Wyoming, the nation’s largest coal-producer, has been pressing for access to ports to export coal to Asia, but it has run into stiff opposition in the Northwest. Gov. Matt Mead said Monday that Oregon’s decision last month to block an application from a subsidiary of Ambre Energy, an Australian company, to build the terminal at the Port of Morrow violates the U.S. Constitution’s Commerce Clause. “Coal is the fastest-growing fuel source in the world, and this decision by the state of Oregon prevents Wyoming coal producers from competing in that marketplace,” Mead said. Julie Curtis, communications manager for the Oregon Department of State Lands, said Monday that in addition to Wyoming’s appeal, the agency had received appeals from the Port of Morrow and from Coyote Island Terminal LLC, an Ambre Energy subsidiary. She said more were possible by day’s end. “We determined that the project as proposed just wasn’t consistent with the protection, conservation and best use of our state’s water resources,” Curtis said. But Mead charged that the department denied the application for a removal-fill permit to allow placement of pilings in the river because Oregon officials simply dislike coal. Everett King, president and CEO of Ambre Energy North America, expressed a similar opinion in a statement Monday announcing his company’s appeal. “The permitting process for a rail-to-barge facility should be project-specific and not influenced by the commodities involved,” King said.

B1 Are students going hungry? State, local officials say kids get plenty of cafeteria options BY ALISA BRANTZ THE SHERIDAN PRESS SHERIDAN — With the recent announcement from Sheridan County School District 1 that officials have withdrawn their secondary schools from the National School Lunch Program in favor of locally sourced foods and higher calorie counts, many students, parents and community members in SCSD2 have been questioning why their schools, particularly Sheridan High School, have not followed suit. In January 2012, the U.S. Department of Agriculture issued new standards for the school lunch program that increased the amount of fruits and vegetables served, emphasized whole grain-rich foods, reduced sodium and limited total calories that can be served to students. School lunch programs must follow the nutritional standards set forth in order to receive federal funds and food commodities. For SCSD2, this is a sizeable contribution, with more than 37 percent of their students districtwide qualifying for free or reduced lunch. Business Manager Roxy Taft said that is the main reason the district cannot exit the federal program. In the 2013-14 school year, SCSD2 received $506,634.93 from the federal government to help offset the cost of the 302,777 school lunches they served, of which 159,883 were free or at a reduced cost. They also received $83,087.74 worth of federal food commodities. “We looked at it (withdrawing) seriously this year, mainly for our high school because of the stringent calorie limits and what goes on at the high school level,” Taft said. “We knew some of the tighter regulations were coming — it’s been a change over three years now — and we did cost out over the summer to see if we could ever afford to take our kids off the federal lunch program. The numbers just didn’t work out for how we would help the free and reduced kids, how much we would have to charge the paying students and how much the district would have to contribute.” SCSD1 Business Manager Jeremy Smith said his district is slightly less subsidized than SCSD2 with 24.01 percent of students on free or reduced lunches — 18.1 are free and 5.9 are considered reduced — districtwide. While parents have been pushing for more calories and more locally grown foods, their reasons may be due to incorrect information circulating about the program. Taft stated the district does not agree with some of the restrictions in the federal regula- Best of the West tions and acknowledged that some of the kids are leaving school hungry, but she also knows that with what the school offers, this does not have to be the case. Regulations state that students must take at minimum a half-cup of either fruit or vegetables as well as two of the five components offered — meat (or meat substitute), grains, milk, fruit or vegetable. “Kids are kids and on any given day they might not choose to take all five components,” she said, “but the cooks offer it and the kids get to make the choice.” And as the meals have been designed to fit within federal restrictions, SHS students have the ability to take everything that is offered to students, but a lot of it has to start at home. We can provide it, but if they’re not eating it at home they are not going to adapt.” With the caloric limitations for high school THE SHERIDAN PRESS | ALISA BRANTZ A student shows a lunch tray filled with options available to students at Sheridan High School Monday. them in line, including the five components and an all-you-can-eat salad bar, all for only $3. Edith Green is head cook at SHS and she said it is not uncommon to see a student only take one half-cup fruit cup, a milk serving and a breadstick just to get through the line. “What we try to explain to parents is this is not the cooks saying you can only have this much, they can have all the fruits and vegetables they want,” she said. “It’s training the students set at 750-850 per lunch, the program brings calorie consumption closer to the Federal Drug Administration suggested daily intake of 2,000 calories for an average person. Supervisor of Nutrition Programs at the Wyoming Department of Education Tamra Jackson said that the program is not just focused on reduced calorie intake, but overall health.

