Wyoming lawmakers move to block cuts to sheep grazing
CHEYENNE (AP) — Some Wyoming lawmakers are pushing to protect domestic
sheep in the state from a possible federal
effort to remove them from public lands.
The U.S. Forest Service recently curtailed
domestic sheep grazing on the Payette
National Forest in Idaho to protect bighorn
sheep from disease. The agency is developing a larger plan to consider whether it
needs to curtail domestic sheep in Wyoming
and other western states to reduce the

threat to bighorns.
Domestic sheep producers in Idaho and
elsewhere last year appealed the Forest
Service’s decision to curtail grazing on the
Payette National Forest to a federal appeals
court in San Francisco. Wool growers’ associations in Wyoming, Colorado and Idaho
have joined the fight.
Amy Hendrickson, executive director of
the Wyoming Wool Growers Association,
said Thursday the prospect of coming feder-
al cuts to grazing allotments has created
great concern among sheep operators in the
state.
“It’s hard for a lot of our producers to
make management decisions, decisions
what to do, because they just don’t know
whether they’re going to be able to graze or
not,” Hendrickson said.

So far, 5
applications
received for
liquor license
BY HANNAH SHEELY
THE SHERIDAN PRESS
SHERIDAN — Today is the final
day for advertising the availability of a $1,500 retail liquor license
currently owned by the city. To
date, five entities have applied for
the license, and City Council will
soon begin the process of reviewing applicants before choosing a
buyer.
Applications for the license are
due by the end of the day Monday.
There is a Council meeting
Monday night, but City Clerk
Scott Badley said the earliest the
applications could be considered
by the Council would be its Feb.
16 meeting since a public hearing
regarding the applications will need to be
advertised for two
weeks, as required by
state statute.
Badley said once
applications are
received, the clerk’s
office will review

they are complete, send them to
the Department of Revenue
Liquor Division in Cheyenne for
review, advertise the public hearings regarding the applications,
give them to Council members for
review and then place them on a
future agenda for a public hearing and for Council discussion
and action.
City Council has wrestled with
the best way to sell the retail
liquor license since midSeptember.
At that time, Lou’s, LLC, coowned by Luminous Brewhouse
owner Cooley Butler and local
business investor Robert Utter,
applied for the license to be used
in a proposed restaurant at 201

SHERIDAN — Whether your
young one plans to enter the U.S.
Air Force, wants to take to the
skies for fun or to help people or
just needs a little more leadership, he or she may find a jumpstart to their dreams in the Civil
Air Patrol.
CAP is a nonprofit organization that performs 90 percent of
the nation's inland search and
rescue operations, saving
approximately 75 lives each year,
according to its website.
In the 1930s, more than 150,000

flying skills to use in defense of
their country.

was born one week prior to the
Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
Originally assigned to the War
Department under the jurisdiction of the Army Air Corps, the
Civil Air Patrol continued providing aid to both local and
national agencies after World
War II.
In 1946, President Harry
Truman incorporated the Civil
Air Patrol as a benevolent, nonprofit organization. In 1948,
Congress passed a law permanently establishing Civil Air
Patrol as the auxiliary of the
new U.S. Air Force.
Today the group has about
60,000 members nationwide —
including more than 250 in
Wyoming — and has three primary mission areas: aerospace

PATROL: Cadets could finish with full pilot’s license
FROM 1
Sen. Larry Hicks, R-Baggs, is sponsoring a bill to
codify in Wyoming law a plan that state agencies have
used for the past 10 years to resolve possible conflicts
between wild and domestic sheep. Recognizing the
plan in state law will put the state on firmer legal
ground if it has to fight any federal effort to evict
domestic sheep producers, he said.
State management agencies, hunting groups and
grazing interests worked together to devise the
Wyoming plan in 2004. It ranks sheep areas in the
state according to their value, placing the greatest
restrictions on domestic sheep in the prime bighorn
areas.
“For the last 10 years, we’ve been operating under a
handshake,” Hicks said. “In Wyoming it works really
well, to the point that the agencies have adopted it.”
The Wyoming Wool Growers Association and the
Wyoming Wild Sheep Foundation, a wild sheep conservation group, intervened together against environmental groups that filed a federal lawsuit alleging that
domestic sheep grazing threatened a small bighorn
herd on the Medicine Bow National Forest. A decision
in that lawsuit is still pending.
Hicks sponsored legislation that became law two
years ago specifying that if concern over bighorns in
the Medicine Bow National Forest threatened existing
domestic sheep operators that the state would remove
the wild sheep.
Sen. Stan Cooper, R-Kemmerer, is sponsoring similar
legislation this year that would specify the state would
remove a herd of bighorns from the Darby Mountain
area of the Bridger-Teton National Forest if the federal government proposed to cut domestic sheep operations there.
FROM 1
Senior member and cadet
parent Kristen Marcus said
what really sets the program apart from other
youth organizations in
Sheridan is that this program is putting kids into a
situation where they can
help someone in an extreme
situation.
Currently, cadets are
being trained to be groundlevel certified in search and
rescue missions and hope
to be certified in June.
Parents are encouraged to
sign up either as a sponsor
— who goes with on trips
and helps out but doesn’t
get any training — or as a
senior member who
receives training in any of
18 different positions.
“I signed up just to spend
more time with my daughter and found out it was
really cool and I want to
stay in it,” Marcus said. “I
think it’s pretty rigorous.
For the three things I wanted to train for I had to complete 117 tasks and I’ve completed 37. And that’s just for
the lower level of all of
those; to be master rating it
takes much more time.”
But the hard work could
lead to big rewards.
If a cadet begins at age 12
and continues through age
18, they could leave the program with a full pilot’s
license. Normally a very
expensive process, the
training they receive is
fully covered by the CAP
annual fee.
If a cadet has an interest
in enlisting in the Air
Force, they could enter the
ranks a grade or two higher
than a non-CAP enlistee,
meaning higher pay and
higher rank at a younger
age.
Other interests that
would benefit from participation are EMTs, life flight
pilots, private or small aircraft pilots or even somebody who just wants to
learn leadership skills,

