Sports, B1 Officials: 33-year-old woman died in car vs. train accident FROM STAFF REPORTS SHERIDAN — Local law enforcement said Monday morning that witnesses reported the woman who died Friday in a collision with a train in Sheridan County had pulled in front of the train. Kevin Sessions with the Sheridan County Coroner’s office confirmed that Michelle Clemens, 33, of Sheridan was killed when her car was hit by two Burlington Northern Santa Fe locomotives just north of Sheridan. Sessions said Clemens died of blunt force trauma, but that the manner of death has not yet been determined. Matt Jones, the BNSF director of public affairs for Wyoming and Montana said the locomotives had been returning to Sheridan from the area of Parkman Hill where they had been assisting a train up the hill. He said the locomotives collided with the vehicle near Kleenburn Road, causing minimal damage to the locomotives, but killing Clemens. Sheridan County Sheriff ’s Office officials said that Clemens was sitting at the crossing and drove into the tracks when the locomotives approached. Toxicology results are pending. Clemens had been arrested Jan. 11 for driving under the influence. Clemens was the only person in the car at the time of the crash. The investigation into the crash is ongoing.

Legislators are expected to tackle the issue of Medicaid expansion this week. Legislative committee takes up Medicaid expansion CHEYENNE (AP) — The Wyoming Legislature this week will start what promise to be contentious hearings about whether to expand the federal Medicaid program in the state. Meanwhile, the Legislature’s Joint Appropriations Committee this week will continue budget meetings as lawmakers work to review new revenue figures that predict a decline in the face of sagging energy markets. The Senate Labor, Health and Social Services Committee has set a hearing for Monday morning to listen to comments from the public about the Medicaid expansion issue. The committee Scan with your smartphone for latest weather, news and sports is not set to vote on the bill. Pressure is mounting in Wyoming to accept federal money to expand Medicaid. The expansion, aimed at offering health insurance to an estimated 17,600 adults who make up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level, is a critical element of the federal Affordable Care Act. It’s also an element Wyoming has resisted for years. Wyoming Health Department Director Tom Forslund has said expanding the Medicaid program would save the state money by getting people off other programs. The state’s Medicaid program would likely need an infu- sion of nearly $80 million in state general funds in coming years without the expansion, while expanding the program promises the state nearly $50 million in savings, Forslund said. Gov. Matt Mead, a Republican elected last fall to his second term, had joined other states early in his first term in an ultimately unsuccessful federal legal challenge to the Affordable Care Act. Over the last year, however, Mead increasingly has come around to the idea of expanding Medicaid.

PEOPLE PAGE SIX ALMANAC 3 SPORTS 4 COMICS 5 CLASSIFIEDS B1 B4 B5 A2 THE SHERIDAN PRESS www.thesheridanpress.com EXPANSION: Also examining CREG report FROM 1 “The fact is, many of us don’t like the ACA, including me,” Mead said Wednesday in his state of the state address. “But here’s another fact: Our federal tax dollars pay for ACA. Wyoming federal tax dollars help pay for the ACA. Do we choose to have that support, that Wyoming money, return to Colorado, to California, or to Wyoming? I say Wyoming.” The Wyoming Department of Health proposed an expansion plan going into this legislative session that didn’t include the health savings plan component. The Wyoming Hospital Association also has been a vocal proponent of expansion, saying hospitals subsidize hundreds of millions of dollars in uncompensated care each year — much of which could be covered by the federal program. The Wyoming Business Alliance issued a position paper this month concluding the state needs to support Medicaid expansion. “Ignoring the economic reality and hardship of some 17,600 citizens does not advantage Wyoming today, or for the future,” it stated. The chief architect of Legislature’s repeated rejection of Medicaid expansion in the past few years has been Sen. Charles Scott, R-Casper. He’s chairman of the Senate Labor, Health and Social Services Committee holding Monday’s hearing. In December, Scott’s committee and its House counterpart voted to amend the Medicaid expansion bill drafted by Mead’s administration to insert the Obama to honor King legacy health savings account language. It’s still uncertain whether federal officials would accept that requirement and still provide money for the program. Rep. Elaine Harvey, R-Big Horn, chairman of the House Labor, Health and Social Services Committee, said Friday that she believes the savings account proposal would make the program more similar to how people pay for insurance on the open market. “We’re trying to teach management of medical dollars,” she said. Harvey also said she believes the committee bill would have a better chance of getting through the Legislature than the version proposed by the Health Department. She said the committee still doesn’t have estimates yet of how much it would cost to administer the savings account program. In other action, top lawmakers said they expect legislators will take time this week to absorb new revenue projections that were released on Friday. The state’s Consensus Revenue Estimating Group on Friday announced that it was reducing its general revenue estimates for the current two-year fiscal cycle by about $220 million as a result of falling energy prices. The state’s school system is in line for additional losses. Senate President Phil Nicholas, R-Laramie, and House Speaker Kermit Brown, R-Laramie, said Friday that lawmakers will call for a longer-term fiscal profile to assess where the state stands. Nicholas said he expects the Legislature’s Joint Appropriations Committee this week will finish its hearings on the state’s supplemental budget. WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is honoring the birth of Martin Luther King Jr. by participating in a community service project. The White House says the president and his wife, Michelle, will help with a project at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Washington. The organization helps youngsters develop the skills they need to become responsible adults. In a proclamation issued last week Obama says the U.S. has made “undeniable progress” since King agitated for justice and equality for all. But Obama says securing the gains requires “constant vigilance, not complacency.” He called on everyone to stand together for good jobs, fair wages, safe neighborhoods and quality education. MONDAY, JANUARY 19, 2015 WYOMING BRIEFS | Wyoming seeks to archive Vietnam veterans experiences CASPER (AP) — Vietnam War veterans