Committee
advances school
safety bill
CHEYENNE (AP) — A
state Senate committee has
voted to restore funding to a
bill that would create a new
statewide school safety tip
line.
The Wyoming Tribune
Eagle reports that the
Senate Education
Committee voted 5-0 Monday
to advance House Bill 144
and send it to the Senate
floor.
The panel approved an
amendment that would add
$145,000 for two full-time
positions that the House
removed when it passed the
bill earlier this session.
The legislation would set
up a Safe2Tell tip line, a program first implemented by
Colorado after the 1999
Columbine High School
shootings. It would allow
students to anonymously
report potentially dangerous, violent or criminal
activities.
Safe2Tell would replace
Wyoming’s WeTip hotline,
which lawmakers and state
officials said is ineffective
because it requires little outreach and follow-up efforts.
Safe2Tell would use a 24/7
call center and be administered by a school safety unit
in the Wyoming Division of
Criminal Investigation,
which is part of the attorney general’s office.
The House legislation
includes $225,000 for equipment and support services
and would fund $265,000 for
three full-time positions,
instead of $410,000 for five
positions that the bill originally proposed. The change
was to make it virtually
“revenue neutral,” with the
state eliminating a similar
school safety and security
unit under the Department
of Education.
The Senate Education
Committee agreed to
Attorney General Peter
Michael’s request to have
the two extra positions
restored.
Wyoming Department of
Homeland Security Director
Guy Cameron said the
WeTip hotline has only been
used 200 times in its sevenyear history. Cameron said
the Safe2Tell tip line would
be much more focused on
outreach and make sure that
students know it is available.
Funding will be reviewed
next by the Senate
Appropriations Committee.
It will then need to pass
three readings on the Senate
floor. If that happens, the
House and Senate will need
to reconcile their two versions of the bill.

SHERIDAN — Miranda
Mraz’s felony forgery trial got
underway Monday in 4th
Judicial District Court.
The jury is comprised of
eight women and five men.
Mraz was arrested in June on
charges of felony forgery and
theft stemming from accusations that she allegedly altered
customer credit card receipts
at the Firewater Grill on Main
Street between November 2013
and January 2014 to give herself larger tips. Her arrest
came only a few days before
the Wyoming Supreme Court
acquitted her on previous theft
charges.
Prosecuting attorney
Christopher LaRosa told the
jury in his opening statement
that the trial was about a
woman who stole money from
restaurant customers until she
was caught.
“This is about a server who
wanted more money, so she
paid herself more using other
people’s money,” LaRosa said.
He advised them to follow the
money when looking into the
evidence.
“These are her customers,
these are her transactions,
these are her tips in her pocket
at the end of her day to her
benefit,” he said.
Defense attorney John
Robinson told the jury there
was more to the story than the
prosecution was telling them.
He said there were red flags in
the form of managers’ discounts on many cash transactions and suggested that perhaps something more was
going on than altered receipts
that Mraz had nothing to do
with.
“The prosecution is telling
you to follow the money,”
Robinson said. “But they don’t
want you to follow all of it.”

3 Wyoming airports facing steep federal cuts
CASPER (AP) — A nationwide
pilot shortage is affecting Great
Lakes Aviation’s ability to serve several Wyoming airports, reducing
flights, passengers and possibly federal money for capital projects.
The Casper Star-Tribune reported
Monday that Sheridan is one of
three Wyoming airports that boarded fewer than 10,000 passengers last
year. That may trigger a cut from $1
million to $150,000 in federal funding
for capital projects unless Congress
intervenes.
The newspaper reports funds for
Riverton and Cheyenne regional airports are also on the chopping block.
Wyoming lawmakers are considering coming to the rescue for some
projects.
Sen. Mike Enzi introduced a bill
Scan with your

latest weather,
news and sports
last month seeking to use 2012 passenger boarding numbers to calculate federal money through 2017. A
similar bill is being considered in
the House.
The 2012 numbers come before federal changes that airlines and industry experts say caused the pilot
shortage and passenger downturn.
Following a 2009 plane crash in
Buffalo, New York, that killed 50 people, Congress increased the required
training hours to fly from 250 hours
to 1,500 hours. The rules took effect
in August 2013.
With fewer pilots available, smaller
regional airlines are cutting back
service to low-traffic airports like
those in Wyoming.

Wyoming Department of
Education seeks sponsors for
summer food service program
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2015
SCSD2 offers online registration for 2015-16 school year
FROM STAFF REPORTS
SHERIDAN — Officials at the Wyoming Department
of Education are seeking sponsors to participate in the
Summer Food Service Program for the summer of
2015.
Just as learning does not end when school lets out,
the need for good nutrition remains. Children learn
better, behave better and feel better when they aren’t
hungry.
The SFSP helps all children to the age of 18 receive
the nutrition they need to learn, play and grow during
summer months, when they don’t have access to other
school meal programs.
The SFSP is administered at the federal level by the
U.S. Department of Agriculture, while the Wyoming
Department of Education manages it at the state level.
Many Wyoming communities have successfully participated in the program, but there remains a need for
serving sites. The WDE would like to see more communities involved in the effort to help children receive
good nutrition during the summer months.
The SFSP can be a part of a YMCA, Parks and
Recreation, library, church or other private, nonprofit
program.
Summer sites must meet specific criteria regarding
the income eligibility of either children living in the
area or children enrolled in the program at the chosen
site. Information for possible sites in Sheridan can be
obtained through the WDE.
Parties interested in setting up a Summer Food
Service Program feeding site, or seeking more details,
contact Amanda Anderson, Nutrition Programs
Consultant, at 307-777-7168.
Even though summer seems far away, the need for
planning is now.

FROM STAFF REPORTS
SHERIDAN — While the use of
technology in the classroom continues to expand, parents will also
begin experiencing the benefits of
living in a digital world. Sheridan
County School District 2 will offer
online student registration for the
coming school year.
Previously, high school course
selection and some minor forms like
demographic changes have already
been offered online. Registering a
child for school, though, required
taking a trip to the school to complete paperwork. For parents with
multiple children, this could mean
multiple school visits and repeated
forms.
Now, the entire process has been
moved online with updates made
available on Infinite Campus, the district’s online learning management
system.
As a test of the new system,
kindergarten registration held earlier this month utilized the online documents but the district had the parents do it from their child’s new
school. This was done, in part, to
work out some of the potential bugs
and receive feedback from the parents.
SCSD2 Director of Elementary
Education Scott Stults said the
process went smoothly and will be
rolled out for all levels of students
for the next open registration period.
However, future parents of incoming
kindergarteners will still have to do
their registration at the school.
“I was adamant that the parents
actually come to the building, meeting the staff, get a tour and do that
process on-site,” Stults said.
“Especially with brand new parents,
this could be the first time they’ve
been in the school system.”
Kindergarten registration is also
unique in the district due to the fact
that there are specific times for
kindergarten registration, whereas
registration for upper grades will
remain open online throughout the
summer. As the district never knows
how many kindergarteners are coming in each year, staffing numbers
are determined annually by the
number of students who are registered during the set window, and if
parents don’t register their child
until later there is a possibility of
the first-come first-serve classes
being full.
Additional online advantages being
added include the digital scanning
and permanent storage of paperfiled student documents such as
birth certificates and immunization
records and the ability for students
at Sheridan Junior High School to
select their courses online.
Individual course registration for
current eighth-graders was due yesterday and course selection will open
online for current grades nine
through 11 next week.

