Wyoming awaits
CBM specifics
from Montana
GILLETTE (AP) — Wyoming coalbed
methane producers and regulators are
waiting for details on Montana’s framework
for developing the natural gas.
The Montana Department of
Environmental Quality last week released
its record of decision on a statewide framework
for developing coal-bed methane.
Officials said the move, though largely
a formality, clears the way for permitting
the activity, which so far has been limited
in the state.
A portion of the document will help
determine how coal-bed methane gas producers
in Wyoming handle byproduct
water in Powder River Basin rivers that
flow into Montana.
Montana farmers and ranchers have
sought to protect their irrigation water
from the coal-bed methane water, which
can be highly saline.
However, Wyoming producers and regulators
said it is too soon to determine
whether the Montana decision will tighten
or loosen the spigot for coal-bed methane
water discharges on the Wyoming side.
Montana is still working out details of a
so-called Total Maximum Daily Load plan
that will involve all surface waters in
Montana.
‘‘It is hard to say what is the expectation
right now until you see how (Montana
water quality regulators) are going to
implement their standards through the
TMDL plan,’’ said Gary Beach, special
projects manager for the Wyoming
Department of Environmental Quality.
Regulators from both states struck an
agreement to limit surface discharges in
Wyoming until Montana completes a
series of resource management plan revisions
and other environmental studies that
will ultimately lead to a concise set of rules
for surface discharges.
Beach said although the paper version
of the agreement has technically expired,
the two states still honor the agreement.
Because of the limited surface water
discharges, coal-bed methane operators
along the Powder River drainages have
been handling some of the excess water
through other means, such as building containment
ponds.
classes for high school and junior high students
for the past four decades, according
to Julie Carroll, building and grounds
supervisor for School District 2.
Ground work can begin on the southeast
edge of SJHS property, Carroll told the
school board Monday, since the city has
awarded the bid to repair and stabilize the
hillside between SJHS and Kendrick Park.

Farmers Market
Jim and Shirley Racheff (left) of Arizona look over the vegetable selection at
the Farmers Market Tuesday morning at First United Methodist Church.
The market is open from 8:30 a.m.-noon or until sellout Tuesdays and
Fridays. At right, Trinity Lutheran members (from front) Jeannie Eman, Bill
Rathburn, and Gene Songer supervise; they alternate with members of seven
other churches. “Everyone can bring stuff if they want to sell or donate,”
said Jackie Jolovich, First United Methodist Church secretary. “People can
bring in their excess to donate, and each church that is involved picks a
mission project to donate the proceeds to.” The Farmers Market is also
open Saturdays in Grinnell Plaza, attended by the Garden Club of
Sheridan, and will continue until Sept. 15.

Carroll said.
The stabilization project will “look like
rock baskets that stair-step up the hill,”
Carroll noted.
She also said it will be necessary to cut

The Loucks/Main Street intersection
could be open in a week or so,
Melissa Butcher, Wyoming
Department of Transportation public
information specialist, said this morning.
More precise information is expected
after Butcher and other WYDOT
officials meet with representatives of
contractor Intermountain Construction
and Materials and the city of Sheridan
at 2 p.m. Thursday for the weekly project
update.
Butcher said ICM crews are finishing
Phase III of the project and starting
Phase IV this week, including pouring
concrete in the Loucks intersection,
pouring red concrete from Brundage to
Loucks streets and replacing selected
concrete slabs between Loucks and
Works streets.
Butcher said the contract with ICM
allows the company to have crews
working in two phases at one time, but
only one major intersection may be
closed at a time.
She said the project is still on target
for substantial completion by Sept. 30,
meaning all work will be done except

PARKMAN — Little Horn 2 fire more
than doubled in size since Tuesday, growing
to 700 acres.
“We continue to experience some
extreme fire behavior, with the fire making
some considerable runs,” said Bighorn
National Forest spokeswoman Patti Bell.
“The intensity of the fire limited the
effectiveness of retardant drops because it
was burning through them. It has also blown
out over areas of natural fuel breaks that
would have held it, were it not burning so
hot,” Bell said.
“This, combined with some extremely
treacherous terrain and limited safety zones,
makes the use of hand crews somewhat limited,”
she added.
The lightning-caused fire started
Saturday afternoon on the northeast corner
of the Bighorn National Forest, about 15
miles west of here.
The fire is burning on a ridge above the
Little Bighorn Canyon. About 20 summer
homes in the canyon have been evacuated.
“Sheridan County crews were in there all
ments,” including the decorative lighting,
benches and trees being funded
through the Downtown Sheridan
Association and a special assessment
on downtown property owners.
“We’re right on target for grinding
the street around the end of
September,” Butcher said.
All work, including installation of
enhancements and final cleanup, is to
be done by Oct. 31.
Butcher said work was delayed
“slightly” recently when crews found a
“vault” — an open space under the
street — at Works and Main that they
did not know was there.
She said it’s the third vault crews
have found along Main Street. They
knew about one vault, she added, but
not about the other two.
Butcher said the vaults have to be
backfilled before crews proceed with
construction.
“Sometimes the building owner
doesn’t even know they’re there,” she
added.
Vaults may exist for different reasons,
but Butcher said many old buildings
had staircases around the fronts of
the buildings that accessed basement
areas. When streets were paved in the
past, the open vaults were not filled
but just covered over by sidewalks.

No fire restrictions yet
in Bighorn National Forest
By Robert Waggener
Staff reporter
Despite very high fire conditions in the
Big Horn Mountains and surrounding areas,
there are no fire restrictions on the Bighorn
National Forest, officials said.
Forest Fire Management Officer Galen
Roesler said no restrictions have been
implemented because few problems have
been experienced with unattended campfires
or other careless behavior.
Also, Roesler said, U.S. Forest Service
fire-fighting resources are available.
“Right now we can get resources when
we need them,” Roesler said.
“We haven’t experienced a problem with
human-caused fires so far this season, and
as long as people continue to be responsible
we’ll be all right,” he said. “Fire restrictions
are only one tool to prevent fires.”
Roesler said lightning has been responsible
for the fires that have occurred so far
this season in the Big Horns.
Sheridan County has a partial fire ban in
place for lands under the county’s jurisdiction.
A sheriff’s deputy issued a warning
Sunday morning to campers in the lower
Tongue River canyon for having a campfire.
The campfire would have been legal just
up the trail on Bighorn National Forest
lands.
Roesler said the Bighorn may implement
restrictions if weather conditions
remain hot and dry.
“No significant precipitation has fallen
in over a month, and conditions are quite
dry at all elevations of the forest, as indicated
by recent fire activity,” Roesler said.

Little Horn 2 fire doubles in size
last night and again this
morning protecting the
buildings with pumps
and hose lays, removing
combustible materials
from the cabin roofs
and gutters, and from
around the cabins as
much as possible,” Bell
said Tuesday night.
The major threat
to cabins is sparks and
burning debris falling
from the ridge into the
canyon, she noted.
“Structure protection will be one of the
Brian
Songer
highest priorities with the Hot Shots working
on any spotting from the ridge, trying to
keep the fire from slopping over to the area
of the cabins,” Bell said. “We have not lost
any structures to this point.”
Fire Marshal Brian Songer of Sheridan
Fire/Rescue said engine crews from the city
department, along with crews from the
Ranchester and Big Horn volunteer fire
departments, are helping protect structures.

Crews completing Phase III one lane of U.S.
Highway 14 East
By Pat Blair
Senior Staff reporter
U.S. Highway 14 East
between Sheridan and Ucross
will be shut down to one-lane
alternating traffic starting
Monday so crews with the
Wyoming Department of
Transportation can apply a
maintenance overlay.
WYDOT Public Information
Specialist Melissa Butcher said
only one lane of the highway
will be open at a time, and a
pilot car will be used to guide
drivers through the work area.
Butcher in an update of
WYDOT projects in and around
Sheridan this morning said
crews are scheduled to start
paving Interstate 90 South,
between Sheridan and Buffalo,
within the next couple of weeks.
That section of I-90 is undergoing
reconstruction and rehabilitation,
and WYDOT will
award a contract in October for
a similar project on Interstate 90
from Sheridan north to the
Ranchester interchange.

3:30 p.m. Monday in Room 101
of Sheridan College’s Griffith
Memorial Library Building.
The event, hosted by Bill
Bailey, executive director of the
Sheridan Area Development
Alliance, will be brought to
Sheridan via the state’s Video
Conference System.
The purpose of the hearing,
Bailey said, is to collect comments
about proposed rules that
will ultimately guide the distribution
of funds under the
“Business Ready Community”
program.
The proposed rules for offering
loans and grants that encourage
local business development
can be viewed on the Wyoming
Business Council’s Web site at

Communities” section.
exercise equipment and facilities for
classes and meetings.
A new, larger garage for the Center’s
expanded fleet of vehicles is planned on
East Ridge Road.
Rideout added the Day Break expansion
will be on the west side of the building
“with a nice view of Whitney
Commons.”
The Senior Center’s operating systems
also will be upgraded and areas throughout
the building are being reconfigured
and revamped to allow better use of existing
space, Rideout said.
The contract for the work was awarded
by the Senior Citizens Council in May to
Fletcher Construction.
The Senior Center serves more than
500 Sheridan County residents per day
through programs ranging from meals
and activities at the Center to Meals on
Wheels and minibus transportation.

STOP SMOKING & LOSE WEIGHT
with HYPNOSIS
People overweight by 30 or more
pounds could lose about 7 yrs. from
their lives. Weighing just 10 to 30
extra pounds could lose about 3
years, a study reports. Smoking
costs men and women nearly 7 years
of life, but being both overweight
and a smoker could cost them 13.5
years of life.
Over 700,000 people a year die
from being overweight, obese, and
from smoking. These are preventable
deaths! Compared to pills,
lotions, potions and patches nothing
is easier or has a higher success rate
than hypnosis.
Hypnosis works! Hypnosis has
been recognized & endorsed by the
American Medical Association since
1958.
Whatever your past experiences
were trying to quit smoking or lose
weight, this program is specialized
so that you can stop smoking and
lose weight successfully, along with
stress, tension, and anxiety relief.

