In addition to hightech classrooms, a herbarium, a greenhouse and a soils and agroecology lab, the new center will include a computerized commodities trading floor classroom to support students studying in the ag-business program. “The real benefit to laying out a plan like this is that the dollars committed can be leveraged time and time again,” Whitney Benefits Trustee Everett McGlothlin said. “We are hopeful that others will continue to support the students of Sheridan College in order to continue the positive momentum and help change lives.” The $6 million earmarked for the expansion and renovation of the Technical Education Center is approximately half of the total needed to provide a healthier, safer and more secure facility for students to gain FROM 1 vocational degrees and employable skills. College officials plan to request the additional funds from the State of Wyoming during the 2016 legislative session. “Our strategic direction focuses on doing our part to help Wyoming and the nation as a whole to prosper. We are so very fortunate to have many, many people here who believe in this goal and are willing to take action on behalf of the future generations who will continue to benefit from their efforts for years to come,” Young said. “Thank you to Whitney Benefits.” The next steps for the Mars Agriculture Center and Whitney Center for the Arts projects include selecting architects and construction managers, which college officials hope to have completed by early fall. The design phases will likely last through this fall, with a ground breaking as early in spring 2015 as weather will allow. Sheridan College officials hope to have the projects completed by late summer of 2016. Portion of Whitney Benefits funding to go toward Tech Center expansion FROM STAFF REPORTS SHERIDAN — Included in the new gift to Sheridan College from Whitney Benefits is a commitment of $6 million to go toward renovation and expansion of the college’s Technical Education Center. The current facility was built in 1977 and is in need of upgrades and repairs, SC officials said. Planned expansion has been a priority on the College’s master plan for several years and would create new space that would potentially quadruple enrollment in the Welding Technology, Diesel Technology, Construction Technology and Machine Tool Technology programs. “If our goal is to accept more students into high-demand programs that lead to good, high-paying jobs, then we have to address the need for additional, safe learning space,” said Kati Sherwood, Northern Wyoming Community College District Board chair. The college asked voters from Sheridan County in August 2013 to support a general obligation bond for $15.8 million to pay for the project, but the vote did not pass. Matching an earlier gift of $500,000 from Whitney Benefits with contributions from private individuals who have pledged another $500,000, the College has been able to start on $1 million of immediate improvements to the aging facility. Those improvements, which are already underway, will include a 2,500 square foot addition and 5,000 sq. ft. renovation to the Machine Tool Technology space and a 1,200 square foot addition and 7,000 square foot renovation to the Diesel Technology, Welding Technology and Construction Technology areas. “This important first phase of the Tech Center project will really help us move forward,” Sheridan College President Dr. Paul Young said. “The College hopes to use the $6 million gift from Whitney as a match for a planned request of $6.5 million from the state of Wyoming in the 2016 legislative session.” KINSKEY: Plans for smooth transition Lee said after the vote that he was confident in the decision. “First and foremost, congratulations to Kinskey said he has already been researching the state budget and is looking Dave Kinskey.

Fire managers said Tuesday they have ordered two heavy air tankers and three helicopters. Forty firefighters were on the scene. The blaze had burned about 300 acres or about one-half square mile by Tuesday morning. No figures were available on progress toward containing the fire. The nearby Lake Owen Campground was evacuated Monday, and residents along Fox Creek Road were advised to be prepared to leave. The Red Cross has opened a shelter at the Harmony School in Laramie. The fire began at noon on Monday. The cause hasn’t been released. No injuries or damaged structures have been reported. development under the Clean Water Act. Tyrrell says the EPA drafted the rule without states’ input. He also says proposal is long and complicated and worries that disputes would have to be settled case-by-case, creating more work for the State Engineer’s Office. Wyoming Republican Sen. John Barrasso asked the Senate last week to block the rule, saying it would have a significant effect on farmers and ranchers. counties. June 26 was Castano’s last day as a magistrate in the Court Supervised Treatment Program in Albany County. The program brings intervention and treatment services into the courtroom as well as the judge and law enforcement officers. It’s designed to give defendants guidance to get out of trouble and back on track. Castano said that requires candor from the Oil train issues left up to local Wyoming agencies CASPER (AP) — Amid widespread concern over crude oil shipments by rail, the task of addressing safety issues in Wyoming has been mostly left up to local governments. The Casper Star-Tribune reported Monday the Wyoming Office of Homeland Security doesn’t track crude oil shipments except for large movements from the Bakken formation in North Dakota. Bakken crude is considered more volatile that many other types. The U.S. Department of Transportation requires railroads to notify state officials of shipments of more than 1 million gallons. State homeland security officials say they haven’t been notified of any of Bakken shipments since the federal requirement was put in place. Wyoming has no state agency for railroads. The state Transportation Department is working on a plan with the Wyoming Business Council to track rail traffic. Speeding, drinking suspected in fatal Powell crash CODY (AP) — Speeding and alcohol use are believed to have contributed to a crash that killed a 25-year-old man and injured his three passengers in Powell. The Park County Sheriff ’s Office says Matthew Joseph McNamara of Cody died after he lost control on a curve on Sunday, swerved into the oncoming lane and then over-corrected and rolled off the road. One of his passengers, 23-year-old Sean Michael Roberts, told investigators that they were driving at 55 mph at the time of the crash, which investigators say was too fast for the area. Roberts and 21-year-old Elizabeth Gurrola were flown to St. Vincent Hospital in Billings, Montana after the crash. A third passenger, 24-year-old Joe Fred Walker, was treated and released from Powell Valley Hospital. The passengers are all from Powell. Wyoming state engineer: New EPA rule confusing CASPER (AP) — Wyoming State Engineer Pat Tyrrell says the federal Environmental Protection Agency’s new proposed rule on what waters are under EPA jurisdiction is confusing. The Casper Star-Tribune reported Monday Tyrrell is unsure of the distinction between groundwater, which isn’t under EPA jurisdiction, and shallow subsurface water, which is. The proposed rule was issued in March to clarify which waters are barred from and businesses and eventually splitting a house in two. The Jackson Hole News & Guide reported Monday options include building buttresses to hold the hillside in place or relocating a road that climbs the hillside. Estimates for building buttresses range from $8 million to $10 million. That would include removing the damaged house. Building a new road up is estimated to cost $5 million to $7 million. The Town Council were scheduled to meet Monday night to discuss the issue. The slide is 450 feet wide and up to 140 feet deep. Crews slowed it by piling 8,000 tons of rock along part of the base.

Jackson looks at ways to stabilize sliding hill JACKSON (AP) — Jackson officials are considering ways to stabilize a hillside that began sliding in April, threatening homes CASPER (AP) — State economists are predicting a continuation of moderate growth in Wyoming in the months ahead. The Casper Star-Tribune reports the state is experiencing a boost from job growth in service industries and continued development in the oil and gas industries. State economist Jim Robinson points to the modest rebound in natural gas prices and the increased number of oil and gas drilling permit applications as a jobs creator. Wyoming’s oil and gas industry currently provides 17,100 jobs, 400 more jobs than in May 2013. That’s according to the June 2014 Wyoming Insight report. Personal income in the state increased 3.5 percent, keeping up with the national average.

