State GOP Convention here in 2010 

The Wyoming State Republican 

Committee on May 2 voted to 

award Sheridan the 2010 State 

Republican Convention. 

The event will be April 29-May 

1. 

“We are pleased that the state 

committee has voted to have the 

convention here in Sheridan,” said 

Stuart Schumacher, chairman of 

the Sheridan County Republicans 

in a press release. “The convention 

will bring approximately 400-500 

people to the community. No matter 

what your political affiliation, 

this will be good for Sheridan 

County.” 

Schumacher also stated in the 

release that Linda Caldwell of the 

Sheridan Holiday Inn and Penny 

Becker of Sheridan Travel and 

Tourism were instrumental in producing 

the bid package to land the 

event.

White House: Deficit to top $1.8 trillion 

WASHINGTON (AP) — With the economy 

performing worse than hoped, revised 

White House figures point to deepening budget 

deficits, with the government borrowing almost 

50 cents for every dollar it spends this year. 

The deficit for the current budget year will 

rise by $89 billion to above $1.8 trillion — 

about four times the record set just last year. The 

unprecedented red ink flows from the deep 

recession, the Wall Street bailout, the cost of 

President Barack Obama’s economic stimulus Barack 

bill, as well as a structural imbalance between Obama 

what the government spends and what it takes President of the 

in. 

United States 

As the economy performs worse than 

expected, the deficit for the 2010 budget year 

beginning in October will worsen by $87 billion to $1.3 tril- 

lion, the White House says. The deterioration 

reflects lower tax revenues and higher costs for 

bank failures, unemployment benefits and food 

stamps. 

For the current year, the government would 

borrow 46 cents for every dollar it takes to run the 

government under the administration’s plan. In 

one of the few positive signs, the actual 2009 

deficit is likely to be $250 billion less than predicted 

because Congress is unlikely to provide 

another $250 billion in financial bailout money. 

The developments come as the White House 

completes the official release of its $3.6 trillion 

budget for 2010, adding detail to some of its tax 

proposals and ideas for producing health care 

savings.

Money 

(Continued from Page 1) 

While there’s been some push 

to increase the current contribution 

limits on state races to federal levels, 

Neal said it appears unnecessary. 

The state currently limits people 

to donating no more than 

$2,000 per election 

cycle to a single candidate 

and places a 

$25,000 cap per person 

for each election cycle. 

Neal said he 

believes the state needs 

to consider the cumulative 

effects of having 

energy interests in the 

state subsidize state 

lawmaker elections 

over many years. 

“Long term, it’s still 

interesting to think 

about what it would 

mean if we went to a publicly 

financed election system,” Neal 

said. 

Bruce Hinchey, president of the 

Petroleum Association of 

Wyoming, said Friday that his 

organization and other energy 

interests don’t expect to influence 

specific votes by their contributions. 

Rather, he said they’re interested 

generally in supporting candidates 

who support business. 

The Petroleum Association of 

Wyoming donated $7,850 in the 

last campaign with more than 98 

percent of it going to Republican 

candidates, according to the 

report. 

“We supported both Democrats 

and Republicans that support the 

oil and gas industry,” Hinchey 

said. He said the group supports 

candidates who support the 

group’s goal of developing oil and 

gas and get it out to the markets. 

“That’s what I think the teachers’ 

union does, and any group 

does,” Hinchey said. “They’re 

going to support people that look 

favorably on whatever legislation 

it is that supports their group.”

Rep. Ken Esquibel, D- 

Cheyenne, received $2,000 from 

the real estate group. He was 

among the 27 Democrats and 81 

Republicans the group supported. 

Esquibel said he 

expects that he received 

money from the group 

because his wife is a 

real estate agent. 

“That’s how those 

PACs raise money, by 

members paying into 

them,” Esquibel said. 

“And obviously if 

you’re a member of 

them, they think that 

you’re going to be supportive 

of their issues.” 

Esquibel said the 

real estate group and 

other organizations that 

contribute to state lawmakers 

don’t expect that the recipients 

will vote exactly how the groups 

want. Instead, he said the groups 

look to support candidates who are 

informed about the issues that the 

groups face on a daily basis. 

Rep. Rodney “Pete” Anderson, 

R-Pine Bluffs, also received 

$2,000 from the real estate group. 

Anderson, a veteran lawmaker 

who serves as chairman of the 

House Revenue Committee, said 

he has sponsored legislation that 

the real estate group opposed that 

would have made property sales 

figures public. 

“I think the reason they support 

me and other guys, is we’re basic 

conservatives,” Anderson said. 

“We have kind of a record on conservative 

votes.” 

While Anderson said he 

believes that he and other lawmakers 

will listen to groups that support 

them, he said contributions 

don’t buy votes. 

“Certainly if they ask me, I’ll 

say I’ll listen,” Anderson said. 

“But I’ll vote what I think is best 

for the district and the state. That’s 

all they ask of me.”

The White House budget is a recommendation 

to Congress that represents Obama’s fiscal and 

policy vision for the next decade. 

Annual deficits would never dip below $500 

billion and would total $7.1 trillion over 2010- 

2019. Even those dismal figures rely on economic 

projections that are significantly more optimistic 

— just a 1.2 percent decline in gross 

domestic product this year and a 3.2 percent 

growth rate for 2010 — than those forecast by private 

sector economists and the Congressional 

Budget Office. 

For the most part, Obama’s updated budget 

tracks the 134-page outline he submitted to lawmakers 

in February. His budget remains a bold 

but contentious document that proposes higher 

taxes for the wealthy, a hotly contested effort to 

combat global warming and the first steps toward 

guaranteed health care for all. 

