Overheated brakes deemed cause of Hatchery Fire
BY KRISTEN CZABAN
THE SHERIDAN PRESS
BIGHORN MOUNTAINS — Fire investigators identified the origin and cause of the
Hatchery Fire on Monday.
The fire started Friday on the north side of
U.S. Highway 16 in the Ten Sleep Canyon and
the origin is located along U.S. Highway 16
near mile marker 34.
The cause of the fire is human caused due
to mechanical failure — overheated breaks.
Brake lining was found at the point of origin,
which consisted of grass and fine fuels. The
mechanical failure was not severe enough to
disable the vehicle to the point that it could
be identified.
Firefighters continued to make good progress on the Hatchery Fire burning 7 miles
northeast of Ten Sleep on Monday, according to officials from the Bureau of Land
Management.
Crews working the southwestern flank of
the fire continued to mop-up the fire’s edge
and patrol the perimeter. Firefighters conducted firing operations along hand lines
on the northeastern flank in order to limit
the spread of the fire further east. Aviation
resources assisted with firing operations
doing bucket drops to cool hot spots and
within areas where risk to firefighters was
too great. Across the interior of the fire, there
was minimal fire behavior with areas of
creeping and smoldering.
The fire has reached 2,775 acres and is 60
percent contained, officials said in a press
release Monday night.

District 2 performed the best
of the three local public school
districts. Students in that district, at all grade levels, topped
the state averages in math,
science and reading for those
who showed themselves to be
proficient or advanced in the
subjects.
“We try to look at all of the
cohorts,” SCSD2 Superintendent
Craig Dougherty said. “We
look at how the students perform from grade to grade so
that we’re looking at apples to

He noted that when you look
at the elementary grade levels
tested, the students improved
in each subject area. The junior
high students slipped a little
in two areas, but still outperformed the state average.
“We weren’t real pleased with
the eighth-grade math scores, so
we’ve made some reflections on
that,” Dougherty said.
The scores for math in eighth
grade fell from 68.29 to 62.19
percent scoring proficient or
advanced.
Dougherty credited the teachers and staff in SCSD2 for helping students do well on the tests.

County School District 2 officials made several changes
to their administrative staff,
including the hiring of two new
principals. Additionally, 24
certified staff were approved by
the school board to join SCSD2
schools this August.
Bonnema said it was the
reputation of the district and
the school that brought him to
Coffeen Elementary. A native
of Colorado, he had previously worked as a teacher and
an assistant principal in the
Denver metropolitan area
before arriving in Sheridan.
“This is a high-performing
school and a high-performing
team at Coffeen Elementary,”
Bonnema said about the school.
“I really want to bring what I
can to this school.”
Bonnema was approved by
the school board at the June
20 meeting to replace former
Coffeen Elementary principal
Nikki Trahan, who resigned
this summer. He began his new
job on July 25.

Craft breweries try to stand out with creative tap handles
RANDOM LAKE, Wis. (AP) — Cone heads,
zombies, beards, bananas — they are some of
the creative beer tap handles that have become
a big business as the number of craft breweries has skyrocketed.
There were 2,033 craft breweries in 2011
compared to 4,144 last year, according to the
Brewers Association.
AJS Tap Handles’ business has mirrored the
breweries’ growth. They are expanding their
26,000 square foot Random Lake, Wisconsin,
office and factory by 16,500 square feet by
December. Their 45 employees make about
500,000 handles out of resin, metal and wood a
year.
“Sometimes the best ones are the simplest
ones, that have a really memorable shape and
really bold branding,” said Cole Krueger, AJS’
lead designer.
He also advises beer makers to go no wider
than three inches and stay under a pound for
the knob on draft beer faucets. That width is so
they can fit in with other handles and for the
bartenders, who have to be able to take them
off quickly if a keg runs empty during a rush.
And the weight is so the handles don’t break
faucets, causing beer to gush everywhere.
It behooves breweries to stay within the
guidelines, says Rob Zellermayer, beer buyer
and bartender at Sugar Maple in Milwaukee,
where they have 60 beers on tap.
“I need very little reason not to buy beer
sometimes and if it’s the idea it might break
a faucet unfortunately there are thousands of
other breweries I can pick from,” he said.
While for some drinkers it’s still about the
qualities of the beer and menu description,
some drinkers such as Tyler Penrod do look at
the handle for a first impression. He ordered
his Surly Brewing Company’s “Overrated”
recently at The Brass Tap in Greenfield based
on the handle, which has silver “Surly” letters
in black with a blue and white square top that
says “Overrated.”
“I liked the industrial look of it. The
name was appealing beyond the name of
the brewery, which I’m familiar with, being
“Overrated” made me curious,” he said.
Turns out, it wasn’t overrated.
“I like it a lot. I would definitely probably get
it again,” he said.
US new-home sales
climbed in June to
more than 8-year high
WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans bought new
homes in June at the fastest pace in more than eight
years, a sign that a solid job market and low mortgage rates are bolstering the U.S. housing market.
The Commerce Department said Tuesday that
new-home sales rose 3.5 percent last month to a
seasonally adjusted rate of 592,000, the best level
since February 2008. Purchases of new homes have
climbed 10.1 percent year-to-date, despite volatile
sales on a monthly basis.
“Today’s report confirms the considerable strength
in the housing market over the past few months,”
said Rob Martin, U.S. economist at Barclays.
Low mortgage rates and a healthy job market
have lifted residential real estate, which continues
to recover from the depths of the housing bust that
began nearly a decade ago. Greater demand and tight
inventories have led to rising prices and signs that
housing will help overall economic growth.
But affordability remains a problem and the potential of new-home sales returning to their historic
average sales rate of 650,000 could be limited.
June’s median sales price rose 6.1 percent from
a year ago to $306,700. Just 4.9 months’ supply of
new homes is listed for sale, well below this historic average of six months. Sales surged in the West
and Midwest by more than 10 percent in June, but
declined in the Northeast and South.
CHEYENNE (AP) —
Wyoming’s unemployment
rate increased slightly to 5.7
percent in June.
The rate is up from May’s
5.6 percent and higher than
the national rate of 4.9 percent.
The state Wyoming
Department of Workforce
Services says it’s not unusual for unemployment to
increase in June as the
school year ends and young
people start looking for jobs.
Around the state, unemployment rates rose in 13
counties, fell in eight counties and were unchanged in
two counties.
Campbell and Natrona
counties had the highest
unemployment rates at
7.8 percent each. They
were followed by Fremont
County’s 7.2 percent and the
6.8 percent recorded in both
Converse and Sweetwater.
Teton County had the
state’s lowest unemployment rate at 2.6 percent,
followed by Niobrara’s 3.4
percent and Goshen’s 3.7
percent.

