GOVERNMENT
City administrator
ordinance moves
through 2nd reading
BY TRAVIS PEARSON
[email protected]
SHERIDAN — The Sheridan City
Council unanimously approved the
second reading of a charter ordinance to hire a city administrator at
the regular meeting Monday
evening.
‘It is evident in the
ordinance before you that the
strong mayor and council is
retained.’
Greg Von Krosigk
city attorney
The city again went out of its way
to emphasize it would maintain a
strong mayor-council form of government if the charter ordinance —
which requires a two-thirds majority vote — passes a third and final
reading on Oct. 5.
“It is evident in the ordinance
before you that the strong mayor
and council is retained,” city attorney Greg Von Krosigk said. “The
idea behind a city administrator is
to take you as the elected officials to
be the legislative body, to control the
policies, issue directives to essentially a chief of staff in the city
administrator, and for that city
administrator to implement the
policies and legislation that you
pass as elected officials.”
The ordinance allows the mayor
with a majority of City Council to
appoint an administrator. The
mayor and Council would also have
the authority to fire the chief of
staff.
The administrator would be
responsible for general operations
within the city, including budgeting
and employment of all city workers
other than the city attorney and
municipal court judges.
Under the proposed setup,
Sheridan residents would still elect
a mayor, who would possess veto
and line item veto power. The
administrator, according to the draft
charter ordinance, would hire all
department heads within the city
and could remove them at any time
with or without cause.

SHERIDAN — A handful of nearby residents continue to protest the planned unit
development located off Woodland Park
Road and Coffeen Avenue, but the Sheridan
City Council approved the second reading
of the zone change Monday evening.
Woodland Creek Estates LLC proposes 26
patio homes or duplex units and 25 singlefamily homes on approximately 14 acres.
Lot sizes range from approximately 3,400
square feet for the smallest patio home lot
to more than 14,000 square feet for the
largest single-family home site.

Wyoming pays out millions to subsidize hospitals
CHEYENNE (AP) — Wyoming has
burned through more than half of a fund it
created earlier this year to reimburse hospitals to cover the cost of treating uninsured patients after lawmakers rejecting
calls to expand the federal Medicaid program.
The Wyoming Department of Health says
the state has paid $1.3 million to 18 hospitals under the state’s new subsidy program
since July. The state allocated $2 million for
the program.
The fund was created after Gov. Matt
Mead failed to persuade lawmakers expand
Medicaid. The bill reimburses hospitals
with state funds to help offset the heavy
financial burden imposed on them by poor
and uninsured patients.

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — Senior
officials from the Obama administration will gather with Western governors in Colorado on Tuesday to
announce whether a declining bird
species that ranges across 11 states
needs federal protections.
State and federal officials committed
hundreds of millions of dollars in the
past several years to preserve areas of
sagebrush occupied by the greater
sage grouse.
That occurred even as energy companies and other industries placed
more pressure on the ground-dwelling
bird’s population by developing near
its breeding grounds.
A determination that the grouse
does not need protection under the
Endangered Species Act would
reverse a 2010 finding that it was
headed toward possible extinction.
That would avoid new restrictions
on oil and gas drilling, grazing and
other human activities in sage grouse
habitat. Jurisdiction over the bird
would remain with state wildlife agencies.
Greater sage grouse once numbered
in the millions across a vast sagebrush habitat that stretches from
California to North Dakota and south
to Utah and Colorado.
But disease and loss of habitat have
taken a heavy toll: Recent estimates
put the population at 200,000 to 500,000
birds, and federal officials say the
species has lost 56 percent of its historic range.
Wildlife advocates contend not
enough has been done to limit mining,
drilling and other industrial activities
near crucial sage grouse breeding
grounds.
Industry groups and state officials
have pushed hard to avoid a finding
that the birds are in need of protection.
The issue is of particular importance in Wyoming, which has about 40
percent of the grouse population and
is a major hub for production of oil,
natural gas, coal and other natural
resources.
The 2010 decision that the bird needed federal protection was never acted
upon because officials said other
species took priority. That’s precluded
this time around under a federal
court settlement between environmentalists and the Fish and Wildlife
Service that required the government
to make a decision by Sept. 30.

Officials: drivers in
fatal wrong-way
crash drunk
CASPER (AP) — The
Wyoming Highway Patrol
says both the woman driving the wrong way who died
and the woman she struck
were drunk at the time of
the crash on U.S. Highway
20-26 near Casper.
The Casper Star-Tribune
reports that 35-year-old
Robin Venters, of Glenrock,
died Friday after she
crashed into another car
while driving the wrong
way. The other driver, 55year-old Dodie MacDonald,
of Casper, was taken to
Wyoming Medical Center
with severe injuries.
Trooper Jason Sawdon
says MacDonald has been
charged with driving under
the influence and driving
with a suspended license.
He says it appears both
drivers were impaired
when they crashed.
Sawdon says there was no
sign of either car breaking
or swerving before the
crash, which can indicate
impairment because intoxicants can slow reactions.
Cheyenne man
gets 9-10 years in
prison for sex with
teenager
CHEYENNE (AP) — A
Cheyenne man who
acknowledged having an
ongoing sexual relationship
with a 14-year-old girl has
been sentenced to nine to 10
years in prison.
The Wyoming Tribune
Eagle reports Robert
Donaho, who was sentenced
Thursday, pleaded guilty to
four counts of seconddegree sexual abuse of a
minor.
He initially was charged
in October with seven
counts of the crime, but
three of those are set to be
dismissed as part of a plea
deal.
Donaho was a married 29year-old man when he was
having sex with the teen
from around midSeptember to early October.
He told the judge
Thursday, “In my life I’ve
made some bad mistakes,
but none as bad as this. I
made a very bad mistake.”
He also said he is not a
repeat offender.
U. of Wyoming
houses LGBT archive
CHEYENNE (AP) — The
University of Wyoming is
housing an archive dedicated to the history of the
Rocky Mountains’ lesbian,
gay, bisexual and transgender community.
The Wyoming Tribune
Eagle reports Out West in
the Rockies expands a program started by former
Wyoming resident Gregory
Hinton at the Autry
National Center in Los
Angeles.
Hinton says Out West has
become a national project
intended to highlight cultural and historical LGBT
contributions to the
American West.
UW’s American Heritage
Center interim director
Rick Ewig says the university already has collections
on student Matthew
Shepard. His beating death
20 years ago became a rallying cry in the gay rights
movement.
The archive will include
documents from UW’s
Department of Gender and
Women’s Studies, its oncampus club supporting the
LGBT community, and a
nonprofit organization.
Shoshone Rose
Casino begins $30M
expansion
CASPER (AP) — Officials
are moving forward with a
$30 million expansion to the
Shoshone Rose Casino near
Lander in an effort to draw
in more out-of-town visitors.
The Casper Star-Tribune
reports a groundbreaking
ceremony was held last
week for the new casino,
which will feature a 61room hotel and larger gaming area. An additional cafe
and outdoor dining will
also be included.
The expansion project,
which was approved last
December, is expected to be
finished by late summer or
early fall of 2016.
General Manager Robert
Pokorney says three local
contractors are working on
the site, and 50 new positions will be added to the
casino.

