Unregulated
food bill clears
another hurdle
CHEYENNE (AP) — A Senate
committee has endorsed a bill to
deregulate the individual sale of
raw milk, canned goods and
other foods that are considered
to be potentially dangerous.
The Senate Agriculture, State
and Public Lands and Water
Resources Committee voted 3-2
on Thursday to advance House
Bill 56, also known as the
Wyoming Food Freedom Act. The
measure goes to the Senate floor
for more debate.
The proposal would end the
state’s practice of requiring
inspections, licensing and certification of certain homemade or
homegrown products, as long as
they are single transactions
between a producer and an
“informed end consumer.”
The Wyoming Tribune Eagle
reports that it would apply to
sales at farmers’ markets and the
ability for small farmers or other
individuals to sell homegrown or
locally raised products to their
neighbors or others in the state.
Rep. Tyler Lindholm, RSundance, the lead sponsor of
the bill, said this would take food
“off of the black market” and
would legalize something that
commonly occurs throughout the
state.
He said the bill would not
apply to meat, other than poultry,
or interstate trade, so the proposal would not jeopardize the
state’s compliance with federal
regulations.

CLEARMONT — The first
official school board meeting
for new Sheridan County
School District 3 trustee Barry
Bauer was a long one as the
board, members of the administration and the district steering committee took part in an
all-day work session
Wednesday.
From facilities plans and
staffing to student data and
general government leadership training, the day served
as a catch-up session for all.
Representatives of Dale
Buckingham Architects of
Sheridan presented the completed district facilities evaluation, identifying a few projects
that will need to be added to
the district’s three-to-five year
plan.

Protecting the flock
BY HANNAH SHEELY
THE SHERIDAN PRESS
CLEARMONT — It is a landscape
that doesn’t seem to change, its domed,
herd-of-camels hills casting long shadows over dusty ground specked with
sagebrush, muddy ground specked
with sagebrush, snowy ground
specked with sagebrush.
But it does change.
That old International truck sprouting weeds next to the unnamed road
leading to the Flying U Ranch north of
Clearmont used to bump around a
neighbor’s ranch before it was tucked
away in a junk pile and later washed
away in a rain storm to its final resting place.
Ralph Foster’s house used to be
smaller and it didn’t have electricity
or running water for the first 15 of the
65 years he lived there.
And the sheep and cattle that seem
to always speck the hillsides — adding
to the illusion of a never-changing
landscape — are in constant danger of
being killed by predatory animals, a
change on the land that can lead to
thousands of dollars of lost income for
sheep and cattle ranchers who make
their living in Sheridan County.
Some changes like rain storms that
carry cars away can’t be controlled.
Some changes — like the killing of a
rancher’s livelihood — can.
That is why Foster has served for 30plus years on the Predator
Management District of Sheridan
County, a 10-member board that provides oversight for management of
predators like coyotes that feed on
sheep, calves and wildlife.
Foster recently retired from the
board, leaving the chairman position
he held for 23 years vacant. In a recent
presentation to county commissioners,
Foster detailed the history of a board
that has been around almost as long as
he has, a board that doesn’t seek the
spotlight but that would be missed if it
didn’t exist.

Legislature’s reading clerks keep lawmakers on track
CHEYENNE (AP) — Dick
Loseke sat in a leather office
chair perched above the Senate
floor, watching a contentious
debate concerning firefighters’
unions.
At 82 years old, Loseke was the
oldest person in the chamber. He
observed the lawmakers below
from a spot beside Senate
President Phil Nicholas, the
same spot he’s claimed for the
last 14 sessions.
After more than an hour, the
discussion finally finished. Time
to go to work.
Loseke is one half of the
Legislature’s reading clerk team.
They read out summaries of all
the bills, along with any amendments. Together, they possess
the most recognized voices in
the Wyoming State Capitol.
The old man reads in a weathered baritone, statesmanlike, the
sort of voice you’d expect to
hear on an old recording of a
president.
His words are too loud to speak
over. Lawmakers stop and pay
attention to Loseke, who is like a
sheepdog marshaling them in
the right direction.

FLOCK: Taking a look back after 55 years in the business
Now online...
www.DestinationSheridan.com
JUSTIN SHEELY | THE SHERIDAN PRESS
Ralph Foster looks over a herd of sheep he had sold from the Flying U Ranch in Clearmont. Mr. Foster recently retired from the Predator
Management District of Sheridan County, which was established to protect sheepmen’s livestock from coyotes.
FROM 1
There is something about retiring
that makes a person take a look back
— way back, in some cases.
When Foster decided to retire from
the Predator Management District
after 30 years of service and from
raising sheep after 55 years as a
sheepman, he began looking into the
history of the trade he worked in and
protected most of his life.
Sheep were originally raised in central Asia before spreading into
Europe and eventually coming to the
Americas with the Spaniards, Foster
said.
The first mention of sheep in
Wyoming is in the early 1880s when
“several thousand head” were “driven” from Oregon to southern
Wyoming. Foster discovered that the
trip took four months, which seems
short to him since herding sheep is
not a speedy endeavor.
Just more than a decade after the
first sheep arrived in Wyoming, the
Johnson County Cattle War occurred.
This battle is typically associated
with cattle rustling near Buffalo, but
it actually spanned eight states with
more than 120 conflicts that also
involved cattlemen killing 50,000 to
100,000 sheep because they felt the
sheepmen were infringing on their
land, Foster said.
Forty years later, the Wild West was
a bit tamer. By the late 1930s and
1940s as many as 40,000 sheep found
their home in the hills and Bighorn
Mountains of north-central Wyoming.
Local sales of sheep and wool provided a decent living for sheepmen in
Sheridan County.
••••
By the 1930s, even though sheep
numbers were thriving, sheepmen
realized they needed to band together
to deal with the predators that were
eating their livelihood. Five sheepmen formed the first predator board
in Sheridan County to pool their
resources and control predators —
mostly coyotes — with hunting and
trapping.
While predators are simply following their instincts and are crucial to
keeping wildlife numbers in balance,
when they attack sheep or calves,
ranchers lose money.
According to 2011 statistics gathered in a National Agricultural
Statistics Service survey, the most
recent information available,
Wyoming producers lost approximate-
ly 17,500 sheep and lambs to predators
that year, 32 percent of the total 55,000
lost. Coyotes accounted for 62 percent
of losses to predators and 20 percent
of total losses. It is also estimated
that sheep producers lost $6.7 million
due to sheep and lamb deaths, with
predation accounting for $2.1 million
or 31 percent of total financial losses.
Foster, himself, has lost as many as
100 sheep in one year to predators.
“If you have 400 lambs and you lose
a fourth of them, why that means a
fourth of your income,” Foster said.
“It costs you so much anyway, regardless of how many you sell, so when
you have a big loss like that it’s really
a financial burden.”
The new state statutes had a few
more requirements — the addition of
three sportsmen to each county’s
predator management district to
make a 10-man board and an increase
to a $1 per head brand inspection fee
to help fund the program — but
Foster said overall it has supported
predator management well.
••••
Although sheep numbers in
Sheridan County have dropped to
about 5,000 head, the services of the
Predator Management District and its
one full-time and one part-time trapper are still needed — for ranchers,
for rural and urban residents battling
with skunks and raccoons and for the
Game and Fish Department, which

RIVERTON (AP) — The Fremont County Coroner’s
Office has ruled the death of a 19-year-old Riverton man
involved in a one-vehicle rollover a homicide.
Clay D. Walters died Jan. 11 due to head and neck trauma
from a single-vehicle rollover with ejection south of
Riverton.
Authorities say Walters is believed to have been a passenger in a vehicle that rolled after the driver failed to negotiate a curve in the roadway. Officials said the vehicle overturned at least three times, and several passengers were
ejected, including Walters.
There were four others involved who received varying
degrees of injury.
The Riverton Ranger reports that investigators are trying to determine who was driving the vehicle. They suspect alcohol as a possible contributing factor in the crash.

