Natural gas board increases budget by $33,000, inches closer to achieving mission
BY HANNAH SHEELY
THE SHERIDAN PRESS
DAYTON — The Tongue River Valley Joint Powers Board
has increased its budget for fiscal year 2015 by approximately $33,000 over last year’s budget, indicating that the
board seeking to bring natural gas to Dayton, Ranchester
and areas in between is gaining steam in its mission.
The board is also entering its first full year in operation.
Last year’s original budget of $6,000 was used for opera-
tional expenses like advertising, bonding and consulting
services as the group organized and began seeking the
best options for bringing in natural gas. In April, the
Board of County Commissioners matched the original
$6,000 budget with a contribution of $6,000 and promised
another $4,000 if the same amount could be raised from
individual donations.
This year’s budget — a total of $39,000 in proposed revenue and $25,300 in proposed expenses — includes $4,000
from the county and the matching $4,000 from individual
contributions, which continue to come in, board
Chairman Peter Clark said.
The remaining $31,000 in revenue came from the town of
Ranchester, the town of Dayton and Sheridan County
School District 1, which are the three entities in the joint
powers board.

Aug. 19 primary.
“A ‘rebuke’ means that they are conceding
that I did nothing wrong. It’s that simple,” Hill
said in a written statement. “They spent two
years and $1.3 million so that they could
‘rebuke’ someone?”
Hill stated that now the Legislature is giving
up on its efforts to remove her, she wants to
know when she will be getting a formal apology.
Hill alleged that staffers for Gov. Matt Mead,
whom she’s challenging in the primary, were
heavily involved in the smear campaign
against her. Renny MacKay, spokesman for
Mead, earlier this month dismissed as ridiculous Hill’s claims that the governor was working with lawmakers to discredit her.
DAYTON — It is a good
time to be in FCCLA at
Tongue River High School
as the group recently
returned home from the
national competition with
pride behind them and good
news ahead.
The Family Career and
Community Leaders of
America are a group of students from the family and
consumer sciences studies
who, at TRHS, have been led
by teacher Pat Mischke for
many years.
After a successful state
level competition in March,
Mischke and 14 of her students traveled to the
National Leadership
Conference in San Antonio,
Texas, to compete against
7,500 high school students
from across America.
“You can’t imagine what
it’s like there. They are all
good living people. They all
have common interests,”
Mischke said. “Family and
community are what it’s all
about. It’s a good place to
be.”
After a week of workshops, tours and competitions, the students returned
home victorious and energized for the year ahead.
With the highest scores
representatives of the
school have ever received,
multiple students were not
only recipients of national
gold medals but also finished in the 96th to 97th percentile of attendees nationwide.
“I think that all the kids
who went took it very seriously and didn’t think of it
as just another trip,”
Mischke said. “They worked
hard and they practiced.
They knew what they were
going to say and they were
ready.”
Of the 14 attendees only
five had competed in the
national competition in
years past and for one of the
“freshmen” to the competition, it was especially special as it was his senior year
and last chance to shine.

Legislative panel blasts education leader’s tenure
CHEYENNE (AP) — The special legislative
committee investigating Wyoming schools
Superintendent Cindy Hill released its final
report on Wednesday, formally rebuking her
and concluding she willfully violated state
personnel laws and ignored state budget language aimed at preventing her from spending
money on unauthorized teacher-training programs.
“Cindy Hill, for whatever reason, chose not
to follow the law,” the committee states in the
conclusion of the 120-page report.
The report states that, after Hill took office
in 2011, she fired or ran off most of the senior
employees at the Wyoming Department of
Education who knew how its budgetary, financial and human-resource processes operated.
“She replaced those long-term employees
with persons who were loyal to her, but had
little or no experience managing an entire
state agency,” the report states. “She refused
to ask for legislative appropriations for her
programs. She refused to perform her duties
with fidelity.”
‘She refused to ask for legislative
appropriations for her programs. She
refused to perform her duties with fidelity.’

report as a political “smear campaign” aimed
at discrediting her as she seeks the

REPORT: Brown among several lawyers who served on the special committee
FROM 1
The report is the latest salvo in years of
ongoing conflict between Hill and the
Legislature.
Lawmakers passed, and Mead signed, a
bill removing her as head of the state
Education Department last year only to see
a divided Wyoming Supreme Court reinstate her early this year after finding her
removal unconstitutional.
The report doesn’t make any recommendation on what should happen as a result of
its conclusions. It would be up to any mem-
ber of the Wyoming House of
Representatives to try to push for impeachment proceedings against her. Senior lawmakers, however, have said they believe
that impeachment proceedings are unlikely
given that her term as superintendent
expires at the end of the year.
Rep. Kermit Brown, R-Laramie, served on
the special committee that drafted the
report.
“The report is what it is,” Brown, the
House Majority Floor Leader, said
Wednesday. “It is the end result of the activities of the investigatory committee, and it
does not necessarily drive anything. It is a
resource for the Legislature and for individual legislators to use however they
wish.”
Brown is among several lawyers who
served on the special committee. Hill has
filed a complaint with the Wyoming State
Bar alleging that the lawyers on the panel
failed to abide by professional standards in
investigating her.
The report notes that the Legislature had
explicitly barred Hill from continuing to
spend money on a professional development program her administration had
developed called “teacher-to-teacher.” It
states Hill continued the program under a
new name and later tried to hide the continuing funding and apparently tried to
mislead the Legislature by expunging mention of it in financial reports.
The report concludes that several professional-services contracts under Hill’s
tenure violated laws and policies. For
example, it states Sheryl Lain, a member of
Hill’s management team now running for
superintendent of public instruction, “violated Wyoming’s laws and policies” by
approving a contract benefiting her daughter. An attempt to reach Lain for comment
Wednesday was not immediately successful.

“The kids had to ship

and sometimes it takes $85100 just to ship it,” Mischke
said. “Recently some of the

He was impressed with

without their fearless
leader, Mischke.
Mischke joined Sheridan

County School District 1 in
1996 and has become a
household name in recent
years thanks to her many
accolades and commitment
to the student body.
Most recently, Mischke
was highlighted in bittersweet news revealing that
she had both been named
the district’s teacher of the
year and also announced
her retirement.
TRHS principal Mark
Fritz voiced the opinion that
replacing Mischke would be
nearly impossible, and it
turns out he was more correct than he had hoped.
After the district could not
find someone to run the
well-respected program
Mischke had developed, the
administration asked her to
return and she accepted.
Mischke has been rehired
and after experiencing what
she refers to as her summer
of retirement — though
with the continued amount
of work she put in, it likely
did not appear as retirement
to others — she will again
be at the reigns of one of
the most popular programs
at Tongue River for the 20142015 school year.
Understandably thrilled
students are excited to have
their teacher return, but
Mischke said she has not
had a free moment to think
about next year and will
technically remain retired
until the school year begins.
Next year’s program is
already shaping up to be
bigger and better than ever.

BUDGET: Options for another grant
FROM 1
Clark said $20,000 of projected expenditures is slated for professional engineering
fees. The board is currently in the process
of putting together a request for proposal
to hire an engineering firm to design the
route of the pipeline and figure out needed
rights of way and easements.
At Tuesday’s budget hearing and meeting, representatives from WWC
Engineering and Vista West Engineering
offered advice on how to best prepare an
RFP in order to limit the scope and cost of
the project, Clark said.
Under new business, Clark informed the
board that he has a meeting scheduled Aug.
1 with the Wyoming Pipeline Authority to
discuss possible funding and partnership.
Clark has also spoken with the United
States Department of Agriculture office in
Torrington about possible funding options,
and the board will begin working on the
application process for the USDA. However,
before applying, the natural gas board
needs an engineering survey, an environmental study and more, which all cost
money.
“It takes money to get money. We’re still
trying to figure out that little wrinkle,”
Clark said.
Clark will also set up a phone call with
the State Loan and Investment Board to discuss options for submitting another application for a loan and a grant to fund the
pipeline. The SLIB board rejected the
board’s original request in June due to limited funds available for SLIB to allocate.
Looking ahead, the natural gas board
hopes to have an RFP for design of the
pipeline prepared by its next regular meeting Aug. 27.