in Wyoming are being asked to share their story in a state-wide historical documentation project. The Wyoming Veterans Commission says the project will take recorded histories from Wyoming’s veterans and archive them at the Wyoming Veterans Memorial Museum. Museum director John Goss says it is seeking stories from all branches of service. It wants to hear from men and women, clerks, infantrymen, nurses, pilots, sailors, inductees, enlistees, officers and civilians who served in Vietnam in another overseas location or remained in the United States. The documentation will coincide with the state’s Vietnam Veterans Reunion, which will be held June 4-7 in Casper. A similar project was also completed for Wyoming World War II veterans in 2011. Miyamoto new state Ag Department director CHEYENNE (AP) — The Wyoming Department of Agriculture has a new director. Gov. Matt Mead has appoint- ed Doug Miyamoto to lead the agency, starting March 15. Miyamoto currently serves as the director and chief executive officer of the Wyoming Livestock Board. He graduated from Rawlins High School and attended the University of Wyoming, earning a bachelor’s degree in Rangeland Ecology and Watershed Management. He later earned a master’s degree in Rangeland Ecology from UW. In 2011, Miyamoto was appointed deputy director of the Wyoming Department of Agriculture. Enzi to work on comprehensive tax reform CHEYENNE (AP) — U.S. Sen. Mike Enzi will co-chair a working group focusing on reforms to individual income taxes. The Wyoming Republican’s group is one of five separate groups formed by the Senate Finance Committee to spur comprehensive tax reform efforts in the 114th Congress. Officials say the groups will analyze current tax law and examine policy trade-offs and available reform options within the group’s designated topic areas. Focus areas include: individual income tax, business income tax and community development and infrastructure. Advocates say death penalty should be abolished CHEYENNE (AP) — In most capital murder cases, jurors in Wyoming prefer life imprisonment instead of imposing the death penalty, a veteran Cheyenne defense attorney said during a program advocating abolishment of the death penalty. “We’ve had two people executed in the last 40 years in Wyoming,” attorney David Serelson said, despite many cases where the state sought the death penalty. “There is not one person in Wyoming on death row right now,” Serelson said. “We have evolved as a society. Our laws need to reflect that.” Serelson was one of four panelists who spoke Saturday about abolishing the death penalty during a program sponsored by the Wyoming Association of Churches and the Catholic Diocese of Cheyenne. The program called attention to the death penalty in Wyoming and to House Bill 97, a new bill in the state Legislature that aims to abolish it. The Wyoming Tribune Eagle reports that the bill proposes that the maximum penalty for first-degree murder would be life in prison or life in prison without parole. Gov. Matt Mead, a former state and federal prosecutor, has said he believes Wyoming should keep the death penalty. In addition to Serelson, other people on the panel were Rick Martinez, deputy director of Legal Aid of Wyoming; Father Carl Gallinger of St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Cheyenne; and Aaron Lyttle, a Cheyenne lawyer who fought for the freedom of Andrew Johnson, a man wrongfully imprisoned for 23 years. Johnson recently was exonerated as a result of DNA testing. Lyttle said he worries about people who are convicted for crimes they did not do. “We know that people are wrongfully convicted and that it happens more than traditionally assumed,” he said.

(AP) — Crews were working to clean up crude oil that spilled in and near the Yellowstone River in eastern Montana while Bridger Pipeline officials tried to determine what caused the breach. Bridger has said the break in the 12-inch steel pipe happened Saturday morning about 9 miles upstream from Glendive. Bridger spokesman Bill Salvin said Monday that the company is confident that no more than 1,200 barrels — or 50,000 gallons — of oil spilled during the hour-long breach. It is not clear how much oil is in the river. Some of it is trapped under ice. Salvin says oil has been seen in the river in spots 15 and 25 miles downstream from Glendive. The Casper, Wyoming-based company is testing the water for any contamination. The pipeline remains shut down. tions. For additional information, contact Tyson Emborg at 672-2495 ext. 3228.

(AP) — Tony Verna, a television director and producer who invented instant replay for live sports games 51 years ago, has died. He was 81. Verna died Sunday at his Palm Desert home after battling acute lymphoblastic leukemia, his daughter Tracy Soiseth said. CBS used instant replay for the first time in the Dec. 7, 1963 Army-Navy football game in Philadelphia, after Verna developed a method to cue the tape to pinpoint the play he wants to immediately air again. He said he was looking for a way to fill those boring gaps between plays during a football telecast. The concept was so new that when Army quarterback Rollie Stichweh scored a touchdown, announcer Lindsey Nelson had to warn viewers: “This is not live! Ladies and gentlemen, Army did not score again!” Instant replay quickly became a staple of sports broadcasting, and Verna’s innovation gave fans a new way to look at the game. “Not many things you can do in life where you can change the way things were happening before,” Verna told the Associated Press in 2008. Verna would go on to produce or direct five Super Bowls, the Olympics, the Kentucky Derby and even “Live Aid.” His lasting legacy, though, is pulling back the curtain on sports and revealing what really goes on. Verna is survived by his wife of 45 years, Carol, daughters Tracy Soiseth and Jenny Axelrod, son Eric Verna and three grandchildren. Peter Wallenberg, patriarch of Swedish business empire, dies STOCKHOLM (AP) — Peter Wallenberg, the former head of a Swedish financial dynasty sometimes compared to the Rockefellers, has died. He was 88. Wallenberg died Monday at his home on the island of Varmdo, outside Stockholm, the family foundation said in a statement. The cause of death wasn’t released. From 1982 to 1997 Wallenberg was chairman of Investor AB, the holding company through which the family controls large stakes in major Swedish companies. He also served on the board of wireless equipment maker Ericsson, appliance maker Electrolux, engineering firm Atlas Copco and other Swedish companies. Internationally, the Wallenberg family’s best known member is World War II hero Raoul Wallenberg, who is credited for saving at least 20,000 Jews while serving as a Swedish diplomat in Nazi-occupied Hungary. But the family has been a prominent force in the Swedish business world since the 19th century, when Peter’s great grandfather founded what is today called the SEB bank. Peter Wallenberg was born in Stockholm in 1926 to Marcus Wallenberg and his Scottish wife Dorothy. As a child, he attended boarding school in Sweden and spent the summers, alongside older brother Marc and sister Ann-Marie, with his mother’s family in Britain. He has often described his childhood, under a strict and domineering father, as a tough period in his life. “I was cheeky compared with my brother,” Wallenberg said in a 2006 interview with daily Dagens Industri. “My father didn’t like that.” He wasn’t groomed to become the family patriarch, but stepped into the role of heir after Marc committed suicide in 1971. When their father died in 1982, Peter took over as chairman of Investor. His eldest son Jacob is now chairman. In 1993, Peter Wallenberg was the target of a foiled kidnapping plot as police arrested four wouldbe abductors outside the gates of his estate on Varmdo. Wallenberg married and divorced three times. He is survived by his two sons, Jacob and Peter Jr., and daughter Andrea. Funeral arrangements weren’t immediately announced. Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 19, 1915, Germany carried out its first air raid on Britain during World War I as a pair of Zeppelins dropped bombs onto Great Yarmouth and King’s Lynn in England. On this date: In 1807, Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee was born in Westmoreland County, Virginia. In 1853, Giuseppe Verdi’s opera “Il Trovatore” premiered in Rome. In 1861, Georgia became the fifth state to secede from the Union. In 1937, millionaire Howard Hughes set a transcontinental air record by flying his monoplane from Los Angeles to Newark, New Jersey, in 7 hours, 28 minutes and 25 seconds. In 1942, during World War II, Japan invaded Burma (Myanmar). In 1944, the federal government relinquished control of the nation’s railroads to their owners following settlement of a wage dispute. In 1955, a presidential news conference was filmed for television and newsreels for the first time, with the permission of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. In 1966, Indira Gandhi was elected prime minister of India. In 1970, President Richard M. Nixon nominated G. Harrold Carswell to the Supreme Court; however, the nomination was defeated because of controversy over Carswell’s past racial views. In 1977, in one of his last acts of office, President Gerald R. Ford pardoned Iva Toguri D’Aquino, an American convicted of treason for making wartime broadcasts for Japan. In 1981, the United States and Iran signed an accord paving the way for the release of 52 Americans held hostage for more than 14 months. In 1992, German government and Jewish officials dedicated a Holocaust memorial at the villa on the outskirts of Berlin where the notorious Wannsee Conference had taken place. Ten years ago: Previewing his second inauguration, President George W. Bush pledged to seek unity in a nation divided by political differences, saying, “I am eager and ready for the work ahead.” Condoleezza Rice won strong but not unanimous endorsement as secretary of state from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which voted 162 to recommend her confirmation. The American Cancer Society reported that cancer had passed heart disease as the top killer of Americans age 85 and younger. Five years ago: In a major upset, Republican Scott Brown captured the U.S. Senate seat held by liberal champion Edward Kennedy for nearly half a century as he defeated Democrat Martha Coakley in a special election. One year ago: An Islamic militant group in Russia’s North Caucasus claimed responsibility for recent twin bombings in the southern city of Volgograd and posted a video threatening to strike at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.

A6 THE SHERIDAN PRESS www.thesheridanpress.com MONDAY, JANUARY 19, 2015 WDE clarifies rules regarding epinephrine pens in schools BY ALISA BRANTZ THE SHERIDAN PRESS SHERIDAN — Though some local school districts have reported that new legislation requires all Wyoming schools to carry Stock Epinephrine AutoInjectors — commonly called EpiPens after one brand of the auto-injector on the market — Wyoming Department of Education officials say that is a misconception of the bill. Clarification of the new guidelines for use of stock epinephrine as defined in statute was provided by the WDE in December stating that a district school board may elect to adopt and implement a policy where it would acquire, maintain and dispense the medication, but the action is optional. Stock Epinephrine is injectable medications used for the treatment of previously undiagnosed severe life-threatening allergies that schools and districts buy and keep on-site for emergency use. EpiPens treat anaphylaxis, which is a rare but serious form of allergy that usually develops suddenly and requires rapid management to prevent shock and possible fatality. Auto-Injectors contain a single dose of epinephrine, which are injected into the outer thigh. Opponents of having the treatment administered by a school official often site the side effects and potential risk of misuse as concerns. The Food Allergy Research and Education organization works as advocates for the use of stock epinephrine in schools. According to FARE, every state in the country with the exception of New Hampshire has school epinephrine legislation, with only two states’ guidelines still pending. Several states require schools to stock epinephrine, including Nebraska. In Wyoming, the guidelines are specifically for previously undiagnosed conditions as parents have the obligation to provide epinephrine for a child who has been diagnosed with a condition requiring the need. Under the statute, a district board can obtain the stock epinephrine without prescriptions, granted they adhere to specific conditions. Each participating district must implement and maintain a plan for the management of students with life-threatening allergies. The plan, which must be in place before the epinephrine is made available to students, must be available on the district’s website or other practicable means as determined by the school board. Personnel identified as responsible for the management and administration of the epinephrine must undergo training. Under the guidelines, a district decision covers all schools in the district, and each school must maintain a list of employees who have been assigned and trained to administer the auto-injector. Schools must also keep a record of each incident that involves a life-threatening allergy or the administration of epinephrine. The guidelines were developed in consultation with the Department of Health and a steering committee comprised of nursing experts, educators, advisors and input from various school nurses statewide. Schools and school personnel trained to administer stock epinephrine autoinjectors will not be held liable for damages or injuries resulting from the administration, overseeing or allowing self-administration or a failure to administer the auto-injector.

