FROM STAFF REPORTS ‘Group listening to music is a lost art. Coming to the Knights of the Turntable is the opposite of wearing ear buds.’ Don McKee Owner, Phoenix Books and Music The song is “Pop Muzik” by M. Released in 1979, it is a bouncing precursor to the danceable music with a synthesizer bent that would come to dominate the 1980s. The cover features a gigantic baby beneath graffiti-like text. The track was brought to you by Don McKee, owner of Phoenix Books and Music and host of the monthly Knights of the Turntable gatherings. Held on the first Thursday of every month, Knights of the Turntable is a free-flowing and open group for vinyl and music enthusiasts. The theme for January’s gathering is “Guilty Pleasures,” but often there is no theme — just a bunch of people standing around and listening to music together. That in itself is a near-dead practice in 2015 and something McKee takes pride in keeping alive. “Group listening to music in any format is a lost art. Coming to Knights of the Turntable is the opposite of wearing ear buds,” he said. Early versions of the group were much more structured, amounting to one person giving a lecture. Today, the group is much less formal. Visitors bring three songs they like, or songs that are relevant to the topic, and offer a brief intro. But occasionally, they just hit play, McKee said. “That said, the amount of music knowledge in the room is just staggering,” McKee said. Adam Moon is one of the founders of the group and has been a regular face at the gatherings. Tonight he brought “The Goonies ‘R’ Good Enough,” a single by Cyndi Lauper, among others from his collection, which he said totals about 6,000 albums.

Main St. SHERIDAN — The Wyoming Senate approved a third reading amendment to the budget bill Thursday, but similarly to a footnote added in the 2014 legislative session, the amendment addresses the review and implementation of the Next Generation Science Standards rather than the budget itself. The amendment to Senate File 1 on general government appropriations, authored by Majority Floor Leader Sen. Eli Bebout, R-Riverton, instructs the Board of Education to develop science standards that are “unique to Wyoming” on the heels of a Wyoming House vote on Tuesday to reject this very amendment to House Bill 23. HB23 would repeal the footnote added to the 2014 budget bill that essentially banned consideration of the Next Generation Science Standards by saying no money could be spent on the review or consideration of NGSS or any standards related to NGSS. Rep. John Patton, RSheridan, sponsored HB23 and said legislating education standards through budget footnotes is just bad government. “I don’t understand the reasoning behind the footnote with the exception that it’s a sneaky way to make policy and I don’t think it showed any respect for the education board members,” Patton told The Sheridan Press in 2014 regarding the footnote. “It’s a very unusual practice, and shouldn’t be a practice at all, as a way of sneaking something into the appropriations bill that I think is inappropriate and does not belong in there.” SEE STANDARDS, PAGE 2 House rejects Medicaid expansion amendment CHEYENNE (AP) — The Wyoming House of Representatives on Thursday rejected a proposal to expand the federal Medicaid program.

Zwonitzer said going into Thursday’s hearing that he didn’t expect it to pass, but he wanted to give House members on both sides of the critical issue a chance to be heard.

Austin Cunningham, 18, was approached by police in July when his Honda Civic was found sideways in the road on West Fifth Street where it had run out of gas. Cunningham told police he was trying to push the car to the Sinclair station nearby. While talking with Cunningham, police noticed a strong smell of marijuana coming from the vehicle and told Cunningham they would need to search the car. They found approximately two ounces of marijuana in an orange case in a backpack in the trunk. They also found a digital scale and nearly $500 in cash. Cunningham claimed he did not know the scale was in the car and told police the money was from his job delivering pizza. Cunningham initially pleaded not guilty to a charge of possession of a controlled substance with the intent to deliver. The charge is a felony and carries a possible 10 years in prison and $10,000 in fines. The plea was changed to guilty in conjuction with a plea deal. At that time, Cunningham admitted he was distributing the marijuana, and the money in the car was from marijuana sales. Cunningham’s attorney Ryan Healy told the court that his client had fallen into his problem with drugs after self-medicating to ease medical problems. Healy said Cunningham had completed residential treatment and was planning to look for a job. Judge John Fenn asked Cunningham if he knew how fortunate he was to receive a deferred sentence as it was rare for the prosecution to offer it and rare for a judge to accept it. A deferred sentence means that proceedings will be deferred until after Cunningham has completed the conditions agreed upon for one to five years of probation. The court may at any time after the expiration of a year from the original probation discharge the charges against Cunningham as long as he does not violate the terms on his probation. If the charges are discharged, the felony will not go on Cunningham’s record. Cunningham has no previous convictions on his record.

