-by-decree restricted to health
care. In 2012, the immigration service was ordered to cease
proceedings against young illegal immigrants brought
here as children. Congress had refused to pass such a law
(the DREAM Act) just 18 months earlier. Obama himself
had repeatedly said that the Constitution forbade him
from enacting it without Congress. But with the fast
approach of an election that could hinge on the Hispanic
vote, Obama did exactly that. Unilaterally.
The point is not what you think about the merits of the
DREAM Act. Or of mandatory drug sentences. Or of subsidizing health care premiums for $175,000-a-year members of Congress. Or even whether you think governors
should be allowed to weaken the work requirements for
welfare recipients — an authority the administration
granted last year in clear violation of section 407 of the
landmark Clinton-Gingrich welfare reform of 1996.
The point is whether a president, charged with faithfully
executing the laws that Congress enacts, may create,
ignore, suspend and/or amend the law at will. Presidents
are arguably permitted to refuse to enforce laws they consider unconstitutional (the basis for so many of George W.

Bush's so-called signing statements). But presidents are
forbidden from doing so for reason of mere policy — the
reason for every Obama violation listed above.
Such gross executive usurpation disdains the
Constitution. It mocks the separation of powers. And most
consequentially, it introduces a fatal instability into law
itself. If the law is not what is plainly written, but is whatever the president and his agents decide, what's left of the
law?
What's the point of the whole legislative process — of
crafting various provisions through give-and-take negotiation — if you cannot rely on the fixity of the final product,
on the assurance that the provisions bargained for by both
sides will be carried out?
Consider immigration reform. The essence of any deal
would be legalization in return for strict border enforcement. If some such legislative compromise is struck, what
confidence can anyone have in it — if the president can
unilaterally alter what he signs?
Yet this president is not only untroubled by what he's
doing, but open and rather proud. As he tells cheering
crowds on his never-ending campaign-style tours: I am
going to do X — and I'm not going to wait for Congress.
That's caudillo talk. That's banana republic stuff. In this
country, the president is required to win the consent of
Congress first.
At stake is not some constitutional curlicue. At stake is
whether the laws are the law. And whether presidents get
to write their own.

I
t is hard to believe that the
Chamber Brewfest Fundraiser
is only three weeks away. For
those of you that DID not
attend last year’s event, let me
give you a little recap: beer tasting from the best microbreweries
in the region, live music, delicious food and lots of fun!
MEREDITH
The Chamber of Commerce is
a nonprofit organization whose
SOPKO
mission is to be the proactive
|
voice of local business, working
for the promotion, protection
and prosperity of our members
and community. Our membership dues and onecent optional money that we receive from the city
and county make up about 57 percent of our
annual operating budget, which leaves about 43
percent of our operating budget to be raised
through non-dues revenue. That is why our
Brewfest, our largest fundraiser of the year, is so
important. Without the support of this community through programs and events like the
Brewfest, the Chamber would not be able to continue to be a voice for our local businesses and
community.
This year’s event, which is presented again by
our friends at Fremont Toyota, will be on
Saturday, Sept. 7 from 3-8 p.m. and is shaping up
to be even bigger this year than last. Whitney
Plaza will again be the location for our event and
already we have 16 breweries signed up with
more coming in every day. Our food vendors are
all lined up with delicious food to pair with the
beer, and John Kirlin and the High Plains
Drifters and The Patti Fiasco Band will
be providing the live music. The People’s
Just clowning around?
hildren, children. Here we are in the
midst of a bloody clash in Egypt,
more than 100,000 slaughtered in
Syria, another looming debt crisis at
home, and we're consumed with angst over
a rodeo clown who wore
an Obama mask and
invited the crowd to
cheer for the bulls.
There's more. The
clown has been fired. The
president of the Missouri
Rodeo Cowboy
Association has stepped
down. The Missouri State
KATHLEEN
Fair is forcing clowns to
PARKER
undergo sensitivity train|
ing. The NAACP wants a
Justice Department
investigation into the
clown act as a hate crime. And a Texas congressman has invited the clown to come on
down.
It seems impossible to take this seriously,
yet seriously we must take it. Here we go.
The clown act was offensive for one reason
only: The president is black. No peep would
have been made otherwise. But therein lies
a difference and a distinction that deserves
our unbiased scrutiny.
A word about my own biases: I don't like
rodeos and I don't like clowns. The former
involve animals performing involuntarily
and the latter are creepy. (I don't like zoos
and circuses, either.)
But clowns are ... clowns! It's their job to
poke the precious and touch the untouchable. They are inherently rude, irreverent,
insulting, insensitive and sometimes salacious. Presidents, obviously, are fair game
and every modern president's face has been
made into a mask.
Still. There's something wrong with this
clown act. It isn't a hate crime, which is a
ridiculous charge, but it is something we
need to wrap our minds around. First, let's
correct a popular mischaracterization.
Wearing an Obama mask is not tantamount
to "blackface," which is implicitly racist.
When the president's face is "black," then
the president's mask is necessarily "black."
Unless, apparently, the person wearing
the mask is white, as was the rodeo clown.
Question: If a black person wears a
George W. Bush mask, is he racist? The
next logical question answers the first:
What if the clown wears a Bush mask at an
event attended primarily by blacks and
invites the crowd to cheer for the bulls?
This unlikely event would feel offensive
for the same reasons the recent clown event
did. The Missouri rodeo audience was
mostly white and the masked man in the
ring was depicting a black man. This
changes everything we think about humor,
about clowns, and about good old-fashioned
fun.
Just as N-jokes are no longer funny to
almost anyone, placing a black man in the
arena like an unarmed gladiator isn't
amusing. As much as we aspire to racial
harmony, we have centuries of history to
overcome, including the mob-inspired
lynching of black men, and this is what so
many saw in the clown skit. Memory conquers humor.
To be honest, my first reaction was: What
a lot of bull. But then, as one must, I put
myself in the other's shoes. How would I
feel if my face were on the clown's mask
and the arena were filled with men who
cheered the beast who would trample and
destroy me?
This is where political commentary
becomes something else. Frightening. We
all know what happens when the mob is
empowered, especially when further
emboldened by the excuse of humor. Few
statements are more dishonest than "It's
just a joke."
I am the last person who would suggest
that irreverence be censored or punished -or that clowns be sensitized. The excessively reverent are far scarier to me than those
who would die laughing. Political satire is,
in fact, a public service inasmuch as it
channels aggression that otherwise might
find bloody expression.
But a civil society should find reprehensible even mock violence against a president,
especially one who belongs to a minority
that was once targeted for state-sanctioned
violence.
I sincerely doubt that the rodeo clown
was motivated by racial hatred. I also
doubt that President Obama much cared,
except for how his daughters might feel
about it. Or, to be cynical, about the degree
to which public outrage accrued to his
political advantage. I even give the benefit
of the doubt to those who cheered the bulls
as being inspired by political rather than
racial animus.
And, yes, reaction has been overblown to
the point of silliness, but there are lessons,
nonetheless. We could stand to tone down
our political expression for the sake of all
our daughters and sons, who bear witness
to these events and must make sense of
their world. Perhaps more to the point, we
might try to take ourselves more lightly.

