Sheridan resident creates traditional Ukrainian Easter eggs BY ALISA BRANTZ [email protected] SHERIDAN — Traditionally, Ukrainian women prepared themselves for Pysanky decorating by purifying their spiritual state of mind for the entire day prior — living peacefully, avoiding gossip, being patient with family and preparing a fine dinner. Today, if you want to partake in the art of Easter egg dyeing, you probably just boil some eggs and dip them in store-bought colors with your kids. But some local artists, like Betty Wendtland, prefer to maintain some of the Christian traditions behind the ancient art of egg decorating. Pysanky are Ukrainian Easter eggs decorated by writing designs on dried eggshells with beeswax and layering dye on the exposed areas, working from light to dark. Historically, the Pysanky were decorated during Lent, as a sacred event done at night, as no one was allowed to watch the women work on the eggs. They believed this process transferred the goodness of the household to the designs and pushed away the evil. As many as 60 eggs would be finished per household by Holy Thursday and everyone in the community then received an egg for Easter.

The Children’s Justice Project is the Wyoming Supreme Court’s way of making that journey a little easier to travel. GILLETTE (AP) — Next time NASA’s crawler transporter makes the 4.2-mile trip from the assembly shop to the launch pad at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the massive, lumbering 1960s machine will have new capabilities and 88 new L&H Industrial logos engraved into parts the Gillette company machined, installed and tested. Fifty years after the company first opened its doors, L&H has tackled its biggest job to date and its first government contract, said Bill Schroyer, L&H’s project manager for the transporter rebuild. “Just walking in the door was something,” Schroyer said about working with NASA. More specifically, NASA has tasked L&H to redesign the lower rollers of the crawler, which carries the spacecraft to the launching pad. The company’s work boosted the machine’s carrying capacity from 18 million pounds to 24 million pounds, enough to allow the vehicle to carry NASA’s new Space Launch System. ‘We’re used to kind of making our own decisions. The biggest difference is the amount of paperwork.’ Bill Schroyer L&H manager for transporter build SEE EGGS, PAGE 7 Wyoming population reaches estimated 584,000 in 2014 CHEYENNE (AP) — Wyoming’s population increased 0.2 percent over a year to 584,153 in July 2014, according to estimates released by the U.S. Census Bureau. The annual increase from July 2013 of 930 persons is the slowest increase since 2001. After accounting for births and deaths, the estimated net migration indicates that nearly 2,200 more persons left Wyoming than moved into the state between July 2013 and July 2014. “Migration is mostly driven by changes in employment, which is particularly true for Wyoming,” said Wenlin Liu, principal economist with state Economic Analysis Division. People tend to move to areas where there are jobs available and conversely may leave the area where employment opportunities becomes limited.

The Children’s Justice Project is the Wyoming Supreme Court’s way of making that journey a little easier to travel. The Wyoming Supreme Court started the CJP in 1999, utilizing funds that the federal government pro- vides to all 50 states to help children, families and tribes at risk or in crisis. Part of those provisions are for each state to make an assessment of their foster care and adoption laws and processes and to develop plans for a better system. “The CJP focuses on abuse and neglect situations with court-involved cases,” CJP coordinator Eydie Trautwein said. “One of our purposes is to specialize quality representation for the families in these cases. When they have quality representation, then the process can move smoothly and quickly.” The process is complex, ranging from determining if a child needs to be taken from the home to whether charges need to be filed against the parents or guardians. Determinations have to be made concerning what charges need to be filed. Child abuse charges are criminal, but removing a child from custody is a civil matter. It can take the combined efforts of defense attorneys, prosecutors, advocates, the Department of Family Services, therapists and judges to maneuver the process. Members of the CJP advisory council are appointed by the Wyoming Supreme Court chief justice and include district court JUSTIN SHEELY | THE SHERIDAN PRESS In this photo illustration, a child’s toy is left on the divider inside the 4th Judicial District Court at the Sheridan County Courthouse. Inside this room, rulings are made which affect the lives of children who live in abusive or unsafe family environments. judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys, state legislators and a tribal representative to help deal with complex issues concerning the Arapaho and Shoshoni tribes in Wyoming. The council meets quarterly, often through teleconferencing, and has a conference once a year. Sheridan Deputy County Attorney Sheryl Bunting is part of the CJP council as is 4th Judicial District Court Judge John Fenn. Bunting has been a guardian ad litem, representing the interest of children in cases, and a parents’ attorney, representing them in court as well. In law school, she said, she knew she wanted to help people, but she didn’t know what direction that would take. “I’ve been on every side of the table, so to speak,” Bunting said. “One of the things the CJP does is have someone on every side of the table who are mindful of federal legislation efforts concerning abused and neglected children.” Members of the council are experienced in their field be it as an attorney, a judge or a state legislator. Permanent placement of children in abusive situations is a goal for the CJP. According to a 2008 report by the U. S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, remaining too long in temporary foster care homes can further harm children already in crisis. Sadly, that kind of permanency isn’t always possible. “There are issues we don’t know about yet,” Bunting said. “Sometimes we have a kid who is so traumatized and so damaged, we’ll place them with a family and it will all fall apart. Then they have to deal with another loss, another trauma and another feeling of being abandoned.” The CJP tries to keep the entire process — from filing charges to placing children in safe homes to terminating parental rights or rehabilitating parents — running smoothly, making sure families have quality advocates for both sides of a custodial issue. The organization also produces several books and manuals including bench books for attorneys and judges new to the process and children’s books helping explain the court process to kids. “There’s books for kids at different age levels and some for parents so everyone knows what’s happening throughout the process,” Bunting said. “There are also scholarships for judges and attorneys to attend trainings across the country.” “We’re really lucky (in Sheridan County),” Bunting said. “Everyone here seems to be on the same page, from the defense attorneys, to the prosecutors, to the judges to DFS, even the therapists and the schools.” Trautwein said the legal world can change very quickly, though. “In these last elections, there were 13 new county attorneys elected across the state,” Trautwein said. “That could mean new attorneys who have no experience in juvenile justice.” At the heart of the matter, the project’s goal is to provide better outcomes for children facing trauma from abuse and neglect who need a safe place to call home. “We’re kind of the quality assurance of the program,” Trautwein said. “It’s our job to see that no family languishes in the court system.” Cancer survivors start support group SHERIDAN — A cancer survivors support group,“A Shared Journey,” has been formed.

CallTODAY!! JUSTIN SHEELY | THE SHERIDAN PRESS Shane Luckie of Sheridan plucks at his Dave Mustaine signature guitar in his home on Thursday. Luckie won a guitar playing contest and will have the privilege of playing Black Sabbath’s “Paranoid” with former Megadeth drummer, Shawn Drover, during the Shawn Drover Drum Madness concert March 28 at the Retro Theatre in Glendive, Montana. Contest win gives Luckie chance of a lifetime BY TRAVIS PEARSON [email protected] SHERIDAN — Since its inception in the early 1980s, metal band Megadeth has sold more than 50 million albums worldwide and played thousands of sold-out shows in front of millions of fans. Back in the ‘90s, Shane Luckie was just another fan. The Sheridan native, then 17 years old, watched the band perform in Billings, Montana. Little did he realize back then, but his story had yet to come full circle. Last Tuesday, he won a contest that, for one song, will make him the envy of metal fans everywhere. The 35-year-old musician is headed back to Montana today to take the stage with former Megadeth drummer and metal legend Shawn Drover. “It’s kind of hard to believe,” Luckie said. “It probably won’t hit me until I’m up on stage with him.” Don’t let the last name fool you — Luckie had to earn his spot under the bright lights. The story started a few weeks ago, when a contest out of Glendive, Montana, caught his eye on Facebook. “I checked it out, and it said two guitar players will get chosen to play with Shawn Drover,” Luckie explained. “I thought, ‘Oh, that’s cool.’ I saw you just had to play three songs, and that’s pretty much how it got started.” The guitarist, who grew up in the Ranchester and Dayton areas and has lived in Sheridan since he was 16, needed to record versions of three songs: “Paranoid” by Black Sabbath, “Highway to Hell” by AC/DC and “Living After Midnight” by Judas Priest. For a couple weeks, Luckie and the rest of his Sheridan-based band, Hate To Feel, learned the songs so he could record his performances in a live setting. He didn’t want to play them like he was following sheet music, though. He preferred to make the songs his own. “What I wanted to do — they’re fairly easy songs — as far as ‘Paranoid,’ I wanted JUSTIN SHEELY | THE SHERIDAN PRESS Shane Luckie of Sheridan holds his Dave Mustaine signature guitar in his home on Thursday. to put my licks and stuff and make them, I don’t want to say modern, but make them more my taste,” he said. “Put my stamp on them, basically.” With the songs recorded, Luckie posted the videos to the band’s Facebook page and YouTube and sent links to the contest organizers of all the submissions. On March 17, Luckie got the good news. Not only did he make the cut, but he also discovered Drover handpicked the winning musicians. Luckie will play “Paranoid,” and a 16-year-old guitarist from Montana will join Drover for “Living After Midnight.” More than a week later, it’s still hard for Luckie to describe his excitement for the show. One of the best parts, he said, has been support from friends and family after more than 20 years playing music. “I think a lot of people around here, other than people I went to school with, don’t even know I play guitar,” he said. “So that’s been cool just getting the recognition from friends and family saying congratulations and stuff like that.” Of course, the highlight will be joining Drover on stage at the Retro Theatre in Glendive tonight. Luckie said he enjoys all sorts of music, everything from classical to blues to metal and in between. But still, for a guy who owns a Megadeth guitar, it’s hard to keep a cool head when preparing to get up on stage with Drover, a guy, as Luckie says, “who’s traveled all over the world and played big arenas.” “I’m trying to downplay it so I don’t get nervous, like, ‘You know, I’m just going up there to play with some guy,’” Luckie said. “But I know there are probably millions of people who would want to play with him.” The Shawn Drover Drum Madness Concert will take place at the Retro Theatre in Glendive, Montana, beginning at 8 p.m. today. Tickets are $25 cash-only at the door. AAUW panel to highlight contributions over 100 years FROM STAFF REPORTS SHERIDAN — The Sheridan Branch of the American Association of University Women and First Interstate Bank invite the public to view six creative panels highlighting the involvement of the branch’s contributions over the past 100 years and current AAUW programs.

