The $6 million earmarked
for the expansion and renovation of the Technical
Education Center is approximately half of the total
needed to provide a healthier, safer and more secure
facility for students to gain

College officials plan to request the additional funds from the State of Wyoming
during the 2016 legislative session.
“Our strategic direction focuses on doing
our part to help Wyoming and the nation as
a whole to prosper. We are so very fortunate
to have many, many people here who
believe in this goal and are willing to take
action on behalf of the future generations
who will continue to benefit from their
efforts for years to come,” Young said.
“Thank you to Whitney Benefits.”
The next steps for the Mars Agriculture
Center and Whitney Center for the Arts
projects include selecting architects and
construction managers, which college officials hope to have completed by early fall.
The design phases will likely last through
this fall, with a ground breaking as early in
spring 2015 as weather will allow.
Sheridan College officials hope to have
the projects completed by late summer of
2016.
Portion of Whitney Benefits funding
to go toward Tech Center expansion
FROM STAFF REPORTS
SHERIDAN — Included in the new gift
to Sheridan College from Whitney
Benefits is a commitment of $6 million to
go toward renovation and expansion of
the college’s Technical Education Center.
The current facility was built in 1977
and is in need of upgrades and repairs,
SC officials said. Planned expansion has
been a priority on the College’s master
plan for several years and would create
new space that would potentially quadruple enrollment in the Welding Technology,
Diesel Technology, Construction
Technology and Machine Tool Technology
programs.
“If our goal is to accept more students
into high-demand programs that lead to
good, high-paying jobs, then we have to
address the need for additional, safe
learning space,” said Kati Sherwood,
Northern Wyoming Community College
District Board chair.
The college asked voters from Sheridan
County in August 2013 to support a general obligation bond for $15.8 million to pay
for the project, but the vote did not pass.
Matching an earlier gift of $500,000 from
Whitney Benefits with contributions from
private individuals who have pledged
another $500,000, the College has been
able to start on $1 million of immediate
improvements to the aging facility.
Those improvements, which are already
underway, will include a 2,500 square foot
addition and 5,000 sq. ft. renovation to the
Machine Tool Technology space and a
1,200 square foot addition and 7,000 square
foot renovation to the Diesel Technology,
Welding Technology and Construction
Technology areas.
“This important first phase of the Tech
Center project will really help us move
forward,” Sheridan College President Dr.
Paul Young said. “The College hopes to
use the $6 million gift from Whitney as a
match for a planned request of $6.5 million from the state of Wyoming in the 2016
legislative session.”

LARAMIE (AP) — Aircraft have been
requested to help contain a wildfire burning in the Medicine Bow National Forest
west of Laramie.
Fire managers said Tuesday they have
ordered two heavy air tankers and three
helicopters. Forty firefighters were on the
scene.
The blaze had burned about 300 acres or
about one-half square mile by Tuesday
morning. No figures were available on
progress toward containing the fire.
The nearby Lake Owen Campground was
evacuated Monday, and residents along Fox

The fire began at noon on Monday. The

Oil train issues left up to
local Wyoming agencies
CASPER (AP) — Amid widespread concern over crude oil shipments by rail, the
task of addressing safety issues in
Wyoming has been mostly left up to local
governments.
The Casper Star-Tribune reported
Monday the Wyoming Office of Homeland
Security doesn’t track crude oil shipments
except for large movements from the
Bakken formation in North Dakota.
Bakken crude is considered more volatile

Department of Transportation requires
railroads to notify state officials of shipments of more than 1 million gallons.
State homeland security officials say they

Wyoming has no state agency for railroads. The state Transportation

Speeding, drinking suspected
in fatal Powell crash
CODY (AP) — Speeding and alcohol use
are believed to have contributed to a crash
that killed a 25-year-old man and injured
his three passengers in Powell.
The Park County Sheriff ’s Office says
Matthew Joseph McNamara of Cody died
after he lost control on a curve on Sunday,
swerved into the oncoming lane and then
over-corrected and rolled off the road. One
of his passengers, 23-year-old Sean Michael
Roberts, told investigators that they were
driving at 55 mph at the time of the crash,
which investigators say was too fast for the
area.
Roberts and 21-year-old Elizabeth
Gurrola were flown to St. Vincent Hospital
in Billings, Montana after the crash. A
third passenger, 24-year-old Joe Fred
Walker, was treated and released from
Powell Valley Hospital. The passengers are

New EPA rule confusing
CASPER (AP) — Wyoming State
Engineer Pat Tyrrell says the federal
Environmental Protection Agency’s new
proposed rule on what waters are under
EPA jurisdiction is confusing.
The Casper Star-Tribune reported
Monday Tyrrell is unsure of the distinction between groundwater, which isn’t
under EPA jurisdiction, and shallow subsurface water, which is.
The proposed rule was issued in March
to clarify which waters are barred from
and businesses and eventually splitting a
house in two.
The Jackson Hole News & Guide reported
Monday options include building buttresses to hold the hillside in place or relocating
a road that climbs the hillside.
Estimates for building buttresses range
from $8 million to $10 million. That would
include removing the damaged house.
Building a new road up is estimated to
cost $5 million to $7 million.
The Town Council were scheduled to
meet Monday night to discuss the issue.

The Casper Star-Tribune reports the
state is experiencing a boost from job
growth in service industries and continued
development in the oil and gas industries.
State economist Jim Robinson points to
the modest rebound in natural gas prices
and the increased number of oil and gas
drilling permit applications as a jobs creator. Wyoming’s oil and gas industry currently provides 17,100 jobs, 400 more jobs
than in May 2013. That’s according to the
June 2014 Wyoming Insight report.
Personal income in the state increased

