ROCK SPRINGS — Saving energy means saving money was
the message of a Rocky Mountain Power workshop on energy
efficiency.
Incentives take the form of
cost savings over time and cost
incentives offered by the utility
company, Rocky Mountain Power spokesman Michael Travis
said.
Travis said if people have lighting, heating, ventilation, air con-
ditioning or other or equipment
that has not been upgraded recently, they are probably costing
owners more than it should.
He said Rocky Mountain Power wants to help businesses and
homeowners save money because promoting energy-efficiency steps costs the utility a lot less
than trying to build a new dam or
another power plant. While building new utilities is very expensive
and take a lot of time to design,
permit and build, he said saving
energy can be as easy as changing bulbs or as extensive as con-
ducting a complete facility energy use audit.
He said Rocky Mountain Power will provide an incentive check
to energy users who work with it
or one of its business allies across
Wyoming after the customer has
done refits and submits project
cost documentation. For example, Travis said one financial
company in Casper received
$13,300 in incentives for lighting
upgrades in four buildings it

BLM lifts partial
fire restrictions
CASPER — Due to cooler
and wetter weather conditions
across eastern Wyoming, the
Bureau of Land Management
Casper Field Office is lifting
partial fire restrictions for
BLM- administered public
land in Converse, Platte, and
Goshen counties. Partial restrictions will be rescinded on
Oct. 26, 2011.
The following acts are no
longer prohibited on BLM land
in Converse, Platte, and
Goshen counties:
• Building, maintaining, attending, or using a fire or
campfire
except
within
agency-provided fire grates at
developed recreation sites, or
within fully enclosed stoves
with a one-quarter inch spark
arrester type screen, or within fully enclosed grills, or in
stoves using pressurized liquid or gas.
• Smoking, except in an enclosed vehicle or building, a
developed recreation site, or
while stopped in an area at
least three feet in diameter
that is barren or cleared of all
flammable materials.
• Operating a chain saw
without a USDA or SAE approved spark arrester properly
installed and working, a chemical fire extinguisher of not less
than 8 ounces capacity by
weight, and one round point
shovel with an overall length of
at least 36 inches.
• Using a welder, either arc
or gas, or operating an acetylene or other torch with open
flame, except in cleared areas
of at least 10 feet in diameter
with a chemical pressurized
fire extinguisher of not less
than 8 ounces capacity.
The following fire restrictions are in effect year-round
on BLM-administered public
lands in Wyoming. These prohibitions are:
• Discharge or use of any
fireworks.
• Discharge of a firearm using incendiary or tracer ammunition.
• Burn, ignite or cause to
burn any tire, wire, magnesium, or any other hazardous
or explosive material.
• Operate any off-road vehicle on public lands unless the
vehicle is equipped with a
properly installed spark arrester pursuant to 43 CFR
8343.1 (c).
According to BLM Fire
Management Officer Jay Esperance, “Even though we
have received moisture recently, this year’s abundant grass
crop is now fully cured and will
dry quickly if we get some
warm days this fall. When
hunting and recreating, please
be careful with campfires, and
report all wildfires immediately.”
Game and Fish to treat
Diamond Creek Dike Pond
CODY — Following the
2011 irrigation season on Nov.
2, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation will draw down Diamond Creek Dike Pond to a
level low enough to allow personnel from the Wyoming
Game and Fish Department
to treat the pond with
Rotenone, an Environmental
Protection Agency approved
chemical that is toxic for animals having gills.
Rotenone is not toxic to humans, pets, or livestock in the
quantities that will be used for
treating the pond.
Diamond Creek Dike Pond
is a 34-acre reservoir just east
of Buffalo Bill Reservoir on Diamond Creek.
“The pond is stocked annually with approximately 3,400
trout, yet our past sampling efforts found few trout — the
fishery is predominantly comprised of white and longnose
suckers,” said Jason Burckhardt, Cody region fisheries bi-
ologist.
“The abundance of suckers
is likely reducing trout survival
and growth.”
According to Burckhardt,
the reservoir has been of little
recreational value due to the
marginal fishery it provides.
“Chemical rehabilitation of
this water will likely increase
the pond’s importance as a
place to fish,” Burckhardt said.
Following the treatment, the
pond will gradually refill with
inflows from Diamond Creek.
“It will take approximately a
month before water is discharged into Buffalo Bill
Reservoir. The Rotenone used
will gradually degrade over
this period and through degradation and dilution from Diamond Creek, it will reach levels that will be nontoxic to
fish,” Burckhardt said.
The pond will be stocked
with catchable-size Yellowstone cutthroat trout in the
spring of 2012.

Southeast Wyoming pheasant
hunters to release locations
YODER — With the goal of
providing the best pheasant
hunting opportunity and maximizing the number of stocked
pheasants ending up in
hunters’ game vests, the Game
and Fish Department has selected the walk-in areas in
Goshen, Laramie, and Platte
counties that will be stocked
this fall.
These walk-in areas will be
stocked
with
pheasants:
Goshen County 19, 29, and 63;
Laramie County 21 and 34;
and Platte County 20, 23, 24,
and 51. Weather permitting,
the walk-in areas will receive
two releases per week — but
only through November this
year, due to fewer birds available for release.
Hunters are alerted that this
season hen pheasants, in addition to roosters, will be stocked
and can be taken on walk-in areas in Laramie and Platte
counties. Only roosters are legal game in Goshen County.
Rooster pheasants will also
be stocked through Nov. 26 at
the Table Mountain Habitat
Area south of Huntley. There
will be no pheasant releases
this season at Bump-Sullivan
Reservoir, due to the managed
goose hunt resuming for the
second year.
Hunters are cautioned if
they follow the stocking truck,
the driver will likely return to
the Downar Bird Farm and not
release the birds.
In addition, 527 juvenile
pheasants were also released
in Goshen County this August
by the Goshen County Rooster Boosters, an organization
dedicated to improving pheasant hunting in the area.
Game and Fish supports ‘Double
Up For The Ducks’ campaign
CHEYENNE — Ducks Unlimited is leading a campaign
to “double up for ducks” by
urging hunters and other waterfowl enthusiasts to purchase
two federal duck stamps this
waterfowl season — and the
Wyoming Game and Fish Department is supporting the
promotion.
Since its conception in 1934,
the Federal Migratory Bird
Hunting and Conservation
Stamp, commonly known as
the “duck stamp,” has generated the funds to add more than
5.3 million acres of waterfowl
habitat to the National Wildlife
Refuge System.
But the price of the stamp —
$15 — has not risen since 1991
and its buying power has decreased 64 percent over that
time. Buying two stamps helps
bring the buying power of the
stamp up to current levels, says
John Emmerich, deputy director of external affairs for the
Game and Fish.
“The federal duck stamp program is an ultra-efficient habitat program with 98 cents of
every dollar going to acquire
waterfowl habitat,” Emmerich
said. “We’ve seen the fruits of
this program with the 1993 acquisition of the Cokeville
Meadows National Wildlife
Refuge along the Bear River
north of Cokeville.”
Other
national
wildlife
refuges in Wyoming providing
waterfowl habitat include:
Bamforth,
Hutton
Lake,
Mortenson Lake, Pathfinder,
Seedskadee, and the National
Elk Refuge.
Because waterfowl habitat
supports a myriad other birds
and wildlife, both Ducks Unlimited and the department
urge all bird watchers and
wildlife enthusiasts to also buy
duck stamps.
Ducks Unlimited is currently
lobbying for legislation to increase the price of the stamp to
$25 to help allow the program’s
revenues to keep pace with inflation.
The federal duck stamp —
which this year features a
white-fronted goose — can be
purchased at post offices. The
stamp is required by all waterfowl hunters 16 and over.

radar to improve precipitation
detection and forecasting
Students Of The Week
ROCK SPRINGS: Independence High School students of the week
for Oct. 3-7 were Lakisha Campbell, left, and Drew Crouch. They
were nominated by paraprofessional Marilyn Harn. Campbell
was nominated for being a highly motivated student. She puts
in all her effort into all her classes. Campbell is always willing to
help others. Harn said, “The work ethic she possesses in school
and at her work will bring her success in reaching present and
future goals.” Crouch was nominated for being respectful to
both staff and students. He works hard to keep his grades up to
graduate at the end of the school year. Crouch makes friends
easily and helps new students feel welcome. He is also willing to
come to the aid of staff and students.
RIVERTON — The National
Weather Service Doppler radar
serving western and central
Wyoming will be enhanced with
the latest dual-polarization technology beginning Nov. 7.
Installation of the enhanced
technology will take approximately two weeks. The dual-polarization enhancement will result in
better estimation of precipitation
amount, size and type.
Dual-polarization radar technology can better detect heavy
rainfall in flooding events, improve hail detection in thunderstorms, and improve classification of precipitation types (rain,
snow, ice). It can also detect the
presence of airborne tornado debris, giving a forecaster a high degree of confidence that a damaging tornado is occurring. This
helps a forecaster confirm and
track the location of a tornado,
which is especially helpful at
night when tornadoes are difficult
to spot with the human eye.
“This is the most significant
upgrade to the nation’s weather
radar network since Doppler
radar was first installed in the early 1990s,” said Jack Hayes, director of NOAA’s National Weather
Service. “Dual-polarization technology provides significantly
more information and clearer pictures of current weather conditions, helping National Weather
Service meteorologists provide
more accurate and timely forecasts.”
Current National Weather Service radars provide forecasters information on precipitation intensity and movement (direction
and speed). Dual-polarization
technology adds new information
about the size and shape of an object, which will improve estimates
of how much rain is falling, improving flash flood detection and
warnings. During winter weather,
dual-polarization radar can tell
the difference between rain, snow,
and ice, which gives forecasters a
much better idea of what to expect at the ground.
“This radar upgrade will help
us provide better forecasts of hazardous weather for the residents
of western and central Wyoming,”
said Kevin Lynott, meteorologistin-charge of the National Weather Service Forecast Office in
Riverton. Installation will begin
on Nov. 7, 2011, requiring the
radar to be offline for about two
weeks. Installation of dual-polarization technology in all 122 National Weather Service radars is
expected to be completed in 2013.
Dual polarization technology is a major upgrade to the existing
radars, which only transmit and receive information in the horizontal direction. Dual polarization technology, in addition to the horizontal, transmits and receives energy in the vertical plane, providing a
two-dimensional picture of what type of precipitation is actually out
there.
Thirty-eight other Doppler radars
owned by the Air Force and Federal Aviation Administration will
also be upgraded.
The National Weather Service
is the primary source of weather
data, forecasts, and warnings for
the United States and its territories. It operates the most advanced weather and flood warning and forecast system in the
world, helping to protect lives and
property and enhance the national economy. Visit the service at
weather.gov and on Facebook.
NOAA’s mission is to understand and predict changes in the
Earth’s environment, from the
depths of the ocean to the surface
of the sun, and to conserve and
manage our coastal and marine
resources.

