Scene THE SHERIDAN Press Saturday, 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. Embryonic stem cells are the basic building blocks of the body.

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.’’ SHERIDAN AND VICINITY — Today, 1 to 2 inches of snow, diminishing to scattered showers in late afternoon; high around 40.

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 and sophomores) at the Wyoming State Math Contest April 16 at Sheridan College. 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 score of 835; Blaine Ziegler (770); and Chris Schultz (565). Individual high scorers in Class A were Rachel Knudson of SHS (580); Dan Kunkel from Big Horn High School (560); and Russell Robison from SHS (545). CHEYENNE (AP) — A man who shot at a robbery suspect fleeing from a convenience store in January has been charged with one count of assault with a deadly weapon. James McNeil, 24, of Cheyenne, is also charged with one count of reckless endangering and one count of carrying a concealed weapon without a permit. McNeil posted a $3,000 bond and was released on his own recognizance Wednesday in Laramie County Circuit Court. Laramie County Circuit Judge Denise Nau set a preliminary hearing for 2:30 p.m. May 3 in Circuit Court. The assault charge, which is a felony, carries up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Reckless endangering is a misdemeanor with a possible penalty of up to a year and/or a $750 fine. Carrying a concealed weapon without a permit is a misdemeanor punishable by up to CHEYENNE (AP) — Sen. Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., has written to Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman supporting Gov. Jim Geringer’s request that Wyoming be declared a drought disaster area. On April 17, Geringer asked for the designation so farmers and ranchers may qualify for low-interest loans and possibly tax deferrals to cope with a third straight year of drought. It was the first time he has asked for a statewide designation. Enzi wrote that the latest report from the U.S. Drought Monitor indicated most of Wyoming is gripped in extreme drought. ‘‘This year is no better than the previous years,’’ he wrote. ‘‘Though spring is typically a season of hope More than 300 junior and senior high school students from throughout the region competed in the contest. Regional Class A and Class B winners will receive a full-ride renewable scholarship package for Sheridan College, which includes room, board, tuition and fees. Test scores from the competition determined the regional winners; regional scores from competitions throughout the state will be compiled to determine overall winners.

McNeil turned himself in Wednesday at the Laramie County Sheriff’s Department. He was accompanied by Leonard Munker, a Cheyenne lawyer who had spoken on McNeil’s behalf shortly after the incident happened. McNeil refused to comment. Munker has said that McNeil’s actions were based on trying to help and defend people and to stop the robbers. He also said McNeil felt threatened in the situation. In court papers files Wednesday, Laramie County District Attorney Jon Forwood said the would-be robber was not armed when he left the convenience store, and that someone else inside the store already foiled the robbery by the time McNeil got involved. McNeil had stopped at the convenience store to buy milk on his 8 April 27, 2002 Enzi supports Wyo. drought declaration and wet snows in Wyoming, Jan Curtis, Wyoming Climatologist, indicated that a snowpack of 150 percent of normal would be required to end the cumulative effects of three drought years. ‘‘Currently, snowpack is averaging less than 70 percent of normal. The snowpack this year is clearly not enough to even mitigate the drought.’’ Enzi told Veneman that producers who sold or reduced herds in the first year of the drought have been unable to buy replacements. Even more are being forced to sell their livestock due to the ‘‘prohibitively expensive’’ price of hay and their ejections from drought-stricken public grazing lands. ‘‘Your decision to declare Wyoming a Natural Disaster Area will greatly help my state respond to these disastrous conditions,’’ Enzi concluded. ‘‘I would therefore request that you expeditiously consider Governor Geringer’s request and provide this designation to the State of Wyoming as soon as possible.’’ Sheridan High School math students top regional meet trophies for their schools. Central Middle School placed seventh in the top 10 of the seventhgrade contest. Individual winners were: Jennifer Rogers (500); Ashley Westwang (435); and Leslie Hitchcock (400). The top three all attend Central Middle School. The eighth-grade contest results put students from three different schools in the top three places. Individual winners were: Shelley Forbes, representing Sheridan Junior High School (650); Jackie Weitenhiller from Big Horn Middle School (575); and Salvatore Brown from Holy Name School (530). Robber Shot Man charged with shooting at fleeing robbery suspect way home from work about 4:30 a.m. on Jan. 26 when he saw an attempted robbery, according to court papers. Leamon Jefferson, 27, tried to rob the Mini Mart with a hammer, prosecutors said in a court document. Ben Griffith, who was in the store at the time, jumped Jefferson from behind as Jefferson tried to get money and foiled the robbery, Forwood said. Jefferson dropped the hammer and ran out the door, and Griffith followed, Forwood said. ’’The videotape clearly shows Jefferson was unarmed,’’ Forwood said. Griffith ran outside and noticed McNeil in the parking lot holding his handgun in a ’’port-arms position’’ and yelling at Jefferson to stop, Forwood said. Jefferson ran, and witnesses said McNeil ran after Jefferson and fired three times and missed. Call 672-2431 to place a classified ad.

Sports B1 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. The Sheridan Press/Christopher Pfuhl 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. `By Patrick J. Murphy Sports Editor 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. Rundown SHS senior marks best throw CASPER — Sheridan High School senior Kaylyn Doyle placed first in the shot put at the Wyoming Track Classic Friday. The meet features the top performers in the state regardless of their high school’s classification. Doyle’s mark of 46-9.75 was a season best in taking first place, and is the best overall mark ever by a female thrower on the high school level. “It was a very solid effort, and I think Kaylyn and the coaching staff are still looking for more great throws, but we are excited about the Kaylyn Doyle progress we are making so far,” Sheridan head track and field coach Art Baures said. Doyle placed second in the discus with a mark of 130-3. Bronc senior Austin Hall placed second in the shot put at 55 feet, a half-inch from tying for first place. Hall placed sixth in the discus at 145-9. TR tracksters run in Gillette GILLETTE — Tongue River tracksters ran in the Wright High School Panther Twilight meet Friday at Campbell County High School Stadium. “I was just real pleased. It’s been two weeks since we had a track meet,” said TR head coach Chuck Walters. “I was just happy with our times.” Walter said the coaching staff named Becca Reich the team’s “athlete of the week.” The Eagles place third with 83.5 points out of 10 teams, and the Lady Eagles finished sixth with 49 points. Upton won the boys’ team race with 121 points, and Gillette’s junior varsity topped the girls’ field with 107 points. Here are TR placers from the meet. Boys 100 — 6. Chris Horn, 11.92. 200 — 5.

(AP) — Rain forced NASCAR to cancel qualifying Friday for the Auto Club 300 Busch Series race at California Speedway. The 43-car lineup for Saturday’s race was determined by season points, with series leader Jack Sprague starting from the pole, alongside runner-up Jason Keller. Two-time Busch Series champion Randy LaJoie and Kenny Wallace will start from the second row, followed by rookie Scott Riggs, Greg Biffle, Bobby Hamilton Jr. and Stacy Compton. 49er Owens to play hoops SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — While the San Francisco 49ers hold their breath, Terrell Owens is getting ready to pursue his hoop dreams. Next weekend, the 49ers’ All- Pro receiver will begin his pro basketball career with the USBL’s Adirondack Wildcats. As a heavily muscled 6-foot-3 shooting guard, Owens will risk injury and his football salary — upwards of $4 million — while donating most of his paltry basketball salary to charity.