Classical Showcase Friday at the WYO
**A Classical Showcase
Featuring Cellist JUSTIN
ELKINS and Pianist MARIJA
KRSTEVSKA will be at the
WYO Theater Friday evening at
7:30.
It's not just another concert.
Many of us have been following
Elkins and his music since he
started playing cello at Highland
Park School.
He finished his junior and
senior years of high school at
Interlochen Arts Academy and
graduated from Eastman School
of Music this spring and will
enter the graduate program there
next month.
Krstevska is a senior at the
Musical Academy of the
University of Sts. Cyril and
Methodius in Skopje,
Macedonia. She has an impressive
list of accomplishments and
has performed both in Europe
and here in the United States.
Elkins and Krstevska met at
Interlochen and have collaborated
on concerts several times.
This concert was originally
scheduled here last summer but
canceled when Krstevska was
called home to Macedonia on a
family emergency.
**Last evening's Concert in
the Park, directed by Dr. Ariel
Downing, was a well-balanced
program with the most musicians
in several years. The
French horn quartet playing a
little jazz was a big audience
pleaser.
The LAST SOUNDS OF
SUMMER will be sounded by
the COMMUNITY CONCERT
BAND in next Tuesday’s
Concert in the Park starting a 7
p.m. due to earlier sunset.
For the season’s final performance,
Director Diane Knutson
has selected a program with
"something for everyone," from
kids to us old guys: highlights
from "Zoro," "John Williams
Highlights," "Puttin’ on the
Ritz," "The Civil War Suite,"
and featuring sections from the
band — "Them Basses" and
"Trombone Blues."
There has to be a march or
two also.
End of season, the band is
playing at its largest and best.
Knutson has a knack for selecting
music that makes her bands
sound their best.

CHANGING JOBS: Tongue River High School
Band Director Diane Knutson is coming to
Sheridan’s Junior High, replacing Jeff Peabody, who
has moved to Nebraska to be closer to family.
Knutson has built an enviable reputation in the
12 or so years at TRHS, consistently qualifying
more band students for Music All-State than all but
one or two the the largest schools.
It’s a unique situation that occurs when a small
school in a close-knit community meets a dynamic
teacher who remains for the eight-plus years needed
to build a top rate program. I’ve known three others
that have had such a moment in the sun: Park Falls,
Wis., Hudson, Wyo., and Oelrichs, S.D.
Knutson’s an easy fit in the District 2 band team
with Loretta Tonak and Doug Moore, guiding our
young instrumentalists from middle school introduction
through high school graduation.

Gum disease is generally caused by plaque. Plaque is a thin,
sticky, colorless film that forms on your teeth daily. The
bacteria in the plaque feed on the sugars in the foods you
eat and produce acids and other byproducts that irritate
your gums. Be sure to brush at least twice a day and floss to
clean between teeth. See your dentist for a regular check up
and professional cleaning. There are many toothpastes and
mouthwashes that help fight plaque. Ask your pharmacist
for help in choosing the right one for you.

McDonald’s trying Cajun
restaurant in New Orleans
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — It
won’t smell or taste like or resemble
McDonald’s.
And that’s just what the fast-food
company’s executives are banking
on to bring customers to their Cajunstyle
restaurant coming here.
McDonald’s Corp. will open a
new venture, Chef Mac’s, on the
first floor of an office building
across from City Hall and the
Louisiana Superdome in September.
Modeled after a similar eatery in
Orlando, Fla., the new restaurant
will have chandeliers, leather couches,
stylish tiles and upgraded
restrooms.
McDonald’s director of operations
Bill Garrett describes it as
‘‘upscale, quick gourmet casual.’’
New Orleans is an interesting
testing ground for the restaurant. In
this city, where people live to eat,
there are 3,088 po-boy, Creole,
Cajun, seafood, ethnic and soul food
restaurants, few of which are part of
a chain. And the lunchtime crowds
are only minutes away from the
French Quarter.
That has not deterred
McDonald’s, suffering from a twoyear
slump in a crowded U.S. fastfood
market and seeing innovation
as the key to its long-term success.
The company has tested a number of
new concepts in recent years, including
diners, coffee shops and self-service
kiosks.
Not all new concepts are likely to
survive, particularly under a new
management that has slowed expansion
and capital spending and taken
a back-to-basics approach at existing
U.S. McDonald’s, where speed and
service have lagged.
Ed Strong, a marketing professor
at Tulane University who uses
McDonald’s in case studies, said the
idea of looking into diverse areas
makes sense when traditional restaurants
no longer put out the numbers
Wall Street craves.
‘‘McDonald’s growth never
seemed to stop. And now it’s
stopped,’’ he said. ‘‘None of the
new alternatives are proven, but it’s
reasonable to look into these outlets.’’
The rest of the industry is doing
the same, said Greg Sanders, editor
and associate publisher of the quick
food service trade publication, QSR
Magazine.
‘‘American taste has changed,’’
Sanders said. ‘‘Speed is important,
but quality is now as big.’’

MIAMI (AP) — Coca-Cola has
offered to pay up to $21.1 million to
Burger King and its restaurants to
repair damage caused by allegations
that the soft drink company’s employees
rigged a marketing test of Frozen
Coke at the fast-food outlets.
Coca-Cola will pay $1,000 to each
restaurant that had a Frozen Coke
machine as of May 2000, Burger King
chief executive Brad Blum said
Tuesday in a letter to restaurant owners.
It will also pay part of any repair
costs for possibly defective machines
and make up any losses that Burger
King franchisees had with the equipment
through June, Blum said.

Opinion THE
SHERIDAN Press Wednesday,
It’s up to Senate
to undo House
damage to research
Unless the Senate acts decisively, 2003 could be a
catastrophic year for medical research — and for millions
of people who suffer from dread diseases or may
do so in the future.
The House, with massive shortsightedness, has voted
not only to cut the federal budget for disease research,
but also to curtail the ability of pharmaceutical companies
to develop new drugs. The Senate can undo the
damage by increasing the appropriation for the National
Institutes of Health (and getting the House to go along
with the boost) while also defeating efforts to permit reimportation
of drugs from foreign countries where prices
are controlled and safety is not guaranteed.
In the wee hours of July 25, the House voted 243-186
to permit reimportation of drugs from Canada and two
dozen other countries without
giving the Food and Drug
Administration authority to
monitor their safety.
Members were motivated by
outrage at high drug prices and
the differential between U.S.
and foreign prices, neglecting to
observe that lifesaving drugs
won’t exist if pharmaceutical
companies can’t make profits to
Morton
Kondracke

invest in new research.
Various House members
complained that monthly doses
of the breast cancer drug
Tamoxifen cost $360 in the
United States and $60 in
Germany, and that a prescription for the blood pressure
medicine Toprol-XL costs $108 here and $40 in Canada.
But the House majority ignored the fact that by
reducing drug company income by up to $700 million a
year, it is depriving the companies of the capital they
invest in new medicines to treat cancer, heart disease and
other ailments.
Canada, Germany and other countries can keep drug
prices down by imposing price controls. It’s no accident
that more than 80 percent of the world’s new drug development
occurs in the United States.
That will stop if the United States, in effect, adopts
price controls by foreign proxy. Drug companies won’t
be able to invest the $500 million it costs, on average, to
bring one new drug to market. The way to reduce drug
prices — at least for seniors — is not to mandate prices,
but to pass a Medicare prescription drug benefit. In
future years, Congress should also help the uninsured
obtain health coverage, including a drug benefit. In its
haste to reduce drug prices, the House also dismissed
dire warnings from the Bush administration that the bill
it was passing is dangerous.
FDA Commissioner Mark McClellan, who’s been
working to reduce drug costs by various means short of
price controls, said the House bill would allow importation
of “expired, subpotent, contaminated or counterfeit”
products.
Advocates of the bill claimed that Canada has drugclearance
procedures as safe as those in this country, but
McClellan noted that Canada does not guarantee the
safety of drugs shipped out of its own territory.
Moreover, he said, drugs imported from Canada,
Japan, Europe, Australia or South Africa “could potentially
be manufactured and trans-shipped from anywhere
in the world.”
The FDA has evidence, he wrote, of “prescription
drug sales from Internet sites that purport to be in
Canada, but upon investigation have been found to be
located elsewhere and provided drugs that are adulterated,
sub-potent or counterfeit.”
Supporters of the reimportation bill, including
Republicans, accused the FDA of having been captured
by the drug industry, but Donna Shalala, secretary of
Health and Human Services under President Bill Clinton,
also refused to certify that imported drugs could be guaranteed
as safe.
The House majority that passed the reimportation bill
included 155 Democrats and 87 Republicans. It will be
on their heads if the measure becomes law and people
die from adulterated drugs — or from diseases not cured
because appropriate drugs were not developed.
Fortunately, a bipartisan group of 53 senators —
including Democrats such as Edward Kennedy of
Massachusetts, Barbara Mikulski of Maryland and Patty
Murray of Washington — has signed a letter calling for
maintenance of current FDA safety controls.
Meantime, it’s up to the Senate to undo NIH budget cuts
pushed by both the Bush administration and the House.
NIH funds the basic medical research that eventually
leads to development of drugs by pharmaceutical companies.
Prior to this year, President Bush and Congress doubled
the NIH budget over a five-year period, providing
annual increases of 15 percent and significantly advancing
medical discovery. However, Bush decided to drop
the initiative — and forgo a potentially luminous legacy
of disease cures — by recommending a budget increase
this year of only 2.5 percent, below the rate of medical
inflation of 3.1 percent.
The House went along with the Bush number, while
the Senate Appropriations Committee passed a 3.7 percent
increase. Biomedical scientists and medical school
deans argue that a drop-off in the pace of funding (from
15 percent to 2 percent to 3 percent) would cause havoc
in the research community, forcing labs to close and projects
to be dropped.
When the appropriation for the Labor, Health and
Human Services, and Education departments hits the
Senate floor in September, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-
Calif., Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa and Sen. Arlen Specter,
R-Pa., intend to offer an amendment increasing NIH
funding by 9.2 percent.
Specter’s support is crucial because he’s chairman of
the Appropriations Subcommittee overseeing NIH, but
the measure still needs 60 votes to pass.
Millions of people depend on — whether they know
it or not — both federally funded and drug-company
research to save their lives. Members of Congress, if
they help these people, surely find a way to let their constituents
know about it.