ROCK SPRINGS — While local
residents are hoping for some of
Wyoming’s best weather this winter season, Wyoming Department
of Transportation officials are
preparing for some of its worst.
WYDOT’s maintenance crews
have spent the last few months
gearing up for this year’s winter
storm season.
“All summer long, our mechanics have been working on preventative maintenance — from repairing snow blowers to testing the

District 3 Engineer.
“We want everything to be in
working order for the winter,” he
added.
To operate those snowplows
and snowblowers, WYDOT will
add to its winter staff. Twelve
temporary operators will join
WYDOT this winter season to
supplement permanent maintenance crews.
In addition to plowing,
WYDOT will be utilizing several
different chemical mixtures and
the traditional sand/salt mix to
maintain safe road conditions.
WYDOT uses several mixtures
on Wyoming roads — both before
and after snowstorms — such as
salt sand, salt brine, magnesium
chloride and ice slicer. These mixtures are currently being stockpiled at WYDOT’s maintenance
stations in preparation for winter.
When snowfall can be predicted, some of these chemicals are
applied to roads before the storm
to help keep snowpack from accumulating, and to assist with the
removal of snow after the storm.
“We try and prevent the snowpack from forming, but we can’t
always do that.
“However, it does help with the

ROCK SPRINGS — Organizers
of the annual Home and Garden
Show will host the first Home and
Holiday Show that will take place
on Nov. 11, 12 and 13 at the Sweetwater County Events Complex.
Friday’s hours are 5-9 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Organizer Debi Knezovich said,
“This will be similar to the Home
and Garden Show, but with a holiday flair. It should be a good time.
This will be more than just a craft
fair. Some items available will include gift-giving, home improvement, pets, jewelry, crafts and
bread. There are all kinds of different booths including handmade items as well as merchants.
We are completely booked with
vendors; there will be 80 to 100
booths.”
In addition to the various
booths, Santa will be on hand to
meet with children and have their
picture taken with him. Children
can also win Christmas stockings.
The first 100 participants
through the door on Saturday and
the first 100 through the door on
Sunday will receive a gift bag, according to Knezovich.
The event is free to the public;
however, participants are encouraged to bring in nonperishable
food items or unused toys. The
food will be donated to the Sweetwater County Food Bank and the
toys will be donated to Toys For
Tots. For each food item brought
in, you will receive a ticket for one
of two $500 drawings. For each
toy, you will receive five tickets.
One drawing will take place on
Saturday and one will take place
on Sunday. You do not need to be
present to win. Knezovich said,
“Our main goal is to collect as
much food and toys as possible
for those in need, so people are
encouraged to bring as many
items as you want, there is no limit. The more you bring in, the better your chances at winning the
money.”
removal of the snowpack afterward,” Eddins said.
Others are used continuously,
to help alleviate snowpack and icy
conditions.
“We do what is called ‘pre-wetting.’ This is where we use a salt
sand mixture that has been prewet with a chemical, usually magnesium chloride. This helps the
sand stick to the road more,” Eddins explained.
When a storm persists, a snow
removal plan goes into action, creating a prioritized list of routes
based on traffic counts. This plan
is divided into four levels: high
volume, medium volume, low volume and closed. The snow plan is
available on the WYDOT Web site
at,
http://www.dot.state.wy.us/wydot/t
ravel/winter/snow_plow_priority_pl
an.
High-volume roads are plowed
up to 24 hours a day and consist
of interstates and principal urban
routes, such as Interstate 80.
Medium-volume
routes
are
plowed to keep them passable and
reasonably safe and are a secondary priority to high volume routes.
Low-volume routes are only serviced after high-volume and medium-volume roads have been
cleared, and are only plowed during daylight hours.
Closed refer to seasonally
closed roads, where the cost of
keeping them clear outweighs
their use. However, exceptions to
the plan are made for school bus
routes, which are plowed twice a
day regardless of their priority.
WYDOT encourages local residents and travelers to access road
and travel information through

from the face of Register Cliff
State Historic Site does not appear to have damaged any of
the historical carvings on the

Also, the section that fell

The area containing the debris from the rock slide is extremely dangerous due to unstable rocks and boulders. Barricades and fencing have been
erected in the area to keep the
public away from the debris
field. Also, the potential for additional calving of rock from

Living Art Contest

ROCK SPRINGS — Sweetwater County’s Suicide Prevention
Coalition will be displaying the
5th annual Living Art Contest all
weekend at the mall at 2441
Foothill Blvd. The art show is a
display of local youth who are
showing, “Why I Love to Live,”
the theme for the event.
Monique Vidal, Southwest
Counseling clinician and art show
organizer, said, “We are very
pleased with the hard work and
the artistic talent that has gone
into making this year’s art show a
success.”
The Living Art Contest provides youth with a positive way to
express their feelings. Suicide is
a national problem, but locally
and across the state of Wyoming
its effects are more devastating.
Mike Bauer, Southwest Counseling Service mental health manager and art show organizer, said,
“According to statistics, suicide is
the second-leading cause of death
for youth in Wyoming. Hopefully
the Living Art Show will serve to
illustrate the idea that suicide is
often preventable. I think it’s important to bring awareness to
Sweetwater County about the
need to address the problem of
suicide.”
Suicidal behavior, both attempts and deaths, affect the en-
HOW YOU CAN HELP
• Take suicide threats seriously and take immediate action,
• Be aware of the signs and
clues,
• Don’t keep secrets, think of
it as first-aid for mental health,
• Be calm and not judgmental,
• Speak with care and compassion and talk directly about
suicide,
• Encourage the person to
tire community. It devastates the
family and friends of the person
and can lead to more suicides.
Vidal said, “We are aware that
between the years of 1999-2010,
130 people in Sweetwater County
committed suicide. That’s a really large number of people and it
helps to put into perspective the
impact that suicide has on the local community.”
As family members, friends,
co-workers and community
members knowing how to help is
a huge step in helping to prevent
suicides. Oftentime’s suicidal individuals make several cries for
help.
They can include:
talking
about suicide, feelings of hopelessness or helplessness, drastic
share his/her feelings,
• Never leave a suicidal person alone and call 911,
• Offer to take the person to a
mental health professional,
• Offer to take them to an
emergency room,
• Contact a reliable family
member or close friend, and
• Follow up to make sure the
person is getting help.
mood or behavior changes, problems eating or sleeping, isolating
from friends or social activities,
lack of interest in personal appearance, lack of interest in
work/school or hobbies, giving
away personal possessions, preoccupation with death and dying,
and increasing drug or alcohol
use.
Risk factors can also include:
previous attempt, death in the
family or another significant loss,
history of family violence or child
abuse, history of mental illness, financial or work/school related
problems, easy access to lethal
means (ex: guns), impulsive or
risk-taking behavior and an inability to identify reasons for living.