EXECUTIVE STAFF Stephen Woody Publisher Kristen Czaban Managing Editor Phillip Ashley Marketing Director Becky Martini Mark Blumenshine Office Manager Production Manager – 672-2431 – A3 A4 OPINION THE SHERIDAN PRESS SHERIDAN PRESS EDITORIAL | Is Kobza a leader without followers? S heridan County School District 1 Superintendent Marty Kobza has reached a point at which it no longer matters if he’s good at his job. On Tuesday, members of the West Sheridan County Education Association teachers union told the district’s board of trustees that a vote taken by district employees showed a lack of confidence in Kobza’s abilities to lead them. WSCEA President Shannon Moline told the board that 65 percent of those eligible to vote — everyone except for administrators — did so. Of those who voted, Moline said a ratio of two to one said they had no confidence in the superintendent. Reasons given for the sentiment have been vague — morale, transparency, money management. No specific examples of wrongdoing have been cited, but the group has expressed frustration along with parents, that Big Horn Middle School/High School Principal George Mirich’s contract was not renewed. Likewise, the school board has done little to back its decision to renew Kobza’s contract but not Mirich’s. Due to laws protecting personnel issues, the true reason for Mirich’s lack of renewal may never be made public. But the board should speak to why they have put their faith in Kobza. When the WSCEA and others expressed concerns Tuesday, the board should have given specific reasons regarding why it has backed the superintendent. Yet oddly, they haven’t even discussed in public meetings the fact that Kobza has been chosen as the northeast region nominee for Wyoming Superintendent of the Year by the Northeast Superintendents of Wyoming. Nobody seems to be in Kobza’s corner. If the board members had enough faith to renew his contract, they should explain in detail why. The board members should not hide behind superficial comments of support for fear of angering constituents who disagree. It does little to reassure members of the school district who are unsure which side to believe. Without his supporters going to bat for him, though, Kobza has a rough road ahead. With morale low, it is difficult to get educators and staff to focus on moving forward. How do you move forward under a leader you don’t believe in? How do you buy into a leader’s ideas if you don’t support him? You don’t. You get bogged down in petty disagreements bred by a lack of trust. There is a saying that a leader without any followers is just a guy taking a walk. Unless people start voicing their support for Kobza, his actions and his policies, the superintendent of the year candidate may end up being a lone man wandering. www.thesheridanpress.com SATURDAY, MARCH 28, 2015 LETTER | Grateful parent Re: Proud of Arvada-Clearmont schools This week's ArvadaClearmont Spring Concert featuring Basque Heritage was a pure delight. I commend Mrs. Olson, the K12 music teacher for Sheridan County School District 3, for her ability to plan a unique, lively and rich musical and dance experience for our students. My heart swelled to see my sometimes timid, 7-year-old daughter singing and dancing confidently in front of a “packed house,” and Mrs. Olson’s free-spirited participation showcased how she builds this confidence in the classroom while she teaches a history and culture that gives our area its flavor. The audience clapped along, Basque people in attendance gave an impromptu fandango demonstration, and everyone was encouraged to “whoop” or “holler” if they felt compelled — more than a few did! Additionally (and these words are always overdue), I thank our administrators and teachers in SCSD3. They have worked tirelessly to keep parents informed regarding policy, while continuing to provide a safe and ambitious learning environment. When I sent my first child to school for the first time, I was overwhelmed by the responsibility that school staff carry every day of their working lives. Public school systems are so “commonplace” today, but shaping young minds is so powerful. How grateful I am to be so proud of “my” school. Misty Moore Stoll Clearmont QUOTABLES | Disbelief, shock worldwide at co-pilot’s role in Alps crash FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Incredulity, shock, disbelief and horror. Around the world, from leaders to pilots to victims’ relatives to ordinary people, the news that prosecutors believe a 27-year-old co-pilot deliberately sent Germanwings Flight 9525 straight into a French mountain produced a range of emotions. French prosecutor Brice Robin said Andreas Lubitz was alone at the plane’s controls and “intentionally” flew the Airbus A320 into the mountain Tuesday on its way from Barcelona to Duesseldorf, killing all 150 people on board. Here are some reactions: “Today, news has reached us that gives this tragedy a new, simply incomprehensible dimension ... this news affects me exactly the same way as it probably does most people. Something like this goes beyond anything we can imagine.” — German Chancellor Angela Merkel. “One person can’t have the right to end the lives of hundreds of people and families.” — Spanish factory worker Esteban Rodriguez, who lost two work friends in the crash and spoke of his “feeling of impotence, of rage” at the news. Lufthansa has “no knowledge on what have might have motivated the co-pilot to take this terrible action.” — Carsten Spohr, the chief executive of Lufthansa which owns Germanwings. “I gave this information to my colleagues immediately, and they were just as stunned as I was. I told them it is much, much worse than we had thought. It doesn’t make the number of dead any worse, but if it had been a technical defect then measures could have been taken so that it would never happen again.” — Ulrich Wessel, principal of Joseph Koenig High School in Haltern, Germany, which lost 16 students and two teachers in the crash. “Shocked by the latest details provided by investigators.” — Tweet from Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, whose nation had dozens of Germanwings crash victims. “I was feeling bad, because I personally knew her and her mother. But now the most recent news, which I read while eating, if it turns out to be true, is of no help to the families.” — Manu Navas, tennis teacher for one victim, 12-year-old Emma Solera Pardo, at Sant Cugat del Valles, a town near Barcelona. “Right now, I don’t think there’s anyone who isn’t worried. We are not immune, none of us, to this kind of thing. Flying is a safe form of transport, but you can’t stop crazy. If someone decides to act in a crazy manner, there’s nothing anyone can do about it.” — Steve Serdachny, 45, who had flown in to Helsinki’s airport from Toronto and was headed for Moscow. The co-pilot’s ability to crash the jet how he did “does seem incredible in this day and age when there are so many different levels of security and safety checks and measures. How could a pilot lock another pilot out of the cockpit?” — Osmo Karppinen, a church janitor leaving Helsinki’s airport with his girlfriend for a week of vacation in Turkey. “We are trying to understand what happened. The family wants clear answers.” — Eran Betzalel, the brother-in-law of Eyal Baum, the lone Israeli victim of the crash. Sweaty palms, turning stomach I ’ve always slightly dreaded any need for publicly speaking in front of large groups. I do it anyway, and I get over it, but it always makes me nervous. My palms get sweaty, my stomach turns a little and my thoughts tend to get a little jumbled. So when I was invited to be a part of a panel about the media recently for the current EDITOR’S class of COLUMN Leadership | Wyoming, I Kristen Czaban immediately agreed and then immediately became nervous. The organizers of the session sent an email with ideas they hoped I and the other panelists would talk about. I studiously took notes, prepared an introduction and tried to remember everything I was taught in public speaking class in high school. The whole “Imagine everyone in their underwear” thing never worked for me. It kind of seemed creepy to me. Make eye contact — but with who? Do I look at the person in the front row? Or should I direct my attention further back in the room? There just always seemed like so many things to remember beyond just what you wanted to say. That explains why my nerves always seem to be on edge when I have to speak publicly. But I have this thing, you see, about doing things that scare the living daylights out of me. I hate heights, but I really want to go skydiving. I still peer out over tall bridges and even muster the courage to walk out on those glass floors that stretch out from city skyscrapers. I don’t like to do these things, naturally. You would think my fear would lessen seeing as though nothing bad has happened to me. But, it hasn’t; so I continue to do the things that scare me in hopes that some day that fear will diminish. Of course, I showed up at the event Thursday — my heart racing just slightly — and essentially threw all of the preparation I had done out the window. I’m not sure I referred to my notes once. I knew what was in them, of course, but it turned out I didn’t need them. We stayed on topic and discussed some of the items that had been on the list sent out by organizers, but mostly we responded to questions and carried on a conversation with members of the audience. It was great! Once I realized there really was no need for me to be nervous — about 10 minutes into the event — my voice leveled out, my thoughts cleared and my palms were (mostly) dry. I have another public speaking duty today. Maybe this time won’t be so nerve-racking. IN WYOMING | DROP US A LINE | The Sheridan Press welcomes letters to the editor.

This is great news for those of us in the community whose businesses depend on visitor-generated revenue, and Sheridan is poised to realize another year of positive economic impact from tourism in 2015. Since the beginning of SHAWN our fiscal year, (July 1, BUCKLEY 2014), Sheridan Travel | and Tourism has collected more than $516,000 in gross lodging tax — which represents a 16 percent increase versus last fiscal year at this time. In January alone we collected over 238 percent more revenue than the same month in 2014, which is more than 247 percent of the January monthly average. These figures are incredible, but we’re finding that to develop and sustain this degree of positive economic impact we have to maximize the efficiency of how and where these dollars are allocated. Some of these avenues are more traditional in their nature of marketing, and some are more direct — especially in the case of group tour operators and film production. Much of my year to date has been spent traveling and working with our travel partners in person at various conventions, such as National Tour Association, Regional Tourism Organization and the GoWest Summit, as a means of attracting a higher volume of group tours and conventions to the area. Since we are one of very few Wyoming communities represented on-site, it is a tremendous asset to have not only our participation at these events but also the resources necessary to ensure our group travel clients and community partners alike are working together to ensure a positive experience for everyone involved. With that in mind, we recently acquired the talents of Nicole Pearce as our new Destination Development Manager. Nicole has a wealth of experience in the hospitality industry and a strong familiarity with Sheridan’s tourism market — especially as it pertains to group tours and conventions, and we look forward to the many successes to come from her addition to our team. We continue to actively pursue new film projects as well, and I once again had the opportunity to work side-by-side with Colin Stricklin from the State Film Office at the Association of Film Commissioners International Locations show in Los Angeles and South by Southwest in Austin earlier this year. Both were excellent platforms in terms of showcasing Sheridan as a stand-alone in a prominent film destination, and at the moment our office is reviewing two production proposals that are a direct result of attendance at these shows. One aspect of marketing tourism in Sheridan that blurs the line between traditional and direct is the Welcome Center where our offices are located. This facility has historically served as an information point complementary to the offices of the Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce, but it is literally in the process of transforming into a full-service visitor’s center — with the explicit purpose of driving traffic into Sheridan. We found that over 48 percent of the 105,000 annual welcome center visitors have not made their lodging reservations before they have arrived, and we look forward to better positioning the facility to capitalize on this revenue potential for the community. Keep an eye out for more to come of this exciting transition as we work towards making the most of the upcoming tourism season. SHAWN BUCKLEY is the executive director of Sheridan Travel and Tourism.