can vote for your favorite brewery with the winner taking home the coveted Balding Sheridan

I would also like to “raise a glass” to all of our

I encourage everyone to come out to Whitney

WHY PUBLIC NOTICES ARE IMPORTANT |
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.

72-year-old remains active in fighting fires
RAWLINS (AP) — Joe Remick began
fighting fires when he was 19 years old. He
has fought fires in every western state
except Nevada, New Mexico and Utah. He’s
fought fires in Florida and Georgia.
“Coast to coast, I like to say,” he said.
More than 150 in his whole career, he
said.
Remick is 72 now and still works as a volunteer firefighter in Encampment.
He just finished fighting the West Battle
Creek Fire, which was started by a lightning strike and burned through more than
100 acres of terrain in the Sierra Madre
Range of the Medicine Bow National
Forest.
During the first five to 10 minutes of
arriving at the scene, Remick and other
firefighters were cutting down burning
trees, he said. The fire site wasn’t much
bigger than the meeting room at
Encampment Fire Department.
Then several young trees with branches
low to the ground exploded into the air.
“It was just like throwing a match into a
whole can of gasoline,” Remick said. “It
went so quick.”
The fire turned out to be 15 spot fires that
never actually burned together because the
wind wasn’t blowing strong enough.
“We were very fortunate,” Remick said.
“It had the potential to be a really bad fire.
It could’ve covered (a large) distance in one
day if we had a good, strong wind.”
Remick said firefighting is not his career.
He’s a retired range conservationist.
After high school Remick went to forestry
school in Montana. There, he had a “good
fire instructor,” Remick said, and the
excitement of fighting fires drew him in.
He moved to Encampment in 1977 and
joined the volunteer force in 1978.
It drew his son in, too, who also works in
Encampment as a volunteer firefighter.
Remick’s grandson flies helicopters in
Sacramento, Calif., fighting fires.
“You get to work with lots of good people,” Remick said.
Remick leads the Firewise grant program
in Carbon County, which essentially gives
residents reimbursement funds for making
their homes more “fireproof.”
Owners must have 90 to 100 feet of space
around their home, keep the ground clear
of sticks and branches, keep the lowest tree
branches at least 10 feet off the ground and
keep branch tips on different trees at least
10 feet apart.
The grant pays up to a $2,100 reimbursement, Remick said.
Remick received his structural firefighter
II certification from the state. He has a wild
land fire certification for task force leader,
which means he can run any combination
of hand crews, engines or bulldozers.
He’s also a structural protection specialist.
“One of the biggest joys is helping people,” Remick said.
Small towns often can’t afford to pay for
fire departments and so must rely on volunteers, he said.
After he was discharged from the West
Battle Creek Fire, on a recent Friday,
Remick responded to a morning house fire
the following Sunday. Those who responded
saved most of the house and lost most of
the garage.
The owner was woken up and pulled out
by one of the firefighters, Remick said. He
was really lucky someone driving by on the
highway saw the fire and called it in.

New NSA revelations stir congressional concern
WASHINGTON (AP) — New revelations
from leaker Edward Snowden that the
National Security Agency has overstepped
its authority thousands of times since
2008 are stirring renewed calls on Capitol
Hill for serious changes to NSA spy programs, undermining White House hopes
that President Barack Obama had quieted
the controversy with his assurances of
oversight.
An internal audit provided by Snowden
to The Washington Post shows the agency
has repeatedly broken privacy rules or
exceeded its legal authority every year
since Congress granted it broad new powers in 2008.
In one of the documents, agency personnel are instructed to remove details and
substitute more generic language in
reports to the Justice Department and the
Office of the Director of National
Intelligence — reports used as the basis
for informing Congress.
Obama has repeatedly said that
Congress was thoroughly briefed on the
programs revealed by Snowden in June,
but some senior lawmakers said they had
been unaware of the NSA audit until they
read the news on Friday.
The programs described
earlier vacuum up vast
amounts of metadata —
such as telephone numbers
called and called from, the
time and duration of calls
— from most Americans’
phone records, and scoop
up global Internet usage
data.

