Seat belt<br />
law awaits<br />
House vote<br />
By Josh Mitchell<br />
Staff reporter<br />
A bill that would allow lawenforcement<br />
officers to pull over<br />
motorists for not wearing a seat belt<br />
has passed the Legislature’s<br />
Transportation Committee and will<br />
be voted on by the full House this<br />
week, said the bill’s sponsor, Rep.<br />
Jerry Iekel, R-<strong>Sheridan</strong>.<br />
Current law states that motorists<br />
and passengers can be cited for not<br />
wearing a seat belt only if they are<br />
stopped for<br />
another<br />
offense.<br />
If the bill<br />
passes, a<br />
law-enforcement<br />
officer<br />
could look<br />
into a<br />
motorist’s<br />

<strong>Sheridan</strong> Police Detective Sgt.<br />
Tom Ringley said the bill promotes<br />
public safety.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> police department’s stance is<br />
that any change to the statutes that<br />
will increase the safety of the community<br />
is a positive step,” he said.<br />
Iekel said the bill has failed<br />
approximately three times in the past.<br />
It is a proven fact that seat belts<br />
save lives, Iekel said. Other states<br />
that have passed the law have seen a<br />
10-15 percent decrease in the number<br />
of fatalities from auto accidents the<br />
following year, he said.<br />
Seat belts stop people from being<br />
ejected from vehicles, Iekel said.<br />
In 2006 there were 195 auto fatalities<br />
in Wyoming, and 128 of those<br />
involved people not wearing a seat<br />
belt, Iekel said.<br />
“That and alcohol are the two<br />
biggest factors that have to do with<br />
fatalities,” he said.<br />
Iekel said the penalty for not<br />
wearing a seat belt would stay the<br />
same under his bill: $25 for a driver<br />
and $10 for a passenger.<br />
Iekel said the bill has “broad support”<br />
including from the Highway<br />
Patrol.<br />
Dad: Cheyenne<br />
Central grad one<br />
of five killed<br />
in Baghdad crash<br />
CHEYENNE (AP) — A<br />
Cheyenne Central High School<br />
graduate was one of five employees<br />
of Blackwater USA, a private security<br />
firm, who died last week when<br />
their helicopter crashed in Baghdad,<br />
his father said.<br />
Shane Stanfield, 25, a former<br />
Marine, died last Tuesday in the<br />
crash, said his father, Mike<br />
Stanfield.<br />
‘‘He was our hero,’’ Stanfield<br />
said. ‘‘When he committed himself<br />
to something, he was 100 percent<br />
into whatever it was — and good at<br />
it.’’ Mike Stanfield said he’d been in<br />
close contact with officials at<br />
Moyock, N.C-based Blackwater,<br />
but that there were few details yet<br />
about his son’s death.<br />
It’s unclear whether ground fire<br />
from insurgents brought down the<br />
helicopter, which was on its way to<br />
help a U.S. Embassy ground convoy<br />
that had come under fire.<br />

Bucks for Ducks<br />
By Peggy O’Neill<br />
Staff reporter<br />
Guns, fine art and minnows were in no<br />
short supply, but ducks numbered only two<br />
at Saturday night’s Ducks Unlimited<br />
Banquet at the Holiday Inn.<br />
More than 330 people milled about<br />
tables of silent auction and bucket raffle<br />
items before sitting down to a chicken and<br />
prime rib dinner.<br />
<strong>The</strong> two ducks on hand sat down to<br />
something entirely different, as kids and<br />
adults placed bets on what number on a<br />
round board either duck would “squat” first.<br />
<strong>The</strong>n it was time for the serious business<br />
of the live auction and announcements of<br />
the winners of the 20 rifles and shotguns on<br />
hand.<br />
Prints, watercolors, wood-carved decoys<br />
and bronze sculptures were paraded through<br />
the banquet hall as participants bravely held<br />
up their hands to bid.<br />
An etching by the late, great Dayton<br />
artist Hans Kleiber drew the highest bid of<br />
the night at $1,100.<br />
According to chapter Chairman Jeff<br />
Holsinger, the group hopes to at least match<br />
last year’s net proceeds of $33,000.<br />
“We haven’t gotten the numbers yet,”<br />
Holsinger said this morning, “but our goal<br />
is to do about the same.”<br />
About 90 percent of the funds raised go<br />
directly to DU projects, Holsinger said.<br />
Those projects include habitat improvement<br />

Gates eyes ways to minimize practice<br />
of keeping troops beyond enlistment<br />
WASHINGTON (AP) — In an action<br />
branded a backdoor draft by some critics,<br />
the military over the past several years has<br />
held tens of thousand of soldiers, sailors, airmen<br />
and Marines on the job and in war<br />
zones beyond their retirement dates or<br />
enlistment length.<br />
It is a widely disliked practice that the<br />
Pentagon, under new Defense Secretary<br />
Robert Gates, is trying to figure out how to<br />
cut back on.<br />
Gates has ordered that the practice —<br />
known as ‘‘stop loss’’ — must ‘‘be minimized.’’<br />
At the same time, he is looking for<br />
ways to decrease the hardship for troops and<br />
their families, recruit more people for a larger<br />
military and reassess how the active duty<br />
and reserves are used.<br />
‘‘It’s long overdue,’’ said Jules Lobel, vice president<br />
of the Center for Constitutional Rights and lawyer<br />
for some in the military who have challenged the policy<br />
in court.<br />
‘‘It has created terrible problems of morale,’’ Lobel<br />
said last week. ‘‘It has in some cases made soldiers feel<br />
that they were duped or deceived in how they were<br />
recruited.’’<br />

wants to be ‘advocate for low-income families’<br />
ing child care and food stamps through<br />
DFS gives her a unique perspective,<br />
she said.<br />
As a member of the council, she<br />
said she will be an “advocate for lowincome<br />
families.”<br />
She said she got the appointment<br />
after she wrote a letter to the editor of<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Sheridan</strong> <strong>Press</strong> about child care.<br />
Rodger McDaniel, who was DFS<br />
Gates has asked the chief of each service<br />
branch for a plan by the end of<br />
February on how they would rely less on<br />
stop loss.<br />
<strong>The</strong> authority has been used off and<br />
on for years and was revived by all services<br />
to some extent after the attacks of Sept. 11,<br />
20<strong>01</strong>.<br />
As an example, the Army revived it<br />
in early 2002 to keep people with some<br />
skills or specialties deemed critical to the<br />
fight against terrorism and later used it to<br />
retain whole units, according to an Army<br />
chronology of the policy.<br />
Pentagon officials provided no figures<br />
on how many people the policy has<br />
affected. Yet just in the Army, it is in the<br />
tens of thousands.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Army Times newspaper reported in September<br />
that 10,000 soldiers were being held in the service at<br />
the time. That compared with 25,000 at one point in<br />
2003, according to the account.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Navy stopped a few hundred sailors from leaving<br />
in the year after the terrorist attacks and used the<br />
policy again after the U.S.-led invasion of Iraqin 2003.<br />

director at the time, saw the letter, contacted<br />
Chipman and asked her if she<br />
would like to be on the advisory council,<br />
she said.<br />
“I want to thank the governor and<br />
Mr. McDaniel for the appointment,”<br />
she said.<br />
Chipman, a full-time student at<br />
<strong>Sheridan</strong> College, said she wants to get<br />
her doctorate in elementary education.<br />
and restoration, purchasing land for duck<br />
habitat, and doing whatever possible to<br />
increase nesting grounds for ducks.<br />
“It’s interesting,” Holsinger said. “It’s<br />
not a bunch of tree-huggers. It’s hunters out<br />
there protecting the resource.”<br />
In addition to the hunter contingency,<br />
the local chapter has members who simply<br />
enjoy ducks and the conservation mission of<br />
Ducks Unlimited, Holsinger said.<br />
Another project that banquet funds cover<br />
is the annual Greenwing outdoor event for<br />
kids 17 and under. <strong>The</strong> centerpiece for each<br />
table at the banquet was a wood duck nesting<br />
box, built by kids at last year’s<br />
Greenwing event.<br />

— <strong>The</strong> Wyoming<br />
Game and Fish<br />
Department could use<br />
aerial hunting methods<br />
and grant lethal take<br />
permits for private<br />
landowners to manage<br />
wolf populations<br />
threatening their property,<br />
under a proposal<br />
before a House committee<br />
<strong>Monday</strong>.<br />
Wyoming Game<br />
and Fish Department<br />
Director Terry<br />
Cleveland presented a<br />
bill to the House<br />
Travel Committee that outlined<br />
the aggressive wolf management<br />
tactics, and called for the use of<br />
GPS monitoring devices on gray<br />
wolves. Travel Committee<br />
Chairman Rep. Pat Childers, R-<br />
Cody, sponsored the bill, which<br />
would cost the state an estimated<br />
$2.4 million.<br />
‘‘It’s gonna take a significant<br />
amount of time and resources to<br />
monitor, to track, and in some cases<br />
to do conflict resolution with<br />
these wolves,’’ Cleveland said.<br />
Cleveland added that he<br />
thought the use of aerial hunting<br />
was absolutely necessary to guarantee<br />
effective wolf management.<br />
‘‘<strong>The</strong> only tool that we have today<br />
to control wolf populations that<br />
they didn’t have 100 years ago is<br />
aircraft,’’ Cleveland said.<br />

Lottery?<br />
• House panel<br />
considering bill<br />
on Wednesday<br />
By Josh Mitchell<br />
Staff reporter<br />
A bill in the Wyoming Legislature that<br />
would bring lottery to the state will be considered<br />
in a House committee Wednesday.<br />
If the bill passes the Travel, Recreation,<br />
Wildlife and Cultural Resources<br />
Committee, it will go to the full House for<br />
a vote.<br />
Rep. Jerry Iekel, R-<strong>Sheridan</strong>, who<br />
serves on the committee,<br />
said he will<br />
not support the lottery.<br />
Under the bill,<br />
lottery proceeds<br />
would benefit the<br />
Game and Fish<br />
Department with 1<br />
percent going to a<br />
fund to help problem<br />
gamblers, said<br />
Rep. Pat Childers,<br />
R-Cody, chairman<br />
of the committee.<br />
Childers supports<br />
the lottery and says<br />
Jerry Iekel<br />
Representative<br />
R-<strong>Sheridan</strong><br />
he plays himself. As far as those who<br />
morally oppose gambling, Childers said,<br />
“You can’t legislate morality.”<br />
Moreover, he said he supports the bill<br />
because a poll conducted by the Wyoming<br />
Tribune-Eagle newspaper in Cheyenne<br />
shows that 51 percent support the lottery in<br />
Wyoming, while 37 percent are opposed<br />
and 12 percent are undecided.<br />
He said if the majority of people want<br />
it, then they should be allowed to have it.<br />
He noted that Montana, Nebraska and<br />
Colorado have lotteries, and Wyoming residents<br />
drive to those states to play.<br />
Iekel said he is a therapist and has treated<br />
people with gambling addiction and<br />
seen the “ruination” in people’s lives.<br />
His reason for not supporting the lottery<br />
is not “moralistic” but has to do with the<br />
negative socio-economic impact that gambling<br />
can bring to people’s lives, he said.<br />
As far as providing funding for the<br />
Game and Fish Department, Iekel said the<br />
state can fund the department with the state<br />
surplus.<br />

were scheduled to<br />
announce the removal<br />
of gray wolves in the<br />
Great Lakes region<br />
and the northern<br />
Rockies from the<br />

