Worland woman hopes, waits for kidney donor
By Karla Pomeroy
Editor
WORLAND — A Worland woman is seeking a single donation — of a viable kidney from an unknown
donor.
Karen Barr, who has lived in Worland most of her
life, was born with a defective gene, as she described
it. The gene causes polycystic kidney disease (PKD).
“I need a transplant in order to avoid being put on
dialysis,” Barr said.
“They only transplant one kidney at a time. Once
on dialysis it can be hard on a person and it could possibly disqualify me from having a transplant. This is
the reason I am looking to find a donor as quickly as
possible,” she said.
A new kidney would be the perfect gift for the newlywed, who earlier this week wed Tim Surat.
Barr was placed on the active transplant list,
working with the University of Colorado Hospital in
Denver.
She said, “Once active on that list the activation
lasts a year, then a re-evaluation every year is needed
to continue to be on the list. In order to stay active for
a year I have to have my blood drawn once a month
so they can have the most current antibodies to cross
match with potential donors living or non-living.”
Transplant program
Diana LaMay, University of Colorado Hospital’s
kidney transplant coordinator, said kidney transplants are common, with about one transplant completed per week at the University of Colorado facility; however, she added, “It’s not common enough. We

Karen, who has been on the transplant list since January.
have 1,100 on the waiting list for kidneys.”
When a patient is on the active transplant list,
they can receive a kidney donation from a deceased
person or a living person.
She said there are several advantages for a recipient obtaining an organ from a living donor. One, the
kidney statistically will last longer. Two, the recipient
will be able to bypass the wait time, which for certain
blood types is up to six years. Those are two main
advantages,” LaMay said.
She said the wait on the list varies from different
transplant centers. She said the shortest wait times
are for those with blood type A and the longest have
been blood type 0.
For kidney transplants, she said, the healthier
the recipient “the better off you are. Whereas heart,
lung and liver you need to be sick enough to receive
a transplant. With kidneys it’s the opposite; we want
you healthy enough to receive a transplant, because
we have the option of dialysis which is a lifesaving
measure. Whereas the other organ failures do not
have that option.”
Finding a donor
Barr is hoping the odds are in her favor as she
is type A and with just 15 percent function in her
kidneys, she does not know how long she’ll be able to
avoid dialysis.
The kidneys, according to WebMD, “are sophisticated trash collectors. Every day, your kidneys
process about 200 quarts of blood to sift out about
2 quarts of waste products and extra water. The
waste and extra water become urine, which flows to
your bladder through tubes called ureters.”
Nine family members and friends have started
the testing process with six disqualified for different

WORLAND — When the smoke
cleared Thursday evening at the
Washakie County Shooting Complex, Washakie County 4-H marksmen had completed their fourth
consecutive day of youth shooting
sports. The last day of shooting
sports featured a .22 rifle and .22
pistol competition.
The 4-H shooting sports began
on Monday, July 20, with the archery competition.
“Archery is probably one of our
fastest growing disciplines within
Washakie County and the whole
state. We’re always happy to see
all the kids,” said Washakie County 4-H Shooting Sports Chairman
David Doyle.
The archery competition was
comprised of three separate events.
The first event was the archery
bare bow competition. Jackson
Richard placed first in the junior
class and Josiah Hamilton placed
first in the intermediate class.
The second archery competition
was archery sights, which had only
an intermediate class competing.
Talon Anderson placed first in the
competition.
The third portion of the archery
competition was release, which
had a senior, intermediate, and
junior class. Matt Borovatz placed
first in the senior class, with Ashley Schrage coming in first for the
intermediate class, and Hailey Uhrig placing first in the junior class.
On Tuesday, the shooting sports
shifted gears to an air rifle competition at the Washakie County
Fairgrounds and the muzzle loading competition taking place at the
Washakie County Shooting Complex.
The air rifle competition had an
intermediate and junior class. Tyler Schage took home first place in
the intermediate class and Brooke
Wright placed first in the junior
division.
The muzzle loading competition had a senior, intermediate,
and junior class. Matt Borovatz
earned his second first place finish,
winning the senior class. Josiah
Hamilton also took home his second first place medal, winning the
intermediate class. Jacob Gartell
came in first for the junior class.
On Wednesday, the competition
took place at the shooting complex,
featuring a shotgun competition.
There were two classes consisting of an intermediate and senior
class.
Matt Borovatz took home first
for the senior class, and Ashley
Schage placed first in the intermediate class. Both Borovatz and
Ashley Schage earned their third
first place finish in three days.
On Thursday the competition
stayed at the shooting complex
with a junior and intermediate
class, respectively.
Colt Rishel took home first
place in the intermediate class and
Garrett Piel finished in first place
for the junior class.
“It’s a great program for the
kids to learn shooting skills and
safety skills. We had good participation and the nice thing about the
shooting sports program is that it
is volunteer run. We rely on those
volunteers and we appreciate everything they do,” 4-H educator
Amber Armajo said.

reasons.
She’s been told with her blood type she has
a one in 10 chance of finding a donor, but she
said she also has unique antibodies that make
it tough to find a match.
Four years ago, before Karen was officially
on the transplant list, Surat was initially tested
and at that time was the closest match. After
she was on the list, he was tested again and was
disqualified for medical reasons.
According to the University of Colorado
Hospital website, “The operation performed to
remove the healthy kidney from the donor is
called a nephrectomy. This is a major surgery,
and there are some risks involved. The majority
of these surgeries are done using a laparoscopic
or minimally invasive approach. As a result, the
recovery time for the donor is faster than with
traditional surgery. In a living kidney donor
surgery, the donor and the recipient are placed
in side-by-side operating rooms. The donated
kidney is removed and then immediately placed
in the recipient in the next operating room. The
donor’s remaining kidney is sufficient to maintain the donor’s normal body functions.”
Polycystic kidney disease
While Karen was born with the gene that
caused polycystic kidney disease, she didn’t
become aware of the disease until 2008 when
x-rays were taken of her lungs during a bout
with pneumonia. The x-rays captured part of
her kidneys, revealing the cysts.
According to mayoclinic.org, “Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is an inherited disorder in
which clusters of cysts develop primarily within your kidneys. Cysts are noncancerous round
sacs containing water-like fluid. The cysts vary
in size and, as they accumulate more fluid, they
can grow very large.” The most common effects
of PKD are kidney failure and high blood pressure.
Karen said her biggest symptom of the decrease in kidney function is fatigue. She has