lems — not by seeing the
internal audit but through legally
required reports to her committee.
“In all such cases, the incidents have
been addressed by ending or adapting the
activity,” the California Democrat said in
a statement.” She added, “The committee
has never identified an instance in which
the NSA has intentionally abused its
authority to conduct surveillance for inappropriate purposes.”
But she said that committee would be
asking for additional reports in future,
and members would start making routine
trips to the NSA to oversee its activities.
Her Republican House counterpart,
Intelligence chairman Mike Rogers, said
human error was inevitable and “there
was no intentional and willful violation of
the law.”
But two senators who have consistently
opposed the NSA programs said the new
information was incomplete.
“We believe Americans should know
that this confirmation is just the tip of a
larger iceberg,” said Democratic Sens.
Mark Udall of Colorado and Ron Wyden of
Oregon in a statement.
Both declined to provide details, citing
Senate rules about discussing classified
information.
Proposed legislation to dismantle the
programs was narrowly defeated last
month in the House.
The July legislative effort brought
together Libertarian-leaning conservatives and liberal Democrats who pressed
for change against congressional leaders
and lawmakers focused on security.
House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi,
who generally supports the programs, said
in a statement Friday that the new revelations “are extremely disturbing.”

State probing
former Sublette
Co. investigators
CHEYENNE (AP) — A special prosecutor is leading a criminal inquiry into
how former Sublette County law
enforcement officers handled the investigation of a Montana man who was
convicted of murder but later cleared.
Troy Willoughby, of Wickes, Mont.,
was convicted in 2010 in the 1984
killing of Lisa Ehlers. His conviction
was overturned after Sublette County
Attorney Neal Stelting announced in
2011 that investigators had failed to disclose possibly exculpatory evidence to
Willoughby’s attorneys.
Willoughby was acquitted at his second trial last year. He served three
years in custody before he was
released, and now is pressing a federal
lawsuit seeking unspecified damages
from two former officers of the
Sublette County Sheriff ’s Office and a
former investigator with the County
Attorney’s Office.
Court records show Sheridan County
Attorney Matt Redle is working as a
special prosecutor with the Wyoming
Division of Criminal Investigation to
examine the officers’ conduct. Redle
declined comment Friday on the status
of the investigation.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Kelly Rankin
in Cheyenne has ordered the parties to
meet with him later this month for a
settlement conference.
In 2011, Stelting disclosed that investigators had withheld from
Willoughby’s original defense team a
police report written by officers in the
town of Daniel, about 65 miles southeast of Jackson. According to the
report, Daniel officers had met with
Willoughby shortly after midnight on
June 21, 1984, the day of Ehlers’ death.
Willoughby’s lawyers have argued
that the police report showed he wasn’t
involved in Ehler’s killing.
Willoughby’s pending lawsuit contends that Brian Ketterhagen and
Sarah Brew, former officers of the
Sublette County Sheriff ’s Office, and a
former investigator for the County
Attorney’s Office, Randall Hanson,
failed to turn over the police report for
his first trial.
The lawsuit also states that Deputy
Lance Gehlhausen of the Sublette
County Sheriff ’s Office secretly recorded the other three members of the
investigative team. The lawsuit says
the recording shows they knew they
should have turned over the police
report but didn’t because they didn’t
want Willoughby to go free.
Casper lawyer Ian Sandefer, who represents Willoughby, declined to comment Friday.
Sandefer filed a subpoena a few
months ago seeking records from the
Division of Criminal Investigation
regarding Willoughby’s case. In
response, Redle filed a request to quash
the subpoena, saying he’s been
appointed to act as special prosecutor
and is working with a division agent to
examine the former officers’ conduct.
“The appointment has been made for
the purpose of investigating, and if
determined appropriate, prosecuting
individuals for any criminal offenses
committed in connection with the prosecution of the plaintiff (Willoughby)
herein for the murder of Elizabeth
Miles Ehlers and which resulted in the
plaintiff ’s conviction on or about Jan.
29, 2010,” Redle wrote.
Lawyers for Hanson, Ketterhagen
and Brew all declined to comment
Friday.
Colo. releases insurance exchange rates
DENVER (AP) — Coloradans without
health insurance found out Friday what it
will cost them to comply with the insurance mandate taking effect next year.
The Division of Insurance released rates
Friday of plans that comply with the
health care overhaul.
Eighteen insurance companies will offer
541 separate plans for individuals and
small groups.
For a 40-year-old individual customer,
monthly premiums will range from $177 a
month to $774 a month. The wide range of
rates is because premiums depend on the
level of coverage and where in the state a
person lives. Insurers can charge smokers
up to 15 percent more.
Colorado opens a marketplace Oct. 1 to
help customers shop for insurance. The
health insurance exchange, called Connect
For Health Colorado, has hired “navigators” to explain the health insurance
options at health fairs and community
events, and the exchange has also taken out
TV ads to get the word out about shopping
for insurance.
Colorado has about 716,000 people with-
out insurance. Many of them will be eligible for free health care through Medicaid,
or subsidized health insurance depending
on their incomes. Coloradans who aren’t
eligible for free health care but choose to
skip health insurance altogether will be
fined at least $95 next year, with fines going
up dramatically in subsequent years. For
now, health officials are hoping to lure the
uninsured into the system, talking up new
benefits under the overhaul.
For example, young and healthy customers can now find cheaper premiums for
catastrophic health insurance.
Health officials are trying to soften the
sticker shock by talking up additional benefits those young and healthy consumers
will see under the new health insurance
plans, such as lower out-of-pocket costs and
free preventive care and cancer screenings.
“While it is tempting to compare the
costs for the new plans to current ones, it is
important to remember that these are new
plans with new benefits and new requirements, so it is not an ‘apples to apples’ comparison,” Interim Insurance Commissioner
Doug Dean said in a statement.