GILLETTE (AP) — A 59-year-old
Montana woman who was walking along a
road in Gillette at night was struck by two
vehicles and killed.
Gillette police identified the victim of
the Feb. 19 collisions as Nancy Elizabeth

road when she was hit by a pickup truck.
A second vehicle swerved to avoid hitting
the woman and the truck. A third vehicle
hit the woman.
Deaton says police do not know why
Morse was walking along the road at 11:10

MRAZ: Trial expected to last through the week
FROM 1
Robinson pointed out that the first
complaint against Mraz came in
November, but Mraz was not spoken to
or reprimanded and the complaint
wasn’t taken to anyone in authority.
He told the jury that it was not until
January, when a customer came to
manager Rob Romero with a complaint of a substantial overcharge that
Mraz’s transactions were looked into.
In fact, Robinson said, Mraz had
received two promotions during the
time of the alleged forgeries.
LaRosa’s first witness, Willard
Smathers, said he had been notified by
police that he might have been
defrauded by Mraz during one of his
visits to the Firewater Grill in
November 2013. Because the meal had
been a business lunch, Smathers was
able to provide police with the cus-
tomer copy of a credit card slip he had
received when he paid for his meal.
When LaRosa asked Smathers to
look over a group of exhibits, defense
attorney Chris Wages objected
because the defense had not seen the
exhibits in the way they were being
presented. Fenn had the jury removed
from the courtroom and spoke with
the attorneys in the case.
Wages told the court that he found
LaRosa’s behavior concerning
exhibits “hinky” and suggested
LaRosa was trying to inconvenience
the defense and make their case harder to represent. He accused LaRosa of
noncompliance to orders given during
pretrial conferences and suggested the
binder of exhibits be kept out of the
trial due to that noncompliance.
LaRosa pointed out nothing in the
exhibit package was new evidence,
that only the way it was being present-
ed was new.
Fenn expressed frustration over the
continued difficulties between the
state and the defense concerning
exhibits over the course of pretrial
hearings and into the trial.
LaRosa agreed that the state would
present a copy of the exhibit package
to the defense in the morning and
allowed the defense to re-examine the
exhibits to be used in Smathers’ examination.
The jury returned to the courtroom,
and LaRosa’s direct examination of
Smathers continued with Smathers
identifying copies of his credit card
statement and copies of his credit
card receipts from the meal in question.
After short cross and redirect examinations, court recessed for the day.
The Mraz trial is scheduled to last
through the week.
AIRLINES: Cuts in federal money puts plans on hold
FROM 1
A nine-passenger Great Lakes flight serves Sheridan
once a day, six days a week. Airport manager John Stopka
said Great Lakes, the only airline serving Sheridan, is losing money on the flights, adding the airport won’t reach
the 10,000-passenger mark this year.
The Sheridan airport could be forced to delay safety projects like replacing lighting and a 20-year-old electric fence
meant to keep out wildlife, according to Christy Yaffa, airport planning and programming manager for the state’s
aeronautics division.
Cheyenne Regional Airport boarded 5,380 passengers in
2014, a 56.4 percent drop from 2013, according to an unoffi-
cial count.
“It is going to hurt immensely,” said Tim Barth, airport
manager, regarding the looming federal cuts.
Cuts in federal money could mean delaying or scaling
back plans to replace an old terminal building next year.
The airport has secured $14 million and needs another $4
million to provide the facility the community deserves,
Barth said.
Other projects that could be affected include replacing
snow removal equipment and fixing pavement.
Sheri Taylor, air service development manager for
Wyoming’s aeronautics division, said her department is
trying to work with other rural states to get Congress talking about the issue.

SPD: Easy way to avoid abandoned vehicle notice
BY KELLI HEITSTUMAN-TOMKO
THE SHERIDAN PRESS
SHERIDAN — If you can’t drive it, don’t leave
it on the street.
That is the rule of thumb to avoid finding a
sticker on your vehicle informing you that you
have three days to move it.
A city ordinance states that any junked vehicle
parked on public property — streets, alleys, easements, or rights of way — are subject to removal
after a three-day warning.
In city ordinance terminology, “junked” means
any vehicle that cannot be driven because it is
either inoperable or because you will be pulled
over for expired tags. The word has no bearing
on any other physical condition of the vehicle.
“If you have a junker that is licensed and drivable, you aren’t going to get a notice,” Sheridan
Police Department Lt. Tom Ringley said.
There is, though, a simple way to avoid the
warning if the vehicle is inoperable.
son, Jack, reported.
While Patton’s heart is healing
well from the insertion of a stent
on Feb. 17, doctors have not offered
a timetable for recovery of his
lungs. Patton is wearing a pressure mask full time and remains
in the intensive care unit.
“He is in good spirits,” Jack
Patton added. “He’d like to [go
back to work], but he’s not going to
get out of the hospital until his
lungs are much improved.”
The 2015 legislative session is
expected to conclude March 6.
“Just pull it into the driveway,” Ringley said.
“The fact (the vehicles) are on the street is the
problem, and officers can see them just driving
down the street.”
And the police are not the only people who will
be happy not to have derelict vehicles on the
street. Ringley said that most “abandoned vehicles” are called in by neighbors.
While there are regulations about keeping
junked, wrecked, dismantled or unlicensed vehicles on private property, that is still the best
place for those vehicles that need a quick fix, a
tire change or a license plate before it’s roadworthy again.
“There’s an entire list of definitions for vehicles that might meet exceptions, but they still
have to be on private property and not on the
street,” Ringley said.
Those wanting to check the code for themselves can find it on the city’s website, sheridanwy.net. A hard copy of the municipal code can be
found at City Hall at 55 Grinnell St.

Obama faces left-right opposition on trade, military force
WASHINGTON (AP) — Reps.
Barbara Lee and John Fleming are
highly dubious at best about
President Barack Obama’s requests
for enhanced powers to make trade
deals and to deploy the U.S. military.
And that’s like oil and water mixing
easily.
Ideological chasms usually separate
Democrat Lee of California — one of
Congress’ proudest liberals — and
Republican Fleming of Louisiana,
among its staunchest conservatives.
But they personify Congress’ odd leftright coalition that’s complicating
Obama’s bid for two of his priorities.
Like many House Democrats and
Republicans, they reached their positions by different paths. Lee says
trade deals hurt American workers.
And she shares many liberals’ aversion to new wars that seem openended.
Fleming, meanwhile, doesn’t want
to cede more power to Obama on any
front, because he’s still fuming over
the president’s executive actions on
health and deportation policies.
“I’m less willing to give him flexibility in authority than I would most
presidents, Democrat or Republican,
because of his abuse of authority,”
Fleming said.
This left-right union requires
Obama to seek a large centrist coalition in a Congress whose political
“middle” hardly exists anymore.
Many issues, including taxes, spending and immigration, typically split
along partisan lines. Trade and warfare do not.
Liberals back Obama on most
issues, but scores of them feel snakebitten by two events of the past 21
years. They contend the 1994 landmark North America Free Trade Act
(or NAFTA) led to millions of U.S.
jobs going overseas. And they say
Republican President George W. Bush
misled the nation and Congress when
he won approval to invade Iraq in
2003.
Congress voted twice to endorse
Bush’s military goals after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Within
days of the deadly attacks, lawmakers
gave Bush wide leeway to pursue alQaida. And in 2002, Congress
approved Bush’s plan to invade Iraq.
That country’s much-discussed
“weapons of mass destruction”
proved not to exist.
Memories of those votes now hamper Obama’s request for “authorized
use of military force” against terrorists from the so-called Islamic State.
His request would leave in place the
2001 war-making authority, which
many liberals insist on ending.
Lee calls it “an overly broad blank
check” that’s used “to keep us in a
state of perpetual war.”
Trade is another issue that cleaves
many liberals from Obama. Like Bill
Clinton, he’s a Democratic president
who supports free trade despite weak
support from Democratic lawmakers.
Republicans, meanwhile, call themselves a pro-trade party. But dozens of
GOP House members threaten to
oppose the White House’s trade push
because of their animosity toward
Obama, not to trade itself.
Obama wants renewal of “fast
track” authority, which has let past
presidents negotiate trade deals that
Congress can ratify or reject, but not
amend. A strange-bedfellows force
opposes him.
The Communications Workers of
America union, which strongly supports Obama on most issues, is working with conservative Republicans to
thwart him on trade.
Obama “has consistently broken his
trust with the American people on
immigration, health care and foreign
policy, yet he is now asking for
expanded power to negotiate trade
deals,” says a letter distributed by the
union and written by Republican Rep.
David McKinley of West Virginia.

The question arose after former New
York City mayor Rudy Giuliani told a private audience that he doesn't think Obama
loves America. He further noted that
Obama wasn't raised like him or members
of the audience (conservative business people and assorted media),
which, though probably
true (Obama grew up in
Hawaii and for a time in
Indonesia), wasn't really
the point.
Translated, Giuliani's
observation was to question whether Obama is
really on the home team,
KATHLEEN
specifically when it comes
PARKER
to defeating the Islamic
State. Whether Giuliani
|
intended to dredge up the
"otherness" of Obama, a
remnant of the 2008 presidential election,
isn't clear (or likely), the effect was to stoke
long-simmering doubts about Obama's
legitimacy.
To certain people, he is still an alien who
doesn't think the way "we" do and is the
son of a Kenyan anti-colonialist. (Aren't we
all anti-colonialists these days?) The fact
that he also happens to be AfricanAmerican has many viewing Giuliani's
comment as dog whistling to racists, which
probably is not true.