District Judge Peter G. Arnold of Cheyenne last year sentenced David C. Croy to prison after his no-contest plea to interfering with a police officer. Authorities say Croy bit an officer who responded to a disturbance call. In a decision issued Monday, the Supreme Court stated that Croy had reached an agreement with prosecutors that called for him to be placed on three to five years of probation. But Arnold rejected that recommendation and imposed prison time after saying he was concerned that Croy had 11 convictions for driving while under the influence of alcohol and might offend again. The court opinion quotes what Arnold told Croy at sentencing in rejecting the idea of putting him on probation: “Mr. Croy, what am I going to tell the mother of the child you kill when you’re out drinking and driving? What am I going to tell her when she comes in and says, ‘Great job, Judge. ... He had 11 convictions for driving while impaired or while under the influence. How could you possibly put him back on the street?’ What am I going to tell her?’” When Croy responded that he would keep himself from drinking in the future, Arnold responded, “But you haven’t in the past. There has never been a time when you didn’t drink. I’m sorry, Mr. Croy, I’m not going to take a chance.” The Supreme Court opinion, written by Justice William Hill, states, “We conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion at sentencing when considering Croy’s criminal history, such as previous DUIs, with safety of the community in mind.” Lawyer Kirk Morgan of the state public defender’s office represented Croy on appeal. His office said Monday he had no comment on the ruling. Wyoming Attorney General Peter Michael said Monday his office’s position was that Croy’s case fell within the issues that judges are allowed to consider at sentencing. “Public protection is a totally legitimate factor in a sentencing decision,” Michael said. He said it’s not abnormal sentencing to send a recidivist drunken driver to prison because they might be a threat to others. Plea agreements between defenders and prosecutors commonly contain the warning that a judge ultimately may not accept sentencing recommendations, Michael said. WYOMING BRIEFS | Gillette motel fire displaces 50; cause suspicious Miss something in a recent edition of The Sheridan Press? Find it online at thesheridanpress.com. GILLETTE (AP) — Investigators say a fire that broke out in a Gillette motel, displacing about 50 people, started under suspicious circumstances. The Gillette News Record reports the fire at the Rodeway Inn started just after 1:30 a.m. Sunday, causing some people staying in the third-floor rooms to jump from windows to escape the smoke and flames in the hallway. The first and second floors had water and smoke damage, but the fire was contained to the third floor. Karen Clarke, a spokeswoman for the Campbell County Memorial Hospital, says 15 people went to the emergency room because of the fire. Four of those people were admitted, and one person was transferred to a hospital in Denver. She did not know the extent of their injuries. Son, mother involved in murdersuicide identified CASPER (AP) — Authorities have released the names of two people who were involved in a murder-suicide on Casper Mountain. The Natrona County Sheriff ’s Office says 48year-old David Benaderet shot and killed his mother, 76-year-old Loretta Benaderet, in a car at the Tower Hill Campground before turning the gun on himself. Their bodies were found Thursday afternoon. The Casper Star-Tribune reports investigators believe the son planned the murder-suicide, and more information about a motive is expected to be released this week. Park Service sets lottery for YNP snowmobile tags JACKSON (AP) — The National Park Service is running a lottery to hand out a limited number of permits to allow snowmobilers to take self-guided trips in Yellowstone National Park this winter for the first time in more than a decade. The Jackson Hole News & Guide reports that the reemergence of private riding in the park is part of a longterm plan that park officials completed last year. Park spokesman Al Nash says he expects big demand for private permits. They’re being distributed through a lottery that runs through Oct. 3 and costs $6 to enter. Nash says he expects most people will apply for permits around the holidays and competition should be less for dates during other times. Game and Fish moves grizzly bear CODY (AP) — The Wyoming Game and Fish Department has trapped and relocated an adult male grizzly bear that was killing livestock north of Pinedale. The game department says the bear was relocated to the Five Mile Creek drainage, about 5 miles from the east entrance to Yellowstone National Park. The release site was within currently occupied grizzly habitat. Wyo. Highway Patrol wants to move shooting range CHEYENNE (AP) — Officials with the Wyoming Highway Patrol want to move the agency’s shooting range to a less densely populated area of Laramie County to improve safety. The Wyoming TribuneEagle reports that the patrol now operates a range on a 14-acre site north of Interstate 80, near the Archer interchange east of Cheyenne. Officials say homes and businesses in the area make the location potentially dangerous and inconvenient for the troopers who use the range. Patrol officials would like to move the range to a 380acre WYDOT-owned site located south of Interstate 80 near the Campstool Road interchange. The Laramie County Commission recently approved a zone change for this plot of land to allow the move. Over 400 Wyoming lawyers gathering for bar meeting CHEYENNE. (AP) — More than 400 lawyers from across the state are gathering for the Wyoming State Bar’s annual conference in Cheyenne this week. Former vice-president Dick Cheney, all five justices from the Wyoming Supreme Court and Rep. Mary Throne will be among those speaking at the conference, which starts Tuesday at the Little America hotel. Some lawyers plan to skip Cheney’s appearance because the bar published unedited biography submitted by Cheney in which he criticized President Barack Obama for his handling of foreign policy. The state bar is a quasigovernmental entity that administers the legal profession using some taxpayer money. The conference runs through Thursday at the Little America hotel. Enrollment at UW inches up LARAMIE (AP) — Enrollment at the University of Wyoming is climbing despite earlier predictions that it was falling because of economic conditions. University officials say enrollment at the main campus in Laramie has increased by 179 students while enrollment at the UW Outreach School has dropped by 79 students compared to last year. The Laramie Boomerang reports that UW Vice President Chris Boswell said last week that UW was anticipating a 2-percent decline in enrollment this fall. Sara Axelson is UW vice president for student affairs. She says the university is delighted with the increase. Decree sets water-rights for Big Horn River basin CASPER (AP) — A Wyoming judge has signed a decree to end 37 years of water-rights cases in the Big Horn River basin. The proceedings began in 1977 with a complaint meant to decide how to divide the rights between federal, tribal and state interests. The Casper Star-Tribune reports the decree signed by Judge Robert E. Skar Friday finalizes all of the interim orders that have been entered over the years. The ruling will be finalized after a final appeal period. State Engineer Pat Tyrrell says federal and tribal water rights are now clear. Eastern Shoshone Attorney General Kimberly Varilek says the process caused some discord among Native American tribes, but their rights are mostly assured. Big Horn water rights cases will be returned to the jurisdiction of the state engineer’s office. A 3 Open 0909.qxp_A Section Template 9/9/14 10:53 AM Page 1 TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 2014 www.thesheridanpress.com SCSD2 enrollment up; staff considers ways to solve water problem at Coffeen school BY ALISA BRANTZ THE SHERIDAN PRESS SHERIDAN — Sheridan County School District 2 is 10 days into the 2014-15 school year and numbers show that enrollment districtwide is up, again. Director of Elementary Education Scott Stults reported that total elementary enrollment was up 93 students from last year including the largest kindergarten class yet, which is up 35 students from 2013. “The secret is no longer a secret as to why people come here,” he said. “We’re not seeing large industry bringing thousands of people, we’re seeing a genuine increase in population. It’s extremely optimistic to continue to see growth at the elementary level.” Stults explained that the apparent disparity between class counts with 344 kindergarteners and 273 first-graders is not all due to kindergarten growth or student loss — though some students did move. The kindergarten figures include classic kindergarten students who will enter regular kindergarten next year, rather than first grade. The district’s smallest school, Story School, has also seen growth not only in students but also in teachers. Due to anticipated growth, a half-time teacher was added over the summer to assist in the second- through fifthgrade classroom. Total enrollment at Story is 26 students this year after only having 18 last year. Stults was quick to add that there is no concern of outgrowing the Story School, as the building houses three classrooms and is currently only utilizing two of those. Assistant Superintendent for Instruction Terry Burgess reported that enrollment at the secondary level is up overall, but not across the board as Sheridan Junior High School dipped to 691 students. However, with current enrollment of younger classes and anticipated continued growth, the junior high expects to see an increase of approximately 150 students in the next four years. The junior high should now have the room to accommodate anticipated growth as Fort Mackenzie High School and The Wright Place have officially moved to the Old Highland Park School and SJHS has reclaimed use of the Early Building. SJHS Principal Mitch Craft reported 11 teachers have been moved to the Early Building including aquatics, Spanish, art, agriculture, computer technology, one PE teacher and a few special education classrooms. Band and orchestra have been there all along. “What we were able to do is move beyond shared classrooms this year, we had a few people who were doubling up in the past,” Craft said. “And also we were using rooms that were designed as intervention rooms, essentially they are really tiny classrooms and they weren’t intended for teaching space. We’ve restored those as intervention rooms. We were kind of cramped and now we’re able to spread out a little bit.” This shift was made possible by elementary students leaving the old Highland Park School to move into the newly constructed Henry A. Coffeen Elementary. Superintendent Craig Dougherty stated the teachers, students and principal are loving their new facilities, he noted one small issue. “As you can see, sometimes there is an awful lot of water in one area of the field,” he said, adding that Facilities Director Julie Carroll is on the case. “She’s trying to find the short-term solution but also the sustainable longterm plan.” Carroll said the district is looking at why it is retaining so much water back there, as the area was engineered to hold 1.5 times the historical amount of water that gathers there. “It’s always held water back there, it’s just because we did new construction that people notice it more. We put in a big perforated field of gravel back there that is supposed to be plenty sufficient to hold it,” she said. “It should all sit about two feet below the surface from the calculations we have and the geotechnical reports that were done four years ago before we even built the building.” Carroll said the excess water may be a result of the wet spring we had, the irrigation that was done with construction, the excessive water required to set the new sod or even causes yet unknown. “If we’re really going to be taking on so much water back there we may as well use it for our benefit,” she said stating that one option is to pump the water for irrigation. “If we want to recycle that water because it has taken on more than it normally has, that would obviously be an expense, needing a new system, but in the long run it would save on city water. But that is just one possibility we’re looking at.” Carroll stated there is no danger to the students and no costs for remediation have been determined. In other business: • SJHS teacher Lorna Poulsen was named District Teacher of the Year and Jackie Jackson was named Classified Staff Member of the Year. • Mitch Craft provided an update on the Graduation Counts committee efforts and shared the next meeting would be Oct. 1. • A 3-D printer was purchased from Stratasys uPrint SE for approximately $22,500. • A bid for bus video surveillance equipment and installation from 247 Security of Alpharetta, Georgia, was accepted at $52,745. • A donation of 100 backpacks full of school supplies was accepted from the Sheridan Angels. • Sheridan Memorial Hospital was approved to be the provider of the district’s Workforce Wellness Screening services. • After a 38-minute executive session the board voted to approve the revised personnel action report as presented. THE SHERIDAN PRESS Falling tree kills 6-year-old Cheyenne student CHEYENNE (AP) — A 6year-old Cheyenne girl has died after a tree fell on her while her family was cutting firewood in Albany County over the weekend. Sheriff ’s Deputy Sgt. Jeff Beeston says Annabell Brookshire died at a Colorado hospital on Saturday. Beeston says the accident was reported around 11 a.m. Saturday, and occurred on a Forest Service road near state Highway 230, southeast of Laramie. He tells the Wyoming Tribune Eagle that the tree fell in the wrong direction and hit the bed of the pickup where the girl was. The child was taken to Ivinson Memorial Hospital in Laramie and was later airlifted to Colorado, where she died.

