SCSD2 continues to plan for alternative school
BY ALISA BRANTZ
[email protected]
SHERIDAN — The Alternative
School Planning Study that
Sheridan County School District 2
compiled for the Wyoming School
Facilities Commission has been
completed and approved, recommending that the district explore
building a collaborative alternative
high school on or near the Sheridan
College campus.
Recently the district received
funds from the SFC to evaluate and
determine the needs of the district’s alternative schools.
Previously, Fort Mackenzie High
School and the Wright Place Junior
High School have not been on any
of the state’s priority lists for
capacity or needs because they
were housed on the junior high
campus and included in the junior
high numbers. The district has
been requesting they be prioritized
for the past several years and this
year the state recognized it as a
viable need and funded the study.
SEE ALTERNATIVE , PAGE 2
District estimates of future enrollment for
Sheridan High School show the site would
not allow for an alternative school to be
housed within the current facilities.

FROM STAFF REPORTS
SHERIDAN — A Sheridan
man is scheduled to appear
before a federal court
Wednesday after being indicted for making counterfeit $100
bills.
Wyatt T. McMahon is scheduled for an arraignment in the
U.S. District Court in Casper.
He made an initial appearance
Friday where the charge
against him — conspiracy to
commit counterfeiting and
forging obligations or securities of the U.S. — and its possible penalties were
explained.
The indictment alleges that
McMahon made the fake
money in July 2013.
If found guilty, McMahon
may face up to 20 years
imprisonment, a $250,000 fine,
three years of supervised
release and a $100 special
assessment.
McMahon’s codefendant
Amanda R. Buell has also
been charged with uttering
counterfeit obligations and
securities for allegedly using
one of the fake $100 bills at
Wahoo Likkers in Buffalo. If
found guilty, she faces the
same potential penalty as
McMahon.
Buell is scheduled to make
an initial appearance today in
Casper.
Additional details regarding
the crimes were included in
the court documents.

could take another year but that process
shouldn’t hold up reconstruction, Phillips
said.
The gaping hole there now is an improvement, said local resident Ellen Jungck.
“It’s good because when the buildings were
there it was kind of like, ‘Oh, it’s depressing,’” Jungck said. “There’s a piece of history now that’s gone, so it’s kind of sad. At the
same time, I’m glad because we can move forward.”
SHERIDAN — The
Sheridan City Council
took a cooperative agreement off the table and
approved the plan
Monday evening that
lays out work on
Holloway Avenue.
The joint city-county
project calls for $1 million in improvements to
bring the gravel road to
urban street standards
from 11th to 15th street,
including curb and gutter and sidewalk.
The deal mandates the
city take ownership of
13th through 15th street
— currently a county
road with unincorporated residences along it —
upon construction completion, a stipulation
that caused concern for
some councilors and led
to the group tabling the
matter at the March 17
meeting.
Councilor Jesus Rios
was one such voice but
said Monday he felt comfortable with the agreement after talking to
Mayor John Heath and
City Public Works
Director Nic Bateson
and checking out the
area.
“I was concerned, really, what is that cost-burden to city residents?”
Rios said. “I’m pleased to
know it’s going to be
minuscule when you
think about the life of
the two blocks in particular within the county’s
area.”
He later added the city
would need to provide a
chip seal on the reconstructed road in a few
years, but that $8,000
expenditure would be
the only expense over
the next 20 to 25 years.

Devastated by winter fire, Wyoming town looks to rebuild
CHEYENNE (AP) — A western Wyoming
town knocked back by a fire that destroyed a
large portion of its downtown last winter is
dusting off for tourist season and could begin
rebuilding as soon as this summer.
A demolition crew razed two burned buildings in Dubois last week. The integrity of a
third is being assessed as the property owner
begins to consult with architects and contractors on how to replace the structures.
A fourth building burned has been deemed
salvageable.
Dubois, population 1,000, is a fly-fishing and
hunting destination between the Absaroka
and Wind River ranges about 50 miles east of
Grand Teton National Park. The new storefronts will retain the town’s Western flavor,
said Reg Phillips, manager of the Wind River
Land and Building Co. properties.
“The boardwalks survived the fire just
fine,” Phillips said. “No matter what happens, they will still be there.”
The eight businesses destroyed in Dubois
included an accounting firm, gallery, fly shop
and a flea market called The Mart where
dozens of people rented space to sell antiques
and other items.
Investigators theorize the fire began in
dried-out building material next to a stove
chimney in the attic of The Mart. An official

During the regular meeting of the Northern
Wyoming Community
College District board of
trustees Thursday at
Sheridan College, a recommendation will be voted
upon authorizing the college administration to enter
into a long-term ground

purpose of building an
alternative high school on
property owned by
Sheridan College.
The school will also be
included in the district’s
five-year facilities plan

Environmentalists sue over
Grand Teton grizzly take limit
CHEYENNE (AP) —Environmentalists are suing
over how many grizzly bears would need to be killed
by elk hunters before Grand Teton National Park
officials would have to reassess their rules for elk
hunting in the park.
The Sierra Club and Western Watersheds Project
filed suit Friday in federal court in Washington,
D.C.
The lawsuit against the National Park Service and
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says planning for elk
hunters to kill as many as four grizzlies over the
next seven years fails to account for cumulative
threats to grizzlies across the region.
Grand Teton is among the few national parks that
allow hunting.
Hunters regularly kill grizzly bears in self-defense
in western Wyoming. That’s only happened once in
Grand Teton, when two elk hunters killed a grizzly
in self-defense in 2012.

Cheyenne getting veterans
mental health care facility
CHEYENNE (AP) — The Veterans Affairs
Department is building an extended-stay mental
health facility in Cheyenne so Wyoming veterans
can get care closer to home.
The Wyoming Tribune Eagle reported Tuesday
work on the 10-bed, $6.75 million facility is underway and is expected to be finished by the spring of
2016.
The veterans hospital in Cheyenne currently provides outpatient mental health care and outreach
services. Patients who need more intensive, longterm care have to go to Denver or elsewhere.
The new facility will offer that care in Cheyenne,
closer to veterans’ families.
VA officials expect to hire at least 26 additional
staff members for the facility, but the number of
employees hasn’t been determined yet.
The facility will have private rooms, communal
living areas, a kitchen and a laundry area.