Obama’s Democratic allies controlling 

Congress have already made it clear that they will 

reject key elements of his plan. Already apparently

decade to pay for his health care initiative by 

curbing the ability of wealthier people to reduce 

their tax bills through deductions for mortgage 

interest, charitable contributions and state and 

local taxes. 

And the congressional budget plan approved 

last month would not extend Obama’s signature 

$400 tax credit for most workers — $800 for couples 

— after it expires at the end of next year. 

Obama’s remarkably controversial “cap-andtrade” 

proposal to curb heat-trapping greenhouse 

gas emissions is also reeling from opposition 

from Capitol Hill Democrats from coal-producing 

regions and states with concentrations of heavy 

industry. Under cap-and-trade, the government 

would auction permits to emit heat-trapping 

gases, with the costs being passed on to consumers 

via higher gasoline and electric bills. 

Among the new proposals is a plan — already 

on its way through Congress — that would 

increase the Federal Deposit Insurance 

Corporation’s borrowing authority from $30 billion 

to $100 billion in order to grant a two-year 

reprieve from higher deposit insurance premiums 

Dialysis treatment in Sheridan is a joint venture 

between Sheridan Memorial Hospital and 

The Billings Clinic. The service first became 

available here in 1995 with assistance from Joe 

and Arlene Watt, whose foundation also funded 

the recently completed Watt Dialysis Center. 

Among the graduates were 22 students who 

earned bachelor’s degrees through a joint program 

with the University of Wyoming outreach school. 

Thirteen students received both associate and bachelor’s 

degrees. 

Newcastle resident Tucker Hamilton was 

excited about completing his classes and plans to 

transfer to Laramie to finish his bachelor’s 

degree in animal science. 

“I’m glad I came here first, but I’m also glad 

that this part is over with,” Hamilton said. 

“Sheridan College was good for me.” 

Mixed in among the graduates were a number 

of nontraditional students, including Vicki 

Cotton of Parkman. Cotton, 51, hadn’t taken any 

classes since the early 1980s but decided to go

while the industry is struggling. 

Also new are several tax “loophole” closures 

and increased IRS tax compliance efforts to raise 

$58 billion over the next decade to help finance 

Obama’s health care measure. The money makes 

up for revenue losses stemming from lower-thanhoped 

estimates of his proposal to limit wealthier 

people’s ability to maximize their itemized 

deductions. 

The updated budget also would repeal an unintended 

tax windfall taken by paper companies that 

use a byproduct in the paper-making process as 

fuel to power their mills. The tax credits were 

never intended for paper companies, but now they 

could be worth more than $3 billion a year, 

according to a congressional estimate. 

The budget would make permanent the 

expanded $2,500 tax credit for college expenses 

that was provided for two years in the just-passed 

economic stimulus bill. It also would renew most 

of the Bush tax cuts enacted in 2001 and 2003, 

and would permanently update the alternative 

minimum tax so that it would hit fewer middle- to 

upper-income taxpayers. 

Dialysis treatment in Sheridan eliminates the

GM CEO: Bankruptcy protection probable 

DETROIT (AP) — Bankruptcy protection 

for the nation’s biggest automaker is becoming 

more probable with a deadline just over two 

weeks away, the company’s top executive told 

reporters Monday. 

General Motors Corp. CEO Fritz 

Henderson is still holding out hope that the 

company can restructure without court protection, 

but he says the tasks to complete before a 

June 1 government-imposed deadline are 

large. 

The automaker, Henderson said, is looking 

at its operations country-by-country to determine 

where it might have file for bankruptcy, 

but he says a U.S. bankruptcy doesn’t necessarily 

mean that GM would file in other locations. 

“Certainly the task that we have in front of 

us is large,” Henderson said during a conference 

call to update the company’s restructuring 

efforts. “There is still an opportunity and 

still a chance for it to be done outside of a 

court process.” 

GM shares fell 16 cents, or 9.9 percent, to 

$1.45 in morning trading. 

General Motors has received $15.4 billion 

in federal loans, and the government deadline 

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama 

administration warned corporate America on 

Monday that the government will move more 

aggressively to investigate big firms that 

improperly dominate markets — contending 

that lax enforcement by the Bush administration 

fueled the current economic troubles. 

Assistant Attorney General Christine Varney 

said the Justice Department is abandoning legal 

guidelines established by the Bush administration 

in September 2008. Critics complained that 

the earlier set of instructions made it difficult to 

pursue antitrust cases against big firms. 

Varney laid out the new policy in a speech to 

the Center for American Progress, a left-leaning 

think tank.

to restructure or seek Chapter 11 

protection is just over two weeks 

away. But the company must reach 

concessionary agreements with 

unions, persuade thousands of bondholders 

to exchange $27 billion in 

debt for 10 percent of GM’s stock, 

cut thousands of dealers, close plants 

and lay off more salaried workers. 

Under Chapter 11 reorganization, 

a company can stay in operation 

under court protection while 

sheds debts and unprofitable 

assets to emerge in a stronger 

financial position. 

Also Monday, Henderson left open the 

possibility that GM would move its corporate 

headquarters out of Detroit. The company, 

he said, is looking at everything within 

its business. 

“It’s not like we have that queued up at 

the top of our list,” he said, adding that GM 

has a large number of people in Detroit and 

is proud to be here. 

He would not comment about reports 

about Fiat Group SpA’s interest in getting 

80 percent of GM’s European Opel opera- 

She said some of the current economy’s 

problems were due to the lack of enforcement in 

the previous 10 years — a clear jab at the Bush 

administration, which, she said, raised too many 

hurdles to antitrust investigations. 

“There was a high cost to standing aside. We 

must change course and take a new tack,” said 

Varney. 