True, it helps him raise tens of millions of dollars, but it saddles him with legacy and dynastic issues that negate the inherent GOP advantage of running a new vs. old, not-again campaign against Hillary. Odds: 7-2. 3. Scott Walker. A fine record of conservative achievement. Has shown guts and leadership in taking on labor unions and winning three elections (five if you count proxy elections) against highly energized Democrats. Good, rousing speech in Iowa, but has stumbled since, flubbing routine questions on evolution and patriotism, then appearing to compare the Islamic State to Wisconsin demonstrators. Rookie mistakes, easily forgotten — if he learns from them. Pandered on ethanol and fired a staffer who complained about Iowa’s unwarranted influence. Sure, everyone panders to Iowa, but Walker’s calling card is standing up to pressure. Most encouraging sign: ability to maintain altitude after meteoric rise. Numbers remain steady. And his speeches continue to impress. Odds: 4-1. Second Tier 4. Chris Christie. Some politicians have their one moment. Christie might have missed his in 2012 when his fearless in-your-face persona was refreshingly new. Over time, however, in-your-face can wear badly. That plus Bridgegate cost him traction and dropped him out of the first tier. Biggest problem: being boxed out ideologically and financially by Jeb Bush for the relatively-moderategovernor-with-cross-aisle-appeal slot. 12-1. 5. Ted Cruz. Grand, florid campaign launch with matching rhetoric. Straightforward base-oriented campaign. Has developed a solid following. Could break out, especially in debate. 15-1. 6. Mike Huckabee. Great name recognition, affable, popular. But highly identified with social/cultural issues — how far can that carry him beyond Iowa and evangelicals? 15-1. 7. Rand Paul. Events have conspired against him. Obama’s setbacks and humiliations abroad have created a national mood less conducive to Paul’s non-interventionism. His nearly 13-hour anti-drone filibuster would not fly today. Is trying to tack back, even signing the anti-Irandeal letter of the 47 senators. Strong youth appeal, though outreach to minorities less successful thus far. Bottom line: High floor of devoted libertarians; low ceiling in today’s climate. 30-1. Longer Shots 8. Carly Fiorina. Getting her footing. Given current societal taboos, she is best placed to attack Hillary and has done so effectively. Can she do a Huckabee 2008 and, through debates, vault to the first tier? Unlikely. But because she’s talented and disciplined, not impossible. 501. 9. Ben Carson. Polling high, but is a novice making cringe-worthy gaffes, for example, on the origins of Islam and on gay choice (“a lot of people who go into prison go into prison straight, and when they come out, they’re gay”). And not knowing that the Baltic states are in NATO. Truly good man, brilliant doctor, great patriot. But not ready for the big leagues. Chance of winning? Zero. Others Bobby Jindal, Rick Perry, Rick Santorum and John Kasich — still below radar. If they surface, they’ll be featured in the next racing form.

A6 PAGE SIX THE SHERIDAN PRESS www.thesheridanpress.com SATURDAY, MARCH 28, 2015 TODAY IN HISTORY | Detoxification diets FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS U sing the term “detoxification” is a turn off for many dietitians and traditional health care professionals, as it is seen to describe diet approaches that are not evidence based. This is too bad, because there are many great detoxification programs available that provide significant health benefits. Really, detoxification is just a different way of looking at a healthy lifestyle. Detoxification is the ways in which our bodies identify, neutralize and eliminate things that are unhealthy for us. Tailored Nutrition offers a detox workshop available for GEORGIA groups or individuals to help them BOLEY make the best | detox diet plan. When evaluating detox diets, there are many questions to ponder. What is your goal? If your goal is to improve energy and overall health, a detoxification diet may be very helpful for you. If your goal is primarily significant weight loss, then detox diets are not for you. This is because our liver detoxification systems require quite a bit of energy to work well, so low calorie diets are not ideal for good liver detoxification support. Does the plan help you identify your potential toxin exposure? To truly develop a tailored detoxification plan, you need to be able to pinpoint your toxin exposure and load, as this helps determine the appropriate plan to make. We developed a “Detox Decision Tree” to help this process. The University of Wisconsin Department of Family MedicineIntegrative Medicine Patient Handout on Detoxification lists potential toxin sources as: • anti-nutrients such as alcohol, advanced glycation end products, high fructose corn syrup and caffeine. • normal metabolic by-products including bile, urea, stool, carbon dioxide and nitrogen. • medications used improperly, inappropriately or too often. • heavy metals such as mercury, arsenic, lead, cadmium and aluminum. • chemicals including phthalates, Bisphenol A, pesticides, herbicides, cleaning products, solvents, glue and tobacco products. • allergens such as food, mold, dust, pollen and chemicals. • causes of infection including bacteria, viruses, yeast and parasites. • social, emotional and spiritual challenges such as excess stress, unhealthy mental states, distractions, over-stimulation, lack of spiritual connection, isolation, nature deprivation and negative emotions. Does the plan address the five basic detoxification program components? These components are: • exercise, every day, especially outside. • regular sweating, either with your exercise or in a sauna or steam room. • healthy nutrition rich in organic vegetables, legumes, fruit and water. • self-reflection including meditation or breathing-focused relaxation. • body work such as massage or acupuncture. Does the plan address and honor your body’s natural detoxification systems? These systems include the gastrointestinal system and its accessory organ, the liver. It also includes the kidneys, skin, lungs, lymphatic system, circulation and brain health. Whether detoxification means increasing your exercise and water consumption or decreasing your alcohol and stress, a well-developed plan can be helpful for most. Researching the many detoxification programs out there in the last 18 months, some of my favorite finds include discovering the benefits of watercress, artichokes, pomegranates and green tea in aiding our natural detoxification systems.

The reclusive, mild-mannered wordsmith — considered a master of metaphor and one of the most important Scandinavian poets of the post-World War II era — died Thursday after a short illness said Bonniers spokeswoman Anna Tillgren. In famous collections such as the 1966 “Windows and Stones,” Transtromer used imaginative metaphors to describe the mysteries of the human mind. His work has been translated into more than 60 languages and influenced poets across Europe, the Middle East and the Americas. In 2011 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. Transtromer’s works were characterized by powerful imagery that explored the mysterious sides of everyday life with little embellishment, and the focus on simplicity was also mirrored in the way he led his life. Working as a psychologist in Swedish state institutions, Transtromer (TRAWNstroh-mur) wrote his poetry during evenings and weekends and stood out for his unpretentious demeanor. He preferred to stay away from the public eye and largely avoided the political debates that engaged many of his contemporaries. The poet stopped writing after suffering a stroke in 1990 that left him half-paralyzed and largely unable to speak. When he received the Nobel, aged 80, he had been a favorite for the prize for so many years that even his countrymen had started to doubt whether he would ever win. His most famous works include the 1966 “Windows and Stones,” in which he depicts themes from his many travels, and “Baltics” from 1974 about the democracies and dictatorships surrounding the Baltic Sea during the Cold War. He published “The Sorrow Gondola” in 1996 with work that had been written before the stroke and the “The Great Enigma.” Born April 15, 1931, Transtromer grew up alone with his teacher mother in Stockholm’s working-class district after she divorced his father, a journalist. He started writing poetry while studying at the Sodra Latin school in Stockholm and his work appeared in several journals before he published his first book of poetry, “17 poems,” in 1954 to much acclaim in Sweden. He studied literature, history, poetics, the history of religion and psychology at Stockholm University and worked briefly as an assistant at the university’s psychometric institution. But he would spend the majority of his professional life in the much less glamorous settings of state institutions in the small Swedish towns of Linkoping and Vasteras, where he lived in a terraced house with his wife Monika, a nurse, and their two daughters. He first worked at an institution for juvenile offenders and later at a state-funded labor organization, where he helped disabled people choose careers and counseled parole offenders and those in drug rehabilitation.