CITY: City, County to be responsible for project costs
FROM 1
Councilor Alex Lee, however, still opposed the agreement. Lee insisted he supports working with the county on
the construction portion of the project, but disagreed with
ultimately taking ownership of a street with homes on
both sides that are not annexed into city limits. Right now,
only 11th through 13th street are in city limits.
“The city [would be] taking on an expense in an area
where we’re not being compensated to cover that expense,”
he explained.
Other councilors felt the road acted as a city street.
Numerous city residents travel the heavily trafficked
Holloway Avenue each day to get to work, Councilor
Thayer Shafer said.
Sheridan County Commission Chairman Tom Ringley
spoke in support of city-county cooperation for the
Holloway Avenue agreement and also moving forward.
“I’m really optimistic, and so is the Council, on the ability of Sheridan County and the city of Sheridan to act as
one,” he said.
The measure eventually passed by 5-1 vote with only Lee
dissenting.
Under terms of the joint agreement, the county will
administer all construction. The city and county will each
be responsible for 100 percent of project costs on their
respective sections of Holloway Avenue, and the parties
will split engineering services 50-50.
The Sheridan County commissioners and Sheridan City
Council each previously passed a memorandum of understanding on how to proceed with road annexations.
Holloway Avenue will be the first construction project to
use the conditions laid out in the MOU.
In other business:
• Approval in the consent agenda finalized the contract
between the city and IAFF Local 276 for fire protection.
Firefighter union leaders and City Council members spent
previous meetings negotiating the finer points of the
agreement and reached a preliminary deal on March 17.
The last steps were union and subsequent council ratification.
• The Council held a public hearing and then approved
the first reading of an annexation of roughly 25,000 square
feet on Independent Lane. The land will be zoned R-1 residential.
Sheridan initiated the annexation to rectify an awkward
split in the municipal boundary caused when a parcel
north of Independent Lane was annexed several years ago,
leaving the small area to the south unincorporated.
A staff report found the city could provide solid waste
collection and also police protection. The property already
has access to central water and sewer, and the city would
honor its franchise agreement with existing electrical utilities.

Will 2015 be the busiest tourism season to date?
BY MIKE DUNN
[email protected]
SHERIDAN — Tourism is a moving target, Sheridan
Travel and Tourism Executive Director Shawn Buckley
said.
It changes annually — they never know how much of
their audience they will retain from last year or what new
tourists they will draw in for the coming year.
There are too many variables to definitively predict a
boom or bust tourism season in Sheridan. But if everything falls into place, this year could be the most successful on record.
Last year was the most successful tourism season for the
state of Wyoming. Approximately 10.1 million people visited the state, increasing 11 percent from the previous year.
This created an 11 percent increase in the tourism-based
industries over the past 10 years and added an 85 percent
increase for tax revenues from tourism and hospitality
industries.
Locally, 2015 is looking very positive for Sheridan County
tourism. There has already been a 16 percent increase in
lodging tax revenues from this time last year.
“It’s really a strong indication of what is to come,”
Buckley said.
The peak season for tourism is typically between
Memorial Day and Labor Day.
But the successes of a handful of events taking place
this summer are what could send Sheridan toward record
breaking numbers as well.
“The more we have to advertise about all that we have to
offer and what is going on in the community only adds to
the momentum we already have and reinforces our communications through our marketing mediums,” Buckley
said.
Rob Green, at Trails End Concert Park, is absolutely
floored with the success of Big Horn Country USA ticket
sales thus far. Since sales for this year’s concert began,
people have purchased tickets from all corners of the
nation including California, New England, the Midwest
and Canada.
“Eighty-five percent of our buys are out of county,”
Green said. “This isn’t our money being spent here, this is
new money coming in … I can’t believe we’ve been able to
do that.”
The concert venue expanded its capacity from last year
and it has paid dividends thus far. With 3,300 tickets sold,
organizers said they are about halfway to their goal of a
record 8,500 concert attendants.
Between the area hotels and restaurants, Green expects
the concert goers to bring millions in revenues to the local
tourism industry.
“Toby Keith plays 35 cities, it’s not like he’s just playing
in Sheridan,” Green said. “People can see him anywhere,
but they are deciding to come to Sheridan.”
Likewise, the Sheridan WYO Rodeo breaks attendance
records almost every year, and this year is no exception.
Jeff Wells, a member of the Sheridan WYO Rodeo board
and its ticket committee, said tickets are selling at a brisk
pace compared to 2014, nearly one-third more tickets than
they sold at this time last year.
“If that continues, obviously we are going to blow last
year’s tickets and attendance numbers out of the water,”
Wells said.
The Sheridan WYO Rodeo is expected to draw 22,000 people, both regionally and nationally, to Sheridan this July.
Buckley said other large events, such the reopening of
JUSTIN SHEELY | THE SHERIDAN PRESS
While area economic and tourism leaders say events like the Sheridan WYO Rodeo and Big Horn Country USA will draw visitors from
out of town for events, others say the area’s tourism season could depend largely on weather. If the spring and summer months are
too rainy, it deters campers. If it is too dry, fire restrictions could also deter camping.
the Sheridan Inn and The Brinton Museum, are bound to
bring people into Sheridan as well.
For recreationists utilizing the Bighorn National Forest,
this year’s projections are hard to pin down. Public Affairs
Specialist Susie Douglas said weather will have a lot to do
with the success of the recreation season — too much rain
during the spring and summer will keep campers away,
not enough will cause fire restrictions which often hamper
campsite usage.
The bulk of the traffic that comes through Sheridan
County includes travelers coming to and from the Black
Hills and Yellowstone National Park. But dwindling gas
prices may not have as much of an impact on Sheridan’s
tourism as some may anticipate. Many traveling to those
destinations have made travel arrangements and reservations many months in advance and typically continue
their vacation regardless of gas prices.
“Even when gas prices are high, we haven’t seen much of
a decline,” Douglas said. “We get a lot of people from the
region … people coming from places like New Jersey have
been planning those trips for a while and gas prices won’t
keep them from going to Sheridan.”
Buckley said it’s challenging to determine exactly what
type of impact gas prices will have on the Sheridan
tourism industry, but in theory, getting to Sheridan will be
much easier for travelers.
Even if many things go right for the tourism industry
this summer, detriments still exist. The biggest of which is
the recent news of Sheridan County Airport losing its
commercial air service, which Buckley said will hurt
Sheridan from becoming a destination rather than a stop
along the way.
“We do geographically fall between (Yellowstone and
Mount Rushmore) and that is both a strength and a weakness,” Buckley said. “It’s a strength because there is an
audience passing through that we can capture, but it’s a
weakness in that it does position Sheridan as a secondary
destination. That, coupled with the lack of air service,
makes it extremely challenging to identify Sheridan as a
singular-point destination.”
Landon’s to host raised bed and bug workshops Saturday

himself as a servant of the people, not
the other way around. He valued debate
and opportunity to share views with
those who disagreed.

Big Horn’s Colby Wollenman had a solid
game for Michigan State in its 81-61 loss to
Duke Saturday in the national semi-finals.
While watching it, there was a sense that
most of the eyeballs tuned to the game hereabouts were watching him, as much as the
game. Wollenman is a junior reserve on
coach Tom Izzo’s team, a walk-on who
through skill and grit made the varsity and
found himself in a Final Four with his
Spartan teammates. Sheridan Press sports
editor Michael Pruden profiled the former
Big Horn and Sheridan all-stater (basketball, soccer) in Saturday’s edition.
Wollenman’s story was the number one
trending story on the Press’ website,
www.thesheridanpress.com.
Wollenman’s numbers: 10 minutes, two
points, three rebounds, one blocked shot.
During one rebound battle against Duke’s
All-American, Jahlil Okafor, he caught the
eye of the game announcers who praised
him for neutralizing Duke’s big man, an athlete who will likely be a first-round NBA
choice.
Best of all, he was recognized before the
game as the recipient of the Elite 89
Award, indicative of the student-athlete
with the highest cumulative grade-pointaverage, 3.98, at the Final Four.

