109th Year, No. 151 Thursday, July 30, 2015 Washakie County Goat Show — 3 50 Cents Warrior Football Camp — 6 Hot Springs County Fair — 10 Expansion proposed Flower show celebrates 30 years Star Plunge project in Thermopolis includes luxury hotel By Ryan Mitchel Collins Staff Writer THERMOPOLIS — Roland Luehne has worked for the Star Plunge in Thermopolis for 40 years now, serving as the owner of the establishment for the past three years. Luehne recently submitted a proposal for the expansion of the local attraction to the state. “We get people from all over the world that come here year round,” said Luehne. He added, “An expansion to the park would benefit the community as a whole. It will be good for Thermopolis and Hot Springs County. Everyone will benefit, from the other hotels to the restaurants, gas stations, camp grounds, everybody. It will increase our tax revenues in the millions of dollars. Money we can use for all kinds of things that benefit everybody.” The proposed expansion of the Star Plunge that is located in the Hot Springs State Park includes a 100-room luxury hotel, additional splash park, wave pool, two new parking lots, and a Starbuck’s-like restaurant. Parking has always been a problem in Hot Springs State Park, according to Luehne. The 108 additional parking spaces in the proposal would eliminate a longtime issue. at the Washakie County Fair See ‘Expansion,’ page 2 COURTESY/Myers Anderson An overhead architect rendering of the purposed new construction at Star Plunge.

Big Horn Mountain trees downed by straight-line winds Winds reached speeds of up to 90 – 100 mph By Zach Spadt Staff Writer WORLAND — Straight-line winds in Bighorn National Forest near the Sheridan/Big Horn County border are the culprit for a 3.6-mile path of downed trees Monday. According to the National Weather Service in Riverton, on July 28, the area experienced winds reaching speeds up to 90 – 100 mph. The damage path was at least .4 miles wide a 3.6 miles in length. “Damage was representative of straight-line winds with no tornado signatures apparent. Two (camper trailers) were observed to be destroyed with two additional having significant damage,” according to the National Weather Service.

Judge looks for fresh, clean flowers By Taylor Maya Staff Writer WORLAND — The 30th annual flower show at the Washakie County Fair was in full swing Wednesday afternoon as more than 100 flowers were being judged. Flower show supervisor Jane O’Connor said the flower show started in 1985 and she has been the supervisor for 10 years. O’Connor said that all flowers that are entered into the competition must be home grown. The sections of competition available are annuals, perennials, herbs, roses, limbs and house plants. According to O’Connor, there are 68 annuals and 55 perennials entered into the flower show this year. “The entries held their own from last year. The most popular flowers are marigolds, coreopsis, petunias, Rebeccas and Indian blanket because they all grow well here,” she said. The flower show has two other events including still life and table setting. O’Connor said, “I am delighted there are three designs and table settings this year. I love to see people’s interpretations.” These competition areas are professionally judged and this year the judge was Stacy O’Brian from Billings, Montana. “I look for fresh and clean flowers. I make sure the petals aren’t discolored or weak.” O’Connor said she is pleased with the show this year, especially since it is in a new location. “We are now in the front of the conference building and we have a new setup. It is an easier display. It’s very showy and colorful in here.” Next year O’Connor would like to see more entries. She said, “There are beautiful gardens in Worland and I would love to see people enter one or more of the flowers from their gardens.” Fair provides Big Horn County opportunity to showcase new facility By Karla Pomeroy Editor The 2015 Big Horn County Fair officially opened Monday with the horse show, the first event in the new indoor multi-purpose facility. Fair Manager Vangi Hackney said, “We’re excited to showcase the new facility with all the livestock shows and the horse halter show.” The Junior Livestock Sale will also be held in the new building Friday night. According to a Big Horn County Fair Board news release, the new multi-purpose building is located between the Big Horn REA Arena and the main fair building and office. The building is officially named the Big Horn REA/Basin Electric Power Cooperative MultiPurpose Building at the county fairgrounds on the south side of Basin. The building features an indoor arena, a shower area for those staying at the campground on the fairgrounds, a concession stand, restrooms and a wash rack for animals be shown by 4-H, FFA and others. Temporary bleachers were set up for the horse show on Monday for spectators of the show and will be set up for all of the shows and livestock sale on Friday. Fair Board Vice President Andy Perkins said, “It turned out really nice. It’s almost more than I envisioned. I’m very pleased with how it came through. I’ve heard nothing but positive comments from the public at fair.” Perkins said the “donors have helped us tremendously and Synergy Construction was real easy to work with. They went out of their way to get it done for us. Fair Board Treasurer Casey Sorenson said the building cost just under $1.2 million. He said, “It’s nice to see it be used for the first time essentially and give us some idea what type DAILY NEWS/Karla Pomeroy The Big Horn County Fair horse show (seen here) and livestock shows are being held in the new indoor multi-purpose facility in Basin. The facility was finished just in time for this year’s fair. Planning started about four years ago. of events and how we can make it more