Balow, Ceballos competitive in race for superintendent office
CHEYENNE (AP) — Wyoming voters will be choosing a
new state schools chief Tuesday following years of tumult
in the K-12 public education system under Superintendent
Cindy Hill.
Republican Jillian Balow and Democrat Mike Ceballos
each say they have the right background and leadership
skills to stabilize the department and lead Wyoming’s educational system forward.
“We need to heal a pretty broken system and a broken
Department of Education, and we need to move education
forward,” Balow said.
“What we’re just lacking is that ability to step in and
really lead and help people understand and get them
involved,” Ceballos said.
It’s the most competitive of five statewide positions up
for election this year. The others are governor, secretary of
state, auditor and treasurer.
Hill’s tenure featured a bitter fight with the Republicandominated Legislature and GOP Gov. Matt Mead over her
administration of the Department of Education. The
Legislature and Mead enacted a law in 2013 removing Hill
from the agency, but the law was overturned by a divided
state Supreme Court as unconstitutional.
Hill then challenged Mead for governor, but she finished
a distant third in the primary.
Balow is a former teacher who now works as an administrator with the Department of Family Services.
“So I certainly have that experience and depth of understanding of both education, leadership and government,”
she said.

Holy Name to host Remembrance
Mass for All Saints’ Day
BY ALISA BRANTZ
THE SHERIDAN PRESS
SHERIDAN — In the Western secular
world, Halloween — a time for costumes
and candy — is over, but in much of the
religious world All Hallows’ Eve, or
Hallowe’en for short, is just the beginning
of the celebration.
Today is the Solemnity of All Saints or
All Saints’ Day, a holy day of obligation
and a day of feast recognized by the
Catholic Church and parts of Western
Christianity on Nov. 1 celebrating all
saints, known and unknown.
In England, saints and holy people are
called "hallowed" and the evening (e’en for
short) before All Saints Day used to serve
as a day of fast before the feast, though this
observance is no longer required.
In the Roman Catholic Church, Nov. 2 is
All Souls' Day, which specifically commemorates the departed who have not yet been
purified and reached heaven.
Catholics celebrate All Saints' Day and
All Souls' Day in the belief that there is a
spiritual communion between those who
have died and are either being purified in
purgatory or are in heaven and the living.
Other Christian traditions remember the
saints in different ways.
According to Trinity Communications, a
nonprofit organization that operates
CatholicCulture.org, the exact origins of
this celebration are uncertain, although,
after the legalization of Christianity in
A.D. 313, a common commemoration of the
saints, especially the martyrs, appeared in
various areas throughout the church.
The designation of Nov. 1 as the feast of
All Saints occurred over time.
According to some accounts, Pope
Gregory III (731-741) dedicated an oratory
in the original St. Peter's Basilica in honor
of all the saints on Nov. 1, but according to
early Church historian, John Beleth, it was
Pope Gregory IV (827-844) who officially
declared Nov. 1 the feast of All Saints.
Some may question how a religious celebration of saints could have ties to a holiday often linked with paganism,
Halloween.
In Celtic tradition, Oct. 31 was a time of
pagan sacrifice when Samhain, the Celtic
lord of death, allowed the soils of the dead
to return to earth to harm the people who
had wronged them in life.
To protect themselves from the spirits,
the Druids burned sacrifices in a large bonfire while wearing animal heads and skins.
Other groups of origin throughout time
and history have developed their own lore
with the celebration.
With the spread of Christianity and the
establishment of All Saints Day, some of
these pagan customs remained in the
English-speaking world for All Hallows
Eve, forming Halloween as we know it
today.
However, Trinity Communications states
that both the feast of All Saints and the
feast of All Souls evolved in the life of the
church independently of paganism and
Halloween, linked by Oct. 31 being recognized as the last day of summer.
All Saints’ Day, they say, was deemed necessary and appropriate after a time when
the number of martyrs became too numerous too fast for a day in honor of each one.
During the persecution of Emperor
Diocletion (284-305) many martyrs died in
groups and a common feast day for all
saints and martyrs was attested to in sermons as early as 373.
Today, many churches celebrate the day
not just by honoring all saints and martyrs,
but also remembering loved one who have
passed and praying for the direction of
their own souls.
Locally, Holy Name Catholic Church celebrates All Saints’ Day with a Remembrance
Mass intended to also honor recently
deceased parishioners and relatives.
All members of the community are invited to attend at 11 a.m. today at 260 E.

Ebola has crystallized the collapse of trust

Ebola after having traversed significant
parts of New York City between his return
and his infection — the czar essentially disappeared. Perhaps he is practicing self-quarantine.
But there's a third factor contributing to
the nation's deepening anxiety — a sense of
helplessness and confusion abroad as, in the
delicate phrase of our secretary of defense,
"the world is exploding all over."
Most voters don't care about the details of
Ukraine, the factions in Libya or the precise
battle lines of the Islamic State. But they do
have a palpable sense of American weakness.
This was brought home most profoundly
by the videotaped beheadings of James
Foley and Steven Sotloff. It wasn't just the
savagery that affected so many Americans
but the contempt shown by these savages for
America — its power, its resolve. Here is a
JV team (Obama's erstwhile phrase) defying
the world's great superpower, daring it to
engage, confident that America will fail or
flee.
Obama got a ratings bump when he finally
bestirred himself to order airstrikes and
vowed to "degrade and ultimately destroy"
the Islamic State. Yet almost two months
later, there is a realization that the disorganized, halfhearted, ad hoc U.S. reaction has
made little difference. The vaunted 60-country coalition is nowhere to be seen. The barbarians are even closer to the gate.
Moreover, U.S. flailing is not just demoralizing at home. It is energizing the very worst
people abroad. Being perceived as what
Osama bin Laden called the "strong horse"
is, for a messianic movement on the march,
the ultimate recruiting tool.
Will this affect the election? While there is
widespread dissatisfaction with the administration's handling of the Islamic State, in
most races it has not risen to the level of
major campaign issue. Its principal effect is
to reinforce an underlying, pre-existing
sense of drift and disarray.
The anemic economy, the revulsion with
governmental incompetence and the sense of
national decline are, taken together, exacting a heavy toll on Democratic candidates.
After all, they represent not just the party
now in government but the party of government.
This portends a bad night for Democrats
on Tuesday. State-by-state polls show continued Democratic control of the Senate to be
highly tenuous.
With one caveat. Democrats could make it
up with the so-called ground game (i.e., getting out the vote on Election Day) that polls
do not measure. Just a fraction of the
unprecedented success the Democrats
enjoyed in 2012 in identifying and turning
out their voters (especially young, female
and minority) could shift the results by one
or two points. That, in turn, could tilt several of the knife-edge, margin-of-error Senate
races in their favor and transform what
would otherwise be a Republican sweep into
something of a stalemate.
This could happen. More likely, however,
is that the ground-game differential is
minor, in which case the current disenchantment — with disorder and diminishment —
simply overwhelms the governing
Democrats.
The stage is set for a major Republican victory. If they cannot pull it off under conditions so politically favorable, perhaps they
might consider looking for another line of
work.