to watch her diet, avoiding sodium, potassium,
phosphorous (found in many drinks) and proteins.
Surat said until Karen was on the list and
he went to the transplant center with her, visiting with the nutritionist, he hadn’t paid much
attention to labels. Now, he watches what he’s
buying, keeping in mind her dietary restrictions.
Along with fatigue, Karen said she is more
susceptible to kidney infections.
“That’s the hard part. When you look at Karen, she doesn’t look sick,” Surat said.
To be a donor
LaMay said the problem with the long waiting list is a lack of available kidneys. For living
donors, she said two main concerns are the loss
of work time and future health.
She said cost is also a concern but the recipient, usually through insurance, handles all the
costs for the donor.
Karen said insurance has covered costs but
her church, Grace Lutheran with Pastor Tim
Trippel, held a fundraiser in December 2014,
and she has accepted private donations to help
with out-of-pocket medical expenses associated
to the disease. Donations can be made through
youcaring.com/karenskidneytransplant.
She and Tim said they appreciate all the
support they have received since getting on the
list earlier this year.
Anyone interested in donating or finding out
more information can contact the University of
Colorado Hospital at 720-848-0855, or visit the
website at https://www.uchealth.org/livingkidneydonation.
Donor perspective
A friend of one of Karen’s daughters, Abbie Heinig of Laramie, donated a kidney seven
years ago for her father.
“He didn’t want me to do it,” she said, noting
that her father had had a transplant 10 years
prior and were failing again. She was 17 at the
time and her father didn’t want her missing
school so she completed the testing “behind his
back.”
She said the tests were not too invasive, but
she didn’t like the 24-hour urine analysis.
Also included for donors is a psychological
evaluation, she said.
Heinig said she was in the hospital about five
days and her recovery was about two weeks.
Heinig has had no complications since her
surgery. She said she limits her salt intake and
watches how much protein she eats. “I try not to
do anything that will tax my kidney,” she said.
She encourages anyone considering donating
a kidney or any organ to “do your research. I’m
a pro donor advocate.” Her father’s transplant
was conducted at the University of Colorado
Hospital and she said the staff were “amazing
and very helpful.”
Was it worth it? “Seeing my dad that next
day … it was way worth it,” Heinig said, noting
that the day after the surgery she saw an immediate improvement in her father.
“I hope that she can find someone,” Heinig
said of Karen. “It will change not only Karen’s
life but the person who donates.”
BHC Fair
This year’s fair also features the unveiling of the new indoor multipurpose facility.
Fair Manager Vangi Hackney said, “We’re excited to showcase the
new facility with all the livestock shows and the horse halter show.”
She said new this year, in addition to the facility, is a buyer’s dinner,
sponsored by Charlie and Linda Weeks. The dinner will be prior to the
livestock sale Friday night.
There are three paid grandstand events pig wrestling Thursday at
7 p.m., the rodeo Saturday at 7 p.m. and the demolition derby Sunday,
Aug. 2, at 2 p.m.

Wyoming
lottery predicts
$200,000 profit
in first full year
CASPER (AP) — WyoLotto officials expect to end up with about
$201,000 in net income at the end
of the lottery’s first full year.
Some $16 million in prize payouts will eat up the bulk of the $27
million in sales. Commissions to
vendors will cost another $1.6 million.
Lottery officials also plan $2
million in marketing, $90,000 in
legal fees and $1 million in personnel salaries and benefits. Also, the
Wyoming Lottery expects to pay
back $1.2 million in loans to cover
the cost of launching the lottery
last year.
The revenues, minus costs and
expenses, should leave $200,957 in
net income when the current fiscal
year ends June 30, 2016, according
to projections.
One state lawmaker questioned
whether the lottery, even after
loans are paid back, is worthwhile,
the Casper Star-Tribune reported.
“This isn’t going to mean a lot of
money for the state of Wyoming,”
said Sen. Cale Case, R-Lander. “It
seems like a lot of trouble for what
we get out of it.”
The lottery is unlikely to grow
enough to substantially increase
profits, said Case, who is an economist.
Lottery board Chairman Mark
Macy said he was proud of the lottery’s initial growth. Profits and
growth will increase over time, he
said.
“Our budget does reflect startup costs that we will not have in
later budgets,” he said in an email
sent by lottery Chief Operations
Officer Louise Plata. “We are a
new entity, which already turns a
net profit. Our net profits will increase.”
Part of Midwest
gas line to flow
other direction
CASPER (AP) — Part of a $4
billion natural gas pipeline completed six years ago to export gas
from the Rocky Mountain region
to the Midwest is about to move
gas in the opposite direction.
The reason: Surging gas production in eastern states has provided
a new source of gas for Chicago
and other Midwestern markets.
On Aug. 1, Rockies Express
Pipeline operator Tallgrass Energy plans to open the valve on
a massive expansion to accommodate gas extracted from the
Marcellus Shale underlying Ohio,
Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
The gas will flow not west to east
but east to west, toward Chicago.
The development will weigh on
Wyoming’s gas industry over the
next several years. Gas sales from
the Rockies to the Midwest are
projected to fall while sales from
the Northeast to the Midwest are
projected to rise, the Casper StarTribune reports.
“It is a dramatic change and
not good for Wyoming producers,
certainly,” said Mark Doelger, who
advocated construction of Rockies Express during seven years as
executive director of the Wyoming
Pipeline Authority.
A decade ago, not enough pipeline capacity existed to export natural gas produced in Wyoming to
markets where it could have been
sold. The result was Wyoming gas
consistently carried a much lower
price than gas drilled elsewhere in
the U.S.
Rockies Express sought to erase
the difference — and succeeded.
Gas from western Wyoming now
carries about the same price as
gas drilled elsewhere.
Construction of other pipelines
should help Wyoming’s gas industry continue to compete. They
include the Kern River and Ruby
pipelines from western Wyoming
to Las Vegas and northern California, respectively.
Now, about 40 percent of the
gas produced in Wyoming is bound
for the Midwest and 60 percent to
markets farther west, said Brian
Jefferies, current director of the
Wyoming Pipeline Authority.
Two years ago, those percentages were reversed, he said.
Wyoming coal
mine prepares
to move huge
equipment
GILLETTE (AP) — Cloud Peak
Energy is preparing to move a
huge piece of excavating equipment 43 miles from one Wyoming
mine to another in pursuit of deeper coal.
The machinery, called a dragline, consists of a shovel suspended by cables from a mobile crane.
Correction
In the Chamber Bucks Recipients photo published Friday,
Chris Wray was incorrectly identified.
He was one of four earning $10
in chamber bucks from the 5K
Glow Fun as part of the American Cancer Society Relay For Life
event July 17.
The event grossed more than
$23,000.
Draglines in Powder River Basin
coal mines are among the world’s
biggest machines, handling up to
100 cubic yards of earth at a time.
Their job is to excavate the dirt
and rock overlying the coal at the
open-pit mines.
Gillette-based Cloud Peak Energy has disassembled the dragline at its Cordero Rojo mine about
25 miles south of Gillette. The
company plans to move the dragline to its Antelope mine about 60
miles south of Gillette.
The dragline has been at Cordero Rojo since 1993, the Gillette
News-Record reports.
Cloud Peak is moving the dragline to Antelope to address a problem faced at every mine in the
basin, where the underlying coal
deposits are tilted.
Miners typically exploit the
shallower coal first. Over time,
they must dig deeper and deeper
through the overlying dirt and
rock to get to the coal.
The dragline move will help
Cloud Peak dig deeper and maintain Antelope’s historic production levels of a little more than
30 million tons per year, company
spokesman Rick Curtsinger said.
“It allows us to maintain production as the strip ratio goes up,
as it does across the basin,” Curtsinger said.
The ratio of overburden to coal
also has been increasing at Cordero Rojo. There, however, Cloud
Peak is cutting production by
about 10 million tons per year
starting this year.
The last time a company disassembled a dragline at one Powder
River Basin mine and reassembled
it at another was in the mid-1990s,

Prayers at
Alaska meetings
continue
KETCHIKAN, Alaska (AP) —
Pastors have continued to hold
prayer at Ketchikan Gateway Borough Assembly meetings despite
lacking official sanction to do so.
Members of the Ketchikan Ministerial Association have been holding unofficial prayers at the start of
each bimonthly meeting during citizen comments. Prayer has continued even after the Assembly rejected a proposal to begin its meetings
with an official prayer nine months
ago, reported The Ketchikan Daily
News.
One of the pastors behind the
prayer, the Rev. Bill White, said
Wednesday that the original proposal felt as if “some were asking
for permission to pray.”
“When it was voted down. I realized that we don’t need permission
to pray — not in America,” White
said. “We shouldn’t be ‘allowed’ to
pray; it should be something we do.”
Assembly member Mike Painter
opposed an official prayer in 2014,
but said he supports prayers being
offered during public comment.
“For the most part, it doesn’t
bother me,” he said. “It bothers
some people, (but) I don’t think
there’s a lot of controversy over it.”
The debate over prayer at the
meetings began when former Assembly member, Agnes Moran,
and Glen Thompson proposed the
prayer in October, citing a favorable U.S. Supreme Court decision
and other governments in Alaska
that open meetings with a prayer.

