UW's share
of budget
CHEYENNE (AP) — Some
lawmakers are questioning
the University of Wyoming
allocation under a bill pending in the Legislature, even
as supporters say the investment is critical to the state's
future.
Both houses of the
Wyoming Legislature this
week gave preliminary
approval to a plan sending
$56 million to the university
out of a total $112.6 million
the state expects to have
available this summer from
investment income.
Of $166 million lawmakers
project to have
available in mid2016, the proposed supplemental budget
bill calls for UW
projects to claim
nearly $40 milMadden
lion.
The abrupt
decline in oil prices since
last fall has prompted the
Wyoming Legislature to
take an unusual approach to
the budget bill this year.
Members of the
Legislature's Joint
Appropriations Committee
are calling for intercepting
nearly $200 million that had
been on track for deposit
into a standing reserve
fund. That action will cover
the revenue decline and
fully fund the state's ongoing $3.5 billion, two-year
General Fund budget lawmakers approved last year.
To give themselves some
spending money after covering the shortfall, lawmakers
are taking the unusual step
in this supplemental budget
process of making more
appropriations contingent
on anticipated investment
earnings coming through in
the future.
Rep. Allen Jaggi, RLyman, is among the lawmakers expressing concern
that the state is proposing to
allocate so much of those
anticipated investment
earnings to UW.
"Of the over $300 million
that's in this budget, about a
third of it's going to UW,"
Jaggi said Thursday on the
House floor.
Rep. Mike Madden, RBuffalo, also questioned the
emphasis on UW funding. "I
can't help but wonder, is this
because we've been neglecting the university in our
budgets and are in catch-up
mode?"
House Appropriations
Committee Chairman Rep.
Steve Harshman, R-Casper,
responded that the UW projects are no surprise.

Amendment to Next Generation Science
Standards bill requires ‘unique’ standards
BY ALISA BRANTZ
THE SHERIDAN PRESS
SHERIDAN — The “Next Generation Science
Standards-2” bill (House Bill 23) passed its third
reading in the Wyoming State Senate Thursday, but
the bill which was created to remove a hindrance on
the State Board of Education’s review of new state
science standards now carries a new caveat as an
amendment was added.
The Wyoming State Senate supported the repeal of
the 2014 budget footnote that bars the BOE from considering NGSS by a near-unanimous margin of 27-3.
However, the bill was amended to require the BOE
to adopt new science standards, following a review,
that are "unique to Wyoming."
The amendment came as a surprise to many as the
bill passed its second reading on Wednesday with no
discussion.
Some are concerned forcing the board to create
standards that are unique from all other states must
mean a total abandonment of most or all accepted
science, especially with roughly 40 states reviewing
NGSS in some capacity and 11 states already having
adopted some or all of the standards.
“This seems to tie the board’s hands, once again,
by requiring it to write standards that no other state
has,” said Marguerite Herman, founder of Wyoming
for Science Education. “It also seems counter-productive to contrive to be out of step with standards
developed and utilized nationally and internationally."
Fearow
pleads guilty
to pharmacy
burglary
BY KELLI HEITSTUMAN-TOMKO
THE SHERIDAN PRESS
SHERIDAN — A local man
pleaded guilty to a felony
burglary charge Thursday
at his arraignment in 4th
Judicial District Court.
Kyle Logan Fearnow, 26,
explained to Judge William
Edelman how he had
climbed to the roof of the
Hospital Pharmacy on Main
Street in May, entered the
store through the attic,
filled a trash can with pill
bottles and then broke a
window to leave.
Fearnow was arrested for
the burglary in December
when DNA connected him to
the crime.
Fearnow had been arrested in August on charges of
possession of a controlled
substance when he called
police to his room at the
Apple Tree Inn, telling them
someone was trying to
break into his room.
Police discovered Fearnow
had an outstanding municipal warrant and arrested
him, but as Fearnow was
being booked, authorities
found nearly 400 pills in a
baggie on his person.

Thursday developments at the Legislature
CHEYENNE (AP) —
Developments at the
Wyoming Legislature on
Thursday, Feb 12, the 23rd
day of the 2015 General
Session:
BUDGET BILL: Both the
House and the Senate voted
to give preliminary
approval to the supplemental appropriations bill. The
bill calls for intercepting
nearly $200 million that
had been on track for
deposits into the state’s
Rainy Day Fund to cover a
revenue shortfall caused by
recent lower energy revenues. The bill also calls
for budgeting some funds
from returns on state
investments that haven’t
been booked yet.
SCIENCE STANDARDS:
The House received for concurrence from the Senate a
bill would allow the state
board of education to consider Next Generation
Science Standards. The
Senate amended the bill,
which already had passed
the House, to specify that
the state board of educa-
tion could consider the
standards to “develop quality science standards that
are unique to Wyoming.”
The Legislature last year
prohibited the board from
considering the standards
because some lawmakers
were concerned they concluded burning fossil fuels
causes global warming.
HEMP: The Senate
placed on the general file a
bill to allow the use of
hemp extract under medical supervision.
WINE: The Senate for the
second time voted to
approve a bill that would
increase the amount of
wine that can be shipped to
a Wyoming residence from
18 to 36 liters per year. The
bill already has passed in
the House.
CONFIDENTIALITY OF
EXECUTIONS: The Senate
for the second time voted to
approve a bill that would
specify that the identities
of people involved in carrying out executions of condemned inmates or supplying drugs or materials used
to perform executions
would be confidential. The
bill already has passed in
the House. There are no
inmates on death row in
Wyoming.
LICENSE PLATES: The
Senate gave preliminary
approval to a bill that
would exempt certain vehicles from displaying front
license plates. The bill
already has passed in
House.
HUNTING LICENSES:
The Senate gave preliminary approval to a bill that
would allow hunters who
were unable to go hunting
as scheduled to be able to
use their tags the following
year provided they gave
notice to the Wyoming
Game and Fish Department
before the first day of the
scheduled hunt.
LICENSE PLATES: The
Senate placed on the general file a bill that would
allow the issuance of special license plates for
enrolled members of the
Northern Arapaho and
Eastern Shoshone tribes.

Boehner says Obama military force
proposal needs toughening
WASHINGTON (AP) — Congressional
Republicans vowed Thursday to toughen
President Barack Obama’s day-old legislation to authorize military force
against Islamic State fighters, and
House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi
warned, “It’s going to be hard” to find
common ground.
Nothing underscored the yawning
divide between the two parties more
than Obama’s request to bar “enduring
offensive combat operations” from the
struggle against terrorists who have
seized territory in Syria and Iraq and
beheaded hostages.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio,
said disapprovingly that Obama’s proposal would “tie his hands even further”
than current law.
But Pelosi, recalling the long, difficult
war in Iraq, said the president “has to be
commended” for proposing to limit his
own power.
Obama is seeking a three-year authorization for the use of force against the
Islamic State militants or any successor
groups, without regard to international
boundaries.
His proposal would leave in place 2001
legislation approving military action
against al-Qaida following the terror
attacks of 9/11.
At the same time, the president would
repeal legislation passed in 2002 in the
run-up to the invasion of Iraq. As for
ground combat operations, Obama says
he does want flexibility allowing rescue
missions, intelligence collection and the
use of special operations forces in possible military action against Islamic State
leaders.
Failure to pass any legislation would
mark a significant political defeat for
Obama, with unpredictable consequences overseas at a time of expansive
terrorist threats, a confrontation
between the West and Russia over
Ukraine and international negotiations
with Iran over its nuclear program.
Boehner was among several
Republicans who said the president’s
plan wasn’t up to the job of defeating
Islamic State forces.
“I want to give our military commanders the flexibility and the authority that
they need to defeat our enemies,” he
said. “And that’s exactly what
Republicans will make the case for as we
move through rigorous hearings and
oversight on this issue.”