ROCK SPRINGS — There is plenty of work
to be done for the Western Wyoming Community College men’s basketball team to match
last year’s success. The Mustangs raised the
bar in 2010-11 as they won the Region IX
championship for the first time in school history and went on to finish seventh at the NCJAA national basketball tournament.
What does a team do for an encore?
“Work hard and play good defense,” WWCC
head coach Trace Bevell said. “Last year we
had a tough, smart team that didn’t require a
lot of coaching on the court. They knew their
jobs and got it done. Very mature bunch that
knew their roles without me reminding them.”
Bevell will have his hands full in the preseason, whipping a team into shape that lost eight
of its 14 players. Seven from a year ago graduated and are all playing at the next level, while
another probable starter this year quit three
weeks ago.
One of biggest losses was Trevin Harris. The
freshman, who earned all-conference, all-region and all-national tournament honors, is
now at the University of Pacific along with
WWCC sophomore Rodrigo de Souza (all-conference, all-region). Also gone are Tallon
Roberton (Texas Pan-Am), Jordan Hayter
(Westminister), Tyler Condie ( Texas A&M)
and Payton Brooks (Southern Virginia).
“We lost a lot of guys from last year, but we
did the year before too,” said Bevell. “That’s life
at a junior college … You don’t have them long.
We replace a lot of guys every year, but what we
have to find this year is toughness. I knew we
would be good last year, but not sure how good.
We had a really special year. That doesn’t come
along every year.”
Matt Sellers, a 6-foot, 10-inch center who
was among the biggest returnees in the region,
informed Bevell two weeks into practices that
he was transferring to the University of
Wyoming.
“It caught me completely off-guard. I had no
idea until he walked into my office,” Bevell said.
“He didn’t start for us last year, but he would
really helped this year. He is really strong under the basket. Is he ready ready [for the Division I] level? We’ll see.”
Western Wyoming will have a considerably
smaller team without Sellers. However, Bevell
is used fielding smaller teams that make up for
size with pesky, aggressive defense.
“We’re always the smaller team anyway,” he
joked. “Size doesn’t matter as much as you
think. If you don’t have the guards to get the
ball up the floor and to pressure the other
team’s defensively, you won’t have the ball anyway.”
Bevell puts a lot of pressure on the production of his guards. That’s a good thing for the
Mustangs because the top three returnees are
ball-handlers — Ian Matos, Sam Wunderli and
Matheus Ribeiro.
“Those three right there are very good players to have back,” Bevell said. “You’re only as
good as your guards and they are good. Ian is
very athletic and plays hard. Sam is a great rebounder and defenders but needs to work on
his shooting a little more. Matheus is an allround good guard and might be the best defensive player on this team.”
At 6-5, Matos creates a lot of mismatches
and will plug in at shooting guard, wing or
small forward spots. Wunderli and Ribeiro will
play at wing where they saw a extensive playing time in 2010.
Sophomore DJ Dennis and freshman Ori
Yosef are slated to rotate at point guard and
have both earned some early praise from Bevell. Freshmen Chris Tecco and BJ Kline are expected to see time at both the point and wing
positions.
“DJ is a quick and strong point guard who
can get after it,” Bevell said. “Ori, Chris and BJ
are all working hard to earn some good playing
time. They need to continue to get better and
aggressive. I’m sure they will as we keep going.”
Bevell’s offensive game plan is the same as
it is every year — fast break is the first option,
and reverting to the playbook is secondary. The
Mustangs are not only know for beating defensive down the floor, but also for its keen ability to hit the three-pointer.
“We will shoot it on teams,” Bevell said. “If
NBA cancels all games through Nov. 30
BRIAN MAHONEY
AP Basketball Writer
NEW YORK (AP) — As NBA
players and owners wait to see
who will blink first, fans are stuck
staring at a blank calendar.
NBA Commissioner David
Stern canceled the rest of the November games Friday, saying
there will not be a full NBA season
“under any circumstances.”
The move came about after labor negotiations broke down
again when both sides refused to
budge on how to split the league’s
revenues, the same issue that derailed talks last week.
Now, a full month of NBA
games have been canceled, and
Stern said there’s no way of get-
ting them back.
“We held out that joint hope together, but in light of the breakdown of talks, there will not be a
full NBA season under any circumstances,” he said.
“It’s not practical, possible or
prudent to have a full season now,”
added Stern, who previously canceled the first two weeks of the
season. And he repeated his warnings that the proposals might now
get even harsher as the league
tries to make up the hundreds of
millions of dollars that will be lost
as the lockout drags on.
“We’re going to have to recalculate how bad the damage is,” Stern
said. “The next offer will reflect
the extraordinary losses that are
piling up now.”
Just a day earlier, Stern had said
he would consider it a failure if the
sides didn’t reach a deal in the
next few days and vowed they
would take “one heck of a shot” to
get it done.
Instead, negotiations broke off
again over the division of basketball-related income, just as they
did last Thursday. Union executive director Billy Hunter said the
league again insisted it had to be
split 50-50, while Stern said
Hunter just walked out and left
rather than discuss going below
52 percent.
Owners are insistent on a 50-50
split, while players last formally
proposed they get 52.5 percent,
leaving them about $100 million
apart annually. Players were guar-
anteed 57 percent in the previous
collective bargaining agreement.
“Derek (Fisher) and I made it
clear that we could not take the
50-50 deal to our membership.
Not with all the concessions that
we granted,” Hunter said. “We
said we got to have some dollars.”
Instead, they’ll now be out
roughly $350 million, the losses
Hunter previously projected for
each month the players were
locked out. He believed a full season could be played if a deal were
made this weekend, but Stern emphatically ruled out any hope of
that now.
“These are not punitive announcements; these are calendar
generated announcements,” Stern
said.
and when we have to set up in our half-court offense, out outside shooting does play into that.”
There are several wings vying for the starting spots as well as back-up roles that will see
plenty of court time. Bevell is also evaluating
sophomores Craig Tucker, as well as freshmen
Greg Meacham, Daveon Gibson, Lindsey
Johnson, Drew Martinez and Danilio Toskovic.
“Craig played her three years ago, but left for
a two-year mission trip in California,” Bevell explained. “We are glad to have him back.”
Though things are a lot small inside the
paint with the loss of Sellers, the Mustangs are
not without talent.
Eric Rippetoe, a 6-6 freshman from Nevada,
has the early edge to take over the center position. Also competing for the inside job are
freshmen Craig Hayter, Arjun Shibonis and
Tim Carter.
“Because of our running style, the center
and forward spots will probably be decided by
committee,” Bevell said. “All of them have to
keep getting tougher and working on their defense around the rim and continue to set better screens. The better they play the better
everyone else plays.”
Defensively, Bevell is sticking to his “bread
and butter” scheme … full-court press.
“That’s what we do here,” he said. “We like to
play defense. Whether it’s man-to-man or a 12-1-1 zone, we are going to press teams from
start to finish. Even the teams that it might not
work as well, we will still though it out there after a time-out or something to try to get an
easy turnover and basket.”
The Mustang will need the same tenacious
defense again this year that led to a regional
crown in 2010.
The job will be a tough in a region that has
several talented teams fighting for supremacy
every year.
“The Wyoming schools are so good that usually every year it’s a different team that wins the
region or is labeled as ‘the team to beat,’” Bevell said. “Casper, Sheridan and Laramie County will be very good this year. Western Nebraska will be tough, as well. The top five or so
spots are up for grabs like they are every year,
and we hope to grab one.”

Cards win World Series,
beat Texas 6-2 in Game 7
BEN WALKER
AP Baseball Writer
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Allen Craig
drifted back, reached up and
made the catch, setting off a stampede from the dugout.
The St. Louis Cardinals, the
team that wasn’t even supposed
to be here, had won a most remarkable World Series.
A day after twice being down to
their last strike, the Cardinals became champions by beating the
Texas Rangers 6-2 in Game 7 on
Friday night, boosted by another
key hit from hometown MVP
David Freese and six gutty innings by Chris Carpenter.
“It’s hard to explain how this
happened,” Cardinals manager
Tony La Russa said.
Beyond that final boxscore, that
is.
Pushed to the brink, the Cardinals kept saving themselves. A
frantic rush from 10½ games out
in late August to reach the postseason on the final day. A nifty
pair of comebacks against
Philadelphia and Milwaukee in
the playoffs. And then two desperate rallies in Game 6.
“This whole ride, this team deserves this,” said Freese, who
added more hardware to the trophy he won as the NL championship series MVP.
But how? How did they do it?
“It’s a long season. If you watch
the history of baseball, teams
come back. And sometimes they
could have come back but they
give in or give up,” La Russa said.
“Started winning some games
so we can regain some respect,
and then it got better,” he said.
“Play every game like it’s the last
game.”
Following that comeback in
Game 6 that resulted in a 10-9 win
in 11 innings, the Cardinals captured their 11th World Series
crown. Only the New York Yankees own more with 27.
After a whole fall on the edge,
the Cardinals didn’t dare mess
with Texas, or any more drama in
baseball’s first World Series Game
7 since the Angels beat the Giants
in 2002.
Freese’s two-run double tied it
in the first, with star Albert Pujols
thrusting his arms in the air as he
scored. Craig reprised his role as
good-luck charm, hitting a goahead homer in the third.
Given a chance to pitch by a
Game 6 rainout and picked by La
Russa earlier in the day to start on
three days’ rest, Carpenter improved to 9-2 lifetime in the postseason. The tireless St. Louis
bullpen closed it out.
No Rally Squirrel needed on
this night, either. Fireworks and
confetti rang out at Busch Stadium when Jason Motte retired
David Murphy on a fly ball to
Craig to end it.
The Rangers, meanwhile, will
spend the whole winter wondering how it all got away. Texas
might dwell on it forever, in fact,
or at least until Nolan Ryan & Co.
can reverse a World Series slide
that started with last year’s fivegame wipeout against San Francisco.
“We were close. Two times.
Game 6. That’s it,” Texas pitcher
Colby Lewis said. “Two years in a
row we feel like we were the best
team but we haven’t won the
game we needed to win.”