He has added stock and space in the format to match that trend. “In the last 10 years, sales have gone up and it is still possible to go out there and find a good collection for sale to look through,” he said. “It will probably continue to go up because most of the people buying them are younger, 15 to 30 years old, discovering classic rock and wanting it in vinyl.” Ernie November manager Keith Coombes said he enjoyed coming out and “getting schooled” during the sessions. “It’s fun to get together with people that still appreciate listening and collecting vinyl records,” he said. STANDARDS: ECA also moving forward FROM 1 After the proposal of the amendment to the budget bill Thursday, the debate on the Senate Floor centered around good science rather than good budgeting or governing. “Science doesn't change once you cross the border,” Senate President Phil Nicholas, R-Albany, said. “What does 'unique' mean?" The “unique” amendment can still be removed by the Legislature in a budget conference committee or be line-item vetoed by Gov. Matt Mead. The amendment reads, "The state board of education may consider, discuss or modify the Next Generation Science Standards, in addition to any other standards, content or benchmarks as it may determine necessary, to develop quality science standards that are unique to Wyoming. If Next Generation Science Standards-2 (HB23) is enacted, subsection (b) of this footnote is repealed." In other education related legislative action this week, the full external cost adjustment being sought as part of the funding model for school districts has been restored in the budget in both houses. Sens. Stan Cooper, RKemmerer; Paul Barnard, R-Evanston; Leland Christensen, R-Alta; Bernadine Craft, D-Rock Springs; Dan Dockstader, RAfton; and Dave Kinskey, RSheridan, sponsored a third reading amendment to the SF1 to mirror the House language restoring the ECA. The Wyoming School District Coalition has been lobbying for an ECA — an inflation-based adjustment to the funding model that is mandated by state law but has not been offered since 2010. The lack of an ECA has cost districts statewide $151 million over three fiscal years, an amount that will increase once last year’s data is calculated. Recent discussion in the Legislature regarding the ECA has centered on which areas of educational costs require an inflation adjustment and which do not. The full restoration of the ECA means professional labor, materials, energy and nonprofessional labor were each recognized as requiring adjustments. In other business: • The education administration-1 bill, SF10, and the school finance-excess mill levy rebate bill, SF20, both passed second reading in the House Thursday. • The education-writing assessment bill, HB159, and the Hathaway scholarshipsexceptions from requirements bill, HB231ENG, both passed out of the Senate Education Committee Wednesday. • The content and performance standards bill, HB87ENG, failed to pass out of the Senate Education Committee Wednesday, due to lack of a second on the bill. • The school facilities bill, SF57ENG, passed out of the House Education Committee Wednesday. • The school athletic safety bill, SF98, failed to pass out of the House Education Committee Wednesday. • The development of education standards bill, HB73, passed third reading late Wednesday in the Senate, as amended. The House did not concur with the Senate version of the bill; therefore, a conference committee will be appointed. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2015 www.thesheridanpress.com THE SHERIDAN PRESS A3 Snowden leak: NSA helped British steal cell phone codes WASHINGTON (AP) — Britain’s electronic spying agency, in cooperation with the U.S. National Security Agency, hacked into the networks of a Dutch company to steal codes that allow both governments to seamlessly eavesdrop on mobile phones worldwide, according to the documents given to journalists by Edward Snowden. A story about the documents posted Thursday on the website The Intercept offered no details on how the intelligence agencies employed the eavesdropping capability — providing no evidence, for example, that they misused it to spy on people who weren’t valid intelligence targets. But the surreptitious operation against the world’s largest manufacturer of mobile phone data chips is bound to stoke anger around the world. It fuels an impression that the NSA and its British counterpart will do whatever they deem necessary to further their surveillance prowess, even if it means stealing information from law-abiding Western companies. The targeted company, Netherlands-based Gemalto, makes “subscriber identity modules,” or SIM cards, used in mobile phones and credit cards. One of the company’s three global headquarters is in Austin, Texas. Its clients include AT&T, TMobile, Verizon and Sprint, The Intercept reported. The Intercept offered no evidence of any eavesdropping against American customers of those providers, and company officials told the website they had no idea their networks had been penetrated. Experts called it a major compromise of mobile phone security. A spokeswoman for Sprint Nextel said Thursday that her company had no comment on the report, while a spokeswoman for T-Mobile said her company was referring reporters to Gemalto and declined further comment. In addition to SIM cards, Gemalto is a leading maker of encryption systems for other business and industrial uses, including electronic payment processing and “smart” key cards that businesses and government agencies use to restrict access to computers or other sensitive facilities. “Their SIM cards would be used by most of the major telecom operators,” said Linley Gwennap, principal analyst at the Linley Group, a Silicon Valley tech research firm. The NSA did not immediately respond to a request for comment. In the past, former agency officials have defended using extralegal techniques to further sur- veillance capabilities, saying the U.S. needs to be able to eavesdrop on terrorists and U.S. adversaries who communicate on the same networks as everyone else. The NSA, like the CIA, breaks the espionage and hacking laws of other countries to get information that helps American interests. Still, the methods in this case may prove controversial, as did earlier Snowden revelations that the NSA was hacking transmissions among Google’s data centers. The Intercept reported that British government hackers targeted Gemalto engineers around the world much as the U.S. often accuses Chinese government hackers of targeting Western companies — stealing credentials that got the hackers into the company’s networks. Once inside, the British spies stole encryption keys that allow them to decode the data that passes between mobile phones and cell towers. That allows them to ungarble calls, texts or emails intercepted out of the air. At one point in June 2010, Britain’s Government Communications Headquarters, or GCHQ, as its signals intelligence agency is known, intercepted nearly 300,000 keys for mobile phone users in Somalia, The Intercept reported. “Somali providers are not on GCHQ’s list of interest,” the document noted, according to the Intercept. “(H)owever, this was usefully shared with NSA.” Earlier in 2010, GCHQ successfully intercepted keys used by wireless network providers in Iran, Afghanistan, Yemen, India, Serbia, Iceland and Tajikistan, according to the documents provided to The Intercept. But the agency noted trouble breaking into Pakistan networks. COURTESY PHOTO | BLAINE MCCARTNEY/WYOMING TRIBUNE EAGLE Tuned in at the Legislature Sen. Bruce Burns, R-Sheridan, listens to a debate as he chairs the 63rd Wyoming Legislature's general session Wednesday afternoon at the State Capitol in Cheyenne. Enzi addresses Wyoming lawmakers CHEYENNE (AP) — Wyoming Sen. Mike Enzi addressed lawmakers at the State Capitol in Cheyenne on Thursday, telling them that Congress could learn much about efficiency and budgeting by following their lead. Enzi, a Republican, is a former Wyoming legislator and mayor of Gillette. He was recently appointed chairman of the Senate Budget Committee and told lawmakers that he’s the first account- ant to hold the job. Enzi noted that the federal government, unlike Wyoming, doesn’t have a requirement to run a balanced budget. Enzi says he commonly applies a rule in Congress that he learned in the Wyoming Legislature. He says he has found that Republicans and Democrats generally agree on 80 percent of the issues, and that successful legislation can be crafted by sticking to that common ground. Coal companies seek help from residents on federal rule changes BY MIKE DUNN THE SHERIDAN PRESS SHERIDAN — Coal companies are turning to local residents for help in another battle with federal rules and regulations. Officials from Cloud Peak Energy, a Gillette-based mining company operating three surface mines in the Powder River Basin, are asking for a 60-day extension of the public comment period for a rule change proposed by the U.S. Office of Natural Resources Revenue, a division of the Department of the Interior. The proposed rule change would alter the way exported coal is valued. The 60-day public comment period, which began Jan 6., is slated to close March 9. Jason Begger, Cloud Peak’s government affairs manager, spoke to the Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce members Feb. 11, encouraging residents to write letters urging the Department of the Interior to extend the public comment period. “The fact of the matter is if this thing goes through, it is going to completely cut the legs out from underneath us,” Begger said. The intention behind the rule is to keep coal producers from avoiding higher export royalties by selling to brokers prior to international shipment. Officials at the Department of the Interior argue coal valuation regulations have not kept pace with the market changes which have occurred in the domestic natural gas and coal markets. “The initial steps we are taking are part of the larger effort to strengthen the management of coal production on public lands by providing greater certainty and predictability to the industry and helping to protect American taxpayers,” Deputy Secretary of the Interior Mike Connor said in a December 2014 press release. Opponents say the 60-day comment period is not enough to prepare for the new rule change. “The complexity of this proposed rule requires additional time to review the possible implications of the change and provide informed comments to the department to help develop a sensible policy for federal lessees, buyers of oil, gas and coal, taxpayers and others impacted by such a change,” Cloud Peak Energy President and CEO Colin Marshall said in a letter addressed to DOI Secretary Sally Jewell. Rick Curtsinger, media relations manager with Cloud Peak Energy, said one of the mines that would be impacted by the rule change is Spring Creek Mine in Decker, Montana. Approximately 4.7 million tons of coal were exported through Cloud Peak’s Spring Creek Mine according to the most recent data available. Cloud Peak Energy has recently agreed to increase exports with Westshore Terminal in British Columbia, Canada, and has two proposed ports in Washington and Oregon which would increase export potential as well. Nearly 90 percent of Spring Creek Mine’s workforce lives in Sheridan County. THE DOG & CAT SHELTER Open 12 p.m. - 6 p.m. Mon, Tues, Thurs & Fri, 11:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Sat.