of litmus tests, but the newest one —
Do you believe President Obama loves
America? — makes birthers seem witty.
Phillip Ashley
Still, what he said had a certain familiar
ring to it. And racists will embrace
Giuliani's comments as speaking to them
regardless of what was intended. As a
result, Giuliani not only has tarnished his
own legacy as America's mayor but has
created problems for the Republican Party,
which needed no new reasons for black voters to see them as unwelcoming.
Now, in the litmus test du jour,
Republican presidential candidates are
being forced to indicate whether they agree
with Giuliani and also whether they
believe President Obama is a Christian
who loves his country. Good grief.
To be fair, these questions are coming
from the media, not from the RNC, but litmus-voters are paying attention — and so
are Democrats. It is hard to fathom what
exactly certain Republicans want from
Obama. Tears? A public declaration of
love?
Several years back, some insisted that
Obama wasn't a patriot because he didn't
want to wear a flag lapel pin. This was
absurd on its face. Wear a little flag pin and
we're all good? Refuse to wear one and you
might be a Muslim operative?
Giuliani's comments followed closely on
the heels of Obama's much-criticized
speech at the National Prayer Breakfast,
which did fall short of inspiring, one has
to admit. In his attempt to appear humble,
the president tried to give equal time to our
nation's flaws as he commended its accomplishments, saying:
"Lest we get on our high horse and think

this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the
Inquisition, people committed terrible
deeds in the name of Christ."
Well now, there's a comparison unlikely
to curry favor among the brethren. This
weird teaching moment might work in an
op-ed piece or in academia, but when the
enemy invokes these very events, we might
want to avoid lending legitimacy to their
justifications for savagery and genocide.
Uniqueness, meanwhile, is irrelevant.
Using history as a guide lest we repeat it is
one thing; it is quite another to essentially
minimize present horrors because, hey,
we've all been bad. Christians aren't currently burning people alive or beheading
them in an attempt to convert the world to
Christianity.
Obama's failed attempt to show the world
how even-handed he is revealed a surprising lack of logic. But this hardly means
that he doesn't "love" America, whatever
that means.
It isn't really so shocking that Obama's
too-careful wording might cause someone
like Giuliani to react strongly in the
moment. The fact that Republicans aren't
eager to distance themselves from the comments suggests that there are enough on
the right who agree with him that a denunciation might be risky.
The first summoned to the interrogatory
was Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, for whom
the dinner was intended when Giuliani
stole the show. Walker has been asked
repeatedly whether he thinks Obama loves
America, an idiotic question that only a
fool would answer except to say,
"Absolutely!"
Instead, Walker grabbed a shovel and
starting digging a hole right next to
Giuliani's. Though he first replied that he
didn't feel he needed to comment on
Giuliani's comments, he later said he doesn't know if Obama is a Christian.
Well, of course he doesn't "know," but
everyone knows what Obama has said. He's
a Christian. I'm no less inclined to believe
the president when he says he's a Christian
than I am to believe Walker when he says
he's one. If either man is a fake Christian,
he has plenty of company, the fact of
which makes very little difference to most
Americans.
This is all politics, in other words, and
Republican candidates need to get smarter.
Litmus tests will keep coming their way,
and anyone seriously considering running
for president needs to know what he thinks
before he's asked. When the camera is running is no time to share one's deliberations.
It seems that Walker could use better
advisers and advance people — and the
president might want to shake up his
speech-writing department. In the meantime, only Giuliani owns his opinions.
Too bad they're so repugnant.

Disney animators win Oscar 2 years in a row
Suzan-Lori
Parks’ trilogy
wins Kennedy
Prize for Drama

National Geographic writer to discuss underground caves
SHS students win Academic Challenge
NEW YORK (AP) — The Walt
Disney Co. proved Sunday that its
power doesn’t only come from Pixar.
For the second year in a row,
Disney Animation won an Academy
Award for best animated feature, as
“Big Hero 6” followed up last year’s
“Frozen” win. The studio’s “Feast”
also won for best animated short.
Neither film is connected to the company’s Pixar unit, which Disney
bought in 2006 for $7.4 billion in
stock. Since then, the Disney Pixar
combo had scooped up most animated
feature Oscars (Paramount’s “Rango”
won in 2011) with blockbusters
including “Finding Nemo,” ‘’Toy
Story 3” and “Brave.” Pixar didn’t
release a film in 2014.
“Big Hero 6” is Disney’s first animated film to take advantage of the
company’s 2009 acquisition of
Marvel. Based on a Marvel Comic,
“Big Hero 6” explores the friendship
that develops between a science-geek
teenager and an inflatable robot. The
win shows that Disney has “deepened
its bench” with the Marvel deal and
2012 acquisition of Star Wars owner
THE SHERIDAN PRESS
Lucasfilm, said Seth Shapiro, a professor at the University of Southern
California’s School of Cinematic
Arts.
“Those are game changers, so the
win is not so much a sign necessarily
of Pixar weakening,” he said.
“Big Hero 6” might not have the
fame of “Frozen,” but it has done
very well in theaters. It opened in
November and in just two months
was the 10th top grossing film in
North America for 2014 with $201.5
million. The Oscar win will have a
positive effect on future earnings
power, said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for box-office tracker Rentrak, although the effect is difficult to quantify. It will probably
boost sales internationally, where
“Big Hero 6” is still generating millions in theaters. And likely spur
video and rental revenue, if audiences who haven’t seen the film now
decide to see it or previous viewers
decide they want a repeat viewing.
In general, studios get roughly half
of the theatrical box office after splitting revenue with theaters, he said.
NEW YORK (AP) — Suzan-Lori Parks’
historical trilogy set during the Civil War
has won a theater award honoring the
late U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy, one of the
largest prizes given for dramatic writing.
Parks’ “Father Comes Home from the
Wars (Parts 1, 2 & 3)” traces the journey
of a slave named Hero, his wife, Penny,
and the best friend he betrayed, Homer.
Spanning a total of three hours, the plays
premiered last fall at the Public Theater
to largely rave reviews. It is the initial
trio in a planned nine-play cycle.
“No matter what, the Oscar win for
“Big Hero 6” brings enormous cachet
and prestige to the title and to Disney
and will live on with the film as parts
of its legacy forever,” he added. “Not
only that, the Oscar will now become
a very effective part of any marketing campaign for the film.”
Animation was the bright spot on
Sunday for Walt Disney Co. Other
Disney properties, including musical
“Into the Woods,” Marvel’s
“Guardians of the Galaxy” and
“Maleficent” were nominated in some
categories but did not win.
Meanwhile, Disney Pixar will be
back in action soon: “Inside Out” and
“The Good Dinosaur” will hit theaters later this year. A sequel to
“Finding Nemo,” called “Finding
Dory,” is due in 2016 and in 2017 the
unit plans to release “Toy Story 4,”
directed by original “Toy Story”
director John Lasseter.
Shares of Burbank, Californiabased Disney rose 55 cents to $105.10
in afternoon trading. The stock has
been up 11 percent since the beginning of the year.
The Edward M. Kennedy Prize for
Drama Inspired by American History
honors a new play or musical that
explores the United States’ past and deals
with “great issues of our day.” Given
every year through Columbia University,
it comes with $100,000.
The winning play Monday beat out four

VOA to present advanced screening
of ‘Glen Campbell: I’ll Be Me’
SHERIDAN — Volunteers of America will present an advance screening of the award-winning
documentary, “Glen Campbell: I’ll Be Me” on
Thursday.
The film will begin at 7 p.m. at the WYO Theater.
The documentary is a powerful portrait of the
life and musical legacy of the great American
musical icon known for hits including
“Rhinestone Cowboy,” “Wichita Lineman” and
“Gentle on My Mind.”
Admission to the film is free.
In 2011, when Glen Campbell was diagnosed

Convict in murder plot
that inspired ‘Blind
Faith’ book dies
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — A New
Jersey insurance salesman convicted of plotting to kill his wife
in a crime that inspired the bestselling book “Blind Faith” and a
TV movie has died.
New Jersey’s Department of
Corrections said Robert O.
Marshall died Saturday at South
Woods State Prison in southern
New Jersey. Citing privacy rules,
the department didn’t disclose a
cause of death. Marshall was 75.
Marshall was convicted in 1986
of arranging the slaying of his
wife, Maria. She was found shot
to death in a picnic area along
the Garden State Parkway as the
couple returned from a night in
Atlantic City. Prosecutors contended Marshall had his wife
killed so he could collect a $1.5
million life insurance policy.
Marshall was to have appeared
before the state parole board
next month, according to parole
board Chairman James Plousis.
Marshall’s two sons had testified
at a victim impact hearing this
month, Plousis said.
For nearly 20 years, Marshall
was first in line for execution in
New Jersey after the state reinstated the death penalty in 1982.
But his death sentence was overturned in 2004 when a judge
agreed with Marshall that his
defense lawyer had erred by not
calling any witnesses in the
penalty phase of his trial. New
Jersey abolished the death
penalty three years later.
In a 2007 interview with The
Associated Press, Marshall
maintained his innocence and
said he was framed. Referring to
his move from death row to the
prison’s general population,
Marshall said: “You always have
that hanging over your head.
You think your appeals are going
to run out and you’re going to
take the long walk.”
His story was the subject of
Joe McGinniss’ book “Blind
Faith” and a 1990 movie of the
same name.
The case resurfaced last year
when Larry Thompson, who had
been acquitted of being the triggerman by the same jury that
convicted Marshall, confessed to
the crime. In prison in Louisiana
for armed robbery at the time,
he told authorities that witnesses who said he was in Louisiana
when Maria Marshall was killed
were lying or mistaken.
Legendary jazz
musician Clark Terry
dead at 94
NEW YORK (AP) — Legendary
jazz trumpeter Clark Terry, who
mentored Miles Davis and
Quincy Jones and played in the
orchestras of both Count Basie
and Duke Ellington and on “The
Tonight Show,” has died. He was
94.
Terry’s wife announced his
death on his website late
Saturday night. Gwen Terry’s
statement did not provide further details, and she did not
immediately respond to messages from The Associated Press.
“Our beloved Clark Terry has
joined the big band in heaven
where he’ll be singing and playing with the angels,” Gwen
Terry wrote on the musician’s
official Facebook page.