Keystone veto: Can Obama, GOP
compromise on anything?
WASHINGTON (AP) — A looming veto by
President Barack Obama of a Republicanchampioned bill foreshadows a key question for the White House: whether the president and Republicans can find areas to
work together, even as Obama strikes down
many of their top priorities.
Since Republicans won full control of
Congress three months ago, Obama has
issued a flurry of veto threats to
Republican bills. Obama hasn’t had to
make good on those threats, but now a bill
forcing approval of the Keystone XL
pipeline is headed to his desk.
Although Obama’s intentions to reject the
Keystone bill are well known, the veto nevertheless marks a turning point in Obama’s
presidency, as he braces to fend off an
onslaught of GOP attempts to reverse
actions he has taken.
“This upcoming veto could serve to crystalize the situation on Capitol Hill,” said
Jim Manley, a former top adviser to Senate
Democratic leader Harry Reid. “Either
Republicans are going to have to figure out
a way to compromise, or they’re not going
to be able to get anything done the next two
years.”
That’s critical, Manley and other
Democrats said, because Republicans eyeing the 2016 elections need to show they
can govern successfully when in power.
The Keystone bill, passed by the House
on Wednesday on a 270-152 vote, capped
weeks of debate on an infrastructure project that Republicans declared their top priority after they took control of Congress. A
group of 24 Republican governors wrote to
Obama on Thursday urging him not to veto
the bill.
Although it’s been six years since the oil
pipeline was proposed, Obama has said the
U.S. is still determining whether it’s in the
national interest. He vowed to veto any
attempts by lawmakers to usurp his authority to make the call.
Republicans, emboldened after having
passed a bill they never could get through a
Democratic-run Senate, planned a triumphant signing ceremony at the Capitol
on Friday. Yet GOP leaders were expected
to wait to send the bill to the White House
until after lawmakers return from their
recess later this month.
That way, when Obama vetoes the bill,
Republicans will be on hand to blast the
president for nixing a project they say will
spur jobs and economic growth.
“The more public attention it gets, the
better,” said Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., a
staunch Keystone supporter.
White House officials haven’t yet decided
whether Obama will veto the bill in private
and announce it in a simple statement, or
whether he’ll do it publicly in grander fashion, a move that would show defiance
against Republican attempts to undercut
him. During his administration, President
Bill Clinton took that approach when he
vetoed a tax-cut bill in the Rose Garden,
serenaded by a brass band.
“For us, this is not filled with a lot of
drama or anticipation because the president’s views on this are well known,”
White House press secretary Josh Earnest
said in an interview. “We’re mostly interested in not letting these areas of disagreement become obstacles for working together with Congress on other issues” such as
trade, tax reform and a war powers resolution.
Republicans too seemed eager not to let
their Keystone poison opportunities to cut
deals with the president in other areas.

Fairgrounds Association adding 8th member to board
BY HANNAH SHEELY
THE SHERIDAN PRESS
SHERIDAN — The Sheridan
County Fairgrounds Association
decided Thursday to add one more
member to its board.
The board’s bylaws allow it to consist of five to nine members, board
Chairman Steve Eliason said. As
chairman, he is allowed to propose
changes to the number of members
to the Board of County
Commissioners.
No vote was required for Eliason
to recommend the additional board
member to commissioners, but he
wanted to solicit the opinion of the
fair board before doing so.
Once Eliason tells the county commissioners that the fairgrounds
association would like to add a
member, they will advertise for the
new position, receive resumes and
conduct interviews along with
Eliason. A new board member
would possibly visit a meeting, and
current board members would
make a recommendation to the
county commissioners on whether
or not they felt a candidate would be
a good fit.
The county commissioners will
make the final decision on who to
appoint to the fairgrounds association based on the recommendation
of the board.
For nearly three years, the fair-
grounds association has maintained
seven members. The number has
worked well, Eliason said, but he
proposed adding another member —
for a total of eight — to increase
diversity and input, to better assure
a quorum for meetings and to proactively prepare for the departure of
any of the current board’s members.
‘...It’s more of a proactive
approach to try to ensure that
we conduct business of the board
of trustees in a proper manner...’
Steve Eliason
Chairman, Fairgrounds Association Board
“Typically we try to advertise and
get board members, and sometimes
that takes a long time and it can
affect our meetings if we don’t have
a quorum,” Eliason said. “By just
going up to an eighth board member, it’s more of a proactive
approach to try to ensure that we
conduct the business of the board of
trustees in a proper manner, and it
also reserves us with extra people to
be there for us when we need them,
to give us new ideas and keep the
board running smoothly.”
Board members Brenda Williams,
Brendon Kerns and Stan Peddicord
all spoke in favor of the change.
In other business, the fairgrounds
association:
• elected Williams to continue in
her role as secretary/treasurer on
the board.
• reviewed proposed revisions to
its bylaws that will change the term
length of members from five to
three years among other minor
housekeeping items. The bylaws
will be voted on and signed at the
March meeting of the board.
• heard from Dave Engels with
EnTech Engineering, Inc., on the
progress of the upgrades to the fairgrounds water system. Engels said
the water lines were all in the
ground. A pressure test revealed a
small leak that will need to be fixed,
but otherwise the project should
reach substantial completion in two
weeks. The improved fill station on
the north end of the grandstands
should be finished next week,
Engels said.
• heard from Bill Goodman with
TSP, Inc., about upgrades to the
Exhibit Hall. Goodman said the
plumbing is finished, the flooring in
the serving area is mostly done and
some work remains on the ceilings
and plumbing fixtures. The project
will be substantially complete by
Feb. 26 and completely finished by
March 5.

Woman sentenced in 2014
Fremont County killing
LANDER (AP) — A judge in Fremont
County has sentenced a woman to 20 to 25
years in prison for her role in the death of
a man who was beaten to death with claw
hammer.
Delight Estelle Sunrhodes, of Arapahoe,
had pleaded guilty to being accessory
before the fact to second-degree murder.
The Riverton Ranger reports that
Sunrhodes was sentenced Thursday by
state District Judge Norman E. Young in
Lander.
She is one of three people originally
charged in the March 2013 death of
Richard Longsoldier.
George Jr. Littlethunder III, of Arapahoe,
pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in
December. He has yet to be sentenced.
Charges against a third man were dismissed.
Northern Arapaho tribe’s ACA
suit advances in federal court
CASPER (AP) — A Wyoming tribe has
asked a federal judge to block a rule under
the federal health care law that the tribe
says could cause Native Americans to pay
more for insurance or lose health care benefits.
Northern Arapaho leaders take issue
with proposed IRS interpretation of a mandate for large employers to provide health
care coverage under the Affordable Care
Act.
The Casper Star-Tribune reports that the
tribe says it could face more than $1.5 million in tax penalties if its business entities,
including Wind River Casino, do not offer
employer-sponsored insurance.
Federal government attorneys say the
rule-making is based on promoting employer-sponsored health coverage under
President Barack Obama’s ACA law.
U.S. District Judge Scott W. Skavdahl in
Casper says he will issue a decision in com-
ing weeks.
Search continues for missing
girl in Johnson County
GILLETTE (AP) — Searchers have yet to
find a missing 4-year-old girl who fell
through the ice on the Powder River on
Sunday in northern Wyoming.
Johnson County Sheriff Steve Kozisek
says searchers are using boats, drones, a
helicopter and dogs.
The search was suspended temporarily
late Wednesday afternoon to wait for better
conditions.
Kozisek tells the Gillette News Record
that Robert Boshaw and his daughter,
Chevell, were out for an evening walk
Sunday when they fell through the ice.
Boshaw was helped out of the river by a
sheriff ’s deputy and a state trooper and
had to be physically restrain from going
back into the river after his daughter.
The sheriff says there’s nothing suspicious about the incident, other than it was
just a tragedy.
Wyoming House passes
amended firing squad bill
CHEYENNE (AP) — The Wyoming House
of Representatives has passed a bill that
would make firing squads the alternative
form of execution in the state.
The Wyoming Tribune Eagle reports the
House passed an amended version of the
bill Thursday that would require death row
inmates to be given anesthesia and rendered unconscious before being shot.
The amended bill is headed for a vote in
the Senate next week.
Wyoming’s primary method of execution
is lethal injection, but drugs are increasingly in short supply nationwide. The Joint
Judiciary Interim Committee sponsored
the bill because the state’s current alternative is lethal gas, but the state doesn’t have
a working gas chamber.