LETTER |
A lesson in vocabulary for the optimistic
Y
A5
ou know how I do love Martha Beck, Life
Coach Extraordinaire. She sent out this
great blog post a few weeks ago that really
spoke to me.
In it, she described the term, pronoia. As the
opposite of paranoia, she defines it as believing that people and circumstances are secretly
conspiring to help and benefit you. I’ve looked it up in
the dictionary and turns out
Martha made pronoia up.
Who cares? I make up words
all the time to suit my needs
and use words in bizarre contexts.
Example of my made up
words: stuade. Pronounced
AMY
stwade. It can mean whatever
ALBRECHT
you want but I generally use
|
it like this, “You are totally
going against the stuade.”
Isn’t that a super fun word?
Or I’ll replace the interrogative, “seriously?”
with “cereal?” My friends say they frequently
have to consult the Amy Dictionary to translate. You can become fluent pretty quickly
though.
Ok, so back to pronoia. If you’ve spent any
time reading this column, you know that I am
a relentless optimist so suffering from (or reveling in) pronoia is pretty easy for me. It’s
those whose usual attitude is that the world
hates them who make for the best viewing
when succumbing to pronoia. Instead of heading down the spiral of negativity and gloom,
those who have a case of pronoia (even early
onset) will take a deep breath, reframe and say
out loud, “This isn’t that bad. It could be so
much worse. I am going to consider this a
growth experience.” You can’t help but do a
double take.
Associating with Pronoids (I’m thinking of
having satin jackets made for members) is
mood-altering. They don’t allow you to wallowor whine (at least not for long). They find
the bright side. Pronoids cheerlead and
Taxes and pennies;
it’s all relative
encourage. It’s why this condition is so contagious — when you’re being relentlessly
attacked by positivity, it wears down your negative defenses, causes spontaneous snickering
and results in rueful smiles.
Don’t think you could ever be a candidate for
a pronoia transplant? Think again. It’s all
about quarantining yourself with those who
share the malady you seek. Instead of being a
prepper for something that’s going to drive you
to an underground bunker of fear, be a prepper for pronoia. Load in large supplies of
jokes, fun, inspiration, hilarity and nuttiness.
Spend extra for the high quality laughter. It’s
worth it. Extend the invite to those who will
bring their own super size boxes and bags of
silly. Spread this epidemic. Because what if —
gasp! — they’re right? What if the universe
and its inhabitants really are conspiring to
make you happy? Best you be ready for it.

Re: $100 gees goes a long
way
For the fifth penny,
Optional One-Cent Sales
tax, to cost me a $1,000 per
year, I believe I would
have to spend $100,000 on
taxable items.
If I had $100,000 a year
to spend on those taxable
items, I would be more
than happy to spend
$1,000 of it on taxes!
Also, as it has been
pointed out many times,
all of the fifth penny
comes back to Sheridan
County, unlike the first
four pennies.

FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON (AP) — A collection of
quotes and remembrances of longtime
Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee from
those who knew him from the Watergate
era and beyond:
“To be honest, I was frightened. Bob and I
M
were 28 and 29 years old. Raw threats from
the former attorney general, the official
closest to Nixon, was not normal in the
course of business as we knew it. ... Ben
didn’t miss a beat. He was not just cool, but
‘hey this is a great story, get it in the paper
fast.’
— Former Washington Post journalist
Carl Bernstein remembering Bradlee’s
leadership of the newspaper’s Watergate
coverage.
“He was a journalistic warrior,
unequaled and probably never to be
matched. He had the courage of an army, a
lion in all seasons. He wanted his newspaper to be like the Navy destroyer he served
on in World War II. ... Not chronologically
but psychologically, Ben’s passing is in
some respects and in some very clear ways
marks the end of the 20th century. He is
gone, and for that we are diminished, and
the world is smaller. I will never forget the
leadership and the smile of this man we
loved so much.”
— Bob Woodward, now an associate editor at The Washington Post.
Fortify yourself for Tuesday’s election returns
ix a pitcher of martinis Tuesday evening to fortify
yourself against the torrent of election returns
painting a pointillist portrait of the nation's mind.
Before you become too mellow to care, consider some
indexes of our civic tendencies.
Voting began, and "persuasion campaigning" receded,
weeks ago. Mobilization measures became more important
than ads. Saturation spending on ads
makes for a steep decline in the utility of
the last dollars spent on them. In the
2012 presidential race, $46 million was
spent on 56,837 ads in Las Vegas; $30 million was spent on 39,259 in Columbus,
Ohio. Ads become audible wallpaper,
there but not really noticed.
Future campaign money may increasingly be spent on the expensive, because
GEORGE
labor-intensive, business of identifying
WILL
and prodding to the polls likely supporters. Tammany Hall did this 150 years
|
ago, although its infantry did not carry
smartphones with apps sending data
about voters to the campaigns.
In midterm elections, turnout usually is "frail and pale,"
meaning older and whiter than in presidential elections,
when three Democratic-leaning constituencies — minorities, young people and unmarried women — are more apt
to vote. If Democratic candidates run ahead of their endof-campaign polls, this will indicate that their party
retains its mobilization advantage.
If Republicans narrowly win Senate control, their joy
should be tempered by this fact: In 2016, they will be
defending 24 of the 34 seats at issue. These will include
three in states that are among the 18 that have voted
Democratic in at least six consecutive presidential elections. These Republican seats are Pat Toomey's in
Pennsylvania, Ron Johnson's in Wisconsin and Mark
Kirk's in Illinois.
Because Senate control is at issue, insufficient attention
has been paid to 2014's most important election, which is
in the worst-governed state. Illinois' incumbent governor
is Pat Quinn, a compliant time-server who floated up from
lieutenant governor when Rod Blagojevich became the
fourth of the previous nine governors to be imprisoned.
The state has high unemployment, low growth and more
than $100 billion in unfunded pension liabilities. If voters
ratify the state's trajectory by re-electing Quinn, he will
accelerate the downward spiral by continuing policies that
have produced it, beginning by making permanent the
"temporary" tax increases. Republicans will win if their
candidate, businessman Bruce Rauner, wins and delivers,
among other things, a campaign to term limit the state legislators who, collaborating with government employees
unions, buy job permanence using money looted from taxpayers.
Republicans also will win if Quinn wins, thereby making Illinois a scary example to the nation of the terrible
toll taken by the "blue model" of governance. Although
U.S. law allows a one-party city like Detroit to go bankrupt, there is no provision for state bankruptcies. Hence a
Quinn victory would provide, perhaps within his next
term, hair-raising excitement for Illinois' masochistic electorate as lenders recoil from America's Argentina.
Kansas' Republican governor Sam Brownback is in a
close race with a Democrat who is severely critical of
Brownback's tax cuts — but who does not say he would
repeal them. Wisconsin's Republican governor Scott
Walker is in a close race with a Democrat who is severely
critical of Walker's limitations on government workers
unions — but who does not say she would completely
repeal them. Tuesday will tell if these unheroic straddles
succeed.
We govern through parties and this autumn President
Obama's has repudiated him. Tuesday will supply evidence of not only how little pulse Obama's presidency still
has, but how much damage he has done to his party.
Before he led it to its 2010 debacle, it controlled 62 state legislative chambers to the Republicans' 36. Entering Tuesday
Republicans led Democrats, 59-39. (Subtract two chambers
because Nebraska's Legislature is unicameral and nonpartisan.) Can Democrats stop the hemorrhaging?
Earnest improvers, eager to tightly wrap the regulatory
state's tentacles around the democratic process, say the
Republic is ruined because about $1 billion has been spent
on ads in the 2014 cycle electing governors, senators and
representatives. Considering the enormous consequences
the political class has as it sloshes trillions of dollars hither and yon, it is strange that in selecting the 2015 members
of this class Americans spent less than half the $2.2 billion they spent last month on Halloween candy.
In this autumn of antic rhetoric, Hillary Clinton
achieved almost sublime silliness: "Don't let anybody tell
you ... it's corporations and businesses that create jobs."
Her subsequent clarification was that this "short-handed"
her economic thinking. We are going to need a lot more
gin and vermouth.