Sheridan man sentenced for felony fraud charge
BY KELLI HEITSTUMAN-TOMKO
THE SHERIDAN PRESS
SHERIDAN — A Sheridan
man appeared in court
Thursday for sentencing
stemming from a felony
fraud charge filed in 2014
for the issuance of a $4,000
check that could not be
cashed due to insufficient
funds.
Stephen Raley had previously been sentenced to a
one-year split sentence for
similar fraud charges for
writing bad checks in 2011,
but he served only two
weeks of his jail time after
serious medical issues
caused his sentence to be
modified to allow him to
travel to Denver for surgery.
Raley was supposed to
have been sentenced on the
new charge last fall, but he
fled to Arizona where he
was eventually arrested.
Raley waived extradition
and was brought to the
Sheridan County Detention
Center where he has been
since being returned to
Sheridan in November. His
flight mirrors a similar
incident before he was sentenced for the original
charges, but he failed to
appear for his sentencing
and was later arrested in
Arizona.
Deputy County and
Prosecuting Attorney Darci
Phillips told Judge William
Edelman that the state had
been willing to consider a
split sentence similar to the
one handed down by Judge
John Fenn in Raley’s previous fraud cases, but after
Raley fled the area again,
the state decided he was not
a candidate for probation.
Raley had hired David
Key to teach a roping clinic
for $4,000 in 2011. Key traveled to Wyoming to teach
the clinic to approximately
25 clients who paid various
amounts from $200 to $400
to participate. Raley then
wrote Key a check for the
$4,000 the two men had
agreed upon, but Key could
not cash the check due to
insufficient funds.
Phillips said the state
would seek $1,493.10 for
Raley’s extradition and
$133, for having to do a
bank record search.
Phillips also said the state
was recommending that
Raley pay Key the $4,000
that had been part of the
rope clinic agreement.
Raley’s attorney, Angela
Long, told the court the
new fraud charge was not a
case of Raley being convicted but not learning his lesson, pointing out that the
check in the 2014 charge
had been written between
the two checks from the
original 2012 charges. She
said that in each case,
Raley had freaked out about
his sentence, citing his poor
health and post-traumatic
stress disorder that resulted
from his service with the U.
S. Marine Corps.
Long said Raley had
already paid $1,800 of the
money to Key and had the
final $2,200 to complete the
payment. She pointed out to
the court that Raley had
practiced good behavior
since 2011 and had written
no more bad checks. She
said the bigger picture was
that Raley had not engaged
in fraud for 20 years before
2011, a year which Long
described as a “perfect
storm of circumstances.”
Long told the court that
Raley suffered a heart
attack on April 7, 2011, and
the fraudulent checks for
which he was arrested were
written April 13, May 1 and
June 25 of that year. She
said Raley didn’t truly present a flight risk, but that he
made bad decisions right
before sentencing. She
asked the court to consider
another split sentence with
work release so Raley could
pay his debts. She also said
he would need medical
attention for his PTSD, for
his heart issues and for a
melanoma that would need
a biopsy.
There was some confusion on the case as the pros-
ecution was missing some
paperwork, the Raley file
having been burned when a
fire destroyed a portion of
the County Attorney’s
office in June. The case,
originally assigned to Fenn,
had been reassigned to
Edelman due to scheduling
conflicts.
Edelman opted to continue sentencing until he
could confer with Fenn to
lend the case a little more
clarity.

G&F seeking
info. on elk
poaching case
FROM STAFF REPORTS
SHERIDAN — The
Wyoming Game and Fish
Department is seeking information leading to the apprehension of those responsible for the illegal killing of
eight elk in Sheridan
County.
The elk were discovered
on a private ranch northwest of Parkman and WGFD
officials said they believe
the animals were killed in
the last month or so. Four of
the elk were bulls, three
were cows and one was a
calf. The antlers, some of
the heads and meat were
removed from the elk at the
scene; however, seven of the
eight animals had edible
portions that were left to
waste.
“The killing of these animals was very disturbing,”
Dayton Game Warden
Dustin Shorma said. “These
elk were very vulnerable as
they were on their winter
range when they were
killed. Those responsible
obviously lack the ethics
that most hunters have for
the wildlife resource.
Hopefully, someone will
come forward with information that will lead to a conviction.”
A cash reward is available
to any individual that provides information leading to
the arrest and conviction of
the person or persons
responsible for the illegal
and intentional killing of
these eight elk.
Anyone with information
regarding this wildlife violation are encouraged to call
the Stop Poaching Hotline at
(877-943-3847 or Game
Warden Dustin Shorma at

Somehow,

adventures
SHERIDAN PRESS EDITORIAL |
Public-private
partnership for
aquatics facility
the way to go
A
bout this time last year, I
was sitting around a table
with glasses of wine, a few
friends and a map. The map
was of the Bighorn Mountains
and we were starting to plan our
trek up Cloud Peak.
O
n Monday, a committee
made up of area citizens
interested in community
recreation will propose a
project for Sheridan County —
an indoor aquatics facility that
could cost between $10-12 million.
It is a big project that would
have a big impact — a good
impact.
The project became a focal
point in the community as
local groups with a hand in
recreation, primarily the
Sheridan Recreation District
and the Sheridan County
YMCA, examined the dwindling life of Kendrick Pool.
Estimates put the life of
Kendrick Pool at just a couple
of years. The obvious question that follows that realization is “What’s next?”
While many local residents
(47 percent) said in a recent
survey that they would support retiring the current pool
and replacing it with another
outdoor facility, an outdoor
pool just doesn’t make sense
in Wyoming. Pools cost a lot of
money and when it can only
be used two to three months
out of the year, the financial
viability presents a major
challenge.
In addition, none of the
groups that would be interested in a new aquatics facility
can afford to build one on
their own. So, the citizens
group, called Citizens for
Community Recreation, will
propose a solution Monday.
The project would include a
public-private partnership to
construct an indoor aquatics
facility at the YMCA. The
YMCA would then decommission its current pools and take
over the maintenance and
operation of the new community facility. The space where
the YMCA’s current pools are
located would be repurposed
and utilized for after-school
programs with a lengthy waitlist.
The project is proposed to
offer a family gathering place
including slides, a lazy river,
lap pool, locker rooms, family
changing rooms, birthday
party rooms and a lobby with
views of the pool.
The YMCA has said the
facility would be open to all
community members,
whether they are members of
the nonprofit or not. Project
planners have said the center
will offer daily passes, monthly rates, multi-day passes and
summer packages.
The individuals who worked
on the proposal have billed the
project as one that will have a
bigger impact on area residents than any other since the
Sheridan County YMCA was
founded more than 50 years
ago.
They are right; and a publicprivate partnership with resident input and buy-in is the
best way to get it done.
Curb your pessimism
B
arack Obama's tone of mild exasperation
when tutoring the public often makes his
pronouncements grating even when they
are sensible. As was his recent suggestion
that Americans, misled by media, are exaggerating the threat of terrorism.
The world might currently
seem unusually disorderly,
but it can be so without being
unusually dangerous. If we
measure danger by the risk of
violence, the world is unusually safe. For this and other
reasons, Americans should
curb their pessimism.
The Washington Post's
GEORGE
Anne Applebaum recently
reminded readers that in
WILL
three decades of terror the
|
Irish Republican Army murdered more than 2,000. And
Italy's Red Brigades committed many attacks,
killings and kidnappings. Both groups had foreign support. The Islamic State is dangerous,
but the West has faced, and surmounted, worse.
The Islamic State poses neither an existential
threat nor even a serious threat to the social
cohesion or functioning of any developed
nation.
The Obama administration has not recently
repeated its suggestion that Vladimir Putin
should find an "offramp," its evident assumption being that Putin inadvertently took a
wrong turn, with tanks, into Ukraine. But with
Russia, nuclear-armed and governed by an
angry man, dismembering a European nation,
surely the Islamic State ranks as a second-tier
problem.
And a solvable one. An Egyptian diplomat,
expressing his nation's disdain for other Arab
nations, once dismissed them as "tribes with
flags." Some of them, including Jordan and
Saudi Arabia, could go some way toward proving him wrong, by using their ample ground
forces to sweep the Islamic State off the map of
the Middle East.
Some Islamic State atrocities are comparable
to the elaborately gruesome and protracted
public executions (drawing and quartering, disembowelment, burning, beheadings, etc.) that
were popular entertainments in the London of
Shakespeare's time. It is not delusional to anticipate a day when barbarism in the Middle East
also will recede.
Worldwide, violence has been receding,
unevenly but strikingly, for centuries. Steven
Pinker, a Harvard psychologist, ascribes the
steep decline in violence to numerous factors -governments supplanting anarchy; trade supplanting plunder; rejection of "cruel and
unusual" punishments; the decline of interstate
war since 1945; the collapse of communism; the
pacifying effect of prosperity and its pursuit;
cosmopolitanism, meaning the decline of hostile parochialisms due to literacy, travel, education, popular culture and mass media.
As interstate wars declined, Pinker says, civil
wars ravaged many newly independent countries. But "civil wars tend to kill far fewer people than wars between states" and "since the
peak of the Cold War in the 1970s and '80s,
organized conflicts of all kinds ... have declined
throughout the world, and their death tolls
have declined even more precipitously."
Furthermore, there are reasons to reconsider
the conventional, and generally correct, skepticism about the efficacy of economic and other
sanctions as a response to state violence. They
can be protracted futilities, as they have been
against Cuba. But the combination of Russia's
vaulting ambitions, its ramshackle economy
and its dependence on external financial institutions makes sanctions a plausible tactic
against the "ongoing Russian incursion"
(Obama's dainty description) in Ukraine by
Putin's kleptocracy. What is the alternative?
Another antidote to pessimism is recognition
that some current disorders are nonviolent
and, on balance, desirable. With the Greek crisis, the euro, a foolish financial experiment,
might be unraveling, and with it the European
Union, an institutional architecture constructed with disregard for its social prerequisites,
including a shared political culture and manageable economic disparities.
The 2016 presidential election might resemble
the 1980 and 2004 elections in which foreign policy played a prominent role. If so, attention will
be paid to Hillary Clinton's role as secretary of
state in the "humanitarian intervention" that
reduced Libya to a failed state and an incubator
of Islamic extremist groups. In the annals of
American blunders, the Bay of Pigs may have
been even more feckless, and the invasion of
Iraq more costly, but we cannot yet calculate
the cost of teaching Iran and others, by our
role in the casual overthrow of Moammar
Gaddafi, the peril of not having nuclear
weapons.
Even so, a sense of proportion, which pessimism impedes, should prevent 2016 from
being a competition in alarmism. Pessimism,
Pinker says, may be a natural inclination:
Imagine the good things that could happen to
you today. Now imagine the bad things. Which
list is longer? The world is a dangerous place,
and can be made more so by America's
unforced errors, as in Libya. Errors can flow
from panic bred by unwarranted pessimism.
GEORGE WILl writes on politics, law and social character. Will began writing for
The Washington Post in 1974. He is a contributor for Fox News, a Pulitzer Prize
recipient for commentary, and is the author of 12 books.
There is something about this
time of year that leads to plans.