Pacemakers. It’s the seduction of a
Pacemaker that affirms a career
choice.
Many moons ago, say 1976, I wrote a column about
my employer, Lander Journal publisher Bill Sniffin,
taking on a young lady in an indoor tennis match.
The Billie Jean King-Bobby Riggs made-for-television tennis event in the Astrodome was still fresh.
So this was a “battle of the sexes” on a much more
modest level. Sniffin played regularly on an indoor
gym basketball court, not unlike what is happening
here in Sheridan with the local tennis association
and long winters. The young lady, a nurse whose
name escapes me, thumped Bill in straight sets; he
was a good sport about it and that was that. There
was a lively crowd that night and partisan cheering,
some of it downright sexist. I wrote of it with much
whimsy and some judge, somewhere, thought it the
best of the bunch and my name appeared on a
Pacemaker. I have it somewhere. In a box. Maybe in
the garage. Meaningful still.
• The Press’ managing editor, Kristen Czaban, and
I were in Cheyenne earlier this week with the
Wyoming Supreme Court and our case with the
school district. On the return, I decided to fill the
tank in Wheatland and upon exiting, was stricken
with a hearty dose of sentiment. There was a side
trip forthcoming, I told Kristen; a quick tour of
Wheatland. I was editor and general manager of the
Platte County Record Times, my first opportunity at
“running a newspaper.” Our son William was born
there: 8 minutes after 8 a.m., in 1980, in 8 county
Wyoming. (He wore 8 often while growing up playing baseball and soccer.) The R-T was recognized as
the best community weekly newspaper in the state
in 1980, receiving the Hanway Award. Friends we
made from those days are still around and communicating. The side trip Wednesday included two red
lights. Back when the highway department put in
the first traffic signal at the main intersection
downtown, during the Missouri Basin power plant
boom, it was announced with fanfare how it was the
only stop light between Cheyenne and Casper.
(Douglas’ boom was still in the future.) We drove
past the then-new Record Times building that was
built during those years. We passed by a recreation
center that the R-T championed, a first experience
of how an engaged local newspaper can affect a
community’s infrastructure and identity. And we
drove past the first home Susan and I owned,
pulling around twice for a photo. It was the house
where Will took his first steps in the front yard,
where I planted 40 tomato plants in the backyard
one spring. (I thought you needed a lot of plants to
yield a lot of tomatoes. I haven’t planted tomatoes
since.) I told Kristen, too, how the Safeway store
there was used as a recruiting tool for attracting college grads to relocate to Wheatland. Really.
Wheatland didn’t have the Bighorns, Sheridan
College, local brew pubs or the WYO Theater. We
had a new Safeway. She looked incredulous.
The house is a different color these days and still
neat, trim. (And close to the Safeway.)
The town and the house are touchstones in a life,
so the saying goes. A recommendation: indulge
yourself, if you have the chance. Pull off a highway,
take 10 minutes and revisit and recharge with some
sentimental therapy from a time and place that are
familiar. A Valentine for yourself.

“We hope other probate judges will look at this and see

Crusaders and appeasers
is secretary of defense says "the
world is exploding all over." His
attorney general says that the
threat of terror "keeps me up at
night." The world bears them out. On
Tuesday, American hostage Kayla
Mueller is confirmed dead. On
Wednesday, the U.S. evacuates its
embassy in Yemen, cited by President
Obama last September as an American
success in fighting terrorism.
Yet Obama's reaction to, shall we
say, turmoil abroad
has been one of
alarming lassitude
and passivity.
Not to worry,
says his national
security adviser:

current chaos has
yet to achieve the
level of the most devastating conflict
in human history. Indeed, insists the
president, the real source of our
metastasizing anxiety is ... the news
media.
Russia pushes deep into eastern
Ukraine. The Islamic State burns to
death a Jordanian pilot. Iran extends
its hegemony over four Arab capitals
— Beirut, Damascus, Baghdad and
now Sanaa.
And America watches. Obama calls
the policy "strategic patience." That's a
synonym for "inaction," made to sound
profoundly "strategic."
Take Russia. The only news out of
Obama's one-hour press conference
with Angela Merkel this week was that
he still can't make up his mind
whether to supply Ukraine with defensive weapons. The Russians have sent
in T-80 tanks and Grad rocket launchers. We've sent in humanitarian aid
that includes blankets, MREs and psy-

chological counselors.
How complementary: The counselors
do grief therapy for those on the
receiving end of the T-80 tank fire. "I
think the Ukrainian people can feel
confident that we have stood by them,"
said Obama at the news conference.
Indeed. And don't forget the blankets.
America was once the arsenal of
democracy, notes Elliott Abrams. We
are now its linen closet.
Why no anti-tank and other defensive weapons? Because we are afraid
that arming the victim of aggression
will anger the aggressor.
Such on-the-ground appeasement
goes well with the linguistic appeasement whereby Obama dares not call
radical Islam by name. And whereby
both the White House and State
Department spend much of a day
insisting that the attack on the kosher
grocery in Paris had nothing to do
with Jews. It was just, as the president
said, someone "randomly shoot[ing] a
bunch of folks in a deli." (By the end of
the day, the administration backed off
this idiocy. By tweet.)
This passivity — strategic, syntactical, ideological — is more than just a
reaction to the perceived overreach of
the Bush years. Or a fear of failure. Or
bowing to the domestic left. It is, above
all, rooted in Obama's deep belief that
we — America, Christians, the West —
lack the moral authority to engage, to
project, i.e., to lead.
Before we condemn the atrocities of
others, intoned Obama at the National
Prayer Breakfast, we shouldn't "get on
our high horse." We should acknowledge having authored the Crusades,
the Inquisition, slavery, etc. "in the
name of Christ."
In a rare rhetorical feat, Obama
managed to combine the banal and the
repulsive. After all, is it really a revelation that all religions have transgressed, that man is fallen? To the adolescent Columbia undergrad, that's a
profundity. To a roomful of faith leaders, that's an insult to one's intelligence.
And in deeply bad taste. A coalition
POW is burned alive and the reaction
of the alliance leader barely 48 hours
later is essentially: "Hey, but what
about Joan of Arc?"
Obama's Christians-have-sinned dismissal of the West's moral standing is
not new, however. It is just a reprise of
the theme of his post-inauguration
2009 confessional world tour. From
Strasbourg to Cairo and the U.N.
General Assembly, he indicted his own
country, as I chronicled at the time,
"for arrogance, for dismissiveness and
derisiveness (toward Europe), for maltreatment of natives, for torture, for
Hiroshima, for Guantanamo, for unilateralism, and for insufficient respect
for the Muslim world."
The purpose and the effect of such
an indictment is to undermine any
moral claim to American world leadership. The line between the Washington
prayer breakfast and the Ukrainian
grief counselors is direct and causal.
Once you've discounted your own
moral authority, once you've undermined your own country's moral selfconfidence, you cannot lead.
If, during the very week Islamic
supremacists achieve "peak barbarism" with the immolation of a helpless prisoner, you cannot take them on
without apologizing for sins committed a thousand years ago, you have prepared the ground for strategic paralysis.
All that's left is to call it strategic
patience.