SATURDAY, MARCH 28, 2015 www.thesheridanpress.com THE SHERIDAN PRESS A7 EGGS: Depending on intricacy an egg can take up to 20 hours to complete FROM 1 On Easter Sunday, the eggs were placed in baskets outside the church at midnight mass before being brought into the service by alter boys in a joyous procession to be blessed by the priest with holy water. The eggs were exchanged Easter morning with the brightly colored ones going to the young, and the darker designs reserved for older members of the community. The Ukrainians believed that as long as Pysanky are decorated, goodness would prevail over evil in the world. Wendtland is doing her part to spread goodness in the world by following tradition, preparing Pysanky from Ash Wednesday through Easter and delivering them as gifts to her The original way of doing this was to just let the egg dry out, but if the egg has any flaws in the shell it could be exposed to bacteria and spoil. Wendtland has dried eggs before, after receiving a large batch of goose eggs to decorate from a friend. “I put them in the back of the refrigerator and kept turning them and after several months they became so dry that when you turned the egg you could hear the yolk rolling around in there,” she said. “Now I blow them out.” To blow the innards of the egg out without cracking the shell, a small tool is used to insert a hole in the bottom and blow air inside, forcing the contents out the hole. The inside is then washed and dried through the same process. flame and as it drips this beautiful design appears,” Wendtland said. A varnish is added to the finished product to protect the color from fading, but you must be careful with these pieces of art as nothing really protects them from breaking. “There’s nothing there really, there’s just that thin shell,” she added. Now Wendtland is sharing her craft with others through public demonstrations for local children and senior citizens. For the past seven years, she has led lessons on the art for the sixth-grade class at JUSTIN SHEELY | THE SHERIDAN PRESS priest, family and members of her congregation as gifts. She learned the art 20 years ago from a friend while living in Dubois and has been mastering the craft annually since. “I just enjoy making art and I particularly enjoy making Christ-centered art,” Wendtland said. “I like doing these things from a visual standpoint — I guess because I am an artist I notice color and lines and things — but when it can be connected to my faith, so much the better.” Unlike modern egg dyeing, this process is not an easy, or quick, one. Wendtland said depending on the intricacy of the design, the size of the egg and how many colors are involved, one egg can take from four to 20 hours to complete. First, an eggshell must be prepared. Next, a design must be created and drawn on the egg in pencil and then the dyeing process can begin. A tool created for writing in wax called a kistka is used to cover the portions of the egg that should remain shell colored, and then the first color of dye is applied. More wax is added to the portions of the egg that should remain the first dye color, and the egg is dyed in the second color, and so on. In the end, the egg looks like a messy, lumpy wad of black wax, but then the egg is placed next to a candle and the wax begins to drip off. A cloth is used to wipe away the wax as it melts and a multicolored masterpiece is revealed. “That’s the best part of the process because you start with this kind of ugly thing and as you hold it up against the WYOMING BRIEFS | 3 arrested, charged in death of man who was decapitated CODY (AP) — Authorities have filed charges against three people in the death of a 30-year-old man who was found decapitated in northern Wyoming last year. Juan Antonio Guerra-Torres was found dead on Jan. 9, 2014, along a remote dirt road. The Park County Sheriff ’s Office identified the three taken into custody as 51-yearold John Louis Marquez; 27-year-old Sandra Garcia; and 28-year-old Pedro Garcia Jr. The Powell Tribune reports that Marquez was arrested in Texas, while the other two were taken into custody in Georgia. Marquez is charged with conspiracy to commit murder in the first degree and murder in the first degree, while Sandra Garcia and Pedro Garcia, Jr. are each charged with conspiracy to commit murder in the first degree and aiding and abetting murder in the first degree. UW hires new law school dean LARAMIE (AP) — The University of Wyoming has hired a new dean for its College of Law. Klint Alexander is currently an attorney in a major Southeastern law firm and senior lecturer in international law and politics at Vanderbilt University and the University of London’s Institute of Advanced Legal Studies. He will take over as dean on July 1. With interests that include energy law, utilities regulation and international trade, Alexander has served in teaching and leadership roles at several major institutions, including Yale, Vanderbilt and the University of London. Since 2013, he has been a member of the global business team of the law firm of former U.S. Sen. Howard Baker. In a statement issued through the university, Alexander says he hopes to bring a multidimensional vision and approach to the college. Sweetwater County inmates face drug charges ROCK SPRINGS (AP) — Three female inmates at the Sweetwater County Detention Center face additional charges after authorities say they possessed or had used drugs while in the jail. A detention officer was conducting a routine search of female inmates on March 19 when she found about 1.63 grams of methamphetamine in a plastic baggie in one of the inmate’s socks. The Rock Springs Rocket-Miner reports that all female inmates were subsequently tested for drugs, and two others tested positive for methamphetamine. Taking controlled substances into jail carries a maximum possible penalty of three-year imprisonment and a $3,000 fine. All three remain in custody at the Sweetwater County Detention Center. Legislature funds new passing lanes on Highway 59 CASPER (AP) — Highway construction season will begin soon in Wyoming. In the session that adjourned March 6, the Legislature approved a supplemental budget providing up to $17 million for new passing lanes on state Highway 59 in the Powder River Basin. But some critics say more money is needed for the busy highway. And others say by earmarking money to one particular project, the Legislature will delay other highway construction and maintenance projects around the state. Wyoming Transportation Department Director John Cox tells the Casper StarTribune that it’s not yet known which projects could be delayed because of the Highway 59 project. Hess Corp gives $15 million to University of Wyoming LARAMIE (AP) — Energy firm Hess Corp. has donated $15 million to the University of Wyoming to bolster research into extracting hard-to-get oil and gas deposits. With the new donation, Hess has now invested a total of $25 million in UW since 2013. This makes Hess the single largest corporate partner in the university’s history. Gov. Matt Mead and UW President Dick McGinity were joined by Hess Chief Executive Officer John Hess and President and Chief Operating Officer Greg Hill on Thursday to announce the company’s gift. Hess’s $15 million commitment includes $5 million for the High Bay Research Facility, $5 million for sponsored research on unconventional oil and gas reservoirs, $4.5 million for equipment and technology and $500,000 for laboratory performance development. The state will match $14.5 million of the gift.

One lucky student even gets to take home a Wendtland original Pysanky through a drawing give-away at the end of the demonstration. But there is a lot more to the learning than can be taught in a demonstration, Wendtland added. “There are several tools you need if you’re going to do this; I usually order online because there aren’t places close by where you can get the supplies,” she said. “I’ve got a video that I purchased at the Ukrainian Gift Shop online that teaches it, but you really would need someone to show you too.” A8 THE SHERIDAN PRESS www.thesheridanpress.com POPULATION: Growth FROM 1 Teton County led the state with the fastest population growth of 2.5 percent between July 2013 and July ‘Strong construction, services and viable tourism related activities in Teton County, without direct impact from energy price fluctuations, have resulted in a higher demand for labor.’ Wenlin Liu Principal economist with state economic analysis division 2014. Crook and Lincoln were the only other counties that saw population increases of more than 1.0 percent. “Strong construction, services and viable tourism related activities in Teton County, without direct impact from energy price fluctuations, have resulted in a higher demand for labor,” Liu said. The job growth rate was 3.9 percent in Teton County, compared to 0.1 percent for the state between 2012 and 2013. Over half of Wyoming’s counties experienced population declines. Niobrara, Converse and Washakie counties saw at least 1.5 percent declines. “People tend to move to areas where economies are vibrant,” Liu said. Mainly due to the drop in natural gas price in early 2012, the mineral extraction industry lost jobs and there was little total employment growth during the second half of 2012 and most of 2013. As a result, workers responded and an outmigration occurred mostly in the second half of 2013. In addition, oil exploration in states such as North Dakota, Texas, and Colorado showed strong expansion, which attracted many Wyoming energy workers and residents during that period. “However, the state’s economy gradually regained strength in 2014, thanks to the strong expansion of oil drilling, rebounding construction, and the strength of the service providing industries,” Liu said.

It can do more complete rebuilds than ever and is focusing more on larger and different types of contracts, he said. Across the room from the dragline dippers, welders are putting finishing touches on the first lift arm the company has ever made. In the mechanic shop, transmission parts and tools show more evidence of change at L&H. It started work on transmissions about three years ago, Schroyer said. It can now build and service transmissions and had even made its own designs. Mechanics and machinists will put that new area of expertise to work when its next NASA contract starts. There is even a rebranding, including a redesign of the logo, to go along with the expanding focus.

A10 THE SHERIDAN PRESS www.thesheridanpress.com SATURDAY, MARCH 28, 2015 Gowdy: Clinton wiped email server clean, deleted all emails WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton wiped her email server “clean,” permanently deleting all emails from it, the Republican chairman of a House committee investigating the 2012 Benghazi attacks said Friday. Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., said the former secretary of state has failed to produce a single new document in recent weeks and has refused to relinquish her server to a third party for an independent review, as Gowdy has requested. Clinton Clinton’s attorney, David Kendall, said Gowdy was looking in the wrong place. In a six-page letter released late Friday, Kendall said Clinton had turned over to the State Department all workrelated emails sent or received during her tenure as secretary of state from 2009 to 2013. “The Department of State is therefore in possession of all Secretary Clinton’s work-related emails from the (personal email) account,” Kendall wrote. Kendall also said it would be pointless for Clinton to turn over her server, even if legally authorized, since “no emails ... reside on the server or on any backup systems associated with the server.” Clinton, a likely Democratic presidential candidate, faced a Friday deadline to respond to a subpoena for emails and documents related to Libya, including the 2012 attacks in a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi that killed four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya. The Benghazi committee demanded further documents and access to the server after it was revealed that Clinton used a private email account and server during her tenure at State. Gowdy said he will work with House leaders to consider options. Speaker John Boehner has not ruled out a vote in the full House to force Clinton to turn over the server if she declines to make it available by an April 3 deadline set by Gowdy. Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, the top Democrat on the Benghazi panel, said Kendall’s letter confirmed “what we all knew: that Secretary Clinton already produced her official records to the State Department, that she did not keep her personal emails and that the Select Committee has already obtained her emails relating to the attacks in Benghazi.” Cummings said it is time for Gowdy and other Republicans to stop what he called a “political charade” and instead make Clinton’s emails public. Gowdy also should schedule Clinton’s public testimony before the Benghazi panel as soon as possible, Cummings said. Kendall said in his letter that Clinton’s personal attorneys reviewed every email sent and received from her private email address — 62,320 emails in total — and identified all work-related emails. Those totaled 30,490 emails or approximately 55,000 pages. The material was provided to the State Department on Dec. 5, 2014, and it is the agency’s discretion to release those emails after a review. Kendall said Clinton has asked for the release of all of those emails. He said the State Department is reviewing the material to decide whether any sensitive information needs to be protected. “Secretary Clinton is not in a position to produce any of those emails to the committee in response to the subpoena without approval from the State Department, which could come only following a review process,” Kendall wrote. Gowdy said he was disappointed at Clinton’s lack of cooperation. “Not only was the secretary the sole arbiter of what was a public record, she also summarily decided to delete all emails from her server, ensuring no one could check behind her analysis in the public interest,” he said.

Obama urges expansion of ‘take child to work’ day WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says the White House will open next month’s annual Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day to children whose parents don’t work in the building. He’s also asking private businesses to include kids who are left out of the experience because they don’t have a workplace to visit.