The new rules mark a return to the antitrust 

policies of the Clinton administration, which 

brought a major action against Microsoft. These 

days, similar questions are being asked about 

the market dominance of Google. 

Asked about Google, Varney insisted her 

remarks weren’t aimed at any particular company,but 

wanted all companies to get the message.

tions, saying that any structure 

must address the needs of both 

partners. 

Henderson said GM has an 

urgent need for funding from 

the German government, so 

any partner for its European 

operations would have to be 

suitable to the government. 

“We have a need for funding, 

actually, in our European 

business, that’s important and 

urgent and the German government 

hasn’t indicated an interest 

in running our business,” Henderson 

said. “We’re going to make sure that any 

partner we pick in this business is going to 

be suitable for them, so that if we need 

their support, we obviously want them to 

find any partner to be reasonable and 

acceptable. 

Henderson cast doubt on reports that 

GM may sell its Latin American operations, 

saying they have consistently 

brought great returns to the company. 

“This is a business that we know and 

like very much,” he said. 

The Sheridan Press, Monday, May 11, 2009 3 

GM is still in the process of negotiating 

with the United Auto Workers about six 

factories that intends to close, Henderson 

said, and it is negotiating with both the 

UAW and Canadian Auto Workers about 

concessions. 

The company also plans to notify dealers 

later this week about its plans to reduce 

their ranks by about 2,600 by 2010. The 

company has 6,246 dealerships, many of 

which are not profitable because of lower 

sales volumes. 

Henderson said GM has said the number 

of parties interested in its Hummer brand 

has dropped to two from three, and he 

expects a decision by the end of May. For 

GM’s Swedish Saab unit, there are a number 

of interested parties, he said, adding 

that a resolution will take a month or two. 

Negotiations are still underway to sell 

the Saturn distribution network, but GM 

would be open to selling factories to make 

the products if someone were interested, 

Henderson said. 

“To date, haven’t seen any specific proposals 

in that regard, but this is something 

we would be open to,” he said. 

Justice Department plans new antitrust effort 

“Look, when you become successful and 

you have market power, however you define it, 

you need to pay attention to the rules,” she said. 

Ed Black, president of the Computer and 

Communications Industry Association, said 

Varney’s remarks showed firms should “do 

some self-correcting before they get corrected” 

by the government. 

“It’s clear we have a new sheriff in town and 

I think there is so much that has been left 

ignored and not dealt with,” said Black. 

In doing so, the Justice Department is following 

up on a campaign pledge by President 

Barack Obama, who said the Bush administration 

had “what may be the weakest record of 

antitrust enforcement of any administration in 

the last half-century.” 

Varney said the Obama administration 

would try to follow the historic lessons of The 

Great Depression in pursuing antitrust cases 

even in a troubled economy. 

Ineffective government regulation, she 

argued, is contributing to the current economic 

problems. 

“As antitrust enforcers, we cannot sit on the 

sidelines any longer,” she said, adding that new 

legislation may be needed to better police the

Venture capital spending for alternative energy drops 63 percent 

NEW YORK (AP) — Venture capitalists 

reined in spending on renewable energy to 

begin the year, with funding for research and 

startup projects falling 63 percent through 

March, according to an industry report 

released Monday. 

It is the latest indicator of just how badly 

the global economic downturn has dampened 

the rush toward alternatives to fossil fuels. Oil 

and gas companies have also been hurt as 

overall demand for energy has fallen in the 

recession. 

From January to March, venture capitalists 

spent $277 million on clean-energy projects, 

compared with $715.3 million in the 

same period last year, according to an Ernst 

& Young analysis based on data from Dow 

Jones Venture Source. 

“Investors took a deep breath and 

paused,” said Ernst & Young’s Joseph 

Muscat. “The weak economy has caused 

demand for energy in general to go down.” 

There were already signs that traditional 

stock market investors had pulled back on 

clean energy spending. The report Monday 

showed how wealthy and institutional 

investors, some of the most ardent backers 

of alternative energy, have been forced to 

tamp down spending as well. 

There were a few surprises, however, 

with some comparatively big money going 

toward the critical technology of storing 

energy. New investments more than doubled 

to $114 million, making energy storage the 

biggest lure among venture capitalists in 

early 2009. 

The fuel cell sector attracted $45 million 

in the first quarter, compared with none a 

year earlier, according to the analysis 

released Monday.

SHERIDAN… 

THE 

BEST 

OF 

THE WEST

Opinion THE 

Press SHERIDAN Monday, 

Political will, 

not ideas, 

missing from 

U.S. budget 

The mountain labored, and brought forth a mouse. Last 

week the administration confronted the budget of the U.S. 

government in the "line by line" review long promised by 

President Obama — and found theoretical savings almost 

invisible to the naked eye. 

The nickel-and-dime exercise, 

a repeat of equally futile 

gestures by former president 

George W. Bush, claimed $17 

billion in savings in a $3.4 trillion 

spending plan — a bit less than 

one-half of 1 percent. 

Judd Gregg, the ranking 

Republican on the Senate Budget 

Committee, said, "This amounts 

David 

Broder 

Columnist 

to less than an asterisk when it 

comes to the amount of debt and 

deficit that we will be running up 

as a government." 

The Democratic chairman of 

that committee, Kent Conrad of North Dakota, was a bit 

more polite, saying that "the effort will help" but adding 

that "as important as program terminations and cuts are, 

we should not lose sight of the far larger threat to our 

nation's finances — the combination of the retiring babyboom 

generation, rising healthcare costs and our outdated 

and inefficient revenue system." 

Conrad and Gregg have proposed attacking that larger 

problem by creating a bipartisan commission to examine 

the big entitlement programs — Social Security, Medicare 

and Medicaid — where savings must be found, and the tax 

systems that support them. 