We start
Kristen Czaban
making plans
for adventure.
Already in the works are plans
for a trip to Denver, to train for a
race and to once again explore
the outdoor paradise just outside
our backdoor.
Last year, while we planned to
climb Cloud Peak, we didn’t
make it. We still managed several hikes and had a heck of a time
exploring the Cloud Peak
Wilderness. As usual, the adventure was more about the trek
than reaching the peak.
This year, we’re already scheming.
Part of the planning was born
out of the usual wintertime ants
in our pants. But, part of it also
came from a conversation that
started Thursday night.
I had just seen the movie
“Wild” the night before at
Centennial Theatres. It was part
of the film fest and I was psyched to see it. I had read the
book, loved it, and looked forward to the movie. On Thursday,
I shared my thoughts on the film
with a few of my friends.
It didn’t let me down. Sure,
both the book and the movie
focus on a woman finding herself
again after suffering the loss of
her mother. Being on the trails,
especially by yourself, lends
itself to reflection. But, the book
also talks about being on the
trail as an amateur.
As much as I love to hike and
camp, I still consider myself an
amateur. I don’t hike enough to
have boots that are broken in —
I wear trail running shoes. I
have a day pack that is wellworn but my backpacking pack
has only been used a few times.
Yet all evening Wednesday after
watching “Wild,” all day
Thursday and again on Friday, I
found my mind wandering to
shady evergreen-lined trails,
campfires and friends.
I also found myself adding hiking and outdoor adventure books
to my shopping cart on barnesandnoble.com.
It’s supposed to get chilly
again this weekend, but I’m
ready for summer temperatures
and adventures. We may not
complete all of the plans we
make, but adventure is certainly
in our future.

Learning to love on yourself, others via self-promotion
I
f you’re reading this around Feb. 14, happy Valentine’s
Day! I hope it’s filled with love and chocolate. Unless you
are chocolate-intolerant or climbing back on the diet
wagon after a few falls since Jan. 2, in which case I hope
it’s filled with yummy carrot sticks or carob chips.
Sticking with the love though. I can’t
imagine anyone is intolerant to love. But
I digress — shocker. Feb. 14 is far more
crucial than just some holiday devoted to
love. It’s important to remember because
it’s almost exactly a month until my
birthday!
If you’re new to me and unfamiliar
with my birthday obsession, welcome! I
consider my birthday an international
AMY
holiday and am a bit disappointed that it
ALBRECHT
hasn’t made mainstream calendars. Sigh.
|
Regardless, those who are in my immediate circle — OK, nearly anyone who has
spent more than a few hours with me —
are well aware of the import of March 15. Ides of March?
Bah! Caesar is just another name for a salad. March 15 is
so much more than the anniversary of my birth. It’s the
pinnacle of what I consider to be my birth season because,
really, why limit the celebration to a mere day? Insanity!
I’ve noticed that there are many who don’t share in my
enthusiasm for their special day. In fact, they disavow both
knowledge of the day and the number of years it represents. What’s up with that? Doesn’t it beat the alternative?
I introduce this shameless self-promotion of my birthday to talk about nonprofits. What? Stick with me, folks.
All will be revealed.
The nonprofits in our community do the crucial work for
those who need them most — the underprivileged, the
marginalized, the elderly, the young, the sick, the homeless. Most of their clients don’t have the microphone or
means to tout the generosity, kindness and services they
have received. That means it’s up to the nonprofit staff to
tell the stories themselves. After all, if they don’t, they
won’t receive funding to continue their good work.
Unfortunately, we’ve been raised to believe that if you
talk about yourself and how great you are, that makes you
arrogant and obnoxious. True enough at a cocktail party
or after a football game but not when it’s critical to your
survival. You nonprofit there — start hyping! Get to touting! If you can’t talk about the people you serve and the
good you do, no one can. Does it make you uncomfortable?
You need to push through that. The CVC can help. We’re
going to be having webinars and workshops this year that
will help you sing your own praises.
You wouldn’t be at your nonprofit if you didn’t believe
passionately in your cause. Focus on that passion and the
stories will start flying out of you. It’s self-promotion for
the most noble of causes — someone else’s good.
I readily admit that my blatant birthday self-promotion
is for the most selfish of causes — presents and cake. But
it works! I’m still getting cards from friends whom I
haven’t seen in years simply because I’ve permanently tattooed March 15 in their head. Nonprofits can do it too —
and the results will be much more profound than just cupcakes and cards.