I
’m not really a morning person. It
takes a while for me to wake up.
Sometimes I’ll just sit and stare into
space for a while.
I’ll grab a cup of coffee in hopes that
it will jolt me awake. A couple months
ago I was preparing for my day like
normal. I looked out my kitchen window with my usual blank stare while
the coffee brewed. I started watching
CODY
the pigeons hunt for food. I stared at
HAAR
the branches that had fallen since I last
|
cleaned up the yard. And all these
thoughts started to come despite my
slumber.
As I was watching the birds find food on that cold, windy,
rainy morning I began to think about how inefficient the
tree was in so freely giving away the fruit it worked so
hard to produce. It seemed like such a waste for a tree to
grow for years and years only to give it all away. And then
it dawned on me. That's the purpose — God designed the
tree to freely give away its own life.
This particular tree sheds thousands and thousands of
seeds each year. Trust me. I have to clean them up.
Success in this case is not thousands and thousands of
seeds turning into saplings. A successful tree is one that
offers life on a much larger scale. The fruit of the tree sustains the life that takes residence in its branches. The
shade shelters smaller plants from the intensity of the hot
summer sun. Even the dead branches that fall give life

back to the soil underneath. If the tree fails to produce a
single sapling it will have made possible an incredible
amount of life.
Someday this tree will no longer stand. However, the
community would not be the same without it. The tree
does not live or die in futility.
Jesus says it this way in John 12:24-26, "I tell you the
truth, unless a kernel of wheat is planted in the soil and
dies, it remains alone. But its death will produce many
new kernels—a plentiful harvest of new lives. Those who
love their life in this world will lose it. Those who care
nothing for their life in this world will keep it for eternity.
Anyone who wants to be my disciple must follow me,
because my servants must be where I am. And the Father
will honor anyone who serves me."
Even in death there is life. Jesus has this counterintuitive thing going on — he is the author of life and he asks
us to die daily. The purpose of dying daily is not to live forever — even though eternity with Christ for those who
trust in him will be a result.
The purpose of dying daily is to make room for Christ to
live daily in us. If Christ is living in us we might make an
impact on those around us. We might be able to defend the
fatherless. We might be able to befriend the lonely. We
might be able to feed the hungry and clothe the naked. All
of this is so we will know Christ and make him known.
You see, there is no futility in a life given by Christ.

THE SHERIDAN PRESS
FROM THE SHERIDAN PRESS
1988 — A fire destroyed
the building housing Ritz
Sporting Goods, but the
store remained intact in
the hearts and minds of
owner Stan Mavrakis and
his customers.
2012 — Wyoming
Supreme Court Justice
Marilyn S. Kite announced
that Sheridan County
Circuit Court Judge John
Sampson’s retirement will
be effective Jan. 1, 2013,
leaving the seat open for
interested individuals.
FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Today's Highlight in
History:
www.thesheridanpress.com
On August 17, 1943, the
Allied conquest of Sicily
during World War II was
completed as U.S. and
British forces entered
Messina.
On this date:
In 1807, Robert Fulton's
North River Steamboat
began heading up the
Hudson River on its successful round trip between
New York and Albany.
In 1983, lyricist Ira
Gershwin died in Beverly
Hills, Calif., at age 86.
In 1985, more than 1,400
meatpackers walked off
the job at the Geo. A.
Hormel and Co.'s main
plant in Austin, Minn., in a
bitter strike that lasted just
over a year.
In 1998, President
Clinton gave grand jury
testimony via closed-circuit television from the
White House concerning
his relationship with
Monica Lewinsky; he then
delivered a TV address in
which he denied previously committing perjury,
admitted his relationship
with Lewinsky was
"wrong," and criticized
Kenneth Starr's investigation.
Ten years ago: Federal
investigators joined industry teams in the search for
clues into what triggered
the country's worst power
blackout in the Midwest
and Northeast as the Bush
administration promised
to get answers and address
whatever problem was
found.
One year ago: In
Moscow, a judge sentenced
three punk rock-style
activists, members of the
band Pussy Riot, to two
years in prison for hooliganism for briefly taking
SATURDAY, AUGUST 17, 2013
over a cathedral in a raucous prayer for deliverance
from Russian President
Vladimir Putin; the court
decision drew protests
around the world. (One of
the three defendants was
later released on probation.)
Thought for Today:
"There are two ways of
spreading light: to be the
candle, or the mirror that
reflects it." — Edith
Wharton, American author
(1862-1937).