FROM 1 MONDAY, JANUARY 19, 2015 Deep ball helps Broncs drain Natrona SPORTS www.thesheridanpress.com THE SHERIDAN PRESS B1 All the right adjustments BY MIKE DUNN THE SHERIDAN PRESS SHERIDAN — Natrona County’s 6foot-9, 300-pound center Pete Bergman, is a defensive presence manning the paint. You can’t go through him and you certainly can’t go over him. But you can go around him. So, the Sheridan Broncs basketball team (6-4) took what they could get in Saturday’s contest with the Mustangs (4-6), and it certainly paid off. Impeccable outside shooting from the Broncs kept Natrona County from doing any damage in the 57-45 win for the hosting Sheridan basketball team. The Broncs were perfect from behind the arc in the first half, shooting a staggering 6-for-6 from 3-point land before the break, and Mustangs couldn’t keep up out of the gate. Field goal shooting wasn’t too shabby either. Sheridan knocked down 53 percent of their field goals in the first half led by senior Dylan Daniels. After the first quarter, the Mustangs never came within five points of the lights-out Sheridan Broncs. The only thing that kept the Mustangs from warming up the bus early was Sheridan turnovers. The Broncs turned the ball over several times underneath the basket and limited their field goal attempts. But when the offense failed, defense came to the rescue. The Mustangs were restricted to six points from the field in the first half, but 89 percent free-throw shooting kept Natrona within striking distance. At the end of the first half, the Broncs had a dominating 27-14 lead. But Sheridan began the third quarter playing not to lose instead of playing to win. The hot-handed Broncs went cold — missing three out of four from behind the arch and shooting 3-of-11 from the field. Natrona took advantage of the flat Bronc offense and scored five unanswered points at the beginning of the half. After managing only 14 points in the first half, the Mustangs more than doubled their score with 16 points in the third quarter and made it a 37-30 game going into the final quarter of regulation. But the Broncs were not about to fold. Sheridan senior Kris Clark was relentless against Bergman and the Natrona County defense inside the paint. The 6-foot-1 post racked up a handful of second-chance baskets off offensive rebounds to extend the Sheridan lead. When Natrona County began to foul at the end of the game, Sheridan shot a clutch 5-for-7 at the line to propel them to a victory. The Broncs are diving into conference play this weekend, playing Cheyenne South (7-4) Bison. The Bison will be heading into Sheridan Friday on a fourgame winning streak. MIKE PRUDEN | THE SHERIDAN PRESS Katie Kuhn draws a double team during the first half of Sheridan College's 70-52 victory over Western Wyoming Saturday at the Bruce Hoffman Golden Dome. Lady Generals take down Western Wyo. BY MIKE PRUDEN THE SHERIDAN PRESS SHERIDAN — After a sluggish start left the Sheridan College Lady Generals basketball team with their backs against the wall Friday, the SC coaches made some adjustments Saturday to bounce back and beat Western Wyoming 7052. Casper College had no problem breaking down the Sheridan press Friday night, leaving the Lady Generals chasing the ball as Casper dropped in basket after basket. That forced Frank McCarthy and his staff to pull back the press against Western, allowing his players to get setup and play sound defense. The 50 percent field-goal shooting from Casper on Friday turned into 26 percent shooting for Western on Saturday, and no Western players scored in double figures. “Against Casper, they really opened it up against our pressure and got good looks,” McCarthy said. “Today, we got out of our press a little bit — — the fatigue factor — and we thought we could lock them up on defense, too.” As it often does, the defense led to offense for Sheridan. The Lady Generals really made it a point of emphasis to work the ball inside. SEE INSIDE, PAGE B3 Defense propels Sheridan College Generals past Western Wyoming, 73-66 BY MIKE PRUDEN THE SHERIDAN PRESS MIKE PRUDEN | THE SHERIDAN PRESS Terrell Butler tries to find a teammate as he runs through a Western Wyoming defender Saturday at the Bruce Hoffman Golden Dome. Butler led the Generals with eight assists in their 73-66 win. SHERIDAN — Western Wyoming shot 22 more field goals than Sheridan College and outrebounded them by nine, but Sheridan relied on their defense to pull out the 73-66 win Saturday at the Bruce Hoffman Golden Dome. SC coach Matt Hammer knew that his Sheridan Generals team would have to pick up their intensity if they were going to win games in Region IX, and that’s exactly what it took for Sheridan to come away with two big wins this weekend. After playing one of their best all-around games of the season in a dominating win over Casper College Friday, the Generals carried that momentum into Saturday’s matchup. Despite the rebounding struggles — 20 of Western’s 38 rebounds came on the offensive end — and the lopsided shot attempts, Sheridan was able to stay solid on defense to keep those shot attempts from finding the bottom of the net. Coming into Saturday’s matchup, Western was shooting close to 50 percent per game, and almost 40 percent from 3point range. But Saturday, they shot just 38 percent from the field and an abysmal 2-of21 (.095) from behind the arc. “I thought we did a great job of the guys guarding shooters,” Hammer said, “working hard, working through screens and chasing the guy off the shot when he got a catch.” With the game tied at halftime, Sheridan got a much-needed spark off the bench from freshman guard Terrell Butler. The Generals only average 20.6 assists a game for the season, with no player with more than four per game. SEE ASSISTS, PAGE B3 B2 THE SHERIDAN PRESS www.thesheridanpress.com MONDAY, JANUARY 19, 2015 LOCAL SPORTS BRIEFS | FROM STAFF REPORTS Lady Broncs top Natrona County SHERIDAN — The Sheridan Lady Broncs wrapped up this weekend’s basketball games with a close, 41-35, victory Saturday over the Natrona County Fillies. With a 37-35 lead in the final seconds of regulation, the Lady Broncs were able to ward off the defending state champions after making four free throw shots. Robbi Ryan once again led the Lady Broncs with 11 points. “It was a tough battle, but we will take