Heavy rain, hail hit Colorado DENVER (AP) — A storm packing large hail, wind and heavy rain rolled through parts of Colorado on Monday evening. The storm brought an end to triple-digit temperatures but caused isolated flooding and power outages. KUSA-TV reports that there were also reports of downed trees. National Weather Service meteorologist Jim Kalina says the hardest hit area was Arvada, where there were reports of golf ball-sized hail and 70 mph winds. Kalina says in Byers, east of Denver, there were 3 inches of hail on the ground. The weather service also issued flash-flood warnings in Arapahoe and Elbert counties. The storm started in northern Colorado in Larimer County, moved through Boulder County, and then the Denver area. It followed a day with a high of 100 degrees, which Kalina says was the hottest temperature of the year. SHERIDAN — City Council kept its Sheridan WYO Rodeo week meeting short to give council members more time to enjoy family and festivities. The meeting began at 7 p.m. Monday and adjourned within five minutes. All business was taken care of with approval of the consent agenda. In order to avoid a conflict of interest, Councilman Jesus Rios abstained from giving his vote of approval to a $4.99 payment to Ptolemy Data Systems for contractual services that was included in the claims list on the consent agenda. The council first voted to amend the consent agenda to remove one item — an award of the Wyoming Avenue/Park Street area reconstruction phase three project to North Star of Gillette in the amount of $2,560,563.09. The project was set to be funded with a combination of water and sewer, Optional One-Cent Sales Tax, Capital Facilities Tax, mineral royalty grant and DWSRF Loan/Grant funds. Included in the consent agenda was an item that City Utilities Division Manager Dan Roberts said should make area gardeners happy. The council approved the purchase of a used Ag Bag Machine for $153,750. Roberts said the Ag Bag Machine will allow the landfill to improve its composting operations with an in-vessel system that will provide consistent, high quality compost in 90 to 120 days, start to finish. The system utilizes ventilation tubes that run down the center of each bag to provide oxygen inside the vessel for the compost. It will allow the landfill staff to reintroduce biosolids into composting operations, which will improve the quality of the compost while also cutting down on the smell at the landfill, Roberts said. The Ag Bag is also expected to allow staff to introduce other compostable materials into the compost and to reduce required labor and equipment time associated with the current wind row, out-of-vessel composting system. Once electrical infrastructure is installed, the city will begin its first batch of Ag Bag Machine compost. The first batch is expected by the fall, and by spring, landfill staff should be able to turn over compost each week that is rich in nitrogen and good for area gardens, Roberts said. Another item approved on the consent agenda was a water agreement with Holly Seed. The agreement will allow Holly Seed to use 1,775,000 gallons of treated city water per year at its West Fifth Street property in exchange for giving the city access to 11.8 acre feet of water rights held by Holly Seed in Dome Lake Reservoir. Due to development in the Cloud Peak Ranch subdivision, Holly Seed lost access to its Dome Lake water that was diverted to them through the Alliance Lateral ditch. However, Roberts said, the city can access the water through Big Goose Creek. The city will be allowed to use 100 percent of Holly Seed’s Dome Lake Reservoir shares for irrigation or to sell to customers, while Holly Seeds will receive 49 percent of its shares since the city is treating the water. “We see it as a win-win, for sure,” Roberts said.

It will be an enormous help to the Nicaraguan people and for the world in general, because world trade will require it, we are sure of this.” — Chinese businessman Wang Jing whose company, HKND, is cooperating with the government of Nicaragua on a 173-mile canal that would rival the Panama Canal. “The greater good here is that her appearance really goes to show that everyone gets called.” — New York state court system spokesman David Bookstaver on Madonna, who turned up for jury duty Monday in Manhattan and was dismissed. “Before God and his people, I express my sorrow for the sins and grave crimes of clerical sexual abuse committed against you.

One of the best words ever. Stephen Woody One of the best breakfasts — pie and coffee. A particular, maybe peculiar, nod to southern heritage. Life is just simply better after a good piece of pie. There’s more clarity in thought, the spirit is lifted. Pie is therapeutic. The new Cowboy Café, which opened just last week on Main Street in Historic Downtown Sheridan, has some mighty fine pie. Fresh pie. Lots of varieties, too, printed daily on a chalkboard. One day last week, Phil Ashley, The Sheridan Press’ marketing director, and I had a wedge of pie. Phil went with apple; I went the more exotic route — blueberry almond crunch. Bottomless cup of coffee, too. A full house that morning in the new place. A good sign. The owners are Robert & Severine Murdoch. They also have a similarly named place over in Dubois. It, too, is an ideal spot to stop for a minute and break up the trip to Jackson with some more pie. Congratulations! •••••• Last month, Bill Baas shot his age, the holy grail of both professional and amateur golf, at the Powder Horn. He carded an even-par 72. He had recently celebrated a birthday, turning 73. It was Baas’ first time at shooting his age, though he had been close before. He joins a short list at the Powder Horn. Its founder, Homer “Scotty” Scott, accomplished the feat in 2011 with a 73. Dave Latini did it with a 75 in 2012. Ken Richardson, too, with a 72 in 2012. In last week’s Sports Illustrated, columnist Steve Rushin had an excellent piece about Hall of Fame pitcher Jim Kaat, 75. Kaat plays against himself with two sets of clubs, one righty, one lefty. Kaat won 283 games in the major leagues from 1959 to 1983 with five teams and is often considered the best fielding pitcher ever. (For some odd reason, he’s not in the Hall of Fame.) He’s also an Emmy-winning broadcaster for the MLB Network. Lefthanded, Kaat is a seven handicap. On the right side, he’s a 10. He shot his age as a lefthander at 70 in 2009; most recently, he shot his age as a righty, 75. Rushin notes how Kaat has shot his age as a lefty five times. For those stuck on playing just one side of the ball, it’s almost impossible to imagine hitting from both sides. Jim Benepe of Sheridan, a threetime professional tour champion as most hereabouts know, won those tournaments in the 1980s righthanded. These days, in league play at the Powder Horn, he plays from the left side. It boggles. As does shooting one’s age. Congrats! •••••• Quotable “Skip a par three.” — Ben Hogan, to Bob Hope, after Hope asked Hogan how he could take five shots off his game. THE SHERIDAN Press Stephen Woody Publisher Kristen Czaban Managing Editor Phillip Ashley Marketing Director Becky Martini Office Manager Mark Blumenshine Production Manager Obama’s ‘imperial presidency’ doesn’t rule anything On either end of Lafayette Square on Monday, you could observe the receding power of the Obama presidency. On the north side, across from the White House, stands St. John’s Episcopal Church, “the Church of the Presidents,” where every president since James Madison has worshiped. But there was no sanctuary for President Obama at St. John’s on Monday; it was hosting a protest against him. More than 100 Latinos — a constituency that has been a reliable part of Obama’s political base — stood on the church steps as speakers denounced Obama’s pledge to hasten deportations of children illegally crossing the southern border. Addressing the participants, many of whom held signs saying “President Obama: STOP!!,” immigration advocate Gustavo Torres charged that “the president has failed to act with the urgency and competence that is required.” At that very moment on the other side of the square, the White House was acting with urgency on Obama’s latest executive action, the “Excellent Educators for All” initiative. Eight hundred feet from the church protest, Education Secretary Arne Duncan was in the White House briefing room, talking about “differential compensation,” “systemic inequities” and the administration’s plans to spend $4.2 million on a new “educator equity support network.” Duncan said the administration would prefer to act with Congress rather than use executive authority, “but we just can’t continue to wait.” Certainly, the matter of teacher quality for poor kids is important, but Duncan and his administration colleagues are in for a semester at the school of hard knocks if they think a $4.2 million initiative (that’s about 0.0001 percent of the federal budget) will get attention when there’s a crisis on the border, a crisis in Iraq and Syria, and DROP US A LINE | The Sheridan Press welcomes letters to the editor.