Cowboys’
Nzeocha settles
in at outside
linebacker

Cowboy football: perception versus reality
T
here was a good
blog series this
week about the
perception of college football conferences.
It was refreshing in
that writers asked
coaches the obvious
but lesser-talked about
BRAD
views of the competiESTES
tive state of college
|
football. It's not a hard
quiz to ace. The SEC is
the clear leader and
powerhouse, the Big 12 has spread
offenses, the Big 10 is power football but
slow, and the Pac 12 is finesse.
ACC coaches wanted credit for (the
reality) their top two Clemson and
Florida State holding a respectable
record against SEC schools over the past
few years.
It made me wonder where the
Mountain West Conference falls into that
conversation. The easy answer is that it
doesn't. Those are the big boys, and the
MWC is for all intents and purposes a
mid-major with countless small perceptions and realities. It’s a conference that
has after this off-season emerged from
intensive care, found new life, but likely
not many shiny new crusaders for an
out-of-the-woods suddenly super-competitive cause.
But bear with me. There’s an easy discussion here.
Boise is the (obnoxious) national
Cinderella, and the others sort of mesh
together. Hey, didn't that one guy come
from that MWC school or was it the
WAC, says NFL fan. Colin Kaepernick
went to Nevada? Weird. Is that why he
runs like an ostrich? San Diego State and
UNLV have made noise on the hardwood
lately, but gridiron progress has been left
wanting.
Wyoming’s perception is probably not
far from a reality.
The reality is what may be hard to
hear. The Pokes recent barometer for success lies simply in winning the six games they are supposed to with the ultimate reward
of a low-end bowl game. Wyoming has won eight or more games
just four times since 1990, they won nine that year. There have
been five bowl game appearances during that time. Conversely,
they have won less than three games just three times, under Vic
Koening from 2000-2002. Inaccessible in their mediocrity.
Placing Wyoming into a discussion with these power conferences may not be fair, but that in itself is a realization, as a fan, I
have to come to.
The Laramie solution is harder to see than what some of those
bloggers found to be the current belief of ACC coaches — in so
many words, they say the SEC is great because it's on the national stage EVERY week; a fast, hard-nosed near-NFL game setting.
They’re in front of 85,000 people each time they are on the field.
Learn high pressure, know you're the best and be the best. Seven
straight years of national titles for the SEC.
Harder to do in Laramie, harder to do in any MWC stadium.
There’s obviously a middle ground.
There’s something to be said for the Cowboys holding a constant potential as a better than .500 team. Fans can find pleasure
in the fact that the Cowboys show up at War Memorial every
Saturday in September, enjoying weather more perfect than the
thick humid air of Texas or Alabama football in the South. The
trip to Jonah Field is a unique one in our state. Wear the brown
and gold, amp up Cotton Eyed Joe on the loudspeakers, strap on
the pads and just play some football.
All while winning enough games to hold your hope.
Being aware of your team’s trending downfalls doesn't mean
you're going to stop being a fan. That's not a bad fan base. It's a
better one, tougher, perhaps on edge but more resilient and tested. More focused and smarter than a CSU fan. No matter the
team or sport, there will be things to be desired.
Before Dave Christensen, Wyoming hadn't been to two bowl
games in three years since the late 1980s. The question now is, in
the current college football landscape, can Wyoming, with its isolated recruiting headquarters, be better than its pattern — a
maxed out 7-6 or an unsurprising 4-8 (last year)?
I hope so.
The Pokes head man seems to have, whatever “it” is, that could
catapult the Cowboys recruiting-wise into the Boise anomaly of a
college football national threat. Maybe it’s the Spurrier-esque
visor or the Bowden straw hats. The Saban hair flip?
Wyoming has the new turf to get them started, and I'm betting
it'd win a popularity vote over that blue carpet in Idaho. We have
the quarterback, the offensive blueprint. Now, for the defense.
Kicker: Does Christensen stay long enough to make it all happen? I'd like to think that he does, but who knows. That question
carries less weight after he’s still in Laramie for another year.
But, Chip Kelly had Oregon flying in a happy V of ducks, building himself a likability for his unwavering college homage comparable to Emilio Estevez himself before bolting for a better,
more lucrative bird in the NFL.
Step in the right direction? Beat Nebraska on Aug. 31 in
Lincoln.
Bring perception forcibly closer to a reality.
BRAD ESTES is The Sheridan Press sports editor.
LARAMIE (AP) — Speedy receiver
Jalen Claiborne was running a vertical
route deep downfield, but the pass was
broken up.
It’s not unusual for a cornerback or
safety to make that play. But how about
a 6-foot-3, 235-pound outside linebacker?
University of Wyoming junior Mark
Nzeocha made that play against
Claiborne during a recent fall camp
practice, and the hope is that the
German-born Nzeocha makes plays like
that — and others — once the Cowboys
open their season Aug. 31 at No. 18
Nebraska.
“He is a guy that might be one of the
best athletes on our football team,”
fifth-year UW coach Dave Christensen
said. “He is now starting to look like an
American football player. He has as
much athletic ability as any linebacker
in the country.”
‘He is a guy that might be one of
the best athletes on our football
team.’
Dave Christensen
UW football coach
Nzeocha began his career as an outside linebacker for UW as a true freshman in 2011, and got off to a good start
with 14 tackles in his first five games.
But even though he played American
football in Germany, the college game in
this country was a lot more complicated. As Nzeocha struggled to learn it, his
playing time diminished.
UW moved him to safety last season.
Nzeocha’s production improved with 32
tackles and one forced fumble in 11
games. But he again struggled to learn
a new position and new defensive
scheme under coordinator Chris
Tormey.
Nzeocha moved back to outside linebacker in the spring and quickly began
to feel more comfortable. He was among
the defense’s leading tacklers in three
scrimmages. That carried over to fall
camp as Nzeocha led UW’s starters with
seven tackles in the team’s first scrimmage last Sunday.
“I feel like I found my fit, and I think I
am going to stay there,” he tells the
Wyoming Tribune Eagle.
Nzeocha should help a UW defense
looking to improve from giving up 33.4
points, 232.3 rushing yards and 470.2
total yards per game last season, and
allowing opponents to make 51 percent
of their third-down conversions.
But that doesn’t mean Nzeocha has
completely figured out how to play linebacker.
“It’s been about repetitions of playing
the position,” linebackers coach Robin
Ross said of Nzeocha’s progress. “He is
understanding his role, knowing where
he needs to be, where his eyes need to
go. He is still working on techniques.
You always have to keep working to get
better, but he is making real good
strides.”
Nzeocha, who also plays a lot on special teams, said he still needs to get his
run and pass keys down. He also said, at
this point, he is more comfortable in
pass coverage going back to his time
playing safety.
“Good thing about him is he can take
a wrong step and make up for it because
of his athleticism,” Ross added.
When told what Christensen said
about him possibly being one of the
more athletic linebackers in the country, Nzeocha said: “It pushes me and
boosts my confidence. But we still have
a long way to kickoff at Nebraska. I
need to build off that.”
Ross agreed and described Nzeocha
and the entire defense’s progression as
a marathon, not a sprint.
But at this point, Nzeocha is off to a
fast start.
Nzeocha is one of four players from
Germany on UW’s roster. The others
include Nzeocha’s younger brother,
Eric, a redshirt freshman receiver; senior defensive tackle Justin Bernthaler
and junior linebacker Alex Borgs.
Two players hail from Canada: junior
linebacker Nehemie Kankolongo and
junior walk-on cornerback Jake
Schiffner.
Oscar Nevermann is a true freshman
walk-on running back from Sweden.

