Lost On Street 

Traveler’s 

missing 

$3,000 

returned 

RAWLINS (AP) — An Oregon 

man who lost $3,000 in cash on the 

street was thankful for the honesty 

of another man who turned the 

money over to police. 

Randal Muir, of Salem, Ore., 

called Rawlins police from the 

Little America near Green River to 

report a missing cash box. 

Muir was told his lost cash box 

had already been turned in. Tait 

Nelson had called police after finding 

the box in the street. 

‘‘I was just cutting through the 

parking lot going to work, and I 

looked down at the ground and I 

saw a cash box with a bunch of 

money,’’ Nelson said. 

The cash box was damaged 

from being run over, so its contents 

were visible. Nelson first thought 

the money might have come from a 

robbery or some other illegal activity. 

‘‘It was not my money to take,’’ 

he said. 

Detective Travis King went 

immediately to the box, supposing 

that it was property from some 

recent burglaries. 

But the box didn’t match the 

description of anything that had 

been taken. Along with cash, the 

box contained items such as science 

fiction trading cards and credit 

card receipts. 

The receipts identified the owner 

of the cash box. King was 

attempting to call Muir when Muir 

contacted the police department. 

‘‘He was extremely happy,’’ 

King said. 

According to King, Muir had 

stayed at a Rawlins motel and left 

the cash box on the edge of his 

trailer as he was packing to leave. 

The cash box fell off when he 

pulled the vehicle out.

House GOP eases 

away from fights 

with Bush over Israel 

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans backed 

away Friday from a fight with President Bush over an 

expression of congressional support for Israel, and one 

party leader seemed less likely to wage a second battle 

over extra funds for the Jewish state. 

Republicans pulled a resolution voicing solidarity with 

Israel off next Tuesday’s House schedule after White 

House officials telephoned Rep. Tom DeLay of Texas, the 

No. 3 House Republican, said DeLay spokesman Stuart 

Roy. The call came from White House chief of staff 

Andrew Card, said a congressional aide. 

‘‘They made it clear that they thought it was important 

not to have the vote,’’ said Roy, who said the vote was off 

indefinitely. ‘‘We’re going to continue working with 

them. They felt it was not good timing.’’ 

Roy also said that while DeLay still supports boosting 

U.S. aid to Israel by about $200 million, he doesn’t necessarily 

want that money added to a $27 billion anti-terrorism 

package that Bush has proposed. 

Roy said he was mistaken when he said Thursday that 

DeLay supports putting the money for Israel into the antiterror 

bill. Other GOP aides, however, have said DeLay 

has favored placing the funds into that package. 

ERFURT, Germany (AP) — An 

expelled student dressed in black went on 

a shooting rampage at a school in eastern 

Germany on Friday, roaming the hallways 

with a pistol and a shotgun. Eighteen people 

died in the terrifying assault, including 

the attacker — a 19-year-old who killed 

himself as commandos closed in. 

Witnesses said 13 teachers, two girls, a 

school secretary and a policeman died in

Shooting stuns Germans 

Police begin

the shooting spree, which lasted perhaps 

10 minutes. Four people were injured: one 

woman with a gunshot wound to the leg 

and three people who suffered from 

shock. Police said they found about 500 

rounds of live ammunition near the 

killer’s body. 

‘‘So-called ’American conditions’ 

have reached us. We cannot let these 

excesses of violence become a part of our 

daily life,’’ said Konrad Freiberg, the 

head of Germany’s police union. 

Friday’s death toll in the eastern city 

of Erfurt matched that of the 1996 shootings

Scotland, where 16 children, a teacher

More than 176 

in events today 

at Sheridan 

junior high 

Salt Lake, Schmalt Lake. 

There was enough spirit bouncing 

off SHS gym walls Friday morning 

here to power a couple of Olympics. 

Special Olympians from across half 

the state prepped for two days of competition 

that end today. 

“I’m just very nervous,” said 

Gretchen Schmaus of Sheridan, sitting 

in the bleachers before the opening ceremonies 

in the innards of Sheridan 

High School. 

Schmaus was to compete in basketball 

Friday afternoon, but the veteran 

of many Special Olympics was still 

brimming with emotion. 

“Too much excitement,” she said. “I 

just want to get to it and do it.” 

Meanwhile, the Chicken, who was, 

with two other people, to lead the athletes 

in — what else? — the Chicken 

Dance, exited a van and watched various 

Easter Seals clients pile out and 

enter the school. 

Israeli raid launches 

new campaign stage 

Sharon says Arafat can 

leave if he 

departs alone 

JERUSALEM (AP) — Despite a new U.S. 

call to halt incursions, Israeli troops entered a 

West Bank town on Friday, killing a local militia 

leader in a firefight. Israel’s defense minister 

said there would be more raids whenever his 

forces had new intelligence leads on the whereabouts 

of suspected militants. 

Friday’s incursion into the West Bank town 

of Qalqiliya was the longest and most extensive 

foray into Palestinian territory since Israel 

wound down its large-scale military offensive 

earlier this week. Israeli tanks rumbled into 

Qalqiliya at 4 a.m. and stayed until 10 p.m. 

Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, meanwhile, 

told U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell 

that he was willing to release Yasser Arafat from 

confinement if the Palestinian leader agreed to 

leave his West Bank headquarters alone, without 

several wanted Palestinians who have taken 

refuge in the besieged compound. 

Sharon told Powell in a phone call that Arafat 

could go to the Gaza Strip or any area of the West 

Bank, said an Israeli official, speaking on condition 

of anonymity. 

It appeared unlikely the Palestinian leader 

would agree to the Israeli terms since he has said 

he would not hand over the six wanted men — five 

allegedly involved in the assassination of an Israeli 

Cabinet minister and the sixth in arms smuggling. 

President Bush said he’d had enough of the 

Israeli incursions. ‘‘The Israelis understand my 

position. ... There has been some progress, but it’s 

now time to quit it altogether,’’ Bush said near his 

Texas ranch. 

But Bush also expressed unequivocal support 

for Israel. ‘‘We will not allow Israel to be 

crushed.’’ 

Also Friday, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi 

Annan agreed to a one-day delay in the arrival of a 

U.N. team to probe Israel’s military assault on the 

Jenin refugee camp. 

The team is expected now to arrive Sunday 

night instead of Saturday, giving the Israeli 

Cabinet time to address the issue Sunday morning. 

‘‘I heard shooting and thought it was a 

joke,’’ said Melanie Steinbrueck, 13, choking 

back tears. ‘‘But then I saw a teacher 

dead in the hallway in front of Room 209 

and a gunman in black carrying a 

weapon.’’ 

At 9 p.m., the city’s church bells rang. 

St. Mary’s cathedral was filled with 

mourners who prayed and wept. 

Psychologists and religious leaders counseled 

stunned students until late in the 

evening. 

The government ordered flags flown at 

half-staff, and Chancellor Gerhard 

Schroeder’s party canceled a weekend 

election rally as Germany reeled from what 

is believed to be the worst shooting vio-

“People are not sleeping. We just got 

done with their pep rally, and they were 

very loud. They’ve been talking about it for

More than 176 Special Olympians are

Wyoming DEQ 

ecipient of 

ational award 

CHEYENNE (AP) — The 

Wyoming Department of 

Environmental Quality has received 

a national award for working to 

accelerate an agreement to clean up 

the former Amoco refinery in 

Casper. 

Vickie Meredith, Carl Anderson 

and Craig Toal, all with the department’s 

Solid and Hazardous Waste 

Division, and Maxine Weaver, of 

the attorney general’s office, were 

presented the 2002 corrective action 

award by the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency in Washington, 

D.C., April 16. 

‘‘I have known for a long time 

that we have many dedicated and 

innovative state employees, but it’s 

great to receive national recognition,’’ 

Gov. Jim Geringer said 

Friday. 

In addition to the team, Geringer 

recognized the efforts of Solid and 

Hazardous Waste Administrator 

Dave Finley. 

‘‘Dave was a catalyst for this 

project,’’ the governor said. ‘‘His

‘‘We are stunned in the face of 

this horrible crime,’’ a grim-faced 

Schroeder told reporters. ‘‘All 

explanations we could give right 

now don’t go far enough.’’ 

Police said those killed in the 

Johann Gutenberg Gymnasium 

school were found lying in hallways 

and bathrooms. 

‘‘The police officers were confronted 

with a horrible scene,’’ 

police spokesman Rainer Grube 

said. 

Police did not identify the suspected 

killer. Grube said he had 

been expelled from the school, but 

did not say when. The expulsion 

apparently meant he could not take 

final exams. 

A woman who said she went to 

school with the attacker said he 

once told her: ‘‘One day, I want 

everyone to know my name and I 

want to be famous.’’

can-do attitude and ability to develop 

innovative solutions while keeping 

public health a priority facilitated 

the work.’’ 

DEQ Director Dennis Hemmer 

said the traditional process for testing 

an old refinery site for public 

health risks and selecting a cleanup 

strategy typically takes 10 to 15 

years. 

‘‘This team, which employed an 

innovative new method called the 

collaborative process, did the job in 

just over three years,’’ he said. 

The DEQ team and participants 

from BP Amoco signed the final 

agreement in January. 

The agreement allows accelerated 

cleanup and redevelopment of 

the site west of downtown Casper to 

include bikeways, a business campus 

and golf course. 

The refinery opened in 1913 to 

tap the nearby Salt Creek Oil Field 

when the company was known as 

Standard Oil Co. of Indiana. It 

closed in 1991. 

Hartung said the youth often had 

run-ins with teachers, though she 

described him as intelligent and 

well-liked by his peers. She said he 

had ‘‘bad relations with his parents.’’ 

Police said a janitor first called 

for help at 11:05 a.m., reporting 

gunfire at the school. A squad car 

arrived within five minutes, and the 

gunman fired at the officers, killing 

one. 

The teen-ager fled back inside 

the building. No more shots were 

heard until about a half-hour later, 

when police commandos stormed 

the school and the assailant shot 

himself in a classroom. 

‘‘The guy was dressed all in 

black — gloves, cap, everything 

was black,’’ said Juliane Blank, 13. 

‘‘We ran out into the hallways. We 

just wanted to get out.’’ 

Authorities were investigating 

the possibility of a second gunman 

because some witnesses reported 

hearing shots from a different direction, 

police spokeswoman Doreen 

Jedersberger said.

BLM says bonding for coal-bed 

methane will probably increase 

GILLETTE (AP) — The U.S. Bureau of Land 

Management is likely to increase the amount of 

bonding required for coal-bed methane companies 

to begin drilling in Wyoming, according to 

BLM Director Kathleen Clarke. 

Speaking to the Powder River Basin Resource 

Council after a tour of the Powder River Basin 

on Wednesday, Clark said the industry should be 

held accountable. ‘‘They need to be good neighbors 

and we need to be good neighbors,’’ she 

said. 

Bonds set aside in escrow accounts are used 

for reclamation in case companies default or go 

bankrupt. The Wyoming Oil and Gas 

Conservation Commission requires a $75,000 

bond and the BLM requires a $25,000 bond for 

multiple wells. 

Landowners and ranchers say the bonds are

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Idaho,

“There’s a sense of pride in what they are

ceremonies. She is a veteran of the first Special 

Olympics in Wyoming. 

“They love to be with one another and see old 

friends,” she said. “Those in the Master’s level 

(older) have been seeing each other for years.” 

Athletes competing Friday and today advance to 

the state meet in Gillette May 9-11. 

The games let kids and adults participate in 

events they wouldn’t normally do, said Sharon 

Lujan of Gillette. 

Lujan walked the SHS sidewalk to the front 

entrance beside the wheelchair of her 11-year-old 

son, Cory. 

Cory has cerebral palsy. 

It’s his second year of competing in the softball 

throw and wheeling around orange cones. 

“He is proud of the trophy he got in the 

wheelchair race,” said his mom. 