WYOMING BRIEFS |
Judge: Albany Courthouse
security lacking
LARAMIE (AP) — A district judge in
Albany County says security remains an
issue at the county courthouse in Laramie.
Judge Jeffrey Donnell says basic security
standards developed by the Wyoming Court
Security Commission have not been adopted in Albany County.
The security standards include having
proper equipment, security staffing and
training.
Albany County Commission Chairman
Tim Sullivan acknowledges courtroom
security is a problem.
Sullivan tells the Laramie Boomerang
that the county can’t afford the cost of
making extensive improvements to the
courthouse.
But he did note that closed-circuit security cameras and monitors have been
installed recently.
Donnell says the county does have the
money to do more. He says the county commission chooses to spend it on other
things.
Wyoming Game and Fish Dept.
seeks input on deer
LARAMIE (AP) — Managers with the
Wyoming Game and Fish Department are
holding public meetings to discuss management of the Sheep Mountain mule deer
herd.
The department is hosting public meetings in Cheyenne and Laramie to present
information on mule deer ecology and population data for the Sheep Mountain herd.
The Cheyenne meeting will be Aug. 5 at
the Game and Fish Headquarters building.
The Laramie meeting will be Aug. 6 at the
University of Wyoming Student Union.
Both meetings will start at 6 p.m.
School districts team up to
lobby for more money
CASPER (AP) — A coalition of seven
Wyoming school districts says the state had
underfunded K-12 schools by $151 million
in recent years.
The districts are asking the Legislature
to pay back the money and find a way to
make adjustments for inflation an annual,
automatic part of the state’s budget.
The districts signed onto the coalition
are Campbell County School District No. 1,
Carbon County No. 1, Johnson County No.
1, Sheridan County No. 1, Sublette County
No. 1, Sweetwater County No. 2, and Teton
County School District No. 1.
State Rep. Steve Harshman, of Casper, is
chairman of the Joint Appropriations
Committee.
He tells the Casper Star-Tribune that districts had received too much money for
inflation adjustment from the state in some
years.
Ethete woman competent for
trial in son’s death
CASPER (AP) — A federal judge has
determined an Ethete woman accused of
murder in the death of her newborn son is
competent to stand trial.
U.S. District Judge Scott Skavdahl of
Casper on Tuesday ordered Ardis Sierra
Enos to stand trial Sept. 15.
The 20-year-old Enos has pleaded not
guilty to a federal charge of first-degree
murder in the boy’s March 26 death.
Prosecutors allege she killed him minutes
after she gave birth to him on the Wind
River Indian Reservation.
An FBI agent’s complaint says Enos had
kept her pregnancy secret. Doctors at
Lander Regional Hospital called the FBI
after Enos sought medical treatment the
day after giving birth. Searchers later
found the baby’s body in a ditch.
Skavdahl ordered Enos released to the
custody of her mother pending trial.
Prosecutors say man told
deputies he shot wife
CHEYENNE (AP) — Authorities say a
Burns man told deputies he shot and killed
his wife because she was yelling at their
grandchildren.
Prosecutors allege 61-year-old Ronald
Thomas Zimmerman shot and killed 51year-old Teresa Zimmerman on Sunday at
the family home in Burns, a small community about 30 miles east of Cheyenne.
The Wyoming Tribune-Eagle reports that
Zimmerman appeared in Laramie County
Circuit Court on Tuesday on a charge of
second-degree murder.
Circuit Court Judge Denise Nau set
Zimmerman’s bond at $100,000 and scheduled a preliminary hearing for July 31 to
decide if there’s enough evidence for him
to face charges in district court.
Prosecutors say Zimmerman told an officer of the Laramie County Sheriff ’s Office
that he shot his wife in the face .
Casper man pleads guilty to
abusing boy
CASPER (AP) — A Casper man has
pleaded guilty to sexually abusing a boy.
The Casper Star-Tribune reports that a
lawyer for 31-year-old Derek Alexander
McCollum pleaded guilty Tuesday morning
in Natrona County District Court.
Prosecutors say the abuse occurred in
2007 and 2008 with a boy who was 5 and 6
years old at the time.
McCollum faces up to 30 years in prison
when he’s sentenced following completion
of a pre-sentence report. His sentence will
run together with a 10-year sentence he’s
currently serving in Missouri for theft and
sexual exploitation of a minor.
Wyomingites asked to report
dead sage grouse
CASPER (AP) — Wildlife officials are
asking Wyomingites to report dead sage
grouse so the birds can be tested for West
Nile virus.
The Casper Star-Tribune reports the
grouse have a low resistance to the disease,
which is usually fatal, and the tests by the
Wyoming Game and Fish Department are
aimed at monitoring the effect of the disease across the state.
Officials say the carcasses should be
reported or placed in two tied plastic bags
and delivered to a Game and Fish office.
Obvious road kills should not be reported.
The Wyoming Department of Health says
the only evidence of West Nile virus in the
state was from one sample of mosquitoes
collected in Goshen County.

Social Security’s $300M IT project doesn’t work
WASHINGTON (AP) — After spending nearly $300 million on a new computer system to handle disability
claims, the Social Security
Administration still can’t get it to
work. And officials can’t say when it
will.
Six years ago, Social Security
embarked on an aggressive plan to
replace outdated computer systems
overwhelmed by a growing flood of
disability claims. But the project has
been racked by delays and mismanagement, according to an internal
report commissioned by the agency.
Today, the project is still in the testing phase, and the agency can’t say
when it will be operational or how
much it will cost.
In the meantime, people filing for
disability claims face long delays at
nearly every step of the process —
delays that were supposed to be
reduced by the new processing system.
“The program has invested $288 million over six years, delivered limited
functionality, and faced schedule
delays as well as increasing stakeholder concerns,” said a report by
McKinsey and Co., a management
consulting firm.
As a result, agency leaders have
decided to “reset” the program in an
effort to save it, the report said. As
part of that effort, Social Security
brought in the outside consultants
from McKinsey to figure out what
went wrong.
They found a massive technology
initiative with no one in charge — no
single person responsible for complet-
ing the project. They issued their
report in June, though it was not publicly released.
As part of McKinsey’s recommendations, Acting Social Security
Commissioner Carolyn Colvin
appointed Terrie Gruber to oversee
the project last month. Gruber had
been an assistant deputy commissioner.
‘The program has invested
$288 million over six years,
delivered limited functionality, and
faced schedule delays as well as
increasing stakeholder concerns.’
Management consulting firm report
McKinsey and Co.
“We asked for this, this independent
look, and we weren’t afraid to hear
what the results are,” Gruber said in
an interview Wednesday. “We are
absolutely committed to deliver this
initiative and by implementing the
recommendations we obtained independently, we think we have a very
good prospect on doing just that.”
The revelations come at an awkward
time for Colvin. President Barack
Obama nominated Colvin to a full sixyear term in June, and she now faces
confirmation by the Senate. Colvin
was deputy commissioner for 3½
years before becoming acting commis-
sioner in February 2013.
The House Oversight Committee is
also looking into the program, and
whether Social Security officials tried
to bury the McKinsey report. In a letter to Colvin on Wednesday, committee leaders requested all documents
and communications about the computer project since March 1.
The letter was signed by Rep.
Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the
Oversight committee, and Reps. Jim
Jordan, R-Ohio, and James Lankford,
R-Okla. They called the project “an IT
boondoggle.”
The troubled computer project is
known as the Disability Case
Processing System, or DCPS. It was
supposed to replace 54 separate, antiquated computer systems used by
state Social Security offices to process
disability claims. As envisioned,
workers across the country would be
able to use the system to process
claims and track them as benefits are
awarded or denied and claims are
appealed.
But as of April, the system couldn’t
even process all new claims, let alone
accurately track them as they wound
their way through the system, the
report said. In all, more than 380 problems were still outstanding, and users
hadn’t even started testing the ability
of the system to handle applications
from children.
“The DCPS project is adrift, the
scope of the project is ambiguous, the
project has been poorly executed, and
the project’s development lacks leadership,” the three lawmakers said in
their letter to Colvin.

Barry Goldwater 2.0
F
ifty Julys ago, up the
road near San Francisco,
in the unfortunately
named Cow Palace, the
Republican National
Convention gave its presidential nomination to Arizona
Sen. Barry Goldwater, who
knew he would lose:
Americans were not going to
have a third president in 14
months. Besides, his don’tfence-me-in
libertarian
conservatism was
ahead of its
time. His
agenda,
however,
was to
change his
GEORGE
party’s
WILL
national
brand.
|
Today, in
this state
where one in eight
Americans lives, and where
Democratic presidential candidates can reap 55 electoral
votes without spending a
dime or a day campaigning,
the Republicans’ gubernatorial candidate has an agenda
and spirit similar to
Goldwater’s. Neel Kashkari
is not, as some careless commentary suggests, an antiGoldwater, diluting the state
party’s conservatism. He is
Goldwater 2.0, defining conservatism a half-century on.
He relishes “turning
upside down” the parties’
stereotypes. The Democratic
candidate, 76-year-old Gov.
Jerry Brown, is “the old
white guy.” Kashkari, the 40year-old son of Indian immigrants, was born in 1973, the
year before Brown was first
elected governor. Brown is a
child of the establishment —
his father, Pat, California’s
32nd governor, was defeated
in 1966 by Ronald Reagan.
Jerry Brown, California’s
34th and 39th governor, is a
government lifer, having
been secretary of state, attorney general and Oakland’s
mayor when not unsuccessfully seeking a U.S. Senate
seat and the presidency
(three times).
Kashkari prospered in the
private sector, a place as foreign to Brown as Mongolia.
Born in Ohio, Kashkari studied mechanical engineering
at the University of Illinois,
came to California to work
in the aerospace industry,
then earned an MBA from
Wharton, joined Goldman
Sachs and landed a
Washington job with a
Goldman Sachs alumnus,
Treasury Secretary Henry
Paulson. As a treasury official during one of the most
dangerous periods in the
United States’ economic history, from July 2006 to May
2009, Kashkari says: “I saw
the best in our political system.”
He remembers that, with a
liquidity-deprived financial
system pushing the nation to
the precipice of a depression, Senate Minority Leader
Mitch McConnell simply
said, “Of course we’ll find a
way to get this done.” The
politically perilous but
nation-saving business of
bailing out the banking system was done in days. “What