Gary Falk fell about 2,400

feet in elevation. They were

rappelling device became
stuck and Falk unclipped
his tether from the anchor
to reposition himself to free
the device.
Another Exum guide safely led the clients down the

It was Falk’s 12th summer

Drone operator who flew over
wildfire under investigation
BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — Authorities are
considering criminal charges against the
operator of a drone that hampered firefighting efforts during a wildfire near Billings.
The Billings Gazette reports that the
unmanned aircraft had been seized after
it interfered with firefighting aircraft on
Friday. Yellowstone County Sheriff Mike
Linder says the aircraft had to be grounded
and the incident cost firefighters several
hours of air support.
Authorities located the drone operator,
who Linder says seemed to know he had
been doing something illegal. A spokesman
for the Federal Aviation Administration
says the man faces fines of up to $27,500 in
addition to criminal prosecution.
The fire, which began Friday, quickly
burned more than 2 square miles and was
determined 90 percent contained Sunday. It
destroyed one home and forced the evacuation of several others.

Obama expanding
refugee program for
Central Americans
WASHINGTON (AP)
— The Obama administration will soon expand
efforts to help Central
American families and
children legally immigrate
to the United States amid
another surge of migrants
caught crossing the border
illegally.
White House Deputy
Homeland Security
Adviser Amy Pope said
Tuesday that the administration will expand
in-country refugee processing for families coming from Honduras, El
Salvador and Guatemala
and launch an effort to
temporarily relocate some
families to Costa Rica.
The government is also
broadening a nearly twoyear-old program to allow
some Central American
children to reunite with
parents already legally living in the United States.
Deputy Homeland
Security Secretary
Alejandro Mayorkas said
that program will now
allow some unmarried
siblings, in-country parents and other caregivers to move to the U.S.
with a child approved
for the program.
The efforts are
designed in part to combat the crush of tens of
thousands of families
and unaccompanied
children caught crossing
the border illegally this
year. But it is unclear
how quickly the expanded efforts may impact
the flow of immigrants
trying to make their way
to the United States illegally.
Since the state of the
budget year in October,
more than 51,100 people
traveling as families
and more than 43,000
unaccompanied children
have been caught illegally crossing the Mexican
border. The number of
such immigrants has
been steadily rising this
year after significant
decreases between the
2014 and 2015 budget
years.
The Obama administration first launched
the effort to allow child
immigrants to legally come to the U.S. in
December 2014. More
than 600 have moved
to the United States
since then. Mayorkas
said 2,884 kids have
been approved for the
program and more than
9,500 applications are
pending.
In January, the administration first announced
that the United Nations
High Commissioner for
Refugees would prescreen would-be refugee
families. U.S. officials
will now handle more
in-country processing for
those families.
Pope said refugee
programs in Central
America are being
expanded because “cur-
rent efforts to date haven’t
been sufficient.” The new
programs, she said, are
designed to help “promote
safe and orderly immigration and border security.”
Pope said it is unclear
how many families and
children may benefit
from the enhanced programs but officials expect
requests for help to steadily increase as the programs get underway in the
coming months.
In the meantime, Costa
Rica will also soon start
accepting up to 200 people
in immediate need of refugee at a time for up to six
months.

Certainly there’s much animus (and worse) going around
about Secretary Hillary
Clinton on the eve of her party’s presidential nomination.
This is a story from her 2008
campaign, likely apocryphal.
A professional genealogical
researcher discovered that
Then Sen. Hillary Clinton’s
great-great uncle, Remus
Rodham, was hanged for
horse stealing and train robbery in 1889. The only known
photo of Remus shows him
standing on the gallows.
On the back of the photograph is the inscription:
Remus Rodham. Horse thief.
Sent to Montana Territorial
Prison in 1885; escaped
ion 1887, robbed Montana
Flyer six times. Caught by
Pinkerton detectives, convicted and hanged, in 1889.
The researchers emailed
then-Sen. Clinton for comments. The senator’s staff of
professional “image adjusters” sent back the following
biographical “sketch:”
“Remus Rodham was
a famous cowboy in the
Montana Territory. His business empire grew to include
acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate
dealings with the Montana
railroad. Beginning in 1883, he
devoted several years of his
life to service at a government
facility, finally taking leave to
resume his dealings with the
railroad.
“In 1887, he was a key player
in a vital investigation run
by the renowned Pinkerton
Detective Agency. In 1889,
Remus passed away during
an important civic function
held in his honor when the
platform upon which he was
standing collapsed.”

battlefields, I found his enlistment and his association with
William Quantrill and other
knaves and outlaws. Yet,
uncertain if he was in on the
infamous raid at Lawrence,
Kansas. Further research on
my own found he’s buried in
a Confederate veterans cemetery in Ardmore, Oklahoma.

“With public sentiment,

nothing can succeed.”
— Abraham Lincoln, 18091865, 16th U.S. president

The path ahead for Clinton with dissatisfied voters
n route to fight one of his many duels,
French politician Georges Clemenceau
bought a one-way train ticket. Was he
pessimistic? “Not at all. I always use my
opponent’s return ticket for the trip back.” Some
Hillary Clinton advisers, although not that
serene, think her victory is probable and can be
assured.
Her challenge is analogous to Ronald Reagan’s in
1980, when voters were even
more intensely dissatisfied
than they now are. There
were hostages in Iran and
stagflation’s “misery index”
(the sum of the inflation
and unemployment rates)
GEORGE
was 21.98. By August 1979,
WILL
84 percent of Americans
said the country was on the
|
wrong track. A substantial
majority did not want to
re-elect Jimmy Carter but
a majority might do so unless convinced that
Reagan would be a safe choice. Reagan’s campaign responded by buying time for several
half-hour televised speeches and other ads
stressing his humdrum competence.
Now, voters reluctant to support the
unpleasant and unprepared Republican also
flinch from Clinton, partly because of the
intimacy the modern presidency forces upon
them: As one Clinton adviser uneasily notes,
a president spends more time in the average
family’s living room than anyone who is not
a family member. Clinton is not a congenial
guest.
Her opponent radiates anger, and America
has not elected an angry president since
Andrew Jackson, long before television
brought presidents into everyone’s living
room, where anger is discomfiting. Clinton’s
campaign must find ways to present her as
more likable than she seems and more likable
than her adversary, both of which are low
thresholds. Regarding the threshold that matters most — 270 electoral votes — she would
not trade places with her opponent.
Since 1976, Florida, today’s largest swing
state, has been somewhat more Republican
than the nation. Clinton now is in a statistical
tie there (in the Real Clear Politics average
of polls), where the Hispanic vote is growing
and moving left. She leads in Virginia, the
third-largest swing state (behind Ohio), by
RCP’s 5.3 points and in another purple state,
Colorado, by 8 points.
One state that might indicate a tectonic shift
in American politics is Arizona, which has
voted for a Democratic presidential candidate
only once since Harry Truman in 1948 (Bill
Clinton in 1996, by 2.2 points). In 2012, Mitt
Romney defeated Barack Obama there by 9
points.
Today, however, John McCain’s sixth
Senate campaign may be becoming his most
difficult. His trademark has been “straight
talk” but now he must mumble evasions about
the man at the top of the Republican ticket
who has disparaged McCain’s war service.
McCain, who has won his five previous elections by an average of 33.4 points, today leads
in the RCP average by 5.5.
If Clinton, who is in another statistical tie
in Arizona, decides to compete there, one
reason will be the Mormons. They are just 5
percent of the state population, but 8 percent
of the general election turnout. In a competitive election, their deep cultural antipathy
toward Donald Trump might swing 11 elec-
toral votes. Utah Republicans in this year’s
caucuses voted 69.2 percent for Ted Cruz, 16.8
for John Kasich and 14 percent for Trump. If
Arizona becomes a presidential battleground
this year, it will validate The Atlantic’s Ron
Brownstein’s analysis that any Trump gains
for the GOP among white blue-collar votes
in Rust Belt states (e.g., Ohio, Wisconsin,
Pennsylvania, Michigan) may be more than
matched by Clinton gains among minorities and persons with college educations in
Sunbelt states and elsewhere.
Clinton’s selection of Virginia’s U.S. Sen.
and former Gov. Tim Kaine represents the
rare intersection of good politics and good
governance. He increases her chance of winning the 13 electoral votes of his state, which
has voted with the presidential winner in
four consecutive elections and seven of the
last nine. He, like she, has been an executive,
so perhaps experience has inoculated him
against the senatorial confusion between gestures and governing.
There probably is no Democratic governor
or senator more palatable than Kaine to constitutional conservatives. Such conservatives
are eager to bring presidential power back
within constitutional constraints, and Kaine
is among the distressingly small minority of
national legislators interested in increased
congressional involvement in authorizing the
use of military force. And as a member of both
the Armed Services and Foreign Relations
committees, Kaine can, if their paths ever
cross on the campaign trail, patiently try to
help Trump decipher the acronym NATO.