Heavy rain, hail hit Colorado
DENVER (AP) — A storm packing large hail, wind and heavy rain rolled
through parts of Colorado on Monday evening.
The storm brought an end to triple-digit temperatures but caused isolated
flooding and power outages. KUSA-TV reports that there were also reports of
downed trees.
National Weather Service meteorologist Jim Kalina says the hardest hit
area was Arvada, where there were reports of golf ball-sized hail and 70
mph winds. Kalina says in Byers, east of Denver, there were 3 inches of hail
on the ground. The weather service also issued flash-flood warnings in
Arapahoe and Elbert counties.
The storm started in northern Colorado in Larimer County, moved
through Boulder County, and then the Denver area. It followed a day with a
high of 100 degrees, which Kalina says was the hottest temperature of the
year.
SHERIDAN — City Council
kept its Sheridan WYO Rodeo
week meeting short to give
council members more time to
enjoy family and festivities.
The meeting began at 7 p.m.
Monday and adjourned within
five minutes. All business was
taken care of with approval of
the consent agenda.
In order to avoid a conflict of
interest, Councilman Jesus
Rios abstained from giving his
vote of approval to a $4.99 payment to Ptolemy Data Systems
for contractual services that
was included in the claims list
on the consent agenda.
The council first voted to
amend the consent agenda to
remove one item — an award of
the Wyoming Avenue/Park
Street area reconstruction
phase three project to North
Star of Gillette in the amount
of $2,560,563.09. The project
was set to be funded with a
combination of water and
sewer, Optional One-Cent Sales
Tax, Capital Facilities Tax,
mineral royalty grant and
DWSRF Loan/Grant funds.
Included in the consent agenda was an item that City
Utilities Division Manager Dan
Roberts said should make area
gardeners happy.
The council approved the purchase of a used Ag Bag
Machine for $153,750. Roberts
said the Ag Bag Machine will
allow the landfill to improve its
composting operations with an
in-vessel system that will provide consistent, high quality
compost in 90 to 120 days, start
to finish.
The system utilizes ventilation tubes that run down the
center of each bag to provide
oxygen inside the vessel for the
compost. It will allow the landfill staff to reintroduce
biosolids into composting operations, which will improve the
quality of the compost while
also cutting down on the smell
at the landfill, Roberts said.
The Ag Bag is also expected
to allow staff to introduce
other compostable materials
into the compost and to reduce
required labor and equipment
time associated with the current wind row, out-of-vessel
composting system.
Once electrical infrastructure
is installed, the city will begin
its first batch of Ag Bag
Machine compost. The first
batch is expected by the fall,
and by spring, landfill staff
should be able to turn over
compost each week that is rich
in nitrogen and good for area
gardens, Roberts said.
Another item approved on the
consent agenda was a water
agreement with Holly Seed.
The agreement will allow Holly
Seed to use 1,775,000 gallons of
treated city water per year at
its West Fifth Street property
in exchange for giving the city
access to 11.8 acre feet of water
rights held by Holly Seed in
Dome Lake Reservoir.
Due to development in the
Cloud Peak Ranch subdivision,
Holly Seed lost access to its
Dome Lake water that was
diverted to them through the
Alliance Lateral ditch.
However, Roberts said, the city
can access the water through
Big Goose Creek. The city will
be allowed to use 100 percent of
Holly Seed’s Dome Lake
Reservoir shares for irrigation
or to sell to customers, while
Holly Seeds will receive 49 percent of its shares since the city
is treating the water.
“We see it as a win-win, for
sure,” Roberts said.

Pie.
One of the best
words ever.
Stephen Woody
One of the best
breakfasts — pie
and coffee. A particular, maybe peculiar, nod to southern heritage. Life is
just simply better after a good piece of
pie. There’s more clarity in thought,
the spirit is lifted. Pie is therapeutic.
The new Cowboy Café, which
opened just last week on Main Street
in Historic Downtown Sheridan, has
some mighty fine pie. Fresh pie. Lots
of varieties, too, printed daily on a
chalkboard. One day last week, Phil
Ashley, The Sheridan Press’ marketing director, and I had a wedge of pie.
Phil went with apple; I went the more
exotic route — blueberry almond
crunch. Bottomless cup of coffee, too.
A full house that morning in the new
place. A good sign.
The owners are Robert & Severine
Murdoch. They also have a similarly
named place over in Dubois. It, too, is
an ideal spot to stop for a minute and
break up the trip to Jackson with
some more pie.
Congratulations!

Jim Kaat, 75. Kaat plays against himself with two sets of clubs, one righty,
one lefty. Kaat won 283 games in the
major leagues from 1959 to 1983 with
five teams and is often considered the
best fielding pitcher ever. (For some
odd reason, he’s not in the Hall of
Fame.) He’s also an Emmy-winning
broadcaster for the MLB Network.
Lefthanded, Kaat is a seven handicap. On the right side, he’s a 10. He
shot his age as a lefthander at 70 in
2009; most recently, he shot his age as
a righty, 75. Rushin notes how Kaat
has shot his age as a lefty five times.
For those stuck on playing just one
side of the ball, it’s almost impossible
to imagine hitting from both sides.
Jim Benepe of Sheridan, a threetime professional tour champion as
most hereabouts know, won those
tournaments in the 1980s righthanded. These days, in league play at the
Powder Horn, he plays from the left
side. It boggles. As does shooting
one’s age.
Congrats!

Obama’s ‘imperial presidency’ doesn’t rule anything
On either end of Lafayette Square on
Monday, you could observe the receding
power of the Obama presidency.
On the north side, across from the White
House, stands St. John’s Episcopal Church,
“the Church of the Presidents,” where
every president since James Madison has
worshiped. But there was no sanctuary for
President Obama at St. John’s on Monday;
it was hosting a protest against him.
More than 100 Latinos — a constituency
that has been a reliable part of Obama’s
political base — stood on the church steps
as speakers denounced Obama’s pledge to
hasten deportations of children illegally
crossing the southern border. Addressing
the participants, many of whom held signs
saying “President Obama: STOP!!,” immigration advocate Gustavo Torres charged
that “the president has failed to act with
the urgency and competence that is
required.”
At that very moment on the other side of
the square, the White House was acting
with urgency on Obama’s latest executive
action, the “Excellent Educators for All”
initiative. Eight hundred feet from the
church protest, Education Secretary Arne
Duncan was in the White House briefing
room, talking about “differential compensation,” “systemic inequities” and the
administration’s plans to spend $4.2 million on a new “educator equity support
network.”
Duncan said the administration would
prefer to act with Congress rather than use
executive authority, “but we just can’t continue to wait.”
Certainly, the matter of teacher quality
for poor kids is important, but Duncan and
his administration colleagues are in for a
semester at the school of hard knocks if
they think a $4.2 million initiative (that’s
about 0.0001 percent of the federal budget)
will get attention when there’s a crisis on
the border, a crisis in Iraq and Syria, and

other fires to be extinguished at home and
abroad.
Indeed, the first question for Duncan on
Monday wasn’t about his
new initiative but about
the National Education
Association’s call over the
weekend for Duncan’s resignation after several policy disagreements. Duncan
said he doesn’t get
DANA
involved in “local union