the W,” head coach Jessica Pickett said. The win brings the Lady Broncs winning streak to seven. Sheridan will have a week off before taking on their next opponent. They’ll open up 4A East conference play at home against the Cheyenne South Lady Bison (5-7) on Friday. SHS wrestling finishes sixth in Miles City SHERIDAN — The Sheridan wrestling team put in some long hours on the road this weekend traveling more than 200 miles to Miles City, Montana. The Broncs made the trip well worth their time. Sheridan finished sixth out of 26 teams at the 57th annual Cowboy Invite with 137.5 team points. The Broncs squared off against schools from North Dakota, Montana, Nebraska and Wyoming at the tournament. Sheridan brought home two firstplace performances on the shoulders of Tory Music (285) and last week’s Sheridan Press Athlete of the Week winner Kerry Powers (195). Tongue River Boys fall in weekend matchups DAYTON — The rough road continues for Robert Griffin’s basketball squad in Tongue River after losing to a pair of 2A Northwest teams this weekend. The Eagles (2-12) dropped a 68-31 game to Greybull Friday night and a 44-59 loss in Basin to the Riverside Rebels on Saturday. The Eagles are searching for their second win of 2015. Their last win came in a 53-39 come-from-behind victory against Southeast (Yoder) on Jan. 8. Tongue River could have an opportunity to begin 2A Northeastern Conference play with a win this Friday as they host the 4-9 Moorcroft Wolves. Tongue River girls split in weekend games DAYTON — The Tongue River Lady Eagles basketball team split the weekend in their final week of non-conference play. The Lady Eagles lost another heartbreaker in a 41-42 loss at Greybull on Friday, but were able to bounce back with a formidable 56-18 victory against the Riverside (Basin) Lady Rebels on Saturday. A 8-5 record for the Lady Eagles probably doesn’t indicate how well this team has been playing. In their last three losses, the Lady Eagles were defeated by an average of 3 points. Two of those losses were decided in overtime. The Lady Eagles look forward to opening up conference action as they take on the winless Moorcroft Lady Wolves. The struggling Lady Wolves are averaging slightly more than 15 points per game in their 14 games this season. Big Horn boys dismantle at Greybull BIG HORN — After two weekends in a row playing three games or more, Big Horn’s fatigue finally caused their team to dismantle. The 5-9 Rams were crushed 74-29 at Greybull on Saturday night after the Buffaloes racked up 40 points in the first half. “We just came out with not a lot of energy,” Rams head coach Ryan Alley said. Collin Powers led the Rams with seven points. The Rams are going to have an opportunity to rest up until Friday. Beginning the 2A Northeast conference with the Wright Panthers (210), Alley hopes his team will begin to be more focused on the court. Lady Rams defeat Greybull BIG HORN — The Big Horn girls basketball team (10-4) capped off the weekend with a 56-38 rout over the Greybull Lady Buffaloes. “The game went really well,” Lady Rams head coach Justin Kidneigh said. “Greybull pressed from start to finish, but our girls maintained their composure.” Kidneigh said his team made some quality defensive adjustments and took away the Lady Buffaloes inside shots. Brett Stephens, typically the Lady Buffaloes leading scorer, was held to nine points against the tenacious Lady Rams defense. Thanks to quality transition offense, Big Horn was led by Abby Buckingham with a whopping 17 points. The Lady Rams begin conference play in Wright on Friday against the Lady Panthers (8-5). SHS swimming takes ninth in Cheyenne SHERIDAN — The Bronc swimmers finished near the end of the pack on Saturday at the Cheyenne Invite. Sheridan took ninth out of 13 teams in the meet, mainly consisting of Wyoming high schools and area teams. The top-finishers for the Broncs were Presley Felker and Jacob Eckard, who took third and fourth, respectively, in the 100-yard butterfly. MIKE PRUDEN | THE SHERIDAN PRESS A composed jump stop Big Horn's Ashton Koltiska jump stops during the Lady Rams' matchup with Rocky Mountain Friday at Big Horn High School. Bomar sets school record at first indoor meet of season FROM STAFF REPORTS SHERIDAN — Three Sheridan County high schools traveled to Spearfish, South Dakota, Friday for the first indoor track meet of the season, and Sheridan High School took the reigns as the team to beat, at least in the county. Although team scores were not kept at this meet, Sheridan had a solid showing from a number of athletes. Sophomore Peyton Bomar set the tone for the Broncs, setting a new school record in the triple jump at 34-feet, 6inches, which was the top score at the meet. She also finished first in the girls long jump with a distance of 16feet, 5.25-inches. “She had a tremendous meet and made a statement of how she is going to compete this season,” head coach Art Baures said of Bomar’s performance. “We will be relying on her this season, and she is leading by example.” Bomar’s teammate, Xiomara Robinson, also had a solid first meet, finishing first in the 3200-meter run with a time of 12:14.89, shaving 45 seconds off of her personal best. The Sheridan boys didn’t have any first-place finishers this weekend, but Matt Scarlett was the closest with a second-place finish in the 800meter run with a time of 2:03.90. Scarlett also finished fifth in the 1600 with a time of 4:38.25. “It was also a good opportunity for our inexperienced athletes to get in a meet, and many of them had never competed in an indoor meet previously,” Baures said. “It’s always good to get the first meet under our belt, and now we will be able to set realistic goals for the next meet and the rest of the season.” Big Horn and Tongue River are two new indoor track programs trying to catch up to Sheridan, but they both had some solid performers on Friday as well. Christian Mayer was the top dog for the Rams, running a 7.34 in the 60meter dash, good enough for a fifth-place finish. Garrett Allen finished sixth in the shot put, throwing 44-feet, 9-inches. Sarah Bacon led the way for Tongue River with her fifth-place finish in the girls shot put with a distance of 29-feet, 9.5inches, and Micaiah Huff ’s time of 9.54 was enough for a sixth-place finish in the boys 60-meter hurdles.

