Wyoming Senate endorses balanced budget bill
CHEYENNE (AP) — A panel of Wyoming
lawmakers on Wednesday endorsed amending the U.S. Constitution to require the federal government to balance its budget —
provided that doing so doesn’t result in the
state losing mineral funds.
The Senate Rules and Procedures
Committee voted to join a number of states
calling for a balanced budget amendment.
However, the committee specified that
before Wyoming formally calls for the
amendment, it should get a guarantee that
it wouldn’t see a decline in federal mineral
revenues.
If a guarantee is not possible, they said
the state should insist on taking ownership
of federal lands within its borders other
than wilderness and national parks. The
measure now heads to the full Senate.
The full Senate later Wednesday voted to
endorse a separate bill that also cleared the
committee earlier in the day that seeks to
set limits on how state delegates to a constitutional convention could act.
SHERIDAN — The third
day of the Miranda Mraz
fraud trial ended Wednesday
with two motions for a mistrial after an inappropriate
line of questioning on the
part of the defense.
Defense attorney John
Robinson, in cross examining Stormy Redman, the
manager of the Firewater
Grill during Miranda Mraz’s
employment, asked about her
being fired from a previous
position for doctoring
receipts.
Redman had been working
at a restaurant in her teens,
about 10 years ago, and was
fired when she had doctored
receipts for larger tips. She
was never arrested, charged
or convicted of any crime.
Prosecuting attorney
Christopher LaRosa was
quick to object. The jury was
removed from the courtroom, and LaRosa motioned
for a mistrial, pointing out
how quickly a mistrial would
be declared if the prosecution had taken the same
direction with a defense witness.

GOING GREEN
Several recycling drop-off locations to remain
BY TRAVIS PEARSON
THE SHERIDAN PRESS
SHERIDAN — County residents may look at the city’s
upcoming recycling program
with a bit more envy than ecofriendliness at the moment, but
landfill administrators stress
those living outside city limits
will still see plenty of opportunities to go green as the project
commences this summer.
Sheridan County does not
plan to offer trash or recycling
collection, according to County
Public Works Director Rod
Liesinger. However, several
drop sites will remain open in
the city and surrounding
towns, and one private hauler
has committed to fee-based
pickup of recyclables, city
Solid Waste Manager Charles
Martineau said.
City managers continue planning for the roughly $700,000
program, called Curbcycle, following a resolution Feb. 17.
Under the initiative, Sheridan
will distribute 96-gallon bins to
residents for curbside collection twice a month at a monthly rate of $3 for residential and
individual container multi-family customers.
The program allows for comingling, meaning materials
including tin, aluminum,
paper, magazines, newsprint,
cardboard, paperboard and
plastic can go into bins for
pickup and sorting at the landfill.
The city tentatively anticipates beginning Phase 1 of the
program June 1, Sheridan Solid
Waste and Recycling
Coordinator Darla Franklin
said. As collection begins on
the north side of town, two of
the city’s 11 drop site locations
will close: the Thorne-Rider
Park skate park and Kmart.
Phase 2 — curbside pickup on
the south side of the city —
should begin Aug. 1, when
another three sites are slated
for removal: Kendrick Park, the
Senior Center and Wash Yer

Wooley’s.
The city will retain six dropoff points, which is important
not only for county residents
who bring recycling to
Sheridan, but also for anyone
disposing of glass, green waste,
e-waste and hazardous waste.
Those materials are not eligible
for curbside pickup.
Oatts Memorial Park and
Marshall Park will remain
available for green waste, and
Highland Park (1261 Highland
Ave.), Washington Park
(Coffeen Avenue next to the
Holiday Lodge), the recycling
center (1148 KROE Lane) and
the landfill (83 East Ridge Road
during operating hours) will
continue to accept recyclables.

residents can continue to drop off

House committee
favors cutting
uncompensated care bill
CHEYENNE (AP) — The House Appropriations
Committee has endorsed a bill that would provide funds to
cover a portion of hospitals’ uncompensated care.
But the committee on Wednesday also voted in favor of
reducing the amount of money that would be provided in
Senate File 145.
In its original form, the bill would have given hospitals
$10 million to help offset the costs of care to people who
can’t afford it.
The Senate cut that down to $5 million and added a provision requiring two-thirds of the money to be spent on rural
critical access hospitals, with the rest going to larger acute
care hospitals.
The Wyoming Tribune Eagle reports that the House
Appropriations Committee endorsed cutting it to $3.3 million.
The bill goes to the House floor for more debate.

SMH construction
plans move forward
FROM STAFF REPORTS
SHERIDAN — Several Sheridan Memorial Hospital
building projects are another step closer to completion
after the board of trustees approved schematic designs for
a medical office building and the construction document
phase for the intensive care unit.
The schematic design for the medical offices will cost the
hospital up to $167,000 while the intensive care unit’s construction designs will cost up to $307,000.
SMH CEO Mike McCafferty said the medical office buildings will be much easier to bring contractors to bid and
put a price on the construction costs. He added that the
ICU costs are likely higher because more of the work will
consist of interior construction on an older existing building.
The building designs are part of the hospital’s strategic
planning process which began in 2011.
Though the board’s approval to allocate funds for the
designs gets SMH closer to its goal of finalizing the projects, there is still no guarantee the buildings will be completed. However, McCafferty said the designs will help
push along the process and provide a visual of what the
building could look like.
“Now in the schematic design (phase), we can see how
the stakeholders, individuals who are in the current medical office building and individuals who are in the community … can participate in conversation about what this
space looks like and how does it relate to our existing
space,” McCafferty said.

Chesapeake Energy
not cutting
back in Wyoming
CASPER (AP) —
Chesapeake Energy
plans to cut spending
and shutter rigs at some
of its U.S. operations
this year, but not in
Wyoming’s Powder River
Basin.
In fact, Chesapeake’s
spending in Wyoming
will increase from 5 percent of the company’s
budget in 2014 to 10 percent in 2015.
The company said it
plans to operate three to
four rigs in the Powder
River Basin throughout
2015, roughly the same
as the four rigs averaged
during 2014.
The announcement
Wednesday represented
a positive for Wyoming’s
oil industry, which has
watched rig counts
plummet in recent
months.
The Casper StarTribune reports that the
news signaled that
Chesapeake remains
bullish on its prospects
in the Powder River
Basin despite the drop in
crude prices.

The People’s House
“You don’t build it for yourself. You
know what the people want and you
build it for them.”
— Walt Disney
T
he Wyoming Capitol was completed
in 1888 with the purpose of creating
a place where the people could participate in the legislative process.
Substantial additions were completed in
1890 and 1917. The last major renovation
was finished in 1980 and the building was
added to the National Historic Landmark
program in 1987. However, after 35 years,
the Capitol is once again in great need of
repair.
The list of required repairs is long.
There are structural repairs needing
attention and updates to mechanical and
electrical systems. ADA code requirements are in dire need of an update. The
building requires invasive restoration to
the historic features and the installation
of smoke detection, fire suppression and
smoke evacuation systems is required.
Twenty-five percent of the building has
no heating and cooling capability, piping
and plumbing systems are corroded, and
wiring is old and brittle. Committee
rooms are too small for public participation, restrooms and elevators are inadequate, and the building’s technology
capabilities are inadequate.
The health and safety of the Wyoming
citizens who visit the Capitol and the
legislators, elected officials and staff
who work in the building is of the
utmost importance. Making these
improvements is necessary. Research
and planning has been happening since
2003 to restore and renovate this building. Wyoming has been saving for years
to fund the renovation and the account
now has over $100 million in it. We are
now in the design development phase
and finalizing plans for temporary relocation during construction.
The Legislature has explored a host of
options for expansion, including building a new executive office building.
Renovating the Herschler building,
which neighbors the Capitol, turned out
to not only make the most financial
sense, but it allows for the creation of an
entire Capitol Square complex that keeps
all the legislative and executive offices
within a short walking distance and easily accessible to the people of Wyoming.

FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
“(The law) excessively restricts citizens’
basic rights, such as the right to determine sexual affairs.”
— A South Korean court abolishing a
62-year-old law that bans extramarital
affairs.
We are proud that Wyoming is consistently ranked the best run state in the
country. We have considered how to keep
the state running efficiently when
designing the layout for the renovated
Capitol. To allow for the highest level of
collaboration and to reduce possible
duplication of efforts, keeping office
staffs together was a high priority. The
layout of the offices brings together
staffs that are currently in different
buildings, as is the case of the governor
and treasurer’s staffs, as well as keeping
the Legislative Service Office personnel
in one building.
The creation of a Capitol Square, with
two buildings and the connector in
between, is central to tackling the larger
issue of making sure that there is room
for the public to participate in the legislative process. The Capitol will hold
more committee rooms that will be larger and will have improved technological
capabilities. There will be more space for
the public to attend meetings and be part
of the policy making process. We hope
that the updated technological capabilities will increase the overall accessibility of the legislative process to all
Wyoming citizens. The additional restrooms and more accessible elevators will
also increase the comfort of visitors.
While the renovation project will bring
the Capitol into the 21st century, specific
attention is being paid to restoring and
showcasing the historical aspects of the
building. The Capitol is one of only 24
Wyoming buildings on the National
Historic Landmark list. It is incredibly
important to protect the historic value
and features in the People’s House. The
building will continue to showcase
Wyoming’s rich and storied history.
We serve the people of Wyoming and
we are moving forward in this historic
process. We are working diligently to
give her citizens a Capitol that keeps
them safe and allows for them to be more
involved in the legislative process, while
restoring and highlighting the building’s
historical features and attributes. We are
stewards of the state’s resources and are
mindful of the responsibility that carries.

So the House speaker is leading from

news conference following a House GOP
caucus meeting Wednesday morning, he
was a bundle of nerves: He stroked the
hem of his jacket, rubbed his fingertips
together, licked his lips, pinched his nose
and allowed his famously moist eyes to
well with tears just before approaching the
microphone.
CNN’s Dana Bash asked Boehner
whether he is concerned that, if he passes
a Homeland Security bill without the
immigration provisions, “it will be the end
of your speakership.”
“I’m waiting for the Senate to act,”
Boehner replied.
Bash persisted: But was he concerned
about a rebellion in his own ranks?

“I’m waiting for the Senate to pass a bill.”
NBC’s Luke Russert asked him why he
hadn’t spoken with his Senate counterpart,
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.),
in two weeks.
Boehner reiterated his position that
“we’re waiting for the Senate to act.”
Politico’s Jake Sherman asked what he
thought about the merits of McConnell’s
plan to split the immigration issue from
the funding of DHS.
“I’m waiting for the Senate to pass a bill,”
Boehner repeated.
Will Congress avoid a government shutdown?
“I’m waiting for the Senate to act.”
Boehner began to walk away. “Do you
think the Senate should act?” Bash teased.
The speaker gave a brave smile.
Of course, everybody knows what the
Senate is going to do: Democrats, after
blocking passage of a bill that made DHS
funding contingent on undoing Obama’s
immigration policy, have agreed to support
McConnell’s plan to decouple the two. The
only question is what Boehner will do —
and conservatives are sharpening their
knives.
“I am not going to vote to fund unconstitutional conduct,” Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.)
said as he left the caucus meeting in the
Capitol basement. “Illegal aliens are undermining national security,” he added, accusing McConnell of “a breach of oath of

office and our fealty to the United States
Constitution.”
Rep. Matt Salmon (R-Ariz.) was livid:
“Voters believed that in November Harry
Reid was going to be dethroned and that
the Senate was going to be controlled by
Republicans, so I’m sad to say that hasn’t
happened.”
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), a leader of a
conservative House faction, said the bill
linking immigration to DHS funding
remained the House Republican position,
and Rep. John Fleming (R-La.) declared
that “we don’t plan to do anything” to
change it.
Furthermore, Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.)
announced he had spoken with two TSA
agents about a shutdown, “and they both
said: ‘Stay strong. We’ll be all right.’ ”
This left House higher-ups unnerved.
“We’re going to move this,” Rep. Pete
Sessions (R-Tex.), part of the leadership,
declared as he left the meeting. Move what?
“Uh, what, I think what John talked about.
He’s going to get together with people. . . . I
think we’re going to work through the
problems. And, um, I’m really not prepared
to say.”
Reporters surrounded Sessions and camera lights went on. “This is not what I
wanted at this point,” Sessions muttered.
“I’m just walking to my office, guys,” he
said. “John will cover that. Is that fair? It is
to me.”
But “John” didn’t do that. He and his
leadership team went to the microphones
to talk about — education. None of the six
lawmakers at the GOP news conference
mentioned the Homeland Security standoff
in their opening statements.
“When I had 4-H animals and I sold them,
I saved that money so I could go to school,”
disclosed Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (RWash.).
Said verbally challenged Majority Leader
Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.): “I have two
small kids that are now one in college and
one about to go to college.”
Reporters, however, did not care how
small McCarthy’s college-age kids are.
They wanted to know what Boehner was
going to do about immigration — and
Boehner was playing for time. “Until the
Senate does something, we’re in a waitand-see mode,” he said for the umpteenth
time — and he acknowledged that during
this waiting and seeing, he hadn’t spoken
with McConnell. “Listen, Senator
McConnell’s got a big job to do. So do I.”
Yes, and he can’t avoid doing it much
longer.

Jenkins to discuss Vietnam’s
underground caves
SHERIDAN — The University of Wyoming
World to Wyoming lecture series will feature
Mark Jenkins at 7 p.m. March 11 at the
Sheridan Junior High School Early Auditorium.
Jenkins, from National Geographic and UW,
will present “Vietnam underground: The Viet
Cong, spelunkers and the biggest cave on
earth.”
Hidden deep in the jungles of central
Vietnam, on the edge of the Truong Son
Mountains, is a network of massive caves.
Created by underground rivers cutting their
way through limestone, most of these caves
remain unexplored. In the past two decades, a
highly accomplished team of British spelunkers
have been penetrating ever deeper into these
gigantic caverns.
Jenkins was invited on an expedition to
descend into what would turn out to be the
largest cave ever discovered, Hang Son Doong.
Exploring this cave was so treacherous and difficult the team actually lived underground for
days to complete the first descent.
In his presentation, Jenkins will take the
audience across Vietnam — a vibrant country
finally thriving after decades of war — and into
the dark belly of the earth.
The event is free and open to the public.

Diversity champ Dori J. Maynard
changed American journalism
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — When Dori J.
Maynard was asked what her middle initial “J’’
stood for, she didn’t miss a beat in answering.
“Journalism,” she replied.
Her middle name was really Judith, but the
response was still appropriate. For Maynard,
journalism wasn’t just a part of her life, it was
her life.
Maynard, president of the Robert C. Maynard
institute for Journalism Education in Oakland
and longtime champion of diversity in journalism and civic life, died Tuesday at her West
Oakland home from complications from lung
cancer. She was 56.
Because of Maynard’s work, the “Fault Lines”
concept of diversity is taught at many U.S. journalism schools and is used as a framework in
newsrooms across America, said retired, former
Los Angeles Times editor Frank O. Sotomayor.
First developed by her late father, Robert C.
Maynard, a trailblazing journalist, it was Dori
Maynard who spent years holding training sessions and spreading the message that diversity is
not only about race and ethnicity, but also gender, class, age, generation, geographical location,
sexual orientation, religion and political views.
More than anything, friends and colleagues
said, Dori Maynard was a teacher.
“She was a journalist. She was a storyteller.
She was a business woman. She was a thought
leader,” said Martin G. Reynolds, senior editor
for community engagement at the Bay Area
News Group and a Maynard Institute board
member. “But when you peel all of that back,
really, she was a teacher. She was trying to teach
an industry about something that was important
for it to do its job. I think the best teachers are
people who can connect and make people feel as
though they are important and their views and
values are being heard.”
Bob Butler, president of the National
Association of Black Journalists, said Maynard
advocated tirelessly for the future of the institute and its programs, reminding everyone that
the work of bringing the diverse voices of
America into news and public discourse is more
vital than ever.
“Under her leadership, the Institute has
trained some of the top journalists in the country and helped newsrooms tell more inclusive
and nuanced stories,” he said.
The daughter of former Oakland Tribune
owner and publisher Robert C. Maynard, the
first African-American man to own a major U.S.
newspaper, Maynard knew from an early age she
wanted a life as a journalist.
“Her father was a huge influence on her, and I
think his legacy influenced her so much,” said
Reynolds, who called Maynard one of his best
friends.