SPORTS SATURDAY, MARCH 28, 2015 www.thesheridanpress.com THE SHERIDAN PRESS B1 Broncs drop 1-0 heartbreaker to Wolverines BY MIKE DUNN [email protected] SHERIDAN — With the unseasonably warm weather the stands filled with spectators, and with a new head coach for the Broncs it was shaping up to be a perfect evening for the Sheridan soccer squad to begin their season. The outcome, however, was not nearly as pleasant. The Broncs begin their season with a tally in the loss column as they dropped a 1-0 heartbreaker to the Riverton Wolverines last night in Sheridan. Worse still, the Wolverines only goal came off of a penalty kick. “This was a good indicator for us to see how we stand at this point in the season,” rookie head coach Matt Johnson said. The game began with some tough breaks for Sheridan near their opponent’s goal. Riley Session was on his way to sending the ball to the back of the net on two separate occasions in the first half before being denied by strong goal keeping from Riverton. Dantae Crow also had a great look in front of the goalie box before it was knocked away by a handful of Wolverine defenders. Both teams struggled with ball possession leading to a stalemate for a majority of the game. Despite battling the glare from the setting sun, keeper Jess Edens had a fantastic first half with five saves. However, the Wolverines drew a foul in the Broncs’ penalty area and easily drove in the game’s only goal. “Giving up a goal on a (penalty kick) off of a foul is tough,” Johnson said. “Without that, it’s a 0-0 game.” The Broncs offense was just not clicking in the beginning part of the second half. Focused more on booming the JUSTIN SHEELY | THE SHERIDAN PRESS Sheridan’s Dalton Legerski (20) brings the ball closer to the goal as Riverton defends during the soccer game Friday at Sheridan High School. ball up high and playing the ball on the bounce, the Broncs weren’t able to find any type of rhythm. Johnson said his team will need to stay away from that strategy in later games. A late offensive push was not enough for Sheridan. Despite a handful of shots near the end of regulation, the Cowgirls have big shoes to fill next season LARAMIE (AP) — It’s rare that a college basketball team doesn’t suffer some attrition to graduation. But some years are worse than others. This is one of the “worse” years for the University of Wyoming Cowgirls. UW will graduate more than 3,000 points, 1,400 rebounds, 500 3-pointers and 320 games played when Kayla Woodward, Kaitlyn Mileto and Jordan Sibrel leave the program. That might seem like a daunting task, to replace so much production. But the cupboard isn’t exactly bare for UW coach Joe Legerski and his staff. “Over my years we’ve had some tremendous shooters, and (Mileto) and (Woodward) go right into that category. It will be a great loss with the points and experience,” Legerski said. “Somebody’s still going to have to shoot the basketball next year. The experience factor might be a bigger loss than the numbers that those two put up.” Wyoming finished 16-14 and tied for fifth in the Mountain West standings this past season. And it missed the postseason for the second straight year, a first for Legerski since his first two seasons in Laramie. As the record indicates, it was an up-and-down year for the Cowgirls. After a 5-5 nonconference schedule, Go for it Sheridan’s Dantae Crow attempts to block a kick during the soccer game Friday at Sheridan High School. JUSTIN SHEELY | THE SHERIDAN PRESS the Cowgirls started MW play 2-5, then rattled off wins in six of their next seven before finishing the season 3-3. That included a season-ending loss to Fresno State in the MW tournament quarterfinals. “Some nights we played very well and everyone was on the same page; other nights we didn’t have our best game,” Legerski said. “In the end you end up being a little better than .500.” One player who brought her “A’’ game almost every night was junior 5foot-7 point guard Marquelle Dent. She led the team and was third in the MW in scoring at 17.3 points a game. She was tops in the conference in assists (6.2 per game) and second in steals (2.2). Dent’s points and assists accounted for nearly half of UW’s offense. “We saw the growth of (Dent) and her game this season,” Legerski said. “She really took charge of this team. I’m very happy to have (her) coming back. She’ll provide the leadership this team will need.” UW also returns 5-10 wing Jordan Kelley as a starter. She moved into the starting lineup in December when freshman forward Bailee Cotton was lost for the season with a knee injury. Despite playing out of position most of that time, Kelley was fourth on the team in scoring (7.6 ppg) and second in rebounding (7.0 rpg). Look for her to slide back to her more natural guard position next year. “(Kelley) seemed to be the glue that held this team together at times,” Legerski said. “By giving her the opportunity to not play against 6-foot2 players all night long, that will be a big plus. “(She) made our offense move, and I know she’ll work hard this summer to be more of a scorer for us next year.” The 6-2 Cotton started her first 10 games as a freshman before tearing an ACL against Colorado on Dec. 21. Before the injury she averaged 6.3 points and 4.9 rebounds. Legerski said the team expects her to be back to full strength when school begins in September. UW’s other returning player with starting experience is 6-4 post Kaylie Rader. She played in all 30 games for the Cowgirls, starting 10. She was sixth on the team in scoring (5.2 ppg) and rebounding (3.3 rpg). The Cowgirls no doubt are hoping that this year’s heralded freshman class can make the strides necessary to contribute next winter.

Instead, they won a thriller. John Wall scored seven of his game-high 32 points in the second overtime, and the Wizards held off the Charlotte Hornets 110-107 on Friday night. Wall’s pull-up jumper with 9.9 seconds left made it 110-107, and Charlotte’s Mo Williams and Al Jefferson missed 3-pointers in the final seconds.

I know at times I didn’t get the ball in those situations. ... I guess now I’m making them and shooting them with confidence.” Wall tied the game late in regulation after Washington lost the six-point lead they built midway through the fourth. It was Wall’s second game in a row with 30-plus points, and the Wizards (41-32) snapped a four-game losing streak two nights after blowing a 10-point fourth quarter lead to Indiana. Washington reserve Drew Gooden finished with 15 points and 17 rebounds. “You play me a minute, two minutes, something’s going to happen, whether it’s going to be a block, a steal, a charge. I’m going to be active,” Gooden said. “You play me 39 minutes, a lot of stuff ’s going to happen.” The 39 minutes were more than Gooden played during the entire month of January. “Drew was huge and I just rode him,” Wizards coach Randy Wittman said. Washington outrebounded Charlotte 7261. Bradley Beal, questionable after spraining his right ankle Wednesday, added 16 points. Jefferson scored 31 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for Charlotte. Williams, who was questionable with a sore left knee, added 26 points and 10 assists. “I think this loss is going to haunt us all summer long, even when we do make the playoffs.” Jefferson said. “This loss could probably be the difference between the eighth seed and the seventh seed.” Charlotte (30-41), battling for the final Eastern Conference playoff spot, has lost eight of 10 and sits in 11th place. “We put ourselves in a position here tonight to win a game on the road, we made a couple of mistakes late on plays that need to be made and it cost us a win,” Hornets coach Steve Clifford said. Wall’s jumper tied it at 96 with 3.3 seconds left in regulation. Wall and Charlotte’s Kemba Walker both missed shots in the final seconds of the first overtime. Rasual Butler’s 3-pointer with 11.7 seconds left in regulation pulled Washington within one at 95-94. Charlotte’s Jeffrey Taylor made one of two free throws before Wall tied it. Williams’ 3-point attempt fell short to end regulation. Washington opened the fourth quarter with a 13-3 run and led 88-82 with 7:14 left. The Wizards then went cold, and Jefferson’s dunk, the Hornets’ first field goal of the quarter, tied it at 88 with 3:48 left. ‘That’s the reason you want to be a franchise guy. You want to be the leader of a team. I know at times I didn’t get the ball in those situations. ... I guess now I’m making them and shooting them with confidence.’ John Wall Point guard with the Washington Wizards Williams’ 3-pointer put Charlotte ahead 91-88. After a turnover by Washington, Walker’s two free throws put Charlotte up 95-91 with 14 seconds left. TIP INS Hornets: Split the season series with Washington 2-2. ... F Cody Zeller (sore right shoulder) missed his fourth straight game. Wizards: Signed G Will Bynum to a 10day contract and waived F Toure’ Murry. Bynum was scoreless in three minutes of action. ... F Kris Humphries (strained left groin), G Garrett Temple (right hamstring strain) and C-F DeJuan Blair (personal reasons) were out. WIZARD GRANT A WISH Washington partnered with Make-AWish Mid-Atlantic to grant the wish of 13-year-old Wizards fan Nitin Ramachandran of Herndon, Virginia. Ramachandran, who is battling a form of brain cancer, was signed to a one-day contract and took part in the team’s shootaround and pregame warmups. Ramachandran was then introduced as part of the starting lineup and sat with Wittman during the coach’s postgame news conference. WATCHING WILLIAMS Clifford said Williams will be monitored closely as he tries to play through the soreness in his knee. “He’ll have, I would think, limited practice time and then we’ll have to gauge it from half to half on just how his knee is feeling,” Clifford said before the game. “If he feels good, and he’s moving the ball, then we’ll try to play him regular minutes.” UP NEXT Hornets: Host Atlanta on Saturday. Wizards: Host Houston on Sunday. Bridge MOVING CARDS CHANGES CONDITIONS This week, we have looked at pairs of deals in which a minor change in the cards results in a major variation in the right declarer-play or defense. Here is the last one. What should happen in four spades after West leads the heart ace? East raises one heart to four hearts because he knows that his side has at least a 10-card fit and does not have the normal high-card values for game. There is a saying that a pre-emptive fourheart bid by one side is a transfer to four spades for the other side -- hence South's overcall. Yesterday, the defenders' clubs were 3-2 and spades 4-1. Then, after West began with two rounds of hearts, the only way home against best defense was to discard a low diamond from the South Phillip Alder hand, a loser-onloser play. Here, though, South must ruff the second heart, draw trumps, and knock out the club ace. If he makes the loser-on-loser play, West can cash his club ace and give East a club ruff. But how would West know to do that? On the second heart, East will play his lowest as a suit-preference signal. (East, with a desire for a diamond shift, would play his highest heart. With no preference, he would drop a middle card.) East should also try to steer his partner that way at trick one, playing his heart three. West, if confident that East has five hearts for his game-raise, should realize that playing a second heart cannot help. Reading the three as a suit-preference signal, he will cash the club ace at trick two and lead another club. In both of these scenarios, the later defensive diamond trick defeats the contract. 0328_A Section Template 3/27/15 5:17 PM Page 1 B4 THE SHERIDAN PRESS BABY BLUES® by Jerry Scott and Rick Kirkman COMICS www.thesheridanpress.com SATURDAY, MARCH 28, 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 GARFIELD by Jim Davis Proponents of BPA (the ubiquitous chemical bisphenol-A) are fueling a science war. To counter the growing sentiment that BPA is harmful, chemical-industry lobbyists recently launched a splashy advertising campaign asking consumers to "listen to the science" about BPA. We agree! But why would proponents of something that is now judged too toxic for pregnant mothers and babies tell you to look at the science? Well, let's look at the science. Where it is found: BPA is used to make strong, transparent plastics for food storage and packaging. It's in the thin, slightly powdery coating on the thermal paper used for most cash-register receipts. It's used in the epoxy resins that line most food cans and in some fire retardants in electronics. What the chemical industry says: The American Chemistry Council is correct that the Food and Drug Administration and the European Food Safety Authority say BPA is safe at the levels most of us are exposed to. What we say: The FDA and EFSA haven't yet taken into account a growing body of research suggesting that even at low levels, repeated exposure to BPA can change your endocrine functions (BPA is a hormone disruptor) and have other long-lasting effects on developing fetuses and infants, as well as damaging sperm quality. Other research is even more troubling. What nearly 100 human studies have found: Everyday BPA exposure is associated with troubling and increasingly common health issues such as behavior and reproductive problems; high blood pressure; polycystic ovarian syndrome; and weight-related problems, such as diabetes. --A brand-new study from New Jersey's Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine has found an association between BPA levels in children and risk for autism spectrum disorder. --A recent lab study from the University of Houston found that exposure to BPA used as flame-retardants in computers, cellphones and other electronics may be linked to unwanted weight gain. --Another new study puts the health-care cost of obesity related to BPA at more than $1.5 billion dollars over several decades. Those who know agree: When Newsweek recently interviewed 20 prominent scientists who research BPA, the majority said it's likely the chemical is linked to all of those health problems and to several forms of cancer as well, though more study is needed. "There's too much data consistent across studies ... time and time again ... to ignore it and suggest BPA has no effect on humans," one researcher said. How does BPA cause trouble? When it gets into living cells, BPA is an endocrine disruptor. Not only does that mess with your metabolism and lead to weight gain, it also acts like estrogen and may have a particularly strong effect on fetal sexual development. (It feminizes male infants in many animal experiments.) It also might have an effect on brain development given its ability to change the activation of genes: Animal studies -- and some research in children -suggest that it might increase the risk for aggression and anxiety. Here's what YOU can do: Although BPA is in many products you're in contact with every day, and alternative chemicals from the same bisphenol family (bisphenol B, C, E, F, G, M, P, PH, S, TMC and Z) used in many plastics labeled "BPA-free" may have similar effects, these strategies can help you reduce your exposure: 1. Don't heat/microwave food or drinks in plastic containers. Heat speeds the transfer of BPA from plastics into edibles. Store food, especially acidic foods like tomato sauce, in glass or uncoated metal containers. 2. Say "no thanks" to receipts, tickets and anything else printed on thermal paper. If you take one, wash your hands. BPA may be absorbed through the skin and can hitchhike from your fingers into your body when you eat. 3. Eat fresh instead of canned fruit. Ditto for veggies. Avoiding plastic food packaging whenever possible will reduce your exposure, too. Now that you've listened to the science, do you think glass will make a comeback? DEAR ABBY FRANK & ERNEST® by Bob Thaves Pauline Phillips and Jeanne Phillips TEEN'S TROUBLED FRIEND IS ON PATH TO SELF-DESTRUCTION DEAR ABBY: I am a 14year-old girl, and my friend "Leah" is out of control. She has been going down the REX MORGAN, M.D. by Woody Wilson and Tony DiPreta ZITS® by Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman DILBERT by S. Adams ALLEY OOP® by Dave Graue and Jack Bender wrong path since sixth grade. She is what people call "emo." She has attempted to end her life more than once. She has sex with lots of boys older than her and has issues with drugs and cutting. She was abused until she was 5 and then adopted. She doesn't seem to have any morals. She says she wants to become a serial killer and a prostitute when she grows up. She also wants to have a baby in the near future. Leah has borderline personality disorder and probably some others. I have tried talking to her about what she's doing to herself, but she sees nothing wrong with her destructive behavior. I want Leah to get help before she winds up raped, in prison, or on death row, or becomes a teen mother on the streets. I don't want her to become another number, another statistic. What should I do? Who do I call -the police, social services, a hotline? -- SCARED FOR LEAH DEAR SCARED: Your friend appears to be a very troubled and angry girl. If she thinks that by becoming a prostitute or a killer she will be able to assert control in her life where she has none, she's sadly mistaken. You say she has borderline personality disorder. If that's true, it must have been diagnosed by a licensed psychotherapist. Frankly, I don't think this is anything you can -- or should -- handle on your own. If your mother doesn't know what's going on, please tell her so she can alert Leah's mother and Leah can return to her therapist. However, if that's not possible, tell a counselor at school what you have told me so Leah can receive more treatment before she hurts herself or someone else. DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend and I have been together for three years and have planned our first vacation together. We decided to split the expenses 50/50. Last week, he announced that he has invited his sister and her boyfriend to go along and stay with us in the apartment we rented. Not only was I shocked that he would invite them without checking with me first, I became upset when he said he wasn't asking them to pitch in any money. Normally I'm not stingy when it comes to sharing, but I'm angry and I wonder if I'm overreacting.