Important religious buildings, such as
synagogues, mosques, temples or cathedrals, derive their significance from their
members’ activities in the building. Believers may gather there for worship; they may
make personal pilgrimages to it; they may
believe that their god dwells there. In other
words, the building’s fame and attraction
comes from its role as a place of religious
activity for its religion’s adherents.
So, what about tourists, people who travel away from their homes to visit important
places? Tourists who visit religious sites, as
opposed to pilgrims, do not come to worship
and rarely belong to the religion associated
with the site. They come to a cathedral or a
temple because it is famous. They wish to
see it and learn more about it; they rarely
want to participate in the religious activities held there.
So, how does a place of religious importance treat tourists?
Some religious places allow in no one
not belonging to the religion. That was true
with the ancient Jewish Temple in Jerusalem, and it remains true for the Muslim
holy city of Mecca.
Other places give the tourists a tour. The
character of that tour reveals what the religion, or at least the religious officials who
run the site, think is important for visitors
to learn.
Take Westminster Abbey
in London, for instance, the
church linked to the British Houses of Parliament.
Thousands of people visit it
every day. Its tour is a welloiled business that describes
the building’s history and its
place in British history. Highly trained guides lead groups
around the entire, large building.
The guides are experts in the church’s
history and in its relationship to the government and the monarchs. They know the
significance of every tomb, memorial and
monument, and can provide key information about everyone buried in the church,
from king or queen to poet, playwright or
scientist. They can explain the purposes of
every side chapel and cloister.
Buildings as old as Westminster require ongoing upkeep, and the wear and
tear of the many daily visitors just adds
to the building’s deterioration. To pay for
the building’s maintenance, the church has
numerous money-raising ventures, from
entrance fees to the bookshop and the gift
shop, to say nothing of the café. In this, the
Abbey is just like the many palaces, castles,
manor houses and other historical buildings throughout Britain.
Between the historical presentation and the fundraising,
Westminster’s ongoing role as
a place of worship is nearly
invisible. Tourists often fail
to realize that three to seven
worship services take place
daily, including at least one
celebration of the Eucharist.
The Temple of the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints in Salt Lake City provides a completely different presentation.
Tourists can keep their wallets in their
pockets because there is nothing to buy:
no food, no souvenirs, no books and no entrance fees.
The tour guides are quite different. Instead of trained, older professionals, the
guides for Temple Square are college-age
missionaries. They know the Square, from
the Temple itself to the Tabernacle and other buildings, but are not extensively versed
in its history. Indeed, being able to give detailed historical information is not their job,
and they sometimes simply tell questioners
they cannot answer a question. The tourists’ curiosity about the past may be better
satisfied by the short videos viewed on the
tour.
The tour guides at Temple Square make
up in faith and friendliness what they lack
in historical knowledge. Their task is to
provide an understanding of the Mormon
religion, the place of the Temple in that
religion and, perhaps most importantly, to
give a sense of the vital immediacy of their
beliefs in their own daily lives. There is no
“hard sell,” but the tour guides mention
their faith when relevant, and the tour itself ends comfortably in a contemplative
room before a large statue of Jesus Christ,
with the two guides each giving a minute or
so of “witness” about their religion.
The treatment of tourists at these two
religious sites could not be more different.
At Westminster Abbey, the guide delivers
a historical message of English/British
continuity and importance, religious and
otherwise, to which the visitors will always
remain outsiders. At the Mormon Temple,
by contrast, the guides deliver a personal
message, one that links the founding of Salt
Lake and its Temple to the guides themselves and, through them, the offer is made
to the visiting outsiders that they can become insiders, too.

My husband also had a robust

bargain until he died.
I did this because I understood

him and he loved me, and he was
a considerate sex partner who was
always faithful. I came to understand that sex for him was a security blanket. I am glad I made the
effort, because I would not want to

is gone. P.S. The night before he
died, his last words to me were, “I
love you and I want to have more

Fair time, fair fun
It’s fair time again and that’s great
for me because I love county fairs.
Fairs, for the most part, are just
about going and having fun and supporting our local youth, whether it’s going and watching them show their animals or other projects they have been
working on throughout the year, or supporting them monetarily in purchasing
an animal at the Junior Livestock Sale.
Truthfully, however, I didn’t attend
the Hot Springs County Fair much
growing up. I remember our family going a few times to look at exhibits and
attend a concert or two.
Karla Pomeroy
I really got involved in county fairs
with my first journalism job in Lovell,
covering the Big Horn County Fair. And, when I lived in Lovell, I ventured
down a few times to attend the Washakie County Fair for concerts including John Michael Montgomery one year. Perhaps I remember that year
more because we were almost late since my car broke down on the way.
But for the most part, my fair experiences have been filled with happy memories, like front row seats for Sawyer Brown in Big Horn County,
lunch with friends on the midway, sampling my first funnel cake — not my
favorite fair food, meeting new folks, watching animals get away, watching
the joy of peewee showmen as they try so hard and watching the joy of our
youth winning grand championship honors.
I’m excited to see the variety here in Washakie County and I’m looking
forward to checking out the Washakie County Fair this year and making
more memories.
There’s already been a flurry of activity for this year’s Washakie County
Fair with four days of shooting sports, and for the first time, the fabric and
fashion judging and style revue was held prior to the official start of fair
week (July 28-Aug. 1).
Today (Saturday) is the Junior Horse Show in the arenas, along with
the horseshoe contest.
My favorite is the dog show on Monday. I’d be a horrible judge for a dog
show as I’m not sure I could be impartial, and everyone would be a winner.
Also Monday is another favorite of mine, pig wrestling, an ever popular
event in Big Horn County and I’m sure it is here in Washakie County as
well.
This year’s fair has plenty of live music entertainment with Chancey Williams & Younger Brothers performing Tuesday, Shark Twain on
Wednesday and Rattlesnake Ridge on Thursday.
The Washakie County Fair features the traditional rodeo on Thursday
night and the ranch rodeo on Saturday.
There’s plenty to see and do at this year’s fair so come out and revisit
the fair, especially if you haven’t been in a few years.
The county fair is a great time for visiting with friends and family, being
entertained, enjoying some good food; and, of course, making memories.
Hope to see you there.