HEALTH WATCH |
TODAY IN HISTORY |
From fin
to fork
FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
A shopping guide
for sheridan fish
F
ish is an excellent health choice for
many reasons. It is 20-40 percent
lower in calories than most beef
and pork cuts, averages just as
much protein, and is the best healthy
animal source of conditionally essential
fats docosohexaenoic acid (DHA) and
eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). These fats
are commonly called omega-3 fats.
Omega-3 is a very difficult nutrient
to get in the typical Sheridan diet. In
fact, for the past five years teaching
nutrition at Sheridan College and
reviewing over 240 student intakes of
this nutrient, I saw very few diets that
actually met the recommendations without supplements.
The adult USDA suggested average daily
intake of omega-3 is
1.6 grams for males
and 1.1 grams a day
for females. This is
roughly the amount
GEORGIA
in 3 ounces of wild
BOLEY
Alaskan salmon (3
ounces is the size of a
|
deck of cards), or 6
ounces of wild
caught rainbow trout. Though the
standard recommendations are to have
4 ounces of fish two times a week, you
can see that this only puts a dent in
meeting your average daily needs.
Many people reach for supplements to
assure this nutrient is met. By increasing certain plant foods, you can also
greatly increase your average omega-3
intake.
Considering we are land-locked, our
grocery stores are full of an amazing
fresh, frozen and canned fish selection. All these choices can be difficult
to navigate, especially when following
all the cautionary ‘fish tails’ like mercury and polychlorinated biphenyls
(PCB) contaminate exposure, and the
need to support sustainable fishing
practices.
To help Sheridanites put the best
fish on their plate, I made a top five
fish list. The choices are based on
omega-3 content, contamination ratings, sustainable fishing practices and
affordability. Resources used include
the USDA nutrient database,
Environmental Working Group (EWG),
The Monterey Bay Aquarium's
Seafood Watch app, Wyoming Game
and Fish and Sheridan grocery store
prices.
Top five fish list
1. Anything locally caught, (except
bottom feeders like carp and Walleye
out of Big Horn Reservoir greater
than 15 inches) especially rainbow
trout: This is the freshest choice and
requires the bonus of outdoor exercise
to get it. Price: I like to think of the
$24 a year fishing license and tackle as
an investment.
2. Pacific sardines packed in water
or olive oil: For some great sardine
recipes, check out www.chow.com.
Price: 0.80 cents for 3 ounces.
3. U.S. rainbow trout (farmed): EWG
rated farmed rainbow trout as a ‘Best
Choice’ because it typically has higher
omega-3 content than wild caught and
has a low contaminate rating.
Monterey Bay’s Health Watch rates it
as a ‘Best Choice’ because it’s farmed
in an ecologically sustainable way.
Price: $1.12 for 3 ounces.
4. Canned wild Alaska salmon:
Though fresh frozen is also just as
great, it is not as affordable. Both are
rated ‘Best Choice’ by EWG and Health
Watch. Price: $1.50 for 3 ounces
canned, $1.69 for 3 ounces fresh frozen.
5. Farmed mussels (not trawled) –
EWG and Health Watch both consider
farmed mussels a ‘Best Choice.’ Price:
$0.75 cents for 3 ounces (weight
includes shell).

Today’s Highlight in History:
On Nov. 1, 1950, two Puerto
Rican nationalists tried to force
their way into Blair House in
Washington, D.C. to assassinate
President Harry S. Truman. The
attempt failed, and one of the
pair was killed, along with a
White House police officer.
On this date:
In 1512, Michelangelo finished
painting the ceiling of the
Vatican’s Sistine Chapel.
In 1765, the Stamp Act went
into effect, prompting stiff resistance from American colonists.
In 1861, during the Civil War,
President Abraham Lincoln
named Maj. Gen. George B.
McClellan General-in-Chief of
the Union armies, succeeding Lt.
Gen. Winfield Scott.
In 1870, the United States
Weather Bureau made its first
meteorological observations.
In 1936, in a speech in Milan,
Italy, Benito Mussolini described
the alliance between his country
and Nazi Germany as an “axis”
running between Rome and
Berlin.
In 1944, “Harvey,” a comedy by
Mary Chase about a man and his
friend, an invisible six-foot-tall
rabbit, opened on Broadway.
In 1949, an Eastern Airlines
DC-4 collided in midair with a
Lockheed P-38 fighter plane near
Washington National Airport,
killing all 55 people aboard the
DC-4 and seriously injuring the
pilot of the P-38.
In 1952, the United States
exploded the first hydrogen
bomb, code-named “Ivy Mike,” at
Enewetak Atoll in the Marshall
Islands.
In 1968, the Motion Picture
Association of America unveiled
its new voluntary film rating system: G for general, M for mature
(later changed to GP, then PG), R
for restricted and X (later
changed to NC-17) for adults only.
In 1973, following the
“Saturday Night Massacre,”
Acting Attorney General Robert
H. Bork appointed Leon Jaworski
to be the new Watergate special
prosecutor, succeeding Archibald
Cox.
In 1979, former first lady
Mamie Eisenhower died in
Washington, D.C. at age 82.
In 1989, East Germany
reopened its border with
Czechoslovakia, prompting tens
of thousands of refugees to flee
to the West.
Ten years ago: Democratic
presidential candidate Howard
Dean stirred controversy within
his party by telling the Des
Moines Register he wanted to be
“the candidate for guys with
Confederate flags in their pickup
trucks.” (The former Vermont
governor explained that he
intended to encourage the return
of Southern voters who had
abandoned the Democrats for
decades but were disaffected with
the Republicans.)
Five years ago: Democrat
Barack Obama and Republican
John McCain plunged through
the final weekend of their
marathon race for the White
House; McCain poked fun at his
campaign’s financial shortcomings and his reputation as a political maverick in an appearance
on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live.”
Machinists union members ratified a new contract with The
Boeing Co., ending an eight-week
strike.
One year ago: President
Barack Obama returned to the
campaign trail, after canceling
campaign appearances to focus
on Superstorm Sandy. Motorists
in the New York City area and in
New Jersey faced a second day of
enormous lines at gas stations;
many stations were still shut
down in the aftermath of the
storm because they didn’t have
gasoline or were without power
to run the pumps. Five days
before the election, figures were
released showing that new unemployment claims were down,
worker productivity was up, auto
sales and retail sales were rising
and consumer confidence was at
the highest level since a year
before Obama took office.
Thought for Today: “God give
me strength to face a fact though
it slay me.” — Thomas Huxley,
English biologist (1825-1895).

Religious talk: Salem school bars church leader
SALEM, Ore. (AP) — A church
youth leader has been barred from
volunteering at a Salem public school
after a student said he was promoting
Christianity and insulted her for
being an atheist.
The principal at Straub Middle
School, Laura Perez, said that Tim
Saffeels will not be allowed back as a
volunteer for the remainder of the
school year, the Salem Statesman
Journal reported Friday.
Saffeels, director of student ministries at Salem Heights Church, said
students initiated a conversation
about religion, but he denied insulting the student who complained about
an Oct. 23 lunch conversation.
Eighth-grader Shelby Conway said
in an email that Saffeels asked students for their religious beliefs and,
when she said she is an atheist, told
her that atheism is “wrong,” ‘’bad,”
‘’stupid” and “evil.”
Perez said that violates school policy, which prohibits visitors from “promotion or inhibition of religion in
any form ...”
“I decided that I’m not going to
allow him in because to me there was
a breach of trust there,” Perez said.
Volunteers supervise students during lunch and serve as role models.
They make sure students are picking
up after themselves, Perez said.
The student said she was “very
uncomfortable and personally offended with the way he was speaking to
both me and other non-Christians
around the lunch room.”
Saffeels said he sat down at a table
with a student from the church when
students started asking about religion.
“I wasn’t in any way trying to force
any of those things,” Saffeels said.
“They actually did literally ask me
‘Who is Jesus?’ “
He denied making the comments
Conway attributed to him about atheism. Perez said she that after the current school year, she would revisit
whether to allow Saffeels back into
Straub.
Jury rules for ex-university official in lawsuit
SCRANTON, Pa. (AP) — A former state
university administrator in northeastern
Pennsylvania is not guilty of allegations
that he sexually harassed or assaulted students, a jury ruled Friday.
The verdict in the federal civil rights
trial was issued in favor of Isaac Sanders,
the former vice president of advancement
at East Stroudsburg University.
The Pocono Record said Sanders’ lawyer
reported that he was elated and considers
it the first step toward vindicating his reputation.
Sanders was not in the courtroom when
the verdict was announced.
“A lot of terrible, terrible
things have been written
about Dr. Sanders. Rumors,
gossip, whispers have been
circulated and printed, but
when the time came for
these accusers to prove
their allegations, they
failed,” said the lawyer,
Harry Coleman. “Dr.
Sanders, through the jury’s
verdict, has been vindicated, and a lot of people owe
Dr. Sanders an apology.”
Three former university
students claimed Sanders
offered them campus jobs
and paid some of their
tuition in order to groom
them for sexual advances.
They alleged he groped
them, and one said Sanders
forced the student to perform oral sex on several
occasions.
Sanders was never
charged with a crime, but
the school fired him in 2008.
The lawsuit followed a year
later.
The newspaper reported
that the three plaintiffs
were consoled after the verdict by friends outside the
courtroom. They had
alleged Sanders was a predator who targeted emotionally fragile young black
men.