We should focus our attention
on democracy for Iraqis
Editor:
One of the greatest dangers of democracy is noticed
in hard truth. If public opinion is wrong, it can stifle
critical thinking that is necessary.
Our Founding Fathers did not want us to forget that
democracy was risky, therefore created a Senate as
protection against shifting of winds of popular will.
Many times popular opinion prevents elected officials
from doing the right thing. Let’s take the debate
over Iraq. Too much attention is being given to intelligence
failures, whereas we should focus our attentions
to helping Iraq become a democracy.
One must give concern to our foreign policy decisions,
not personal feelings we have about actions of
other nations prior to the war.
On March 3 a decision made by Turkey’s
Parliament to reject an appeal by the United States to
allow our soldiers to cross Turkey and allow a second
front against Hussein, who thought Ankara was a reliable
ally.
Only 8 percent of the Turks think President Bush is
doing the right thing. Many Turks feel they are being
purchased with a promise of economic assistance .
Both countries now need to have a visible common
vision — a vision that does allow democracy to
achieve their destiny. Above all, and most importantly,
those of both countries must get over their distrust.
Now is the time for the United States and Turkey to
have a summit on the future of Iraq. The United States
must get over the feeling of being offended and do
what is necessary.
Mrs. Lyman Brooks Jr.
Sheridan
On July 17, at a press conference following Tony
Blair’s rousing speech to Congress, the president said
that he and the prime minister would address concerns
Blair and many in England had that two British citizens
imprisoned at a U.S. base at Guantanamo Bay would
not get a fair trial by our military tribunals. But Bush
then told the press — and the world — “the only thing I
know for certain is that these are bad people.”
The president of the United States was, in effect,
publicly prejudging the guilt of these defendants. It was
like the trial in “Alice in Wonderland” when the Queen
of Hearts insisted: “Sentence first — verdict afterwards.”
It was not surprising that the president discarded the
presumption of innocence. After all, he alone on his
authority has already designated two American citizens
“enemy combatants,” sending them to military brigs on
American soil indefinitely — without charges, without
access to a lawyer or to anyone but their prison guards.
In June, testifying before the House Judiciary
Committee, Attorney General John Ashcroft supported
the president’s power — which cannot be found in the
Constitution — to make other Americans disappear
once the president declares them to be enemy combatants.
Ashcroft emphasized that the streets of America
are now a war zone, and that means its citizens can now
be taken off of any American street if labeled enemy
combatants by the president.
Therefore — despite the separation of powers
embedded in the Constitution — Ashcroft’s Justice
Department keeps insisting that the judiciary defer to
the president’s preventing the two Americans, Yaser
Esam Hamdi and Jose Padilla, from seeing their
lawyers. This way, these men cannot directly rebut the
accusations and allegations that keep them in their cells
and cannot receive news about what’s happening to

The large article this evening (Aug. 8) regarding

else in your paper.

Cummings’ column inspires
reader to take notice each day
Editor:
I have just finished reading Tim Cummings’ column,
“An Upward Glance,” in the weekend edition
of The Sheridan Press, and it has given me a challenge.
His opening sentence, “It is easy to go through a
day without noticing much of anything,” made me
think about my morning walk. So, what did I see?
1) A friendly cat that came up and brushed against
my legs; I petted it briefly and then, not wanting it to
follow, walked on without looking back.
2) Another lone walker — a young man. I met
him twice. Why are all the walkers I meet fit and
trim looking? I never see a fat person.
3) Beautiful fuchsia flowers lining the river bank.
4) Clouds of flies (maybe gnats) hovering over
their cases in the courts. They
no longer have the right to
have rights.
In the case of Yaser Esam
Hamdi, the Supreme Court is
being asked to decide whether
the president can indeed be
above the Constitution. That
question was presumably settled
when President Richard
Nixon resigned because,
Congress decided, no president
can be above the law. But since
this administration continues to
make up the law as it goes
along, that bedrock constitu-
tional principle is before the Supreme Court — and us
— again.
It is also not surprising that Ashcroft sees no constitutional
problem with the president imprisoning an
American citizen beyond the reach of the Bill of Rights.
In an initial draft of Ashcroft’s USA PATRIOT Act,
Ashcroft proposed that habeas corpus be suspended as
we fight to protect our liberties against terrorists.
As Thomas Jefferson wrote in a letter to James
Madison as the Constitution was being drafted, there is
no greater essential right than habeas corpus. It allows a
citizen to be able to have the government prove in court
that it has the legal authority to hold him in prison.
Otherwise, I would add, we have enacted an element
similar to Fidel Castro’s unilateral rule of law.
That the attorney general of the United States wanted
to suspend habeas corpus, “the great writ,” while our
civilian courts were clearly functioning, shocked
Wisconsin Republican James Sensenbrenner, chairman
of the House Judiciary Committee.

Little Goose Creek where only a little water is flowing.
But, I could still hear the sound of the water in

5) In the first part of the walk there were several
overnight campers and one motorcycle/tenter in
Washington Park.
6) In the second part of my walk, I walked past
Sheltered Acres Park — a new discovery for me earlier
this summer. It’s a pretty place.

Bob and Norma Goodman
of Sheridan ‘Good Samaritans’
Editor:
Two weeks ago, my wife and I were rescued by two
Good Samaritans from your town — Bob and Norma
Goodman.
We were broken down on a dirt mountain road 30
miles from the nearest town. They not only took us into
town to get the needed replacement, but they also took
us back to our vehicle and followed us back into town
to make sure we arrived safely.
These two wonderful people interrupted their day
trip and went 60 miles out of their way to help
strangers. It is comforting to know that the Western
spirit of neighborliness is still alive and well — at least
in Wyoming and Montana.
Our heartfelt thanks and continued gratitude to

He saw to it that Ashcroft’s way of preserving our
freedoms did not get into the PATRIOT Act. If
Sensenbrenner hadn’t stepped in, I wonder if the president
would have.
It’s true that Abraham Lincoln did suspend habeas
corpus during the Civil War, and many Americans who
opposed Lincoln’s policies were marched in front of
military tribunals. It wasn’t until 1866 — after the
war’s end and Lincoln’s assassination — that the
Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution was a casualty
in that war.
In Ex parte Milligan, the Supreme Court declared —
believing that its judgment would stand for many generations
to come — that “the Constitution of the United
States is a law for rulers and people, equally in war and
in peace, and covers with the shield of its protection all
classes of men, at all times, and under all circumstances,”
and none of its “safeguards can the President,
or Congress, or the judiciary disturb.”
The Supreme Court also emphasized that, all during
Lincoln’s suspension of habeas corpus, and the hauling
of American citizens before military tribunals, our
civilian courts were still running. And they still are.
But what greatly disturbs me is that I doubt whether
George W. Bush’s assertion of his authority to bypass
the Constitution will be a major, or even minor, issue in
the forthcoming presidential campaign. It won’t be
raised by the Republicans; but most Democrats —
including those running to succeed Bush — to use Tom
Paine’s phrase, are also summer soldiers of the
Constitution.

created, "C is for Cowboy," Saturday from 11 a.m.-1 p.m.
at Sheridan Stationery, and on Sept. 13 from 1-3 p.m. at
the Bradford Brinton Memorial and Museum.
The book is part of a series of alphabet books on each
state that covers kindergarten through sixth grade, published
by Sleeping Bear Press of Chelsea, Mich.
"C is for Cowboy" is about Wyoming, and has
rhyming verses that accompany the illustrations for
younger children, and a sidebar exposition of historical
facts for older children, according to Guy.
Guy is an signature member of the American Academy
of Women Artists and is known for her paintings of
equine and Western themes. She has another book coming
out in September titled, "B is for Buckaroo," a children's
alphabet book about the history of cowboys. It is being
published by Sleeping Bear Press, also.
Gagliano is an recently retired elementary school
teacher in Buffalo and writer. He is a member of the

In citing the University of
Wyoming and Laramie, Outside
magazine praised UW's "full range
of academic fare, including firstrate
programs in agriculture, education,
and environment and natural
resources," which are just a few of
the university's outstanding academic
offerings. They also noted
the ready access to traditional
climbing at Vedauwoo, Nordic ski-
ing in the Medicine Bow
Mountains, and singletrack riding
on the trails at Happy Jack.
UW also has a strong Outdoor
Adventure Program, which organizes
events as diverse as climbing,
caving, camping, and whitewater
kayaking; rents outdoor equipment
to UW students and employees; and
manages the indoor climbing wall
in Half Acre Gymnasium. Other
outdoor organizations sponsored by
UW include the Cycling Club,
which won three national women's
road championships in 2001; alpine
and Nordic ski clubs, which won
the women's combined national
championship in 2003; and the
University Flycasters.
The books will also be available at the office
until 4 p.m. weekdays.
Extra copies are available for members of the
community, Baker said. Copies of the 2001-02
yearbook are also still available for $40 each.
A discount is offered for 2003-04 yearbooks
reserved and paid for during next week's registration.
"The price during registration will be $30,
and they will go up to $35 after registration is
over," Baker said.
Anyone wishing to reserve a copy after
Homecoming — Oct. 10 this year — can expect
to pay the full $40.