utilized. We still got a lot left to do to make this as usable as we can.” The next phase the fair board will be working on is construc- tion a lean-to on the side to house the swine during fair, extending the heating and cooling system and purchasing rodeo equipment. Estimated cost, Sorenson said, is about $1.5 million. He said they are seeking grant funding for the next phase. “This is just the start of a long process. If we do it right we will continue to improve the building,” he said. Long-term plans also include multi-purpose flooring. The facility According to the release, “The new building will offer a reliable alternative to Wyoming’s often unpredictable weather and will it possible to offer multi-week, scheduled programs when weather might otherwise cause cancellations. The new building is 130-foot by 180-foot with future plans to extend the building, according to the release. The arena is 110-foot by 180-foot free span with a 20-foot by 180-foot lean-to along one side for the restrooms, concession area that includes three picnic tables and the livestock wash rack. The building includes heating and cooling system in the restroom area. Usage Big Horn County Commissioner and former fair board member Felix Carrizales said, “I’m excited to have the building up. It’s been in the works for a long time. It’s good that it’s up and being used. I hope it’s going to benefit the people of having some of these shows inside where there is shade. And hopefully that building is offering a cooler atmosphere that we were all looking for, temperature wise, for the people in attendance and those involved in the shows.” Carrizales said the facility has garnered interest from more than just horse-related events.

This loan would be paid back by me. It would be in the state’s best interest and help everyone out,” said Luehne. Construction would take a projected two years, according to Luehne. Luehne is forming a master- plan for the project, and architect renderings of the project show a dramatic increase to the existing structure, including the rerouting of the current road. “This would be a year-round attraction that will continually draw people to the area,” said Luehne. He said the fair board has reported that people are interested in doing car shows and recreational sports events like volleyball tournaments. “I was kind of excited about that,” he said. Hackney said she has also had a call about doing a ranch and farm equipment show in the building. “Being one of those on the prior board and having been involved and all the things we went through – I hope the public now will stand behind it now that we have it; and fully support it, as well as we all need to,” Carrizales said. He added, “I hope all the public will support it, use it and take advantage of what we do have now; what we’ve been helped with to get it built. That building was built, on the most part on grants (State Loan and Investment Board, Daniel’s Fund and county consensus block grant) and donations, we need to be grateful to the people who have given that money to do that now that we can use it.” Hackney said the board will be revising costs for renting the facility at the next meeting, Aug. 3. Anyone interested in more information about the facility may contact the fair office at 568-2968. There were three other campers initially included in reports but were not on site, it is unknown if they were never there or just moved, according to the release. There were no injuries or fatalities associated with the severe weather event. The event was caused by a cold front that came through the area Monday. “A significant amount of instability, moisture, lift and spin were present in the atmosphere across northern Wyoming on Monday. This creates an environment favorable for straight-line winds, microbursts and tornadoes,” according to the National Weather Service. Officials with the weather service observed the downed trees lying in the same direction. Trees lying in the same direction is indicative of straight-line winds. The damage was not consistent with a tornado. According to the weather service, downed trees consistent with a tornado lie in a twisting pattern. Downed trees consistent with a downburst lie in a divergent pattern. “It doesn’t take a tornado to cause extensive damage to property or trees. Straight-line thunderstorm winds and downburst winds can do just as much damage and can exceed 125 mph,” according to the NWS. CHEYENNE — A three-vehicle crash on July 28 has resulted in the death of 78-year-old Lovell, resident Dorothy B. Winterholler. The crash occurred at 5:25 p.m. on US Highway 14A at mile post 49 approximately three miles east of Lovell. Winterholler was driving a 2014 Cadillac SRX eastbound on US 14A. Jose Rivera-Lopez, a 40-year-old resident of Byron, Wyoming, was westbound driving a 2007 Peterbilt straight truck. The driver’s side rear set of dual tires came off of the Peterbilt causing one of the tires to cross into the eastbound lane. Winterholler reacted by steering to the left to avoid the tire but the tire still impacted the Cadillac. After impact with the tire, the Cadillac crossed into the westbound lane and crashed with a westbound 2013 Chevrolet Suburban. Winterholler and the occupants of the Suburban were all transported to the North Big Horn Hospital in Lovell by ground ambulance. Rivera-Lopez did not sustain any injury. Winterholler succumbed to her injuries from the crash while at the hospital. Both Winterholler and Rivera-Lopez were wearing their seat belts at the time of the crash. The occupants of the Suburban have yet to be identified at the time of this release. The crash did cause a temporary closure of US 14A. Equipment failure is being investigated as the contributing factor in this crash. Charges are pending as the investigation continues.

