Shadow Day mingled with employer<br />
mentors during a reception Tuesday<br />
at <strong>Sheridan</strong> College Main Street and<br />
found out what they need to know<br />
before showing up for “work” Friday.<br />
“What should I wear?” <strong>Sheridan</strong><br />
High School senior Matt Hurst asked<br />
Matt Ruder, a staff engineer with<br />
HKM Engineering of <strong>Sheridan</strong>.<br />
“What you’ve got on is fine —<br />
jeans and a T-shirt,” came the reply.<br />
Although Ruder’s not sure what<br />
Hurst’s assignment will be Friday,<br />
some of last year’s job-shadow students<br />
with HKM analyzed traffic<br />
flow at a downtown intersection (the<br />
data were used for the city’s transportation<br />
plan) and then visited a<br />
water pipeline HKM engineers<br />
worked on.<br />
“It’s an opportunity to get talent<br />
when they’re young and show them<br />
the potential of what they can do with<br />
an engineering degree,” said Aaron<br />
Rosenlund, an HKM staff engineer.<br />
Hurst said he’s not yet sure what<br />
area of engineering he will major in,<br />
but he plans to attend the University<br />
of Colorado at Boulder.<br />

on a $50,000 bond in <strong>Sheridan</strong><br />
County Circuit Court on<br />
Tuesday.<br />

from <strong>Sheridan</strong> College because of<br />
the allegations, Deputy County<br />
and Prosecuting Attorney Dianna<br />

Beef recalled from School Districts 1 and 2<br />
By Frances K. Foster<br />
Staff reporter<br />
Beef products from Westland Meat<br />
Packing Co. in Chino, Calif., recalled<br />
this week by the U.S. Department of<br />
Agriculture have been separated from<br />
other food at <strong>Sheridan</strong> County School<br />
Districts 1 and 2, local officials said.<br />
Recalled items will be picked up<br />
by USDA representatives in the<br />
Wyoming Department of Education<br />
Commodity Program.<br />
“We are confident that none of the<br />
beef designated for recall has been or<br />
will be served to our students,” said<br />
District 1 Business Manager Jeremy<br />
Smith.<br />
<strong>The</strong> USDA provided schools with<br />
shipping dates stamped on the cases<br />

Big Horn High School sophomore Alex Burtis speaks with WWC Engineering Geologist Mike Evers during<br />
Tuesday’s reception for Job Shadow Day sponsored by <strong>Sheridan</strong> County Chamber of Commerce. <strong>The</strong><br />
reception gave students from <strong>Sheridan</strong>, Big Horn, Tongue River, and Fort Mackenzie high schools the<br />
chance to meet the professionals they will partner with Friday.<br />
• School officials confident none of the food in question was served to students<br />
of suspect beef, so all<br />
school staff had to do was<br />
locate and separate those<br />
boxes from other food, he<br />
said.<br />
District 1 (Big<br />
Horn/Tongue River) has 32<br />
<strong>20</strong>-pound cases of the beef<br />
that will be returned to the<br />
USDA, Smith said.<br />
School District 2<br />
(<strong>Sheridan</strong>/Story) received<br />
60 cases of the beef, but<br />
“none of it has been served<br />
to the students,” said<br />
Business Manager Marilyn<br />
Koester.<br />
<strong>The</strong> recall has been rated<br />
as Class 2 by the USDA — which<br />
means there is a “remote possibility<br />
of adverse health effects” from the<br />
beef — but “no one is<br />
going to take a chance on<br />
students getting sick,”<br />
Koester said.<br />
School districts will<br />
receive a “commodity<br />
allotment” replacement for<br />
the beef that is to be<br />
returned, she added.<br />
School District 3<br />
(Arvada/Clearmont) did<br />
not receive any recalled<br />
beef, said Business<br />

Council Passes New Law<br />
to remove dead trees<br />
from private property<br />
By Josh Mitchell<br />
Staff reporter<br />
LOS ANGELES (AP) — <strong>The</strong> last<br />
total lunar eclipse until <strong>20</strong>10 occurs<br />
tonight, with cameo appearances by<br />
Saturn and the bright star Regulus on<br />
either side of the veiled full moon.<br />
Skywatchers viewing through a telescope<br />
will have the added treat of seeing<br />
Saturn’s handsome rings.<br />
Weather permitting, the total eclipse<br />
can be seen from North and South<br />
America. People in Europe and Africa<br />
will be able to see it high in the sky<br />
before dawn on Thursday.<br />
As the moonlight dims — it won’t go<br />
totally dark — Saturn and Regulus will<br />
pop out and sandwich the moon.<br />
Regulus is the brightest star in the constellation<br />
Leo.<br />
Jack Horkheimer, host of the PBS<br />
show ‘‘Star Gazer,’’ called the event<br />
‘‘the moon, the lord of the rings and<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Sheridan</strong> City Council on<br />
Tuesday unanimously approved on<br />
final reading a tree ordinance that<br />
allows the city to remove dead and diseased<br />
trees from private property.<br />
<strong>The</strong> council heard from husband<br />
and wife Helen and Nick Voyadgis,<br />
who complained the ordinance is an<br />
invasion of private property rights.<br />
“We must find a willingness to<br />
resist at the lowest levels the impulses<br />
of planners and bureaucrats to limit<br />
our freedoms,” Helen Voyadgis said.<br />
Tom O’Leary<br />
City Project<br />
Manager<br />
But City Project Manager Tom O’Leary, who drafted the<br />
ordinance, said the city wants the authority to remove dead<br />
trees from private property for public safety, because a tree<br />
may fall on a neighbor’s house.<br />
<strong>The</strong> ordinance states that the city can advise private property<br />
owners that dead or diseased trees must be removed “when<br />
such trees constitute a hazard to life and property or harbor<br />
insects or disease which constitute a potential threat to other<br />
trees within the city.”<br />
Traffic control approved<br />
for Long Drive/West Fifth<br />
By Josh Mitchell<br />
Staff reporter<br />
Please see Trees, Page 2<br />
In a 4-2 vote Tuesday, the City Council approved measures to<br />
better control traffic at the Long Drive/West Fifth Street intersection.<br />
<strong>The</strong> council approved paying overtime as necessary for a police<br />
officer to direct traffic there during the<br />
mornings and afternoons for a four-week<br />
trial period.<br />
<strong>The</strong> council also approved having<br />
city staff begin design of a four-way stop<br />
and flashing crosswalk signal for the<br />
intersection, repainting the crosswalk,<br />
and doing further study on area growth<br />
projections to see if a traffic light will be<br />
needed.<br />
City Councilors Kathy Kennedy and<br />
Scott Severs voted against the measures,<br />
with Kennedy saying she wants to further<br />
study the issue.<br />
Police Chief Mike Card said he<br />
opposes having an officer direct traffic at<br />
the intersection, because there is a limited<br />
number of officers, and directing traffic<br />
can be dangerous.<br />
<strong>The</strong> City Council has discussed<br />
putting traffic lights at the West Fifth<br />
Street/Long Drive and West<br />
Fifth/Mydland Road intersections following<br />
a school bus accident last month.<br />
A study by HKM Engineering of<br />
<strong>Sheridan</strong> showed that neither a traffic<br />
light nor four-way stop is needed at the<br />
intersections.<br />
<strong>Sheridan</strong> resident Jan Groshart told<br />
the City Council last night that a fourway<br />
stop is needed at the West<br />
Fifth/Long Drive intersection “before we<br />
lose a child.”<br />
City Councilwoman Mona Hansen<br />
asked what the school district’s responsibility<br />
is at the intersection, since the high<br />
school and Highland Park School are<br />
responsible for most of the traffic.<br />

City<br />
Councilwoman<br />
Scott<br />
Severs<br />
City<br />
Councilman<br />
Mayor Dave Kinskey said the school district could possibly use<br />
one of its school resource officers in directing traffic.<br />
New housing development from Cloud Peak Ranch and the<br />
Rockwell Petroleum building is also expected to bring more traffic<br />
to the intersection.<br />
Tonight last chance to see<br />
full lunar eclipse until <strong>20</strong>10<br />
heart of the lion eclipse.’’<br />
Tonight’s event will be the last total<br />
lunar eclipse until Dec. <strong>20</strong>, <strong>20</strong>10. Last<br />
year there were two.<br />
<strong>The</strong> weather could be a spoiler for<br />
many in the United States. Cloudy skies<br />
are expected for most of the Western<br />
states with a chance of snow from the<br />
heartland to the East Coast, said Stuart<br />
Seto of the National Weather Service.<br />
‘‘It looks like it’s going to be a hard<br />
one to spot,’’ Seto said.<br />
A total lunar eclipse occurs when the<br />
full moon passes into Earth’s shadow<br />
and is blocked from the sun’s rays that<br />
normally illuminate it. During an eclipse,<br />
the sun, Earth and moon line up, leaving<br />
a darkened moon visible to observers on<br />
the night side of the planet.<br />

Trees<br />
(Continued from Page 1)<br />
If such trees are not removed within<br />
30 days, the city can have it done and<br />
assess the property owner the cost.<br />
Under the old tree ordinance, the<br />
city could not force a private property<br />
owner to remove a dangerous tree,<br />
O’Leary said.<br />
Helen Voyadgis said some residents<br />
may not be able to afford to have a tree<br />
removed, and others may want to keep<br />
a dead tree for aesthetic reasons or<br />
food sources for birds.<br />
<strong>Sheridan</strong> resident Tyson Emborg<br />
spoke in favor of the ordinance, saying<br />
if his neighbor has a dead tree threatening<br />
his home, the city should have the<br />
authority to remove it.<br />
O’Leary added that if a person’s<br />
tree falls on a neighbor’s house, the<br />
tree owner’s insurance is not responsible<br />
for the damages.<br />
<strong>The</strong> new ordinance will make<br />
<strong>Sheridan</strong> a Tree City USA, which helps<br />
when it comes to applying for treeplanting<br />
grants, O’Leary said.<br />
As a Tree City USA, the city is<br />
obligated to spend about $30,000 annually<br />
on tree planting and maintenance,<br />
celebrate Arbor Day, and create a city<br />
tree board, O’Leary said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Voyadgises also said they<br />
oppose creating the city tree board,<br />
saying that such a board would be a<br />
“quasi-governmental organization”<br />
unelected by the public.<br />
Helen Voyadgis noted that under<br />
the ordinance, the tree board can<br />