TIPPED OVER |
New York Times media columnist
David Carr dies at age 58
NEW YORK (AP) — Media columnist David Carr,
who wrote the Media Equation column for The
New York Times and penned a memoir about his
fight with drug addiction, collapsed at his office
and died on Thursday. He was 58.
Just hours before his death he had moderated a
“Times Talks” conversation with Edward
Snowden, director Laura Poitras and journalist
Glenn Greenwald about the documentary
“Citizenfour,” which chronicles Snowden’s leak of
National Security Agency documents. Carr,
engaged as always, drew them out with pointed
questions and wry observations to speak candidly
about the film.
The Times’ publisher, Arthur Ochs Sulzberger
Jr., said Carr had “formidable talent” and was
“one of the most gifted journalists who has ever
worked at The New York Times.” He called him
“an indispensable guide to modern media.”
Executive Editor Dean Baquet also heaped praise
on Carr and said he was special.
“He was the finest media reporter of his generation, a remarkable and funny man who was one of
the leaders of our newsroom,” Baquet told Carr’s
colleagues in an email. “He was our biggest champion, and his unending passion for journalism and
for truth will be missed by his family at The
Times, by his readers around the world, and by
people who love journalism.”
Carr, who grew up in Minnesota, joined the
Times in 2002 as a business reporter, covering magazine publishing. His Media Equation column
appeared in the Monday business section. It
focused on issues of media in relation to business,
culture and government, said the Times, which
confirmed his death.
Carr, who lived in Montclair, New Jersey, with
his wife and their daughter and had two other
daughters, also wrote “The Night of the Gun,” a
2008 memoir about addiction and recovery.
The book, published by Simon & Schuster, traces
Carr’s rise from cocaine addict to single dad raising twin girls to sobered-up media columnist for
the Times.
Carr said he wrote a book proposal “on a dare to
myself ” in two days. After an agent sold the idea,
Carr ended up interviewing about 60 people and
working on the book for three years. He took the
transcribed interviews, numerous documents and
pictures to his family’s cabin in the Adirondacks,
where he wrote the book.
Comedian and actor Tom Arnold, who started his
standup career in Minneapolis, was pals with Carr
on the city’s party circuit in the 1980s and is featured in the book. In a 2008 interview, Arnold
called Carr’s story redemptive.
“He did some outrageous things, and he did some
horrible things, and yet that’s not who he is. ... But
that’s what drugs will do to you,” Arnold said. “He
survived, and people can survive.”
In the book, Carr didn’t flinch from describing
his arrests (including one for punching a taxi driver), his trips to rehab (five times) and his bout with
Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic
system.
Carr’s rise in journalism paralleled his recovery
from drug addiction. After stints helming the Twin
Cities Reader, a Minneapolis-based alternative
weekly, and the Washington City Paper, an alternative weekly in D.C., Carr went on to gigs writing
for Inside.com, an online media news website cofounded by Spy magazine co-founder Kurt
Andersen, and New York and The Atlantic
Monthly magazines before landing at The New
York Times.
“I’ve always thought it (the Times) was a magnificent thing to read and look at,” Carr once said. “I
just never pictured the likes of me working here.”

In 1960, France exploded its
first atomic bomb in the
Sahara Desert.
In 1965, during the
Vietnam War, President
Lyndon B. Johnson authorized Operation Rolling
Thunder, an extended bombing campaign against the
North Vietnamese.
In 1975, a late-night arson
fire set by a disgruntled custodian broke out on the 11th
floor of the north tower of
New York’s World Trade
Center; the blaze spread to six
floors, but caused no direct
casualties.
In 1980, the 13th Winter
Olympics opened in Lake

In 1988, the 15th Winter
Olympics opened in Calgary,
Alberta, Canada.
In 1991, during Operation

that had been identified as a
military command center;
Iraqi officials said 500 civilians were killed.

in Doha, Qatar, as part of his
continuing effort to repair
strained U.S. relations with
the world’s Muslims. Hannah

moguls for first U.S. gold
medal at the Olympic Games
in Vancouver; Apolo Anton
Ohno won the silver medal in
the short-track 1,500-meter
speedskating final, to tie
Bonnie Blair as the most decorated U.S. Winter Olympian.
One year ago: Comcast
Corp. agreed to buy Time
Warner Cable Inc. for $45.2
billion in stock (the deal is
under regulatory review).
Justyna Kowalczyk of Poland
dominated her favorite event
at the Sochi Olympics, winning the women’s cross-country 10-kilometer classical race
despite skiing with a fractured foot; Japanese figure
skater Yuzuru Hanyu won the
men’s short program on a
night that four-time Olympic
medalist Evgeni Plushenko
retired from competitive skating.

BURGLARY: DNA connected Fearnow to pharmacy theft
FROM 1
Police searched Fearnow’s hotel room
on a warrant and found approximately
6,000 pills, including oxycodone, morphine and other opiates.
More than 13,000 narcotic pills had
been stolen from the pharmacy, and
Fearnow told the judge in a previous
hearing that the pills in his room had
come from the pharmacy burglary and
that he had taken about 7,000 of those
pills between the burglary in May and
his arrest in August as he sat in his room
“taking pills all day.”
After finding the pills in Fearnow’s
room, police took his DNA to see if it
could be matched to evidence in the
Hospital Pharmacy burglary.
Fearnow’s guilty plea came as part of a
plea agreement. The state recommended
two to four years in prison to be served
consecutively to a five to nine year sentence from an earlier plea agreement for
possession of a controlled substance.
Fearnow is also facing two concurrent
six-month sentences for misdemeanor
charges of malicious destruction. The
misdemeanor sentences were part of a
package plea arrangement.
Fearnow has been incarcerated at the
Sheridan County Detention Center since
his arrest in August.

FUNDING: Supplemental focuses on things not funded
FROM 1
"All these UW things have been teed up for years, and now
they're finally coming to fruition," Harshman said. He said
many of the projects offer matching funds for state dollars
from outside sources.
Chris Boswell, UW vice president, said Thursday that the
state's proposed $20 million investment in construction of the
High Altitude Training Center at UW this year would be
matched with $24 million in private funds.
He said another $20 million for unconventional oil and gas
research would free up a $20 million private match. Other
smaller UW projects also would carry matching funds, he said.
Boswell, a registered lobbyist for UW during legislative sessions, filed a report in February 2014 with the Wyoming
Secretary of State's Office reporting the expenditure of over
$18,000, nearly all of it to provide legislators with meals and
tickets for sporting events. He has yet to file a report this year.
Senate President Phil Nicholas, R-Laramie, said Friday that
he's listening to the criticism about the emphasis on UW funding. However, he said people have to recognize that lawmakers
are working on a supplemental budget that focuses on things
that aren't already funded.
"The university is the center where much of the talent for all
of our future workforce goes through and is developed,"
Nicholas said. "It's where much of the job and intellectual
development occurs for our future."
Nicholas said the state's development in recent years of the
School of Energy Resources has attracted support from the
energy industry and is producing graduates ready to land top
jobs. He said the state now needs to turn its attention to supporting science and engineering at UW, areas that will likewise
attract industry support and support the state's economy.
UW President Richard McGinity was at the state Capitol on
Thursday monitoring progress of the budget bill through both
houses.
"The university has a particularly important place in the
state in terms of its needing to be a driver of the economy, and
also preparing the young folks to compete in an increasingly
competitive world," McGinity said.
"The plain fact of the matter is that the facilities for most of
the foundational sciences at the university are old and obsolete," McGinity said. "For the benefit of the state and the students, we have to improve those."

