favor giving UW

From AP and staff sources
CHEYENNE — The House
resurrected nearly the entire budget
for the Wyoming Business Council
yesterday, with one more reading
of the amendment before it goes to
the Senate where a similar proposal
was defeated on first reading
earlier this week.
Both House and Senate also
restored nearly all of the
University of Wyoming’s funding
request for
2001-02 and
funding for
Wyoming’s
community
colleges.

posal passed
the House on
second reading
yesterday
afternoon. “It
went through with two pages of
footnotes (dealing with accountability
issues for the council),” he
added.
The Senate rejected a proposal
to restore $19 million in funds to
the WBC on first reading
Wednesday. Debate will resume
when more second reading amendments
are considered Monday.
Sen. John Schiffer, R-Kaycee,
expects the Senate will restore
some funds to the council, organized
in 1998 to help in statewide
economic development efforts. “I
believe they will be funded,” he
said, “but probably not at the level
they had previously.”
Schiffer said the Senate had “a
lively debate on the business council
regarding outreach to local
areas, accountability, how they
used their money, that is to fund
the Wyoming Business Alliance
and the chambers of commerce in
order to lobby the Legislature,
keeping their accounts with an out
of state firm and bank, etc. The
upshot of all that was to put in
some accountability measures in
the budget (on the Senate side) but
no funding.”
The Senate yesterday restored
$19.1 million and the House $19
million of the $22 million in UW’s
budget cut by the Appropriations
Committee.
Landon said that was about 90

omewhere on Interstate 25 near the
Glendo Reservoir south of Douglas, SMolly
Swan knew she was not going to
make it to Sheridan to deliver her twins.
Molly and her husband, Mike, drove to
Chugwater Friday, Feb. 11, for a marriage
retreat, and Molly began having contractions
that day.
“On the drive down, Molly had a few contractions,
but they were pretty far apart,”
Mike said from the Denver hospital where he,
Molly and the twins ended up.
The contractions got closer together that
Friday night and the couple called their doctor
in Sheridan to seek advice.
“He advised Molly to lie on her side and
rest, and he thought we should come back
Saturday,” Mike said.
The couple began the return trip to
Sheridan Saturday morning, with Molly lying
down and trying to rest. The hope was Molly
could be given drugs to delay labor, since the

twins were still about two months from
their due date.
“We began driving back, but 10 or 15
miles outside Douglas, she started having
pretty painful contractions that were close
together. She knew it was time,” Mike said.
He said their two older children, Chloé,
4, and Colleen, 2, came very fast when they
were born and Molly knew she didn’t have
much time.
Douglas was the next town off the highway,
and Mike drove straight to the hospital
in Douglas.
At least, that was his intention.
“I got pulled over by a police officer. I
was going fast. I jumped out and told him
what was happening and he said, ‘Follow
me.’”
The officer was joined by another
policeman and the two escorted the Swans
with flashing lights to the Douglas hospital.
Mike said Molly was taken into the

UCROSS — Far from the noise and distractions of rumbling
New York City traffic or ringing phones in San
Francisco, seven playwrights and composers spent three
weeks this month at the Ucross Foundation starting new projects,
improving works in progress and sharing ideas, laughs
and life.
The group was here in Wyoming to create a new link
between Ucross and the world-renowned Sundance Institute
founded by Robert Redford in Sundance, Utah.