NFL investigating whether Patriots used deflated footballs (AP) The NFL is investigating whether the New England Patriots deflated footballs that were used in their AFC championship game victory over the Indianapolis Colts. "We are looking into it," league spokesman Brian McCarthy wrote in an email to The Associated Press on Monday. "We do not have anything further to add at this point." The inquiry was first reported by the website for WTHR-TV in Indiana, citing an unnamed source. The Patriots have come under scrutiny with regards to NFL rules in the past, most infamously when they were punished for videotaping sideline signals used by the New York Jets during a 2007 game. Coach Bill Belichick was fined $500,000, and the team was docked $250,000 and stripped of its 2008 first-round draft pick. According to the NFL rule book, INSIDE: Hanson leads charge with 25 FROM B1 Whether it be driving hard to the basket or feeding the post, Sheridan didn’t settle for tough outside jump shots. Despite making just 11 of their 35 field goals in the first half, all 11 of them came from inside the paint. Tiana Hanson, who has made a living under the basket all season for Sheridan, barely had time to get established on the block before one of her teammates was passing her the ball. She went only 3-of-10 in the half, but she was getting the ball and forcing the defense to collapse. The shots weren’t falling, but the fouls were coming. She got to the line eight times in the first half, and the nation’s leader in free-throw attempts knocked down seven of them. “We needed to start better,” McCarthy said of the offensive adjustments. “Against Casper, we got down 41-21, and by the time you battle back, you’re exhausted. We wanted to establish that inside game first, and then it will open up from the outside.” Sheridan College is a team that shoots 18 3-pointers a game, but against Western Wyoming, they fired off only eight. To go along with Hanson’s post play, McCarthy was also pleased to see his wing players attack the basket rather than settle for jump shots. Tamara Brine, whose field-goal percentage has fluctuated throughout the season, got back to her early season ways of driving to the basket, resulting in 15 points and five trips to the free-throw line. “I really liked her competitiveness,” McCarthy said of Brine’s aggressive offense. “Her two-foot jump stops in the lane really got some key baskets at key times.” To go along with Brine’s 15, Hanson led all scorers with 25 points and had 14 rebounds. Zuzana Talackova chipped in 14 and Sam Moodie scored eight off the bench. The win puts Sheridan at 2-2 in the conference before heading to Gillette for a tough road matchup tomorrow. Tipoff is set for 5:30 p.m. home teams are responsible for furnishing playable balls at all time. Each team brings 12 primary balls, while home teams are required to also bring 12 backup balls. Once the referee makes sure the footballs are properly inflated, they're delivered to ball attendants provided by the home team. The league's game operations manual notes: "If any individual alters the footballs, or if a nonapproved ball is used in the game, the person responsible and, if appropriate, the head coach or other club personnel will be subject to discipline, including but not limited to, a fine of $25,000." ASSISTS: Butler dishes eight off bench FROM B1 In a contest where offensive struggles were the name of the game, Butler dished out eight assists and had just two turnovers. “A lot of times, freshmen kind of have a tendency when they’re playing in big games like this, they get in the paint and they panic a little bit,” Hammer said of Butler’s solid night. “Terrell didn’t. He played pretty composed tonight. That’s going to be big down the stretch, that perimeter depth, quality depth.” While Butler’s dimes were crucial for the Sheridan offense, their rebounding woes, especially late in the game, kept the score close for the entire 40 minutes. But the man of the weekend, Jamir Andrews, extended the lead just enough to force Western to foul down the stretch. Although Andrews wasn’t able to match his 32-point outburst from the night before, he still had the hot hand Saturday, at least long enough to make the play of the game. With Western keeping the score close, Andrews got fouled on a 3-pointer from the right wing and made the shot. After that, Western was forced to foul, which was both a gift and a curse for the Generals. Hammer’s squad struggles from the line but made some big ones at the end of the game Saturday. Bennie Lufile went 0-for-5 from the charity stripe, but Kyi Thomas went 4-for-4 — all in the final minutes of the game — to give Sheridan their third conference win of the season. Pablo Rivas led Sheridan with 19 points, and Andrews, Butler and Thomas all had 11 apiece. The Generals travel to face Gillette, one of the conference-favorites, tomorrow, so Hammer knows how important the two wins were this weekend. “I tip my hat to our guys,” Hammer said. “They played their butts off both games this weekend, and they put themselves in a good position. We’ll try to continue that defensive intensity in practice that we’ve been working on all this week and then go down there and go to battle with Gillette.” B4 THE SHERIDAN PRESS BABY BLUES® by Jerry Scott and Rick Kirkman COMICS www.thesheridanpress.com MONDAY, JANUARY 19, 2015 DRS. OZ & ROIZEN Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Michael Roizen MARY WORTH by Karen Moy and Joe Giella BORN LOSER® by Art and Chip Sansom Back in 1982 Billy Joel wrote: "Two men out and three men on/ Nowhere to look but inside/ Where we all respond to PRESSURE." That's how it can feel when you're sitting in the doctor's office waiting for a blood pressure test. For many, when the doc takes their BP, it soars, and it turns out that has serious consequences. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force says that between 15 percent and 30 percent of people who are told they have high blood pressure after an in-office "cuff on arm" test do NOT experience hypertension in their day-to-day life. As a result, people are given unnecessary medication! (And many more who really have it don't get tested or treated!) The best way to diagnose high BP, says the USPSTF, is to follow up an in-office test with an ambulatory monitor that you wear for 24 to 48 hours. Every 30 minutes, it assesses your BP -- even while you're sleeping. Then, a reliable diagnosis can be made. You want to know (and get treated) if your BP is elevated. High BP causes strokes, heart attack, cognitive decline and kidney disease. Even if you have mild only hypertension (140 to 159/90 to 99 mmHg) and no overt cardiovascular disease, taking antihypertensive drugs reduces your risk by more than 80 percent; you also can get your BP down with healthy lifestyle changes. Sometimes it's best to do both. So like Billy Joel said, "You have to learn to pace yourself ... You're just like everybody else -- pressure."

DEAR ABBY Pauline Phillips and Jeanne Phillips GARFIELD by Jim Davis FRANK & ERNEST® by Bob Thaves REX MORGAN, M.D. by Woody Wilson and Tony DiPreta ZITS® by Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman DILBERT by S. Adams ALLEY OOP® by Dave Graue and Jack Bender DEAR ABBY: I am dating a man, "Richard," who is significantly older -- 17 years, actually. I'm in my mid-20s. I have no problem with it, as I have always been attracted to men who are older and have their lives together. My parents are cool with it, but I know they have their reservations. Richard is not a sugar daddy; I don't love him for his money. I have my own success. I don't have "daddy issues," as my father is an amazing person who has raised me and my siblings well. My parents are still together and are great role models. My friends can't find anything in common with Richard when we all hang out. It seems everyone around us is giving us grief -including his parents. I understand the concern, but how can I convince everyone that I'm happy and willing to take this relationship wherever it goes? -- AGE IS JUST A NUMBER DEAR AGE: The way to do that is simply to BE happy and take the relationship one step at a time. While you're doing that, accept that relationships with this kind of age disparity are not without challenges. The friends you have now may never be comfortable around Richard, and you may have to make new ones closer to his age. Also, the women may look askance at you for being so young. These things can be overcome. What bothers me about this scenario is that this man's parents are weighing in. By now one would think they would have accepted that their son is an adult and capable of making his own decisions about the women in his life. DEAR ABBY: A good friend and I are having a disagreement. My 17-year-old son has a 16-year-old girlfriend. I know they are sexually active. I spoke to my son and asked if she's on the pill. He said her mom refuses to put her on the pill. I gave my son $10, had a long talk about unwanted pregnancy, and told him to buy a box of condoms every few weeks and bring me the receipt so I know the money is being spent on condoms. My problem is, my friend disagrees with me about what I did. She accused me of encouraging them. If I had a daughter, I'd buy the pill for her, so why not pay for condoms for my son? Who is right and who is wrong here? -- MISSOURI MOM DEAR MISSOURI MOM: The girl's mother may think that by not providing her sexually active daughter with birth control, she is discouraging her from having sex. Clearly that hasn't happened. Of course you are right to make sure your son doesn't impregnate his girlfriend. Neither one of them is ready for the financial and emotional responsibility of a child. Something I'm unclear about is why your friend is trying to guilt you out of it, when she should be minding her own business. Please tell her I said so. DEAR READERS: Today we remember the Rev.