“investigate, make findings, report and<br />

She said the ordinance is “so vague<br />
and unlimited that one immediately<br />
sees the potential for mischief, particularly<br />
for selective action upon anyone<br />
the board disdains.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> tree board, to be appointed by<br />
the mayor and City Council, will consist<br />
of a representative from the Public<br />
Works Department and up to six citizens,<br />
one of them a certified arborist.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Voyadgises should not be concerned<br />
that the tree board will not be<br />
accountable to the public, because the<br />
City Council oversees the board, and<br />
residents can appeal the board’s rulings,<br />
noted City Councilman Scott<br />
Severs.<br />
Mayor Dave Kinskey said he favors<br />
private property rights, but the city<br />
needs some authority over tree planting,<br />
noting that sometimes tree roots<br />
break water and sewer lines.<br />
O’Leary said he hopes the tree ordinance<br />
will lead to better tree-trimming<br />
methods. He said a procedure called<br />
“topping,” which involves cutting off a<br />
tree’s canopy, hurts trees.<br />
A certified arborist on the tree<br />
board can do public education about<br />
proper tree trimming, O’Leary said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> ordinance does not give the city<br />
authority to tell a private property owner<br />
how to trim his trees. But it states<br />
that public trees must be cut in a way<br />
that does not hurt them, O’Leary said.<br />
By Bob Gross<br />
Staff reporter<br />
It’s called an MOU, and<br />
many people don’t know what<br />
the letters stand for, let alone<br />
what it does.<br />
<strong>Sheridan</strong> County and the<br />
city of <strong>Sheridan</strong> have agreed to<br />
a “memorandum of understanding”<br />
to guide planning in an<br />
area close to the city but outside<br />
its corporate limits, said<br />
Mark Reid, <strong>Sheridan</strong> County<br />
planner.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> state statutes require<br />
that any subdivision that’s<br />
approved within a mile of the<br />
municipal boundaries be<br />
approved not only by the county<br />
commissioners, but also by<br />
the City Council,” said Reid.<br />
<strong>The</strong> county and the city first<br />
reached a memorandum of<br />
understanding regarding planning<br />
decisions in the one-mile<br />
area of the county contiguous<br />
to the city in <strong>20</strong>06, said Reid.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y updated that agreement in<br />
December <strong>20</strong>07, he noted.<br />
in an accounting office, Young said.<br />
Others will have direct “client interface” in RENEW<br />
classrooms, where they will observe and participate in<br />
classroom activities or in the after-school program for<br />
ages 4 and older, he said.<br />
Job Shadow Day and its reception are organized by<br />
the <strong>Sheridan</strong> County Chamber of Commerce in conjunction<br />
with school counselors and teachers, said<br />
Chamber Program Coordinator Erin Butler.<br />
This year, 164 students have been matched with 63<br />
businesses and organizations that will offer the 10ththrough<br />
12th-graders an opportunity to experience the<br />
work world for a day, Butler said.<br />

Memorandum Of Understanding<br />
• Intended as guide to planning in area just outside city limits<br />
<strong>The</strong> planning and<br />
approval process for<br />
developments in<br />
that area is still the<br />
county’s responsibility,<br />
said Reid.<br />
“In essence the<br />
county’s responsibility<br />
is to process<br />
it, handle the paperwork,<br />
get it scheduled<br />
for consideration,<br />
receive comments,<br />
put staff<br />
reports together,<br />
etc.,” said Reid.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re is a<br />
sequence of events that leads<br />
ultimately to the city’s approval<br />
and then the county commissioners,”<br />
he added. “<strong>The</strong> council<br />
would act on it prior to the<br />
commissioners’ consideration.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> idea behind the state<br />
statute, said Reid, is to facilitate<br />
development as cities<br />
expand their corporate boundaries.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> city staff will review<br />
those features of the development<br />
that are critical to them<br />

and are important to<br />
the overall expansion<br />
of the city, so they’re<br />
looking at facilities<br />
that line up with the<br />
long-term master<br />
plan of the expansion<br />
of the city,” said<br />
Reid.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> county,<br />
as long as (the<br />
development) is in<br />
the county, (is)<br />
responsible for its<br />
approval in the end,<br />
but we’re trying to<br />
facilitate wise<br />
expansion of the municipality,”<br />
he said. “So we have streets<br />
that line up in the future —<br />
what a concept.”<br />
He said whichever development<br />
standard — the city’s or<br />
the county’s — is stricter<br />
applies within the one-mile<br />
area.<br />
If the city provides infrastructure<br />
such as sewer and<br />
water lines to a development<br />
within the one-mile area, said<br />
Reid, the city will then be<br />

He said developers with city<br />

also submit a pre-annexation<br />
agreement.<br />
“It’s a statement to the<br />
effect that, ‘Yeah, we agree to<br />
that, we’re not going to fight<br />

He acknowledged there has<br />
been confusion, not only about<br />
what the memorandum of<br />
understanding does, but also<br />
the area it covers.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city and the county<br />
have agreed to work together to<br />
create a joint strategic plan in<br />
an area surrounding the city<br />
that includes and goes beyond<br />
the one-mile area covered<br />
under the memorandum of<br />

awarded a $125,575 bid for 45 new golf carts.<br />
According to golf course General Manager Brian<br />
James, <strong>20</strong> of the 40 carts being replaced are 10 years<br />
old and the others are five years old.<br />
<strong>The</strong> old carts are being traded in for $45,<strong>20</strong>0,<br />
bringing the city’s total cost for the new carts to<br />
$125,575.<br />
<strong>The</strong> council also awarded a $10,899 bid for a beverage<br />
cart to deliver booze and other drinks to<br />
golfers.<br />
<strong>The</strong> lone bid for all the vehicles came from<br />

cover the vehicles’ cost, James said.<br />
In other action, the council approved on final<br />
reading an ordinance that allows residents to have<br />
one Vietnamese potbellied pig as long as the pig is<br />
kept indoors and receives proper immunizations.<br />
A 1937 city ordinance prohibited residents from<br />
keeping any type of swine.<br />
<strong>Sheridan</strong> resident Donald Dickieson previously<br />
told the City Council he wanted to keep his pig<br />
because it is a member of his family, and the council<br />
subsequently revised the ordinance.<br />
Separately, the council gave final plat approval to<br />
a 16-lot residential subdivision on 4.93 acres south<br />
of the new Highland Park School and west of South<br />
Dome Drive.<br />

parking plan to give the Downtown <strong>Sheridan</strong><br />

Oil above $100; refinery outage, possible OPEC cut cited<br />
NEW YORK (AP) — Oil futures shot higher<br />
Tuesday, closing above $100 for the first time as<br />
investors bet that crude prices will keep climbing<br />
despite evidence of plentiful supplies and falling<br />
demand. At the pump, gas prices rose further above<br />
$3 a gallon.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re was no single driver behind oil’s sharp<br />
price jump; investors seized on an explosion at a<br />
67,000 barrel per day refinery in Texas, the falling<br />
dollar, the possibility that OPEC may cut production<br />
next month, and continuing tensions between the<br />
U.S. and Venezuela.<br />
Gasoline and heating oil prices appeared to be<br />
leading the advance, rising faster in percentage<br />
terms than oil due to the explosion Monday at Alon<br />
USA’s Big Spring, Texas, refinery, which could be<br />
shuttered for two months.<br />
‘‘<strong>The</strong> refinery fire in Texas is making people a<br />
little concerned,’’ said Michael Lynch, president of<br />
Strategic Energy & Economic Research Inc. in<br />
Amherst, Mass.<br />
Light, sweet crude for March delivery rose $4.51<br />
to settle at a record $100.01 a barrel on the New<br />

York Mercantile Exchange after earlier rising to<br />
$100.10, a new trading record. It was the first time<br />
since Jan. 3 that oil had been above $100.<br />
March gasoline jumped 10.93 cents to settle at<br />
$2.6031 a gallon, and March heating oil rose 11.45<br />
cents to settle at $2.7614 a gallon, also a record.<br />
Oil prices are still within the range of inflationadjusted<br />
highs set in early 1980. Depending on how<br />
the adjustment is calculated, $38 a barrel then would<br />
be worth $96 to $103 or more today.<br />
<strong>The</strong> dollar fell Tuesday, giving investors another<br />
reason to buy oil. Crude futures offer a hedge<br />
against a falling dollar, and oil futures bought and<br />
sold in dollars are more attractive to foreign<br />
investors when the greenback is falling.<br />
For the moment, investors appear to have put<br />
aside concerns about the economy that have sent oil<br />
prices down into the mid-$80 range twice since<br />
crude peaked above $100 last month. Traders are<br />
instead focused on the Organization of Petroleum<br />
Exporting Countries, which will meet early next<br />
month to map out production plans, and Venezuela,<br />
where President Hugo Chavez made conflicting<br />

statements this weekend about the country’s legal<br />
dispute with Exxon Mobil Corp.<br />
OPEC could move to cut production in the second<br />
quarter, typically a period of low demand,<br />
though many analysts feel that’s unlikely. In<br />
Venezuela, Chavez said he was not serious about an<br />
earlier threat to cut oil sales to the U.S., but also<br />
threatened to sue Exxon Mobil. <strong>The</strong> world’s largest<br />
oil company is fighting Venezuela’s nationalization<br />
of an oil project, and recently convinced several<br />
courts to freeze $12 billion in Venezuelan oil assets.<br />
None of the news is enough to justify a nearly $3<br />
a barrel jump in the price of crude, said James<br />
Cordier, founder of OptionSellers.com, a Tampa,<br />
Fla., trading firm. Echoing other analysts, Cordier<br />
argued that the oil market is in the process of<br />
‘‘decoupling’’ from oil’s supply and demand fundamentals.<br />
He said investors drawn by the falling dollar<br />
and momentum are pushing oil prices sharply<br />
higher despite reports last week from the Energy<br />
Department, OPEC and the International Energy<br />
Agency which all cut oil demand growth predictions<br />
for this year.<br />