Texas Rangers establish unwanted tradition
RONALD BLUM
AP Sports Writer
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Losses like these create reputations. Debacles like this take decades to overcome — if ever.
Twice within a strike of winning their first World
Series title, the Texas Rangers came up short both
times.
“You study all year long, get straight A’s and
then you have to pass the one test to pass the
course,” Colby Lewis said. “We didn’t pass each
time.”
In a year of unprecedented collapses, the
Rangers saved the worst for last.
A night after they were a pitch from winning the
first title in the 51-year history of the franchise, they
wasted a two-run lead Friday and lost Game 7 of
the World Series 6-2 to the St. Louis Cardinals.
Texas players walked around the quiet clubhouse, exchanging blank looks, not quite ready to
go home.
Clubhouse attendants took down their nameplates and packed their gear.
In a century-plus of World Series play, rarely has
there been such an empty feeling.
“I want to celebrate and was thinking about it,”
Elvis Andrus said, “but that moment never came.”
Until now, the 1986 Boston Red Sox had been
the only team to come within an out of the title
without winning it. Red Sox fans dwelled on Bill
Buckner’s error for 18 years, until the 2004 Sox
won the team’s first championship since 1918.
These Rangers will be remembered for a triple
failure, for Neftali Feliz allowing David Freese’s tying triple in the ninth inning of Game 6, for Scott
Feldman giving up Lance Berkman’s tying single
pass the one test to pass the
course. We didn’t pass each time.”
Ryan left tightlipped. When a
reporter tried to ask the Rangers
president and part-owner a question, someone in his entourage
said: “He’s not talking.”
Texas had not lost consecutive
games since late August. These
two defeats in St. Louis cost manager Ron Washington and the
Rangers a chance to win their first
title in the franchise’s 51-year history.
Instead, Texas became the first
team to lose the Series two
straight years since Atlanta in
1991-92.
“Sometimes when opportunity
is in your presence, you certainly
can’t let it get away because sometimes it takes a while before it
comes back,” Washington said. “If
there’s one thing that happened in
this World Series that I’ll look
back on is being so close, just having one pitch to be made and one
out to be gotten, and it could have
been a different story.”
Added Texas third baseman
Adrian Beltre: “We tried to come
back today, but the momentum
just took them.”
“It’s not a nice feeling, you
know, being one strike away twice.
I guess it’s probably easier to lose
four games in a row in a World Series, but being a strike away it’s
something that will be hard to forget,” he said.
This marked the ninth straight
time the home team had won
Game 7 in the World Series. The
wild-card Cardinals held that advantage over the AL West champions because the NL won the AllStar game — Texas could blame
that on their own pitcher, C.J. Wilson, who took the loss in July.
A year full of inspiring rallies
and epic collapses was encapsulated in Game 6. Freese was the
star, with a tying triple in the ninth
and a winning home run in the
in the 10th and for Mark Lowe allowing Freese’s
game-ending home run in the 11th.
“I tried the best that I could,” Feliz said. “What
happened? It wasn’t what I envisioned, that was
all. A bad outcome.”
Texas had not lost consecutive games since
Aug. 23-25 against the Red Sox. But Matt Harrison, Feldman, C.J. Wilson and Mike Adams combined to give up six runs, and the Cardinals became the ninth straight home team to win Game
7.
“This will never be a good feeling. It hurts,”
David Murphy said. “It’s hard to go through a full
season and play so well and get to Game 7 of a
World Series and not get it done.”
After last year’s five-game loss to San Francisco, the Rangers became the first repeat AL pennant winner since the 1998-01 Yankees. They finished as the first team to lose consecutive World
Series since the 1991-92 Atlanta Braves.
“I’m still kind of numb,” general manager Jon
Daniels said.
Just as Red Sox fans wondered why John McNamara didn’t put in Dave Stapleton as a defensive
replacement in the 10th inning of Game 6,
Rangers supporters will ponder why Feliz didn’t
throw a slider to Freese with a 1-2 count in the
ninth inning of Game 6 instead of a 98 mph fastball.
“Sometimes when opportunity is in your presence, you certainly can’t let it get away because
sometimes it takes a while before it comes back,”
manager Ron Washington said. “If there’s one
thing that happened in this World Series that I’ll
look back on is being so close, just having one
pitch to be made and one out to be gotten, and it
could have been a different story.”
11th.
His two RBIs in the clincher
gave him a postseason-record 21.
The Cardinals won their first
championship since 2006, and
gave La Russa his third World Series title. They got there by beating Philadelphia in the first round
of the NL playoffs, capped by Carpenter outdueling Roy Halladay 10 in the deciding Game 5, and
then topping Milwaukee in the NL
championship series.
“I think the last month of the
season, that’s where it started,”
Pujols said. “Different guys were
coming huge, getting big hits, and
we carried that into the postseason and here we are, world champions.”
By the time Yadier Molina drew
a bases-loaded walk from starter
Matt Harrison in the fifth and
Rafael Furcal was hit by a pitch
from Wilson in relief to force
home another run that made it 52, the crowd began to sense a
championship was near. Molina
added an RBI single in the seventh.
The Cardinals improved to 8-3
in Game 7s of the Series, more
wins than any other club. Yet fans
here know their history well, and
were aware this game could go either way — Dizzy Dean and the
Gas House Gang won 11-0 in
1934, but Whitey Herzog and his
Cardinals lost 11-0 in 1985.
On this evening, all the stars
aligned for St. Louis.
Starting in place of injured Matt
Holliday, Craig hit his third homer
of the Series and made a leaping
catch on a fly by Nelson Cruz at
the top of the left field wall. Molina made another strong throw to
nail a stray runner. And Carpenter
steeled himself to pitch into the
seventh, every bit an ace.
Pujols went 0 for 2, walked and
was hit by a pitch in what could
have been his last game with the
Cardinals. Many think the soon-
2011 STATE 3A FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP BRACKET
to-be free agent will remain in St.
Louis.
“You know what? I’m not even
thinking about that. I’m thinking
about, you know, we’re the world
champions and I’m going to celebrate and whenever that time
comes, you know, then we’ll deal
with it,” he said.
Pujols did plenty of damage.
His three-homer job in Game 3
was the signature performance of
his career and perhaps the greatest hitting show in postseason
history.
Dismissed by some as a dull Series even before it began because
it lacked the big-market glamour
teams, it got better inning by inning. Plus, a postseason first: A
bullpen telephone mixup played a
prominent part.
“I told you it was going to be a
great series, and it was,” Texas
slugger Josh Hamilton said.
“I don’t care what other people
remember. We fell a little bit
short,” he said. “Hats off to the
Cards, they did a great job, especially last night. It was actually fun
to watch and fun to see. You hate
it but it happened.”

Kan. State, 58-17
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) —
That fantastic finish against
Wisconsin sure seems like a
long time ago to Michigan
State.
The ninth-ranked Spartans
had a chance to build an almost insurmountable lead in
the Big Ten Legends Division
on Saturday against No. 13 Nebraska, but the Spartans’ road
demons cropped up again in a
24-3 loss.
The Spartans were held to
187 total yards and quarterback Kirk Cousins couldn’t get
anything going in the passing
game against Nebraska’s
swarming defense.
After throwing for 290 yards
and three TDs at home in last
week’s crazy 37-31 win over
Wisconsin last week, Cousins
missed on 12 of his first 16
passes and finished 11 of 27 for
86 yards. He was sacked for
times.
MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP)
— Landry Jones and Ryan
Broyles helped No. 11 Oklahoma get back on track and

Jones threw for a schoolrecord 505 yards and five
touchdowns, his All-American
wide receiver caught 14 passes
for 171 yards and a score, and
the Sooners bounced back
from a stunning defeat to beat
the previously unbeaten Wildcats 58-17 Saturday.
Kenny Stills added four
catches for 101 yards, Roy
Finch finished with 73 yards
rushing and another 69
through the air, and the Sooners’ potent, fast-paced attack
managed 690 yards of total offense against the league’s topranked defense.
Jones’ passing total shattered the previous record of
468 yards.