Sarah Silverman: Bernie-or-bust Dems ‘being ridiculous’
BY LEANNE ITALIE
Comic Sarah Silverman joined Sen.
Al Franken Monday night to urge
Democratic National Convention
delegates to unite — then stirred up
Bernie Sanders die-hards with some
choice words: “To the Bernie or bust
people, you’re being ridiculous.”
As a Sanders supporter herself,
Silverman said she would now vote
for Hillary Clinton “with gusto” as she
continues to be “inspired and moved
to action by the ideals set forth by
Bernie, who will never stop fighting
for us.”
She spoke on the convention’s opening day just before Paul Simon stood
at a microphone and crooned the
Simon and Garfunkel classic “Bridge
Over Troubled Water.”
Singer Demi Lovato got personal at
the podium, touching on her struggle
with mental illness, including eating
and bipolar disorders. She urged an
end to the stigma of those afflicted and
called on politicians to support better
access to health care for all.
“Like millions of Americans, I
am living with mental illness,” the
23-year-old Lovato said. “But I am
lucky. I had the resources and support to get treatment at a top facility.
Unfortunately, too many Americans
from all walks of life don’t get help,
whether they fear the stigma or
cannot afford treatment.” Lovato
closed with a performance of her hit
“Confident.”
Actress Eva Longoria of “Desperate
Housewives” trashed Republican
presidential nominee Donald Trump
for his statements on Mexican immigrants.
Longoria, a Latina from a small
town in south Texas, said she is
ninth-generation American from a
place once owned by Mexico.
“My family never crossed a border.
The border crossed us,” she said, adding: “When Donald Trump calls us
criminals and rapists, he is insulting
American families. My father is not
a criminal or rapist. In fact, he’s a
United States veteran.”
Fans and fashionistas, meanwhile,
waited patiently for the dress reveal of
first lady Michelle Obama, who spoke
late Monday night. She wore a bright
blue, A-line, cap-sleeve custom dress
from American designer Christian
Siriano. It was made of silk crepe and
included high-belt detailing.
Earlier Monday, Triumph the insulting, cigar-chomping puppet dog joined
sweltering street protesters while
actress Rosario Dawson urged Bernie
Sanders supporters to “listen” to their
man.
Actor and activist Danny Glover of
the “Lethal Weapon” film franchise
addressed the convention’s black
caucus, describing Trump as a fascist
and urging caucus members to “listen
to new voices that demand speaking
truth to power.”
Glover and actresses Shailene
Woodley and Susan Sarandon joined
more than 1,000 people for a climate
rally, vowing to keep up the fight on
environmental issues even though
Sanders, their preferred presidential
candidate, would not be in charge.
Woodley urged Sanders supporters to
remain calm and Sarandon thanked
him for “igniting this spark.”
Boyz II Men performed on the convention stage, while Grammy winner
Alicia Keys, who founded a social justice organization called We Are Here,
appeared on a panel on criminal justice reform and civil rights.
Asked about remarks Hillary
Clinton made as first lady about urban
gangs with “super-predators” — which
she later walked back — Keys said:
“It’s obvious that that was a big mistake. ... If we can admit to our mistakes, that’s the beginning, and the
question is not only just admitting to
the mistake but what are we going to
do about it.”
Looking ahead to Tuesday, actresses
Lena Dunham of “Girls” and America
Ferrera of “Superstore” were among
the notables expected to attend a bash
hosted by Glamour magazine.