Representatives<br />
from sportsmen<br />
groups said they currently<br />
support the<br />
House bill, but<br />
reserved the right to<br />
withdraw support if it<br />
changes during the legislative process.<br />
‘‘<strong>The</strong> one thing that the bill is<br />
lacking is the ability to protect the<br />
wildlife that the sportsmen of this<br />
state place a high value on,’’ said<br />
Bob Wharf, representative of<br />
Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife.<br />
Some residents told the House<br />
Committee they opposed the bill<br />
and wished the measure went<br />
even further.<br />
Jim Magagna, executive vice<br />
president for the Wyoming Stock<br />
Growers Association, said he was<br />
glad the measure included language<br />
that would allow private<br />
landowners to kill wolves who<br />
were harming their private<br />
property.<br />

Abortion, same-sex marriage bills coming this week<br />
CHEYENNE (AP) — Two of the most emotional<br />
issues in politics are set to hit the Wyoming Legislature<br />
this week: abortion rights and same-sex marriage.<br />
<strong>The</strong> House Judiciary Committee on Thursday narrowly<br />
endorsed a bill titled, ‘‘Women’s right to know.’’<br />
It would require doctors who perform abortions in the<br />
state to inform their patients beforehand of alternatives<br />
and warn them of potential risks and side effects.<br />
Supporters of the measure say they want to protect<br />
women from physical and psychological problems they<br />
say have been associated with abortion. But abortion<br />
rights groups say they view the bill as part of an effort<br />
to ban the procedure in the state.<br />
<strong>The</strong> bill will likely be debated on the House floor<br />
some time this week, House Speaker Roy Cohee, R-<br />
Casper, said Friday.<br />
Meanwhile, the Senate Judiciary Committee on<br />
Friday endorsed a bill that would specify Wyoming<br />
won’t recognize same-sex marriages performed in other<br />
states.<br />
Senate President John Schiffer, R-Kaycee, said<br />
Friday he expects debate on the marriage bill will be<br />
lively. ‘‘It will be controversial, that’s a controversial<br />
bill,’’ he said.<br />
Both the abortion and same-sex marriage issues<br />
promise to draw lobbyists and concerned citizens to the<br />
Capitol.<br />
Rep. Bob Brechtel, R-Casper, sponsor of the abortion<br />
bill, said he’s not trying to erode abortion rights.<br />
‘‘My only intention is to help them avoid injury and<br />

long-term regrets. It has nothing to do with<br />
stopping abortion,’’ he said.<br />
John Birbari, of Lander, who is president<br />
of the Wyoming Family Coalition, said his<br />
group strongly supports Brechtel’s legislation.<br />
‘‘Anytime you undergo a surgical procedure,<br />
there should be full disclosure about<br />
what the risks are and what you can expect,’’<br />
Birbari said. ‘‘That’s true with just about<br />
every surgical procedure, except for abortion.<br />
‘‘We know for a fact that women who<br />
have had abortions have not been fully<br />
informed about the risks, both surgical and<br />
psychological,’’ Birbari said. ‘‘And this bill<br />
will give them the information they need to<br />
make an informed decision.’’<br />
Sharon Breitweiser, executive director of NARAL<br />
Pro-Choice Wyoming, an abortion-rights group headquartered<br />
in Laramie, said her group intends to rally<br />
members to fight Brechtel’s bill.<br />
‘‘We’re stunned that the majority of the House<br />
Judiciary Committee ignored the testimony of doctors,<br />
lawyers, health care professionals and reproductive<br />
rights advocates,’’ Breitweiser said Friday.<br />
‘‘We believe that it’s not the government’s business,’’<br />
she said. ‘‘<strong>The</strong> majority of people in this state do<br />
not want government intrusion into their personal lives,<br />
and the proponents of this bill are the same people who<br />
want to outlaw abortion.’’<br />

Whatever the motivation behind the<br />
abortion legislation, Cohee said it promises<br />
to take a lot of time in the House this week.<br />
‘‘<strong>The</strong> problem with a bill like that is<br />
we have, right now, some 50, 60 bills on<br />
general file,’’ Cohee said. ‘‘And discussion<br />
of a bill like that can consume massive<br />
amounts of time. It eliminates the opportunity<br />
to hear the bills that have been brought<br />
forth in the Legislature by many other people.<br />
We can spend time on one bill or we<br />
can spend time on consideration of 10 or 12<br />
more.’’<br />
Sen. Gerald Geis, R-Worland, sponsored<br />
the same-sex marriage bill.<br />
‘‘<strong>The</strong> bill simply says we would not<br />
have to honor same-sex marriages in Wyoming that<br />
were authorized in some other state,’’ Geis told the<br />
Senate Judiciary Committee on Friday.<br />
Massachusetts is the only state that currently grants<br />
marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Several other<br />
states recognize same-sex civil unions.<br />
Birbari of the Wyoming Family Coalition said his<br />
group also supports Geis’ bill.<br />
‘‘<strong>The</strong> social mores of Massachusetts aren’t the same<br />
as ours,’’ Birbari said. ‘‘We’re pretty conservative folks<br />
out here. We believe that marriage is defined in the<br />
Bible as between a man and a woman, and we believe it<br />
ought to stay that way.’’<br />
Government: Defending nuclear plants<br />
from airliner attack considered impractical<br />
WASHINGTON (AP)— <strong>The</strong> Nuclear<br />
Regulatory Commission concluded <strong>Monday</strong> that<br />
it is impractical for nuclear power plant operators<br />
to try to stop terrorists from crashing an airliner<br />
into a reactor.<br />
Plant operators instead should focus on limiting<br />
radioactive release from any such airborne<br />
attack, the agency said in a revised defense plan<br />
for America’s nuclear plants.<br />
<strong>The</strong> agency approved the new defense plan,<br />
most of which is secret, by a 5-0 vote at a brief<br />
hearing in which it was not discussed in any<br />
detail.<br />
<strong>The</strong> new plan spells out what the operators of<br />
the nation’s commercial nuclear power plants<br />
must be capable of defending against. It assumes<br />
that a terrorist attack force would be relatively<br />
small — and that its weapons would be limited.<br />
Critics of the NRC have said the revisions,<br />
which have been in the works for more than a<br />
year, do not fully take into account the threats to<br />
nuclear reactors in light of the Sept. 11, 20<strong>01</strong> terrorist<br />
attacks.<br />
‘‘Rather than requiring measures to prevent a<br />
plane crash from damaging vulnerable parts of a<br />
nuclear plant ... the government is relying on<br />
post-crash measures and evacuation plans,’’ said<br />
Michele Boyd of Public Citizen’s Energy<br />
Program, a nuclear industry watchdog group.<br />
Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., in a letter to the<br />
NRC last Friday, said the agency’s defense<br />
requirements should ‘‘ensure that ... the plants<br />
are prepared to defend against large attacking<br />
forces and commercial aircraft.’’<br />
Boxer is chair of the Senate committee with<br />
jurisdiction over the NRC.<br />
While NRC officials have all along declined<br />
to discuss specifics of the defense plan for nuclear<br />
power plants, formally known as the Design<br />
Basis Threat, it is known to assume a relatively<br />
small attack force of no more than a half dozen<br />
attackers.<br />
Also, the plan does not assume that any such<br />
attacking force would be armed with certain<br />
weapons like rocket-propelled grenades or other<br />
weapons frequently used by terrorists in the<br />
Middle East.<br />
NRC officials have emphasized that the<br />
defense plan should require what is ‘‘reasonable’’<br />
to be expected of a civilian security force<br />
at the 103 commercial nuclear power reactors.<br />
Gates<br />
(Continued from Page 1)<br />
<strong>The</strong> Marine Corps used it from January through<br />
August of 2003 and at the high point had some 3,400<br />
active duty troops and 440 reservists held in service<br />
under the authority, said 1st Lt. Blanca E. Binstock, a<br />
spokeswoman.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Air Force did not have statistics<br />
immediately available.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Defense Department says the main<br />
reason for the policy is to keep units whole<br />
for deployments, regardless of whether<br />
service time is up for some individuals in<br />
the unit.<br />
‘‘It’s based on unit cohesion,’’ former<br />
Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld<br />
once said when a soldier questioned him<br />
about the policy during Rumsfeld’s visit to<br />
the staging area in Kuwait that is used for<br />
troops going into Iraq.<br />
‘‘<strong>The</strong> principle is that — in the event<br />
there is something that requires a unit to be<br />
involved in, and people are in a personal<br />
situation where their time was ending —<br />
they put a stop-loss on it so cohesion is maintained,’’<br />
Rumsfeld said.<br />
Rumsfeld said the policy was ‘‘something you prefer<br />
not to have to use in a perfect world.’’ He said it<br />
was basically a sound principle and well understood<br />
among soldiers.<br />
A half-dozen lawsuits have unsuccessfully challenged<br />
the policy. Courts have agreed that the<br />

And as far as the poll that<br />
shows most Wyomingites want<br />
gambling, Iekel said, “I’m going<br />
by my beliefs. Someone has to give<br />
a voice to that. It’s not an easy<br />
thing to go against the majority.”<br />
Childers said there could be<br />
amendments to the bill in terms of<br />
Wolf plan<br />
(Continued from Page 1)<br />
‘‘But we wish it also allowed<br />
language that would permit property<br />
owners to kill wolves to protect<br />
their livestock wherever its allowed<br />
to graze, even if the livestock’s<br />
owner does not own that property,’’<br />
Magagna said.<br />
A dispute between Wyoming<br />
and federal officials over wolf management<br />
has been stewing for the<br />
past few years and has prevented<br />

Species Act protections in<br />
Bob Spencer, a retired hospital chaplain in<br />
Cheyenne, is spokesman for Wyoming Equality, a<br />
group that he said works on gay, lesbian, transgendered<br />
and bisexual issues in the state.<br />
‘‘I’m quite disappointed that it came out of the committee,’’<br />
Spencer said of Geis’ bill. ‘‘I felt like it was as<br />
much political move as anything else — not based on a<br />
lot of necessity, very political.’’<br />
Spencer said he’s not aware of any married, samesex<br />
couples from elsewhere that have asked Wyoming<br />
to recognize their marriages.<br />
David Buckel, national marriage project director for<br />
Lambda Legal in New York City, said Friday that the<br />
legislation could hurt Wyoming’s tourism industry.<br />
‘‘We have a lot of skiers,’’ Buckel said. ‘‘And we<br />
have a lot of folks who like to put the kids in the station<br />
wagon and show them Yellowstone.’’ Yet Buckel said<br />
that although he deals with same-sex couples around<br />
the country, he hasn’t heard of any talking about wanting<br />
to pack up and move to the Cowboy State.<br />
‘‘That’s why it’s kind of confusing when you get a<br />
state like Wyoming fretting about any kind of flooding<br />
into the state,’’ Buckel said. ‘‘That will be the reverse,<br />
they’ll see fewer people in the summertime. It doesn’t<br />
strike me as a state that hates, so I don’t know why they<br />
would want to be turning people away there.’’<br />