Opinion THE<br />
SHERIDAN <strong>Press</strong> <strong>Wednesday</strong>,<br />
‘Liberal’ media<br />
support troops<br />
by portraying<br />
them as victims<br />
<strong>The</strong> Berkeley City Council has made national news<br />
by telling Marine Corps recruiters that they are unwelcome<br />
in that bastion of the academic left.<br />
It is a shame that Berkeley is not on some island in<br />
the South Pacific, because then they could be given<br />
their independence and left to defend themselves.<br />
As it is, members of our armed forces who put their<br />
lives on the line to defend America are also defending<br />
people like too many in Berkeley for whom the very<br />
word America, and the American flag, bring only<br />
sneers.<br />
Unfortunately, Berkeley is not unique. A professor<br />
at Harvard who put an American flag on his car after<br />
9/11 provoked looks of astonishment from his colleagues.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y wondered what<br />
was wrong with him.<br />
All across the country, there<br />
are professors who push for<br />
keeping military recruiters off<br />
campus and for banning<br />
ROTC. Apparently if they<br />
don't like the military, then<br />
other people — such as students<br />
— should not be allowed<br />
to make up their own minds<br />
whether they want to join or<br />
Thomas<br />
Sowell<br />
Columnist<br />
not.<br />
Liberals in general, and<br />
academics in particular, like to<br />
boast of their open-mindedness<br />
and acceptance of non-<br />
conformity. But they mean not conforming to the<br />
norms of society at large.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y have little or no tolerance to those who do not<br />
conform to the norms of academic political correctness.<br />
Nowhere else in America is free speech so<br />
restricted as on academic campuses with speech<br />
codes.<br />
In Berkeley, as elsewhere, the left has learned to<br />
cloak its anti-military intolerance with the magic<br />
words, "We support the troops."<br />
<strong>The</strong> liberal media use the same line when they<br />
undermine the military.<br />
In this, as in other things, the flagship of the media<br />
is the New York Times. Unsubstantiated charges<br />
against American troops in Iraq are front page news<br />
but incredible acts of heroism in battle are seldom<br />
reported there, if at all.<br />
Although things go wrong in every war, things that<br />
went wrong in Iraq — whether large or small — have<br />
been front page news in the New York Times. But<br />
when the military surge was followed by things going<br />
right, the Iraq war was suddenly no longer front page<br />
news.<br />
Back during the Vietnam war, the media criticized<br />
the American military for its emphasis on enemy<br />
casualties or "body count." Today the media have<br />
been fixated on American body count.<br />
What has been accomplished by the troops who lost<br />
their lives in battle has been of no interest to those<br />
who claim to be "supporting the troops."<br />
That thousands of Iraqis who fled the country during<br />
the height of the violence and turmoil are now<br />
returning is no big deal to the media.<br />
Those in the military who made this possible by<br />
putting their own lives on the line are not heroes to<br />
the media. Indeed, one of the consistent patterns in the<br />
liberal media has been to depict the troops not as<br />
heroes but as victims.<br />
<strong>The</strong> financial problems of some reservists who were<br />
called away from their civilian jobs were front page<br />
news in the New York Times. So were sorrowful<br />
goodbyes from family and friends.<br />
All these things made the troops victims. So does<br />
body count.<br />
Just last month, the New York Times found yet<br />
another way to portray the troops as victims. It ran a<br />
very long article, beginning on the front page of the<br />
Jan. 13 issue, about killings in the United States by<br />
combat veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.<br />
"In many of those cases," it said, "combat trauma<br />
and the stress of deployment" were among the factors<br />
which "appear to have set the stage for a tragedy that<br />
was part destruction, part self-destruction."<br />
As with so many other things said by liberals, the<br />
big question that was not asked was: Compared to<br />
what?<br />
As the New York Post reported a couple of days<br />
later, the murder rate among returning military combat<br />
veterans is one-fifth that of civilians in the same<br />
age brackets.<br />
So much for "supporting the troops" by depicting<br />
them as victims.<br />

recent letter about the warped rationalizers, pseudopatriots,<br />
and blind obeyers, also known at the Tuesday<br />
evening protesters.<br />
Actually, Dale, you don't know what we have done,<br />
outside of the vigils, to support the troops.<br />
Have you ever engaged in a discussion with any of<br />
"these" people in order to learn what we think and what<br />
we have done?<br />
Three of the people at the most recent vigil were military<br />
veterans. I guess they know a thing or two about<br />
the service.<br />
<strong>The</strong> majority of the population is opposed to the war,<br />
not just those people who vigil weekly. So, I have to<br />
ask, are your comments aimed at all of them too?<br />
That's all for now. Thank you.<br />

Attorney says <strong>Press</strong><br />

Editor:<br />
I am an attorney who represents Paul Del Rossi.<br />
<strong>The</strong> latter part of your Feb. 18 article concerning the<br />
announcement by Holy Name Church that it was planning<br />
to purchase the Central School property from Paul<br />
Del Rossi contained a rather blatant incorrect quote by<br />
Mr. Fernando Pages.<br />
In that part of the article, the <strong>Press</strong> reporter<br />
describes that Mr. Pages and Brighton had filed a lawsuit<br />
against Mr. Del Rossi that included claims about<br />
the Central School property.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Press</strong> then “reported” a quote from Mr. Pages in<br />
which Mr. Pages fails to accurately state that his lawsuit<br />
had already been fully released and is being dismissed.<br />
Mr. Pages’ statement implies that his lawsuit was<br />
still pending against Mr. Del Rossi or the Central<br />

Not all working Wyomingites benefit from the energy<br />
boom, according to "<strong>The</strong> State of Working<br />
Wyoming," a new report from the Equality State Policy<br />
Center.<br />
Record-high energy production means high wages<br />
and increased employment in the energy industries, but<br />
according to statistics collected by the Wyoming<br />
Department of Employment, more than half the new<br />
jobs in natural resources and mining from <strong>20</strong>04-<strong>20</strong>06<br />
went to nonresidents.<br />
Wyoming’s per capita income is relatively high, just<br />
over $37,000 in <strong>20</strong>05 (note: the lag time for generating<br />
these official statistics is considerable), but this does<br />
not mean everyone in the state makes that kind of money.<br />
Per capita income is determined by taking total<br />
income for everyone in the state, including dividends,<br />
royalties, rents, interest, and other sources of income in<br />
addition to salaries and wages, and dividing by the population.<br />
<strong>The</strong> energy boom pulls up Wyoming’s per capita<br />
income in two ways: the relatively high wages paid in<br />
the energy industries; and the royalties paid to private<br />
mineral owners.<br />
Wyomingites who work outside the energy sector or<br />
who do not own shares of production see little of the<br />
additional boom income. <strong>The</strong>y also must deal with the<br />
pressures on housing, child care, and other services<br />
generated by boom growth.<br />
School property somehow as of Feb. 18 and that it<br />
could somehow be affected by the property sale to Holy<br />
Name Church.<br />
Had the <strong>Press</strong> bothered to call the courthouse before<br />
blundering ahead to print the story, it would have<br />
learned that Mr. Pages and Brighton expressly asked<br />
the District Court to stay their lawsuit in late January<br />
because the case had settled. (See attached file stamped<br />
Court Order dated Jan. 31, <strong>20</strong><strong>08</strong>).<br />
<strong>The</strong> District Court also has on file a stipulation to<br />
dismiss the Pages/Brighton lawsuit against Mr. Del<br />
Rossi signed by Mr. Pages and Brighton’s attorney dated<br />
Feb. 11. (See attached stipulation to dismiss Mr.<br />
Pages’ and Brighton’s claims with prejudice and agreed<br />
order of dismissal filed Feb. 11, <strong>20</strong><strong>08</strong>.)<br />
<strong>Sheridan</strong> county clerk records also show clearly that<br />
on Feb. 7, Mr. Pages and Brighton expressly released<br />
all of their claims against Mr. Del Rossi, his property,<br />
and all claims they might possibly have against or concerning<br />
the Central School property or its present<br />
record owner.<br />
(See attached release of claims and liens dated Feb.<br />
7, <strong>20</strong><strong>08</strong>, and recorded in the <strong>Sheridan</strong> county clerk’s<br />
office on Feb. 8 at Book 493, Pages <strong>02</strong>83-<strong>02</strong>93.)<br />
One simple <strong>Sheridan</strong> <strong>Press</strong> phone call to the court or<br />
Mr. Del Rossi would have made these facts known<br />
right away.<br />
Respectfully, you owe Mr. Del Rossi, the folks at<br />
Holy Name Church, and the present owners of the<br />
Central School property an immediate printed apology<br />
and retraction for this incorrect reporting.<br />

Writer gives lesson on Muslims’<br />
world-dominance agenda<br />
Editor:<br />
Quote from Agri-news, Jan. 11:<br />
“I know there are some people in the U.S. who feel<br />
sorry for us and do not understand our sacrifice, but I<br />
can tell you that the huge majority of soldiers out here<br />
fighting the fight are doing it because we feel a great<br />
sense of loyalty and patriotism for our country.<br />
"<strong>The</strong> State of Working<br />
Wyoming" also looks at<br />
Wyoming’s gender wage gap, the<br />
difference in wages earned by<br />
women and by men.<br />
Although Wyoming ranks<br />
high among the states in the number<br />
of women who own homes<br />
and businesses, its gender wage<br />
gap continues to be among the<br />
worst.<br />
Politicians frequently<br />
blame Wyoming’s gender wage<br />
gap on the fact that the high-pay-<br />
ing energy industries are male-dominated occupations,<br />
indicating that there’s nothing they can do<br />
about it.<br />
However, a study authorized by the Wyoming<br />
Legislature also pointed to relatively low compensation<br />
in female-dominated occupations such as teaching<br />
and nursing, and the prevalence of part-time<br />
employment among women.<br />
"<strong>The</strong> State of Working Wyoming" commends the<br />
Wyoming Legislature for its recent investments in<br />
education, including teachers’ salaries, and recommends<br />
that the state consider policies to enhance the<br />
value of part-time employment.<br />
<strong>The</strong> report also recommends raising the minimum<br />
wage for tipped employees, now set at $2.30/hour,<br />
and indexing the state minimum wage of $5.15/hour<br />
to the federal minimum wage or to inflation so that its<br />
buying power does not continue to erode.<br />

Julie Saffel in her letter to the editor of Feb. 14<br />

“I could give examples in history when citizens<br />

back to school, but tune in to the real world.<br />
<strong>The</strong> “war” is not in Iraq or Afghanistan. <strong>The</strong>re are<br />
battles there, yes! And there will be more. <strong>The</strong> “war”<br />
is worldwide. If you and your friends have your way,<br />

the U.S. government and the other tribes.<br />
On a much larger but similar scale, this is what is<br />
happening in Iraq and Afghanistan.<br />

issue for Wyoming’s working families. Nearly 90,000<br />
Wyomingites have no insurance.<br />
Although some state children have insurance<br />
through the KidCare CHIP program, no "safety net"<br />
exists for adults who are not disabled.<br />
State studies of the income needed to cover basic<br />
household expenses throughout Wyoming show that<br />
individuals and families must earn about twice the<br />
poverty level just to get through the month (no vacations,<br />
movies, savings, etc.)<br />
If workers do not have job-based health insurance,<br />
they may not be able to afford private insurance in<br />
Wyoming’s uncompetitive market, and simply have to<br />
hope that they do not fall ill and into poverty.<br />
"<strong>The</strong> State of Working Wyoming" concludes with<br />
the recommendation that the pace of development be<br />
slowed in order to reduce the intensity of boom impacts<br />
on Wyoming’s communities and wildlife and to extend<br />