Indeed, the first question for Duncan on Monday wasn’t about his new initiative but about the National Education Association’s call over the weekend for Duncan’s resignation after several policy disagreements. Duncan said he doesn’t get DANA involved in “local union MILBANK politics.” | Local? The NEA is the nation’s largest teachers union and a key component of Obama’s political base — just like the Latino activists protesting across the square. This is why the oft-leveled accusation that Obama is running an “imperial presidency” is a bit silly. As imperial rulers go, this president has about as much oppressive might and raw dictatorial clout as Prince Hans-Adam II of Liechtenstein. Republicans have never respected Obama’s authority. And now, as his popularity slips, he seems to be losing his ability to influence foreign allies, congressional Democrats and some of his previously loyal supporters. Both the puny executive action and the criticism from erstwhile allies on Monday showed why the Obama presidency these days is falling a good bit short of imperial on the Alexander the Great scale. Education was the White House’s message du jour — lunch with teachers on the South Lawn was the only item on Obama’s publicly released schedule other than his intelligence briefing — but it didn’t have a chance of wresting the national narrative away from less pleasant affairs. On Tuesday, Obama plans to ask Congress for additional funds to process child immigrants. But then he’s going on a fundraising trip to Colorado and Texas that, his spokesman confirmed Monday, doesn’t include a stop at the border. This could put Obama further on the defensive by inviting the sort of criticism that followed George W. Bush’s Hurricane Katrina flyover. In recent days, Obama has spoken in scattershot fashion about education, jobs, the Highway Trust Fund, immigration legislation and Republicans’ threat to sue him for his supposedly monarchical behavior. But his success in shaping the agenda has been negligible. He has been at the mercy of events, reacting to matters not of his choosing and taking executive actions that, for all the criticism, don’t have the permanence or reach of legislation. Following Duncan’s visit to the briefing room, new White House press secretary Josh Earnest had the unpleasant task of responding to all the other problems generated by supposed friends. Ed Henry of Fox News inquired about Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Tex.), who on Sunday called the administration “one step behind” on the border crisis. The Associated Press’s Julie Pace asked about Germany’s complaint that one of its intelligence operatives was allegedly a U.S. double agent. And Mark Landler of the New York Times asked why Iraqi leaders seem to be “brushing aside” the administration’s pleas to form a new government. To that last question, Earnest said he had “been pretty candid, I think, over the last couple of weeks, in articulating our disappointment.” Articulating disappointment! Does the arrogance of this imperial presidency know no bounds?

(Price of a copy: two cents.) On this date: In 1663, King Charles II of England granted a Royal Charter to Rhode Island. In 1776, Col. John Nixon gave the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence, outside the State House (now Independence Hall) in Philadelphia. In 1853, an expedition led by Commodore Matthew Perry arrived in Yedo Bay, Japan, on a mission to seek diplomatic and trade relations with the Japanese. In 1907, Florenz Ziegfeld staged his first “Follies,” on the roof of the New York Theater. In 1914, jazz singer and bandleader Billy Eckstine was born in Pittsburgh. In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson received a tumultuous welcome in New York City after his return from the Versailles Peace Conference in France. In 1947, demolition work began in New York City to make way for the new permanent headquarters of the United Nations. In 1950, President Harry S. Truman named Gen. Douglas MacArthur commander-in-chief of United Nations forces in Korea. In 1962, just after midnight local time, Alitalia Flight 771, a DC-8, crashed as it was approaching Bombay (Mumbai), India, killing all 94 people on board. In 1972, the Nixon administration announced a deal to sell $750 million in grain to the Soviet Union. (However, the Soviets were also engaged in secretly buying subsidized American grain, resulting in what critics dubbed “The Great Grain Robbery.”) In 1989, Carlos Saul Menem was inaugurated as president of Argentina in the country’s first transfer of power from one democratically elected civilian leader to another in six decades. In 1994, Kim Il Sung, North Korea’s communist leader since 1948, died at age 82. Ten years ago: Adelphia Communications Corp. founder John Rigas and his son Timothy were convicted in New York of looting the cable company and deceiving investors. (John Rigas was sentenced to 12 years in prison; Timothy Rigas, 17.) A Swedish appeals court threw out a life prison sentence for the convicted killer of Foreign Minister Anna Lindh, ruling that Mijailo Mijailovic should receive treatment for his “significant psychiatric problems.” Thought for Today: “For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson, American essayist, poet and philosopher (1803-1882).