He flubbed his line. "We definitely no longer inspire fear in our enemies," the nominal front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination said at the start of his ballyhooed address. "The problem is perhaps best demonstrated by this administration's approach to Iraq." Whoa! He's going there — right into the failure that pretty much destroyed his brother's presidency? Bush continued reading from his text, as if for the first time. "We've had 35 years of experience with Iran," he went on, then realized his earlier mistake. "Excuse me, Iran. Thirty-five years' experience with Iran's rulers." Dr. Freud would have been amused. Bush leads in the early GOP 2016 polls because his name is Bush, but that name could bring about his downfall as well, because his brothDANA er's tenure is remembered for misery MILBANK in Iraq and economic collapse. Try | though he did to differentiate himself from George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, John Ellis Bush's delivery gave him away. When he addressed the Chicago Council on Global Affairs luncheon at the Fairmont, he combined his father's awkward oratory with his brother's mangled syntax and malapropisms. Like his brother, he said "nucular" instead of "nuclear," and he hunched over the lectern with both hands on it — but instead of exuding folksiness, as his brother does, he oozed discomfort. A top priority, he explained, is "reforming a broken immigration system and turning it into an economic — a catalytic converter for sustained economic growth." Presumably he was reaching for "catalyst" but instead came up with an automotive emissions-control device. "As we grow our presence by growing our ability to produce oil and gas," Bush went on, "we also make it possible to lessen the dependency that Russia now has on top of Europe." Russia's dependency on top of Europe? It was, in addition to being backward, a delightful echo of his brother's belief that it is hard "to put food on your family." At another point, discussing NATO's aggressive stance in the Baltics, Jeb explained that "I don't know what the effect has been, because, you know, it's really kind of hard to be out on the road, and I'm just a gladiator these days, so I don't follow every little detail." Asked about the weakening of nation states in the Middle East, he admitted: "I don't have a solution. I mean, I — I — I've read articles, you know, about whether the 1915 kind of breakout of the Middle East and how that no longer is a viable deal." Bush, eschewing teleprompter, read his speech quickly and, during the question time that followed, leaned forward in a chair, jacket buttoned and legs spread, swigging water with Marco Rubio's gusto. The former Florida governor recited his foreign policy credentials, such as opening a bank office in Venezuela. He touted a Latin American free-trade agreement and noted that "where Columba and I live is going to be right in the center of the universe of that free-trade agreement." He can see Cuba from his house! Even the money line of his speech, that he's his own man, received a distracting grace note when he said: "I love my brother. I love my dad. I actually love my mother as well — hope that's OK." (It's unclear who had suggested otherwise.) Bush mimicked some of his big brother's bravado, using phrases such as "enemies of freedom" and "tighten the noose" and "take them out." But what brought him closest to his kin were the random oddities in his speech. He declared that "whoever created the terminology BRIC would have to change the name," without explaining that BRIC referred to emerging economies Brazil, Russia, India and China. At another point he had trouble coming up with the English name for "Plan Colombia" and explained, "Sometimes my mind switches, and I apologize." He propounded the curious theory that "the more tepid the economic growth" the less likely NATO members are to "defend themselves" militarily. He said that with President Obama's "pivot" to Asia, "the rest of the world wonders, am I the pivotee?" Bush admitted that his foreign policy was still in the training phase. "Look, the more I get into this stuff, there are some things [where] you just go, you know, 'Holy schnikes.'" If he keeps talking like this, Americans may say the same of him.