Think twice before buying an Easter bunny<br />
By Linda Lombardi<br />
For <strong>The</strong> Associated <strong>Press</strong><br />
Easter rabbits: chocolate, or furry?<br />
If you’re tempted by the furry ones,<br />
especially for children, better do your<br />
research first.<br />
‘‘People buy them thinking they’re<br />
great low-maintenance starter pets,’’<br />
says Mary Cotter, vice president and<br />
education/outreach director of the<br />
House Rabbit Society. But that’s a<br />
misconception, she says: ‘‘<strong>The</strong>y’re<br />
closer to dogs and cats than they are to<br />
the so-called pocket pets.’’<br />
Cotter, of Bronxville, N.Y., has a<br />
dog as well as rabbits, and says that<br />
she thinks that rabbits are actually the<br />
more time-consuming of the two.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y have cages that need to be<br />
cleaned, like other small animals, but<br />
they need social interaction like a dog<br />
does, at least a couple of hours out of<br />
their cage each day.<br />
And your home needs to be carefully<br />
rabbit-proofed against chewing.<br />
<strong>The</strong> many electrical cords required by<br />
modern living are a particular hazard.<br />
Because people often don’t under-<br />
zation in past years.<br />
Case helps with the financial assistance<br />
paperwork for Girl Scouts in <strong>Sheridan</strong> and<br />
helps manage the Rowena Griffith fund.<br />
• Bessie Moore, who received an<br />
Outstanding Volunteer pin.<br />
She has helped with a Girl Scout troop<br />
for four years, arranging guest speakers and<br />
community-service projects.<br />
According to GSCW, Moore “is always<br />
positive and does a wonderful job building<br />
self-esteem in the girls. <strong>The</strong> girls know that<br />
they can ask her questions and get an<br />
answer.”<br />
Moore also is a volunteer for the homeless<br />
shelter, Salvation Army and <strong>Sheridan</strong><br />
VA Medical Center.<br />
stand what they’re getting into when<br />
they buy a rabbit, her rescue organization<br />
gets at least 30 phone calls a<br />
month from people wanting to give<br />
them up, many of which were bought<br />
as gifts for children at Easter.<br />
That problem is why the Columbus<br />
House Rabbit Society started its<br />
‘‘Make Mine Chocolate!’’ campaign,<br />
says chapter manager Karalee Curry.<br />
<strong>The</strong> campaign encourages a better<br />
understanding of rabbits by distributing<br />
educational literature and raises<br />
awareness of the Easter issue by selling<br />
rabbit pins.<br />
• Janet Stacy, who received an<br />
Outstanding Leaders pin.<br />
She is a co-leader for a Junior troop as<br />
well as the service unit product sales manager.<br />
“She is always willing to help with anything<br />
the troop does,” GSCW stated. “She<br />
goes above and beyond to make sure Girl<br />
Scouts is a fun learning experience for all the<br />
girls. She is always a positive influence on the<br />
girls. Her troop has girls with special needs,<br />
and she gives the extra measure to ensure they<br />
receive the one-on-one time that they need.”<br />
Stacy also volunteers at her children’s<br />
school and <strong>Sheridan</strong> VAMC.<br />

Badge II.<br />
Powell woman loves doing wedding cakes<br />
POWELL (AP) — Judy Walsh<br />
never planned to decorate wedding<br />
cakes; it just sort of happened.<br />
‘‘I started decorating cakes years<br />
ago, basically for my family to begin<br />
with,’’ she said. ‘‘I took one class in<br />
1977. I was self taught after that —<br />
trial and error, I guess you could say.’’<br />
Soon, without any effort on her<br />
part, word of mouth spread and people<br />
began calling with requests for<br />
decorated cakes.<br />
‘‘If I had time, I would do it,’’ she<br />
said. ‘‘One thing led to another, and I<br />
started doing wedding cakes.’’<br />
As time went by, wedding cakes<br />
became her favorite cake-decorating<br />
projects.<br />
‘‘I’d much rather do a wedding<br />
cake for 400 people than cakes for<br />
birthdays,’’ she said. ‘‘Isn’t that funny?’’<br />
While many cake decorators prefer<br />
smaller — and easier — birthday and<br />
special-occasion cakes, Walsh does<br />
those only for her grandchildren these<br />
days.<br />
Even then, ‘‘I grit my teeth the<br />
whole time I’m doing it,’’ she said.<br />
Walsh, of Powell, decorates several<br />
wedding cakes per year — with<br />
some preset limitations. She decorates<br />
with frosting textures, patterns and<br />
borders, accented by ribbons and real<br />
flowers, and no flowers made of frosting.<br />
‘‘I don’t do frosting flowers,’’ she<br />
said. ‘‘When you’re not good at<br />
something, it’s best to stay away from<br />
it.’’<br />
Besides, she said, ‘‘It’s much simpler<br />
and a lot prettier to use fresh<br />
flowers. Fresh flowers are much<br />
classier than an old frosting flower.’’<br />
Walsh said she used to get most of<br />
her ideas for wedding cakes from the<br />
Wilton cake-decorating book.<br />
Nowadays, though, brides often come<br />
to her with their own ideas.<br />
Sometimes they get the designs for<br />
their cakes from the Internet; sometimes<br />
from brides’ magazines. Some<br />
brides make up their own designs.<br />
Brides today often are a little more<br />
brave in that way than those of<br />
yesteryear, Walsh added.<br />
GSCW stated, “In over 45 years of Girl<br />
Scouting, this Thanks Badge II recipient<br />
has exemplified the characteristics that distinguish<br />
a model Scout and adult volunteer.<br />
Her dedication to the Girl Scout program in<br />
Wyoming has enriched the lives of thousands<br />
of girls and inspired countless adult<br />
volunteers.”<br />
Harm began her Scouting career in the<br />
late 1950s, eventually earning the Curved<br />
Bar before she graduated from high school.<br />
She was a Girl Scout troop leader from the<br />
early 1970s until 1999.<br />
“Throughout this time, she was an<br />
excellent troop leader,” according to<br />
GSCW. “She encouraged girls to realize<br />
their dreams, no matter how large. She took<br />
One of the more unusual cakes<br />
Walsh decorates is what she calls a<br />
‘‘stack of packages,’’ with several<br />
square cakes piled on top of each other.<br />
Walsh makes her wedding cakes<br />
with chocolate or carrot cake, or white<br />
cake with raspberry or lemon filling.<br />
She uses only cream cheese or chocolate<br />
frosting.<br />
<strong>The</strong> results are delicious, as well as<br />
beautiful, creations.<br />
Walsh said she gets many compliments<br />
on how her cakes taste.<br />
But to her, ‘‘It’s not a big deal,’’<br />
she added. ‘‘I’d rather have a coconut<br />
cream pie, myself,’’ she added with a<br />
laugh.<br />
Actually, serving pies instead of<br />
cakes at weddings is a new trend, with<br />
the pies arranged in tiered, decorative<br />
displays, she said.<br />
But she hasn’t had any requests for<br />
wedding pies yet, and that suits her<br />
just fine.<br />
Walsh said she doesn’t do a lot of<br />
wedding cakes, but she enjoys the<br />
ones she does.<br />
her troop camping annually, beginning in<br />
the Big Horn Mountains in the 1970s, then<br />
Camp Tatoka from 1981 on.”<br />
Harm also chaperoned her troop of<br />
Cadette Girl Scouts on a cross-country<br />
Amtrak trip. “In addition to providing lifelong<br />
memories,” GSCW added, “these trips<br />
also taught her troop members the valuable<br />
life skills of cooperation, budgeting, planning,<br />
outdoor skills and self-reliance.”<br />
Since 1996, Harm has served as codirector<br />
or director of Camp Tatoka, as<br />
well as service unit manager and event<br />
director.<br />
GSCW added, “Her commitment to the<br />
Girl Scout program in Wyoming is exceptional.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> former first lady<br />
now looks to a debate<br />
Thursday in Austin, Texas,<br />
to stall Obama’s momentum<br />
and reinvigorate her campaign.<br />
‘‘<strong>The</strong> change we seek is<br />
still months and miles<br />
away,’’ Obama told a boisterous crowd in Houston<br />
in a speech Tuesday night in which he also pledged<br />
to end the war in Iraq in his first year in office.<br />
‘‘I opposed this war in <strong>20</strong><strong>02</strong>. I will bring this war<br />
to an end in <strong>20</strong>09. It is time to bring our troops<br />
home,’’ he declared.<br />

Washington, to continue his march toward certain<br />

When the female arrived in the room, Taylor started<br />
kissing her, and she told him to leave her alone, and he<br />
said, “No it’s fine. That’s why you came over here,”<br />
charging documents state.<br />
<strong>The</strong> female broke one of her earrings trying to fight<br />
off Taylor, charging documents state.<br />
She said they had intercourse, and she was telling<br />
him to stop, and he said, “Not until I’m finished,”<br />

Taylor walked to the sink because his phone was<br />
ringing and told the female, “Well, I’ll see you tomorrow,”<br />

<strong>The</strong> female left and called someone who met her in<br />
the lobby, charging documents state. It is unclear who<br />

nomination.<br />
In a race growing<br />
increasingly negative,<br />
Obama cut deeply into<br />
Clinton’s political bedrock<br />
in Wisconsin, splitting the<br />
support of white women<br />
almost evenly with her.<br />
According to polling place<br />
interviews, he also ran well<br />
among working class voters<br />
in the blue collar battleground<br />
that was prelude to<br />
primaries in the larger<br />
industrial states of Ohio and<br />
Pennsylvania.<br />
Clinton congratulated<br />
Obama on <strong>Wednesday</strong> for<br />
his two latest victories but dismissed the Illinois senator<br />
as leading a movement with little to show for<br />
his eloquence and promises.<br />
She depicted Obama’s candidacy as a ‘‘campaign<br />
about a campaign’’ and cast herself as a champion of<br />
the middle class in a speech to a fundraiser at New<br />
York’s Hunter College. ‘‘Others might be joining a<br />
movement. I’m joining you on the night shift, on the<br />
day shift,’’ Clinton said to applause and cheers.<br />
the person she called is, because names in the charging<br />
documents are blacked out.<br />
<strong>Sheridan</strong> College police were called, and the female<br />
went to <strong>Sheridan</strong> Memorial Hospital, where she underwent<br />
an examination<br />
that found evidence of injury.<br />
Officers interviewed Taylor, who said the female<br />
called him and sent him a text message, saying she was<br />
coming over, charging documents state.<br />
Prosecuting attorney Dianna Bennett in court<br />
Tuesday told Judge John Sampson that Taylor had been<br />
arrested for sexual assault in Illinois on July 6, <strong>20</strong>05.<br />
Police seized a condom, two pillows, a bedsheet, a<br />
comforter, and a pair of sweat pants from the <strong>Sheridan</strong><br />
College room, charging documents state.<br />