world,” Kashkari asks, “can
move that fast to deal with a
crisis?”
Just as McConnell’s opponent in this year’s Kentucky
Republican primary execrated McConnell’s finest hour,
Kashkari’s primary opponent vociferously deplored
Kashkari’s role as administrator of the Troubled Asset
Relief Program (TARP). This
opponent, a factually challenged fire-breather (of illegal immigration, he said,
“We are in a war”), also said
Kashkari supports sharia
law. That would be peculiar
for a Hindu who calls himself “a libertarian socially”
(he is pro-choice and prosame-sex marriage) and lives
in Southern California’s culturally relaxed Laguna
Beach.
Today, California is a oneparty state: Democrats have
2-to-1 majorities in both legislative chambers and
account for 40 of 55 members
of Congress. Republicans
hold no statewide office and
have only 28 percent of voters registered by party. All of
this has something to do
with these facts: California
has the nation’s highest
income tax, sales tax and
poverty rate (adjusted for the
cost of living) and the second-highest gasoline tax.
Only four states have higher
unemployment rates.
Kashkari says California’s
“U-6 unemployment rate” —
which includes unemployed
people seeking full-time jobs,
part-time workers who want
full-time jobs and people too
discouraged to seek jobs — is
more than 16 percent.
Running against Brown
requires discerning silver
linings on black clouds.
Kashkari says of polls showing Brown leading 52 percent
to 32 percent: Well, 100 percent of Californians know
who Brown is, so 48 percent
are looking for an alternative.
Kashkari promises to
derail Brown’s obsession —
the (at least) $68 billion San
Francisco-to-Los Angeles
bullet train. Brown has been
silent about the recent court
decision striking down the
tenure system that entrenches incompetent public school
teachers. The public likes the
decision; teachers unions
loathe it. Brown, Kashkari
says dryly, has “multiple
owners.”
“If I get Jerry on a debate
stage,” Kashkari says, “anything can happen.” That is
true, as is this: Goldwater
lost 44 states but won the
future. His conservative
cadre captured the GOP,
which won five of the next
six and seven of the next 10
presidential elections. If
California becomes a purple
state and Democrats can no
longer assume its 20 percent
of 270 electoral votes,
Republicans nationwide will
be indebted to the immigrants’ son who plucked up
Goldwater’s banner of conservatism with a Western
libertarian flavor.

Limousine liberalism’s good works
s it hypocritical for a really, really
rich person to object to rising
inequality? I’ve been thinking
about this in light of the derision the Clintons are facing for
charging six-figure speaking fees
while pontificating about income
polarization and the plight of the
poor.
Other high-income, high-networth figures have been similarly
mocked for
expressing concerns about a
growing income
and wealth imbalance that benefited them. Among
the targeted
upper-crusters
are Goldman
CATHERINE
Sachs chief execRAMPELL
utive Lloyd
Blankfein, who
|
said in a recent
interview that
“too much of the [gross domestic
product] over the last generation
has gone to too few of the people”;
Warren Buffett, the Oracle of
Omaha, who has advocated higher
tax rates on high-earners such as
himself and consistently decried
rising inequality; and Paul
Krugman, the Nobel-winning economist and New York Times columnist who will soon receive $25,000 a
month from an institute that studies income inequality.
These economic elites aren’t
alone in balking at rising inequality. A rare survey of 1 percenters
found that nearly two-thirds
believe “differences in income in
America are too large,” according
to research by Benjamin I. Page,
Larry M. Bartels and Jason
Seawright. That’s almost identical
to the share of the general population that espouses this view.
Given the e-mails I received when
I wrote last week about Chelsea
Clinton’s lucrative speaking gigs,

lots of people see this sort of “limousine liberalism” as, if not outright hypocrisy, at least a sign of
cognitive dissonance. The implication is that to credibly care about
— and advocate on behalf of —
poor people, you need to take a vow
of poverty yourself.
I find this view highly problematic.
First of all, when low-income
people do jump on the soapbox
about raising taxes on the rich or
expanding the social safety net,
they’re usually accused of class
warfare. But more important, the
poor, unlike billionaires, don’t get a
lot of airtime.
Pretty much every time a rich
person sneezes, a banner headline
sprouts. Some of this outsize influence over the public discourse
comes from the fact that very rich
people tend to be more politically
active than the typical American.
Billionaires have the resources to
spritz their agendas throughout the
airwaves, and when they ask the
White House for a meeting, they
can be pretty sure they will be
accommodated . But some of their
influence reflects the fact that regular Americans, for whatever reason, put a lot of stock in what rich
people think, no matter how inane
such commentary might be. We listen when Kim Kardashian prattles
on about “having it all” and when
Tom Perkins mouths off about
apportioning votes according to
taxes paid. Why? Because, as Tevye
the Milkman wisely surmised,
“When you’re rich, they think you
really know.”
Given this state of affairs, I
would much rather the megarich
wield their wealth and influence to
try to improve conditions for the
working class, rather than to further pad their pocketbooks.
Of course, when it comes to
inequality, these two goals are not
necessarily mutually exclusive.
Blankfein’s objections to rising
inequality, for example, could be
said to represent a sort of enlightened self-interest, as he emphasized that he thinks the yawning
income gap is politically “destabilizing” and could lead to legislative
gridlock and slower economic
growth — all of which potentially
affect his own well-being.
But for some rags-to-riches
moguls — including Blankfein and
Bill Clinton, both of whom grew up
poor — objections to economic
inequity may also reflect a fear that
the system is now stacked against
the kinds of people they once were.
As social structures ossify and the
income ladder becomes more rickety, the son of a postal clerk, growing up in a Brooklyn housing project, might never again be able to
rise to become the chief executive
of one of the United States’ biggest
financial institutions.
Amassing a great fortune can
lead to a very different outlook on
life. For some, success begets contempt for those not similarly situated, those lazy schmoes who didn’t
manage to lift themselves up by
their own bootstraps. (One recent
study of lottery winners, for example, found that a financial windfall
typically leads people to become
less egalitarian-minded and more
approving of the existing distribution of wealth.) But for others,
proximity to poor and workingclass Americans can be a constant
reminder that there but for the
grace of God go they. The term I’d
use for a 1 percenter who expresses
concern about the wages, economic
opportunities and safety nets available to the 99 percent is not
hypocrisy; it’s empathy.

Chicago police arrest man
in 11-year-old’s death
CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago police say they’ve arrested a man in the slaying of an 11-year-old girl who was
struck in the head by a stray bullet while at a sleepover
last week.
Janel Sedevic, a Chicago police spokeswoman, says
the man has been arrested on a first-degree murder
charge and will be formally charged Thursday. She provided no other details.
Sedevic says Superintendent Garry McCarthy will
discuss the arrest at a Thursday morning news conference.
Shamiya Adams was making s’mores at a friend’s
house in the West Garfield Park neighborhood on July
18 when she was struck by a bullet. She died early the
next morning.
Police have said the gunman may have been firing at