Iraqi-born Dutch citizen<br />
faces U.S. terror charges<br />
WASHINGTON (AP) — An<br />
Iraqi-born Dutch citizen pleaded not<br />
guilty <strong>Monday</strong> in what the Justice<br />
Department called the first U.S. terror<br />
charges against insurgents targeting<br />
Americans in Iraq.<br />
Wesam al-Delaema, 33, has been<br />
wanted by the United States since<br />
2003, when he and his fellow<br />
‘‘Mujahideen from Fallujah’’ videotaped<br />
themselves planting explosives<br />
along an Iraq road used by<br />
U.S. troops. <strong>The</strong> explosives did not<br />
result in any deaths.<br />
He was extradited from the<br />
Netherlands over the weekend after<br />
being held there for nearly two<br />
years, and will become the first suspect<br />
tried in a U.S. court for alleged<br />
terrorism in Iraq’s bloody insurgency.<br />
‘‘After a lengthy extradition process,<br />
this defendant will now face<br />
justice for his efforts in orchestrating<br />
and launching roadside bomb<br />
attacks against our men and women<br />
serving in Iraq,’’ Assistant Attorney<br />
General Kenneth Wainstein said<br />
<strong>Monday</strong>.<br />
Al-Delaema has claimed he is<br />
innocent, and his lawyers have<br />
argued the U.S. does not have the<br />
right to try him. He nodded his head<br />
and spoke in broken English with<br />
his attorneys during a 10-minute<br />
hearing in front of U.S. District<br />
Judge Paul Friedman in<br />
Washington.<br />
Pentagon involuntarily can extend deployments if the<br />
president believes the practice is essential to national<br />
security.<br />
Though families dislike the policy and some<br />
troops oppose it, others accept it as a fact of life in<br />
wartime.<br />
Others, including lawmakers who<br />
have pushed for years for a larger military,<br />
have criticized the policy as a method for<br />
increasing the size of the force through<br />
back channels at the detriment of those<br />
who volunteered.<br />
Reversing previous administration<br />
thinking, President Bush said last month<br />
that the military should be larger.<br />
One of Gates’ first major decisions<br />
upon replacing Rumsfeld in December was<br />
to recommend that the Army’s troop<br />
strength be increased by 65,000 soldiers,<br />
to a total of 547,000 worldwide and the<br />
Marines grow from 27,000 to 202,000.<br />
Gates’ effort to stop keeping troops<br />
in the service after their commitment<br />
expires is part of a wider effort — laid out<br />
in a Jan. 19 memo — that also ordered new incentives<br />
for those who deploy early or often or are extended.<br />
<strong>The</strong> more widely noticed parts of that memo said<br />
Gates wants to limit involuntary mobilization for<br />
reserve forces to a year at any one time and make it a<br />
goal to limit active forces to a year deployed and two<br />
years at home base in between deployments. Most<br />
only get a year at home base now.<br />

“We’re doing one small part to<br />

Holsinger said.<br />
where the money goes.<br />
He said a Legislative Service<br />
Office study shows that the lottery<br />
would bring in between $20 million<br />
and $120 million annually.<br />
And he said those who are<br />
against it don’t have to play. “One<br />
group shouldn’t dictate what another<br />
group wants,” he said.<br />
Wyoming, Montana and Idaho.<br />
<strong>The</strong> federal government in 2004<br />
rejected the state’s original wolf plan<br />
and the state has filed a lawsuit, now<br />
pending in federal court, over the<br />
issue.<br />
In its original plan, Wyoming had<br />
proposed allowing state fish and<br />
game officials to adjust the size of a<br />
trophy wolf management area around<br />
Yellowstone and Grand Teton national<br />
parks. Outside that area, the state<br />
proposed wolves be classified as<br />
predators that could be shot on sight.

Opening for new<br />
Peabody mine<br />
delayed to 2009<br />
GILLETTE (AP) — Peabody<br />
Energy officials have pushed back<br />
a coal mine’s planned opening<br />
date from late 2008 to sometime<br />
in 2009 or possibly later.<br />
<strong>The</strong> reason is soft demand for<br />
coal from power companies.<br />
But a spokesman for the St.<br />
Louis-based company said it’s<br />
only a matter of when, not if, the<br />
mine will open 15 miles outside<br />
Wright.<br />
‘‘This mine, we believe, is the<br />
best undeveloped reserve block in<br />
the Powder River Basin,’’ Vic<br />
Svec said. ‘‘We are very optimistic<br />
that this is a winner.’’<br />
Peabody announced the mine<br />
early last year after a coal reserve<br />
swap with Arch Coal. <strong>The</strong> mine<br />
will employ around 300 people,<br />
including some current employees<br />
in the area.<br />
It would be the area’s thirdlargest<br />
coal mine.<br />
Coal markets have softened<br />
over the past year as electric utilities<br />
have increased stockpiles.<br />
Despite the delay, Peabody officials<br />
expect to continue working<br />
through designing and permitting<br />
for the mine.<br />
Peabody subsidiary Powder<br />
River Coal has an office in<br />
Gillette.<br />

Wyoming mines 38<br />
percent of world<br />
soda ash production<br />
GREEN RIVER (AP) —<br />
Wyoming’s soda ash production<br />
shrank slightly last year but still<br />
accounted for about 38 percent of<br />
the worldwide total, according to a<br />
report.<br />
Competition remains tough from<br />
China, however, and India is emerging<br />
as a competitor.<br />
Wyoming producers accounted<br />
for more than 95 percent of U.S.<br />
soda ash production in 2006,<br />
according to the report by Dennis<br />
Kostick, a soda ash analyst for the<br />
U.S. Geological Survey.<br />
Kostick predicted that both global<br />
and domestic demand for soda<br />
ash would continue to increase by<br />
about 1.5 percent to 2 percent over<br />
the next few years.<br />
He said slowdowns in the<br />
domestic automobile and construction<br />
industries last year affected<br />
soda ash consumption. Wyoming’s<br />
four major soda ash companies produced<br />
about 10.9 million tons of<br />
soda ash in 2006, down from 11.1<br />
million tons in 2005.<br />
Still, the total value of domestic<br />
soda ash produced last year<br />
increased from $905 million to $928<br />
million.<br />
Soda ash is processed from trona<br />
ore and is used in production of<br />
glass, soaps and detergents, among<br />
other products.<br />

Thomas, Baucus introduce<br />
country-of-origin meat-labeling bill<br />
CASPER (AP) — Senators from Wyoming<br />
and Montana have introduced a bill that would<br />
move up the deadline for all meat products to<br />
carry a country-of-origin label.<br />
<strong>The</strong> deadline would be moved up from Sept.<br />
30, 2008, to the same day this year under the<br />
legislation sponsored by Sens. Craig Thomas,<br />
R-Wyo., and Max Baucus, D-Mont.<br />
Sens. Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., and Jon Tester,<br />
D-Mont., have also signed onto the bill, along<br />
with senators from the Dakotas, Iowa and New<br />
Mexico.<br />
‘‘It is important to provide consumers with<br />
more product information, better choices, and<br />
a better chance to support American agriculture,’’<br />
Thomas said. ‘‘This bill is certainly of<br />
great importance to Wyoming livestock pro-<br />
Craig<br />
Thomas<br />
U.S. Senator<br />
R-Wyoming<br />
ducers and consumers who have the right to know where their food<br />
comes from.’’<br />
Thomas said many products such as clothing already have coun-<br />
try-of-origin labels.<br />
‘‘If it is good enough for T-shirts, it is good<br />
enough for T-bones,’’ he said.<br />
Country-of-origin labeling was included in<br />
the 2002 farm bill and was set to go into effect<br />
on Sept. 30, 2004, for beef, lamb, pork, fish,<br />
fruits and vegetables. Congress has repeatedly<br />
pushed back the deadline for all products in the<br />
bill except seafood.<br />
Supporters of labeling say it would give<br />
consumers more information and enable them<br />
Max Baucus<br />
to choose American beef. But meatpackers and<br />
supermarkets say the measure would be bur-<br />
U.S. Senator densome and costly, requiring reams of paper-<br />
D-Montana work.<br />
Baucus called it ‘‘a disgrace’’ that the labeling<br />
has been delayed.<br />
‘‘It’s time for Congress to heed the will of the people. Producers<br />
and consumers in Montana and the rest of the country want COOL<br />
and it’s time we make that happen,’’ he said.<br />
Local governments say FCC not playing<br />
fair in decision regarding cable rules<br />
WASHINGTON (AP) — <strong>The</strong> nation’s chief<br />
telecommunications regulator stands accused of<br />
misrepresenting the facts while pushing through<br />
rules that will make it easier for big phone companies<br />
to get into cable television.<br />
<strong>The</strong> policy change won approval by the Federal<br />
Communications Commission on a 3-2 vote Dec.<br />
20. That angered local government officials who<br />
claim the agency overstepped its authority and now<br />
promise a legal challenge. <strong>The</strong> vote also drew the<br />
threat of a ‘‘legislative fix’’ from a powerful congressman.<br />
<strong>The</strong> new rules are meant to spur more competition<br />
for cable television providers. <strong>The</strong>y require<br />
local governments to speed up the approval process<br />
for new competitors, cap the fees paid by new<br />
entrants and ease requirements that competitors<br />
build systems that reach every home.<br />
Consumer groups long have complained about<br />
rising cable rates and poor service, blaming the<br />
problems on a lack of competition.<br />
But opponents of the FCC’s action say the new<br />
rules amount to a ‘‘federalization’’ of the cable franchising<br />
process. <strong>The</strong>y contend the change will mean<br />
a loss of local oversight, fewer dollars for public and<br />
government access channels and the possibility of<br />
‘‘cherry picking’’ by companies that choose to<br />
serve only the richest neighborhoods.<br />
Supporters of the policy change have cited<br />
dozens of instances in which local governments<br />
have made unreasonable demands of new competitors,<br />
effectively blocking them from offering service.<br />
It was one of those claims that raised the ire of<br />