Marcus said.
Under the direction of
Capt. Jeffrey Baum, a commercial airline pilot of 30
years, cadets get to take
flight and even take the
yoke during flight.
Some members of the
community have expressed
concerns regarding the
cadets taking flight after an
accident in 2007 killed CAP
senior members from
Sheridan.
Three members were out
in a Cessna 182R aircraft
searching for a teen who
went missing while fishing,
and were killed when their
plane crashed in the
Bighorn National Forest.
The plane went down on a
Monday evening and on
Tuesday, rescuers reached
the remote crash site and
recovered the bodies of the
crew members, Lt. Col.
James Henderson of
Cowley and Senior Member
James Meyer and Capt.
Patricia Larson, both of
Sheridan.
The missing teen, Keith
Bellack of Gillette, was
found alive.
“Since then, the community has had a foul taste in
their mouths for us,”
Marcus said. “It was horrible and it should not have
ever happened. Accidents
happen and we have worked
to rectify the problem. The
problem that caused the
crash is that orders were
not followed to the letter.
We have a new wing commander who will not put up
with any person not fulfilling any order no matter
how inconsequential it may
seem. If he gives an order
and it is not followed then
you will not fly.”
But to Marcus, it is all
about the personal benefits
both her and her daughter
have received.
Marcus has seen a
marked improvement in the
attitude of her daughter,
who she said is a typical
pre-teen.
“She is 12 going on 13 and
she has that attitude, but
she’s learning a lot of
restraint with the Civil Air
Patrol because she has to
follow orders,” Marcus
said. “Everybody works as
a team so everybody knows
what is expected of them
and when they are expected
to do it.”
As a senior member,
Marcus appreciates the
opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others.
“I’ve always been in civil
service; I’ve been a Girl
Scout leader and things
throughout my life,” she
said.
“So to be a part of potentially making real changes,
potentially churning out a
cadet who could go out and
save someone’s life is excellent,” she added. “I think it
is an amazing opportunity
for the youth and the adults
to not only get involved in
the community but also do
something that has a much
bigger picture.”

Sheridan man enters not guilty plea
in district court for child endangerment
FROM STAFF REPORTS
SHERIDAN — A Sheridan
man pleaded not guilty to
one charge of child endangerment Thursday in 4th
Judicial District Court.
Kyle Nelson, 26, was
charged after a Nov. 25
search warrant executed on
his home resulted in his
arrest.
Police searching the home
discovered drug paraphernalia, some with methamphetamine residue, littering
the basement in a room
with two beds. The drug
was found hidden in the
laundry room. Also hidden
in the home were several
firearms and a large
amount of ammunition.
Police discovered that
Nelson lives in the basement of his family’s home,
where children also either
lived or regularly stayed.
According to an affidavit
of probable cause, police
had been tipped off by
someone who claimed to
have been in the house and
was worried about the chil-
dren.
The Department of
Family Services interviewed the family at the
time the search warrant
was executed and determined the children in the
home had access to the
basement where the drugs
were kept and used. The
agency declared the home
unfit for children.
If convicted, Nelson faces
up to five years in prison,
up to $5,000 in fines or both.
His trial has been scheduled for June.

WYOMING BRIEFS |
House holds first vote on
religious freedom bill
CHEYENNE (AP) — A bill regarding the
religious rights of people has received initial approval in the state House of
Representatives.
House Bill 83 won preliminary approval
on Thursday. It faces two more votes in the
chamber before it can be sent on to the
Senate for further debate.
Supporters say the bill protects the religious rights of people who don’t want to
participate in activities they find morally
objectionable.
Opponents argue the bill would curtail
the rights of others.
The bill comes after Wyoming was forced
by a federal court to recognize gay marriage.
The bill’s main sponsor is Republican
Rep. Nathan Winters, of Thermopolis.
Winters says the measure aims to defend
religious freedom from government overreach.
But Democratic Rep. James Byrd, of
Cheyenne, says the bill would legalize discrimination.
House panel OKs resolution on
wild horse population
CHEYENNE (AP) — The state House
Agriculture Committee has endorsed a resolution calling on Congress to address the
over population of wild horses in Wyoming
and other western states.
The resolution passed the committee on a
9-0 vote Thursday and now goes to the full
House for debate.
There are some 3,000 wild horses roaming
Wyoming on federal land. But some
landowners say there are too many wild
horses that stress the available food
resources and cause damage to ranch operations.
The Bureau of Land Management manages the wild horse herds but hasn’t been
able to keep up.
The proposed resolution has the support
of Wyoming farming and ranching organizations.
Poll shows giant gap between
what public, scientists think
WASHINGTON (AP) — The American public and U.S. scientists are light-years apart on science issues. And 98 percent of surveyed scientists say it’s a problem that we don’t
know what they’re talking about.
Scientists are far less worried about genetically modified
food, pesticide use and nuclear power than is the general
public, according to matching polls of both the general
public and the country’s largest general science organization. Scientists were more certain that global warming is
caused by man, evolution is real, overpopulation is a danger and mandatory vaccination against childhood diseases
is needed.
In eight of 13 science-oriented issues, there was a 20-percentage-point or higher gap separating the opinions of the
public and members of the American Association for the
Advancement of Science, according to survey work by the
Pew Research Center. The gaps didn’t correlate to any liberal-conservative split; the scientists at times take more
traditionally conservative views and at times more liberal.
“These are big and notable gaps,” said Lee Rainie, director of Pew’s internet, science and technology research. He
said they are “pretty powerful indicators of the public and
the scientific community seeing the world differently.”
In the most dramatic split, 88 percent of the scientists
surveyed said it is safe to eat genetically modified foods,
while only 37 percent of the public say it is safe and 57 percent say it is unsafe.

LETTER |
Remembering a friend;
knowing a safety need
Re: Press editorial, Jan. 24
Larry Hurst was a great friend and an
incredible mentor. He had the ability to
make something positive out of even the
most negative situations. His death
should be no different.
Last Saturday, I read with great interest The Sheridan Press editorial on new
bicycle safety efforts being undertaken
within our state. To put it frankly, the
editorial did not go far enough.
Enforcement, education, and pathways!
As a community, we need to step up and
finish the pathway from Sheridan
College all the way to the Woodland Park
Elementary School area. This must
include a safe crossing at Sheridan
College similar to the crossing recently
installed in front of Sheridan Memorial
Hospital.
The weather is getting warmer and
children and families will be getting
more active. Imagine if they could be a
little safer as well. I believe this simple
act would have saved Larry’s life. And so
whatever it takes to accomplish this
task, let’s work together to get it done for
Larry’s memory and for our own safety.

Super Bowl trivia: Only three coaches

Barry Switzer, Pete Carroll.
••••••
Favorite Super Bowl story.
In Barry Switzer’s second season as head
coach of the Dallas Cowboys in 1995, they
went 12-4. Pundits, NFL coaches and others
disrespected Switzer the year before because
he had taken over Jimmy Johnson’s two
Super Bowl winning teams and was seen as
a go-along-lackey type of coach for owner
Jerry Jones. Johnson and Jones had a tempestuous marriage and breakup as coach
and owner. Jones hired Switzer who had
previously won three national championships as coach of the Oklahoma Sooners.
In preparing for Super Bowl XXX against
the Steelers, Switzer checked into the team’s
Tempe, Arizona, hotel and took a two-bedroom suite with a living room in the middle.
In one bedroom was Switzer’s ex-wife; in the
other, his girlfriend.
The news of Switzer’s suite mates leaked
to media. Jones was asked by a horde of
Super Bowl reporters about the unusual living arrangement of his Cowboys coach.
“See,” Jones replied, “I told you he could
coach.”
The Cowboys won, 27-17.