Is social liberalism winning?
The end of the Supreme Court term was depressing
for conservatives. The double-whammy of a 50-state mandate for gay marriage and the upholding of Obamacare
sounded the alarms for religious freedom. All that unease
is measurable.
Credit The Washington Post for doing precisely that.
The polling team has just reported, “Liberals have won a
string of victories on gay marriage and health care reform
this year, but a new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds
a large majority of Americans are unhappy with where
the nation is headed on social issues.”
They found 63 percent of respondents are uncomfortable with the country’s overall direction on social issues
L. Brent
these days; 41 percent feel “strongly” uncomfortable about
the nation’s changes.
The spin coming from the media suggesting there is a national celebration underway is simply false. Indeed, the findings aren’t encouraging for Democrats: 51 percent of racial minorities are uncomfortable
with the current tide on social issues, along with two-thirds of women
and even 50 percent of adults under age 30. That doesn’t sound like the
conventional wisdom about the “right side of history” crushing everything in its path.
The left counts on unelected forces to press its agenda. Hollywood’s
assembly line of products push the LGBT agenda with so much fervor
that polls show Americans think about a quarter of the population is gay,
10 times higher than reality. Judges with their fingers in the wind feel
“change” is in the air, and bow to media elite pressure.
But the debate isn’t over. On the hot-button issues individually, the
nation is divided. “History” is incomplete. It’s as fluid as the liberals
are on gender. It’s true that gays have made significant gains in recent
years -- but how significant? On the Supreme Court mandate for gay
marriage, 52 percent expressed support and 44 percent were opposed
(51 to 45 among registered voters). The public divides more closely on
the Supreme Court ruling for Obamacare (45 percent for,
42 percent against).
Nevertheless, media coverage of these issues lines up
dramatically for making and solidifying “change” and lectures that the Republican Party would be suicidal to take
a stand against the tsunami of social liberalism. It dovetails perfectly with President Obama’s spin. Both willfully ignore polls that suggest otherwise.
A new AP-GfK poll also found less of a social revolution in the polls. Their survey found support for gay marriage in America slipped to 42 percent, with 40 percent
opposing. Only 39 percent backed the Supreme Court
decision, 41 percent were opposed, and 18 percent didn’t
Bozell III take a position. When gay rights was placed alongside religious liberty, 39 percent said it’s more important for the
government to protect gay rights, while 56 percent said protection of
religious liberties should take precedence. Support for religious vendors
being able to refuse to serve gay marriages climbed seven points to 59
percent.
Unease with the state of social issues in the country surely means
other issues as well, including illegal immigration, legalizing marijuana
in several states, racial rioting, and the rhetorical war on police officers
coming from the left.
No one should believe liberals when they imply that social conservatives are finished. As a liberal hero once proclaimed on a convention
stage, “the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the
dream shall never die.”

in Brief
Dodgers put Greinke
on paternity list, next
start isn’t set
NEW YORK (AP) — The Los
Angeles Dodgers have put AllStar pitcher Zack Greinke on the
paternity list while he’s with his
wife for the birth of their first
child.
Greinke has a streak of 43 2-3
scoreless innings, and it hasn’t
been determined when his next
start will come.
The NL West leaders made the
move before Friday night’s game
against the Mets in New York.
Greinke was originally scheduled
to start the game before returning to Los Angeles on Thursday
to be with wife Emily.
Greinke can remain on the paternity list for up to three days. In
the meantime, the Dodgers called
up right-hander Josh Ravin from
Triple-A Oklahoma City.
After Greinke left on Thursday, manager Don Mattingly said
there was a chance the ace could
pitch later this weekend against
the Mets.
Bucs’ C.J. Wilson
placed on reserve
retired list
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Tampa
Bay Buccaneers cornerback C.J.
Wilson has been placed on the reserve/retired list while he recovers from losing two fingers on his
right hand in a July 4 fireworks
accident.
The third-year pro out of
North Carolina State is one of
two NFL players, along with defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul of
the New York Giants, who suffered hand injuries in accidents
involving fireworks during the
holiday weekend.
Wilson entered the league as
an undrafted free agent with
Chicago in 2013.
He spent most of last season
on Tampa Bay’s practice squad,
finishing with four tackles while
appearing in two games on the
active roster.
Wilson’s agent said when the
25-year-old is “fully healed” he
hopes to resume his NFL career.
By being placed on the reserve/
retired list, Wilson will not count
against the Bucs’ 90-man roster
limit when training camp opens.
NFL teams sending

holders
NEW YORK (AP) — It’s midsummer, yet NFL teams are
reaching out to their season ticket holders about the playoffs.
The league has required all
32 clubs to notify their fan bases
before the regular season begins
that they can reserve tickets for
any postseason game the team
might host in that season.
The resolution was passed in
March at the owners’ meetings.
Fans will have the option to be
included on the list for purchasing postseason tickets or to opt
out.
Essentially, each team can
build a waiting list for playoff
tickets, which then will be processed once a team clinches a
berth and/or a home game.
Some cities in recent years
have had difficulty selling out a

the wild-card round.
Usain Bolt wins 100
meters in Diamond
League
LONDON (AP) — Usain Bolt
returned to form by winning
the 100 meters in the Diamond
League at London’s Olympic Stadium in 9.87 seconds on Friday.
After a poor start, Bolt struggled to break away from the pack
but edged Britain’s CJ Ujah over
the last 10 meters.
The Jamaican equaled his season’s best of 9.87, which Bolt had
recorded earlier Friday in qualifying.
Bolt has struggled this season
with a left leg injury and his fastest 100 time of the season before
arriving in London was 10.12.
Brennon Eldred earns paycheck in rst go-round win
By Dave Shelles
WyoSports
CHEYENNE – Like a quarterback taking a
hit after throwing a touchdown pass, Brennon
Eldred paid for a big ride.
The Sulphur, Oklahoma, cowboy rode Maximum Justice Black to an 86-point score during
Friday’s performance at the Cheyenne Frontier
Days Rodeo. As Eldred dismounted, the bull gave
him quite a bit more than a nudge on his way to
the arena floor.
Eldred, though, took it in stride, enjoying the
first go-round win and the check for $5,815.71.
“He was heavy the whole time,” said Eldred,
the No. 2-ranked rider in the world among Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association rankings.
“He really brought me down at the end.
“He really made me work for it, just like the
one Tuesday. Everybody wants to ride (a United
Pro Rodeo) bull and I was lucky to draw him.”
Earlier this week he scored a 92.5 during the
shootout round of the Championship Bull Riding
World Championship at Frontier Park.
He won the average in that event, so he has
drawn some good energy from the venerable
rodeo arena. He said anybody in the business
wants to come to Cheyenne and do damage, and
he will have another chance today with his second round. After that, he will have a couple of
days to heal before resuming the grind of both
CBR and PRCA events.
Eldred has ridden the past few competitions
with a groin injury and said he looks forward to a
small break – after this weekend, of course.
“For this point of the year, I’m not doing too
bad,” he said. “Just the usual bumps and bruises.
That’s just part of rodeo.”
Cash will heal any wound.
A perfectly healthy Taylor Langdon will probably come away with some too.
The barrel racer from Aubrey, Texas, took the
second-go lead with a time of 17.41 seconds, besting aggregate leader Lisa Lockhart’s 17.48.
One more section of barrel racers will come
today.
Langdon and her horse, JB Famous, have had
a rough couple of weeks – they hadn’t placed in
the money since a rodeo in Red Lodge, Montana,
just before July 4 – so the cowgirl figured they
were due for a winner.
“Last year we had a good run in the second go
here,” she said. “He just loves this arena and to
perform here.”
Langdon made a tough decision to turn out
at Spanish Fork Fiesta Days in Utah to save
the wear and tear on herself and her horse. She
would have driven all night after her first goround in Utah to make it to Cheyenne.
Now Langdon and JB will hang out in Cheyenne until Sunday’s finals. She sits second in the
aggregate at 35.35 seconds.
“I was really nervous about it, but it turned
out to be the right decision,” she said. “I’m super
excited. This is a great place to do good.”
Like Langdon, rookie saddle bronc rider Audy
Reed turned around a subpar couple of weeks
with a big performance on Friday.
The Spearman, Texas, cowboy won the first
go-round with an 80-point ride, drawing on
knowledge gained from hanging out in Cheyenne
with fellow bronc riders Blaze and Brody Cress.
Reed said he benefited from the uncertainty of
the rookie saddle bronc competition. Like the riders, the broncs are untested and unridden.
“That was just a nice horse,” Reed said. “He
was bucking out at the start, but you never know
what you’ll get. “You just have to go for it every
time out.”
Blaze Cress, a graduate of Cheyenne’s East
High, scored a 74 on his mount to finish third
in the first go-round of rookie saddle broncs, the
highlight of the day among local hands.
He said the performance at his hometown rodeo – with his father, Tommy, manning the barriers on the floor – meant even more.
“I’ve been having hell lately, so it’s nice to
have a ride like this,” he said. “I’ve been winning
some money here and there, but not for a couple
of weeks. I’ve won about $3,000 on the Canadian
circuit.”