Remembering the remarkable Kayla Mueller
“I find God in the suffering eyes
reflected in mine. If this is how
You are revealed to me, this is how
I will forever seek You."
— Kayla Mueller, 2011
T
he world knew too little of
Kayla Mueller, the American
aid worker just killed in captivity in Syria.
The silence was necessary: The
Islamic State savages who held
the 26-year-old Arizonan for 18
months said they would kill her
if her identity got out. And so
her family, friends, the government and (with
a few unfortunate exceptions) the
media withheld
her name and
all but a cursory description.
Since her
death was conDANA
firmed last
MILBANK
week, the news
|
has been mostly about how
she died
(almost certainly not in an allied
airstrike, as the Islamic State
claims), what else might have
been done to save her (probably
nothing), whether she had been
married off to one of her tormenters and how her parents
received photographic proof of
her death. The focus on the
macabre and the second-guessing
is a pity, because it again robs us
of a chance to know Kayla
Mueller, a young woman who represented the very best of
American idealism and faith.
Lucky for us, and too bad for
these barbarians, Kayla can still
tell her story, through the letter
she wrote to her family from captivity last spring, and earlier
writings from before her kidnapping, released by her friends and
family since her death. Her
words provide a vivid contrast
with the heartless actions of her
captors.
"By God and by your prayers I
have felt tenderly cradled in free
fall,"†she wrote in the letter to
her family last year, conveyed by
a fellow hostage who had been
released. "I have been shown in
darkness, light and have learned
that even in prison, one can be
free. I am grateful. I have come to
see that there is good in every situation, sometimes we just have
to look for it."
Now that no further harm can
come to Kayla, it can be told what
an exceptional person she was.
She joined the campus Christian
ministry at Northern Arizona
University and plunged into
social action: She volunteered
nights at a women's shelter,
protested genocide in Darfur and
started a chapter of Amnesty
International. She volunteered at
a summer camp for young
African refugees in Israel, and
she went to Israel's occupied territories to show support for the
Palestinians. She protested torture in Guantanamo Bay and she
went on a humanitarian mission
to Guatemala. In India, she
taught English to Tibetan
refugees and to poor women and
children.
"This really is my life's work, to
go where there is suffering,"†she
wrote in 2010. "I suppose, like us
all, I'm learning how to deal with
the suffering of the world inside
myself."
In 2011, she wrote: "I believe
that if we can't handle learning
about the darkest places of our
world, they will turn into the
darkest places in us." And
always, there was her faith. "I
find God in suffering," she wrote.
Around that time, she had
taken up the cause that would
ultimately take her life. Kayla
became interested in the plight of
Syrian refugees, and she went to
Turkey to help them. In†an interview with the Prescott (Arizona)
Daily Courier in May 2013,
months before she was kidnapped in Syria, she said, "When
Syrians hear I'm an American,
they ask, 'Where is the world?'
All I can do is cry with them,
because I don't know." In the
same interview, she vowed: "For
as long as I live, I will not let this
suffering be normal."
Kayla did not have long. A year
later, she was writing to her family from captivity in Syria. "I have
a lot of fight left inside of me,"
she wrote. "I am not breaking
down and I will not give in no
matter how long it takes."
It's our task as her countrymen
to carry on that fight and to pursue her tormenters to the gates of
hell. But Kayla, who taught her
captors how to make paper peace
birds, probably wouldn't have
cared for vengeance.
"The hope of our reunion is the
source of my strength," she
wrote her family. "Do not fear for
me, continue to pray as will I and
by God's will we will be together
soon."
Kayla, we will all be together
again, soon enough. Until then,
thank you for leaving this world
better than you found it.

HEALTH WATCH |
TODAY IN HISTORY |
The high
cost of
health care
FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
T
here have been many interesting and even heated discussions across the country
about the cost of health care.
Costs are rising dramatically and
health insurance coverage can be a
challenge to obtain. The Affordable
Care Act was
intended to
make health
care more financially accessible
but many people
still fall through
the cracks.
Primary care,
though more
STORMY
reasonably
priced than
FANNING
emergency
|
care, can still
fall far beyond
what many working-class citizens can afford. An initial visit to
a primary care provider (PCP)
costs around $150 and follow-up
visits average $70. Routine lab
tests that are done at least yearly,
such as cholesterol and thyroid,
can cost up to $100 per test, and
the cost of medications ranges
from $10 to $50 a month per medication.
A person with high cholesterol
could spend anywhere from $410
to $680 per year to effectively
manage their condition. If that
person is working at the federal
minimum wage of $7.25/hour,
and is fortunate enough to have
full-time work, that price tag
amounts to more than an entire
paycheck to treat that one condition. Many people have more
than one chronic health condition, which increases the cost of
lab tests and monthly medications.
The result of this disparity is
that these people do not seek routine health care. When forced to
decide between a visit to a PCP
or buying groceries for the week,
the office visit is considered
optional. Without routine PCP
visits and screening labs, conditions like high cholesterol, high
blood pressure and Type II diabetes go undetected and untreated. When untreated, these conditions cause long-term damage to
the person’s health, decreasing
life expectancy as well as quality
of life.
Fortunately, there is help available. Free and charitable clinics
around the country are able to
provide primary health care for
many chronic health problems.
Sheridan Health Center is one of
these many clinics designed to
treat and assist people in this
demographic. Free clinics not
only provide access to a PCP, but
also referral to multiple services
designed to promote health.
Sheridan Health Center has
partnered with several members
of the health care community to
provide many services that are
typically cost-prohibitive.
Patients may be eligible to have
lab tests done, medications
ordered, and X-rays taken in
addition to being able to see a
PCP as often as needed.
Screening tests, such as mammograms and colonoscopies, are
available when needed. Patients
can receive assistance with the
cost of their medication and vaccinations, and be referred for
women’s health and mental
health at a reduced price. They
gain access to various education
services for nutrition, diabetes
and fitness. They can even get
assistance with dental and eye
care. It truly is comprehensive
health care.
These clinics and their partners are dedicated to promoting
healthy living but, more importantly, they enable their patients
to take an active role in protecting their own health by eliminating the financial hurdles they
had in their way.

Health Center and a local author.

Today’s Highlight in History:
On Feb. 14, 1929, the “St.
Valentine’s Day Massacre” took
place in a Chicago garage as seven
rivals of Al Capone’s gang were
gunned down.
On this date:
In 1778, the American ship
Ranger carried the recently adopted
Stars and Stripes to a foreign port
for the first time as it arrived in
France.
In 1859, Oregon was admitted to
the Union as the 33rd state.
In 1895, Oscar Wilde’s final play,
“The Importance of Being Earnest,”
opened at the St. James’s Theatre in
London.
In 1903, the Department of
Commerce and Labor was established. (It was divided into separate
departments of Commerce and
Labor in 1913.)
In 1912, Arizona became the 48th
state of the Union as President
William Howard Taft signed a proclamation.
In 1924, the ComputingTabulating-Recording Co. of New
York was formally renamed
International Business Machines
Corp., or IBM.
In 1945, during World War II,
British and Canadian forces reached
the Rhine River in Germany.
In 1962, first lady Jacqueline
Kennedy conducted a televised tour
of the White House in a videotaped
special that was broadcast on CBS
and NBC (and several nights later on
ABC).
In 1975, Anglo-American author
P.G. Wodehouse, 93, died in
Southampton, New York.
In 1985, Cable News Network
reporter Jeremy Levin, held hostage
by extremists in Lebanon, escaped
from his captors. Whitney Houston’s
debut album, eponymously titled
“Whitney Houston,” was released by
Arista Records.
In 1989, Iran’s Ayatollah
Khomeini called on Muslims to kill
Salman Rushdie, author of “The
Satanic Verses,” a novel condemned
as blasphemous.
In 2013, Paralympic superstar
Oscar Pistorius was charged with
murdering his girlfriend, Reeva
Steenkamp, at his home in South
Africa; he was later convicted of culpable homicide and sentenced to five
years in jail.
Ten years ago: Former Lebanese
Prime Minister Rafik Hariri was
assassinated with explosives. A gas
explosion inside a Chinese mine
killed 214 people. President George
W. Bush said he would nominate
Lester M. Crawford as head of the
Food and Drug Administration, a
position Crawford had held as acting
commissioner for nearly a year. The
creators of the video-sharing website
YouTube activated its domain name,
www.youtube.com (the site uploaded
its first video the following April.)
Five years ago: The Americans
broke through the Nordic combined
barrier at Vancouver as Johnny
Spillane won the silver, the first U.S.
Olympic medal in the sport dominated since its inception by the
Europeans (Jason Lamy Chappuis of
France won the gold). Jamie
McMurray won the Daytona 500. The
Eastern Conference edged the West
141-139 in the NBA All-Star game in
Arlington, Texas. Larry Ellison’s
space-age trimaran completed a tworace sweep in the 33rd America’s
Cup. Death claimed best-selling
British author Dick Francis at age 89
and Doug Fieger, leader of the power
pop band The Knack, at age 57.
One year ago: Drawing a link
between climate change and
California’s drought, President
Barack Obama said the U.S. had to
stop thinking of water as a “zerosum” game and needed to do a better
job of figuring out how to make sure
everyone’s water needs were satisfied. An attempt by the United Auto
Workers to organize employees at a
Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga,
Tennessee, fell short in a 712-626
vote. At the Sochi Olympics, Sandro
Viletta won the super-combined
while fellow Swiss Dario Cologna
won the 15K race. In figure skating,
19-year-old Yuzuru Hanyu of Japan
claimed the men’s title. Jim Fregosi,
a former All-Star who’d won more
than 1,000 games as a manager for
four teams, died in Miami at age 71.
Puppeteer John Henson, the son of
the late Muppets creator Jim
Henson, died in New York at age 48.
Thought for Today: “To find a
man’s true character, play golf with
him.” — P.G. Wodehouse (1881-1975).