politics.”
|
Local? The NEA is the
nation’s largest teachers
union and a key component of Obama’s political base — just like
the Latino activists protesting across the
square.
This is why the oft-leveled accusation
that Obama is running an “imperial presidency” is a bit silly. As imperial rulers go,
this president has about as much oppressive might and raw dictatorial clout as
Prince Hans-Adam II of Liechtenstein.
Republicans have never respected Obama’s
authority. And now, as his popularity slips,
he seems to be losing his ability to influence foreign allies, congressional
Democrats and some of his previously
loyal supporters.
Both the puny executive action and the
criticism from erstwhile allies on Monday
showed why the Obama presidency these
days is falling a good bit short of imperial
on the Alexander the Great scale.
Education was the White House’s message
du jour — lunch with teachers on the
South Lawn was the only item on Obama’s
publicly released schedule other than his
intelligence briefing — but it didn’t have a
chance of wresting the national narrative
away from less pleasant affairs.
On Tuesday, Obama plans to ask
Congress for additional funds to process
child immigrants. But then he’s going on a
fundraising trip to Colorado and Texas
that, his spokesman confirmed Monday,
doesn’t include a stop at the border. This
could put Obama further on the defensive
by inviting the sort of criticism that followed George W. Bush’s Hurricane Katrina
flyover.
In recent days, Obama has spoken in
scattershot fashion about education, jobs,
the Highway Trust Fund, immigration legislation and Republicans’ threat to sue him
for his supposedly monarchical behavior.
But his success in shaping the agenda has
been negligible. He has been at the mercy
of events, reacting to matters not of his
choosing and taking executive actions that,
for all the criticism, don’t have the permanence or reach of legislation.
Following Duncan’s visit to the briefing
room, new White House press secretary
Josh Earnest had the unpleasant task of
responding to all the other problems generated by supposed friends.
Ed Henry of Fox News inquired about
Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Tex.), who on
Sunday called the administration “one step
behind” on the border crisis. The
Associated Press’s Julie Pace asked about
Germany’s complaint that one of its intelligence operatives was allegedly a U.S. double agent. And Mark Landler of the New
York Times asked why Iraqi leaders seem
to be “brushing aside” the administration’s
pleas to form a new government.
To that last question, Earnest said he had
“been pretty candid, I think, over the last
couple of weeks, in articulating our disappointment.”
Articulating disappointment! Does the
arrogance of this imperial presidency
know no bounds?

Today’s Highlight in
History:
On July 8, 1889, The
Wall Street Journal was
first published. (Price of a
copy: two cents.)
On this date:
In 1663, King Charles II of
England granted a Royal
Charter to Rhode Island.
In 1776, Col. John Nixon
gave the first public reading
of the Declaration of
Independence, outside the
State House (now
Independence Hall) in
Philadelphia.
In 1853, an expedition led
by Commodore Matthew
Perry arrived in Yedo Bay,
Japan, on a mission to seek
diplomatic and trade relations with the Japanese.
In 1907, Florenz Ziegfeld
staged his first “Follies,” on
the roof of the New York
Theater.
In 1914, jazz singer and
bandleader Billy Eckstine
was born in Pittsburgh.
In 1919, President
Woodrow Wilson received a
tumultuous welcome in New
York City after his return
from the Versailles Peace
Conference in France.
In 1947, demolition work
began in New York City to
make way for the new permanent headquarters of the
United Nations.
In 1950, President Harry
S. Truman named Gen.
Douglas MacArthur commander-in-chief of United
Nations forces in Korea.
In 1962, just after midnight local time, Alitalia
Flight 771, a DC-8, crashed
as it was approaching
Bombay (Mumbai), India,
killing all 94 people on
board.
In 1972, the Nixon administration announced a deal
to sell $750 million in grain
to the Soviet Union.
(However, the Soviets were
also engaged in secretly
buying subsidized
American grain, resulting
in what critics dubbed “The
Great Grain Robbery.”)
In 1989, Carlos Saul
Menem was inaugurated as
president of Argentina in
the country’s first transfer
of power from one democratically elected civilian
leader to another in six
decades.
In 1994, Kim Il Sung,
North Korea’s communist
leader since 1948, died at age
82.
Ten years ago: Adelphia
Communications Corp.
founder John Rigas and his
son Timothy were convicted
in New York of looting the
cable company and deceiving investors. (John Rigas
was sentenced to 12 years in
prison; Timothy Rigas, 17.)
A Swedish appeals court
threw out a life prison sentence for the convicted
killer of Foreign Minister
Anna Lindh, ruling that
Mijailo Mijailovic should
receive treatment for his
“significant psychiatric
problems.”

Brewer’s immigrant TEEPEE: Powwow set for Friday after rodeo parade
driver’s license
policy blocked
FROM 1
PHOENIX (AP) —
Reyna Montoya is one of
nearly 19,000 young immigrants in Arizona who
have been allowed to stay
in the U.S. under the
Obama administration’s
deferred action policy, but
the benefits of the program in the state have
been limited.
As Montoya applies for
teaching jobs, she considers herself competitively
disadvantaged because
Arizona hasn’t allowed
her to get a driver’s
license as the federal policy allows.
She was among those
cheering a decision by a
federal appeals court that
on Monday ruled the state
cannot deny driver’s
licenses to immigrants in
the program. The threejudge panel of the 9th
Circuit Court of Appeals
suggested the policy was
intended to express hostility toward the young
immigrants, in part
because of the deferred
action policy.
“We are celebrating
now, but we are going to
have to continue to organize,” Montoya said, noting
that it’s not the only
example of difficulties
she and others face.
Montoya said her counterparts in Arizona often
struggle to pay for college,
because the state requires
those receiving deferred
action assistance to pay
out-of-state tuition, which
is more expensive.
The program was created by the Obama administration in 2012 to help
immigrants younger than
30 who came to the U.S.
illegally as children.
Applicants must have
been in the country for at
least five continuous
years, enrolled in or have
graduated from a high
school or GED program
or have served in the military. Aside from allowing
driver’s licenses, the program also permits young
immigrants to pursue a
two-year renewable work
permit.
States have imposed
various restrictions on
benefits such immigrants
are able to obtain, and
Arizona’s denial of licenses was one of the most
visible challenges to the
Obama administration’s
deferred deportation policy.
A separate court battle
is playing out in Arizona
over a community college
system that wants to
grant in-state tuition to
the immigrants — an
effort the state attorney
general has challenged.
Arizona was one of two
states that refused to
issue licenses to the
immigrants, sparking the
latest court fight over the
issue.
Republican Gov. Jan
Brewer called the ruling
misguided and said she
was considering appeal.
The appeals court ruling follows other highprofile battles between
Arizona and the federal
government over immigration, including court
decisions that struck
down much of a 2010
enforcement law but
upheld its most hotly
debated section, which
requires police to check
immigration status under
certain circumstances.
A traditional Crow teepee is 18 feet,
measured in steps from the tie to the
rear, except for special ceremonial
teepees which measure 21 feet, better
for housing a fire.
A Crow teepee has four base poles
where other tribes use three, a system
created by Yellow Leggings’ great
journey.
The four poles represent the cardinal directions and the seasons, east is
spring, south is summer, west is fall
and north is winter.
The teepee is one of three mothers
of the Crow people.
Their first mother is the one that
brings you into the world. The second
mother is the teepee and the third is
Mother Nature.
“You will always have a mother
when a teepee is there to protect you,
the teepee protects our children from
the elements,” Real Bird said.
“Whichever one, the people of the
earth will always have a mother
thanks to these three.”
Each time a pole is put up, it is done
so in a pair creating an “X” to create
strength for the lodge.
Each pole has a name, some inherent to the teepee and some reserved to
be named by the owner of the teepee.
Some poles of the teepee at the Inn
represent happiness and good health
and the owner named others in honor
of the buffalo and the elk.
Future of the teepee
Butch Jellis was the first white man
to get a tribal ID from the Crow chief.
After being adopted into the Crow
nation 20 years ago, Sings With the
Eagle — Jellis’ Crow name — began
work to bring the nearby nations to
Sheridan.
In 2003, Jellis adopted a crow daughter — which in Crow tradition is similar to the concept to being a godparent — where as if something happens
to her birth father, Jellis is responsible for her and her family, though she
is a grown woman.
Jellis said the concept is much more
spiritual to the Crow than that of a
godparent and he wanted to share
this tradition with the people of
Sheridan.
A traditional celebratory parade
was held to introduce his new daughter to the community of Sheridan and
150 people attended the inaugural
parade.
In the years since, the Crow have
participated in the rodeo week parade
and immediately followed the parade
with a powwow on Grinnell Street.
The event became more popular and
crowded through the years and this