History:
On Feb. 26, 1815, Napoleon
Bonaparte escaped from exile on
the Island of Elba and headed

On this date:
In 1829, Levi Strauss, whose
company manufactured the first
blue jeans, was born in
Buttenheim, Bavaria, Germany.
In 1904, the United States and
Panama proclaimed a treaty
under which the U.S. agreed to
undertake efforts to build a ship
canal across the Panama isthmus.
In 1919, President Woodrow
Wilson signed a congressional
act establishing Grand Canyon
National Park in Arizona.
In 1929, President Calvin
Coolidge signed a measure establishing Grand Teton National
Park in Wyoming.
In 1940, the United States Air
Defense Command was created.
In 1945, authorities ordered a
midnight curfew at nightclubs,
bars and other places of entertainment across the nation.
In 1952, Prime Minister
Winston Churchill announced
that Britain had developed its
own atomic bomb.
In 1962, after becoming the
first American to orbit the
Earth, astronaut John Glenn
told a joint meeting of Congress,
“Exploration and the pursuit of
knowledge have always paid dividends in the long run.”
In 1970, National Public Radio
was incorporated.
In 1987, the Tower
Commission, which had probed
the Iran-Contra affair, issued its
report, which rebuked President
Ronald Reagan for failing to control his national security staff.
In 1993, a truck bomb built by
terrorists exploded in the parking garage of New York’s World
Trade Center, killing six people
and injuring more than 1,000
others.
In 1995, Barings PLC,
Britain’s oldest investment banking firm, collapsed after Nick
Leeson, a 28-year-old securities
dealer, lost over $1.4 billion by
gambling on Tokyo stock prices.
In 2012, Trayvon Martin, 17,
was shot to death in Sanford,
Florida, during an altercation
with neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman, who
said he’d acted in self-defense.
(Zimmerman was subsequently
acquitted of second-degree murder.)
Ten years ago: Fifteen
months after Japan’s last liftoff
ended in a spectacular fireball,
an orange and white H-2A rocket
blasted off from a remote southern island, carrying a weather
and navigation satellite into
orbit. Egyptian President Hosni
Mubarak ordered his country’s
constitution changed to allow
presidential challengers in an
upcoming fall election. A fragment of granite bearing the
name “John” — all that
remained of a memorial to the
six people killed in the 1993 terror attack on the World Trade
Center — was installed as the
central piece of a new post-9/11
memorial.
Five years ago: New York Gov.
David Paterson announced he
wouldn’t seek re-election amid a
criminal investigation over his
handling of a domestic violence
complaint against a top aide.
(Investigators found no evidence
of witness tampering.) At the
Vancouver Olympics, the
Americans reached 34 medals
with a silver and a bronze in
short-track speedskating.
One year ago: President
Barack Obama, speaking in St.
Paul, Minnesota, said he would
ask Congress for $300 billion to
update aging roads and railways.
Republican Arizona Gov. Jan
Brewer vetoed a bill pushed by
social conservatives that would
have allowed people with sincerely held religious beliefs to
refuse to serve gays.

BUDGET: Cutting funding in recent years
FROM 1
Wyoming lawmakers are concerned that
voting at any constitutional convention be
structured so each state gets a single vote,
not a proportional vote according to their
population. Wyoming is the least populous
state.
The Center on Budget Policy and
Priorities in Washington, D.C., said 25
states have passed formal resolutions calling for a constitutional convention for a
balanced budget amendment. South Dakota
lawmakers approved one of those resolutions last week.
It would take resolutions from 34 states to
trigger a constitutional convention while
any resulting amendment would have to be
approved by 38 states.
The committee on Wednesday split along
party lines, 3-2, with Republicans in the
majority voting for the resolution and the
related bill seeking to restrict convention
delegates from considering or voting on
any elements of the Constitution other
than what the state instructed them to do.
Senate President Sen. Phil Nicholas, RLaramie, served as committee chairman.
Speaking after the committee meeting, he
said the measure would send a message to
the state’s congressional delegation and to
other states that Wyoming is deeply con-
cerned about the issue of the national debt.
Wyoming, the nation’s least populated
state with just under 600,000 people, is a
national leader in energy production, much
of it coming from federal lands. The state,
which imposes no personal or corporate
income tax, relies heavily on mineral taxation to fund government and has billions
left over in savings.
Congress in recent years has cut funding
it had promised Wyoming to fund programs
involving abandoned land mines and other
issues.
“By perception, because we have a balanced budget, and because we’re doing certain things with our budget, there’s a misperception by others that we have hordes of
resources, which we don’t have,” Nicholas
said.
Sen. Chris Rothfuss, D-Laramie, said during the meeting that he disagreed with trying to address the national debt through a
constitutional amendment.
He said Congress ought to take action to
address the debt. He said a balanced budget
amendment could hurt national security.
“We can print money in national currency that the world respects,” Rothfuss said.
“That’s a strong skill, and honestly it was
our debt that allows us to win World War II.
We wouldn’t have won if we weren’t able to
run that debt up massively in a short peri-

MRAZ: Trial continues despite trouble
FROM 1
Judge John Fenn decided not to
declare a mistrial but instructed the
jury that the question about Redman’s
firing was stricken from the record and
would not be considered in deliberations. Robinson was then allowed to continue his cross examination.
After two or three more questions,
Robinson asked Redman to verify she
had been hired by the Firewater Grill
only five months before being convicted
of “dealing drugs” in that very courtroom. LaRosa again motioned for a mistrial at a bench conference, and, again,
Fenn opted to have the question stricken
from the record and asked the jury to
disregard it.
Robinson reworded the question and
asked Redman if she had been convicted
for conspiracy to deliver methamphetamines.
“Yep, right here in this courtroom,”
Redman said. “I’ve just celebrated my
third year being clean.”
Bartender Jandy Perez also testified
Wednesday. She spoke about the way
servers reconciled their bills at the end
of each shift.
She confirmed that, during the time
they’d worked together, she’d had conversations with Mraz about Mraz’s
financial difficulties.
Robert Romeo, the general manager of
Greenland Hospitalities during Mraz’s
employment, was also called to the
stand Wednesday.
Greenland Hospitalities includes the
Trails End Motel, Stagestop Motel,
Firewater Bar and Grill and other
Sheridan properties.
Romeo said that he was asked by
Firewater Grill manager Robert Green
to investigate all employees after complaints about Mraz were received. He
told the court he found two employees
with questionable transactions. One was
Mraz, who had several questionable
transactions, and one was another server who had one questionable transaction.
Romeo said Mraz was confronted but
became upset and insisted she did nothing wrong. Romeo said he continued his
investigation and found more questionable transactions on Mraz’s server number. Green decided that Mraz should be
fired and the results of Romeo’s investigation should be turned over to authorities.
The rest of the day was spent going
over a large number of exhibits, showing numerous receipts that represented
transactions Romeo said he had found to
be suspicious and had handed over to
the police.
About midway through the day, the
court was informed of an inadvertent
encounter between a female juror and
Mraz’s father at a store. The court was
told the juror approached Mraz’s father
when she saw him, but he said he couldn’t talk to her and walked away. The
incident was the fourth problem with
either jurors or witnesses in three days
of trial.
Fenn informed the jurors that the trial
might run into next week and may
include testimony on Saturday.