Scholar Athlete Award is a pre-med major.
colleagues were not too happy when he
began publicizing his committee meetings, as the public can sometimes be seen
as an impediment to getting “good”
things done. Of course, his actions put
pressure on other chairs to do the same.
Now, the rules require advance notice of
committee meetings.
John, you shared with us your wisdom,
humor, humility and a firm resolve to “do
the right thing.” You have left this world
better for your time among us.
tion parties as well as his own — as was
British Prime Minister Neville
Chamberlain when he returned from
Munich in 1938, waving an agreement
with Hitler's signature on it, and proclaiming "Peace for our time."
Who cared that he had thrown a small
country to the Nazi wolves, in order to get
a worthless agreement with Hitler? It
looked great at the time because it had
apparently avoided war.
Now Barack Obama seems ready to
repeat that political triumph by throwing
another small country — Israel this time
— to the wolves, for the sake of another
worthless agreement.
Back in 1938, Winston Churchill was
one of the very few critics who tried to
warn Chamberlain and the British public. Churchill said: "The idea that safety
can be purchased by throwing a small
State to the wolves is a fatal delusion."
After the ruinous agreement was made
with Hitler, he said: "You were given the
choice between war and dishonor. You
chose dishonor and you will have war."
Chamberlain's "Peace for our time" lasted
just under a year.
Comparing Obama to Chamberlain is
unfair -- to Chamberlain. There is no
question that the British prime minister
loved his country and pursued its best
interests as he saw it. He was not a "citizen of the world," or worse. Chamberlain
was building up his country's military
forces, not tearing them down, as Barack
Obama has been doing with American
military forces.
Secretary of State John Kerry, and
other members of the Obama administration, are saying that the alternative to an
agreement with Iran is war. But when
Israel bombed Iraq's nuclear reactors,
back in 1981, Iraq did not declare war on
Israel. It would have been suicidal to do
so, since Israel already had nuclear
bombs.
There was a time when either Israel or
the United States could have destroyed
Iran's nuclear facilities, with far less risk
of war than there will be after Iran
already has its own stockpile of nuclear
bombs. Indeed, the choice then will no
longer be between a nuclear Iran and war.
The choice may be between surrender to
Iran and nuclear devastation.
Barack Obama dismissed the thought of
America being vulnerable to "a small
country" like Iran. Iran is in fact larger
than Japan was when it attacked Pearl
Harbor, and Iran has a larger population.
If Japan had nuclear bombs, World War II
could have turned out very differently.
If anyone examines the hard, cold facts
about the Obama administration's actions
and inactions in the Middle East from the
beginning, it is far more difficult to reconcile those actions and inactions with a
belief that Obama was trying to stop Iran
from getting nuclear weapons than it is to
reconcile those facts with his trying to
stop Israel from stopping Iran from getting nuclear weapons.
This latest "agreement" with Iran —
with which Iran has publicly and loudly
disagreed — is only the latest episode in
that political charade.

Labor leader Victor Gotbaum dies;
helped NYC in 1970s crisis
NEW YORK (AP) — Victor Gotbaum, an influential New York labor leader who both fought City
Hall and helped it survive its 1970s fiscal crisis,
has died, his son said Monday. He was 93.
Gotbaum died Sunday at his Manhattan home,
Noah Gotbaum said. He said the cause of his
father’s death hasn’t been determined.
As the leader of the American Federation of
State, County and Municipal Employees’ District
Council 37 in New York, Gotbaum was the voice of
the nation’s biggest municipal union when the city
faced the threat of bankruptcy in the mid-1970s.
“Victor Gotbaum was a true New York City warrior — a man of action who dedicated his life to
organizing workers and improving their lives” but
also understood the importance of compromise,
Mayor Bill de Blasio said in a statement.
Today’s Highlight in
History:
On April 7, 1945, during
World War II, American
planes intercepted and effectively destroyed a Japanese
fleet, which included the battleship Yamato, that was headed to Okinawa on a suicide
mission.
On this date:
In 1788, an expedition led
by Gen. Rufus Putnam established a settlement at presentday Marietta, Ohio.
In 1862, Union forces led by
Gen. Ulysses S. Grant defeated
the Confederates at the Battle
of Shiloh in Tennessee.
In 1915, jazz singer-songwriter Billie Holiday, also
known as “Lady Day,” was
born in Philadelphia.
In 1927, the image and
voice of Commerce Secretary
Herbert Hoover were transmitted live from Washington
to New York in the first successful long-distance demonstration of television.
In 1939, Italy invaded
Albania, which was annexed
less than a week later.
In 1949, the Rodgers and
Hammerstein musical “South
Pacific” opened on Broadway.
In 1953, the U.N. General
Assembly ratified Dag
Hammarskjold of Sweden as
the new secretary-general,
succeeding Trygve Lie of
Norway.
In 1955, movie actress
Theda Bara died in Los
Angeles at age 69.
In 1966, the U.S. Navy
recovered a hydrogen bomb
that the U.S. Air Force had
lost in the Mediterranean Sea
off Spain following a B-52
crash.
In 1978, President Jimmy
Carter announced he was
deferring development of the
neutron bomb, a high-radiation weapon.
In 1985, British pop sensation Wham! (George Michael
and Andrew Ridgeley) performed at a packed Beijing
stadium in Communist
China’s first big-name rock
concert.
In 1990, a display of Robert
Mapplethorpe photographs
opened at Cincinnati’s
Contemporary Arts Center,
the same day the center and
its director were indicted on
obscenity charges (both were
acquitted). An arson fire
aboard a ferry en route from
Norway to Denmark killed 158
people.
Ten years ago: The blockbuster painkiller Bextra was
taken off the market, and the
FDA said all similar prescription drugs should strongly
warn about possible risk of
heart attacks and strokes.
Ibrahim al-Jaafari, a Shiite,
was named Iraq’s interim
prime minister; Kurdish
leader Jalal Talabani was
sworn in as interim president.
Historic bus service began
between the two parts of
Kashmir, one controlled by
India, the other by Pakistan.
Five years ago: North
Korea said it had convicted
and sentenced an American
man to eight years in a labor
prison for entering the country illegally and unspecified
hostile acts. (Aijalon Mahli
Gomes was freed in August
2010 after former U.S.
President Jimmy Carter
secured his release.). Space
shuttle Discovery docked at
the International Space
Station, its astronauts overcoming a rare antenna breakdown that had knocked out
radar tracking.
One year ago: Pro-Russian
activists barricaded inside
government buildings in eastern Ukraine proclaimed their
regions to be independent and
called for a referendum on
seceding from Ukraine, an
echo of events that had led to
Russia’s annexation of
Crimea.
Thought for Today: “Verba
movent, exempla trahunt.”

compel them.) — Latin
proverb.