PARK: Council approves purchase of new truck for town of Dayton FROM 1 Town officials have discussed the possibility of burning the house down as an exercise for volunteers with Dayton Fire and Rescue. The asbestos inspection will provide information on what needs to be done with the house, if anything, before demolition. The second expenditure for the new property will be paid to CDS Excavation, owned by Dayton resident Chris Scharen, to tear down the two sheds and haul all the contents and debris to the Sheridan landfill. Scharen estimated a total cost of $2,200 for the day’s worth of work, plus the tipping fee at the landfill. The council scheduled a work study at 7 p.m. Sept. 23 at Dayton Town Hall to allow community input on how the property should be developed. Council members also approved paying CDS Excavation to haul boulders out of the Tongue River near the gazebo in Scott Park. The swimming hole created by a J-hook placed in the river at that location filled with boulders and rocks during spring run-off, decreasing the depth of the hole from approximately 5 feet deep to ankle-deep, Wood said. Scharen estimated it would take a half-day to excavate the location, and his daily rate for use of his track hoe and haul truck is $2,200. When the J-hooks were placed in the Tongue River, Sheridan County Conservation District staff indicated maintenance would be needed, Wood said. The Army Corps of Engineers has approved the excavation project. Wood said he hopes this will restore one of the kids’ favorite swimming holes, as well as the fishing in the area. Also on Monday, Dayton Town Council approved the purchase of a new truck for the town. The 1999 half-ton truck the town currently uses is wearing out and no longer fit for trips to Sheridan hauling loads of recycling, green waste and more, Wood said. The town received four bids for trucks ranging in price from $24,583 to $29,371 for a three-quarter ton truck. The lowest bid of $24,583 came from Fremont Motors in Lander and includes the delivery fee. The bid was accepted after Councilmen Bob Alley and Norm Anderson verified that the truck’s specifications would meet the needs of the town. Although three Sheridan car dealers also submitted bids, the council is required by state statute to accept the lowest bid unless that bid does not meet required qualifications. In other business, Dayton Town Council: • tabled a request for approval of a minor plat for Brad and Wanda Johnston at 712 Main Street. Wanda Johnson said she and her husband wanted to wait until all the details were worked out before presenting the final minor plat for what will eventually become a farmers market north of the Mountain Inn Bar. • awarded the Yard of the Month for August to Jason and Christina Rainey at 15 Woodrock Road, the Most Improved Residential Property for 2014 to Gary A3 and Kathy Reynolds at 849 Main St. and the Most Improved Commercial Property for 2014 to Craig Boheler and Elaine Stevens at 408 Main St. The yard and property awards are chosen each summer by the previous summer’s winners. • made several announcements about upcoming meetings and events, including: 1.

Living, working, raising a family, growing older against the backdrop of the spectacular setting of the Bighorn Mountains is enticing and appealing to almost all of the community. Before there was a community, there were no written records or oral history; the natives were called Nameless Ones. But our history is intact by tracing the stories of a Letters must be signed and include an address and telephone number – which will not be published – for verification purposes.