The predators are noble, exquisite creatures, unlike the over-bred livestock that is often smeared with its own excrement polluting our water- shed. The mountain water deserves more respect. It is a treasure, as are the predators. At the top of the food chain, the predators keep the ecological balance of the watershed. Many of us would rather not have livestock grazing in the Bighorn National Forest. Grazing on public land is a privilege, not a right. Fenced livestock is ecologically destructive if it is left on an area for too long. Nine days might be a good limit.

Jennifer Williams Big Horn GOP should finish what Democrats started 've been radicalized. By Harry Reid and Barack Obama. Goodbye moderation and sweet reason. No more clinging to constitutional and procedural restraint. It's time to go nuclear. In the fourth quarter of his presidency, Obama unbound is abusing presidential authority at will to secure a legacy on everything from environmental regulation to immigration, the laws of which he would unilaterally suspend.

The decision to print any submission is completely at the discretion of the managing editor and publisher. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2015 utive amnesty for illegal immigrants that for four years he himself had insisted was unlawful. As for procedure, Reid went nuclear in November 2013 when he abolished the filibuster for presidential appointees and judicial nominees (below the Supreme Court). He did it to pack the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals with liberals. The nation's liberal chorus cheered. "Elections are supposed to have consequences," read one typical commentary. "It was time to push the button." Boom. My beef with Reid was not what he did but how he did it. The filibuster has grown in use and power over the decades to the point of dysfunction. Everything needed 60 votes. This is relatively new and nowhere to be found in the Constitution. My problem was the egregious way Reid changed the rule: by a simple majority, 52-48, with zero Republicans onboard (and three Democrats defecting). As I wrote at the time, "If a bare majority can change the fundamental rules that govern an institution, then there are no rules." I was not the only one to warn that Democrats would rue the day. Once you go nuclear, so can the other guy. Reid went first. Time for Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to finish the job. Push the button. Abolish the filibuster. Then immediately pass the House homeland security bill and send it to the president. He is likely to veto it, but the politics will have been radically changed. The current storyline is: Republican Congress won't fund DHS, threatening to shut it down. New storyline: Obama vetoes funding for DHS, threatening to shut it down. The latter narrative is more accurate: Democrats are stopping the funding. Moreover, a presidential veto would lead to a more fair allocation of blame. And it's blame allocation that determines which side blinks first. The president will have a major incentive to find some face-saving finesse. But filibuster abolition is more than a one-shot proposition. It would radically change the next two years. It would give Republicans full control of the Congress and allow swift passage of a GOP agenda. It would also clarify the antagonists: a lawless president vs. a willful Congress. The GOP could be sending bill after bill to the president's desk — on tax reform, trade, Obamacare and, if it has the guts, immigration. Obama's choice? Sign, veto or negotiate a compromise. If he vetoes, then Republicans take that issue to the country in 2016. What's the downside? Democrats showed in 2013 their willingness to trash Senate procedure for a mess of pottage -- three judges on one court. If Republicans stand pat now, what's to stop Democrats from abolishing the filibuster altogether when it suits them in the future? And think of the upside. A GOP resort to the nuclear option might make Democrats come to their senses and negotiate a new understanding that any fundamental change in Senate rules — e.g., altering the filibuster — will henceforth require some agreed to supermajority. No more bare-majority party-line coups. This would be ideal. But that's for later. For now, go for the doable. Abolish the filibuster and challenge the president. And when asked, "How can you do such a thing?" tell them to ask Harry Reid. CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER is an American Pulitzer Prizewinning syndicated columnist, political commentator, and physician.