Paul married Marelyn Pettapiece in 1949

FOOD: Public safety risks
FROM 1
Several ranchers, farmers and
other members of the public testified Thursday that the government
should not be involved in dictating
what kinds of food an individual
wants to buy.
Frank Wallis, a Campbell County
resident, said many rural residents depend on being able to sell
their locally produced foods as a
way to supplement their incomes.
“I urge you all to vote for this bill
because it will be good for the
READING: Keeping personal beliefs private
rural economy of Wyoming,”
Wallis said. “And it will help small
ranchers and farmers make a living so they don’t have to take
another job.”
However, state health officials
cautioned that the proposal carries
public safety risks.
Dean Finkenbinder, consumer
health services manager with the
Wyoming Department of
Agriculture, testified that he has
concerns about the safety of foods
prepared in homes and other unlicensed areas.

On the opposite side of the
building, Rich Moore, 67, soaked
in the laughter of representatives.
It’s not an uncommon situation for the former broadcaster.
Moore is getting comfortable in
the House after three years as
reading clerk.
“I just have a weird sense of
humor and I know the speaker
from way back,” Moore said. “I
like to give him a hard time. I
got a standing ovation one
time.”
The two men have been watching and reading for a combined
17 years.
The job is part of the legislative routine but important
nonetheless. Both men read the
technical drafts of legislation
and floor amendments to ensure
lawmakers understand what
they are voting on.
“The senators and staff expect
you to do your job,” Loseke said.
“If it’s sitting up there for two
hours on one Senate file, that’s
what you do. It’s a part of your
job - sit there and try to stay
awake.”
Loseke started his work after
four years in the Navy and a
career selling insurance.
He said the job was one of his
toughest to obtain. It started
with an audition on the Senate
floor.
“They started handing me
bills, I started reading them and
I suppose they liked what they
heard,” Loseke said. “I had a lot
stronger voice back then, but
I’m still here.”
Moore avoided the audition
process, a fact his fellow reading clerk won’t let him forget.
At first glance, reading for pay
seems like an easy job. Hardly.
“When you say ‘OK, get up
there,’ they back off real fast,”
Moore said.
He works with the House
speaker, reading to up to 60 lawmakers at one time. The faster
pace of that body requires constant attention.
“There is a lot of teamwork
involved. Between the chief
clerk and the speaker, everybody knows what they have to
do,” he said. “We do a darn good
job of it. It impresses me to
know that I’m a part of the
process.”

Senate, recalling his time at the

Loseke said he values the
friendships he’s made on the
Senate floor.
“We can’t talk about what’s
going on, but just as an example, Sen. Scott, here is a big-time
rancher, and we talk ranching,”
he said.
Loseke can talk sports and
ranching all he wants with the
lawmakers. But when it comes
to legislative business, he keeps
his personal beliefs to himself.
“Sometimes you might want
to tell the senators they don’t
know what they’re talking
about,” he said. “But you just
have to sit there and pay attention.”
They have a center seat for the
state’s legislative battles. But
they remain careful to avoid
wading into the scrum.
“I follow the discussion what’s going on and who’s saying what,” Loseke said. “And
remember whether for or

SHERIDAN — It was a packed
house at Sheridan High School
last night, and after keeping the
crowd on the edge of their seats
for 32 minutes, the Broncs treated
the fans to some free basketball.
With Sheridan trailing by three
and just 15 seconds on the clock,
Dylan Daniels let the ball fly from
the left wing. When it dropped,
the place erupted. So loud, in fact,
that the clock operator couldn’t
even hear the referees whistle at
the other end of the floor.
Daniels’ three capped of a huge
comeback for Sheridan, who
quickly erased an eight-point
deficit in the final minutes to tie
it. The Broncs carried that
momentum into the overtime
period in which they controlled
the entire five minutes on their
way to a 60-54 win over Cheyenne
East.
“I’m proud of the kids for the
way they battled,” Sheridan head
coach Gale Smith said after the
game. “They hit some back shots;
came out in overtime … a lot of
times the team that comes back
and ties it has the momentum in

start. The first two quarters were
a slugfest, with both teams
answering each others’ baskets
with more baskets. The game
hung around the two-to-three
point mark for most of the half,
with Sheridan clinging to a 27-26
lead at the break.
Both teams picked up the defensive intensity in the third quarter,
and suddenly the exchanging of
baskets became a struggle for
points.
Luckily for Sheridan, Blake
Godwin’s hot shooting from last
week’s win at Gillette carried over
into last night’s game. A couple of
deep balls from the junior guard
kept Sheridan in the ballgame.
As East continued to control the
game for most of the fourth quarter, it was Godwin again who
stepped up in the clutch. Trailing
by five with a minute to go, he
sniped another from long distance
— his fifth of the game — right in

Mo’ne Davis outshines Kevin Hart at celebrity All-Star game
NEW YORK (AP) — Little League phenom
Mo’ne Davis was so impressive on a basketball court she momentarily silenced trashtalking “Wedding Ringer” star Kevin Hart.
Playing in the All-Star Celebrity Game
against opponents more than twice her age,
the 13-year-old drove past Hart, the game’s
MVP for the fourth time, with a spectacular
spin move for an easy layup in the first quarter Friday night.
“That was pretty cool,” Davis said. “I work
on it, but usually don’t do it. It was the right
time to do it.”
Hart, who like Davis is from Philadelphia,
said, “No excuses,” as he returned to the huddle shortly after her basket.
Madison Square Garden was abuzz with
stars from the NBA, WNBA and Hollywood
two nights before the NBA All-Star Game is
played Sunday. But much of the attention was
on the teenager, who got one of the loudest
ovations from the crowd when she was intro-
duced before the game.
Davis, a pitcher, shot to fame as the first girl
to win a Little League World Series game.
Only in eighth grade, Davis already plays basketball for the high school varsity team.
“It was a lot of fun, a lot of people never saw
me play basketball,” she said. “To play in the
celebrity All-Star game was pretty cool.”