DAILY NEWS/Taylor Maya Family shot after offering help to stranded driver Suspect caught near Meeteetse BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A man who was stopped along a road on Montana’s Crow Indian Reservation gunned down a family who tried to help him Wednesday, killing the couple and wounding their daughter, a relative said. The FBI confirmed that two people were killed and a third injured by gunfire in Pryor, a town of just over 600 people in southern Montana. A suspect was arrested hours Fewer animals injured, killed at Cheyenne Frontier Days CHEYENNE (AP) — Organizers say new safety measures are responsible for a drop in animal injuries and deaths at Cheyenne Frontier Days. The Wyoming Tribune Eagle reports two fewer animals died during the festival this year compared to 2014 and veterinarians treated 34 animals for injuries, a reduction of almost 59 percent. Public affairs chairman Bob Budd and CEO Tom Hirsig say the arena for the 10-day festival was set up to reduce risk. Lighter calves with more experience were used in the tie-down roping event as well. “This is the direction we want to go,” Budd said. “We’ve said all along that our highest priority is to reduce or eliminate (injuries and deaths). But our goal is always zero.” Michael Koblisha is an investigator with Showing Animals Respect and Kindness, a group that posted three videos to its website of events that he says should have ended when the calf was injured. “Once that animal is injured, that is when that event should stop,” he said. “They should get the animal treated or euthanize it.” Budd said one of those events should have been stopped. “I think you have to chalk that one up and admit that we made a mistake,” he said. later in Wyoming, FBI spokesman Todd Palmer said. Palmer could not say what led to the shooting and did not release details about the victims or gunman. Bryce Hugs, of Pryor, told The Billings Gazette that his aunt, Tana Shane, drove by a man who had run out of gas just south of town. Shane picked up her husband, Jason, and daughter, Jora, and returned to help, Hugs said. “(He) killed both of them and then shot the daughter,” Hugs told the newspaper. “It grazed her in the head, and when she took off, (he) shot her in the back.” Hugs did not immediately return messages from The Associated Press. A man named Jesus Deniz was apprehended near Meeteetse, Wyoming, and was being held in “investigatory custody for another agency” in the Park County Detention Center, according to the Gazette. Park County sheriff’s spokesman Lance Mathess said his agency has been instructed by the FBI and Bureau of Indian Affairs not to release any information on Deniz. An officer spoke briefly with the wounded person, who was reportedly incoherent when taken to a hospital, Big Horn County Undersheriff Bart Elliott said. “The victim that was transported to the emergency room really doesn’t know what’s going on,” Elliott said. Sheriff’s deputies responded to a 911 call about the shooting, along with officials from the Montana Highway Patrol, FBI and Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks. About 12,000 tribal members live on the Crow reservation. Tribal law enforcement officials referred questions to the Bureau of Indian Affairs’ Office of Justice Services, which declined to comment.

The trial had been postponed several times before. A new date of Nov. 16 was set. Sindelar is accused of shooting and killing 25-year-old Matthew Boyer on Nov. 28, 2013 at Boyer’s home. Boyer was shot once in the abdomen and once in the chest. Boyer’s girlfriend told investigators the men had been in a dispute about rent. Sindelar fled Gillette after the shooting, leading police on a 200mile chase. He was arrested in South Dakota. He faces life in prison without parole if convicted. CASPER (AP) — The mother of an Army soldier arrested on a desertion warrant has pleaded guilty to harboring her son. KTWO-TV reports Dylan Ingle was arrested at his mother’s home in north Casper after she and her boyfriend got into a fight with a man over when he was going to drive Ingle to Billings, Montana. Police say Ingle was hiding in the attic when he partially fell through the ceiling and was taken into custody. The mom’s boyfriend, Darrell Craycraft, has pleaded guilty to two counts of battery related to the fight. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail and a year of probation. Andrea Ingle was sentenced to 10 days in jail and a year of probation for misdemeanors related to the incident.