Former Cowboys RB
Newhouse
dies at 64
DALLAS (AP) — Robert
Newhouse, who played running
back for the Dallas Cowboys for
12 seasons and went to three
Super Bowls, has died. He was
64.
Newhouse’s son, Rodd
Newhouse, says his father died
Tuesday at Mayo Clinic in
Rochester, Minnesota, after a battle with heart disease.
Newhouse had suffered a
stroke in 2010.
The burly running back was
drafted by the Cowboys in 1972
out of the University of
Houston, where he ran for 1,757
yards as a senior, a school record
that still stands.
Newhouse ran for 4,784 yards
in his career with Dallas. He
retired in 1983 after playing in
three Super Bowls with some of
the Cowboys greatest teams,
including the 1976 NFL champions.
In the 1977 Super Bowl victory
against Denver, Newhouse threw
a touchdown pass.
Family spokesman:
Ex-Oregon Gov. Vic
Atiyeh dies
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Vic
Atiyeh, Oregon’s last Republican
governor who shepherded the
state through a deep recession
during two terms in the 1980s,
died Sunday night, a family
spokesman said.
The former governor died at
8:15 p.m. PDT at Portland’s
Providence St. Vincent Medical
Center of complications from
renal failure, said Denny Miles,
who had formerly served as
Atiyeh’s press secretary.
He said that Atiyeh was at
home but had returned to the
hospital Saturday due to shortness of breath and possible
internal bleeding.
The son of a Syrian immigrant, Atiyeh turned down an
offer to play for the Green Bay
Packers to take over his family’s
rug business. He entered politics
in the Oregon Legislature, then
ran for governor and won on a
platform of cutting taxes.
He wound up raising taxes
because of the recession, but
was also remembered for cutting
his own salary as governor three
times to help balance the budget.
Atiyeh lamented the poor roll
of the dice that made him governor during a recession.
“I don’t want to sound defensive about it, but what you get is
criticism during the period when
times are bad, and then when
times become good, it’s just the
nature of things,” Atiyeh told an
interviewer days before leaving
office.
Democratic Gov. John
Kitzhaber said Atiyeh was both a
mentor and a friend, calling him
“a great Oregonian, an historic
governor, and a remarkable
human being.”
Kitzhaber added: “He will be
greatly missed, yet his steady
leadership, gentle spirit, and love
for our state lives on in the many
contributions he made to
Oregon.”
House Republican Leader Mike
McLane said the former governor was the epitome of a public
servant.
“He was our example,” McLane
said. “He will be missed by all of
us.”
Atiyeh, a mainstream
Republican who championed
small state government and
allowing citizens to be “left
alone,” lost his first run for governor in 1974 to Democrat Bob
Straub. He challenged Straub
again four years later and won,
taking office in 1979 as Oregon
underwent what was then its
most severe recession since the
Great Depression.
The state jumped from among
the fastest growing in the country to one with a dwindling population as environmental regulations helped doom the oncemighty timber industry.
He championed a significant
tax cut plan that included both a
rebate and a permanent reduction. Within a year, as the recession took hold, some supporters
of Atiyeh’s tax plans had buyer’s
remorse as the state budget took
a hit.
Atiyeh pushed Oregon’s universities away from forestry,
mining and agriculture to electrical engineering and international trade, and slightly boosted
their budgets.
Today’s Highlight in
History:
On July 24, 1974, the
Supreme Court unanimously
ruled that President Richard
Nixon had to turn over subpoenaed White House tape
recordings to the Watergate
special prosecutor.
On this date:
In 1783, Latin American
revolutionary Simon Bolivar
was born in Caracas,
Venezuela.
In 1862, Martin Van Buren,
the eighth president of the
United States, and the first to
have been born a U.S. citizen,
died at age 79 in Kinderhook,
New York, the town where he
was born in 1782.
In 1866, Tennessee became
the first state to be readmitted
to the Union after the Civil
War.
In 1911, Yale University history professor Hiram Bingham
III found the “Lost City of the
Incas,” Machu Picchu, in Peru.
In 1923, the Treaty of
Lausanne, which settled the
boundaries of modern Turkey,
was concluded in Switzerland.
In 1937, the state of
Alabama dropped charges
against four of the nine young
black men accused of raping
two white women in the
“Scottsboro Case.”
In 1952, President Harry S.
Truman announced a settlement in a 53-day steel strike.
In 1959, during a visit to
Moscow, Vice President
Richard Nixon engaged in his
famous “Kitchen Debate” with
Soviet leader Nikita
Khrushchev.
In 1969, the Apollo 11 astronauts — two of whom had
been the first men to set foot
on the moon — splashed down
safely in the Pacific.
In 1987, Hulda Crooks, a 91year-old mountaineer from
California, became the oldest
woman to conquer Mount Fuji,
Japan’s highest peak.
In 1998, a gunman burst
into the U.S. Capitol, killing
two police officers before being
shot and captured. (The shooter, Russell Eugene Weston Jr.,
is being held in a federal mental facility.)
In 2002, nine coal miners
became trapped in a flooded
tunnel of the Quecreek Mine
in western Pennsylvania; the
story ended happily 77 hours
later with the rescue of all
nine.
Ten years ago: Without
promising what specific steps
he would take, President
George W. Bush said in his
weekly radio address that his
administration was committed
to relying on the recommendations of the September 11 commission in waging the war on
terrorism. Former Nixon
administration official Fred
LaRue, who served a prison
term for Watergate, died in
Biloxi, Mississippi, at age 75.
Five years ago: Trying to
tamp down a national uproar
over race, President Barack
Obama acknowledged using
unfortunate words in declaring that Cambridge,
Massachusetts, police had
“acted stupidly” in arresting
black scholar Henry Louis
Gates Jr., adding he’d invited
the Harvard professor and Sgt.
James Crowley, the arresting
officer, for “a beer here in the
White House.”
One year ago: The House
narrowly rejected, 217-205, a
challenge to the National
Security Agency’s secret collection of hundreds of millions of Americans’ phone
records. A high-speed train
crash outside Santiago de
Compostela in northwest
Spain killed 79 people. Pope
Francis made an emotional
plea in Aparecida, Brazil, for
Roman Catholics to shun materialism in the first public Mass
of his initial international trip
as pontiff.
Thought for Today:
“Everything has two sides —
the outside that is ridiculous,
and the inside that is solemn.”

African author and feminist

Dorothy Jean Schlicting, age 78, passed
away at her home in Banner, Wyoming on
Thursday, July 10, 2014. She was the fourth
of five children born to Alfred Harold and
Gertrude Henrietta Swanson on October
29, 1935 in Vancouver, Washington.
Dorothy Jean
It was in Finley, California on November
Schlicting
20, 1953 that she married Dana Russell
Schlicting. They made their home in
Blocksburg, California where they raised their two sons,
Steve and Bruce. In 1997 they moved to Sheridan, Wyoming to
be near their children and grandchildren. Dorothy and Dana
celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary at their home last
November.
Dorothy was primarily a homemaker, but did work outside
the home as a teacher’s aide for a number of years. She was
always a positive influence for the kids and staff at the school.
Many of “her kids” benefitted from her passion of believing
that every child should know how to read and enjoy reading.
Everywhere she went, Dorothy could light up the room with
her enthusiasm for life. After retirement she enjoyed travelling and her hobby of Ham radio, which she shared with her
husband. Every morning without fail, they would check in
with the Ham friends on the radio.
Dorothy will always be remembered for her heart of gold,
the twinkle in her eyes and the love in her hand written messages on greeting cards that arrived without fail for every
occasion. No matter the state of her health, Dorothy’s smile
never faded. She showed gratitude every moment and lived
each day to the fullest.
Dorothy is survived by her husband, Dana, her sons; Steve
(Carol) Schlicting, Bruce (Nancy) Schlicting, her grandchildren; Ben(Teresa) Schlicting, Ryan(Lindsey) Schlicting,
Sarah(Kyle) Hoffdahl, Jessica Schlicting, Aaron(Tiffany)
Schlicting and her great-grandchildren; Fern Hoffdahl, Fawn
Hoffdahl, Jake Carlson, MacKenzie Carlson, Jeremy Carlson,
Elizabeth Schlicting, Avery Schlicting, Taylor Schlicting and

Lucille Legg, 87, of Sheridan, Wyoming,
died Thursday, July 17, 2014 in Westview
Health Care Center.
Mrs. Legg was born April 19, 1927 in
Lander, Wyoming to Isaac W. and Mildred
Lucille Legg
(Chapman) Seamands. She grew up and
attended schools in Lander and graduated
from Lander Valley High School. Lucille attended floral
school in Denver, Colorado and attended Ottowa State
University in Kansas. She was accepted into medical school,
but turned it down to marry and raise her three children.
Mrs. Legg married James W. Legg on December 19, 1952 in
Lander, Wyoming.
Lucille was a secretary for the county extension agent in
Lander in the 1950’s where she met her husband. She then
owned a floral shop in Lander in the 1960’s. In 1968 the Legg’s
moved to Klamath Falls, Oregon. Lucille was a kindergarten
teacher at the Bible Baptist Church in Klamath Falls in the
early 70’s. In 1993 the Legg’s moved to Sheridan where she
resided until her death.
Mrs. Legg was active in the First Baptist Church of
Sheridan, the Mary Martha’s Bible Study, prayer chain, was a
deacon in her church in Oregon, and was a member of
NARFE.
Lucille enjoyed spending time with family, friends, camping
and fishing, hand crafts, going out to eat with special friends,
watching her baby rabbits, and especially being with her dog,
“Belle” and her cat, “Lil-Miss”.
Lucille was preceded in death by her parents, Wes and
Mildred Seamands; her husband, James Legg; brother, Wes
Seamands; and grandson Ryan Legg.
She is survived by three sons, James M. Legg, (Peggy), of