Lawmakers heavily amend<br />
‘castle doctrine’ bill<br />
CHEYENNE (AP) — A Wyoming legislative<br />
committee heavily amended a selfdefense<br />
bill Tuesday evening to remove a<br />
key provision that had specified homeowners<br />
couldn’t be prosecuted if they kill anyone<br />
who entered their homes illegally.<br />
<strong>The</strong> action by the House Judiciary<br />
Committee leaves the bill sponsored by<br />
Rep. Lorraine Quarberg, R-<strong>The</strong>rmopolis,<br />
with only one remaining feature: It would<br />
specify that residents who used deadly<br />
force against intruders would be immune<br />
from civil lawsuits.<br />
As amended, the bill would continue to<br />
leave decisions about whether to prosecute<br />
people who kill intruders into their homes<br />
in the hands of prosecutors and judges.<br />
‘‘This really looks quite a bit different than it did<br />
when it came in,’’ Quarberg said of her bill after the<br />
committee finished amending it.<br />
Testifying Tuesday morning to the committee,<br />
Quarberg said Wyoming needs to make its law on self-<br />
Lorraine<br />
Quarberg<br />
R-<strong>The</strong>rmopolis<br />
defense clearer and easier for people who<br />
aren’t lawyers to understand. <strong>The</strong> committee<br />
continued its hearing on the bill Tuesday<br />
evening, after the day’s legislative floor session.<br />
‘‘Currently, Wyoming has no statute<br />
on self defense and use of deadly force,’’<br />
Quarberg said.<br />
Quarberg and other supporters have<br />
said that such a ‘‘castle doctrine’’ bill is necessary<br />
to specify that Wyoming residents have no<br />
duty to retreat from criminals in their own<br />
homes. <strong>The</strong>y say the principle goes back to the<br />
English common law saying that, ‘‘a man’s<br />
home is his castle.’’<br />
<strong>The</strong> National Rifle Association has<br />
pushed similar legislation through in <strong>20</strong> states around the<br />
country, a spokesman for the group said last week.<br />
Legislation is pending in five other states, including<br />
Wyoming.<br />
Quarberg has said that while she’s a life member of<br />
the NRA, the group didn’t help her draft her legislation.<br />
Pros, cons of city administrator debated tonight<br />
From staff reports<br />
Mike Watkins, Dave Engels,<br />
George Carter and Vicki Taylor<br />
will debate the pros and cons of a<br />
city administrator at the <strong>Sheridan</strong><br />
Eclipse<br />
(Continued from Page 1)<br />
<strong>The</strong> moon doesn’t go black because indirect sunlight<br />
still reaches it after passing through the Earth’s atmosphere.<br />
Since the atmosphere filters out blue light, the<br />
indirect light that reaches the moon transforms it into a<br />
reddish or orange tinge, depending on how much dust<br />
and cloud cover are in the atmosphere at the time.<br />
<strong>Wednesday</strong>’s total eclipse phase will last nearly an<br />
Senior Citizens Center at 7 o’clock<br />
tonight.<br />
<strong>Sheridan</strong> residents will vote on<br />
an ordinance establishing a city<br />
administrator/council form of government<br />
for <strong>Sheridan</strong> on Feb. 28 at<br />
the Senior Center.<br />
Tonight’s debate is sponsored<br />
by the <strong>Sheridan</strong> County Democratic<br />
Party, <strong>Sheridan</strong> County Taxpayers<br />
Association, and Taxpayer<br />
Advocates for <strong>Sheridan</strong> County.<br />
hour. Earth’s shadow is expected to blot out the moon<br />
beginning around 7 p.m. on the West Coast and 10 p.m.<br />
on the East Coast. West Coast skygazers will miss the<br />
start of the eclipse because it occurs before the moon<br />
rises.<br />
Unlike solar eclipses which require protective eyewear,<br />
lunar eclipses are safe to view with the naked eye.<br />
Later this year, in August, there will be a total solar<br />
eclipse and a partial lunar eclipse.<br />

CHEYENNE (AP) — A state investigation<br />
determined Wyoming had no<br />
policies in place last year to track violence<br />
against inmates being housed in<br />
out-of-state prisons. <strong>The</strong> probe also<br />
found that the beating of a state inmate<br />
by other inmates at a private prison last<br />
year in Oklahoma was not thoroughly<br />
investigated.<br />
<strong>The</strong> investigation by Maj. William<br />
Moore of the Wyoming Department of<br />
Corrections found ‘‘no WDOC Policy,<br />
Procedure or Directive is in place that<br />
requires the tracking and compliance of<br />
out of state incidents to ensure that these<br />
incident (sic) are properly tracked for<br />
compliance.’’<br />

‘‘no institutional deficiency that may<br />
have contributed to the inmate on<br />
inmate assault.’’<br />
<strong>The</strong> inmate, whose name was<br />
redacted from documents released to the<br />
AP, sustained injuries in the beating and<br />
was airlifted to Oklahoma City for treatment.<br />
He later returned to the prison that<br />
day.<br />
In his report, Moore found the CCA<br />
prison investigator ‘‘conducted the most<br />

this incident and what little was accomplished<br />
focused only on the assault.’’<br />
Attempts to reach a spokesman at<br />

House approves dogfighting felony<br />
CHEYENNE (AP) — Legislators are attempting<br />
to make dog- and cockfighting a felony in<br />
Wyoming after Gov. Dave Freudenthal said<br />
national media scrutinized the state for lax dog<br />
fighting penalties.<br />
<strong>The</strong> issue was raised when Atlanta Falcons’<br />
quarterback Michael Vick was indicted on federal<br />
dogfighting charges. He was suspended indefinitely<br />
by the NFL, pleaded guilty this summer<br />
and has been sentenced to nearly two years in<br />
prison.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Wyoming House gave preliminary<br />
approval to the bill Tuesday. <strong>The</strong> bill would<br />
need two more approvals from the House before<br />

going to the Senate.<br />
Bill sponsor Rep. Rosie Berger, R-Big Horn,<br />
said passage of the bill would send a message to<br />
dog fighting offenders that Wyoming doesn’t<br />
want them here.<br />
‘‘In my community this is an issue,’’ Berger<br />
said. ‘‘We just feel very good about this one.’’<br />
If the bill passes, Wyoming would be among<br />
48 states with felony animal fighting statutes.<br />
Wyoming law currently lists dog- and cockfighting<br />
as a high misdemeanor punishable by<br />
less than a year in jail and a $5,000 fine. <strong>The</strong> bill<br />
would increase the penalty to as much as two<br />
years in prison and a $5,000 fine.<br />

Rawlins finding<br />
more volunteers<br />
for fire department<br />
RAWLINS (AP) — Rawlins<br />
Fire Chief Scott Hannum says a<br />
more aggressive recruiting effort<br />
to find volunteer firefighters is<br />
paying off.<br />
Hannum said the Rawlins<br />
Fire Department’s six-month<br />
training program should produce<br />
a four-person class in April.<br />
<strong>The</strong> fire department currently<br />
has about 25 volunteers.<br />
Hannum said he’d like to<br />
have 30 volunteer firefighters on<br />
the Rawlins Fire Department<br />
force by the end of the year.<br />
He says volunteer firefighters<br />
are essential to the department.<br />
DEQ groundwater<br />
cleanup continues<br />
in Powell<br />
POWELL (AP) — Efforts to<br />
clean up groundwater pollution<br />
caused by leaking underground<br />
fuel storage tanks in the area continue<br />
although progress has been<br />
made since work began nearly a<br />
decade ago.<br />
‘‘We’ve got the bulk of the<br />
contamination in most of these<br />
places contained,’’ said Paul<br />
Wollenzien, manager of the<br />
Powell project for the Wyoming<br />
Department of Environmental<br />
Quality.<br />
But work continues at several<br />
sites in an effort to bring the<br />
groundwater up to EPA drinking<br />
water standards, he said.<br />
‘‘A lot of these sites are just<br />
over the limit.’’<br />
<strong>The</strong> project began in the late<br />
1990s with 19 sites where underground<br />
contamination ‘‘plumes’’<br />
were found through soil testing.<br />
<strong>The</strong> testing was spurred by complaints<br />
from residents who reported<br />
gasoline fumes in their homes<br />
in several Powell neighborhoods.<br />
Many of the sites were linked<br />
to underground storage tanks that<br />
already had been removed.<br />
DEQ officials were careful to<br />
specify that although plumes<br />
were found near some currently<br />
operating businesses, they were<br />
not linked to practices of those<br />
businesses.<br />
Wollenzien said clean up<br />
efforts are still under way at five<br />
of the 19 original contaminated<br />
sites.<br />
<strong>The</strong> clean up effort is paid for<br />
by funds generated by<br />
Wyoming’s fuel tax.<br />
Highway Patrol<br />
to graduate 16<br />
CODY (AP) — <strong>The</strong><br />
Wyoming Highway Patrol<br />
expects to fill 16 trooper vacancies<br />
around the state after graduating<br />
a new class of recruits this<br />
week.<br />
Graduation ceremonies for<br />
trooper certification training are<br />
planned this Friday in<br />
Cheyenne.<br />
To become a trooper, recruits<br />
need to pass written exams and<br />
oral interviews, as well as agility<br />
tests, psychological reviews and<br />
background checks. A physical<br />
also is required.<br />
<strong>The</strong> main requirement is 25<br />
weeks of intensive training,<br />
including marksmanship and<br />
coursework on state laws.<br />
Three troopers are joining the<br />
force in Gillette and two each in<br />
Lander and Rawlins. One trooper<br />
each is going to work in<br />
Buffalo, Laramie, Douglas, Big<br />
Piney, Jackson, Wamsutter,<br />
Lusk, Farson and Lyman.

Sessions meets<br />
life’s challenges with<br />
unshakable diligence<br />
Summit Award winner<br />
Miranda Sessions is<br />
a strong academic student<br />
who has worked<br />
diligently to prepare herself<br />
for life after high<br />
school.<br />
Sessions’ family<br />
moved to <strong>Sheridan</strong> from<br />
Gillette last August to<br />
follow the family’s business.<br />
Most seniors’ preparation<br />
for college usually<br />
doesn’t involve a change<br />
in high schools, but this<br />
has not shaken Sessions’<br />
success as a student at<br />
<strong>Sheridan</strong> High School.<br />
‘Harvey Birdman’ lands<br />
on the gaming console<br />

AP Tech Writer<br />
Miranda<br />
Sessions<br />
Summit<br />
Award Winner<br />
School guidance counselor<br />
Brenda White states: “Miranda has<br />
done a great job of making new<br />
friends and being involved in school<br />
activities and plans to play soccer<br />
this spring.<br />
“She is a very sweet young lady<br />
and a dedicated student. I have<br />
enjoyed getting to know her this<br />
year, and I know she will be successful<br />
after she leaves here.”<br />
Sessions’ initial challenge was to<br />
adapt to the way courses are offered<br />
at SHS. In Gillette, students work<br />
off a block schedule, which is four<br />
classes per day, compared to the<br />
seven classes per day at SHS.<br />
This proved to be more difficult<br />
than Sessions predicted, requiring<br />
much more homework than her old<br />
school; however, she still maintains<br />
a GPA of 3.9.<br />
Her favorite subjects in school<br />
prior to her senior year were human<br />
anatomy and physiology & health.<br />
Presently she is taking a pre-calculus<br />
algebra class at <strong>Sheridan</strong><br />
College, which she enjoys the most.<br />
She has taken three years of<br />
Spanish, and although she reads it<br />
better than she writes it, she enjoys<br />
conversing with her uncle, who is<br />
fluent in the language, any chance<br />
she gets.<br />
Other classes this year include<br />
AP British literature, AP psychology,<br />
intro to pharmacy, and health<br />
occupations/Certified Nursing<br />
Assistant, which is a concurrent<br />
enrollment class at <strong>Sheridan</strong><br />
College.<br />

Culture has gone to the birds.<br />
Meet Harvey Birdman, cartoon<br />
star and video game newcomer.<br />
Once video games and cartoons<br />
were the exclusive domain of anyone<br />
too young to drink, or at least<br />
not mature enough to pursue more<br />
worthwhile adult activities.<br />
At least that was the stereotype.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se days, with “<strong>The</strong> Simpsons”<br />
closing in on its <strong>20</strong>th season and<br />
video games such as “Madden<br />
NFL” and “Halo” making the<br />
gaming console a fixture in the<br />
American family room, everyone<br />
seems to find time to kid around.<br />
So, it’s no wonder that these<br />
twin paragons of low culture find<br />
themselves teaming up time and<br />
time again to generate new entertainment<br />
properties.<br />