It is these caricatures of our area that paint the history canvas. The broad range of economic prosperity in the Sheridan area is not the result of its special location, but more the offspring of its residents’ involvement. It is the care and concern of each individual to acknowledge their neighbors in the spirit of common humanity. We rely on the support and trust that our politicians will make the best choices possible for the common good. That our teachers will present the best and latest material for the advancement of our students. Many of our current issues of trust in the community have a base in mutual respect and past experience. People work long hours sideby-side to provide good streets, water, parks and pathways for a common cause. So, with the right attitude, we can create a positive cycle to move forward into the future of the community. Simply by shifting our attitude toward positive changes, we can proactively create changes toward benefit just from our sense of individual empowerment. Just knowing how to respond and having the skill in the face of a crisis situation is not enough needed to navigate toward future events. While it will be the external circumstances that affect or trigger our reactions to the changes in our future, it is our attitude that can attract with optimism. All of us working together in service of the greater good can result in a better world and a better community. I urge you to get involved, volunteer, vote, promote and support the organizations in the community you believe in. Don’t let Sheridan “dry-up and disappear” like many towns throughout this country. Let’s not pursue antiquated sources of venture or dead end enterprises. Participate. Be part of the change. Joseph Barani Sheridan QUOTABLES | FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS “Almost every single county on Earth has a role to play in eliminating the ISIL threat and the evil that it represents.” — Secretary of State John Kerry on Islamic State militants rampaging through Syria and Iraq. “It’s something we saw for the first time today, all of us. It changed things, of course. It made things a little bit different.” — Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh after a video was released showing running back Ray Rice striking his then-fiancee in February. Rice was cut by the team and suspended indefinitely by the NFL. Cheap politicians end up being expensive politicians T he recent bribery convictions of former Virginia governor Bob McDonnell and his wife are only the latest in a seemingly never-ending series of convictions of government officials. A little item on the Internet featured government officials in prison, either currently or in recent times. Among them were a mayor of New Orleans, a mayor of Detroit and a mayor of Washington; a governor of Connecticut, a governor of Louisiana, two governors of Illinois and four members of Congress. However much these and other government officials may have richly deserved being THOMAS behind bars, the counSOWELL try does not deserve to | have its confidence in government repeatedly undermined. A country with 100 percent cynicism about its government cannot be governed. And nobody wants anarchy. In short, the damage done by government officials who betray the public's trust goes far beyond the money stolen or misused, or whatever particular abuse of power landed them behind bars. The difference between a government united behind its leaders and a government where no leader can take decisive action with an assurance of public support is a difference between a country that can, and a country that cannot, deal effectively with the challenges it will inevitably face, whether at home or abroad. When President John F. Kennedy took DROP US A LINE | 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. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 2014 the United States to the brink of nuclear war in 1962 — justifiably, I believe — he did so with more public support than any president could muster today, even though Kennedy had been elected with the thinnest of margins. His immediate successors — Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon — were both big-time liars who lost the implicit trust that previous presidents had enjoyed, and that none has enjoyed since, even when these later presidents were truthful. Like many other things, public confidence is much easier to maintain than it is to repair. The main beneficiaries are the public themselves, when they have governments that keep faith with them and can better serve them while relying on their support. Most of the things that have landed government officials behind bars have involved money. Without making excuses for those individuals, who were all old enough to know better, the rest of us need to face up to the fact that we are being incredibly penny wise and pound foolish with the salaries we pay for those who control millions of dollars at the municipal level, billions of dollars at the state level and trillions of dollars at the federal level. A successful economist, engineer or surgeon who leaves the private sector to become a member of Congress would take a serious pay cut. A Corporate CEO would have to take an even bigger pay cut to become President of the United States. If the current mess in Washington doesn't convince us that we need better people in public office, it is hard to know what could. What do we do when we want a more upscale product — a better house or car for example? We pay more to get it! If we want better people in government, we are going to have to start paying them enough that people would not be sacrificing their families' well-being by going to Washington or a state capitol, or serving as a judge. It is not a question of whether the people currently serving in Congress, the courts or as chief executives at the municipal, state or national level deserve a raise. Most of them don't. It is a question of whether we need far better replacements for them. That means drawing from a wider pool, including people with real knowledge and expertise in the private sector, who currently make a lot more money than we are paying government officials. Cheap politicians turn out to be very expensive politicians, in the way they waste money, even if they are not stealing it. We could pay every member of Congress a million dollars a year — for a whole century — for less than it costs to run the Department of Agriculture for one year. The least we can do is make it harder to bribe them. Trying to bribe a millionaire would at least be harder than bribing some government official with a modest salary and a couple of kids going to expensive colleges. The biggest obstacle to doing so is envy, especially under its more lofty name, "social justice."

Apple to reveal its next big thing SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Apple is poised to reveal its next big thing Tuesday in a crucial attempt to prove its technological tastemakers still have the power to mesmerize the masses. The trend-setting company is expected to rouse the still-slumbering market for wearable computers with a smartwatch or bracelet equipped to monitor health, help manage homes and even buy merchandise. Apple is a late arrival to this relatively new niche: several other companies already sell smartwatches that are being greeted with widespread indifference. If any company can transform the landscape, it’s likely to be Apple Inc. after the company shifted the direction of digital technology with the iPod, iPhone and iPad. Other MP3 music players, smartphones and tablet computers were first to market, but the devices didn’t enthrall consumers until Apple imbued them with a sense of elegance, convenience and wizardry. “It means more to us to get it right than to be first,” Apple CEO Tim Cook explained to analysts earlier this year. Apple is likely to provide the first peek at its wearable device at an event set to begin at 10 a.m. PDT in the same Silicon Valley auditorium where Apple’s late co-founder, Steve Jobs, unveiled the industry-shifting Mac computer 25 years ago. Rumors have been swirling that U2, one of Jobs’ favorite musical groups, will perform live to promote its new album, as well as Apple’s latest gadgetry, which is likely to include an iPhone with a larger screen. As usual, Apple hasn’t said what’s on tap, though the company’s top execu- tives have repeatedly promised major breakthroughs without providing any details. “The location suggests this will be a historic event and the historic aspect will be their movement into a new category,” predicted technology analyst and longtime Apple watcher Tim Bajarin. After Tuesday’s glimpse, it still may be several months before people get a chance to wear the device. There’s speculation that the smartwatch won’t be available until early next year, although Apple is expected to take orders during the holiday shopping season. A smartwatch or hightech bracelet would mark the first time that Apple Inc. has rolled out a new product line since the iPad’s release nearly fourand-half years ago. In that time, the Cupertino, California, company, has been sprucing up its selection of iPhones, iPads and Macs with new models each year since Jobs died in October 2011 after a long battle with cancer. The innovation void raised questions as to whether Apple’s creativity was fading under Cook.