A
Nuclear Iran is new Auschwitz
mid the ritual expressions of regret
and the pledges of "never again" on
Tuesday's 70th anniversary of the
liberation of Auschwitz, a bitter
irony was noted: Anti-Semitism has
returned to Europe. With a vengeance.
It has become routine. If the koshergrocery massacre in Paris hadn't happened in conjunction
with Charlie Hebdo,
how much worldwide
notice would it have
received? As little as
did the murder of a
rabbi and three children at a Jewish
school in Toulouse.
As little as did the
CHARLES
terror attack that
KRAUTHAMMER killed four at the
Jewish Museum in

Brussels.
The rise of
European anti-Semitism is in reality just
a return to the norm. For a millennium,
virulent Jew-hatred — persecution,
expulsions, massacres — was the norm
in Europe until the shame of the
Holocaust created a temporary anomaly
wherein anti-Semitism became socially
unacceptable.
The hiatus is over. Jew-hatred is back,
recapitulating the past with impressive
zeal. Italians protesting Gaza handed out
leaflets calling for a boycott of Jewish
merchants. As in the 1930s. A widely
popular French comedian has introduced a variant of the Nazi salute. In
Berlin, Gaza brought out a mob chanting, "Jew, Jew, cowardly pig, come out
and fight alone!" Berlin, mind you.
European anti-Semitism is not a
Jewish problem, however. It's a
European problem, a stain, a disease of
which Europe is congenitally unable to
rid itself.

From the Jewish point of view,
European anti-Semitism is a sideshow.
The story of European Jewry is over. It
died at Auschwitz. Europe's place as the
center and fulcrum of the Jewish world
has been inherited by Israel, now the
largest Jewish community on earth.
The threat to the Jewish future lies not
in Europe but in the Muslim Middle
East, today the heart of global antiSemitism, a veritable factory of antiJewish literature, films, blood libels and
calls for violence, indeed for another
genocide.
The founding charter of Hamas calls
not just for the eradication of Israel but
for the killing of Jews everywhere.
Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah welcomes Jewish emigration to Israel —
because it makes the killing easier: ''If
Jews all gather in Israel, it will save us
the trouble of going after them worldwide.'' And, of course, Iran openly
declares as its sacred mission the annihilation of Israel.
For America, Europe and the moderate
Arabs there are powerful reasons having
nothing to do with Israel for trying to
prevent an apocalyptic, fanatically antiWestern clerical regime in Tehran from
getting the bomb: Iranian hegemony,
nuclear proliferation (including to terror
groups) and elemental national security.
For Israel, however, the threat is of a
different order. Direct, immediate and
mortal.
The sophisticates cozily assure us not
to worry. Deterrence will work. Didn't it
work against the Soviets? Well, just 17
years into the atomic age, we came harrowingly close to deterrence failure and
all-out nuclear war. Moreover, godless
communists anticipate no reward in
heaven. Atheists calculate differently
from jihadists with their cult of death.
Name one Soviet suicide bomber.
Former Iranian President Ali Akbar
Hashemi Rafsanjani once characterized
tiny Israel as a one-bomb country. He
acknowledged Israel's deterrent capacity
but noted the asymmetry: "Application
of an atomic bomb would not leave anything in Israel but the same thing would
just produce damages in the Muslim
world." Result? Israel eradicated, Islam
vindicated. So much for deterrence.
And even if deterrence worked with
Tehran, that's not where the story ends.
Iran's very acquisition of nukes would
set off a nuclear arms race with half a
dozen Muslim countries from Turkey to
Egypt to the Gulf states — in the most
unstable part of the world. A place
where, say, a moderate pro-American
Yemen can fall to pro-Iranian rebels
overnight.
The idea that some kind of six-sided
deterrence would work in this roiling
cauldron of instability the way it did in
the frozen bipolarity of the Cold War is
simply ridiculous.
The Iranian bomb is a national security issue, an alliance issue and a regional
Middle East issue. But it is also a
uniquely Jewish issue because of Israel's
situation as the only state on earth overtly threatened with extinction, facing a
potential nuclear power overtly threatening that extinction.
On the 70th anniversary of Auschwitz,
mourning dead Jews is easy. And, forgive
me, cheap. Want to truly honor the dead?
Show solidarity with the living — Israel
and its 6 million Jews. Make "never
again" more than an empty phrase. It
took Nazi Germany seven years to kill 6
million Jews. It would take a nuclear
Iran one day.