Disappointed US faces Panama in Gold Cup 3rd-place game
CHESTER, Pa. (AP) — Asked
what winning the third-place
game at the CONCACAF Gold
Cup would mean, U.S. captain
Michael Bradley paused for a moment, then said softly, “Not much.”
The midfielder quickly added
that pride and competitiveness
would keep the Americans playing hard against a short-handed
Panama squad, a promise repeated often by his teammates and
coach Jurgen Klinsmann on Friday. Once the U.S. was stunned by
Jamaica in the semifinals, cutting
short its bid to repeat as Gold Cup
champion, Saturday’s third-place
match was left to build momentum
and try out different lineups.
In many ways, those are always objectives for Klinsmann as
he seeks to develop a squad that
can contend against the world’s
best. For a coach in his position,
the trick is to win enough in the
short term to stick around to possibly see through those long-term
results.
“We want to continue the process toward 2018,” he said of the
next World Cup. “This is Year 1 after the World Cup in Brazil, a year
of rebuilding the pieces and bringing in young, new players, trying a
lot of things out.”
Klinsmann specifically defended two young players, center
backs John Brooks and Ventura
Alvarado. The 22-year-olds have
been shaky at times in the Gold
Cup, and they were unable to prevent Jamaica’s Darren Mattocks
from heading in the first goal of
Wednesday’s 2-1 loss on a throwin.
“They have to go through these
pains,” Klinsmann said, adding,
“We’re going to do a step back here
and there.”
He noted Brooks and Alvarado
had made for a winning pairing
in their brief tenure together before the semifinal defeat, including
breakthrough victories in June exhibitions against world champion
Germany and the Netherlands,
another European power.
“Enormous, enormous talent” is
how he described the two.
“We’re going to keep on developing young players, keep looking
into the future,” Klinsmann said.
“Two, three years down the road
— what does this team look like?
... You have to keep developing a
team that you have in mind toward 2018 that’s hopefully better
than you did in Brazil.”
Panama will be without up to
five players because of suspension
or injury. Midfielders Valentin Pimentel and Gabriel Gomez and
forward Blas Perez are hurt, and
forward Luis Tejada is out because
of a red card.
Coach Hernan Gomez said
goalkeeper Jaime Penedo was also
suspended, though CONCACAF
had yet to make any announcements of punishments stemming
from the chaotic scene of Wednesday’s semifinal.
On the verge of beating Mexico,
Panama, playing with 10 men,
was called for a disputed hand
ball. Mexico tied the game on the
penalty kick and went on to win
2-1 after another penalty in extra
time.
In the Panamanians’ latest
criticism of CONCACAF, the federation’s president, Pedro Chaluja,
told Panama media Friday that
“we feel that that game was fixed.”
“There are third parties with interests, and we know that it can’t
be possible that the best-ranked
referee in CONCACAF has such a
poor and suspicious performance
in a game,” he said.
Gomez said Chaluja’s reaction
was “human nature” but wouldn’t
add to the criticism, saying “rules
are rules.” He initially said that
six players were at risk of missing World Cup qualifiers because
of yellow card accumulation, but
CONCACAF officials said yellow
cards in the Gold Cup wouldn’t affect qualifying.
Panama played some kickball
Broncos DE Derek Wolfe suspended
rst 4 games of 2015 season
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — His scary spinal injury behind him along with the ill-fitting 4-3 defense,
Derek Wolfe couldn’t wait for the 2015 season to get
here.
He won’t be on the field now when it does.
The NFL informed the Denver Broncos on Friday
that Wolfe would be suspended for the first month of
the season for violating the league’s policy on performance enhancing substances.
In a statement, the fourth-year pro offered his
“most sincere apology” to the organization, his teammates and fans and insisted he took medicine this
offseason that he didn’t realize was banned.
“The medication is not a substance which would
enhance my on field performance in any way and I
genuinely was unaware that it was prohibited, but
players are responsible for what is in their bodies,”
Wolfe said in a statement. “I will certainly exercise
far greater caution in the future and will seek advice
relating to the permissibility of any and all medications.”
Losing one of their starting defensive ends is a
big blow to a defense that’s already dealing with big
question marks at middle linebacker — the fulcrum
of Wade Phillips’ 3-4 scheme — as Danny Trevathan
(knee) and Brandon Marshall (foot) are returning
from surgeries.
During Wolfe’s absence, the Broncos will rely more
heavily upon veterans Malik Jackson and newcomer
Vance Walker, who played for the Chiefs last season.
Wolfe’s suspension also could benefit second-year pro
Kenny Anunike.
Wolfe can practice during training camp and play
in the preseason before his Sept. 5-Oct. 5 banishment.
He’ll miss games against some elite running backs,
including Baltimore’s Justin Forsett, Kansas City’s
Jamaal Charles and Minnesota’s Adrian Peterson.
That puts added pressure on safety T.J. Ward and
outside linebackers Von Miller, DeMarcus Ware and
first-round pick Shane Ray to stop the run.
Wolfe played in every game last year, contributing
to a Denver defensive line that allowed 79.8 rushing
yards per game, the lowest single-season figure in
team history.
He said this spring, however, that he was just a
shell of himself in 2014 after missing a good chunk of
the previous season, which was marked by a seizure
on the team bus. Doctors believe that was related to a
bruised spinal cord he suffered that preseason.
Wolfe hasn’t played a true 3-4 — with three down
linemen and four linebackers — since his days at the
University of Cincinnati. He said this offseason he
was actually surprised the Broncos drafted him in
2012. After all, the old coaching staff preferred playing four down linemen and three linebackers most of
the time.
Wolfe said the 3-4 suits him because “I’m not really
a speed rusher, I’m not really a big 330-pound defensive tackle, either. I’m kind of a ‘tweener and that’s
really what you need at the 3-4.”
Wolfe is back up to 285 pounds after regaining all
of the 30 pounds he lost in 2013.
during Friday’s practice, seeking
to add a lighthearted note to a trying week.
Klinsmann plans to shake up
his lineup against Panama, but
didn’t offer any specifics other
than to say DaMarcus Beasley
would play in the second half. The
33-year-old defender had retired
from international soccer only to
agree to make himself available
for the Gold Cup.
Klinsmann added him for the
knockout rounds, but Beasley
strained a calf in his first practice
and has yet to play.
Klinsmann spoke to the squad
before Friday’s workout about
Beasley’s contributions, and fellow players gave the defender a
lengthy ovation. The coach hopes
to send Beasley off with a strong
performance and a victory, but
then again the veteran of a U.S.record four World Cups isn’t ruling
out another return to the national
team.
The Americans can still qualify
for the 2017 Confederations Cup
even though they won’t win this
tournament. As the 2013 Gold
Cup champs, the U.S. will face the
winner of Sunday’s title match
between Mexico and Jamaica in
a playoff Oct. 9 for CONCACAF’s
spot in the most important warmup for the next World Cup.
The United States beat Panama in the 2013 Gold Cup final, one
of several stinging losses delivered
by the Americans.
In qualifying for the 2014 World
Cup, the U.S. scored twice in second-half stoppage time to cost the
Panamanians a chance to make it
to Brazil.
The teams tied 1-1 in the group
stage earlier in this tournament, a
game with far more on the line for
Panama than the Americans.
Ohio State’s Miller moving from QB to receiver
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) —
Braxton Miller is shifting from
quarterback to receiver, whittling Ohio State’s QB competition to two star passers.
Miller told SI.com on Thursday night that he plans to start
the season in the H-back position and also hopes to return
punts.
He had surgery to repair of
torn labrum in his throwing
shoulder before the start of last
season and sat out while J.T.
Barrett and Cardale Jones led
the Buckeyes to their first national title since 2002.
“It’s a long process to get back
totally to throwing and throwing
every day,” Miller told SI.com.
“This is the smarter thing for
right now. God blessed me with
a lot of talent and different opportunities.
“I’m going to have fun with
that and still score a lot of
touchdowns and help the team
out and be dominant at that.”
Ohio State coach Urban
Meyer told The Columbus Dispatch that Miller was premature
in talking about his position
switch.
“I haven’t made those decisions yet,” Meyer told the newspaper. “It’s a little bit jumping
the gun here. Braxton came to
see me. He’s been talking to me
about it. We’ve been working at
it, but I’m not ready to say exactly how we’re going to use him
yet.”
With Miller out last season,
Barrett led Ohio State to an 11-1
record before breaking his ankle.
Jones stepped in and guided
the Buckeyes to victories in the
Big Ten title game against Wisconsin, the national semifinal
against Alabama and the championship game against Oregon.
That left Ohio State looking
at a three-man competition for
the starting quarterback job,