The landfill also accepts refuse from
recycling trailers around the county. Each
of the following locations will remain open
(with 2014 recycling totals in parentheses):
• Forest Service (1,895 pounds)
• Big Horn (3,431 pounds)
• The Ranch at Ucross (4,384 pounds)
• Veterans Affairs Medical Center (42,561
pounds)
• Clearmont (7,596 pounds)
• Powder Horn (40,370 pounds)
• Story (54,097 pounds)
• Ranchester (41,260 pounds)
• Dayton (64,853 pounds)
The 260,447 pounds, or 130.22 tons, the
outlying towns collected makes up about 7
percent of the landfill’s 2014 total recycling
collection — 1,824 tons.
Currently, only 30-40 percent of the landfill’s waste is diverted. Those are materials
city staff can reuse or recycle. Of that
total, household recyclables make up only
9 percent.
“Because a lot of what people are throwing away could be recycled,” Franklin said,
“it’s going up to the landfill because it’s
coming in bagged through the trash
trucks.”
Sheridan staff hope to increase household recycling totals to 50 percent.
BuRec to fluctuate North
Platte River flows to help trout
RAWLINS (AP) — The Bureau of
Reclamation has scheduled a series of fluctuating flows in the North Platte River
downstream of Gray Reef Dam.
The action is being done at the request of
the Wyoming Game and Fish Department
to improve trout reproduction in the river.
Game and Fish Chief of Fisheries Mark
Fowden said that the fluctuations act as a
kind of flushing that will clean the gravel
at the river’s bottom.
“Cleaning the gravel creates more living
spaces for the insects trout eat,” Fowden
told the Rawlins Daily Times. “Cleaner
gravel also gives trout an area to spawn.”
The result will be more and bigger trout,
he said.
Game and Fish started flushing rivers in
1995 and saw a five to six pound increase in
trout per mile.
When the action is started flows in the
river below Gray Reef Dam will fluctuate
from 500 cubic feet per second (cfs) to 4,000
cfs beginning March 9.
The schedule is repeated daily until
March 18. The schedule may be modified
depending on river ice conditions. After the
flushing is completed, the flow below Gray
Reef Dam returns to 500 cfs.
The public is urged to use caution during
this period of rapid fluctuation of flows
below Gray Reef Dam.
SHERIDAN — A bill that would have
repealed the current restrictions of
most gun-free zones recognized throughout the state of Wyoming now calls for
more local control of concealed weapons
after the Senate Education Committee
significantly amended House Bill 114 on
Wednesday.
Under current state law, gun-free
zones are established in schools, college
campuses and many government buildings, banning all weapons, even those
carried by residents in possession of a
Concealed Carry License.
The three-page bill — originally called
the “Wyoming Repeal Gun Free Zones
Act,” now called “Gun-free zone modifications” — created exceptions to that
law allowing the carrying of concealed
weapons by permit holders in most all
public locations.
Lead sponsor Rep. Allen Jaggi, RLyman, said gun-free zones are a public
safety risk because the only people who
have guns in those places are potential
criminals.
The amended version — which is now
14 pages long — calls for the decision on
whether or not to allow concealed
weapons to be made by the board overseeing each governmental entity or
school.
Wyoming State Superintendent of
Public Instruction Jillian Balow, a selfproclaimed gun owner and hunter, stated before the committee meeting
Wednesday that the decisions on gun
control should be made at the local level.
Dozens of other people spoke to the
committee both supporting and opposing the original version of the bill
including opponents from the
University of Wyoming, the Wyoming
Education Association and several local
boards, proponents from the National
Rifle Association and a group called
Students for Concealed Carry.
The largest group of opponents since
the bill’s inception has been those representing education in the state, and WEA
President Kathy Vetter testified against
the bill Wednesday on the group’s
behalf.
The official position of the WEA on
the issue states, "The WEA believes that
students and educational personnel
have the right to a safe environment and
that parents have the right to expect students to be safe at school. We therefore
support legislation to continue to make
schools, college/university campuses
and satellite locations weapon-free, with
the exception of authorized personnel,
and to impose severe and appropriate
penalties for violations thereof and for
violent acts perpetrated against students or school personnel.”
Following the decision to amend
HB114, bill co-sponsor Rep. Garry
Piiparinen, R-Evanston, asked for his
name to be stricken as a sponsor stating
that the bill is not an amended bill but
rather a replacement bill no longer
resembling the original.
The amended bill will now head to the
Senate floor for introduction.
Other movement made in education bills this week
includes:
• the State education accountability and assessment bill (Senate File 8ENG) passed out of the House
Education Committee, with amendments Wednesday. The summer school intervention and remediation bill (SF74), and the charter school eligibility-bonus payments bill (SF91) also passed out of committee.
• the worker's compensation for special education teachers bill (HB138ENG) passed second reading in
the Senate, with an amendment, Wednesday.
• the distance education task force bill (HB11ENG) passed third reading in the Senate Wednesday.
• the education-school safety and security bill (HB144ENG) passed second reading in the Senate
Tuesday.
• a Joint Conference Committee was scheduled for the Next Generation Science Standards-2 bill
(HB23), and the development of education standards bill (HB73) Tuesday.
• the education-writing assessment bill (HB159ENG) and the Hathaway scholarships-exceptions from
requirements bill (HB231) both passed third reading in the Senate Tuesday.
• the career and technical grants bill (SF121) was amended and passed out of the House Corporations,

GOP claims paper
shows fed aides’ preps
for health law loss
WASHINGTON (AP) — A leading House Republican
claimed Thursday that he’s been told of a 100-page document showing the Obama administration is preparing
contingency plans in case the Supreme Court invalidates federal subsidies that help millions of Americans
afford health care coverage.
Rep. Joseph Pitts, R-Pa., provided no details about the
paper and did not say if he has actually seen it. At a
hearing of a House health subcommittee that he chairs,
Pitts said he had received information about it from “a
source” in the Health and Human Services
Department.
Sylvia Burwell, the Health and Human Services
Secretary, told Pitts at the hearing that she was
unaware of such a document.
Congressional Republicans have been angered for
weeks as administration officials have not directly
answered whether they are planning for a possible loss
in the court case. Burwell has said the administration
believes it will win the case and that no administrative
actions could solve the problems that would result
should it lose.
Such responses have not helped the GOP-controlled
Congress. Should the court nullify the subsidies, many
lawmakers will feel pressure to propose a way to help
the millions of voters who could suddenly find their
health care unaffordable.

Senate panel OKs Obama attorney general pick
WASHINGTON (AP) — Loretta
Lynch won approval from a key
Senate committee Thursday to serve
as the nation’s next attorney general, as divided Republicans clashed
over her support for President
Barack Obama’s immigration policies.
The 12 to 8 vote in the Judiciary
Committee sent Lynch’s nomination
to the full Senate. Three Republicans
joined all committee Democrats in
voting “yes.”
“The case against her nomination,
as far as I can tell, essentially
ignores her professional career and
focuses solely on about six hours
that she spent before this committee,” said Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah,
as he criticized fellow Republicans
for using Lynch’s testimony in support of Obama’s executive actions
on immigration as a reason to
oppose her nomination.
Timing is uncertain, but Lynch is
all but assured approval by the full
Senate as well, under new rules that
will require only a majority vote
instead of the 60-vote margin
required for most legislation.
But she appears unlikely to win
confirmation resoundingly, as
Thursday’s debate demonstrated
that many Republicans will oppose
her over Obama’s executive actions
granting work permits and deportation stays for millions of immigrants in the United States illegally.
“We should not confirm someone
to that position who intends to continue that unlawful policy,” said Sen.
Jeff Sessions, R-Ala.
Lynch, 55, now serves as U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New
York. She would replace Eric Holder
and become the first black woman to
hold the nation’s top law enforcement job.

Northeast Wyoming rivalry
Sheridan, Gillette
face off Friday
BY MIKE PRUDEN
THE SHERIDAN PRESS
SHERIDAN — Gillette. Sheridan. That’s
all you really have to say to get the blood
pumping in the veins of basketball fans in
Sheridan County. It’s a rivalry that rarely
disappoints, and tomorrow’s matchup
between the two schools should be as
intense as ever.
There will be a lot at stake in the gym at
Sheridan High School Friday night, and
both boys coach Gale Smith and girls
coach Jessica Pickett understand the
importance of the matchups.
For Pickett and the Lady Broncs,
Friday’s game is the biggest of the season,
and the cards are continuing to stack
against them.
The Sheridan girls have made it this far
into the season with just one loss, despite
losing one of their top scorers, Taylor
Townsend, to a season ending knee injury.
Sheridan’s only loss came to Billings
Senior all the way back in December, and
the Lady Broncs have rattled off 16straight wins since then.
A big reason for that winning streak has
been junior Robbi Ryan. Ryan leads the
team in every offensive category, and is in
at least the top three in each category in
the conference.
But Wednesday evening, Ryan was in
street clothes and a walking boot while
her teammates went through practice.
Ryan sprained her ankle in the final minutes of Sheridan’s win over Cheyenne
South last Saturday, and she will miss
Yankees’ Masahiro Tanaka
throws in bullpen for third time
Friday’s game against Gillette.
“That’s the story of our season,” Pickett
said. “Everybody’s role just changed
again. That’s hard to keep asking people
to do different things than they’ve been
doing all season.”
The pressure for Friday keeps mounting, too. It’s Gillette; it’s a rivalry game.
It’s also senior night and the final regular
game of the season. Besides all of that,
the top seed in the conference is all but
locked up, and it isn’t hard to guess the
two teams who are fighting for that spot.

Fresno State edges Wyoming 64-59
LARAMIE (AP) — Marvelle Harris
scored 23 points and grabbed five
rebounds as Fresno State edged
Wyoming 64-59 on Wednesday night.
Julien Lewis had 13 points and Paul
Watson added eight for the Bulldogs
(13-15, 8-7 Mountain West
Conference), who remain in sixth
place in the conference. Wyoming (217, 10-5) falls into a fourth-place tie
with Utah State.
The lead changed hands eight times
and no more than four points separat-
ed the teams in the second half until
a Lewis layup gave Fresno State a 5954 lead with 2:19 to play. An Alex
Davis dunk made it 61-57 with 18 seconds remaining and the Bulldogs held
on for the win.
Wyoming's Riley Grabau sank a
pair of 3-pointers and Josh Adams hit
another to start the first half, but the
Cowboys saw their lead erode as
Fresno State went up 18-15 on an
Emmanuel Owootoah 3 and the
Bulldogs led 25-21 at halftime.
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — New York Yankees
right-hander Masahiro Tanaka threw 40
pitches in his third bullpen session and could
be ready to pitch batting practice for the first
time early next week.
Tanaka missed 2 1/2 months last season
with a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. He returned for two
starts in late September, and Boston chased
him with an eight-run second inning in his
final outing.
“I was throwing with more force than the
last bullpen,” Tanaka said Thursday through
an interpreter. “As far as hitting the spots as
location goes, I think it was better than the
last bullpen as well. I feel that I’m on track. It
gives me confidence that I’m moving in the
right direction.”