David L. Smith, the city attorney in Tampa, Fla. He<br />
said the FCC chairman, Kevin Martin, made a ‘‘blatantly<br />
inaccurate allegation’’ about Tampa’s conduct<br />
during franchise negotiations with Verizon<br />
Communications Inc.<br />
Martin was quizzing an agency employee during<br />
a commission meeting before casting his vote when<br />
he asked: ‘‘Is Verizon still required to film the tutoring<br />
classes for the math classes in Tampa, Florida in<br />
order to get a franchise?’’<br />
Rosemary Harold, a deputy chief in the FCC’s<br />
Media Bureau, answered, ‘‘Yes, Mr. Chairman.’’<br />
Harold was put on the spot earlier by commissioner<br />
Jonathan Adelstein, who voted against the<br />
FCC proposal. Adelstein asked Harold to cite ‘‘specific<br />
communities’’ that are ‘‘particularly having a<br />
problem right now’’ in gaining a franchise.<br />
Morning caffeine jolt from a doughnut?<br />
• N.C. man brings buzz to baked goods without the bitter taste<br />
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Dr.<br />
Robert Bohannon wants you in his<br />
world. It’s fast, upbeat, jovial and<br />
driven by caffeine — lots of it.<br />
But four to six cups of coffee a<br />
day aren’t enough for Bohannon,<br />
who holds a degree in molecular<br />
biology from the University of<br />
Colorado at Boulder. And he believes<br />
others share his need for more<br />
options when it comes time to pursue<br />
that caffeine buzz.<br />
So the molecular scientist who<br />
moonlights as a cafe owner developed<br />
a way to add caffeine to baked<br />
goods, one that eliminates the natural,<br />
bitter taste of caffeine.<br />
‘‘This gives people the opportunity<br />
if they want to have a glass of milk<br />
and want to have caffeine. It will get<br />
them going,’’ Bohannon said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> amount of caffeine in his creations<br />
can vary, but Bohannon can<br />
easily put 100 milligrams of caffeine<br />
— the equivalent of a 5-ounce cup of<br />
drip-brewed coffee — into the treats<br />
he plans to market under the ‘‘Buzz<br />
Donuts’’ or ‘‘Buzzed Bagels’’<br />
names.<br />
Bohannon, who owns Sips Coffee<br />
& Tea cafe in Durham, isn’t selling<br />
the amped-up baked goods yet. He<br />
recently began seeking patents and<br />
shopping the products to companies<br />
including Krispy Kreme Doughnuts<br />
Inc., Dunkin’ Donuts and Starbucks<br />
Corp. <strong>The</strong>re’s no word yet on<br />
whether the companies like the idea.<br />
But with waistlines and anxiety<br />
already expanding across the nation,<br />
some observers already question<br />
whether it’s wise to combine two key<br />
sources of these problems — caffeine<br />
and calories.<br />
‘‘I see nothing positive from<br />
this,’’ said Barry Popkin, a nutrition<br />
scientist at the University of North<br />
Carolina at Chapel Hill. ‘‘In many<br />
ways we’re creating a super caffeine<br />
generation. <strong>The</strong>y’re undersleeping,<br />
they consume a lot of caffeine to stay<br />
awake but they don’t understand<br />
there are health effects.<br />
‘‘It’s like getting a candy bar and<br />
putting Vitamin C in it, saying you’re<br />
getting your Vitamin C from this<br />
candy bar.’’<br />
Popkin has studied the health<br />
effects of caffeine, and says consuming<br />
more than 300 to 400 milligrams<br />
a day can lead to heart problems,<br />
among other negatives. A 12-ounce<br />
soda typically has 30 to 55 milligrams<br />
of caffeine.<br />
Children and pregnant women<br />
could also be hurt by more access to<br />
caffeine, especially if it’s added to<br />
unhealthy foods, he said.<br />
‘‘We’re seeing teens and young<br />
adults ending up in the emergency<br />
room because they’re consuming<br />
Red Bull and some of these other<br />
energy drinks,’’ he said.<br />
An 8.5 ounce can of Red Bull<br />
contains 80 milligrams of caffeine.<br />
Bohannon, 53 and a coffee<br />
drinker since he was 8 years old, says<br />
he’s well aware of the risks, but urges<br />
moderation.<br />
‘‘You don’t want to overdo it on<br />
anything,’’ he said, noting the positives<br />
that Popkin and others agree<br />
can result from caffeine, such as<br />
improved alertness.<br />
He also sees a demand for more<br />
caffeine, and says he has customers<br />
at his cafe who order eight shots of<br />
high-caffeine espresso at a time.<br />
‘‘<strong>The</strong>re’s some mornings that I’d<br />
like juice instead of coffee but I still<br />
want that caffeine kick,’’ said<br />
Stephanie Harris, a customer at Sips<br />
Coffee & Tea. ‘‘So I would love to<br />
have a caffeinated bagel or caffeinated<br />
doughnut. That would be awesome.’’<br />
Bohannon said his idea for caffeine-enhanced<br />
baked goods began<br />
about six years ago.<br />
‘‘I was sitting with a glass of milk<br />
and a doughnut,’’ he said. ‘‘I needed<br />
a little jolt in the morning.’’<br />
So, he began trying to create<br />
baked goods that would provide his<br />
much-loved coffee buzz by way of<br />
food. His first attempts at adding raw<br />
caffeine to doughnuts fell way short.<br />
‘‘<strong>The</strong>y were terrible, absolutely<br />
horrid,’’ Bohannon said. ‘‘<strong>The</strong> caffeine<br />
was so bitter it would just make<br />
you puke.’’<br />
He has since learned how to turn<br />
caffeine into small, flour-like particles,<br />
eliminating the bitterness and<br />
gritty texture. He also adds a vegetable<br />
oil-based coating.<br />

Opinion THE<br />
SHERIDAN <strong>Press</strong> <strong>Monday</strong>,<br />
Mrs. Clinton says<br />
she’ll listen, but<br />
actions so far<br />
belie her words<br />
When Lt. Gen. David Petraeus went before the Senate<br />
Armed Services Committee last week in open session,<br />
its members understandably had many questions for the<br />
new commander of American forces in Iraq.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y knew of his reputation as a battlefield leader,<br />
trainer of Iraqi troops and co-author of the Army manual<br />
on counterinsurgency warfare. <strong>The</strong>y also recognized the<br />
difficulty and importance of his new assignment.<br />
Many of the questions probed the rationale for the<br />
president's new strategy of injecting more U.S. troops<br />
into Baghdad neighborhoods<br />
racked by killings by rival<br />
Sunni and Shiite gangs. Others<br />
challenged the readiness of<br />
Iraqi forces and the Baghdad<br />
government to do their part in<br />
reducing sectarian violence.<br />
A few of the questions were<br />
naive, self-serving or tangents.<br />
But virtually all members of the<br />
committee were present, and<br />
David<br />
Broder<br />
Columnist<br />
senators of both parties recognized<br />
the value of probing this<br />
experienced and candid witness.<br />
With one exception. Sen.<br />
Hillary Rodham Clinton of<br />
New York used her time to make a speech about Iraq<br />
policy and did not ask a single question of the man who<br />
will be leading the military campaign.<br />
Her speech replayed some of the themes from her<br />
news conference the previous week, on her return from<br />
Iraq, when she made clear her disagreement with<br />
President Bush's decision to add 21,500 soldiers and<br />
Marines to Petraeus's force.<br />
She began by blaming the Iraq crisis on a "Congress<br />
[that] was supine under the Republican majority, failing<br />
to conduct oversight and demanding accountability, and<br />
because the president and his team, particularly the former<br />
secretary of defense, refused to adapt to the changing<br />
circumstances on the ground."<br />
From that partisan opening, Clinton went on to decry<br />
"the failures of the Iraqis to step up and take responsibility<br />
for their own future." She said that the escalation<br />
Bush ordered was too little and too late and instead<br />
called on Congress to "threaten to cut money for the<br />
Iraqi troops and for the security for the Iraqi leadership,"<br />
as a way to break the political gridlock in Baghdad and<br />
force efforts at national reconciliation.<br />
She wound up the speech by saying that despite her<br />
disagreement with the policy, she wanted Petraeus's<br />
assurance that "we have every possible piece of equipment<br />
and resource necessary to protect these young men<br />
and women" going into battle.<br />
"I'll do that, Senator," Petraeus said, and after that<br />
four-word response, Clinton was finished. She had no<br />
questions to ask.<br />
Judging by all the polls, Clinton is the leading candidate<br />
for the Democratic presidential nomination. Sen.<br />
John McCain of Arizona, a leading candidate for the<br />
Republican nomination, is also a member of the Armed<br />
Services Committee.<br />
McCain asked Petraeus 14 questions, ranging from<br />
the political situation in Iraq to the morale of the troops<br />
to the timeline for the planned "surge." He ran out of<br />
time before he ran out of questions — quite a contrast to<br />
Clinton.<br />
Clinton aides said that the senator thought it was<br />
important to rebut the comments from several other<br />
committee members suggesting that congressional resolutions<br />
opposing the president's policy would "undercut<br />
the troops," so she used her time for that purpose. But I<br />
can think of three other possible explanations for her<br />
remarkable reluctance to probe the general's thinking.<br />
First, she has been treading a careful line from her<br />
early support of military action against Saddam Hussein<br />
to an increasingly sharp criticism of the war and calls for<br />
troop reductions. Perhaps she feared that dialogue with<br />
Petraeus would lead her into dangerous, uncharted<br />
waters. Caution is commendable, but she is sometimes<br />
faulted for being too calculating.<br />
Second, the hearing came only three days after she<br />
announced her presidential exploratory committee, and<br />
she may have decided it was a good opportunity to<br />
repeat her views on Iraq policy before TV cameras<br />
rather than share time with the general. That wouldn't<br />
say much about her priorities as she begins a second sixyear<br />
term as senator, but New York voters presumably<br />
knew in November that she might have loftier goals than<br />
just minding her Senate duties.<br />
<strong>The</strong> third, less benign possibility is that Clinton is<br />
reverting to the mode of her ill-fated 1993-94 healthcare<br />
initiative, when she gave members of Congress and other<br />
interested folks the impression that she thought she<br />
had all the answers — so please just do as I say. In that<br />
period, she and her deputy, Ira Magaziner, two of the<br />
smartest policy wonks in captivity, were also supremely<br />
self-confident — and in some eyes, arrogant. And it cost<br />
them support, even among potential allies.<br />
This month Clinton began her presidential campaign,<br />
as she did her first race for the Senate in New York, by<br />
saying that she wanted to do a lot of listening. She sure<br />
wasn't listening to Gen. Petraeus. She wasn't even asking.<br />

Encourages community to attend<br />
‘Our Kids Are Worth It!’<br />
Editor:<br />
As a parent, nutrition educator and registered dietitian,<br />
I want to urge families and concerned community<br />
members to attend “Our Kids Are Worth It!” a presentation<br />
Tuesday, Jan. 30, from 6:30–8 p.m. at the Holiday<br />
Inn — Geneva Room (no charge and child care provided).<br />
We will have the opportunity to hear Dayle Hayes, an<br />
entertaining, knowledgeable nutrition educator, focus on<br />
how we can improve food and fitness for children at<br />
home, school and in the community, plus hear about a<br />
few school wellness successes in our region.<br />
“Our Kids Are Worth It!” I know of no other way to<br />
emphasize the importance of moving our community<br />
forward towards wellness.<br />
We must continue to address the need to improve the<br />
opportunities for our kids to engage in healthy eating and<br />
increased physical activity. No one group, person, agen-<br />
America has had 43 white male presidents. In 2008,<br />
is the country ready to elect a woman or a person of<br />
color? <strong>The</strong> answer is yes.<br />
Just the fact that three nontraditional candidates —<br />
Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and Bill Richardson —<br />
are serious contenders for the Democratic nomination<br />
shows how quickly the landscape is shifting. Even<br />
more striking: All three are treating their gender or<br />
race as an asset, not a drawback, and the numbers tell<br />
why.<br />
<strong>The</strong> United States is now one-third nonwhite, and<br />
in four states — including California and Texas —<br />
whites are in the minority. Moreover, women outnumber<br />
men and vote more often. Last fall, white males<br />
comprised only 39 percent of the electorate. So why<br />
should 100 percent of our presidents come from that<br />
one group?<br />
America already trails far behind the rest of the<br />
world when it comes to political diversity. Iceland<br />
elected the first female head of state in 1980. India and<br />
Israel, Great Britain and the Philippines, have all been<br />
run by women. Angela Merkel is chancellor of<br />
Germany and Segolene Royal is running for president<br />
of France.<br />
Even in the United States, the stereotypes of power<br />
have changed dramatically. In the House, Nancy Pelosi<br />
now serves as the first female speaker of the House,<br />
and new Democratic committee chairmen include such<br />
influential blacks as Charles Rangel at Ways and<br />
Means and John Conyers at Judiciary. Silvestre Reyes,<br />
a Latino from Texas, heads the Intelligence<br />
Committee.<br />
In the Senate, Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins of<br />
Maine are leading Republican opposition to President<br />
Bush’s war strategy. America has not had a white male<br />
secretary of state in over a decade. Before her retire-<br />

work of ex-coach Tim LeRoy<br />
Editor:<br />
A few weeks ago you ran a letter from some parents<br />
of former <strong>Sheridan</strong> High School Bronc football players<br />
Cokie and<br />
Steve Roberts<br />
Columnists<br />
ment, Sandra Day O’Connor<br />
was the most important jurist<br />
in the country.<br />
If anything, American culture<br />
has moved faster than politics<br />
to embrace nontraditional<br />
heroes. Tiger and Oprah need<br />
only one name. Eight of the 20<br />
actors receiving Oscar nominations<br />
this year are people of<br />
color, and three of the four<br />
favorites are black: Forest<br />
Whitaker, Eddie Murphy and<br />
Jennifer Hudson. Both Super<br />
Bowl coaches, Lovie Smith of<br />
the Bears and Tony Dungy of<br />
the Colts, are also African-American.<br />
If the new face of America makes it possible for<br />
Sen. Clinton to emphasize her gender instead of hiding<br />
it, her calculation is also based on hard facts.<br />
Democrats simply cannot win national elections without<br />
a distinct edge among female voters. Hillary’s husband,<br />
Bill, won the female vote by 16 points in 1996,<br />
but by 2004, John Kerry’s margin had shrunk to three<br />
points.<br />
Last fall, Democrats restored the gender gap to 12<br />
points — a big reason for their victory — and Hillary<br />
could maintain that advantage. In the latest<br />
ABC/Washington Post survey, her favorable rating<br />
among women was 59 percent (compared to 48 percent<br />
among men), and half of all female Democrats supported<br />
her candidacy (fewer than one in three males<br />
did).<br />
<strong>The</strong>se numbers lead Hillary’s pollster, Mark Penn,<br />
to declare, “Women constitute a huge ‘X’ factor in this<br />
upcoming election,” and her campaign is aimed direct-<br />

football coach at <strong>Sheridan</strong> High School.<br />
We too, as parents of a current senior football player,<br />
wish to join them in praise of Tim LeRoy’s skills,<br />
moral character, caring, mentorship, and fairness.<br />
Tim mentored two of our sons, one on the playing<br />
field at <strong>Sheridan</strong> High School and one off the field, at<br />
the University of Wyoming.<br />
How lucky we were to have such an outstanding<br />
gentleman, sportsman, and family man be a part of our<br />
sons’ lives.<br />
We were shocked when we heard he was dismissed<br />
from his job, and we are so saddened that such a fine<br />
coach has not been fully appreciated.<br />
Thank you, coach LeRoy, for all that you gave to<br />
our boys. We wish you the very best, and we hope that<br />
you and your family can continue on as a part of our<br />
community.<br />