Lanny Real Bird, right, explains the process to the audience at Monday night’s teepee
raising.
year Jellis asked Bob Townsend, new
owner of the Historic Sheridan Inn, if
the powwow could be held there.
Though in the past the community
has joined in the celebration, this
year the teepee raising with explanation of traditions and beliefs was
added to further
introduce Crow
culture to
Sheridan
County.
“The greatest
thing that can
come out of this
is not only the
people that
remember the
days when the
Indians used to
come to town to see it again, but also
to see the kids join the dance and pick
up the traditions for future generations,” Jellis said. “They are the way
of life; they were here first.”
The event was well-attended and
audience members were pulled in to
help tell the tale of Yellow Leggings
and also to learn the steps to traditional powwow dances, including the
Crow Hop and Circle Dances.
The official powwow will still follow
the parade similar to past years, but
will be bigger this year than ever
before.
In the parade will be 50 warriors on
horseback with 10 outriders at their
sides.
Once back at the Inn, the large gathering of Native Americans will replicate a photograph taken
more than one
hundred years
ago with Indians
lined up in front
of the Inn.
The powwow
Butch Jellis will begin immeTeepee raising organizer diately following
the parade and a
free trolley will
be available to
shuttle attendees from Grinnell Plaza
to the Inn.
Jellis said the Townsends have
already asked them to return next
year for the teepee raising and powwow.
“Did you see the twinkle in their
eyes as they listened to the story and
watched the dances?” Jellis asked.
“Did you ever know there was so
much behind each part of the teepee?
We will definitely do this again next
year.”
‘Did you see the twinkle in their
eyes as they listened to the story and
watched the dances?’

Authorities find body of
man in Michigan lake
SHELBY TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — Authorities in southeastern Michigan say they’ve
found the body of one of two people missing in area lakes.
The Macomb County sheriff ’s department said in a statement that a dive team recovered the body of a 44-year-old Hazel Park man from Stony Creek Lake at Stony Creek
Metropark around 8:30 a.m. Tuesday. The park is in Shelby Township, about 20 miles
northeast of Detroit.
The man was reported missing Monday evening while swimming near Baypoint Beach.
His name wasn’t immediately released.
Crews are also searching for a 33-year-old Shelby Township man who went missing in
Lake St. Clair while trying to help a woman who fell from a boat into the water. The
search for that man resumed Tuesday.
Soda tax’s last
stand? Bay Area
preps for showdown
WASHINGTON (AP) — If two of the
most progressive U.S. cities don’t pass
a tax on sugary drinks, will the idea
finally fizzle out?
Sugary drinks have been under fire
for years, with many blaming them
for rising rates of obesity and chronic diseases. Yet efforts to curb consumption by imposing taxes and
other measures have failed, in part
because the beverage industry has
spent millions to defeat the efforts.
Now, the question of whether a bottle of Dr Pepper with 64 grams of
sugar should be treated like a pack of
cigarettes is being considered in San
Francisco and Berkeley, with the two
California cities aiming to become
the country’s first to pass per-ounce
taxes on sugary drinks.
The stakes are high, especially
given the Bay Area’s reputation for
liberal politics. If approved, CocaCola, PepsiCo and other companies
fear it could galvanize health advocates elsewhere. If defeated, the idea
of a soda tax could be dead.
“The industry is really motivated to
beat us here. If they can beat us in
San Francisco and Berkeley, nobody
is going to take them on,” said Larry
Tramutola, the political consultant
handling the campaign in support of
the tax in Berkeley.
The odds aren’t in favor of taxes.
Since 2009, about 30 special taxes on
sugary drinks have been introduced
around the country. Few have gained
traction and none have prevailed.
Chris Gindlesperger, a spokesman for
the American Beverage Association,
the lobbying group for Coke and
Pepsi, says the failures show people
don’t support the idea.
Others say the industry uses unfair
tactics to defeat measures, such as
setting up groups with names like
“Citizens Against Beverage Taxes,”
which sound like they are community-driven but aren’t. They are nevertheless influential in shaping people’s
attitudes.
In San Francisco and Berkeley, supporters of the tax say they’re better
organized to battle such tactics.
They’re hitting the streets to educate
voters and plan to run TV ads, work
phone banks and mail fliers.
“In other places, bless their hearts,
but they were ill-prepared for what
was coming at them” said Maggie
Muir, a consultant who was hired by
San Francisco lawmakers to lead the
political committee in support of the
soda tax.
The San Francisco proposal is for a
two-cent-per-ounce tax on sugary
drinks and would not apply to milk or
natural fruit juices without any
added sugars. It needs a two-thirds
vote to pass in the November election.
The tax in Berkeley is for a penny
per ounce and needs a simple majority of the vote.
It’s a high bar either way. Just two
years ago, similar measures were
soundly defeated in other California
cities. Part of the reason is that even
some who think drinking sugary
drinks can be harmful don’t believe
taxing is the solution.