Jane Wilson
January 12, 1937 October 26, 2014
Jane Wilson of Sheridan,
Wyoming passed away peacefully on Sunday October 26,
2014.
Jane was born on a sunny
day in Pomona, California on
January 12, 1937. She and
her sisters enjoyed the outdoors and grew up running
barefoot through the southern
California
orange
groves. Jane graduated from
Chaffey High School and attended the University of California
Los Angeles and Foothill College where she earned a degree in
dental hygiene. She also earned a bachelor’s degree from the
University of Wyoming.
A sunny disposition and fondness for the outdoors permeated
her life – bright, cheerful, optimistic, and always up for adventure. Jane moved “west” to Sheridan in 1970 where she began
her teaching career at Sheridan College. In 1972 Jane married
veterinarian Dr. John Wilson, Jr. and they resided for many
years south of Sheridan at the base of the Bighorn Mountains.
Over the years they cared for the land and raised a variety of
animals including Maynard the orphan cow elk.
Jane immensely enjoyed horseback riding, especially cattle
drives and trail rides with friends in the mountains. A prodigious seamstress, she meticulously produced intricate handstitched quilts, embroidery, and hand-crafted clothing. Her
culinary talents pleased palates.
Jane was a kind and generous person that fully lived life with
grace and dignity. Jane is preceded in death by her husband Dr.
John Wilson in 2011 and her sister Linda. She is survived by
her sister Betty Franks of Laguna Woods, California; her sons
and daughters-in-law, Stan and Gay Ellen Vick of Atkins, Iowa
and Greg and Kathy Vick of Billings, Montana; and grandchildren James (& Hillary) Vick, Sam Vick, and Alex Emick.
Cremation is complete and at Jane’s request there will be no
funeral or religious service. Thank you to the numerous
friends, acquaintances, and family of Jane and John for heartfelt support. Jane will be missed by many.
Jane was a gentle person that loved animals and nature. If
inclined, donations may be made in the name of Dr. John and
Jane Wilson to the Dog and Cat Shelter, 84 East Ridge Road,
Sheridan, Wyoming 82801. Phone (307) 674-7694.

Judge orders release
of jailed Marine
SAN DIEGO (AP) — A Mexican judge has ordered
the immediate release of a jailed U.S. Marine veteran
who spent eight months behind bars for crossing the
border with loaded guns.
Family spokesman Jonathan Franks told The
Associated Press on Friday that the judge decided to
release retired Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi.
Franks said the judge released him without making
a determination on the charge against him.
The 26-year-old Florida man said he got lost on a
California freeway ramp that sent him across the border with no way to turn back. His long detention
brought calls for his freedom from U.S. politicians,
veterans groups and social media campaigns.
Mexico says he broke the law. His lawyer argued the
judge should order his release on humanitarian
grounds because Mexico has no experience in treating post-traumatic stress.
Lake Michigan waves
slam Chicago lakeshore
CHICAGO (AP) —
Winds gusting up to 65
mph caused Lake
Michigan waves to slam
into the Chicago shoreline, sending water onto
part of Lake Shore Drive.
The waves slowed traffic
and prompted the cancellation of a Halloween
attraction.
Parts of the scenic highway were flooded Friday,
leading to some lane closures. Traffic was
backed up for miles.
The high waves
prompted Navy Pier,
one of Chicago’s top
tourist attractions, to
close its eastern end.
Navy Pier officials also
canceled a haunted
house that’s located on a
barge. Officials say the
attraction will reopen
Saturday.
The National Weather
Service issued a
lakeshore flood advisory
to remain in effect until
4 a.m. Saturday. The
warning is forecasting
winds of up to 50 mph
and 23-foot waves.

Montana governor announces Ebola virus protocols
HELENA, Mont. (AP) — Montana Gov. Steve Bullock said
Friday health officials will monitor people returning to
the state from areas of West Africa affected by the Ebola
virus and those who may have been in contact with an
Ebola patient.
“These new protocols will help ensure the safety of those
potentially exposed to Ebola, and the safety of Montanans
as a whole,” Bullock said in a news release.
Currently five people in Montana are being monitored
for the virus, said Tim Crowe, spokesman for the state’s
Disaster and Emergency Services. Crowe said he couldn’t
disclose where in Montana the five people live. Two others
have completed the monitoring process with no signs of
the virus, he said.
The procedures include a twice-a-day review of symptoms for 21 days. Those being monitored must disclose
their plans for work, travel or visiting public places to
determine whether those activities will be allowed. The
costs to the state for monitoring are minimal, and the
money for the effort is coming from the Department of
Public Health and Human Services’ budget, Crowe said.
No automatic quarantines will be mandated in the state,
Bullock’s spokesman, Mike Wessler, said. People infected
with Ebola are not contagious until they have symptoms.
The virus is not spread through casual contact.
If anyone is found to have Ebola, full medical treatment
would begin immediately, Crowe said. He said he couldn’t
comment on whether anyone found to have the virus
would be quarantined at that point, saying each case is
individual.
“If anyone should develop any symptoms, the health
department will focus on patient safety, medical-provider
safety and public safety throughout the course of treatment,” Crowe said.
Governors in New Jersey and New York have been criticized for ordering mandatory quarantines for people arriving from West African countries where the outbreak has
sickened more than 13,000 people and killed nearly 5,000.
Earlier this month, Bullock appointed a team to coordinate Ebola-preparedness activities. It’s headed by Major
General Matt Quinn, who oversees emergency preparedness for the state, and includes representatives from the
Department of Public Health and Human Services,
Montana Department of Environmental Quality, Montana
Department of Transportation and the Governor’s Office
of Indian Affairs.
2 arrested as people flock to Hawaii lava
PAHOA, Hawaii (AP) — Two Hawaii residents have been
arrested for trespassing to see lava, police said Friday
amid growing interest from people eager to witness the
slow-moving flow.
Hawaii County police said officers saw a man and a
woman on county property Thursday taking photos within
5 feet of the lava in the small town of Pahoa.
The 65-year-old woman and 59-year-old man had two golf
clubs that had been dipped in lava, which had hardened on
the clubs, police said. They crossed private property to get
to the spot where they
watched the lava.
Hawaii County Civil
Defense Director Darryl
Oliveira said the county is
restricting the public’s
access to the lava flow to
keep people safe.
“It’s unfortunate. We
would hope we wouldn’t
have to take steps to enforce
the rules,” Oliveira told
reporters.
He said the lava is currently in people’s backyards. The county may be
able to enable public viewing if and when it enters
public land, he said.

able to manage the situation. In 1990, when lava poured
into Kalapana on the Big Island’s southern coast, parked
cars lined the roads and people crowded in to watch.
Tourists and Big Island residents have been streaming
into Pahoa for a glimpse of the lava since the flow edged
closer to the town’s main road. The influx of people has
been giving restaurants extra business.
Glen Bousquet, a tree trimmer from the nearby community of Nanawale, said he hiked to the flow multiple times
since the weekend and trespassed to do so. He followed the
glow through 6-foot-tall grass, he said.
“‘It’s so interesting to see nature unfolding. It’s like a
once in a lifetime chance to actually see it up close and
personal without having to wait for it to be on TV,” he
said. “You kind of get the real deal.”
Though he trespassed, he said he did so with “the utmost
respect” and didn’t break any fences or otherwise harm
anyone’s property.
But he said won’t go back because he doesn’t want to get
arrested.
Josiah Hunt, of the coastal town of Kapoho, said he
hiked to see the lava before it crossed Apaa Street, a country road on the edge of Pahoa last week. He wanted a look
because the molten rock was affecting life in the town and
the larger surrounding community of about 10,000 people.
“Somehow it helped me to come to grips . and feel a
sense of closure, to some degree,” he said. “It helps put an
image to it in your mind’s eye.”
He doesn’t think now is a good time to gather to see the
lava because it’s threatening homes.
Where will the weekend take you?