<strong>The</strong> battle cry of 2008 — ‘Let’s chat!’<br />
ly at raising the comfort level of female voters. Her<br />
announcement video was shot in a living room, accented<br />
by soft lights and flowered pillows, and she talked<br />
about her campaign as a “conversation” with America,<br />
while avoiding macho images like battle or crusade.<br />
“So let’s talk. Let’s chat,” she said. Can you imagine<br />
any male candidate using that language? And in<br />
case you forgot her parental status, right after her<br />
announcement she was promoting children’s health at<br />
a community center conveniently named for two<br />
Manhattan neighborhoods, Chelsea and Clinton.<br />
As Democratic strategist Stephanie Cutler told the<br />
Washington Post: “If you’re a mother or a grandmother,<br />
then you have an automatic connection with an<br />
enormous cross section of society.”<br />
But the strategy goes beyond “let’s chat.” Hillary<br />
knows she has a 44 percent disapproval rating, that<br />
she’s seen as a hardcore liberal when only one in five<br />
voters last fall accepted that label. So she’s adapting<br />
the classic female persona of conciliator and compromiser.<br />
No hard edges. No ideological extremes. As she<br />
told Brian Williams on NBC, she was born into “a<br />
middle-class family, in the middle of America, in the<br />
middle of the last century.” Get it?<br />
Obama and Richardson, both children of mixed<br />
race couples, are taking a similar approach, depicting<br />
themselves as bridges between cultures, as seekers of<br />
common ground. Of course, the 44th president could<br />
still turn out to be another white male. But that outcome<br />
is less likely than at any time in our history.<br />

Pageant life makes Miss America contest fans out of plenty of men too<br />
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Behind nearly every<br />
young woman making her way through the gantlet<br />
of pageant life in hopes of being crowned<br />
Miss America, there’s a brother, boyfriend or<br />
some other man who’s along for the ride.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se men may not know — or ever really<br />
want to know — what ‘‘ballet en pointe’’ is, or<br />
hold an appreciation for tap dancing, opera or<br />
renditions of half-century old standards. Yet,<br />
they come every year to watch the Miss America<br />
succession unfold.<br />
This year’s televised finals and crowning of<br />
Miss America are scheduled today at the<br />
Aladdin Resort & Casino.<br />
‘‘I really enjoyed myself tonight,’’ 22-yearold<br />
Ben Beran, who dates Miss Wisconsin<br />
Meghan Coffey, said after watching preliminary<br />

competition. ‘‘Just seeing the girls tonight,<br />
they’re a lot better than I thought.’’<br />
Mike Hamilton of Auburn, Wash., is an engineer<br />
by trade who helps on a volunteer basis to<br />
coach local contestants how to tackle the thorny<br />
interview portion of the pageants. To him, the<br />
pageant’s appeal rests in being able to glean<br />
pointers for the girls he coaches.<br />
‘‘If I had a choice to watch the Patriots and<br />
Indianapolis, I’d watch the Patriots and<br />
Indianapolis versus the show,’’ he said, referring<br />
to an NFL matchup.<br />
Like many of the men gathered this weekend<br />
to see the crowning of a new Miss America on<br />
<strong>Monday</strong>, Hamilton first became involved in the<br />
pageant through his daughter, who won local<br />
contests and the state title in 1995.<br />

‘‘It’s like kids in sports. You go to all your<br />
kids’ games,’’ he said.<br />
Men easily made up a third of the crowd at<br />
one of the gatherings of relatives, friends and<br />
supporters of the 52 contestants vying for the<br />
title this year. Some seem out of place, with the<br />
allure of gambling perhaps distracting them.<br />
Not so with Patrick Coffey, Meghan’s father.<br />
Praise for the pageant life comes easy for the 63year-old<br />
university administrator, who lives in a<br />
suburb of Milwaukee.<br />
Coffey watched his daughter compete as a<br />
baton twirler since she was very young and said<br />
the pageant is an extension of that. Along the<br />
way, he said he’s come to appreciate the<br />
pageant’s offerings.<br />
One of our<br />
favorite winter<br />
birds is the darkeyed<br />
junco. It<br />
spends the summers<br />
and breeds in<br />
Canada and<br />
Alaska, but it<br />
comes south to us<br />
in the winter. We<br />
often think of them<br />
as our "snowbirds," for they<br />
seem to arrive with snow.<br />
About 6 inches long, the junco<br />
may vary in color. Males have<br />
a gray head and breast with a<br />
white belly, while the female is<br />
brownish-gray overall. <strong>The</strong><br />
white, outer tail feathers in flight<br />
are the most conspicuous and<br />
identifying mark. Juveniles are<br />
streaked.<br />
Fifty percent of the junco's<br />
diet is insects, and the bird<br />
spends a great deal of time<br />
scratching on the ground and<br />
among leaves seeking them.<br />
At your backyard feeder, juncos<br />
still prefer to eat on the<br />
ground and will forage beneath<br />
the feeder rather than go to an<br />

choice over the sunflower seed,<br />
since the millet is easier to handle<br />

birds.<br />
<strong>The</strong> overall population of juncos<br />
has been estimated at 630<br />
billion. But, like most songbirds,<br />
the junco has its enemies. Nests<br />
are raided, and both fledglings<br />
and adults fall prey to hawks.<br />
Juncos are nocturnal migrants<br />
and often collide with TV towers,<br />
windows and other structures.<br />
Most male juncos that<br />
reach breeding age have only 2.3<br />
years to produce young.<br />

Utah university vice provost<br />
‘not sure’ library is place for ‘howl’<br />
LOGAN, Utah (AP) — Stress<br />
relievers during final exams are<br />
fine, even encouraged, say Utah<br />
State University administrators.<br />
But a group howl in the school<br />
library? Maybe not.<br />
‘‘Students want to vent all that<br />
pressure,’’ said Linda Wolcott, vice<br />
provost for libraries. ‘‘I sympathize<br />
with them. I’m just not sure the<br />
library is the most appropriate<br />
place to do it.’’<br />
<strong>The</strong> student government will<br />
consider a request to sanction a<br />
finals week howl, something that<br />
started during last spring when a<br />
small group of students tried to<br />
break the tension by howling like<br />
wolves.<br />
<strong>The</strong> students thought it was<br />
effective and called for another<br />
howl last semester. <strong>The</strong>y sounded<br />
off again — in the Merrill-Cazier<br />
Library, a four-story building<br />
where sound tends to carry.<br />
‘‘We went back to the library<br />
because we figured that was the<br />
place where the most people would<br />
be during finals week,’’ said junior<br />
Eric DeFries, an organizer. ‘‘<strong>The</strong><br />
librarians and stuff still got kind of<br />
mad but nothing really happened.’’<br />
DeFries wants the university to<br />
adopt the howl as a school tradition.<br />
But the effort may have a better<br />
chance if it’s held somewhere other<br />
than the library, Wolcott said.<br />
Nothing scares and intimidates most average<br />
citizens more than income tax time. All the rules and<br />
forms and instructions overwhelm us with their<br />
complexity and sheer volume. We really need help!<br />
And that’s the whole reason behind our annual Tax<br />
Guide. This entire publication will be full of helpful<br />
and enlightening articles designed to help take the<br />
mystery out of income tax time.<br />

Dr. Gott Dr. Peter Gott<br />
DEAR DR. GOTT: Our family is perplexed by a<br />
condition my 38-year-old daughter has had for around<br />
nine years -- dizziness without passing out. She says<br />
that when she turns her head to one side (I don't know if<br />
it is left or right), she feels this<br />
symptom coming on. <strong>The</strong> doctors<br />
have twice run extensive tests on<br />
her brain and heart with no<br />
abnormalities. Do you know<br />
what a possible cause might be<br />
and what she can do?<br />
DEAR READER: From your<br />
brief description of her symptom,<br />
I believe that her faintness and<br />
dizziness are caused by an interruption<br />
of blood flow to the<br />
brain. When one of the two<br />
carotid arteries in the neck is partially<br />
blocked, turning the head or looking up can lead<br />
to a diminished blood flow to the brain, with resulting<br />
lightheadedness and faintness. In my opinion, the next<br />
step for your daughter is a simple and safe test called a<br />
carotid ultrasound, which will show whether a blockage<br />
is present. She should ask her primary-care physician<br />
about having this test done.<br />
DEAR DR. GOTT: I was very interested in your<br />
article about irritable bowel syndrome and your reader's<br />
success with Digestive Advantage IBS. I also suffer<br />
from IBS and have had a two- to three-month episode<br />
two or three times a year for the last 20 years. My latest<br />
session involved constipation rather than diarrhea,<br />
DEAR ABBY: My best friend,<br />
"Ted," and I recently met an attractive<br />
girl I'll call "Bridget." Ted was<br />
married and suggested I date<br />
Bridget. Within a few days, before I<br />
got up the nerve to ask her on a<br />
date, Ted broke up with his wife,<br />
moved in with me and started seeing<br />
Bridget.<br />
This was awkward, but in addition,<br />
Bridget started making sexual<br />
advances toward me. Unfortunately,<br />
I didn't have the wisdom to keep<br />
away from her. Although we didn't<br />
have sex, I was closer to her than I<br />
should have been to my best friend's<br />
girl. Ted knows about it, and now<br />
ensures that Bridget and I are never<br />
alone together. He constantly worries<br />
about the situation, and it is<br />
interfering with his job.<br />
I believe he wants to break up<br />
with her, but he's afraid I will date<br />
her. I agreed with his suggestion<br />
that we both stop talking to her, but<br />
they are still dating. She continues<br />
to flirt with me every time he leaves<br />
the room, and I am defenseless<br />
against a pretty woman. Bridget<br />
says she likes<br />
me, but she<br />
loves Ted.<br />
She clearly<br />
has some<br />
attachment<br />
issues. I<br />
would love to<br />
talk to her<br />
about them<br />
and help her.<br />
I think<br />
Ted and I<br />
both have strong feelings for her.<br />
What should we do? Neither of us<br />
can resist when she cries or wants<br />
something. -- STUCK IN THE<br />
MIDDLE<br />
DEAR STUCK: You are not<br />
helpless. Find your backbone, start<br />
using your head, and thank your<br />
lucky stars that Bridget "loves" Ted.<br />
If you were in his shoes, YOU<br />
which was just as troublesome, as I often passed messy<br />
gas and had to wear sanitary pads. Like your other readers,<br />
I was at the store looking for something for relief<br />
when I noticed the Digestive Advantage product. I<br />
decided to give it a try and, although my results were<br />
not immediate, my symptoms cleared up within two<br />
weeks, and I was regular again. I've been taking this<br />
product for four months now and have not had any IBS<br />
symptoms. <strong>The</strong> directions state that you should not stop<br />
taking this product, or your symptoms will return. As<br />
my symptoms were so distressing, I have been afraid to<br />
stop taking the daily tablet but now wonder whether I<br />
will have to take it for the rest of my life. I can't help<br />
but wonder whether these directions are a marketing<br />
ploy and a way for Digestive Advantage to increase its<br />
sales. I read your column regularly and would be very<br />
interested in your opinion.<br />
DEAR READER: Stay with the medicine if it is<br />
working. If after a year of therapy your symptoms have<br />
not returned, you could -- under your doctor's supervision<br />
-- cut back on the Digestive Advantage. I am<br />
impressed by your improvement.<br />
To give you related information, I am sending you a<br />