REBUILD: Pitching in to help the victims
FROM 1
As firefighters toiled in 20-below cold the
night of Dec. 30, townspeople gathered at a
bar across the street to watch the spectacle
of fire and ice from the water sprayed.
‘I think we’ll be ready for the tourists
when they come this summer, and we’ll
have plenty of businesses that will serve
them.’
Mary Ellen Honsaker
St. Thomas Episcopal Church parish administrator
Since then, they’ve pitched in to help the
victims. As of early April, a local organization, Needs of Dubois, had raised almost
$89,000 and disbursed around $72,000 toward
the bills of affected business owners.
“We basically cover daily survival needs,”
said Jungck, president of the nonprofit. “As
people lost their income, we’re covering
food, gas, medical expenses, utilities, rent.”
St. Thomas Episcopal Church has raised
almost $78,000, more than a quarter of that
from a Valentine’s Day fundraiser, to help
business owners recoup lost inventory,
parish administrator Mary Ellen Honsaker
said.
“They, of course, were expecting nothing,
because they didn’t have insurance,” she
said Monday. “We’ve had an awful lot of
thanks and tears, so that’s been good.”
Nobody was hurt in the fire.
Traffic over Togwotee Pass northwest of
town will begin picking up once Grand
Teton and Yellowstone open for their summer seasons next month. The fly shop
destroyed is preparing to reopen elsewhere
in town and a new Mexican restaurant also
will be opening up, Mayor Twila Blakeman
said.
“I think we’ll be ready for the tourists
when they come this summer, and we’ll have
plenty of businesses that will serve them,”
she said.

US job openings surge,
yet employers slow to hire
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. job openings surged in February to a 14-year
high, yet employers filled fewer of
those jobs than in the previous month.
On a brighter note, the Labor
Department also says that layoffs fell
sharply. Taken together, the figures
suggest that signs of a stumbling economy have prompted U.S. businesses to
pull back on hiring. But they weren’t
spooked enough to cut more jobs.
The number of available jobs rose 3.4
percent in February to 5.1 million, the
government says, the most since
January 2001. That indicates companies want to add staff. Yet total hiring
slipped 1.6 percent to 4.9 million.
Layoffs, meanwhile, plummeted 7.6
percent to 1.6 million, the lowest level
in 16 months. That points to a high
degree of job security for those
Americans who are employed.