Taking business to the next level
Edge Exteriors joins
Wyo. Technology
Business Center
business incubator
BY MIKE DUNN
[email protected]
SHERIDAN — Randal and Matt Huckeba
have spent years perfecting their business,
and now, they feel it’s time to take it to the
next level.
Edge Exteriors is the newest addition to
the Wyoming Technology Business Center
business incubator located in Sheridan.
Using nearly 25 years of experience in the
siding business, the Huckebas have created
a product they think will give them a leg
up in the construction industry.
Over the last five years, Randal Huckeba
developed a roll machine that will take raw
coil and produce a metal siding panel to be
used for buildings. They say the machine
they’ve developed can consistently produce
a high-quality product at a fast rate.
“The industry is demanding trim,”
Huckeba said. “You look at any subdivision
and they all have painted wood trim, and
people like that aesthetic look. … There
weren’t metal products that were supplying
that look, so we figured let’s fill a need and
create the product ourselves.”
The Huckebas said they believe metal is
much more efficient than wood siding
because it needs less maintenance, lasts
longer and even looks better than wood.
Their product can be a more attractive
prospect for contractors as well as it is less
labor intensive to install and can generally
be completed quicker than traditional
wood siding.
“That’s what differentiates us from regular metal products,” Randal Huckeba said.
“We’ve created a much more user-friendly
product.”
They’ve already had success in the
Sheridan market with the product being
Randal Huckeba shows a mock-up of his company’s new siding product at Edge Exteriors Friday on Commercial Avenue in Sheridan. The siding is made
from sheet metal that is rolled through machines designed by Huckeba to add texture and structure. The material keeps its color and is more durable
than conventional siding material, Huckeba said. Edge Exteriors recently joined the Wyoming Technology Business Center incubator.
used on several building projects.
“That has always been our objective is
trying to make metal products that look
and replicate wood products, but perform
better,” Huckeba said.
But with its niche in the market, Edge

impact regionally. The Huckebas were

Sheridan area director, by a mutual

“They’ve been able to really develop their

plan to sell regionally first, looking to sell
the product around the state.

from Asheville, North Carolina.
I also packed the golf clubs and the family Scrabble board. For a week, we spoiled
the grandkids, hung out with family and

Palisade peaches. It was going to be two
weeks of end-of-summer fun and back to
Sheridan Aug 24.
On day eight, I got pneumonia; then the
diagnosis expanded to septic shock.
(“Shock” never a good term in a diagnosis, I’ve learned.) The diagnosis also
included respiratory failure and pulmonary abscesses. The whole magilla.
One day I’m scoring a rare Scrabble win
over my college student daughter; the
next, I’m in Montrose Memorial Hospital
ICU for 24 days with eight pumps at the
outset putting fluids into me. Two life-ordeath surgeries along the way. It was inexplicable, sudden and quite fierce. Our son
flew in from Asheville for support and
comfort; my older brother did as well
from Oklahoma City. I was eventually
transferred from ICU to a surgical room.
In all, a month in the hospital. (Am thinking I met the insurance deductible this
year.)
What a strange trip indeed.

• I am recovering, slowly, in Montrose
for now doing physical rehab. Muscle
atrophy is virtually absolute from being
in a bed mostly for three-plus weeks and a
serious illness. It feels like the entire muscle structure (and the golf swing) has
turned to goo.
• The Sheridan Press staff has stepped
up, as I knew they would. It’s a team of
professionals, front to back. It may sound
vain, yet in fact, they’ve done a terrific
job. Period.
• Susan was there all the way. From the
hurried trip to the ER and ICU (I don’t
have any recollections for a five-day period), to being at my side daily, to helping
me recover post-hospital discharge.
Twelve years ago, during my stem cell
transplant to address a rare blood cancer,
she would awake in the middle of the
night to infuse chemo, clean dual
Hickman port lines and was always my
advocate, as she has been again through
all this. It is a particular comfort knowing
she’s en route with encouragement and
newspapers to read. We were married in
Sheridan 38 years ago. Everything good
that has happened to me in my life — children, grandchildren, homes, career, recovering from awful health events — has a
genesis with Susan.
• I want to thank all of the Sheridan
people for emails, cards, phone calls, messages, prayers and thoughts of “light and
love” which were sent my way. They have
been welcomed and are part of the healing.
We’ll be back in Sheridan sometime
next week.

P
The Left has its pope in Francis
ope Francis has created political controversy, both inside and outside the
Catholic Church, by blaming capitalism for many of the problems of the
poor. We can no doubt expect more of the
same during his visit to the United States.
Pope Francis is part of a larger trend of
the rise of the political left among
Catholic intellectuals. He is, in a sense,
the culmination of that trend.
There has long been a
political left among
Catholics, as among
other Americans. Often
they were part of the
pragmatic left, as in the
many old Irish-run, big
city political machines
that dispensed benefits
to the poor in exchange
THOMAS
for their votes, as somewhat romantically
SOWELL
depicted in the movie
|
classic, “The Last
Hurrah.”
But there has also been a more ideological left. Where the Communists had their
official newspaper, “The Daily Worker,”
there was also “The Catholic Worker”
published by Dorothy Day.
A landmark in the evolution of the ideological left among Catholics was a publication in the 1980s, by the National
Conference of Catholic Bishops, titled
“Pastoral Letter on Catholic Social
Teaching and the U.S. Economy.”
Although this publication was said to be
based on Catholic teachings, one of its
principal contributors, Archbishop
Rembert Weakland, said: “I think we
should be up front and say that really we
took this from the Enlightenment era.”

The Sheridan Press welcomes letters to
the editor. The decision to print any submission is completely at the discretion of
the managing editor and publisher.
Letters must be signed and include an
address and telephone number – which
will not be published – for verification
purposes. Unsigned letters will not be
published, nor form letters, or letters that
we deem libelous, obscene or in bad taste.
Email delivery of letters into the Press
works best and have the best chance of
being published.
The specifics of the Bishops' Pastoral
Letter reflect far more of the secular
Enlightenment of the 18th century than of
Catholic traditions. Archbishop Weakland
admitted that such an Enlightenment figure as Thomas Paine “is now coming back
through a strange channel.”
Strange indeed. Paine rejected the teachings of “any church that I know of,”
including “the Roman church.” He said:
“My own mind is my own church.” Nor
was Paine unusual among the leading figures of the 18th century Enlightenment.
To base social or moral principles on the
philosophy of the 18th century
Enlightenment, and then call the result
“Catholic teachings” suggests something
like bait-and-switch advertising.
But, putting aside religious or philosophical questions, we have more than
two centuries of historical evidence of
what has actually happened as the ideas
of people like those Enlightenment figures were put into practice in the real
world — beginning with the French
Revolution and its disastrous aftermath.
Both the authors of the Bishops'
Pastoral Letter in the 1980s, and Pope
Francis today, blithely throw around the
phrase “the poor,” and blame poverty on
what other people are doing or not doing
to or for “the poor.”
Any serious look at the history of
human beings over the millennia shows
that the species began in poverty. It is not
poverty, but prosperity, that needs explaining. Poverty is automatic, but prosperity
requires many things — none of which is
equally distributed around the world or
even within a given society.
Geographic settings are radically different, both among nations and within
nations. So are demographic differences,
with some nations and groups having a
median age over 40 and others having a
median age under 20. This means that
some groups have several times as much
adult work experience as others. Cultures
are also radically different in many ways.
As distinguished economic historian
David S. Landes put it, “The world has
never been a level playing field.” But
which has a better track record of helping
the less fortunate — fighting for a bigger
slice of the economic pie, or producing a
bigger pie?
In 1900, only 3 percent of American
homes had electric lights but more than
99 percent had them before the end of the
century. Infant mortality rates were 165
per thousand in 1900 and 7 per thousand
by 1997. By 2001, most Americans living
below the official poverty line had central
air conditioning, a motor vehicle, cable
television with multiple TV sets, and
other amenities.
A scholar specializing in the study of
Latin America said that the official poverty level in the United States is the upper
middle class in Mexico. The much criticized market economy of the United
States has done far more for the poor than
the ideology of the left.
Pope Francis' own native Argentina was
once among the leading economies of the
world, before it was ruined by the kind of
ideological notions he is now promoting
around the world.