It's a tough pill to swallow -apparently. Seventy-five percent of North Americans
don't take their much-needed
meds as directed or skip
them entirely. And almost 15
percent of folks 40-plus with
chronic medical conditions
get a failing grade for mismanagement of important
medication!
This matters -- big time.
One study of people on high
blood pressure medication
found skipping doses boosts
the risk for deadly strokes
two- to five-fold. But only
about half of you take those
meds as prescribed. Another
example: If you've had a
heart attack or other cardio
event and you have recently
stopped taking clot-blocking,
low-dose aspirin (many of
you have), you raise your
odds for a nonfatal heart
attack 60 percent. And it's
estimated that up to half of
folks on statins don't take
them regularly or at all,
denying themselves protection from heart attack and
(new info) some cancers.
But heart-related meds
aren't the only ones that go
untaken. Only 30 percent of
teenagers stick with their
asthma-control regimen, with
potentially lethal consequences. And most startling,
less than 2 percent of adults
with diabetes do regular
blood-glucose monitoring,
take their medications as prescribed and follow recommended dietary guidelines.
That leads to a roster of complications, including cardiovascular disease, neuropathy
(nerve pain or numbness),
blindness, amputation and
kidney disease, not to mention impotence and brain
dysfunction.
Solution No. 1: Slash the
cost. You may not take your
meds because they are too
expensive, but boycotting
them can seriously increase
your long-term health
expenses. Talk to your doc
about taking generics -- the
health-giving benefits are
generally the same as brandname drugs (only a few are
known to not work for some
people), but the price tag is 30
percent to 80 percent lower.
Use the website
Pharmahelper.com to find
trustworthy online drugstores; they can be cheaper.
But stay away from online
cut-rate, out-of-NorthAmerica pill pushers. And if
you have health insurance
with drug coverage, chances
are the company offers mailorder pharmacy services that
are cheaper than if you go to
the corner chain store for
your monthly prescription.
Also, ask your doc if you're
taking the most affordable
drug for your condition. It's a
conversation just 1 in 20 people have! And take advantage
of coupons, rebates and special assistance programs by
checking with NeedyMeds at
www.needymeds.org and
Partnership for Prescription
Assistance at www.pparx.org.
Solution No. 2: Set up a
reminder system. Using a
pillbox with compartments
for each daily dose can also
increase your success 58 percent. Or invest in electronic
caps for your pill bottles.
They light up, play a tune or
send a phone call, text or
email alert when it's time for
your next dose.
Solution No. 3: Talk about
side effects. Ask your doc
about the range of potential
side effects with different
drugs -- you may be able to
switch from one drug to
another until you discover
the one with the least disruptive side effects.
Solution No. 4: Be inspired.
You can't feel the benefits of
many important medications
-- like those for thinning
bones and high cholesterol.
So track your blood pressure
and cholesterol numbers to
get proof the meds are working. You'll be more motivated
to do the right thing.
Solution No. 5: Simplify.
Still feel like your medicine
schedule is too complicated?
Talk with your doctor and
pharmacist about streamlining it so that you can take
medications less often during
the day. (Don't do this on your
own!) Pharmacists are a very
knowledgeable and underutilized resource.
Solution No. 6: Write a doit-yourself Rx. A stellar diet,
regular exercise and weight
loss might let you reduce
your dose or go off your
meds. Start loading your
plate with produce, whole
grains and lean proteins.
Replace fatty meats and
whole dairy with good fats,
such as olive and canola oil
and nuts. Take a 30-minute
walk every day. Get plenty of
sleep, and slash stress. After
a month or two, see your doc
for a follow-up. We bet your
test results will be worth celebrating.