She was 46. Glynn was with her husband, Joe Foust, when the storm rolled quickly into the area, just north of Chicago, the executive director of First Folio Theatre and a close family friend, David Rice, said Sunday. “Molly was one of the most loving and generous people in the Chicago theater scene,” he said. “She was incredibly talented — incredibly versatile. She could handle both comedy and the deepest darkest, dramas.” Glynn’s husband called 911 just before 4 p.m. on Friday to say his wife had been injured, Cook County Sheriff ’s Office spokeswoman Sophia Ansari said. NorthShore Evanston Hospital spokeswoman Colette Urban confirmed Glynn died Saturday. Glynn had an audition earlier in the day Friday and she and her husband had decided to go for a ride. The inclement weather took them by surprise and the tree slammed into Glynn as the couple sought to ride to safety, Rice said. “It was a freak accident and a matter of being in the wrong place at the wrong time,” he said. Others in the theater community in and around Chicago also expressed shock and sadness. “It is an incalculable loss,” said Michael Halberstam, the artistic director of the Glencoebased Writers Theatre. “She was a loving mother and wife and everyone who met her fell in love with her.” Glynn grew up in Hartford, Connecticut, Rice said. In addition to her husband, she is also survived by two teenage sons. Noel Hinners, former NASA scientist, dies at 78 LITTLETON, Colo. (AP) — Noel Hinners, a former chief scientist for NASA who helped plan the scientific exploration of the moon for the Apollo program and later oversaw projects such as the Mars Surveyor Program, has died. Hinners’ brother Bill Hinners said Saturday that Hinners died Friday after battling a brain tumor. He was 78. Hinners began his meteoric space career in 1963 by helping plan the lunar exploration, and he was just 33 when Apollo 11 landed on the moon. He worked on the Apollo program until 1972, when he became the space agency’s director of lunar programs. Hinners later served as the director of the National Air and Space Museum in Washington and the director of the Goddard Space Flight Center. He retired from NASA as its third-ranking executive in 1989. At Lockheed Martin Corp., Hinners was a vice president of flight systems whose responsibilities included NASA’s Mars Surveyor Program and Stardust, the first program dedicated to exploring a comet. “He was invaluable to the U.S.,” Bill Hinners said, adding that among his brother’s contributions were his efforts to recruit high school students into careers in science. “His spunk and personality and willpower to go on is what made him work so well with people.” Today’s Highlight in History: On September 9, 1776, the second Continental Congress made the term “United States” official, replacing “United Colonies.” On this date: In 1543, Mary Stuart was crowned Queen of Scots at Stirling Castle, nine months after she was born. In 1893, Frances Cleveland, wife of President Grover Cleveland, gave birth to a daughter, Esther, in the White House; it was the first time a president’s child was born in the executive mansion. In 1919, some 1,100 members of Boston’s 1,500-man police force went on strike. (The strike was broken by Massachusetts Gov. Calvin Coolidge with replacement officers.) In 1926, the National Broadcasting Co. (NBC) was incorporated by the Radio Corp. of America. In 1932, the steamboat Observation exploded in New York’s East River, killing 72 people. In 1948, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea) was declared. In 1956, Elvis Presley made the first of three appearances on “The Ed Sullivan Show.” In 1971, prisoners seized control of the maximum-security Attica Correctional Facility near Buffalo, New York, beginning a siege that ended up claiming 43 lives. In 1976, Communist Chinese leader Mao Zedong died in Beijing at age 82. In 1986, Frank Reed, director of a private school in Lebanon, was taken hostage; he was released 44 months later. In 1997, Sinn Fein, the IRA’s political ally, formally renounced violence as it took its place in talks on Northern Ireland’s future. Actor Burgess Meredith died in Malibu, California, at age 89. Ten years ago: Secretary of State Colin Powell told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that abuses by government-supported Arab militias in Sudan qualified as genocide against the black African population in the Darfur region. A powerful car bomb exploded outside the Australian Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia, killing at least 9 people, including the bomber. Five years ago: In a speech to a joint session of Congress, President Barack Obama summoned lawmakers to enact sweeping health care legislation, declaring the “time for bickering is over.” (In an extraordinary breach of congressional decorum, Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., shouted “You lie!” when the president said illegal immigrants would not benefit from his proposals; Wilson ended up apologizing.) British commandos in Afghanistan freed New York Times reporter Stephen Farrell from Taliban captors, but one commando and a Times translator were killed. One year ago: Four days of vehicular gridlock began near the George Washington Bridge when two of three approach lanes from Fort Lee, New Jersey, were blocked off; the traffic jam was later blamed on loyalists to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie over the refusal of Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich to endorse Christie for re-election. (Christie has denied any prior knowledge of the lane closures.)

Fritz, 87, passed away on Friday, September 5, 2014, at the Billings Clinic following cardiac surgery. He was born on October 23, 1926, in Edgemont, South Dakota, to parents Leland Ruwee Marvin L. Fritz Fritz and Florence (Witter) Fritz. Marvin married Venida Mary Prentice on October 25, 1943. They met when she moved to Edgemont to work at the nearby Black Hills Army Ordnance Depot during World War II. He joined the U.S. Army in 1945, and while home on leave in the Black Hills prior to shipping overseas they heard shouting and car horns signaling that the war had ended. He spent the following year in the Philippines helping process troops home from the war. Marvin and Venida had been married for over 65 years when she passed away at their Sheridan home on January 11, 2009. Music was his livelihood.

A8 THE SHERIDAN PRESS www.thesheridanpress.com TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 2014 PORT: Administrative review FROM 1 “It’s pretty clear the politics of coal overshadowed this process from the beginning.” Port of Morrow general manager Gary Neal said the permit denial sets new regulatory precedent that has the risk of curbing future development opportunities. “We are appealing so that this political decision does not limit economic opportunity in rural Oregon,” he said in a statement. Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber, a Democrat, has been a vocal opponent of the terminal and voiced his support of the agency’s decision in a statement last month. Kitzhaber said Columbia River Tribes have fundamental rights to fisheries, and projects that affect them should be held to a high standard. The appeals will move through an administrative review process, Curtis said. She said it’s possible the issue ultimately could wind up at the state court of appeals. Ambre Energy proposed bringing coal by train to Boardman, Oregon, where it would be loaded on barges at the Port of Morrow and sent more than 200 miles down the Columbia River to the Port of St. Helens. There, it would be transferred to oceangoing ships. The river is the border between Oregon and Washington. The application to build the coal terminal aroused fierce public opposition, said Brett VandenHuevel, executive director of Columbia Riverkeeper, a watchdog group that fought against the Ambre terminal permit. “There’s been an overwhelming concern in opposition about sending coal through Oregon down the Columbia River,” VandenHuevel said. “Twenty-thousand people commented on Ambre’s application alone. There was record-setting attendance at public hearings, thousands of health professionals. I’ve never seen anything like it, how much concern there is about this project.” The Hood River, Oregon, man said his group and others are concerned with all aspects of the proposal to move coal across Oregon and down the Columbia River and will continue to fight it. “Oregon complied with the law and concluded that a dirty coal export is too harmful for our river and for our salmon fishery,” VandenHuevel said. “Wyoming’s political efforts aren’t going to change that fact.” THE SHERIDAN PRESS | JUSTIN SHEELY Raising money for MASH Shirley Yager, left, and Renetta Mischke, center, visit with Wanda Hanebrink from their “helicopter” during the “Drive for a Cause” four-person golf scramble at the Powder Horn Saturday.