would be the one constantly worried<br />
about who she was coming on to the<br />
minute your back was turned.<br />
Bridget appears to use sex as a<br />
way of getting attention and validation.<br />
It's a problem that's beyond<br />
your expertise to fix -- and also<br />
mine. She may need professional<br />
counseling, or a self-help group for<br />
sexually compulsive people, once<br />
she finally admits she has a problem.<br />
<strong>The</strong> best way I know to avoid<br />
temptation is to avoid tempting situations.<br />
In your case, that means<br />
spending as little time in Bridget's<br />
presence as possible.<br />
DEAR ABBY: My mother-inlaw,<br />
"Shirley," is a dear, sweet, caring<br />
and generous person. <strong>The</strong>rein<br />
lies the problem.<br />
Each time she comes to visit, she<br />
brings things for the apartment.<br />
"Jasper" (her son) and I live in a<br />
small renovated loft. We both prefer<br />
a minimalist look, with just a few<br />
decorative items: a museum poster<br />
or something that an artist friend<br />
created.<br />
Shirley loves craftsy, cutesy,<br />
cottage and country-style things.<br />
(To me, her home is cluttered with<br />
all of her "collections.") <strong>The</strong> things<br />
she brings us look completely out of<br />
place in our apartment.<br />
I'm sure other people encounter<br />
this problem, too. What do we do<br />
with all the stuff she brings? And<br />
how do we convince her that, while<br />
she's entitled to her own preferences,<br />
they are not ours? -- HATES<br />
DUST-CATCHERS IN N. C.<br />
DEAR HATES: Your problem is<br />
common. <strong>The</strong> time to nip it in the<br />
bud is now, before the situation<br />
becomes any more awkward than it<br />
already is. You and Jasper need to<br />
have a frank, kind, face-to-face chat<br />
with Shirley and let her know that<br />
you love her and appreciate her<br />
thoughtfulness -- but while some<br />
people regard empty space as a vacuum<br />
to be filled, others find it restful<br />
and serene. You and Jasper fall<br />
into the latter category. (Surely,<br />
she'll understand.) As for what to do<br />
with gifts already received, offer to<br />
give them back to her.<br />

Colo. tavern owners try to squeeze into smoking-ban loophole<br />
DENVER (AP) — While many<br />
tavern owners across Colorado are<br />
waiting for the courts or the<br />
Legislature to clarify the statewide<br />
smoking ban, dozens of others are<br />
less patient. <strong>The</strong>y’re allowing customers<br />

lot of cigarettes before the law took<br />
effect say they qualify as cigar bars<br />
because the Colorado Indoor Air Act<br />
covers ‘‘tobacco products,’’ rather<br />
than specifying cigars.<br />

percent or $50,000 of their revenues<br />
from the sale of tobacco products<br />
qualify as cigar bars.<br />

• Ariz. grandma<br />
with bingo habit<br />
gets 3 years for<br />
trunk load of pot<br />
SIERRA VISTA, Ariz. (AP) —<br />
A 62-year-old grandmother who<br />
prosecutors said ran drugs to support<br />
her bingo habit has been sentenced<br />
to three years in prison and a<br />
$150,000 fine.<br />
Acting on a tip, state police<br />
stopped Leticia Villareal Garcia near<br />
Bisbee in southeast Arizona in<br />
February 2005 and found 214<br />
pounds of marijuana stuffed into the<br />
trunk of her car.<br />
Garcia has maintained her innocence,<br />
telling the judge at her sentencing<br />
Friday that she was unaware<br />
of the grass as she headed for a bingo<br />
game.<br />
‘‘I never, never had any knowledge<br />
of that car being loaded when I<br />
went to Tucson,’’ the Bisbee resident<br />
told Cochise County Superior<br />
Court Judge Wallace Hoggatt.<br />
Garcia testified at her trial in<br />
November that her son’s godfather<br />
had borrowed her car the day before.<br />
Her lawyer, Robert Zohlmann, said<br />
she had been used as a ‘‘blind<br />
mule’’ to unknowingly haul drugs.<br />
Garcia said she often played bingo,<br />
occasionally winning several<br />
thousand dollars at a sitting,<br />
although her only regular income<br />
was a $275 monthly welfare check<br />
she received for caring for a granddaughter.<br />
‘‘<strong>The</strong> underlying issue is that<br />
she’s got a bingo problem, which<br />
explains why an otherwise nice<br />
person might get sucked into something<br />
like this,’’ prosecutor Doyle<br />
Johnstun told the jury.<br />
Garcia faced as much as 12 1/2<br />
years in prison, but Johnstun asked<br />
for just four years, agreeing with<br />
her lawyer that her age and lack of<br />
a record called for the lesser sentence.<br />

Opinions mixed on Hathaway requirements<br />
CASPER (AP) — Parents, students and educators are<br />
divided when it comes to whether students should be<br />
required to take tougher classes to qualify for the new<br />
Hathaway Scholarship.<br />
Andrea Eshe, a senior at Casper’s Kelly Walsh High<br />
School, said requiring a curriculum that is challenging<br />
would be helpful. Classmate Brianna Degroot called for<br />
flexibility.<br />
‘‘I think it should be left open,’’ Degroot said. ‘‘Some<br />
people are better in English than they are in science.’’<br />
<strong>The</strong> scholarship covers at least half the cost of tuition at<br />
the University of Wyoming and the state’s community colleges.<br />
Students with good grades and scores on a collegeadmission<br />
test can get nearly all of their tuition covered.<br />
Students do not have to take any specific classes to<br />
qualify for the scholarship. But that’s going to change. By<br />
2<strong>01</strong>1, students will need to have completed a ‘‘success curriculum’’<br />
to qualify for Hathaway.<br />
State lawmakers are debating which classes will make<br />
up the curriculum.<br />
A bill that would set lower requirements than those suggested<br />
by a committee last year recently cleared the House.<br />
But some state senators want rigorous requirements and<br />
expectations are high that the Senate will restore the committee’s<br />
recommendations.<br />
Bill would<br />
establish wolf<br />
compensation<br />
board in Mont.<br />
HELENA, Mont. (AP) — A bill<br />
that would set up a long-awaited board<br />
to compensate Montana ranchers who<br />
lose livestock to wolves drew<br />
widespread support Thursday,<br />
although lawmakers are still trying to<br />
find a way to fund it.<br />
Montana is required to create such<br />
a board under its wolf management<br />
plan approved in 2004 by the federal<br />
government.<br />
But the fiscal note attached to Rep.<br />
Bruce Malcolm’s bill contained no<br />
money for it, only suggesting that livestock<br />
losses due to wolves could cost<br />
up to $200,000 a year and stating the<br />
board would not use money from state<br />
fishing and hunting licenses.<br />
‘‘Where do you plan to get the<br />
money?’’ asked Rep. Carol Lambert,<br />
R-Broadus.<br />
Malcolm, R-Emigrant, told the<br />
House Agriculture Committee funding<br />
could come from several sources, but<br />
said he planned to try to insert a<br />
request for $200,000 into the governor’s<br />
proposed budget.<br />
‘‘I don’t know who is going to step<br />
up to the plate, or be forced to step up<br />
to the plate,’’ he said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> committee took no immediate<br />
action on the bill.<br />
Wolves were reintroduced to the<br />
northern Rocky Mountains a decade<br />
ago after being hunted to near-extinction.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y now number more than<br />
1,200 in the region, and U.S. Fish and<br />
Wildlife Service officials plan to start<br />
the process of removing federal protections<br />
from the animals in Idaho and<br />
Montana in the coming weeks.<br />
Those protections could be gone<br />
within a year, giving the state complete<br />
management of its wolf populations,<br />
said Chris Smith, chief of staff<br />
for the state Department of Fish,<br />
Wildlife and Parks.<br />
‘‘Wolves have once again become<br />
part of the Montana landscape. ... No<br />
matter what we do, one of the realities<br />
we face is there will be a loss of livestock<br />
to wolves in Montana in the<br />
future,’’ he said.<br />
Supporters say such a program is<br />
needed — both to compensate ranchers<br />
for livestock losses and to help prevent<br />
future attacks by helping pay for<br />
fences, guard animals, livestock<br />
herders and other preventative measures.<br />

‘‘I feel we’ll come full circle,’’<br />
State Superintendent Jim<br />
McBride said.<br />
Several parents who were<br />
asked said they’re not sure<br />
which curriculum requirements<br />
would be best. But they all said<br />
students should be encouraged<br />
to challenge themselves.<br />
Sheri Mitchell, president of<br />
the Natrona County High<br />
School Parent Teacher Student<br />
Association, said she has<br />
encouraged her children to take more challenging classes.<br />
But she said students at smaller schools might not have<br />
access to many tougher classes.<br />
Natrona County High School parents Jack Olsen and<br />
Jenifer Scherlin said students who take advanced classes<br />
are better prepared for college and should be rewarded for<br />
their extra effort.<br />
But others say a tough, required curriculum isn’t necessary.<br />
And some say the proposed curriculum isn’t broad<br />
enough because it doesn’t cover the arts.<br />
Associations representing art, music, drama, vocational<br />
training, health, physical education and dance teachers<br />
ited the two-day event last week.<br />
Keith said the event’s small<br />
size was good for participants.<br />
Vendors at big events like the<br />
National Western Stock Show in<br />
Denver often don’t have time to<br />
talk with ranchers individually, he<br />
said.<br />
Kim Cullen, with K2 Genetics<br />
of Wheatland, brought along some<br />
of her Red Angus cattle.<br />
‘‘I like this show,’’ she said. ‘‘I<br />
love the atmosphere.’’<br />

wrote the state Department of<br />
Education in October. <strong>The</strong><br />
groups said they were concerned<br />
that the proposed success curriculum<br />
focused only on math,<br />
science, language arts, social<br />
studies and foreign languages.<br />
‘‘It is vital to the cognitive<br />
development, as well as future<br />
career choices, that students<br />
explore the arts, humanities,<br />
and vocational/technical<br />
fields,’’ the letter stated. ‘‘<strong>The</strong><br />
Hathaway Scholarship honors that premise. We urge you<br />
to add the remaining four content areas in your final construction<br />
of the Hathaway criteria requirements.’’<br />
Sheila McHattie, an art teacher at Natrona County<br />
High School, said the teachers wanted to tell state officials<br />
that their subjects can be rigorous.<br />
‘‘<strong>The</strong>re’s just as much research that shows a wellrounded<br />
curriculum makes a well-rounded student,’’<br />
McHattie said. ‘‘I care about these kids. I believe in freedom<br />
of choice. I feel people should be able to pursue their<br />
interests in high school.’’<br />
Other educators see the problem as a matter of access.<br />