Terry was charged with one count of
aggravated homicide with a vehicle and
one count of DUI with bodily injury. Both
charges are felonies. She was also charged
with driving without compulsory automobile insurance, a misdemeanor, but the
charge was dropped when it was discovered
that the car was covered by Progressive
insurance. After dropping the charge, the
state discovered that Terry was exempt
from the insurance. County Attorney Matt
Redle informed the court of the fact, but
the charge was not discussed any further.
Terry had originally pleaded not guilty to
the charges against her, but, in conjunction
with a plea deal, she changed her plea Dec.
18 to guilty.
The deal reached by the attorneys and the
Hurst family recommended a sentence of
eight to 12 years in a penitentiary for the
count of aggravated homicide with a vehicle and six to 10 years in a penitentiary for
the count of DUI with bodily injury. Redle
further recommended to the court that the
second sentence be suspended in favor of 10
years of supervised probation to be served
consecutively to the first sentence and to
commence when Terry is released from
parole.
Restitution was also recommended, with
$17,000 going to the division of victim’s
services and $170,000 going to Sara Hurst
for medical expenses that her insurance
will no longer pay.
Redle told the court Terry’s pre-sentence
investigation showed a long history of
abuse of alcohol and mood-altering drugs.
Redle also noted that Terry has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
The Hurst family had been consulted
about the plea deal, and Redle said it had
been the express wish of the family that
Sara Hurst not be made to appear as a witness. He told the court that each family in
such a position reaches an understanding
that no sentence can bring back a loved
one, but that the Hurst family hoped that a
punishment could be offered that would be
therapeutic to Terry. Redle said that Hurst
had indicated she felt the sentence offered
in the plea met that hope.
Terry’s attorney, Erin Wardell, told the
court that Terry was deeply remorseful for
what she had done and that, as the effects
of the opiates to which Terry was addicted
began to wear off, it was more and more
apparent to Terry what she’d done.
Terry addressed the court briefly, telling
both the Hurst family and her own family
that she felt the need to respectfully apologize.
Edelman said the eight to 20 years is
meant to give the in-prison programs time
to work and to give Terry time to complete
whatever programs were necessary to deal
with her addiction and to facilitate her
recovery.
He told Terry that during parole and probation she was to use only one pharmacy
and any prescriptions she was given outside of emergencies were to be approved by
probation and parole officers before being
filled. As a condition of both parole and
probation, Terry is not to take opiates or
benzodiazepines.
Edelman also gave Terry the $2,000 minimum fine for her charges and ordered her
to pay a restitution of $187,940.12.
Terry was given credit for the 258 days
she has been incarcerated since her arrest
in June.

last weekend and delivered a
letter in support of HB23 signed
by more than 1,200 parents and

In addition to Herman, others
testifying at the Senate
Education Committee in support of HB23 included
Superintendent of Public
Instruction Jillian Balow, HB23
sponsor Rep. John Patton, RSheridan, Chesie Lee of the
Wyoming Association of
Churches, Natrona County
Teachers Association President
Doreen McGlade, Teton County
School District Trustee Kate
Mead and Wyoming School
Boards Association Director
Brian Farmer.
“The Senate muddied the
waters with its amendment to
require new standards to be
‘unique to Wyoming,’” John
Friedrich, Senior Campaigner
for Climate Parents said. “After
all, the laws of physics, chemistry and biology are the same
in Wyoming as everywhere else.
The restrictive amendment
should be removed so Gov.
(Matt) Mead is sent a clean bill
that eliminates all forms of
political interference from the
process of choosing the best science standards available for
Wyoming students."
Since this amendment was
added in the Senate, the bill will
now be sent back to the House
for concurrence consideration.
The legislative session will
not convene today or Monday
due to the President’s Day
recess.
The Senate and House
Education Committees are
scheduled to meet Wednesday.
The HEC is scheduled to dis-
cuss the School Facilities bill
(Senate File 57ENG), the School
Athletic Safety bill (SF98ENG)
and the Veterans In-State
Tuition bill (SF101ENG).
Other progress made on
education bills this week:
• On Thursday, the Development of
Education Standards bill (HB73ENG)
passed second reading in the Senate,
with an amendment that would
change the mandatory review period
for Wyoming education program
standards from every 10 years to
eight years; it is currently five years.
• On Thursday, the Board of
Cooperative Educational Services
Meetings bill (HB86) passed second
reading in the Senate.
• On Wednesday, after much debate
the Education-School Safety and
Security bill (HB144) narrowly passed
third reading in the House 31-29. It
will now be sent to the Senate for
consideration.
• On Wednesday, the Education-State
Authorization Reciprocity Agreement
bill (HB10ENG) passed third reading
in the Senate.
• On Wednesday, the Education
Administration bill (SF10) passed out
of the House Education Committee.
• On Monday, the School Finance-Mill
Levy Rebate bill (SF20) passed out of
the House Education Committee.
• On Monday, the Distance Education
Task Force bill (HB11) passed third
reading in the House, and has now
moved to the Senate for consideration.

FBI examining 3 slain in NC; family says it was hate crime
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Muslim
groups planned to take their
demands for a federal hate-crime
investigation of three young
Muslims slain in North Carolina
to the White House on Friday.
The groups said on social
media that they would hold
prayers in front of the White
House on the Muslim Sabbath,
hours after the FBI’s North
Carolina office said agents were
launching an inquiry parallel to a
police homicide investigation.
Craig Stephen Hicks, 46, is
charged with first-degree murder.
Police say he shot 23-year-old
Deah Shaddy Barakat; his 21year-old wife, Yusor Mohammad
Abu-Salha; and her sister, 19-yearold Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha
over a long-standing parking dispute in the condominium complex where he lived with the newlywed couple. But the families of
the victims have said they were
gunned down because of their
religion.
“This has hate crime written all
over it,” the women’s father,
Mohammad Yousif Abu-Salha
said.
The FBI said Thursday that its
preliminary inquiry seeks “to
determine whether or not any
federal laws were violated” while
it continues to help police in the
college town of Chapel Hill
process evidence for their homicide investigation.
Chapel Hill police have said
they are investigating whether
religious or ethnic hatred motivated Hicks in any way, and federal investigators previously
have said hate crimes haven’t
been ruled out.
Mohammad Yousif Abu-Salha
reiterated to about 5,000 people
attending a Thursday memorial
service for the three victims that
he wanted the FBI to investigate.
“Let’s stand up and be honest
and see what these three children
were martyred about. It was not
about a parking spot,” Abu-Salah
said during the memorial service.
U.S. House votes to make expired
business tax breaks permanent
WASHINGTON (AP) — The House voted Friday to
make permanent an expired tax break designed to
help small businesses invest in equipment and
property, defying a veto threat by the White House.
President Barack Obama objects to the bill
because it would add $79 billion to the budget
deficit over the next decade.
The bill is part of a package of more than 50 temporary tax breaks that Congress routinely extends
every year or two. The entire package expired at
the start of the year. Now, House Republicans are
moving to make selected tax breaks permanent.
On Thursday, the House passed a $14.3 billion
package of tax breaks designed to encourage charitable giving. Also, the House Ways and Means
Committee advanced several other bills that would
benefit businesses and individuals.
The House passed the small business bill on
Friday by a vote of 272-142.
The bill would allow small businesses to immediately write off capital expenses of up to $500,000,
rather than taking the deductions over several
years. Another provision would make it easier for
small business owners to deduct charitable contri-
butions.
Congress has temporarily extended the expiring
provision 12 times since 2003, making it difficult for
businesses to do long-term planning, said Rep. Pat
Tiberi, R-Ohio, who sponsored the bill.
“We can do this, give our small business owners
and farmers the type of certainty they need that
will help our economy grow, that will help their
businesses grow, rather than do what we’ve done
for 12 years now,” Tiberi said. “We need long-term
certainty.”
The bill is endorsed by numerous business
groups, including the National Association of
Manufacturers and the National Federation of
Independent Business.
The White House said that Obama supports making the tax break permanent, but wants to pay for it
by eliminating other business tax breaks.
In its veto message, the White House said the
president’s proposed budget for next year would
allow small businesses to immediately write off up
to $1 million in investments, “while also proposing
other measures to simplify and cut taxes for small
businesses.”