They bought the historic building last September, and moved from Cheyenne to open it on June 30. They originally just bought the building as a residence, but once they moved here and learned the history of the building, along with a little push from the community, they decided to turn it into a business. The Dayton Mercantile was originally built in 1882 by Henry Baker. The Stevens said that the railroad at one time wanted to come into Dayton instead of Ranchester, but Baker wanted twice as much money as the land was worth so the railroad never came back. “They say Dayton would have been bigger than Sheridan if the railroad was here,” Craig Stevens said. The Stevens remodeled everything from the plumbing to the electricity in the historic spot, and opened up for business at the end of June. Elaine Stevens makes kettle corn next door and sells it in the shop. Along with candy and corn, the Stevens also sell all Wyoming items, such as honey, candy, jewelery and antiques out of Sheridan. Even the music softly playing in the background is from local bands. The upstairs of the building is called Croghan’s Hall and Henry Croghan built the dance floor that is still there. It is the oldest ballroom in the state of Wyoming, according to the Stevens. The floors, both upstairs and down, are still the original. Upstairs, there is a fascinating private wildlife gallery collection, that Craig Stevens said is available to customers for viewing. It features beautiful North American game as well as exotic animals from Africa and New Zealand, totaling about 150 mounts. Elaine Stevens said they felt a responsibility to turn the building into a business, THE SHERIDAN PRESS | KENDRA COUSINEAU Elaine and Craig Stevens are the new owners of the Dayton Mercantile and have worked to bring the historic building back to life for the community. and they wanted to keep a “cowboy Western” theme. The theme fits the couple perfectly; Craig Stevens was a bareback rider for 13 years. They said that since they have been open they have had visitors from 17 countries come in, and the local response is flattering. “We’ve got overwhelming response from Home Depot confirms breach in US, Canada stores NEW YORK (AP) — Shares of Home Depot sank before the opening bell Tuesday after confirming that its payment systems had been hacked, potentially exposing millions of shoppers who used credit and debit cards at its more than 2,000 U.S. and Canadian stores. The breach could turn out to be one of the biggest in history. Home Depot did not say how many cards might be affected, but the largest U.S. home improvement chain did say late Monday that its investigation into the breach goes as far back as April. The news comes nearly a week after a website that focuses on cybersecurity reported on Tuesday a possible hack of Home Depot’s data. The company said later that day that it was investigating the potential breach. “We apologize for the frustration and anxiety this causes the community,” Elaine Stevens said. “Everybody that comes in says ‘we are so thankful that you got the merc going again.’” The building has been for sale since 2005, and although it remained that way, businesses have come and gone in the blink of an eye. “One 90-year-old lady came in and she our customers, and I want to thank them for their patience and support as we work through this issue,” Chairman and CEO Frank Blake said in a press release. Home Depot is the latest retailer to have a data breach. Others include Target, luxury retailer Neiman Marcus, grocer Supervalu, restaurant chain P.F. Chang’s and the thrift store operations of Goodwill. In December, Target Corp. disclosed a massive data breach that was the second-largest in history, resulting in the theft of 40 million debit and credit card numbers and the potential exposure of personal information of up to 70 million shoppers. Forrester Research analyst John Kindervag said the Home Depot breach could affect similar numbers of shoppers or cards, noting that months’ worth of data may have been compromised. “From what I’m hearing, people think this will be as big as Target or bigger,” he said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. The retail breaches have rattled shoppers’ confidence at a time when privacy concerns are high. It’s also increased pressure on retailers to increase security so that customers can feel safe that their personal data is secure when they’re out shopping. Retailers, banks and card companies have responded to the breaches by speeding the adoption of microchips in U.S. credit and debit cards. That technology helps makes transactions more secure. started crying, saying, ‘I wish my friend could see this,’” Stevens said. “Her and her friend worked here when they were little girls.” The Dayton Mercantile will be closed until next Friday, and then the Stevens plan to re-open for their winter hours, which will be Friday through Sundays, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Home Depot, which said malware was used in the hack, has announced that it plans to have chip-enabled checkout terminals at all of its U.S. stores by the end of this year. In the meantime, the Atlanta company said its IT department also is looking into the breach and is working with outside firms, its banking partners, and the U.S. Secret Service. It added that customers will not be held responsible for fraudulent charges to their accounts. The possible breach at Home Depot was first reported by Brian Krebs of Krebs on Security. Krebs said multiple banks reported “evidence that Home Depot stores may be the source of a massive new batch of stolen credit and debit cards.” If Target’s breach is any indication, the fallout from the Home Depot breach could be severe. The Target hack cost the company hurt the company’s profit and revenue. Target’s chief information officer and CEO both stepped down in the months after the hack. “I would think if you’re a member of the board of directors, somebody has to be the sacrificial lamb for this,” Kindervag, the Forrester analyst, said about Home Depot’s breach. Home Depot already has had some fallout. Its shares fell 41 cents to $90.41 in premarket trading Tuesday. Before the potential breach was announced, Home Depot said in August that Blake would step down as CEO on Nov. 1. He will be replaced by Craig Menear, president of the company’s U.S. retail operations.

The girls didn’t place as a team because they didn’t have enough players. Coach Mila Stender said the two-day tournament was challenging for her team, as it tested their focus. “We have a lot of different things to concentrate on and work to improve on in practice and will get after it the next two weeks,” Stender said.

The golf team will compete at the Kendrick Golf Course in Sheridan on Friday. Chargers lose opener 18-17 to Arizona GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — San Diego’s defense held up well when the offense sputtered. Once the offense showed signs of life, the defense couldn’t hold up its end. Instead of opening the season with a win, the Chargers started it feeling as if they left one behind in the desert. Philip Rivers led two scoring drives in the third quarter, but San Diego’s defense allowed Arizona to rally with two in the fourth quarter of an 18-17 loss to the Cardinals Monday night. “Tough one to lose, obviously,” Chargers coach Mike McCoy said. “Didn’t play well enough in the fourth quarter, being up and not finishing the game. That’s what it comes down to: When the game was on the line, we didn’t make enough football plays as a team in all phases of the game.” San Diego had some questions on the defensive line heading into the season, but that group was solid early, getting some decent pressure through the first three quarters. The Chargers held the Cardinals to a pair of field goals in the first half — one came after a turnover by San Diego’s offense — and Jerry Attaochu set up their only points in the opening 30 minutes by blocking Drew Butler’s punt. Attaochu also stripped Carson Palmer for a fumble that the Chargers recovered in the third quarter, setting up another score. The offense, despite all the playmakers on that side of the ball, clunked through the first half as one drive after another stalled. Once the third quarter started, the offense clicked, racing 80 yards in seven plays for a 6-yard touchdown pass from Rivers to Malcom Floyd.