just four points for the Sheridan High School
Lady Broncs last night, but none were bigger
than the two she scored with three seconds
remaining to give Sheridan a 46-44 win over
Cheyenne East.
When Sheridan traveled to East two weeks
ago, they came away with a 71-67 win over the
Lady Thunderbirds. Last night, there wasn’t
nearly as much offensive fire power.
Both teams struggled early, as sloppy play
led to a handful of turnovers and an 8-8 tie
after one quarter. East took a small lead at
halftime, and Sheridan trailed for most of the
rest of the game.
“We had kind of a flat week of practice with
a few injuries and illnesses, so I was kind concerned that we’d come out a little slow,”
Sheridan head coach Jessica Pickett said. “We
did, and we just never really hit that groove.”
They may not have hit the groove that
they’ve hit so many times this season, but
they never stopped battling. A 3-pointer by
Emily Julian and a midrange jumper by
Dylan Wright gave Sheridan a 44-42 lead with
just a minute to go.
East had a chance to tie it at the free-throw
line, but they missed the front end of a oneand-one. After the ball was batted around,
East came away with it for an easy put back
right in front of the basket.
Sheridan utilized the final
53 seconds to hold for the last
shot.
While Sheridan’s Robbi
Ryan spent most of the first
30 minutes slicing and dicing
her way to the basket, it was
her distribution of the rock
that stood out last night. So
when she passed up a gamewinning shot opportunity to
dish the ball to Myers, it all
fell into place.
Ryan found Myers wide
open on the left side of the
hoop, about 15 feet out. Myers
returned the favor by giving
Ryan her ninth assist of the
game.
“They didn’t lose their
heads,” Sheridan head coach
Jessica Pickett said. “We
drew up a couple plays, and
neither one of them worked.

apiece.
They will look to keep the streak going
Sheridan remains undefeated in the confertoday when they battle another tough oppoence with the win, sitting at 6-0 and a game up nent in Cheyenne Central. Tipoff is set for
on rival Gillette. They’re 16-1 overall and are
11:30 a.m. at Sheridan High School.

OVERTIME: Taking care of business
FROM B1
Sheridan was forced to foul, and they
fouled the right guy. East’s T.J. Olsen went
1-of-2 from the line, leaving the Broncs with
a chance to tie the game.
The entire gym expected Godwin to be
the trigger man. That’s why Smith made
sure he wasn’t. A high pick for Godwin at
the top of the key and an overplay by the
defense left Daniels wide open to Godwin’s
left. Godwin passed. Daniels stroked.
“Dylan shoots really well when he’s got a
sweat going, and he was definitely sweat-
ing, so I felt confident going to him,” Smith
said. “They overplayed, and we were able to
seal the back and get a nice flare screen.
Dylan set his feet and took a good shot.”
Godwin finished the game with 22 points,
and Daniels added 20.
The Broncs don’t have much time to celebrate, though. They’re back in action
against Cheyenne Central today at 1 p.m. at
Sheridan High School.
“I want them to have fun,” Smith said. “I
told them to enjoy this win until about 8
o’clock in the morning, and then let’s go
back to work and take care of business.”
ALL-STAR: West team coach Spike Lee
FROM B1
The Associated Press Female Athlete of
the Year finished the All-Star Game with
four points, helping the West team beat the
East 59-51. Hart had 15 points.
“She was really impressive out there,”
said WNBA star Skylar Diggins. “She definitely held her own.”
Davis was a little star struck, too. She
made sure to take a photo with Diggins
after the game before she left.
Hart announced his retirement from the
game when he received his MVP trophy.
“It’s my fourth MVP,” the comedian said.
“I can’t do no more.”
The West team was coached by ESPN personality Mike Golic and Spike Lee, who
was wearing a blue hat with orange trim in
honor of his beloved New York Knicks. Lee
directed a commercial that starred Davis.
Carmelo Anthony along with ESPN personality Mike Greenberg coached the East
team.
The game also included actors Anthony
Anderson, Common, Nick Cannon, Sarah
Silverman, Ansel Elgort, Chadwick
Boseman, Jesse Williams and Michael
Rapaport, who grew up in New York City.
Williams, who stars on Grey’s Anatomy,
injured his knee with 5 minutes left in the
game and was helped off the court and
back to the locker room.
Bollywood star Abhishek Bachchan also
played as did singer Win Butler of Arcade
Fire.
NBA Hall of Famer and New York native
Chris Mullin played as did former New
York Knicks’ star Allan Houston. Current
WNBA players Diggins, Tina Charles and
Shoni Schimmel represented the league.
Schimmel, who was the MVP of the WNBA
All-Star game this past year, tricked
Silverman — who was on the other team, to
give her the ball under the basket which
the Atlanta Dream star converted for a
layup.
She led all scorers with 17 points.
“This was awesome,” Schimmel said.
“Really had a great time playing here in
this.”
Memphis Grizzlies owner Robert Pera
also played, showing off his basketball
skills. A few years back he tried to challenge Michael Jordan to a 1-on-1 game for
charity that never developed.
Pera and Diggins finished with 13 points
each to lead the West.
This was the first time that the celebrity
game was played at an NBA arena.
Snedeker, Jones tied
for lead at Pebble Beach
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (AP) — Enjoying
the best weather Pebble Beach has to offer
is one thing. Brandt Snedeker knew he had
to take advantage of it with his golf clubs,
too.
Snedeker played bogey-free at Spyglass
Hill in abundant sunshine and warmth
Friday for a 5-under 67 to share the 36-hole
lead with Matt Jones in the AT&T Pebble
Beach National Pro-Am. Jones had a 66 at
Spyglass.
They were at 12-under 131.
Justin Hicks shot a 68 at Monterey
Peninsula and was one shot behind.
John Daly, who started the second round
one shot behind, didn’t make a birdie over
his final 11 holes at Monterey Peninsula
and shot a 72. He was six shots behind, and
has to play well Saturday to avoid missing
his 11th straight cut at this event.

Tongue River Eagles
dominate Sundance
BY MIKE DUNN
THE SHERIDAN PRESS
DAYTON — The Tongue River Eagles
and Lady Eagles made a statement last
night with huge wins over Sundance.
The Lady Eagles came out with guns
blazing. Two buckets in a row from
Eryn Aksamit, a three-pointer from
Amanda Buller, and Tongue River found
themselves with a 7-0 lead in the opening minute.
But they were far from done.
Moser’s squad began the game with a
massive 18-0 run in the first quarter,
putting the game to rest almost as soon
as it had begun. Sundance finally managed to scrape together a pair of free
throws to keep a shutout from taking
place.
The Lady Bulldogs had absolutely no
answer for anyone, especially for
Aksamit. Even as she was triple teamed
in the paint, Aksamit left the first half
with 16 points and 6 rebounds.
The second half continued in the
same fashion. Sundance’s offense looked
like a fish out of water, even when
Tongue River’s second-string players
were brought into the game midway
through the third quarter. The bench
players took up most of the time on the
court until regulation ended with a 53-27
victory.
Aksamit, who limped off the court in
the fourth quarter, put up a stellar 22point, 12-rebound game for the Lady
Eagles while shooting 8-for-10 from the
line. Buller contributed 11 points and 3
rebounds for Tongue River.
With last night’s win, the 14-5 Lady
Eagles control their own destiny in the
conference standings. A victory at
Wright on Feb 20 will seal the deal for a
2A Northeast title.
When the Tongue River boys took the
court, things were a little more interesting for at least a half.
Despite their team slowly recovering
from injuries, the Eagles couldn’t buy a
bucket in the first quarter. Tongue River
began the game missing their first five
attempts from the field. Even after
knocking down a mere 5-for-16 from the
field in the first quarter, the Eagles
defense held. Tongue River went into
the half with a 27-18 lead.
Tongue River head coach Robert
Griffin decided to put his team’s physical play to use in the second half. The
Eagles had incredible success with the
full-court press and forced 14 turnovers
in the final two quarters of regulation.
With the ball in their hands more
often than not, Tongue River woke up
offensively. As a team, Tongue River
scored 48 points in the second half
while 11 different players recorded
rebounds. The Eagles rolled to a prevailing 75-41 win
Wyatt Schumacher led the Eagles with
16 points while Cody Buller, who is still
nursing an ankle injury, scored 15.
Senior Austen Scammen was all
smiles last night after he was able to
back on the court for the first time in
several months. With a cast partially
covering his hand, Scammen contributed eight points and four rebounds
in his limited time on the court.
“It’s so great to be back,” Scammen
said after the game. “It means so much
to me to have to support of my teammates, my coaches and the crowd.”
Both the Tongue River Eagles and
Lady Eagles will take on 3A Lovell at
home today.