He said he was ready for the games to begin, but 

when asked whether he had brothers and sisters — 

his mom said a brother, Michael — Cory responded, 

“A big pain!” in typical brother fashion. 

insufficient to cover cleanup costs should a company 

abandon a well or methane facility. But 

industry representatives oppose higher bonding. 

Gene George, a Casper-based consultant for 

Yates Petroleum, said setting bond levels is a 

delicate balance between ensuring reclamation 

and hurting business. 

‘‘Every dollar spent on bonding is a dollar 

that can’t be spent on drilling,’’ he said, pointing 

out that additional bonding can render some 

developers unable to drill. 

Talk of increased bonding for oil and gas 

facilities is nothing new. 

‘‘We do have some latitude and could require 

a higher bond,’’ said Rem Hawes, a spokesman 

for BLM in Washington, D.C. 

‘‘What we have to find is a balance ... 

because bonds are a cost the industry must bear 

population of both species in each 

of our states, it is reasonable for us 

to pursue a regional strategy for 

delisting and management,’’ 

Wyoming Gov. Jim Geringer said 

in a statement issued by Idaho 

Gov. Dirk Kempthorne. 

‘‘The sooner we transition management 

authority for wolves and 

grizzly bears from the federal government 

to the states, the better,’’ 

Geringer said. 

In agreements signed earlier 

this month to update a long-standing 

memorandum among the three 

states, the governors reaffirmed 

their commitment to regional management 

and to immediately press-

Service to remove wolves and grizzlies

list. 

Business Council 

CEO questions loan 

for Green Mountain 

ski resort 

CHEYENNE (AP) — 

Wyoming Business Council CEO 

Tucker Fagan told one of the partners 

in a ski resort Thursday that 

the proposed development does not 

qualify for a $15 million state loan. 

Fagan thinks the project near 

Tahia Grosch and Kelly Mayle carried the 

RENEW banner in the athletes’ march. 

This was Grosch’s first Olympics, and at least 

Mayle’s second. 

The games help community members understand 

the disabled, said athletes. 

“I think it’s pretty cool to help other people” 

know what disabled people can do, Mayle said. 

“It lets other people help them out with things, 

and I also help others out with disability.” 

The athletes recited “The Star-Spangled 

Banner” and Pledge of Allegiance. 

“... with liberty and justice for all,” the words 

faded, spoken by those standing, those bound by 

physical impairments to wheelchairs, and others 

bound by mental or emotional impairments. 

A loudspeaker bounced to “Walk This Way,” 

by Aerosmith, as the athletes, dressed in colors 

representing their groups, began their march 

around the SHS gym. 

Dressed in white shirts and pink pants, 

Shirley Allen, Stephanie Roush and Kat Logan 

of Easter Seals worked the crowd, getting audience 

members to clap to the music. 

Kimbo Kent of Sheridan carried an unlit torch 

one lap and sat down by Badgett near the speaker’s 

podium. 

and we understand that and don’t want to make 

that prohibitive. Our intent is not to make it 

impossible for these companies to do business,’’ 

he said. 

Methane industry officials say higher bonds 

are probably not necessary. The Oil and Gas 

Conservation Commission decided in January 

against an increase in bonds. 

‘‘We don’t think it is necessary because of 

two things: They do have discretionary authority 

to raise bonds on questionable operators, and the 

second is the bully pulpit,’’ said Joe Icenogle, a 

regulatory and public affairs officer with Fidelity 

Exploration and Production. 

The bully pulpit is the ability of the BLM and 

Oil and Gas Commission to use a bond if the 

money is needed to clean up a well, he said.

Today’s competition schedule is:

2-2:30 p.m. — Closing ceremonies. 

“I just want to try my best,” said Schmaus of 

the next two days. 

“I feel proud of us. That we did and tried. If 

we don’t win, we’ll pick up our chin and say at 

least we tried.” 

A similar sentiment was echoed by Jonathan 

Hampe, who was to compete for RENEW in basketball. 

He said this may be his last year to compete. 

“If we lose, we need to keep our heads held 

high,” he said.

in the Grand Encampment 

Mountain Resort project, along 

with founding partner Pat Lynch, 

of Encampment, and four other 

investors. Fagan and Sand Creek 

CEO John Jenkins talked about the 

loan by phone Thursday. 

‘‘We think it’s a sound proposal 

with sound economic development 

potential backed by sound collateral,’’ 

Burger said.

FMC to lay off 

90 by July 15 

GREEN RIVER (AP) — 

Wyoming’s largest soda ash producer 

plans to lay off 90 employees 

by July 15. 

About 10 percent of the work 

force at FMC Westvaco will be 

laid off for the fourth round of 

job cuts there over about a year 

and a half. 

Eighteen people were laid off 

in February 2001 and another 

100 accepted incentive packages 

to resign in May 2001. 

In March, FMC laid off about 

44 people after selling its sodium 

cyanide business to a Nevada 

gold mining venture and after 

scaling back production of caustic 

soda. 

This time, about 19 salaried 

positions and 71 hourly positions 

will be eliminated, according to a 

letter to FMC employees 

Monday.

on zero tolerance, and by that I mean 

that we all are agreed that no priest 

guilty of even one act of sexual 

abuse of a minor will function in any 

ecclesial ministry or any capacity in 

our dioceses,’’ Bevilacqua said 

before an annual benefit dinner. 

Other cardinals, including 

Edward Egan of New York and 

Francis George of Chicago, said this 

week they aren’t sure that Pope John 

Paul II called for such a policy during 

the Vatican meeting. 

No single cardinal or bishop can 

enact a national policy, since each

diocese is autonomous. The U.S. 

Conference of Catholic Bishops, at 

its meeting in June, is expected to 

vote on whether to approve a national 

policy that will be binding on 

every diocese. 

Cardinal Theodore McCarrick of 

Washington said the church may create 

a national advisory panel of 

experts to help bishops devise policies 

for handling sex abuse. He said 

bishops in every diocese already 

have committees of lay people for 

advice on social issues. 

As they left Rome, the cardinals 

said they would recommend a process 

to defrock any priest who has 

become ‘‘notorious and is guilty of 

the serial, predatory sexual abuse of 

minors.’’ 

The Sheridan Press, Saturday, April 27, 2002 3 

‘‘It is important for all of us to take 

pains to remember them,’’ he said. ‘‘We 

must keep the memories of them alive in 

our hearts.’’ 

NRA members said they were 

pleased to hear Heston would run again. 

The actor said he had intended not to run 

last year, but was asked to stay on. 

He first was elected to head the 4.2 

million-member gun rights group in 

1998. 

‘‘I think he’s doing a good job and 

want him to stay on,’’ said F.D. Eaton of 

Green River, Wyo. ‘‘We have enough 

gun laws on the books today and he’s 

helping to stop any more.’’ 

But other members said they were 

concerned about the future of the NRA 

after Heston steps down. 

‘‘Charlton Heston is well known and 

credible, but he’s getting older,’’ said J. 

Reed of Roseville, Calif. ‘‘It’ll be a 

problem down the road when he retires. 

In California, they listen to movie stars 

and I wish someone like Tom Selleck 

would replace him.’’ 

Among Sept. 11 survivors honored 

was Army Lt. Col. Brian Birdwell, an 

NRA member who suffered burns over 

60 percent of his body in the Pentagon 

attack. 

‘‘I’m back to active duty and I’m 

proud to be an NRA member,’’ he said. 

‘‘God bless America and God bless 

the NRA,’’ added Staff Sgt. Chris 

Braman, another NRA member who survived 

the Pentagon attack. 

Two NRA members killed in the 

World Trade Center attacks — federal 

agent Craig Miller and New York City 

police officer Walter Weaver — also 

were honored. 

Investigators zeroing in 

on cause of Superior fire 

SUPERIOR (AP) — Investigators believe they know the cause 

of a wildfire that burned six homes, eight vehicles and at least five 

outbuildings April 13. 

No one was injured in the blaze, which started in a dry creek 

bed near this community of 273 about 20 miles northeast of Rock 

Springs. 

Sweetwater County Sheriff Gary Bailiff said Thursday that officials 

believe they know how it started, but he preferred not to comment 

further because juveniles were involved and he did not want 

to compromise the investigation. 

More information will be made available when the probe is 

complete, he said. 

Meanwhile, a fund has been established to help the victims, 

some of whom lost all their belongings. 

Superior Mayor Bill Coble said many victims need household 

items, canned and dry goods and cleaning products. Clothing is 

also needed but he said he did not know what sizes the victims 

require.

Opinion THE 

SHERIDAN Press Saturday, 

Dysfunction 

helps in 

California 

This is about the time of year when college applicants 

find out whether they made the cut. So it’s too 

late for any helpful advice this year. 

But if you didn’t get accepted this time by the college 

of your dreams, I have a 

suggestion as to how you can 

improve your chances next 

year. 

First, forget about Harvard 

and send your application to 

the University of California’s 

San Diego campus. 

The colleges in the 

University of California system 

are theoretically subject to 

Proposition 209, which was 

passed by the state’s voters 

with a husky majority a couple 

of years ago. 

This initiative, which now 

has the force of law in California and has been upheld 

by the state’s Supreme Court, forbids any consideration 

of race as a factor in admission to the colleges in 

the system. 

But anybody who thinks the administrators of the 

University of California are going to be thwarted by 

any such trifling consideration as the will of the people 

underrates the ingenuity of these obstinate liberals. 

On many California campuses, officials at first tried 

simply disregarding the law — a strategy brusquely 

rejected by the courts. 

Then they decided to give extra “points” to applicants 

from low-income backgrounds, naively assuming 

this would be tantamount to giving extra points to 

black applicants. 

But it soon turned out that there were plenty of 

bright applicants from Asian and Caucasian families 

that qualified as “low-income,” so that idea had to be 

abandoned. 

In desperation, top officials are now proposing to 

scrap altogether the SAT — the test of a student’s likely 

performance in college that has long been the cornerstone 

of all evaluations. 

Meanwhile, the eight campuses in the U.C. system 

have been instructed to consider, in addition to academic 

achievement and family income, such other factors 

as family education, school environment, community 

service, talents, and leadership. 

Most of these have long been regarded as legitimate 

factors in evaluating a student’s overall qualifications, 

but the various colleges in the system can and do give 

them different emphases. 

Last month the San Diego Union-Tribune reported 

that U.C. San Diego had been remarkably innovative 

in discovering favorable factors in its applicants’ 

resumes. 

To be sure, SAT scores, a high grade-point average 

and excellence in challenging courses are still critical. 

And being an Eagle Scout, a team captain or student 

body president helps a lot, too. 

But beware if one or both of your parents attended 

college — an applicant gets up to 300 extra points for 

being the first generation in his or her family to attend 

college, though it’s hard to see why a student should 

be penalized for having college-educated parents. 

Then there was the applicant who got 250 points for 

disclosing in his application essay that he suffered 

from clinical depression and was on Prozac. 

Even more persuasive was the case of a student 

with a fine academic record and membership in the 

student senate. He earned an added 150 points because 

his family income was only $26,000 in 2001. 

But what really put him over the top was the disclosure 

in his essay that his parents were divorced and 

that he suffers from a neurological disorder that affects 

his ability to learn. 

The point is not that such students don’t deserve 

credit for overcoming personal disabilities. 

But have they earned the right to shoulder aside 

other applicants who don’t qualify for those all-important 

extra points? 

Woe betide the student whose parents are happily 

married, went to college themselves, and earn too 

much to rate as “low-income.” Pity the poor wretch 

who has no psychological or neurological disorder to 

confess to in her essay. 

The guidelines for applying to U.C. San Diego are 

clear: Come from a dysfunctional family, preferably 

below the poverty line; suffer from some learning disability, 

even if it’s only dyslexia; and make sure that 

nobody else in your extended family has ever been to 

college. 

Your academic record and extracurricular achievements 

will still be important, but you’ll beat the competition 

with all those extra points.