That proposal and its counterpart in the House of 

Representatives, sponsored by Republican Frank Wolf of 

Virginia and Democrat Jim Cooper of Tennessee, have 

been stymied for two years principally by the adamant 

opposition of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. 

So far, Obama has not challenged her, even though he 

knows as well as anyone that significant steps to avoid a 

succession of trillion-dollar annual deficits when we 

emerge from this recession clearly will require reform of 

entitlements and taxes. 

Last week, in a courageous break with party solidarity, 

the House majority leader, Steny Hoyer, reiterated his support 

for the commission idea, suggesting that Congress 

tackle Social Security along with the healthcare reform 

Obama has put on the agenda. 

As Hoyer pointed out, the options for dealing with 

Social Security "are well and widely understood. We can 

bring in more revenues. We can restrain the growth of benefits, 

particularly for higher-income workers, while we 

strengthen the safety net for lower-income workers. 

And/or we can raise the retirement age, recognizing that 

our life expectancy is significantly higher today." 

"What is missing here," he said, "is not ideas. It is political 

will" and the degree of trust between the parties needed 

for successful bargaining. 

More and more Democrats and Republicans are 

expressing a readiness for such an effort. In response to 

Hoyer's speech, Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of 

South Carolina, who traveled the country last year with 

John McCain, told my Post colleague Lori Montgomery, 

"I think we can get double-digit Republican support for a 

reasonable compromise." 

As if to confirm his words, Republican Sen. George 

Voinovich of Ohio and independent Democrat Joseph I. 

Lieberman of Connecticut introduced an entitlement commission 

bill last week. Voinovich told me that he thinks 

"the prospects for action on the issue are very, very good, 

because the feeling is growing that we can't sustain the 

path we're on." 

When I spoke with Graham by phone, he outlined a 

plan that would not only embrace Hoyer's proposals but 

also provide bigger benefits for retirees past 80 "who are 

outliving their 401(k)s" in increasing numbers. 

Graham said that with leadership from Obama, including 

a barnstorming tour with congressional supporters 

from both parties, such a compromise could pass Congress 

this year — with no need for a commission. 

But while these Republicans are gung-ho, Hoyer is 

cautious. He reminded me in an interview that both Pelosi 

and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid have thrown cold 

water on the commission idea, and said that signals from 

the White House suggest that Obama would not want anything 

to get in the way of his health care and energy initiatives 

this year. 

If that means more futile gestures, like last week's tiny 

budget cuts, the nation — and Obama — will have missed 

an opportunity.

More enlightenment, not more 

illumination on night-sky issue 

Editor: 

The City Council is about to consider on third 

reading an outdoor lighting ordinance that would 

reduce the city's long-term lighting costs, save electric 

consumers substantial energy, reduce annoyance 

and glare from over-lighting, and help restore our 

nighttime view of the stars. 

These are laudable goals that few have challenged. 

The debate has centered on whether an ordinance 

is desirable or even necessary to achieve 

them. 

Would mandated compliance increase costs for 

local businesses? Since we observe a nationwide 

trend toward more efficient lighting, why not let it 

happen naturally? 

Addressing the cost issue, the proposed ordinance 

would apply first to new construction. 

Existing lights that do not meet the new standard 

could be replaced during normal maintenance or 

whenever the fixtures wear out. 

Efficient lights that shine downward do not cost 

significantly more to purchase and install. And 

because they reduce power requirements, they save 

"I've taken showers," Jack Kemp loved to say, 

"with the kind of people most Republicans have 

never met." 

By the time Kemp died last week at 73, he was no 

longer a force in the Republican Party, but the warning 

contained in his joke resonates more than ever. 

During his 18 years in the House, representing 

the suburbs of Buffalo, N.Y., and his failed run for 

vice president in 1996, Kemp preached the gospel of 

inclusion, not exclusion. 

He wanted the "big tent" of the Republican Party 

to cover the entire football field where he once 

starred as a quarterback for the Buffalo Bills. The 

black linemen who blocked for him and the blue-collar 

workers who cheered for him should all have a 

place in the GOP. 

But as Sen. Olympia Snowe, a Maine Republican, 

has noted, Kemp's old party is today more like an 

umbrella than a tent, "under which only a select few 

are worthy to stand." And New York, Kemp's adopted 

home, reflects that decline. In 1980, the Empire 

State supported Ronald Reagan and elected a 

Republican, Al D'Amato, to the Senate. Twenty-five 

years ago, Republicans held 14 of the state's 34 

House seats. 

Today, New York Republicans control no Senate 

seats and only three of 29 House districts. Last fall, 

New Yorkers voted 63 percent to 36 percent for 

Barack Obama. 

Kemp's death came only days after Sen. Arlen 

Specter of Pennsylvania announced he was leaving 

the Republican Party and joining the Democrats. 

Sure, Specter was acting out of selfish motives. 

He was likely to lose a Republican primary next year 

to a hard-line conservative challenger. But the key 

money over time. 

So why pass a law that merely validates common 

sense? The same question might be asked of seatbelt 

laws or renewable energy standards. 

History has shown that well conceived laws can 

serve as catalysts for responsible behavior that, once 

attained, will persist on its own merits. 

If this ordinance had been in place two years 

ago, scores of new street- and parking lot lights in 

Sheridan would be much more efficient and far less 

intrusive — probably without objection from those 

who put them in. But habits can be stubborn. 

We have firsthand evidence that more efficient 

lighting could have happened, but did not happen, 

naturally. If there is a national trend, it has been 

steered by hundreds of communities that passed 

dark-sky lighting ordinances. You'll recognize them 

if you drive through at night. 