A8 THE SHERIDAN PRESS www.thesheridanpress.com TUESDAY, JULY 8, 2014 Brewer’s immigrant TEEPEE: Powwow set for Friday after rodeo parade driver’s license policy blocked FROM 1 PHOENIX (AP) — Reyna Montoya is one of nearly 19,000 young immigrants in Arizona who have been allowed to stay in the U.S. under the Obama administration’s deferred action policy, but the benefits of the program in the state have been limited. As Montoya applies for teaching jobs, she considers herself competitively disadvantaged because Arizona hasn’t allowed her to get a driver’s license as the federal policy allows. She was among those cheering a decision by a federal appeals court that on Monday ruled the state cannot deny driver’s licenses to immigrants in the program. The threejudge panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals suggested the policy was intended to express hostility toward the young immigrants, in part because of the deferred action policy. “We are celebrating now, but we are going to have to continue to organize,” Montoya said, noting that it’s not the only example of difficulties she and others face. Montoya said her counterparts in Arizona often struggle to pay for college, because the state requires those receiving deferred action assistance to pay out-of-state tuition, which is more expensive. The program was created by the Obama administration in 2012 to help immigrants younger than 30 who came to the U.S. illegally as children. Applicants must have been in the country for at least five continuous years, enrolled in or have graduated from a high school or GED program or have served in the military. Aside from allowing driver’s licenses, the program also permits young immigrants to pursue a two-year renewable work permit. States have imposed various restrictions on benefits such immigrants are able to obtain, and Arizona’s denial of licenses was one of the most visible challenges to the Obama administration’s deferred deportation policy. A separate court battle is playing out in Arizona over a community college system that wants to grant in-state tuition to the immigrants — an effort the state attorney general has challenged. Arizona was one of two states that refused to issue licenses to the immigrants, sparking the latest court fight over the issue. Republican Gov. Jan Brewer called the ruling misguided and said she was considering appeal. The appeals court ruling follows other highprofile battles between Arizona and the federal government over immigration, including court decisions that struck down much of a 2010 enforcement law but upheld its most hotly debated section, which requires police to check immigration status under certain circumstances. A traditional Crow teepee is 18 feet, measured in steps from the tie to the rear, except for special ceremonial teepees which measure 21 feet, better for housing a fire. A Crow teepee has four base poles where other tribes use three, a system created by Yellow Leggings’ great journey. The four poles represent the cardinal directions and the seasons, east is spring, south is summer, west is fall and north is winter. The teepee is one of three mothers of the Crow people. Their first mother is the one that brings you into the world. The second mother is the teepee and the third is Mother Nature. “You will always have a mother when a teepee is there to protect you, the teepee protects our children from the elements,” Real Bird said. “Whichever one, the people of the earth will always have a mother thanks to these three.” Each time a pole is put up, it is done so in a pair creating an “X” to create strength for the lodge. Each pole has a name, some inherent to the teepee and some reserved to be named by the owner of the teepee. Some poles of the teepee at the Inn represent happiness and good health and the owner named others in honor of the buffalo and the elk. Future of the teepee Butch Jellis was the first white man to get a tribal ID from the Crow chief. After being adopted into the Crow nation 20 years ago, Sings With the Eagle — Jellis’ Crow name — began work to bring the nearby nations to Sheridan. In 2003, Jellis adopted a crow daughter — which in Crow tradition is similar to the concept to being a godparent — where as if something happens to her birth father, Jellis is responsible for her and her family, though she is a grown woman. Jellis said the concept is much more spiritual to the Crow than that of a godparent and he wanted to share this tradition with the people of Sheridan. A traditional celebratory parade was held to introduce his new daughter to the community of Sheridan and 150 people attended the inaugural parade. In the years since, the Crow have participated in the rodeo week parade and immediately followed the parade with a powwow on Grinnell Street. The event became more popular and crowded through the years and this THE SHERIDAN PRESS | ALISA BRANTZ From left, Edmund Old Crow and Jeff McDonald raise the teepee to the poles as Dr. Lanny Real Bird, right, explains the process to the audience at Monday night’s teepee raising. year Jellis asked Bob Townsend, new owner of the Historic Sheridan Inn, if the powwow could be held there. Though in the past the community has joined in the celebration, this year the teepee raising with explanation of traditions and beliefs was added to further introduce Crow culture to Sheridan County. “The greatest thing that can come out of this is not only the people that remember the days when the Indians used to come to town to see it again, but also to see the kids join the dance and pick up the traditions for future generations,” Jellis said. “They are the way of life; they were here first.” The event was well-attended and audience members were pulled in to help tell the tale of Yellow Leggings and also to learn the steps to traditional powwow dances, including the Crow Hop and Circle Dances. The official powwow will still follow the parade similar to past years, but will be bigger this year than ever before. In the parade will be 50 warriors on horseback with 10 outriders at their sides. Once back at the Inn, the large gathering of Native Americans will replicate a photograph taken more than one hundred years ago with Indians lined up in front of the Inn. The powwow Butch Jellis will begin immeTeepee raising organizer diately following the parade and a free trolley will be available to shuttle attendees from Grinnell Plaza to the Inn. Jellis said the Townsends have already asked them to return next year for the teepee raising and powwow. “Did you see the twinkle in their eyes as they listened to the story and watched the dances?” Jellis asked. “Did you ever know there was so much behind each part of the teepee? We will definitely do this again next year.” ‘Did you see the twinkle in their eyes as they listened to the story and watched the dances?’ REPORTS CONTINUED | From 7 •Domestic, Mydland Road, 3:03 p.m. •Accident, I-90 Westbound, 4:15 p.m. •Reckless Driver, Coffeen Avenue, 4:25 p.m. •Domestic, Emerson Street, 4:44 p.m. •Accident, Main Street, 7:28 p.m. •Drug (other), Sheridan Area, 7:35 p.m. •Fireworks, North Gould Street, 7:44 p.m. •Dog Bite, North Jefferson Street, 8:33 p.m. •Welfare check, Saberton Avenue, 9:06 p.m. •Phone Harassment, Coffeen Avenue, 10:17 p.m. •DUI, Reddi report, East Montana Street, 11:11 p.m. Monday •Suspicious person, South Sheridan Avenue, 12:22 a.m. •Burglary (occupied), South Thurmond Street, 1:52 a.m. •Hit and run, West 6th Street, 8:43 a.m. •Suspicious circumstances, Park Street, 10:03 a.m. •Alarm, Kingfisher Avenue, 10:20 a.m. •Agency Assist, West 5th Street, 10:56 a.m. •Barking dog, Taylor Avenue, 11:17 a.m. •Lewd acts, North Sheridan Avenue, 11:45 a.m. •Animal found, Spaulding Street, 1:19 p.m. •Juvenile (out of control), Dana Avenue, 1:40 p.m. •Child Endangerment, Coffeen Avenue, 2:41 p.m. •Abandoned vehicle, South Jefferson Street, 3:08 p.m. •Harassment, North Sheridan Avenue, 3:59 p.m. •Welfare check, 3rd Street, 4:43 p.m. •Traffic complaint, 11th Street, 7:39 p.m. •Accident, North Main Street, 7:58 p.m. •Suicidal subject, West 5th Street, 8:14 p.m. •Suicidal subject, Westview Drive, 8:52 p.m. •Domestic, Lewis Street, 10:14 p.m. •Suspicious circumstances, Broadway Street, 10:36 p.m. •Fireworks, Gladstone Street, 10:55 p.m. SHERIDAN COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE Monday •Accident, Ranchester, 12:14 a.m. •Alarm, Hollow Creek Road, 9:00 a.m. •Accident, Soldier Creek Road, 4:45 p.m. •Suicidal subject, Westview Drive, 8:52 p.m. •Fireworks, Ranchester, 10:08 p.m. •DUI, Reddit report, North Main Street, 10:45 p.m. •Traffic complaint, Upper and Metz Road, 11:10 p.m. ARRESTS Names of individuals arrested for domestic violence or sexual assault will not be released until those individuals have appeared in court.