NATIONAL OBITUARY |
Marni Nixon, voice of classic movie
songs, has died at 86
NEW YORK (AP) — Hollywood voice double
Marni Nixon, whose singing was heard in place of
the leading actresses in such classic movie musicals as “West Side Story,” ‘‘The King and I” and
“My Fair Lady,” has died. She was 86.
Michael Kirsten, senior vice president of Nixon’s
talent agency, Harden-Curtis Associates, said she
died Sunday of cancer in New York. “She passed
away peacefully with her family at her side,” he
said.
Nixon, who was initially uncredited for her
work, early on resented the dubbing work but later
came to terms with it. “I realized now that this
was something that would outlive me. Something
that would last,” she wrote in her 2006 memoir, “I
Could Have Sung All Night.”
In the heyday of the Hollywood musical, studios often paid big money for film rights to hit
Broadway shows, then cast them with popular
non-singing actors and actresses.
Such was the case with the 1956 hit “The King
and I,” in which filmmakers dubbed Deborah
Kerr’s voice with Nixon’s.
“I was brought in and had to follow along with
her, getting her diction and acting style,” Nixon
recalled in 2004. “She in turn would study how I
looked when I hit the high notes.”
Nixon did the same for Natalie Wood in 1961’s
“West Side Story” and Audrey Hepburn in 1964’s
“My Fair Lady,” which had starred Julie Andrews
onstage. Earlier, she added a few notes to Marilyn
Monroe’s “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend,”
from “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.”
She went uncredited in the films and on their
soundtrack albums and was warned by the filmmakers that if she ever let it be known that she
was doing the singing, “they would run me out of
town.”
Word began to leak out, however, and Kerr
herself blew Nixon’s cover when she praised her
work on “The King and I.” By the late 1960s, The
Hollywood Reporter was joking that “they found
out who was doing (talking horse) Mr. Ed’s voice
on the television show; it was Marni Nixon’s
horse.”
Nixon also appeared before the cameras in 1965,
in a small role as a nun in “The Sound of Music,”
and provided the singing voice of Grandmother Fa
in the 1998 animated film “Mulan.’”
As the era of big, traditional movie musicals
dried up, though, so did Nixon’s film career. But
she kept busy with other work, including starring
in her own children’s TV show, singing opera, soloing with symphony orchestras, appearing in a road
tour of “Cabaret” and teaching at the California
Institute of the Arts.
In her later years, she was also popular at nostalgia festivals, where she told audiences, “I allowed
all these actresses to dub their bodies to my voice.”
She had landed her role in “West Side Story”
after Wood’s voice proved inadequate for the
challenging Leonard Bernstein score. She prepared for it by studying Wood singing the role of
Maria before the cameras — and had to then face
the exacting task of getting her singing to match
Wood’s on-screen lip movements.
Today’s Highlight in
History:
On July 26, 1775, the
Continental Congress established a Post Office and
appointed Benjamin Franklin
its Postmaster-General.
On this date:
In 1788, New York became
the 11th state to ratify the U.S.
Constitution.
In 1882, the Richard
Wagner opera “Parsifal” premiered in Bayreuth, Germany.
In 1908, U.S. Attorney
General Charles J. Bonaparte
ordered creation of a force of
special agents that was a forerunner of the Federal Bureau
of Investigation.
In 1925, five days after the
end of the Scopes Trial in
Dayton, Tennessee, prosecutor
William Jennings Bryan died
at age 65. (Although Bryan
had won a conviction against
John T. Scopes for teaching
Darwin’s Theory of Evolution,
the verdict was later overturned.)
In 1945, the Potsdam
Declaration warned Imperial
Japan to unconditionally
surrender, or face “prompt
and utter destruction.” The
same day, Winston Churchill
resigned as Britain’s
prime minister after his
Conservatives were soundly
defeated by the Labour Party;
Clement Attlee succeeded
him.
In 1952, Argentina’s first
lady, Eva Peron, died in
Buenos Aires at age 33. King
Farouk I of Egypt abdicated
in the wake of a coup led by
Gamal Abdel Nasser.
In 1956, Egyptian President
Gamal Abdel Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal.
In 1965, the Maldives
became independent of
Britain.
In 1971, Apollo 15 was
launched from Cape Kennedy
on America’s fourth successful manned mission to the
moon.
In 1986, Islamic radicals
in Lebanon released the Rev.
Lawrence Martin Jenco, an
American hostage held for
nearly 19 months. American
statesman W. Averell
Harriman died in Yorktown
Heights, New York, at age 94.
In 1990, President George
H.W. Bush signed the
Americans with Disabilities
Act.
In 1996, swimmer Amy
Van Dyken became the first
American woman to win
four gold medals at a single
Olympics as she captured the
50-meter freestyle in Atlanta.
Ten years ago: In a dramatic turnaround from her first
murder trial, Andrea Yates
was found not guilty by reason of insanity by a Houston
jury in the bathtub drownings
of her five children; she was
committed to a state mental
hospital. Iraqi Prime Minister
Nouri al-Maliki appealed to
a joint meeting of the U.S.
Congress to press the war in
Iraq with money and troops.
In Baghdad, a thinner but
combative Saddam Hussein
returned to his trial for the
first time since his hunger
strike and hospitalization.
Five years ago: The White
House threatened to veto
emergency House legislation
that aimed to avert a threatened national default.
One year ago: Closing out
a historic visit to the land of
his father’s birth, President
Barack Obama told Kenyans
that their country was at a
crossroads, and he urged them
to “choose the path to progress” by continuing to root out
corruption, eliminate income
inequality and be more inclusive of women and girls. In a
rare Sunday session, senior
Senate Republicans lined up
to rebuke Texas Republican
Sen. Ted Cruz — without mentioning him by name — for
harshly criticizing Majority
Leader Mitch McConnell.
Thought for Today: “One
brave deed makes no hero.”

Sally Jane Hart Strand, 79, of Sheridan
passed away on Friday, July 22, 2016 in
the Scott Cottage at the Green House
Living.
Sally was born on April 29, 1937 in
Midwest, WY to Dr. Wilbur Hart and
Martha (Leach) Hart. She graduated from
Sally Jane
Natrona County High School in 1955. She
Hart Strand
met the man she would marry at the IXL
dude ranch at Dayton, WY. She married Donald E. (Tuffy) Strand on September 12, 1954 in Las
Vegas, Nevada.
She had many different occupations from banking to
real estate agent, but she was proudest when she and Tuffy
bought the Mountain Inn Bar in Dayton, Wyoming during
the 1980’s. Dayton was where Sally and Tuffy met and that’s
where they finished their life together. Sally enjoyed having
fun and was always up for a good time, you could always
see her with a smile and she had a contagious laugh. Some

daughters grow into successful adults. She was also very
proud of her grandchildren and spent a lot of memorable
time watching them compete in their different athletic
endeavors and grow into young adults.
Sally was preceded in death by her husband Donald E.
(Tuffy) Strand and her parents Dr. Wilbur Hart and Martha
Hart, and an infant sister Nancy.
Sally is survived by her children, Peggy Dawn Strand of
Sheridan, WY, Jannan Lee (Randy) Clabaugh of Arvada,
WY, her two grandchildren, Donald Lamont Clabaugh of