Dinner and data 

on PK Lane 

agenda Sunday 

Editor: 

Those outdoorsmen and -women in Sheridan 

County and the surrounding area who have joined 

together to fight the denial of access to our state land 

and the Big Horn Mountains via the Soldier Creek road 

are going to have a unique opportunity. 

They can visit firsthand with a county commissioner 

from another county who has been invited and accepted 

an invitation to attend the spaghetti dinner get together 

Sunday night. 

As most of you are aware, the Citizens for Public 

Access which is made up of small ranchers, sportsmen 

and -women and concerned citizens who oppose the 

Forbes attempt to shut down public access to Soldier 

Creek Road and their resulting lawsuit against sportsmen, 

have planned an informal spaghetti dinner 

Sunday, April 28. 

The dinner starts at 6 p.m. at the Golden Steer in 

Sheridan. 

I have been informed that donations are being 

accepted to offset the cost of the dinner, but the emphasis 

will be on updating people on the lawsuit filed by 

Forbes, meeting with those politicians who are commit- 

I have no idea what I’m going to write about today. 

My thoughts are no more settled than this crazy weather. 

In fact, I think I have been referred to as crazy too! 

I’ve been keeping busy, hoping to get some outside 

work done if the weather ever settles. 

Last week we had a wonderful 

retirement party at the Senior Center 

for Josie Garriott, who was the dispatcher 

there for many years. 

We had beautiful flowers, balloons, 

and the cooks baked and did a beautiful 

job decorating the cakes. Then the staff 

had a fun party for her that night, so 

hopefully we gave her a good “sendoff”! 

Monday, the cooks and office staff 

put on a delicious breakfast for the 

Center volunteers. It was terrific! Not 

only was it delicious, but also everyone 

was so cheerful and happy you’d never 

guess how early they all had to get up. 

The last I heard, 135 signed the guest list.

Kraft 

Then the cooks turned around and prepared lunch 

for the many who came to the Center as well as the 

home-delivered meals. So thank you ladies, you’re the 

greatest!! 

I love the Senior Center. I don’t know what I’d do 

without it. I call it my home away from home, and I 

know many others who feel the same way. Wish it had 

been here when my parents were alive. 

We all hope we will be able to care for ourselves up 

to our last breath, but if not, then it is wonderful to 

know we have the Center with all its programs to help 

us and our families. Not only the meals and minibuses, 

but Day Break, Outreach, Homecare, HUD Housing, 

Family Caregiver Services and Chore Service. 

I just hope I haven’t left something out. 

All these great services are provided through the 

Center. Do you realize we couldn’t provide all these 

things if it wasn’t for the optional 1 percent sales tax? 

ted to public access, finding out about similar public 

access attempts to shut off the public in other places in 

the state and to hear about a new Wyoming law which 

forbids and penalizes those who put illegal signs on 

public lands and public roads. 

As an added treat, Sheridan County citizens will 

have the opportunity to listen to what can be done to 

retain or gain public access when citizens have county 

commissioners willing to work with their constituents 

to stop these road closures. 

Sheridan County is unfortunate to have commissioners 

and a Forest Service who have left the public 

out to dry with the financial burden to fight for themselves, 

but after attending this meeting, Sheridan 

County citizens will find that this is not true of all 

county commissioners throughout the state. 

I am looking forward to attending this meeting. To 

the many who have requested, “Public Access to Public 

Lands” bumper stickers, I will have some available to 

give out. 

Mark your calendars — this Sunday, 6 p.m. at the 

Golden Steer for a relaxing spaghetti dinner and meeting 

with good company and good speakers.

In fact, we wouldn’t have a Senior Center if it 

hadn’t been for the sales tax. Also, the new addition to 

the courthouse, mental health, public health, the 

Advocacy and Resource Center, civil defense, the 

downtown fire station and I’m sure many more worthwhile 

projects have not only been 

made possible by this tax, but are 

provided operating money each 

year. 

I consider it a very painless 

way of making this one of the 

finest towns in Wyoming! I just 

hope we will always have the 

funds to continue with all these 

wonderful programs. 

Evidently my rotten squirrels 

overheard me talking to my 

“across the back fence” neighbor 

Bob about all these programs, 

because this morning when I 

looked out in my back yard here 

was a big sign, “Vote for the 1 percent 

Sales Tax, we need more peanuts”! 

I guess I’d best bring this to an end and let you 

know of the activities that are planned at the Senior 

Center in May. 

No matter how “old or young” you may be, we wish 

you a happy Older Americans Month! Hope to see you 

for lunch soon either at the Senior Center or Heritage 

Towers! 

WEDNESDAY, MAY 1 – MOVIE, “THE 

SEARCHERS.” One of my favorite Westerns, and I 

hope yours, stars John Wayne as a man searching for 

his niece, who was stolen in an Indian raid. Mr. 

Wayne’s son, Patrick, is also featured in the film. 

The movie will start at 12:30 p.m. in the Little Horn 

Room. Refreshments will be served. 

FRIDAY, MAY 3 – MEADOWLARK CHOIR. The 

children and their director, Mary Lee Garber, will be 

singing for us in the dining room at noon.

Whoever is doing the road construction from the 

Big Horn Y to Big Horn should have, as their last chore 

of the day, an obligation to see that all the holes that 

remain from their cross-the-road ditches are filled in 

and graded, instead of leaving them to damage and, in 

some cases, disable vehicles traveling the road at night. 

They put up some signs that say “bump,” but 

“bump” does not come close to describing the holes 

that are in the road.

Memorial Hospital's annual 

volunteer appreciation luncheon 

set a record Thursday with more 

than 100 people attending the 

event at the Sheridan Country 

Club, according to Volunteer 

Coordinator Stella Montano. 

The luncheon, in conjunction 

with National Volunteer 

Appreciation 

Week this 

week, was to 

show appreciation 

for all 

that volunteers 

do for 

the hospital, 

she added. 

"Volunteers 

play a myriad 

of different 

roles at the 

hospital," she 

said. 

Last year more than 140 volunteers 

gave more than 7,000 hours 

of their time, she continued. 

Volunteers deliver hospital 

mail each day, work in the gift 

shop, coordinate the 5-year-olds’ 

birthday party, help with the 

annual Health Fair and associated 

blood draws, sit with family members 

in the surgical waiting room, 

escort patients to different areas 

of the hospital, work as hospice 

volunteers, perform various clerical 

tasks and "provide other services 

too numerous to mention," 

Montano said. 

Other volunteers are members 

of the Hospital Auxiliary, whose 

members work in the Gift Shop

Montano said the group was 

also the featured entertainment for 

VA Medical Center volunteers 

who gathered at the Holiday Inn 

later Thursday. 

She said volunteers at the hospital 

range from high school students 

to individuals in their 90s, 

and while many are individuals, 

others volunteer as part of a group 

such as Three Peaks Christian 

School students, representatives 

of the American Association of 

Retired Persons and missionaries 

from the Church of Jesus Christ of 

Latter-day Saints. 

Montano added the hospital is 

always looking for more volunteers 

to help out with a variety of 

hospital activities and tasks. 

Anyone interested in becoming a 

hospital volunteer is asked to call 

her at 672-1198.

SOLDIER CREEK TRAIL/PK LANE 

The Citizens for Public Access (CPA) are asking for your 

continued financial support in the ongoing legal battle to 

keep this hiking and horseback route open and accessible for 

everyone. This historic trail, built in the early 1890’s entirely 

on public domain lands, provides access into the Bighorn 

National Forest, Wyoming State Lands, and BLM Lands. 

Although the trail has been used continuously by the general 

public since it was built, the trail was in danger of being lost 

to the general public forever, prior to our legal efforts. 

Legal depositions have been completed by all parties, and 

we are now awaiting a court decision regarding the 

intervenor status of the 4 other individuals (including three 

rancher) and the Wyoming Wildlife Federation to join in the Public 

Lawsuit vs. The Forbes Family. 

The CPA is hosting an informational meeting and dinner, 

Sunday, April 28th, 6pm, Golden Steer Restaurant. All 

interested individuals are invited to attend including; our 

sitting County Commissioners, Commission Candidates, 

USFS, BLM, Access 

and WY G & F Dept. 

The Wyoming Wildlife Federation (WWF) has agreed to 

help the CPA in this legal fight, but we need more local 

financial support. If you have not contributed, please 

consider doing so now. If you have already contributed and 

are able to help us more, we would appreciate it. Legal 

proceedings are very expensive, but there was no alternative. 

We are fighting to insure continued public access to our 

public lands. 

Make your check payable to the Wyoming Wildlife 

Federation and mail it to: PO Box 6126, Sheridan, WY 

82801. (note Soldier Creek Trail or PK Lane on your check 

memo line)

Whose prayers 

does God 

answer? 

PASTOR CHUCK LUCAS 

N 

ational Day of Prayer is this coming week on Thursday, and many people will pray for God’s intervention in their 

lives and in the situations of the world. 

But is God obligated to answer our prayers? Whose prayer s does He answer anyway? 

First, let me tell you whose prayers God doesn’t answer: 

In Psalm 66:18 it says, "If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me." When we embrace (hold on 

to) our sin, harboring it rather than confessing and forsaking it, God won’t answer our prayers. Proverbs 1:23-29 says, "If you 

had responded to my rebuke, I would have poured out my heart to you and made my thoughts known to you. But since you 

rejected me when I called and no one gave heed when I stretched out my hand, since you ignored all my advice and would not 

accept my rebuke, I in turn will laugh at your disaster; I will mock when calamity overtakes you…..Then they will call to me 

but I will not answer. They look for me but will not find me." 

Second, let me tell you whose prayer God does answer: 

In 2nd Chronicles 7:14 it says, "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray…" 

a) Humble means to bend the knee, thereby implying subjection. This is an outward sign of an inner submission to God. 

God hates a proud look; humility implies obedience. The old hymn "Trust and obey, for there’s no other way…" still holds 

true . If you obey God’s Word, then He will answer your prayer. 

b) Pray in 2nd Chronicles 7:14 means "to judge" or to welcome the mind of Christ and the authority of His Word into our 

lives in a kind of "Thy will be done" attitude. 

c) The next step in 2nd Chronicles to answered prayer is to turn from our wicked ways or admit our sin, confess it and stop 

doing it. Then God will answer your prayers. "Then I will hear from Heaven…" 

On National Day of Prayer, Thursday, May 2, we need to join together as a community, humble ourselves, turn from our 

wicked ways, pray, obey, and then watch God work.

Journalists, historians missed one of 20th 

entury’s biggest trends, scholar contends 

By Richard N. Ostling 

AP Religion Writer 

Did journalists, pundits and historians 

miss one of the 20th century’s biggest social 

trends in writing all those backward looks at 

New Year’s 2000? Philip Jenkins, professor 

of history and religious studies at Penn State 

University, thinks so. 

While Fascism and Nazism have vanished 

and Communism is dying, he observes, ‘‘perhaps 

the most successful social movement of 

the past century’’ is Pentecostalism, which 

started with a handful of believers and now 

encompasses hundreds of millions. And that’s 

only part of the picture, since there are far 

more Roman Catholics than Pentecostals. 

What many have missed, Jenkins says, is 

Christianity’s strong expansion in the 

‘‘South’’ — Latin America, Africa and parts 

of Asia — while in the ‘‘North’’ it merely 

holds steady in the United States and shrinks 

in western Europe. 

That scenario is spelled out in Jenkins’ 

book ‘‘The Next Christendom: The Coming 

Noreen 

to receive 

doctoral 

degree 

Sister Gladys Noreen, Order of 

Saint Benedict, of the San Benito 

Monastery in Dayton, is scheduled 

to receive a doctoral degree next 

week from the Graduate 

Theological Union in Donaldson, 

Ind. 