DEAR DR. GOTT: For years I've suffered from
severe heartburn and indigestion that antacids have not
helped. Sometimes that pain is so pronounced that I
think I'm having a heart attack. But a stress test was
normal, as were blood tests and a barium
enema X-ray study. Could my doctor
be missing something?
DEAR READER: I don't know -after
all, medical tests are fallible -but
I do know that you should look
further. Specifically, I urge you to
have an upper gastrointestinal X-ray
series, followed, if necessary, by a
consultation with a gastroenterologist.
As I have repeatedly stated before,
no matter how knowledgeable and thorough a doctor is,
second opinions and consultations are the mainstay of
good medical practice.
One bright bit of datum: your indigestion is probably
not caused by heart disease. The stress test confirmed
that your heart is functioning normally.
Therefore, you should turn your attention to your
upper intestinal tract. I'd be willing to bet that your
basic problem is gastroesophageal reflux disease
(GERD), a common cause of indigestion and gas. If this
condition is present, treatment is available, but the doctors
must determine if this backwash of stomach acid
could be harming the esophagus. Thus, in any case, you
may need endoscopy, during which a gastroenterologist
will meticulously examine your esophagus, stomach
DEAR ABBY: I have saved for
two years to take my children -ages
7, 11 and 13 -- on a dream
vacation. My kids have never been
on a plane, and they are very excited
about the prospect.
The problem is my fiance,
"Drew." He wants to come with us.
However, he has just admitted to
me that he is deathly afraid of flying.
He wants us to change our
plans and drive instead. It would
require an 18-hour drive each way.
The kids will be very disappointed
if they have to give up their first
flight, and we'd all be miserable
spending that much time confined
in a car. We'd be tired before we
arrived, and worst of all, four days
of our one-week vacation would be
spent in transit.
I have offered to pay for Drew's
gas or train ticket so he can meet us
there. I even found the name of a
psychologist who specializes in
phobias, but Drew won't fly, take a
train or see a "shrink."
Drew claims if I "really loved
him," I would accept him, fears and
all, and return the plane tickets. He
also says if we go
without him, the
engagement is
over.
I understand
that Drew's fears
are very real, and I
am sympathetic to
his problem.
However, I feel it is
unreasonable for him to expect us to
make such a drastic change of plans
to accommodate him -- especially
since we are leaving in less than a
month.

DEAR DR. GOTT: I suffer from chronic asthma.
When the condition is severe, I use an albuterol inhaler.
However, at other times, when using ibuprofen for my
arthritis, I cough less and breathe easier. What is the
connection? What more can I do to control the asthma?
DEAR READER: I do not believe that there is a
relation between your asthma (cough) and your arthritis
medicine. Perhaps this is serendipity: when your asthma
is under control, you may tend to exercise more vigorously
and, consequently, require ibuprofen for pain
relief.
Some forms of asthma are worsened by aspirin and
similar drugs, but I've never heard of these products
improving the symptoms of asthma.
Although you appear to be receiving appropriate
therapy for your asthma attacks, there are many new
medicines, such as inhaled steroids, that are extremely
effective in preventing asthma. Ask your doctor about
this.
Dear Abby Pauline Phillips and Jeanne Phillips
If I were you, I'd take the children
on that trip and let the chips
fall where they may. Your fiance
appears to be controlling and selfcentered.
He does not have your
children's best interests at heart, and
his attempts to control you and
them show what kind of stepfather
he will be. Please think twice about
tying the knot with Drew.
DEAR ABBY: One of my coworkers,
"Roger," conducts business
for his second job -- real estate
-- every day on company time.
Everyone in the office can hear him
"selling" on the phone.
My office mates and I find
Roger's real estate paperwork scattered
all over the place -- left in the
copier or fax machine, even in the
lunchroom. He is constantly surfing
the Internet looking at houses.
Roger is a nice person with a
sweet wife and three little kids.
However, my office mates and I see
the side of him that is without
morals.
I, for one, don't know how to
treat him. All employees sign a
"code of conduct" each year in
order to continue working for our
company. The document clearly
states that employees are to report
anyone conducting outside or personal
business on company time.
I am torn about what to do. I
don't want to ruin this man's career,
but I feel I have broken a pledge by
not reporting him. What's the
answer, Abby? -- WORKING
WITH A CHEAT IN MICHIGAN
DEAR WORKING: The person
in the office who is closest to Roger
should have a heart-to-heart with
him, conveying the sentiments of
the rest of the employees. If that
doesn't do the trick, then all of
Roger's co-workers -- including you
-- should sign a letter to the bosses
informing them about the breach in
company policy. The names should
be listed in alphabetical order.
Rogers' behavior is not only dishonest,
but it also undermines office
morale. A warning from his supervisor
may teach him a lesson and
get him to shape up. If he's lucky,
he won't be dismissed.

‘Deadbeat dad’ ordered to pay
$14,000 in back child support
By Robert Waggener
Staff reporter
A “deadbeat dad” from Sheridan
has been ordered to pay approximately
$14,000 in back child support,
according to the U.S. attorney’s
office in Cheyenne.
William Larry Fraser Jr., 30,
pleaded guilty to a federal charge of
failing to pay child support and was
sentenced July 29 to five years’
supervised release, according to
Assistant U.S. Attorney Jim
Anderson.
Fraser was ordered to pay a
Texas woman the back child support
in addition to his $720 monthly obligation,
according to court records.
A suspicious fire destroyed an
unoccupied camper trailer late
Tuesday morning about 1 1/2 miles
east of Sheridan, according to
Sheridan Fire/Rescue.
The fire burned less than an acre
of grass in a pasture used by horses,
and it caused heavy damage to
about 10 trees, said Fire Marshal
Brian Songer.
The fire occurred on Hugh and
Darla Redinger’s property at 166
U.S. Highway 14 East.
Songer said the trailer was on
the property when the couple pur-

Cheyenne under a federal statute

Sheridan police initially arrested
Fraser on a local warrant for
felony desertion.
Fraser purposely used the
Social Security number of his
father, William Larry Fraser Sr.,

employment to make it more difficult
for Texas authorities to trace
him, the charging document states.

Construction documents for the new grade 6-8 middle
school should be complete by Aug. 22.
Bids are due Sept. 30, and the school board will
approve bids at its Oct. 6 meeting, according to current
plans, Carroll said.
Part of the $22.3 million awarded to District 2 by the
state last spring will be used to reroute the storm sewer
that falls under the site of the new middle school, she

“Forest visitors have been very conscientious of the
need to be careful with campfires and relatively few
problems have been experienced with unattended campfires
or other careless behavior to this time,” he said.
“The forest urges people to be extremely careful
with fire as we continue through the summer, since
extended hot and dry weather, such as we have been
experiencing, creates very volatile fire conditions,” he
said.
He said visitors can take several steps to help prevent
fires. They include:
• Don’t park vehicles on dry vegetation. Exhaust
systems can reach temperatures of more than 1,000
degrees, which is hot enough to start a wildfire in a
short time.
• Use an approved spark arrestor on off-road vehi-

Bernie Jestrabek-Hart traveled from Meridian, Idaho, to deliver the newest piece of art on loan to
the Sheridan Public Art Committee, “Into the Homestretch,” on the corner of Grinnell Avenue and
Broadway. “Super Slide,” another piece by the artist, is on display in front of Nelson Electronics
on Grinnell Avenue. Firefighters unloaded “Into The Homestretch,” which weighs approximately
300 pounds. Jestrabek-Hart said she created both pieces from barbed wire, because she likes
the effect.
Yellowstone National Park
East Entrance closed due to fire
The East Entrance of Yellowstone National Park
remained closed Wednesday after a 2,700-acre fire
crept to within one-eighth mile of the pavement and
presented a hazard to motorists.
The fire was spreading into the western edge of
Shoshone National Forest. But no structures were
threatened — the nearest building was nine miles
away — and the park’s four other entrances remained
open.
Park visitors were being detoured at Cody. They
were told to drive over the Beartooth Highway,
through Cooke City, Mont., and into the park by way
of the Northeast Entrance.
No firefighters were on the ground but several had
been requested. Water-dropping helicopters carried
on the fight as they did Tuesday.
‘‘Efforts will be on the east side to try to hold it
and keep it from spreading any further into Shoshone
National Forest, and also on the south side to keep it
from spreading any closer to the road,’’ fire information
officer Brian Suderman said.
More dry weather and a high temperature in the
mid- to upper 80s were forecast.
‘‘In that area there are quite a few beetle-killed
trees,’’ Suderman said. ‘‘So that’s contributing to
some of the extreme fire behavior we saw at least the
first day of the fire.’’
Dozens of other fires were burning in
Yellowstone, the vast majority very small. Two
exceptions were the 600-acre Frank Fire, which
burned most of Frank Island in Yellowstone Lake,
and the 45-acre Grizzly fire just east of the lake.
Scores of fires were burning elsewhere in
Wyoming.
They included a 90-acre fire a few miles west of
Yellowstone’s East Entrance. There was no containment
of the Norris fire Wednesday.
In north-central Wyoming’s Bighorn National
Forest, crews were trying to hold ground against the
700-acre Little Horn Two fire, which threatened to
rain embers onto 20 evacuated cabins from a rocky
ridge.