To avoid building another year's worth of wasteful 

lighting in Sheridan, I urge you to contact the 

mayor and city councilors. I believe most of them 

will agree that we need more enlightenment, not 

more illumination. 

Ronn Smith 

Sheridan 

point is why Specter, a cardcarrying 

moderate, felt rejected. 

The right-wing purists 

who have captured the GOP 

in Pennsylvania would rather 

burn heretics like Specter at 

the stake than broaden the 

party. Or win elections. 

The purist creed was articulated 

by that great political 

thinker, Rush Limbaugh, who 

exulted over Specter's departure 

by saying, "We're weeding 

out people who aren't 

really Republicans." 

Clearly, the purists failed both political science 

and arithmetic. In the latest ABC/Washington Post 

poll, only 21 percent of the voters called themselves 

Republicans. On what planet can you build a majority 

party by appealing to one out of five voters? 

But wait, it gets worse for the Republicans. 

Voters under 30 backed Obama by 66 percent to 32 

percent, and that trend is even more pronounced 

among nonwhites, whose political power is rising 

steadily. 

Youthful Latinos voted 76 percent to 19 percent 

for Obama. (The electorate last year was 74 percent 

white, down from 88 percent in 1980; four states are 

already a majority nonwhite, and six others are 

about to flip.) 

Smart Republicans understand this trend. Sen. 

John Cornyn of Texas, who heads Republican 

recruiting efforts, says he is looking for Senate candidates 

like, well, Arlen Specter, who can appeal to 

independent swing voters. "Some conservatives," he

14-year employee of NSI 

no longer group living director 

Editor: 

Based on the NSI/Sequel Web sites, one would 

believe I am the current group living director. 

Although I had been employed with NSI for 

14 years and was the group living director, my 

employment ended on Nov. 11, 2008. However, 

despite a phone call and e-mail to NSI/Sequel, 

my name/position has not been changed to date 

on the Web site, even after nearly six months. 

The current CEO replaced Cal Furnish in late 

August 2008, and there have been three uppermanagement 

positions between August-November 

as well as the former CEO leaving in January 

2009. All of these positions have been updated. 

There have been numerous safety issues since 

December 2008, and the current CEO and Sequel 

management remains. I have only two questions 

to ask: 1) When will the best interest of NSI be 

considered? 2) Who will be held accountable? 

Ryan Metcalf 

Sheridan 

Kemp preached gospel of inclusion 

Cokie and 

Steve Roberts 

Columnists 

lamented to the New York Times, "would rather lose 

than be seen as compromising on what they regard as 

inviolable principles." 

Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina is even 

more biting about the disaster of "Limbaughism": 

"Do you really believe we lost (young voters) or we 

lost Hispanic voters because we are not conservative 

enough? No. This is a ridiculous line of thought." 

This trend is not just about race and demography. 

Views on critical social issues that helped build the 

Republican majority are shifting swiftly. For the first 

time in the ABC/Post poll, more voters supported gay 

marriage (49 percent) than opposed it (46 percent). 

Five years ago, only 34 percent backed same-sex 

unions and 62 percent were against them. 

Last year, conservative Republicans thought they 

could rally their base by opposing "amnesty" for 

undocumented workers, but today 61 percent favor 

making citizenship easier for illegal immigrants and 

35 percent are opposed. Less than two years ago, 

those numbers were almost even. 

So will the Republican Party now be a permanent 

minority? Of course not. Nothing is permanent in politics. 

After the 2004 elections, Republicans held the 

presidency and both houses of Congress and there 

was a lot of loose talk about a permanent Republican 

majority. Besides, the Democrats are fully capable of 

making mistakes: overregulating the economy, ignoring 

the deficit and responding too readily to unions 

and liberal interest groups.

Volunteers honored at Senior Center 


Two hundred volunteers and guests gathered at the Sheridan Senior Center 

on April 30 for a dinner honoring volunteers for their dedication. 

The meal was prepared by Carolyn Benepe, community nutrition director, 

Robin Wacker, dietary manager, and Sysco Foods with assistance from Senior 

Center staff and a few volunteers from the community. 

Guests were served by Sheridan College nursing students. 

Chamber music was provided by Madelene Anderson and “String Buddies” 

Gisela Terrell and Jeanette Leno-Thomas, and guests dined in an environment 

of black, red and silver stars. 

Volunteer Dora Davidson was the recipient of an original pressed flower 

print donated by another Senior Center volunteer, Connie Archer. 

“Your work is not just about making the center a better place, it's not even 

just about the individual lives you touch — and you touch many — your work 

makes Sheridan a better place,” said Senior Center Executive Director Carmen 

Rideout. “When you make Sheridan a better place, you make Wyoming better, 

and by bettering Wyoming, you make our country better. And in the end, you 

make this world a better place!” 

She added, “You are priceless. It is impossible to measure what you do for 

our community.” 

Rideout gave special recognition to Board Chair Renetta Mischke, volunteers 

of all ages, and the Daniels Fund, which financially supports the volunteer 

department. 

“It is a privilege to recognize and honor Senior Center volunteers,” said 

Volunteer Director Nancy McKenzie. “The Senior Center staff is dedicated to 

making this annual event special, so we can show volunteers how truly thankful 

we are for all they do for us and the community throughout the year.”

Fire casts veil over Santa Barbara weddings 

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Bride-to-be Carrie Beers 

has been planning to hold her intimate wedding among 

winding staircases, terraced gardens and 13 acres of 

avocado orchards at a Spanish-style villa tucked into a 

Santa Barbara canyon. 

Now the New Yorker is worried her West Coast wedding 

site won’t survive a raging, 8,600-acre wildfire that 

has ravaged at least 80 other homes. 