Wednesday 

and Thursday 

she is to present 

and 

defend her 

doctoral dissertation 

on a 

chapter of 

Pope John Paul 

II’s encyclical 

on ecumenism 

or church unity, 

titled “Et 

Unum Sint.” 

The Pope’s 

Sister Gladys 

Noreen 

encyclical title really means, “That 

they may be one,” Sister Gladys 

Noreen said. 

She has a master of arts degree 

from Washington University, St. 

Louis, with studies in world religions. 

Her doctoral program included a 

two-week workshop in Rome last 

year, reports on publications relating 

to ecumenism, and participation 

in ecumenical seminars including 

dialogues between Christian monks 

and Buddhist and Hindu monks, 

according to a press release from 

San Benito Monastery. 

These dialogues were encouraged 

by the pope to foster understanding 

and to provide bonding 

experiences in prayer, the release 

states. 

Sister Gladys Noreen entered 

the Order of Saint Benedict in 1972, 

and came to the Dayton monastery 

in 1987, staying five years. She was 

then stationed at the order’s 

monastery in St. Louis for five 

years, returning to Dayton in 1997. 

Her degree is scheduled to be 

conferred on Friday. 

Accompanying her will be 

Sister Regina Arnold of San Benito 

Monastery and Sister Gladys 

Noreen’s mother and sister. 

Sister Gladys Noreen has been 

active in religious education in several 

Wyoming Catholic parishes, 

particularly St. Edmund’s in 

Ranchester and Holy Name in 

Sheridan.

Jenkins says southern Christians read the 

Bible quite differently from western liberals. 

The rising Christendom is drenched in supernaturalism, 

both biblical and present-day, he 

reports. So it resonates with the world of the 

literal New Testament as a faith for the poor, 

despised, diseased and persecuted. 

Unlike declining liberal churches to the 

north, Jenkins says, southern Christianity 

gives the Bible ‘‘authenticity and immediacy.’’ 

Scriptural messages to the oppressed are 

drenched with meaning, and pessimism about 

the secular world is widespread. Churches 

preach evangelism, moral conservatism, mysticism, 

miracles of healing, exorcism and 

strength under persecution. 

Westerners can understand the sufferings 

of God’s people in the Bible as ‘‘an intellectual 

exercise.’’ But in many lands, martyrdom 

and oppression are current realities and 

churches cherish ‘‘visions of a coming world 

in which God will rule, persecutors will per- 

Last week, a young friend married his 

sweetheart in another state, and I was there. 

He had asked me last August to be a 

groomsman, and I accepted this honor with 

honor. Friends do that. 

In the real world, weddings are often 

occasions for misgivings. Love presses 

lovers to cross barriers of culture, creed, 

society, status and race. 

Unfortunately, not everyone involved 

can face these barrier-crossings with the 

grace and decorum that are called for. The 

lovers are called star-crossed, and their love 

(and certainly their wedding) is considered 

somehow unmeant. 

Offense can be deep enough and painful 

enough that the wedding is boycotted, relationships 

are cloyed, and the intended 

shunned. 

Much of our culture’s drama has been driven 

by barrier-crossing love. “Romeo and 

Juliet” comes to mind (or the modern version, 

“Westside Story”). Of course, Shakespeare 

(and Levant and Bernstein) did not invent the 

situation as much as report it. 

So, here I was, a week ago, in one of those 

weddings fraught with misgivings, such that 

the groom’s parents, who live a 20-minute 

drive from the wedding chapel, refused to 

attend.

ish and the righteous be vindicated.’’ 

Jenkins believes communism’s death and 

the declining credibility of many nation-states 

makes religious identity perhaps the most 

powerful force in global affairs. This has a 

potential nightmare aspect, since Christianity 

and Islam are the two main competitors and 

each is massive and expansion-minded. 

That differs from Samuel Huntington’s 

much-mulled ‘‘Clash of Civilizations’’ 

(1996), which depicted Islam’s growth and 

militancy but downplayed Christian expansion. 

Jenkins is convinced that into the foreseeable 

future, Christianity will maintain its 

numerical ‘‘massive lead’’ over Islam. 

At one time Islam was largely tolerant and 

Christianity was often oppressive, Jenkins 

observes, but in recent years ‘‘there is no 

question that the threat of intolerance and persecution 

chiefly comes from the Islamic 

side.’’ He cites numerous examples. 

By 2050, many major nations ‘‘could be 

profoundly divided between Islam and 

Christianity and, judging by present trends, 

any or all of them could be the scene of serious 

interfaith conflict,’’ he writes. Dangerous 

An 

Upward 

Glance 

By 

Tim 

Cummings 

The groom was nonchalant and endured 

this neglect with as much charm and courage 

as can be exacted from an 18-year-old on one 

of his better days. Still, while driving to the 

rehearsal, he asked me why his parents didn’t 

like him anymore. 

I had no answer; just a haunting inner 

response: No son should have to ask that question. 

I asked if it might help if I called his parents 

and invite them to their son’s wedding in 

my cheery, charming, winning way. He said,

types of countries: 

—Predominantly Muslim with significant 

Christian minority (for example, Indonesia, 

Egypt, Sudan). 

—Predominantly Christian with significant 

Muslim minority (Philippines, Congo, 

Germany, Uganda). 

—Muslims and Christians roughly equal 

(Nigeria, Ethiopia, Tanzania). 

Though Christianity usually ‘‘atrophies 

among the rich and secure,’’ he says, the 

United States is a huge exception. So are professional 

and high-tech groups within Pacific 

Rim nations. 

Regarding the United States, he notes an 

amazingly daft 2000 piece by a New York 

Times editorial writer that described emptying 

pews and aging memberships, as though 

American Christianity were dying. That’s true 

in some situations. But overall, the numbers 

remain constant, and churches are growing 

among Pentecostals, Charismatics, evangelicals, 

Roman Catholics, blacks and immigrants, 

he said. 

The groom got married in my socks 

You would do that? I took that as a yes, and 

rang up his parents the next morning, the 

day of the wedding. 

Needless to say, my invitation was 

unwelcome, and the groom’s mother would 

have made mincemeat out of me had I been 

within cleaver’s reach. 

She had misgivings. 

It is not at all strange that a son would 

want his parents at his wedding, I said. I am 

just calling to tell you your boy is getting 

married this afternoon and you are invited. 

Boy, did she have misgivings. 

That afternoon we were pulling on our 

tuxes, fighting with cufflinks and weird bow 

ties and tight, pointy, black shoes. 

The groom says, Tim, where are the 

black socks? 

Ummm, I explained. 

The tux people usually expect you to bring 

your own. 

Oh, man! I only have white socks on! 

I told him I didn’t mind being thought of as 

a dork from Wyoming who wore white socks 

with a black tux, and offered to trade him my 

nice, bought-for-the-wedding black socks. 

You will be wed in my socks, I said. 

Somehow that’s kind of cool. 

Wish your parents were here, kid, I said. 

Me too, he said. 

Southern Baptists say membership tops 16 million 

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — 

The Southern Baptist Convention, 

the nation’s largest Protestant 

denomination, says it grew even 

bigger last year, adding 92,612 

followers for a total membership 

of 16,052,920. 

Still, the gain was lower than 

the increase in 2000, when the 

convention added about 109,000

people. And baptisms last year 

declined by 18,727, to about 

396,000. 

The statistics were collected 

from local Baptist associations and 

state conventions for the annual 

church profile. 

In several states, moderate 

Southern Baptists have broken 

away from their state conventions, 

taking members and churches with 

them, to protest the conservative 

beliefs of the church’s national 

leaders. 

It remains unclear how many 

members have been lost to the 

breakaway groups, since some 

churches maintain ties with both 

the state conventions and the new 

moderate organizations. 

The next two largest Protestant 

denominations in terms of membership 

are the United Methodists, 

with 8,340,954, and the Church of

Arts promote healing 

By Sharon Roark-Zillmer 

HCHY board member 

(Editor’s note: This is one of a 

continuing series of articles about 

Healthy Communities Healthy Youth) 

From time out of mind, we humans have 

had to make sense of our own existence. 

We try to understand life, make sense of 

our relationships, create a just and workable 

society, and 

develop our 

children in 

ways in which 

they can relate 

realistically 

with other 

humans. 

The arts, 

especially the 

fine arts, have 

always played 

a key role in human understandings of “how it 

is.” 

Every human being attempts to live out his 

life with some measure of success and happiness. 

Key to that is making sense in dealing 

with life’s experiences. How can the sounds, 

the colors, the movement of life, depicted in 

music, art, dance, drama, and literature, contribute 

to that understanding? 

The artist in action and the viewer of that 

Government gives 

$3.5 million in grants 

for stem cell research 

Awarded to 

four institutions 

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The 

government Friday awarded its first 

grants for embryonic stem cell 

research since President Bush gave 

approval for limited federal funding. 

The $3.5 million given to four 

institutions will help them make 

stem cell lines available to 

researchers worldwide and train 

them how to handle and reproduce 

the cells, Health and Human 

Services Secretary Tommy 

Thompson said Friday. 

Bush said last summer he would 

allow federal funding for research 

on certain embryonic stem cell 

lines, or cell colonies. 

The grants from the National 

Institutes of Health were awarded 

to Cellsaurus, a subsidiary of 

Bresagen of Athens, Ga.; ES Cell 

International Pte Ltd. of 

Melbourne, Australia; the 

University of California, San 

Francisco; and the Wisconsin 

Alumni Research Foundation in 

Madison.

art perceive a special depiction of color, light, 

movement, words and sound, a special selection 

which present a special understanding of 

that experience. The painter doesn’t just copy 

whatever, he selects and organizes that object. 

The same with the dramatist, the dancer 

and the musician. It is in the selection of this, 

not that, that the interpretation of life’s colors, 

sounds and experiences occurs. 

When life’s problems, life’s chaos seem to 

overcome one, what better avenue to turn to 

than the arts, both fine and applied, for getting 

a handle on life via the selection process, 

via the arts avenue that appeals to the 

viewer or to the artist. 

Musician Chris Brubeck said, “After Sept. 

11, people wanted the concerts to go on. 

They thought that although we were in a 

state of mourning, it was really important to 

have the arts continue as the celebration of 

the high-end aspect of humanity, when we 

had all just been hit with just the evil and 

low point of the human race. It was necessary 

to elevate healing.” 

When Tim Tonak, Sheridan High School 

junior, was asked what the arts meant to him, 

he replied, “Enjoyment, pleasure to listen to 

and to play. The arts around here are great.” 

When asked about Brubeck and his trio, 

Triple Play, Tonak said, “Sheerly amazing. So 

together. That pushes me to keep playing. It 

was cool to talk to him, to see where he was 

coming from and how he did it and got started. 

They form within days of conception 

and are the ancestral cells from 

which all of the organs and others 

cells develop. 

Scientists believe that research 

could lead to using the cells to 

replace or restore failing organs, 

treating such conditions as heart 

disease, spinal injury, diabetes and 

Parkinson’s disease. 

The use of embryonic stem cells 

is controversial because extracting 

the cells kills a living human 

embryo. 

Last summer, Bush struck a 

middle ground, saying federal money 

could support this research but 

only on stem cell colonies in existence 

on Aug. 9, the date of his 

speech. 

The four institutions who were 

given grants Friday have 17 of the 

78 stem cell colonies eligible for 

funding. 

Thompson, who made the 

announcement at a Madison 

biotechnology company, said more 

grants would be awarded in the 

coming months. 

‘‘It is in keeping with the president’s 

vision and my own personal 

commitment,’’ Thompson said. 

‘‘We must do the research in the 

ethical framework laid out by the 

president.’’

He stayed in school.” 

When Jean McFadden, grandmother of 

Sheridan High School senior Jessica Duncan, 

was asked what the arts mean to her, she stated, 

“It is a way to express creativity and brings 

joy and relieves stress. The Chris Brubeck concert 

was fabulous. 