Obama says Iran could cut nuke
time to near zero in 13 years

Postal Service
issuing
stamp to
honor late
poet Maya
Angelou
WASHINGTON (AP) —
The U.S. Postal Service is
issuing a new limited edition “Forever” stamp
honoring the late poet,
author and civil rights
champion Maya Angelou.
Angelou rose from
poverty, segregation and
violence to become a
force on stage, screen and
the printed page. She
died last May at her
Winston-Salem, North
Carolina, home at 86.
The stamp for dedication at a Washington ceremony Tuesday showcases Atlanta artist Ross
Rossin’s 2013 portrait of
Angelou, an oil painting
in the Smithsonian’s
National Portrait Gallery
collection
The postal service says
Ethel Kessler of
Bethesda, Maryland,
designed the stamp based
on Rossin’s portrait. It
includes the quotation:
“A bird doesn’t sing
because it has an answer,
it sings because it has a
song.”
Angelou was a longtime
professor of American
studies at Wake Forest
University.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Defending an
emerging nuclear deal, President Barack
Obama said Iran would be kept a year
away from obtaining a nuclear weapon
for more than a decade, but conceded
Tuesday that the buffer period could
shrink to almost nothing after 13 or more
years.
Obama, whose top priority at the
moment is to sell the framework deal to
critics, was pushing back on the charge
that the deal fails to eliminate the risk
because it allows Iran to keep enriching
uranium. He told NPR News that Iran
will be capped for a decade at 300 kilograms — not enough to convert to a
stockpile of weapons-grade material.
“What is a more relevant fear would be
that in Year 13, 14, 15, they have advanced
centrifuges that enrich uranium fairly
rapidly, and at that point, the breakout
times would have shrunk almost down to
zero,” Obama said.
Breakout time refers to how long it
would take to build a bomb if Iran decided to pursue one full-bore — in other
words, how long the rest of the world
would have to stop it. The framework deal
expands Iran’s breakout time — currently two to three months — to at least a
year. But that constraint would stay in
place only for 10 years, at which point
some restrictions would start phasing
out.
Although Obama acknowledged that
Iran’s breakout time could shrink, he
said at least the world would have better
insight into Iran’s capabilities because of
extensive inspections in the earlier years.
“The option of a future president to
take action if in fact they try to obtain a
nuclear weapon is undiminished,”
Obama said.
The stark admission came as the president seeks to quiet a growing chorus
questioning whether the deal he and
world leaders have negotiated merely
delays the certainty of a nuclear-armed
Iran. Obama has insisted confidently that
Iran will not get a nuclear weapon on his
watch, which ends in roughly 20 months,
but has made no similar assurances
about his successors.
Tehran has always maintained it
doesn’t want a nuclear bomb, but the
international community has been skeptical, and America’s close ally Israel considers a nuclear Iran an existential
threat. U.S. lawmakers and foreign policy
hawks have questioned how Obama can
strike a diplomatic deal with a country
that continues to threaten Israel and tops
the U.S. list of state sponsors of terror.
Obama, who is also working to restore
ties to longtime U.S. foe Cuba, has suggested cautiously in the past that a
nuclear agreement could be a precursor
to Iran pursuing a more amicable relationship with the world community. But
in the days since the framework deal was
announced in Switzerland, his administration has sought to emphasize that the
deal relies on inspections, not trust, and
is worthwhile even if the Iranian regime
remains venomously anti-American.
“I think there are hard-liners inside of
Iran that think it is the right thing to do
to oppose us, to seek to destroy Israel, to
cause havoc in places like Syria or Yemen
or Lebanon,” Obama said. “If they don’t
change at all, we’re still better off having
the deal.”
Obama presents climate change as hazard to your health
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack
Obama will ask Americans to think of climate change as a threat not just to the
environment, but also to their health.
Obama on Tuesday was to announce a
series of steps that private entities like
Google and Microsoft are taking to better
prepare the nation’s health systems for the
inevitable effects of a warmer, more erratic climate. He was to be joined at Howard
University Medical School by Surgeon
General Vivek Murthy and the head of the
Environmental Protection Agency, Gina
McCarthy.
Warning of the perils to the planet has
gotten the president only so far; polls consistently show the public is skeptical that
the steps Obama has taken to curb pollution are worth the cost to the economy. So
Obama is aiming to put a spotlight on
ways that climate change will have real
impacts on the body, like more asthma
attacks, allergic reactions and injuries
from extreme weather.
Microsoft’s research arm will develop a
prototype for drones that can collect large
quantities of mosquitoes, then digitally
analyze their genes and pathogens. The
goal is to create a system that could pro-
vide early warnings about infectious diseases that could break out if climate
change worsens.
Google has promised to donate 10 million hours of advanced computing time on
new tools, including risk maps and early
warnings for things like wildfires and oil
flares using the Google Earth Engine platform, the White House said. Google’s camera cars that gather photos for its “Street
View” function will start measuring
methane emissions and natural gas leaks
in some cities this year.
The Obama administration was also to
announce a series of modest steps it will
take to boost preparedness, such as
expanding access to data to predict and
minimize the health effects from climate
change.
Obama’s effort to link climate change to
health comes as he works to build support
for steps he’s taken to curb U.S. emissions
that are opposed by business and industry,
including strict limits on vehicles and
power plants. The president is relying on
those emissions cuts to make up the U.S.
contribution to a global climate treaty that
he and other world leaders expect to finalize in December.
Consumer groups say YouTube Kids app is deceiving
WASHINGTON (AP) — The new YouTube
Kids mobile app targets young children
with unfair and deceptive advertising and
should be investigated, a group of consumer advocates told the Federal Trade
Commission in a letter Tuesday.
Google introduced the app in February as
a “safer” place for kids to explore videos
because it was restricted to “family-focused
content.”
But the consumer activists say the app is
so stuffed with advertisements and product
placements that it’s hard to tell the difference between entertainment and commercials. One example is a 7-minute video of
Disney’s “Frozen” characters who appear
as dolls inside a toy McDonald’s, eating ice
cream and drinking Sprite.
The activists say digital media should be
subject to the same rules as television,
which limits commercial content on kids’
programming.
“As a consumer, you should have the right
to know who is trying to persuade you,”
said Angela Campbell with the Institute for
Public Representation at Georgetown Law,
who provided legal counsel to the coalition.
In young children especially, “it takes
unfair advantage of their trusting nature
and lack of experience,” she added.
YouTube released a statement Monday
saying: “When developing YouTube Kids,
we consulted with numerous partners and
child advocacy and privacy groups. We are
always open to feedback on ways to
improve the app.”
Since its inception in 2005, YouTube has
become the world’s most popular online
video site, with more than 1 billion users.
For parents, it’s become an easy way to
find Elmo song clips or full episodes of
“Barney & Friends.” But when searching
for Elmo or Barney, it’s easy to pull up
other user-generated content aimed at
adults, such as the two puppets cursing or
waving guns.
“Now, parents can rest a little easier
knowing that videos in the YouTube Kids
app are narrowed down to content appropriate for kids,” wrote Shimrit Ben-Yair,
the app’s product manager, in a February
blog post.
According to the consumer groups’ letter,
the videos mingle commercial and entertainment content in ways that wouldn’t be
allowed on television. Search for “My Little
Pony,” for example, and the first several
options are lengthy advertisements for My
Little Pony Play-Doh and toy kitchen sets,
including one Play-Doh segment stretching
19 minutes.
“The fact that children are viewing the
videos on a tablet or smartphone screen
instead on a television screen does not
make it any less unfair and deceptive,” the
letter states.
Groups that signed the letter were the
Center for Digital Democracy, the
Campaign for a Commercial-Free
Childhood, American Academy of Child
and Adolescent Psychiatry, Center for
Science in the Public Interest, Children
Now, Consumer Federation of America,
Consumer Watchdog, Consumers Union,
Corporate Accountability International
and Public Citizen.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Kyle
Kendrick pitched seven
sharp innings and also got
two hits Monday as the
Colorado Rockies trounced
the Milwaukee Brewers 10-0
on opening day.
Corey Dickerson and
Nolan Arenado each homered and drove in four runs.
Troy Tulowitzki doubled
twice, singled and scored
three times.
There were eight extrabase hits in the game, all by
Colorado. Kendrick,
Dickerson and Carlos
Gonzalez contributed doubles.
Kendrick (1-0), who left
Philadelphia after last season, excelled in his first
opening day start. He gave
up seven singles, walked
none and struck out six.
After former commissioner Bud Selig lobbed in the
ceremonial first ball, the
Rockies teed off against
Kyle Lohse (0-1).
Gonzalez, Tulowitzki and
Arenado doubled in the first
inning and Dickerson hit a
two-run homer for a 4-0 lead.
Arenado hit a two-run
shot into the bleachers off
Lohse in the third.
Crow
‘I haven’t loved a
team any more than I’ve
loved this team. We have
eight guys, and four of
them are freshmen. For
them to win 35 games and
win the national title is
incredible.’
Mike Krzyzewski
Duke basketball coach
“No,” Krzyzewski said,
pointing at the crystal basketball sitting atop the trophy. “This is one win.”
It made sense. Krzyzewski
has talked all season about
not letting his players feel
burdened by either his program’s past successes or
failures. Live in the
moment, he told them. And
in the end, it explained why
he was more focused on
winning his first title with
this team than becoming the
second coach to win five
NCAA titles with Monday
night’s 68-63 win against
Wisconsin.
“All of them are great,”
Krzyzewski said. “The one
you’re in this moment with
is always the most current,
you can feel it the best. I
haven’t loved a team any
more than I’ve loved this
team. We have eight guys,
and four of them are freshmen. For them to win 35
games and win the national
title is incredible.”
The Blue Devils (35-4)
were scheduled to return to
their campus in Durham,
North Carolina, on Tuesday
afternoon for a welcomehome ceremony at their
famed Cameron Indoor
Stadium. That will cap a
season in which the Blue
Devils started as the preseason Atlantic Coast
Conference favorite and a
Final Four favorite, stumbled a bit through a bumpy
few weeks in January, then
surged down the stretch en
route to a third NCAA
championship won in
Indianapolis.
Duke has now won NCAA
titles in 1991, 1992, 2001, 2010
and now, 2015.
“It’s hard to put it into
words,” said freshman point
guard Tyus Jones, who was
named the most outstanding
player at the Final Four.
“This is just such a special
group. The best team I’ve
ever been a part of. We’ve
worked hard all year. This
has been our one goal that
we were working for.”

Closing arguments begin in trial of ex-NFLer Aaron Hernandez
FALL RIVER, Mass. (AP) — A lawyer for former New England
Patriots star tight end Aaron Hernandez told jurors on Tuesday that
there is only one possible and lawful verdict in his client’s murder
trial: not guilty.
Defense attorney James Sultan began his closing arguments Tuesday
morning in the trial, which has lasted more than two months.
Hernandez is accused in the June 17, 2013, killing of Odin Lloyd, who
was dating the sister of Hernandez’s fiancee. Lloyd was shot six times
and died in an industrial park less than a mile from Hernandez’s
home. At the time, Hernandez had a $40 million contract with the
Patriots.
Both sides have 90 minutes on Tuesday to make their case to the jury.
The defense goes first. Jurors are expected to get the case later in the
day.
Sultan spent several minutes asking jurors to forget what they have
heard about Hernandez in the media and outside the courtroom.
He pointed out that prosecutors never presented a clear motive for
why Hernandez would kill Lloyd, saying they were friends and future
brothers-in-law and that there was no evidence he would have wanted
Lloyd dead.