Washington poised to start legal marijuana sales
SEATTLE (AP) — Lines were growing in
the pre-dawn hours Monday outside shops
set to become the first in Washington state
to sell recreational marijuana legally.
Deb Green, a 65-year-old retiree, waited
all night outside Cannabis City, the only
licensed shop in Seattle. The owner wasn’t
planning to open his doors until noon
Tuesday.
Greene had showed up Monday afternoon
with a chair, sleeping bag, food, water and
a 930-page book.
”I voted for it, and I’m just so excited to
see it come to be in my lifetime,” she said.
“I’m not a heavy user, I’m just proud of our
state for giving this a try.” Washington was
the second state after Colorado to allow
recreational sale of pot.
A man also waited outside Cannabis City,
but slept in his car early Tuesday.
Meanwhile at 5 a.m., Sea of Green Farms
co-owner Bob Leeds loaded about seven
pounds of marijuana into boxes for a drive
to Bellingham and delivery to the Top Shelf
Cannabis store in time for its 8 a.m. opening. The pot was packaged in 1 gram plas-
tic bags.
The start of legal pot sales in
Washington marks a major step that’s been
20 months in the making. Washington and
Colorado stunned much of the world by
voting in November 2012 to legalize marijuana for adults over 21, and to create
state-licensed systems for growing, selling
and taxing the pot. Sales began in Colorado
on Jan. 1.
Businesses got word early Monday morning from the state that they were licensed
marijuana dealers.
Drumming up business

Corn prices fall as favorable weather continues
NEW YORK (AP) — The price of corn
fell to its lowest in almost four years on
Monday as favorable weather conditions
for the crop persist in the Midwest.
Corn for delivery in September fell 9
cents, or 2.2 percent, to $4.06 a bushel, its
lowest price since August 2010. As recently
as April 29, corn was trading at $5.22.
The price of corn has slumped in the last
two months as the right combination of
sun, rain and moderate summer temperatures has boosted the chances of a record
crop this year. U.S. corn is currently entering its pollination stage, a critical point of
its development.
“We saw further acceleration to the
downside today and the principal driver is
the weather,” said Sterling Smith, a commodities analyst at Citigroup.
The prices for wheat and soybeans also
fell.
Wheat for September dropped 22.8 cents,
or 3.9 percent, to $5.57 a bushel. Soybeans
for the same month fell 8 cents, or 0.7 percent, to $11.26 a bushel.
Most metals ended lower. Gold, silver,
copper and platinum all fell, while palladium rose.
Gold for August delivery dropped $3.60,
or 0.3 percent, to $1,317 an ounce. Silver for
September fell 12.3 cents, or 0.6 percent, to
$21.01 an ounce. Copper for the same
month fell 1.9 cents, or 0.6 percent, to $3.26
an ounce. Platinum for October slipped

NASCAR made
right call to
pull plug at
Daytona
(AP) –– When the sky opened for a third time
during the rain-rescheduled race at Daytona,
and teams pulled out car covers to wait out the
weather, it seemed the right time for NASCAR
to put the Coke Zero 400 out of its misery.
The entire weekend was plagued by rain.
Cars never got near the track for the scheduled
Saturday start. When the race finally did begin
Sunday — delayed, because of rain on the pace
laps — it went a whopping six laps before the
cars went back to pit road for another 25minute delay.
Then, the on-track carnage: a 16-car crash
seconds before a scheduled competition cau-
tion, and a 26-car crash before another shower.
A total of six drivers managed to avoid accidents, leaving just 17 cars on the lead lap.
It would have been comedic if it wasn’t such
a disastrous day for one of the biggest events
on the NASCAR schedule. So pulling the plug
seemed like such a logical decision when the
track was soaked through shortly before 3 p.m.
Drivers — especially those who were lined
up behind winner Aric Almirola when the race
was called with 48 laps remaining — thought
otherwise. And so did the fans.
Using social media to vent their frustration,
fans blasted NASCAR for calling the race so
early. Daytona International Speedway has
lights, and many claimed they were willing to
hang in there until they saw one driver take
the checkered flag.
They were robbed of that right when
NASCAR threw in the towel, they argued, and
a race is not complete until someone crosses
the finish line.
“I know a lot of the fans tuned into the TV
and stuck around at the race track waiting to
see a finish,” said second-place finisher Brian
Vickers.

Local athletes discuss competing in front of hometown crowd
BY MIKE PRUDEN
THE SHERIDAN PRESS
SHERIDAN — Whether you
wear ruby-red slippers or a pair
of cowboy boots, there really is
“no place like home.” That’s
exactly the case for six local riders as they compete in the
Sheridan WYO Rodeo this week.
While rodeo clown “Crash”
Cooper applies his makeup and
announcer Will Rasmussen
warms his vocal chords, as
19,000 fans file into their seats,
670 cowboys and cowgirls will be
finishing any last minute preparations as they ready themselves
for competition in Sheridan’s
premier event, kicking off
Wednesday at the Sheridan
County Fairgrounds.
Six of those riders will be competing right in their own backyard. Ronda Holwell, E.J.
Panetta, Devan Reilly and Zeke
Thurston are all from Sheridan,
while Miles Kobold represents
Big Horn. Thurston, who is also
a student at Sheridan College,
will be joined by teammate
Taygen Schuelke to round out
the six riders representing
Sheridan County in the rodeo.
The six riders will represent
Sheridan County in five of the
eight rodeo events throughout
the week.
Holwell, the only female of the
group, is competing in barrel
racing, while Kobold and
Panetta will be showcasing their
roping skills, competing in team
roping and tie-down roping,
respectively.
“I love my hometown rodeo,”
Kobold said. “I’ve done rodeo all
my life, and this is definitely one
of my favorite events.
Kobold, who now calls Billings
home, says it’s nice to come back
to Sheridan to compete in front
of his family.
“I spend a lot of my time up in
Montana, but this is a rodeo I
just don’t want to miss,” he said.
“I’ve got family here, and I’ve
got a little girl now, and it’s nice
to spend time with all of them.”
Reilly, Schuelke and Thurston
are the young guns of the group,
coming fresh off their solid performances in the College
National Finals Rodeo a month
ago.
Schuelke, in particular, will
carry a lot of momentum into
the week as he competes in saddle bronc riding. He finished as
the top all-around male at the
CNFR, including a third-place
finish in saddle bronc.
Thurston, who teamed up with
Schuelke to give Sheridan
College a fourth overall finish in
the team standings at the CNFR,
will be competing against his
teammate in the saddle bronc
event, while Devan Reilly will
look to carry his sixth-place
CNFR performance in bareback
riding into the week’s events.
But whether it be a Sheridan
College athlete or a professional,
a barrel racer or a bareback
rider, all six of these athletes
will have a little added pressure
as they compete in front of the
home crowd.
“There really is a lot of pressure being from here,” Holwell
said. “I look at it as, in barrel
racing, you’ve got 18 seconds to
make an impression, good or
bad. It’s more pressure because
everybody knows you, and you
want to look good in front your
home town.”
DENVER (AP) — With San
Diego’s pitching staff on a roll,
Ian Kennedy wasn’t about to
break the momentum.
Kennedy pitched seven sharp
innings, Rene Rivera hit a
tiebreaking RBI double in the
sixth and the Padres beat the
Colorado Rockies 6-1 on Monday
night in a game that included a
56-minute weather delay.
Chase Headley added four hits
for San Diego, including a tworun triple in the seventh inning
to break open a close game.
The outing by Kennedy extended a strong run by Padres
starters, who have allowed only
six runs over the last seven
games to help San Diego win five
of seven in that stretch.
“You talk about hitters getting
momentum, pitching staffs can
get momentum, too,” Padres manager Bud Black said. “Guys are
aware of what’s going on and
they’re watching other guys pitch
and they can gain confidence
from that and I think that’s
what’s happening.”
Kennedy seemed to gain
strength the deeper he got into
the game, striking out five of the
last six batters he faced before
wind, rain and lightning forced
the delay heading into the eighth
inning. Kevin Quackenbush
stepped in for Kennedy when play
resumed.
“The last eight, nine games,
we’ve thrown really well and you
don’t want to be that guy to throw
bad,” Kennedy said. “It’s a lot of
fun when the other guys on your
staff are throwing the ball well.
You can feed off that.”