and I really like him.
My problem is he's very
close to his family, who seem
to like me very much, but I
always feel left out around
them. An example: The nine
of us went out to dinner and
the whole time they were
speaking to each other in
their native tongue while I
just sat there. Then, after
dinner, his parents asked
why I was so quiet.
The family speaks English
fluently and are otherwise
nice to me. When I confronted my boyfriend about it, he
said it would be disrespectful
for him to speak to his elders
in English.
I want a future with this
man, but I know it won't
work out if I can't be included in his family. Am I wrong
to think they should involve
me in the conversation? -OUTSIDER IN NEW YORK
DEAR OUTSIDER: In light
of the fact that everyone
knows you don't speak the
language, their behavior does
seem inconsiderate -- particularly if it's happening often.
Perhaps you should speak to
them about it and ask to be
included in the conversation.
An alternative would be to
take a crash course in their
native tongue so you'll have
some idea about what's being
said. (And won't they be surprised when you respond!)
One thing about your letter
does concern me, however,
because it raises a potential
red flag. Does your
boyfriend's unwillingness to
stand up for you foretell a
pattern of always deferring
to his parents? If that's the
case, it could be a source of
frustration and conflict for
you in the future. Please
think about it.
DEAR ABBY: What is proper when opening gift cards
with money enclosed? My
family has made it a habit for
the nieces to open their cards
in front of everyone. I feel it
should be done in private. -UNCOMFORTABLE IN
PENNSYLVANIA
DEAR UNCOMFORTABLE:
Opening the card is fine.
Reading the sentiments
inside is also perfectly
acceptable. But to reveal the
amount of the check or
money enclosed is a no-no.

Hints from Heloise
Packing Pills for a Trip
Dear Heloise: I recently went
on a monthlong trip and needed
some way of taking a MONTH'S
SUPPLY OF PILLS sorted by
daily doses.
In the pharmacy, next to the
weekly pillboxes, I found a
package of 50 small (3 inches by
2 1/2 inches) zipper-top clearplastic pill bags, each having a
place on the outside where the
date could be written with a
pen. I then put the bags holding
the pills into a quart-size zippered bag. -- C.M. Stone in
Houston
Although this sounds like a
good idea, keep in mind a few
points. If you are flying, the
Transportation Security Administration has specific guidelines regarding prescription
medications. The rule states:
"Passengers are allowed to
bring medications in pill or
other solid form through security screening checkpoints in
unlimited amounts, as long as
they are screened. TSA does
not require passengers to have
medications in prescription
bottles, but states have individual laws regarding the labeling
Heloise
of prescription
medication
with
which
passengers
need to
comply.
Passengers
should
inform
officers of medications and separate them from other belongings before screening begins."
So, plan to manage your medications, whatever your mode
of transportation -- plane, train,
boat, bus or vehicle. -- Heloise
PET PAL
Dear Readers: Dave and
Gerdy Wyatt of Huntsville,
Ala., sent in a photo of their
cat, who likes to catch moths.
The Wyatts say, "Our cat will
jump or stretch to the limit to
catch a moth." To see this cute
cat, visit my website at
www.Heloise.com and click on
"Pets." -- Heloise
SAFETY HINT
Dear Heloise: I discovered
how important it is to clean out
your car's ashtrays regularly. I
wasn't aware that embers from
a cigarette had not gone completely out, even though the
ashtray was closed. I had a
small, smoldering car fire,
which I caught early. I remedied the situation by cleaning
out the ashtray and filling it
with baking soda to help extinguish cigarettes. It also helps
freshen the car. -- Kevin J.,
Ventura, Calif.
Baking soda works wonders
as a deodorizer and also to put
out small fires, as you found
out. It is one of my favorite deodorizers and cleaners! I have
compiled a pamphlet filled with
great ways to save money using
baking soda around the house.
To receive a copy, just send $5
and a long, self-addressed,
stamped (66 cents) envelope to:
Heloise/Baking Soda, P.O. Box
795001, San Antonio, TX 782795001. Baking soda is a great deodorizer for carpet, too. Simply
put baking soda on your carpet,
let sit for 15 minutes and then
vacuum up the soda and the
odors. -- Heloise

THE ADRENALINE
RUSH MUST BE CONTROLLED
Kate Adie OBE, an
English journalist who
was known for reporting
from war zones for the
BBC, said, "If I'm in danger, then it's usually my
fault and it's up to me to
get myself out of it. I am
not in it just to get an
adrenaline rush."
At the bridge table,
adrenaline rushes can
make players rush,
when they should be
stopping to look for potential dangers.
In this deal, for example, how should South
plan the play in six
spades after West leads
the heart two? Also, how
would you have bid with
that North hand after
partner opened two notrump?
In this auction, North
transferred into spades,
then bid the contract he
hoped his partner could
make. A modern super-
scientist would
have jumped to
five diamonds
over three
spades, Exclusion Roman
Key Card
Blackwood. It would
have asked South for
key cards excluding the
diamond ace.
Many players would
win the first trick and
immediately play a
trump. However, East
would win with his ace
and return a heart for
his partner to ruff and
defeat the contract.
Slightly unlucky, it is
true. And many Souths
would then ask their
partners why they had
not bid six no-trump,
which is impregnable.
But these declarers
should have paused for
thought when the
dummy came down. Especially given that
South can see every
heart honor, the opening
lead has all the aura of a
singleton. To avoid