with three players that could
start on just about any team in
the country.
The competition, however,
never really got started.
Of the three quarterbacks,
Jones was the only one healthy
enough to fully take part in
spring practice.
Barrett
progressed
well
enough that Meyer and his staff
had no worries he would be
ready to compete come August
and preseason practice.
Miller, though, still needed to
be cleared by doctors to throw
full strength.
He tweeted out that he had
received a clean bill of health a
few weeks back and re-iterated
he had no intention of transferring from Ohio State.
The 6-foot-2, 215-pound Miller could have switched schools
and played immediately this
year as a graduate transfers, but
decided to return to Ohio State
for a fifth season.
He threw 52 touchdown passes in his first three seasons at
Ohio State, but it was as a runner that Miller was special.
He ran for 3,054 yards and 32
scores and was the Big Ten player of the year in 2012 and 2013.
The H-back in Ohio State’s
spread offense is a do-it-all position that combines some receiver
and running back duties. The
Buckeyes can add Miller to talented group of playmakers that
includes running back Ezekiel
Elliott, H-Backs Jalin Marshall
and Dontre Wilson, and wide receivers Michael Thomas and Corey Smith.
The Buckeyes open at Virginia Tech on Sept. 7.

Chiefs cornerback Smith suspended 3 games for DUI arrest
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) —
Chiefs cornerback Sean Smith
will miss the first three games
of the regular season, including
matchups against the Broncos’
Peyton Manning and Packers’
Aaron Rodgers, after he was suspended Friday for violating the
NFL’s substance abuse policy.
Smith, who was arrested
last year on a drunken driving
charge, pleaded guilty earlier
this year.
The 28-year-old paid a fine
and received two years of probation.
Smith will miss games against
Houston, Denver and Green Bay
before returning Week 4 against
Cincinnati.
That means the Chiefs will
have to fill his spot with an
unproven rookie or backup for
matchups with a couple of the
game’s prolific quarterbacks.
“We respect and support the
league’s decision in this matter and will have no further
comment on the situation,” the
Chiefs said in a brief statement
Friday.
The timing is far from ideal
for Smith, too.
He is entering a contract year
after one of the best seasons of
his career.
He started all 16 games and
was part of a stingy defense that
did not allow a 300-yard passer, and finished second to NFC
champion Seattle in scoring.
Under the NFL substance
abuse policy, first-time offenders
generally receive two-game suspensions.
But there can be additional
discipline depending on the
circumstances, and Smith was
pulled over by police last year
after his car struck and broke a
light pole.
When asked during workouts
last month whether Smith expected to be suspended, he replied: “I don’t know. I have no
control over that. I just wake up,
come to work and do my job.”
Rookies report to training
camp in St. Joseph, Missouri, on
Tuesday, with the full squad due
to report July 31.
The Chiefs play their pre-
season opener Aug. 15 at St.
Louis, though it remains to be
seen how much Smith plays in
their four exhibition games.
The Chiefs may use those reps
to get his replacement ready for
the opener.
The Chiefs were already
headed to training camp next
week trying to settle the cornerback position opposite Smith,
where Phillip Gaines appeared
to make the biggest move in the
offseason.
Jamell Fleming and Marcus
Cooper have some experience,
and Ron Parker could fill the
spot, though he is more suited
for safety.
That leaves a pair of rookies,
first-round pick Marcus Peters
and third-round choice Steven
Nelson, in the mix for the starting job.
Peters ultimately could land
the spot, but starting a rookie in
Week 1 is hardly ideal.
“No pressure at all,” Peters
said during minicamp.
“I’m going to come out here
and compete the best that I can,
and take these three days as a
learning (process), being around
the vets, and get some more information about the playbook.
Once it’s time for training camp,
it’s on.”