History as Clinton ascends to nomination — hostility too
BY KATHLEEN HENNESSEY AND CALVIN WOODWARD
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A glass ceiling
is shattering at the Democratic National
Convention as Hillary Clinton ascends to
the presidential nomination with Tuesday’s
roll call of the states, making her the first
woman to lead a major party into a White
House race.
Clinton’s campaign hoped to use the
history-making moment to bolster the candidate’s popularity — mindful that while
many voters are happy to be nominating a
woman, they’re not wild about this particular woman candidate. Former President
Bill Clinton and other speakers will offer
prime-time testimonials to her career highlights and advocacy, hoping to soften her
image and resistance to her bid.
But as history is being made, hostility is
being heard, too. Bernie Sanders’ primary
challenge has unleashed vitriol toward the
party establishment that Sanders himself
has been unable to rein in. His supporters
spent much of Monday protesting his treatment by the party, even booing Clinton’s
name.
What was expected to be a tightly orchestrated convention, run with all the professionalism and experience that were lacking
at Trump’s often-chaotic affair in Ohio,
instead showed its rough edges in the early
going, starting with chants of “Bernie”
during the opening invocation and boos at
numerous mentions of Clinton’s name.
First lady Michelle Obama gave a heartfelt endorsement of the candidate who
engaged her husband in a fierce struggle
for the nomination in 2008. “I trust Hillary
to lead this country,” she said in a speech
that provided a parent’s-eye view of the
White House and its power.
Liberal favorite Elizabeth Warren, senator from Massachusetts, and Sanders himself also gave the party something to cheer
about Monday night.
While Mrs. Obama has often avoided
overt politics, her frustration with Trump’s
rise was evident. Without naming him, she
warned that the White House couldn’t be
in the hands of someone with “a thin skin
or a tendency to lash out” or someone who
tells voters the country can be great again.
“This right now, is the greatest country on
earth,” she said.
Sanders took the stage to a sustained roar
and shouts of “We love you, Bernie.” Some
of his supporters were in tears.
While asserting “our revolution continues,” the Vermont senator implored his
restive followers to get behind Clinton.
On issues of poverty, immigration, environmental protection and more, he said,
Clinton’s election counts. “If you don’t
believe that this election is important,” he
said, “take a moment to think about the
Supreme Court justices that Donald Trump
would nominate.”
Some delegates said the messages did
the trick.
“As the night went on, we saw a party
grow stronger,” South Carolina delegate
Boyd Brown said after the first day speeches.
Where Monday’s opening night lineup showcased diversity — with black,
Hispanic, gay and disabled speakers —
Tuesday’s program will undoubtedly play
up Clinton’s historical milestone and make
an overt appeal to women voters who see it
as long overdue.
Trump seemed to acknowledge Clinton’s
edge with female voters.
“Fifty percent of our country is men,
where I’m doing very, very well,” he
began in remarks Monday night in North
Carolina. “That’s the good news. Let me
give you the bad news: The women. I don’t
know what’s going on with the women
here. But I think, I think I’m doing well
with the women.”
Clinton was firmly on track to write the
next chapter of a story that left off in 2008,
when she conceded the Democratic presidential race to Barack Obama in a speech
that lamented “we weren’t able to shatter
that highest, hardest glass ceiling this
time,” but added proudly, “it’s got about 18
million cracks in it,” a tally of her primary
votes.
The roll call, when each state announces
its delegate totals from the primary season,
will affirm a nomination Clinton locked
up weeks ago. One question of the day was
whether Sanders would press for a count
by all the states, as his delegates want, or
interrupt the process to ask that her nomination be approved by acclamation. That’s
what Clinton did on Obama’s behalf in 2008
to indicate their rivalry was truly over.
Nomination sealed, the Clinton campaign
planned to turn to a Day 2 program dubbed
“Fights of Her Life,” highlighting her advocacy for children, health care and Sept. 11
recovery efforts, the campaign said.
The speakers also will include the
so-called “mothers of the movement” —
the mothers of Eric Garner and Michael
Brown, black men whose deaths at the
hands of police helped spawn the Black
Lives Matter protests.
The moment will not be without controversy: Philadelphia’s police union
complained that Clinton was showcasing
killings by police without giving equal time
to the families of fallen officers. Clinton’s
campaign responded that two members of
law enforcement also are on the convention
schedule.
The convention opened in a dust-up over
leaked emails showing the party’s pro-Clinton, anti-Sanders slant during the primaries, when it was supposed to be neutral.
In the uproar, party chairwoman Debbie
Wasserman Schultz of Florida went swiftly
into exile, first giving up her position, then
the convention’s opening-day gavel after
being roundly booed by Sanders partisans
at a meeting of her home-state delegation.

Up there: Netherlands, Latvia lead
world for people’s height
NEW YORK (AP) — If
you want to see a tall population of men, go to the
Netherlands. Tall women?
Latvia.
And in the United States,
which lags behind dozens of
other countries in height,
the average for adults
stopped increasing about 20
years ago.
That’s the word from
researchers who analyzed
a century’s worth of height
data from 200 countries.
Results were released
Monday in the journal eLife.
National height averages
are useful as an indicator
of nutrition, health care,
environment and general
health that people have
experienced from the womb
through adolescence, said
Majid Ezzati of Imperial
College London, who led the
research. Genes also influence height.
The researchers calculated
average height for 18 year
olds, roughly the age when
people stop growing. They
drew on more than 1,400
studies that covered more
than 18.6 million adults who
reached that age between
1914 and 2014.
Experts said the results
generally agree with what
others have reported before.
The tallest men in the
new analysis were Dutch,
with an average height of
about 6 feet (182.5 centimeters). The next nine tallest
countries in order for men
were Belgium, Estonia,
Latvia, Denmark, BosniaHerzegovina, Croatia,
Serbia, Iceland and the
Czech Republic.
Latvia topped the list for
women, with an average
height of 5-foot-6 (170 centimeters). Rounding out the
top 10 were the Netherlands,
Estonia, the Czech Republic,
Serbia, Slovakia, Denmark,
Lithuania, Belarus and
Ukraine.
Over the century-long
span of the study, the biggest gains appeared in
South Korean women and
Iranian men, who added 8
inches (20.2 centimeters)
and 6 ½ inches (16.5 centimeters), respectively. There
was little change in South
Asia and some sub-Saharan
African countries.
In the U.S., men gained
about 2 ½ inches (6 centimeters) over the century, with
about 2 inches (5 centimeters) for women. The nation
is now the 37th tallest for
men and 42nd for women,
researchers said.
The analysis estimated
that average height for U.S.
18 year olds maxed out at
about 5-foot-10 (177.5 centimeters) for men in 1996,
and at about 5-foot-5 (164
centimeters) for women in
1988. Since then height has
stalled but not decreased
significantly, said James
Bentham of Imperial College
London, a study author.
Most Western countries,
including the Netherlands,
also have hit a plateau,
although the U.S. reached it
early, researchers said.
The researchers didn’t
investigate the causes of the
U.S. stagnation. But John
Komlos, a visiting professor of economics at Duke
University in Durham,
North Carolina, said there
could be several reasons. He
didn’t participate in the new
study but has previously
studied height.
Komlos suggested such
factors as lack of health
insurance, shortfalls in
medical and prenatal care,
underweight and preterm
babies from teenage pregnancies, and a rise in obesity, which leads to earlier
puberty and so stoppage of
growth.

Jets fall in
Class B
title game
FROM STAFF REPORTS
SHERIDAN — The state championship was within reach for
the Sheridan Jets, but the team
fell just short in a tough 6-5 loss
to Gillette.
The Wyoming Class B state
championship was on the line
as Sheridan and Gillette battled
it out Monday morning in the
second game of the double-elimination championship. Gillette
beat Sheridan Sunday to force
the final matchup.
The Jets jumped ahead early,
scoring 3 in the first inning, but
Gillette responded with 3 in the
second to tie the game.
From there, the two teams traded runs until a scoreless seventh
inning resulted in a Gillette title.
Jaxon Parker broke the 3-3
tie in the fifth inning when his
single scored Will Timberlake to
make it 4-3. It was Parker’s 13th
RBI of the tournament.
Again, though, Gillette
answered in the bottom of the
inning, scoring 3 runs that would
end up being the difference makers.
The Jets got one back in the
sixth inning but left the bases
loaded as they watched their title
slip away.
Parker, Timberlake, Race

all named to the All-Tournament
team after Monday’s game.