Key lawmaker, vets group leader
disappointed in VA secretary
WASHINGTON (AP) — A key committee chairman and the head of the American Legion have
expressed disappointment with Veterans Affairs
Secretary Robert McDonald, who admitted misstating that he served in the military’s special forces.
McDonald has apologized after making the erroneous claim while speaking to a homeless veteran
last month.
Michael Helm, national commander of the
American Legion, the largest veterans service
organization, said Tuesday McDonald’s comment
was especially disappointing because he leads a
department trying to restore trust following a
nationwide scandal over long wait times at VA
health centers and falsified records covering up
delays.
House Veterans Affairs Chairman Jeff Miller of
Florida said McDonald must “redouble” efforts to
ensure that his statements, and others by VA leaders, are “completely accurate.”

Bone and joint
doctors fly across
Wyoming to offer care
LARAMIE (AP) — Dr. Mark McKenna watches from a cruising
altitude of 11,000 feet as dawn breaks over Wyoming’s plains.
The landscape below is flat, brown and vast — cast in long shadows, creased and riven in watercourses flowing off the Laramie
Range.
“Once you clear the mountains, it’s definitely a different terrain,” said the Premier Bone and Joint Centers orthopedic surgeon. “You can watch the sun rise over the course of the flight.”
McKenna rides in a Beechcraft King Air C90A. Guided by Pilot
Cody Diekroeger, the twin-engine turboprop sails quietly through the air, its nose pointed for Torrington.
Registered Nurse Abra O’Brien sits across from
McKenna, and Lisa Sinicki, Premier Bone and Joint
travel staff, rides alongside Diekroeger in the cockpit.
The team is preparing for a long day, one which
began before their roughly 6:50 a.m. takeoff from
Laramie Regional Airport; one which would take
McKenna
them to clinics in both Torrington and Casper, where
McKenna would see some 50 patients, as well as perform one bicep surgery in Casper; and one which would have the
entire team back in Laramie by about 7 p.m. — more than 12
hours after departure.
Sitting in the plane’s leather chair, O’Brien said she doesn’t
mind flying all over the state on a day-to-day basis.
“Traveling breaks up your week a little bit,” she says. “It’s not
the same thing every day.”
McKenna and crew are part of one of the most unique orthopedic practices in the country.
Based in Laramie, Premier Bone and Joint flies eight specialized physicians to 11 towns and cities throughout the state. On
any given day, as many as four of the practice’s Beechcraft King
Airs could be aloft in Wyoming skies, whisking doctors and nurses to satellite clinics in places as far flung as Gillette and Rock
Springs, or as small as Wheatland, Torrington and Douglas.
“There’s not another group like this, that does what these guys
do,” Thomas Wolfe, Premier Bone and Joint CEO, said of the
practice. “How they work within the entire state — no other state
has this. Other groups might have one plane, but not four. This
practice is the biggest of its kind.”
Breadth and scale are not the only distinctive features of the
practice, which owes its existence to a sort of symbiotic relationship between the physicians and their patients throughout the
state.
‘There’s not another group like this, that does
what these guys do.’
Thomas Wolfe
Kerry: Russia has lied about its activities in Ukraine
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Secretary of State John Kerry
says Russia has lied “to my face
and the face of others on many
different occasions” about its
activities in Ukraine.
Kerry told a Senate
Appropriations subcommittee
on Tuesday that Russia is
engaged in the biggest propa-
ganda exercise that he’s seen
since the height of the Cold War.
He says Russia has repeatedly
furthered “misrepresentations
— lies — whatever you want to
call them” about its activities
there.
Russian President Vladimir
Putin denies arming rebels in
the war in eastern Ukraine,
which has killed more than 5,600
people and forced over a million
to flee their homes. The fighting
began in April, a month after
Russia annexed the mostly
Russian-speaking Crimean
Peninsula.
Kerry wouldn’t say whether he
favors giving Ukraine lethal
weapons.
McConnell: Strip immigration issue from Homeland budget bill
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Senate’s top Republican shifted
tactics Tuesday to try to free up
stalled legislation to fund the
Department of Homeland
Security in advance of a Friday
midnight deadline.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch
McConnell, R-Ky., moved to disentangle contested immigration
measures from the Homeland
Security budget and debate the
issues separately.
McConnell took procedural
steps to take up stand-alone legislation to reverse President Barack
Obama’s November orders to
allow millions of immigrants in
the country illegally to live and
work in the U.S. McConnell would
leave in place a 2012 directive that
allows immigrants brought to the
U.S. illegally as children to
remain in the country.
“As long as Democrats continue
to prevent us from even debating
that bill, I’m ready to try another
way,” McConnell said.
But he again ran into opposition
from Minority Leader Harry Reid,
D-Nev., who demanded the
Homeland Security budget pass
first before any immigration
debates.
“We’re eager to debate immigration now or any other time,” Reid
said. “But... we can’t do that until
we fully fund the Department of
Homeland Security. We’ve been
saying that for four weeks.”
Tuesday’s developments did little to clear up the impasse over
immigration that is threatening to
partially shut down the Homeland
Security Department within days.
There’s growing sentiment among
Senate Republicans — especially
in the wake of last week’s decision by a federal judge to halt
Obama’s most recent moves on
immigrations — to move beyond
the impasse.
A key vote could come Friday on
the stand-alone immigration
measure, which would likely push
the Homeland Security budget
past a midnight deadline, though
speculation was growing that a
short-term budget measure might
prevent a shutdown.
McConnell’s move appeared
aimed at pressuring Senate
Democrats who have opposed the
legislation because the immigration language is included. It also
would allow Republicans who
oppose Obama’s executive actions
on immigration to register their
opposition with a stand-alone vote
on a separate measure.
But McConnell left unclear how
he would get the department’s
funding bill passed ahead of
Friday’s midnight deadline to
fund the department or see it shut
down.
“This proposal doesn’t bring us
any closer to actually funding
DHS, and Republicans still have
no real plan to achieve that goal,”
said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.
“It’s a disgrace that ISIS and alShabab are fully funded, but
thanks to Republican game-playing, the Department of Homeland
Security might not be.” ISIS is one
acronym for the Islamic State militant group that has taken over
much of Iraq and Syria. Over the
weekend, a video purported to be
released by Somalia’s al-Qaidalinked rebel group al-Shabab
urged Muslims to attack shopping
malls in Western countries.
After last week’s federal court
ruling putting Obama’s immigration programs on hold, a growing
number of Senate Republicans
argued for letting the immigration fight play out in court, and
passing a “clean” bill to fund
Homeland Security, free of the
language on immigration.
House conservatives, by contrast, said the court developments
only strengthened their resolve to
use the Homeland Security budget
to fight Obama on immigration.
They remained adamantly
opposed to a funding bill that
doesn’t include language blocking
Obama on immigration, and also
said they would not support a
short-term extension of current
funding levels.
It was unclear whether
McConnell would succeed in
breaking the unity of Senate
Democrats, who held together for
a fourth time Monday night to
block debate on the House bill
that funds the department
through the Sept. 30 budget year,
while also overturning Obama’s
moves granting work permits to
millions in the U.S. illegally.
“It’s another way to get the
Senate unstuck from a Democrat
filibuster and move the debate forward,” McConnell said on the
Senate floor after the vote to
advance the House-passed bill
failed 47-46, short of the 60 votes
needed. Three previous attempts
earlier in the month had yielded
similar results.
McConnell’s move came after
Obama warned the nation’s governors that states would feel the economic pain of a Homeland
Security shutdown, with tens of
thousands of workers in line to be
furloughed if the agency shuts
down at midnight Friday, and
many more forced to work without pay.
“It will have a direct impact on
your economy, and it will have a
direct impact on America’s
national security,” Obama told
governors as they visited the
White House as part of their
annual conference.
Premier Bone and Joint CEO
On the one hand, a city the size of Laramie could never support
nine highly specialized doctors, Wolfe said.
To find a group with this degree of fellowship training, one
would have to go to a big city, such as Denver or Salt Lake City.
But by expanding care to Wyoming’s near 600,000 residents, the
market is large enough to support the specialized group.
On the other hand, the physicians’ willingness to fly all over the
state grants patients access to specialized care in their hometowns — orthopedic treatment they wouldn’t otherwise receive
without traveling outside of Wyoming.
Premier Bone and Joint’s roots date back to 1973, when David A.
Kieffer opened his orthopedic practice in Laramie. He was joined
in 1976 by Robert Curnow, and the duo renamed the practice Gem
City Bone and Joint.
Over the years, the doctors grew their practice, changed the
name to Premier Bone and Joint and began offering care in other
cities.
In the early years, doctors ran sorties to satellite clinics in a
hired limo. In time, however, it became apparent too many hours
were wasted commuting doctors to and fro on the roads, and, in
the winters, blizzards and ice-sheathed highways made the trips
harrowing and unpredictable.
The partners decided they needed a plane, and the Beechcraft
King Air proved worthy of the task.
Today, the practice employs four pilots and more than 120
administrative and clerical staff. It operates locally out of a 33,000
square-foot building in east Laramie, owns clinics in Rock
Springs and Casper and rents space to treat patients in nine other
locations.
The net effect, Diekroeger said, is a practice covering roughly
three-fourths of Wyoming’s 97,814 square miles.
The backbone of the operation is the doctors, each of whom is a
partner in the practice. Seven are highly specialized orthopedic
surgeons, focusing on a range of subspecialties covering the
entire body — from the neck, back and spine, to joints, shoulders
and knees.
The eighth physician, Michael Kaplan, specializes in non-operative spinal care and interventional spine management — special
methods for treating spinal issues without surgery.
“I challenge you to find another group — in a town of this size
— that has this degree of expertise and advanced, fellowship
training and diversity,” Kaplan said of the doctors.
At about 7:25 a.m. Feb. 3, the plane touches down in Torrington,
a city of about 6,500.
During the approach, Diekroeger uses his smartphone to
remote-start the Premier Bone and Joint vehicle parked at the
Torrington Airport — a warming convenience during cold winter
months.
Diekroeger drives the team to the clinic, a medical office building. They operate out of three rooms, McKenna consulting with
patients, O’Brien and Sinicki checking them in. On this day, a
busy one, 30 patients make the roster. Scrolling through the schedule, O’Brien explains the patients come from all over the area:
Guernsey, Fort Laramie, Lingle and Lusk as well as Mitchell and
Potter, Nebraska.
One of McKenna’s early patients is Jackson Reifschneider, 17, a
Torrington High School student who hurt his knee playing football.
McKenna examines the knee, asking Reifshneider questions and
prompting him to take his knee through a series of movements.
Then he offers three suggestions: Work with the pain through
therapy, get an MRI to determine the extent of the damage or take
injections for the pain.
Reifshneider’s father, Patrick, indicates his son might play football again next season.
McKenna suggests the MRI would likely be the best idea.
“If it was my kid, that’s would I would do,” he says.
The Reifshneiders schedule an MRI for the following week in
Torrington.