She will get her<br />
CNA certificate at the<br />
end of the semester.<br />
Mike Clift,<br />
instructor of AP British<br />
literature, states: “She<br />
came in very eager and<br />
willing to dive right into<br />
one of the more difficult<br />
classes and wasn’t the<br />
least bit afraid of it.<br />
“Typically there’s<br />
a substantial reading project<br />
over the summer prior<br />
to AP British literature.<br />
She is such a dedicated<br />
student that she<br />
completed the reading in<br />
a very short time.”<br />
Sessions appreciates Mr. Clift,<br />
saying, “I like the way he teaches<br />
and motivates me.”<br />
Sessions has been in National<br />
Honor Society the last three years<br />
and was in student council her freshman<br />
year.<br />
She states that she really enjoys<br />
the volunteer activities provided in<br />
these organizations, especially reading<br />
nights at the elementary schools.<br />
She serves as a peer counselor,<br />
which is an assistant to the guidance<br />
counselors. She is president of<br />
Laurels, a youth group in her LDS<br />
church, which teaches young women<br />
about lifetime activities.<br />
This group also tended a community<br />
garden weekly throughout the<br />
summers and helped at the local<br />
soup kitchen.<br />
Sessions was a soccer player in<br />
Gillette and plans on playing for<br />
<strong>Sheridan</strong> this spring. She has lettered<br />
in soccer all three years, as<br />
well as volleyball her freshman year.<br />
Hard work is no stranger to this<br />
senior. Sessions has held a job since<br />
she was about 15 years old, working<br />
approximately 15-<strong>20</strong> hours/week.<br />
She states, “It makes me feel a<br />
little bit more independent to work<br />
and be able to make my own money.”<br />
Sessions will attend the<br />
University of Wyoming this fall and<br />
apply for the pharmacy program.<br />
She would like to work in the program<br />
as a pharmacy tech.<br />
She is the daughter of Steve and<br />
Heather Sessions.<br />

more interesting examples of<br />
video games based on cartoons.<br />
Depending on how you look at<br />
it, this is either the future of interactive<br />
cartoon entertainment, or<br />
it’s simply a weird experiment that<br />
will soon fade from memory.<br />
<strong>The</strong> problem comes from the<br />
fact that the game works great as a<br />
cartoon. If you enjoy this “Adult<br />
Swim” regular on the Cartoon<br />
Network, complete with belowthe-belt,<br />
non sequitur and zany<br />
humor, then you can expect to<br />
laugh along with the game.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re’s just something funny<br />
about watching a purple hippo in a<br />
suit and a safari hat trying to ignite<br />
a lighter with no thumbs.<br />
But what this cartoon is doing<br />
inside a game system is hard to<br />
figure. As funny as the performances<br />
and as true to the TV cartoon<br />
the visuals are, there isn’t<br />
much room left over for game<br />
play.<br />

Cows and heifers are under a lot<br />
of pressure in the spring at calving<br />
time — barometric pressure that is.<br />
Holy Name School seventh-grader<br />
Nate Kane won the first-place<br />
award in zoology at the Northeast<br />
Regional Science Fair last<br />
<strong>Wednesday</strong> for tracking the effects of<br />
changing barometric pressure on the<br />
rate of calving on his family’s Angus<br />
ranch northeast of <strong>Sheridan</strong>.<br />
His two years of records for <strong>20</strong>06-<br />
<strong>20</strong>07 indicated that when the barometric<br />
pressure dropped by .05 inches<br />
of mercury or more, the rate of<br />
heifers’ calving increased 25 percent<br />
and the rate of cows’ calving<br />
increased 11 percent during March<br />
and April.<br />
During the calving months for<br />
both years, Kane recorded the barometric<br />
pressure from a barometer in<br />
his home twice daily, 6 a.m. and 6<br />
p.m., and then accompanied his<br />
father, David Kane, to check on how<br />
many heifers and cows had calved.<br />
Nate said his father told him several<br />
years ago that he thought he’d<br />
observed this increase, so Nate set out<br />
to scientifically verify whether it was<br />
accurate.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> results were what he (David<br />
Kane) expected,” Nate said.<br />

Judges had the option of not<br />
awarding a first-, second-, or<br />
third-place if they felt no project<br />
met the criteria for that award.<br />

Presidents Day<br />
We celebrate Presidents Day this year<br />
on Feb. 18. George Washington was born<br />
on Feb. 22, 1732, in Virginia.<br />
George had several brothers and<br />
sisters. George was very close to his older<br />
half-brother, Lawrence, who helped him<br />
with his studies and taught him how to<br />
get along socially.<br />
George did well in math. He learned to<br />
survey, or measure land, at a young age.<br />
His father died when George was 11<br />
years old, so he helped his mother run the<br />
farm where they lived. He learned a lot<br />
about keeping books, planting and horses.<br />

George’s rules<br />
Have you ever copied words, either to<br />
improve your handwriting or to<br />
memorize the material?<br />
George went to school only until he<br />
was about 14 or 15 years old. He was<br />
probably asked by his mother or a<br />
teacher to copy some “rules of behavior.”<br />
<strong>The</strong>se rules were originally written by<br />
Jesuits, or members of a group of Roman<br />
Catholics, in the late 1500s. Over the<br />
years many people gave George credit for<br />
the rules, but he was not the author.<br />
for the body. A sample of<br />
Presidents Day honors all American<br />
presidents. It is also near Abraham Lincoln’s<br />
birthday (Feb. 12).<br />
Meet Maiara Walsh<br />
Maiara (my-AH-ra) Walsh stars as<br />
Meena Paroom in the Disney Channel<br />
series “Cory in the House.” She has acted in<br />
several movies and TV shows, including the<br />
Nickelodeon series “Unfabulous.”<br />
Maiara, <strong>20</strong>, is Brazilian and American.<br />
She speaks Spanish, Portuguese and<br />
English. She and her family go to Brazil<br />
every year to visit family. <strong>The</strong> rest of the<br />
year, she lives with her family in the San Fernando Valley in<br />
California. She has one older sister.<br />
She began taking acting classes when she was 11 years old.<br />
She enjoys hiking, singing, dancing, surfing, reading and<br />
cooking. She is very concerned about the environment, and<br />
works to increase recycling.<br />

In honor of Presidents Day, <strong>The</strong> Mini<br />
Page takes a look at some of the 110<br />
“Rules of Civility & Decent Behavior in<br />
Company and Conversation.”<br />
Some of the rules sound funny to us;<br />
the style of writing was different in<br />
George’s time. But most of them relate to<br />
basic good manners and respect for others.<br />

What’s civility?<br />
Civility is courtesy, or politeness. We<br />
have added a short explanation for each<br />
rule. Try to figure out what the rules<br />
mean before reading the explanation.<br />
1. Every action done in company<br />
ought to be with some sign of respect<br />
to those that are present.<br />
Treat other people with respect.<br />
4. In the presence of others, sing not<br />
to yourself with a<br />
humming noise, nor<br />
drum with your<br />
fingers or feet.<br />
Don’t make<br />
annoying noises<br />
when others are<br />
trying to talk and<br />
listen.<br />
15. Keep your nails clean and<br />
short, also your hands and teeth<br />
clean, yet without showing any great<br />
concern for<br />
them.<br />
Practice good<br />
hygiene, but don’t<br />
make a big deal<br />
out of it.<br />
Because George’s father died when<br />
George was so young, he was not able to<br />
go to college. As an adult, he collected a<br />
large number of books, and he became a<br />
good writer. In this way, he made up for<br />
not having a college education.<br />
His writings have given us a<br />
thorough look at this former president.<br />
George as an adult<br />
As a man, George Washington did<br />
many things that affected our country.<br />
He was a member<br />
of the First<br />
Continental<br />
Congress in 1774,<br />
where leaders of<br />
the Colonies met to<br />
discuss unfair<br />
treatment by the<br />
British. At the<br />
Second Continental Congress,<br />
Washington was elected the commander<br />
in chief for the Colonies.<br />
In this position, Washington led<br />
thousands of soldiers in the<br />
Revolutionary War against the British.<br />
His troops and the colonists admired his<br />
courage and knowledge about warfare.<br />
More Rules From George<br />
22. Show not yourself glad at the<br />
misfortune of another though he were<br />
your enemy.<br />
Don’t be happy when something bad<br />
happens to someone else, even if you<br />
don’t like him or her.<br />
44. When a man does all he can,<br />
though it succeeds not well, blame not<br />
him that did it.<br />
If someone tries hard and fails, don’t<br />
criticize him for failing.<br />
48. Wherein you reprove another be<br />
unblameable yourself; for example is<br />
more prevalent than precepts.<br />
If you criticize someone about<br />
something, you should not do the same<br />
thing yourself. Actions speak louder<br />
than words.<br />
53. Run not in the<br />
streets, neither go<br />
too slowly nor with<br />
mouth open, go not<br />
shaking your arms,<br />
kick not the earth<br />
with your feet, go not<br />
upon the toes, nor in a dancing fashion.<br />
Walk calmly without jumping around.<br />
54. Play not the<br />
peacock, looking<br />
everywhere about you,<br />
to see if you be well<br />
decked, if your shoes fit<br />
well, if your stockings<br />
sit neatly, and clothes handsomely.<br />
Don’t check yourself out in mirrors all<br />
the time, seeing how you look.<br />

Supersport: Rachel Dawson<br />
Height: 5-10 Hometown: Berlin, N.J.<br />
For Rachel Dawson, it was the perfect ending to a<br />
storybook college field hockey career. <strong>The</strong> dazzling senior<br />
led the University of North Carolina to a perfect 24-0<br />
season, the Division I national championship, and was<br />
voted the top female field hockey player in the nation.<br />
A two-time All-American, Dawson led the Tar Heels in<br />
scoring with 19 goals and was hailed by coach Karen Shelton as the most<br />
valuable player ever to play at UNC.<br />
Dawson, also a member of the U.S. National Team, excels in the<br />
classroom as well. She is a Dean’s List student majoring in business. She<br />
lists her dream job as being a “chief inventor and CEO of a major<br />
technological firm.”<br />
Dawson, who grew up in an athletic family with seven siblings, likes to<br />
read, watch sports and go to the beach.<br />
56. Associate yourself with men of<br />
good quality if you esteem your own<br />
reputation; for ’tis better to be alone<br />
than in bad company.<br />
People may make judgments about<br />
you based on who your friends are.<br />
60. Be not immodest in urging your<br />
friends to discover a secret.<br />
It may be better to keep the secret.<br />
65. Speak not injurious words<br />
neither in jest nor<br />
earnest. Scoff at<br />
none although<br />
they give occasion.<br />
Even if you’re<br />
kidding, don’t<br />
make fun of<br />
people.<br />
71. Gaze not on the marks or<br />
blemishes of others, and ask not how<br />
they came. What you may speak in<br />
secret to your friend deliver not before<br />
others.<br />
Don’t stare at or ask about marks on<br />
other people, such as warts or freckles.<br />
And don’t tell your friend’s secrets to<br />
others.<br />
73. Think before you<br />
speak. Pronounce not<br />
imperfectly nor bring<br />
out your words too<br />
hastily, but orderly and<br />
distinctly.<br />
Think about what you want to say<br />
before you start talking. Say the words<br />
correctly and not too fast.<br />