Senator: No arms to Iraq unless Congress gets information
WASHINGTON (AP) — An influential
Democratic senator threatened Thursday
to block U.S. arms sales to Iraq if Congress
doesn’t get an assessment of Iraqi forces
and assurances the weapons won’t fall into
the hands of extremist militants.
In a testy exchange, Sen. Bob Menendez
lashed out at senior State Department and
Defense Department officials testifying
before the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee that he chairs.
The New Jersey senator, who has previously held up the transfer of Apache heli-
copters to Iraq, said lawmakers haven’t
been informed about potential military
assistance to Iraq or about its troops’ capability to push back the growing insurgency
by rebels calling themselves the Islamic
State.
“You know, this committee has jurisdiction over arms sales,” Menendez said. “And
my reticence to arms sales to Iraq has in
some respects been proven true when in
fact we had much of our equipment abandoned and now in the hands of (Sunni
extremists).
“So unless you are going to give us a
sense of where the security forces are at,
moving forward, this chair is not going to
be willing to approve more arms sales so
they can be abandoned to go to the hands
of those who we are seriously concerned
about in terms of our own national security.”
The New York Times reported last week
that a classified military assessment found
it unsafe for Americans to advise Iraqi
forces given their infiltration by Sunni
extremist informants and Iran-backed
Shiite militants. Nevertheless, the State
Department’s Brett McGurk told the House
Foreign Affairs Committee on Wednesday
that options being developed for Obama are
becoming more concrete and specific.
Menendez asked McGurk and the Defense
Department’s Elissa Slotkin when the
administration intended to advise
Congress on what steps it is considering.
“We’re still working through those,”
Slotkin said, cautioning the senator
against using a “leaked half-report” as the
basis for his understanding.
IMF cuts US and global
growth forecasts for 2014
WASHINGTON (AP) — The International Monetary
Fund foresees the global economy expanding less than
it had previously forecast, slowed by weaker growth in
the United States, Russia and developing economies.
The lending organization predicted Thursday that
global growth will be 3.4 percent in 2014, below its
April forecast of 3.7 percent.
The downgrade reflects much slower expansion in
the United States. The IMF now expects just 1.7 percent U.S. growth in 2014, the weakest since the recession ended five years ago. That’s down from its April
prediction of 2.8 percent, mostly because of a sharp
weather-related contraction in the first quarter. The
U.S. economy shrank at an annual rate of 2.9 percent
in the first three months of the year.
U.S. growth should rebound to 3 percent in 2015, the
IMF said.
The IMF also slashed its outlook for Russia’s growth
to just 0.2 percent this year and 1 percent in 2015.
Russia’s conflict with Ukraine has caused a sharp drop
in foreign investment.
The IMF included its forecasts in a quarterly update
to its World Economic Outlook report.
The weaker growth estimates underscore the need
for central banks in advanced economies in the United
States and Europe to keep interest rates low, the report
said. The Federal Reserve has pegged the short-term
rate it controls at nearly zero for more than five years.
But most economists expect the Fed to start slowly
raising that rate in mid-2015.
The European Central Bank has cut its benchmark
rate to 0.15 percent, a record low. It’s also placed a negative rate on the deposits it holds for commercial
banks to try to get them to lend more.
The IMF also stressed that much of the downgraded
forecast reflects temporary factors, such as harsh winter weather and a slowdown in inventory restocking in
the United States. In a separate report Wednesday, the
IMF said it expects the U.S. economy to rebound in the
April-June quarter at a healthy 3.5 percent annual
rate. Growth should remain above 3 percent in the second half of the year, it said.
In China, consumer spending has declined as the
government has sought to reduce lending, the IMF
said. Growth in China will likely be 7.4 percent this
year, down from the IMF’s 7.6 percent forecast in April.
It will slip further, to 7.1 percent, in 2015.
But Beijing has taken steps to support growth, such
as spending more on roads and other infrastructure
and cutting taxes for small businesses, the IMF said.
That should bolster the Chinese economy in the second half of this year.

FAA lifts ban on US flights to Tel Aviv airport
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Aviation
Administration has lifted its ban on U.S. flights in and
out of Israel.
The end of the ban, which the agency had imposed out
of concern for the risk of planes being hit by Hamas
rockets, was effective at 11:45 p.m. EDT Wednesday.
“Before making this decision, the FAA worked with its
U.S. government counterparts to assess the security situation in Israel and carefully reviewed both significant
new information and measures the government of Israel
is taking to mitigate potential risks to civil aviation,” the
FAA said. “The agency will continue to closely monitor
the very fluid situation around Ben Gurion Airport and
will take additional actions as necessary.”
The FAA instituted a 24-hour prohibition Tuesday in
response to a rocket strike that landed about a mile from
Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv. The directive, which was extended Wednesday, applied only to U.S.
carriers.
United Airlines, which has two daily flights from
Newark, New Jersey, to Tel Aviv, said Thursday: “We
intend to resume service. We’re now reviewing when we
can do so.”
American Airlines — parent company of US Airways,
which has one daily flight from Philadelphia to Tel Aviv
— said: “We are in the process of assessing the situation
and will make a decision as soon as possible on when to
resume service. Other factors will be considered before
we resume — the most important being the safety of our
crew and our passengers.”
The FAA has no authority over foreign airlines operating in Israel, although the European Aviation Safety
Agency recommended Tuesday that airlines refrain from
operating flights to and from Tel Aviv. EASA lifted that
advisory Thursday, recommending that national authorities base decisions on flying to Ben Gurion “on thorough
risk assessments, in particular using risk analysis made
by operators.”
The FAA’s flight ban was criticized by the Israeli government and by Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, who
questioned whether President Barack Obama used a federal agency to impose an economic boycott on Israel.
Delta Air Lines, which diverted a jumbo jet away from
Tel Aviv before Tuesday’s ban by the FAA, will not necessarily resume flights to Israel even if U.S. authorities
declare the area safe, the airline’s CEO said before the
FAA lifted the ban.
CEO Richard Anderson said Delta would of course obey
FAA orders but would continue to make its own decisions
about safety.
“We appreciate the advice and consent and the intelligence we get, but we have a duty and an obligation above
and beyond that to independently make the right decisions for our employees and passengers,” Anderson said
on a conference call with reporters. “Even if they lift”
the prohibition on flying in and out of Ben Gurion
Airport, “we still may not go in depending on what the
facts and circumstances are.”
Anderson declined to discuss specifically how the airline would make the decision to resume the flights and
spoke only in general terms. He said the airline decides
whether flights are safe to operate “on an independent
basis, so we will evaluate the information we have and we
will make the judgment that our passengers and employees rely on us to make for them every day.”
The CEO of Middle East carrier Emirates said after the
shoot-down in Ukraine of a Malaysia Airlines jet last
week that global airlines need better risk assessment
from international aviation authorities. Delta, however,
seemed more inclined to go it alone.
“We have a broad and deep security network around the
world,” Anderson said. “We have security directors that
work for Delta in all the regions of the world, and we
have a very sophisticated capability and methodology to
manage these kinds of risks, whether it’s this or a volcano or a hurricane.”