Ex-Louisville guard Jones pleads not guilty to rape, sodomy
FROM STAFF REPORTS
SHERIDAN — Zuzana
Talackova was making it rain
on Tuesday, and an efficient
offensive night propelled the
Sheridan College Lady
Generals past Eastern
Wyoming College 75-70 to
close out the regular season.
Despite the conference season ending last Saturday,
Sheridan had one more game
on their schedule before the
conference tournament kicks
off this weekend, and they got
some of the best production
from the team’s starting rotation.
It was Talackova who filled
up the basket early, as her six
3-pointers gave Sheridan a 14point lead at halftime.
The Lady Generals shot 49
percent from the field, 47 percent from three and 83 percent
from the charity stripe.
Talackova finished the game
with 18 points and 11
rebounds. Tiana Hanson finished with 20 and eight, Sierra
Toms added 17 and nine and
Tamara Brine added 14 points.
Sheridan’s next stop is
Scottsbluff, Nebraska, for the
Region IX tournament. They
will open the tournament
against McCook Community
College next Wednesday at 3
p.m.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Former Louisville guard Chris Jones
pleaded not guilty Thursday to charges of rape and sodomy, days after
being dismissed from the team.
Jones, 23, appeared in Jefferson District Court before Judge Sheila
Collins immediately after turning himself in to authorities. He was
released to home incarceration. He did not speak during the brief
hearing.
His attorney, Scott Cox, said Jones is cooperating with the police
investigation.
“We believe this gentleman is innocent and he’s been falsely
accused, and he’s going to be found not guilty,” he said. “We understand there’s video potentially in the hallway of the building where
this allegedly occurred also video out in the parking lot. We believe
those videos will be exculpatory to Mr. Jones.”
He declined to comment on where the alleged rape happened.
Jones has withdrawn from classes at the university and has moved
out of the athletic dorm and into a hotel room, Cox said.
It’s the latest turn over nine tumultuous days for Jones, who was
dismissed from the team Sunday. That came three days after he was
reinstated following a one-game suspension on Feb. 17 for violating an
unspecified team rule. Coach Rick Pitino said Jones returned to the
team after meeting unspecified conditions for reinstatement.
Jones then scored 17 points in Saturday’s victory over Miami before
his dismissal was announced a day later in a one-sentence release saying there would be no comment.
Criminal complaints sworn out by University of Louisville Police
Detective John Tarter say the allegations involved two women and
that the rape is said to have occurred Feb. 22.
Two others are charged in the alleged attack on the second woman.
Jalen D. Tilford is charged with rape and sodomy, and Tyvon Julah
Walker is charged with rape. They were arrested and the judge set a
bond of $75,000 for Tilford and $100,000 for Walker.
A Louisville campus police report obtained Monday stated that
Jones, a Memphis native, sent a woman a text threatening to “smack”
her on Feb. 17. No charges were filed against Jones, but he was suspended from the team hours later and did not travel with Louisville to
a game at Syracuse.
Jones’ dismissal left the No. 17 Cardinals without their assists
leader (3.7 per game) and No. 3 scorer (13.7 points). They beat Georgia
Tech 52-51 Monday night without him.

Kevin Garnett a
winner in emotional
return to Wolves
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — All the years he’d been gone
and all the thunderous standing ovations he received
when he returned to Target Center with the Celtics and
Nets, and Kevin Garnett still never fully realized just
how much the Minnesota fans loved the franchise’s
biggest star.
Wearing that old No. 21 on his back for the first time in
nearly eight years, Garnett’s ears were finally open. And
these Timberwolves fans who have suffered for so long
since he was traded to Boston in 2007 unleashed a welcome home celebration so loud and so heartfelt that it
finally hit home.
Garnett made an ear-splitting return to Minnesota and
his Timberwolves overcame a jittery start to beat the
Washington Wizards 97-77 on Wednesday night.
Garnett, reacquired in a trade from Brooklyn last
week, had five points on 2-for-7 shooting with eight
rebounds and two blocks in 19 minutes in his first game
for Minnesota since 2007. But this night was never about
his numbers or the result of the game. It was about welcoming a family member back home after a hiatus that
had stretched for far too long.
“I’ve been back before and I never paid attention to
how much love is here still for me because I’m too busy
being focused on the game,” Garnett said about his previous games at Target Center with Boston and Brooklyn.
“And tonight it was just over the top.
“I did not know the city missed me like this. I don’t
think that you can ever wish or ever think the city loves
you like this. But to see it is reality and I’m very appreciative.”
Garnett spent his first 12 seasons in Minnesota, getting
drafted as a skinny high-schooler in 1995 and growing
into a 10-time All-Star, an MVP, and the man most
responsible for putting the woebegone Timberwolves
franchise on the map.
He was traded to Boston in 2007, and the hard feelings
threatened to spoil the relationship between the Wolves
and the face of their franchise.
But in one night, any of those lingering resentments
were buried under an avalanche of standing ovations,
serenades of “KG! KG! KG!” and nostalgic videos that
highlighted all the memories Garnett formed with the
team, and the fans, in his first tour here.
“That game was a tribute to the great Kevin Garnett,”
said Kevin Martin, who scored 28 points. “He helped us
get through the nerves in the first quarter and we took
off from there.”
Andrew Wiggins had 19 and Nikola Pekovic added 15
points and 13 rebounds for the Wolves, who trailed by 15
early after Garnett’s stirring reintroduction.
The lights went out and a goose-bump-inducing video
was played showing Garnett highlights, whipping the
crowd into a frenzy as Kanye West’s “Homecoming”
blared on the speakers. Garnett sat on the bench with
his head down the entire time, but popped up as his
name was announced and a thunderous ovation rained
down from the 19,856 in attendance.
“I looked into the crowd and saw my friends and family,” Garnett said. “I’m glad my daughters were here to
see that. It was just a special time. I can’t even put it into
words.”
All the energy may have been a little too much for the
Wolves early. They missed 13 of their first 14 shots and
fell behind 18-3.
Target Center has been so quiet during the 7 1/2 years
Garnett was away. The Wolves were 187-426 since trading
him, never once sniffing a playoff berth.
They are still just 13-43 this year, in last place in the
Western Conference. But with Garnett back in the fold
and a promising young core including Wiggins, Ricky
Rubio and Gorgui Dieng, it’s starting to become cool to
like the NBA in this town again.
“I was jealous about this crowd,” Rubio said. “I want
this crowd every day. We have to give this crowd a reason. We’re hungry. We’re never going to cry. ... I think
we’re on the right path.”
The night ended with Garnett stuffing one last Wizards
possession, hollering to the crowd that “It’s over! It’s
over!” and leaving to chants of “KG! KG! KG!”
“I thank everybody who came out and showed love,”
Garnett said. “To the city, I’m happy to be here and hoping we can get some more wins and give this city something to be excited about.”

TIP-INS
Wizards: Marcin Gortat had nine points and 15
rebounds for the Wizards, who have lost five in a row
and 10 of their last 12. John Wall had five points on 2-for10 shooting and 10 assists, and Paul Pierce missed the
game with a bruised knee. ... Kris Humphries left the
game in the second quarter and did not return because
of a strained left hamstring.
Timberwolves: The 77 points allowed were a seasonlow for the Wolves. ... Blasts from the Wolves’ past were
everywhere, including Jiggly Boy, a burly fan who takes
his shirt off and dances during breaks. This time he had
“Welcome Back KG” written on his chest, and Garnett
saluted him and chuckled.