GILLETTE (AP) — <strong>The</strong> House<br />
has unanimously passed a school<br />
finance bill that would establish a<br />
task force to study virtual schools, a<br />
proposal less than what was hoped<br />
for by backers of a virtual school<br />
here.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Campbell County School<br />
District has been operating a pilot<br />
virtual elementary school since last<br />
fall. <strong>The</strong> district has been using<br />
local funding for the program.<br />
District administrators have been<br />
wanting state funding for the<br />
school. But that’s not part of this<br />
year’s school finance bill, introduced<br />
in the Senate on Friday.<br />
Associate Superintendent Boyd<br />
Brown said the Legislature seems to<br />
want to slow down while considering<br />
virtual schools.<br />
‘‘Whatever we spent this year,<br />
we’re not going to get back,’’ he<br />
said.<br />
Mary Kay Hill, administrative<br />
director for state Department of<br />
Education, said her agency presented<br />
possible criteria for virtual<br />
schools for lawmakers to consider.<br />
But she said lawmakers wanted to<br />
study virtual schools first.<br />
‘‘We said if you take this route,<br />
we will not have a means to provide<br />

John O’Connor, a counselor for both Natrona County and<br />
Kelly Walsh high schools, said the success curriculum<br />
ought to apply only to the highest tier of the scholarship.<br />
That way, students from smaller schools who don’t<br />
have access to advanced classes would still be able to<br />
qualify for some scholarship money.<br />
O’Connor said research has shown that students scoring<br />
a 25 or more on the ACT college-admission test —<br />
the minimum to qualify for the scholarship’s highest tier<br />
— likely are already taking tougher math and science<br />
classes.<br />
Many who received the first round of the Hathaway<br />
this year are apparently not fully prepared for college,<br />
according to University of Wyoming and community college<br />
officials.<br />
Twenty-five percent of the first class of Hathaway students<br />
at the university are enrolled in remedial math<br />
courses, a rate similar to that of predecessors who didn’t<br />
get the scholarship. Figures are similar at Casper College,<br />
with about 20 percent taking remedial math or English.<br />
‘‘It doesn’t serve the students well to go to school and<br />
not succeed,’’ said Rollin Abernethy, University of<br />
Wyoming associate vice president for academic affairs.<br />
———<br />
<strong>The</strong> bill is House Bill 97<br />
Lack of state funds<br />
confronts Gillette<br />
virtual school<br />
funding for the Campbell County<br />
pilot next year. We don’t have the<br />
capacity, the authority, the legal<br />
ability to pay them next year,’’ Hill<br />
said. ‘‘<strong>The</strong> committee understood<br />
that.’’<br />
<strong>The</strong> bill would give the task<br />
force until Oct. 1 to study virtual<br />
schools and report findings.<br />
Recommendations could then be<br />
taken up during next year’s legislative<br />
session.<br />
Continuing the virtual school,<br />
meanwhile, could become costly for<br />
the district.<br />
‘‘It’s hard to take money from<br />
somewhere else to support that program<br />
not even knowing if it’ll be<br />
funded after next year,’’ Brown<br />
said. ‘‘It’s so unknown.’’<br />
He estimated the district had<br />
spent $200,000 on the virtual<br />
school.<br />
While Brown would like to see<br />
state funding for the virtual school,<br />
he said he also understood legislators’<br />
concerns.<br />
‘‘It’s such a broad topic and you<br />
can do it so many ways,’’ he said.<br />
‘‘<strong>The</strong>y want to try to package<br />
everything together and have a<br />
good, comprehensive virtual-school<br />
package.’’<br />
Oil, oil everywhere, yet Gillette<br />
paying more for gasoline<br />
GILLETTE (AP) — Campbell<br />
County produces more oil than any<br />
other county in Wyoming, yet people<br />
here pay more for gasoline than<br />
just about everyone else in the state.<br />
Here’s why: <strong>The</strong>re isn’t a refinery<br />
or a gasoline pipeline nearby.<br />
‘‘If you’re located on a pipeline,<br />
you’re going to be better supplied,’’<br />
said Michael Burdett, a senior analyst<br />
for the U.S. Department of<br />
Energy’s Energy Information<br />
Administration.<br />
Prices for gasoline in Gillette<br />
late last week were around $2.20 a<br />
gallon; the statewide average was<br />
$2.04, according to www.wyominggasprices.com.<br />
All gasoline in Gillette is<br />
trucked into town and several gas<br />
station managers said they buy<br />
gasoline from whoever has it available<br />
at the price they’re willing to<br />
pay.<br />
Cheyenne, on the other hand,<br />
has the Frontier Oil Corp. refinery<br />
on its doorstep. Gasoline in<br />
Cheyenne on Sunday was $2; the<br />
statewide average was $2.11,<br />
according to AAA Wyoming.<br />
Burdett said lack of competition<br />
among stations also is a factor in<br />
Gillette.<br />
‘‘You guys are kind of prisoners<br />
because you’re out at the end of the<br />
supply system,’’ he said. ‘‘If everybody<br />
waits for somebody to drop<br />
their prices and no one is trying to<br />
gain market share, there isn’t a lot<br />
of incentive to drop prices.’’<br />
Laura Conkey, 40, fueled her<br />
Jeep Liberty at a Kwik Shop in<br />
Gillette on Thursday. She said the<br />
local economy may be booming,<br />
but not everyone in Gillette is flush<br />
with cash.<br />
‘‘<strong>The</strong>re’s a mind-set that everyone<br />
works for a coal-bed methane<br />
company and is making a lot of<br />
money,’’ she said.<br />
Wyo. state<br />
veterinarian<br />
steps down<br />
CHEYENNE (AP) — State<br />
Veterinarian Dwayne Oldham<br />
has resigned, according to the<br />
president of the Wyoming<br />
Livestock Board.<br />
Phil Marton announced<br />
Oldham’s resignation Friday.<br />
Oldham began as state veterinarian<br />
and chief executive officer<br />
for the Wyoming Livestock<br />
Board in 2004. He helped<br />
Wyoming regain its status as a<br />
brucellosis-free state last year.<br />
Brucellosis is a bacterial disease<br />
that infects bison and elk<br />
and can be transmitted to cattle,<br />
causing them to abort their<br />
calves.<br />
Wyoming lost its brucellosisfree<br />
status when cattle in western<br />
Wyoming tested positive for brucellosis<br />
exposure in 2004 and<br />
2005. That led to stepped-up testing<br />
for the disease.

Eagle offense comes to life to beat Greybull<br />
By Ken Hamrick<br />
Sports Editor<br />
When the Tongue River High School boys’<br />
basketball team hosted Greybull on Saturday at the<br />
Eagles Nest, the visiting Buffaloes attempted to<br />
throw a monkey wrench into the Eagles’ game<br />
plan.<br />
Greybull started the game with a slowdown<br />
offense which had some effects on TRHS — at<br />
least for the first half. But the Eagles made the necessary<br />
adjustments at the half and came back to<br />
score a 49-31 win.<br />
“That’s the way Greybull played us at their<br />
place,” said TRHS coach Larry Moser. “We knew<br />
they would want us to shorten the game, but we<br />
defended their backdoor cuts really well. We were<br />
patient offensively, and we began to build a lead.”<br />
Jordan Collingwood opened the scoring as he<br />
hit from behind the arc for a 3-0 Greybull lead. It<br />
took three minutes for the Eagles to get on the<br />
scoreboard as D.J. Stewart’s layup closed the<br />
deficit to 3-2.<br />
Matt Dalin hit two free throws to again give the<br />
Buffs a three-point lead, but consecutive layups by<br />
Rob Johnson and Stewart gave TR a 6-5 lead at the<br />
end of the quarter.<br />
Johnson opened the second quarter by stealing a<br />
Greybull pass at midcourt and driving for a basket.<br />
He was fouled on the play, and made the ensuing<br />
free throw for a 9-5 Eagles lead.<br />
Curtis Lindgren brought the Buffs within 9-7,<br />
but Stewart knocked down a 15-footer and John<br />
Fuller split from the line to stretch TR’s lead to 12-<br />
7. However, Greybull went on a 5-2 run to cut the<br />
Eagles’ lead to 13-12 with 4:18 left in the half.<br />
Ben Cherni scored a layup and was fouled,<br />
however he missed the free throw. Stewart grabbed<br />
the miss and scored from the inside to increase the<br />
lead to 17-12.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Buffaloes closed within 19-16, but<br />
Stewart’s jumper and a free throw by Johnson gave<br />
Tongue River a 22-16 lead at the break.<br />
Stewart made two free throws early in the third,<br />
and Wes Dobrenz and Fuller also scored to give the<br />
Eagles a 28-16 lead. Stewart made two more free<br />
throws and Fuller scored TR’s only three-pointer of<br />
the game for a 33-16 advantage.<br />
Stewart made two straight baskets to give the<br />
Eagles 15 unanswered points. Collingwood finally<br />
scored Greybull’s first points of the second half<br />
with 1:05 left in the quarter and Dalin made two<br />
free tosses to close the Eagle lead to 37-20.<br />
Cherni scored in the final seconds of the period<br />
Zac<br />
Garrison<br />
Rob<br />
Johnson<br />
to give TRHS a 39-20 lead.<br />
Stewart and Fuller scored to give Tongue River<br />
its biggest lead of the game at 43-20. Greybull<br />
closed within 45-28, but the Eagles scored four of<br />
the lost seven points to take the 18-point victory.<br />
“We’ve struggled throughout the year with<br />
zone defense, but we did a good job of attacking<br />
the zone today,” Moser said.<br />
Stewart led all scorers with 22 points, followed<br />
by Fuller with eight. Johnson led in assists and<br />
blocked shots, however Moser complimented one<br />
of his players’ defensive efforts.<br />
“Some people overlook the defensive job Zac<br />
Garrison did on Jordan Collingwood, one of the<br />
premier players in the state,” Moser said. “I hope<br />
people appreciate the way he plays defense.”<br />
Tongue River (11-2, 5-0 Class 2A Northeast)<br />
will have another tough test as the third-ranked<br />
Eagles host fifth-ranked Sundance on Friday.<br />
“We have a monster game with Sundance,”<br />
Moser said. “It will be for the conference lead, and<br />
it should be a good one.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> junior varsity game begins at 6 p.m., followed<br />
by the varsity at 7:30.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Tongue River J.V. team also defeated<br />
Greybull on Saturday 51-48. John Hannahs, who<br />
gave the Eagles the lead with a three-pointer late in<br />
the game, led the team with 20 points, followed by<br />