A federal indictment announced last week threatens him with the same penalties, although you can’t kill a man more than once or lock him up for more than a lifetime. What looks like a redundant prosecution is in fact something worse. It is an unconstitutional attempt to federalize a crime that South Carolina’s courts are perfectly capable of handling on their own, for the sake of sending a message that the criminal law should not be used to send. The New York Times reports that “Justice Department and FBI officials have said the Charleston shooting was Jacob Sullum so horrific and racially motivated that the federal government must address it.” The Times notes that “South Carolina does not have a hate crime law,” adding that “federal officials have said they believe that a murder case alone would leave the racial component of the crime unaddressed.” In other words, by charging Roof with murdering people “because of their actual and perceived race and color,” the Justice Department condemns his benighted beliefs, as well as his appalling actions. The Times notes that the evidence against Roof includes his “racist Internet manifesto,” as well as his anti-black comments as he shot the parishioners at the church. Because Roof already faces the maximum penalty under state law, he can hardly receive extra punishment for his bigotry. But defendants in less serious cases can and do: An assault that might be punished by a year or two in prison under state law can trigger a sentence up to 10 years under the federal hate crime statute if the defendant has a history of writing or saying racist stuff. In fact, the offender in such a case can be punished twice for the same crime, once under state law and again under federal law. And if he happens to be acquitted in state court, he can be tried again in federal court. This sort of serial prosecution looks an awful lot like double jeopardy, which is prohibited by the Fifth Amendment. But according to the Supreme Court, it is merely “dual sovereignty”: The same action is two crimes, one for each government that has jurisdiction. You may wonder where Congress got the authority to federalize a crime based on the nasty opinions expressed by the person who committed it. The provision under which Roof was charged, which applies to cases where the victim was chosen because of his “actual or perceived race, color, religion or national origin,” is supposedly authorized by the 13th Amendment. If you do not understand how the constitutional ban on slavery applies to someone who punches an African-American or a Latino while shouting a racial epithet, or to someone who specializes in mugging Jews because he figures they have a lot of money, you are not alone. As the Cato Institute and the Reason Foundation (my employer) noted in a 2013 Supreme Court brief, the provision cited in Roof ’s federal indictment “does not prohibit slavery or involuntary servitude”; “nor is it a prophylactic measure intended to assist in preventing the return of slavery or involuntary servitude.” The constitutional rationale for another provision of the federal hate crime law, covering crimes in which the victims were selected because of their “gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability,” is even less plausible. All it takes to make a federal case out of such crimes is a weapon “that has traveled in interstate or foreign commerce.” The farcical justifications for the federal hate crime statute are especially troubling because there is no reason to think the offenders it covers would otherwise go unpunished. If the Charleston massacre is exactly the sort of crime the law was meant to address, that just shows how gratuitous the law is. Jacob Sullum is a senior editor at Reason magazine.

Rubes Organ donations help wounded warriors Dear Editor, The recent case of an 8-year-old boy receiving transplanted hands points to the start of a new phase in medical treatment. Both his hands and feet had been amputated earlier in his life due to an infection. In his case, it was not that the surgery couldn’t be done, but it was because they could not find a donor. During a commencement speech at the University of Idaho three years ago, the comman- dant of the Marine Corps mentioned that this same type of limb replacement surgery will move to the forefront of medical treatment for our wounded warriors who I am sure are suffering both physically and physiologically from this type of injury. Due to recent hand surgery, which left me with very little use of my left hand, I found it difficult to perform the most menial task such as putting on socks or other clothing. Try tying your shoes with only one hand and you will see what I mean. Our wounded warriors deserve this type of medical treatment and the treatment should be done at the total expense of the government. I would encourage anyone who hasn’t, to sign up to become an organ donor and help restore mobility to our very precious wounded warriors who sacrificed their bodies to protect our freedom. Terry Rehak, Worland Not all Christians desire war; some like diplomacy Dear Editor: In response to the recent guest column about the Iran nuclear agreement, I must ask why is it that those wishing to bomb other countries assume that those not desiring war are not Christian? My understanding of Jesus Christ is that he lived and preached peace, not war. Scientists who negotiate nuclear treaties use the term “break-out times.” Here is what that means: If a country decides overnight to manufacture a nuclear weapon as quickly as possible (that is, “break out” from any agreements not to build nuclear weapons), how fast could that goal be accomplished? The current situation in Iran puts that break-out time at two to three months. Once the agreement we have made is fully implemented, that break- out time will be extended to one year. Iran is committing to giving up 70 percent of their gas centrifuges including all their modern ones, their plutonium and plutonium reactor core, and most of their enriched uranium. These are significant concessions and do not represent a “surrender” by the United States, the current Big Lie talking point promulgated by the right. The key to this agreement is verification. Granddaddy used to say, “When you’re playing poker, trust everyone but always cut the cards.” Iran will not be able to manufacture nuclear weapons without detection under this agreement, and the penalty for trying to do so will be the immediate reinstitution of the crippling sanctions which originally motivated Iran to begin negotiations. Tom Cotton (R) Oklahoma has previously distinguished himself by writing to the chief Ayatollah in Iran (America’s sworn enemy) to say that America under Republicans would not live up to its commitments. If a Democratic senator had done this to a Republican president, he would have been pilloried as a traitor and rightly so. Finally, I remember the lies about Iraq’s (non-existent) nuclear program 13 years ago, which were used to trick the American people into an unjust war to steal Iraq’s oil. We haven’t the right bomb countries just because we don’t like their policies. History teaches that evil actions have evil consequences. Robert D.