Robert Pattinson talks about
fame, photography in ‘Life’
BERLIN (AP) — The man relentlessly
pursued by photographers is stepping
into their shoes for his latest movie role.
British heartthrob Robert Pattinson
plays photographer Dennis Stock in
Anton Corbijn’s “Life” - which follows
the relationship between Stock and a
young James Dean (played by Dane
Dehaan) who is on the brink of superstardom.
The 29-year-old Pattinson talked to The
Associated Press about the transition
from celebrity to photographer and the
onset of fame after his roles in the
blockbuster “Harry Potter” and
“Twilight” film series. “Life” comes out
Dec. 4 in the U.S.
Q: “You spend your life in front of
the camera, how was it to be behind
the camera?”
PATTINSON: “It is interesting to feel
the power trip, especially when I was
shooting the scene on the red carpet,
when you are part of the massive throng
of people, and not only are you part of
the crowd and hidden but you have
something you can hide your own face
(with). You just see all the pressure is on
someone else. It is kind of nice, you feel
all secure in your little pack. It is very
different.”
Q: “Did it spark an interest in photography? Are you now a budding
photographer or were you interested
in photography before the film?”
PATTINSON: “I wasn’t really interested in photography before. And then I
started shooting on the same Leica that
Dennis Stock had, I think it’s the same
one I’m using in the movie. I took about
20 rolls of film, and then got them all
developed, and I was really into it before
I saw the photos. I really thought that
when someone tells you the fundamentals you think that it’s all going to come
out and be amazing. When they’re not
you like ‘I don’t understand why aren’t
they like genius photos?’ I kind of lost
interest afterwards.”
Q: “What is interesting is Dean’s
journey ... he is on the brink of fame
and he is considering the impact that
fame is going to have on his life. Was
there a moment like that with you?”
PATTINSON: “No. I guess Dean had, in
the movie anyway, a very strong idea of
how he wanted to be and what he felt it
was going to be. Whereas I didn’t have
any idea like what was going on at all.
The first period of getting famous was
incredibly strange to me and really fun
at the beginning because you didn’t
realise the consequences of anything.
You could say or do whatever you wanted and it just didn’t matter. I only really
realised what being famous was about
three years after I got famous, four years
afterwards.”

Award-winning poet CK Williams,
impassioned observer, dies
HOPEWELL, N.J. (AP) — C.K. Williams, a
Pulitzer Prize-winning poet known for his long,
conversational lines of verse that brought frequent comparisons to Walt Whitman, has died at
age 78.
Williams was an impassioned observer of war,
alienation and the cancer that eventually took his
life on Sunday at his home in Hopewell. His death
was confirmed Monday by author Joyce Carol
Oates, a close friend and former colleague at
Princeton University.
Williams won the poetry Pulitzer in 2000 for
“Repair” and the National Book Award for his 2003
work “The Singing.” He also was a translator of
Greek drama and an author of the memoir
“Misgivings.” A new Williams book, “Selected
Later Poems,” is scheduled to come out Tuesday.
According to Farrar, Straus & Giroux president
and publisher Jonathan Galassi, Williams had
completed another new poetry collection, “Falling
Ill,” just before his death. No publication date for
that has been set.
Charles Kenneth Williams was born in Newark,
briefly attended Bucknell University and graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, where
architect Louis Kahn was an early mentor. His
first collection, “Lies,” was published in 1969 and
quickly established him as a poet of powerful
range and language.
Over the next half-century, he would deplore violence and cruelty, wonder at the distances between
even the closest companions and unnerve himself
by looking into a mirror and seeing a face too
much like his father’s.

YMCA: Adapting programs to fit space
FROM 1
The city of Sheridan has already pledged
$4 million and YMCA Executive Director
Jay McGinnis said he expects to be able to
make other funding announcements in the
coming weeks.
The leadership team organizing the capital campaign hopes to have fundraising
completed by this time next summer so
that construction can start on the new
facility next fall.
Plans for the new aquatic center include
zero entry, a lazy river, slides, a separate
pool for lap lanes, new locker rooms and
more.
But the $16 million will do more than
build an indoor pool, which is expected to
cost approximately $11 million.
The capital campaign will also include
funding for the repurposing of space currently being utilized by the YMCA’s pools.
McGinnis has quoted one donor as saying
that the repurposed space is the real
“prize.”
Currently, the YMCA has approximately
40 children enrolled in preschool and 90
kids enrolled in after-school programs. The
waiting list for the after-school program
sits at around 200 children.
McGinnis said with the repurposed
space, the YMCA could at least double
capacity in both of those programs.
He added that the exact amount by which
those programs, and programs focused on
chronic diseases, could expand won’t be
clear until the YMCA brings in an architect
to design the space.
“Typically you build the building to fit
your programs,” McGinnis said. “We won’t
get to do that. But, that space where the
pools are now have high ceilings and are
large, so we’ll have options. But really, we’ll
be adapting our programs to fit the spaces.”
McGinnis added that the YMCA is under
no pressure to redesign the 20,000 square
feet because nothing will be done with it
until the new aquatic facility is up and running.
The renovation portion of the project is
expected to cost $3.5 million.
The final portion of the $16 million capital campaign is to increase the YMCA’s
endowment.