‘The Thorn Birds’ author Colleen
McCullough dies
Helen Eustis, award-winning
mystery writer, dead at 98
SYDNEY (AP) — Best-selling Australian author
Colleen McCullough, whose novel “The Thorn
Birds” sold 30 million copies worldwide, has died
at age 77 after a long illness.
McCullough died Thursday in a hospital on
remote Norfolk Island, HarperCollins Australia
publishing director Shona Martyn said in a statement.
McCullough had continued producing books
despite a string of health and eyesight problems
by using dictation, Martyn said.
“Ever quick-witted and direct, we looked forward to her visits from Norfolk Island and the
arrival of each new manuscript delivered in hard
copy in custom-made maroon manuscript boxes
inscribed with her name,” Martyn said.
McCullough wrote 25 novels throughout her
career. Her final book “Bittersweet” was released
in 2013.
Her first novel “Tim” was published in 1974. It
became a movie starring Mel Gibson, who played
a young, intellectually disabled handyman who
had a romance with a middle-aged woman.
Her second novel, “The Thorn Birds,” published
in 1977, became a U.S. television mini-series in
1983 starring Richard Chamberlain, Rachel Ward
and Christopher Plummer. The Outback melodrama about a priest’s struggle between church and
love won four Golden Globe awards.
NEW YORK (AP) — Helen Eustis, an Edgar
Award-winning mystery writer who later translated works by Georges Simenon and other
European authors, has died. She was 98.
Eustis’ son, Adam Fisher, said Thursday that
she died Jan. 11 at the Beth Israel Medical Center
in New York City of natural causes.
Eustis’ “The Horizontal Man” was a crime story
about a murdered English professor that won the
Edgar in 1947 for best debut novel. “Horizontal
Man” will be included this fall in a Library of
America anthology of 1940s-’50s crime fiction by
women.
She also wrote “The Fool Killer,” adapted into a
1965 movie of the same name starring Anthony
Perkins, and the children’s story “Mr. Death and
the Redheaded Woman.”
She received an O’Henry Prize for the short
story “An American Home,” published in 1947.
Her translations include Simenon’s “When I
Was Old” and Edmond Charles-Roux’s “To Forget
Palermo.”
A native of Cincinnati, she attended Smith
College as an undergraduate and based “The
Horizontal Man” in part on her time there.
Eustis was married and divorced twice.
She is survived by her son, her daughter-in-law,
Elizabeth, and by three grandchildren.
Today’s Highlights in
History:
On Jan. 30, 1945, during
World War II, more than 500
Allied captives held at the
Japanese prison camp in
Cabanatuan in the
Philippines were liberated by
U.S. Army Rangers, Alamo
Scouts and Filipino guerrilla
fighters. Adolf Hitler marked
the 12th anniversary of his
appointment as Germany’s
chancellor with his last public speech in which he called
on Germans to keep resisting
until victory.
On this date:
In 1615, Thomas Rolfe, the
only child of John Rolfe and
his wife, Rebecca (the former
Pocahontas), was born in
Jamestown in the Virginia
Colony.
In 1815, the U.S. House of
Representatives joined the
Senate in agreeing to purchase the personal book collection of former President
Thomas Jefferson to replace
volumes lost when the
British burned the U.S.
Capitol and its congressional
library during the War of
1812.
In 1882, the 32nd president
of the United States,
Franklin Delano Roosevelt,
was born in Hyde Park, New
York.
In 1933, Adolf Hitler
became chancellor of
Germany. The first episode of
the “Lone Ranger” radio program was broadcast on station WXYZ in Detroit.
In 1948, Indian political
and spiritual leader
Mohandas K. Gandhi, 78, was
shot and killed in New Delhi
by Nathuram Godse, a Hindu
extremist. (Godse and a coconspirator were later executed.) Aviation pioneer
Orville Wright, 76, died in
Dayton, Ohio.
In 1962, two members of
“The Flying Wallendas”
high-wire act were killed
when their seven-person
pyramid collapsed during a
performance at the State
Fair Coliseum in Detroit.
In 1968, the Tet Offensive
began during the Vietnam
War as Communist forces
launched surprise attacks
against South Vietnamese
provincial capitals.
In 1969, The Beatles
staged an impromptu concert atop Apple headquarters
in London; it was the group’s
last public performance.
In 1972, 13 Roman
Catholic civil rights
marchers were shot to death
by British soldiers in
Northern Ireland on what
became known as “Bloody
Sunday.”
Ten years ago: Iraqis
voted in their country’s first
free election in a half-century; President George W. Bush
called the balloting a
resounding success. The
downing of a C-130 military
transport plane north of
Baghdad killed all 10 British
servicemen on board; the
militant group Ansar alIslam claimed responsibility.
Five years ago: China suspended military exchange
visits with the United States
in protest over $6.4 billion in
planned U.S. arms sales to
Taiwan. (Those exchanges
were reinstated in Jan. 2011.)
One year ago: An appeals
court in Florence, Italy, reinstated the guilty verdict
against U.S. student Amanda
Knox and her ex-boyfriend
for the 2007 murder of her
British roommate, Meredith
Kercher. (Knox was sentenced to 28 1/2 years in
prison, raising the specter of
a long legal battle over her
extradition from the U.S.
should the conviction be
upheld.)
Thought for Today: “Only
when we are no longer afraid
do we begin to live.” —
Dorothy Thompson,
American author, journalist
and radio commentator
(born 1893, died this date in
1961).

Ex-museum director now
charged with misdemeanor
RIVERTON (AP) — Prosecutors have reduced charges
against former Pioneer Museum director Carol Thiesse
from a felony to a misdemeanor.
Prosecutors say they didn’t have enough evidence to
prove the felony charges because they could not determine the value of items taken from the museum.
Thiesse pleaded not guilty to the new charges.
According to the Riverton Ranger, Thiesse now faces
one count of larceny by bailee. Prosecutors say she
stole property from the museum.
The maximum penalty
for the misdemeanor is
six months in prison and
a fine of $750.

Senate passes bill approving
Keystone XL oil pipeline
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Republicancontrolled Senate on Thursday approved a
bipartisan bill to construct the Keystone
XL oil pipeline, defying a presidential veto
threat and setting up the first of many battles with the White House over energy and
the environment.
The 62-36 vote advanced a top priority of
the newly empowered GOP, and marked the
first time the Senate passed a bill authorizing the pipeline, despite numerous
attempts to force President Barack
Obama’s hand on the issue. Nine
Democrats joined with 53 Republicans to
back the measure.
This bill “is an important accomplishment for the country,” said Majority Leader
Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. “We are
hoping the president upon reflection will
agree to sign on to a bill that the State
Department said could create up to 42,000
jobs and the State Department said creates
little to no impact on the environment.”
Still the vote was short of the threshold
needed to override a veto, and the legislation still must be reconciled with the version the House passed.
“We hope President Obama will now drop
his threat to veto this common-sense bill
that would strengthen our energy security
and create thousands and thousands of
new, good-paying American jobs,” said
House Speaker John Boehner.
Most Democrats framed the bill as a gift
to a foreign oil company that would have
little benefit for the American people,
because much of the oil would be exported.
They tried and failed to get amendments on
the bill to construct the pipeline with U.S.
steel, ban exports of the oil and the products refined from it, and protect water
resources.
The Senate agreed to add an energy efficiency measure, and went on the record
saying climate change was not a hoax and
the oil sands should be subject to a tax that
helps pay for oil spill cleanups. Oil sands
are currently exempt.