Northern Wyoming Daily News, Worland, Wyo., Thursday, July 30, 2015—5 Controversy between mother and daughter Washakie County Fair Cat Show Does supporting gay marriage make you gay? Annie’s Mailbox Kathy Mitchell and Mary Sugar Dear Annie: Yesterday, I had an argument with my 85-year-old mother. She said I must be a lesbian because of my recent Facebook posts in support of all my gay friends and the Supreme Court decision upholding gay marriage. Specifically, I changed my photo so it was colored in beautiful rainbow shades. My mother was appalled that I was supporting “those people” and demanded that I change my picture. She said she was embarrassed and claimed that all of her friends were calling her to ask whether I was gay. This was a lie and she admitted it. Then she said she does not support gay people and I should support them in more private ways. I told her I am 50 years old, not 10, and these are my choices. If she doesn’t like it, she doesn’t have to look at my Facebook page. I have never felt comfortable having my mother as a friend on Facebook. I want to un-friend her, but I’d feel guilty. She has always been this way, and frankly, I’m fed up. She has other friends and family on Facebook, so it’s not as though she’ll be out of the loop. What do you say? — New York Dear New York: There are kinder ways to deal with this rather than un-friending your 85-year-old mother.

Dear Annie: I’d like to respond to “Not Buying Narcolepsy,” who complained that her husband sleeps constantly. Many people associate narcolepsy with the way it appears on TV sitcoms, where people fall asleep midsentence. But the most common form of narcolepsy is excessive daytime sleepiness. A year ago, I could not sit down without falling asleep. I woke up sleepy and probably could have slept 12 hours a day and still manage to fall asleep in my chair. Narcolepsy can be diagnosed by sleep studies and blood work. Since my diagnosis by a neurologist and finding the right medication, I have my life back. Perhaps “Not Buying” should sit down with her husband and fill out the Epworth Sleepiness Scale as a way to begin a discussion of the medical reasons behind his need for such great amounts of sleep. It’s available through the Narcolepsy Network (narcolepsynetwork.org). I hope this helps. — Wide Awake Dear Wide Awake: Thank you for the excellent resource. Narcolepsy isn’t simply about insufficient sleep. It’s a neurological disorder affecting the way the body regulates sleepwake cycles. Information on narcolepsy is also available through the National Sleep Foundation (sleepfoundation.org). Anyone who is having problems staying awake should also speak to his or her physician and, if necessary, ask for a referral to a sleep clinic.

Northern Wyoming Daily News, Worland, Wyo., Thursday, July 30, 2015—7 Chiefs safety Eric Berry back at practice after cancer ght ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) — There was a moment in the early stages of chemotherapy when Eric Berry was having breakfast with his father, and the enormity of what faced him was so great that he broke down and cried. For 30 minutes, one of the toughest players on the Kansas City Chiefs wept. Then, he resolved to beat cancer. Eight months later, Berry walked triumphantly onto the practice fields at Missouri Western State University, joining rookies and select veterans Wednesday for the start of training camp. Six merciless rounds of draining, debilitating drugs had rid his body of Hodgkin’s lymphoma, but they had also stoked the passion that Berry still harbors for the game. “It’s been a roller coaster,” he said, “but I wouldn’t change it for the world.” Flanked by his father, James, and his mother, Carol, Berry spoke publicly for the first time since he was diagnosed with cancer last December. He recalled the terror that gripped him when the mass was first found in his chest, and the dark days that immediately followed. The days he didn’t want to get out of bed. The days he struggled to choke down food, all of it tasteless. The seemingly endless trips to the hospital for each round of treatment. “In the beginning it was hard, it really was,” James Berry said. “Those possibilities go through your mind — ‘What if he can’t play again?’ You think of those types of things, but then you kick those to the side. And when you looked at Eric you said, ‘This guy is a fighter.’” Such a fighter that he chose to receive treatment through an IV rather than a PICC line, a semipermanent catheter that would have prevented him from training. the trenches with me, day in and day out, making sure I had everything I needed.” The Chiefs are cautiously optimistic Berry will be ready for the regular season, and such a rapid return would not be without precedent: Reid said they looked at case studies involving other athletes, such as Mario Lemieux, in deciding how to proceed. The Hall of Fame hockey player was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 1993, went through a similar course of treatment and returned to finish his career with the Pittsburgh Penguins. There is plenty of work ahead for Berry. But on a warm, humid morning in northwest Missouri, as he trotted out of the locker room, he had already surpassed nearly all expectations. “At the beginning, you kind of put football aside. Your mind goes to, ‘Hey, we’re hoping and praying he can be healthy and live a good life,’” Reid said. “Anything else is icing on the cake.” PUBLIC NOTICE IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF WASHAKIE COUNTY, WYOMING FIFTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT IN THE MATTER OF THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE REAL PROPERTY OF JAMES E. DAVIS, Decedent. ) ) ) ) Probate No. #14-0024 NOTICE OF APPLICATION FOR DISTRIBUTION OF REAL PROPERTY Eric Berry Between each round of chemo, Berry would squeeze in 10 to 12 workouts, sometimes struggling just to do five push-ups. But he never lost sight of an audacious goal: Be back with the Chiefs by the time their season opens Sept. 13 in Houston. “Everybody wants you to be strong in this situation,” Berry said, “but you can’t be strong every day. If you want to be mad today, be mad. If you want to be sad, be sad. But the thing is, don’t stay that way. Get it out of your system and go back to work.” Berry passed a battery of tests before he was cleared to practice late Tuesday, but it remains unclear when he’ll fully participate in practice. Chiefs trainer Rick Burkholder said Berry will be monitored constantly, especially during the early portion of camp. Veterans report Friday. The first full-squad workout is Saturday. “One of the things Eric and I talked about was just being hon- est with us about how you’re feeling out here,” coach Andy Reid said, “and sometimes that’s hard for a player to do, especially with his makeup. He’s been great with that up to this point and I think that will continue through.” After all, he’s in a much better place than he was eight months ago. The three-time Pro Bowler first knew something was amiss in November, when he felt oddly out of breath after a couple of games. When things got worse during a game against Oakland, Berry was put through a series of tests that revealed a mass in his chest. The diagnosis was Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a treatable form of cancer that affects about 9,000 people in the U.S. each year. His treatment began Dec. 10 at Emory University’s Winship Cancer Institute, near his home in Atlanta. And it wasn’t easy: “It literally feels like you’re dying,” Berry recalled, “but you’re not really battling chemo, you’re battling yourself the whole time. It was me versus me.” The final round of treatment was May 13, followed by a month of recovery. “He tolerated chemotherapy extremely well,” said Dr. Christopher R. Flowers, who directs the cancer institute’s lymphoma program. “He achieved a complete response to treatment.” On June 22, a follow-up PET scan showed Berry was cancerfree. The Chiefs had just finished their mandatory minicamp, so he headed to Florida, where he trained with teammates. Then last week, Berry headed back to Kansas City for another round of testing to make sure he was in football condition. “It was a battle, every day, to the point where I had to set goals to get out of bed,” he said. “But I had a great support system, between my mom and dad being in Adrian Peterson back in pads, moving forward with Vikings MANKATO, Minn. (AP) — Adrian Peterson burst through the line of scrimmage and veered toward the sideline as he headed up the field. Safety Robert Blanton had the Minnesota Vikings running back in his sights and eased off the throttle as he went in to “thud” Peterson, looking to deliver a cordial bump during the team’s first training camp practice with players in pads. To Blanton’s surprise, Peterson lowered his shoulder and delivered a jolt to the fourth-year defensive back. Most veterans dread the early days of camp and the first few hits that open the door to six months filled with jarring blows, aches and pains. Not Peterson. He hadn’t felt the pop of the pads for more than 10 months, an exile brought on by child abuse allegations against him. With the case settled, his punishment over, his contract situation resolved and fans welcoming him back to the field, Peterson couldn’t help but be a little eager to finally get back to the business of football. “I’ve been looking forward to it for a long time,” said Peterson, who missed the final 15 games of last season. “It was good to get the first day down. I feel comfortable. I didn’t feel sluggish or weighed down because of the pads. I felt pretty good.” Vikings