Snow tires typically are less adept at stopping on hot, dry (and rainy) roads. Potholes, which can develop from the roads freezing and thawing, can wreak havoc on your car's suspension. You may need your wheels aligned and rotated. This will help with tire wear. Stay on top of your tire pressure. Learn to check the pressure, and have a pro help you. Underinflated tires can be very dangerous in the heat. -- Heloise VIDEO VOLUNTEER Dear Heloise: I am on one of the popular social-media sites, and I Heloise also am a huge animal lover and animal-adoption advocate. Lots of volunteers go into the shelters and photograph the dogs and cats (and other animals, like rabbits) that are available for adoption, and post the pictures so that they have a better chance of being adopted. What if the volunteers made videos instead of still pictures? You'd be able to see the animal's mannerisms, size, activity level, temperament, etc. Take the animal outside, away from the cold bars and the noise of the shelter, and shoot a short video (about a minute is enough) and post it on social media. Let's empty out the shelters and put these loving animals in great homes! -- Elizabeth in San Antonio Help Wanted Now Hiring Overnight Security Maintenance *Wage DOE Apply in person at the Front Desk. 1809 SUGARLAND DRIVE SHERIDAN, WY TAKING APPLICATIONS for a Big Horn High School Principal.

An imprudent need to be the know-it-all of the business world, or a focus on material gain, could interfere with productivity or disturb a usually harmonious relationship AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Even the most attractive path might have some pitfalls. Subtle crosscurrents are at play, so pay attention to where you put your feet. With financial matters it's best to adopt an attitude of "when in doubt, don't." PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don't go it alone. Share your ideas, as well as your passions. If you spend time in public places you might gain the attention of an influential stranger or meet someone who could become a friend. The more the merrier. IF MARCH 30 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: For the next 4-6 weeks life should treat you fairly evenly if you're gullible and willing to believe that what you see is what you get. Wishful thinking could lead you astray, so don't get caught up in dubious investments or romantic entanglements that could needlessly complicate your life. New friends or vacation plans can dominate July. Your shrewdness and business acumen hit a peak in August that will help you attain your ambitions.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Sugar is sweet and so are you. This evening might offer a perfect opportunity for a reenactment of honeymoon bliss. Put strategic ideas and business ideas on the back burner and concentrate on ways to spend quality time with loved ones. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Remain content with what you have. You might wonder if you'd rather be a small fish in a big pond or the big fish in the small one. The good news is, you don't need to make that decision. Focus on harmonious relationships SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Listen with your heart instead of your wallet. You might attract more than your fair share of avid admirers under these celestial conditions. Strut your stuff, but don't be tempted to dive into a new business partnership. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): When you're happy and feel confident in the way you look, others will respond in kind.

Her film work includes "Where the Road Runs Out," "Toolbox Murders" and "Ed Wood." Juliet is the daughter of actors Martin Landau and Barbara Bain. ARIES (March 21-April 19): You cannot be deterred when you're driven and determined. Security and comfort can be achieved through hard work. However, you might be grasping for straws in an effort to attain a secure position without effort. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Concentrate on pleasurable experiences and romantic moments. Your time is best spent finding ways to bring a smile to the face of a beloved partner. Put business strategies aside until better conditions prevail. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The ends might sometimes justify the means. Perhaps you're a bit more ambitious than usual or compelled to employ cutthroat tactics. You may be challenged to take the time to reassess what constitutes true happiness. CANCER (June 21-July 22): All the things you learned by rote in school might offer little help.

BIRTHDAY GUY: Actor Ewan McGregor was born in Perth, Scotland, today in 1971. This birthday guy has starred in such films as "The Impossible," "Angels and Demonsr" and "Moulin Rouge!" He also played ObiWan Kenobi in the "Star Wars" prequel trilogy. He earned an Emmy nomination for a guest appearance on "ER" in 1997 and has starred in London theatrical productions of "Guys and Dolls" and "Othello." ARIES (March 21-April 19): "Mind over matter" means you can conquer material difficulties through thoughtfulness. Put your thinking cap on and tackle intricate problems. Don't miss an opportunity to confer with others, since two heads are better than one. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A change of heart might be just what the doctor ordered to cure your woes. Problems in a relationship or with authority figures might evaporate if you change tactics. Careful reflection may clear up a mystery or solve a riddle. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): There is light and laughter at the end of the tunnel. Some problems disappear and a humorous discussion might help you see another situation from a different perspective. You might need a new outfit, a haircut, or another personal treat to lift your spirits. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Roll up your sleeves and prepare to dig in. Leave romantic banter to the sitcom characters and maintain a business-like demeanor. Consistent efforts will pay off if you don't become obsessed by something you can't have. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If you merely give an inch you can gain a mile. While it isn't wise to let your generosity overcome your common sense, you can yield to reasonable requests. You may be wiser than usual and able to gauge future results accurately. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You're batting a thousand. Your good taste shows where money or love is concerned. You have a discriminating eye and may find the perfect "whatsit" while shopping or a fascinating new friend through work. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Float on a cloud of optimism. Remind yourself that prosperity and contentment might be just around the corner. It's important to keep your eye fixed on longterm goals, even if shortterm objectives seem to stand in the way. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): An opportunity is only as good as your willingness to accept it and make it pay. Someone must turn the paddle consistently to make ice cream. The attractive carrot held in front of your nose may be unattainable unless you work hard. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Take pride in fulfilling promises. Be a man, or woman, of your word. It might require hard work and diligence to live up to a pledge or to honor commitments, but in the final analysis you'll be glad you did. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Misunderstandings melt away like snowflakes on a hot summer day. Unravel the snarled knots that have created a barrier between you and a significant other. Your charm and friendliness are assets to be used in large doses. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If no one will pay the piper, then it's time to change your tune. Don't exaggerate your abilities or offer false assurances. You might be called upon to follow through on a promise or to study something important. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Share your feelings. Speak the magic words and it's likely you will win the support of a business ally or the heart of a special someone. You can make a serious commitment to a cause, a person, or a new project. IF MARCH 31 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: You can take a lovely vacation or enjoy a fanciful fling while your romantic side is on display during the next 4-6 weeks. Where your finances or career are concerned, you should tread water, even if you feel it's time to reach for your dreams. In July, new friends and group activities might open some doors or inspire you to try bigger and better things. In August, you might get positive attention, so make an effort to advertise or to be in the public eye. From late September through early October you're luckier than usual. This is a fabulous time to launch plans, start something new, or embrace any opportunities that pop up.