“It was such a twist. I expected jazz and it 

turned out to be so versatile. It worked because 

it got my mind off everyday worries and took 

me to a beautiful place.” 

To this end, the Healthy Community 

Healthy Youth program of Sheridan County 

supports efforts of the community to provide 

young people with a special place to go during 

nonschool hours, thereby increasing the likelihood 

that they will find a new way of constructing 

time. 

HCHY believes that arts influence all ages, 

enabling participants to make a connection 

between their own choices and the consequences 

of those choices. The arts experiences 

then travel with a youth through life and act as 

an open door to the knowledge and comfort it 

brings. Self-esteem and a sense of purpose are 

the results of arts experiences. 

Making, perceiving and reflection are central 

to building understanding in the arts. Arts 

experiences present many opportunities to 

develop valuable thinking skills that lead to 

understanding. 

Sheridan High School won the 

team event in Class A (juniors and 

seniors), and also won the team and 

individual events in Class B (freshmen

SHS and Big Horn High School 

shared the top individual scores in 

Class A competition. 

The individual medalists in 

Class B were Joel Thompson with a

THE 

SHERIDAN Press Saturday, April 27, 2002 

Rung Out 

DENVER (AP) — Colorado Rockies manager Buddy Bell 

was fired Friday with the team off to the worst start in club 

history. 

Hitting coach Clint Hurdle replaced Bell, general manager 

Dan O’Dowd said. The announcement was made about three 

hours before the start of the Rockies’ home game with the 

Philadelphia Phillies. 

‘‘I am disappointed that this has not worked out the way I 

wanted it to,’’ Bell said. ‘‘I wanted to see this thing 

through.’’ 

O’Dowd said the change was not about assigning blame, 

but about trying to turn around the Rockies’ 6-16 start. 

‘‘Quite honestly, we need to start playing the game with 

more joy and more confidence than we’ve played already this 

The Masters 

Oldtimers’ 

opinions 

vary on new 

age limit 

SUPERSTITION SPRINGS, Ariz. 

(AP) — Gary Player is ‘‘sad and 

hurt’’ and Jack Nicklaus is reserving 

comment after Masters officials established 

new age limits for the major 

tournament. 

Under the new rules, next year’s 

Masters would be the last for Player, 

67, and almost certainly the last for 

Nicklaus, 62. Player won the event 

three times and Nicklaus a record six 

times. 

‘‘I was shocked that they broke 

their word,’’ Player said Friday after 

completing the second round of the 

Countrywide Tradition, a major on the 

Senior PGA Tour. 

Player recalled that longtime 

Masters chairman Clifford Roberts 

had told him that he would be allowed 

to play in the tournament for as long 

as he wanted. 

Masters officials announced 

Thursday that, beginning in 2004, the 

tournament would not allow players 

over 65, and golfers could compete up 

to age 65 only if they played in 15 

tournaments that year. 

Nicklaus has no intention of playing 

15 tournaments a year. 

‘‘I don’t think I played 15 tournaments 

the year I won in ’86,’’ he said. 

‘‘I was playing 12 or 14 tournaments a 

year, something like that.’’ 

Still, he wouldn’t say what he 

thinks of the new rules. 

‘‘Let me think about it awhile, 

then I’ll release something,’’ he said. 

Nicklaus didn’t play in this year’s 

Masters because of an ailing back. 

Nicklaus would be 63 at next 

year’s Masters, nine years younger 

than Arnold Palmer was at his Masters 

farewell this year. 

Player seemed as incensed about 

eliminating Nicklaus from the tournament 

as he was about his own omission. 

‘‘They give Arnold an opportunity 

to play until he’s 72,’’ Player said, 

‘‘then all of a sudden they come out 

with 65. ... Jack Nicklaus doesn’t play 

15 tournaments. I don’t think he’s 

going to make an effort to go play 

more just to play at Augusta. That 

would be ridiculous to have Jack 

Nicklaus not play.’’ 

Player prides himself in being in 

great physical condition, and said he 

practices the game diligently 

‘‘I was trying to be the oldest player 

to make the cut,’’ Player said, ‘‘and 

they destroy your incentive.’’ 

However, 1976 Masters champion 

Raymond Floyd said he believes the 

new rules ‘‘are very fair.’’ 

‘‘We’re kind of a club, we past 

Masters champions,’’ he said, ‘‘and I 

think as a group that we probably 

abused it somewhat — guys teeing off 

and withdrawing every year. What is 

that? To tee off and play one hole or 

three holes or nine and withdraw. I 

mean, that got to be the norm, not the 

exception.’’ 

Floyd, 59, said those who aren’t 

eligible to play still can be part of the 

Masters. 

‘‘Sixty-five is certainly long 

enough to be playing,’’ Floyd said. 

‘‘Let’s face it, you can’t compete. 

Maybe one of us that’s fit or playing 

well can go out and make the cut, but 

that’s still not competing. To be a part 

of the tournament and be invited to 

come to the dinner and play in the par- 

3 and practice rounds, you still can 

feel a part of it.’’ 

year,’’ O’Dowd said. ‘‘We really need to start building some 

positive momentum. 

‘‘This is about a new step forward.’’ 

The Rockies have the worst record in the National League 

and the second-worst record in the majors, just ahead of 

Detroit, and are eight games behind first-place Arizona in the 

NL West. 

‘‘We are beat up right now,’’ Hurdle said. ‘‘We are not 

playing a good game of baseball. My job is going to be to 

hopefully reinstill some confidence.’’ 

Hurdle said he was excited about the opportunity but 

hadn’t thought he would become a manager this way. 

‘‘This is not the way I would have written the story for the 

opportunity to evolve,’’ Hurdle said. 


SHERIDAN sophomore Sarah Hoversten gives it all she’s got in advancing the 

ball upfield in play against Natrona Friday night at Homer Scott Field.

CASPER — Natrona defeated Sheridan 3-1 

Friday night in a conference match at Natrona 

County High School. 

“We played very well. We actually got our 

attack going for the first time in a long time,” 

Bronc head coach Victor Dalla Betta said. 

Rockies fire manager Buddy Bell 

Natrona defeated Sheridan 5-1 earlier this 

season. 

Natrona led 1-0 at the half. 

Sheridan junior Peter Stevens scored off a 

header coming from a corner kick 10 minutes 

into the second half, cutting Natrona’s lead to 

2-1. 

Natrona scored its last goal with about 15 

minutes remaining. 

Bell was the third major league manager fired this season. 

Phil Garner was let go by Detroit on April 9, while Milwaukee 

fired Davey Lopes on April 18. All three teams have seen 

large attendance drops: Colorado entered Friday with the fifthlargest 

falloff the NL at 42,110, averaging 35,776 for 10 home 

dates. 

Bell, 50, was in his third season with the Rockies. His only 

season with a winning record was 2000, when the Rockies finished 

82-80. He also managed in Detroit. 

As a player, Bell was a five-time All-Star in 18 seasons in 

the major leagues, playing most of his career with the 

Cleveland Indians, Texas Rangers and Cincinnati Reds. A 

third basemen, he led his league in fielding three times and 

won six consecutive Gold Gloves. 

Lady Broncs 

boot Natrona 

By Patrick J. Murphy 

Sports Editor 

Sheridan’s girls defeated Natrona 2-1 on a penalty 

kick Friday night at Homer Scott Field. 

Hannah Tenny found the right upper corner of 

Natrona’s goal for the winning score on the penalty 

kick, which was set up by the effort of Gretchen 

Rosendahl. 

Rosendahl was tripped while dribbling the ball on 

an attack toward Natrona’s goal. The Fillies were 

called for a foul, setting up Tenny’s penalty kick. 

“Gretchen worked the ball hard and she had a good 

opportunity for a shot and she 

got taken out,” Sheridan head 

coach Chris Cook said. 

Rosendahl scored Sheridan’s 

first goal in the second half at the 

45th minute. 

She was assisted on the goal 

by Christina Abel. 

There was no score at the 

half, and Natrona scored at about 

the 65th minute. 

Sheridan’s conference victory 

“is a good morale booster for 

us,” Cook said. “We thought we 

played well when we were at 

Natrona.” 

Gretchen 

Rosendahl 

The Lady Broncs lost 3-1 in Casper earlier this 

month. 

In a spring season marred and interrupted by bad 

weather, Friday night’s playing conditions were ideal. 

“I’m not sure we knew how to play in nice weather,” 

Cook joked, and on a more serious note, said, 

“Chris and Gretchen really played solid, and Erin 

Clements really played solid on defense. She saved 

our bacon a couple times. There are still some things 

we have to work on, and Natrona showed us those 

things.” 

The Lady Broncs, 4-5-1 overall and 2-2 in the conference, 

host Worland Tuesday (4-6 p.m.) for their 

final home game of the season. 

“Right now we are sitting third in the conference 

and Gillette and Natrona still have to play, and Buffalo 

and Natrona still have to play, so we have an opportunity 

to bump up to second place (in the conference),” 

Cook said. 

The Lady Broncs can help themselves in the conference 

standings with a win in their final match of the 

regular at Buffalo next Friday (4-6 p.m.). 

Broncs fall on the road to Natrona 3-1 

Sheridan had eight shots on goal and 

Natrona had 12. 

“That is a lot better production than we had 

in past games, and (goalkeeper) Zach Wheeler 

had seven saves,” Dalla Betta said. 

The Broncs, 2-7-1 overall and 1-3 in the 

conference, play at home today against 

Gillette. Junior varsity plays at 10 a.m. and the 

varsity match is at noon. 

Kings hope to take Avs to Game 7 again 

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Down one game to 

defending Stanley Cup champion Colorado, Los 

Angeles coach Andy Murray sounds as if the 

Kings have the Avalanche right where they want 

them. 

‘‘When you start on the road, what you want 

is Game 6 in your building,’’ Murray said 

Friday. ‘‘Then anything can happen in Game 7.’’ 

He smiled and added, ‘‘Of course, you have 

to get Game 7.’’ 

Colorado leads the best-of-seven series 3-2, 

with the Kings’ 1-0 overtime win in Denver on 

Thursday forcing the Avalanche to return to Los 

Angeles for Game 6 Saturday afternoon. 

The Kings came back from a 3-1 deficit last 

year to send that second-round series to a seventh 

game, which the Avalanche won 5-1 in 

Denver on their way to the Stanley Cup. 

Colorado coach Bob Hartley wasn’t interested 

in hearing about last year. 

‘‘As far as I know, we advanced. If you can 

guarantee me the same outcome, I won’t even 

bother flying to L.A.,’’ Hartley said. 

Murray said that while he was sure the 

Avalanche would have preferred not to return to 

Los Angeles, ‘‘The bottom line is that they just 

want to win the series.’’ 

The Kings are expected to be without left 

wing Adam Deadmarsh, out with a neck injury, 

and defenseman Philippe Boucher, who was 

struck near the eye by the puck in Thursday’s 

game. 

Right wing Cliff Ronning, who hasn’t played 

since the third game because of a concussion, 

might be able to go in Game 6. 

Murray didn’t seem particularly concerned. 

‘‘I don’t care. The rules say we can dress 20 

players and we’ll have 20 players,’’ the Los 

Angeles coach said. ‘‘We don’t feel sorry for 

ourselves, because nobody else will. 

‘‘This is just another test, another challenge 

for us. Bring it on. We’ve met a lot of tests, a lot 

of challenges this year.’’ 

Colorado left wing Peter Forsberg, who had a 

goal and four assists in the first two games of the 

series but has just one assist since, has been 

absorbing a lot of punishment from the Kings. In 

Game 5, he took several hard blows away from 

the puck, but no penalties were called. 

Meanwhile, he drew two penalties. 

‘‘It’s frustrating because he probably got 

three or four sticks in the face that were not 

called,’’ Hartley said. ‘‘Many other teams have 

addressed this issue since the start of the playoffs 

and there’s no sense for us going into details.’’ 

The tone of the series changed since the first 

three games, when the teams combined for a 

total of 19 goals. 