A boy named Suh
Broncos have hands full with Ndamukong on prowl
PAT GRAHAM
AP Sports Writer
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) —
Ndamukong Suh has cultivated a
reputation for intimidating quarterbacks.
So much so that Tim Tebow
will be constantly glancing to his
right Sunday, just to see exactly
where the big, burly Detroit Lions
defensive lineman might be. The
Broncos quarterback doesn’t plan
on losing sight of Suh for a second.
Forgive Tebow if he’s a little
paranoid, forgive any QB for that
matter — Suh has simply become
that threatening.
He anchors a Lions line that
has produced 17 sacks this season and allowed three rushing
TDs.
In his second season, Suh has
developed the persona of a bruiser, not to mention a little bit of a
bully. Last weekend, he and fellow defensive lineman Cliff Avril
reportedly razzed Matt Ryan
while the Atlanta quarterback was
down on the field with an injury.
Earlier this week, Suh shot
back, hinting the Falcons were
guilty of dirty play.
Now, the Denver Broncos (2-4)
will be facing a seething Suh and
the disgruntled Detroit Lions (52), who have dropped two
straight after a sizzling start.
A fired-up Suh? That’s the last
thing Tebow really wants to see
charging after him.
“He’s obviously a big boy,
strong, very explosive. He does a
lot of great things,” Tebow said.
“He’s very impressive physically,
and on tape as well.”
Tebow has actually gotten to
know Suh. When both were in
college, they made the rounds to
the same award ceremonies and
functions, striking up friendly
conversations. Later on, they met
up at different sponsorship
events.
So, any chance Suh might take
it easy on him?
“Oh yeah,” Tebow said with a
smile.
Come Sunday, it could be more
like, “Oh, no.”
Already known for having happy feet in the pocket, Tebow may
be even quicker to tuck the ball
and take off this weekend.
And that very well could also
be by design.
The Broncos will likely be without leading tailback Willis McGahee after he missed practice this
week following surgery to fix a
broken finger on his right hand.
They’re down to two healthy
backs in Knowshon Moreno and
Lance Ball, leaving Tebow as one
of their top rushing threats.
The Lions are quite aware of
that.
“Everybody
knows
Tim
Tebow,” Suh said.
With his size and strength,
Tebow is unlike any quarterback
Detroit has faced.
“(It) presents a lot of challenges for a defense, because of
his mobility and also, it’s not just
mobility, his ability to be used as
a running back,” Lions coach Jim
Schwartz said. “Pass-rush wise,
we’ve seen some mobile quarterbacks, but not left-handed mobile
quarterbacks, so it changes
things a little bit. We’re going to
have to work real hard at containing him.”
Part of the problem for a defense is that Tebow hardly does
anything by the book. He’s not
the most polished passer or the
best surveyor of a defense.
But he brings other intangibles
to the field.
Chief among them, moxie.
Tebow played horribly for 55
minutes in Miami last weekend
before he brought the Broncos
back from a 15-0 deficit in the final minutes to force overtime,
where the team pulled out an improbable 18-15 win. It’s the largest
deficit overcome in a victory with
less than 3 minutes since the
1970 NFL merger.
That only adds to the legend of
Tebow.
The Heisman Trophy winner
out of Florida is a popular and polarizing figure around the country. But not in the locker room.
There, he insists, he’s just a regular guy. No one asks him to keep
his religion or his beliefs to himself.
“I think my relationship with
guys on the team is deeper than
just, you know, moments like that
or comments like that,” Tebow
said. “I feel like when you get to
know people and you care about
people it’s more than just, you
know, comments like that.”
Tebow remains a work in
progress. He’s built like a tight
Tebow inspires
phenomenon
called ‘Tebowing’
PAT GRAHAM
AP Sports Writer
DENVER (AP) — Tim Tebow inspired a phenomenon when he
dropped to a knee and began praying as his teammates wildly celebrated around him after an improbable overtime victory in Miami
last weekend.
That was simply Tebow “Tebowing,” a phrase coined by a fan sitting in a bar in New York watching the popular yet polarizing quarterback rally the Denver Broncos.
Jared Kleinstein was mesmerized by Tebow’s peaceful demeanor
kneeling on the turf amid all the chaos that ensued. He launched
a website in which fans could submit photos of themselves “Tebowing,” which means getting down on a knee and praying, even if
everyone else around you is doing something completely different.
The trend is picking up steam.
Kleinstein has received quite a collection of photos. There are
fans striking the Tebow prayer pose next to statues, in bowling alleys, on boats and while waiting in line for tacos.
There are kids getting ready for ballet performing the pose, an
airline pilot just before takeoff and a construction worker on a
rooftop. Recently, Kleinstein even received a photo of a solider in
Afghanistan emulating Tebow’s pose.
“It’s addictive to be a Tebow fan,” said Kleinstein, who grew up
in Denver before moving to New York.
Never did Kleinstein envision this venture taking off so quickly.
Kleinstein started the website earlier this week after purchasing the
domain name — Tebowing.com — for $10.
Almost overnight, it caught on through social media. He went
from an audience of 785 to nearly 390,000 in just a few days.
The amount of pictures he’s receiving also is staggering. Just Friday alone, Kleinstein had to sort through more than 1,300 snapshots to post on the site.
But Kleinstein wanted to make one thing clear: The undertaking
isn’t meant to mock Tebow or poke fun at his religious beliefs, just
show support.
On Friday after practice, Tebow said he appreciated the spirit of
the website.
“Yeah, some people don’t necessarily take it seriously but they’re
on their knee praying, so who knows what you’re going to think
about after that and how that can affect you?” Tebow said. “Hopefully, it’s a good example for people.”
His teammates have even taken part. Rookie linebacker Von
Miller tweeted a photo of himself Thursday in a Tebow jersey and
doing the pose.
“Tim Tebow’s a celebrity and I’m on Team Tebow,” Miller said.
“I’m one of his biggest supporters and want to see him do it all.
“That’s the way he prays. So what better way to capture that than
to have a ‘Tebowing’ thing like that?”
All it took was a small miracle to make it “Tebowing” time.
The former Heisman Trophy winner from Florida was abysmal
for the opening 55 minutes in Miami. Then, Tebow turned electric
as he brought the Broncos back from a 15-0 deficit in the final moments to force overtime, where the team pulled out an 18-15 win.
It’s the largest deficit overcome in a victory with less than 3 minutes since the 1970 NFL merger.
“When we won the game, the people in the bar were jumping
around as if the Broncos had just won the Super Bowl, even though
we had only beaten the last-place team in the league,” Kleinstein recalled. “I just looked up at the screen _ the team is celebrating and
he took a quick bow. I just said, ‘That’s Tebowing. That’s how we
should pay tribute.”‘
After the commotion quieted, Kleinstein and his friends went
outside to take a group photo in Tebow’s prayer formation. He posted it on Facebook just for fun and it spread quickly.
Soon after, he decided to launch the website.
Not only does Kleinstein post the photos, he also captions them.
And they’re quite hilarious.
For instance, there’s a picture of a person with a bowling ball in
a lane striking the pose with the explanation, “Tebowling.” On another, there’s a person perched on an exercise ball with the slogan
“Tebow to the core” underneath. In yet another, a man in his office
has a caption reading, “President and CEObowing.”
“Tim praying, it’s part of who he is,” Kleinstein said. “It’s not
something that should be mocked or seen in any other way.”
Tebow understands that. He recently received a tweet from a kid
who’s undergoing cancer treatment that melted his heart.
“It said, ‘I’m Tebowing while I’m Chemoing,”‘ Tebow recounted.
“How cool is that? That’s worth it right there. If that gives him any
encouragement or puts a smile on his face or gives him encouragement to pray, that’s really awesome. And that’s completely worth
it for me.” There are even other standouts in the Mile High City getting in on the act. Colorado Rapids forward Omar Cummings
dropped to a knee and did the pose after scoring a goal in a 1-0 victory over the Columbus Crew on Thursday night in an MLS wildcard soccer game.
end, delivers hits like a linebacker
but wants to develop into an elite
quarterback. He’s constantly
working on his pocket presence,
not taking off at the first sign of
trouble.
His patience could be put to
the test by Suh, who has three
sacks this season along with riling up countless offensive linemen.
Most of the time, the Broncos
expect Suh to line up on the side
of right guard Chris Kuper. Even
knowing where he is doesn’t
make it any easier to defend him.
Not with Detroit’s talented
front line. The Lions also feature
Avril, Corey Williams and Kyle
Vanden Bosch, along with rookie
Nick Fairley.
“They have a lot of guys who
can move around,” said left tackle Ryan Clady, whose team allowed a season-high six sacks
against the Dolphins last week.
“They don’t blitz much because
their front four can get pressure
without blitzing. That gives them
an advantage against a lot of
teams.”
The other intriguing matchup
in this contest will be out wide
when perennial Pro Bowl cornerback Champ Bailey tries to shut
down Calvin Johnson, who has
emerged as one of the top receivers in the game.
“He’s special,” Bailey said.
“You’ve got to get lucky sometimes too because he is going to
make some plays.”
Johnson has a league-leading
10 TD catches, but this could be
problematic:
Quarterback
Matthew Stafford is dinged up.
Stafford was able to practice this
week on his injured right ankle,
but backup Shaun Hill is taking
snaps, too.
“We’ll get the job done,” Johnson said. “We’re comfortable with
Shaun.”
As for Bailey shadowing him
around the field, Johnson said
he’s looking forward to the showdown.
“Definitely going to be a challenge,” he said. “That’s the thing
in this league: You’re going
against the best every week and
he’s definitely one of the best.”

Mead adviser warns taxes
could hurt wind projects
BEN NEARY
Associated Press
CHEYENNE
(AP)
—
Wyoming is apparently set to
jack up taxes and fees on wind
energy producers starting next
year now that a legislative
committee this week shot
down an industry-friendly
measure supported by Gov.
Matt Mead.
An adviser to Mead warned
Friday that the state could lose
wind energy projects if the
sales tax exemption on wind
energy equipment expires in
January as scheduled. But
most state lawmakers apparently believe that the state’s
wind resource is so good that
future construction of wind
projects hinges more on the
availability of transmission
lines than the details of the
state’s tax code.
The Legislature’s Joint Revenue Interim Committee on
Thursday voted down a bill
that would have continued the
sales and use tax exemption
on equipment used on wind
energy projects in exchange
for imposing lower, one-time
impact fees on them.