Transition to Ridley’s Family Market to occur next week
BY MIKE DUNN
THE SHERIDAN PRESS
SHERIDAN — Officials say customers and employees of the
Sheridan Safeway should hardly
see the difference when the transition to Ridley’s Family Market
takes place next week.
Due to the merger between
Safeway and Albertson’s in 2014,
four Wyoming Safeway stores,
including the Sheridan store
located on Coffeen Avenue, will
be transformed into Ridley’s
Family Markets. The official
change in ownership of the
Sheridan store will take place on
Monday.
“[The Sheridan store] is the
first of four stores we are buying
from Safeway,” said Mark Ridley
owner of Ridley’s Family
Market.
Ridley’s is not expected to
change the existing store’s layout
or services.
“There is going to be a lot of
the same people, the same products,” Ridley said. “There are
going to be a lot of similarities
between the two stores.”
Long-term plans for the store
include introducing more bakery
items, made-from-scratch deli
items and possibly more organic
foods. Safeway brand items will
be removed from the store. All of
the current departments, including the pharmacy, bakery and
meats will remain in the new
Ridley’s Family Market.
Steve Ralston, store manager of

MIKE DUNN | THE SHERIDAN PRESS
Current Safeway manager Steve Ralston, left, and Mark Ridley, owner of Ridley's Family Market, said they expect a
smooth transition to new ownership. Ridley’s Family Market bought the Sheridan store and is expected to take over
ownership next week.
things. I think they are looking
forward to it,” Ralston said.
The news of the change in
ownership has been mostly positive for his employees as well,
Ralston said.
Upon Mark Ridley’s arrival in
Sheridan, Ridley’s corporate and
management teams have been in
the process of hiring people to
work at Ridley’s.
With around 40 people currently working at Safeway, most of
the people hired are current
employees of the Safeway, Ridley
said. Wages and benefits for
those employees will remain
approximately the same once the
change of ownership takes place.
“Our pay scale is very competitive with the market,” Ridley
said. “It’s comparable, if not
higher, than the pay scales of
Safeway.”
Current Safeway employees
were a part of the United Food
and Commercial Union. Ridley
said none of his current stores
are unionized and he is unsure if
the Safeway employees plan to
maintain their union status.
“It’s all pretty much the same,”
Ralston said. “We are going to
continue to operate a grocery
store the same as we did before.
We will continue to try to provide the best fresh items for customers as we can.”
Other locations being purchased by Ridley’s include stores
in Casper and Laramie. Ridley’s
Family Market, headquartered in
Jarome, Idaho, employs around
2,000 people in 24 stores primarily operating in Utah and Idaho.
Ridley’s also has two Wyoming
stores located in Pinedale and
Kemmerer.
Colorado oil, gas debate resumes as task force finishes up
DENVER (AP) — A battle over who should
regulate oil and gas drilling in Colorado has
roared back to life, just as a task force that
was supposed to help settle the dispute is finishing up its recommendations.
The 21-member task force has been
wrestling with how much power local governments should have to regulate drilling,
how to protect the rights of surface owners
when someone else owns the minerals underground, and what health and safety restrictions should be imposed.
The panel is scheduled to take final votes
Tuesday and submit its long-awaited recommendations to Gov. John Hickenlooper on
Friday.
Hydraulic fracturing opponents are
announcing a renewed campaign to ban the
practice in Colorado. Meanwhile, the
Republican-controlled state Senate last week
passed a bill to penalize cities that try to
restrict the technique — though the measure
isn’t expected to survive the Democrat-controlled House.
Similar battles are playing out in other
states, but it’s especially intense in Colorado,
which has abundant oil and gas, a deep-rooted belief in property rights and a strong
environmental movement.
Among the recommendations that might
have enough support to get into the final
report are allowing local governments to
impose stricter rules than the state and giving surface property owners more of a say in
where drilling rigs can be set up.
A proposal to require full disclosure of
drilling chemicals had less support in preliminary votes. Backers also withdrew a proposal to increase the minimum distance between
rigs and houses, citing a lack of support.
‘I think that Coloradans rightly expect
industry to be responsible, they rightly
expect the state to enforce regulations on
the industry...’
Frank McNulty
Former state lawmaker
The task force isn’t considering a ban on
hydraulic fracturing, like the one in New
York state. But a new group called
Coloradans Against Fracking is launching a
campaign against the practice on Tuesday.
Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, pumps
water, sand and chemicals under high pres-
sure to break up underground formations
and release oil and gas.
“We believe that the task force recommendations fail to address the inherent harms of
fracking and similarly will fail to protect
Coloradans,” said Sam Schabacker, regional
director of Food & Water Watch and one of
the organizers of Coloradans Against
Fracking.
Compounding the debate, some drilling rigs
are working at the doorstep of residential
neighborhoods, triggering complaints about
non-stop noise and lights and raising fears
about potential health effects and pollution.
Hickenlooper set up the task force in
August in a deal that kept four divisive measures off the November ballot. Two would
have restricted drilling and two would have
encouraged it.
Frank McNulty, a Republican and former
state lawmaker who was a primary backer of
the pro-industry measures, said he expects
the debate to be settled by voters, not the task
force.
“I think that Coloradans rightly expect
industry to be responsible, they rightly
expect the state to enforce regulations on the
industry. But I also know Coloradans benefit
from having a strong oil and gas industry in
the state,” he said.