Nesting season tips and tricks • Secure nest boxes to trees by wrapping bungee cords around the trunks. This holds the house firmly and doesn’t cause the damage that nails can cause. Once nesting season is over, remove the boxes and store until next year. • Use woven baskets mounted on their sides for robins to build nests in. Turn the baskets on their sides and attach them to a wall or tree with a few small screws. Mount them under an overhang to protect the birds from the elements. • Save quilt trimmings for spring, when birds are collecting nesting material. Leave clusters of soft yarn in your yard. (Use a couple of small grapevines to form a ball, stuff with nesting materials). • Plant a variety of flowers, shrubs and trees and keep your bird bath clean. • Set up birdhouses in several spots throughout your yard. Be sure to vary the size of the entrance hole so different species of birds can find a suitable house. • Hang birdhouses facing east so storms won’t blow through the birdhouse when they come through. Put a cork in it If you are starting an herb garden anytime soon think about this easy way to keep track of what you are planting. Just save your corks to use as plant markers. Write the name of the plant on the cork with a permanent marker, then stick the cork on a stake or bamboo skewer. If you don’t have wine corks you can buy some at a craft store. I’ll begin soon to open up the flower beds for the season. Pruning the dead heads and cutting things back for new growth to take the lead. This is always an exciting, hopeful time for gardeners. A little work has such a great payback. Choose those plants that worked well and plant a few more, or take out something that broke your heart and failed or move it to another spot that may work out better, mulch a little and have some fun in the dirt. SUSAN WOODY has been a home and garden writer for more than 20 years and is a master gardener. www.thesheridanpress.com THE SHERIDAN PRESS C1 Beyond window dressing: Treatment options show versatility BY ELAINE MARKOUTSAS UNIVERSAL UCLICK Cover-up isn't the issue. For most, windows are welcome — the more, the merrier. They usher in natural light, and sunshine is a surefire pick-me-up. There is that privacy thing — you don't want to feel like you're living in a fishbowl. But equally important, is the matter of decor's finishing touch, the punctuation and warmth (both visual and physical) that fabric adds, in the form of well-chosen window treatments. "Draperies are an important design element," says Marta Enriquez, director of interior design for Ethan Allen. "They can be used to filter light and protect furniture, to darken a room, and to keep it cooler or warmer. They can open up a space or make it appear cozier — depending on how they are hung — and can be used to add color and texture. They are great for drawing the eye to a beautiful view or architectural (element) you want to showcase." Although some types of draperies (here's looking at you, swag) seem fussy or dated, working with an interior style and architecture for an appropriate complement will net major design dividends. But buying window treatments is not as easy as snapping up a chair. Or is it? That depends on whether or not your windows themselves are standard issue, meaning their meas- urements. If the dimensions are not unusually wide or tall, you're in luck. Most retailers today carry ready-made (or off-the-rack, in fashion parlance) draperies. The price ranges from just a little bit more than nice shower curtains (around $40) to several hundred dollars and up, depending on fabric (quality and how much of it), whether or not there's a lining, complexity of style (rod pocket, where fabric is folded over and stitched to allow sliding into the rod, is the simplest construction), and trims. That's not all. There's quite the range in fabric and pattern styles — from elegant silks and velvets to nubby linens and smooth cottons, from opaque to sheer, from stripes (skinny or fat) and geometrics to ikats and zigzags, from florals to paisleys. The designs can be screen or digitally printed, even embroidered. Another bonus: dressmaker details. Contrast borders, ribbon ties, pompon edging, ruching (a kind of puckering), bands at the top, bands at the bottom, even nailheads or grommets used to define. The punctuation also is setting off top treatments like fixed boxy headers or loose valances. "Cool white linen panels," for example, "can offer simple, sophisticated style on their own," says Enriquez. "But when you add a Greek key tape trim, the same panels take on a more classic, elegant look." COURTESY PHOTO | UNIVERSAL UCLICK Belgian linen, a premium linen fabric made from European-grown flax fibers, hangs in a classic window treatment that complements decor appointed with wide plank pine and iron finishes. The 50-inch wide panels are available in three lengths, from 84 to 108 inches, and may be hung by pole pocket or clip rings. Rain gardens clean up surface waters R ain gardens are depressions that hold water for a short period of time and are increasingly popular with homeowners, municipalities and are mandatory for many commercial businesses. They catch storm water runoff from sidewalks, parking lots, roads and roofs and typically have some kind of vegetation planted in them. Not only do rain gardens slow water down to give it time to soak into the ground and be used by plants, but they also filter out sediment and chemical pollutants. SCOTT Communities are now HININGER being more aggressive in | using these rain gardens to catch runoff water before it enters streams. This technique has been used in agriculture for many years to help reduce soil runoff, fertilizer runoff and chemical runoff from entering water systems. The main principle is to use vegetation to slow the water down so the sediment settles out, allowing the water to infiltrate into the soil. Once the water enters into the soil it can be used by plants or to help recharge aquifers which can eventually provide late summer stream flow in some cases, benefitting the riparian area’s plants and animals. One potential opportunity to look at is as simple as directing the water into these rain garden areas instead of down the rain gutters to the streets, sloping the sidewalks toward grass areas. Parking lots can direct the water toward planting areas, which can then benefit the plants and most of the excess water can be allowed to infiltrate into the ground. Directing water from the roof to a series of depressions and planting fruit trees in these depressions results in less household water being used and the extra water would be appreciated by the fruit trees. Several things need to be taken into account when constructing such devices, such as the soil type and the need to be permeable. Soil with a high percentage of clay needs to be amended or replaced to allow better permeability. Make sure these rain gardens are not too close to the house and the slope is away from structures. There are products that have been developed to help allow water to penetrate into the ground such as permeable concrete sidewalks and permeable asphalt. These specialty products are quite interesting and sometimes need some additional engineering to stand up to heavy traffic. Pavers can be used for sidewalks or parking areas. Another product available is a plastic grate system which can be placed down and either filled with recycled glass, gravel or sod (the grate system keeps the material from moving around and offers some structural support). These sod areas can be managed just like a lawn, but offer more uses. The use of specific plant materials for these rain garden areas will depend on your location, climate and personal aesthetics. It does get a little more complicated as far as plant selection and design concerns as to how much potential water the area will receive and how long water will stand in the area. These questions will determine the plant selections needed and the design of the rain garden area. Most home rain gardens are only 6 inches deep and one-third the size of a roof or less. The other item that is being looked at from a research standpoint is adding material to the soil which will absorb or hold chemicals, such as activated charcoal and a new product called a biochar (which is a product developed from organic matter such as poultry wastes and is better at absorbing chemicals than charcoal). Most of us that have had aquariums know that using activated charcoal takes unwanted chemicals out of the water. So if you are interested in cleaning up our surface waters and adding water back to our dry soils then think about installing rain gardens or directing rainwater to vegetative areas first before it enters the storm drains.

Heizer’s personal favorite historic person is mountain man, Jim Bridger. SHERIDAN — Dennis Heizer, a 64-year-old father of two daughters, two sons and 10 grandchildren, has been in Sheridan since 1977. He says that fact makes him qualified to be three-fourths Wyoming citizen. The contrast between his work at the First Interstate Bank and his "hobby" is remarkable. Heizer is an historic re-enactor with his character dating to the days of his hero, Jim Bridger, of the early 1800s. Heizer appeared at this interview in full frontiersman outfit consisting of fringed, one-strap buckskin trousers that he made himself. "Absolutely authentic, artificial sinew," Heizer said of his outfit. Heizer’s mountain man outfit included a drinking cup made from a cow horn, a .58-caliber Hawkens percussion cap rifle and pistol and a necklace made from sea turtle claws. The cow horn drinking cup had a handle formed by heating a long strip of horn and bending it into shape. Upon seeing him in his outfit, Hiezer says many people will ask if he will make the buckskin trousers for them. “No, it takes too long and costs too much,” Heizer said. He pointed out that just about everything needed to put together a full outfit is available through the many vendors at the Rendezvous held in Riverton, Pinedale and Fort Bridger. Heizer’s fascination with the period began when one of his daughters gave him the book, “I Didn’t Know That About Wyoming.” Reading that book led Heizer to reading many others and building an impressive knowledge of the history of trappers and traders who were the first white explorers to discover the rivers and trails through the Rockies and Plains. Heizer is hooked on the history. He tells of traders hauling keel boats up the river to trade what they considered to be cheap $.50 knives to local tribesmen for what they (the tribes people) considered to be worthless beaver pelts; both parties were convinced that they had gotten the best of the deal. Bridger, while having nearly total recall, was illiterate. The story of Bridger carving his name in Independence Rock is a very tall tale worthy of Bridger’s time. Heizer recalls his experiences riding in parades with friends dressed to remember the cowboys, military men and others who have played a vital part in Wyoming’s history. They would ride from one end of the parade to the other firing their guns. This was brought to an end by the parade officials who were afraid that they might scare the horses. Heizer says that he occasionally erects a teepee in his backyard and also keeps a target out there for tomahawk practice. His daughters would take new dates out to throw tomahawks before the date began. Heizer gives a yearly presentation at Highland Park School and is available to do so for other organizations upon request. Heizer can be reached at [email protected].

CENTER STAGE | I The privilege of working with amazing people have lived in Sheridan 25 years and began volunteering as a home-delivered meals driver some 17 years ago, eventually working in several positions at the Sheridan Senior Center. As the volunteer director I have had the privilege of writing this annual spring article in honor of National Volunteer Appreciation Week established in 1974 by a program of “Points Of Light” as a way of recognizing volunteers and all they do in their communities and ultimately for our nation. This year, April 12-18 has been set aside to nationally celebrate volunteers. The knowledge of what we have accomplished with the invaluable help of volunteers this past year alone at the Senior Center and throughout the community is quite overwhelming. A few examples of many include: 107,773 meals served to NANCY more than 1,500 people, in large part due MCKENZIE to home-delivered meal volunteers and | those volunteers who assist in the Senior Center dining room and at our meal sites throughout Sheridan County. Senior Companion volunteers have been invaluable for assisting individuals to stay in their homes and volunteers have been instrumental in making the dream of the Senior Center running its own thrift store a reality. Each time I sit down to write this article, I have struggled to find the words that adequately express my heartfelt thank you to all those incredible volunteers, throughout Sheridan County, who help make the human services offered in our great community possible. This year is of utmost significance to me as it will be my last as the volunteer director. I am moving to the southern Wyoming/northern Colorado area to aid my family in caring for my father. It is with tears of joy that I reflect on nine years of working in the best supportive loving community that I could have hoped for. I have been blessed by countless moments spent in awe at the tenacity and hard work of dedicated volunteers who range in age, skill level, backgrounds and education but all who come with their own level of desire to be of service to others. From each, I have learned countless lessons of how to selflessly give of one’s self. I have learned that there are no barriers to volunteering, if the desire to give is great enough. I have witnessed volunteers overcome social, physical, mental and developmental challenges to give of themselves. Despite health issues, time constraints, bad weather, you name it, loyal volunteers show up to faithfully fulfill their volunteer commitment, ‘cause that’s what they do! It is with tears of sadness as I know there will be a huge whole left in my heart, missing the wonderful people I have been blessed to work side-by-side with. I appreciate all you’ve done to make the past nine years the most enjoyable work experiences I have had. The Sheridan community and specifically the Sheridan Senior Center, staff, clients and volunteers have been like family to me. I relish laughter, hugs, kind words spoken, moments of awe. In my travels, wherever life may take, I fear I may never have the privilege of working with such an amazing group of individuals. Thank you for blessing my life in so many ways. NANCY MCKENZIE has been the director of Volunteer Services at the Sheridan Senior Center for nine years. Center Stage is written by friends of the Senior Center for the Sheridan Community.