Beers and her fiance have been following the Santa 

Barbara County fire online and waiting for updates from 

their wedding coordinator in hopes the villa hasn’t 

turned into a smoldering pile of stucco. 

“At this point I’m trying to stay positive,” said Beers, 

whose fiance rented the estate from friends for the wedding 

this summer. “We heard from them yesterday afternoon 

and everything was OK — then it got dangerously 

close last night.” 

The fire, which was 30 percent contained by 

Saturday, has displaced thousands of families and 

upended plans for couples wanting to wed. Many 

brides are worried their elaborate designs for a resplendent 

weekend wedding — many taking a year to plan 

and costing in upward of $20,000 — will go up in 

flames. 

Santa Barbara has long been one of the country’s 

top wedding destinations with its picturesque wineries, 

mansions and missions tucked between the Pacific 

Ocean and Santa Ynez mountains. These features and 

the sunny weather lends itself to a long wedding season 

that runs from March to October, wedding planners 

say. 

This stretch of coastline nicknamed the American 

Riviera has hosted plenty of high-profile events over 

the years, including Sir Laurence Olivier and Vivien 

Leigh’s wedding and John and Jackie Kennedy’s honeymoon. 

More recently, the weddings of Gwyneth 

Paltrow, Halle Berry and Jim Carrey were held in this 

tony city. 

Wedding planners and workers at wedding sites 

said they’ve been busy fielding calls all week from 

concerned brides and grooms. Chasen Thibeault, with 

The Inn of the Spanish Garden, said the hotel is now 

being used as a staging area for the Fire Department, 

and the courtyard and pool are filled with ash. 

Thibeault said he warned a groom scheduled to be 

married Saturday at the hotel that he would be “breathing 

in ash” and enjoying “beautiful, ominous sunsets.” 

While some businesses reported a few customers 

having second thoughts about a Santa Barbara wedding, 

venues farther from the fire have seen business 

pick up. 

Patricia Dall’Armi with the Rose Story Farm in 

nearby Carpenteria, said Friday she had to turn down a 

bride desperately searching for a place that would hold 

her 200-person wedding for Saturday. The popular site 

boasts peacocks strolling through lush grounds blooming 

with roses and lavender. 

“If she had 80 people we could’ve helped her right 

away but not 200,” Dall’Armi said. 

While many future newlyweds remained concerned, 

Los Angeles resident Eric Rosen said the fires 

are providing an interesting backdrop for what will 

likely be a much more memorable occasion. He and his 

bride-to-be are getting married this weekend at the 

Firestone Vineyard in the Santa Ynez Valley, which has 

so far been safe from the fire. 

“I’ve just been telling the wedding coordinator that 

I’m going to move forward with this until the police 

and fire tell me I can’t go there,” he said.

DEAR DR. GOTT: About 15 years ago, I developed 

a small bump on the outside of my knuckle immediately 

below the fingertip of my little finger. It stayed consistent 

until about two years ago, when all my knuckles 

began to develop similar bumps. 

Some of them are painful at 

times. 

I began taking 1,500 milligrams 

of calcium per day when 

I was told I had osteopenia, but 

this is the only adjustment I can 

identify in my lifestyle. Do you 

know why these bumps occur? Is 

there a way to prevent or reverse 

them? 

DEAR READER: Your 

knuckle bumps are most likely a 

sign of arthritis, but without further 

examination and testing, I can’t be sure. Visit your 

primary-care physician, who can examine your hands 

and the extent of the joint deformities. He or she should 

also order X-rays of your joints. Arthritis is a common 

ailment, but if it is not diagnosed properly and treated 

with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter or prescription 

medications for inflammation and pain, it can lead 

to permanent joint damage and disability. 

To provide related information, I am sending you a 

copy of my Health Report “Understanding 

Osteoarthritis.” Other readers who would like a copy 

should send a self-addressed stamped No. 10 envelope 

and a check or money order for $2 to Newsletter, P.O.

DEAR DR. GOTT: My 78-year-old wife has focal 

dystonia of the hand. She was diagnosed 25 years ago, 

and at that time it was called writer’s cramp. Her hand 

would only shake while in the writing position. Over 

DEAR ABBY: My husband and 

I had a falling-out with his parents 

last October. We sent them an email 

in December to let them know 

we have no desire to keep our children 

— ages 5 and 6 — from them. 

We feel it is important that they 

have a good relationship with their 

grandparents even though we don’t. 

My in-laws never responded and 

have made no attempt to see the 

children. They do send cards to 

them for holidays and birthdays, 

however. 

While we accept that they want 

nothing to do with us, the kids keep 

asking why they don’t get to see 

Nana and Papa anymore. We tell 

them that Nana and Papa love them 

very much, but are very busy. My 

in-laws live just 10 minutes away. 

Abby, how do I continue to 

explain this situation to my children? 

They have done nothing 

wrong, and 

my heart 

breaks for 

them. —

THE KIDS 

D E A R 

DON’T: You 

are behaving 

as if the ball 

is now in 

your in-laws’ 

court. Continue telling your children 

that their grandparents love 

them, and have them pick up the 

phone and call Nana and Papa. If 

your in-laws are screening their 

the years, it has gotten much worse, and now it is difficult 

for her drink from a cup. Is there anything that 

could help her? 

DEAR READER: Focal dystonia of the hand or 

limb usually appears as a painless loss of muscular control 

during certain movements, such as writing or playing 

an instrument. 

Symptoms include curling of the fingers, involuntary 

flexing, lack of precision and more. Some patients 

may experience tremor. Most cases are present only 

during specific activities. 