Rockies snap 7-game skid, beat Nationals 6-4
DENVER (AP) — The Colorado Rockies tried a little bit of everything to break out of their funk. They wore their socks high and
even engaged in a pregame staring contest.
Turns out, the best cure for their slump was simply the left arm
of Jorge De La Rosa.
De La Rosa struck out a season-high 11 as he pitched efficiently
into the eighth inning and the wobbly Colorado bullpen held off
Washington’s late rally, helping the Rockies snap a seven-game skid
with a 6-4 win over the Nationals on Wednesday.
LaTroy Hawkins got out of a bases loaded jam in the ninth to
protect De La Rosa’s fine effort.
De La Rosa (11-6) was one strikeout away from matching his
career high set in 2009. He kept the Nationals guessing by effectively mixing in a changeup with his 89-mph cutter.
“All my pitches were working really good today,” said De La Rosa,
who allowed two runs — one earned — before being lifted for a
reliever with one out in the eighth. “My command of all my pitch-
es was really good today.”
The Rockies decided as a team to wear their socks high, just to
try something new. Even manager Walt Weiss followed the trend.
This helped ease the tension, too: Prior to the first pitch, Rockies
outfielder Brandon Barnes and Nationals reliever Aaron Barrett
engaged in quite a stare-down, with both players standing near the
dugout holding their hats over their chest to see who would blink
first.
After several minutes, Barnes finally gestured toward Barrett
that they settle it with a game of rock-paper-scissor. Right after De
La Rosa’s warmup pitches, home plate umpire Paul Emmel told
Barnes go into the dugout, with Barrett throwing his hands up in
triumph.
“We’ll do any stare-down to win games, for sure,” joked Nolan
Arenado.
Once again, De La Rosa mastered a park that typically isn’t
friendly to pitchers. He’s 42-14 lifetime at Coors Field.
Mavrakis shooting for Team Wyoming
Local star to
compete in Junior
America’s Cup
BY MIKE PRUDEN
THE SHERIDAN PRESS
SHERIDAN — Tiger Woods. Phil
Mickelson. Fred Couples. What do all of
these names have in common? Besides
being three of the top golfers in the world,
they all made a stop at the Junior
America’s Cup on their way to wildly successful professional careers.
Jack Mavrakis hopes to follow in their
footsteps.
The Sheridan High School senior will
join Easton Paxton, Jordan Costello and
John Murdock IV as Team Wyoming travels to Vancouver, British Columbia next
week for the 42nd Junior America’s Cup at
Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club.
The Junior America’s Cup, which began
in 1973, brings together the top junior
golfers in a field of 17 teams representing
12 western states, two Canadian Provinces
and Mexico.
The team results are based on the lowest
three gross scores of the four team members, but players compete for individual
honors as well.
In order to make the team, the players
must compete in two 36-hole qualifying
tournaments across the state. The three
players with the lowest three rounds make
the JAC team. The final team member is
selected by team captain Matt Ebzery to
complete the foursome.
It’s been four years in the making, but
Mavrakis’s scores from the two qualifying
tournaments were enough to put him on
this year’s team.
“I’ve been trying to qualify for four
years, so I’m proud I made the team,”
Mavrakis said. “I like getting to wear the
Wyoming stuff and representing
Wyoming.”
He even received some advice from
another local golfer who has had some
experience playing on the big stage.
Former Sheridan High School and current Nicholls State University golfer
Taylor Reed, who played for Wyoming at
the 2010 JAC, sent Mavrakis a text encouraging him to be himself.
“It said: ‘just go out and play your game,
and be happy that you’re going. It’ll be the
time of your life,’” Mavrakis said of the
text he received from Reed.
But despite the words of encouragement,
Mavrakis isn’t denying the fact that
there’s going to be plenty of pressure playing in such a big tournament.
Last year’s winner, Jonah Texeira, finished 13-under after his three rounds, helping team San Diego to a 21-under and a
first-place finish.
Mavrakis understands how tough the
competition is, which makes his preparation that much more crucial.
Although he says it comes down to just
putting in as much work as he can,
Mavrakis has tailored his workout to the
style of the course, which he described as
really long, really tight and full of trees.
Yikes.
“You can’t miss by a lot,” he said. “I’ve
worked on my swing plane the most,
because that’s the most important thing on
a long and tight course.”
He’s also channeled his inner 6-year-old
and played a bit of make-believe on the
driving range, as well.
“Sometimes when I’m hitting range
balls, I’ll pretend I’m on the first tee,” he
said when asked about his mental preparation. “I’ll picture the fairway in my head,

and that actually puts some pressure on,
and that helps.”
‘I’ve worked on my swing the most,
because that’s the most important thing
on a long and tight course.’
Jack Mavrakis
Local golfer
Although his goals might not be as lofty
as some of the wedges in his Nike golf bag,
Mavrakis definitely has high expectations
for himself.
He isn’t expecting to break the course
record; he isn’t expecting to win the tournament, although he wouldn’t be disappointed
with either. He’s just hoping to play his
game and post a score that any golfer would
be happy with: even par or lower.
“I’ve never played the course, so I have no
idea what to expect,” he said. “I’m assum-
ing that if they’re having a nationwide
tournament there, if I’m somewhere
around even or under, I’d be really happy
with that.”
Although the course may play differently
than last year’s Cup in Hawaii did,
Mavrakis hopes he can help Wyoming
improve on their 14th-place finish from a
year ago.
Luckily, two of his teammates played on
last year’s team.
Paxton and Costello posted scores of +12
and +11 last year, respectively, but their
experience is something that has helped
Mavrakis prepare and calm his nerves.
“They said it’s their favorite tournament
they’ve played in, and they’ve played in a
lot of tournaments,” he said. “They’re really excited. All three of my teammates are
really good guys, so they’ll help take pressure off, too.”
Mavrakis will take to the first tee on
Monday and play through Wednesday, as he
and Team Wyoming try to inflict some damage to the scoreboard at the 42nd Junior
America’s Cup.

Broncos
Denver owner giving
up control due to
Alzheimer’s
OD, Colo. (AP) — Even as dementia began to rob him of some of his
fondest memories over the past few
years, Denver Broncos owner Pat
Bowlen reported to work every day
to oversee multimillion-dollar
upgrades to the team’s training
facilities and roster.
So his absence from Dove Valley
headquarters on Wednesday as
players reported for physicals on
the eve of training camp was as jarring as the announcement that the
70-year-old Bowlen was giving up
control of the team because of
Alzheimer’s disease.
“This place will never be the
same,” a choked-up general manager John Elway said. “... It’s going to
be very hard to not see him walk
through the front doors every day.”
Yet, Elway and team president
Joe Ellis pledged to continue
Bowlen’s legacy and winning culture he fostered during his long
stewardship of the franchise.
Ellis is adding the title of chief
executive officer and will have final
say on all matters.
“Mr. Bowlen has entrusted Joe to
take his spot and he couldn’t have
appointed a better guy to step in for
Pat,” Elway said. “Joe’s a guy that
bleeds orange and blue.”
Ownership of the franchise is
held in a trust Bowlen set up more
than a decade ago in hopes that one
of his seven children will one day
run the team, Ellis said Bowlen
asked him to run that trust.
Elway, who brought Bowlen two
Super Bowl rings during his Hall of
Fame playing career, demurred
when asked if he aspired to one day
own the team.
“That family owns the Broncos.
Pat Bowlen still owns the Broncos.
We have total respect for that,”
Elway said. “They’ve hired me to
run the football operations and I’m
thrilled to do that. I work for Pat
still, as well as the Bowlen family,
and I’m going to continue to do
that.”
Ellis said that with Bowlen no
longer able to run the team, the
community and fan base deserved
to know what was going on, so the
family agreed to make public the
condition he’s dealt with privately
for several years.
“Alzheimer’s has taken so much
from Pat, but it will never take
away his love for the Denver
Broncos and his sincere appreciation for the fans,” Bowlen’s wife,
Annabel, said in a statement.
After acknowledging in 2009 that
he suffered short-term memory
loss, Bowlen stepped back from
day-to-day operations in 2011 when
he promoted Ellis to president. For
the first time this offseason, Ellis
represented the Broncos at the
annual owners meetings.
Under Bowlen’s guidance, the
Broncos won six AFC titles and two
Super Bowls. At 307-203-1, Bowlen
and New York Giants founder Tim
Mara are the only three-decade
owners in pro football history to
win 60 percent of their games.
The Broncos’ 186 home victories
are the most in the NFL since he
bought the team in 1984, when
Elway was his quarterback, and the
Broncos’ five losing seasons during
those 30 years are the fewest in the
league over that span.
Bowlen was known as much for
his humility as his competitive fire,
doing his best to stay out of the
spotlight even as he built a winning
culture and a fan base that extends
throughout the Rocky Mountain
region.
He was instrumental in the
league’s explosive growth at its
longtime chairman of the broadcast committee, Ellis said, and
Elway said Bowlen deserves to be
in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
“I’d love (his bust) to be right next
to mine,” Elway said.
When Elway brought Bowlen his
first of consecutive championships
in the late 1990s, the owner took the
Lombardi Trophy in his hand at
center stage after an epic win over

There are many instances
in science (Masters and
Johnson) and the arts
(Gilbert and Sullivan,
Lennon and McCartney)
where two heads are better
than one. Another example of
the added value of two
heads? The latest CT (computed tomography) scanners.
By delivering two low-dose
X-rays at the same time, this
second generation of dualsource CT scans, also called
high-pitch spiral scans, dramatically reduces your total
radiation exposure by more
than 60 percent, compared
with earlier CT machines -and they deliver equal or better images than the older
scanners. This matters
because the use of CT scans
has more than tripled since
1996, and every CT scan zaps
you with 10 times the ionizing radiation found in a conventional X-ray. Exposure to
ionizing radiation is a known
cancer risk, but no one
knows exactly how much is
too much over the course of a
lifetime.
This lower-radiation, dualsource scanner vastly
increases the already significant usefulness of CT imaging; the scans generate a 3-D
image of the inside of your
body, providing amazing
detail of everything from a
pulsing heart to the plaque
levels inside your arteries.
And they're the current gold
standard for identifying respiratory and cardiovascular
problems, as well as many
cancers.
Dr. Roizen's Cleveland
Clinic has a new dual-source
CT scanner, but if you need a
CT scan and a second-generation dual-source model isn't