Sheridan Bronc Tyler Mauck loses his match against Camel Zach Clark during the wrestling dual against Gillette Thursday night at Sheridan High School. Sheridan
fell to Gillette 39-24.
Sheridan
wrestlers fall
39-24 to Gillette
BY MIKE DUNN
THE SHERIDAN PRESS
SHERIDAN — The performance of two of
the top teams in the state did not disappoint
the hundreds of wrestling fans who packed the
gym at Sheridan High School to watch the
Sheridan Broncs dual with the Gillette Camels
on Thursday.
“It was an exciting dual; it was electric,”
Broncs head coach Tyson Shatto said. “Our
guys came to battle and so did Gillette. We lost
some of those matches where we were favored
on paper and vise versa.”
Nearly every match was a dogfight, a majority of which were decided in the final minutes.
But it was either a well-conditioned Gillette
lineup, costly Sheridan wrestler miscues or a
combination of both that led to the Broncs
falling to the defending state champions in a
39-24 loss.
“We were in the fight through most of the
matches, we just lost some key moments in the
matches which cost us,” Shatto said. “Either it
cost us points or it cost the match itself.”
The Broncs went 0-for-two in overtime
matches. Sheridan’s Jacob Hallam at 182 had a
three-point lead going into the last 45 seconds
of the third period. But after letting Rhyse
Wandler up, Wandler recorded a take down less
than a second before time expired to send the
match into overtime. Wandler grabbed a take
down in overtime. Gillette clinched another
overtime victory when Jose Agulair beat Ty
Turner in a 6-4 decision.
After facing each other in many tournaments
throughout the season, old rivalries between
Sheridan and Gillette were reignited.
Bronc wrestler Dominic Miller (145) picked
up his second victory in less than a week
against Chris Moodry. However, Moodry
almost got the best of Miller after a near-fall as
time expired, bringing Moodry within one
point in a close 6-5 decision. Hayden Hastings
(152) also chalked up his fourth victory this
year against Logan Wagoner in a 5-0 decision.
The two seniors in the lineup made the best
of their last match at Sheridan High School.
Kerry Powers (195) pinned Patrick Johnson
early while Tory Music (220) finished with a 147 decision over Zach Taylor.
The most exciting match of the evening took
place between Sheridan’s Tucker Goss and
Gillette’s Robert Shirley at 132. The two
exchanged leads back and fourth in a highoctane match, but as the clock wound down,
Goss ran out of gas. Shirley ended up edging
out Goss in a 12-11 decision.
The Broncs are getting a well-needed rest
this weekend before they head to regionals
Feb. 20. Sheridan has wrestled in tournaments
or duals every weekend since winter break.
“We have been hard at it for a month and a
half,” Shatto said. “It’s time to give them a
needed rest before they head into regionals.”
Kuhn dishes out 11 assists,
Lady Generals take down Miles 75-59
BY MIKE PRUDEN
THE SHERIDAN PRESS
MIKE PRUDEN | THE SHERIDAN PRESS
Katie Kuhn brings the ball up the floor during the first half of Sheridan
College's win over Miles Community College Thursday at the Bruce Hoffman
Golden Dome. Kuhn dished out a career high 11 assists in the win.
SHERIDAN — Without one of
their best players, the Sheridan
College Lady Generals (21-5, 8-3)
basketball team used a total team
effort to come away with a win
over Miles Community College 7559.
Sheridan’s fourth-leading scorer,
Tamara Brine, was 9,000 miles
away, back in her home country of
Australia for her sister’s wedding.
That meant head coach Frank
McCarthy had to make an adjustment to his starting lineup, and it
meant that the team would have to
come together to makeup for her
absence.
The lack of Brine’s offensive
skills played a significant role
early, as the surprising quickness
of Miles had Sheridan on their
heels. Down double digits at one
point, the Lady Generals were
lucky to be tied with the Lady
Pioneers (16-11, 6-5) at halftime.
A Zuzana Talackova bucket in
the final seconds tied the game at
35 headed into the break.
McCarthy said the first three
minutes of the second half are the
most important, and they were
what broke the game open for
Sheridan last night. Out of the
break, the Lady Generals ran a
play for an easy bucket on their
first possession, and it was the catalyst for a 10-0 run to start the half.
“That was important to get some
confidence going,” McCarthy said
of the early basket. “It seems like
once you make shots, people get
confident, and they start relaxing
and playing a little bit better.”
After that, it was Sheridan the
whole way. They cut their 12 firsthalf turnovers in half and became
more patient offensively. Good
shots became great shots as they
dished out 23 assists on 53 percent
field goal shooting.
It was point guard Katie Kuhn
who took control of the game for
the Lady Generals. Kuhn, who
despite her heavy minutes on the
floor, isn’t known for her scoring
— averaging just 3.1 points a game
— took care of the basketball
while finding open teammates. She
tied a career high with 11 assists
and turned the ball over just one
time.
“We can’t say enough good things
about her,” McCarthy said of
Kuhn. “Sometimes on the stat page
it doesn’t tell how important she is
to the team, but she’s a two-year
starter. They pressed us every
play; she handled the pressure and
got us into our offense. I’m really
proud of her game.”
With Kuhn taking care of the
pressure up top, it was Sheridan’s
three leading scorers that took
care of business around the basket.