The golf day benefited the Medical Advancements for Sheridan Hospital program, or MASH, for Sheridan Memorial Hospital. ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Ray Rice and Janay Palmer can be heard shouting obscenities at each other, and she appears to spit in the face of the three-time Pro Bowl running back right before he throws a brutal punch in a video shown to The Associated Press by a law enforcement official. The video, shown to the AP Monday night, includes audio and is longer than the grainy TMZ Sports video released earlier that day. After the TMZ video made its way around the Internet, the Baltimore Ravens cut Rice and the league suspended him indefinitely. Rice was originally suspended for two games and coaches and others had praised his behavior since the arrest for striking his thenfiancee in February. The videos show Rice and Palmer in an elevator at an Atlantic City casino. Each hits the other before Rice knocks Palmer off her feet and into a railing. Months ago, a TMZ video showed Rice dragging Palmer, now his wife, from the elevator at the Revel casino, which closed on Sept. 2. The higher-quality video shown to the AP shows Rice made no attempt to cover up the incident. After Palmer collapses, he drags her out of the elevator and is met by some hotel staff. One of them can be heard saying, “She’s drunk, right?” And then, “No cops.” But Rice didn’t respond. The video was shown to the AP on condition of anonymity because the official isn’t authorized to release it. Coach John Harbaugh said he met with Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti, team president Dick Cass and general manager Ozzie Newsome after they saw the TMZ video, and they made the decision to let Rice go. “It’s something we saw for the first time today, all of us,” Harbaugh said. “It changed things, of course. It made things a little bit different.” The action represented a complete reversal for the team, even though an Atlantic City police summons stated that Rice caused “bodily injury to Janay Palmer, specifically by striking her with his hand, rendering her unconscious.” The Ravens had used words like “respect” and “proud” in referring to Rice following his arrest. When the NFL announced Rice’s two-game suspension for domestic violence on July 24, Newsome said: “We respect the efforts Ray has made to become the best partner and father he can be. That night was not typical of the Ray Rice we know and respect. We believe that he will not let that one night define who he is, and he is determined to make sure something like this never happens again. Asked Monday night if Rice misled him, Harbaugh said he didn’t want to get into “all that.” “I don’t think of it that way. Everything I said in terms of what I believe, I stand by,” he said. “I believe that still, and I’ll always believe those things, and (we’ll) always stand in support of them as a couple, and that’s not going to change.” Rice said in a news conference this summer that his actions that night were “inexcusable.” But the Ravens never took action against him until after the second video was released. The NFL, which has been working hard to promote the game to women, also took action after the explicit video was released. Commissioner Roger Goodell announced that, based on the new video evidence, Rice has been suspended indefinitely. “We requested from law enforcement any and all information about the incident, including the video from inside the elevator,” NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Monday morning. “That video was not made available to us and no one in our office has seen it until today.” Rice’s lawyer, Michael Diamondstein, declined to comment when contacted by The Associated Press. Rice, 27, stood to make $4 million this year. “Obviously, any video that depicts an act of violence in that video is disturbing to watch. For our union, we have an unshakable position against any violence, certainly domestic violence included,” NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith said at the Seahawks’ facility in Renton, Washington. “It will be a time for us now to catch up with everything else that has occurred today.” He had been charged with felony aggravated assault in the case, but in May he was accepted into a pretrial intervention program that allowed him to avoid jail time and could lead to the charge being purged from his record.

OZ & ROIZEN Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Michael Roizen MARY WORTH by Karen Moy and Joe Giella BORN LOSER® by Art and Chip Sansom When Robert De Niro, Michael Douglas, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Kline joined forces in "Last Vegas," an old man's version of "The Hangover," they proved that experience and talent can't protect you from sickening Viagra jokes. But a high-dose flu vaccine can protect that same over-the-hill crowd from a pretty sickening virus. That's really good news, because influenza is especially tough on those 65 and older. Seniors account for 90 percent of deaths related to the flu, even though they're far more likely to get inoculated than younger folks. Almost 70 percent of people 65 and older get their shots, while only around 26 percent of those 18-49 do. So if you're 65-plus, how can you increase your chances of dodging the flu this season? Try the highdose trivalent vaccine; it covers three types of flu and delivers four times as much vaccine as the standard trivalent inoculation. The result: It increases protection against the flu by 24 percent! This is important because standard flu vaccines aren't all that effective among 65plussers. Against last year's most virulent H3N2 infection, the standard trivalent vaccine was only 9 percent effective -- and overall it was only 27 percent effective. So, boosting the vaccine's fighting power to close to 50 percent is a huge health bonanza for seniors. (Among younger folks, the standard shots are 70 percent to 90 percent effective.) Another option for people who are 65-plus? A standard quadrivalent vaccine that protects against four strains. Talk with your doctor about your best option, and then get your shot as soon as the vaccine is available! DEAR ABBY Pauline Phillips and Jeanne Phillips GARFIELD by Jim Davis FRANK & ERNEST® by Bob Thaves REX MORGAN, M.D. by Woody Wilson and Tony DiPreta ZITS® by Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman DILBERT by S. Adams ALLEY OOP® by Dave Graue and Jack Bender DEAR ABBY: "Surfing in Petersburg, Ill." (June 17) raised good points about men who use online dating services. However, many of the things she pointed out could also be said of women who put their ads on the sites. The pickings are just as slim on our side of the fence. My hints to the "fairer sex": (1) Don't overdo your makeup and hair in your photos. While some makeup can enhance a lady's look, we aren't seeking someone who looks ready to go trick-ortreating or perform as a clown in the circus. (2) Decent men don't want to see ALL of your physical attributes on these sites. Dress appropriately for your age and don't allow the "girls" to burst out of your low neckline. (3) Don't start your first conversation with, "What do you do and how much money do you make?" Intelligent men will realize that you are not as concerned with finding a quality guy as you are with looking for a fat wallet. (4) You don't have to speak perfectly, but the teen lingo and texting abbreviations are a real turn-off. (5) Don't constantly complain about your ex. It provides insight as to why he opted to break off your relationship or file for divorce. -DAN IN OHIO DEAR DAN: Thanks for the input. I had a hunch my male readers would react to "Surfing's" observations. Read on: DEAR ABBY: To the ladies, I advise: Don't post a 10-yearold photo as being the way you currently look. And don't lie about your marital status or the number of times you've been married. These will come back to haunt you. "A few extra pounds" does not mean 100 pounds overweight. If you are obese, admit it and say you are working on getting the weight off -- and make sure you are. -- EARLE IN TEXAS DEAR ABBY: For women who post photos of their pets, it's great that you love them, but I'm only looking to date their OWNER. Same thing for travelogue photos with no one in them -- what's the point? And if you say you are active with an athletic body, I'd like to see it. Descriptions can be subjective, and your perception might be different from mine. -- DONE MY TIME ONLINE DEAR ABBY: Selfies in the bathroom mirror are tacky. Have a friend take a picture of you. Avoid taking photos of specific body parts (lips, feet, etc.). It's low-class. Describe yourself in detailed terms. Every woman says she's down-to-earth, decent-looking, caring and smart. A little originality goes a long way! -- LOOKING IN LANSING, MICH. DEAR ABBY: A woman should never post her previous wedding picture when looking for a new life partner. Photos with the ex that you've ripped down the middle or cropped don't work any better. We can still see his arm around you holding the 40-ounce beer, and it's not a good image for us. And ladies, if you're looking for someone to sweep you out of that crappy life you're in, forget it. Fix your life first to the point where you can enjoy it by yourself, and then look for someone to share it with. We guys like our fixeruppers to be houses or cars, not our women. -- FOUND MY QUEEN ON A SITE DEAR ABBY: I was taken aback by "Surfing's" advice against facial hair. My beard is part of who I am. Assuming it is "hiding something" signals you may have trust issues with men. If you don't like what you see, move on! -- HAPPILY HIRSUTE IN MISSISSIPPI Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

I am told that most have formaldehyde in the fabric -- except organic sheets. And wrinkle-free have the highest percentage of formaldehyde. Any hints? -- A Reader, via email Yes, I have hints! Don't fret too much. You are not sleeping on a time bomb of formaldehyde! The component that helps keep fabrics wrinkle-free may contain a small amount of formaldehyde. But unless you are highly sensitive or sleep with your nose buried in the sheet the whole night, there should not be a problem. If you are concerned, follow these hints to a healthy sleep, and feel comfortable wearing new clothes. First, wash all new clothing and bedsheets a time or two before wearing or using. This TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 2014 also helps remove some of the "sizing" and will make most sheets feel softer. When shopping for new clothing or sheets, look for labels that state "chemicalfree" or "formaldehydefree."