DILBERT by S. Adams
ALLEY OOP® by Dave Graue and Jack Bender
DEAR ABBY: Is it acceptable to bring a teacup-sized
dog to a wedding? The excuse
was, "Well, the wedding was
at the beach." The pre-dinner
and dancing were inside a
high-end resort on the beach.
The dog was taken
inside these establishments.
After a guest -- a
family member of the
dog's owner -- asked
the owner to remove
the animal because
the occasion was not
about her and her dog
but the bride and
groom's day, the
owner put the dog in
a carrying case and
the dog returned to
the wedding for the
rest of the night. Only
this one couple made
an issue of it and they
weren't in the wedding party, but relations of
the dog owner. What do you
think? -- DOGGONE DISGUSTED
DEAR DOGGONE DISGUSTED: The rule of etiquette states that nothing
should distract attention
from the happy couple -- and
especially the bride -- at the
wedding. However, IF the dog
owner had first asked for and
received permission to bring
the animal to the festivities,
then it wasn't rude and the
relatives of the dog owner
were wrong to intervene.
DEAR ABBY: We were
recently at dinner with longtime friends whose political
views are different from ours.
I believe in the rule of etiquette about avoiding the topics of politics and religion in
mixed company. Well, somehow the conversation turned
political. Voices were raised
and I stood up and ended it.
There are now many hurt
feelings with the parties
involved still disagreeing
about what happened and
how it was handled. I know
my actions were extreme, but
things were out of control
and I was upset. How do I
deal with this if we are invited to future events? -- KEEPING THE PEACE
DEAR KEEPING THE
PEACE: You may be worrying needlessly, because you
may not be invited to future
events -- at least until the
next election is over.
Whatever your friends were
arguing about, while you had
a right to speak up and say it
was making you uncomfortable, because your reaction
was "extreme," you may have
been as rude as the others. If
you caused hurt feelings that
evening, you should apologize, if you haven't already.
DEAR ABBY: A sibling
died recently and I have
received numerous sympathy
messages in the form of
cards, gifts and online posts.
Do the people who send them
typically expect a response? I
feel a little overwhelmed
with the amount of attention, and I worry that they'll
think I'm not appreciative if
I don't respond in kind. What
is your advice? -- GRIEVING
BUT GRATEFUL
DEAR GRIEVING BUT
GRATEFUL: Their kindness
should be acknowledged. To
those who sent gifts and
cards, a short note saying
how much their support
meant during this difficult
time would be a gracious
response. The online condolences could be handled with
one email "blast" conveying
the same thing, which
shouldn't be offensive to
those who sent their sympathy that way.

Abigail Van Buren, also

Hints from Heloise
Wonderful Wicker
Dear Heloise: I have some
WICKER FURNITURE. It is
dirty, and I was wondering
what is the best way to clean it.
-- Cheryl, via email
Wicker is wonderful! If it's indoor furniture, then all you
need to do is pull out your vacuum and use the brush/upholstery attachment. Also, take
the furniture outside if you
can, and turn it upside down to
really shake loose some of the
dust. If it needs a deeper clean,
mix 2 pints of cool water and 1
tablespoon of salt, and apply to
the wicker using a damp
sponge or microfiber cloth.
Don't overwet; just wipe. After
the solution has dried, scrub
with a soft-bristled brush.
Rinse with clean water on a
clean cloth and let dry.
This should get your wicker
clean. For the future, dust or
vaccum the piece often to keep
dirt and dust from accumulating. -- Heloise
RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION
Dear Heloise: A friend has an
elderly mother who can no
Heloise
longer safely drive. Taking her
car away was very traumatic
for this involved and active
lady. So as not to stifle her
mother's interests and assure
safe transportation, the daughter contracted with a local taxi
company to take her to the
places she needs or desires to
go. The daughter and the cab
company agreed on a set
amount of money, and the company agreed to use the same
three drivers so she would recognize them. A win-win for all.
-- C.B., Huntington Beach,
Calif.
A win-win hint for sure! Yay
for both parties -- they worked
it out! -- Heloise
SLOW FAUCETS
Dear Heloise: A couple of our
bathroom faucets started letting out noticeably less water
when we turned them on. My
husband took out the aerator
screens and showed me all the
sediment on them. To get the
sediment off, he soaked them in
vinegar for a couple of hours,
and the faucets were like new. - Tina W. in Texas
Aerators can get clogged, es-
pecially if you have hard water,
as we do here in San Antonio.
Many times, just rinsing them
under water will remove the
dirt and sediment. However,
for stubborn gunk, my beloved
vinegar is just the answer. Just
be sure not to soak any stainless-steel parts, or they can end
up pitted. Vinegar has so many
uses! I wrote my Heloise's
Fantabulous Vinegar Hints and
More pamphlet, which you can
order by sending $5 and a long,
self-addressed, stamped (70
cents) envelope to:
Heloise/Vinegar, P.O. Box
795001, San Antonio, TX 782795001. Add 1 cup of apple-cider
vinegar to bath water. Makes
your skin (and tub) squeaky
clean! -- Heloise
STICKING SHELF LINER
Dear Heloise: I line my
shelves with self-sticking shelf
liner, but I have a hard time
getting it to stick without air
bubbles. I developed a new
method. I remove the backing
only from the edges, and I leave
the center. Then when I place it
on the shelf, only the edges
stick. -- Carol in Florida

Bridge
20): Keeping lines of communication open by being
fair and non-judgmental
could earn you more than
your fair share of good will
and appreciation. Late
evening is perfect for handholding and warm kisses.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
Daily life is busy. Sometimes friends or loved ones
end up on the sidelines. Let
someone know you still
care, and restore contact
when you can. Remember
that kindness only takes a
few minutes out of your
busy day.
CANCER (June 21-July
22): Play hard to get if you
want to get caught up in
love. When you're actively
looking for romance, every
signal seems like an open
invitation. You may seem
quite attractive to a large
number of potential part-
ners.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):
Lucky breaks are in the
stars. Chance meetings
could put dollars in your
wallet or a smile on your
face. This is a great time to
meet someone new who has
romantic moments in mind,
or to make a major purchase.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
It pays to keep your options
open. Your business skills
might be enhanced because
you have wise guidance
from someone with experience. Don't put all your eggs
in one basket or put your
money on the line.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
Try to be more sensitive to
the delicate feelings of
someone who thinks the
world of you. Someone
yearns for more romance in
life and an escape from the

THE
LENGTH
OUTWEIGHS
THE
WEAKNESS
Lucius Annaeus
Seneca, a Roman
philosopher, statesman
and dramatist, said,
"Life's like a play: it's not
the length, but the excellence of the acting that
matters."
A bridge deal is often
not like a play, because
it is the length (of a suit)
that matters.
In this example, how
should South plan the
play in four hearts after
West leads the club
queen?
South, with two aces
and 11 points, was right
to open one heart, not
two hearts. North's jump
to four hearts was aggressive. A game-invitational three hearts
would have been nor-
mal. But South would
surely have passed and
ruined the play ... er, column.
South starts with four
losers: one spade, one diamond and two clubs.
He has nine winners: six
hearts, two diamonds
and one club. His only
realistic chance is to establish dummy's spade
suit. For that, he needs
to find the spades splitting 4-3 and to have four
dummy entries: three
for spade ruffs in his
hand and one to get back
to the dummy (after
drawing trumps) to cash
the 13th spade.
South must act immediately, winning the first
trick with his club ace
and leading his spade.
Let's assume East
takes the trick, cashes
his club king, and plays
his last club. West wins
and shifts to a diamond.
Declarer wins in the
dummy, ruffs a spade,
plays a low heart to

BIRTHDAY GUY: Actor
David Denman was born in
Newport Beach, Calif.,
today in 1973. This birthday
guy is known to TV fans for
his recurring roles on "Parenthood," "The Office" and
"Drop Dead Diva." He's also
appeared on episodes of
"Person of Interest," "In
Plain Sight," and "Brothers
and Sisters." On the big
screen, Denman has had
roles in such films as "After
Earth," "Fanboys" and "Big
Fish."
ARIES (March 21-April
19): Physical activities dust
away mental cobwebs.
Stretch your muscles with a
walk or by participating in
sports. An acquaintance
might hope to take a relationship to a more intimate
level. Tame the urge to go to
extremes.
TAURUS (April 20-May
Autos-Accessories
dummy's 10, ruffs a
spade high, leads another trump to dummy's
king, ruffs a third spade,
and cashes the heart ace.
When everything passes
off perfectly, South leads
a diamond to dummy
and cashes the remaining spade, discarding his
last diamond. Excellent!