Granger, McRoberts agree on deals with Heat
MIAMI (AP) — LeBron James has
been involved with some heated playoff
moments involving Danny Granger and
Josh McRoberts.
And now, they could be his teammates
— if the four-time NBA MVP decides to
stay in Miami.
The Heat announced Monday that they
intend to sign Granger and McRoberts
when the NBA’s moratorium on deals
being formally struck ends later this
week. McRoberts agreed to a four-year
deal that starts at around $5.3 million
next season, said agent Mike Conley Sr.,
with Miami using its mid-level exception to get that contract done.
“He thinks it’s a chance to do some
special things,” Conley Sr. said, adding
that McRoberts has a player option for
the final year of his Heat deal.
Yahoo Sports reported Granger agreed
to a two-year deal, worth about $2 million annually. Granger’s agent, Aaron
Mintz, did not immediately return messages seeking comment.
Those were the first two known moves
by the Heat during the free-agent shopping period, but all eyes remain on what
James is going to do and if he’s worn a
Miami uniform for the final time. Heat
President Pat Riley is planning to meet
with James later this week, in an effort
to convince him to stay in Miami.
It’s still unclear when the Riley-James
meeting will take place. James, Dwyane
Wade and Chris Bosh are all free agents,
and none have said where they will be
playing next season and beyond.
But even after going to the NBA Finals
in four straight seasons, winning two
championships, this was going to be an
offseason of change for the Heat. Miami
entered free agency with only Norris
Cole under a guaranteed contract for
this coming season. The Heat have a partially guaranteed deal with Justin
Hamilton and the rights to guard
Shabazz Napier, who was acquired on
draft night.
So there are obviously plenty of slots
to fill, and on Monday, the Heat began
tipping their hand on who will get those
jobs. Contracts begin getting signed
Thursday. McRoberts averaged 8.5 points
in 78 starts for Charlotte last season, and
raised Miami’s ire in the playoffs by leveling James with an elbow that some
Heat players said looked intentional.

RODEO: Competing in slack, evening performances at the WYO Rodeo this week
FROM B2
As attendance at the rodeo has increased over 10,000 people in the last 20 years, the added pressure also brings with
it plenty of support from the community for the riders.
“This is a community event that is embraced by everyone, and that’s what makes it so special,” Sheridan WYO
Rodeo President Zane Garstad said to the Press.
Regardless of being a Sheridan resident or not, Holwell
says that the Sheridan WYO Rodeo is one of the best
rodeos she has ever attended.
“I’ve been to a lot of rodeos,” she said. “Even if I wasn’t
from here, I’d say it’s one of the most fun rodeos I’ve been
to, as a competitor or a spectator. There aren’t very many
other rodeos where the stands are full every night.”
Despite the added pressure that it might add on her as a
competitor, Holwell credited the community’s commitment
to the rodeo for its success.
“The whole community gets involved,” she said. “Every
year it gets bigger and bigger and better and better. The
community really rallies, and as a whole they do an exceptional job.”
While the stands at the Sheridan County Fairgrounds
will be packed with people cheering on the cowboys, cowgirls, bull fighters and everything in between, they are
sure to be cheering a little bit louder for their hometown
riders.
ROCKIES: Major slump
Lightning fast
FROM B2
Kennedy (7-9) finished with nine strikeouts,
boosting his team-leading total this season to 125.
He allowed four hits in seven innings, including
Drew Stubbs’ leadoff home run in the fourth.
The Padres improved to 28-4 this season when
scoring four or more runs, the second-best mark in
baseball behind Washington, which is 39-3 when
scoring at least four times.
Slumping Colorado lost for the 18th time in the
last 21 games. They’ve gone 1-4 midway through a
10-game homestand.
“We can’t afford to lose series,” said Rockies
manager Walt Weiss, whose club lost three of four
to the Los Angeles Dodgers to open the homestand.
“We’re getting some (injured) guys back but bottom line is we have to start winning some series.”
The Rockies haven’t won a series since completing a sweep at San Francisco on June 15.
With the score tied at 1-1 in the sixth, Tommy
Medica hit a one-out double and Rivera followed
with a double to left. One out later, Cameron
Maybin sent a drive to the warning track in left
center that seemed to get caught in swirling winds
and dropped just beyond the reach of Corey
Dickerson’s glove as the Padres took a 3-1 lead.
San Diego added three runs in the seventh.
Kennedy drew a leadoff walk and Chris Denorfia
singled to chase Tyler Matzek (1-3). Headley, who
changed his batting grip slightly a little over a
week ago, greeted Matt Belisle with a triple off the
right-field wall, scoring Kennedy and Denorfia.
Carlos Quentin’s sacrifice fly put the Padres in
front by five runs.
“I feel like it lets me be a little shorter to the ball,
gives me a little more leverage,” Headley said of
his revised grip.
It does seem to have helped. He had his second
four-hit game in July after not having any in the
first 62 games of the season.
Matzek was charged with five runs and eight hits
in six innings.
Wade Shoemaker throws up his
arms to signal he has finished
tying his steer during slack on
Tuesday at the Sheridan County
Fairgrounds.
NASCAR: Many expected race to continue
FROM B2
“I was expecting them to wait a little bit longer knowing
that we have lights here and it was going to be a night race
anyway.”
Those fans have a point. But when posting from their living room with the race on the television, it doesn’t really
apply.
Weather has wreaked havoc on four events this season,
including the water-logged Daytona 500, which needed a
stoppage of more than six hours. Then came Bristol a
month later, and that race needed two stoppages of more
than five hours.
Both times, there were fans that stuck around for the fin-
ish. And both times, the television window was stretched,
but NASCAR’s partners worked with the series to keep the
events on TV.
Texas in April was just like Daytona on Saturday. It
rained hard all day, and the cars never got on the track. So
NASCAR came back the next day, a Monday, and got the
race completed under a sunny sky.
Some fans stayed, some left, but the television audience
was appeased.
Daytona was an entirely different animal.
It was a long holiday weekend with the party scheduled
for Saturday night’s main event. Rain had caused a wreck
in the Nationwide Series’ shortened qualifying session, and
the race was delayed on Friday night by more rain.