Treatment can be challenging and depends greatly 

on the cause of the condition. There are two general 

treatment options available. The first includes medication 

that affects the transmission of messages from the 

brain to the affected muscle or muscles. Another option 

is Botox injections into the affected area. This may 

block nerve impulses to the contracting muscles, which 

temporarily weakens the muscle, reducing or eliminating 

symptoms for a period of time. 

I suggest your wife be re-examined by a neurologist 

or other medical professional familiar with dystonia. If 

her condition has worsened, the specialist can offer 

some suggestions about ways to treat and relieve the 

symptoms. There may also be new treatments or techniques 

available with which I am unfamiliar. 

In the meantime, your wife may wish to try drinking 

through a straw or a lidded cup to prevent spilling. 

Finding alternative ways to accomplish the tasks she is 

currently having difficulty with may be all that is needed. 

Dr. Peter Gott is a retired physician and the author

DEAR ABBY: My son will 

graduate in June from a college in 

the Northeast. We live way down 

south. I am sending a few invitations 

to announce the occasion. No 

one is expected to make the trip for 

the event. 

If people send only congratulatory 

cards, is a thank-you in order if 

no gifts are received? — GRAD’S 

MOM 

DEAR MOM: You should not 

send an invitation to anyone you 

know will not attend the graduation 

ceremony. To do so would seem 

like a bid for a gift. Instead, send a 

graduation announcement. 

According to “Emily Post’s 

Etiquette”: “Recipients of any kind 

of announcement are not expected 

to give gifts, though they may want 

to send a congratulatory note or 

card.”

nice for someone else, it deserves to 

be acknowledged. If your son 

receives a card congratulating him 

on his graduation, he should take a 

moment and drop the sender a note 

saying, “Thank you for remembering 

me at this special time in my 

life.” 

DEAR ABBY: I am a single 

woman in my mid-20s and am in 

the process of buying my first 

home. It is a great house and not 

necessarily a typical “starter” home. 

My issue is many friends and 

acquaintances keep asking me how 

much I am purchasing the home for 

and how can I afford it. I was raised 

that to ask about someone’s financial 

situation is rude and intrusive. 

Am I right, or has this become 

acceptable? — VEXED IN TEXAS 

DEAR VEXED: It’s not surprising 

that someone would be curious. 

However, you are right. It IS bad 

manners to ask people what they 

paid for something. That’s why you 

are perfectly within your rights to 

say that you would prefer not to 

answer and the question makes you 

uncomfortable.

The Sheridan Press/Michael Pearlman 

Coffeen Elementary School Principal Nikki Trahan reads a story

Freudenthal weighs college 

giving match freeze 

CHEYENNE (AP) — Gov. 

Dave Freudenthal is likely to 

freeze disbursements from a state 

fund that matches financial gifts 

to the University of Wyoming 

and the state’s community colleges. 

That’s according to the governor’s 

chief of staff, Chris 

Boswell, who gave the news to 

the community college presidents 

and UW President Tom Buchanan 

in an e-mail last month. 

The governor’s office wants to 

know what gifts might be made 

soon because Freudenthal doesn’t 

want to discourage any giving, 

Boswell said. 

Around Wyoming 

Grand Teton plans 

60-acre prescribed burn 

MOOSE (AP) — Grand Teton National Park 

is planning a prescribed burn on 60 acres. 

The burn will take place in the Aspen 

Ridge/Hunter Ranch area and is part of a project 

to restore native rangeland to 4,000 acres in the 

park. 

Park officials say the burn could begin as 

soon as Monday. 

The area to be burned was an irrigated hayfield 

before the 1970s. Park officials say even 

now, the area is still dominated by nonnative 

grasses and a variety of noxious weeds. 

The area will be treated with herbicide after 

the burn to remove any remaining weeds. 

Thousands of barrels 

spilled at Sinclair Refinery 

SINCLAIR (AP) — The Wyoming 

Department of Environmental Quality says thousands 

of barrels of “gasoline-grade material” 

spilled recently at Sinclair Oil Refinery. 

DEQ spokesman Keith Guille says he’s not 

sure when or how the spill occurred or whether 

any refinery workers were hurt. He says the spill 

was contained within the site and Sinclair Oil 

Corp. officials have been cleaning up the spill. 

Ed Juno, manager of Sinclair Wyoming 

Refining Co., declined to comment, referring 

questions to the company’s Salt Lake City office. 

A Sinclair Oil Corp. spokesman was unavailable 

for comment. 

The Carbon County Fire Department says it 

received a call from the refinery last week but the 

refinery was only checking on the department’s 

resources and didn’t ask for help 

Sierra Club challenges 

emission limits 

CASPER (AP) — The Sierra Club is seeking 

stronger emission limits for Medicine Bow Fuel 

& Power’s proposed coal-to-gasoline refinery in 

Carbon County. 

The club submitted an appeal to the 

Wyoming Environmental Quality Council, 

which oversees environmental regulations guiding 

the Wyoming Department of Environmental 

Quality. 

The club says terms of the state’s air emissions 

permit for the project are inadequate to 

protect human health and the environment. 

Medicine Bow Fuel & Power’s parent company, 

DKRW Energy, says the Sierra Club’s 

appeal is without merit. DKRW says the 

Department of Environmental Quality looks out 

for the well-being of people in Wyoming. 

Researchers study elk 

migration, survival 

CRANDALL (AP) — Researchers studying 

elk in the Yellowstone National Park area want to 

expand knowledge about the influences of habitat, 

climate and predators on elk migration, 

reproduction and survival. 

Even before its completion next spring, the 

Absaroka Elk Ecology Project is presenting a 

tale of two herds within the Clarks Fork area of 

Wyoming’s northern Park County. 