Big Horn hoopers start weekend with two wins over Riverside
BY MIKE PRUDEN
THE SHERIDAN PRESS
MIKE PRUDEN | THE SHERIDAN PRESS
Big Horn sophomore Saije Pollard throws a cross-court pass during the second half of Thursday's win over Riverside at Big Horn High School.
BIG HORN — Both the Big Horn
boys and girls basketball teams
kicked off their three-game weekend with wins over Riverside last
night, albeit in two varying styles.
In the opening game, the Lady
Rams (11-5) were off and running,
leaving the Lady Rebels (1-12) to
eat their dust as they stormed to a
66-21 win.
The Riverside girls team is one
of the youngest in the state. Just
one junior stood out in a group of
freshmen and sophomores, and it
was evident in the team’s style of
play. As shots ricocheted off the
backboard and weak passes fell
into the arms of Big Horn defenders, the Lady Rams took full
advantage.
Of Big Horn’s 28 made field
goals, 25 of them came from with-
in 5 feet of the basket. The emphasis was on passing, specifically up
the court, and it paid off.
The Lady Rams jumped to a commanding 20-5 lead in the first quarter, and 18 of those points came in
the paint or at the free-throw line.
It wasn’t until two 3-pointers late
in the fourth quarter that Big
Horn hit a shot from deep, but it
didn’t matter. By that point the
Lady Rams had stretched their
lead to 40, starting a running clock
to end the game.
An even-scoring night across the
Big Horn stat sheet was led by
Kayla Crouse’s 12 points. She also
brought down six rebounds, five
on the offensive end of the floor.
Abby Buckingham finished with
10 points, Ashton Koltiska had
nine and Mollie Caiola had eight.
Where defensive stops led to fastbreak points for the Lady Rams, it
was the same broken record on the
Marshawn
Lynch talks
about why
he doesn't
talk to
the media
PHOENIX (AP) —
Marshawn Lynch changed
the script and fired back at
his critics.
After two days of giving
only scripted answers, the
Seattle Seahawks' star running back gave his most
extensive comments of
Super Bowl week, mostly
telling reporters why he
won't talk to them.
"I don't know what story
y'all trying to get out of me.
I don't know what image
y'all trying to portray of
me," Lynch said Thursday.
"But it don't matter what
y'all think, what y'all say
about me because when I go
home at night, the same people that I look in the face —
my family that I love, that's
all that really matter to me.
So y'all can go make up
whatever y'all want to make
up because I don't say
enough for y'all to go and
put anything out on me."
When Lynch arrived at the
podium, a man with a
reporter's credential who
said he was a teacher asked
him to give his students a
"shoutout."
But Lynch wouldn't bite
and began his unscripted
statement.
"Y'all shove cameras and
microphones down my
throat," Lynch continued.
"But when I'm at home in
my environment, I don't see
y'all, but y'all mad at me.”
turntable for the boys team: a slow
start.
Big Horn (7-9) ended up controlling the game and winning 55-41,
but another rough first quarter
left head coach Ryan Alley with
plenty to harp on as they roll into
the weekend.
“We’ve had a lot of talks about
it,” Alley said of the slow start.
“One of these times we’re going to
find a team that that’s not going to
work. Moving forward with conference we can’t have these kind of
let downs where we let a team stay
with us longer than they should.”
It was the defense that struggled
in the first quarter, allowing
Riverside (6-7) ball handlers to
penetrate and get to the basket
uncontested.

FROM STAFF REPORTS
SHERIDAN — The Sheridan Broncs had another
rough outing in the pool during their home dual
against Campbell County High School.
In the 12 events, Sheridan managed only 65 points
against Campbell County’s 121 team points.
However, the Broncs had some notable individual
performances.
This week’s Sheridan Press Athlete of the Week
Presley Felker continued his strong performance
from last weekend, winning the only event for the
Broncs in the 100-meter butterfly with a time of
1:06.86.
Felker also took second in the 200-meter freestyle
and was part of the second-place teams in the 200meter medley relay, the 200-meter freestyle relay and
the 400-meter freestyle relay.
Additionally, Sheridan’s Zach Ahlstrom took second out of 10 competitors in the 50-meter freestyle.
The Broncs will head to Casper today to take on
swimming powerhouse Kelly Walsh High School.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP)
— Four holes into his first
tournament of the year,
Tiger Woods already was 4over par and 10 shots out of
the lead in the Phoenix
Open.
When he reached his tee
shot on the par-4 fifth hole,
he saw the golf ball partially sunken in a divot. Woods
put his hands on his hips,
closed his eyes and shook
his head, wondering what
else could possibly go
wrong.
He couldn't chip.
He made only one putt
over 6 feet, which is misleading only because Woods
had just three birdie
attempts on the green from
inside 20 feet.
He hit one tee shot off the
wall of someone's backyard,
another in the desert that
was marked by a hazard,
and yet another that sailed
into the gallery on a hill.
This was not the same
Tiger Woods the crowd in
Phoenix saw 14 years ago.
His last time at this tournament, Woods was No. 1 in
the world by a mile and
working his way toward
Augusta National and a
chance to sweep the majors,
which he did. Now he is No.
47 in the world, coming off
another injury-laden season,
without a major in eight
years.
He is 39. And he needs
time.
"This is my second tournament in six months, so I just
need tournament rounds
like this where I can fight
through it, turn it around,
grind through it and make
adjustments on the fly,"
Woods said.

Larson wants to build
his own legacy in Ganassi’s No. 42
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) —
Kyle Larson, flashing his
new Rolex watch, was
unfazed Thursday after
learning Chase Elliott was
going to replace Jeff Gordon
in the iconic No. 24.
Many NASCAR fans have
believed that Larson was the
heir apparent to the fourtime champion, a notion
Gordon fueled with constant
praise of the reigning Sprint
Cup Series rookie of the year.
Only Larson drives for
Chip Ganassi Racing, and
says he is happy right where
he is behind the wheel of the
No. 42 Chevrolet. Gordon
announced last week that
2015 will be his last in the
car, and Hendrick
Motorsports has named 19year-old Elliott has his
replacement.
“That’s cool for him,”
Larson said. “I’m happy
where I’m at. Just flip-flop
the number, I’m good.”
Larson was part of
Ganassi’s four-driver lineup
that won Sunday’s prestigious Rolex 24 at Daytona,
where the victors receive special-edition timepieces. He
also won a sprint car race
this month in Arizona, a
midget race in Oklahoma,
and he’s riding a wave of
momentum into next month’s
start of his second Cup season.
Although he grew up a
Gordon fan, he said he never
dreamed of driving Gordon’s
car.
“When I was a kid, Jeff
Gordon was invincible and I
probably thought he was
going to race the rest of his
life,” the 22-year-old Larson
said.
He cheered for Gordon as
he won his four titles and
climbed to third on the alltime victories list, and now
believes he’s got the chance
to make his own mark in
NASCAR while driving for
Ganassi.
“A lot of people have told
me that the 24 then was what
the 42 is now where they
weren’t the biggest team in
NASCAR and Jeff kind of
took that and made it into
what it is,” said Larson.
“I like that possibility to be
the guy to make Chip
Ganassi Racing a championship team year in and year
out. I look forward to hopefully spending a long time
with Chip and win a lot of
races.”