Douglas surgeon and obstetrics and gynecology
doctor Kirby C. Kirkland examined
her.
“I had one of my girls that was overdue,
and I thought maybe that was who it was. I
went to check as they came flying in and it
was not my patient at all,” Kirkland said,
laughing at his own surprise.
“I was shocked at what I found. She was
about ready to have them.”
Kirkland called Presbyterian St. Lukes
Hospital in Denver to dispatch a life flight
plane to pick up Molly and the twins.
“I called Denver and they confirmed we
couldn’t transport her (so close to delivery).
They were going to send a plane to pick up
the babies, but they couldn’t land because it
was snowing,” Kirkland said.
Time ran out, Molly went into labor and
Kirkland did an emergency C-section since
both babies were breached.
Elusive revenues
Geringer: Special session more likely
CHEYENNE (AP) — As
efforts to juggle the state
books dwindle, Gov. Jim
Geringer said he is ‘‘cautiouslypessimistic’’
that lawmakers
will convene
a
special
session to
hammer
out a longtermbud-
get.
‘‘I’ve
talked
with leadership
on
Gov. Jim
Geringer
both sides about how we could
get together Monday and take
stock of where we are,’’
Geringer said Thursday.
Geringer wants a broader
taxing system that helps pay for
economic support, education
and other services. He seeks to
steer the state away from its
dependency on the fluctuating
revenue flow that comes from
minerals development.
Lawmakers have failed to
establish a broader tax base so
far, though a few tax measures
are pending.
‘‘Most of the bills that are
still alive would tax the same
old thing, so the uncertainty will
remain,’’ Geringer said.
Without more comprehensive
taxes, he said, the state will
‘‘always be in the pattern of,
‘How can we pass the tax on to
someone else?’’’
Strengthening the chances of
a special session is lawmakers’
rejection of a statewide property
tax to generate $15 million
annually. The House Revenue
Committee killed the proposal
5-4 Thursday.
Geringer could call a special
session at anytime, but said he
prefers to call one at the end of
the regular budget session would
build on the momentum of talks
about taxes.
‘‘We’ve probably had as
good a discussion on taxes as
there’s ever been,’’ he said. ‘‘If
I had a preference, it would be
to take advantage of that learning
curve and tack a special session
onto the current one.’’
Leadership appeared split
along party lines about the need
for a special session.
Republicans resisted the
idea, saying it is unnecessary
because of pending revenue
bills.
Democrats said a special session
probably will be needed.
House Speaker Eli Bebout,
R-Riverton, said he hopes to
avoid a special session.
‘‘I still think we’re on target.
We’ve worked our tails off,’’ he
said.
Minority Caucus Chairman
Rep. Chris Boswell, D-Green
River, said he has a gloomier
outlook.
‘‘I think we’re heading
straight for a special session. I
think we’re heading straight for
a sales tax,’’ he said.
“There are no production pressures,
risks (of making a mistake)
or competition here, and it’s especially
great learning from dinner
table conversation,” playwright
Doug Wright said.
Wright came to Ucross from
editing “Quills,” a play he wrote
that is being turned into a major
motion picture.
He was selected by the
Sundance Theater Laboratory to
participate in the Ucross retreat.
Wright joined playwrights Jerome
Hairston, Octavio Solis, Diana
Son, Paula Vogel, writer/composer
Louie Perez and composer
Jeanine Tesori.

Kirkland said it was one of the most
hectic days he had ever experienced in his
18 years as a doctor in Douglas.
“It was one hell of a day, I can tell
you,” Kirkland said.
An ambulance was sent from Denver to
pick up the fraternal twins, Colter and
McKenna, but Molly had to stay and
recover in Douglas until Monday, Feb. 14,
when she and Mike drove to Denver.
The Swans had arrived at the Douglas
hospital at about 9:30 a.m. and the staff
worked straight through until 7:30 p.m.
when the ambulance took the twins to
Denver.
Kirkland, another surgeon, an orthopedist
and four family practitioners make up
the total number of doctors in Douglas.

Researchers
mate human
cells with
circuitry
■ But technology far from
Six Million Dollar Man
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Don’t look
for the Six Million Dollar Man just yet, but
researchers say they have found a way to
mate human cells with circuitry in a ‘‘bionic
chip’’ that could play a key role in medicine
and genetic engineering.
The tiny device — smaller and thinner
than a strand of hair — combines a healthy
human cell with an electronic circuitry chip.
By controlling the chip with a computer, scientists
say they can control the activity of the
cell.
The computer sends electrical impulses to
the cell-chip, triggering the cell’s membrane
pores to open and activating the cell.
Scientists hope they can manufacture cellchips
in large numbers and insert them into
the body to replace or correct diseased tissues.
The cell-chip also gives them greater control
over the difficult process of gene therapy
because they can more precisely open the
cell’s pores, said lead researcher Boris
Rubinsky.
‘‘We’ve brought engineering essentially
into the field of biology,’’ said Rubinsky, a
professor of mechanical engineering at the
University of California, Berkeley, which
funded his research.
The cell-chip, profiled in the March issue
of the journal Biomedical Microdevices, rests
on a long-known phenomenon: Cell membranes
become permeable when exposed to
certain voltages.
Scientists for years have been conducting
genetic research in a time-consuming trialand-error
process of bombarding cells with
electricity in an attempt to introduce foreign
substances such as new drug treatments or
genetic material.