SHERIDAN — The Sheridan Broncs
were about an inch away from opening
last night’s playoff game against
Cheyenne Central the same way they
started against them in the regular season.
On the opening kickoff in the Broncs
victory on Oct. 10, Dontae Crow handed
the ball off to Joe Shassetz, who took the
ball to the house for a touchdown. Last
night, it was Shassetz handing the ball
off to Crow, and it looked like Crow was
going to mimic his teammate’s performance.
As Crow tiptoed up the sideline in
front of the Sheridan bench, he was
sprinting away from any and all Central
tacklers until a referee whistled the play
dead, signaling Crow stepped out of
bounds.
“It was right in front of us,” head
coach Don Julian said of the out-ofbounds call. “We didn’t think he stepped
out of bounds.”
It was the big plays that separated the
Broncs from the Indians in their earlier
matchup, but Crow’s almost-big play
wasn’t enough to get Sheridan going
early in Friday’s contest that ended in a
28-7 Bronc victory.
Both teams started out slow. After the
out-of-bounds call, the Broncs marched
into Central territory, but an offensive
facemask penalty forced them to punt.
The punt was a sign of things to come,
at least for the first half.

Lady Broncs move to No. 4 seed
with win over Cheyenne South
FROM STAFF REPORTS
SHERIDAN — The Sheridan High School volleyball team got off to a slow start in their opening round matchup in the 4A East regional tournament Friday, but still only needed three sets
to take down fifth-seeded Laramie.
The Lady Broncs had trouble stretching their
lead to open the match until a timeout by head
coach Maureen McEwen sparked a big scoring
run to win the first set. Hanging onto a 16-13
lead, the Lady Broncs came out of the timeout
and went on a 9-1 run to closeout the set. Senior
Megan Myers carried Sheridan through the
scoring spectacle with a handful of kills to help
her team win the set 25-14.
Sheridan was unable to string together any
long runs in the next two games, but they were
able to pull it out in the end to escape with two
close victories.
The score was tied at 22 in the second set
before a Dylan Wright spike gave the Lady
Broncs the lead and forced a Laramie timeout.
Sheridan came out of the timeout and was able
to hold of the Plainsmen to win 25-23.
The final set was similar to the second, with
neither team extending their lead more than a
few points until Sheridan ran away with the
final three points of the match. Leading 22-21,
Sheridan won the next two points before Robbi
Ryan and Myers teamed up for a match winning
block to advance the Lady Broncs to the second
round of the tournament.

Big Horn Rams earn
win against Lovell

Big Horn Ram Seth Kite is tackled during the game Friday night at Big Horn. The Rams defeated Lovell 23-12.
SHERIDAN — It was closer than
most people expected, but the Big
Horn Rams squeaked out a win
against Lovell to advance in the 2A
playoffs.
In the Rams first-ever home playoff night game, it was a back-andforth battle for the 24 minutes of
play before Big Horn was able to
pull ahead in the second half.
Lovell was only one of two teams
to hold Big Horn under 30 points
in the regular season, a 25-0 weekone Rams victory. The team’s
defense proved to be even tougher
last night, holding Big Horn to 16
first-half points.
The Rams led 10-6 before a 51yard score put the Bulldogs on top
12-10. The Rams responded with a
Kerry Powers touchdown with less
than a minute left in the half to
put the Rams on top again, this
time for good.
It took another 18 and a half
minutes for either team to score,
but it was a Christian Mayer
touchdown that helped Big Horn
secure the 23-12 victory and
advance to a semifinal rematch
with 7-2 Wheatland, the other team
to hold Big Horn under 30 points
this season.
The Big Horn versus Wheatland
matchup will be played at Big
Horn High School next week, but
the date and time has yet to be
determined. Be on the lookout for
updated tournament schedules in

Tongue River ends season with tough loss to Cokeville
FROM STAFF REPORTS
DAYTON — The Tongue River Eagles football team suffered a tough, season-ending loss to Cokeville Friday night
in the first round of the 1A playoffs.
The No.-1 ranked team in the 1A West, topped the team
from Dayton 55-0.
“They were everything I thought they would be,” Eagles
coach John Scott said about Cokeville Friday night. “We
try to convey that to the kids throughout the week that it
will take a giant effort to offset that, but Cokeville is physical, fast and really dominated us in every aspect of the
game.”
Scott added, though, that the game wasn’t all bad news
for his young squad.
Players at all levels hung in there, he said.
“We didn’t concede anything,” Scott said. “What they
got, they got by going over top of us.”
Dayton will graduate five seniors this year, but Scott said
that his young players got to see first-hand what a championship team looks like.
He noted that his team got better preparing for the game.
“The next step is to continue to build on what we’ve done
and develop physically and mentally,” Scott said. “If we
can have a commitment to that, we’ll find ourselves getting better each year and going deeper into the playoffs.”
The Eagles finish the season 5-4.

Lady Rams head
to regional championship game
BIG HORN — The Lady Rams volleyball team won
two matches Friday night to move into the 2A East
regional championship game, set for 4 p.m. today.
The Lady Rams will face Wright, a team that also
earned two wins Friday.
Big Horn topped Pine Bluffs in their first matchup of
the evening, winning in three sets (25-12, 25-12, 25-16).
“Our goal was to go in and take control right away,
and the girls did a great job of doing that,”
McLaughlin said Friday night. “We were ahead the
whole game, and really dominated them at the end.”
The coach noted that her team has been working on
maintaining focus and intensity throughout the
match, something that paid off in the team’s matchups
Friday.
In the second matchup of the evening, the Lady
Rams faced a little better competition against
Southeast. But, it wasn’t enough to keep Big Horn
from winning in three sets (25-17, 25-19, 25-23).
McLaughlin noted that Southeast is a scrappy team
that hung with the Lady Rams the entire time. She
said her team maintained its intensity in the first two
sets, but lost a little focus in the third.
“We made some critical errors and didn’t play our
best defense, so they caught up,” McLaughlin said.
“But we got our heads in the right place and we were
able to put them away.”
The Lady Rams will face Wright in the regional
championship today at 4 p.m. in Torrington. Big Horn
has lost to Wright three times this season, but each
match has gotten closer. Just last week it took Wright
five sets to put the Lady Rams away.
Lady Eagles to battle in consolation
bracket today
DAYTON — The Tongue River Lady Eagles volleyball
team opened the 2A East regional tournament with a
four-set loss to Burns Friday night (25-11, 25-22, 25-22).
Coach Michelle Nielsen said her team struggled to
get started Friday, which resulted in the loss.
“We had some good things happen, we just weren’t
finishing our rallies,” Nielsen said.
She noted that the Lady Eagles had a tough time getting started against Saratoga too, losing the first set
before gaining some momentum through the next
three.
The scores of that match were 21-25, 25-17, 25-19, 2513.
“They finally turned the coner and it was go time,”
Nielsen said of her team’s ability to get going against
Saratoga. “They knew it was now or never and defensively they really picked up.”
She added that everyone contributed in the last three
sets and it was a nice way to end the day.
Top contributors for the day included Amanda
Buller, who had 14 kills and went 22-22 in serving
against Saratoga. Neci Sundquist contributed to the
team’s success with 22 kills, while teammate LeeAnna
Mitchell added 11 kills and two stuff blocks. Eryn
Aksamit went 20-21 in serving against Saratoga and
had six kills. Sarah Bacon helped out on defense with
10 digs for the day, and Maddie Boll chipped in with 34
assists.
In the next round, the Lady Eagles will face
Southeast today at 11 a.m. in Torrington. This will be
the first time the teams have met this season.
“We had a great talk tonight and they know what
they have to do,” Nielsen said of her girls’ preparation
for Saturday.
Saratoga covers the net well, so Nielsen said the
Lady Eagles will have to move and be strategic in placing the ball.
“They are beatable, though,” Nielsen added.
Lady Generals top Eastern in three sets
Sheridan’s Courtney Smith, right, taps the ball over the net against Eastern Wyoming College during the game Friday in the Sheridan College
Bruce Hoffman Golden Dome. The Lady Generals won in three sets. Smith contributed seven kills for the night.