Brundage St. TIPPED OVER | Leon Kent, hero of Battle of the Bulge, dies at 99 BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Leon Kent, who led a group of American soldiers that knocked out five German tanks and held up the enemy advance during the Battle of the Bulge, has died. He was 99. His family tells the Los Angeles Times that Kent had pneumonia and died on Feb. 12 in Beverly Hills. Kent was an Army lieutenant in December 1944 when he was ordered to stop the advancing tanks in Belgium. His battery wasn’t trained in antitank warfare and had only an anti-aircraft gun. Nevertheless, Kent and his three soldiers destroyed five tanks in two hours and were credited with helping prevent a major German breakthrough in Belgium, allowing retreating Allied troops to regroup. The four soldiers received Silver Stars, although Kent’s wasn’t delivered until 1998 because of lost paperwork. Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 20, 1905, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Jacobson v. Massachusetts, upheld, 7-2, compulsory vaccination laws intended to protect the public’s health. (The case involved a Swedish immigrant, Henning Jacobson, who refused to pay a $5 fine for refusing to be vaccinated against smallpox; the Court upheld the right of states to penalize individuals who rejected vaccinations, but did not say they could be forcibly vaccinated.) On this date: In 1915, the Panama Pacific International Exposition opened in San Francisco (the fair lasted until December). In 1938, Anthony Eden resigned as British foreign secretary following Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain’s decision to negotiate with Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. In 1944, during World War II, U.S. strategic bombers began raiding German aircraft manufacturing centers in a series of attacks that became known as “Big Week.” In 1950, the U.S. Supreme Court, in United States v. Rabinowitz, ruled 5-3 that authorities making a lawful arrest did not need a warrant to search and seize evidence in an area that was in the “immediate and complete control” of the suspect. In 1962, astronaut John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth as he flew aboard Project Mercury’s Friendship 7 spacecraft. In 1965, America’s Ranger 8 spacecraft crashed on the moon, as planned, after sending back thousands of pictures of the lunar surface. In 1971, the National Emergency Warning Center in Colorado erroneously ordered U.S. radio and TV stations off the air; some stations heeded the alert, which was not lifted for about 40 minutes. In 1987, a bomb left by Unabomber Ted Kaczynski exploded behind a computer store in Salt Lake City, seriously injuring store owner Gary Wright. Soviet authorities released Jewish activist Josef Begun. In 1998, Tara Lipinski of the U.S. won the ladies’ figure skating gold medal at the Nagano Olympics; Michelle Kwan won the silver. In 2003, a fire sparked by pyrotechnics broke out during a concert by the group Great White at The Station nightclub in West Warwick, Rhode Island, killing 100 people and injuring about 200 others. Ten years ago: Israel’s Cabinet gave final approval to the government’s planned withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and four West Bank settlements. Former Presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton traveled to Lampuuk, Indonesia, ground zero of tsunami devastation, where they promised survivors that more help would come. Five years ago: Alexander Haig, a soldier and statesman who’d held high posts in three Republican administrations and some of the U.S. military’s top jobs, died in Baltimore at 85. Floods and mudslides on the Portuguese island of Madeira claimed more than 40 lives. One year ago: Protesters advanced on police lines in the heart of the Ukrainian capital of Kiev, prompting government snipers to shoot and kill scores of people. In Sochi, Canada beat the U.S. 3-2 in overtime to win its 4th straight Olympic women’s hockey gold.

Kolter was born in Sheridan, WY, on April 14, 1997, to Johnie Paterakis and Kolter Patrick Garner. He lived in Sheridan Jonathan most of his life and attended Sheridan Wayde schools. He played football, baseball, Garner and basketball. Kolter lived in Billings, MT, for a couple of years attending school there and working part time. In December of 2013, Kolter graduated from the Youth Challenge Academy in Dillon, MT, where his leadership skills were recognized and where he received awards for being an outstanding cadet. Kolter returned to Sheridan upon leaving the Youth Challenge Academy and attended Sheridan High School while living with his aunt Bobbie and uncle Van Wright. He worked for Killy's Deli in Sheridan and formed friendships with many of his coworkers. He always had a smile for everyone. Kolter loved being in the outdoors, especially spending time in the Big Horn Mountains and on many lakes and streams in Wyoming and Montana. He reported having a blast on the beach while vacationing in Cancun, Mexico with Van and Bobbie during the Christmas holiday. Kolter enjoyed many hunting, fishing and camping trips with “Papa” John Holwegner, his uncle Van, and other friends and family members. He enjoyed spending time with his family and friends, playing basketball and video games, and listening to his favorite music. Kolter had a large circle of friends and never met a stranger most of whom have a funny story or two about the time they spent with him. He was always there to lend a helping hand to others by listening, and offering advice and he was a great big brother to sisters Kaycie and Joelie.