THE
SHERIDAN Press Wednesday, August 13, 2003
Oliver White
You are entering
The
O-Zone
S.W.A.T. is
S.W.E.E.T.
When I was a little boy, I remember seeing a movie called
“The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.”
OK, so it was really “The Land Before Time,” but they’re
equally destructive to a child’s mind.
After the movie I commented how much I hated it and why
and, to my surprise, people listened.
It was at that moment that I wished from the bottom of my
heart to become the best film critic in the world.
Part of that dream came true: I am a film critic.
This week is much different though.
It’s true that I still reviewed an action movie — that hasn’t
changed — but for once, I actually loved the movie.
To be honest, I wasn’t expecting it to be as good as the previews
made it look, but it was as good and then some.
In order to explain myself, I should probably summarize
first.
I don’t think that I’ll ruin the movie for anyone in the summary
— I try to keep it vague — but if you want to skip over
it, I support you.
The movie, unlike this review, doesn’t waste any time in
the beginning.
S.W.A.T. (Special Weapons And Tactics) is called into a
hostage situation at a bank where S.W.A.T. members Jim
Street (Colin Farrell) and Brian Gamble (Jeremy Renner) disobey
orders to stay put and save the day, at the cost of a bullet
wound to a hostage.
The woman who was injured sued the city for millions and,
as a result, Street is demoted and Gamble is fired.
This creates turmoil between the two, who have been partners
for five years.
Street works hard to get back into S.W.A.T., and along
comes Sgt. Dan Hondo Harrelson (Samuel L. Jackson), who
builds an unlikely group of heroes including Michael Boxer
(Brian Van Holt), Deacon Deke Kaye (LL Cool J), and TJ
McCabe (Josh Charles).
Long story short, a Mediterranean terrorist, Alex Montel
(Olivier Martinez), who had just killed his father goes to L.A.
(by the way, that’s where the entire movie takes place) and
kills his uncle.
He gets arrested and is awaiting prison transfer when he
offers $100 million to anyone who can get him out.
The expedition is led by gangs, thugs, ruffians, and, you
guessed it, corrupt S.W.A.T. members.
Sgt. Harrelson’s team is in charge of keeping Montel under
lock and key, which, as I know from experience, isn’t easy
when people are shooting rockets, bullets and grenades at you.
All the while, Harrelson’s team is under constant supervision
by the obtrusive and idiotic Capt. Thomas Fuller (Larry
Poindexter).
If you’re a real nerd as I am, you’ll recognize Poindexter
from the Chrysler commercials (he’s the one selling cars).
Anyway, all of these “pressure points” make for a clever
plot, probably more clever than I make it sound.
END OF SUMMARY.
What I liked about the movie that separates it from many
other action movies is the sense of brotherhood among the
S.W.A.T. team members.
It was refreshing to see that they really cared about each
other and weren’t simply barking orders here and there, as
often is the case with the war/police genre of action movies.
It was also neat to see that the S.W.A.T. members really
were the best of the best in terms of physical ability and mental
cunning, and it was clear that the writers (David Ayer and
David McKenna) and director (Clark Johnson) really put
thought into this.
By the way, there’s another prevalent hero in this movie
that I forgot to mention: Dr Pepper.
With his Ph.D in sponsorship, he hardly leaves the screen
for an instant.
It’s not so bad that they start pouring it on wounds to make
them heal, but it does make you wonder if it’s the police
department’s beverage of choice.
I’ll admit that when I left the theater I thought the movie
was only mediocre.
The more I think about it, however, the more I like it.

Cooking is one of those things at which I
would love to get better. While I was over in
France last summer, I took in some of the tastiest
meals I’d ever had, and I was inspired to start
cooking myself.
Our guide in the Alps provided us with a great
rice salad, saying it contained lemon juice, corn,
and other assorted ingredients.
I wrote all of them down, and tried to replicate
the concoction soon after I arrived home.
Strangely it tasted nothing at all like the salad I’d
had on my trip, instead bearing the distinct flavor
of lemon juice and little else.
Another recipe I liked called for many ingredients,
and when I started it back at home, the conversation
went something like this:
Me: “Do we have any cilantro? I need a teaspoon
of cilantro.”
Mom: “No, I haven’t used cilantro in any
recipes in years.”
Me: “OK, I need some peanut oil sauce.”
Mom: “What the heck is that?”
Me: “Never mind. How about this French herb
whose name I’ve written down here.”

A learning experience
Sheridan teen
travels and
teaches in Korea
By Oliver White
Youth reporter
Underneath Sheridan’s quiet atmosphere
lies the ambition of youth.
It is this ambition that enables youth
to reach out to the world, a mountain of
possibilities that before they have not
seen.
Luckily, these youth live in an age
where international travel is not only
possible, but convenient as well.
Gaining the knowledge of a foreign
land is an action that takes determination
and bravery, but for some youth,
these are not causes for concern.
There seems to be a certain type of
personality unaffected by travel from
home or fear of foreigners, and it is this
personality that brings a great cosmopolitan
aura to the small-town communities
in need of such stimulation.
In other words, Sheridan youth are
beginning to think “outside the box.”
A prime example is Garrett Laney,
17.
Laney spent nearly two months, from
June 4 to July 27, in South Korea
teaching English, learning the culture,
and enjoying himself all the while.
He is composed of a unique substance
known as the “right stuff,” a mixture
of ingenuity, boldness and work
ethic.
It is this disposition that makes for a
life with stories worth telling.
Naturally, this “right stuff” does not
come without loyalty. According to his
mother, Kim Laney of Sheridan, “If he
likes you, he’ll do anything for you. If
he doesn’t, don’t even think about it.”
When asked about the most important
aspect of the journey, Laney said
one word, “Culture.”
As one might expect, culture is the
one most important value in a foreign
country.
It is culture that can get one into
trouble, but it can also aid one tremendously.
Needless to say, Laney was very
aware of the culture. Furthermore, he
In which I learn of teaspoons and macaroons
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The wandering of the planets
brings Mars closer to Earth this month than at any time in
nearly 60,000 years. It will be a last-chance proposition for all
alive today: Mars won’t be as close again until Aug. 28, 2287.
Just 34.6 million miles of space will separate the two planets
on Aug. 27. If that doesn’t sound close, Mars was five
times as distant just six months ago.
Already, Mars has begun to loom large in the late evening
sky, its rusty twinkle apparent in the southeast. For the next
several weeks the fourth rock from the sun should shine
brighter than any other celestial body — save the moon and
Venus.

Mom: “I can’t read that.”
And so on. In the end,
we had two of the 14 ingredients,
and those were
mushrooms and olive oil,
which make a nice combination,
but not anywhere
near the original recipe.
The kitchen therefore is
usually a high-stress area
for me. Instead of sending
Russell
all my relatives cologne and
Robison
books for presents the last
few Christmases, I’ve given
Youth Reporter them all sorts of desserts
from my own kitchen.
These were made mostly by myself, but I occasionally
had the help of my mother, such as when
the sea-foam candy failed to foam or when the
sugarplums melted all over.
My mother is usually fairly adept in the
kitchen, but I remember hearing of a day when
even she was struck by the evil kitchen fairies.
It started with an innocent holiday meal, but
“After high-school, I worked for a year, and decided
to follow my dream and pursue my passion for
music. Sheridan College gave me the support and
financial aid to do just that. My instructors went
above and beyond to help, and because of them,
I’m glad I chose Sheridan College.”

adds, “This isn’t the first time I’ve been there, so I
kind of know what’s going on.”
While he was in Korea, Laney spent most of his
time either in Jeju-do, a small island with a population
that can be compared to Wyoming’s, or in
Seoul, a city so big that Laney himself says, “Seoul
is huge.”
All the while Laney was residing with his aunt
and uncle, who bid him hospitality and helped him
remember just how different American and Korean
cultures are.
As if the deal were not already sweet enough,
the school, radio station, newspaper and television
station all separately paid him to teach under the
public eye.
However, when asked if he sought this as a
career, Laney hesitated.
“I don’t want to be a teacher,” He said. “I
would rather pursue a career in medicine.”
Medicine may be his career and, come this fall,
Laney will be studying Human Anatomy at
Sheridan College.
It would seem as if Laney was both happy to
leave and happy to come home, two factors that
define the success of a vacation, and when asked
about what he missed most, Laney said, “Nothing
... well, probably my friends.”
Although he is a man of few words, Laney does
‘‘Mars you can’t miss, it’s bright and red,’’ said Myles
Standish, an astronomer at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Aldo Vitagliano, of the University of Naples in Italy,
calculated that Mars hasn’t had as close a brush with
Earth since Sept. 12, 57617 B.C., when Neanderthals
ruled but modern man had begun to make inroads.
J. Kelly Beatty, executive editor of Sky & Telescope,
said he plans to be gazing skyward to bathe in the
‘‘Marslight’’ during the closest approach — 5:51 a.m.
EDT on Aug. 27.
The Red Planet still will seem small: To the naked eye,
Mars will have the apparent diameter of a penny seen

offer advice for any amateur travelers planning a visit to
Korea.
“Don’t go there if you don’t know what you’re doing,”
Laney warns. “The culture is totally different and you could
get yourself into trouble if you don’t know what to expect.”
Laney plans to visit Korea again sometime next year.
Naturally I asked if I could accompany him, but unfortunately,
the request is still awaiting an answer.
soon the fire authorities were involved. My mom
said she was more embarrassed that the house was
a mess than the fact that she’d started a grease
fire.
Condiments are an important part of cooking,
and these have had their evil ways from time to
time as well. On a road trip back East with my
mom, we stopped at McDonald’s to have our traditional
afternoon tea and fries.
I was threatening to squirt my mom with a
ketchup packet by smashing it against the table.
Surprisingly, she had no desire to be coated with
ketchup and demanded I refrain from doing so.
I smashed the packet anyway, but somehow,
defying all reasonable laws of physics, the
ketchup flew backward out of the packet and onto
my shirt. I vowed never again to toy with those
mischievous ketchup packets.
Anyway, someday soon (like this September in
college) I suppose I’ll have to learn to cook for
myself. I’m trying to learn all my mom’s good
recipes, but I fear that after every attempt I’ll get
something that tastes a lot like rice and lemon
juice.
from 500 feet away. Even though Mars is twice the size of
the moon, it will be 145 times as distant.
With binoculars, or better yet a telescope, observers
can start to pick out details on the planet’s surface. The
view from even a modest telescope should reveal the
planet’s southern ice cap, Beatty said.
Next week, astronomers will send radio waves from
antennas on Earth that will bounce off Mars to study the
terrain where one of the two NASA rovers is targeted to
land in January. The close proximity will improve the resolution
of the radar images, said Albert Haldemann,
deputy project scientist for the rover mission.

In the football-crazed state of Ohio, Craig Krenzel is
the object of almost king-like admiration. The smart,

State to a 14-0 record and national championship last season.
Krenzel completed more than 59 percent of his passes and
capped the perfect season by being voted Offensive Most Valuable
Player of the Fiesta Bowl.
Success didn’t come instantly for Krenzel. He spent most of his
first three seasons as a reserve. But he kept working hard, got his
opportunity to play, and made the most of it.
Krenzel is equally adept in the classroom. He is an A student
majoring in molecular genetics and plans to go to medical school.
But this fall, the future doctor will try to help lead the Buckeyes to
another healthy, happy season … as he did last year.