George Washington’s plantation, Mount<br />
Vernon.<br />
A gentleman farmer<br />
When he was not involved in his<br />
military career, George was a farmer.<br />
He and his wife, Martha, worked at<br />
their plantation, Mount Vernon, to<br />
make it more productive. He switched<br />
his crops from tobacco to wheat and<br />
started milling the wheat for flour.<br />
His country calls him<br />
After the Revolutionary War ended,<br />
George Washington left his military job.<br />
He had decided to never again serve in<br />
public life. But the new country’s problems<br />
interested him, and he worried that the<br />
Articles of Confederation were not<br />
working well.<br />

called conscience.<br />
Keep in your heart your own<br />
sense of what’s right and wrong.<br />

Constitutional Convention<br />
In 1787 he went to Philadelphia for<br />
the Constitutional Convention. This<br />
meeting was called to make changes to<br />
the Articles of Confederation. <strong>The</strong><br />
meeting took four months. George was<br />
in favor of a constitution.<br />
When the U.S. Constitution was<br />
finally approved, George wanted to<br />
again return to Mount Vernon and lead<br />
a quiet life. But in 1789, the U.S.<br />
Constitution had been approved by nine<br />
of the 13 states, and George Washington<br />
was elected president of the United<br />
States.<br />

Sports Editor<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Sheridan</strong> College men’s basketball<br />
team got off to a slow start when it hosted<br />
Northwest College at the Bruce Hoffman<br />
Golden Dome on Tuesday. <strong>The</strong> Generals<br />
trailed by 14 points early, but came back to<br />
defeat the Trappers in overtime 88-77.<br />
“Northwest is a good team and they’re<br />
well-coached,” said SC coach Joel Davidson.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y’re not going to lay down for anybody.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y came in and took it to us early and we<br />
didn’t match their intensity. But our kids kept<br />
their composure and battled back. <strong>The</strong>y could<br />
have laid down out of the gate, but they<br />
didn’t. So hat’s off to them for that.”<br />
Michael Lebsack gave Northwest the early<br />
lead with a three-point basket. Dennis<br />
Williamson put SC on the board by making<br />
one of two from the line, but Jason Burke-<br />
Kavros knocked down a trey to push the<br />
Trappers’ lead to 6-1.<br />
Williamson scored from the inside, but<br />
Northwest scored 11 straight points to<br />
increase its lead to 17-3 with 14:01 left in the<br />
first half.<br />
Joshua Peery hit a three-pointer to end the<br />
Trapper run. Cedric Koffi then made two free<br />
throws, Tom Parks added a trey, and<br />
Moustapha Diarra scored in the paint to cut<br />
the Northwest lead to 17-13 with 12:17<br />
before halftime.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Trappers came back with seven<br />
straight points to take a 24-13 lead. But<br />
Antoine Watson made three straight baskets,<br />
and Parks nailed another trey to bring the<br />
Generals within 24-22 midway through the<br />
first half.<br />
Sloan Baker’s jumper and a free throw by<br />
Breanson Lawson increased Northwest’s lead<br />

to 27-22. But Williamson’s hook shot and Koffi’s<br />
jumper cut the deficit to 27-26 with 7:41 before halftime.<br />
Neither team scored for the next two minutes. Diarra<br />
finally put the Generals in front with a layup, and Parks<br />
split at the line to give SC a 29-27 lead with 5:06 left in<br />
the half.<br />
Julian Olubuyi’s layup tied the score, and Lebsack<br />
hit a jumper to again put the Trappers into the lead at<br />
31-29.<br />
Diarra tied the score, but Baker made two free<br />
throws to again give Northwest a two-point lead. Peery<br />
scored in the lane to tie the score at 33-33 at the intermission.<br />
Williamson put SC into the lead at the beginning of<br />
the second half. After Burke-Kavros tied the score, the<br />
Generals got a layup and a three-pointer from Kenny<br />
Daniels, then got a free throw from Mari Konate to<br />
claim a 41-35 lead.<br />

Lady Generals finish home season undefeated<br />
By Ken Hamrick<br />

<strong>Sheridan</strong> College finished its <strong>20</strong>07-<strong>08</strong> women’s<br />
basketball home season with an undefeated record as<br />
the Lady Generals defeated Northwest College 82-<br />
48 at the Bruce Hoffman Golden Dome on Tuesday.<br />
SC went 12-0 at home this season.<br />
“It’s the first time in a long time that we went<br />
undefeated at home,” said SC coach Frank<br />
McCarthy. “I can’t tell you how proud I am of the<br />
girls. <strong>The</strong>y play well together, and stuck with it all<br />
year. It’s been a tremendous year.”<br />
SC got off to a fast start with Tahnee Robinson, Randa<br />
Clabaugh and Mckenzie Gentry all scoring to give the<br />
Lady Generals a 6-0 lead. Gita Grava put the Lady<br />
Trappers on the board with a layup, but <strong>Sheridan</strong> responded<br />
with a pair of free throws from Robinson and a Lyndie<br />
NeVille layup for a 10-2 lead with 14:21 left in the first<br />
half.<br />
Erin Cooke scored twice to keep the Lady Trappers<br />
within 12-6. But NeVille connected on a three-point basket,<br />

All-American game<br />
From staff reports<br />
<strong>Sheridan</strong> High School senior<br />

Game, which takes place March<br />
26 in Milwaukee.<br />
Stender was nominated by<br />
the McDonald’s All-American<br />

experts, including nationally<br />
Erika<br />
Stender<br />
known coaches and top high school journalists, earlier<br />
this month. <strong>The</strong> final roster of 24 players will be<br />
announced at the end of February.<br />
“Erika is an outstanding basketball player, but<br />
more importantly, she is an outstanding person,”<br />
said SHS coach Mark Elliott. “She is an extremely<br />
talented individual in many areas of her life, and it<br />
has been a pleasure getting to know her and her family<br />
over the last four years. I am sure she will have<br />
continued success wherever she goes and whatever<br />
she does. I congratulate her on all of her accomplishments.”<br />
Stender has been on the Lady Broncs varsity<br />
team the last three years. <strong>Sheridan</strong> won the Class 4A<br />

lead, but Burke-Kavros again hit from behind<br />

lead. Matt Kellogg then drove the lane for a<br />

free throws. Burke-Kavros’ layup pulled the<br />
Trappers within 66-61 with 3:44 remaining.<br />

score at 70-70.<br />

Generals the lead with 34 seconds left, but<br />

the ball upcourt, but Lacey stepped out of<br />
bounds with nine seconds remaining.<br />
Williamson’s last-chance shot was<br />
missed sending the game into overtime.<br />
“We had a chance to put it away,”<br />
Davidson said. “We missed free throws and<br />
made some turnovers and Northwest battled<br />
back. That just shows their character.”<br />
Olubuyi scored the first points of the overtime, but<br />
Williamson’s layup tied the score at 72-72.<br />
Parks gave SC the lead with a three-pointer. Olubuyi<br />
split from the line. but the Generals got a layup from<br />
Williamson and another trey from Parks to increase the<br />
lead to 80-73.<br />
SC made six of seven free throws in the final 2:13 to<br />
put the game on ice.<br />
“We came out and got the ball inside to Dennis right<br />
off the bat,” Davidson said. “That set the tone for the<br />
final five minutes.”<br />
Parks was SC’s top scorer with <strong>20</strong> points. Daniels<br />
and Watson both scored 14 and Williamson had 13.<br />
Burke-Kavros led all scorers with 22 points.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Generals outrebounded the Trappers 39-32 with<br />
Watson leading with eight, followed by Parks and<br />