Clearmont Town Council
updates ordinances
BY ZACHARY WHITE
[email protected]
SHERIDAN — With some laws still on
the books dating back more than 100
years, Town Council members in
Clearmont are working toward more
concise ordinances.
“We had ordinances dating back to
1910,” Clearmont Mayor Chris Schock
said.
The ordinances, which numbered
more than 100, covered anything from
how long a person can park their horse
on the main drag to who can live
together.
“Things like if a man and a woman
were living together they had to be married,” Schock said. “Stuff like that we
don’t need anymore.”
Council members are on first reading
of the updated Clearmont Town Code,
which will leave approximately 33 ordinances to govern the town. The new
town code has to pass two more readings before it can go into effect.
Clearmont is also working on a water
study to find a new water source for the
town.
“The current wells have high sodium
levels,” Schock said.
The current wells are more than 40
years old and the town is working to
drill a new well. The new well is currently planned to be built on private
property, but the landowner’s approval
isn’t finalized.
Council members also accepted the
resignation of Councilwoman Brenda
Stark. Stark was elected to a four-year
term in the last election cycle that
would end in 2018.
Schock said he will be soliciting letters of interest, attached to town water
bills, to find an eligible candidate to fill
the position for the remainder of the
term.
Stark’s resignation comes as she and
her husband plan to move to California
In other business:
• Clearmont is in the process of deeding the tennis courts located by the
school to the school. Schock said the
town had thought the school district
already owned the space, but upon
inspection it was found that the courts
were owned by the town.
• There will be an informal meeting
on Sept. 29 with representatives from
the Wyoming Department of
Transportation to discuss a railroad
quiet zone in town.
• Schock said he will be attending the
State Loan and Investment Board meeting on Oct. 1 in Cheyenne. Clearmont
currently has an application for a SLIB
grant to repave Water Street in town. If
the project is approved Clearmont will
also replace a water line that runs
below Water Street.
Uninsured are
getting harder to sign up
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama
administration says it’s getting harder
to sign up those remaining uninsured
under the president’s health care law.
Health and Human Services Secretary
Sylvia Burwell on Tuesday gave three
reasons why the 2016 sign-up season
will be a bigger challenge: The most
eager customers have already signed
up; many of the remaining uninsured
are young adults who may not see the
value of coverage and those who
remain are juggling tight household
budgets.
Burwell says an estimated 10.5 million
Americans who remain uninsured are
eligible for subsidized private health
insurance through HealthCare.gov and
state-run insurance markets.
Open enrollment starts Nov. 1. The
administration is focusing on five
major metro areas: Dallas, Houston,
Northern New Jersey, Chicago and
Miami.
The law already has driven down the
uninsured rate.
Supporters of Medicaid expansion have
said it would provide health care coverage
to 17,600 people in Wyoming, bring more
than $100 million a year in new federal
funds and create hundreds of jobs.
Washington has pledged to cover 100 percent of expansion costs through 2016, dropping to 90 percent after that.
But lawmakers earlier rejected the effort.
Many Wyoming lawmakers have said they
distrust federal promises to continue funding and don’t like the notion of adding to
the federal deficit by accepting the money.
Medicaid expansion is also a key element
of President Barack Obama’s health care
law, which is roundly opposed by
Republicans.
The payments range from just under
$2,000 for the Crook County Memorial
Hospital up to over $282,000 for the
Wyoming Medical Center in Casper. The
state payments are small compared to the
$21 million in charity care for treatment of
uninsured people that state records show
26 hospitals around the state logged in
2013.
Laura J. Hurst, an official in Health
Department’s Public Health Division, said
her office is still accepting applications
from Wyoming hospitals through next
June for remaining funding under the $2million program.
A parallel $1-million program, administered through the Wyoming State Auditor’s
Office, targets the state’s smallest hospitals — those with 25 or fewer beds. To qualify, hospitals had to show their cash
reserves fell below the amount needed to
cover 100 days of operation at some point
during the last half of 2014.
Eric Boley, president of the Wyoming
Hospital Association, said Monday the
new state programs have helped hospitals
around the state. “For a few of them —
especially my smaller hospitals — any of
the money that they can use to help offset
that uncompensated care has been beneficial,” he said.
Boley said he understands that all the
money has been paid out of the program
under the Auditor’s Office.
The hospital association as well as a
coalition of business and industry groups
had lobbied in support of Mead’s call for
Medicaid expansion.
Mead, a Republican, had opposed expansion in Wyoming for most of his first term.
But this year, at the start of his second
term, he urged lawmakers to approve an
expansion bill, saying in his state of the
state address that Wyoming could no
longer afford to forego federal funds. He
ultimately allowed the subsidy bill to take
effect without his signature.
David Bush, spokesman for the governor,
said Monday that Mead remains interested
in seeing the state expand the Medicaid
program but hasn’t decided whether he
will ask the Legislature to act on it in the
2016 legislative session.
Sen. Charles Scott, R-Casper, chairs the
Senate Labor, Health and Social Services
Committee and is a longtime opponent of
Medicaid expansion. He said Monday he
doesn’t expect the Legislature will continue the hospital funding effort and likely
won’t expand Medicaid.
“I think, and I think a majority of our
fellow legislators think education, and
water development and transportation, are
more important than this,” Scott said. He
said lawmakers have concerns about the
continued viability of some of the smaller
hospitals in the state.

ADMIN: Bid awarded for cemetery facility
FROM 1
Sheridan budgeted $160,000 for an administrator’s salary in fiscal year 2015-16.
Von Krosigk told the Council the ordinance
was put together by studying other cities in
Wyoming that use a strong mayor-council
form of government but utilize a city administrator, such as Cody, Gillette, Jackson,
Lovell, Powell and Kemmerer, among others.
A charter ordinance is necessary in this
case because the city would be modifying the
statutory duties of the mayor. Sheridan mayors have previously hired and fired department heads.
Councilors spoke in favor of the proposal,
pointing out a city administrator would be a
trained professional adept at running the
day-to-day operations of the city.
In other business:
• Councilors approved the construction of
a new office and shop facility at the Sheridan
Municipal Cemetery for approximately
$716,000 and awarded the bid to Dick
Anderson Construction, a Wyoming and
Montana firm.
Sheridan received about $2.3 million from
the state of Wyoming in 2014 for specific capital improvement projects, $400,000 of which
went to the cemetery. The remaining funds
will come from one-cent and supplemental
money.
Frenemies: Tense undercurrents
for US-China state dinner
WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s never good
when tension is on the dinner menu.
When Chinese President Xi Jinping and
wife Peng Liyuan visit Washington later this
week, President Barack Obama and his wife,
Michelle, face the daunting task of trying to
throw a warm and inviting dinner party for
guests of honor accused of cyberspying on
the U.S., trampling human rights and engaging in assertive military tactics.
China, in turn, is miffed at the U.S. for
what it says are groundless accusations
about hacking, and wants the U.S.
to butt out of territorial disputes
in the South China Sea. Not to
mention the Old Faithful of disputes, Taiwan.
Where will all this leave the few
hundred guests selected to attend
Friday night’s lavish state dinner
Jinping
honoring the Chinese president?
Most likely still thrilled to be
there, geopolitics be damned.
“Who wouldn’t want to be in the room?”
says Cosmopolitan editor-in-chief Joanna
Coles, who attended a 2014 state dinner for
French President Francois Hollande. “Diehard cool people are excited to be there. No
one is too cool to be in the room with the
head of China and the head of the U.S.”
So, guests will be happy to be there. But
also keenly aware of the dining-with-frenemies dynamic of an event where all sides
will be working to be on their best behavior.
“It’s a delicate dance, and it always has
been,” says Anita McBride, who served as
chief of staff to first lady Laura Bush.
She said the Chinese will be looking for a
“sign that you are not offending them” while
Americans will be looking for a sign that
Obama is “standing up for us.”
Under the best of diplomatic circumstances, the Chinese can be quick to perceive
a slight.
During the last state visit for China, in
2011, the pianist Lang Lang’s decision to play
a song from the soundtrack of a 1956 film
about the Korean War was widely seen by the
Chinese as a snub directed at the American
hosts, although the Chinese-born virtuoso
himself said that was nonsense.
The escalating U.S.-China tensions of
recent months will add extra layers of drama
to what already would have been a sensitive
event.
Will Obama and Xi be photographed toasting one another? Probably.
Will the promised blunt talk over policy differences during the leaders’ daytime meetings carry over to their dinner-table conversation? Probably not.
Will invited guests mix it up over U.S.China policy disputes even if the host and
guest of honor don’t? We may never know.
And what about critics who don’t make the
dinner list? Will their protests register with
those who do? It’s happened before.
In 2006, a screaming protester interrupted
the White House welcoming ceremony for
China’s Hu Jintao and called on President
George W. Bush to stop Hu from persecuting
the Falun Gong religious movement. The
tirade went on for several minutes before the
woman was removed, as Bush whispered to
Hu: “You’re OK.” Adding to the tension, a
White House announcer at the same ceremony made the cringe-worthy gaffe of referring
to China as the “Republic of China,” the formal name of Taiwan.
When it comes time for Friday’s dinner
toasts, Obama will be in the awkward position of raising a glass in grand fashion with
the leader of a country he’s threatening to
punish for industrial espionage and faulting
for its crackdown on activists.
That’s causing palpitations among the president’s critics, especially the Republicans
hoping to succeed him in the White House.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio says the visit
should have been bumped down to a working
sessions sans pomp and pageantry. Celebrity
businessman Donald Trump says he
would’ve offered Xi a Big Mac — doublesized, at least. Before he dropped out,
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker said Obama
should have canceled the visit outright.
White House officials, for their part, defend
the dinner as an important opportunity to
improve relations between two world powers.
They stress that for all their many differences, China and the U.S. have successfully
worked together on plenty of other matters,
including climate change, North Korea’s
nuclear threat and the Iran-nuclear deal.
Obama’s challenge, says McBride, will be to
“convey toughness with graciousness.”
As for the White House party planners,
their focus remains largely the same regardless of who’s the guest of honor: sticking to
the established state-dinner framework and
executing it with perfection.
“There are always four sets of eyes that
look at all the logistics,” says Capricia
Marshall, a former Obama protocol chief
and social secretary in the Clinton administration.
Marshall expressed confidence the Obama
team would ensure “there are no protocol
slip-ups.” She added, though, that when “oopsidoodles” do occur, “you try to keep those
behind the curtain.”
Former Obama social secretary Desiree
Rogers said that with everyone focused on
showing Xi a good time, “It’s pretty easy to
get somebody to smile if you’re doing everything that is their favorite.”
And even if not, guests will come away
knowing they were part of something historic.
“That’s what’s fun about being at the state
dinner,” says Coles, “you want to be in the
room when there is something happening.”