No. 4 Blue Devils dismiss junior
Rasheed Sulaimon from team
DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — Duke dismissed junior guard Rasheed
Sulaimon from the team on Thursday.
Coach Mike Krzyzewski said in a
statement that Sulaimon "has been
unable to consistently live up to the
standards required to be a member of
our program.
"It is a privilege to represent Duke
University and with that privilege
comes the responsibility to conduct
oneself in a certain manner," he said.
"After Rasheed repeatedly struggled
to meet the necessary obligations, it
became apparent that it was time to
dismiss him from the program."
Krzyewski didn't not give any
details as to what standards or conduct Sulaimon failed to meet, but university spokesman Matt Plizga said
that Sulaimon, a junior from Houston,
remains in good academic standing
and is expected to finish the spring
semester.
Sulaimon was averaging 7.5 points,
2 rebounds and 1.8 assists this year,
coming off the bench in every game.
The move comes a day after the
fourth-ranked Blue Devils (17-3, 4-3
Atlantic Coast Conference) lost at No.
8 Notre Dame.
They visit unbeaten and No. 2
Virginia on Saturday night.
Sulaimon's playing time steadily
declined during his three seasons. He
started 33 of 36 games as a freshman
in 2012-13 before bouncing in and out
of the starting lineup last year.
He averaged 29.2 minutes during his
first year while playing at least 15
minutes in every game, but averaged
25.6 as a sophomore. He's playing just
19.3 minutes per game this season.
During one two-game stretch last
season, he was held out of a home
win against Michigan, then played
just five minutes against GardnerWebb.

MARY WORTH by Karen Moy and Joe Giella
BORN LOSER® by Art and Chip Sansom
"Godzilla 2" is set for
release in 2018, but talk about
it is all over the blogosphere.
Seems in the movie, scientist
Nick Tatopoulos is determined to show his colleagues
that the much-hunted crea-
ture is gentle. But when Nick
nuzzles up to the big G, its "
roar is so odorific that it
knocks him off his feet. (No
spoiler alert needed; that's
not the whole plot.)
As a scientist, Nick
should've expected that,
because having a revved-up
stress response can cause
serious bad breath -- and that
creature is stressed! Stress
hormones help oral bacteria
produce stinky sulfuric compounds, and dry mouth,
which is also associated with
stress, makes things worse.
But bad breath isn't the
only sneaky sign of stress.
Researchers at CarnegieMellon found that stress
makes you almost twice as
likely to catch a cold. If
you're constantly battling
that nighttime-coughing-sniffling-aching feeling, try a
chill pill instead of a cold
pill.
Dropping things also can
signal you're under stress,
because stress disrupts focus.
So if you're constantly dropping stuff, pick up our advice
for busting your stress
response.
1. Mindful meditation 10-30
minutes daily: instructions at
sharecare.com.
2. Move it. Physical activity
clears stress hormones and
your mind, reduces inflammation and relaxes muscles.
We suggest a walking program, aiming for 10,000 steps
a day.
3. Avoid inflammation-producing foods; they compound
the inflammation stress causes (which leads to greater
risk for everything from
heart and kidney problems to
some cancers). Skip added
sugars and syrups, most saturated fat, all trans fats and
any grain that isn't 100 percent whole.

DEAR ABBY: Last week, I
had a seizure in front of my
fourth-grade students. This
has never happened to me
before, so I had never spoken
to my students about such a
thing. I want to write them
and their families a letter
expressing my apologies,
thanking them for their kind
thoughts and giving basic
advice on how to handle a
seizure. Is this appropriate? If
so, how do I start the letter? -APPROPRIATE IN NEW
JERSEY
DEAR APPROPRIATE:
Before writing the letter,
check with the principal of
your school. Because you
now know that you are prone
to having seizures, I think it
makes sense that your students should know what one
is, and what to do in case it
happens again in the classroom. Some seizures can be
almost unnoticeable, while
others can be quite severe. If
yours are severe, a student
should immediately inform
another adult and ask for
help.
P.S. While you may want to
thank everyone for their
kindness, it should not be
necessary to apologize to anybody for something you
couldn't control.
DEAR ABBY: My daughter
has always been very independent. She had a normal
childhood with the usual
friends and events, nothing
traumatic that I know of. She
is a pretty girl with a funny
personality and is very
bright.
The issue is, she is 18 and
has been on only two dates.
She shows no interest in
forming any sort of romantic
relationship. She has never
had a boyfriend, though
many boys have expressed
interest in her. The two dates
she did go on, one in high
school and one in college, she
called "duds."
She says she's not gay, and
has commented on good-looking guys. I don't know what
to think. Do you? -- WONDERING MOM
DEAR WONDERING MOM:
You say your daughter has
always been independent. It's
possible she has enough selfassurance that she doesn't
think she needs a man in her
life right now. It may also be
that before becoming emotionally involved with anyone she would prefer to focus
on her education or career
path. Whatever her reasons,
you would be making a mistake to push her in any direction she doesn't feel ready for,
or make her uncomfortable
about being the way she is.
DEAR ABBY: Mom passed
away five years ago, and Dad
died four months ago. For the
last years of his life Dad was
hoping we'd move into their
home. It's a beautiful place in
a country setting with lots of
trees, including pecan trees.
We were undecided.
After Dad died, my husband and I were at home
making all the funeral
arrangements and we were
both emotionally exhausted.
While I tried to stay busy
inside the house, my husband decided to go outside to
clear his head. While walking around the yard, he
found a pecan in the grass!
Abby, there are no pecan
trees in this entire neighborhood. We knew the rational
answer was that a squirrel
must have dropped it, but in
our hearts we felt it was Dad
giving us the hug we needed
so badly, and his way of
telling us that everything
will work out.
We will be moving into my
parents' home in the near
future. -- AT PEACE IN
LOUISIANA
DEAR AT PEACE: There's
nothing nutty about your
experience. Sometimes we
just need a nudge from above
to guide us into doing what's
right for us. I wish you well
in your new home.
Dear Abby is written by
Abigail Van Buren, also
known as Jeanne Phillips,
and was founded by her
mother, Pauline Phillips.

Hints from Heloise
Heloise
Dear Readers: Our BELOVED
PETS are like family. Like family, they age, but unfortunately
dogs age more rapidly. Older
dogs and cats face many of the
same medical problems humans do. Having had the privilege of many, many dogs in our
lives (plus birds, ferrets, cats
and others, too), we have
learned some hints along the
way.
Our second mini schnauzer,
Sauvignon (Savvi for short), became diabetic at about 11 years
and required insulin shots. We
all learned how to do this (even
my husband, David, who hated
needles!) without it being a big
deal. After all, it prolonged her
life (in pretty good health, too)
for a year or so. She turned
blind a year later, and we all
learned how to cope with this
also. She went to doggie Valhalla when she was 13 years
old.
Here are some helpful hints
from Heloise and family to help
you and your pet deal with
blindness:
* Your dog can't see someone
approaching, so talk before
touching or petting your pet,
who can hear you. I used a
calm voice and would say,
"Savvi, I'm in the room" or
"Savvi, want to have dinner?"
* Leave things in place until
your pooch learns where the
furniture is and how to navigate a room. Your pet knows
your scent and will follow it
through the house!
* If there is something dangerous your pet might bump
into (sharp corners on a glass
table), pad the item, if needed.
Like a person, a pet who is
going blind will take some time
to adjust. Be patient and talk
more when moving about. Your
pet can still hear and smell, so
these senses are heightened. -Hugs, Heloise
P.S.: Our longtime friend and
Savvi's vet, Dr. Tom Vice,
kindly reminded me: "She doesn't read the newspaper or
watch TV. She will adapt better
than you think." He was right!
Visit www.Heloise.com to see
photos and read Savvi's story.