BORN LOSER® by Art and Chip Sansom
GARFIELD by Jim Davis
Ready for the DNA do-over
guaranteed to keep you slimmer, happier and protect you
against cancer, heart disease
and the common cold? No
test tubes required -- all the
equipment you need is in
your kitchen, closet, bedroom
and gym bag. And we're here
to tell you how to put this hot
health development to work
today.
We're talking about epigenetics. Epi-WHAT?
Epigenetics -- your epic ability to assert control over your
DNA by switching certain
genes on and silencing others. While you can't change
your basic genetic code
(DNA), you can make the best
of what you have by changing your gene expression, or
what gets turned on and what
gets turned off.
This new science is getting
plenty of attention in the
media, with headlines like
"Reprogram Your Genes" and
"How to Hack Your Own
DNA," and in scientific journals, too. There have been
more than 10,000 research
papers on epigenetics published in the past 10 years.
We're offering you six
strategies that are proven to
give your DNA a do-over. So,
let's start your genetic reboot.
Eat less saturated fat. Fatty
meat, butter and high-fat
stuff like cheese, whole milk,
ice cream and plenty of
processed foods deliver a big
dose of saturated fat that, it
turns out, switches on genes
that tell your body to store
extra fat deep in your belly.
That raises your risk for lifethreatening heart disease
and diabetes. Saturated fat
also activates genes that
increase bodywide inflammation while turning off cancer-fighting genes at the same
time.
Switch on cancer-fighting
goodness. Compounds like
sulforaphane in broccoli,
diallyl sulfide in garlic and
selenium in Brazil nuts
switch on anti-cancer genes.
Cruciferous veggies, green
tea, soy and turmeric (a
yummy spice found in curry)
all pitch in for the switch,
too.
Put on your sneakers ... or
your bathing suit. Regular
exercise affects the activity of
more than 5,000 genes -- many
involved with cooling inflammation, improving blood
sugar control, and burning
fat and sugar for fuel. This
helps explain why a daily, 30minute walk or a regular
swimming, biking or Zumba
habit helps your heart, your
blood sugar, your brain and
more!
Relax. The deep calm you
feel after meditation, deep
breathing or yoga is deepdown good for your DNA, too.
In one recent study from the
Benson-Henry Institute for
Mind/Body Medicine at
Massachusetts General
Hospital, researchers found
that this profound calm triggers changes right away in
genes that help govern immunity, inflammation, blood
sugar control and your body's
ability to burn fat and sugars
efficiently for energy. The
study found beneficial
changes for first-time and
long-time meditators alike.
Connect with friends and
loved ones. Loneliness can
alter the workings of more
than 200 genes, many
involved with inflammation
and immune responses,
University of Chicago
researchers report. One fascinating finding: People who
said they felt more alone had
extra activity in 78 genes that
boost inflammation and
reduced activity in 131 that
control inflammation and
also help fight viruses.
Switch that up by staying in
touch with family and
friends.
Pinpoint your purpose.
Happiness is good; having
meaning in your life is even
better. People in a University
of California Los Angeles
study who said they felt their
lives were meaningful, had a
better combination of lowinflammation, virus-fighting
genes switched on than those
who were merely happy. One
in four people felt their lives
had purpose, a quality you
can develop by belonging to
an organization that matters
to you or spending time
doing something you believe
contributes to your community or the larger world. A
sense of purpose and passion
doesn't just make you feel
alive, it also helps you
express your best genetic self
and that will help you extend
a happy and healthy life.

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 a teenager who went through some
emotional stuff a couple of
years ago. It was horrible. My
parents thought it was just a
phase, so I had to deal with it
myself until it got better.
I don't feel like I can communicate with my parents. If
I try, I'm afraid they'll just
downplay it again.
I feel so alone sometimes.
Even when I'm happy I still
have this feeling of sadness.
Then suddenly, I feel angry
for no reason, and I hate it.
Other times, I get so anxious
I don't know what to do. I feel
like my friends don't like me,
even though nothing is
wrong. I feel stuck.
Most people say it's because
I'm a teenager, and that's
what I try to tell myself, but
it doesn't work. I don't know
what to do. What do you
think, Abby? -- ANONYMOUS IN THE U.S.A.
DEAR ANONYMOUS: I'm
sorry that when you tried to
tell your parents you were in
pain they didn't take you seriously. While the feelings
you're having may be caused
by "raging teenage hormones," they could also be a
symptom of something more.
That's why I'm suggesting
you talk to another trusted
adult about your feelings -the parent of one of your
close friends, a counselor at
school or your pediatrician, if
you have one. It never hurts
to have a "reality check"
every once in a while, and
when you share what's going
on in your head with someone who has more life experience, it can give you a better
perspective.
DEAR ABBY: This time last
year, I read a letter from a
young woman whose live-in
boyfriend doesn't get her anything for Valentine's Day.
I have been married to my
husband for 28 years. When
we were first married, I was
often disappointed because
he was never good at getting
me gifts on holidays. Every
year I would remind him
ahead of time.
But gradually over the
years, I began to realize that
the gifts were not important.
He has been the best husband I could ask for. He
knows me better than anyone
else. He adopted my two
young girls and has been a
wonderful father to them.
Throughout the year we do
almost everything together.
He loves to shop with me,
and I buy what I want for my
birthday or whatever. When
holidays come around, we
acknowledge them to each
other and do something
together for the day if we
can.
A few years ago he was
very ill and almost died. I am
so grateful for him every day.
I couldn't ask for more. The
material gifts are unimportant. -- MARY M. IN MINNESOTA
DEAR MARY: Thank you
for an upper of a letter. You
are a woman who clearly has
her priorities straight. I told
the young woman who wrote
that letter that she'd feel less
"deprived" if she focused not
on what she ISN'T getting out
of the relationship, but more
on what she IS. You reinforced this beautifully.
Readers, on this "day of
love," I'd like you to know
that you make writing this
column a joy. I wish you all a
very happy Valentine's Day.

AN ENTRY DESTROYER
FOR THE OPTIMIST
Daniel J. Bernstein, a
highly regarded mathematician and computer programmer, said, "The most
important function of a bibliographic entry is to help
the reader obtain a copy of
the cited work."
The most important function of a bridge entry is to
help the declarer or a defender obtain at least one
extra trick.
That has been our topic
this week. To end, we have
a tough deal for declarer
and a possible chance for a
defender to be a genius. Can
you see the key plays?
South is in three no-trump,
and West leads the heart
queen.
South starts with seven
top tricks: one spade, two
hearts, two diamonds and
two clubs. He might be able
Phillip Alder
to get one more trick from
spades if they break 3-3.
Aiming instead to get four
diamond tricks is more sensible. But how should declarer handle the
diamonds?
It looks natural to cash
the king, then to play a diamond to dummy's jack. That
works fine when the suit
splits 3-2, but less well here.
Now South gets only three
diamond tricks and goes
down.
The best play for declarer
is to lead a low diamond
from his hand at trick two
and also to play low from
the dummy. When he wins
the next trick, he cashes his
diamond king, sees the split
and knows to finesse
dummy's jack.
Are you thinking that
South could cash his diamond king first, then duck a
diamond? That will work,
but he might fall to a bril-
liant ruse by West. On the
second diamond, West
should play his queen, looking like someone who
started with queen-doubleton. Declarer might carelessly win that trick and fall
to defeat.
Hints from Heloise
Dear Heloise: We have a
large extended family, and
everyone comes to visit
about two times a year.
That means lots of GROCERIES to buy. Of course,
there is always something
that I forget or that we run
out of.
I keep the receipts in one
drawer in the kitchen. This
way, I don't really need to
write out a list. I use one of
the receipts (they have the
items listed) and either
cross out what is NOT
needed or circle what we
need.
This has saved us a lot of
frustration, and whoever
has the "grocery run" takes
the list.
Love your column, and it
has helped me deal with
spills and other problems
that arise. -- Riva, Arlington, Va.
Riva, very smart, and a
sure way to know what falls
into the categories of what I
call "DON'T NEED, OR
MUST BUY" items.
However, it may not be
needed, but chocolate is always on the must-buy list! -Heloise
NO-DRIP MESS
Dear Heloise: I have a lot
of houseplants, and it takes
me some time to get to them
all. Many are in our sunroom, and others are in the
den. I use your two-minute
plan; I can get a lot of plants
watered in that time. Then I
might take a break or go for
another 120 seconds and
water the plants in the
kitchen. -- Joy L. in Baltimore
Joy, oh it's a joy to read
your joyful hint. I do something similar, but I think of
my houseplants as being in
"zones" to water. I carry a
plastic grocery bag on my
arm to put all of the dead
leaves in. A small pair of
scissors comes along, and I
can do 120 seconds of pruning at the same time.
My favorite plant is ivy. It
grows almost anywhere and
can withstand neglect, but
it perks right up when watered. I have two that are
very special: A pot or two of
ivy my mother (the original
Heloise, 1919-1977) had, plus
a cutting from one my father (Lt. Col. Marshall H.
Cruse, 1920-2006) had that is