Oklahoma City and Miami were two of the biggest winners on trade deadline day, making themselves not only strong enough to hold off the teams behind them, but perhaps challenge the ones way ahead. Even the powerful ones they could meet to open the postseason. The Heat were certainly talking big after acquiring Goran Dragic from Phoenix. “We are incredibly pleased to take anotherstep in getting the Miami Heat back to real championship prominence with the acquisition of Goran Dragic,” Heat President Pat Riley said. “Goran is an AllNBA player, including the Most Improved Player last season, and we felt that once he became available, we would do all that we could to acquire him.” Dragic had made it clear he wasn’t planning to re-sign in Phoenix, just as Reggie Jackson had made it known he wasn’t long for Oklahoma City. Rather than risk losing Jackson for nothing, the Thunder used him as one of the pieces to fill out their roster. He went to Detroit in a three-way trade with Utah that brought center Enes Kanter and forward Steve Novak from the Jazz, along with guard D.J. Augustin, forward Kyle Singler and a second-round pick from the Pistons. Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook were already going to make the Thunder dangerous if they qualified for the playoffs, even for NBA-leading Golden State. The moves they made Thursday had even one of their doubters thinking differently about them. “This was a team that made themselves a championship contender,” TNT analyst Charles Barkley said after the Thunder beat Dallas. “The big winner today was Oklahoma City. They went from a team being an 8 seed, now nobody wants to play this team.” Barkley had long discounted the Thunder as a team that could win a title — even when they played the Heat in the 2012 NBA Finals — because they didn’t have a lowpost presence on offense.

Raiders, Chargers plan possible shared home in the Los Angeles area LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Oakland Raiders and San Diego Chargers are planning a shared stadium in the Los Angeles area if both teams fail to get new stadium deals in their current hometowns, the teams said in a joint statement, adding another layer of complexity to a possible NFL return to the region. The proposed $1.7 billion stadium would be in Carson, 15 miles south of downtown Los Angeles and home to the Los Angeles Galaxy soccer team. Thursday night's statement says the teams have tried and failed for years to find stadium solutions in Oakland and San Diego, and without new agreements in those cities their hands will be forced. "We are pursuing this stadium option in Carson for one straightforward reason," the statement says. "If we cannot find a permanent solution in our home markets, we have no alter- native but to preserve other options to guarantee the future economic viability of our franchises." The plan creates the odd prospect of divisional rivals suddenly sharing a home field, and of Los Angeles having two NFL teams after going two decades with none. And it takes the muddled issue of the NFL's return to Southern California and makes it downright messy, with at least three viable stadium plans in the works. St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke is part of a joint venture to build an 80,000-seat stadium at the site of the former Hollywood Park horse track just 10 miles from Carson in Inglewood. And a plan remains alive for an NFL facility in downtown Los Angeles.

Cyril Hall told The Associated Press his client Bassel Saad plans to offer a plea of either guilty or no contest to involuntary manslaughter during a hearing Friday in Detroit. The prosecutor's office confirmed a plea was expected. Saad, 36, is charged with second-degree murder in the death of 44-year-old John Bieniewicz last summer. His trial had been scheduled to begin Monday in Wayne County Circuit Court. The auto mechanic from Dearborn would have faced up to life in prison if convicted as charged. "When you do the math, it didn't make sense to run the risk," Hall said. Kris Bieniewicz, the victim's wife, said earlier this week she hoped Saad "never sees the light of day." PICKLES FILE PHOTO | THE SHERIDAN PRESS Sheridan High School freshman Quinton Suska practices for the state tournament last fall at Sheridan High School. Suska traveled to Billings for a tournament over the weekend to continue training during the offseason. Suska takes second place in Billings FROM STAFF REPORTS SHERIDAN — Six junior tennis players traveled to Billings last weekend to compete in the Frostbite Tennis Tournament. Quinton Suska, Quinton Brooks, Jaxon Porterfield, Pacey Grover, Ethan Kutz and Julia Kutz all made the trip to Billings. While a number of Sheridan’s competitors reached the semifinals, Suska had the best showing of the six Sheridan athletes, making it to the finals before losing to Whitefish’s Ryan Frampton. Suska cruised through the first round before needing a tiebreaker to take down Billings’ Jaden Ostler to reach the semifinals. He took down Levi Collins of Bozeman 6-2, 6-4 before losing 6-4, 6-2 in the finals. Suska is a freshman at Sheridan High School and plays No. 1 doubles with Tristan Gamble on the school’s tennis team. He spends his time in the offseason practicing at the Wesleyan Church a couple times a week. NON SEQUITUR Such an outcome would let the world "know that justice was served, and John's life meant something," Bieniewicz said. Her husband was killed while refereeing an over-30 men's league match at Mies Park in Livonia. A number of players testified in court last year that Saad had been issued a yellow card, or an official warning, following a foul in the first half of the June 29 match, and John Bieniewicz was about to issue him a second yellow for being verbally abusive. That's when the referee was struck, the players said. Players are ejected if they are given two yellow cards in the same game. Bieniewicz died two days later. His widow recently testified at Michigan's Capitol about proposed legislation she supports that would make it a felony to assault a sports official in the state. Referees "are out there on an island with no one to defend them. Something more than a misdemeanor should be in place," she said. 0220_A Section Template 2/20/15 8:22 AM Page 1 B4 THE SHERIDAN PRESS BABY BLUES® by Jerry Scott and Rick Kirkman COMICS www.thesheridanpress.com FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2015 DRS. OZ & ROIZEN Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Michael Roizen MARY WORTH by Karen Moy and Joe Giella BORN LOSER® by Art and Chip Sansom A PARDON FROM JOE BEAN On the album "At Folsom Prison," Johnny Cash sings about Joe Bean, a career criminal headed to the gallows on his birthday for a shooting he could not have committed. His mamma knew he was miles away, robbing a train, but she couldn't get her son pardoned. Now there's another Joe Bean in town who might just be able to get you pardoned from a run-in with a deadly skin cancer. And there's no mistakin' this Joe: It's coffee. National Cancer Institute researchers recently investigated the association between coffee drinking and the risk of developing malignant melanoma. They looked at 447,357 cancer-free, nonHispanic whites and found that folks who downed four or more cups of caffeinated coffee per day had a 20 percent lower risk for malignant melanoma. So, for paleskinned folks anyway, coffee intake was clearly associated with a lowered risk of the most lethal form of skin can- cer. (Other studies have shown that black coffee made with a paper filter reduces the risk of eight other cancers as well as diabetes, Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease by more than 20 percent.) It's possible this is because coffee contains polyphenols and caffeine, which help keep the cancer-fighting powers of your immune system healthy so your DNA is protected from the sun's ultraviolet rays. The researchers also speculate that caffeine acts as a molecular sunscreen, absorbing UV rays, preventing sun damage from the inside out. So if you're cleared by your doc to consume caffeine, think of the good Joe Bean and drink to your health.