McIlroy looking to keep momentum to the Masters
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. (AP) —
Fans stood three-deep and formed a corridor from the 18th green at PGA National as
they tried to get an autograph, a picture or
even a close look at Rory McIlroy. Moments
later, another group of fans pressed
against him with souvenir flags to sign as
McIlroy left a conference room.
The attention comes with being the No. 1
player in golf, the apparent heir to Tiger
Woods. McIlroy is used to this by now. He
has been the best player in the world since
August, filling the void of a sport looking
for a dominant figure.
“This is the position I want to be in,”
McIlroy said Wednesday. “And I want to be
in it as long as I can.”
It’s only going to get more chaotic.
McIlroy competes on American soil for
the first time in five months when the
Honda Classic begins on Thursday. The
palm trees and tropical warmth of south
Florida are the sure signs that the Masters
is around the corner. McIlroy, who blew a
four-shot lead in the final round at Augusta
National in 2011, goes there with a chance
to become only the sixth player to capture
the career Grand Slam.
Like other players, the 25-year-old will
venture up to Augusta to practice in the
coming month. The real preparation is to
play good golf, and to allow that confidence
to become momentum that he can carry to
the first major of the year.
‘If you’re confident and you’ve had
good performances, that confidence
seems to carry on.’
Rory McIlroy
Professional golfer
“People talk about momentum and talk
about sort of riding it, but I think momentum and confidence are two very similar
things in golf,” McIlroy said. “If you’re
confident and you’ve had good performances, that confidence seems to carry on. And
if you’re happy with how practice goes,
then you’re obviously going to be confident
going into tournaments. So that’s sort of
how I’m feeling right now. And try to keep
that feeling for as long as I can.”
It seems like it’s been a long time already.
McIlroy still isn’t anywhere near the roll
Woods enjoyed during his peak years.
Going into the 2000 Masters, for example,
Woods won 11 times in 19 starts and only
twice finished out of the top 10. No one was
close to him.
In his last 12 starts worldwide dating to
the British Open, McIlroy has four victories (including back-to-back majors and a
World Golf Championship), four runner-up
finishes and has finished out of the top 10
two times.
In his last six tournaments, he has finished no worse than second place in all but
one tournament, the Australian Open. So
yes, he’s going along quite nicely.
The obstacle at the Honda Classic might
be rust.
McIlroy hasn’t played since winning the
Dubai Desert Classic on Feb. 1. He got past
one potential distraction when he settled a
court case involving his former management company. He has been home in south
Florida the last three weeks, practicing
and playing and trying to stay on this roll
during an important part of the season.
McIlroy won the Honda Classic in 2012,
the first time he rose to No. 1 in the world.
A year ago, he was poised to win again
until he stumbled on the back nine at PGA
National, only to hit 5-wood into 10 feet on
the final hole for a two-putt birdie to get
into a four-man playoff. Russell Henley
won on the first extra hole. McIlroy didn’t
really get going until a few months later,
but he’s been tough to beat ever since.
“He’s the best player in the world,”
Rickie Fowler said. “And when he’s driving
the ball well, that’s when he’s deadliest. So
he did a good job of putting himself in play
last year and obviously hits longer than a
lot of guys, too.”
Woods isn’t around. He said two weeks
ago he wouldn’t return to competition until
his game was in tournament shape. So far,
that’s just one tournament — the Honda
Classic — though the attention on the
absence of Woods is sure to ratchet up if
he misses Bay Hill.
McIlroy is mixing up his schedule slightly this year. He’ll be at the WGC event next
week at Doral and then play the Arnold
Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill for the first
time, making it likely he will have two
weeks off for Augusta.
The Masters, at the moment, is not on his
mind.
“I feel like I’ve got a nice schedule going
into Augusta,” McIlroy said. “I’m not playing too much, but I’m playing just enough
that I should be as sharp as possible going
in there. I haven’t thought about it. What I
really thought about over the past couple of
weeks is getting ready for these events
coming up, and trying to play as well as I
possibly can in those. So that gives me a little confidence going into a little break to
prepare as well as I can for Augusta.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Too nervous to look, too
stunned to dance, James Hahn won the Northern
Trust Open for his first PGA Tour title Sunday by
holing a 25-foot birdie putt on the third extra hole at
Riviera.
In a wild finish off Sunset Boulevard just as the
Academy Awards was getting started, Hahn wound
up with the trophy against a field of far bigger
names to earn his first trip to the Masters.
He got up-and-down from behind the 18th green in
regulation to save par for a 2-under 69. And that
turned out to be good enough for a playoff when
Dustin Johnson missed a 10-foot birdie putt for the
win. Johnson closed with a 69.
Paul Casey joined them in the playoff at 6-under
278 when he made bogey on the 18th hole for a 68.
Sergio Garcia finished bogey-bogey for a 71 to finish one shot out of the playoff. Jordan Spieth, thinking he needed birdie to get to 7 under for a playoff,
nearly holed his aggressive chip on the 18th, and
then missed the 6-foot par putt coming back. He
shot 70 and missed the playoff by one, as did
Keegan Bradley (68) and Hideki Matsuyama (67).
All three players made par on the 18th in the playoff, and then headed to the 10th hole, 310 yards of
endless trouble. Casey was in the best shape just
left of the green, hit a good chip to 15 feet and
missed his putt. Hahn and Johnson were in the
rough behind the green and both hit daring flop
shots over the back bunker that turned out perfectly.
Hahn made his birdie from 10 feet, and Johnson
matched him from 3 feet.
On the par-3 14th hole, Hahn pumped his fist when
his 25-foot putt broke gently to the right and into the
cup. He kept his head down when Johnson stood
over his 12-foot birdie try to extend the playoff, looking up only when he heard the groans instead of a
cheer.
A shoe salesman as he tried to find his way in golf,
Hahn was best known until now for his “Gangnam
Style” celebration of his birdie two years ago on the
16th hole at the Phoenix Open.
WOMEN’S AUSTRALIAN OPEN
MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — New Zealand’s
Lydia Ko won the Women’s Australian Open in her
second start at No. 1 in the world, closing with a 2under 71 for a two-stroke victory over South Korea’s
Amy Yang.
The 17-year-old Ko finished at 9-under 283 at Royal
Melbourne. She has six LPGA Tour titles, three last
year after winning the Canadian Women’s Open the
previous two years as an amatuer.
Yang closed with a 72. Thailand’s Ariya Jutanugarn,
tied for the lead with Ko entering the round, had a
76 to finish five strokes back.
GATEWAY CLASSIC
MESA, Ariz. (AP) — Hannah O’Sullivan became
the youngest winner in Symetra Tour history, shooting a 3-under 69 for a four-stroke victory in the season-opening Gateway Classic.
The 16-year-old O’Sullivan, a junior at nearby
Chandler Hamilton, broke the age record of 17 set
by Cristie Kerr in 1995 in Gainesville, Florida.
O’Sullivan is the first amateur winner since Kellee
Booth in 1999 in Riverside, California.
O’Sullivan finished at 15-under 201 at Longbow.
Haley Italia was second. She birdied two of the last
three holes for a 69.
INDIAN OPEN
NEW DELHI (AP) — India’s Anirban Lahiri won the
Hero Indian Open for his second European Tour
title in 15 days, beating countryman Shiv
Chowrasia with a birdie on the first hole of a playoff.
Lahiri, the Malaysian Open winner Feb. 8, closed
with a 2-under 69 to match Chowrasia at 7-under
277 on Delhi Golf Club’s Lodhi Course. Chowrasia
finished with a 76.

Jockey Jerry Lambert, 3-time
Hollywood Gold Cup winner, dies
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jerry Lambert, a
leading jockey on the Southern California
circuit in the 1960s and ‘70s who rode
Native Diver to three consecutive
Hollywood Gold Cup victories, has died. He
was 74.
He was found dead Monday at Magali
Farms in Santa Ynez, California, where he
worked, according to daughter Lacey, who
also works at the breeding and training
facility. Santa Anita Park in suburban
Arcadia announced his death Wednesday.
Lambert was the regular rider of Hall of
Fame gelding Native Diver, and together
they won Gold Cups in 1965, ‘66 and ‘67. He
won 2,535 races and retired with 42 stakes
wins at Santa Anita, 54 at Hollywood Park
and 30 at Del Mar. He won his first race on
a half-mile bullring in Shelby, Montana, in
1958.
Lambert, who went by “Clyde,” was Santa
Anita’s leading rider in 1967-68 and won
another title at the track’s fall meet in 1972.
He was Del Mar’s leading rider in 1967.
He was born in Clyde, Kansas, on Dec. 27,
1940.
Lambert was known as a superb judge of
pace in races who had a light touch on the
horses and a cool demeanor.
Hall of Famer jockey Donald Pierce rode
against Lambert from 1961 until 1984.
“Anytime he was in a race, you had to
deal with him because he didn’t make mistakes,” Pierce said.