Ad featuring kids, mushroom
cloud slams Bennet for Iran vote
WASHINGTON (AP) — A conservative group is airing an ad showing
kids counting down to a mushroom
cloud to slam Democratic Sen. Michael
Bennet of Colorado over the Iran
nuclear deal.
The ad by the group Advancing
Colorado shows children counting
down from 10 in different languages,
then a huge explosion and billowing
cloud. Over charred and smoking rubble it claims that Bennet is “jeopardizing our safety” by backing the deal.
The ad offers a taste of how the GOP
may seek to use the Iran issue politically after Senate Democrats including
Bennet blocked Republican attempts to
unravel the deal. Bennet is up for reelection next year in a competitive
state, though Republicans don’t yet
have a candidate against him. He is
the most vulnerable Senate Democrat
this cycle, but in 2018 a number of
potentially vulnerable Democrats will
be defending their seats and
Republicans will likely try to make
them pay a price for supporting the
agreement.
The accord backed by the Obama
administration and negotiated with
Iran and five world powers aims to
curb Iran’s nuclear program in
exchange for billions in relief from
economic sanctions. But Republicans
say it will serve only to empower Iran.
The incendiary ad is reminiscent of
the famous “Daisy ad” that President
Lyndon Johnson used against
Republican opponent Barry Goldwater
in 1964. Johnson’s ad showed a little
girl picking daisy petals, then a billowing mushroom cloud. Johnson was trying to portray Goldwater as a warmonger over Vietnam.
Jonathan Lockwood, executive director of Advancing Colorado, said the
in-your-face approach was appropriate
to tell voters about Bennet’s role in a
dangerous agreement. “The consequences of this deal are going to be
even more shocking than this ad,” said
Lockwood.
But a spokesman for Colorado
Democrats called the ad a “smear” and
said Bennet is working to improve the
Iran deal and has sought to make
Coloradans safer.
“With Washington Republicans lacking an opponent in the Colorado
Senate race, it comes as no surprise
that a secretly funded group with ties
to the billionaire Koch brothers is out
with a deeply offensive, fear-mongering attack against Sen. Bennet,” said
Andrew Zucker, senior communications adviser at the Colorado
Democratic Party.
Lockwood, who formerly ran the
conservative billionaire Koch brothers’ Colorado young voter outreach
organization, said Advancing
Colorado is not funded by the Koch
brothers, though he declined to disclose donors. He said the ad buy was
six figures, including broadcast stations in Denver starting Tuesday, and
online and digital. Democrats said the
broadcast portion is only $46,000,
which Lockwood didn’t dispute, making it a fairly small buy.
Life sentence upheld for man who stabbed prison employee
RAWLINS (AP) — A Carbon County
judge is upholding a life sentence for a
man who stabbed a prison employee
and another inmate after killing a
deputy in 1995.
The Rawlins Times reports 37-yearold John Michael Sides is serving consecutive life sentences for the murder
of Fremont County Deputy Steve
Crerar and attempted murder of
employee Francis Foster.
District Court Judge Wade Waldrip
also upheld his sentence of three to
five years in prison for stabbing
inmate Charles Birr.
Defense attorney Kirk Morgan
argued for parole eligibility after Sides
serves between one and 25 years, noting he was 17 years old when he was
sent to prison.
Petraeus apologizes for giving classified info to mistress
WASHINGTON (AP) — Retired
Army Gen. David Petraeus apologized to Congress on Tuesday for
sharing classified information
with his biographer and mistress,
Paula Broadwell. It was his first
public testimony before lawmakers since resigning as CIA director.
Petraeus appeared before the
Senate Armed Services
Committee, offering his recommendations for how the U.S.
should address what he called a
“revolutionary upheaval that is
unparalleled in its modern history.”
He said the progress achieved so
far in fighting Islamic State militants in Iraq has been “inadequate” and suggested the U.S.
increase support to Iraqi security
forces and Sunni tribal and
Kurdish fighters. In Syria, he recommended the U.S. take a harder
stance against President Bashar
Assad. He supported setting up
enclaves protected by coalition
airpower where moderate Sunnis
could be supported, civilians
could find refuge and additional
forces could be trained. Later, he
added that while it might not be
necessary, he was “not at all
opposed to seeing U.S. troops on
the ground in an enclave” in an
advise and assist role.
“The Middle East is not part of
the world that plays by Las Vegas
rules: What happens in the
Middle East is not going to stay in
the Middle East,” he warned.
Petraeus began his testimony,
however, with an extraordinary
apology for events stemming from
his personal life. He was director
of the CIA from September 2011
to November 2012, when he
resigned after acknowledging an
affair with Broadwell, a married
U.S. Army reserve officer who
met Petraeus while researching a
book about his wartime leadership in Iraq and Afghanistan.
“Four years ago, I made a serious mistake — one that brought
discredit on me and pain to those
closest to me,” Petraeus said. “It
was a violation of the trust placed
in me and a breach of the values
to which I had been committed
throughout my life.”
“There is nothing I can do to
undo what I did. I can only say
again how sorry I am to those I let
down and then strive to go forward with a greater sense of
humility and purpose, and with
gratitude to those who stood with
me during a very difficult chapter
in my life.”
The retired four-star general
was sentenced to two years of
probation and fined $100,000 for
unauthorized removal and reten-
tion of classified information he
shared with Broadwell. Members
of the committee welcomed
Petraeus back to the congressional witness chair, praised his governmental service, did not mention the incident and limited their
questions to Iraq, Syria and Iran.
Before becoming CIA director,
Petraeus commanded U.S. and
coalition forces in Iraq and
Afghanistan. On Iraq, Petraeus
told the lawmakers that while
there have been significant
accomplishments in the fight
against IS, “We are not where we
should be at this point.”
In addition to increasing support for local fighters, he suggested embedding U.S. advisers down
to the brigade headquarters level
for Iraqi fighting forces; exploring
the use of air controllers with
select Iraqi units to coordinate
coalition airstrikes; and examin-
ing whether U.S. rules of military
engagement for precision
airstrikes are too restrictive.
Petraeus said, however, that the
U.S. should not allow its forces to
take over Iraqi units. “I would
not, for example, embed U.S. personnel at the Iraqi battalion level,
nor would I support clearance
operations before a viable force is
available,” he said.
He called Syria a “geopolitical
Chernobyl — spewing instability
and extremism over the region
and the rest of the world.”
“Like a nuclear disaster, the fallout from the meltdown of Syria
threatens to be with us for
decades, and the longer it is permitted to continue, the more
severe the damage will be.”
He said the U.S. is no closer
today to having a moderate Sunni
Arab ground force than a year
ago.