Colorado goaltender Patrick Roy shut out the 

Kings 1-0 in Game 4, then Los Angeles goalie 

Felix Potvin returned the favor in the Kings’ 

overtime victory in Game 5. 

Potvin, who had shutouts in the fifth and six 

games against Colorado last year, has allowed 

two goals in the last three games after giving up 

nine in the first two contests. 

‘‘We saw some wide-open games, we saw 

some tight-checking games, and what’s going to 

be in (Game 6), I don’t know,’’ Hartley said. 

Colorado’s Dan Hinote said familiarity 

breeds low-scoring games. 

‘‘I think after all the video and the games that 

we’ve played against each other, now we know 

how to counteract each other’s offense,’’ Hinote 

said. ‘‘It’s going to be a tight game, it’s going to 

be a lucky bounce that decides the game.’’ 

Game 5 ended with a controversial bounce — 

the puck caromed off the skate of Los Angeles’ 

Craig Johnson, past Roy and into the net. Hartley 

thought Johnson kicked the puck in, which 

would have nullified the goal. 

Murray contended that Johnson’s skate was 

not behind the puck, so he couldn’t have kicked 

it.

B2 The Sheridan Press, Saturday, April 27, 2002 

Wireless TV 

binoculars 

aim to enhance 

live sports events 

ATLANTA (AP) — Not sure the runner touched the bag rounding 

second? Wondering whether that last pitch was off the plate? 

A new wireless video device available to fans at Atlanta Braves 

games offers personal instant replays from multiple camera angles. 

And when the game is a yawner, it’s no problem: The gadget gets 

seven channels to watch other games, the news — even cartoons. 

The device, called The Insider, was introduced on opening day at 

the Turner Field. It looks like a fancy pair of binoculars and rents for 

$20 a game. 

Baseball may be just the beginning. 

Creator Taz Anderson envisions a day when golf fans use it to 

keep an eye on holes they don’t feel like walking to, and NASCAR 

fans tune in to a camera placed in their favorite driver’s car. 

Victor Boudolf borrowed one from his friend at a recent Braves- 

Diamondbacks game, slipping the gray, 1-pound device around his 

neck, putting on the earphones and switching on the palm-sized 

receiver/battery pack. 

‘‘Whoa. It’s like one national pastime right with the other. You 

got baseball, and you got sitting on your butt watching TV. This is 

way cool,’’ he said. 

Anderson, 60, is a booming ex-fullback from Georgia Tech who 

can’t stop smiling at curious fans milling around The Insider booth at 

Turner Field. A real estate salesman who dabbles in the outdooradvertising 

business, Anderson came up with the idea as a way to 

give sports fans a little more to do than, say, just watch the game. 

Sports themselves aren’t enough to keep people coming back to 

the park, Anderson said, pointing out the nearby baseball arcade 

games, the speed-pitch machines, a face-painting booth and a costumed 

Scooby Doo character walking by. 

‘‘People want more,’’ he said. 

Which is why, Anderson said, that venue owners won’t mind renting 

a device that allows fans to watch events other than the one they 

paid to see. 

Anderson doesn’t claim to have invented any part of the device, 

though he said its patent is pending and it has an experimental 

Federal Communications Commission license. 

A short-distance transmitter at the stadium sends several camera 

feeds to the devices, which feature dual LCD screens. The Insider 

also shows ESPNews, Headline News and the Cartoon Network. 

The channels could be changed for major sporting events. For 

example, baseball fans could switch over to local college football 

games on Saturday evenings in the fall. 

‘‘We see nothing but positive results so far,’’ Bob Wolfe, a senior 

vice president for the Braves, said of the Insider. The devices will be 

available at Georgia Tech and Atlanta Falcons football games this 

fall, with possible expansion to other baseball parks next season. 

The Braves aren’t the first to experiment with wireless gadgets at a 

sports arena. In San Francisco, 3Com Stadium allows 49ers fans to 

use handheld computers to check statistics or send e-mail, thanks to 

50 transmitters in the stadium. 

Anderson, meantime, is negotiating to make the Insider available 

for rentals at NASCAR races and PGA events. 

‘‘I think everyone’s waiting to see how it goes at the Braves 

games,’’ said John Marshall, a spokesman for the PGA’s BellSouth 

Classic tournament in Atlanta. 

Not terrific, actually. After a dozen games at Turner, business 

remains tepid. About 50 units are rented a game out of 200 available. 

But Anderson and his two dozen employees have reason to hope 

— at times curious fans were stacked five deep to get a look at the 

binoculars. 

‘‘Hey, y’all, you gotta come look at this,’’ Anderson waved to two 

khaki-wearing, golf-shirted men. He handed the pair a couple of 

demo Insiders. ‘‘Isn’t it great? Isn’t it the greatest thing you ever 

saw?’’ 

The men took a look, nodded in agreement, then smiled apologetically 

and declined to rent one. 

Regan Gealy, 25, decided to rent one with a free coupon she got 

elsewhere in the park. She later found the binoculars to be a little 

unwieldy, the picture too fuzzy to justify the $20. 

‘‘Where would it ever be convenient to use it? I don’t get it,’’ 

Gealy said, trying to cue up a replay of a Curt Schilling pitch and 

struggling with the receiver. 

Gealy’s friend gave it higher marks. 

‘‘It’s good if you like to watch the pitchers,’’ said Bobby 

Williamson. ‘‘Myself, I’d rather just watch the game.’’ 

The Insider costs about $1,000 to make, and is not currently for 

sale to the public. Anderson said he’s waiting until the price drops to 

about $500, hoping by then that the service will be available at many 

venues. 

One fan who tried The Insider, Elizabeth Boylin, initially scoffed 

at the idea people would pay to watch TV when they already paid to 

see a game. 

But then the Diamondbacks jumped to an early 3-0 lead off a double 

to left field that Chipper Jones should’ve caught. Boylin asked to 

borrow her friend’s Insider. 

‘‘It keeps going like this, the Cartoon Network’s gonna start looking 

pretty good,’’ Boylin said.

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Prosecutors will 

not file charges in an alleged rape at a party 

attended by University of Colorado football 

players and recruits. 

District Attorney Mary Keenan said Friday 

her decision reflected ‘‘the many difficulties frequently 

encountered in prosecutions of acquaintance 

rape.’’ She said it was based on what prosecutors 

thought was the likely success of the case 

in trial. 

The allegations were made by a female student 

after a Dec. 7 party that was hosted by four 

women at an off-campus location. University 

officials have said it was not a sanctioned 

recruiting event and that the women had no affiliation 

with the athletic department. 

Though no charges will be brought, the four 

Colorado football players involved will be disciplined, 

coach Gary Barnett said. 

‘‘Our football program has been embarrassed 

and those who brought this about will be pun-

Asked what rules the players broke, Barnett 

said: ‘‘They brought great embarrassment to the 

university. That is the standard they violated.’’ 

He refused to identify the players or say 

whether they were still students at the university. 

Barnett also refused to give any details about the 

recruits, including how many there were or 

whether any of them had enrolled at the university. 

Barnett promised that the university’s recruiting 

practices would be made more ‘‘wholesome.’’ 

He hinted that the players’ status as athletes 

in a successful, well-loved program may 

have played a role.

that go along with being an intercollegiate athlete 

in a very visible sport,’’ he said. ‘‘This does not 

excuse any behavior, but it may help to explain 

its context.’’ 

The Buffaloes were Big 12 champions last 

season, finishing No. 9 in the national rankings. 

Colorado Chancellor Richard L. Byyny has 

ordered the athletic department to increase supervision 

of athletes, including visiting recruits. 

Curfews will be imposed and enforced and an 

education program emphasizing the consequences 

of misbehavior will be created. 

‘‘We deeply regret that this incident occurred 

at a time that should have been a positive experience 

for both students and recruits,’’ he said. 

The district attorney’s office and the police 

department are evaluating the evidence to determine 

if lesser charges are warranted, such as providing 

alcohol to minors or theft. 

Keenan planned to discuss her decision further 

at a news conference Friday afternoon. 

Scoreboard U.S. women 

tennis players 

eager to play 

in Fed Cup 

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — 

U.S. women return to Fed Cup 

competition today, eager to earn 

their 18th title after withdrawing 

from the event last year in the 

wake of Sept. 11. 

The U.S. team did not attempt 

to win its third straight title last 

October, citing security concerns 

for opting not to travel to Madrid 

for the finals following the terrorist 

attacks. 

But with the opening round on 

American soil for the women’s 

version of Davis Cup tennis — 

the United States plays Austria 

beginning Saturday at the Olde 

Providence Racquet Club — the 

U.S. women are anxious to get the 

trophy back. 

‘‘It was unfortunate circumstances 

last year, but I think we 

made the right decision not to 

do,’’ said Lisa Raymond, who 

will team with Meghann 

Shaughnessy in doubles on 

Sunday. 

‘‘As a team, we’re all hungry 

to get the cup back and hopefully 

win another title.’’ 

The U.S. has played in every 

Fed Cup since 1963, winning it a 

record 17 times with eight runnerup 

finishes. Belgium won last 

year when the Americans pulled 

out. 

The United States is the top 

seed in the event and heavily 

favored to beat Austria. The winner 

plays the Czech Republic or 

Croatia in a second-round match 

July 20-21, and U.S. captain 

Billie Jean King said the women 

will be there. 

‘‘We were upset we didn’t go 

last year,’’ King said. ‘‘We are 

not a no-show kind of people. We 

show up, we play and we play 

hard. When we win, we will have 

to go in July and we will be there. 

‘‘There has been no discussion 

whatsoever of not going and getting 

the cup and bringing it back 

to the United States of America.’’ 

Play begins Saturday with 

Monica Seles, the No. 2 player on 

the U.S. team, facing Austria’s 

top player, Barbara Schwartz. 

Jennifer Capriati, the No. 2 player 

in the world, plays Evelyn Fauth, 

ranked No. 139 in the world, in 

the second match. 

On Sunday, Capriati plays 

Schwartz, Seles plays Fauth, and 

Raymond and Shaughnessy team 

to play Schwartz and Marion 

Maruska. 

Austria will be without 

Barbara Schett, its top player, 

who opted not to play in the Fed 

Cup to concentrate on getting 

ready for next month’s French 

Open. 

She’s been criticized for the 

decision because the Fed Cup 

matches in Charlotte will be 

played on clay and would have 

been a good French Open tuneup 

for Schett, who would have faced 

both Capriati and Seles. 

‘‘She said she had to play next 

week in Hamburg,’’ Austria captain 

Alfred Tesar said. ‘‘I’m not 

happy about this.’’ 

King did not comment directly 

on Schett’s absence, but said it 

was important for the top players 

to represent their countries each 

year. 

‘‘It is so important for our 

sport and for our country that the 

top players play because people 

want to see the best,’’ King said. 

‘‘Some players in other countries 

don’t want to participate. They’ve 

held up their federations for 

tremendous amounts of money to 

play, ridiculous amounts. 

‘‘They don’t understand that 

this is about hopefully having fun 

with teammates and playing for 

your country and relationships. 

Maybe later in life they’ll understand 

that winning matches is not 

the most important thing.’’

Blake posts $1 million bail for bodyguard 

charged with conspiring to kill actor’s wife 

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Robert 

Blake posted $1 million bail for bodyguard 

Earle Caldwell, who was jailed on 

a charge of conspiring to kill the 

‘‘Baretta’’ star’s wife, the actor’s lawyer 

said Friday. 

‘‘He’s an employee and a friend, and 

Robert felt responsible for him,’’ attorney 

Harland Braun said. 

Braun said Blake posted $1 million 

in cash rather than use a bail bondsman 

who would have been paid a fee. 

‘‘It was a business decision,’’ the 

attorney said, claiming that ‘‘California 

law requires an employer to stand 

behind an employee on any criminal 

charge arising from the employment.’’ 