Tiger arrives, and the guessing
game begins at Masters
MIKE PRUDEN | THE SHERIDAN PRESS
Spring drills
Quinton Suska returns the ball during a spring practice drill Monday at Sheridan
High School.
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Tiger
Woods arrived later than usual
Monday for a Masters that is different from all the others he has
played.
No one was sure what to expect
from him.
Woods offered a quick glimpse
that it could be just about anything. He hooked his tee shot so
far left that it nearly went into
the ninth fairway. And then he
hit a shot to about 6 feet and
rolled in the putt for birdie.
“I felt like I had to get my game
into a spot where I felt I could
compete to win a golf tournament and it’s finally there,”
Woods said after playing 11
holes. He played the front nine
with Mark O’Meara, then the
10th and 18th holes before darkness.
More relevant than any of his
shots — including his chipping,
which looked fine — was the
atmosphere.
The first official day of practice at Augusta National was
filled with warmth and optimism
for the first major of the year.
Rory McIlroy, No. 1 in the world
and going for a career Grand
Slam, played 18 holes with
British Amateur champion
Bradley Neil. Steve Stricker is
playing for the first time all year.
Jason Day took four hours on the
back nine alone, letting groups
through so he could chip and
putt, the key to winning a green
jacket.
And then Woods arrived.
Fans ran to the side of the
practice area when his cart
pulled up, with one man holding
a digital camera high above his
head for a picture. Fittingly,
Woods headed straight for the
chipping area and went through
two bags of balls before heading
to the first tee with O’Meara.
Woods is playing for the first
time since Feb. 5. He was off
nearly five months when he
returned at the Masters in 2010
following the scandal in his personal life, but he was No. 1 in the
world back then. His last competition was a victory in the
Australian Masters.
Now he is No. 111. In his last
tournament this year, he walked
off the course at Torrey Pines
after 11 holes.

TITLE: Unclear on NBA prospects
FROM B1
Duke ended the year with 18 wins in 19
games, the only loss coming to Notre Dame
in the ACC Tournament semifinals in an
off performance that Krzyzewski described
as “an out-of-body experience.” The Blue
Devils responded by looking sharp
throughout a six-game run through the
NCAAs, most notably with a defense that
held every opponent to 63 points or less.
They did that with a roster of eight scholarship players, half being freshmen. And
one of those, reserve Grayson Allen,
turned in an unexpectedly huge performance that sparked Duke’s rally from nine
down midway through the second half
against the Badgers.
“It was all about the team,” senior Quinn
Cook said of the freshmen. “All of them
worked. All of them looked to the upperclassmen for advice. They didn’t think they
knew it all and things like that. They
worked. I mean, they worked hard. It paid
off tonight.”
It’s unclear if Jones, big man Jahlil
Okafor and fellow freshman Justise
Winslow will follow Cook out the door as
one-and-done NBA prospects, and none of
the three were ready to talk about their
futures after Monday’s game.
Regardless, the 68-year-old Krzyzewski
has another milestone — and moment — in
a career full of them.
“They’ve been a joy,” Krzyzewski said.
“They’ve been an incredible joy. When
you’re already happy, and you get happier,
it’s pretty damn good. It’s pretty good.”

Spring stretches for tennis team
Sheridan's Turner Martini stretches for a forehand Monday at the tennis courts at Sheridan High School.
ROCKIES: Lyles to make first start since he broke his hand June 4
FROM B1
The right-hander gave up eight
runs on 10 hits before Gonzalez
ended Lohse’s third career opening day start with an RBI single
in the fourth.
Rockies relievers Rafael
Betancourt and Christian
Friedrich each pitched scoreless
innings.
The Brewers’ best scoring
chance came in the second when
with one out they loaded the
bases on two singles and a hit batter.
Kendrick got Jean Segura to
ground into a double play.
Brewers star Ryan Braun, who
had offseason surgery on his
right thumb, went 0 for 2 and left
after the fifth inning. Adam Lind
had three singles in his
Milwaukee debut.
The Rockies had to be happy
with how their two key veterans
played, especially after last season.
Gonzalez had multiple injuries,
each requiring surgery, and ended
the season on the 60-day disabled
list.
Tulowitzki injured his hip the
second game after the All-Star
break and missed the remainder
of the season.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Rockies: LHP Jorge De La Rosa,
last year’s opening day starter for
Colorado, was limited in spring
training with a groin injury.
Placed on the disabled list
Sunday, he is scheduled to make a
rehab start for Triple-A
Albuquerque on Thursday and is
limited to 65-70 pitches.
Brewers: Commenting on the
pitching staff, general manager
Doug Melvin said, “We were very
healthy during the spring. That’s
a positive to open up the season
with all our guys healthy.”
UP NEXT
Rockies: RHP Jordan Lyles
makes his first start since June 4
when he broke his left hand covering home on a wild pitch. He
landed on the disabled list June 5
and missed 54 games before being
activated off the 60-day DL on
Aug. 6.
Brewers: RHP Matt Garza, who
starts Tuesday, has beaten the
Rockies his last two starts.
“You didn’t hear because
it doesn’t exist,” Sultan
said. “Does the prosecution
expect you to fill in that
gaping hole in its case with
guesswork, speculation?”
He also said investigators
unfairly fixated on his
client, presuming his guilt
and finding what they could
to support that theory.
“The investigation done
in this case was incomplete,
biased and inept. That was
not fair to Odin Lloyd, that
was not fair to Aaron
Hernandez, and it was not
fair to you,” he said. “All
that effort and this is all
they could come up with.
What does that tell you?”
The trial featured hundreds of pieces of evidence
and testimony from 135 witnesses — 132 of them called
by the prosecution.
Prosecutors said
Hernandez and two friends
drove to Boston to pick up
Lloyd at his home, then
drove him to the industrial
park in North Attleborough
and killed him.
Surveillance video along
the way showed Hernandez
driving a rented silver
Nissan Altima shortly
before Lloyd’s sister saw
him get into a silver car.
Soon after, a toll booth camera caught the Nissan leaving Boston. Lloyd’s phone
pinged several cell towers
before stopping in North
Attleborough for good.
Surveillance video at
Hernandez’s home minutes
after the shooting showed
him holding a black item
that appeared to be a gun. A
joint found near Lloyd’s
body had Hernandez’s and
Lloyd’s DNA on it.
After closing arguments,
the judge will give the 15
members of the jury
instructions. Three of the
jurors will then be randomly selected as alternates.
The 12-person jury will then
be sent to deliberate.