SC rodeo
has mixed
weekend at
Chadron State
FROM STAFF REPORTS
MIKE PRUDEN | THE SHERIDAN PRESS
Serving up the competition
Julia Fenn leaps for a serve during Friday’s match with Powell at Sheridan High School. Fenn will continue her chase for a record fourth state title at the conference tournament this weekend in Casper.
SHERIDAN — The Sheridan
College rodeo team had mixed
results over the weekend at the
Chadron State College rodeo in
Chadron, Nebraska.
The Sheridan women placed
fourth at the rodeo with 190
points.
Callie Robinson made it to
the short round in both breakaway roping and barrel racing.
Robinson split fourth and
fifth with a 2.5-second score in
breakaway roping’s long go.
Her 4.0-second short round
earned her third place and put
her second in the average for a
toal of 115 points. In barrel racing, Robinson finished with a
time of 17.05 seconds but hit a
barrel in the short round.
Calby Hanson scored a 7.6 in
goat tying to split fifth and
sixth and earn a trip to the
short round. She matched her
long-go time with another 7.6second run, earning her a
fourth-place finish in the short
round and fourth in the average.
The Lady Generals competed
well and had a few other athletes just miss out on making
the short round.
Breanna Reimler missed the
short round in breakaway roping by a tenth of a second, and
Savanna Bolich and Kaylee
Reimler just missed the short
round in breakaway, as well.
The Sheridan men couldn’t
string together as many successful rides over the weekend,
but there were a couple bright
spots for head coach Marc
Gilkerson.

Jets trying to stay
grounded after 20-7
win at Indianapolis
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Todd Bowles is keeping
the Jets grounded.
Sure, they’re off to their first 2-0 start since 2011,
the defense forced five more turnovers Monday night
against Andrew Luck and, of course, the New York
fans are already revving up for more after a 20-7 win
at Indianapolis. Bowles knows there’s still a lot of
work to be done.
“It’s a good win, but it’s only win No. 2,” the firstyear Jets coach said after a 20-7 victory at
Indianapolis. “We’re not where we want to be, but
we’re on the way.”
The defense might not be able to get much better.
New York already has five takeaways in the first
two games and has scored 31 points off those miscues after producing only 20 points all of last season.
The reason is that they’ve been able to relentlessly
pressure quarterbacks and lock down outside
receivers with their two veteran cornerbacks,
Darrelle Revis and Antonio Cromartie, who played
Monday on a sore knee.
But there was plenty to critique about the Jets’
offense, which struggled to seal the game until the
closing minutes.
Ryan Fitzpatrick was 22 of 34 for 244 yards with
two touchdowns and one interception in his first win
at Lucas Oil Stadium, Brandon Marshall caught
seven passes for 101 yards and one TD and Eric
Decker caught eight passes for 97 yards and a TD
before leaving with a knee injury.
“It wasn’t a pretty win, but we’ll take it,” Marshall
said. “We’ve got a long way to go.”
So do the Colts who failed to score in the first half
for the second straight week — something they last
did in consecutive games in 1997.
Indy is 0-2 for second consecutive season, but this
time seems a lot different. After going 21 of 37 for 250
yards with one touchdown and three interceptions,
Luck has now thrown five picks in the first two
weeks. He also lost a fumble to the Jets.

Marte’s 4 hits lead Pirates past Rockies 9-3
DENVER (AP) — Jordy
Mercer broke out of a
slump and helped the
Pittsburgh Pirates edge
closer to another playoff
berth.
Mercer had four hits and
drove in two runs, Starling
Marte homered among his
four hits and came within a
triple of the cycle, and
Pittsburgh beat the
Colorado Rockies 9-3 on
Monday night.
Aramis Ramirez also
went deep for the Pirates,
who reduced their magic
number for clinching a
postseason berth to two. A
win Tuesday and a San
Francisco loss would clinch
at least a wild card for the
third consecutive year.
Pittsburgh became the
second team to reach 90
wins this season with
Monday’s victory. Only the
division-rival Cardinals
have more victories.
“It’s an organizational
win,” manager Clint Hurdle
said.
Mercer spent more than a
month on the disabled list
with a sprained left MCL
and has struggled since
returning Aug. 23.
He was hitting .222 in 23
games before tying his
career high in hits against
the Rockies.
He hit doubles in the second and fourth innings to
drive in Francisco Cervelli,
who had three hits, as the
Pirates built a 5-0 lead on
Jon Gray (0-2).
“I’ve had struggles with it
being the first time on the
DL,” Mercer said. “I took
four and a half, five weeks
off. I wanted to get results
right away but it takes
time.”
Mercer singled and scored
in the sixth and added
another single in the ninth.
“He’s been doing a better
job of managing his at-bats
for a while,” Hurdle said of
Mercer. “He’s getting back
up to speed and those first
two swings were big for us.”
Marte didn’t waste any
time getting going against
Gray. He homered in
Pittsburgh’s two-run first,
singled in the fourth and
doubled off the top of the
wall in the sixth. He led off
the ninth with a single to
center.
Gray allowed nine of
Pittsburgh’s 15 hits. The
rookie right-hander is still
searching for his first
major league win after nine
starts.
“Early on he struggled to
get the ball down,” Rockies
manager Walt Weiss. “That
first inning, it’s always an
inning of vulnerability.”
Pittsburgh starter A.J.
Burnett cruised through
the first four innings before
an error on a potential double-play ball in the fifth preceded Tom Murphy’s threerun homer that made it 5-3.
Burnett (9-5) then hit a
batter and walked two more
to load the bases before
striking out Nolan Arenado
to end the inning.
“He dealt up until the
fifth,” Hurdle said. “We
weren’t able to put the double-play ball away and
tacked on 18 more pitches. I
think the fatigue of the
inning took something
away from him. He threw 30
pitches that inning.”
The Rockies again loaded
the bases against Burnett
in the sixth inning but
Antonio Bastardo came on
and got DJ LeMahieu to
line out to second.
Ramirez added an RBI
single during Pittsburgh’s
three-run ninth.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Pirates: The Pirates
placed INF Jung Ho Kang
on the 60-day DL. Kang
underwent surgery
Thursday night to repair a
broken left leg and torn
knee ligament sustained on
a takeout slide at second
base by Chris Coghlan of
the Chicago Cubs.
Rockies: LHP Jorge De La
Rosa (right Achilles’ tendinitis) was scratched from
his start Wednesday. RHP
Christian Bergman will
take his spot in the rotation. ... LHP Yohan Flande
is progressing and may not
miss his scheduled start
Friday. Flande left
Saturday’s game in the
fourth inning after taking a
line drive off his left knee.
UP NEXT
Pirates: LHP J.A. Happ (52) will try to continue his
mastery over Colorado. He
is 2-0 with a 1.86 ERA in five
games — four starts —
against the Rockies.
Rockies: LHP Chris Rusin
(5-8) has pitched complete
games in two of his last
three Coors Field starts. He
shut out San Diego on Aug.
16 and beat San Francisco
11-3 on Sept. 3.