BABY-SITTER NOTES
Dear Heloise: Before we used
a baby sitter, I listed important
information on paper and laminated it: Our phone numbers,
close family numbers, closest
hospital, etc. The sheet is
posted on the refrigerator
whenever we go out. I use a
dry-erase marker to note where
we will be. It wipes off and is
ready for our next night out. -Sammie E., via email
CAT CRATE
Dear Heloise: We have an outside cat I feed regularly. He is
domesticated enough to bring
in when the weather is much
colder. I got a large plastic tub
with a lid, cut a hole in the side
and placed old towels and blankets in the bottom. This is his
spot to sleep. -- Pat I., Ames,

NOT ONLY
LEADS, BUT
ALSO SIGNALS
Albert Einstein, when
asked to describe radio,
said, "You see, wire telegraph is like a very, very
long cat. You pull his
tail in New York, and
his head is meowing in
Los Angeles. And radio
operates exactly the
same way: You send signals here; they receive
them there. The only difference: There is no cat."
A bridge defender
sends a signal from his
hand and hopes it is received by his partner,
sitting over yon. But will
that information prove
useful and be acted
upon?
How should the defenders card to defeat
this three-no-trump contract after West leads the
spade king?
The auction was simple and straightforward.
North knew that everyone would admire his
lovely club suit when he
put it down in the
dummy.
East has no spade
honor, so he signals with
his three. Then, when
South ducks, hoping to
pull off the Bath
Coup, West must realize that he has to shift
at trick two, leading
the heart six if he
thinks partner has
that ace, or the diamond eight if he
hopes partner holds
that instant winner.
Given dummy's
holdings, most players would play the diamond, which works
perfectly here. East
wins with his ace and
returns a spade, establishing West's suit
while West still has
an entry in the club
ace.

BIRTHDAY GAL: Actress
Kerry Washington was
born in New York City on
this date in 1977. This birthday gal has starred as
Olivia Pope on "Scandal"
since 2012, earning a 2013
Emmy nomination for her
work. She's also appeared
on episodes of "Psych,"
"Wonderfalls" and "Boston
Legal." On the big screen,
Washington's film resume
includes roles in "Peeples,"
"Django Unchained' and
"The Last King of Scotland."
The actress has been married to NFL star Nnamdi
Asomugha since 2013.
ARIES (March 21-April
19): Ivory towers hold little
appeal. Get conversations
rolling that deal with the ordinary and you may discover the extraordinary.
Your efforts to be enticing
will pay off with a congenial
partner.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20): Create calibrated
moves. Move the thermostat up a few degrees where
a certain romantic relationship is concerned. Something lovely might happen
if you provide warmth and
comfort.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
Spend quality time with a
significant other. Sometimes all a person needs is a
hand to hold. Someone may
find you attractive and desirable and it isn't wise to
argue with a fate like that.
CANCER (June 21-July
22): Water seeks its own
level. Locate the most comfortable place within the
pecking order to better deal
with family dynamics.
Gather relatives under one
roof or get in touch with
distant loved ones.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):
Love and affection is not a
spectator sport. Show
you're a willing participant
and creative about pleasing
a romantic partner. You
and your special someone
need a break from the usual
places.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Be guided by gut reactions.
You're sensitive to subtle
shifts in surroundings and
the thoughts of loved ones.
You may find time to find
an item of lasting value or
to express tender feelings.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
Stubborn mules can be induced to budge. You might
make progress and head-

Finally, if South wins
the first trick and attacks clubs, West should
duck one round and take
note of East's discard of
the diamond 10 on the
second round. West
shifts to that suit, and a
spade through South results in a satisfying
down two.
Jeraldine Saunders
way with a certain immovable object. You can agree
to disagree, or find a tactful
way to compromise.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.
21): Anticipation isn't just a
feeling reserved for pouring
ketchup. Your inner clock
is counting down to a time
you can hook up with a certain someone. Your intuition is right on target.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Personal relationships take on a romantic
luster. Harmony is restored
once a minor spat becomes
a thing of the past. Surmount interpersonal challenges by being
understanding and forgiving.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): Recycling has come into
vogue. You know deep in
your heart that new isn't
necessarily better, but you
may still want to throw out
or replace something that's
outlived its usefulness.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18): Consenting adults may
consent in imaginative
ways this weekend. One obstacle that bars a romance
may be alleviated. You may
be inspired to succeed in a
new project.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20): A conversation might
spark a new feeling of permanence in a relationship.
With Venus in your sign,
you're more appealing and
attractive than ever. Take
advantage of someone's
good opinion.
IF JANUARY 31 IS YOUR
BIRTHDAY: Romance and
committed relationships
might take center stage in
the year ahead. Because
you're in love with the idea
of love, you might not be
able to discriminate between wishful thinking and
the real thing during the
next three to four weeks.
The period between now
and the end of March, however, is a good time to pursue new friendships,
whether for business or
pleasure, and a fabulous
time to make long-range
plans and key decisions. By
May, you may be sure
enough of a relationship or
the desire for a career
change to make a firm commitment or launch crucial
plans.