He said Caldwell, 46, was released 

from the Los Angeles County men’s jail 

early Friday. Caldwell, whose legal 

defense is also being paid by Blake, was 

not available for immediate comment. 

Caldwell and Blake have pleaded 

innocent. 

Blake, 68, is charged with murder, 

conspiracy and solicitation to murder his 

wife, Bonny Lee Bakley, who was shot 

to death May 4, 2001. She was the

Blake remains jailed without bail 

pending trial. Prosecutors said Thursday 

they intend to seek a life prison term 

without parole if he is convicted. 

The charges filed earlier this week

President Bush shares 

barbecue with top donors 

CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) — President Bush called 

it a ‘‘friend-raiser.’’ Down the road from his ranch, the 

Republican Party gathered 250 top donors so Bush could 

thank them over barbecued ribs and potato salad. 

Bush delivered a ‘‘patriotic thank you’’ to the donors, 

said Kathey Hickey, asked by the Republican National 

Committee to be the host for the event at her family’s 

470-acre Broken Spoke Ranch. 

Just before his motorcade whisked him to the event, 

Bush said this was no ordinary fund-raiser. Bush has had 

18 of those, in which contributors committed to give 

money for candidates and the GOP. Party officials called 

Friday’s event a ‘‘maintenance’’ gathering for previous 

donors.

Dr. Gott Dr. Peter Gott 

DEAR DR. GOTT: I’m a 70-year-old great grandmother 

who had a hysterectomy for fibroids in 1975. 

Since then, I’ve been on hormone replacement therapy. 

I’ve repeatedly asked my doctor for a bone density 

test. But he refuses, saying the “hormones 

should keep your bones 

strong.” However, my mother and aunt 

had osteoporosis. Now, much to my 

surprise, my daughter, 50, has it, too. I 

have no other risk factors. Should I 

consult another physician or simply 

demand a bone density test? 

DEAR READER: While it’s true 

that your hormone therapy will lessen 

your chances of developing osteoporosis, I am 

impressed by your family history and wonder about the 

very real possibility that you, also, could have brittle 

bones. Consequently, I endorse your position. Get a 

bone density. 

We’re not talking about open heart surgery here. 

The bone density is a simple, safe, painless and inexpensive 

test. What could you possibly lose by having it 

done? More important, you have a great deal to gain by 

discovering early osteoporosis and treating it before 

complications, such as spinal compression fractures, 

appear. I don’t know why your doctor has dug in his 

heels. His reluctance seems to me to be more a macho 

concern than a bona fide health issue. Here’s what I 

would do: 

The next time you have an appointment, sit down 

with your practitioner and address the issue in the following 

non-judgmental manner: “Doctor, I respect your 

judgment. However, I am concerned about the possibility 

of osteoporosis. As you are aware, there is a family 

history of the affliction, and I need to know that my 

bones are sound. Therefore, I respectfully request that 

you lessen my anxiety and order a bone density test. 

Thank you.” Even the most churlish practitioner should 

DEAR ABBY: I have enjoyed 

reading about all the random acts of 

kindness in your column. I recall 

one from many years ago. 

I was a teen-aged recruit in the 

U.S. Army, stationed on a large 

rural sheep ranch near Pomona, 

Calif., prior to being sent overseas 

during World War II. We men slept 

in tents, ate from field kitchens, and 

washed, shaved and bathed out of 

our Army helmets. 

I read in the local newspaper that 

the Hollywood Canteen was throwing 

a big party and dance for the 

servicemen. Since I had that weekend 

off, I dressed in full uniform, 

jumped into an Army supply truck 

and headed for Pomona. From 

there, I hitchhiked to Los Angeles 

and the Hollywood Canteen. 

The party was a huge success. 

However, finding shelter for the 

evening was next to impossible at 

any price during the war years. 

After the gala event was over, I was 

dozing on a chair when I was awakened 

by a petite 

elderly lady who 

said she was the 

mother of the actor 

Cesar Romero, and 

if I hurried she 

would get me a 

place to sleep that 

night. An auto 

awaited, and with 

two other servicemen I was driven 

to Beverly Hills. A secretary greeted 

us at the residence and directed 

us up the huge spiral staircase and 

into one of the five bedrooms available. 

Abby, we were in the home of 

the movie actor and art collector 

Edward G. Robinson! He had 

turned over his home to the USO 

while he was in New York. 

respond to this approach. If not, he is a dope and needs 

a lesson in good doctoring; make a change to a physician 

who is more sympathetic to your needs — and 

more reasonably flexible. 

Another option: Many communities subscribe to 

wellness programs for older citizens. Such programs 

enable recipients to have certain tests done without their 

doctors’ specific approval. These tests include serum 

cholesterol determinations, carotid ultrasound exams, 

abdominal aortic aneurysm echograms and bone densities. 

While there is a modest charge for these services 

(which may or may not be covered by Medicare), they 

are well worth the price. 

In any case, I believe that your concerns are justified. 

Let me know the results of the testing. 

A NOTE TO READERS: For an updated and 

revised Health Report on “Losing Weight” (formerly 

“Winning the Battle of the Bulge”) that includes my No 

Flour, No Sugar diet send $2 and a long, self-addressed, 

stamped envelope to Newsletter, P.O. Box 167, 

Wickliffe, OH 44092-0167. Be sure to mention the title. 

Also, be on the lookout for more updated Health 

Reports. 

DEAR DR. GOTT: I am 87. For the past few 

years, my white blood cell count has been low (2,600). 

An oncologist found nothing wrong and urged me to 

have a repeat count every 6 months. What do you suggest? 

DEAR READER: The normal white blood cell 

count should be above 4,800. At times when it isn’t, 

doctors must consider serious bone marrow problems, 

hematological disorders — or lab error. In my experience, 

many older patients have low WBC counts; this is 

not a reason to worry, if the patients are otherwise 

healthy. 

I suggest that you have the WBC count repeated 

periodically. If it continues at a low level, a consultation 

with a hematologist would be in order. 

Dear Abby Pauline Phillips and Jeanne Phillips

I retired to a huge bed and had a

a knock on my door informed me 

that breakfast was ready — and 

what a breakfast it was! 

I left a thank-you note in Mr. 

Robinson’s study and soon was on

left him for a younger man 16 years 

ago. 

About a year after my fourth 

divorce, Mike contacted me and we 

met for lunch. We have been best 

friends ever since. He does not date 

— and sometimes I think he is still 

in love with me. However, I cannot 

get past what happened between us 

even though it was all my fault. 

Abby, do you think it is healthy 

to be so close to someone you were 

once married to? I don’t see how we 

could ever reconcile, but I love 

spending time with Mike and would 

hate to lose our closeness. — 

MARY IN ARIZONA 

DEAR MARY: I see nothing 

wrong with having a friendship with 

a former spouse as long as no one is 

hurt in the process. As for a reconciliation 

— never say “never.” 

Stranger things have happened.

Sunday, April 28, 2002 

An unexpected change 

could occur in the year ahead 

that might cause you to lose 

your footing for a bit, but turn 

out to be a blessing in disguise 

that opens up new vistas 

you’ve overlooked. 

TAURUS (April 20-May 

20) — Take a deep breath and 

resolve to let the day have its 

way, because it is likely that a 

lot of disruptive, unsettling and 

confusing factors will rule, and 

you need to remain calm. 

Taurus, treat yourself to a 

birthday gift. Send for your 

Astro-Graph predictions for 

the year ahead by mailing $2 

and SASE to Astro-Graph, c/o 

this newspaper, P.O. Box 

1758, Murray Hill Station, 

New York, NY 10156. Be sure 

to state your Zodiac sign. 

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) 

— Better clear the cobwebs 

out of your brain, or else you 

could end up the victim of 

your own erratic thinking. 

Haphazard procedures will 

create many complications. 

CANCER (June 21-July 

22) - If a scatter-brained friend 

of yours gets the upper hand, 

he or she will enmesh you in 

uncomfortable entanglements. 

Don’t allow yourself to be 

talked into doing something 

crazy. 

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — 

You must not let impulsive 

first thoughts end all other 

considerations, especially if 

there is something important 

that needs to be considered. 

Weigh every aspect. 

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) 

— Select patience rather than 

speed as your partner when 

taking on an important project. 

If you vow to make haste 

slowly, you can achieve the 

results you desire. 

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) 

— Be extra watchful when the 

control of joint issues is not 

directly under your supervision. 

Carelessness or indifference 

could turn out to be costly. 

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 

22) — Starting the day off by 

nitpicking over irrelevant matters 

could establish a pattern 

for the entire day of bickering 

and misunderstandings. Be a 

peacemaker, not a squabbler.

on Saturdays 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23- 

Dec. 21) — Toying around 

with gadgets and gizmos when 

you don’t know what you’re 

doing could foul things up for 

you. It might be a costly thing 

to do. 

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22- 

Jan. 19) — Have fun and enjoy 

yourself, but don’t get carried 

away and splurge on momentary 

gratification. Spender’s 

remorse is sure to set in later. 

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 

19) — Usually you have a firm 

hold on things you start, but 

you might leave a wake of 

loose threads hanging all over 

the place and weave yourself 

into a web. 

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 

20) — Optimism is one thing, 

but partaking in a wild idea 

that hasn’t got a prayer of 

working is just plain foolish, 

especially if it is reckless. 

ARIES (March 21-April 

19) — Watch out for a fire in 

your pocket caused by all the 

money trying to burn a few 

holes. It isn’t likely you will 

have too much of it left at the 

end of the day if you’re not 

diligent. 

Monday, April 29, 2002 

The overall theme of your 

life in the year ahead will be 

kindness coupled with action 

in all your undertakings. This 

will not go unappreciated and 

will yield you much happiness 

and success. 

TAURUS (April 20-May 

20) — Someone in high places 

likes you, as you’ll discover 

when the proof comes by way 

of some kind of monetary 

reward. It could be a raise, 

bonus or gift. Major changes 

are ahead for Taurus in the 

coming year. Send for your 

Astro-Graph predictions by 

mailing $2 and SASE to Astro- 

Graph, c/o this newspaper, 

P.O. Box 1758, Murray Hill 

Station, New York, NY 10156. 

Be sure to state your Zodiac 

sign. 

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) 

— Your ability to gain support 

for a cause you believe in 

comes naturally to you. Others 

will recognize the truth and 

worth of these issues because 

of your sincere presentation.

22) — The quiet way you present 

your worth to others 

speaks loud and clear to those 

who are looking for the right 

person to bring into a promising 

venture. 

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — 

Good things can happen for 

you when you find yourself in 

the presence of associates who 

think in progressive and 

aggressive terms. Try to hang 

out with these types. 

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) 

— Instead of merely paying lip 

service to your ambitious inclinations, 

take action to help 

bring them into being. Energy 

well directed will spark success. 

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) 

— The encouragement you so 

naturally give to others makes 

you a very popular person. 

Don’t be surprised if your 

presence is requested by more 

than one circle of friends. 

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 

22) — The time to step in and 

do your stuff is when you see 

others thwarted by something 

overwhelming. You’re wellequipped 

to make the necessary 

improvements for them. 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23- 

Dec. 21) — Knocking yourself 

out to be cooperative will be 

more appreciated by your mate 

than you think. This simple act 

will draw great love. 

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22- 

Jan. 19) — Performing beyond 

the call of duty at work can 

yield more than material 

rewards. Respect, honor and 

an elevation in position could 

be among the peripheral recompense. 

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 

19) — Make overtures to let 

someone important to you 

know how you feel. The time 

is ripe to forge new relationships 

of great worth. 

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 

20) — If you sense you’re on 

the right track of something 

that can make your life more 

secure, lock it down now while 

aspects favor you. 

ARIES (March 21-April 

19) — Instead of bogging you 

down, an overloaded schedule 

could cause you to perform 

more effectively than usual. 

It’ll spur you on.