WHAT TO DO ABOUT
SMOKE-FILLED SKIES
BY MICHAEL ROIZEN,
M.D., AND MEHMET OZ,
M.D.
Everyone from the Jerry
Garcia Band to Eartha Kitt
has recorded the Jerome
Kern song "Smoke Gets in
Your Eyes," and the classic
lyrics aptly describe how
teary a fiery end to a
romance can make you. But
folks from the West and
Southwest to the Midwest
and beyond are dealing with
eye irritation, breathing difficulty and asthma from rampant wildfires that've burned
more than 7.5 million acres
so far this year.
The skies in many locales
have turned eerily gray as
smoke and particulate matter
(carbon monoxide, carbon
dioxide and soot) sail eastward on the jet stream.
Anybody who has heart disease or lung problems (COPD,
asthma, chronic bronchitis,
severe allergies, cystic fibrosis, etc.) should stay indoors
with windows closed. And
everyone should avoid strenuous outdoor activity when
it's visibly smoky or if the
air quality index is rated as
"unhealthy."
This is also a good time to
make sure you drink plenty
of water and stay hydrated so
that you produce enough
phlegm to cough easily and
expel any particulate matter
you might inhale. If you have
breathing problems, check in
with your doc to make sure
you're following your optimal
treatment plan. You want to
make sure you have strong
filter masks (and practice
how to use them) and an
effective long-acting bronchodilator plus a short-acting
beta agonist or rescue
inhaler, such as albuterol.
Then, as the Southern jam
band Mofro sings, "Well, the
sky is ashy white and the
fields are burning bright ...
pray for rain."

WOMAN IN TOXIC RELATIONSHIP WILL NEED
COUSIN'S SUPPORT
DEAR ABBY: I have a very
close cousin (and friend) who
is in a toxic relationship with
a man who breaks up with
her repeatedly, manipulates
and abuses her emotionally,
and probably cheats. It has
made me sad to see her go
through the same pattern
with him for so many years.
They were supposed to be
married soon, but are having
the same problems again.
She's unsure what steps to
take, even though family and
friends are advising her
against marrying him. I don't
support the idea either, but I
don't want to create a rift
with my cousin.
If the wedding takes place,
can I decline to be part of the
wedding party? Is there anything I can do to make her
"see the light"? It's hard to
watch a good person go
through this. I know it's her
choice, but it's wearing on
our relationship as well. -CONCERNED COUSIN IN
WYOMING
DEAR COUSIN: Have you
been asked to be in the wedding party? If it hasn't happened yet, you may be putting the cart before the horse.
Because you haven't been
able to get your cousin to see
the light before this, I doubt
anything you can say will
accomplish it now because
love is blind and often deaf.
This doesn't mean you
shouldn't tell her you think
she deserves better than what
she's getting, and that it
pains you to see her hurt the
way she has been. However,
at the same time, let her
know that whatever she
decides, you love and support
her and will be there for her,
because if he actually marries her -- which he may not -she's going to need it.
DEAR ABBY: I recently
started a new job, and the
past three months have been
wonderful! One co-worker in
particular has contributed to
that. He's a tall, handsome
man with a great personality.
We get along wonderfully,
socialize outside of work,
and we flirt ... a lot. We have
briefly talked about being
friends with benefits, but I'm
not sure how I feel about it. I
have never been FWB with
anyone before, and I am very
nervous about the possible
downside.
I am very attracted to this
co-worker, but I also consider
him a great friend who could
potentially someday be even
more than a friend. I am
scared that being FWBs
would ruin our friendship
and any possible future we
may have. Should I accept
being an FWB and enjoy it
while it lasts, or decline and
explain to him why? -FRIENDS WITHOUT BENEFITS IN VIRGINIA
DEAR FRIENDS: If I were
you, I'd enjoy the flirtation
for as long as it lasts and
pass on being his FWB.
While "friends with benefits" may seem enticing, what
it really stands for is "sex
without commitment or
responsibility," and in the
majority of instances it leads
to -- nothing. Couple that
with the fact that if you do,
and someone else attracts his
attention, you will not only
have to cope with hurt feelings, but also the embarrassment of still having to work
with him. So start thinking
with your head, and don't do
anything you might later
regret.
TO MY JEWISH READERS: Tonight at sundown,
Yom Kippur, the holiest day
of the Jewish calendar,
begins. It's a day of fasting,
reflection, prayer and repentance. To all of you, may
your fast be an easy one.

Hints from Heloise
Help Fund New Glasses
Dear Heloise: You have
been so kind to feature
NEW EYES FOR THE
NEEDY in the past. We are
currently collecting more
items. It would be wonderful if you could mention us
again. -- Sally Golding, volunteer manager
Of course! Readers, please
donate eyeglasses, hearing
aids, jewelry, watches and
small giftware to this organization. They clean, fix up
and sell the items in the Resale Shop, and 100 percent
of the proceeds are used to
buy new prescription
glasses for those who can't
afford them. Send donations
to:
New Eyes for the Needy
549 Millburn Ave.
Short Hills, NJ 07078
If you are in New Jersey,
stop by the Resale Shop boutique and do some shopping!
Go online to www.neweyes.org for more information. -- Heloise
P.S.: Slip a buck or two in
the package -- cash is ALWAYS welcome! A big
Heloise Hug to all the volunteers, too!
MAIL CONCERN
Dear Heloise: What happens to my mail when I die?
I am 82, live alone and have
no next of kin living nearby.
The post office says my mail
is returned to sender.
"Stamped 'deceased'?" I
asked. "Probably" was the
answer. What about magazine subscriptions? "The
same," I was told. Perhaps
you can get a more official
answer. -- John in Kerrville,
Texas
John, the official answer
is, it SHOULD be returned
or forwarded at some point.
The U.S. Postal Service
must officially be notified of
a person's death. An executor can file a request with
the Postal Service to redirect the mail to them (or a
relative). The same person
also can go to the Direct
Marketing Association website to fill out the "Register
the Deceased" information
at www.dmachoice.org.
Do you have a lawyer or
close friend you can ask to
handle this? I'm sure there
is someone who will be
more than happy to help. -Heloise
P.S.: I hope it's a loooong
time before this action is
needed.
UTENSIL HOLDER
Dear Heloise: I read your
column in The (Colorado
Springs, Colo.) Gazette. The
flatware trays sold in stores
hold so little for the space
they take up.
For years, I have kept
cardboard boxes from 2
Bridge
COULD HE REALLY
HOLD THAT CARD?
Rebecca West, a British
journalist who died in 1983,
defined journalism as an
ability to meet the challenge
of filling the space.
Too true; but sometimes
bridge requires you to judge
the ability of your opponents. If they are near-beginners, you probably will
not have to be as tough as
when they are capable.
However, most of the time,
you should try to find the
best bids and plays, regardless of the opposition's expertise.
In this deal, for example,
take the West hand. You
open one spade, but the opponents push into four
hearts. You lead the spade
king. Partner overtakes it
with his ace and returns the
spade two, declarer following both times. What would
you do next?
South is strong enough for
a three-heart bid on the first
round, which in the balancing seat is intermediate,
showing some 14-16 points.
LOOKING FOR an
honest energetic
Automotive Technician
to join our team. ASE
certification preferred.
Willing to train. Send
resume to
Welty's Auto Service,
Inc. 3 Lane's Lane,

pounds of processed cheese.
Eight boxes fit perfectly the
depth and length of our
drawers and hold a lot, separating knives, forks,
spoons and serving spoons
nicely. I label each with the
date and put it in a drawer.
When we open a new package, I throw away the oldest
one. With a family of seven,
we routinely swap out a
new, clean box for an older
one. -- Kathryn Mesward,
Colorado Springs, Colo.
NO SPILL
Dear Heloise: I like to
keep a glass of water on my
bedside table, but every
now and then it would tip
over when I fumbled for it
in the dark.
Our toddler granddaughter forgot her plastic sippy
cup after a visit, which gave
me an idea. Its lid and nospill spout make it a perfect
bedside water container.
Even if it tips over, nothing
spills out. -- Grandma in
Kentucky
Send a money-saving or
timesaving hint to Heloise,
P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, or you
can fax it to 1-210-HELOISE
or email it to
[email protected]. I

hints received in my column.