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A set of temporary conditions can create a rift with a loved one. If you imagine the worst and let it show, others will sense your fears and react accordingly. Avoid giving anyone the wrong impression today. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may be challenged to maintain a calm and poised attitude as you deal with subtle misunderstandings and sudden about-faces.

Put relationships on a comfortable basis by being warm and friendly, not pushy. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may expect to be treated like royalty, but first you should set a good example by treating your loyal subjects with courtesy and consideration.

Today's deal "souns" like yesterday's, with one key change. How does that alter how South plays in three no-trump after West leads the heart queen and East signals encouragingly with his seven? North's two-diamond rebid was a reverse because when South wished to give preference to North's firstbid suit, he had to rebid at the three-level. The reverse promised a maximum opening bid: a good 17 to 20 highcard points. The simplest agreement is that a reverse Phillip Alder is game-forcing. You will occasionally get too high, but maybe the defense will be imperfect. (The tournament world uses a responder's rebid of fourth suit or two no-trump, whichever is the cheaper, as a signal that the responder's hand is very weak. But that is complicated.) North's three-heart continuation, a variation of fourth-suit forcing, asked South to bid three no-trump with a heart stopper. South has seven top tricks: two spades, one heart, one diamond and three clubs. He gets that total up to at least nine if either clubs are 3-2 or the diamond finesse works. Yesterday, with the spade king in the dummy, declarer had to choose between the two. But now he can try both. He wins with his heart ace and tries dummy's top clubs.

Kazan will soon co-star opposite Bill Murray and Frances McDormand in the upcoming TV mini-series "Olive Kitteridge."

The odds of success have risen to 83.9 percent. Jeraldine Saunders your laurels and avoid making promises. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): All analysis begins with objective self-analysis. Make sure you aren't just beating yourself up by reinforcing negativity. Adjust gracefully if you sense there's a misunderstanding with an important person in your life. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Flexibility is a desirable trait to display, although it could be confused with changefulness. Giving in doesn't necessarily turn you into a door mat. Do some mental yoga so you don't become rigid in your thinking. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Be strategic about handling finances. Impulsiveness and sudden reversals can throw things into a dither. Your boundless creative imagination gives you a decided edge with which to handle minor crises. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The best laid plans of mice and men are often disturbed by the tempting smell of cheese in a mousetrap. Luckily, you're not a rodent, but some other more human item might prove overpoweringly attractive. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Be brave on the balance beam. This may not be a favorable time to take sides or to make a firm commitment. Thriftiness and small economies will serve you well, even though you have the urge to give in to a whim.

In Nishikori’s home town of Matsue, over 800 fans packed into a convention hall to cheer on their hero at a standing-room only public viewing event. So many showed up that organizers had to turn people away once the match started at 6:10 a.m. Tuesday morning local time. Giant banners emblazoned with messages of encouragement from fans hung on the walls of the conventional hall. “Good Luck Kei Nishikori, the Star of Matsue,” read one message. The anticipation of seeing the first Japanese win a Grand Slam quickly dissipated, though, when Nishikori got off to a slow start before eventually falling 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 to Croatia’s Marin Cilic. “He gave it his best shot, but the opponent’s serve was just too strong,” said university student Nozomi Maruyama. “But Nishikori really impressed us with his determination and I think this will make a lasting impression and make tennis more popular in Japan. He’s only 24 so he has a bright future ahead of him.” As with the rest of Japan, Matsue — a quiet city of just over 200,000 — was captivated by Nishikori’s suc- cess. The crowds for the public viewing events grew in size with each win. But the convention hall fell silent when Nishikori lost the final game of the second set to give Cilic a 6-3, 6-3 lead. With Nishikori trailing 6-3, 6-3, 3-1, the crowd started to thin as people headed for the exits with plenty of time to be at their desks for the start of the work day. Still, residents said the buzz created by Nishikori’s run was good for local business. “I hope it has brought some attention to the region,” said office worker Haruyuki Okada. “We are a long way from Tokyo so people tend to forget us here.” Despite the one-sided loss, many admired Nishikori’s fighting spirit. “As a Japanese, he is smaller than many other western rivals and that alone is a major obstacle,” said 67year-old business consultant Masatoshi Hinoshita, who watched at a Tokyo bar. “And yet, Nishikori went overseas alone to compete against those big guys. His challenge simply makes us want to be his cheerleaders.” Nishikori’s first coach, Masaki Kashiwai, watched along with the other locals at the Matsue convention hall. “Celic rode the momentum of beating (Roger) Federer and was unstoppable,” Kashiwai said. “I thought there for a second in the third set Kei had a comeback in him, but it wasn’t to be. Still, he did a great job to reach the final and this is just the beginning for him.” Send us your photos of Community happenings!

FROM B2 RICE: Video leads to his suspension FROM B2 After Goodell drew criticism not being tough enough on Rice, he wrote a letter to all 32 NFL owners in August saying he “didn’t get it right.” First-time offenders now face a six-game suspension. Rice began his suspension Sunday, when the Ravens opened their season with a 23-16 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He was scheduled to return after Thursday night’s game against Pittsburgh. He leaves the Ravens as the second-leading rusher in franchise history, behind only Jamal Lewis. A three-time Pro Bowl selection, Rice is the team’s career leader in total yards from scrimmage (9,214) and is the only player in Ravens history to rush for 1,000 yards in four consecutive seasons. But those are mere numbers, and his actions in that elevator shed a new light on him. “I’m not going to go into what he told us or anything or if it matches or if it doesn’t,” Ravens receiver Torrey Smith said. “That doesn’t matter. What matters is what you see. It wasn’t a pleasant sight at all.” Rice hasn’t spoken often to the media since his arrest, but on July 31 he said this is “something I have to live with the rest of my life.” He added: “I know that’s not who I am as a man. ... I let so many people down because of 30 seconds of my life that I know I can’t take back.”