You've probably seen the
ads on television from the
National Cattlemen's Beef
Association with Hollywood
cowboy Sam Elliott intoning:
"Beef. It's what's for dinner."
Well, not so fast, pardner!
Although U.S. beef consumption is down from a
startling 79 pounds per per-
son per year in 1985 to
around 50 pounds, that's still
way too much. We've often
reported that eating red meat
amps up all causes of death
by 20 percent, and now
there's even more evidence of
the harm it can do. A new
study found a 22 percent
increased risk of breast cancer among women who regularly ate red meat during
their early adulthood (about
10 servings per week) compared with those who ate less
than one and a half servings
per week.
But fortunately, the study
also shows that you're not
doomed if you were a youthful red-meat eater! You can
slash your risk for breast
cancer by making changes in
your diet starting right now.
If you're premenopausal and
you eliminate one serving of
red meat from your diet and
add one serving of skinless
poultry, you'll reduce your
risk of breast cancer by over
17 percent; do that postmenopause and your risk
declines 24 percent.
We say, imagine how much
healthier you'd be if you limited your red meat intake to
no more (and often less) than
one 3- to 6-ounce serving a
week, and added three weekly servings of omega-3-rich
fish like salmon and ocean
trout and nine servings of
veggies and fruit a day. How
ironic: You'll beef up your
health if you skip the beef.

over the years? My generation (30s) is all about social
media. "Unsure" mentioned
that all the items she wanted
to include were preFacebook. I am a bit old-fashioned (or maybe stubborn) so
I don't do Facebook or
Twitter, and I don't understand the importance of a
"hashtag." I have no idea how
to Skype, nor do I pay my
bills online.
I think the scrapbook idea
is wonderful. There is something special about having
tangible items to go along
with important milestones
and memories. Even if the
gifts themselves don't strike a
chord with her friends, surely the consideration and time
she puts into the scrapbooks
will make her loved ones
realize how important they
are to her. I say, proceed with
confidence. Your friends are
lucky to have you. -- L.K. IN
THE MIDWEST
DEAR L.K.: Like you, read-
ers overwhelmingly support
"Unsure" in her efforts to create scrapbooks of memories
for her friends. Read on:
DEAR ABBY: I have also
saved cards, letters, wedding
photos and pictures of newborns, etc., for several
decades. A few years ago, I
simply returned them to the
people who had sent them.
Nearly all of the recipients
squealed with delight as they
thanked me, having realized I
had gifted them with "time
capsules" of their lives. Only
one friend was offended that I
had returned her items. She
said she was "appalled" that I
didn't cherish them myself.
The joy expressed by the others superseded the angry
friend. "Unsure," return
those items to the senders! -LINDA IN INDIANA
DEAR ABBY: I did the same
thing with photos. But
instead of returning them to
the person(s} who gave them
to me, I gave them to the children who were pictured in
the photos. Others I saved
and presented to the nowgrown child's spouse as a
wedding gift. So far they
have been well-received.
Most people are surprised to
learn that I actually kept all
these photos of them or their
children for so long and
appreciated the effort I put
into the scrapbooks. -- MEMORY KEEPER
DEAR ABBY: I am not a
crafter and I'm not very sentimental. I don't enjoy what I
consider clutter. As I've
grown older, I have done my
best to pare down and eliminate things I no longer have
use for. I have embraced technology. If "Unsure" were my
friend, I would appreciate it
more if she scanned anything she wanted to give back
to me. Either way, I would
probably view the scrapbook
or e-book, and then deep-six
it after the viewing. It
crossed my mind that perhaps "Unsure" is cleaning
out, and this is her way of
getting rid of her "clutter." -MAUREEN IN FLORIDA
DEAR ABBY: Yes! Bundle
and return the cards and letters with a note about what
the correspondence has
meant to you over the years.
As a young adult, I lived all
over the world and frequently wrote my friends and family about my life and what I
was experiencing. Over the
last few years I have received
bundles from my mother, my
sister and a friend -- all letters they had hung onto for
20 to 30 years. What a surprise and a joy. Reading these
old cards and letters gave me
a window into a world that
no longer exists, and reminded me of who I was then and
what my life was like. Yes,
please give back the correspondence. -- MARIANNE IN
CALIFORNIA

Hints from Heloise
Getting Medical
Records
Dear Readers: Do
you know what
your rights are
when it comes to
MEDICAL
RECORDS? The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Privacy
Rule gives you the right to not
only see but get copies of most
of your medical records.
Providers do have the right to
charge a fee for copies of your
medical records. I have found
that some do and some don't.
Ask your health-care professional if he or she does. Consider if you want only the past
year (and it's just a few pages)
or you want ALL of your
records (it's a lot). Medical staff
can charge you for time spent
copying your records and the
materials used to do it, if they
want to.
State laws vary on this issue,
but it's important for you to
know your rights. -- Heloise
P.S.: To keep up, ask for a
copy of ALL of your lab tests,
etc., right then, and start your
own health file. It's easy to do.
WET SHOES
Dear Heloise: Help! I got
Heloise
stuck outside in a rainstorm,
and even though the leather on
my dress shoes is protected, the
insides were soaked. What
should I do next time this happens? -- Jonathan L., via email
Boy, this does seem to happen, and it's not fun! Next time,
just grab some newspapers,
open them up and kind of
crunch them into a loose ball,
then stuff them into the shoes.
It helps the shoes keep their
shape, and it absorbs the moisture (you may need to replace
the papers a couple of times).
Do NOT put the shoes near direct heat or sunlight. Also,
sprinkle a little baking soda in
them to help absorb moisture
and some stinky odor as well. -Heloise
LITTLE HELPERS
Dear Heloise: With school out
for the summer, my daughters
and I are spending time in the
kitchen baking treats and making dinners. My daughters
wear old T-shirts to cook in instead of aprons. Aprons are too
big, and the ties get in the way.
A T-shirt fits against the body,
and it's easy to wash. -- Jennifer
L. in Indiana
Love it! A favorite Heloise
hint for bakers and "little" Pi-
cassos is to use a man's old
large shirt. Put it on backward
and roll up the sleeves, and it
covers everything. -- Heloise
CLUTTER ALTERNATIVE
Dear Heloise: I noticed that
the top of my dresser in the
bedroom was getting more and
more cluttered with all of my
personal cosmetics, perfume,
deodorant, hair spray and the
like.
I purchased a decorative medicine cabinet with a mirror. I
hung it over my dresser, and
now I have everything that I
need, behind closed doors. I
have a clean dresser top, and
everything I use is neatly
tucked away. -- Joan in New
Hampshire
STORING BUTTONS
Dear Heloise: A good use of a
pill sorter is for storing dressshirt buttons. From the tiny to
the large, they all can be contained. -- Cathy W. in Indiana
Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box
795000, San Antonio, TX 782795000, or you can fax it to 1-210HELOISE or email it to
Heloise(at)Heloise.com. I can't
answer your letter personally
but will use the best hints received in my column.