(AP) — Authorities in southeastern Michigan say they’ve found the body of one of two people missing in area lakes. The Macomb County sheriff ’s department said in a statement that a dive team recovered the body of a 44-year-old Hazel Park man from Stony Creek Lake at Stony Creek Metropark around 8:30 a.m. Tuesday. The park is in Shelby Township, about 20 miles northeast of Detroit. The man was reported missing Monday evening while swimming near Baypoint Beach. His name wasn’t immediately released. Crews are also searching for a 33-year-old Shelby Township man who went missing in Lake St. Clair while trying to help a woman who fell from a boat into the water. The search for that man resumed Tuesday. TUESDAY, JULY 8, 2014 Soda tax’s last stand? Bay Area preps for showdown WASHINGTON (AP) — If two of the most progressive U.S. cities don’t pass a tax on sugary drinks, will the idea finally fizzle out? Sugary drinks have been under fire for years, with many blaming them for rising rates of obesity and chronic diseases. Yet efforts to curb consumption by imposing taxes and other measures have failed, in part because the beverage industry has spent millions to defeat the efforts. Now, the question of whether a bottle of Dr Pepper with 64 grams of sugar should be treated like a pack of cigarettes is being considered in San Francisco and Berkeley, with the two California cities aiming to become the country’s first to pass per-ounce taxes on sugary drinks. The stakes are high, especially given the Bay Area’s reputation for liberal politics. If approved, CocaCola, PepsiCo and other companies fear it could galvanize health advocates elsewhere. If defeated, the idea of a soda tax could be dead. “The industry is really motivated to beat us here. If they can beat us in San Francisco and Berkeley, nobody is going to take them on,” said Larry Tramutola, the political consultant handling the campaign in support of the tax in Berkeley. The odds aren’t in favor of taxes. Since 2009, about 30 special taxes on sugary drinks have been introduced around the country. Few have gained traction and none have prevailed. Chris Gindlesperger, a spokesman for the American Beverage Association, the lobbying group for Coke and Pepsi, says the failures show people don’t support the idea. Others say the industry uses unfair tactics to defeat measures, such as setting up groups with names like “Citizens Against Beverage Taxes,” which sound like they are community-driven but aren’t. They are nevertheless influential in shaping people’s attitudes. In San Francisco and Berkeley, supporters of the tax say they’re better organized to battle such tactics. They’re hitting the streets to educate voters and plan to run TV ads, work phone banks and mail fliers. “In other places, bless their hearts, but they were ill-prepared for what was coming at them” said Maggie Muir, a consultant who was hired by San Francisco lawmakers to lead the political committee in support of the soda tax. The San Francisco proposal is for a two-cent-per-ounce tax on sugary drinks and would not apply to milk or natural fruit juices without any added sugars. It needs a two-thirds vote to pass in the November election. The tax in Berkeley is for a penny per ounce and needs a simple majority of the vote. It’s a high bar either way. Just two years ago, similar measures were soundly defeated in other California cities. Part of the reason is that even some who think drinking sugary drinks can be harmful don’t believe taxing is the solution. BUSINESS www.thesheridanpress.com THE SHERIDAN PRESS B1 Washington poised to start legal marijuana sales SEATTLE (AP) — Lines were growing in the pre-dawn hours Monday outside shops set to become the first in Washington state to sell recreational marijuana legally. Deb Green, a 65-year-old retiree, waited all night outside Cannabis City, the only licensed shop in Seattle. The owner wasn’t planning to open his doors until noon Tuesday. Greene had showed up Monday afternoon with a chair, sleeping bag, food, water and a 930-page book. ”I voted for it, and I’m just so excited to see it come to be in my lifetime,” she said. “I’m not a heavy user, I’m just proud of our state for giving this a try.” Washington was the second state after Colorado to allow recreational sale of pot. A man also waited outside Cannabis City, but slept in his car early Tuesday. Meanwhile at 5 a.m., Sea of Green Farms co-owner Bob Leeds loaded about seven pounds of marijuana into boxes for a drive to Bellingham and delivery to the Top Shelf Cannabis store in time for its 8 a.m. opening. The pot was packaged in 1 gram plas- tic bags. The start of legal pot sales in Washington marks a major step that’s been 20 months in the making. Washington and Colorado stunned much of the world by voting in November 2012 to legalize marijuana for adults over 21, and to create state-licensed systems for growing, selling and taxing the pot. Sales began in Colorado on Jan. 1. Businesses got word early Monday morning from the state that they were licensed marijuana dealers. Drumming up business THE SHERIDAN PRESS | JUSTIN SHEELY Windy Crivello takes a photo with her smartphone during the Karz Rod Run car show Saturday morning on Main Street. Events being held in Sheridan this week, such as the Sheridan WYO Rodeo, are bringing more people into downtown shops as well as hotels and restaurants in the area. Corn prices fall as favorable weather continues NEW YORK (AP) — The price of corn fell to its lowest in almost four years on Monday as favorable weather conditions for the crop persist in the Midwest. Corn for delivery in September fell 9 cents, or 2.2 percent, to $4.06 a bushel, its lowest price since August 2010. As recently as April 29, corn was trading at $5.22. The price of corn has slumped in the last two months as the right combination of sun, rain and moderate summer temperatures has boosted the chances of a record crop this year. U.S. corn is currently entering its pollination stage, a critical point of its development. “We saw further acceleration to the downside today and the principal driver is the weather,” said Sterling Smith, a commodities analyst at Citigroup. The prices for wheat and soybeans also fell. Wheat for September dropped 22.8 cents, or 3.9 percent, to $5.57 a bushel. Soybeans for the same month fell 8 cents, or 0.7 percent, to $11.26 a bushel. Most metals ended lower. Gold, silver, copper and platinum all fell, while palladium rose. Gold for August delivery dropped $3.60, or 0.3 percent, to $1,317 an ounce. Silver for September fell 12.3 cents, or 0.6 percent, to $21.01 an ounce. Copper for the same month fell 1.9 cents, or 0.6 percent, to $3.26 an ounce. Platinum for October slipped $12.10, or 0.8 percent, to $1,495.60 an ounce. Palladium for September rose $7.05, or 0.8 percent, to $868.95 an ounce. In energy trading, the price of oil dropped for the seventh straight day amid expectations that Libya will soon boost its exports of crude. U.S. crude for August delivery fell 53 cents to close at $103.53 a barrel in New York. Wholesale gasoline fell 3.1 cents to $2.989 a gallon. Natural gas fell 18.1 cents to close at $4.225 per 1,000 cubic feet. Heating oil fell 1.4 cents to close at $2.915 a gallon. B2 SPORTS THE SHERIDAN PRESS www.thesheridanpress.com NASCAR made right call to pull plug at Daytona (AP) –– When the sky opened for a third time during the rain-rescheduled race at Daytona, and teams pulled out car covers to wait out the weather, it seemed the right time for NASCAR to put the Coke Zero 400 out of its misery. The entire weekend was plagued by rain. Cars never got near the track for the scheduled Saturday start. When the race finally did begin Sunday — delayed, because of rain on the pace laps — it went a whopping six laps before the cars went back to pit road for another 25minute delay. Then, the on-track carnage: a 16-car crash seconds before a scheduled competition cau- TUESDAY, JULY 8, 2014 tion, and a 26-car crash before another shower. A total of six drivers managed to avoid accidents, leaving just 17 cars on the lead lap. It would have been comedic if it wasn’t such a disastrous day for one of the biggest events on the NASCAR schedule. So pulling the plug seemed like such a logical decision when the track was soaked through shortly before 3 p.m. Drivers — especially those who were lined up behind winner Aric Almirola when the race was called with 48 laps remaining — thought otherwise. And so did the fans. Using social media to vent their frustration, fans blasted NASCAR for calling the race so early. Daytona International Speedway has lights, and many claimed they were willing to hang in there until they saw one driver take the checkered flag. They were robbed of that right when NASCAR threw in the towel, they argued, and a race is not complete until someone crosses the finish line. “I know a lot of the fans tuned into the TV and stuck around at the race track waiting to see a finish,” said second-place finisher Brian Vickers.