House approves real estate tax; court revamp
CHEYENNE (AP) — The House Friday
approved a tax on sales of residential real
estate, an extension of the fourth cent of state
sales tax, stiffer penalties for domestic violence
offenders and a sweeping change in the
state’s trial court system.
Taxing buyers of real estate was one of the
recommendations of the Tax Reform 2000
Committee, comprised of legislators and private
citizens who studied ways to make the
tax structure more fair and to find new revenue.
Rep. Roger Huckfeldt, R-Torrington,
argued against House Bill 81.
BRASS IN THE DOME

The trombone section of the Sheridan College/Tongue River pep
band filled the Bruce Hoffman Golden Dome with brassy sounds during

He said the risk of infection and complication
is still high, and the twins will stay in Denver for
a month to six weeks.
“The doctors are encouraged with how
they’re doing, although as young and little as
they are, there are a lot of things to be concerned
about.
“We have to be careful not to raise false
hope,” Mike said, still strained from the ordeal.
Molly teaches at Sagebrush Elementary
School in Sheridan, and Mike is a social skills
instructor in District 2.
He said the support has been wonderful.

‘‘I think it probably hits the little guy, the
first time home buyer,’’ he said.
Rep. Charles Hessenthaler, R-Byron,
agreed.
‘‘We’ve been looking for a broad-based
tax that everybody shares in, and this bill
does not do that,’’ he said.
The measure would tax sales at a stepped
rate, with sales of under $100,000 taxed at
0.25 percent and sales over $500,000 at 1.5
percent.
The graduated rate is appealing and allows

Program Artistic Director Philip Himberg discussed
a retreat for playwrights a few years ago that
might cater to projects not yet ready for the stage.
“The work going on here (Ucross) is in a different
state of development, and if the projects
become submissions to the lab, that’s great, but not
necessary,” Himberg said.
Solis said he enjoyed the Ucross retreat because
there were no constraints.
“I’ve been in the theater lab at Sundance, and
this is entirely different. This is all about giving us
space, time, scenery and to work on what we want
to work on,” Solis said.
Solis spent part of the retreat working with
Louie Perez, musician and principal songwriter
with the group, Los Lobos, on a draft of a collaborative
theater piece called, “Song of Orfeo.”
“Oftentimes, in the development process, playwrights
are managed and put in a group for a production,
and they don’t get to work with each other,”
Vogel said. Vogel directed the Graduate
Playwriting Workshop at Brown University from
1985 until 1997 and has had numerous plays produced
in theaters across the country.
“I sometimes worked in my studio ’til 3 or 4
a.m. and walked outside to look at the stars and was
safe. Where else can you do that?” Vogel said of
staying in Ucross.
All the artists expressed wonder at the beauty
and remoteness of the retreat site.
been very supportive of both if us throughout
this. There have been a lot of prayers said for
us.”
Sagebrush principal Art VanRensselaer said
his staff has expressed interest in donating some
of their sick leave to help the Swans get the time
off they need.
“The staff is trying to do anything they can to
help,” VanRensselaer said.
After hearing the challenges the Swans went
through in delivering the twins, VanRensselaer
had only one explanation for how it worked out.
"It's truly a miracle," he said.
Fred Parady, R-Rock Springs, said.
‘‘It minimizes the tax on our working citizens
and it gives us access to that great
wealth that is being parked in our state,’’ he
said.
The bill passed 31-27.
Extension of the 4 percent sales tax,
approved 44-15, prevents reversion to 3 percent
in 2002.
The measure ensures the flow of $90 million
yearly, 72 percent of which goes to the
state and the rest to local governments.
House Bill 60 aims to provide more protection
for domestic violence victims.