BLONDIE
WALL STREET —
The U.S. stock market capped a four-day losing streak with its biggest drop of the week.
Disappointing quarterly results and outlooks
from several companies pulled the major stock
indexes sharply lower on Friday. New signs
pointing to a slowing of China’s economy also
added to investor jitters, bringing down the price
of oil and other commodities.
While corporate profits have mostly exceeded
Wall Street’s expectations so far this earnings
season, investors have grown uneasy as many
companies provided cautious outlooks or weak
sales.
“The revenue numbers have been very shaky,”
said JJ Kinahan, TD Ameritrade’s chief strategist. “After next week, we’ll have a much better
picture overall how the earnings season was. But
right now, that’s the theme that I’m seeing, and
it’s not a healthy one.”
The mixed company earnings increasingly
weighed on stocks as the week wore on. The
Standard & Poor’s 500 index has now lost ground
four out of the last five weeks.
The S&P 500 ended the day down 22.50
points, or 1.1 percent, to 2,079.65, while the Dow
Jones industrial average slid 163.39 points, or
0.9 percent, to 17,568.53. The Nasdaq composite
lost 57.78 points, or 1.1 percent, to 5,088.63.
Stocks kicked off the week on a strong note,
driving the Nasdaq to its latest record high and
bringing the S&P 500 close to a milestone of
its own. But it’s been downhill since then. The
Dow fell into negative territory for the year on
Thursday. As of Friday, it was down 1.4 percent
for 2015.
The tech-focused Nasdaq remains the bestperforming index for the year. It’s up 7.4 percent,
compared with 1 percent for the S&P 500.
Trading got off to an uneven start on Friday.
The major indexes were all down by midmorning
as traders sized up the latest corporate earnings.
Biotechnology company Biogen and pharmaceutical company AbbVie both reported a betterthan-expected second-quarter profits, but their
revenue fell short of Wall Street forecasts. Biogen plunged $85.02, or 22.1 percent, to $300.03.
AbbVie declined $2.44, or 3.5 percent, to $68.08.
Capital One Financial, which announced
quarterly results a day earlier that failed to live
up to financial analysts’ expectations, sank 13.1
percent. The stock ended down $11.91 at $78.86.
Even a dash of merger news, which often puts
investors in a buying mood, failed to impress.
Anthem agreed to buy rival Cigna for $48 billion in a deal that would create the nation’s largest health insurer by enrollment, covering about
53 million U.S patients. Anthem fell $4.35, or 2.8
percent, to $150.86, while Cigna lost $8.64, or 5.6
percent, to $145.72.
Investors did welcome Amazon’s latest quarterly report card. The e-commerce pioneer announced a surprise profit late Thursday. The
stock vaulted $47.24, or 9.8 percent, to $529.42.
Nine of the 10 sectors in the S&P 500 ended
lower. Health care stocks fell the most, 2.5 percent. Utilities edged higher.
Of the 187 companies in the S&P 500 that
have reported earnings so far, about 72 percent of
them have delivered results that beat Wall Street
estimates, according to S&P Capital IQ. That’s
better than the historical average of 66 percent.
The price of U.S. government bonds rose
slightly. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note
fell to 2.26 percent from 2.27 percent late Thursday.
OIL PRICES —
In energy trading, the price of oil continued
to slide Friday as the number of rigs drilling for
oil in the U.S. rose. Benchmark U.S. crude fell
31 cents to close at $48.14 a barrel in New York.
Crude fell 5 percent for the week, and is down 19
percent for the month. Brent crude, a benchmark
for international oils used by many U.S. refineries, fell 65 cents Friday to close at $54.62 a barrel
in London.
In other futures trading, wholesale gasoline
fell 2.4 cents to close at $1.828 a gallon, while
heating oil fell 2.5 cents to close at $1.630 a gallon. Natural gas fell 4 cents to close at $2.776 per
1,000 cubic feet.
BOARD OF TRADE —
CHICAGO (AP) — Grain futures were lower
Friday on the Chicago Board of Trade.
Wheat for September delivery was off 9.75
cents to $5.1175 a bushel; December corn lost
12 cents at 4.0275 a bushel; December oats fell
6.50 cents at 2.4250 a bushel; while November
soybeans declined 15.50 cents to $9.65 a bushel.
Beef and pork were lower on the Chicago
Mercantile Exchange. October live cattle was off
.53 cent to $1.4412 a pound; August feeder cattle
was .10 cent lower to $2.0967 a pound; while October lean hogs fell .68 cent to $.6402 a pound.

SATURDAY, JULY 25, 2015
Not only is it bad manners
to interrupt people, but it represents a generally narcissistic
worldview. The interrupter is
suggesting through action that
his or her expression is more important than the one currently
taking the stand. Mercury newly in Leo warns against such
rudeness and promises that hot
tempers will follow disrespectful actions.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
The strange paradox of the day
is that the more you take on the
less stressful life becomes. You’ll
push yourself hard and arrive at
a new level of competence.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Just because a person has thick
skin doesn’t mean he or she is
heartless. In fact, once this person lets down their guard, you’ll
likely find someone more emotionally fragile than you had
imagined.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
You’ll likely contradict yourself
a few times today, and you can
chalk it up to your twin-ish nature. A world without contradiction would be a dull one, indeed!
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
A wild animal following the
scent of bait doesn’t expect to
get caught in a trap. Domestic
creatures like us are more wary,
as we should be! Easy pickins
often land us in cages.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your
astral gift is sudden understanding. And out of this instant
wisdom, your priorities will order themselves. You’ll go to bed
a different person than you were
when you woke up this morning.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If
you don’t prioritize, work can
keep you from work. Categorize
and sort your efforts, and then
use that intricate measurement
system called “your gut” to determine where your time is best
spent.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
What do your possessions say
about you? It depends on the observer. You’ll see your stuff differently as you view it through
the eyes of the various people
you interact with today.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
When you put your mind to it,
you usually think of an easier
way to do things -- today will be
no exception. Tonight you’ll impress key players who will later
join your side.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Guilt is not a good weapon
of persuasion. You usually wind
up avoiding those who try to
guilt you! You operate on an attraction-only basis, putting out
your upbeat efforts and hoping
they are sticky enough.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). It is said that “love enters
through the eyes.” Even though
you’ve long adored your loved
one, you are still delighted by
the sight of this person. You’re
also mindful to keep your own
image fresh.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Bottom line: You can live better with less. Have the guts to
throw out what you know you
won’t use and don’t need. What?
It was a gift? That only means
it’s totally yours to do with as
you wish.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Sharing a bloodline with another person doesn’t, in and of
itself, give you an obligation to
that person. Relationships are
so much more than shared DNA.
Consider the bigger picture, and
don’t sell yourself short.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July
25). The days will progress,
and yet you will not get older.
You are so strongly engaged in
life that you reverse the aging
process. As for your work, the
rhythm changes in September
and thoroughness matters most.
You’ll be more productive at a
slower pace. In 2016, you’ll be
supported in ways you expect
and in ways you don’t. Scorpio
and Pisces people adore you.
Your lucky numbers are: 4, 19,
22, 28 and 45.
SUNDAY, JULY 26, 2015
The human tendency is to believe the thing that resonates
with one’s instincts and disbelieve what doesn’t, truth be
damned. It takes an open mind
to fight this tendency and erase
bias. As Uranus joins four other planets in their retrograde
dance, there will be plenty of
opportunity to detach, consider,
reconsider and move closer to
truth.
Even though, as a rule, you have
social expectations of people,
you are willing to extend the
benefit of the doubt in rather
creative ways. It’s not foolish;
it’s compassionate.
Getting there used to be half
the fun. Lately, it’s such a hassle
you find yourself thinking twice
about leaving the house. Would
it be better if you moved or
changed your schedule or style
of transportation?
You have two important missions of the day, and both will be
fulfilled inside small and subtle
details. Mission 1: Make life better for those around you. Mission 2: Provide joy.
Being extremely attracted to
someone or something will automatically put you in synch with
it. Your rhythms will naturally
align with the object of your affection.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). What
percentage of your good luck
would you attribute to serendipity? You’ll make the most of
what you were born into and
gifted with while working to
make up for what you were not.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
You don’t feel like you have to
be like everyone else. You are all
the more attractive for loving
something that unconventional.
If that makes you a geek, you’ll
wear the label with great pride.
Your instinct to stay cool, remain at a detached distance and
assess the situation before reacting will keep you in the good
graces of those around you. It
might even save the day.
Those who value silence will
be regarded with suspicion. Because you’ll be in a quiet mood,
you might consider chiming in
now and then with some innocuous comments to avoid drawing
unwanted attention to yourself.
21). Morning shows you as a
rebel, a dreamer and a fighter.
Evening shows you as a comfort-seeking love bug whose biggest dreams include pillows and
long stretches of time.
19). The bottom line is, when
your power and talents are in
full use, you’re happy. When
you’re underutilized, you’re not
content. Work is essential to
your joy.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
You see the value in organized
groups, and yet you refuse to
blindly follow authority. Your
investigations of the day may be
perceived as threatening to certain people.
Some of your powers and talents are so close to you that you
don’t recognize them as anything more than ordinary human traits. It takes an outsider
to highlight your unique insides.
26). This year your life is a canvas that you paint with many
layers and colors. In August, you
will abandon your former ideas
of beauty for something wilder
and freer. September brings resolution to last year’s plaguing
issue. The work you turn in in
mid-October will lead to a prosperous end of the year. Aquarius
and Capricorn people adore you.
Your lucky numbers are: 13, 22,
18, 1 and 45.
FORECAST FOR THE WEEK
AHEAD: When Uranus joins the
retrograde planets at the top
of the week, it will temporarily
mute his hotheaded tendencies,
providing a welcome reprieve.
It’s easier to grow in a stable environment. How can you create
this for yourself and for others?
It should be noted that stability
is not always boring. In fact, it
can be a springboard for some of
the most exciting happenings of
life.
This week brings a blue moon
that will live up to its reputation, if not in color, then certainly in the kind of rare, whimsical experience that is associated
with this lunar anomaly. The
blue moon has come to refer to
the third full moon of a season
with four full moons, or the second full moon in a month. Friday, July 31, will celebrate the
unlikely, highlight the rare and
honor the unusual. Until then,
don’t waste your time trying to
cover up what’s different about
you. If you know the thing that
sets you apart, consider yourself
lucky. And if you don’t, make it
your business to find out. The
help of a trustworthy Taurus, a
practical Virgo or a plainspoken
Capricorn could be invaluable to
this mission.
MONDAY, JULY 27, 2015
As for the people who seem
to be in love with themselves,
there’s something oddly attractive about them at first. If you
accidentally become enamored,
you’re not to be blamed as long
as the fiery Sagittarius moon
and the Leo sun rule the sky.
Just know that it’s hard to get
back home when you’re traveling down a one-way street.
You can’t hide something that’s
not there. It’s why emptiness is
so embarrassing. It’s why people feel driven to fill it with just