Sheridan cyclist strong in Colorado hill climb
By Robert Waggener
Staff reporter
Ronn Smith has ascended into the winner’s circle of
the Bob Cook Memorial Mount Evans Hillclimb in
Colorado, one of the nation’s premier cycling events.
Smith, 54, placed first in his age division (50-59) of
the citizens’ division of the race.
“I was pleasantly surprised,”
Smith said of his finish in the 38th
running of the July 27 event.
He completed the 28-mile
climb in 2 hours, 21 minutes, 59
seconds.
His time was 14 minutes
faster than in 2001, when he
entered for the first time.
“I compete mostly against
myself. A good race for me is if I
can improve ... or get through the
race without suffering too much.
This time I did both,” Smith said.
“Most importantly the race provides a little incentive

Staff reporter
CLEARMONT — Arvada-
Clearmont High School will have a new
head girls’ basketball coach and activities
director this school year.
Brenda Michelena said she is stepping
down from both positions because of personal
and professional commitments.
Michelena
also said she felt
the new head
coach, Michelle
Dahlberg, would
strengthen the
program.
“Michelle
has such a
tremendous
amount of experi-

ence. She is much
more qualified as
head coach than
myself,” said
Michelena, who
will serve as the
assistant coach.
A new
activities director
hasn’t been
named.
Dahlberg
previously
coached in Park
City, Mont., and
played basketball
and volleyball at
Chadron State
College (Neb.). She graduated in 1990
with bachelor’s degrees in business education
and physical education/health.
During her six-year tenure at Park
City, Dahlberg’s teams won two district
championships.
“Michelle has a tremendous work
ethic, and she passes that on to the kids.
She has a great rapport with them,”
Michelena said.
Dahlberg served as an assistant girls’
basketball coach last season. She will
start her second year with School District
3 as a business education teacher and
head high school volleyball coach.
Michelena said the District 3 board
of trustees previously accepted her resignation
as head basketball coach, and is
scheduled to act on her resignation at a
Aug. 20 meeting. The meeting begins at
7 p.m. at the high school library.
“I just had too many irons in the
fire,” said Michelena, who is a full-time
office aide for the district.
Michelena said she enjoyed her oneyear
position as activities director.
“I enjoyed all the contact with kids
and other people involved in sports and
other activities,” Michelena said.

Dracula must be Pete Rose’s press agent.
How else to explain a cause that was laid to
rest a half-dozen times since 1989 climbing out
of the grave yet one more time at the start of
this week?
Scarier still, Rose used this latest ‘‘exclusive’’
interview not just to lobby for reinstatement
to baseball and a spot on the Hall of Fame
ballot. It turns out he’s got grander plans. He
wants his old job back.
‘‘I love baseball. I love to teach baseball. I
love young players. I love veteran players,’’
Rose told ESPN. ‘‘I’d like to rebuild some-
“ I compete mostly against myself. A good race for me is if I can
improve ... or get through the race without suffering too much. This
time I did both.
Ronn Smith
”
Approximately 700 cyclists participated.
Smith had the ninth fastest time overall among the
approximate 220 “citizen” racers, those not holding a
USA Cycling license.
He finished 13 seconds behind the winner of the 40-49
age category in the citizens’ race.
“He passed me right at the end. He put on a sprint I
couldn’t match,” Smith said.
The top licensed rider in Smith’s age division finished
only seconds ahead of the Sheridan athlete.
The overall winner was professional cyclist Jonathan
Vaughters, 30, of Denver, who finished in 1:49:29.
Vaughters has participated in the Tour de France four
times.
Like many of today’s Tour de France competitors,
Smith bases his training — in part — on science. He
monitors his progress by riding a stationary bike indoors
thing. I think I proved that I can handle people
and I learned some things in those 4 1/2 years
(as the Reds manager in the late 1980s) that
would help me become a better manager if I
ever had the chance again.’’
We’ll get to the reason why Rose should
never, ever be given the chance again, but first
a note about timing.
In what’s become an all-too-familiar pattern,
no sooner do rumors begin floating that
Rose and major league baseball have struck a
behind-the-scenes deal than his mug is plastered
all over the screen peddling vague memories
and a series of half-truths calculated to blur
the facts.
This time, at least, MLB went out of its way
to set the record straight.
that measures watts, or power output.
“Watts don’t lie,” said Smith, who noted that other
measurements, such as heart rate, don’t measure performance
as reliably.
Smith spent most of his time training outdoors once
spring arrived, doing intervals up the paved portion of
Red Grade Road and other local hills on weekdays, and
pounding out the miles up U.S. Highways 14, 14A and 16
in the Big Horn Mountains on weekends.
Smith said he averaged about 250 miles per week —
about the same as his 2001 mileage.
“But I trained with a lot more intensity in the hills,”
Smith said.
Some weekends he would train both Saturday and
Sunday.
“Being schooled in running it never occurred to me to
try that. The joints don’t take the abuse like they do when
Gearing up for football
‘‘Totally unfounded, totally unsubstantiated’’
and ‘‘journalistically irresponsible’’ were
just a few of the phrases chief operating officer,
Bob DuPuy applied to a Web site report that
Rose has already signed an agreement to be
reinstated in 2004 and free to manage, or take
any other job in baseball without restrictions,
starting in 2005.
Though Baseball Prospectus (which provides
content for ESPN) said it was standing by
its report, DuPuy insisted there was ‘‘no decision,
no agreement, no nothing.’’
Let’s hope so.
Rose didn’t mention any deals, but it
wouldn’t be the first salient fact he’s ever left
out. He admits to a gambling problem when he
wants sympathy and denies it when victimhood

Commentary: Rose wants more than a foot in the door
makes it easier to sell souvenirs.
In the past, Rose set up a booth down the
block from the Hall of Fame during the week of
induction ceremonies and held pity parties, slipping
out of his sackcloth and ashes just long
enough to ring up customers’ purchases. And
he rarely failed to tell people heading over to
the Hall that, ‘‘if I were a dope addict, my
name would already be on a plaque down the
street there.’’
Of course, that conveniently left out his own
felony conviction and continuing tax problems,
his gambling habit and the confession that got
him bounced from baseball in the first place.

you run, so it allows an ‘old’ person like myself to push
pretty hard,” Smith said.
This was Smith’s second time to race Mount Evans,
and it was much easier this go-around.
“Having ridden the course before made a big difference
knowing what to expect. That really helped,” Smith
said.
“I didn’t suffer as much as I did before, particularly
from the altitude. I felt good. I felt strong at the top. I rode
aggressively the whole way.”
Smith’s feat was even more impressive considering
his equipment disadvantage. Most of the riders are on
$2,000 to $4,000 racing bikes that weigh 17 or 18 pounds.
Smith’s $800 machine weighs 23 pounds, which factors
heavily considering the length of the climb.
But that doesn’t bother Smith, who says he approaches
the race to beat himself, not others.
“If I think I can improve on my time, I’ll go back next
year,” Smith said.
Smith’s a relative newcomer to the sport of cycling —
he turned to two wheels several years ago when nagging
injuries brought his running career to an end.
When asked to compare his cycling accomplishment
on Mount Evans to his best times in running (a 4:14 mile,
a 30:04 10-kilometer and a 2:24:02 marathon), Smith
said, “It was satisfying, but I’m not as young as I once
was.”
Smith started winning running races while in college,
but didn’t turn to cycling until comparatively late in life.

Michael Melo, 45, of
Billerica, paid $36,000 in restitution

He pleaded guilty in May to

He admitted he wrote a computer

Northern Colorado
forfeits victories
GREELEY, Colo. (AP) —
Northern Colorado forfeited
three wins from the 2002 football
season after the NCAA said the
team used an ineligible player.
Quarterback Steve Cutlip
was ineligible for academic reasons
but played in four games,
school spokesman Colin
McDonough said.
The North Central
Conference said the forfeits to
North Dakota and Minnesota
State mean the Bears were 6-2
in league play and the championship
must be shared with St.
Cloud State (6-2).

Cuba beats U.S. for gold
SANTO DOMINGO,Dominican
Republic (AP) — The Cubans won
for Castro. And they won for a country
that needs an occasional morale
boost from its baseball team when
there’s little else to cheer about.
Cuba won its ninth straight Pan
American Games gold medal
Tuesday night, beating the United
States 3-1 behind three hits from
Ariel Pestano and the two-hit pitching
of Norge Luis Vera on two
days’ rest.
‘‘In Cuba we play with heart and
passion,’’ Pestano said. ‘‘This is our
gift to the Cuban people for all their
support and inspiration they’ve given
us since we’ve been here. Viva
Cuba!’’
Cuba also beat the Americans in
the 1999 Pan Ams in Winnipeg, 5-1.
Coach Higinio Velez dedicated
the win to Cuban president Fidel
Castro as an early birthday present.
He turns 77 on Wednesday.
U.S. reliever Huston Street held
his hat in his teeth as the dejected
Americans draped their arms over
the dugout railing and watched in
disbelief while the Cubans celebrated
wildly on the mound.
Jered Weaver (4-1), the younger
brother of New York Yankees
pitcher Jeff Weaver, took his first
loss of the summer and had his
streak of scoreless innings end at 45
2-3. He allowed eight hits and
struck out seven in eight innings.
‘‘We can’t do much about what
happened,’’ Weaver said. ‘‘I felt
great. I threw good pitches.
‘‘It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
to wear USA across your chest.’’
Yulieski Gourriel’s RBI single in
the sixth that tied the game also
broke Weaver’s impressive scoreless
innings streak. Then the Cubans,
who are professional players, tagged
the tiring Weaver for three straight
singles in the seventh. Pestano came
to the plate with runners on the corners
and no outs and drove a fastball
to shallow center field.
The American collegians finished
their sensational summer with
a 27-2 record, the winningest season
ever by the U.S. baseball team.
Their other loss was 3-0 against
Nicaragua here last Tuesday.
Cuban fans stood on their seats
dancing to festive music played by
an eight-piece band next to Cuba’s
dugout. Even the games’ official
mascot, Tito, joined in the fiesta,
shaking his giant green manatee
costume to the music as he mingled
in the crowd.
‘‘It’s a great atmosphere for
baseball,’’ U.S. coach Ray Tanner
said. ‘‘This is what it’s all about.
Much like the U.S., they have a
tremendous passion for baseball.
And they’ve been very successful.’’
Four Cuban flags were draped
over the dugout, and many smaller
ones were waved by fans, who
chanted ‘‘Cu-ba! Cu-ba!’’ Two men
held cardboard signs reading ‘‘Cuba
Campeon’’ — Cuba champion.
‘‘Their whole delegation is probably
here,’’ U.S. left fielder Danny
Putnam said.
Vera, who went eight innings in
Cuba’s 10-0 quarterfinal win
Saturday over the Dominicans,
struck out nine and walked three.