Big farms cash in, White House loses in farm bill deal 

WASHINGTON (AP) — Lawmakers 

drove another nail into the government’s 

experiment with a market-oriented farm 

policy, and firmly rejected the Bush 

administration’s overhaul proposals, by 

agreeing on a six-year bill that boosts subsidies 

to grain and cotton growers. 

The 1996 Freedom to Farm law was 

supposed to wean farmers from government 

supports but never had its intended 

effect. Commodity prices collapsed in 

1998, and Congress responded with a 

series of annual bailouts to supplement 

regular subsidy programs. 

The White House last fall requested an 

overhaul of subsidies that would benefit 

Nuke plant 

workers are 

exposed to 

radioactive gas 

ATHENS, Ala. (AP) — 

Fifty-four workers were 

exposed to gas with low levels 

of radioactive contamination 

during an incident this week at 

the Browns Ferry Nuclear 

Plant, officials said. 

The gas escaped late 

Wednesday as workers were 

taking apart the Unit 2 reactor, 

plant spokesman Craig Beasley 

said. They returned to work the 

next day. 

Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission spokesman Ken 

Clark said the accident 

appeared minor. ‘‘We do not 

expect any of the workers who 

were exposed to have any 

adverse health effects,’’ he 

said. 

Beasley said none of the 

radioactive gas left the building 

surrounding the reactor. 

With the top of the reactor 

already removed, the gas 

escaped as the workers took 

off another part, he said. 

Phillip 

Alder 

Bridge 

The sixth look at the third 

In the deck, a king outranks 

a queen, but in this deal, a 

queen defeats a king — sort of. 

For our last look at third-hand 

play this week, you are East, 

defending against three notrump. 

How would you plan 

the defense after West leads a 

fourth-highest spade four? 

Although five diamonds 

will make here, if North 

always heads for a minor-suit 

game with that type of hand, 

he will be a big loser in the 

long run. 

There are three reasons why 

experts play better than the rest 

of us: They count more, and 

they count more, and they 

count more. (The book that 

most improved my game, 

“Killing Defence at Bridge” 

(Houghton Miflin, 1994) by 

Hugh Kelsey, has “count” or 

“counting” in five of the 12 

chapter titles.) And in my 

view, even more important 

than tracking trumps is tallying 

high-card points. (Obviously, 

if you wish to be an expert, 

you must count both.) 

Here, you, East, have nine 

points, dummy contains 14, 

and declarer holds 15-17. This 

means your partner, West, 

clutches a miserable 0-2 

points. So, West cannot have 

the spade king. If you win trick 

one with the spade ace and 

continue with the spade queen, 

declarer will calmly duck. 

South will win the third spade, 

take the diamond finesse, and 

collect an overtrick. 

Instead, play the spade 

queen at trick one. Declarer 

can hardly duck; he may 

instantly lose five spade tricks, 

or four fast spades and a later 

diamond. But if South does 

win trick one, he can no longer 

make the contract. When you 

win with the diamond king, 

you continue with the ace and 

another spade to defeat the 

contract. 

more farmers while discouraging excess 

production of surplus crops. 

Under an agreement made final by 

congressional negotiators Friday, the new 

bill would boost agriculture spending by 

70 percent, raising subsidy rates and 

adding new programs. Included in the 

deal is an 80 percent increase in spending 

on land-conservation programs as well as 

new subsidies for bioenergy and rural 

development. 

‘‘I don’t think there’s a chance in the 

world the president won’t sign this,’’ 

Mary Kay Thatcher, a lobbyist for the 

American Farm Bureau Federation, said 

Friday. ‘‘It’s a reasonable farm bill.’’ 

WASHINGTON (AP) — 

The Defense Department says 

an additional 829 military personnel 

may have been exposed 

to deadly gases when an Iraqi 

chemical weapons depot was 

destroyed during the Gulf War. 

Dr. Michael Kilpatrick, 

chief of staff for the Office of 

the Special Assistant for Gulf 

War Illnesses, Medical 

Readiness and Military 

Deployments, said the number 

was increased after veterans 

contacted Pentagon officials to 

tell them their locations when 

the depot exploded. 

The increase brings the 

total of possible exposures to 

101,752. Military officials 

have steadfastly said the level 

of exposure was not hazardous. 

The Khamisiyah weapons 

depot was destroyed March 4 

and 10, 1991. It was discovered 

later that the depot and a 

nearby pit contained hundreds 

of weapons filled with lethal 

sarin, cyclosarin and mustard 

gases. 

The Pentagon created a 

computer model of the vapor 

cloud in 1997 and sent letters 

to troops who might have been 

exposed. Three years later, the 

Pentagon revised the computer 

model using new weather data 

and troop information. The 

new model showed a different 

track for the vapor cloud, and 

some different troop exposures. 

For years the Pentagon discounted 

claims that mysterious 

illnesses cited by Gulf War 

The White House fought against 

increasing crop subsidy rates and pushed 

for creation of a Canadian-style system of 

subsidized savings accounts to help farmers 

manage swings in their income. 

Lawmakers turned down both ideas. 

Virtually the only victory for the White 

House came on an election-year proposal 

to restore food stamps to noncitizens who 

have lived in the country for five years, an 

idea to appeal to Hispanic voters. 

‘‘The administration basically didn’t 

get anything they wanted,’’ said Bruce 

Babcock, director of the Center for 

Agricultural and Rural Development at 

Iowa State University. 

Gulf War Illness 

Pentagon says more Gulf War troops 

were possibly exposed to nerve gas 

veterans could be tied to toxic 

exposures. Last December, 

though, a Pentagon-supported 

report by the Rand Corp.’s 

National Defense Research 

Institute raised the possibility 

some undiagnosed illnesses 

could be explained by exposure 

to low levels of Iraqi 

nerve gas. 

A Veterans Affairs analysis 

released in February showed 

that the soldiers the Pentagon 

had removed from its initial 

list of exposures at 

Khamisiyah had a much higher 

death rate than those on the 

current list. VA Director 

Anthony Principi ordered further 

study. No findings have 

been released yet.

(AP) — A group of scientists 

rode snowmobiles more than 

700 miles across Alaska to 

better understand how snow 

interacts with the atmosphere, 

and perhaps find clues to 

global warming. 

Every few miles, members 

of the SnowSTAR 2002 

expedition hopped off their 

snowmobiles, started digging 

snow pits and conducting 

experiments. By trek’s end 

late Thursday, the six-member 

team had dug about 400 

pits between Nome, a coastal 

city in west Alaska, and 

Barrow, the northernmost 

city in North America. 

SnowSTAR 2002 set out 

March 22 from Nome towing 

scientific and survival gear in 

nine sleds. The expedition 

headed northeast, stopping at 

several villages before crossing 

the Brooks Range, which 

separates subarctic Alaska 

from the arctic. 

At each stop, shallow 

snow pits were dug, snow 

layers counted and samples 

taken to test the snow for levels 

of calcium, magnesium 

and various isotopes. The 

snow also was examined for 

grain size, water content, 

strength and translucency.

Bait Operation 


Managing Editor 

RANCHESTER — Feeding the livestock 

at Art Nordstrom’s place takes a 

different turn from most Wyoming stock 

operations. 

Alfalfa’s part of the diet, but it’s 

ground up and put in a trench every few 

days to feed more than 3,000 head — in a 

4-by-8-foot space at Tongue River Bait. 

Nordstrom and 

General Sales Manager 

Randy Kouf opened the 

bait shop April 1. 

The shop offers the 

usual bait menu, but the 

worms — varieties for 

fishing and varieties for 

gardeners — are what 

Nordstrom will talk 

about with the most 

enthusiasm. 

Nordstrom has 

wanted to start a bait 

shop for more than 20 

years. 

“I was always too 

busy working construction, 

and never was situated 

in one place long 

enough,” he said. 

“Randy and I have been 

talking about it. Now 

that I’ve kinda retired, 

everything fell into 

place.” 

He said there was a 

lack of adequate information 

when his interest 

was first hooked. 

“Now, information is plentiful,” he 

said, “about worms in particular.” 

“I’ve always been interested in it — 

how they multiply, how they survive. It’s 

interesting. You take a night crawler, 

he’ll go down to 10 feet and live up to 10 

years in the right environment.” 

Kouf says the area has a “huge 

demand for quality bait” and shares his 

enthusiasm about the worms. 

He said they have avoided the 

Canadian variety of night crawlers. “All

our night crawlers come from a supplier 

here in the United States,” Kouf said. 

But a new breed has come to town — 

from Belgium. 

“I’m excited about the new night 

crawler,” said Kouf. “(It’s) a leatherback. 

It’s so tough. For fishermen tired of feeding 

the fish, get these and start catching 

fish.” 

The Belgium worm is not as big as its 

U.S. counterpart, said Nordstrom. 

It, along with the red worms the shop 

offers, can be used by 

gardeners. 

“You can use 

red worms and the 

Euros, too,” he said. 

“They are good tillers 

and a smaller worm. 

The night crawlers go 

deep. The Euro and red 

worm work the top two 

feet of soil.” 

Kouf says 

interest in obtaining 

worms for gardens and 

flower beds has risen 

the last few years. 

“They have 

become really interested 

in being able to keep 

something in the garden,” 

he said. “Worms 

not only compost the 

material in the garden, 

but also aerate it so 

they don’t have to till. 

“These worms 

do both. Everything the 

worms eat is nutrientrich. 

They are fantastic 

for the garden.” 

Nordstrom gets his worms from an 

Indiana worm farm and tucks them into 

beds at his shop. 

The bed is 4 by 8 feet and about 8 

inches high. One variety of peat moss is 

ground and mixed with another variety 

and put in the bed. Moisture is monitored. 

“We can put in 3,000 to 4,000 

worms,” said Nordstrom. “We feed alfalfa 

meal and worm feed and mix it with 

water and pour it into a trench. We do 

that every three to four days.” 

Nordstrom said if 1,000 worms are put

months. 

Bydlon offers free testing of the 

children to diagnose what may be 

preventing learning. 

“Why aren’t they learning?” is 

the question the program seeks to 

answer, Bydlon said. 

According to PACE information, 

the screening evaluates attention, 

short-term memory, longterm-memory 

retrieval, processing 

speed, sound blending and visual 

and auditory processing. 

A training program is then 

developed. 

“We want fast, big results,” he 

said. “Those are the tools that need 

to be developed to make learning 

easier and faster.” 

Parents are included in the process, 

he said.

Randy Kouf offer Euro worms as an 

alternative to a night crawler. They say 

the Euro, from Belgium, is a tougher 

and smaller worm than the standard 

night crawler (right). They also offer 

redworms and the Euro for gardeners. 

in a bed, they’ll double in 30 days. 

Gardeners can loosen the topsoil, place the 

worms on the soil and cover them with leaves 

or compost, and they’ll work themselves into 

the soil. 

“Their castings are the most fertile thing 

for an hour, but we expect the parents 

to do some additional work 

with (the children) at home,” he 

said. 

“We show them 

what to do. We want 

those results, and 

that takes extra time. 

Because this is nonacademic, 

it tends to 

build relationships in 

the family.” 

Bydlon was a 

special education 

teacher for 11 years, has a master’s 

degree in special education, and is 

certified as an educational diagnostician. 

“In my tutoring, I thought I had 

powerful programs,” he said. “But

something much more intensive 

and get fast results. This answered 

that beautifully.” 

The motivator for 

parents to help their 

children may be 

pain, he said. 

“It reaches a point 

where the pain outweighs 

everything. 

‘What kind of future 

does my child 

have?’ 

“They may be 

struggling in school, maybe they 

are struggling in elementary 

school, or a student may be older 

and has encounters with the law. 

Sadly, pain is a motivator.” 

The program has been used in 

many walks of life, according to 

Bydlon.

“This program would benefit 

everybody,” he said. “They have

Portland Trail Blazers have used 

it. It has been used by students 

who want to improve their ACT