Jordan gives
$2M; looks
to build trust
between
blacks, cops
BY STEVE REED
AP SPORTS WRITER
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) —
Michael Jordan finally spoke
out on Monday about racial
tensions in America in hopes
of easing conflicts between
blacks and law enforcement.
The NBA great and
Charlotte Hornets owner
announced he is giving $1
million to the Institute for
Community-Police Relations
and another $1 million to the
NAACP Legal Defense Fund.
The aim is to help build trust
following several shootings
around the country.
“As a proud American, a
father who lost his own dad
in a senseless act of violence,
and a black man, I have been
deeply troubled by the deaths
of African-Americans at the
hands of law enforcement and
angered by the cowardly and
hateful targeting and killing
of police officers,” Jordan said
in a statement. “I grieve with
the families who have lost
loved ones, as I know their
pain all too well.”
Jordan’s father was killed
in 1993 in a botched carjacking in North Carolina. Daniel
Green and his friend Larry
Demery were convicted of killing 56-year-old James Jordan
along U.S. 74 and dumping
his body in South Carolina.
Both were sentenced to life in
prison.
The high-profile Jordan has
been notoriously silent over
the years when it comes to his
opinions on politics or social
justice issues, which has
drawn some criticism.
But he said Monday he “can
no longer stay silent” on the
issue.
“I was raised by parents
who taught me to love and
respect people regardless of
their race or background, so
I am saddened and frustrated
by the divisive rhetoric and
racial tensions that seem to
be getting worse as of late,”
Jordan said in the statement.
“I know this country is better
than that. ... We need to find
solutions that ensure people
of color receive fair and equal
treatment AND that police
officers — who put their lives
on the line every day to protect us all — are respected and
supported.”
Spike Lee tweeted: “DO NOT
SLEEEP ON MJ.” NBA player
Jared Dudley tweeted: “There
u go MJ.”
Jordan won six NBA championships with the Chicago
Bulls and became one of the
most popular and respected
basketball players in the
world. After retiring, he
became the majority owner of
the Hornets in 2010.
“Over the past three decades
I have seen up close the dedication of the law enforcement
officers who protect me and
my family,” Jordan said. “I
have the greatest respect for
their sacrifice and service. I
also recognize that for many
people of color their experiences with law enforcement
have been different than
mine. I have decided to speak
out in the hope that we can
come together as Americans,
and through peaceful dialogue
and education, achieve constructive change.”
Jordan said he chose the
Institute for CommunityPolice Relations because its
policy and oversight work is
focused on building trust and
promoting best practices in
community policing. He gave
to the NAACP Legal Defense
Fund, the nation’s oldest civil
rights law organization, to
support its work in support
of reforms aimed at building
trust and respect between
communities and law enforcement.

Chaz Roe (1-0) worked the 10th
for the victory.
Nolan Arenado homered for the
Rockies, who mustered only six
hits.
One of the most surprising
aspects of the game occurred in
the field, where Arenado made
two errors at third base. The
three-time Gold Glove Award
winner botched a grounder in the
first inning and threw wildly to
first base in the second, a mistake
that led to an unearned run.
Arenado came into the game
with just one error in 96 games
this season.
Seeking his 100th career victory, Colorado lefty Jorge De La
Rosa got locked in a duel with
Yovani Gallardo and failed to get
a decision. Coming off a miserable outing in which he gave up a
career-high nine runs to Tampa
Bay, De La Rosa allowed two
runs, one earned, and four hits in
6 1/3 innings.
He entered the seventh with a
2-1 lead but was lifted after hitting
a batter and giving up a double.
Jones greeted Adam Ottavino
with a run-scoring groundout.
Gallardo gave up two runs and
five hits in 6 2/3 innings.
After Jones singled in a second-inning run, Arenado led off
the fourth by sending a 1-0 pitch
into the left-field seats. It was his
26th homer of the season and second in two games.

BY DOUG FERGUSON
AP GOLF WRITER
SPRINGFIELD, N.J. (AP)
— Jordan Spieth walked with
purpose down the long corridor
toward his locker, not stopping to
look at the photos and scorecards
that cover more than a century of
golf history at Baltusrol.
Maybe that was just as well.
History has proven to be his
toughest opponent this year, and
it was bound to be a losing battle.
Dating to 1934 when the Masters
began, Spieth is among 14 players who have won two majors
in one year. Only five of those
players ever won a single major
the following year, and it’s an
elite group — Arnold Palmer,
Jack Nicklaus, Lee Trevino, Tom
Watson and Tiger Woods.
Woods is the only player to win
two majors in consecutive seasons.
Spieth is not trying to salvage his season at the PGA
Championship. All but four players would love to have his year of
two victories and a close call at
the Masters. The exceptions are
the three major champions and
Jason Day, the only three-time
winner on the PGA Tour this
year. It only seems like a struggle
for Spieth because of endless comparisons with last year.
That’s what led Spieth to try
to reason with the media, and
perhaps to remind himself, of the
reality he is facing.
“I think it’s been a solid year,
and I think had last year not happened I’d be having a lot of positive questions,” Spieth said after
the British Open. “Instead, most
of the questions I get are comparing to last year and, therefore,
negative because it’s not to the
same standard. So that’s almost
tough to then convince myself
that you’re having a good year ...
when the questions I get make me
feel like it’s not.”
Trouble is, last year did happen.
Comparisons were inevitable.
Graeme McDowell recalls his
magical season in 2010 when
he won the U.S. Open at Pebble
Beach and delivered the winning
point from the final match at the
Ryder Cup. He ended the year by
taking down Woods at his own
tournament in California. It was
tough to back up a year like that.
“It feels like a disappointment,
like a certain young American
who’s having the same issue,”
McDowell said, smiling because it
was clear he was speaking about
Spieth. “It’s the same way when
you shoot 62. It’s very hard to
come out on the golf course and
back up a 62. That’s the micro
version. The macro version is
coming off a year like that trying
to replicate it. Obviously, there’s
a lot of traps.”
Are the expectations too high?
Is the scrutiny too much?
“The kid is not having a bad
year,” McDowell said. “But he’s in
a different stratosphere now. He’s
in the Tiger stratosphere, where
every shot he hits is going to be
questioned, every move he makes
is going to be questioned. It’s
something he has to get used to.”
And there’s another sobering
reality that Spieth will have to
consider: History suggests he
might never have another season
like last year.
Spieth didn’t just win two
majors. He came as close as
anyone to being the first to capture the calendar Grand Slam.
He missed the British Open
playoff by one shot and was runner-up to Jason Day in the PGA
Championship.
Nicklaus had that chance one
time in 1972, finishing one shot
behind at the British Open.
Palmer created the modern Grand
Slam in 1960 when he won the
Masters and U.S. Open. He never
got shot the rest of his career.
Woods’ lone opportunity ended in
the rain and wind of Muirfield in
2002.
“There are aspirations and
goals and beliefs and knowledge
that you can achieve such incredible things that Jordan did,” Adam
Scott said. “But then there’s
reality balanced in there. History
shows it doesn’t repeat. One guy
(Woods) repeated it a few times.
So what’s successful after that is
what Jordan or any player having
that kind of year will have to figure out. I don’t know the answer.”
Spieth doesn’t believe that last
year was as good as it will get, nor
should he. He doesn’t turn 23 until
Wednesday.