Grizzlies beat Clippers 90-87 behind Conley and Green
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Memphis
Grizzlies are on a roll with Jeff Green.
The Los Angeles Clippers aren’t the same
without Blake Griffin.
When the teams got together, they played a
grind-it-out style better suited to the Grizzlies
than the high-flying Clippers, whose fourgame winning streak ended with a 90-87 loss
Monday night.
Mike Conley scored 18 points, Jeff Green
added 16 and Marc Gasol had 14 to help the
Grizzlies improve to 15-3 since Green joined
the team on Jan. 12.
“We just grind, play hard, play defense and
play together,” said Zach Randolph, who had
10 rebounds. “There’s nothing pretty about it.
We don’t have any high-fliers. We always play
A-Rod
back early
with
Yankees
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Alex
Rodriguez reported to the
New York Yankees three
days ahead of schedule. He
spoke for 8 1/2 minutes
about his season-long drug
suspension.
But on his first day back
with the team since
September 2013, he never
said why he resumed the
use of performance-enhancing drugs, never explained
what he did and avoided getting into any specifics.
“I cringe when I look at
some of the things I did,”
Rodriguez said, surrounded
by about 40 reporters on the
sidewalk outside the
Yankees minor league complex. “No mistake that I
made has any good answer,
no justification. It’s unexplainable, and that’s on me.
I’ve dug a big hole for
myself. Paid a price.”
New York asked him to
hold a pre-spring training
news conference at Yankee
Stadium, but Rodriguez
declined. The Yankees told
him they didn’t want him
holding one at Steinbrenner
Field, where they felt it
would be a distraction.
So Rodriguez improvised.
Wearing a green
University of Miami sweatsuit, he arrived at
Steinbrenner Field on
Monday morning for his
physical, three days before
the first workout for
Yankees’ position players.
Shortly before 1 p.m., he
showed up at the minor
league complex, a little less
than 1 mile away, carrying
what appeared to be a tan
bat box.
After changing into
Yankees’ shorts, a T-shirt
and a spring training cap,
Rodriguez worked out for
about an hour. He hit six
home runs in 71 swings and
took grounders at shortstop.
Yankees manager Joe
Girardi and general manager Brian Cashman say
Chase Headley will be their
starting third baseman and
Rodriguez will compete for
at-bats at designated hitter.
Rodriguez called Headley
an “excellent addition” to
the team. Rodriguez did not
take grounders at first base.
“I’m willing to try,” he
said. “When Joe needs me,
I’m going to be ready. I’m
here early, trying to get a
jump-start. It’s a process.
It’s going to take time.”
Suspended for violations
of baseball’s drug agreement and labor contract,
Rodriguez apologized to
team officials during a meeting at Yankee Stadium on
Feb. 10 and to fans in a statement last week. His handwritten statement to fans
offered no details.
the same way, so it didn’t matter if Blake was
out there or not.”
It did to the Clippers, who still had their
other late-game option in Chris Paul. But he
lost the ball with 1.9 seconds left and bent over
with his hands in his head.
“All I could think about was if I was watching at home this dummy didn’t even get a shot
up,” said Paul, who had 30 points and 10
rebounds. “I didn’t execute on that last play.
You try to thrive in those situations and for
that to happen, it’s tough.”
Memphis led by eight before the Clippers
scored seven in a row to close to 88-87. After
Conley stripped Paul, he got fouled and made
both. The game ended with Matt Barnes
throwing the ball into the hands of Courtney
Lee.
“We like to wrap teams up with both hands
and put them down in the mud,” Gasol said.
“That’s where we feel more comfortable.”
Jamal Crawford added 15 points off the
bench for the Clippers.
No surprise that it was a tight game between
the teams who’ve met in the playoffs twice in
the last three years. Neither led by more than
eight points and there were 12 lead changes
and 11 ties. The teams will meet again Friday
in Memphis.
The Clippers fell to 4-2 without the injured
Griffin, and have lost both meetings with the
Grizzlies this season. DeAndre Jordan finished with nine points — well under his 20.8
average without Griffin — and 17 rebounds.

Stanford
starts spring
trying to
regain
reputation
STANFORD, Calif. (AP) —
There is no momentum
from a major bowl berth, no
satisfaction from surprising
skeptics and no sugarcoating the challenge ahead for
Stanford.
For the first time in five
years, the Cardinal kicked
off spring practice Monday
night the way so many other
programs do: out to show
they belong among the country’s best after a season that
fell short of expectations.
“I love it,” Stanford coach
David Shaw said. “There’s a
hunger right now. As much
as we try not to worry about
what other people say about
us, it’s nice when people
talk about our conference
and don’t talk about us. Our
guys get a little upset. I
think that’s great. Because
the bottom line is you have
to prove yourself every
year.”
Stanford routed its final
three opponents —
California, UCLA and
Maryland in the Foster
Farms Bowl — to finish 8-5
last season, which not long
ago would’ve been considered a success on The Farm.
But nobody around here
will praise that kind of
record these days, not after
winning the Pac-12 title the
previous two years and
making a BCS bowl the previous four.
Shaw is as curious as anybody to see if the Cardinal
can carry their late-season
surge over to spring practices, voluntary summer
workouts and fall Saturdays
and re-establish the program as a College Football
Playoff contender.
“Both extremes, you get a
chance to see what kind of
character you have,” Shaw
said. “When you have a lot
of success, you get a chance
to see if guys come back and
still work. When you don’t
have success, you don’t
reach your goals the year
before, you want to see if
guys are hungry and want
to come back and reach
those goals.”

David Ortiz:
‘My belly
hasn’t grown
like Panda’
FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — Big Papi arrived at
spring training with a weighty quip about new teammate Pablo Sandoval.
“My belly hasn’t grown like Panda,” David Ortiz said
Tuesday, joking about new Boston Red Sox teammate
Pablo Sandoval.
Ortiz, the final player on the 40-man roster to report,
wore black-framed glasses and was dressed in a black
T-shirt with black jeans. He gave hugs and handshakes
to many of his teammates and front office personnel.
“It’s like that every year, I think, everybody anticipates him showing up,” Boston pitcher Clay Buchholz
said. “When he does, it’s usually with a new haircut
and different shoes and different pants, but he always
comes in looking like David Ortiz, and that’s the best
part about him. Everybody loves being around him
and loves him being around in general. He’s just a
good guy to have in your clubhouse.”
Signed as a free agent in 2003, the 39-year-old Ortiz is
the longest-tenured player on the Red Sox.
A career .285 hitter with 466 homers and 1,533 RBIs,
Ortiz joined Hall of Famers Ted Williams and Carl
Yastrzemski last season as the only three players with
400 homers while playing for the Red Sox.
Ortiz is the only player who was part of Boston’s
World Series winning teams in 2004, ‘07 and ‘13.
The 2013 World Series MVP is entering his 19th season in the majors and his 13th with the Red Sox.