got to see for themselves, at least in practice. The real show starts Thursday, and
everyone is curious.
“We’re all waiting with baited breath
what Tiger is bringing,” three-time champion Nick Faldo said. “He’s got to believe
he’s got a bit more game than that. This is
not the place. These are the toughest chipping areas, but off perfect lies, anywhere
in the world. ... It’s all nerve. That’s what
the Masters is. It’s nerve. It’s the most
nerve-wracking golf course.”
Woods looked relatively calms on the golf
course. He reached the par-5 second hole
with ease on his second shot. He smashed
a drive down the short par-4 third and hit
a flip wedge that trickled a few inches by
the hole, making a tough shot look easy.
O’Meara hit a good tee shot on the par-3
fourth. Woods hit it inside that.
“I felt good,” Woods said. “It was nice to
get out here and play it. It’s a little bit
faster than what we played last week. It’s
great.”
Woods played twice last week, the last
time on Friday just before ending speculation by saying he would play in the
Masters.
Gary Player was among those — and a
few thousand fans in the late afternoon
would agree — that it was good to see him
back inside the ropes.
“Golf internationally needs Tiger
Woods. He does make a difference,” threetime Masters champion Player said.
“People say — I hear this all the time —
‘Well, they won’t miss Tiger Woods.
There’s so many young guys that will take
his place.’ There is nobody in the world
today that can play like Tiger Woods at his
best. Nobody yet. I’m not saying in time to
come, a Rory, Jordan Spieth, Jason Day.
“As of today, there’s nobody playing like
Tiger at his best.”

MARY WORTH by Karen Moy and Joe Giella
BORN LOSER® by Art and Chip Sansom
While the usual suspects
Kentucky, Duke, Wisconsin
and Villanova universities
landed the top seeds in this
year's March Madness, smart
oddsmakers kept an eye out
for a Gonzaga-type emer-
gence of an unexpected seed.
And you should do the same!
The top unexpected seeds
that deliver a slam dunk for
your ongoing health and help
you achieve a younger
RealAge? Chia, flax and sunflower.
Chia seeds: Chia seeds are
packed with omega-3
linolenic acid (heart-, skinand romance-friendly!), more
calcium (ounce for ounce)
than milk, plus phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals.
For the most benefit, choose
ground whole chia seeds.
They can boost blood levels of
omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid
by 58.4 percent and eicosapentaenoic acid by 38.6 percent, compared with eating
the whole seed. Sprinkle
them over salads and add to
soups and casseroles.
Flaxseeds: Flaxseeds deliver protein, fiber, phytonutrients, phytoestrogens and
omega-3 fatty acids. Health
Canada has verified the
claim that ground whole
flaxseed helps lower total
and, specifically, lousy LDL
cholesterol. They say 2 tablespoons a day supplies 40 percent of what's needed to
bring it all down court! Bake
into 100 percent whole-wheat
bread and add to soups and
smoothies.
Sunflower seeds: They're
the third seed, because
although they deliver healthy
fats, protein, fiber, phenolic
acids and lots of phytosterols, which block absorption of cholesterol in the
intestines, they also contain
choline, and we don't want
you getting too much of that!
These you can snack on
whole.
Call it a slam dunk or
swish -- bet on these seeds,
and you're moving up in your
bracket!

MAN WHO DOESN'T
WANT KIDS SHOULD LOOK
FOR ANOTHER WOMAN
DEAR ABBY: When I
turned 25, after considering
it for years, I went to my doctor and told him I wanted to
become sterile. I got a vasectomy two months later. I
haven't had any regrets, and
now at 27, I'm still firmly convinced that I don't want children -- ever.
I started dating a woman a
year ago, "Anita," who told
me that if she never had
kids, she could live with it. I
felt lucky to have found someone who would be OK with
no kids.
I have had a few issues with
Anita. When she gets upset
from time to time, she says
that if she stays with me, she
will never have kids. I know
she cares for me deeply, but I
also believe she feels conflicted about giving up the chance
to be a mother.
Do you think it's fair for me
to pursue this relationship
and hope that eventually
she'll come to terms with not
having children with me? Or
should I end the relationship
so she can find someone who
shares her desire to become a
parent? I worry that if I end
it, it may take years before I
find someone who shares my
wish to never be a parent. -NO KIDS IN COLORADO
DEAR NO KIDS: You have
been upfront with Anita. She
understands that you do not
want children, and that you
have taken steps to ensure it
won't happen. She's correct
that if she stays with you,
she will never have any.
For both your sakes, the
two of you need to talk this
through once and for all,
because if Anita is ambivalent about forgoing motherhood, she does need to find
another life partner. And you
need to let her do that.
DEAR ABBY: It happened
to me again yesterday. After I
had been waiting patiently at
the counter of a large department store, another woman
came up and stood beside me.
The clerk walked over and
immediately began to ring
up the other woman's purchase. I said, "I was here
first!" Both the clerk and the
woman apologized, but
because the sale had already
begun, the salesclerk completed it and I was left waitI
am angry about it. I feel
stores should have a queue
where you get in line in
order, or clerks should be
instructed to ask, "Who was
here first?" I don't want to
believe I was passed over
because the other woman
looked more prosperous than
I do, but she was buying a
very expensive handbag,
while I was purchasing socks
that were on clearance. How
should that be handled in the
future? -- SHOPPER IN KENTUCKY
DEAR SHOPPER: If you
have a complaint about service, it should be addressed to
the store manager. A welltrained retail salesperson
would have asked which of
you was there first. The
amount you were spending
should have made no difference.
DEAR ABBY: My wife and I
travel with another couple. I
furnish the vehicle and do all
the driving. How should we
share the expenses? -- EASY
RIDER IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
DEAR EASY RIDER:
The other couple should pay
for half the gas and their
own meals and lodging.

mother, Pauline Phillips.