Beuerlein’s decision came down to one question
DENVER (AP) — Steve Beuerlein’s head
was swimming with questions as he contemplated
returning for a 17th year.
Did he want to put his 38-year-old body
through the rigors of another NFL season? Did he
want to move his family to Denver again? Was it
worth the trouble to come back as a backup?
The answer came after Beuerlein’s wife,
Kristen, narrowed the questions down to one.
‘‘My wife told me to just keep it very simple.
Don’t think about everything else, just think
about whether you want to play football or not,’’
Beuerlein said Tuesday. ‘‘If you want to play
football, then you need to go play another year.
And that’s what it came down to.’’
Rose
(Continued from Page B3)
The only time he referred to any of those in
his latest interview, it was under the collective
heading ‘‘some mistakes.’’
As in: ‘‘I think I can be an asset to baseball
because, there again, we know we made some
mistakes ... ‘‘
Though more people seem inclined to
demand that Rose admit those mistakes —
including that he bet on baseball — that’s almost
beside the point as it relates to managing. No
matter how many things he admits to, every bad
decision Rose ever made from the bench would
invite the kind of doubts he’ll never shed.
Consider: In each of his four full seasons on
the job, from 1985 to 1988, he led Cincinnati to
four consecutive second-place finishes. Not bad,
One of Beuerlein’s biggest concerns about
coming back was having to do it as a backup.
He had filled nearly every role imaginable as
a quarterback and didn’t see any reason to stick
around if he wasn’t going to be the starter.
Besides, he figured no one would miss the backup
quarterback if he didn’t come back.
Broncos coach Mike Shanahan put an end to
those thoughts quickly.
Just two days after signing Jake Plummer to
become the starting quarterback, Shanahan
hopped on a plane to visit the Beuerleins at their
home in Charlotte, N.C. He outlined the team’s
plans for Beuerlein and expressed how much the
team needed him for at least one more season.
by any measure. But what to make of the fact
that the first full season after Rose’s departure,
with Lou Piniella in charge, the Reds led the
division wire-to-wire and swept the Oakland A’s
in the World Series?
Not much, if you listen to Pete.
‘‘Is there an owner that would give me an
opportunity? I have to think so,’’ he said. ‘‘I
don’t want to sound cocky or brash or anything,
but there’s two things I’m going to bring to the
table — I’m going to win, and I’m going to put
people in the seats. If you’re not interested in
doing any of those things, don’t call my number.’’
But at least one owner probably has. Late last
year, there were reports of meetings between
Rose and commissioner Bud Selig about
rescinding the lifetime ban put in place by Bart
It worked.
‘‘He and I go way back, so I didn’t think it
was too odd that he would make a gesture like
that,’’ Beuerlein said. ‘‘But I did think it was odd
that they would think enough of me to make that
effort at the point.’’
Shanahan’s rationale was simple: He needed
another quarterback. Plummer was the future, but
Beuerlein would make it easier for him to get there.
No one knows the Broncos’ offense better
than Beuerlein and he could ease Plummer’s
transition into a new system. And with several
years of experience as a starter, including three
games last season, Beuerlein could step right in if
something happened to Plummer.
Giamatti, one of Selig’s predecessors.
Those talks bogged down quickly after Rose
was spotted at all his familiar haunts — the racetracks,
and casinos and sports books in Las
Vegas.
Rose has often said the reason he hangs out
in such places and takes so many questionable
outside employment opportunities — as a
greeter, shill and spokesman — is because he’s
banned from making a living inside baseball.
Funny how that never kept him away from
those places during his playing and managing
career.
None of that, apparently, has discouraged
Cincinnati owner Carl Lindner from pushing for
Rose’s reinstatement, mainly so the Reds can
rehire him soon after.
Some people never learn.

CITY OF SHERIDAN
ORDINANCE No. 1931
An ordinance amending the Sheridan City Code, Appendix A. Zoning,
Section 2., Definitions adding definitions pertaining to Adult Oriented
Businesses; amending Appendix A. Zoning, Section 7. B-1 Business
District, Section 8. B-2 Business District and Section 9. M-1 Industrial
District to allow special exemption criteria for Adult Oriented
Businesses; and amending Appendix A. Zoning, Section 10. General provisions
and exceptions, adding a new subsection 21. Procedures and
Requirements for Approval of New Sexually Oriented Businesses.
Whereas, the City Council recognizes the need to protect set standards
for Adult Oriented Businesses to ensure that secondary impacts
of these businesses are mitigated; and
Whereas the City Council recognizes the need to address compatibility
of all kinds of development to preserve community character and
promote economic development; and
Based on findings incorporated in the cases of City of Renton v.
Playtime Theatres, Inc., 475 U.S. 41(1986); Young v. American Mini

Arizona; and Whittier, California; and
Whereas the City Council finds that the health, safety and welfare of
the citizens of the City of Sheridan can be negatively impacted by
unregulated Adult Oriented Businesses for the following reasons:
1. Sexually oriented businesses require special supervision from the
public safety agencies of the city to protect and preserve the health,
safety, morals and welfare of the patrons of such businesses, as well
as the citizens of the city;
2. Sexually oriented businesses are frequently used for unlawful
sexual activities, including prostitution, and for promiscuous,
high-risk sexual liaisons;
3. The potential for sexually transmitted diseases is a legitimate
health concern of the city that demands reasonable regulation of
sexually oriented businesses to protect the health and well being of
the citizens;
4. Special Regulation is a legitimate and reasonable means of
accountability to ensure that operators of sexually oriented
businesses comply with reasonable regulations and to ensure that
operators cannot allow their establishments to be used as places of il
legal sexual activity or solicitation;
5. There is convincing documented evidence that sexually oriented
businesses, because of their very nature, have a deleterious effect on
both existing businesses around them and surrounding residential
areas, causing increased crime and downgrading property values;
6. It is recognized that sexually oriented businesses, due to their
nature, have serious objectionable operational characteristics,
particularly when located close to each other, thereby contributing
to urban blight and downgrading the quality of life in adjacent areas;
7. Location criteria alone do not adequately protect the health,
safety, and general welfare of the people of this city;
8. It is not the intent of the ordinance codified in this chapter to
suppress any speech protected by the First Amendment, but to enact
a content-neutral ordinance that addresses the secondary effects of
sexually oriented businesses;
9. It is not the intent of the City Council to condone or legitimize the
distribution of obscene material, and the council recognizes that
state and federal law prohibits the distribution of obscene materials,
and expects and encourages state law enforcement officials to
enforce state obscenity statutes against any such illegal activities in
the City;
10. Sexually oriented businesses lend themselves to ancillary
unlawful and unhealthy activities that are often uncontrolled by the
operators of the establishments. Further, there is presently no
mechanism to hold the owners of the establishments responsible for
the activities that occur on their premises;
11. Some employees of certain sexually oriented businesses, defined
in this chapter as adult theaters and adult cabarets, engage in higher
incidence of certain types of illicit sexual behavior than employees of
other establishments;
12. Sexual acts, including masturbation, and oral and anal sex, occur
at sexually oriented businesses, especially those that provide private
or semi-private booths or cubicles for viewing films, videos, or live
sex shows;
13. Offering and providing such space encourages such activities,
which creates unhealthy conditions;
14. Some people frequent certain adult theaters, adult arcades and
other sexually oriented businesses to engage in sex within the
premises of such sexually oriented businesses;
15. At least fifty communicable diseases may be spread by activities
occurring in sexually oriented businesses; including, but not limited
to, syphilis, gonorrhea, human immunodeficiency virus infection
(HIV-AIDS), genital herpes, hepatitis B, Non A, Non B amebiasis,
salmonella infections and shigella infections;
16. Sanitary conditions in some sexually oriented businesses can
become unhealthy, in part, because the activities conducted there
are unhealthy and, in part, because of the unregulated nature of the
activities and the failure of the owners and the operators of the
facilities to self-regulate those activities and maintain those facilities;
17. Numerous studies and reports have determined that semen is
found in the areas of sexually oriented businesses where people view
"adult" oriented films;
18. The findings noted above raise substantial governmental
concerns;
19. Sexually oriented businesses have operational characteristics
that the Council should reasonably regulate to protect those
substantial governmental concerns;
20. Removal of doors on adult booths and requiring sufficient lighting
on premises with adult booths advances a substantial governmental
interest in curbing the illegal and unsanitary sexual activity that is
likely in adult theaters;
21. Enactment of this chapter will promote the general welfare,
health, morals and safety of the citizens of the city.
Whereas the City Council is authorized to adopt ordinances to
protect the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the City of
Sheridan as set out in Section 15-1-103. Wyoming Statutes; therefore,
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SHERIDAN,
WYOMING THAT:
Section 1. PURPOSE AND INTENT. This ordinance is enacted to carry
out the purpose and intent of, and exercise the authority set out in
Section 15-1-103., Wyoming Statutes and to regulate sexually oriented
businesses to promote the health, safety, morals, and general welfare
of the citizens of the city, and to establish reasonable and uniform regulations
to prevent the deleterious location and concentration of sexually
oriented businesses within the City. The provisions of this chapter
have neither the purpose nor effect of imposing a limitation or restriction
on the content of any communicative materials, including sexually
oriented materials. Similarly, it is not the intent nor effect of this chapter
to restrict or deny access by adults to sexually oriented materials
protected by the First Amendment, or to deny access by the distributors
and exhibitors of sexually oriented entertainment to their intended
market. Neither is it the intent nor effect of this chapter to condone
or legitimize the distribution of obscene material.
Section 2. AMENDMENT OF EXISTING SHERIDAN CITY CODE. This
ordinance hereby amends and revises the Code of the City of Sheridan
Wyoming, as shown in Attachment A.
Section 2. EFFECTIVE DATE. The provisions of this ordinance shall
take effect upon approval by the City Council and after publication as
by law provided.
Section 3. SEVERABILITY. If any provision or portion of this ordinance
is declared by any court of competent jurisdiction to be void,
unconstitutional, or unenforceable, than all remaining provisions and
portions of this ordinance shall remain in full force and effect.
Section 4. REPEALER. All orders, bylaws, resolutions and ordinances,
or parts thereof, in conflict with this Ordinance are hereby repealed to
the extent of such inconsistency.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED, by the City Council of the City
of Sheridan Wyoming this 4th day of August, 2003.