Lady Eagles overcome foul<br />
trouble to dump Greybull<br />
By Ken Hamrick<br />
Sports Editor<br />
<strong>The</strong> top-ranked Tongue River High School<br />
girls’ basketball team rolled to a double-digit<br />
lead in the first half of its game against<br />
Greybull on Saturday at the Eagles Nest.<br />
However, two of the Lady Eagles’ top players,<br />
Courtney Johnson and Beth Yellowtail, got<br />
into foul trouble in the second half which<br />
helped the Lady Buffs get back into the game.<br />
But the twosome returned in the fourth<br />
quarter, with Johnson scoring eight points in<br />
the final quarter, to give TRHS a 50-36 win.<br />
“We got a little bit out of our rhythm and<br />
got into some foul trouble,” said TRHS coach<br />
Dianne Moser. “But I thought that some kids<br />
came off the bench and made good contributions,<br />
and defensively I thought we did some<br />
really nice things. We’ll take the win any<br />
time.”<br />
Tongue River has now won 12 straight<br />
games after starting the season with two losses.<br />
Annie Lofgren and Darcy Mitchell both hit<br />
jumpers to give the Lady Eagles an early 4-0<br />
lead. Amy Sorenson put the Lady Buffs on the<br />
board with two free throws, and after<br />
Yellowtail made one of two from the line,<br />
Sorenson made two more free tosses to cut the<br />
TR lead to 5-4.<br />
Yellowtail scored in the paint, and Johnson<br />
also scored twice from the inside and also<br />
scored a free throw for a 12-4 Lady Eagle lead.<br />
Amy Schenderline then drove for a layup to<br />
give Tongue River a double-digit lead with<br />
less than a minute left in the first quarter.<br />
Hope Anderson scored Greybull’s first<br />
field goal of the game to reduce the lead to 14-<br />
6 at the end of the quarter.<br />
Lofgren and Yellowtail both scored early in<br />
led 22-3 after the first quarter and used that<br />
advantage to cruise to a 52-35 win over the Lady<br />
Bulldogs.<br />
Sundance did not go<br />
down quietly as it cut the<br />
lead to 28-14 at halftime.<br />
Big Horn regained the<br />
momentum in the second<br />
half as it outscored the<br />
Lady Bulldogs 9-4 in the<br />
third quarter.<br />
Winsome Williams<br />
and Rebecca O’Dell led<br />
Big Horn in scoring as<br />
both scored 13 points.<br />
Williams was the top<br />
rebounder with nine and<br />
O’Dell had seven.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Big Horn junior<br />
Winsome<br />
Williams<br />
varsity also won 50-41. Angela LoGuidice led<br />
the Lady Rams with 22 points.<br />
Courtney<br />
Johnson<br />
Darcy<br />
Mitchell<br />
the second for an 18-6 lead, but Layna Sukut<br />
and Kyndra Goton both made three-pointers to<br />
help the Lady Buffs reduce the lead to 19-12.<br />
Mitchell scored on the backdoor play for a 21-<br />
12 lead, but Heather Olson’s two free throws<br />
again closed the TR lead to seven points.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Lady Eagles then scored three straight<br />
baskets, with Kelly Horn hitting two and<br />
Mitchell scoring once, for a 27-14 lead.<br />
Lofgren and Mitchell both scored three points<br />
in the final 80 seconds of the half to extend the<br />
lead to 33-20 at the intermission.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Lady Eagles maintained the 13-point<br />
lead through the first half of the third before<br />
Greybull went on a 7-0 run to whittle the TR<br />
lead to 39-31. But Schenderline scored at the<br />
buzzer for a 41-31 Lady Eagle lead at the end<br />
of the third.<br />
Olson made two free throws to bring the<br />
Lady Buffs within eight points, but Johnson<br />
scored a pair of free throws and also two<br />
layups to again give Tongue River a doubledigit<br />
lead at 47-33.<br />
Mitchell scored one of two from the line,<br />
and Johnson scored another layup to conclude<br />
the Lady Eagles’ scoring.<br />

Woods, Federer dominate in unheard of ways<br />
By <strong>The</strong> Associated <strong>Press</strong><br />
<strong>The</strong>y crisscross the globe, dominating on almost<br />
every continent, one whacking a small, white ball<br />
better than anyone in the world, the other wailing<br />
away on a fuzzy green one with equal aplomb.<br />
Tiger Woods and Roger Federer are making history<br />
in their respective sports, owning golf and tennis<br />
the way very few ever have. Over the weekend, they<br />
wrote new chapters in their march toward sports history.<br />
No. 1 in golf, Woods won his seventh straight<br />
PGA Tour event on Sunday in San Diego, a record<br />
eclipsed only by Byron Nelson back in the 1940s<br />
when the competition wasn’t as tough.<br />
No. 1 in tennis, Federer won the Australian Open<br />
a half a world away, marking his 10th grand slam<br />
victory and furthering his quest to become the best<br />
tennis player ever.<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir excellence has united them over the years.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y have become friends, and neither lets his own<br />
accomplishment go unnoticed by the other.<br />
‘‘He’ll text me and say he won one there,’’<br />
Woods said in an interview Sunday on ESPN. ‘‘Now,<br />
I’ve got to text him and say we’re all<br />
even.’’<br />
It’s a friendly rivalry between two men<br />
who never have to play each other — the<br />
31-year-old golf star and a 25-year-old<br />
counterpart on the tennis circuit. <strong>The</strong>y are<br />
athletes who dominate in individual,<br />
sometimes lonesome, sports — men who<br />
recognize the commitment and sacrifice<br />
that must be made, even if the games they<br />
play may seem foreign to the other.<br />
Last year, Woods was in Federer’s box<br />
to watch his U.S. Open victory. A few<br />
months later, Federer walked the course<br />
with Woods at a golf tournament in China.<br />
Tiger<br />
Woods<br />
Though many wonder how the joys of fatherhood<br />
— his wife, Elin, is due with their first child next<br />
summer — might affect him, Woods conceded his<br />
charge toward the top of golf’s record book might be<br />
a more realistic quest than Federer’s.<br />
‘‘<strong>The</strong> only thing going for me, is I’ve got longevity<br />
in my corner,’’ Woods said, acknowledging the<br />
reality that golfers can play on a top level into their<br />
40s, while tennis players fade out much earlier.<br />
Not so long ago, Nelson’s record of 11 victories<br />
seemed untouchable. Nelson racked up<br />
those wins under very different circumstances,<br />
before golf reached the heights it’s<br />
at today and before seemingly every player<br />
had a swing guru and a personal trainer.<br />
Though Nelson’s record suddenly<br />
appears reachable, Woods remains focused<br />
on another number: 18. That’s the number<br />
of majors Jack Nicklaus won. Woods<br />
entered 20<strong>07</strong> with 12, and even if he misses<br />
the British Open to be on hand for his<br />
child’s birth, he’ll still be favored to win<br />
the other three this year.<br />
‘‘If you want to rate it ... you can’t<br />
compare four in a row in majors,’’ Woods said of the<br />
so-called ‘Tiger Slam’ he won in 2000-<strong>01</strong>, compared<br />
to his current PGA Tour streak. ‘‘<strong>The</strong>re’s no comparison<br />
in that. That’s what we play for.’’<br />
But as much as Nicklaus, maybe Woods really<br />
should be keeping his eye on Federer, who’s two<br />
majors short in tennis of where Tiger stands in golf.<br />
As in golf, excellence in tennis can be judged<br />
either by dominance in the majors or by week-in,<br />
week-out success. Either way, Federer passes the<br />
test.<br />
During the recently completed two weeks in<br />
Melbourne, he became the first man since Bjorn<br />
Borg in 1980 to go through a major without losing a<br />
set. Federer tied a 73-year-old record by mad king<br />
his seventh consecutive final in majors. He needs<br />
only four more Grand Slam wins to match the record<br />
held by Pete Sampras.<br />
‘‘Breaking records and doing something that<br />
hasn’t been done for a long time, it’s really nice,’’<br />
Federer said.<br />
Meanwhile, he already has enough points in the<br />
tennis standings to ensure he will break Jimmy<br />
Connors’ record of 160 straight weeks atop the<br />
men’s rankings by the end of next month.<br />
<strong>The</strong> only hole in his resume has been his inability<br />
to win the French Open, played on tricky clay courts<br />
in Paris each May.<br />
‘‘I think it’s going to be a very interesting French<br />
Open for me ... hopefully win the title,’’ he said.<br />
‘‘That will be a dream come true. That’s the only<br />
way I can make this season a better one than last<br />
year. Otherwise it won’t be possible.’’<br />
But as the recently completed weekend proved,<br />
with these athletes, almost anything seems possible.

<strong>Monday</strong>, Jan. <strong>29</strong>, 20<strong>07</strong><br />
<strong>The</strong> dealer on your<br />
right opens the bidding,<br />
and you overcall in a suit.<br />
In principle, you have<br />
shown at least a five-card<br />
suit and some 10-plus<br />
high-card points. But is it<br />
acceptable to overcall with<br />
only a four-card suit?<br />
Yes, when the suit is<br />
strong, when you have<br />
(usually) at least opening<br />
count, and when your<br />
hand is unsuitable for a<br />
takeout double (normally,<br />
you are short in an unbid<br />
major). <strong>The</strong> South hand is<br />
a good example. With 14<br />

<strong>The</strong>re will be many new opportunities,<br />
adventures and unusual possibilities<br />
that could further your aims.<br />
However, instead of scattering your<br />
forces, it behooves you to be selective<br />
and discriminating.<br />
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) --<br />
Unless you establish goals for yourself<br />
and get organized early, you<br />
could end up frittering your hours<br />
away on projects of little consequence.<br />
Allocate your time and<br />
interests wisely.<br />
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) --<br />
Don't hesitate to break plans if you<br />
get a better offer, especially if what<br />
you were going to do was kill time.<br />
If there was another friend involved,<br />
invite him or her along.<br />
ARIES (March 21-April 19) --<br />
Should someone interfere with your<br />
objectives, it could be upsetting to<br />
you. But if you hope to accomplish<br />
your goals, you'll find being flexible<br />
will actually produce the best<br />
results.<br />

West leads the club jack.<br />
<strong>The</strong> defenders take the<br />
first three tricks, then East<br />
shifts to the heart king.<br />
You must avoid a<br />
spade loser, which is a<br />
problem only if East has<br />
four to the jack. (West<br />
cannot have four spades,<br />
assuming East opened correctly.)<br />
You should cash<br />
your spade ace, then lead a<br />
spade to dummy's king.<br />
When West discards, you<br />
play a spade to your 10,<br />
draw the last trump, and<br />
claim, saying that you will<br />
throw your heart loser on<br />
dummy's long club.<br />
Agreed, a four-card<br />
stray into forbidden areas and cause<br />
a brouhaha you didn't intend.<br />
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A<br />
number of great bargains being<br />
advertised could lure you into the<br />
shopping malls. Unfortunately, it<br />
may cause you to go on a spending<br />
spree you hadn't intended, bringing<br />
with it more debt.<br />
CANCER (June 21-July 22) --<br />
Being self-sufficient is an admirable<br />
quality, but take care not to carry it<br />
to extremes and fail to act in harmony<br />
when a situation calls for it. It<br />
would only make you look self-serving.<br />
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Just<br />
because you're inclined to follow the<br />
mood of the moment and do things<br />
as your whims dictate doesn't mean<br />
you can ignore your duties. Save<br />
your inclinations for free hours.<br />
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --<br />
One of those impromptu gatherings<br />
with friends could come out of the<br />
blue. <strong>The</strong> unexpected should turn<br />
out to be fun unless someone opens<br />
the door to forbidden territory.<br />
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) --<br />
You're an extremely kind and giving<br />
person, but don't limit this merely to<br />
material offerings. Your generosity<br />

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) --<br />
Although you may be quick to perceive<br />
solutions to another person's<br />
problems, don't offer any suggestions<br />
unless you're asked. Your<br />
well-meaning ideas could be interpreted<br />
as interference.<br />
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.<br />
21) -- You'll have a far more enjoyable<br />

not influenced by his or her expensive<br />
tastes or personal affluence. It'll<br />
do you in.<br />
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -<br />
- If possible, try to place yourself in<br />
the position of being able to call<br />
your own shots. If you get involved<br />
with a demanding type, your whole<br />
day will be spent satisfying this person.<br />