MONDAY, JANUARY 19, 2015 www.thesheridanpress.com THE SHERIDAN PRESS Seahawks stun Packers with late rally for 28-22 win in OT SEATTLE (AP) — After the chaos subsided, Earl Thomas sat in his locker quietly searching for a description. For a change, the normally chatty Seattle Seahawks’ All-Pro safety had little to say. “It’s hard to describe what just happened. We were down with 3 minutes left and look what happened. I’m clueless right now,” Thomas said. “I don’t know if I’m drained. I’m grateful.” By the time Jermaine Kearse caught a 35-yard touchdown from Russell Wilson 3:19 into overtime to give the Seahawks a 28-22 win over Green Bay and a second straight NFC championship Sunday, Seattle was spent. The Seahawks were down 16-0 at halftime. They trailed 19-7 with 3:52 remaining. They watched Wilson throw four interceptions for the first time in his career. They needed two touchdowns and an onside kick recovery in the final 130 seconds just to reach overtime. The noisiest venue in the NFL was left on mute for most of the afternoon. All that made the eruption after Kearse’s TD catch even more meaningful for a team that felt they were counted out a number of times through the season. “As a true competitor, you can’t have any doubt. You can’t lack any confidence, because if you go out there, you’re already beat if you lack that confidence and that belief in yourself and your teammates,” Seattle wide receiver Doug Baldwin said. “So, never any doubt. And when it got down to 5 minutes and we were still down by 12 points, we believed that we were going to find a way to pull it out. And obviously we did that.” Seattle (14-4) already bucked history becoming the first defending champion since January 2006 to win a playoff game when the Seahawks beat Carolina in the divisional round. Thanks to the improbable comeback, Seattle is the first defending champion in a decade with a chance at repeating. Waiting for them in Arizona: the last team to pull off back-to-back titles, the New England Patriots. For 56 minutes, it appeared Green Bay and Aaron Rodgers were destined for the Super Bowl. The Packers bullied the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball and took advantage of unusual mistakes by Wilson. The 16-0 lead at halftime could have been closer to 30-0 if not for a series of goalline stands by the Seahawks’ defense. Even still, Green Bay took possession up by 12 with 5:04 left. “We have lots to evaluate but the way we lost when we were sitting there with two scores late in the game with the ball you expect to put that thing away,” Rodgers said. Seattle had been ineffective all day until Wilson finally put a drive together with passes to Baldwin and B5 Luck, Colts fall, again, to Patriots 45-7 FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Andrew Luck made no excuses after his worst game as a pro came in the biggest game of his young career. “My play was not up to par for where it needs to be to give you a chance to beat a quality team like them,” Luck said after the New England Patriots ended the Indianapolis Colts’ season with a 45-7 victory in the AFC championship Sunday. Playing in steady rain from the start, the dometeam Colts (13-6) never got on track a week after upsetting Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos on the road. Luck completed just 12 of 33 passes for 126 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions. His passer rating was a career-low 23.0. A few of Luck’s passes were dropped early in the game and the slick conditions certainly made it tougher to throw the ball and catch it. But Luck wouldn’t blame the weather. “I don’t think it had a Marshawn Lynch — initially ruled a touchdown but called back because he stepped out of bounds. Wilson finished with a 1-yard scoring run to cut the lead to 19-14 with 2:09 left. The onside kick went high to Packers tight end Brandon Bostick, but he couldn’t gather it, and Seattle’s Chris Matthews recovered at the 50. Lynch sped and powered his way to a 24-yard TD run. On the 2-point conversion, Wilson — about to be sacked — threw a desperate pass hauled in by Luke Willson to make it 22-19 with 1:25 remaining. Rodgers, limping on an injured calf, calmly led the Packers (13-5) downfield to set up Mason Crosby’s fifth field goal, a 48-yarder with 14 seconds to go to force overtime. Then Wilson and Kearse struck, with Kearse — the target on all four of Wilson’s interceptions — beating Tramon Williams on the winning pass. Kearse has also caught the winning score in last year’s conference title win over San Francisco. Instead of a postgame television moment like last year with Richard Sherman shouting, Wilson was in tears. “I’m usually pretty calm. But I just think that going through that game and going through the ups and the downs of the game, a lot of downs, more so than normal, that’s for sure,” Wilson said. “But just staying the course and continuing to believe in the guys I have around me.” negative effect on anything,” he said. Losing to the Patriots (14-4) is nothing new for Luck or the Colts. The two-time Pro Bowl quarterback is 0-4 against Tom Brady, Bill Belichick and New England in three seasons. He has six TDs and 10 interceptions in those four losses. Overall, the Colts are 14 against the Patriots in the playoffs since 2003. “It was a great run,” Colts owner Jim Irsay said. “We all believed we had a chance to run the table, but it was a great season and we improved.” The Colts have advanced one game further in each of Luck’s three seasons. They lost in the first round in 2012 and in the divisional round to the Patriots last year. While Luck struggled, the defense couldn’t stop Brady or LeGarrette Blunt. It contributed to the second-most lopsided AFC championship victory ever and third-most overall.