THROW RUG FOR DOGS
Dear Heloise: Our two little dogs have a fenced-in
yard to play in. Their doggie
door gets a real workout
some days. They sit watching out the glass sliding
door, and when they see a
bird or squirrel, it's a regular fire drill! They run out
at maximum speed and
chase the squirrels, which
then go up a tree. It seems
like it's really a game. We
have a large throw rug next
to the door that's just for
them. The rug is washable,
so I put it into the washer
and dryer occasionally. -Maggie R. in Honolulu
pect to receive something
for nothing.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):
Your charming ways can
put you in the money. You
may receive proof that people trust and respect you in
the week ahead, but it
might be wise to wait until
after mid-week to put crucial plans into motion.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
The only real obstacles are
in your mind. In the week
ahead, you might hobble
yourself with unreasonable
fears. Caution is useful
until the second half of the
week, when you feel more
confident.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
Accentuate the positive.
Dwelling over past mistakes
and doubting your future
won't get you anywhere. As
this week unfolds, concentrate on the things you do
well to derive immediate
benefits.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.
21): You simply don't have
the know-how to start a new
project now. Bide your time
until you have all the facts
and figures even if you're
enthused about the
prospects for your big plan.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): The only thing to
fear is fear itself. You may
be hesitant over a new undertaking or drag your feet
about getting things started.
Things will improve by the
middle of the week and you
can get the ball rolling.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): Just because someone is
well-spoken doesn't mean
they know what they're
talking about. In the first
half of the week, you should
accept flattery, as well as
criticism, with a grain of
salt.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18): You might learn that
you can't pay your bills
with wishful thinking. In
the week to come, you
should avoid taking on new
obligations that might
threaten your long-term
holdings and security.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20): It's time for a reality
check. Both vagueness and
efforts to be non-committal
can be seen in a poor light.
Work hard during the upcoming week and be clear
as a bell about your intentions and goals.
IF FEBRUARY 15 IS
YOUR BIRTHDAY: You
may be surrounded by new
friends during the next
three to four weeks, but
could be slightly frustrated
that responsibilities and obligations prevent you from
trying out something new.
Wait until the end of May or
first week of June to start
something of importance,
and the result will prove
more satisfying. You may
receive some lucky breaks
in the year ahead, especially in August, but there's
no reason to waste any opportunity that comes your
way in May. Avoid making
significant financial transactions or purchases in
June or November.

BIRTHDAY GAL: Actress
Megan Dodds was born in
Sacramento, Calif., on this
date in 1970. This birthday
gal played the recurring
role of Christine Whitney
on "CSI: NY" and has appeared on episodes of
"White Collar," "CSI" and
"House M.D." Dodds also costarred in the 2014 TV miniseries "Houdini." On the big
screen, her work includes
"The Contract," "Urbania"
and "Ever After: A Cinderella Story."
ARIES (March 21-April
19): Get a paper towel because all your luscious
ideas could overflow. Take
your time about starting
new projects or launching
plans. Wait until late in the
week to put your creative
ideas into action.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20): Good things come to
those who wait. You might
find that your partners or
close companions are simply not in the mood to discuss changes and
challenges until after the
middle of the week.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
Put your nose to the grindstone. This week, you may
be challenged to complete
your work on time or in a
manner that makes those in
charge happy. Inspiring
movies and books keep
your spirits up.
CANCER (June 21-July
22): Don't blame yourself for
your misfortunes. Forces
beyond your control might
impact your finances in the
week ahead. You'd be wise
to work hard and to not ex-

day in 1963. This birthday
guy has appeared in such
films as "Elysium," "Star
Trek" and "Iron Man." He
played recurring roles on
TV's "Warehouse 13" and
"Dallas" and has gueststarred on episodes of
"Criminal Minds," "Crisis"
and "Elementary." Tahir
made his TV debut on an
episode of "Midnight Caller"
in 1989.
ARIES (March 21-April
19): There's no need to fix
what's not broken. Don't
complicate issues by making needless changes. A
new approach may make
you look like a go-getter,
but the original problems
may still exist.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20): Slow and steady wins
the race. You may not appear glamorous or draw
widespread acclaim. However, if you're consistent
and reliable, and in the long
run these traits will make
you a winner.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
Your biggest regrets will
come from the things you
didn't try to do. You might
escape into fantasies for a
few hours. Your significant
other or the boss might remind you of your most
pressing obligations.
CANCER (June 21-July
22): There's a difference between things that happen
"to you" and things you do
that make things rocky.
Make a conscious choice to
remain on good terms with
loved ones and avoid major
purchases.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):
Don't punish yourself just
because you're not the best
at everything you attempt.
Lofty goals and ambitions
are admirable, but you
must also be reasonable
with your expectations and
work hard.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
You can learn from your
mistakes without repeating
them. People wiser than
you might offer useful
nuggets of wisdom sifted
from years of experience.
Hold your ambitions in
check.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
Maintain your position and
don't back down. Prepare to
be precise when it comes to
business or financial matters. Hold out for the best
deal and don't be upset by
the brief grouchiness of others.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.
21): There's no sure-fire formula for approval. You may
need to test several different tactics and strategies
before you find the one that
works best for you. Take
your time and do the job
right.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): You're not a robot.
You can process and refine
technical data and be organized and precise, but try to
do so without losing the
human touch. Be sure to get
adequate rest when driven
to excel.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): You might have more to
do than you can handle. To
become more efficient,
make lists and prioritize.
Make note of your top "to
do" activities, but keep
track of your goals and
blessings.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18): You can lose ground
when you're lonely or bored
with life. However, if you
try to shake things up because you're tired of the direction your life is going,
you might shake off some
important things. Tread
carefully.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20): Wish for sunshine but
build dykes. While it's great
to remain optimistic, it's
smart to prepare for problems. Your assets are in the
hands of a trustworthy person, but it's wise to double
check.
IF FEBRUARY 16 IS
YOUR BIRTHDAY: During
the next 6-8 weeks, your
heart could be hit by one of
Cupid's arrows, but a new
relationship could also
shake you loose from one
that's more solid and secure. Since you might be
dazzled by outward appearances, wait to make crucial
decisions about your love
life and career until June,
when your judgment is
keener. Your prayers may
be answered in spades then,
and you may be able to
change conditions in your
life for the better. Keep an
eagle eye out for beneficial
connections. Mid-August
could reveal additional opportunities to improve your
life.

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.