BIRTHDAY GAL: Actress
Mika Boorem was born in
Tucson, Ariz., on this date
in 1987. This birthday gal
has appeared in such films
as "Smile," "Sleepover" and
"Hearts in Atlantis."
Boorem also starred in the
TV movies "The Initiation
of Sarah" and "Augusta,
Gone." She's guest-starred
on episodes of "Ghost Whisperer" and "House M.D."
and earlier in her career
played recurring roles on
"Dawson's Creek" and
"Touched by An Angel."
ARIES (March 21-April
19): It's difficult to carry a
cup full of coffee without
spilling anything when it's
filled to the brim. In the
week ahead, remain reasonable and don't overdo it
when you're brimming with
energy.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20): Meet some helpmates.
This week, there will be
plenty of time to share with
a special someone, even if it
means taking work home.
Your social life may revolve
around the job or work.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
Enlarge the scope of your
money-making activities in
the week ahead. You should
take the time to plan ahead
and visualize ways to manifest a secure and harmonious financial future.
CANCER (June 21-July
22): Bet on a sure thing. Review what you're doing
right that brings you peace
and happiness. In the week
to come, you may achieve
an understanding about
how a relationship affects
finances.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):
During the upcoming week,
you could be fooled into
thinking you're right when
you are wrong, or vice
versa. Remain organized
and be a stickler about attending to duties for the
best success.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Relationships can experience a growth spurt in the
week ahead. Treating partners like friends and joining together to plan for the
future can widen the field of
mutual harmony.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
Looking for love in all the
right places might be the
song you sing in the upcoming week. If you're already
in a steady relationship,
everything should go exceedingly well. Attract new
admirers.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.
21): Focus on creating and
improving enduring relationships. This is a great
week to make joint plans or
to execute them without
rocking the boat. Row your
boat gently down the
stream.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Due to your enthusiasm to make major
changes, you may scatter
your energies like confetti.
In the week ahead, don't forget that someone must
sweep up the mess you
leave behind.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): Strike a balance between doing the right thing
and doing everything to
succeed this week. Your
ambitions could be sidetracked by altruism but that
isn't necessarily a bad
thing.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18): Concentrate on achieving clarity in the week to
come. You may run into a
few people who frown on
your dreams or seem controlling. Remain clear about
what's really important.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20): Charm them and disarm them in the week
ahead. Your people skills
are in top form, but in an effort to please all the people
all the time, or to seem like
a trendsetter, you could
overspend.
IF AUGUST 18 IS YOUR
BIRTHDAY: There's no
business like "you" business. Make your financial
security, health and welfare
a top priority in the month
ahead. Peer pressure can
force you to examine your
spiritual, as well as your
physical well-being this fall.
A romantic escapade or vacation could brighten your
life in January, just when
you're at a key point in
achieving your career ambitions. Because you're feeling younger than your
years, you might take a
chance on following a
dream. Crucial decisions
may be forced upon you
next May. This may be the
best time to put key plans
into motion and make longlasting improvements in
your life.
going down, declarer
should take the first
trick in his hand and
discard dummy's remaining hearts on the
diamond ace and king.
Then it is safe to draw
trumps.
Jeraldine Saunders
BIRTHDAY GUY: Actor
Peter Gallagher was born in
New York on this day in
1955. This birthday guy
plays Arthur Campbell on
"Covert Affairs" and has appeared in recurring roles on
"Rescue Me" and "Californication." Gallagher also costarred on "The O.C." from
2003-2007. On the big screen,
Gallagher has had memorable roles in films such as
"American Beauty," "The
Player" and "Sex, Lies, and
Videotape."
ARIES (March 21-April
19): Unless you're a hamster, you won't find going
around in circles very rewarding. While it is comforting to repeat familiar
routines, it won't be productive.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20): You may crave creature
comforts. To reward yourself for working at an optimum level, you're attracted
to comfy shoes, a back rub,
or lunch at a restaurant
rather than the drivethrough.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
Classic style is always in
good taste. You don't need to
be a trend setter when you
find something that can
withstand the test of time.
Immerse yourself in the
arts or beautiful surroundings.
CANCER (June 21-July
22): Stick your neck out.
Come out of your shell and
enjoy the spotlight. Something or someone will help
you break away from rou-
tines and bring some excitement into your usually
quiet life.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):
You may be driven by a desire to succeed in business.
You have a good grasp of
what it will take to make a
business tick or a financial
plan earn a profit. Partners
may fall prey to vague fears.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Sympathy works both ways.
When you spend quality
time with a loved one mutual understanding is enhanced. This could be a
good time to make plans
that will pass the test of
time.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
Consenting adults may consent. Your social life may
revolve around the workplace. You have the ability
to attract others for intimate encounters that transcend the ordinary tonight.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.
21): Focus on long-range
plans and concentrate on
being in harmony with
loved ones. Have faith that
a small misunderstanding
will be cleared up quickly.
Sidestep emotional meltdowns.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): If you let your
imagination run free, you
may stumble on an inspiration that changes your life.
A movie, a book, or time
spent with a family member
can have a powerful impact.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): Keep in mind that just
because someone says
something doesn't make it
so. A bit of healthy skepticism would be wise when financial matters are the
subject of discussion.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18): Live your life for what
tomorrow has to offer, not
fears of what might be
taken away. Pessimism
might block you for a few
hours, so hold tight to a
strong sense of values.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20): Let things unfold as
they will. If you tune in and
follow the path of least resistance everything will
turn out for the best, even if
you don't understand the
reason why initially.
IF AUGUST 19 IS YOUR
BIRTHDAY: Play your
cards right and you'll win
the pot in the month ahead,
especially if you participate
in group activities. Face up
to situations you've been
trying to ignore in mid-September, when your business
skills are not quite up to
par. During October and
November, your personal
appeal is highlighted and
others will view you favorably, so that's the best time
to apply for a new job or
hook up with a person who
lives up to your fantasies.
In late December, those fantasies might fall flat or distract you from what's really
important. Concentrate on
becoming healthy physically, financially and spiritually.
