120th Year, No. 214 Serving <strong>Sheridan</strong> County, Wyoming<br />

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 />

<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 />

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 />

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 />

<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 />

support the<br />

House bill, but<br />

reserved the right to<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 />

and wished the measure went<br />

even further.<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 />

Banquet goers were encouraged to<br />

in each box.<br />

Today marks the 70th anniversary<br />

in 1937, membership has grown<br />

from 6,720 to today’s 800,000, with<br />

Lottery<br />

(Continued from Page 1)<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 />

removing wolves from Endangered<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 />

take care of one small area,”<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 />

K ATIE W EITZ<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 />

Lends voice to commend<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 />

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 />

Gas." Other readers who would like a copy should send<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 />

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 />

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 />

<strong>The</strong> law says taverns that got 5<br />

percent or $50,000 of their revenues<br />

from the sale of tobacco products<br />

qualify as cigar bars.<br />

(House Bill 1108) to close that loophole<br />

expected to help clarify the law’s<br />

exemptions.<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 />

backed out prior to final<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 />

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 />

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 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 />

Phillip Alder<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 />

overcall is not without<br />

risk. But more points are<br />

lost with cautious passes<br />

than with aggressive calls.<br />

could be more valuable when it is<br />

extended to your verbal treatment of<br />

others.<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 />

time going shopping with a<br />

good friend, but take care you are<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 />

Know where to look for romance<br />

and you'll find it. <strong>The</strong> Astro-Graph<br />

Matchmaker wheel instantly reveals<br />