about anything around. Be sensitive to lack. Everyone lacks
something.
You may be by yourself for
hours today, but you won’t feel
lonely, largely because your noble thoughts and extraordinary
interests keep you company.
The amateurs complain that
they weren’t meant for this activity or that one. It’s not true.
It doesn’t matter what you’re
doing; you shine through it. You
can’t help but be you.
Thomas Jefferson suggested
that the best government governs the least. He trusted human nature and expected that
people usually will discipline
themselves. Do you think that’s
true? Today will make you wonder.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Here’s a case for articulation
and specificity: The right words
ring through you, resonating
with your very being and shaking loose the tarnishing muck.
Those words that are close but
not right have no resonance.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
When inaction is the norm, it
takes boldness -- some would
say insanity -- to act. You have
the guts to make a difference.
You’ll set the wheels in motion
and be admired.
The most exciting person to be
around is the one who challenges you, catches you off guard
and makes you feel alive. Such
a person will come into your life
within the week.
Invest what you have in a safe
bet, or in the ordinary things on
which you would normally focus
your energy. If you don’t have
the goods yet, build them and
grow them before promising
them away. Stay debt-free.
21). Look ahead and decide
whether you have the means to
get there or not. This is no time
for conjecture. You can’t jump a
chasm in two leaps.
19). A wise man said that love is
life. However, “love” is also one
of the most ambiguous words in
the human language. You’ll ex-
plore what it means to you and
come up with a few defining
principles.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Destiny suggests you’ll be
rekindling the past. It takes a
long time to know someone, and
if you’ve been apart for a few
years, the getting-to-know-you
process must happen all over
again, as people change.
Your love life has been a combination of exhilarating highs and
disheartening lows, so much so
that you welcome the easy, uneventful, coasting sensation
you’ll get today.
27). Your superpowers surge as
planets dose you with constellation elation. Your cash flow
will increase steadily. September will highlight the visionary
part of you. Go forward -- you’ll
meet the right person to take
your plan all the way. You may
have mad chemistry with someone, but good relationships require much more. Cancer and
Scorpio people adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 3, 50, 22, 27
and 31.
Big Horn County 4-H Dog Show in Basin
Rocker Vince
Neil drops
lawsuit over
passwords
LAS VEGAS (AP) — A lawyer
for Motley Crue frontman Vince
Neil says the rocker got back his
social media passwords after suing a consultant he hired and accusing her of posting online without his consent.
Attorney James Kohl confirmed
Friday that Kristy Sinsara handed
over the passwords and the case
was dismissed in early June.
In the March lawsuit filed in
Las Vegas court, Neil said he gave
his Facebook and LinkedIn profile
passwords to Sinsara, who said
she was a social media branding
expert and would manage the accounts.
The lawsuit accused Sinsara
of holding the passwords hostage
and making unauthorized posts.
Sinsara has said it was a misunderstanding and mentioned
Friday that Neil had access to his
accounts all along.
Man who jumped
in lake to avoid
rescuers sent to
trial
LEVITTOWN, Pa. (AP) — A
district judge says a drunkendriving suspect who ran naked
from a hospital and jumped into
an eastern Pennsylvania lake
must stand trial for disorderly
conduct and other charges.
The defense attorney for
29-year-old Gregory Morten, of
New Hope, argued Thursday that
his client was so drunk and mentally disturbed that he couldn’t
think clearly and didn’t intend
to disturb the public or endanger
rangers at Core Creek Park in
Middletown.
Morten was arrested June 6
because police say his blood-alcohol content was more than four
times the legal limit after a car
crash.
He’s still awaiting a hearing
on the drunken driving and related charges.
That’s when he ran from St.
Mary Medical Center and jumped
into the lake where he kept authorities at bay by swimming
around, sometimes underwater,
for about an hour.
Theater victims were popular student and outgoing artist
LAFAYETTE, La. (AP) — One
was a popular student studying
to be a radiology technician, while
the other was an outgoing artist
who ran retail boutiques in two
Louisiana cities.
The two people slain by a gunman who opened fire Thursday in
a crowded Louisiana movie theater, Jillian Johnson and Mayci
Breaux, had promising careers
and the love of friends and family.
“They had a face, they had a
name. They had a future. It wasn’t
to die in this theater,” said Col.
Michael Edmonson, head of Louisiana State Police.
The Big Horn County Fair 4-H Dog
Show Friday featured dogs and 4-H
youth from around the county competing in showmanship, conformation
classes, obedience and agility.

champion showman in the intermediate division of the 4-H Dog Show Friday morning in Basin. Karina Boreen

RIGHT: Mary Schwope of Cowley won
grand champion 4-H senior showman
Friday morning at the Big Horn County Fair in Basin. Scotlyn Flitner (not

BELOW: Big Horn County 4-H member
Mallory Brown of Greybull watches as
dog show judge Mary Martin of Cheyenne checks her dog during the intermediate showmanship contest Friday
morning as the Big Horn County Fair
got under way in Basin.
As friends and family tried to
make sense of the tragedy, they
also shared memories of the two
victims.
Jillian Johnson, 33, was remembered as an all-around “creative force” who ran clothing and
art boutiques, played in a rootsy
rock band, helped organize a music festival, and used her design
skills on t-shirts and other crafts.
Nobody answered the door at
the home Johnson shared with her
husband, Jason Brown, but there
were signs of the tragedy as a delivery truck driver left flowers at
the front porch.
“I just can’t believe this. Not
Jillian. Not Brown. They’re good
people,” said next-door neighbor
Nolan Martin Sr., 57.
Mayci Breaux, 21, was in the
first year of an associate’s degree program for medical radiology technicians at Louisiana State
University-Eunice.
The head of the program, Robert McLaughlin, described her as
a sweet, generous person who was
always polite and professional.
“She was the kind of person you
want in your program,” McLaughlin said. “She had a lot of potential.
I knew she would do well.”