owner Mark Wilf said he was only too happy to see Peterson back on the field with a smile on his face after so much drama surrounding the team and its star player. “Obviously he’s a unique talent and a good person,” Wilf said. “We’re happy he’s here playing for us. We can’t wait for the season to get going here.” There were times in the offseason that it appeared like Peterson could be parting ways with the only NFL franchise for which he has played. A perceived lack of support from some in the organization, and the criticism that was heaped upon him by many fans and media when the allegations first surfaced, had Peterson thinking that it was time to move on. But he was still under contract and the Vikings refused to entertain the idea of trading a player they believe can resume his role as the focal point of the offense, even as he passes the 30-year-old milestone that has spelled the beginning of the end for so many running backs before him. As a show of faith, the Vikings also restructured Peterson’s contract to guarantee him $7 million next season in case of injury. It was the last in a series of efforts by the organization to smooth things over heading into a season with high expectations. “He’s had a long history here with the Vikings and the community,” Wilf said. “We know what kind of person he is. That’s all in the rearview mirror as far as some of that stuff goes and we’re looking forward to him being a big part of our team going forward.” While Peterson occasionally had doubts about the support he had in the front office, his confidence in his teammates never wavered. Throughout the last 10 months, not one Vikings player has gone on the record to express any reservations about Peterson, which has allowed him to step right back into a leadership role on the team. “I don’t think it ever left,” Peterson said about his status in the locker room. “That’s the thing about the family I’m surrounded by. These guys, they’ve been supporting me. Such an unfortunate situation. “But when it’s family and they know you,” he said, looking at a throng of media surrounding him, “some of you guys, I don’t know you so I wouldn’t pass judgment based off what I’ve heard or what I’ve seen if I didn’t know what type of person you are. “That’s just the type of world we live in. These guys, they know me. They know what I’m made of.” American Pharoah arrives at Monmouth for Sunday’s Haskell OCEANPORT, N.J. (AP) — Triple Crown winner American Pharoah received star treatment as he arrived to prepare for the $1.75 million Haskell Invitational on Sunday at Monmouth Park. After landing at Atlantic City airport, racing’s biggest attraction was led off the plane, then escorted by New Jersey State troopers for the final leg of the journey. The van he was loaded into was decked out like Taylor Swift’s tour bus with his name splashed across the side. A cluster of reporters awaited him when the van pulled into the Monmouth barn area shortly after 4 p.m. As usual, American Pharoah was cool and collected, even on a blazingly hot afternoon on the Jersey Shore. He calmly stepped off the van, took two short turns outside the barn where he will reside through the race before heading into the shade for a bath and a nap. It was the end of a long day that started at 1:30 a.m. at trainer Bob Baffert’s barn at Del Mar where the colt was loaded onto a van for the trip to the airport in Ontario, California for the flight east. The plane made one stop in Kentucky before continuing to New Jersey. “It’s a long trip,” said Jimmy Barnes, Baffert’s assistant who accompanied American Pharoah. “The trip went very smooth. He’s a professional. He always ships good. He makes it so easy for all of us. That’s what makes him so unique.” The appearance by American Pharoah in the Haskell is the most eagerly anticipated stakes in the New Jersey racing history. Monmouth sweetened the purse by $750,000 earlier Wednesday for the 1 1/8-mile race for 3-year-olds. The purse has been $1 million since 1997, but increases were made when champions Point Given in 2001 and Rachel Alexandra in 2009 appeared in the race. A record crowd nearing 60,000 is expected for the Haskell. American Pharoah swept the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes to become the first Triple Crown winner in 37 years. This will be his first race since the Belmont in early June. American Pharoah completed his major training in California. His final timed workout was a half mile in 48.80 seconds Tuesday morning at Del Mar. The colt with the short tail will have easy gallops here on the three mornings leading up to race day. “It feels good coming here this strong,” Barnes said. “We’ve always come strong in the past, but this year we are really strong.” 7TQNQIKECN 5GTXKEGU VM5VY[OLYU>`VTPUN We offer ... » State-of-the-art kidney stone treatment.