Bridge
Bidding in front of partner is
weak
Yesterday, I pointed out
that if the opener bids one of a
suit, the next player doubles,
and the responder redoubles,
the opening side cannot sell
out to the opponents below two
of the opener's suit. If the bidding
is lower than that, either
the opponents are doubled in
their contract, or the player in
the pass-out seat must bid
something.
There is another important
aspect of this. If the opener
rebids immediately, refusing to
give his partner a chance to
double the opponents for
penalties, he is showing a minimum
or subminimum opening
bid in high-card terms. He is
saying that he opened because
he has good offense. This is
true even if he makes a jumpshift
rebid.
Now look at the West hand.
Your opponents power into
seven clubs. South has shown
a distributional heart-club twosuiter
with first-round controls
in both majors. What would
you lead?
To be honest, most pairs
would do well -- and be happy
-- to reach six clubs. But note
South's immediate jump-shift
rebid to show a distributional
Phillip Alder
Classifieds
two-suiter with limited pointcount.
Give South, say, the
diamond ace as well, and he
would make a forcing pass
over East's one spade, planning
to jump in clubs on the next
round.
Knowing South is void of
spades, West might be tempted
to lead the diamond king (or a
trump), but neither is effective.
South has sufficient clubs to
establish his hearts, draw
trumps, and cash the hearts.
However, if West leads a
top spade, that fatally reduces
South's trump length. He cannot
both set up the hearts and
draw trumps.

Georgia, Virginia and Nevada growing
Florida’s popularity slips with retirees
HAYMARKET, Va. (AP) — Frank Falsetti
doesn’t want to retire to Florida like his parents
did, so the former New York stock broker is
trading his Long Island home for a gated community
in northern Virginia, 35 minutes from
his kids.
He’s not alone. Census Bureau figures show
Florida is slipping as the destination of choice
for retirees, while states such as Georgia,
Virginia, Arizona and Nevada are growing more
popular.
‘‘We do not like Florida. It’s just too hot,’’
said Falsetti, 62. ‘‘I prefer mountains.’’
Florida still is the top destination for people
60 and older. It attracted 19 percent, or about
394,000, of the nearly 2.1 million U.S. residents
in that age group who made interstate moves
between 1995 and 2000, according to an analysis
of 2000 census data by Wake Forest
University sociology professor Charles Longino.
But it was the first time in at least four
decades that Florida attracted less than one-fifth,
Longino found. The 2000 figure was down 13
percent from a decade earlier.
Arizona, which attracted 6.5 percent, or
about 134,000 people 60 and older, was second
to Florida in 2000, followed by California,
Texas and North Carolina.
The number of older residents moving into
California from other states declined slightly, by
about 3 percent over the decade.
Arizona’s figure was 36 percent larger than a
decade ago, while Nevada grew by 42 percent.
Texas, Virginia and Georgia also had increases
of at least 28 percent.
There are myriad reasons for the changes.
Among them: cheaper housing, lower property
taxes, more open spaces and closer proximity to
family, said Mark Fagan, a sociologist at
Jacksonville (Ala.) State University, an expert
on retiree migration.
The number of retirees who move is expected
to climb as millions of baby boomers leave
the work force in the next 10 years. Officials in
states with growing elderly populations are
looking for ways to serve that population, as are
builders.
Kira McCarron, vice president of marketing
of Huntingdon Valley, Pa.-based Toll Brothers,
a luxury home builder, said her company is
focusing more on retirement communities in
states such as Virginia that have a growing population
of retirees.
Her company is building the 55-and-olderonly
community in Haymarket where Falsetti
will be moving. It boasts mountain vistas and an
18-hole golf course designed by Arnold Palmer.
Despite the economy’s recent stumbles,
today’s retirees generally are more prosperous
than previous generations, making older
Americans an attractive source of economic
development for states.
A report earlier this year by the Destination
Florida Commission said that while older residents
cost the state more in health care, their taxes
help pay for schools.
The report also noted that older residents
paid $2.8 billion more in taxes to state and local
governments than the governments spent on
them in services.
The report recommended the state begin a
marketing campaign aimed at getting baby
boomers to retire to Florida. It also suggested
property taxes be frozen for people older than 55
and that home care programs should be supported.

Cloud Peak Wilderness on Monday
afternoon, according to Sheridan

Hofmeier identified the man as

“The rescue went well,” Hofmeier

The lake is located four miles
southeast of Coffeen Park, which is
located just outside of the wilderness
and can be reached by four-wheeldrive
vehicles.
Sharp described the victim’s
injuries as “nonlife-threatening.”
Hofmeier praised the emergency
workers, adding that members of
Search and Rescue don’t get paid for
their work.
“The four volunteers did an excellent
job of getting in there and helping
to get (the victim) the medical
attention he needed, and then getting

OVERDUE THANKS
The Sheridan Press/Heather Evagelatos
HOPLAND, Calif. (AP) — Two air tankers collided while dumping
fire retardant on a Northern California wildfire, killing both
pilots.
The 250-acre brush and tree fire about eight miles south of Ukiah
burned four structures Monday and threatened more than a dozen others,
according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire
Protection. It was 50 percent contained early Tuesday.
Formal identifications of the victims had not been released.
However, the pilots assigned to the planes were identified as Larry
Groff of Santa Rosa and Lars Stratt of Chico, forestry department
spokeswoman Dianne Sanders said early Tuesday.
Jeff Anderson saw the collision from his deck.
‘‘One went straight down into the ground and exploded immediately
on impact. There was a fireball and lots of smoke,’’ Anderson
told the Santa Rosa Press Democrat. ‘‘The other one must have tried
to maintain level flight a little longer, but 10 to 15 seconds later it
crashed a little distance away.’’

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK,
(AP) — With large fires burning along its

No wood or charcoal fires will be allowed

to fire grates, charcoal grills and fire pans in

‘‘It is very dry,’’ said park spokeswoman

In addition, no smoking is allowed except

CLEARMONT — Student enrollment in
School District 3 has dropped 5 percent, according
to school officials.
There were 112 students enrolled in
Clearmont and Arvada schools on the first day
of class Monday, compared to 118 at year’s end
last spring, said the district’s secretary, Connie
Moore.
Superintendent Bill Raduenz said, “I thought
we might be down even more because we had a
large family move out of the district. They had
seven students.”
Raduenz added, “I am happy with the numbers.”
The district has 20 new students, including
six kindergartners, while nine students graduated
last spring.
“We have quite a few new kids in town. Half
are with ranching families, and the other half
are with coal-bed methane,” Raduenz said.
School-enrollment breakdowns follow (with
last spring’s comparison in parenthesis):
■ Arvada Elementary School, 14 (18);
■ Clearmont Elementary School, 36 (45);
■ Arvada-Clearmont Junior High School, 18

■ Arvada-Clearmont High School 44 (44).

lost family members in the 2001 World
Trade Center attack are planning a rally
on Sept. 10 to protest plans for rebuilding
where the towers touched the earth.
The Coalition of 9/11 Families is
staging the demonstration, one day
before the second anniversary of the
terrorist attack, to publicize their campaign
to preserve the towers’ footprints.
They want nothing built on the bedrock
below, unless it relates to the memorial.
‘‘We just want to preserve that one
special area,’’ said coalition member
Lee Ielpi, whose son Jonathan was
killed.
Plans for the site do preserve the
approximate boundaries of the towers —
to an extent. A memorial will occupy that
space about three stories above bedrock.
But the plans could allow infrastructure
and other development to encroach on
the footprints down to the bedrock.
The distinction is important to some
families, who consider the bedrock a
sacred cemetery for the nearly 2,800 people
who died.
Many of the nearly 20,000 pieces of
human remains recovered from the site
were found there, where much of the
buildings compacted during their collapse.
‘‘It’s the only thing left that we
actually can touch and connect that’s
tangible, and I think that needs to be
protected,’’ said Beverly Eckert,
whose husband, Sean Rooney, has not
been found.
The Lower Manhattan
Development Corp., the agency
charged with overseeing the rebuilding,
said officials are working to preserve
as much space as possible in the
area. It recently announced a proposal
to move a planned tour bus parking
garage — also opposed by some victims’
families — off the site to another
location.
‘‘Building on these accomplishments,
we look forward to continue to
work with the families,’’ said LMDC
spokeswoman Joanna Rose.
On Sept. 11, the Coalition plans to
show silent solidarity at the ceremony
marking the second anniversary of the
attacks.
Coalition leaders are asking supporters
to wear yellow and stand together,
but they do not plan to protest as some
news reports have suggested.
‘‘Some people want to call that a
protest. It’s not — it’s a statement,’’
Ielpi said. ‘‘We do not want anything
other than quiet on that day.’’