THE SHERIDAN PRESS | MIKE PRUDEN Local athletes discuss competing in front of hometown crowd BY MIKE PRUDEN THE SHERIDAN PRESS SHERIDAN — Whether you wear ruby-red slippers or a pair of cowboy boots, there really is “no place like home.” That’s exactly the case for six local riders as they compete in the Sheridan WYO Rodeo this week. While rodeo clown “Crash” Cooper applies his makeup and announcer Will Rasmussen warms his vocal chords, as 19,000 fans file into their seats, 670 cowboys and cowgirls will be finishing any last minute preparations as they ready themselves for competition in Sheridan’s premier event, kicking off Wednesday at the Sheridan County Fairgrounds. Six of those riders will be competing right in their own backyard. Ronda Holwell, E.J. Panetta, Devan Reilly and Zeke Thurston are all from Sheridan, while Miles Kobold represents Big Horn. Thurston, who is also a student at Sheridan College, will be joined by teammate Taygen Schuelke to round out the six riders representing Sheridan County in the rodeo. The six riders will represent Sheridan County in five of the eight rodeo events throughout the week. Holwell, the only female of the group, is competing in barrel racing, while Kobold and Panetta will be showcasing their roping skills, competing in team roping and tie-down roping, respectively. “I love my hometown rodeo,” Kobold said. “I’ve done rodeo all my life, and this is definitely one of my favorite events. Kobold, who now calls Billings home, says it’s nice to come back to Sheridan to compete in front of his family. “I spend a lot of my time up in Montana, but this is a rodeo I just don’t want to miss,” he said. “I’ve got family here, and I’ve got a little girl now, and it’s nice to spend time with all of them.” Reilly, Schuelke and Thurston are the young guns of the group, coming fresh off their solid performances in the College National Finals Rodeo a month ago. Schuelke, in particular, will carry a lot of momentum into the week as he competes in saddle bronc riding. He finished as the top all-around male at the CNFR, including a third-place finish in saddle bronc. Thurston, who teamed up with Schuelke to give Sheridan College a fourth overall finish in the team standings at the CNFR, will be competing against his teammate in the saddle bronc event, while Devan Reilly will look to carry his sixth-place CNFR performance in bareback riding into the week’s events. But whether it be a Sheridan College athlete or a professional, a barrel racer or a bareback rider, all six of these athletes will have a little added pressure as they compete in front of the home crowd. “There really is a lot of pressure being from here,” Holwell said. “I look at it as, in barrel racing, you’ve got 18 seconds to make an impression, good or bad. It’s more pressure because everybody knows you, and you want to look good in front your home town.” DENVER (AP) — With San Diego’s pitching staff on a roll, Ian Kennedy wasn’t about to break the momentum. Kennedy pitched seven sharp innings, Rene Rivera hit a tiebreaking RBI double in the sixth and the Padres beat the Colorado Rockies 6-1 on Monday night in a game that included a 56-minute weather delay. Chase Headley added four hits for San Diego, including a tworun triple in the seventh inning to break open a close game. The outing by Kennedy extended a strong run by Padres starters, who have allowed only six runs over the last seven games to help San Diego win five of seven in that stretch. “You talk about hitters getting momentum, pitching staffs can get momentum, too,” Padres manager Bud Black said. “Guys are aware of what’s going on and they’re watching other guys pitch and they can gain confidence from that and I think that’s what’s happening.” Kennedy seemed to gain strength the deeper he got into the game, striking out five of the last six batters he faced before wind, rain and lightning forced the delay heading into the eighth inning. Kevin Quackenbush stepped in for Kennedy when play resumed. “The last eight, nine games, we’ve thrown really well and you don’t want to be that guy to throw bad,” Kennedy said. “It’s a lot of fun when the other guys on your staff are throwing the ball well. You can feed off that.” SEE RODEO, PAGE B3 SEE ROCKIES, PAGE B3 Granger, McRoberts agree on deals with Heat MIAMI (AP) — LeBron James has been involved with some heated playoff moments involving Danny Granger and Josh McRoberts. And now, they could be his teammates — if the four-time NBA MVP decides to stay in Miami. The Heat announced Monday that they intend to sign Granger and McRoberts when the NBA’s moratorium on deals being formally struck ends later this week. McRoberts agreed to a four-year deal that starts at around $5.3 million next season, said agent Mike Conley Sr., with Miami using its mid-level exception to get that contract done. “He thinks it’s a chance to do some special things,” Conley Sr. said, adding that McRoberts has a player option for the final year of his Heat deal. Yahoo Sports reported Granger agreed to a two-year deal, worth about $2 million annually. Granger’s agent, Aaron Mintz, did not immediately return messages seeking comment. Those were the first two known moves by the Heat during the free-agent shopping period, but all eyes remain on what James is going to do and if he’s worn a Miami uniform for the final time. Heat President Pat Riley is planning to meet with James later this week, in an effort to convince him to stay in Miami. It’s still unclear when the Riley-James meeting will take place. James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh are all free agents, and none have said where they will be playing next season and beyond. But even after going to the NBA Finals in four straight seasons, winning two championships, this was going to be an offseason of change for the Heat. Miami entered free agency with only Norris Cole under a guaranteed contract for this coming season. The Heat have a partially guaranteed deal with Justin Hamilton and the rights to guard Shabazz Napier, who was acquired on draft night. So there are obviously plenty of slots to fill, and on Monday, the Heat began tipping their hand on who will get those jobs. Contracts begin getting signed Thursday. McRoberts averaged 8.5 points in 78 starts for Charlotte last season, and raised Miami’s ire in the playoffs by leveling James with an elbow that some Heat players said looked intentional. Backhand shot Chip Campbell hits the ball backwards on Saturday at the Flying H Polo Club. THE SHERIDAN PRESS | MIKE PRUDEN TUESDAY, JULY 8, 2014 www.thesheridanpress.com THE SHERIDAN PRESS B3 RODEO: Competing in slack, evening performances at the WYO Rodeo this week FROM B2 As attendance at the rodeo has increased over 10,000 people in the last 20 years, the added pressure also brings with it plenty of support from the community for the riders. “This is a community event that is embraced by everyone, and that’s what makes it so special,” Sheridan WYO Rodeo President Zane Garstad said to the Press. Regardless of being a Sheridan resident or not, Holwell says that the Sheridan WYO Rodeo is one of the best rodeos she has ever attended. “I’ve been to a lot of rodeos,” she said. “Even if I wasn’t from here, I’d say it’s one of the most fun rodeos I’ve been to, as a competitor or a spectator. There aren’t very many other rodeos where the stands are full every night.” Despite the added pressure that it might add on her as a competitor, Holwell credited the community’s commitment to the rodeo for its success. “The whole community gets involved,” she said. “Every year it gets bigger and bigger and better and better. The community really rallies, and as a whole they do an exceptional job.” While the stands at the Sheridan County Fairgrounds will be packed with people cheering on the cowboys, cowgirls, bull fighters and everything in between, they are sure to be cheering a little bit louder for their hometown riders. ROCKIES: Major slump Lightning fast FROM B2 Kennedy (7-9) finished with nine strikeouts, boosting his team-leading total this season to 125. He allowed four hits in seven innings, including Drew Stubbs’ leadoff home run in the fourth. The Padres improved to 28-4 this season when scoring four or more runs, the second-best mark in baseball behind Washington, which is 39-3 when scoring at least four times. Slumping Colorado lost for the 18th time in the last 21 games. They’ve gone 1-4 midway through a 10-game homestand. “We can’t afford to lose series,” said Rockies manager Walt Weiss, whose club lost three of four to the Los Angeles Dodgers to open the homestand. “We’re getting some (injured) guys back but bottom line is we have to start winning some series.” The Rockies haven’t won a series since completing a sweep at San Francisco on June 15. With the score tied at 1-1 in the sixth, Tommy Medica hit a one-out double and Rivera followed with a double to left. One out later, Cameron Maybin sent a drive to the warning track in left center that seemed to get caught in swirling winds and dropped just beyond the reach of Corey Dickerson’s glove as the Padres took a 3-1 lead. San Diego added three runs in the seventh. Kennedy drew a leadoff walk and Chris Denorfia singled to chase Tyler Matzek (1-3). Headley, who changed his batting grip slightly a little over a week ago, greeted Matt Belisle with a triple off the right-field wall, scoring Kennedy and Denorfia. Carlos Quentin’s sacrifice fly put the Padres in front by five runs. “I feel like it lets me be a little shorter to the ball, gives me a little more leverage,” Headley said of his revised grip. It does seem to have helped. He had his second four-hit game in July after not having any in the first 62 games of the season. Matzek was charged with five runs and eight hits in six innings. Wade Shoemaker throws up his arms to signal he has finished tying his steer during slack on Tuesday at the Sheridan County Fairgrounds. THE SHERIDAN PRESS | MIKE PRUDEN NASCAR: Many expected race to continue FROM B2 “I was expecting them to wait a little bit longer knowing that we have lights here and it was going to be a night race anyway.” Those fans have a point. But when posting from their living room with the race on the television, it doesn’t really apply. Weather has wreaked havoc on four events this season, including the water-logged Daytona 500, which needed a stoppage of more than six hours. Then came Bristol a month later, and that race needed two stoppages of more than five hours. Both times, there were fans that stuck around for the fin- ish. And both times, the television window was stretched, but NASCAR’s partners worked with the series to keep the events on TV. Texas in April was just like Daytona on Saturday. It rained hard all day, and the cars never got on the track. So NASCAR came back the next day, a Monday, and got the race completed under a sunny sky. Some fans stayed, some left, but the television audience was appeased. Daytona was an entirely different animal. It was a long holiday weekend with the party scheduled for Saturday night’s main event. Rain had caused a wreck in the Nationwide Series’ shortened qualifying session, and the race was delayed on Friday night by more rain.