A modest rebound in Chinese stocks also helped push the market higher. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 121.12 points, or 0.7 percent, to 17,751.39. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 15.32 points, or 0.7 percent, to 2,108.57 and the Nasdaq composite rose 22.53 points, or 0.4 percent, to 5,111.73. The Fed said the U.S. economy continues to improve in numerous aspects, but signaled that it wants to see further economic gains and higher inflation before raising rates. Many investors expect the Fed will still lift rates in September or December, but its statement gave no timing for the raise. Low interest rates have been good for stock investors, helping fuel a bull market that has lasted more than six years. “Yeah, the economy is improving, but they are not really saying that the economy is taking off here,” said Tom di Galoma, head of rates trading at ED&F Man Capital. “If the Fed doesn’t raise rates in September, I think we’re looking at some time mid next year.” There are several reasons why the Fed could stand pat on interest rates, from the recent distress in China’s stock market to the falling prices of commodities this year, which will help keep a lid on inflation. Bond investors seemed to agree with the idea that the Fed was in no rush to raise rates. Bonds rose, pushing the benchmark 10-year Treasury note traded at a yield of 2.27 compared with the nearly 2.30 percent before the Fed statement. Investors had a second day of relative calm in the Chinese stock market. China’s Shanghai Composite Index rebounded 3.4 percent to close at 3,969.40 after flitting between gains and losses for most of the day. Alarm over the sharp fall in Chinese shares has abated somewhat as the Shanghai index has steadied following Monday’s 8.5 percent dive. A strong batch of corporate earnings also helped lift the market. Gilead Sciences rose $2.64, or 2.3 percent, to $115.71. The company’s profits jumped 23 percent from a year ago, helped by its new blockbuster hepatitis C medicine Harvoni. The company also raised its 2015 forecasts. Northrop Grumman led defense companies higher after it posted a stronger-than-expected profit in the second quarter and raised its outlook for the year. Northrop’s stock jumped $10.10, or 6.2 percent, to $173.44, its biggest one-day gain in at least five years. The euro fell to $1.0989 from $1.1068. The dollar rose to 123.94 Japanese yen from 123.57 yen. Precious and industrial metals futures ended mixed. Gold fell $3.60 to $1,092.60 an ounce, silver rose 10 cents to $14.73 an ounce and copper edged up less than a penny to $2.41 a pound. OIL PRICES — In other markets, the price of U.S. crude rose Wednesday after the government reported a surprise drop in oil inventories and oil production. Benchmark U.S. crude rose 81 cents to close at $48.79 a barrel in New York. Brent crude, a benchmark for international oils used by many U.S. refineries, rose 8 cents to close at $53.38 in London. In other futures trading on the NYMEX, wholesale gasoline rose 1.9 cents to close at $1.822 a gallon. Heating oil fell 0.6 cent to close at $1.598 a gallon. Natural gas rose 6.5 cents to close at $2.886 per 1,000 cubic feet. BOARD OF TRADE — CHICAGO (AP) — Grain futures were lower Wednesday on the Chicago Board of Trade. Wheat for September delivery declined 14.50 cents to $4.9625 a bushel; December fell rose 7.25 cents at 3.7825 a bushel; December oats lost 2 cents at 2.40 a bushel; while November were off 1.50 cents to $9.4325 a bushel. Beef was mixed and pork was higher on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. October live cattle was off .33 cent to $1.4647 a pound; August feeder cattle was .22 cent higher to $2.1147 a pound; while October lean hogs rose 1.02 cents to $.6607 a pound.

Police records show 54-year-old Robert Ritter was accused of stealing a pack of underwear and a package of T-shirts on July 9 from a supermarket in Brooklawn, New Jersey. Authorities say he also shoved a security officer. He also faces stalking charges in Gloucester Township, New Jersey. Ritter had two warrants out for his arrest, and police spotted his van Monday night. Ritter drove into Philadelphia, back into New Jersey, and then back into Philadelphia.

(AP) — A trapped, hungry, wet and scared cat is now safe after it was found tucked away in a boat that had sank to the bottom of Lake Havasu. Today’s News-Herald reports the brown-and-black American shorthair breed was found when the boat was brought ashore by Dive Time Recovery owner John Zucalla. It’s unclear who the cat belongs to, if anyone, and Western Arizona Humane Society workers named the cat River. Zucalla says River had been in the water for at least an hour and was alive, though frightened, when she was spotted in a front storage compartment. He said the cat must have stowed away sometime before boat owner Genaro Rudaldava left Orange County, California. Rudaldava said River wasn’t his cat.

(AP) — “Have you found Jesus?” That’s what employees at a Rhode Island soup kitchen are asking after a religious statue disappeared from the kitchen’s garden. Pawtucket Soup Kitchen Director Adrienne Marchetti says on Wednesday that she last saw the statue, which depicts Joseph carrying the baby Jesus, on July 20. Marchetti says the kitchen staff will take back the statue, no questions asked, and even offer a free meal to the person who returns it. Marchetti says the 3-foot statue is made of plaster or a similar material and is not valuable. She says the statue inspires the volunteers at the kitchen and brings “good mojo” to the garden where it has sat for 6 years. Marchetti says it’s possible someone took it to repair Joseph’s head, which was coming loose.