Woman shares her sexual assault story with Baylor players
WACO, Texas (AP) — A woman who said
she was raped by two Oregon State football
players and two other men in 1998 shared
her story with the Baylor football team
Monday.
Brenda Tracy’s talk with the Bears came
two months after a 13-page report said
Baylor failed to properly handle accusations of sexual assault, including some
against former football players.
After hearing about Baylor’s case, Tracy
had called for the NCAA to shut down the
football program.
Tracy told ESPN Central Texas radio that
Baylor football and basketball players were
engaged and paying attention, and that she
told them that they have an opportunity to
exact real change and be an example to follow. She was invited to campus by Baylor
acting head football coach Jim Grobe, who
replaced Art Briles within days after the
report from the Pepper Hamilton law firm.
“One thing I try to do is make this real
for people. Look at me, I’m a human being,
I could be your neighbor, I could be your
mother, I could be the person behind you at
the grocery store,” she said. “But I spent all
these years wanting to kill myself and hating myself because someone else took my
body and I did not give it to them.”
Tracy said what she tries to do is put a
“face and a person and a human experience
to rape.”
A month ago, Tracy shared her story with
Nebraska’s team. The Cornhuskers are
coached by Mike Riley, who was Oregon
State’s coach in 1998. The Associated Press
generally doesn’t identify sexual assault
victims, but Tracy has spoken publicly
about her experience. She has met with
NCAA officials and said she will be speaking to other college teams, with expectations that she will be contacted by more.
According to her Twitter profile, she is
a “Single mother, Registered Nurse, DV/
SA Survivor turned Activist, Speaker, &
Civilian Lobbyist. I believe one person
can change the world...” In a post on her
Twitter account after the talk, which was
closed to the public, Tracy described Grobe
as “a good man with a good heart” while
thanking Baylor for hosting her.

In Mary Shelley’s
“Frankenstein,” the good
doctor’s monster was brought
to life by high-voltage electric shocks that jump-started
Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Michael Roizen
the creature’s organs and
brainwaves. According to a
new study, these days all Dr.
Frankenstein might need to
get the monster going would
be a smartphone!
Recent epilepsy research
from the Mayo Clinic used
an electroencephalogram
to measure study participants’ brainwaves and found
that for about 20 percent of
folks, “cortical processing
in the contemporary brain
is uniquely activated by
the use of PEDs” -- personal
electronic devices, such as a
cellphone or iPad.
That’s right, for some of
you, sending a text message
changes the pattern of your
brainwaves, creating what
the scientists described as a
“unique rhythm” that can’t
be replicated by tapping a
finger or even by talking

REX MORGAN, M.D. by Woody Wilson and Tony DiPreta

ALLEY OOP® by Dave Graue and Jack Bender
DEAR ABBY: I have been
married for almost three
years to a woman who refuses to share the same bed with
me. It started on our honeymoon when, after having sex,
she chose to sleep in a different bed whenever there were
two beds in the room.
She’s in her late 40s and
had never been married
through the same device.
Seems it takes extra effort
and concentration to complete what the researchers
called “nonauditory complex
communication,” such as
texting: For everyone, it
consumes all your conscious
attention and for one in five
it alters your brainwaves!
So now we have a scientific
explanation of why texting
while driving (or crossing
the street) is more dangerous
than hands-free calling. (And
hands-free is more dangerous than not doing it at all
-- 26 percent of car crashes
involve use of a cellphone,
including hands-free calling.) So heed the words on
the digital sign that looms
over the Holland Tunnel on
your way from downtown
Manhattan to New Jersey:
“Pay Attention. Just Drive!”
Pauline Phillips and Jeanne Phillips
before. We have been intimate only twice in the last
year. Moreover, she doesn’t
let me sit next to her while
we watch TV, and there is no
kissing, no touching, no affection of any kind, physical or
verbal.
I have wracked my brain
trying to figure out why she
treats me like this, and I have
a few suspicions. She’s applying for permanent residence
status and may have married
me only for that, although
she denies it. She can no longer bear children, so she may
think there is no point in
having sex or being intimate.
She may have an aversion to
being touched, although she
doesn’t show that when we’re
out in public. She likes to hug
her female friends. (And no, I
don’t think she’s a lesbian.)
Any love that existed
between us is nearly gone at
this point, so am I justified
in getting a separation? We
have been to counseling, and
that is what the therapist
recommended. -- FEELING
UNLOVED IN UTAH
DEAR FEELING
UNLOVED: Assuming you
brush your teeth, use deodorant and shower regularly,
I’m as mystified about your
wife’s behavior as you are. I
know people who treat their
dogs and cats better than this
woman has been treating
you. That you have tolerated
it this long is surprising.
Your therapist has advised
a separation, but I would go
further than that. Because
you don’t have a marriage,
I think you should make it
official.
DEAR ABBY: I receive at
least two or three telemarketing calls a day -- and sometimes even more on Sundays.
Can you please tell me what
to do to put a stop to this?
I have written once before
to an address to curb this
situation, but no luck.
These calls come as late as
9 p.m. Thank you for any
advice. -- STRESSED OUT IN
ILLINOIS
DEAR STRESSED OUT:
I agree that telemarketing
calls are invasive when
they come in multiples. The
USA.gov Consumer Action
Handbook includes a number
you can call to restrict telemarketing calls permanently
by registering your phone
number. It is 888-382-1222.
This can also be done online
at www.donotcall.gov.
If you receive telemarketing calls after your number
has been in the national
registry for 31 days, you can
file a complaint using the
same web page and toll-free
number.
This will cut back on some
of the calls you receive, but
not all of them. Political
organizations, charities and
telephone surveyors with
which you have a relationship can still get through.
However, if you still find
yourself being inundated,
contact your phone provider
and inquire about call-blocking 800 numbers. Good luck!

Hints from Heloise
Dear Readers: How
long is a
refrigerator
or washing
machine
supposed to
last? Have
you ever
wondered
what the life expectancy is
for MAJOR APPLIANCES?
We’ve all had appliances
quit working years before
we expected them to. Then
it seems friends or family
have appliances that never
seem to stop working. Here
is a general guideline/
overview of the average life
spans of some appliances:
Central air conditioner:
10-15 years
Refrigerator: 13-15 years
Washing machine: 10-13
years
Clothes dryer: 13-15 years
Dishwasher: 10 years
How long an appliance
works depends on how often
it is used (or how rarely)
and how well you care for
it. Inspect it once in a while,
and have professionals
check for maintenance services. Changing air filters
for the air conditioner on a
regular basis is crucial for
keeping air-conditioning
units running.
-- Heloise
BEWARE OF MONITOR
Dear Heloise: I saw the
hint in the Dayton (Ohio)
Daily News about keeping
an open baby monitor by
the doorbell. This brings
some risks.
When my children were
small, we had a baby monitor in a bedroom, with the
speaker in the living room.
Two people decided to have
a confidential discussion in
the deserted hallway just
outside the bedroom. Suddenly, all the folks at the
party could overhear the
discussion. Somebody ran
out to let them know, but
the damage was done. Be
aware of open baby monitors. -- Don P. in Ohio
Don, wow! Probably one
in a million, but still worth
noting. Thanks! -- Heloise
MINI FLASHLIGHT
Dear Heloise: It’s annoying that computer manufacturers put black buttons on
a black background. (HELOISE HERE: I am in complete
agreement! I put red or purple nail polish on the “on”
button so I don’t have to
fumble around looking for
the right button!) I’ve found
that one of the handiest
things to keep around is a
mini LED flashlight. To find
Heloise
a black-on-black button, I
just take out my mini LED
flashlight.
One type of LED flashlight I’ve found especially
useful is a laptop reading
light. These can be clipped
onto books for reading, or
carried around like a flashlight. I keep one by my bed
so that if I get up, I don’t
interrupt my wife’s sleeping. This has become my
go-to flashlight. I even use
it when I walk our dog at
night. -- Alan S., via email
DRIED OUT
Dear Heloise: I do occasional woodworking and
use wood filler to cover
screw heads and such. In
the past, I have had a problem with the wood filler
drying out over time. I place
it in a leftover food-storage
container, along with a
damp sponge. This maintains 100 percent humidity
in the container, and the
wood filler does not dry out!
-- David H., Jefferson, Maine
FRESHEN UP
Dear Heloise: Here is a
handy hint for upholstered
sofa pillows: Take a scented
dryer sheet and gently wipe
both sides of the pillow with
it. Then take it outside and
fluff it in the air. -- Susie R.,
Huntington Beach, Calif.