The $500,000 study includes researchers 

from the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, 

the University of Wyoming, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service and the National Park Service. 

They have placed tracking collars on dozens of 

elk and several wolves from five packs. 

Lander museum to open 

LANDER (AP) — The grand opening of the 

Fremont County Pioneer Museum is Lander is 

set for May 16. 

The new building provides exhibit space for 

artifacts that have been stored for 10 years and 

reveal elements of pioneer and American Indian 

life in Wyoming. 

Fremont County owns the museum, which 

has two stories and was built for $2.4 million, 

half of it paid by the county. The Wyoming State 

Land Investment Board provided a $1.2 million 

grant. 

Previously, the museum was in a log cabin 

that was built in 1915 and enlarged a number of 

times. That building was condemned in 1998. 

Land near Daniel placed 

under easement 

JACKSON (AP) — An easement restricting 

development of property that includes important 

wildlife habitat has been placed on 1,800 acres 

of the Cottonwood Ranch near Daniel. 

The conservation easement announced this 

week involved work by a number of entities, 

among them The Conservation Fund, the 

Wyoming Wildlife and Natural Resources Trust 

Fund, the Wyoming Stock Growers Agricultural 

Land Trust and The Nature Conservancy. 

The ranch is owned by the Botur family, 

which put about 1,000 acres under a conservation 

easement last spring. 

Luke Lynch of The Conservation Fund says 

the ranch includes important habitat for deer, 

antelope, moose and sage grouse. Livestock use 

of land under the easement will continue. 

State lags behind region 

in protected historic sites 

CHEYENNE (AP) — A study ranks 

Wyoming seventh among the eight states in the 

Rocky Mountain region in the number of historic 

sites listed on the National Registry of Historic 

Places. 

But the state’s chief preservation officer said 

Wyoming’s record on historic preservation is 

better than what is reflected in the 2009 

Colorado College State of the Rockies Report 

Card. 

Mary Hopkins is interim state historic preservation 

office. 

She says the study was too narrow in focus. 

Liz Kolbe of the State of the Rockies project 

says the idea behind the study was to look at the

Falling prices take toll 

on uranium projects 

CASPER (AP) — Falling uranium prices 

are prompting the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission to ask companies to restate 

their plans to mine the element. 

Uranium prices have declined from $150 

per pound in 2007 to about $40 per pound 

now. 

The NRC says some proposed uranium 

mining projects in Wyoming no longer are 

under consideration. They include some “insitu” 

projects, in which deposits are dissolved 

and uranium is pumped to the surface. 

Also, plans are on hold to revive part of a 

conventional uranium mill in south-central 

Wyoming. 

At one point, more than 20 in-situ operations 

were being considered across the West. 

Most of those operations were proposed in 

Wyoming.

Bridge 

Monday, May 11, 2009 

It is well known that 

defense is the hardest part 

of bridge. It is tough when 

you can see only half your 

army and half the opposition’s. 

It is much easier for 

declarer, who knows and 

controls his whole battalion. 

This week, let’s look at 

some defensive problems 

to see if we can try to 

make life a tad less difficult. 

The first thing always 

to bear in mind is the target: 

the number of tricks 

Astro – Graph 

Tuesday, May 12, 2009 

In the year ahead, you’ll be in the 

position to effect change instead of 

merely being subjected to its whims. 

But it will be up to you to take 

advantage when change is offered. 

Let your input benefit others and not 

merely yourself. 

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — 

Should you find yourself dealing 

with a problem similar to a recent 

one, trade on this experience. What 

worked out well for you in the past 

should work once again. 

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — 

Your natural ingenuity and resourcefulness 

will provide a solution to 

salvage a situation others find too 

tough to handle. Don’t hesitate to 

lend a hand when you see people 

struggling. 

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — 

Although you might hesitate to ask 

for a candid opinion from another 

because you fear the answer, you 

can’t move forward until you do. 

Actually, you’ll like the critique 

you’ll get. 

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — A 

complex objective might be difficult 

you need to defeat the 

contract — as in this deal. 

You are East, defending 

against three no-trump. 

Your partner leads the 

club queen. How would 

you plan the defense? 

North’s three diamonds 

was a slight underbid, but 

he did not want to go past 

three no-trump. 

First, what does partner’s 

opening lead tell 

you? 

That South has the club 

king. 

What is third hand’s 

normal no-trump defense? 

To return your part- 

to achieve, but if you pursue it in a 

tenacious and methodical manner, 

you will succeed. Practicality and 

persistence will prove to be the keys 

to success. 

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — 

Trust in yourself because you have 

the faculty for successfully utilizing 

the constructive efforts that will help 

achieve your goals. Things will get 

started when you make your move. 

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — 

Exercise total control over your destiny, 

especially when it comes to 

material affairs. Don’t leave anything 

important to the whims of 

chance. Only you can make things 

happen. 

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — 

Try to direct your gregarious interactions 

with others toward a productive 

purpose instead of mingling 

merely for social purposes. You can 

equally share a good purpose as you 

can friendship. 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 

21) — You possess a special knack 

for getting the most out of the dollars 

you spend, so this might be an 

excellent day to go shopping, especially 

for a big-ticket item. 

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) 

— When you want, you can leave 

9:00 a.m. to 12:00 AM on Monday, May 18, 2009 at the Gillette 

Armory, 811 East Laramie Street, Gillette, Wyoming 82716-

do that, ask yourself how 

many winners declarer has 

ready to run. Here, even if 

South is void in diamonds, 

he has at least 10 tricks: 

two hearts, seven diamonds 

and one club. So, 

winning with your club 

ace and playing back a 

club cannot defeat the contract. 

Is there anything better? 

Maybe. You must hope

Today, things could work like a