When Abe Vigoda played
Fish on "Barney Miller," the
dark bags under his eyes
emphasized his laconic
demeanor, while Benicio Del
Toro's swollen, dark under-
eyes magnify the menace of
his onscreen characters. But
for most of you, dark circles
and bags under the eyes are
just something you'd rather
not have. Us too!
As you age and the skin
around your eyes thins and
loses collagen, muscles may
droop, and fat that used to be
around the eyes can settle
below them or increase in
volume; fluid can even pool

DEAR ABBY: Help!
Facebook is killing my social
life. I am wondering if anyone else is having this experience.
I am a woman whose job
requires me to be on the computer eight hours a day. The
last thing I want after work is
to go online. Before Facebook
took over my social circle,
this wasn't a problem. But
now all my friends and family are on the site and pressuring me to do likewise.
Gradually, Facebook contact seems to be replacing
real, physical get-togethers.
Things that used to be done
in person or over the phone
are now all done on
Facebook, and we rarely get
together anymore. If I don't
check Facebook, I am out of
the loop.
If I suggest getting together, everyone is "busy" -- busy
on Facebook, I guess. They
aren't mad at me or avoiding
me, they just want contact on
their terms. Am I the only
one having this problem? -OLD-SCHOOL IN CHAMPAIGN, ILL.
DEAR OLD-SCHOOL: I'm
sure you're not the only one.
The Internet is supposed to
be a tool to facilitate commu-
nication, not a substitute for
real, flesh-and-blood relationships. If you can't work out a
compromise with your
friends and family -- say, one
in-person visit a month -- you
may have to cultivate some
new relationships with other
"old-school" people who also
prefer face-to-face contact.
DEAR ABBY: My father
recently passed away. It was
unexpected. He was my sunshine and my heart. I am devastated. Because of this, I am
no longer sure I want to have
a traditional wedding. It
would be too sad to not share
the day with Dad, as I had
dreamed. My fiance and I
have discussed eloping, and it
seems like the right idea.
The trouble with eloping,
however, is that we'd want
our parents and siblings
there as witnesses, and we'd
like a party for friends and
extended family after the
nuptials. People are telling
me THAT'S not eloping, and
they have been looking forward to attending our wedding.
In the midst of my grief,
I'm not sure how to respond
to their comments. What
should I do? -- FATHERLESS
BRIDE IN MISSISSIPPI
DEAR FATHERLESS
BRIDE: If you would prefer
your nuptials to be a small,
intimate affair, that's what
they should be. Have a reception later. Whether others
were looking forward to
attending your wedding is
beside the point. If you are
challenged for not wanting a
big wedding, all you need to
say is that your plans
changed when your father
died. No one should be able
to argue with that, because
your feelings are understandable.
DEAR ABBY: I have a
neighbor who is always asking to borrow things. The
items come back only if I go
and collect them -- from food
items like spices, to gasoline,
cash and more. The situation
is almost comical, like
Simpson vs. Flanders. How
can I make my stuff less
available without outright
saying no? -- FLANDERS OF
"SPRINGFIELD," MAINE
DEAR FLANDERS: And
what is wrong with just saying no? When someone's generosity is abused, that's the
most logical thing to do. And
without being nasty, you
should tell your neighbor the
reason why.

TO FINESSE
OR NOT TO FINESSE
Oscar Robertson, a former
top basketball
player nicknamed The Big O, said,
"Some players are more
physical than others, some
play with more finesse.
Some are just really great
all-around players. So you
have to change your game."
At the bridge table, you
might have to change your
game, in particular when
the bidding helps you to
place the missing key-cards.
That is not relevant in this
deal, but how should South
plan the play in three notrump after West leads the
spade queen?
South starts with seven
top tricks: two spades, three
hearts, one diamond and
one club. He needs to take
two more diamond tricks to
get up to nine -- how?

Phillip Alder
This is not a finessing
deal. If one of declarer's diamond honors is captured (or
covered) by the king, he will
need the suit to split 3-3,
which is unlikely (a priori
35.53 percent). Instead,
South should lead twice
toward the hand with the
two honors. He should
win the first trick with
dummy's spade king and
call for a low diamond.
East will presumably
play low, so South will
win with his queen. He
goes back to the board by
leading his low heart to
dummy's jack. Then he
plays a second low diamond toward his hand.
Suppose East wins with
his king and returns his
second spade. Declarer
wins with his ace, cashes
his diamond jack, overtakes his heart queen
with dummy's king,
cashes the diamond ace
and claims.
Lastly, note that it
could cost to duck the first
trick. If West is a genius, he
will shift to the club queen.
Then South would lose one
spade, one diamond and
three clubs.
Hints from Heloise
Dear Heloise:
I can't be the
only one having
this problem!
With deeppocket bedsheets, my
sheets now roll into a BALL
in the clothes dryer -- usually with the pillowcases in
the middle of the ball. I have
to unroll the ball, continue
the drying cycle and stop it
again several times to unroll
the ball. The end result is
the same: very wrinkled
sheets. Is there any way to
solve this problem? By the
way, my dryer is a large-capacity dryer. I am so frustrated! -- Mickey in Houston
Mickey, I hear you. It's
bothersome, and takes up
extra time as well. I've tested
several hints, and the following Heloise hint seems to
work the best:
Before putting a flat sheet
in the dryer, put all the corners together and straighten
the sides. Tie two corners together into a loose knot. Put
it into the dryer, and the
sheet dries without ending
up in a ball. For a fitted
sheet, put the elastic sides
together and tie two ends in
another loose knot.
Do shake out pillowcases
and shirts.
Don't just throw items in
a lump of wet material.
Do use a lower heat setting for a longer time.
Don't dry on high heat!
-- Heloise
CARPET MILDEW
Dear Heloise: How do I
get mildew out of a lightcolor carpet by the front
door? I read you in the
Billings (Mont.) Gazette and
enjoy all your hints. -- Laverne B., Billings, Mont.
Hi, Laverne. Thank you
and all of the other friendly
folks in Billings who write.
It's a beautiful place to fly
hot-air balloons, as my husband and I did years ago. I
may have flown over your
house!
Mildew can be a pesky
problem, and the location
(by the front door) is an indicator that the mildew is
from repeated or continued
exposure to moisture/water.
You may be able to lighten
up the stain by cleaning, but
it most likely will reoccur.
Check to see if warm air or
Heloise
moisture leaks in under the
door. Or do a lot of wet shoes
and boots walk over the
area? You can try cleaning
the area with a vinegar-andwater (1/4 cup of white vinegar to 3/4 cup of water)
solution. Dry well with a
thirsty towel. A professional
cleaning may be needed. -Heloise
CUTICLE RESCUE
Dear Readers: Cracked
skin and dry cuticles can be
painful and unsightly, especially in dry wintertime.
You probably have the
beauty tools -- petroleum
jelly or olive oil -- handy to
prevent the problem. At bedtime, rub a little petroleum
jelly or oil into your hands,
and spend a few seconds on
your cuticles. For a beauty
treatment, slip on cotton
gloves. An old pair of cloth
garden gloves works just
fine, too. -- Heloise
CAKE DUST
Dear Heloise: When baking a cake and it calls for
dusting the pan with flour,
just take the cake mix (a tablespoon or so) and dust
with that. -- Ann in Jackson,
Mich.--

TAURUS (April 20-May
20): Pay more than lip service to a commitment. You
must show that you believe
with all your heart in what
you're doing. Those in
charge want to see their
ideas, as well as their
ideals, in action.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
You know more than you
think you do. Once you
kick-start your passions it
will be hard to slow down.
Don't let a new obsession or
project, however, blind you
to the needs of loved ones.
CANCER (June 21-July
22): New friendships forged
under these stars may not
last very long, but that will
be for the best. You could
find the key information
needed to make a substantial and profitable arrangement a reality.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):
You could experiment with
the latest gadgets and become engrossed with technological tinkering.
Pleasant companionship
can brighten the weekend

glued to the computer.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Put one foot after the other.
Climbing the ladder of success requires unflagging effort. No one can beat you to
the top if you stay a step
ahead. Work hard while
your energy is peaking.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

BIRTHDAY GAL: Actress
Kate Mara was born in Bedford, N.Y., today in 1983.
This birthday gal earned a
2014 Emmy nomination for
her portrayal of Zoe Barnes
on "House Of Cards." She's
also played recurring roles
on "American Horror
Story," "Entourage" and
"24." On the big screen,
Mara's film resume includes "Transcendence,"
"Deadfall" and "Iron Man 2."
The actress will next play
The Invisible Women in the
upcoming rehash of "The
Fantastic Four."
ARIES (March 21-April
19): An unconventional opportunity may be on your
doorstep, but remember
that standard conventions
must still be honored. Others may be more willing to
Schools & Instructions
Jeraldine Saunders
ning ways are a cause for
envious sniping by a less
ambitious co-worker. Ignore gossip.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.
21): Trust in your intuition
and instincts. Use hidden
talents and a spirit of kindness to make headway in
the business world. You and
that special someone could
be perfectly attuned this
evening.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Be a glutton for
punishment and allow yourself to be petted and pampered by a special someone.
Avoid pledging your heart
if you're in a new relationship or issuing ultimatums
if in an old one.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): Apply enthusiasm with
a trowel. If you want to
build something, your passion for excellence will act
as cement. Whistle while
you work to spread good
cheer and foster a spirit of
camaraderie.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18): Your outgoing nature is
coupled with a pleasant veneer so you can be forthright in a way that doesn't
ruffle any feathers. You can
use your salesmanship to
sell yourself or any other
product.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20): Stand proud, but not too
proud. You don't own anyone and no one owns you.
But when there's a big job to
be completed you may be
expected to act like a team
player and put in extra effort.
IF FEBRUARY 27 IS
YOUR BIRTHDAY: You
have a long-term cycle of
inner peace and harmony to
look forward to in the year
ahead. This is a good time
to enjoy better health and
focus on creative or spiritual objectives. March offers a good time to apply
your shrewdness to practical matters, such as investments, business, or career
plans. Rewards or opportunities for advancement
might arrive without fanfare in November and you
won't need to lift a finger to
enjoy them. However, be
prepared to decide what's
essential to your happiness,
as by December you'll need
to knuckle down and "make
it so."