BRONCS: Head to Natrona for next round of playoffs

Arvada-Clearmont drops two at
1A East regional tourney
JUSTIN SHEELY | THE SHERIDAN PRESS
The Sheridan defense forced a three-and-out and a
Central punt on their first possession, and Central
returned the favor. After the Sheridan punt, the two
teams combined for seven more punts in the half, and the
Broncs threw in an interception for good measure.
Luckily for Sheridan, two big runs, the second a Riley
Sessions 25-yarder, put the Broncs on the scoreboard first.
Sheridan took a 7-0 lead into the locker room at halftime.
“That’s more punts than we’ve punted for the year,”
Julian joked of the first-half stat line.
The big play that was missing in the first half finally
came in the second half, and it put the game away for
good.
After Sessions added a 35-yard touchdown run, Central
answered with a 46-yard pass to bring them within one
score of the Broncs in the third quarter. Sheridan missed
a 28-yard field goal but forced a punt on the next possession before their game-changing play.
It was a short pass that Crow took 89 yards to the house
to put the Broncs up two scores late in the game.
Shassetz, who had an interception slip through his fingertips on the earlier Central touchdown, put the icing on
the cake with a pick immediately following Crow’s score.
The Broncs went on to win the game, 28-7. The win
advances Sheridan to the quarterfinals, where they will
face off in a rematch of top-seeded Natrona. The
Mustangs beat Sheridan 24-0 in the regular season.
“Here’s the deal, everybody in this whole community, in
this whole school, in this whole town needs to believe that
we can go do this,” Julian said of the rematch with
Natrona. “If anybody doubts, it won’t happen. Our team’s
not going to doubt; we’re going to go battle.”
The Broncs will travel to Natrona for a Saturday
matchup next week. The time has not yet been set.

GARFIELD by Jim Davis
FRANK & ERNEST® by Bob Thaves
Until recently, only 10 percent to 20 percent of people
diagnosed with advanced
melanoma -- the deadliest of
skin cancers -- could expect
to be alive in five years. Now,
cutting-edge cancer drugs are
unleashing the power of the
human immune system
against this and other toughto-treat cancers. In other
words, these new drugs are
allowing the immune system
to do the job it was designed
to do: protect us from harmful disease.
These exciting, life-saving
medicines are called checkpoint inhibitors (CIs). They
outsmart cancer cells in a
brand-new way. They take the
blinders off the immune system so that it can recognize,
attack and destroy cancer
cells. One big reason that
cancer gains a foothold in the
body is that it's really good at
hiding from the immune system. In fact, scientists recently reported that lung cancer
has NINE ways of dodging
attack! That happens because
cancer cells often disguise
their surfaces with proteins
designed to show the immune
system that the cell is healthy
-- something your body's real
healthy cells actually do to
keep the immune system
from attacking the wrong
ones. Checkpoint inhibitors
unmask the cancer cells so
they can be KO'd.
Just two CIs, ipilimumab
(Yervoy) and pembrolizumab
(Keytruda), are FDAapproved. In September,
Health Canada approved its
first CI, Yervoy, for skin cancer. In addition to treating
melanoma, these cutting-edge
drugs are producing exciting
results in clinical trials
against cancers of the lung,
kidney, blood, colon, stomach,
breast, bladder, head, neck
and brain. Based on some
early evidence, scientists are
even speculating that CIs can
help the immune system
"remember" cancer cells, so it
can fight them off in the
future if they reappear.
Cancer docs and
researchers, usually cautious
when talking about the potential of new treatments, are
calling CIs "remarkable" and
"a breakthrough." We're even
more thrilled by what cancer
survivors themselves have to
say: "I did not expect to celebrate another birthday,
Christmas or even experience
another summer," says one
melanoma survivor from
Canada who received ipilimumab in a clinical trial.
"This treatment didn't just
save my life, it gave me my
life back."
In fact, CIs are so promising that this week the
Cleveland Clinic put them
into its list of the Top 10
Medical Innovations for 2015.
(Dr. Mike helps lead the panel
of experts that reviewed over
100 up-and-coming health
technologies to find those
that will have the biggest
impact on health care -- and
our lives -- in 2015.)
These drugs don't work for
everyone, and they can cause
serious (though controllable)
side effects, but they are
effective for a large percentage of the population and are
conveying astounding benefits.
For skin cancer: CIs help
some people with advanced
melanoma, who typically live
6-18 months after diagnosis,
live longer. When Dana
Farber Cancer Institute
researchers tracked 4,868 people with this cancer who
received the CI ipilimumab,
they found that 21 percent
were still alive after three
years, and 17 percent were
still alive after seven years.
In a study of the CI pembrolizumab, also used for
treating melanoma, 69 percent of those receiving it
were alive after one year.
For kidney cancer: Still an
experimental treatment,
these drugs helped 65 percent
of people with renal cell carcinomas live without any
cancer progression for at
least 24 weeks in one study.
One in five responded to the
drug, as did nearly one in two
when it was combined with
another checkpoint inhibitor.
For lung cancer: Still in
clinical trials, a number of
CIs show promise against
this killer cancer. So far,
tumors in up to 25 percent of
people with lung cancer
respond to these drugs, but
up to 71 percent get benefits
when the CI is combined with
conventional chemotherapy.
Learn more: Checkpoint
inhibitors are currently
approved only for melanoma,
but in clinical trials they are
being tested against several
other cancers. To find clinical trials for your cancer type
or location, go to www.cancer.gov/clinicaltrials/search
or search for clinical trials by
drug type at www.clinicaltrials.gov.
DEAR ABBY
Pauline Phillips and Jeanne Phillips
DEAR ABBY: For the past
year and a half, I have
worked a full-time and a parttime job while attending
REX MORGAN, M.D. by Woody Wilson and Tony DiPreta
ZITS® by Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman
DILBERT by S. Adams
ALLEY OOP® by Dave Graue and Jack Bender
school. I recently graduated
from college and now have a
career that has put me into a
better financial position.
My problem is, I'm still
working my part-time job. My
boyfriend, "Jared," and I get
into arguments over whether
or not I should keep it.
I enjoy the extra cash, but
I'm starting to feel like life is
passing me by because I'm
working seven days a week,
usually 10 hours a day. I am
exhausted, but Jared doesn't
want me to quit.
Jared doesn't seem to
understand that I feel left out
when I work this much. I
don't have time to see my
family or visit friends, something I feel he takes for
granted. Should I keep this
job and keep Jared happy, or
stand my ground and live life
my way? -- EXHAUSTED IN
IOWA
DEAR EXHAUSTED: At the
rate you're going, Jared will
work you into a state of collapse. I could understand his
not wanting you to quit your
part-time job if the two of
you were saving for something special, but because
you didn't mention that, I am
assuming it isn't the case.
In order to have a happy,
successful life, people need to
achieve a balance between
work and time to themselves.
If Jared wants the extra
income, then my view is that
Jared should earn it.
DEAR READERS: It's time
for my "timely" reminder
that daylight saving time
ends at 2 a.m. Sunday, so
don't forget to turn your
clocks back one hour before
going to bed. (That's what I'll
be doing.) -- ABBY