mundane. Serve dinner by
candlelight or perform a
thoughtful act.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.
21): Earn it, don't spend it.
You could be lucky enough
to be at the right place at
the right time. Money could
flow into your bank account
over the next few days if
you follow up on phone
calls or make sales presentations.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Calm the waters.
You may be called upon to
allay someone's fears or
doubts. Having faith in the
grand design of the universe and in the intangible
will serve you well. You
work well from the sidelines.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): Birds of a feather always flock together; look
around and make note of
who's been perching at your
birdfeeder all along. Don't
be deterred by someone's
domineering exterior, as
there are probably tender
feelings beneath.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18): The focus is on your
counterpart. The direction
your life is heading could be
in the hands of someone
else at the moment, but rest
assured that you're hooked
up with someone generous
and good hearted.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20): A stroke of genius could
put you and a partner on
the same track. If you put
your heads together, you
can both enjoy financial
success. It's a great time to
discuss plans for the future,
as long as you avoid impetuous actions.
IF JULY 25 IS YOUR
BIRTHDAY: You may feel
like you're being showered
with blessings during the
next 4-6 weeks. Take this as
a positive omen of good timing, during which you can
launch permanent improvements in your life or make
wise decisions. In early August, you may have second
thoughts or make some
false starts as you run
against the currents or oppose authority figures. In
September and October,
your romantic nature hits a
high note and you might
enjoy a romantic weekend
or vacation with a special
someone. You can reach for
the stars with career matters. October is the best
time to implement changes
with your business, finances or career, as you
have what it takes to act
shrewdly.

Guide diaries: No swimmin’ in the fishin’ hole
O
ver the past few years, I’ve had a number of folks, both
locally and nationally, ask about whether I’d ever
return to the professional fishing guide business again.
After long consideration, I finally decided this spring to
get back on the water and start earning a bit more income for
my family.
When I obtained my first guide license in 1978, the application took about five minutes to complete. The issued
license came back from the Board of Outfitters within a
couple days, I got my outfitter to sign it, and off I went.
Things are, of course, quite different in today’s world.
(The newspaper doesn’t ask me for a political commentary,
so I won’t give you my opinion on the
“changed world” we live in). Suffice it to
say that today’s guide application in
Montana is three pages long, and asks for
documentation about every professional/occupational license I ever held in any
state, along with every traffic ticket
and/or fish/game violation I may have
ever been charged with in my life. I mentioned my three minor speeding tickets
GORDON
over the last 40 years, my one fish/game
violation for forgetting to renew a motorROSE
boat registration from 24 years ago, and,
|
finally, my only other encounter with the
law in 1979. My “Unauthorized Land
Use” violation in Yellowstone, from 35 years ago, resulted
in reopening a very old “can of worms” for me.
Living in West Yellowstone in 1979 was one of the most
fun-filled and memorable years of my life. I was only 22
years old and spending the summer guiding on some of the
country’s best trout streams at the height of their productivity and popularity. Every night was spent dancing and
partying in the Frontier Club Lounge with college girls
from Idaho Falls and Bozeman. It was those night-time
activities, however, which eventually led to an uncomfortable encounter with the law enforcement Rangers of
Yellowstone National Park.
I’d met a young lady from Idaho who I was spending a lot
of time with (To protect the innocent, I’ll just refer to her
as Lady Friend). We used to go out with friends on a hot
afternoon and swim the Madison River from Baker’s Hole
down to the Bozeman highway. This was outside the Park,
and all perfectly legal. But then some of my older guide
friends, who were considered to be real “ladies’ men about
town” suggested I should take Lady Friend “Hot-Potting”
in the Park some night. I said “What? Hot-Potting?”
“Yeah,” they’d respond “That’s where you go skinny dipping at night in the warm-water stretches of the Fire Hole
River, where hot springs pour into the river and warm the
water up real nice!”
I was by far the youngest fishing guide in the area, and I
began to view this hot-potting as a “rite of passage” which
I just had to pass before I’d be fully accepted by the “established” guides in town. I did a lot of research and checking with “old-timers” in order to learn everything I could
about the “sport.” The most experienced hot-potter in
town told me he’d quit going the year before because the
Rangers had completely outlawed the practice for everywhere except the Madison Junction area just below where
the Fire Hole and Madison rivers joined together.
Swimming was legal there during daylight hours, but no
“skinny dipping” allowed! He told me his all-time favorite
spot was on the Fire Hole, just under the footbridge where
the public can cross the river on their way to the Fountain
Paint Pots viewing area on the opposite side of the river
from the parking lot. He said the Rangers would check on
the parking lot every two hours all night long. If there was

a car parked there at night, they knew they could write up
a hot potter for trespassing.
It only took me five minutes to devise a plan! I went to a
local clothing store and bought five dark olive colored wool
army blankets. I invited Lady Friend out the next night
for some exciting skinny dipping in the Fire Hole around
midnight. We drove to the Fountain Parking lot, and then
slipped my car onto an old dirt maintenance road which
had long since been closed. The closed road entered a
thick stand of trees just off the main parking lot: a perfect
spot to hide my car and cover it with the blankets! My
plan went off without a hitch! How nice it was to sit in the
river, under the foot-bridge, and relax in the wonderfully
comfortable 90 degree water warmed by runoff from the
nearby geyser basins. I couldn’t wait to tell all my friends
the next day about my accomplishments!
This went on for a few weeks until we finally got caught.
I came back to earth with a hard landing as we got back to
the car one night and a half dozen spotlights came on to
highlight us next to the car with me wearing nothing but a
couple of rolled up towels under my arm (Lady Friend
wouldn’t ever take her bikini off until I converted to
Mormonism and agreed to marry her first). The Rangers
(all five of them) told me I seemed to be a nice kid, so they

MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) — Police and the Missoula County sheriff ’s office are investigating after a man’s body was found in the Clark Fork River in Missoula.
Passers-by reported seeing the body in the water east of the California Street footbridge at about 7 p.m. Wednesday.
The body was recovered and taken to a funeral home.
Missoula County sheriff ’s spokeswoman Paige Pavalone says the man hasn’t been

agreed to combine the illegal swimming ticket with the
illegal off-road parking violation, and issue just one citation for Unauthorized Land Use and a $100 fine.
Do you know that it took me six weeks of working with
the Federal Court in Mammoth, and the National Park
Service, to document in writing to the Board of Outfitters
that my $100 debt to society had been fully paid 35 years
ago?
Lesson learned? The Fire Hole isn’t as good for trout
fishing as it was 40 years ago. There’s too much warm
water spilling into it from the geyser basins. You never
know where those warm locations are, since it changes
every few years with each minor earth tremor and the
resulting shift in the shelf-rock openings under the
streambed. Now the river is only good for “hot-potting,”
but that’s against the law, and you’ll pay a price for it!
Trust me, I know. Besides, who knows when Nature might
decide to change things from a nice “hot-pot” to a nasty
“boiling-pot”?

Supreme Court upholds
firing of Montana tourism director
HELENA, Mont. (AP) — The Montana
Supreme Court has upheld the 2010 dismissal of a former state tourism director
who was fired because the agency said she
didn’t spend millions of dollars meant to
promote tourism and filmmaking in the
state.
Elizabeth “Betsy” Baumgart was unsuccessful in arguing that her firing as administrator of the Montana Tourism and
Promotion Division was motivated by politics, not the agency’s bottom line.
Baumgart was appointed tourism director in 2002 by then-Gov. Judy Martz, a
Republican. She served in the role for eight
years until Commerce Director Tony
Preite retired. Gov. Brian Schweitzer, a
Democrat, appointed Dore Schwinden to
the post. About three weeks later, in
August 2010, he fired Baumgart, citing several reasons including that she did not
understand the budgeting process.
The agency said Baumgart left millions
of dollars unspent each year, opening the
possibility that the Legislature would
revert that money to the state general
fund.
She filed a grievance. A hearing officer
found the agency was justified in discharging Baumgart for failure to adequately
manage the budget, but rejected four other
reasons that state listed.
Baumgart filed a lawsuit arguing she was
fired without just cause, was politically
discriminated against and that the agency
violated her privacy rights and defamed
her by providing confidential employmenttermination documents to a newspaper.
A District Court judge granted the state’s
motions for summary judgment on the
political discrimination and illegal firing
claims.
Baumgart’s attorney, Michael San Souci,
said a jury should be allowed to decide
whether the state had just cause to fire
Baumgart.
The Supreme Court, in a 4-2 decision
filed Tuesday, upheld the District Court
rulings. Justice Patricia Cotter wrote that
the Commerce Department “presented
direct evidence that Baumgart failed to
appropriately manage her budget.”
In dissent, Justice Jim Rice said the
issue is not that clear and Baumgart
should be able to raise her arguments,
including that no other division head had
ever been fired for maintaining a budget
surplus.
“I believe that this evidence raises an
issue of fact as to whether Baumgart was
actually fired for maintaining a budget surplus, and whether this reason would constitute good cause in any event,” Rice
wrote.