Some roads in Yellowstone
National Park set to close Sunday
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo.
(AP) — Yellowstone’s winter season is coming
to an end, which means roads that allow guided snowmobiles and snowcoach travel to some
of the park’s most iconic sites will be closed in
stages beginning Sunday.
The road from Yellowstone’s east entrance
over Sylvan Pass will be closed, and oversnow
travel south into the park from Mammoth Hot
Springs will end at 9 p.m. Sunday. Other road
closures will happen over the next two weeks.
After the roads close to oversnow travel,
crews will begin to clear them so they can
reopen to automobile travel beginning April
17, weather permitting.
The road from Gardiner, Montana, through
the park’s north entrance to Mammoth Hot
Springs and Cooke City, Montana, is open to
automobiles all year, if the weather cooperates.
Forecast: Low odds for spring
runoff flooding in Wyoming

T
Recreation for everyone
he State of Wyoming and Sheridan County have endless
opportunities for outdoor recreation. State and federal
lands are just minutes from your doorstep. I would like to
encourage you to visit the thousands of acres of wideopen, wild Wyoming landscape. Hiking and backpacking are
popular activities in this area, but you can experience the beautiful Wyoming landscape by simply taking a family road trip. I
find it interesting that people from other states will drive for
days to visit the Bighorn Mountains, yet many of our local residents do not take the time to enjoy the state
and federal lands that are the backdrop for
our little city. Gas prices are at an all-time
low and hopefully that means the state of
Wyoming will have a banner year for the
summer tourist season. We are minutes
from some of the most scenic highways in
the nation. They are your public lands to
enjoy.
Thankfully, we will shift gears from participating in our indoor activities to our
outdoor events. Youth baseball and softball will be starting soon. Stay tuned for
sign-up information. Also, I would like to
remind the community of some of the
great outdoor recreation facilities we have available in the
Sheridan Area. The Thorne-Rider Youth Camp, managed by
Youth Inc., is located in picturesque Story near the Fish
Hatchery. The camp is open year-round and available to
youth groups free of charge. Church organizations,
Boy/Girl Scouts and schools use the 60-acre area for variety
of educational events. The area includes several fire-rings,
an archery range, a small firearms range and many camping areas that are located next to the Thorne-Rider Lodge
building and South Piney Creek. Youth church groups are
encouraged to use the chapel which is also located on the
property. Groups must be chaperoned by adults. For an
added bonus, included free of charge, and adjacent to the
property is South Piney Canyon which is home to some
amazing fishing and backpacking opportunities. Call 6832322 to reserve a date.
Additionally, Youth Inc. has the Poulson-Griffith Youth
Camp, which is located west of Sheridan just off Big Goose
Road. Years ago this camp was known as the “Girl Scout
Camp.” The property is located on a 20-acre wooded area on
Big Goose Creek. The camp includes all the comforts of
home with restrooms, shower facilities and a kitchen. A
large multi-use park area is located next to the facility’s
sporting gazebos, fire ring areas and camping spots. More
than 2,000 visitors use the camp on a regular basis, so please
reserve your date early.

The YMCA Thunderbird Camp is one of the biggest users
of Thorne-Rider Youth Camp. Think camp, think FUN!
Campers say YMCA Camp Thunderbird is all about fun.
Fun is a top priority. It ranks right up there with teaching
key values of:
CARING • HONESTY • RESPECT •
TY
RESPONSIBILI-
The Thunderbird experience begins as your child enjoys
discovering the wonders of the outdoors. They may try a
new challenge, take on a leadership role, improve their selfconfidence or learn how to cultivate a positive attitude.
Some of the adventures and challenges given to campers are
the more traditional sessions such as canoeing, hiking, rock
climbing, archery, team’s course and arts and crafts. This
year there will be a special overnight event for the oldest
day camp group.
Feel left out? For all your unfortunate family members
that aren’t able to be part of Thunderbird Day Camp we
invite you to join the group for an evening barbecue each
week. The night will include lots of fun and entertaining
surprises.
These are just a few of the things that make Camp
Thunderbird not only a fun week, but also a place for youth
to grow. Sheridan County Camp Thunderbird is a place
where you can be yourself, make new friends, learn new
things, get to know yourself a little better and certainly
have a GREAT time.
Contact the YMCA for further information at 674-7488.
RICHARD WRIGHT is the director of the Sheridan Recreation District.
Tailwater Fisheries
Tailwaters (below a dam) will be
a good ticket for the next six
weeks. Our nearest tailwaters,
the Big Horn (90 min. to the
north) and the North Platte (2.5
hours to the south) are fishing
well for this time of year. Sow
bugs, midge pupae/larvae and
small pheasant tails are the
nymphing staple for both rivers.
Flows are nice and relatively low
for both rivers. Look for midge
hatches on the Big Horn during
calm afternoons.
Lowland Freestones
Area freestone (no dam)
streams
have
completely
opened with the recent warm
weather! These will be a good
bet for the next few months until
spring runoff begins.
Local
streams don’t have much public
access, so now’s the time to
think of heading to the
Yellowstone in the Livingston
area, and the Shoshone River in
and around Cody. Use attractor
nymphs, like a Prince nymph,
trailed by a smaller pheasant tail
or hare’s ear nymph.
CHEYENNE (AP) — The likelihood of spring
flooding in Wyoming remains low more than
halfway through a winter that has yet to bring
deep snow to many areas.
The latest spring snowmelt forecast from the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration shows only a slim chance of
flooding in most mountain ranges.
Exceptions include the mountains around
Ten Sleep, Dubois and Bondurant, where
spring flooding risk is rated low to moderate.
The forecast is good news for Saratoga. The
North Platte River running through Saratoga
has reached some of its highest levels on a
record three of the last five years.
NOAA hydrologist Jim Fahey says the
snowmelt forecast could change quickly. He
says some areas east of the Continental Divide
typically get more than half of their annual
precipitation in March, April and May.
Senate gives initial OK to
Flathead water agreement
HELENA (AP) — Montana senators have
given initial approval to a proposed water-use
agreement on the Flathead Reservation.
After two hours of discussion, senators
voted 31-19 in favor of Senate Bill 262.
Eleven Republicans voted with the Senate’s
21 Democrats in supporting the measure,
which was presented by Republican Sen. Chas
Vincent of Libby.
Three amendments were proposed and voted
down after Vincent said any changes to the
proposal itself would nullify the negotiation,
which began in part decades ago.
Republican Sen. Bob Keenan, whose district
includes Flathead Lake, said he is concerned
that the compact could allow the lake’s water
level to drop below current summer requirements for recreation like boating.
The bill is expected to receive a final vote in
the Senate on Thursday.
State says ash tree-killing insect
still limited to Boulder
DENVER (AP) — The Colorado State Forest
Service says an insect that kills ash trees hasn’t spread outside the city of Boulder, but a
disease that attacks black walnut trees is
advancing.
In its annual forest health report released
Wednesday, the agency said the emerald ash
borer is spreading within Boulder, but monitoring conducted last year didn’t find the
insect in other towns.
Areas where monitoring was conducted
include metro Denver, Erie, Golden, Greeley,
Lone Tree and Longmont.
The Forest Service said thousand cankers
disease was found in black walnut trees in
cities from Fort Collins to Canon City. It was
also detected in Fort Morgan, farther east than
previous locations in the state.
The walnut twig beetle, which carries the
disease, was found in Kiowa County near the
Kansas border.
Lake Fishing
Ice fishing on the lowland lakes
is very iffy and should probably
be avoided absent another 15day period of subzero weather.
You can still head up high to
Sibley, Meadowlark, Tie Hack or
Dull Knife to “sit on the ice” for
awhile. If normal weather continues, look for some good open
shore fishing on DeSmet and
Tongue Reservoir in about a
month. Once the ice moves away
from shore, the fish will begin to
move in!