percent of Governor Jim Geringer’s
funding request.
Geringer requested $209 million
in general funds. If the amendments
stand, the university would wind up
with about $206 million for the
upcoming two years.
Rep. Mike Baker, R-
Thermopolis, argued the $187 million
the committee recommended
was enough.
‘‘I don’t think we ought to do a
12 percent increase when we have
the decline enrollment numbers we
have now,’’ he said.
Rep. Tom Rardin, R-Laramie,
asked his colleagues to ensure the
state’s only four-year institution of
higher learning be a quality one.
Debate was similar on the Senate
side.
Maximum penalties for violating a protection
order would rise from 90 days in jail to six
months and $500 in fines to $1,000.
The measure, passed 54-5, would also create
a statewide protection order registry
which would be available to courts, prosecutors,
dispatchers and law enforcement officers.
The court reorganization bill, House Bill
43, would eliminate county courts and create
circuit courts, with judges who could travel to
areas with heavy caseloads.
Magistrates would replace justices of the
peace in counties that want to participate.
Ex-pastor for youth sentenced to two
to five years in prison on sex charges
■ Originally charged with 15
counts
WORLAND (AP) — A former youth pastor
who pleaded guilty to sexually abusing two children
was sentenced to two to five years in prison
this week.
David John Williams, 29, pleaded guilty to
third-degree and second-degree sexual assault
against minors. Authorities said he was an associate
youth pastor of the Worland Zion Lutheran Church
when he committed the crimes.
Williams was originally charged with 15 counts
of second-degree sexual assault but pleaded guilty to
the two charges in a plea bargain.
Upon his release from prison, Williams is expected
to undergo five years of supervised probation during
which he cannot contact children except for
immediate family members, or frequent establishments
that cater to minors.
District Judge Gary Hartman considered probation
but decided it was not appropriate. Williams was
sentenced Tuesday.
“We all want to write Wyoming plays now,”
Wright said, and smiled.
“The telephone is the worst enemy. Here at
Ucross, we go to another cabin to watch television.
I find it very helpful,” Blacker said. He spent part
of the three weeks at Ucross working with the writers
and listening to their ideas.
The ideas and discussions covered many topics.
“Jerome (Hairston) and I started a conversation
one day about how you get health insurance if
you’re a playwright, and we ended up having a
very informative group discussion. A lot of us in
this business don’t have models to follow,” Wright
said.
Hairston is attending Columbia University’s
MFA playwriting program and said talking to older
and more experienced writers was very helpful.
“Being out here and seeing the commitment and
passion that drives all of us made me feel I was part
of something bigger,” Hairston said.
Ucross Foundation Executive Director Sharon
Dynak said the foundation hopes to host the retreat
again.
“We foresee it as an annual event, and we will
probably look at the same time of year next year. It
was great to have them here,” Dynak said.
Himberg said Ucross is a special place to experience.
“I don’t know if people around here know what
emanates from here, from this place; all these writers
that have come here and worked and gone out
into the world,” Himberg said.
‘‘We’re having problems as a
state retaining excellent faculty,’’
Sen. Irene Devin, R-Laramie, said
‘‘We’re out in a national market
competing for faculty.’’
Schiffer said he is concerned
funds being restored for faculty
raises may not actually go toward
that end. ‘‘We will never know if
we’re putting $9 million into
salaries, because it goes into the
block grant,’’ he said.
Community colleges received a
boost of $4.5 million from the
House and $5.6 million from the
Senate. The Appropriations
Committee cut $6.4 million from
Geringer’s $102 million recommendation.
Landon said he was pleased to
see badly needed community college
money restored.
Seat belt bill off to bumpy ride
CHEYENNE (AP) — A bill that would create a fine for failure to wear
a seat belt drew strong opposition but survived its first examination in the
House on Friday.
Wyoming is the only state without a law that penalizes drivers who do
not buckle up.
Opponents said the legislation impinges on personal freedom.
‘‘I don’t think you should pass bigger penalties to force moral choices,’’
said Rep. Charles Hessenthaler, R-Byron. ‘‘Exercise extends our life
expectancy ... but should government step in and say we should all exercise
on a daily basis?’’