James Hahn finds no substitute for desire and hard work
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The next two
months suddenly are loaded with perks
James Hahn never imagined.
His victory Sunday at Riviera gives him a
two-year exemption on a PGA Tour that
took him a decade to reach. He qualified
for two World Golf Championships. He’s
going to the Masters for the first time.
What’s more, his wife is expecting their
first child in three weeks.
But like so many other players who toiled
like Hahn, winning is sweeter when looking back, not forward.
“Came from a small town. Didn’t do well
in college. Was never an All-American.
Sold shoes for a living,” he said, reciting a
journey that sounded more back roads
than Autobahn. “And then just one day, the
putts started going in and I started playing
a little better. Won a couple of golf tournaments, and now I’m here.”
If only it were that simple.
Hahn, born in South Korea and raised in
the Bay Area, walked through the locker
room at Riviera and saw portraits of the
past champions. It’s an impressive collection, ranging from Ben Hogan to Byron
Nelson, from Johnny Miller to Tom
Watson, from Fred Couples to Phil
Mickelson.
None of them ever worked at Nordstrom.
“I sold a lot of shoes,” Hahn said with a
smile, the silver trophy from the Northern
Trust Open at his side. “I was pretty good
at it.”
Golf was a little harder.
He tried the mini-tours. He played one
year in South Korea, two more in Canada,
trying to find his way. What he remembers
distinctly is a tournament in Edmonton,
Alberta, where he had about $200 in his
wallet and was asking himself if it was
worth the effort.
And that’s when he questioned his own
effort.
“I’m sitting there in my room,” he said.
“I’ve got to borrow money to pay for my
caddie fee. It was a little embarrassing. I
was going to borrow money from my parents to get a flight home. And I’m sitting
there on the computer going on Craigslist
and I start looking for jobs. It kind of hit
me like, ‘Hey, you have an opportunity to
do something with your life.’ And I was
just wasting it, hanging out with friends,
partying on the weekends. I wasn’t putting
in the time.”
Perhaps it was that honesty that cleared
his mind and allowed him to finish in the
top 10 that week. He recalls making around
$3,000, which felt closer to $1 million. When
he returned to Edmonton a year later, he
won.
“I thought I was a millionaire,” he said.
“I was like, ‘Dinner’s on me, guys. Got
$1,000 in my bank account. Don’t worry
about.’ Seeing exactly a year ago where I
was and how much work I put into it, and
to be able to play golf at that point ... that
was a big, big goal of mine, just to keep
playing golf.”
He has more in the bank account now.
Hahn rolled in a 25-foot birdie putt on the
third extra hole at Riviera — the par-3 14th
— to beat Dustin Johnson and Paul Casey
in a playoff. Hideki Matsuyama, Jordan
Spieth, Keegan Bradley and Sergio Garcia
all missed the playoff by a shot.
He earned $1.26 million, and when someone asked if it felt like a million, Hahn
quickly corrected him.
“No, it is $1 million. It’s not like $1 million,” he replied with that easy smile.
He spent Wednesday afternoon on the
practice range trying to hit 60-yard wedges
into small nets because it reminded him of
his days as a kid. That came in handy with
a flop shot over the back bunker on No. 10
that set up a birdie and allowed him to stay
in the playoff with Johnson.
And the rain that hit Riviera over the
final two hours? More memories of his
road to winning.
“I love the rain, absolutely love it,” he
said. “Not to be spiritual about it, but I feel
like it’s God’s way of just washing the
streets and making everything fresh again.
Because that’s what happens in the Bay
Area when we get a lot of rain. The streets
are clean, spotless.”

Columbia hires former Penn coach Bagnoli to lead lowly Lions
NEW YORK (AP) — Columbia has hired Al Bagnoli, who
retired as Penn’s coach 13 weeks ago after a long and successful run with the Quakers, to try to revive the Ivy
League’s worst football program.
Columbia announced the hiring of Bagnoli on Monday.
The 62-year-old Bagnoli was at Penn for 23 years, won nine
Ivy League titles and had an overall record of 148-80,
including 112-49 in the conference. Penn had six undefeated seasons in the Ivy League and three perfect seasons
under Bagnoli.
Bagnoli stepped down after last season, handing the head
coaching job to defensive coordinator Ray Priore and moving into an athletic administration job at Penn. Bagnoli’s
NCAA WOMEN’S TOP 25 |
last league title came three seasons ago, but his last two
teams combined to win six games.
“He is a proven winner whose record speaks for itself —
and who teaches his student-athletes to win on the field, in
the classroom and in life,” athletic director Peter Pilling
said in a statement. “We are thrilled that he has decided to
commit his widely admired leadership to building the
long-term success of Columbia football.”
Pilling, a former vice president at the sports marketing
firm IMG College, was hired by Columbia earlier this
month.
Bagnoli is scheduled to be introduced at a news conference on campus Tuesday.

BORN LOSER® by Art and Chip Sansom
Troglobites -- that's what
biologists call cave-dwelling
creatures that live without
ever seeing sunlight -- come
in weird shapes and sizes.
The eyeless, white, dragonlike amphibian called an olm
can survive without food up
to 10 years and lives for
around 60. Despite a life
spent without sunlight, the
olm seem to reproduce generation after generation without much trouble. They're
related to several species that
emerged some 190 million
years ago.
Humans can't do so well in
the dark, although it's where
we have a lot of fun! We're
natural sunshine seekers,
and our biochemistry
depends on sunlight to help
regulate everything from our
sleep cycle to our immune
system. We make vitamin D,
which functions as a hormone, through the interaction of sunlight with the
body (the liver and kidney
are responsible for making D
bio-active). So can vitamin D
work as hormone replacement therapy for guys with
erectile dysfunction?
We know the big D promotes calcium absorption
(bone health), modulates cell
growth, and immune and
neuromuscular function, but
treat ED? Researchers at the
University of Milan think so.
Their research suggests that
vitamin D helps prevent arteriogenic (clogged-up or
inflexible blood vessels) ED
that's caused by circulation
problems. Turns out guys
with this kind of ED have
measurably lower blood levels of D -- below 20 mg/dL.
The researchers suggest that
guys with ED get their D
level checked and, if it's low,
consider taking a therapeutic
dose, plus get 15 minutes of
daily sun exposure. That will
brighten up your dark nights!

SELDOM-SEEN WIFE
SPENDS MORE TIME WITH
MOM THAN HUSBAND
DEAR ABBY: I have been
married to "Carla" for 16
years. It's my second marriage. My problem is I never
see her. She has always spent
more time with her mother
than with me. We see each
other for about an hour a day
after she returns from her
mom's, usually at 9:45 to 10
p.m.
I have had several conversations about this with her
over the years, but nothing
seems to work. We'll argue
and she starts to cry, and it
ends without a resolution.
Her mother is in her mid-80s
and has had her share of
health problems.
Carla has a sister who
could help out, but rarely
does. I have had health problems of my own -- a kidney
transplant and several bouts
of skin cancer -- but she doesn't seem to care as much
about my problems as she
does her mom's. Her mother
even tells her to go home to
be with me, to no avail.
I love my wife, but my isolation and loneliness are finally getting to me. How can I
convince her that this isn't
fair to me or our marriage?
How much longer do I take
it? -- LONELY IN ILLINOIS
DEAR LONELY: I feel sorry
for both of you. Your wife
may be trying so hard to be a
responsible daughter that she
has forgotten you need her,
too. Your sister-in-law should
have stepped up and started
doing her share long ago -and she still may if you and
your wife talk to her about it
together.
I don't know what your
schedule is like, but you
might have more time with
Carla if you went with her to
your mother-in-law's occasionally. It might also
improve your communication
if the two of you went for
marriage counseling. If
Carla's mother has to insist
she go home to you, there
may be reasons other than
her mother's health for
Carla's spending so much
time away.
Nothing will change until
you get to the bottom of it, so
don't let your wife's tears prevent you. And if your wife
resists seeing a counselor, go
without her.
DEAR ABBY: My husband
and I recently quit our jobs
and moved to London from
New York. Being a freelancer
and having lived here before,
he's never had trouble finding work. But I have just
changed careers, and I'm
finding it hard to earn a consistent paycheck here.
Despite his constant assurances that he is happy supporting both of us right now,
I can't shake feeling guilty. I
have never felt right living
on someone else's dime -- not
even my parents' while I was
growing up. Should I man up
and find a job I don't exactly
love to better contribute, or
"keep on truckin'" without
guilt with hopes of getting
there? -- GUILTY IN LONDON
DEAR GUILTY: Because of
your history, I'm not sure you
are capable of happily
"keepin' on truckin'" without
contributing financially. For
some people, the sense of
independence they derive
from having a job is important to their self-worth.
I say, look around
and see if there are some job
openings. It's better than sitting around moping and feeling guilty, and it might give
you and your husband a
chance to make some new
friends.

DON'T TAKE
A FINESSE
THAT MUST
LOSE
Does your
partner suffer
from finesseophilia? Will she or he
take every available finesse? If so, show your partner this deal.
How should South play
the play in four spades?
West leads the diamond ace
(under which East encourages with his nine), continues with the diamond king
and plays a third diamond
to his partner's queen.
Note South's bidding sequence. To make a takeout
double, then, after partner
advances with a minimum
bid in a suit, to rebid shows
a very strong hand: at least
18 high-card points (or a
super 17).
Declarer starts with five
potential losers in his hand:
Phillip Alder
one heart, two diamonds
and two clubs. He has only
eight top tricks: five spades,
one heart and two clubs.
Perhaps South would think
that he can get at least one
more heart trick. And
maybe clubs are 3-3, or
the fourth round can be
ruffed in the dummy. But
if a finessing fanatic
crosses to dummy with a
trump and runs the heart
queen, he will fail here.
West takes the trick and
returns, say, a trump.
Count the high-card
points. There are only 15
missing, and East has already produced the diamond queen. West must
have the heart king.
South should cash his
heart ace and lead another heart. If West takes
the trick, declarer has 10
tricks: five spades, three
hearts and two clubs. Or,
if West ducks, South can
play three rounds of
clubs to arrange a club ruff
in the dummy.
Use the bidding to place
missing key-cards and do
not take a finesse that must
lose.
Hints from Heloise
Dear Heloise: Regarding
your recent column in the
newspaper and the importance of having renters insurance: We were told that
if a person does not have
renters insurance and a
FIRE destroys the
home/building, the landlord's insurance company
may sue the tenant for the
loss of the structure if the
fire is the fault of the renter.
I don't know if that's true
or not, but it is well worth
looking into in case it is
fact. Thank you for your interesting column. -- Linda
Greene, via email
Linda, this is correct, and
thank you for a very good
reminder! The key wording
here is if the cause of the
fire can be proven to be the
tenant's fault, which does
seem right when you think
about the situation. A
neighbor left something
cooking on the stove and
the building caught fire? A
tenant left the apartment
with a fire in the fireplace,
or went to bed with decorative candles still burning in
the den? Who is at fault?
Not the landlord, and not

you.
Most people who rent an
apartment, condo or house
just assume that the landlord's insurance covers
claims of this sort. The landlord's insurance company
usually tries to go after the
person at fault.
Not having renters insurance (it's cheap, too!) is a bet
you should NOT gamble on.