NJ allows physical skill-based gambling
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.
(AP) — An Atlantic City
casino is about to redefine
casino gambling by introducing a new style of
wagering: competition
based on a physical skill
rather than luck.
Executives at The
Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa
told The Associated Press
on Friday that they've gotten permission from New
Jersey gambling regulators
to host a basketball contest
next month in which players shoot free throws for
money.
It's the first of what
promises to be many skillbased events that let gamblers take greater control
over the outcomes of their
bets, rather than relying on
a roll of the dice, spin of
the wheel or deal of the
cards.
"This is a first step, something we've never been able
to do until now," said Joe
Lupo, the casino's senior
vice president. "A year
from now, you'll probably
see a lot more of these
skill-based tournaments or
even games on the casino
floor."
Similar to poker, bettors
are gambling against each
other, not the house, as in
blackjack or slots.
For a $20 buy-in, contestants compete in 90-second
rounds for the right to play
in the final round-of-16 in a
bracket format. The top
four finishers will split
$10,000, with the winner
getting $5,000. A valid
Borgata players' club card
is required to participate in
the contest.
The program was
approved by the New
Jersey Division of Gaming
Enforcement under its
"New Jersey First" initiative to adopt and enact new
gambling products before
other states.
The Borgata, the state
division and the American
Gaming Association all
said the March 21 tournament would be the first of
its kind in the nation,
based on physical skill.
Although many companies
offer real-money skill-based
gambling, particularly
online, and there is an element of skill involved in
poker, this program is the
first of its kind offered by a
licensed United States casino, New Jersey officials say.
"It's purely a physical
dexterity contest," said Eric
Weiss, director of the gambling enforcement division's technical services
bureau.
Other Atlantic City casinos are also free to propose
similar real-money games
for approval, though each
must be evaluated individually by the state.
"It's smart for them to be
creative and try to find new
ways to provide what consumers want given the
highly competitive nature
of the region," said Chris
Moyer, a spokesman for the
American Gaming
Association, the gambling
industry's trade group.
Free throws will be shot
from a 15-foot distance, at a
10-foot high basket using a
professional regulation-size
ball.
Lupo said anyone — of
legal casino gambling age
of 21 — can play, even professional athletes. So does
that mean LeBron James
could enter?
"Definitely," Lupo said.
"In fact, I wish he would."
Fairfield has its
120-game winning streak end
CHOTEAU, Mont. (AP) — A Montana
girls' basketball team lost on Thursday
night for the first time since the 2010 state
championship game, snapping the nation's
longest winning streak at 120 games.
Class B rival Choteau defeated Fairfield
50-38 after rallying from a seven-point second-half deficit to end the longest streak
in Montana high school history.
"I told them to try to act like they had
been there before," said Choteau coach
John Shepherd. "That's hard when you
haven't been there before."
Choteau had lost 13 games to Fairfield
during the streak and hadn't beaten the
Eagles since the 2005-06 season.
"It was about time that we stopped that,"
Choteau senior Hannah Bowers said.
It was Choteau's man-to-man defense
that stymied the Eagles.
"I can count the number of teams that
have given us problems in man-to-man on
one hand in the last three, four years," said
Fairfield coach Dustin Gordon. "Our size
advantage in the paint has always negated
that to the point where teams have had to
play us zone in order to stop us in the
paint, and tonight we just couldn't get the
touches that we want to get."
Gordon said Choteau just played a better
game.
"I'd rather lose it to a good team than a
poor team when we played poor," he said. ".
It's OK to lose to a good team — even if it's
your crosstown rival — if they played well
that night."
The Fairfield players cried as they left
the court and spent a little bit longer in
the locker room, but came out with smiles
on their faces.
"Mainly we just kind of joked around
with each other to make us feel better,"
said point guard Allie Steinbach. "We just
came out as a team."
MIKE PRUDEN | THE SHERIDAN PRESS
Sheridan College's Bennie Lufile gets smothered by two Miles Community College defenders in
the first half of Thursday night's matchup at the Bruce Hoffman Golden Dome.
Woes continue as Generals
fall to Miles in overtime
BY MIKE PRUDEN
THE SHERIDAN PRESS
SHERIDAN — Miles Community
College’s Cole Ashby shot just 2-of-11
from behind the arc last night, but it was
his deep ball in the final five seconds
that downed the Sheridan College men’s
basketball team 84-83 in overtime.
In a game filled with sloppy play and
some controversial whistles, the woes
continued for a Sheridan team that
extended its losing streak to six.
All Sheridan needed was a stop at the
end of regulation, and they would have
come away with their first win since
Jan. 24. After Jamir Andrews missed a
deep 3-pointer late in the shot clock, the
Generals were clinging to a three-point
lead with less than 30 seconds to play.
While Terrell Butler stood with his
hands up, Miles guard Tyree King
stepped into Butler to draw a foul with
two seconds on the clock. It looked as if
King might have stepped over the 3-point
line, but the referees rewarded him three
foul shots. He made all three and sent
the game to overtime.
Sheridan coach Matt Hammer wasn’t
worried about the play at the end of regulation, though. The Generals have
lacked intensity for several weeks, and it
was more of the same last night.
“The morale in the locker room hasn’t
been too great for a couple weeks now,”
Hammer said after Thursday night’s
loss. “The only people that can change
that is the guys. They’ve got to decide to
come out and play hard and dig down
deep and see what they’ve got inside
them.”
They say practice makes perfect, but
Hammer hasn’t seen much carryover
from practice to the games. Talking on
defense, staying disciplined and controlling the basketball are all things the
Generals focus on in practice, but that
didn’t translate into last night’s game.
Sheridan outrebounded Miles 46-32 and
outshot them 49 percent to 39 percent,
but they had only 10 assists while turning the ball over 25 times. They shot an
abysmal 17 percent from behind the arc
and 59 percent from the free-throw line.
“I just think we’ve got some guys that
are just worried about themselves and
being a little selfish right now,” Hammer
said. “What we’re working on in practice, what we’re trying to do, for some
reason, I don’t know, when the lights go
on and the stands fill up, guys just don’t
want to carryover what we’re trying to
work on.
“That’s the most frustrating part of it,”
he continued. “It seems like the only people that don’t realize how capable they
are of playing hard and playing together
is them.”
‘They’ve got to decide to come
out and play hard and dig down deep
and see what they’ve got inside.’
Matt Hammer
Sheridan College head men’s basketball coach
Andrews finished with 17 points for
Sheridan but needed 21 shots to get there
and shot just 1-of-9 from deep. Pablo
Rivas also chipped in 17 points to go
with 10 rebounds, and Rudy Joly added
12 points and 16 rebounds.
With just three games left in the regular season, the Generals are going to
have to turn things around quickly if
they want to gain any momentum heading into the region tournament.
Sheridan will travel to Little Big Horn
College on Saturday before returning
home for a matchup with rival Gillette
on Tuesday.
“I know there’s a lot of guys that are
frustrated, but the only way we’re going
to get out of this is if we start playing a
lot harder and buying into each other
and playing for each other,” Hammer
said.
Lawyer helping Chicago Little League team stripped of title
CHICAGO (AP) — A day after Little
League International stripped
Chicago’s Jackie Robinson West of its
national championship, team officials
announced they’ve hired a high-profile attorney to conduct an investigation they hope will end with the
return of their title.
The sport’s governing body
announced Wednesday that team officials had violated regulations by
including players who didn’t qualify
because they lived outside the team’s
boundaries, then scrambled to get
adjacent leagues to go along with the
scheme. But attorney Victor
Henderson said Thursday he will try
to determine not only whether the
team broke any rules but whether —
as supporters in Chicago have suggested — Little League International
unfairly singled them out.
“I want to make sure that whatever
rules and regulations are being
applied to Jackie Robinson West are
being applied to any other team,”
Henderson said during a news conference, flanked by members of the family that runs the league on the city’s
South Side and the team’s manager,
who has been suspended.
Henderson said it is too early to say
if Jackie Robinson West will file a
lawsuit against Little League
International.
“Clearly, we have one more battle,”
said Bill Haley, the director of the
team, whose father was the founder.
“You were not wrong for sticking with
our boys then (during the Little
League World Series), and you are not
wrong for sticking with our boys
now.”
The announcement that the title the
team won at last summer’s Little
League World Series triggered an
emotional response from parents and
supporters in Chicago and around the
country, some of whom suggested that
the race of the all-black team may
have been a factor in the stunning
decision to remove the title. On
Thursday, Henderson tried to tamp
down those criticisms.
“We aren’t raising the race card,” he
said. He also addressed threats made
against the life of the suburban baseball league official whose allegations
triggered the investigation.
“The Haley family, they want no
part of that,” he said.
The family members who attended
the press conference and Darold
Butler, the team’s suspended manager,
did not take questions. Henderson
said he could not answer any questions until he receives paperwork
from Little League International,
which he said he will request.
In the meantime, he said he is
telling the boys that, as far as he is
concerned, they remain the national
champions.
“I’m saying to them, ‘You do not give
up your championship yet,’” he said.

DRS. OZ & ROIZEN
Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Michael Roizen
MARY WORTH by Karen Moy and Joe Giella
BORN LOSER® by Art and Chip Sansom
You've heard the expression
"Move it or lose it"? Wow, is
that true! A new study looked
at the life expectancy of over
334,000 men and women, and
found that -- regardless of
your body mass index -- inactivity (no recreational activity and a sedentary job) is
twice as likely as obesity to
lead to premature death.
The good news?
Researchers found that if
over- or healthy-weight couch
potatoes did just 20 minutes
of brisk walking a day, they
could slash their risk of premature death by 16 percent to
30 percent. And going from
"moderately inactive" to
"active" brings even better
results. So here's how to get
"active."
1. Hey Batman, find Robin.
For real success, you want an
exercise buddy/coach you
trust so you'll listen to coaching, prodding -- even a smackdown, if you need it. And if
your Robin isn't local,
arrange for a daily check-in
via social media, texting
and/or a call, so you can get
support and report on your
progress. Dr. Mike says
choosing the right buddy is
the most important thing you
can do for your health.
2. Aim for 10,000 steps a
day. Every morning, grab
your pedometer (you have
one, don't you?) and count all
of your steps, right through
your new routine of a daily
30- to 60-minute walk.
3. Laugh -- a lot. Getting
healthy should be fun!
Laughter will keep you
engaged and eager to exercise.
Mehmet Oz, M.D. is host of
"The Dr. Oz Show," and Mike
Roizen, M.D. is Chief
Wellness Officer and Chair of
Wellness Institute at
Cleveland Clinic. To live your
healthiest, tune into "The Dr.
Oz Show" or visit www.sharecare.com.
DEAR ABBY

GARFIELD by Jim Davis
FRANK & ERNEST® by Bob Thaves
DEAR ABBY: My younger
brother is 25. Three or four
months ago he got out of a
six-year relationship. He is
now dating his former boss, a