HOW
WOULD YOU
REACH THE
RIGHT CONTRACT?
Saki, a Scottish shortstory author
who died in 1916, said, "I
think she must have been
very strictly brought up,
she's so desperately anxious
to do the wrong thing correctly."
This week we have had a
series of deals in which the
bidding has not been either
clear-cut or accurate. And
on some, the opening lead
has been weird. Here is one
more in which the right
final contract was not
reached. How should the
auction have gone?
North might have rebid
three clubs with such a
strong suit and seven playing tricks. South's sensible
two-diamond rebid was
forcing for one round. Note
Help Wanted
Phillip Alder
also that this guaranteed at
least five spades and denied
four hearts; with 5-4-4-0 distribution, he would have
rebid two hearts -- we love
majors and dislike minors.
Then maybe North should
have continued with two
hearts (hoping partner
could bid no-trump) or
two no-trump (hoping it
would not wrongside the
contract).
However, when North
bid two spades, South
should not have jumped
to four spades. He
should have bid three
no-trump to offer a
choice of games. Here,
North would have
passed, but if he had
held three spades, he
would have corrected
back to four spades.
As you will have seen,
there are 10 top tricks in
no-trump: one spade,
two hearts, one diamond
and six clubs. But four
spades had no chance.
And even if spades had been
3-3, careful defense could
have defeated that game.
Always try to keep your
options open. And remember that partner will not forget your earlier bids and
their meanings.
Hints from Heloise
Poster
Painting
Dear
Heloise:
When trying to decide what
color we
wanted to
PAINT our
walls, the small paint chips
didn't help much. They are
so small, and we didn't want
to paint large swatches on
the wall. Here is our hint:
We bought large, white
poster boards and painted
each color we were thinking
about. We pushpinned them
on the walls and looked at
them for a few days. -- K.J.
in New Orleans
Better to live with a few
painted posters than paint a
whole room and hate it! -Heloise
MELTED PLASTIC
Dear Heloise: I accidentally melted some plastic on
the top of my toaster. Do
you have any hints on how I
can get the plastic off? -- Hal-
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2014
lie, via email
Hallie, don't worry -- this
happens. Get an old washcloth or towel and some rubbing alcohol or
acetone-based nail-polish
remover. Be sure the
toaster is UNPLUGGED!
Pour a little of the liquid
onto the washcloth. Rub it
over the area. You should
start to see the plastic peel
away. You may need to repeat to get it all off. When
done, wipe the area with a
clean, damp cloth. -- Heloise
PET PAL
Dear Readers: Claudia
Parks of Texas sent in a
photo, via email, of her 8year-old standard poodle,
Sammy, posing for a photo
in a hat. Claudia said that
Sammy loves posing for
photos. To see Sammy's
photo, go to my website,
www.Heloise.com, and click
on "Pets." -- Heloise
AFTER-SUMMER SALES
Dear Heloise: I love endof-summer sales. You usually can find great deals on
Heloise
summer products right
after school starts. I got an
inflatable pool for the backyard for 70 percent off! I live
in South Texas, so it is still
warm enough to use it well
into fall. You also can get
great deals on barbecues
and school supplies. I often
go and buy crayons, etc.,
when they are on sale after
school starts. -- Lisa M.,
Lubbock, Texas
PESKY PIGEONS
Dear Heloise: I live in
New York City, where pigeons always are a problem.
Recently, a neighbor put a
bird feeder on her terrace,
and we were "bombarded"
with pigeons. I found a rubber snake and put it on the
edge of the terrace barrier.
Result: no more pigeons. -Fred Jacobs in New York
Pigeons can be a problem,
and many readers use fake
snakes to keep the pigeons
away. Since owls hunt
birds, locate a few fake owls
and use them to ward off the
pigeons. -- Heloise

prosperity and success.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):
Foster the spirit of give and
take. Unresolved issues can
be resolved in a blink of an
eye this week by offering an
apology in a timely manner.
Changing someone's mind
will take no more effort
than changing a light bulb.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
A few minutes of feeling
"down" may act as the
springboard for you to pursue "upward" mobility. Get
an education in areas where
you've displayed a lack of
knowledge and overcome a
handicap in the week
ahead.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
Get a new lease on life.
Start taking brisk walks
over your lunch hour, get a
makeover, or join a gym.
Find ways to improve your
wellbeing and appearance
so you'll be more productive
in the week ahead.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.
21): Your decisiveness and
your charm are your best
qualities during the week
ahead. Go after your goals
fearlessly. Friends will admire your boldness, and a
significant other is likely to
take pride in your tenacity.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): What goes around
comes around. You may
make sound decisions during the week ahead, possibly because you're wiser
than usual. But you'll also
receive better advice and
guidance than usual from
your supporters.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): Wrap up deals and tie
them with a bow. You're
passionate about being successful and not afraid to get
your hands dirty. Since you
are willing to cooperate,
you can make your dreams
come true in the week
ahead.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18): Learn to play many
roles and bend with the
wind during the upcoming
week. Keep an open mind
when dealing with liberals
and honor the traditional
when hobnobbing with conservatives. Adjust your
views to keep the peace.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20): An aura of popularity
surrounds you in the week
to come. Focus on ways to
circulate and network to
make your business and career flourish. New friendships might prove
beneficial and can act as
stepping-stones.
IF NOVEMBER 2 IS
YOUR BIRTHDAY: You
can't wallow in disillusionment when you're feeling on
top of the world during the
next 4-6 weeks. Joining up
with a group of like-minded
individuals could introduce
you to fresh fields of endeavor and plant new ambitions in December. You
could lose your way if you
dwell on fantasies or waste
your time on unrealistic
pursuits in January, but if
you focus on being inspired
by new surroundings, perhaps by taking a vacation,
you'll discover a new purpose. March is the best time
to make financial and business decisions. The fine example of someone close to

BIRTHDAY GUY: Actor
Kendall Schmidt was born
in Wichita, Ka., on this date
in 1990. This birthday guy is
best known for his portrayal of the character
Kendall Knight on the TV
series, "Big Time Rush" that
aired 2009-2013, as well as in
the 2012 feature "Big Time
Movie." He's also appeared
on episodes of "Without a
Trace," "Ghost Whisperer"
and "CSI: Miami." Schmidt
performs with the band Heffron Drive.
ARIES (March 21-April
19): Put the needs of others
first. A situation that seems
fraught with tension can be
healed and might create a
golden opportunity for you
to succeed through teamwork in the week ahead.
You can strengthen beneficial relationships.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20): It's time to mend fences
so you can fulfill your
dreams. Pay attention to
how others see you. Intimacy issues will be resolved if you agree to do
better and abide by this decision during the coming
week.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
Make a resolution as firm
as your handshake. In the
upcoming week, you can
join forces to accomplish
worthy goals. You may discover that other people are
willing to share the knowledge and experience that
you need.

week. Money, like water,
must be spread around in
order to perform its function. Spend generously and

IRTHDAY GAL: Actress
Shayna Rose was born in
Denver, Colo., on this day
in 1983. This birthday gal,
born Shayna Rose Mordue,
co-starred as Marina on the
series "The Fresh Beat
Band" from 2009-2011, as
well as playing Stephanie
Johnson on "Days of Our
Lives" (2006-2007). She's also
appeared on episodes of
"Mad Men," "Ugly Betty"
and "Gilmore Girls."
ARIES (March 21-April
19): Wear your heart on
your sleeve. It's possible
that someone else shares
your feelings or ideas and
has been waiting for a signal from you to make a
move. Your love life could
change for the better.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20): Mend fences. A misunderstanding could be keeping you and a special
someone apart. If you ask
for forgiveness, it will be
granted. This is an excellent
time to seek professional
advice from experts.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
Be a realist in your own reality show. Although you
might fall prey to wishful
thinking, you'll find your
interests are best served by
going along with the crowd.
This is a good time to ask
for favors or a loan extension.
CANCER (June 21-July
22): Wear your true colors.
You can be kind to your
loved ones, but treat the
world well, too. Feed a stray
kitten, recycle grocery bags,
or make a charitable dona-
tion. Act on your ideals and
do some good for Mother
Earth.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A
warm and friendly attitude
will open doors. Press forward to achieve your career
objectives and put your passions to work in moneymaking activities. Steer
clear of controversial issues
when in public.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
If you've been expecting the
worst, you may be in for a
pleasant surprise. A thorny
situation may play out
much differently than anticipated. This could be a good
time to turn over a new leaf
or launch a project.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
The advice you receive
might be golden. Even a casual encounter could prove
beneficial. You might read
an article that answers a
key question, or hear about
a money making opportunity while waiting at the
checkout counter.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.
21): Dress for success; the
spotlight might be on you
today. Other people will be
drawn to your charm,
friendliness and outgoing
personality. Think hard
and thoroughly about improving your finances or acquiring new possessions.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Radiate a positive
attitude and you'll attract
good people, things and opportunities. Know exactly
what your goals are and
who your friends are. A
good friend could provide
sound advice or encouragement.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): Put plenty of purpose
into your pleasures. You
have the right instincts to
succeed at anything that
tickles your fancy. Investments and hard work could
pay off and a romantic partner is yours for the asking.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18): Romance and socializing could be at the top of
your personal agenda.
You're more attractive than
usual, but don't let your
guard down or get caught
up in inappropriate situations. Keep your career and
love life separate.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20): A change of tactics can
change outcomes. Share
what you know and let
yourself be known. Join a
group, sign up for a class, or
take an interest in community affairs. You can make
new friends in the blink of
an eye.
IF NOVEMBER 3 IS
YOUR BIRTHDAY: You
may be riding on a wave of
inspiration during the upcoming 3-4 weeks. Since you
might feel like the apple of
someone's eye, or because
you've gained the trust of
someone powerful, it may
be tempting to make a commitment when an offer or
proposal is made. You can
be fooled by appearances
but have a knack for seeing
the advantages and disadvantages. You might be
wiser than usual now, as
well as in December, so
aren't likely to get in over
your head. April is when
you have the best chance of
making the shrewdest financial and business decisions.