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.
PUBLIC NOTICE
The Wyoming Public Service Commission
(Commission) has given Montana-Dakota Utilities Co.
(MDU) authority pass on a wholesale gas cost increase
of $0.246 per dekatherm (Dth) to its Residential, Firm
General Service, and Small and Large Interruptible
customers, and an increase of $0.376 to its Seasonal
customers, through its Commodity Balancing Account,
effective on and after January 1, 2015.
The average Residential and Firm General
Service customers using approximately 15.6 Dth in
January 2015 may expect a monthly gas bill increase of
approximately $3.84 or 3.66%, before taxes. Actual
bills will vary with usage.
The proposed retail rate increases result in a
projected dollar-for-dollar increase in the Company’s
January 2015 total revenues of approximately $102,336
using projected sales volumes. The increases do not
change the Company’s authorized rate of return.
Under Commission Rule §§ 249 and 250 a
utility may apply to pass on to its customers known or
prospective wholesale commodity cost increases or
decreases on a dollar-for-dollar basis and subject to
public notice, opportunity for hearing and refund.
MDU’s application is on file at the
Commission’s offices in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and in the
Company’s Sheridan, Wyoming, business office, and
may be inspected by any interested person during
regular business hours.
Anyone who wants to file an intervention
petition, request for a public hearing, or a statement,
public comment or protest in this matter must file in
writing with the Commission on or before February 20,
2015. A proposed intervention or request for hearing
must set forth the grounds under which they are made
and the position and interest of the petitioner in this
proceeding.
If you want to intervene in this matter or
request a public hearing that you will attend, or want to
make a statement, a protest or a public comment, and
you require reasonable accommodation for a disability,
please contact the Commission at (307) 777-7427, or
write to the Commission at 2515 Warren Avenue, Suite
300, Cheyenne, Wyoming 82002, to make
arrangements. Communications impaired persons may
also contact the Commission by accessing Wyoming
Relay at 711. Please mention Docket No. 30013-300-GP14 in your communications.

the trigger, someone in the
FROM B1
stands screamed out,
"Knock it in the tooth!" That
was a reference to that photograph last week of Woods
at a World Cup ski race in
Italy missing his front
tooth.
On his next try, someone
else shouted, "Everybody
quiet."
Woods never lost his poise,
hit the middle of the green
and made par.
Even so, the focus shifted
quickly from the chipped
tooth to simply his chip-
ping. Woods twice chipped
with a 4-iron, opting to
bump the ball instead of loft
it. Both came up dreadfully
short. One led to bogey, the
other a double bogey when
he three-putted from 20 feet
on the fringe.
He clanked a routine chip
some 15 feet by the hole for
a bogey. He bladed one
across the green at No. 9
and chose to use his putter
to go back a slope.
Perhaps the greater indication of the state of his
game is that no one was terribly surprised by the struggle, although the chipping is
becoming a topic. Woods is
working with a new swing
consultant, trying to fashion
a swing similar to his glory
days. He says the change
means trying to get rid of
the old swing, even in his
chipping.
This could be a process.
"It's not the first time I
have gone through this. It
takes time," Woods said. "It's
just a frustrating thing
where I just need to get
through competitive
rounds. I need to get rounds
out of my belt and get a feel
for it. Eventually I start
trusting it, start shaping
shots, and then you just go
play. Don't worry about it a
whole lot."
His game was anything
but super, but the atmosphere sure was.
The attendance was estimated at 118,461, breaking
the Thursday record at the
Waste Management
Phoenix Open by just over
30,000.
Woods and the Super
Bowl in town are the reason
for that. And while so much
attention was on Woods for
the opening round, other
players benefited from the
high-charged atmosphere.
Keegan Bradley and
Masters champion Bubba
Watson each shot 65, one
shot out of the lead.
Watson hit a drive on the
17th that rolled inches by
the hole. He missed the 5foot eagle putt, but picked
up an eagle on the third
hole. There was a big crowd
for that one, for Watson
played in the group behind
Woods.
"I could feel his crowd was
really big," Watson said.
"You could feel it, the energy, even with the weather
the way it was. People still
showed up. People still had
a blast. And obviously, Tiger
created a lot of that."
Bradley could sense it, too,
even though he played on
the opposite side of the
draw. Bradley finished his
round on No. 9 and hit what
he thought was a great
approach, except that he
wasn't sure because no one
was clapping. He turned to
his caddie and asked him if
it went over the green, or
maybe even short of the
green. And then he walked
up to the green and saw it
was 10 feet away. That's
when the light came on.
"Tiger was on the second
green. No one was watching
me," Bradley said with a
laugh. "It's just amazing to
see the draw that Tiger has.
Wow, there was a lot of people."
They saw some good golf
— just not very often from
Woods.
DEFENSE: Rams up
energy in second quarter
FROM B1
Alley said the team’s focus
over the last few weeks has
been stopping quicker
guards and getting better
help-side defense. Neither
seemed to be working early
last night.
Big Horn’s defensive
struggles carried over to the
other end of the floor, as
well. It took the Rams more
than three minutes to score
their first point, a Seth Kite
free throw, and the Rebels
led 16-12 after the first quarter.
The energy shifted in the
second quarter, and a whole
knew Big Horn team
appeared to have surfaced.
The tides had turned, and
the Rams’ defense held
Riverside scoreless for the
first 4:22 of the second quarter. Big Horn took a 19-18
lead and never looked back.
Collin Powers was the
leading scorer for the Rams
with 17. Seth Kite had 15
and Colton Bates added 13.
Both Big Horn teams are
vying for top spots in the
conference, so the weekend
is just getting started. The
Rams and Lady Rams will
battle 2A Northeast opponents Moorcroft and
Sundance tonight and
tomorrow, respectively.
Tonight’s matchup with
Moorcroft will be at home.
The girls tipoff at 5:30 p.m.
with the boys immediately
following.
MEDIA: Lynch had lots to
praise, just not reporters
FROM B1
“And if you ain't mad at
me, then what y'all here for?
I ain't got nothing for y'all,
though. I told y'all that."
Lynch, who had spurned
reporters' efforts to get him
to talk at mandatory news
conferences Tuesday and
Wednesday, seemed frustrated that they were still trying.
"I'm here preparing for a
game. And y'all want to ask
me these questions, which
is understandable. I could
get down with that. But I
told y'all. I'm not about to
say nothing. ... All of my
requirements are fulfilled."
Lynch praised his teammates, his hometown of
Oakland, California, and
his Family First
Foundation. When asked
who the best player on the
Seahawks was, he said: "All
of them."
As he has all week, Lynch
stayed five minutes before
leaving.
At Media Day on Tuesday,
Lynch repeated: "I'm just
here so I don't get fined"
while talking to reporters.
On Wednesday, he replied
to all questions with: "You
know why I'm here."
Singer Katy Perry borrowed Lynch's catchphrase
during her news conference
to discuss her halftime performance.
Asked which player she
has her eye on, Perry said:
"I'm just here so I don't get
fined."
Lynch has a history of
avoiding reporters. In
November, the NFL fined
him $50,000 for violations of
the league's media policy in
addition to collecting the
$50,000 fine that was
imposed against Lynch for
violations last season. The
fine from 2013 was held in
anticipation of future cooperation from Lynch.
The Professional Football
Writers of America complained to the league about
Tuesday's session and
Lynch had been apprised of
a potential fine. A league
spokesman declined comment.
Lynch again wore a "Beast
Mode" baseball cap and told
everyone where they could
buy one. The two hats he
already wore this week have
sold out on Lynch's website,
where they're part of his
Beast Mode apparel line.