TAURUS (Apr. 20- May
20): Show by doing, not by
talking. Words may hold
empty promises, but no one
will doubt your sincerity if
you take a definitive course
of action. Projects run more
smoothly with cooperation
and teamwork rather than
competition.
GEMINI (May 21- June
20): If you don't know, ask.
There's no shame in seeking
help if you're not sure of the
details of a situation. You'd
feel much more foolish if
you forged ahead without
knowing what you were
doing. Work with others,
not against them.
CANCER (June 21- July
22): Lead the cheers. You
can get the ball rolling on a
new project by rousing your
colleagues to action and
sparking their enthusiasm.
Create an atmosphere of camaraderie to pique inter-
ests and ultimately achieve
optimum results.
LEO (July 23- Aug. 22):
Think "I can" and it will be
true. A little self-confidence
is all that's needed to conquer any obstacle before
you. Accept any given task
as a challenge, and once you
get started, your momentum will carry you forward.
VIRGO (Aug. 23- Sept. 22):
There aren't enough hours
in the day. Getting wrapped
up in your work may leave
loved ones feeling neglected, while quality time
with family may cause
work to suffer. Budget your
time carefully and you'll be
able to make everyone
happy.
LIBRA (Sept. 23- Oct. 22.):
Big jobs require big efforts.
You may have to put in
some extra hours to accomplish your latest task, but
there will be dividends to

DO YOU
NEED
TO WIN
FIVE
TRICKS
OR SIX?
Edgar
Fiedler,
an economist who worked
under presidents Nixon
and Ford, said, "Ask five
economists and you'll
get five different answers -- six if one went
to Harvard."
In this deal, how
would you play the club
suit if you need five
tricks? What if you require six?
South is in six notrump and West leads
the heart jack. With the
given hands, what
should he do? And suppose the diamond king
were only the queen.
How would that affect
declarer's approach?
South's leap to six notrump with only 17 highcard points seems
optimistic, but since
North has shown at least
a six-card club suit and
all of South's points are
in aces and kings, it is a
reasonable gamble.
South needs five club
tricks to go with two
spades, three hearts and
two diamonds. As he can
afford one club loser, declarer should take the
first trick and cash
dummy's club ace. Here
the king drops and
South can claim.
But if the king
does not appear,
declarer crosses
to his hand and
leads a club toward dummy's
queen. The likelihood of success is
about 72 percent.
Now let's
weaken the
South hand by
metamorphosing
the diamond king
into the queen.
South can get
home with either
five clubs and
two diamonds, or
six clubs and one
diamond. To find
out which way to

BIRTHDAY GUY: Actor
Toby Kebbell was born in
Pontefract, Yorkshire, England, on this date in 1982.
This birthday guy has
starred in such films as
"Wrath Of The Titans,"
"War Horse" and "The Sorcerer's Apprentice," as well
as his acclaimed film debut
in 2004's "Dead Man's
Shoes." Up next for Kebbell
will be roles in the upcoming blockbusters "Dawn of
the Planet of the Apes,"
"Warcraft," and a quick reboot of "The Fantastic
Four."
ARIES (Mar. 21- Apr. 19):
Get going while the going is
good. Take the time to
launch new projects and endeavors while energy levels
are at their peak. You'll be
able to accomplish much in
a short time, as your stamina is likely to last longer
than usual.
Campers, Trailers
turn, he should take the
diamond finesse first. If
it wins, he tackles clubs
as just described. But if
the diamond finesse
loses, declarer needs six
club tricks. He must
play low to dummy's
queen and hope West
started with exactly
king-doubleton. South's
chances have dropped to
just under 50 percent.
Jeraldine Saunders
reap in the end. For a team
to work effectively, everyone must be on the same
page in the playbook.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23- Nov.
21): Slow and steady wins
the race. You can create
something wonderful simply by working along at
your own comfortable pace
and not worrying about
time constraints. Sharing
your passions with friends
and loved ones may yield
useful feedback.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): You can't achieve
anything unless you work
at it. Take charge of the latest project and don't take
for granted that someone
else will do the work for
you. Your high energy level
may inspire others around
you to push that much
harder.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Give it up for the
team. In a group effort, the
project will only succeed if
everyone contributes to the
end result. Do what's asked
of you and offer your assistance to those who may be
lagging behind.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20- Feb.
18): Follow the leader. You
may feel someone is manipulating a situation to their
benefit. However, if you
look at the bigger picture,
you'll find that you stand to
gain a great deal, as well.
Put petty jealousies aside
and play along.
PISCES (Feb. 19- Mar. 20):
Set the pace. Stepping up
your production will also
increase everyone else's as
they struggle to keep up
with you. A high energy
level will allow you
progress faster than usual
and could leave you with
some free time later in the
day.
IF JULY 9 IS YOUR
BIRTHDAY: When your sincerity and honesty are
turned up high, as they will
be during the next 6-8
weeks, the world could be
your oyster. Your talent
and worthiness are obvious
to everyone, so don't be surprised if you reach a meeting of the minds with a
romantic partner, or if an
interview leads to a job
offer. You could make your
dreams a reality this summer, but you might find
that those dreams require
dedication and a high degree of responsibility. In
late September, you're particularly astute about financial or business matters,
but don't make crucial decisions in November, when
you could turn a blind eye
to pitfalls.

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.