The data table above is broken into common Internet services

peers and their torrents. Clients
need to communicate with the
tracker server to start downloads.
Tracker servers can be used by
anyone by adding the tracker address to an existing torrent, or
they can be used by any newly
created torrent. The most popular ones are OpenBitTorrent and
PublicBitTorrent.
If this option is too confusing,
many torrent Web sites act as
both tracker and an index. Using
a torrent search engine can help
you find files quickly. It can also
allow you to see the health of
your desired torrent and whether
or not it is a trusted source.
Lastly, you’ll need to come up
with some sort of file management system if you plan on downloading a heap of files.
With the speed and efficiency
of torrents, file organization can
quickly get out of hand. It is best
to come up with an organization
plan from the start, before your
desktop looks like you set a
“Hoarders” background on your
monitor.
File organization can be done
manually or through torrent
client software. If you wish to do
it manually, make sure you set
aside a place for all your files. If
you want to organize through the
software, make sure you go into
the client’s options and adjust file
locations.
It is important to keep in mind
that with torrents you are always
at risk.
There is always a chance a
shared file could have spyware,
malware or a virus. Pay close attention to peer comments on torrents and the amount of seeders
to make sure you are downloading something trustworthy.
Also remember if you wish to
use torrents to download copyrighted material, it is illegal. The
Recording Industry Association
of America (RIAA) and the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) both target torrents
and make it their mission to end
pirating ambitions.
well as lobbyists for the wind
energy industry had testified
in favor of the bill. Its defeat by
the committee leaves no apparent barriers to the state
starting to impose sales and
use taxes on wind projects
next year. In addition, the state
next year is set to start imposing a $1-per-megawatt tax on
wind energy production.
Shawn Reese, Mead’s policy
director, said Friday that imposing sales and use taxes on
wind energy projects would
likely result in some never getting built. “If the sales taxes remain, I think the likelihood of
projects being able to be financed decreases,” Reese said.
He said an upfront spike in
sales tax is likely going to result in some projects not being
able to get off the ground.
The sales and use tax rate
varies by county but generally
exceeds 5 percent. The bill the
Revenue Committee rejected
would have substituted a 2 percent impact fee on wind projects to support county governments. Larry Wolfe, registered
lobbyist for Duke Energy, said
Friday a typical 1.5-megawatt
wind turbine costs up to $3
million.
Boys and Girls Club provides
health meals for community
ROCK SPRINGS — The
Boys and Girls Club of Sweetwater County and the
Wyoming Food Bank of the
Rockies have partnered with
Encana Oil & Gas Inc. to provide healthy nutritional meals
for more than 160 youth in
Sweetwater County.
WFBR provides food for
more than 250 agencies and
organizations
in
all
of
Wyoming’s 23 counties.
Last year, they approached
the BGCSC to initiate a Kids
Café for Sweetwater County
families. BGCSC went on a
quest to find sponsors to fund
the first Wyoming Kids Café.
Encana stepped up with a
$10,000 grant. “Not only will
the Kids Café integrate healthy
living and active learning to
SWC youth, but it will also emphasize good nutrition and
physical activity,” said Randy
Teeuwen, Encana community
relations adviser.
“Instilling this knowledge
now will inspire valuable habits
and improve their overall wellbeing.”
The Kids Café provides a
nutritious meal, approved by
the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug
Administration to all kids in
the BGCSC after-school program.
Although most of the meals
are shelf-stable food, with one
to two hot meals per week,
they include a carbohydrate,
protein, daily product and fruit
or vegetable.
“There are 160 kids on our
roster, and we serve around 60
kids every day,” said Lisa Stewart, BGCSC chief professional
officer. “These meals provide
nutrition to our kids, and gives
them energy to get through the
rest of the day.”
Through an agency support
fee, the WFBR receives food at
a reduced or lower price.
“Many of our club members
come from low-income families, many of which are singlefamily homes,” Stewart said.
“Thanks to Encana’s grant and
the WFBR, we are able to
stretch our resources to actually acquire close to $38,000
worth of food.”
According to Kim Summerall-Wright, WFBR director, in
the past two years, the number
of Wyoming students who receive a free or reduced lunch at
school has increased from 30
to 39 percent.
“It’s these working families
who are at the greatest risk in
our state, it’s important to ensure that they have a place at
a table,” Summerall-Wright
said. “Last year, the WFBR delivered 4.85 million pounds of
food in Wyoming that helped
provide a sit-down meal in a
family-type setting to children
every night. We want to teach
kids about eating healthy and
get them excited about cooking with fresh foods. Encana’s
contribution will ensure the
success of the Kids Café, providing food for an entire year.
“The Boys and Girls Club is
always open to new ideas.
Stewart is willing to introduce
new fresh fruits and vegetables
into the kids diets,” Summerall-Wright said. “This first café
is a fantastic opportunity, and
we hope to open more Kids
Cafés like this in Wyoming.
“The grant we received from
Encana is phenomenal. The
collaboration and partnership
we have with Encana and the
Wyoming Food Bank of the
Rockies really demonstrates
that three organizations can
work together successfully,”
Stewart said.
“We are so excited for this
partnership to grow — our goal
is to serve 100 kids a day.”

Recent grads must face
up to student loan debt
TERRY SAVAGE
With student loan debt making
headlines, this is a reminder to
spring graduates that you must
start dealing with your debt before the six-month grace period
runs out. Here’s the universal
question: If I graduated this past
spring, what should I be doing
about my student loans — especially if I have no job?
First things first. Do not get
swept up in the news and forget
that you must deal with your obligation under the current rules.
Here’s what you must do now if
you graduated this past spring —
whether you can afford to pay or
not. Immediately contact your
lenders, and set up some kind of
arrangement. If you absolutely
cannot start paying, ask about
forbearance or deferral. But if you
have some income now, it’s better
to start a repayment plan that
recognizes your situation. Go to
IBRInfo.org to learn about income-based repayment plan options.
It’s no surprise that student
loan debt is entering the political
arena. Student loans outstanding
exceed total credit-card debt, and
will exceed $1 trillion for the first
time this year. And that total is
growing at a rate of $100 billion a
year.
The fault lies, once again, in
Congress. In an effort to make
college “affordable” for the voters, it expanded the student loan
program dramatically in the past
20 years. More student loan
money meant colleges were free
to raise tuition at more than twice
the rate of consumer price inflation every year. In fact, the College Board just announced that
the average cost of in-state tuition
at a four-year public university
rose 8.3 percent this year!
The real killer is the interest
rates on student loans. Despite
the fact that you can earn less
than a quarter of 1 percent interest on 6-month Treasury bills,
the government wants you to pay
6.8 percent interest.
The squeeze on federal student
loans is even worse than mortgage or credit card debt repayment. You can file for bankruptcy
and wipe out credit card debt.
You can default and lose your
home if you don’t pay your mortgage. And in each case, you can
walk away and start over.
If you default on your federal
student loans, they won’t go
away. Instead, they will haunt you
until you start collecting Social
Security — at which point the
government promises to take a
bite out of your monthly check to
repay your loans!
The portion of borrowers in default rose from 6.7 percent in
2007 to 8.8 percent in 2009, and
surely has soared in the past two
years. But interest keeps accruing
on those defaulted loans.
Many graduates took advantage of the onetime loan consolidation program to lock in fixed
rates several years ago and slightly lower rates for many borrowers. The announcement talked
about consolidation of “direct”
loans with loans that were made
in previous years through private
banks, such as Sallie Mae, under
the older Federal Family Education Loan program. It’s not clear
whether previously consolidated
loans will qualify.
The president’s proposal also
will lower the minimum payment
for new borrowers from 15 percent of annual discretionary income to 10 percent. (Discretionary income is defined as the
amount by which adjusted gross
income exceeds the poverty line.)
This proposal is a step in the
right direction — but not a large
enough step. While I believe in
the sanctity of a contract as essential to a well-functioning economy, it is totally unfair that those
just starting their careers are held
to a higher repayment standard
than homeowners or credit-card
users — or the banks!
Perry, Gingrich recklessly disregard
the importance of judicial review
JACOB SULLUM
Why is Newt Gingrich running
for president? Two words: "under
God." "One of the major reasons
that I am running for president,"
the former House speaker said at
this month’s Value Voters Summit, "is the Ninth Circuit Court
decision in 2002 that ‘one nation
under God,’ in the Pledge of Allegiance, was unconstitutional.
That decision to me had the same
effect that the Dred Scott decision extending slavery to the
whole country had on Abraham
Lincoln."
Let us pass over Gingrich’s
comparison of himself to the
Great Emancipator and contemplate whether excising two words
from the Pledge of Allegiance
would be an injustice on the order
of systematically denying people’s rights because of their skin
color. Gingrich’s main point is
that the Ninth Circuit’s ruling illustrates the need to punish
judges for making decisions he
does not like. Such miscreants
should be called before Congress
to explain themselves, Gingrich
says, and if they cannot do so satisfactorily, their courts should be
abolished.
Although Gingrich’s plan for
confronting the judiciary is especially aggressive, it reflects familiar conservative complaints about
"activist judges who tell us what
is right and wrong and deny us
the right to live as we see fit," as
Texas Gov. Rick Perry, another
Republican presidential contender, puts it in his 2010 book
"Fed Up!" Critics like Gingrich
and Perry disregard the importance of court-enforced constitutional limits, seeking to undermine judicial review in ways they
themselves would come to regret.
Gingrich and Perry surely are
right that judges can be wrong. It
is difficult to reconcile the original understanding of the Constitution with the Supreme Court’s
decisions concerning abortion
and the separation of church and
state. Perry also complains about
the Court’s interference with the
death penalty, its regulation of
congressional districts and its
nullification of the Texas ban on
sodomy. He worries that it might
one day require legal recognition
of gay marriages. All these examples involve second-guessing decisions by legislators. But that
does not mean Gingrich and Perry think the courts should automatically defer to the people’s
elected representatives.
Gingrich faults the Supreme
Court for approving the use of
eminent domain to transfer property from one private owner to
another in the name of economic development. Perry criticizes it
for encouraging Congress to believe its authority to regulate interstate commerce covers nearly
any measure it decides to pass —
such as the individual health insurance mandate that he and his
fellow Republicans want the
Court to overturn. Gingrich praises the Court for striking down
campaign finance regulations
that impinged on freedom of
speech. Perry praises it for striking down local gun laws that impinged on the right to keep and
bear arms.
Gingrich and Perry expect the
federal courts to enforce constitutional restrictions on legislative
power. But how well can they do
that job if Congress responds by
defunding them or simply by declaring its legislative acts unreviewable? How strong a bulwark
of liberty will the judicial branch
be if, as Perry suggests, a twothirds majority of Congress can
override the Supreme Court’s decisions?
Despite all the dire warnings
about judicial activism, the
Supreme Court’s recent record
suggests it does not have much
strength to spare. According to
an Institute for Justice report released last month, the Court
struck down just 0.65 percent of
federal laws and just 0.045 percent of state laws enacted between 1954 and 2002. "We suffer
not from rampant judicial activism," authors Clark Neily and
Dick M. Carpenter conclude, "but
rather from too little judicial engagement." Perry complains that
“democracy” is “trumped by nine
unelected judges,” while insisting
that the Supreme Court “should
be steadfast in its commitment to
the preservation of liberty.” But
unrestrained democracy is inconsistent with liberty, which is why
we have a Constitution.

Albert Payson Terhume said was
the essence of Christian hope.
That essence, he said, is, “God
always finishes his sentences.”