DILBERT by S. Adams
ALLEY OOP® by Dave Graue and Jack Bender
woman who is at least 15
years older than he is. As far
as I know, I'm the only one
he's told.
I recently asked him how
the romance was going and
he told me things are great.
He also said he's worried
about how to let the rest of
our family know about this
new relationship. Do you
have any advice I could give
him about revealing something that's sure to shock
some members of our family? -- WORRIED OLDER
BROTHER IN KANSAS CITY,
MO.
DEAR WORRIED: Yes. Tell
him all he has to do is bring
his new love interest to the
next family gathering. (You
can be in charge of supplying
the smelling salts.)
DEAR ABBY: My husband
and I completed construction
on our retirement home five
years ago. Even though we're
not retired, we were able to
move in. We are now 3 1/2
hours away from family.
We have repeatedly invited
family members to enjoy our
hospitality at holiday or
vacation time. Some of them
have taken us up on the invitation at least once. However,
one of my brothers has never
been here.
We have a lovely log cabin
on a lake, and it can accommodate ALL family members
for a gathering. Our relatives
cite the long drive as the reason for staying away, while
they think nothing of taking
a hunting or fishing trip
nearby.
I have stopped asking. My
mom thinks I should continue extending invitations.
Truthfully, it is a lot less
work and expense to NOT
host. Who's right? -ENOUGH ALREADY IN
MICHIGAN
DEAR ENOUGH: You are.
By now your relatives are
well aware that they are welcome. Continue to invite
those who have accepted and
reciprocated your hospitality,
because it should be apparent that the ones who have
declined are not interested.
And explain that to your
mother, who long ago should
have stopped telling you
what to do.
DEAR ABBY: Have you or
any of your female readers
experienced this medical
phenomenon with their male
partners? When I open my
mouth to speak, I can literally hear my husband's ears
slam shut! Repeating everything seems to be a side
effect for those of us living
with someone with this disease. Does anyone know of a
cure? -- TIRED OF TALKING
TO MYSELF
DEAR TIRED: Alas, I can't
answer from personal experience because every time I
open my mouth to speak, my
husband rushes forward to
catch the pearls of wisdom
I'm spewing. However, I suspect that what you're experiencing may be a widespread
phenomenon that happens
when any woman suggests
something her spouse doesn't
want to hear. Readers, what
do you think?

Abigail Van Buren, also

Hints from Heloise
A Call for Safety
Dear Readers: It seems that
everyone is using a CELLPHONE. It's very easy to be distracted by using your cellphone
while driving -- calls, texts,
maps and who knows what
else. Talking on a cellphone
while driving can be fatal.
Many states and cities have
outlawed their use while driving.
Laws vary from state to state
and city to city. Here are some
of the ways cellphone use has
been limited:
* Use of a cellphone is banned
unless using a hands-free device or a mount.
* Texting while driving is not
allowed.
* Cellphone use in school
zones is not permitted.
* Drivers under the age of 18
may not be allowed to use cellphones at all.
Using your hand-held cellphone could potentially cost
you a ticket, not to mention the
possibilities of getting in or
causing a wreck.
Is that phone call or text mes-
Heloise
sage really that important? Methinks
not. -- Heloise
A PERSONAL
MESSAGE
Dear Readers:
Allow me a little
space in this column to send a
special message to someone I
love a lot!
Happy 34th anniversary,
David. Today is Friday, the
13th of February. Can it really
be this long? Thank you for putting up with me. It's been a
very interesting and fun ride.
I'm looking forward to the next
decade or two with you in my
heart. -- Luv, M.M.

Dear Heloise: I turn my white

BINDER CLIPS
Dear Heloise: Binder clips
come in a variety of sizes. Here
are a few other uses:
Use a small to medium-size
one at the top of your wall calendar to hang it instead of
using the tiny holes in the calendar. Use a medium to large
clip as a chip-bag closer.
Use a large one to close petfood bags. I use the extra-large
size to secure litter liners in my
cat's litter box. -- Mary Anne Z.,

Love it! I sometimes use a
large binder clip to put up my
hair when in my office. -Heloise
SCRATCHED AND
SCRAPED
Dear Heloise: My doors are
dark-stained oak. My husband
uses a walker, and inevitably
the bottoms of the doors get
scratched and scraped. I use
brown cream shoe polish to
cover the dings. This works for
damage done by toys, scrapes
from moving furniture and
"bruises" on furniture. -- Barbara M., Carmichael, Calif.

KEEP YOUR EYES
PEELED FOR PROBLEMS
Actress Kristen Stewart said, "I have a bunch
of fruit trees in my backyard. My loquat tree
sprouted, and I like making loquat pie. Loquats
are really hard to peel
and it took me forever,
but they make the best
pies."
Bridge players who
keep their eyes peeled
will play better than
those who are less attentive.
In this deal, South is in
three no-trump. After
West leads the spade
queen to dummy's bare
ace, what should declarer do?
In the auction, South's
two-no-trump response
showed a balanced hand
with 10-12 points and denied a four-card major;
it was game-invitational.
(With 13-15 points, South
would have responded
three notrump. This
has been standard in the
tournament
world for some
time.) North
had a borderline raise,
but he hoped he was contributing six tricks to
the cause and that partner could find three
more from somewhere.
South seems to have
nine easy tricks: two
spades, one heart, one
diamond and five clubs.
However, there is a danger that the club suit
will become blocked. If,
when South cashes
dummy's club ace, he
carelessly plays his
three under it, he will
have to win the fourth
round of clubs in his
hand. He will not have a
dummy entry to reach
the fifth club, and will
end with only eight
tricks.

BIRTHDAY GAL: Actress
Erica Leerhsen was born in
New York City on this date
in 1976. This birthday gal is
known mainly for her work
in such horror movies as
"Mischief Night," "Lonely
Joe" and "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre." She's appeared on the small screen
in episodes of "Person of Interest," "The Good Wife"
and "CSI: Miami." Leerhsen
made her film debut in the
2000 movie "Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2."
ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19):
A step forward could result
in two steps backward. Taking action without gathering all the information
available first could be
counterproductive. Set
aside some time to spend
with the object of your affection and celebrate Valentine's Day in grand style.
TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20):
Show them you care. Displays of affection are likely
to receive a warm reception, whether within an existing relationship or with
someone new. Thoughtful
Valentine's Day gifts tell
more about the giver than
the receiver.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
Listen to your heart. While
you may have a Valentine
all ready to go for a certain
someone, be sure to let
other loved ones know
where they stand, as well. A
close friend or relative may
need a few words up encouragement.
CANCER (June 21-July
22): Stick with what works.
There's no need to think
outside the box with new
ideas or methods when old
routines will do the job just
fine. The best solution to a
complicated problem is
often the simplest one.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): All
work and no play may be an
unfortunate necessity. Important business matters
may need tending to and
you'll need to find people
who can come through for
you in the pinch. No matter
how busy you are, be sure
to take care of Valentine's
Day responsibilities.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Find the poet within. Express your feelings to the
object of your affection in
writing. Your significant
other will be delighted to receive a sentimental Valentine or a hand-crafted set of
your own romantic platitudes.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.):
Make someone smile today
and reap benefits in the future. A Valentine's Day gift
ticed, declarer must peel
away his club six, eight
and nine under dummy's
three honors, so that on
the fourth round of the
suit, dummy's four will
squash South's three, allowing the club two to be
cashed.
Jeraldine Saunders
that comes straight from
the heart will be infinitely
more valuable than some
extravagant bauble. Remember, it's the thought
that counts.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.
21): Hone your craft. No
matter how experienced
you are, it never hurts to
keep your wits sharp with a
little practice. Valentine's
Day exchanges may create
an atmosphere of harmony
and bliss while singles may
meet up with interesting
new hook ups.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Romance is close at
hand. You may only need to
look to your own backyard
to find what you've been
looking for all along. You
may be pleasantly surprised
to find that someone has
planned a special Valentine's Day just for you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): Tie up loose ends. Make
sure you've dotted all the I's
and crossed all the T's before setting off on your
Valentine's Day festivities.
While business may take
precedent in the day, matters of the heart will move
to the forefront as the sun
sets.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18): Put inspiration to work.
Newfound passion and energy should be focused on
creating something wonderful and lasting for your future. Cupid's arrow might
strike the heart of a close
friend and change the nature of your relationship.
PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20):
Leave business woes at the
office. Devote your time to
family or a significant other
and let work wait until
Monday. Homemade Valen-
tine's Day gifts may make a
far greater impression than
those bought at the store.
IF FEBRUARY 14 IS
YOUR BIRTHDAY: Your energy and enthusiasm are
welcome additions to any
group activity or organization function. During the
upcoming four to six weeks,
people may show their appreciation for your fairness
and objectivity and encourage you to seek a better job
or higher status. Put your
dreams to the test by making crucial changes and decisions in May when you're
wiser than usual and most
likely to be successful at
anything you attempt. This
is an excellent time to put
plans into motion that will
favorably impact your future.

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.