One afternoon, out of curiosity, I accessed his medical records. In his file it was noted that he is high risk for STDs. In fact, he was treated for two different ones some years back. I have been tested for STDs during all my annual physicals, and the results were always negative. I think it's because we often go for weeks without any sexual contact. What should I do with this information? How do I talk to him about it without letting him know that I'm aware of his medical history? -- CONCERNED IN MASSACHUSETTS DEAR CONCERNED: Unless you claim to be clairvoyant, I don't see how you can discuss this without admitting you accessed his medical records, which is against the law. Be prepared for him to be irate, because the best defense is a strong offense. You are lucky your husband hasn't given you an STD. By all means talk with him about this, if only to find out whether you have sex so infrequently because he's having relations with other people. Now that you know what has been going on, you have some serious thinking to do about staying in this marriage. DEAR ABBY: I had an abusive boyfriend who, I realized later, had abused his wife and children. After we broke up, my close friend and neighbor asked me if I'd mind if she went out with him. I initially said no, but after thinking about it, I thought how could she? She knew how he had treated me, pushing, shoving and isolating me from my friends. I had words with her about it, and she said she wasn't there, so she didn't know if it really happened. What kind of a woman wouldn't support me? He is over there often, and I live right next door. I am furious with her. Do I have a right to be? -- ALICE IN NEW MEXICO DEAR ALICE: Your friend must be desperate for male companionship, or incredibly naive in failing to recognize that what happened to you (and the man's former wife) won't also happen to her. Please don't waste your time being angry. You are lucky to be rid of your abuser and should be grateful you realized he was one before he caused you physical harm. DEAR ABBY: A woman I know has a husband who is deployed. I would like to send her a card offering support and love, to tell her how thankful I am for both of their sacrifices in the service of our country. Can you assist with wording and other ideas on how I can be supportive? She lives far away, so this will all be long distance. I don't want to come across wrong or say something that could offend. I ran across an article the other day on what NOT to say to military wives, and I'm afraid I may have committed a faux pas and don't want to do it again. -- CIVILIAN IN IOWA DEAR CIVILIAN: If you think you "may" have committed a breach of etiquette, pick up the phone, call the woman and offer an apology. Explain that you read an article about what not to say to military wives, and hope you didn't offend her. Offer to stay in touch -- if that's what she would like -- so you can let her know she and her husband are in your thoughts, and let her suggest other ways you might be helpful even though you are geographically distant.

Benson, an English author who was the 28th Master of Magdalene College, Cambridge, and whose father was the Archbishop of Canterbury from 1882 to 1896, said, "Very often a change of self is needed more than a change of scene." In yesterday's deal, declarer needed to finesse in clubs three times through his right-hand opponent. But since he had no other dummy entry left, that required, on the first round, leading the lowest club in the dummy that could win the trick. That is a reliable rule, but when a double finesse (two finesses in the same suit) is involved, a different approach might be needed. In this deal, West starts the defense against four spades with the club king and another club. After South ruffs at trick two, how should he continue? South's jump to game is reasonable, given the big trump fit. Declarer has five potential losers: two hearts, two diamonds and one club. He has only eight top tricks: seven spades and one heart. So, to make his contract, South needs to find East with at least one heart honor and the diamond ace. But that might require leading three times from the dummy: to take two heart finesses and to lead toward the diamond king. With only two trump entries, care is required. Declarer should cash his spade king, lead a spade to dummy's queen and play a low heart to his jack, not run the 10 or nine. cle on both sides of our can so no one can "mistakenly" take it.