Hints from Heloise
Heloise Bridge
Tag -- You're Arrested?
Dear Heloise: We all joke
about the TAGS ON OUR MATTRESSES that say they cannot
be removed under "penalty of
law." What is the real story
with the warnings on these
tags? -- J.W., via email
Oh my! What the heck does
this mean? You can take off
those tags and you won't be
taken to jail! Can you see the
police report? "Arrested for cutting tags off of mattress." The
tag is there to let you know that
a new mattress is made with all
new materials. If you cut off the
tag, it may void a warranty, but
that, too, is a big stretch. I do
tear (or cut) them off, and slip
the tags between the mattress
and box spring. -- Heloise
QUICK FIX
Dear Heloise: Ever put on a
favorite top or pants to discover that a button is about to
fall off or you have a small rip
that needs mending? Save time
by keeping three or four needles already threaded in commonly used colors, such as
black, white, cream and navy. I
keep the needles on a thin piece
of cardboard at the top of my
sewing basket,
and they are easily accessed. I can
quickly mend the
item and be on
my way! -- Carmon H., Trenton,
Ohio
You said it -- a stitch in time
saves nine. Fix the small tear
now, and it won't get bigger
later! -- Heloise
REMOVING LABELS
Dear Heloise: I discovered an
easy way to remove prescription labels from bottles. While
traveling, I had a number of
empty bottles that I did not
want to take home and had no
tool to scrape off the labels. On
a whim, I filled a sink with
warm water and soaked them
all for a little while.
I was surprised to see how
easily the labels came off the
bottles. -- Dale Smith in California
Yes, that hint is an oldie but
still a goodie. Also, it's a reminder to NOT throw empty
prescription bottles (or sales receipts) in the hotel trash can.
Play it smart and be safe. -Heloise
BEVERAGE CARRIER
Dear Heloise: My co-workers
and I often bring lunches to
work. We always are searching
for the perfect containers and
totes for storing and transporting food and beverages.
I usually bring in a thermos
mug of hot coffee, a water bottle
and another beverage bottle. I
recently have come up with a
handy and efficient solution.
I've found that the free tote
bags in the grocery-store wine
section make the perfect tote
for transporting beverages.
These totes have six separated
compartments made to fit six
wine bottles, and easily can be
converted to carry all my daily
beverages, plus extra items
that fit into the slots. -- Carol
D., Spring, Texas
NO SLIP
Dear Heloise: To keep your
platform rocker/swivel recliner from slipping backward
on your carpet, take a piece of
waffle plastic shelf liner, cut a
square of approximately 12
inches and place it under the
platform. No more slipping. -- A
Reader, via email
Phillip Alder
CAREFULLY COUNT
LOSERS AND WINNERS
W. Somerset Maugham
said, "Common sense
and nature will do a lot
to make the pilgrimage
of life not too difficult."
Common sense and
card sense will do a lot
to make the pilgrimage
of a bridge deal not too
difficult. What would a
declarer with those
characteristics do on
this deal? He is in four
hearts, and West leads
the spade jack, which is
covered by dummy's
queen and East's king.
South's three-heart
rebid shows at least a
six-card suit and gameinvitational values; typically, he will have 15-17
high-card points. Yes,
this hand is a maximum,
but if partner has an unhelpful holding, game
will probably fail. North,
of course, is happy to
raise to four hearts.
When you are in a suit
contract and have more
trumps than the
dummy, count the losers
in your hand. Here,
South has four: one
spade, two diamonds
and one club.
Then declarer should
count winners. Interestingly, he has 10: one
spade, six hearts,
one diamond and
two clubs. So he
can make his contract as long as the
defenders do not
get their four
tricks first.
There is only
one way for South
to eliminate a
loser: discard it on
the third round of
diamonds. Also,
because dummy is
so short of entries,
there isn't a moment to lose. Declarer must win
the first trick (or
East might shift to
a trump) and lead
a diamond. A de-

BIRTHDAY GAL: Actress
Emma Caulfield was born
in San Diego, Calif., on this
date in 1973. This birthday
gal is recognized by TV fans
for her roles as Anya on
"Buffy the Vampire Slayer"
and Susan Keats on "Beverly Hills 90210." More recently, she's appeared on
episodes of "Royal Pains,"
"Once Upon A Time" and
"Leverage." Caulfield's big
screen work includes "Back
in the Day," "Timer" and
"Darkness Falls."
ARIES (March 21-April
19): You possess a lion's
share of originality and creative energy. Hold off on
making major purchases or
investments right now,
however, as you may be
blind to pitfalls. Financial
affairs could be put in jeopardy by unforeseen misun-
derstandings.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20): If you yield to an itchy
finger on the trigger you
could stir up trouble. Don't
dive into action without adequate thought and planning. Give yourself plenty
of travel time to arrive at
your destination and avoid
the evening rush.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
Run a tight ship. Treat your
neighbors and family with
the same care and respect
you'd give to a job or employer. A loved one might
want to discuss an impossible dream, so be prepared to
let him or her down gently.
CANCER (June 21-July
22): Remain sensitive to
someone's competitive nature. Your efforts to be amiable will help you to
achieve goals, especially
where career or business is
concerned. Don't be oblivious to the threat you may
seem to pose to others.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):
You may be invincible, but
don't be naive. Knowledge is
power and power puts you
in the driver's seat. Even so,
it's what you don't know
that can hurt you. It might
pay off to be a bit more
humble and less aggressive.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Open your eyes to the latest
technology. Online banking
might be just what you need
to keep finances in order, so
investigate your options. A
new group or a new friend
could offer ideas about future investments.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
Build up your strength and
stamina. Take a walk, do
some pushups or sit-ups, or
fender may win, cash a
spade trick, and play a
trump, but South wins
with dummy's 10 and
leads another diamond.
Then, when back in the
dummy with the heart
ace, he pitches his club
two on the diamond
queen.
Jeraldine Saunders
work on your yoga positions. Your leadership abilities and health will improve
if you exercise your mind
and body in equal measure.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.
21): Move ahead step by step
rather than by leaps and
bounds. Your business aspirations may seem like a
game you can't lose, but the
stakes may be higher than
you think. An error of judgment could be very costly.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Your sensitive nature shrinks from
arguments. People who are
more demanding and arrogant than you may get all
the attention. The squeaky
wheel gets the oil. Your beliefs might be founded on
false premises.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): Ambition may be so
strong you can taste it.
What you think is a great
business strategy, however,
may have some serious
strings attached. Don't invest your money or time in
something illusionary.
Check the details.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18): A smile makes a great
umbrella. Avoid a downpour of doubts. You could
receive helpful tips or gratuities, or have an opportunity to make some new
friends. Be forgiving if family members are hard to
deal with and abrasive.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20): Keep your piggy bank
under lock and key. Don't
give in to your whims or an
attempt to speed up a situation. It's much better to wait
a few days before you make
an important decision or
launch a project.
IF APRIL 8 IS YOUR
BIRTHDAY: If you've always had a secret wish,
reach for it between now
and the end of June. You're
ready to spread your wings
and become more independent, and will see our popularity soar. In June, a
golden opportunity for beneficial change should arise,
and you can successfully
put your wildest dreams
into motion. During the
summer, learn your craft,
be patient with loved ones,
and refuse to jump headfirst
into new environments.
Wait for October, when
you're shrewd and wise, to
make a crucial business or
investment change. That's a
great time period to strive
for business and financial
goals.

Public notices allow citizens to monitor their government and make sure that it is
working in their best interest. Independent newspapers assist in this cause by
carrying out their partnership with the people’s right to know through public
notices. By offering an independent and archived record of public notices,
newspapers foster a more trusting relationship between government and its
citizens.
Newspapers have the experience and expertise in publishing public notices and
have done so since the Revolutionary War. Today, they remain an established,
trustworthy and neutral source that ably transfers information between
government and the people.
Public notices are the lasting record of how the public’s resources are used and are
presented in the most efficient and effective means possible.

proceeds of the sale shall be applied first to the amount
claimed to be due on the note and mortgage which, as
of February 3, 2015, was equal to unpaid principal and
accrued interest in the sum of $45,203.77, plus interest
which has continued to accrue at the rate of 3.625% per
annum thereafter, late charges, escrow adjustments,
attorney fees, costs, and expenses of this foreclosure.