She is the daughter of LoriAnn Wilson and Eugene Robinson. Throughout high school Robinson has been involved in many extracurricular activities including student council, National Honor Society and W.A.T.C.H. club. In addition, she began playing the clarinet in junior high and has participated in the SHS band program all four years of high school. Robinson has nominated Diane Knutson, Sheridan Robinson High School band instructor as an outstanding teacher. Robinson appreciates Knutson’s ability to teach, love and support her students. Knutson reciprocates that same appreciation for Robinson stating, “Asia is an outstanding musician with a great attitude! She is super organized, and I have come to depend on her to help me in many ways in the classroom. In fact, she often knows what needs to be done before I do! Her positive attitude and great work ethic make her a pleasure to have in the classroom, and I know these same traits will lead her to much success in her future.” Robinson has been selected for AllState Band three years in a row. She is grateful for the recognition of her hard work and values the unique opportunity to share her musical passion with others from across the state. In addition, Robinson was selected for the Wyoming All-State marching band which performed at the Macy’s Day Parade in 2012. She recalls visiting New York City and has fond memories of the friendships she established as well as her Black Friday shopping trip in Times Square. Robinson’s musicality also extends to the percussion ensemble, symphony orchestra and the Sheridan College band. As a junior she participated in the school musical, “Grease.” Although she is committed to pursuing her passion for music, Robinson also demonstrates an incredible ability to achieve academically, which is evidenced by the fact she maintains a 3.89 GPA and has earned an academic letter for the past three years. Robison’s academic schedule has included Advance Placement calculus, human anatomy and physiology, physics, psychology, U.S. history and pre-calculus as well as a P.A.C.E. Internship. Nancy Crowe, SHS math teacher, has taught Robinson for the past two years in both pre-calculus and AP calculus. Robinson says that Crowe genuinely cares about her students’ success. She appreciates the expectations and daily challenges presented by her teacher and describes Crowe as “fun to be around and easy going.” Likewise, Crowe says, “Asia is full of positive energy. She's always smiling, usually laughing, and just great fun to teach.” This past semester Robinson interned at Wyoming Rehab. She is thankful for the opportunity to work alongside the physical therapists and learn about the career field she intends to pursue. She credits SHS athletic trainer, Joanne Brewster, with first igniting her interest in physical therapy. Robinson was a participant in the student trainer program directed by Brewster. Outside of school, Robinson is a sales associate at the Boot Barn. She has enjoyed learning about the retail business, the sales incentive program and meeting new people. During the week-long spring break for SHS students Robinson has joined Spanish teacher Mario Montano and other SHS students for a trip to Costa Rica. She has not traveled outside of the U.S. and is excited to experience another culture. Robinson’s strong work ethic, positive attitude and ability to excel will ensure her continued success. Following high school graduation, Robinson plans to pursue an athletic training associate degree at Sheridan College.

Laramie lost to Billings 6-9. SHS students take part in Big Brothers Big Sisters program BY SAMANTHA HAMILTON SHERIDAN HIGH SCHOOL SHERIDAN — For the past two years, students at Sheridan High School have been part of a growing program in Sheridan known as Big Brothers Big Sisters. Since being introduced in the school, the number of students involved has more than doubled, from six to 15 students. For some kids, the privilege of having an older brother or sister to help guide and support them is only a dream, a thought in passing as a friend tells them about how his sister took them to get ice cream in the park the other day. “Everyone needs someone in their lives to help give them a little more support, a little boost to make their day that much better,” BBBS director Sandy Thiel said. For this reason, the mentor program was founded more than a century ago in 1904. BBBS has been in Wyoming since the 1970s and in Sheridan since 2003. Thiel has been involved since September 2013 and has helped the program grow even bigger, especially at Sheridan High School. Thiel was contacted by Kathleen Pilch, the professional and community experience coordinator at SHS, to talk to the Interact Club about the program. Since then, it has received strong support and assistance from other faculty throughout the school who help to recruit more mentors. SHS students participate through two site-based programs at Sagebrush Elementary and Woodland Park Elementary. A Big meets with his or her Little for one hour each week, usually during lunch or before school. Mentors can do activities such as arts and crafts, helping with schoolwork, playing at recess and even ongoing chess games. Sophomore Heather Belus joined BBBS in the fall, and she said it has completely changed her outlook on the program. “I thought it would look good on college applications, but actually I really enjoy hanging out with my Little now,” Belus said. “She is a kindergartener. She gets really excited but doesn’t talk a lot, and she’s also very independent.” Becoming a Big takes more than a teacher recommendation. To be eligible, interested students must be at least a junior in high school and have a 2.5 grade point average or better. According to Thiel, additional qualifications include background checks, an interview process where the potential mentors interact with the interviewers and a period of informal training both online and in person. Sophomore Anna Crabb recently completed her training after being referred to the program by a friend. “She [Thiel] went and found a Little that kind of matched my interests,” Crabb said. “So far, I’m just keeping her company and being her friend. I just want to make a difference in her life. It’s the best thing someone can do: make a positive impact on someone.” Schwarzenegger pushes Congress to save after-school funding LOS ANGELES (AP) — Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is calling on Congress to preserve federal funding for after-school programs in a proposed reauthorization of the 2002 No Child Left Behind law. At a national summit in Los Angeles on Tuesday, Schwarzenegger will join education, business and law enforcement leaders in demanding that any bill maintain afterschool funding. A House proposal would eliminate afterschool centers designed to help children in low-income neighborhoods and 68 other programs in favor of a flexibility grant that would allow states to decide how to use funds. “I’m always worried when someone says, ‘It will give them more flexibility,’” Schwarzenegger said Monday in an interview with The Associated Press. “I think afterschool money is for after-school programs.” The bill is stalled while Senate leaders work on a bipartisan draft. An increasing number of children come from homes where both parents work, making after-school care a necessity for many families. In 1965, four in 10 children had more than one parent who worked; by 2014, that number had risen to more than six in 10. But skeptics of federally funded after-school initiatives point to U.S. Department of Education data showing that participants do not demonstrate improved academic outcomes. The most recent agency report found that almost none of the performance targets was met, with only 38.4 percent of elementary-school participants showing improvement in math grades and 40.2 percent in English. For middle and high school students, the numbers were also bleak: 33.8 percent had improved grades in math between fall and spring and 34.6 percent in English. “The evidence shows they did not have an impact,” said Mark Dynarski, a fellow at the Brookings Institution. The nonprofit Afterschool Alliance estimates that more than 10 million children are enrolled in after-school programs, the vast majority in private care. Just 1.6 million are in a federal 21st Century Community Learning Center, targeted to children in lowincome neighborhoods — the same communities where single parents or both parents are likely to work.

This is most certainly true. More needs to be said. “Jesus loves you” is gospel, good news. “Love the Lord” and “Love your neighbor as yourself ” are commands, law. Note the different directions of the love. Love to you from God in Christ Jesus is gospel. Love from you back to God or to another human being is law. The order is also important. We love because God first loved us (1 John 4:19). God loved us first. Both law and gospel are necessary, yet they must be properly distinguished. Gospel without law has little meaning. PAUL Law without gospel leads to hypocrisy CAIN and despair. | Is it loving toward God or our neighbor to agree with a Bible verse like “God is love,” yet deny the existence or truth of other verses? No. “You shall have no other Gods,” “Honor your father and your mother,” “You shall not commit adultery,” or Jesus saying, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6) are just as true as “God is love.” In fact, without Christ Jesus, generic love of or for a generic “god” is meaningless. Don’t just take my word for it. Hear St. John in 1 John 4:1-12: Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit SPONSORS | FIRST INTERSTATE BANK Directors, Officers & Staff that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already. Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are from the world; therefore they speak from the world, and the world listens to them. We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error. Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.” It is not hateful for a parent to tell a child to not touch a hot stove, to not run out in the middle of the street, to avoid illegal drugs and to come home in time for a curfew. These are the words and actions of a loving parent. God the father loves us enough to send His only son to save us from ourselves and the Holy Spirit to deliver Jesus’ complete gift of salvation to us in word and sacrament. Seek him next week, Holy Week, and always. WAREHOUSE MARKET Management & Employees WYOMING ELECTRIC INC. Dave Nelson & Staff 125 N. Sheridan Ave. FIRST FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK 46 W.

Women’s Conference, which is scheduled for April 17 from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. at Sheridan College. Tickets for the conference are $40 per person, while tickets for the banquet dinner only are $30. Combination tickets for the conference and dinner cost $65. Karen McNenny will highlight the event with three different presentations. Her keynote, “Wonder Woman Wants a Day Off !” will explore how you can deal with difficult situations, cranky people and bad hair days. McNenny will bring to life the paradox and struggles of so many women as they manage work, home and personal preservation. Her second presentation of the day will focus on building community. She contends that no matter what the problem or what the question, community is the answer. Last, she’ll address the crowd at the Woman of the Year Banquet set to begin at 6 p.m. April 17 in the Edward A. Whitney Academic Center atrium. This year’s conference has been separated into two tracts — personal and professional. Attendees don’t have to stick to one tract, but can mix and match based on interest. Throughout the day, interactive workshops will include instruction on basic doit-yourself projects, journaling, nutrition, resume building, volunteerism, negotiating, running for office and the need for networking. At the end of the conference, attendees will be introduced to five local nonprofits, which will then be available during the cocktail hour to visit with potential new volunteers and board members. To wrap up the day, each nominee for Woman of the Year will be honored and the 2015 winner will be announced during a banquet dinner. For a complete schedule of events and list of speakers, see thesheridanpress.com/fab.

David Crosby repeatedly asks about ambulance after accident SANTA YNEZ, Calif. (AP) — A recording of an anguished 911 call from David Crosby shows the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer repeatedly asking how soon an ambulance will arrive to help a pedestrian he just hit with his car. Crosby was driving on a highway near his Santa Barbara County home on Sunday when the accident occurred. He tells a 911 dispatcher the sun was in his eyes and he couldn’t see 46-year-old Jose Jimenez jogging. The recording of the call was released Wednesday by the California Highway Patrol. After a dispatcher tells him an ambulance is on the way, Crosby calls back to ask how soon it will arrive. Jimenez was hospitalized with broken bones.