OZ & ROIZEN Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Michael Roizen MARY WORTH by Karen Moy and Joe Giella BORN LOSER® by Art and Chip Sansom You've probably seen the ads on television from the National Cattlemen's Beef Association with Hollywood cowboy Sam Elliott intoning: "Beef. It's what's for dinner." Well, not so fast, pardner! Although U.S. beef consumption is down from a startling 79 pounds per per- son per year in 1985 to around 50 pounds, that's still way too much. We've often reported that eating red meat amps up all causes of death by 20 percent, and now there's even more evidence of the harm it can do. A new study found a 22 percent increased risk of breast cancer among women who regularly ate red meat during their early adulthood (about 10 servings per week) compared with those who ate less than one and a half servings per week. But fortunately, the study also shows that you're not doomed if you were a youthful red-meat eater! You can slash your risk for breast cancer by making changes in your diet starting right now. If you're premenopausal and you eliminate one serving of red meat from your diet and add one serving of skinless poultry, you'll reduce your risk of breast cancer by over 17 percent; do that postmenopause and your risk declines 24 percent. We say, imagine how much healthier you'd be if you limited your red meat intake to no more (and often less) than one 3- to 6-ounce serving a week, and added three weekly servings of omega-3-rich fish like salmon and ocean trout and nine servings of veggies and fruit a day. How ironic: You'll beef up your health if you skip the beef.

DEAR ABBY Pauline Phillips and Jeanne Phillips GARFIELD by Jim Davis FRANK & ERNEST® by Bob Thaves REX MORGAN, M.D. by Woody Wilson and Tony DiPreta ZITS® by Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman DILBERT by S. Adams ALLEY OOP® by Dave Graue and Jack Bender DEAR ABBY: May I comment about the question from "Unsure in the West" (April 6), who wanted to create scrapbooks out of all the cards and letters she received over the years? My generation (30s) is all about social media. "Unsure" mentioned that all the items she wanted to include were preFacebook. I am a bit old-fashioned (or maybe stubborn) so I don't do Facebook or Twitter, and I don't understand the importance of a "hashtag." I have no idea how to Skype, nor do I pay my bills online. I think the scrapbook idea is wonderful. There is something special about having tangible items to go along with important milestones and memories. Even if the gifts themselves don't strike a chord with her friends, surely the consideration and time she puts into the scrapbooks will make her loved ones realize how important they are to her. I say, proceed with confidence. Your friends are lucky to have you. -- L.K. IN THE MIDWEST DEAR L.K.: Like you, read- ers overwhelmingly support "Unsure" in her efforts to create scrapbooks of memories for her friends. Read on: DEAR ABBY: I have also saved cards, letters, wedding photos and pictures of newborns, etc., for several decades. A few years ago, I simply returned them to the people who had sent them. Nearly all of the recipients squealed with delight as they thanked me, having realized I had gifted them with "time capsules" of their lives. Only one friend was offended that I had returned her items. She said she was "appalled" that I didn't cherish them myself. The joy expressed by the others superseded the angry friend. "Unsure," return those items to the senders! -LINDA IN INDIANA DEAR ABBY: I did the same thing with photos. But instead of returning them to the person(s} who gave them to me, I gave them to the children who were pictured in the photos. Others I saved and presented to the nowgrown child's spouse as a wedding gift. So far they have been well-received. Most people are surprised to learn that I actually kept all these photos of them or their children for so long and appreciated the effort I put into the scrapbooks. -- MEMORY KEEPER DEAR ABBY: I am not a crafter and I'm not very sentimental. I don't enjoy what I consider clutter. As I've grown older, I have done my best to pare down and eliminate things I no longer have use for. I have embraced technology. If "Unsure" were my friend, I would appreciate it more if she scanned anything she wanted to give back to me. Either way, I would probably view the scrapbook or e-book, and then deep-six it after the viewing. It crossed my mind that perhaps "Unsure" is cleaning out, and this is her way of getting rid of her "clutter." -MAUREEN IN FLORIDA DEAR ABBY: Yes! Bundle and return the cards and letters with a note about what the correspondence has meant to you over the years. As a young adult, I lived all over the world and frequently wrote my friends and family about my life and what I was experiencing. Over the last few years I have received bundles from my mother, my sister and a friend -- all letters they had hung onto for 20 to 30 years. What a surprise and a joy. Reading these old cards and letters gave me a window into a world that no longer exists, and reminded me of who I was then and what my life was like. Yes, please give back the correspondence. -- MARIANNE IN CALIFORNIA Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