However, most players
would want a stronger suit.
You should realize that declarer, if paying any attention, knows that
you have the
heart king. Your
partner did not
respond to your
one-spade opening and has already produced
four points in the
spade ace.
So, a skillful
South will play to
drop your heart
king and get
lucky. You have
just one chance.

ace (necessary if
declarer had a

Mary Kay Place was born in
Tulsa, Okla., on this date in
1947. This birthday gal won
a 1977 Emmy for her role as
Loretta Haggers on "Mary

She played Adaleen Grant

On the big screen, Place's

"Being John Malkovich."
ARIES (March 21-April

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):
Your good taste and financial expertise are temporarily on hold. Wait until the

in it. Plug the holes where
your money could easily
seep away.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Find an escape
route so you're not cornered
by the past. Patterns that
served you once are no
longer useful. Someone
might be put off by your extreme thriftiness or ingrained habits.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): Know your limitations.
Other people may be tolerant and go along with your
efforts to appear as a sharp
business person. You'll
make the most money by
doing what you're already
good at doing.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18): There's more to you
than meets the eye. You're
more popular than usual at
the moment and may garner applause or a muchneeded pat on the back.
New-found friends, however, might not really have
your best interests at heart.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20): Someone is too self-conscious or bashful to break
the ice. It's up to you to extend a warm greeting and
put that person at ease.
There may be an unsuspected lack of funds that interferes with your plans.
IF SEPTEMBER 23 IS
YOUR BIRTHDAY: You
may have your sights set on
making your future more
secure and comfortable between now and early November. Your business
sense is honed to a fine edge
and you'll demonstrate
sharpened reactions where
career or money making
projects are concerned. You
can make your romantic
dreams come true, as well,
because you have the desire
and charisma to make longterm commitments. Next
February and March, your
public persona is again enhanced, so that's another excellent time to forge ahead
with your plans.

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.

FLAGS: Indy called for 11 penalties in game
FROM B1
And fans, who were so eager to see Robert
Mathis return and Jeff Saturday inducted
into the team’s ring of honor, booed heartily
as the problems mounted.
Fitzpatrick’s 6-yard TD pass to Decker and
a 35-yard field goal from Nick Folks made it
10-0 at halftime.
Luck finally answered with a 26-yard
touchdown pass to Donte Moncrief early in
the fourth quarter, but Fitzpatrick threw a
15-yard TD pass to Marshall and Folk made a
46-yard field goal to close out the scoring.
Here are some other takeaways from
Monday’s game:
THE PENAL CODE: When the Jets’ defense
wasn’t forcing miscues, the Colts were their
own worst enemy. They were called for 11
penalties and the steady stream seemed to
continually bring back big plays and stall
drives. “I don’t think we’re a perfect, welloiled machine right now. You’re never that in
the second week of the season,” Luck said.
REVIS RULES: Revis has long been a thorn
in the side of the Colts, and he was at it
again Monday. The veteran cornerback
recovered two fumbles including one in his
own end zone to stop one Indy drive and
picked off Luck once, too.
INJURY WATCH: Decker is expected to
have an MRI on his injured knee Tuesday.
But the injuries could be more problematic
for Indy.
The Colts started the game without cornerbacks Greg Toler (neck) and Darius Butler
(hip) and finished the game without their top
cornerback Vontae Davis (concussion). Tight
end Dwayne Allen also did not return after
injuring his ankle.
RUNNING IN PLACE: Both teams had trouble running. Chris Ivory led the Jets with 14
carries for 57 yards, but New York averaged
just 3.7 yards on 27 carries against a defense
that struggled to stop the Bills last week.
Gore, meanwhile, started fast but finished
with 15 carries for 57 yards and the fumble.
Indy wound up with 24 carries for 93 yards.
Baylor assistant on sideline
during Oklahoma game vs. Tulsa
(AP) — Baylor coach Art Briles said
Monday he was embarrassed to find
out that one of his assistant coaches
was on the sideline during an
Oklahoma home game, the second
potential NCAA rules violation by his
staff to be disclosed in as many weeks.
Briles said he wasn’t aware beforehand that passing game coordinator
Jeff Lebby, who is also his son-in-law,
was going to be at the Sooners’ game
against Tulsa.
“If I had been aware, that situation
would have never happened,” Briles
said during his weekly news conference on the Waco campus. “It’s embarrassing to me, quite honestly.”
When he found out, Briles said he
called Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops
after Saturday’s game and apologized.
Stoops alluded to an NCAA rule that
prohibits off-campus, in-person scouting of future opponents.
“That seems to be — that’s a pretty
fundamental rule. That’s not allowed,
so I don’t know what he was doing
here,” Stoops said in Norman,
Oklahoma. “It’s something that needs
to be reported and needs to be dealt
with through the Big 12 office and our
people. I’m sure they will. I’ve got a
team to coach. They’ll handle those
matters, I’m sure, and the NCAA will.”
First-year Tulsa coach Philip
Montgomery, a former Baylor assistant, also apologized.
“Obviously, it was a mistake and a
poor decision on my part to leave a
credential for Jeff and his wife,”
Montgomery said in a statement.
“They were in the
Oklahoma City/Norman
area for a wedding and
came to the game to support
me. There was no malicious
intent on my part. I’ve
known Jeff since he was in
the 6th grade. I called Coach
Stoops today and apologized
for this situation.”
There was no immediate
response from Big 12 officials. Briles said Lebby, an
Oklahoma graduate, was
there while the fifth-ranked
Bears had an open date last
weekend. According to his
Baylor bio, Lebby signed a
national letter of intent
with the Sooners in 2002
before an injury forced him
to end his playing career,
and then spent four years as
a student assistant coach
there.
Montgomery was Baylor’s
offensive coordinator the
past three seasons after
being the Bears’ co-offensive coordinator four years
before that. There are also
some other former Baylor
staff members with Tulsa.
“(Lebby) probably thought
it was OK to go lounge
around and see Coach
Montgomery and those guys
on the sideline for a few
minutes, but it’s not,” Briles
said. “In my opinion, it’s
unethical.”
When asked, Briles said
he didn’t plan any discipline against Lebby.
Briles said Lebby’s presence on the sideline for
“maybe a quarter” would
provide no scouting advantage when the Bears play
Oklahoma on Nov. 14.
“There’s not an advantage,
first and foremost, in
today’s world. We get every
film they’ve ever got, and
they get every film we’ve
ever got,” Briles said. “It’s
unfortunate, I hate it. I hate
it for the perception standpoint.”
The night before Baylor’s
last game, a 66-31 win over
FCS team Lamar on Sept.
12, Briles suspended offensive coordinator Kendal
Briles, the head coach’s son,
and wide receivers coach
Tate Wallis, for committing
an NCAA recruiting violation.
Baylor said the two assistants committed a violation
related to evaluations of
prospective student-athletes
during this past spring
recruiting period. They
were not permitted at the
stadium during that game,
but have since resumed
their coaching duties.