PICKLES NON SEQUITUR Hints from Heloise Heloise Dear Readers: Here is this week's SOUND OFF, about store checkout lanes: "My Sound Off is when I'm in line to check out at the store and a new line opens up, and the cashier doesn't ask for the next in line. So people just walking up who haven't been waiting as long get checked out before you. I think that is rude!" -- J.I. in Ohio It may be rude or it may be just an oversight. It would be nice if those people just walking up let someone from another line in first. I do try to be fair and say, "You were here first" or "You have been waiting longer." Also, when someone behind me has only a few items and I have a basketful, I offer to let that person go first. What are a few minutes in your life to be nice to someone? -Heloise FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Here are some hints for plastic utensils: * Use as plant markers. * Make maracas out of spoons, dried beans and tape. * Use for camping and picnics. * Use knives as coffee stirrers. -- Heloise GROUT CLEANER Dear Heloise: I remember you gave a hint about cleaning grout in the bathroom. The grout in our guest bathroom is looking dingy, and I would love some help. -- Yvette in Florida Here is the hint to use, and the best part is you most likely have everything in your house. You only need three ingredients: borax, baking soda and hot water. Mix 1/2 cup of borax with 1 cup of baking soda in a large bowl. Then add about 1/2 cup of hot water to the powder so that it makes a thick paste, sort of like paint. Apply it to the grout using an old toothbrush, and scrub a little. Now, for about an hour, go do something else and let the potion work. Rinse the area and scrub a little more, if needed. Baking soda is one of my all-time favorite household products. I love it so much I have devoted an entire pamphlet to all the things it can do. Want a copy? Send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Baking Soda, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Have a fiberglass shower you need to clean? Use baking soda on a damp sponge for scrubbing action and a sparkling shower. -- Heloise LUGGING LAUNDRY Dear Heloise: My washer stopped working, and I had to use a public laundry facility. I scooped several loads' worth of detergent into a plastic bag and took that rather than the whole heavy box of detergent. -Kenny S. in Oklahoma City PET HAIR BEGONE Dear Heloise: I place bath towels on sofas, chairs and beds to protect upholstery from pet hair. Before I wash them, I put them in the dryer for a short time. It removes most of the fur before washing. -- Kay in Mission Viejo, Calif. Bridge TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It's easy to be too eager to please. A casual flirtation could distract you from business or cause you to drop the ball elsewhere. Remain within the bounds of propriety with the opposite sex. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your day could be like coffee; it wakes you up but is just the same old grind. It might seem that romantic partners are preoccupied. Mind your own business as relationships quickly return to normal. CANCER (June 21-July 22): What you see is what you get. A hint of realism may make you worry that a shiny new bauble cost more than it should have, or that the microscopic scratch on the car creates an eyesore. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Today's New Moon might coincide with a time when you have proof that a stalemate has been overcome. An agreement can result in some extra spending money or a chance to compromise. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Be competent and show others you know how to do your job. The higher the stakes, the harder you must try to succeed. Don't let a passing whim or lack of sincerity place you in a bad light. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Be careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. NOW HIRING housekeepers. Apply at Candlewood Suites 1709 Sugarland Drive.

That seems debatable -a blunder is still a blunder. It is true, though, that finding a clever play on the wrong deal is pointless. In this deal, how should South plan the play in seven hearts after West leads a spade? In the auction, North used two doses of Roman Key-Card Blackwood to learn that his partner had three key-cards (three aces or, as here, two aces and the trump king) and the diamond king. North bid seven hearts, expecting partner to win one spade, six hearts (the normal length of South's suit for his overcall), three diamonds, two clubs and one club ruff in the North hand. South, with only a fivecard suit, saw the same tricks and a 13th with a second club ruff in the dummy. So, he won the first trick with dummy's spade ace, drew two rounds of trumps, cashed dummy's club king, and played another club. However, East ruffed in to defeat the contract. That was unlucky, to be sure, but there was a more clever line. Do you see it? When dummy's trumps are powerful, think "dummy reversal." After winning the first trick, South should have ruffed a spade in his hand, played a trump to Omarr’s Daily Astrological Forecast BIRTHDAY GAL: Dancer and actress Kherington Payne was born in Whittier, Calif., today in 1990.This birthday gal first made herself known to TV viewers as a contestant on "So You Think You Can Dance" in 2008. She would go on to appear on episodes of "Vegas," "True Blood" and "CSI." On the big screen, Payne's' film resume includes "Sins of Our Youth," "No Strings Attached" and "Fame." ARIES (March 21-April 19): Curl up in your cocoon. There isn't a time to be a social butterfly when your creative genius is energized. You may struggle to find the time and the energy to work in noisy places. BARTENDER. FLEXIBLE Schedule. Apply at Sutton's Tavern, 1402 N. Main St., Sheridan, WY dummy, ruffed another spade high, returned to dummy with a heart, ruffed the last spade, led a diamond or club to dummy, drawn East's third trump and claimed 13 tricks: one spade, four hearts, three diamonds, two clubs and those three spade ruffs. Jeraldine Saunders Nothing is ever absolutely perfect, but by concentrating you can do an excellent job. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Efficiency and top quality workmanship could be in demand. Every carpenter needs a hammer just as a farmer needs a plow. Having the proper tools make all the difference to the results. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Today's New Moon might mark the start of a new phase in your daily routines. You might make a private vow to be more accurate, organized and reliable. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Today's New Moon may remind you to keep your worries and concerns to yourself. Financial problems can be overcome if you don't overspend or try to outdo your peers. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A New Moon in your sign may mean it's time to take charge and take the right kind of action. Free yourself of obligations by paying off the credit card or following through on a worthy goal. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Pretending to be brave is just as good as the real thing. People will admire you for refusing to bail out in the face of difficulties. Look for lasting values instead of instant gratifica- tion. IF JANUARY 20 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: You can get far through sheer will power and ambition between now and April. Your social activities might be the center of attention during the next two to three weeks, but fulfilling your obligations and being seen as a responsible person will always be at the back of your mind. For the best results, wait until August to make major changes or commitments. In August, your judgment will be better than usual and you're more likely to make wise choices.

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.