WANTED PT or FT prep cook/cook and/or waitress El Tapatio Dos, 1125 N. Main St., Sheridan, 307-2544337, 307-751-0253 Hints from Heloise Getting Medical Records Dear Readers: Do you know what your rights are when it comes to MEDICAL RECORDS? The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Privacy Rule gives you the right to not only see but get copies of most of your medical records. Providers do have the right to charge a fee for copies of your medical records. I have found that some do and some don't. Ask your health-care professional if he or she does. Consider if you want only the past year (and it's just a few pages) or you want ALL of your records (it's a lot). Medical staff can charge you for time spent copying your records and the materials used to do it, if they want to. State laws vary on this issue, but it's important for you to know your rights. -- Heloise P.S.: To keep up, ask for a copy of ALL of your lab tests, etc., right then, and start your own health file. It's easy to do. WET SHOES Dear Heloise: Help! I got Heloise stuck outside in a rainstorm, and even though the leather on my dress shoes is protected, the insides were soaked. What should I do next time this happens? -- Jonathan L., via email Boy, this does seem to happen, and it's not fun! Next time, just grab some newspapers, open them up and kind of crunch them into a loose ball, then stuff them into the shoes. It helps the shoes keep their shape, and it absorbs the moisture (you may need to replace the papers a couple of times). Do NOT put the shoes near direct heat or sunlight. Also, sprinkle a little baking soda in them to help absorb moisture and some stinky odor as well. -Heloise LITTLE HELPERS Dear Heloise: With school out for the summer, my daughters and I are spending time in the kitchen baking treats and making dinners. My daughters wear old T-shirts to cook in instead of aprons. Aprons are too big, and the ties get in the way. A T-shirt fits against the body, and it's easy to wash. -- Jennifer L. in Indiana Love it! A favorite Heloise hint for bakers and "little" Pi- TUESDAY, JULY 8, 2014 cassos is to use a man's old large shirt. Put it on backward and roll up the sleeves, and it covers everything. -- Heloise CLUTTER ALTERNATIVE Dear Heloise: I noticed that the top of my dresser in the bedroom was getting more and more cluttered with all of my personal cosmetics, perfume, deodorant, hair spray and the like. I purchased a decorative medicine cabinet with a mirror. I hung it over my dresser, and now I have everything that I need, behind closed doors. I have a clean dresser top, and everything I use is neatly tucked away. -- Joan in New Hampshire STORING BUTTONS Dear Heloise: A good use of a pill sorter is for storing dressshirt buttons. From the tiny to the large, they all can be contained. -- Cathy W. in Indiana Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 782795000, or you can fax it to 1-210HELOISE or email it to Heloise(at)Heloise.com. I can't answer your letter personally but will use the best hints received in my column. KILLY'S DELI is looking for a P/T employee to help fry their delicious Chester Fried chicken.

Stop by 2305 Coffeen Ave. or Call 674-6677 Bridge TAURUS (Apr. 20- May 20): Show by doing, not by talking. Words may hold empty promises, but no one will doubt your sincerity if you take a definitive course of action. Projects run more smoothly with cooperation and teamwork rather than competition. GEMINI (May 21- June 20): If you don't know, ask. There's no shame in seeking help if you're not sure of the details of a situation. You'd feel much more foolish if you forged ahead without knowing what you were doing. Work with others, not against them. CANCER (June 21- July 22): Lead the cheers. You can get the ball rolling on a new project by rousing your colleagues to action and sparking their enthusiasm. Create an atmosphere of camaraderie to pique inter- ests and ultimately achieve optimum results. LEO (July 23- Aug. 22): Think "I can" and it will be true. A little self-confidence is all that's needed to conquer any obstacle before you. Accept any given task as a challenge, and once you get started, your momentum will carry you forward. VIRGO (Aug. 23- Sept. 22): There aren't enough hours in the day. Getting wrapped up in your work may leave loved ones feeling neglected, while quality time with family may cause work to suffer. Budget your time carefully and you'll be able to make everyone happy. LIBRA (Sept. 23- Oct. 22.): Big jobs require big efforts.

Edgar Fiedler, an economist who worked under presidents Nixon and Ford, said, "Ask five economists and you'll get five different answers -- six if one went to Harvard." In this deal, how would you play the club suit if you need five tricks? What if you require six? South is in six notrump and West leads the heart jack. With the given hands, what should he do? And suppose the diamond king were only the queen. How would that affect declarer's approach? South's leap to six notrump with only 17 highcard points seems optimistic, but since North has shown at least a six-card club suit and all of South's points are in aces and kings, it is a reasonable gamble. South needs five club tricks to go with two spades, three hearts and two diamonds. As he can afford one club loser, declarer should take the first trick and cash dummy's club ace. Here the king drops and South can claim. But if the king does not appear, declarer crosses to his hand and leads a club toward dummy's queen. The likelihood of success is about 72 percent. Now let's weaken the South hand by metamorphosing the diamond king into the queen. South can get home with either five clubs and two diamonds, or six clubs and one diamond. To find out which way to Omarr’s Daily Astrological Forecast BIRTHDAY GUY: Actor Toby Kebbell was born in Pontefract, Yorkshire, England, on this date in 1982. This birthday guy has starred in such films as "Wrath Of The Titans," "War Horse" and "The Sorcerer's Apprentice," as well as his acclaimed film debut in 2004's "Dead Man's Shoes." Up next for Kebbell will be roles in the upcoming blockbusters "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes," "Warcraft," and a quick reboot of "The Fantastic Four." ARIES (Mar. 21- Apr. 19): Get going while the going is good. Take the time to launch new projects and endeavors while energy levels are at their peak. You'll be able to accomplish much in a short time, as your stamina is likely to last longer than usual. Campers, Trailers turn, he should take the diamond finesse first. If it wins, he tackles clubs as just described. But if the diamond finesse loses, declarer needs six club tricks. He must play low to dummy's queen and hope West started with exactly king-doubleton. South's chances have dropped to just under 50 percent. Jeraldine Saunders reap in the end. For a team to work effectively, everyone must be on the same page in the playbook. SCORPIO (Oct. 23- Nov. 21): Slow and steady wins the race. You can create something wonderful simply by working along at your own comfortable pace and not worrying about time constraints. Sharing your passions with friends and loved ones may yield useful feedback. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): You can't achieve anything unless you work at it. Take charge of the latest project and don't take for granted that someone else will do the work for you. Your high energy level may inspire others around you to push that much harder. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Give it up for the team. In a group effort, the project will only succeed if everyone contributes to the end result. Do what's asked of you and offer your assistance to those who may be lagging behind. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20- Feb. 18): Follow the leader. You may feel someone is manipulating a situation to their benefit. However, if you look at the bigger picture, you'll find that you stand to gain a great deal, as well. Put petty jealousies aside and play along. PISCES (Feb. 19- Mar. 20): Set the pace. Stepping up your production will also increase everyone else's as they struggle to keep up with you. A high energy level will allow you progress faster than usual and could leave you with some free time later in the day. IF JULY 9 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: When your sincerity and honesty are turned up high, as they will be during the next 6-8 weeks, the world could be your oyster. Your talent and worthiness are obvious to everyone, so don't be surprised if you reach a meeting of the minds with a romantic partner, or if an interview leads to a job offer. You could make your dreams a reality this summer, but you might find that those dreams require dedication and a high degree of responsibility. In late September, you're particularly astute about financial or business matters, but don't make crucial decisions in November, when you could turn a blind eye to pitfalls.

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.