SPARE KEY
Dear Heloise: Ever since I
locked my keys in the car, I
carry a spare key with my
pocket change. The hardware store cuts a key on the
right blank for a couple of
dollars. The key won't start
my car, but it will unlock
the door. Car keys with
computer chips can cost
$100 or more. (Heloise here:
Depending on the key
and/or key fob, it can cost
several hundreds of dollars.) -- Richard in Ohio
I have done the same, and
I slip the single key (sometimes known as a valet key)
in my wallet. Mine only
opens the door and starts
the truck. A few bucks to
save hundreds, and a little

NUMBER PUZZLES
Dear Heloise: My husband
and I enjoy doing the number-placement puzzle in our
daily paper. The problem
was deciding who got to do
it. The first one to the paper
quickly draws the puzzle on
another piece of paper, then
completes the puzzle.
We use the back of junk
mail and printer paper we
don't need. I can draw it in
less than 45 seconds. You
can draw it larger or, if you
make a mistake, draw it
again. It's much easier to
see the number pattern this
way also. We both do the
puzzle and reuse paper that
was headed to the trash. -Sally, via email
ADHESIVE BANDAGES
Dear Heloise: We have
several adhesive-bandage
boxes, but didn't know what
size was in which box. So
we sorted the bandages into
sizes, with an example
taped to the front of each
box. Maybe this hint will
help others. -- Mary A., Vancouver, Wash.

TAURUS (April 20-May
20): Maintain your dignity.
Generous gifts might be
perceived as an insincere
effort to buy someone's allegiance. Tone down your exuberance in formal
business settings.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
Friends in high places may
help you reach your objectives, so listen to what they
say. Tried-and-true friends
could have ideas that will
increase your standing in
the community or help you
along your career path.
CANCER (June 21-July
22): Look on the bright side,
but keep a flashlight on
hand to navigate the shadows. Optimism with no
basis in reality could trip
you up. Keep your money
safe in the bank and avoid
extravagant spending.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):
Networking could pay off.
You could stumble onto a
gold mine if you listen carefully to what is said. Old
friends are more reliable
than new ones, but new contacts can open up the door
to opportunity.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

tempting to twist the truth
to make yourself appear in
a better light, but that
might set off a chain of unfortunate events.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.
21): An ounce of discretion
is worth a pound of disclosure. It's usually better to be
absolutely forthright and
honest. At the same time,
you don't need to disclose
everything about a financial situation.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Clean out your
closets and sweep under the
beds. Find ways to organize
your finances and possessions for greater efficiency.
Make no promises or guarantees, but honor existing
commitments.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): Teamwork is the key to
success. Your competitive
nature may be less noticeable if you strive to be generous and cooperative. This
is a good time to start new
projects that you will see to
the end.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18): If someone is smitten
with your charms, be flattered and add his or her
name to your long list of admirers. Just don't take a
new conquest too seriously;
only time will tell whether
this is the real thing.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20): Stick to your principles.
Exercise your body, as well
as your mind. Part with
your extra pennies and put
a little pizzazz in your surroundings. It's a great time
to clear out the closets.
IF FEBRUARY 25 IS
YOUR BIRTHDAY: Life
seems more tranquil and
harmonious to you during
the next 4-6 weeks. You're
more sensitive to your surroundings, as well as others. The first half of March
is an excellent time to be
more practical, however.
Reassess your business, career, or financial goals because your business sense
will be at a peak. May is a
very good month for a vacation or a romantic interlude. Plan ahead so you
won't need to make major
changes or launch key projects in November, when
Lady Luck won't be around.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS |
Public notices allow citizens to monitor their government and make sure that it is
working in their best interest. Independent newspapers assist in this cause by
carrying out their partnership with the people’s right to know through public
notices. By offering an independent and archived record of public notices,
newspapers foster a more trusting relationship between government and its
citizens.
Newspapers have the experience and expertise in publishing public notices and
have done so since the Revolutionary War. Today, they remain an established,
trustworthy and neutral source that ably transfers information between
government and the people.
Public notices are the lasting record of how the public’s resources are used and are
presented in the most efficient and effective means possible.

Perry, Silfverberg lift Ducks over Wings 4-3
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Until a
third-period scoring burst, the
Anaheim Ducks had no answers
for Pavel Datsyuk’s domination.
Datsyuk controlled the stat
sheet for the Detroit Red Wings
until the Ducks’ line of Ryan
Kesler, Jakob Silfverberg and
Andrew Cogliano finally got
Anaheim going Monday night.
The Ducks rallied by scoring
three goals in the third period
after falling behind 2-0. They
came away with a 4-3 shootout
win over the Red Wings despite
two goals from Datsyuk.
Cogliano ignited a furious surge
with his goal midway through the
period, setting the stage for Corey
Perry and Silfverberg to score in
the shootout for a third consecutive Anaheim win.
John Gibson made 35 saves for
the Ducks, then stopped Tomas
Tatar’s shot in his first-ever
shootout appearance to secure the
extra point.
“We hung in,” said Ducks coach
Bruce Boudreau, who won his
350th career game. “We stayed
within striking distance of a team
that was outplaying us pretty
good in the first two periods. We
got lucky and won it.”
It seemed as if the Ducks would

With Henrik Zetterberg sidelined (possible head injury),
Datsyuk picked up the slack on
offense by picking off Clayton
Stoner’s attempt to clear the puck
and scoring 3:54 into the period.
He added his sixth goal in his last
five games and 21st of the season
three minutes later on the power
play.
“Datsyuk is such a good player,
and when you can control him . I
know it sounds weird considering
he got two goals, but when Kesler
was out there he was controlling
him. And that’s a tough job to do,”
Boudreau said.
“Kesler’s line was great all
night. There was only one shift
they didn’t play against Datsyuk,
and Datsyuk scored, and then he
scored on the power play goal.
Everything else, I thought the
Kesler-Silfverberg-Cogliano line
was really good.”
With the Red Wings unable to
extend their lead, the Ducks eventually cracked Jimmy Howard,
who stopped 22 of 25 shots. After
Cogliano whacked home a
rebound, Emerson Etem did the
same by sending the puck
between Howard’s legs 90 seconds
later.
Francois Beauchemin put the
Ducks ahead at 12:57 in the third
period before Riley Sheahan tied
the game with 3:49 remaining.
PHOENIX (AP) — Avery Bradley
scored 23 points, Isaiah Thomas
burned his former team with eight
critical points in the last two minutes, and Boston held off Phoenix.
Boston made a season-high 14 3pointers, 10 in the first half as the
Celtics ran out to a 19-point lead
against the struggling Suns. But
Phoenix cut the lead to one on a 3
from Eric Bledsoe with 2:33 remain-
His 10th goal came on a onetimer set up exquisitely by Gustav
Nyquist.
Datsyuk hit the post on his try
in the shootout, and the Ducks
made the Red Wings pay for their
inability to put the game away.
“We needed to just keep playing
how we played in the first two
periods,” Datsyuk said. “I think
after it was 2-0 we tried to be safe
and play back. They started to
shoot everything and follow the
rebounds.”
The Red Wings played without
Zetterberg for the first time this
season.
He was scratched after being
punched in the face by Dallas’
Jamie Benn in the second period
of a wild 7-6 win over the Stars on
Saturday. Zetterberg leads the
team with 34 assists and 49 points.
NOTES: The Red Wings continue their six-game road trip
Tuesday night against the Kings.
It will be the Red Wings’ seventh
set of back-to-back contests this
season; they are 4-1-1 on the second night. The Ducks, who have
not won at home in regulation
since Jan. 21, will look to snap
that streak Wednesday when they

Thomas, just four days removed