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

Johnson: New title format
‘has seemed bizarre’
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Jimmie Johnson says
NASCAR’s new championship format has “seemed
bizarre,” but the eliminated six-time champion knows
he has to think about the big picture for racing.
Johnson was among 16 drivers who initially made
the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. He’s
already out of contention for his seventh season title
even with three wins and 1,119 laps led this year. Fourtime race winner Dale Earnhardt Jr. also can’t win the
title after the first two championship rounds cut the
field to eight drivers.
“It has seemed bizarre since the onset. I, though, feel
that I need to take a different approach and think of it
differently and think of what is good for the sport,”
Johnson said Friday. “This is really being put back in
the fans’ hands. At the end of the day, if there are
more people tuning in and watching, we are creating
the drama, sponsorship is in the sport, then it is what
we need to do. I made that conscious decision when
Brian France called me and told me where things
were going for this year.”
Among the eight drivers still in contention are Ryan
Newman and Matt Kenseth, neither of whom has won
a race this season. Newman, who has led only 41 laps
all season, was in 16th place when the chase started —
two spots ahead of Kenseth.
After Texas and then Phoenix next week, only the
top four drivers in the standings will be eligible to win
the season title in the finale at Homestead.
“I understand that from an economic standpoint
(that) tracks, NASCAR, the race teams for sure, are in
a bind and we are in a tough situation,” Johnson said.
“So we need to make some change.
“This is the decision they made and we have certainly seen the drama. It seems like attendance is going in
the right way, ad buys are going the right way and TV
viewership is up,” he said. “Is it what we all as racers
think should happen and is it the best way to go about,
falling back on the history of our sport in determining a champion? No, but we have to pay attention to
who is sitting out in the stands, in my opinion.”

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Zach
Randolph scored 11 of his 22 points in
the third quarter and added 13
rebounds to lead the Memphis
Grizzlies to a 97-89 victory over the
Indiana Pacers on Friday night.
Marc Gasol had 20 points and six
rebounds and Mike Conley added 17
points for the Grizzlies, who are 2-0
for just the third time in franchise
history. They have a shot to open the
season with three straight wins for
the first time.
Chris Copeland came off the bench
with 16 points and six rebounds and
C.J. Miles finished with 13 for the
short-handed Pacers.
Conley and Randolph combined for
13 points in a 26-2 run by Memphis to
take a 74-63 lead with 2:23 remaining
in the third quarter.
Courtney Lee, who finished with 12
points, was diagnosed with a mild
concussion after he left the game at

the 2:03 mark in the second quarter.
He fell to the ground after a missed
lay-up and suffered a blow to the back
of the head after hitting Roy Hibbert’s
knee.
He lay on the floor with
his hands on his head for
several minutes before he
was helped to the locker
room.
The Pacers look its first
lead early in the second
quarter and led at the
break 53-45.
Randolph
The Grizzlies shot just 9
of 20 in the second quarter and
Indiana took advantage with a 13-2
run. But Memphis’ big third quarter
was too much for the Pacers to overcome.
TIP-INS
Grizzlies: Had just nine turnovers
and converted Indiana’s 18 turnovers
into 14 points. . Despite poor shooting
in the second quarter, Memphis still
shot 44.3 percent. . The Grizzlies
brought three natives for an Indiana
homecoming. Conley and Lee are
from Indianapolis, and Randolph
grew up nearly 70 miles away in
Marion, Indiana.
Pacers: Hibbert was taken out of
the mix early when he picked up his
second foul at the 7:19 mark of the
first quarter and didn’t return until
midway through the second quarter. .
Beno Udrih was 3 of 3 from 3-point
range and Rodney Stuckey added six
points in the second quarter, including a turnaround jumper to give
Indiana its first lead. . Hibbert
blocked a hook-shot by Randolph
early in the third quarter before Luis
Scola scored to put the Pacers ahead
57-46 before the Grizzlies pulled away.

49ers LB Willis to be game time decision
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Patrick
Willis will be a game-time decision Sunday
when the San Francisco 49ers host the St.
Louis Rams.
The playmaking linebacker missed the
49ers’ loss in Denver two weeks ago with a
big toe injury. Willis, third on the team
with 49 tackles, said he still feels pain but
is getting better every day.
“It’s all about being able to know how
much pain you can endure and still perform,” Willis said Friday. “I won’t go out
unless I know I can help the defense.”
Willis does not suffer from turf toe, a
severe injury that sidelined cornerback
Tramaine Brock for five games and who
remains questionable this week, but the
injury does affect Willis every time he
takes a step.
“Over time, you understand the big toe is
important for the body,” Willis said. “It’s
not like a broken middle finger, which you
can put a cast on and still go. My feet are
everything.”
The seven-time Pro Bowl linebacker is
one of the reasons the 49ers remain in the
upper echelon of the NFL in defensive
rankings despite missing two key linebackers in the injured NaVarro Bowman and
the suspended Aldon Smith.
Rookie linebacker Chris Borland started
in place of Willis against the Broncos and
will fill the void again should Willis be
unable to go. Rookie Aaron Lynch has also
seen his playing time increase the past few
weeks.
“I can handle the pain, but this is a little
more,” Willis said. “It’s taking a little time.
I want to be at my peak any time I step on
the field.”
Willis spent the bye week receiving treatment for the injury at the 49ers’ headquar-
ters.
“At this point, the bye week is a chance to
relax and get my mind back focused,”
Willis said. “For me, that meant being here
and getting better. We have great trainers
here who are working to help me.”
Rookie center Marcus Martin gets his
opportunity to start against the Rams due
to a season-ending injury to Daniel Kilgore.
Martin will be making his NFL debut.
“He’s sure of himself naturally, so he’s
just being himself,” 49ers veteran left tackle Joe Staley said. “He’s been sharp and on
top of it all year. He takes notes like an old
veteran. His notebook is filled with details.
He’s ready to get on the field.”
The 49ers will be using their fifth starting
combination along the offensive line after
two years of relative stability.
“Our guys have looked good,” 49ers coach
Jim Harbaugh said. “In terms of practice,
they have improved noticeably.”
Staley said it’s all part of doing business.
“We have been very fortunate the past
couple of years,” Staley said. “Injuries are
part of the game and we adjust. I feel confident with the guys we play. We can always
do better. We’ve done a lot of things well,
but the whole thing is a process and we
continue to improve.”
NOTES: Harbaugh gave a visual in
response to what makes WR Stevie
Johnson elusive to defensive backs. “He’s
got a shake, a wiggle. It’s different,”
Harbaugh said while looking like he was
poking his head around the corner while
running in place. “If you see it enough and
watch it, you can read the body language.
That’s probably a good description: His
body language being tough to read is an
asset for him.” ... Willis and Brock are the
only two listed as questionable for Sunday.