DEAR DR. GOTT: My situation<br />
is a bit complex, but I will<br />
try to make it as brief as possible.<br />
In 1997, I was short of breath,<br />
and I had stress tests and a heart<br />
catheter, which indicated an 80<br />
percent blockage in one artery<br />
and 50 percent in the other two.<br />
In the artery blocked 80 percent,<br />
I had angioplasty and a stent put<br />
in. Relief was immediate.<br />
I felt fine until recently. I have arthritis and attributed<br />
the pain in my left shoulder and upper arm to that. It<br />
started approximately two or three months ago. About<br />
three weeks ago, I experienced extreme shortness of<br />
breath, weakness and fatigue. At the hospital, I was<br />
diagnosed with blood clots in both my lungs associated<br />
with a low INR. I was in the hospital for six days on a<br />
course of Coumadin and shots of Lovinox. I was discharged<br />
when my INR reached 2.1. I take 10 milligrams<br />
Coumadin daily and felt fine for about a week.<br />
<strong>The</strong>n back to the emergency room with shortness of<br />
breath. Tests showed no clots, but my INR had fallen to<br />
1.7. I then consulted with my heart doctor, and he<br />
ordered another stress test. Again, everything was fine.<br />
This leaves me in a dilemma. Chest X-rays and CT<br />
scans show nothing relative to the lungs, and the stress<br />
test shows nothing relative to the heart. However, I still<br />
continue to be extremely short of breath, fatigued and<br />
weak. As far as I know, I was never diagnosed with<br />
asthma or emphysema. I used to be a heavy smoker<br />
DEAR ABBY: My husband's<br />
sister, "Mia," is a lesbian who came<br />
out to her family 10 years ago. Her<br />
parents disowned her. We were just<br />
out of high school, and for years we<br />
had no idea why. We were not<br />
allowed to invite Mia to our wedding<br />
or to have any contact with<br />
her.<br />
Several years later, she began<br />
trying to repair their relationship,<br />
despite the fact that she's forbidden<br />
to talk about her life or bring her<br />
partner anywhere near them. This<br />
was when we learned what had happened,<br />
and we were appalled at how<br />
Mia had been treated.<br />
When she comes to town for<br />
holidays, she stays with us. Because<br />
of this, my in-laws treat us like "sinners"<br />
just as they do her, and we're<br />
caught in the middle.<br />
We have tried explaining to<br />
these family members that they are<br />
entitled to their position and we're<br />
entitled to ours; that Mia is family<br />
and deserves respect and kindness.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y call us liberal freaks with no<br />
moral values and say we should<br />
stand up to her and not let her<br />
"manipulate" us. My husband and I<br />
are tired of the drama we get at holiday<br />
time. Not only do they usually<br />
pick a fight with Mia while she's<br />
here, but they also won't speak to us<br />
for two weeks afterward. <strong>The</strong> last<br />
two times she came, Mia has either<br />
had to cut her trip short or has been<br />
B5<br />
February <strong>20</strong>, <strong>20</strong><strong>08</strong><br />
(two packs per day), but I stopped more than 12 years<br />
ago.<br />
Please give me your expert thoughts on this. Should<br />
I opt for a second opinion at a place like the Mayo or<br />
Cleveland Clinics?<br />
DEAR READER: Yours is a complicated ailment.<br />
For example, why did you develop blood clots in your<br />
lungs? Could this be a symptom related to a primary<br />
lung disorder or a clotting disorder?<br />
Based on the information you gave, I am fairly confident<br />
you have a clotting disorder. Your INR<br />
(International Normalized Ratio; higher numbers mean<br />
less clotting ability, lower numbers mean more clotting<br />
ability) is abnormal despite treatment with an anticoagulant.<br />
Make an appointment with a blood-disorder specialist<br />
(hematologist). Bring your lab work and test<br />
results with you to the appointment. This will provide<br />
background information and aid the specialist in his or<br />
her diagnosis. <strong>The</strong> doctor may choose to order more<br />
specific tests. If this specialist doesn’t find anything<br />
abnormal, a visit to a top-notch medical facility is<br />
appropriate.<br />
You need to know why you developed blood clots<br />
and why your INR is consistently low. In other words,<br />
your doctors may be treating your symptoms instead of<br />
searching for the cause. Let me know how this turns<br />
out.<br />
To give you related information, I am sending you a<br />
copy of my Health Report “Blood — Donations and<br />
Disorders.” Other readers who would like a copy<br />
should send a self-addressed, stamped No. 10 envelope<br />
and $2 to Newsletter, PO Box 167, Wickliffe, OH<br />
44092. Be sure to mention the title.<br />
Doctor Gott is a retired physician and the author of<br />
the book “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet,” available<br />
at most chain and independent bookstores, and the<br />
recently published “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar<br />
Cookbook.”<br />
Dear Abby Pauline Phillips and Jeanne Phillips<br />
reduced to tears by the harsh words<br />
from family members.<br />
If you wonder why Mia even<br />
bothers coming home, it's because<br />
she wants to maintain contact with<br />
us and she loves her nieces and<br />
nephews. How do we handle these<br />
people, or do we just give up? --<br />
ODD ONES OUT IN OHIO<br />
DEAR ODD ONES OUT: Stand<br />
your ground. Do not allow yourselves<br />
to be bullied or emotionally<br />
blackmailed into rejecting your husband's<br />
sister. You are neither morally<br />
challenged nor "liberal freaks"<br />
for trying to help bridge the gap<br />
with the family.<br />
Frankly, your sister-in-law must<br />
be extremely resilient to have tolerated<br />
the abuse she's getting from<br />
these "good" people. <strong>The</strong>y may not<br />
approve of her sexual orientation,<br />
but she did not choose it -- it's who<br />
she is. It seems this self-righteous<br />
family's "moral values" do not<br />
include tolerance.<br />
DEAR ABBY: I share a room<br />
with my stepsisters during visitation<br />
at my dad's. <strong>The</strong>ir room doesn't<br />
have a lock, and my stepmom,<br />
"Muriel," doesn't believe in knocking<br />
before coming into their room.<br />
My stepsisters are used to it and<br />
don't care. However, Muriel is not<br />
my mom, and it's embarrassing to<br />
be barged in on without warning,<br />
especially when I'm undressed.<br />
Last weekend she walked in<br />
after I had just taken a shower and<br />
was completely naked. Muriel<br />
couldn't understand why I'd have a<br />
problem with it, since we're both<br />
females and I was already naked in<br />
front of my stepsisters.<br />
I have asked her nicely to please<br />
knock when I'm there, but she says,<br />
"A mother doesn't have to knock<br />
when coming into her own daughters'<br />
(or stepdaughter's) room."<br />
Muriel said I have a "silly hang-up"<br />
and need to get over it. "I wouldn't<br />
be doing you any favors," she said,<br />
"if I gave in."<br />
Is my request unreasonable?<br />
How should I handle this? --<br />
FEELS LIKE CINDERELLA<br />
DEAR FEELS LIKE CIN-<br />
DERELLA: It doesn't appear that<br />
you and Muriel are particularly<br />
close, or even on the same wavelength.<br />
She's being heavy-handed in<br />
the way she is asserting herself, and<br />
you should talk to your father and<br />
mother about it.<br />
Your stepmother is the adult,<br />
and she has allowed this to be<br />
turned into a power struggle. She's<br />
not your mother, and as you are a<br />
guest in their home, some common<br />
courtesy should be extended.<br />

LARAMIE (AP) —<br />
Billy White scored 19<br />
points, including 17 in<br />
the second half, and<br />
grabbed 12 rebounds to<br />
lead San Diego State to<br />
a 79-68 victory against<br />
Wyoming on Tuesday<br />
night.<br />
Lorrenzo Wade<br />
scored 14 points,<br />
Richie Williams finished<br />
with 13 and Ryan<br />
Amoroso added 12<br />
points for the Aztecs<br />
(17-9, 7-5 Mountain<br />
West).<br />
<strong>The</strong> Cowboys (10-<br />
15, 3-9) led 35-32 at<br />
the break, but White’s<br />
put-back with 18:21<br />
remaining gave the<br />
Aztecs their first lead<br />
of the game. He and<br />
Wade combined for 22<br />

<strong>Sheridan</strong> College (23-2, 6-2 National Junior College<br />
Athletic Association North Subregion IX, 6-2<br />
Wyoming Community College Athletic Conference)<br />
will play two road games this weekend to finish the regular<br />
season. On Friday, the Generals play Western<br />
Wyoming Community College in Rock Springs, and on<br />
Saturday, they play at Casper College. Tipoff for both<br />
games is 8 p.m.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Generals are assured at least a tie for first in the<br />
subregion and can still win the conference championship.<br />
“We want to win these two road games, and that<br />
would win us the conference,” Davidson said. “That’s<br />
just bragging rights, but if they’re going to hand out a<br />
trophy, we might as well get it.”<br />
Notes: <strong>Sheridan</strong> College went 12-1 at the Bruce<br />
Hoffman Golden Dome this season. <strong>The</strong> Generals’ only<br />
home loss was a 73-64 defeat by Northeastern (Colo.)<br />

55-47 with 9:22 to play.<br />
‘‘Close to the basket I’m very<br />
comfortable,’’ White said.<br />
‘‘Coach told me to get the ball and<br />
try to attack the basket hard, so<br />
that’s what I was thinking.’’<br />
Wyoming’s Tyson Johnson<br />
converted a three-point play with<br />
8:55 remaining to spark a 7-3 run<br />
that cut the lead to four points, but<br />
that was as close as the Cowboys<br />
would get. Williams hit back-toback<br />
layups to extend the advantage<br />
to 68-59 with 3:36 remaining.<br />

Johnson is a three-year starting quarterback for the<br />
Eagles and led Tongue River to the state playoffs all<br />
three years. In his junior season, he led TRHS to a 10-1<br />
record and a runner-up finish in the Class 3A State<br />
Championship Game.<br />

NeVille led SC in scoring with 29 points, followed<br />
by Mack with 17 and Robinson with 13.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Lady Generals had a 38-26 rebounding edge<br />
with Robinson leading with 11, followed by Mack with<br />
10.<br />
NeVille and Robinson both had six assists, and<br />
Robinson and Clabaugh led in steals, both with four.<br />
<strong>Sheridan</strong> College (25-3, 6-0 Wyoming Community<br />
College Athletic Conference) can wrap up the conference<br />
title this week as it plays two games on the road.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Lady Generals play Western Wyoming Community<br />
College on Friday in Rock Springs, and Casper College<br />
on Saturday in Casper. Both games will begin at 6 p.m.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Lady Generals could still host the National<br />
Junior College Athletic Association Region IX<br />
Tournament. However, Miles (Mont.) Community<br />
College would have to lose its game against Dawson<br />
White was fouled on a<br />
dunk and converted the<br />
three-point play a minute<br />
and a half later to help<br />
seal the win.<br />
‘‘Our biggest<br />
concern was to keep the<br />
ball out of the post, and I<br />
think Wyoming did a<br />
good job of that in the<br />
first half and we did a bad<br />
job,’’ said San Diego<br />
State coach Steve Fisher.<br />
‘‘We did much better at<br />
not allowing the ball to<br />
get into the post in the<br />
second half.<br />
‘‘It is hard for<br />
any team to come here<br />
and win, but we were able<br />
to do it tonight for a big<br />
team win.’’<br />
Johnson led<br />
Wyoming with a careerhigh<br />
18 points. Ryan<br />
Dermody added 14 points<br />
and Brandon Ewing scored 12.<br />

North, when responding in<br />
the suit directly under his<br />
partner's, would normally<br />
have at least five diamonds.<br />
Also, because he<br />
bid at the two-level, he<br />
should have 11-plus<br />
points. South indicated<br />
diamond support. North<br />
jumped to four hearts,<br />
showing three trumps and<br />
game-going values.<br />
<strong>The</strong> opponents have<br />
eight or nine diamonds.<br />
This means that East has<br />
at most one. It must be<br />
best to try to give him a<br />
diamond ruff or two.<br />
Which diamond would<br />
you select, though?<br />
When you lead from a<br />
weak suit like West's diamonds,<br />
you normally start<br />
Hanna-Elk Mountain, Matthew Sebade of Lander<br />
Valley, and Alex Stratton of Cheyenne East.<br />
Finalists from the University of Wyoming are Sean<br />

with top-of-nothing. But<br />
when you make a lead that<br />
you expect partner to ruff<br />
(on this round or, if your<br />
side has trump control, on<br />
the next), you should lead<br />
a suit-preference card.<br />
Here, you should lead the<br />
diamond two.<br />
<strong>The</strong> defense should go:<br />
diamond ruff, club to your<br />
queen, diamond ruff, club<br />
to your ace, diamond ruff<br />
for down two.<br />
Note that if East shifts<br />
to a spade at trick two, the<br />
contract cruises home.<br />
East should have doubled<br />
four hearts, asking for<br />
a diamond lead. He knew<br />
that if North ran to five<br />
diamonds, West would<br />
ruff an initial heart lead.<br />
Broncos<br />
founder<br />
Howsam<br />
dies at 89<br />
DENVER (AP) — Bob<br />
Howsam, who assembled the<br />
Big Red Machine in Cincinnati,<br />
helped put the St. Louis<br />
Cardinals to a World Series and<br />
co-founded the Denver Broncos,<br />
died Tuesday in Sun City, Ariz.<br />
He was 89.<br />
Howsam had heart problems,<br />
said his son, Robert Howsam of<br />
Colorado Springs.<br />
Howsam started his sports<br />
career in 1947 as owner of the<br />
Denver Bears of the Single-A<br />
Western League, later taking the<br />
team to Triple-A as a New York<br />
Yankees affiliate, his son said.<br />
Howsam helped found the<br />
American Football League in<br />
1959 and was principal owner of<br />
the Broncos, selling the team in<br />
1961.<br />
He became general manager<br />
of the Cardinals in 1964, the<br />
year they beat the New York<br />
Yankees in the World Series.<br />
In 1967 he became general<br />
manager of the Reds and is credited<br />
with building the Big Red<br />
Machine that won two World<br />
Series titles, four NL pennants<br />
and six division titles in the<br />
1970s.<br />
Howsam later was a member<br />
of the Colorado Baseball<br />
Commission, which helped<br />
bring the Rockies and major<br />
league baseball to Denver.<br />
Robert Howsam said his<br />
father lived in a retirement home<br />
in Sun City with his wife, Janet<br />
Howsam. He would have turned<br />
90 later this month.