Check with your neighbors to make sure someone didn't accidentally take your can by mistake. They all are green and look alike here in San Antonio, and someone might have grabbed it by mistake.

Here in San Antonio, that number is 311 to connect with almost every city agency. Some companies will replace the trash can at no charge, but if this continues, they most likely will charge you, and those cans are not cheap!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Stick to the sidelines. Thrill seekers might encourage you to participate in something that's not wellthought out, or something that might sidetrack you. Keep working on your own plan. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): You can't be too thin or too rich; likewise, you can't be too organized or careful under these stars. You can escape criticism if you buckle down to getting things accomplished. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Be caring without being critical. You may need to walk a fine line between being practical and remaining independent. It may be difficult to resist change without being considered stubborn. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The real test of character is not worldly conquest, but the courage with which you respond to hardship. Keep your money in your pocket and your thoughts to yourself for the next few days. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Some things are beyond understanding or can be understood but difficult to express. Someone might be vague or challenging to pin down. Remain observant to comprehend what lies beneath the surface. IF FEBRUARY 21 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: You might be feeling extremely sociable during the next three to four weeks. You may be tempted to avoid your obligations or distracted by an illusionary carrot at the end of a stick. Work hard, delay making major changes and decisions, and pay attention to the rules and regulations until the end of May. Be sure to ask for sound advice from trusted friends or companions because it's easy for you to mistake something of dubious value as the real thing. The best time to make a business or jobrelated decision is in late July, when your business sense is in top form, or in August when your judgment and luck are at a peak. 02/20/15Legals_Layout 1 2/20/15 8:26 AM Page 1 YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS | CITY John Heath Mayor 307-675-4223 Public Notices FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2015 www.thesheridanpress.com WHY PUBLIC NOTICES ARE IMPORTANT | Kristin Kelly Councilor 307-673-4751 Shelleen Smith Councilor 307-461-7082 Thayer Shafer Councilor 307-674-4118 Alex Lee Councilor 307-752-8804 Jesus Rios Councilor 307-461-9565 Kelly Gooch Councilor 307-752-7137 COUNTY Pete Carroll Treasurer 307-674-2520 Eda Thompson Clerk 307-674-2500 Nickie Arney Clerk of District Court 307-674-2960 John Fenn 4th Judicial District Court Judge 307-674-2960 William Edelman 4th Judicial District Court Judge 307-674-2960 Shelley Cundiff Sheridan County Circut Court Judge 307-674-2940 P.J.

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.

FROM B1 MLB makes small pace of game changes, passes on bigger steps for now NEW YORK (AP) — Major League Baseball is making some changes designed to speed games but won't implement more radical proposals this year. The league and the players' union announced an agreement Friday to enforce the rule requiring a hitter to keep at least one foot in the batter's box in most cases. MLB also will post stadium clocks timing pitching changes and between-inning breaks. MLB did not institute many of the ideas experimented with during the Arizona Fall League, such as a 20-second clock between pitches, a limitation of pitcher's mound conferences involving catchers and managers, and no-pitch intentional walks. The pitch clock will be used in the minor leagues at Double-A and Triple-A. Penalties for violating the new rules start May 1 and will involve only fines, and MLB said it is likely to announce only fines involving repeat flagrant violators. In the AFL, strikes and balls were called as penalties. "I think it's something that's going to take some time," San Diego Padres catcher Derek Norris said. "You've got guys playing for seven, eight years that have always stepped out of the box and taken a practice swing." MLB cannot make unilateral changes to playing rules without the union's consent unless it gives one year prior notice, so an agreement was necessary for any 2015 alterations. The World Umpires Association also approved. "The players believe that enforcing the rules that currently exist regarding between-inning breaks and plate appearances is the best way to address the issue of pace of play," union head Tony Clark said in a statement. "We're confident that today's announcements will have a positive impact on the pace of the game without jeopardizing the integrity of the competition." The average time of nine-inning games was a record 3 hours, 2 minutes last year, up from 2:33 in 1981. "These changes represent a step forward in our efforts to streamline the pace of play," said Rob Manfred, who took over from Bud Selig as commissioner last month. "The most fundamental starting point for improving the pace of the average game involves getting into and out of breaks seamlessly." The rule requiring hitter's keep a foot in the box contains many exceptions, including swinging at a pitch, getting forced out by a pitch, calling time, faking a bunt and wild pitches and passed balls. The clocks will be installed on or near outfield scoreboards and on facades behind home plate, near most press boxes. Inning breaks will be counted down from 2:25 for locally televised games and 2:45 for nationally televised games. Pitchers must throw their last warmup pitches before 30 seconds remaining, with exceptions if the pitcher or catcher is on base when the previous half-inning ends. MLB will make a donation to the union's charitable foundation based on compliance with the new rules. The sides also announced changes for the second season of expanded video review by umpires. Managers no longer will have to leave their dugouts to call for replays, unless the play in question ends an inning and the defensive team must be kept on the field. In addition, plays involving whether a runner left a base early or touched a base on a tagup play will be subject to video review for the first time.