Don’t we all need something

Holding on to hope in the face
of hopelessness for me is always
about reaching out my hand to
take God’s hand.
As a boy, I used to hold my
Dad’s hand.
There I felt secure.
One summer I took my wife
and seven children on a hike,
above Steamboat Springs to Fish
Creek Falls. My eldest son was
full of energy. He wanted to run
free. Sometimes he would cry
because I held his hand so firmly, but I held on for dear life for
him.
Unknowing of the danger on
that rocky trail, he would throw
his whole body into one lunge after another.
Had he broken free from my
grip, he might have badly injured
or killed himself. He wanted
loose so badly.
Not until we were down the
mountain and playing in the
grass below did I let him run
free.
Sometimes, part of our helplessness and hopelessness is our
pulling at God and His will, hoping to break free so we can do as
we please.
As a child, I learned a song I
still sing today.
The chorus goes, “He holds
my hand, Jesus holds my hand;
safely to heaven He leads the
way. He is my Keeper from day
to day. He holds my hand, Jesus
holds my hand. The road may be
long, but my Savior is strong.
And He holds my hand.”
When God is holding our
hand, there are no hopeless situations. There are only those of
us who have grown hopeless
about our situations.
When it gets darkest, the stars
come out.
Hope in God.
Never give up!

STREET
Davis asked. “Malls are successful because they have a mall manager, someone who decides on
hours of operation and other
things. In a downtown, they can
open whenever they please. If you
have a strong program and work
through the Main Street program, and use the technical assist
and guidance Mary (Randolph)
can bring you, you can overcome
the varied hours of operation.
People see the light and have
good hours of operation then.”
A working Main Street at the
heart of a vibrant downtown,
Randolph said, also attracts
tourism dollars, acts as a catalyst
for public and private improvement projects, and strengthens
existing businesses.
Davis said while he is “not a
chain (store) basher,” American
cities “are all becoming the same;
they are all full of chains. In rural
Wyoming we want the uniqueness, we want local individualism.
That is what will bring people
back to your downtown. It’s not
the same old same old that is
happening across America. Rock
Springs has the chains. You guys
have a great opportunity to bring
unique businesses to your downtown and people from Rock
Springs will come over here to
shop.”
REPORT FROM EVANSTON
“In the 1960s,” said Davis, “you
could still buy groceries at three
grocery stores in Evanston. Now
they’re gone. And the utility companies are also gone. Before, you
could pay your utility bills at a local office and that would create
foot traffic. Now in Evanston,
Rocky Mountain Power no longer
is in the downtown, and the
phone company is in a building
built like a fort, you never see
anybody in it. Even our gas company, Mountain Fuels, doesn’t
have a place in town to pay bills.
Then the real tragedy was losing
our department stores. We lost
our J.C. Penny 1991 or ‘92. We
lost all those things.”
But just as decay can spread,
so, too, can upgrades and invest-
ENERGY
-ing linear fluorescent bulbs with
brighter, higher-efficiency bulbs
known as T8 lamps. He said the
company now saves $10,500 in
energy costs and 136,900 kilowatt-hours per year.
Retrofitting a building, or
adding new technology to a new
one, will cost money, but he said
the return on investment is a nobrainer.
Travis said home or business
owners, not Rocky Mountain
Power, decide what retrofits to
do.
“We only provide the information, the options,” he said.
Of course, he said an energy
analysis can be complex and may
need the expertise of individuals
from more than one field. Travis
said the utility works with customers to jointly develop a scope
of work and to select consultants
for energy audits.
“Rocky Mountain Power contracts with the engineering consultant to perform the energy
analysis work and pays for the
study,” he said.
The utility’s list of incentives
includes payments ranging from
25 cents to $21 per lamp, depending on the bulb type. For lightemitting diode, or LED, lights,
the rebate can be as much as
$100 per fixture.
There are also payments made
for installation of advanced lighting controls from $75 to $150 per
sensor.
When it comes to heating, ventilation and air conditioning upgrades, which are often larger, the
customer incentive is measured
in equipment tonnage. Travis
said the Wattsmart program pro-
ments, he said.
Davis said the Evanston Main
Street entity put $79,000 into a
renovation of the old Hotel
Evanston and the City put in
$600,000. “We look forward to
the day with an improved economy when we be able to attract”
tenants and more reinvestment
into this building. “As it stands
now,” he said, “it has a brand new
roof and it’s not an eyesore anymore.”
Randolph, pointing to the side
of the slide Davis had presented,
noted the newly upgraded building adjacent to the hotel.
“That is new investment,” she
said. “It’s infectious.”
The Evanston Main Street organization holds an annual ball,
and it has become a “signature
event,” noted Randolph.
Davis said that in a good year
the annual ball takes in $100,000
for the Main Street organization.
Even this past year, in a bad economy, he said, “we took in
$70,000. It is our money not the
City’s and we use it for grants, to
match applications, and to bring
technical assistance to businesses that need it. We used a lot of
that money as seed money for
projects to start and grow. We got
the depot from Union Pacific
Railroad, and redid the building
and grounds, financed through
the ball.”
Also, Evanston Main Street received a Chinese gazebo for its
main park, he continued, donated by a Chinese-American who
was raised in Evanston and is
now in New York City. “One of
the URA committees is now creating a Chinese garden around
it,” Davis added.
“You should look for a signature event in Green River,” Randolph said. “You have to find that
within yourselves.”
Ravis recalled that, before the
Main Street and URA work began, “It got so bad in Evanston
that at 5 p.m., the bank in downtown would close and there were
no eateries or bars. … Now we
have four eateries on two blocks
on Main Street and two or three
more on Front Street. We have a
coffee shop and it’s not Star-
vides incentives to new and old
facilities, small and large and
commercial industrial and agricultural facilities. He said anybody seeking to reduce a business or home’s electricity use can
apply.
He said the utility also offers
lighting and motor energy use
calculators to compare potential
savings with different upgrades
or facility retrofits, an assessment
to generate facility-specific recommendations and also a carbon
footprint calculator to gauge the
environmental impact of a business.
Travis said current energy saving technology is robust and
moving fast. For example, it includes occupancy sensors for little-used areas to turn off unneeded lights, time-sensitive equipment that automatically turns off
unused equipment, more energyefficient machines like laptops,
furnaces and air conditioning
units and low-tech items as caulking and weather-stripping.
Travis said people will save
money by simply turning off
lights.
Other energy- and money-saving devices include devices to
turn down heat when food is not
being cooked, exhaust hoods that
use outside air rather than inside
air-conditioned air for ventilation
and energy-efficient refrigerators.
He said office and apartment
buildings can benefit from occupancy sensors and high-efficiency LED signs, which involve large
numbers of small light-emitting
units with only a fraction of the
electrical current that other lights
require. He said they cost more
but use so little electricity they
pay back quickly.

bucks, it’s better than Starbucks.”
WHAT TO DO IN GREEN RIVER?
Randolph said the new Green
River Main Street/URA board,
along with the City Council and
city staff “need to come up with a
plan. Look for projects that can
bring activity back to your downtown. The main thing about Main
Street, if you do it right you will
motivate your volunteer base, because it is all volunteer driven.
You guys cannot do all the work,
it has to be up to the volunteers,
and you have to be able to guide
and reward them. That’s the
whole key.”
Randolph said the Wyoming
Main Street organization asks all
the local Main Street groups to
follow the same basic structure.
It has four prongs: organization, design, promotion and economic restructuring, she said.
The “organization” piece is intended “to get everyone working
towards the same vision for their
downtown,” she stated. The “design” function is the physical aspect of it, what to do to get a
downtown into “top physical
shape,” she said. The “promotion” aspect involves reaching out
to the community and its subcommunities to get more people
to visit downtown. And the “economic restructuring” component
involves getting existing businesses busier, identifying business gaps and bringing in new
businesses.
Councilman Jim Boan urged
construction of an ice-skating
rink, perhaps in Centennial Park,
as a all-season attraction to the
downtown area.
“It truly takes time,” Randolph
said. “Start with the low hanging
fruit, something small that people
can see and you can point to and
say, Main Street got this done.
Don’t start with something that
will take ten years and people will
ask, what are they doing?
Killpack asked, “Let’s say we
hired you today, Jim and Mary.
What are the first five things you
would do?”
“I would say, get a plan in place
and only address small things,”
Davis replied. “And I would focus

on the four Main Street points.
And try to get the community to
join and work on a fundraiser.”
Hughes asked, if that would be
“the signature event.”
Davis said “yes.” He added that
he “would not worry about the
Tomahawk (Hotel renovation).
It’s too big, too big of a project. It
is something that needs to be
done but I would not put all my
eggs in it. You are not ready.
That’s a lot of money that needs
to go into that.”
Alvarez asked about improvements to and around the Clock
Tower on Flaming Gorge War
near City Hall.
“I would walk downtown and
find a building that’s pretty small
that I could get spruced up, even
if I just painted it,” replied Davis.
Alvarez suggested “feeding off
the railroad history.”
Davis said he envied Green
River its pedestrian viaduct over
the railroad yard. “I wish I had
that pedestrian walkway,” he said.
“Can I buy it from you? Have a
Christmas stroll on it. We have a
teddy bear parade each year,”
Davis recalled, “we just asked
kids to come on a Saturday in December, and the kids love it.
They’d bring their parents, walk
two blocks holding a teddy bear.
We gave bears away, and later
gave them a movie to watch while
the parents went shopping. We’ve
been doing the teddy bear parade
since 1988 every year.”
Killpack noted that in Green
River, “We do the Santa Claus.”
“Yeah,” Davis said. “Do little
things. Find an anchor.” He said
the teddy bear children are adults
now, with strong affectionate feelings for Evanston’s downtown
from their days as Teddy Bear
walk participants. That, Davis
said, inclines them to shop in the
downtown area now.
Randolph said there is an art
gallery on Main Street in Rawlins.
Hughes said she would like to
see an artist colony in Green River. There already is the Arts
Council and the artwork along
Uinta Drive, she noted.
Alvarez said the city of Colorado Springs is making senior
citizen residences in the top floor
of empty downtown buildings,
and using the middle floor for cooperative housing and the ground
floor, in one building, as a gallery.
“They keep it running with rent
from upstairs, and rent from the
gallery spaces,” she said.
Davis suggested stringing
Christmas lights along the
viaduct.
Boan said he has been trying to
make that happen for 15 years.
“Well, this is the year,” Hughes
said.
“And have some fun doing it,”
Davis said.