go slower with love.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20): Total honesty is always
the best policy when someone seems evasive. Work requirements could be vague
and you may find it difficult
to pin someone down on the
details. Delay making key
financial decisions.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
You observe all the controversies in the news and process information quickly.
Slower thinkers may have a
hard time keeping up. Since
you are quick on the uptake
you see the needed changes
and act accordingly.
CANCER (June 21-July
22): Take the detour around
debates and disagreements.
You should take notes when
you are inspired and use
your imaginative and creative ideas at a better time.
Hold off on forming important commitments or offers.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):
Maintain your dignity.
Actions or words that you
consider warm and friendly
may cross someone’s imaginary line of decorum. If you
feel like fooling around be
sure to do it in the relative
safety of your own backyard.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Do not let walls develop
between you and a loved
one. Conditions that seem
to muddy the waters will
quickly clear up. Acknowledge your differences with
good grace and be an enthusiastic helpmate.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
Making something into
a mystery can result in a
mess. If you evade questions or give tepid answers

BIRTHDAY GUY: Actor
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau
was born in Rudkobing,
Denmark on this date in
1970. This birthday guy has
starred as Jaime Lannister on “Game of Thrones”
since 2011. On the big
screen, Nikolaj’s film work
includes “Gods of Egypt,”
“Oblivion,” and “Mama.”
He will next star opposite
Lake Bell in the upcoming
crime drama “Shot Caller.”
Nikolaj has been married to
singer and actress Nukaka
since 1998 and the couple
has two children.
ARIES (March 21-April

reflexes gives you an advantage with the competition.

you might stir up some
doubt. This is a poor time to
choose new wardrobe items
or to make changes to your
appearance.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.
21): Athletic activities will
work wonders to upgrade
your attitude. Your leadership abilities might receive
notice from those who are
further up life’s ladder.
Steer clear of friction or debates with fellow workers.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): The fear of failure
or the fear of the unknown
can hold you back from
wholeheartedly pursuing
your goals. Rely on your
best friends and allies for
support. Steer clear of family squabbles and spats.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): Keep privileged information to yourself. Your
ability to judge a situation
is at a high note but your
ability to persuade others to
listen might hit a low one. A
relative or neighbor might
not be completely aboveboard.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): Easy come, easy
go. That fascinating new
hookup may leave you
standing at the counter all
alone to foot the bill. Tackle
important phone calls and
finish up detailed reports
but keep your money in
your pocket.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20): Being loyal and true
blue isn’t always easy.
When you have given your
heart you have agreed to
stick by someone’s side
through thick and thin. If
misunderstandings occur
this might be one of the thin
times.
IF JULY 27 IS YOUR
BIRTHDAY: You are somewhat gullible and easily
impressed by romantic
ideas and people during the
next four to five weeks are
over. Wait before acting
on your most inspirational
ideas and desires. In August
and September you may
be too ambitious for your
own good and might not be
successful with financial
schemes or business affairs.
Wait until October to seek
a new job, promotion, or
career change. Your wisdom and good judgment at
that time could give your
finances a boost or a relationship could become more
solid and dependable.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS |
Public notices allow citizens to monitor their government and make sure that it is
working in their best interest. Independent newspapers assist in this cause by carrying
out their partnership with the people’s right to know through public notices. By offering
an independent and archived record of public notices, newspapers foster a more trusting
relationship between government and its citizens.
Newspapers have the experience and expertise in publishing public notices and have done
so since the Revolutionary War. Today, they remain an established, trustworthy and neutral
source that ably transfers information between government and the people.
Public notices are the lasting record of how the public’s resources are used and are presented
in the most efficient and effective means possible.
Bridge
Zeno, a Greek philosopher who is
best known for his paradoxes, said,
“The goal of life is living in agreement
with nature.”
The goal of a successful bridge partnership is to have agreements that
both players remember and employ
correctly. As I mentioned yesterday,
it is great to have a well-oiled bidding
system, but it will also pay dividends
to discuss defense in depth. For the
rest of this week, let’s look at some
useful agreements to have.
In this deal, how should the defenders card to defeat four spades after
West leads the spade king?
North has a middling game-invitational limit raise. Five trumps and a
decent four-card side suit are good; the
two queen-doubletons are not so hot.
When a defender discards from a
suit not yet led by either side, it is an
attitude signal. Assuming you use
standard signals (not upside-down),
your lowest card in a suit says that
you think your side would do better to
lead a different suit. Alternatively, if
you pitch an unnecessarily high card,
you are asking partner to shift to that
suit -- unless he knows better.
In addition, if you can afford to signal with an honor-card, do so; even an
unobservant partner will notice that.
Here, East could signal with his heart
jack, but much better and more fun is
to place the heart ace -- yes, the ace!
-- onto the table. If you can afford to,

“Sports in modern societies really amount

obligation to speak up, especially in regards
to the African-American outcomes and interests, is critical.”
Social media allows athletes to directly communicate with millions of fans and followers
with a few keystrokes and encourage action.
Edwards explained ISIS has used it in a similar way to recruit self-radicalized people. The
difference is in the message.
Dr. Joseph Cooper, assistant professor at
the University of Connecticut, said any major
social policy — civil rights movement, feminist movement, passage of Title IX — began
with multiple conversations. But there must
be action behind the words.
Both Edwards and Cooper said that’s the
next step in the process.
Cooper called for sustained engagement
from athletes on whatever level they are
comfortable — from continuing the conversation to meeting with groups like Black
Lives Matter, the NAACP and 100 Black Men
to identify specific issues and target ways to
improve them. Cooper also discussed the need
to have benchmarks in which progress can be
measured.
“All these athletes say we care about the
Black Lives Matter movement, in a year from
now we want to see that you’ve actually been
continuing in championing the support,”
Cooper said. “Muhammed Ali’s legacy is a
great example of how he didn’t rest on his laurels in making one decision and saying OK,
that’s enough.