Living History
: The Holy Spirit Catholic School hosted a history of the
holy rosary on Oct. 21. It is a summary of the Christian faith in a language and prayers inspired by the Bible. The origin of this devotion
is traditionally connected with Saint Dominic, who was in Spain in
the 13th century. He founded the Order of Preachers. Members are
called the Dominicans. He went to France as a missionary to convert
some people. One day the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to Dominic
while holding a rosary in her hand. She told him the gift of the rosary
would convert sinners and obtain great graces from God. Saint Dominican taught the people how to say the rosary and remember important events in the lives of Jesus and Mary.
ROCK SPRINGS
RELIGION BRIEFS
Rules for Nebraska
counselors still mired
in gay debate
LINCOLN, Neb. — A coalition of social workers, psychologists and family therapists demanded Monday that the state
adopt rules that would require
certain mental health professionals to offer referrals to gay
patients if they refuse to treat
them because of religious beliefs.
Terry Werner, who heads the
Nebraska chapter of the National Association of Social Workers, said such referrals are already required in the code of
ethics that governs each profession in the group. But he said
the state’s Division of Public
Health has yet to adopt the
same language for so-called licensed independent mental
health practitioners, a position
the Legislature created in 2007.
The new independent position allows qualified mental
health practitioners who serve
as counselors, social workers
and therapists to diagnose and
treat mental illnesses without
formal medical supervision.
Werner said the proposed regulations have sat untouched by
the Division of Public Health
since mid-2010.
The coalition has filed a petition demanding that the Department of Health and Human
Services advance the rules.
Without such rules, the practitioners have “no formal guidance regarding their profession,”
the petition states. “Since the
Legislature’s creation of this
category of professionals in
2007, there have been no rules
or regulations governing these
professionals.”
Jim Cunningham, executive
director of the Nebraska
Catholic Conference, has said
psychologists, therapists and
other licensed counselors
should be able to refuse to treat
clients because of religious or
moral convictions and not have
to refer them to another therapist. Their concern rose largely
from an Iowa Supreme Court
ruling that allowed same-sex
marriage, raising the prospect
that gay couples could come to
Nebraska therapists for marriage counseling.
Bible study group
sues schools for
alleged civil
rights violations
OWASSO, Okla. (AP) — A before-school Bible study group
has sued Owasso Public
Schools, claiming the department censored the group’s fliers
and handouts.
The lawsuit was filed in federal court in Tulsa by the Alliance
Defense Fund on behalf of
Owasso Kids for Christ. It alleges the school unconstitutionally prohibits the group from
distributing religious fliers, from
taking part in an open house
and from using the school’s
public address system.
The plaintiffs argue that
groups such as the Boy Scouts,
Girl Scouts and YMCA are allowed such access.
School Superintendent Clark
Ogilvie said on the district’s
Web site that the issue is “misconstrued and taken out of context.” He said the district doesn’t deny religious groups access
to the schools — but said they
must follow school policies.

them for help, if only in your head. Call on
them to open your eyes to opportunity.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Someone recognizes
your deep, soulful desire even though you
never said out loud what it is. This is no
small coincidence; it’s a sign of an unfolding miracle.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You’re not
alone. You have lots of friends, many of
whom are invisible. That’s why, even when
you’re by yourself, you feel a wonderful
sense of belonging. A silent community
showers you with love.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Negative
thoughts become reality just like positive
thoughts do. Stay positive. Your connection with a fellow earth sign will help matters — and that’s Capricorn or Taurus.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your mood
may go up and down if you allow yourself
to be a victim of circumstances. So don’t
allow it. Remind yourself that you’re the
creator here, and you can create happiness from wherever you are.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) You have dreams
that have never seen the light of day.
Maybe you haven’t even uttered them to
your nearest and dearest. They need air to
grow. Bring them into the open. Write
them in a notebook. It’s an excellent start!
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Every time you
read, you learn something. But it’s action
that will really drive the lesson home.
You’ll get your hands dirty with the nuts
and bolts of making a project work, and
you’ll love every minute.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) You’ll make
phone calls, line up appointments and
generally get busy preparing for a certain
reality. Make sure it’s the reality you want
instead of the one you fear.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You won’t
waste time trying to make things fit that
just don’t. Your life is like a puzzle. The
pieces that don’t belong in your picture
will be gently cast to the side.

DEAR ABBY
WONDERWORD By
David Ouellet
Sunday, Oct. 30, 2011
MOMMA by Mel Lazarus
By Abigail Van Buren
DEAR ABBY: I relocated to a
new area a year ago and, after several hair color disasters, finally
found a great stylist/colorist,
“Raphael.” The problem is, he
constantly hits on me even
though he’s married. He emails
and calls me frequently. I told him
I’d be willing to see him after
hours only if his wife, the salon receptionist, is aware of it. He said,
“No, don’t tell her.”
Raphael tries to lure me into the
salon after closing by promising
free services, which I decline.
There’s no question that this is
more than the simple flattery
most male stylists give their
clients. That he’s trying to cheat
on his wife makes me extremely
uncomfortable. The salon is
across from my apartment, so
when he sees me come out he always asks me to have dinner. I
have taken to walking a different
route.
I don’t want to look for a new
stylist after all the mess I had to
go through to find Raphael. How
can I communicate clearly that I
love the way he does my hair, but
I’m not interested otherwise? I
don’t want to make things awkward, but I have tried everything
and he won’t take the hint. — DISTRESSED IN BETHESDA, MD.
DEAR DIS-TRESSED: There’s a
reason why Raphael’s wife is his
receptionist. Raphael may think
he is irresistible because he has
done this successfully with other
customers.
The next time he makes a move
on you, tell him PLAINLY you’re
not interested and that his actions
are embarrassing. You will probably have to find another hairdresser
afterward
because
Raphael appears to have a giant
ego and may not take rejection
well. An excellent way to find one
is to ask women whose hairstyles
and color you like. In fact, I’m advising you to start doing that right
away before your roots start
showing.
DEAR ABBY: I have been dating
“Cameron” for five years. We’re in
graduate school, have a wonderful
relationship and are discussing
marriage. I get along well with his
parents, but some things have just
come out about his father and I
don’t know how to deal with it.
Two years ago we discovered
that Cameron’s father had been
having an affair. He promised to
stop seeing the woman, get a restraining order so she’d leave him
alone and work on his marriage. It
seems he lied. We have found out
that he has continued to see her.
His mother said she’d try counseling with him, and if he didn’t
live up to his promise, she’d divorce him. It has been months
and they’re still in counseling. His
dad isn’t allowed to live at home
with her. I’m furious with
Cameron’s father for being such
an idiot.
Please tell me how to handle
this because although I never
want to see the man again, I may
have to. — WALKING ON
EGGSHELLS IN DELAWARE
DEAR
WALKING
ON
EGGSHELLS: Cameron’s parents’
marriage has hit a “rough patch.”
However, they’re both trying to repair it. While you may be disgusted with Cameron’s father, you
have no reason to be “furious”
with him — his wife does. So for
everyone’s sake, cool off and think
rationally.

PHOTO ESSAY
Celebrate the Halloween season trick-or-treating and eating lots of candy. This year, artistic pumpkin
carvings will be seen throughout Rock Springs. Paul Schurman, a local resident, has taken his inspira-

tion a step further and will have on display more than 30 pumpkins with Disney, sports and movie characters.
Let your creativity
shine this Halloween
ROCK SPRINGS — Paul and
Shae Schurman of Rock Springs
have outdone themselves this
year by designing and carving a
combination of real and foam
pumpkins for Halloween.
In the past, the couple only
carved seven to eight pumpkins
each year. Over the past 10 years,
creativity and enjoyment has captured Paul’s attention.
“I enjoy Halloween — but it’s
not the same as it used to be — I
was hoping we would have a
pumpkin carving contest,” Paul
said.
Some of the patterns used were
from
ZombiePumpkins.com.
Paul said he has traced some of
the patterns, while others he designed himself.
“The foam pumpkins were a little easier — because you know
the depth of the pumpkin,” said
Paul. “The real pumpkins just
don’t last — if you get a week,
that’s about the life of the pumpkin,” Shae said.
Last year was Paul’s first time
carving a foam pumpkin. “We
picked up all the foam pumpkins
at the beginning of October in
Park City. It took us two weeks to
carve them,” Paul said.
Every year the Schurmans
carve pumpkins with their family.
This year, they will be displaying
the pumpkins at Shae’s mother’s
house in Rock Springs at 516
Cherry Creek.

Paul and Shae Schurman of Rock Springs carved 33 pumpkins for Halloween. Paul’s newest and most intricate carving was the Prisoners
of War Missing in Action veteran’s logo.
“I’ve also got dozens of Disney
characters,” Paul said. “We’ll just
be at my mom’s to let people see
the pumpkins on Halloween,”
Shae said.
Next year, Paul hopes to carve
more than 50 pumpkins and donate them to children charities.
“It’s going to be more elaborate;
I’m going to get more decorations,” Paul said.
Some of the characters used include: Dora the Explorer, Sponge-
James Sullivan, aka “Sully,” and
Mike Wazowski of Monster’s Inc.

“Were hoping eventually we
can get other people to follow,
and decorate a lot more,” the couple said.

The Schurman’s hope to inspire the community to celebrate the Halloween season with friends and family and not be afraid to express your creativity.