4 Opinion The
The perils
of homework
to the family
I
nside a cabinet in our living room is a shelf stacked
with board games: Monopoly, Scrabble, Racko,
Pictionary.
We have played Monopoly maybe once in two years.
The others haven’t seen much action, either.
They are casualties of the homework wars. I can’t
quite tell who all the combatants are, but I know my
side is losing.
No one will dispute that today’s elementary students
are bringing home more
schoolwork than the previous
generation’s. One study found that
grade-school students spent 85
minutes a week on homework in
1981; last year they spent 134
minutes — about 33 minutes a
night Monday through Thursday.
Time magazine recently
used this statistic to show how
Joan
overloaded today’s children are.
Ryan
Believe me, 33 minutes
doesn’t come close to telling the
whole story.
My guess is the researchers didn’t count the 30
minutes spent finding the homework packet and
sharpening four pencils down to exactly the right size.
Or the 30 minutes spent complaining about a) not
understanding the assignment, b) not having had nearly
enough to eat for a snack, and c) not having the good
kind of eraser.
Or the 30 minutes spent scouring the garage for the
shoe box, wire and masking tape for the environmental
diorama.
They certainly didn’t count the hour and 30 minutes
the parents spent worrying if they should or shouldn’t
keep close tabs on the progress, should or shouldn’t
correct the work, should or shouldn’t threaten the child
with bodily harm if he doesn’t finish his multiplication
tables now.
Evenings for most families of school-age kids are a
Roadrunner race from after-school sports to homework
to dinner to reading to bed.
Gone are the hours when kids could plot palace
coups in the woods at the end of the street or find
themselves so bored they’d submit to a game of
Parcheesi after dinner.
It’s no surprise that the increase in homework has
coincided with two other documented trends: Parents
began working longer hours because they were happier
at work than at home, and wine sales increased.
America has never figured out what the role of
homework should be. At the beginning of the 20th
century, we piled on the work under the theory that the
mind was like any muscle that needed repetitive
exercise.
Then in the ‘40s, we abandoned rote learning in
favor of problem-solving, and homework decreased.
Then Sputnik took off and we went into a panic about
losing intellectual ground to the Soviets, and the
homework increased again. It subsided in the 1960s,
then ratcheted up once more in 1983 when a
government report, called “A Nation at Risk,” set off
alarms that America’s schools were failing.
The research about homework, however, is fairly
clear. One well-regarded study found that, for juniorhigh
students, homework of up to two hours a night
improves achievement. (But more than two hours has
negligible or negative effects.)
In high school, homework has the most positive
effects; greater amounts of homework translated to
greater achievement.
But the same University of Missouri study found that
the correlation between homework and academic
achievement in the elementary grades is almost zero. If
anything, the researchers said, homework can turn
young children off from academics.
Most parents wouldn’t complain about lost family
time if homework were significantly helping.
But enough already.
Set our children free.

What’s on cable
regulated by law,
market demands
Editor:
Television programming is a very emotional issue. I
know this first-hand from the years I worked in
broadcast TV.
When a program was dropped or programming was
changed, we at the TV station got ready for the barrage
of phone calls. The continuing issue of KCNC TV not
being on the Sheridan cable system is an emotional
issue and that is Denver Bronco football on the tube.
Emotions need to be dropped and the facts listen to.
No matter who owns the cable system, KCNC will
not return to Sheridan cable TV.
KCNC TV has given up its rights to the Sheridan
cable market. KTVQ has exclusives rights to CBS
programming in the Sheridan market. AT&T Cable
Services has a retransmission agreement with KTVQ.
The cable systems of Story, Dayton and Ranchester
can carry KCNC TV because they are not the Sheridan
cable TV market. This could be subject to change and
KCNC may be dropped from the outlying cable
companies.
There is no guarantee that KCNC will remain on
these systems.
I have been assured by KTVQ management that any
Bronco game carried on KCNC is broadcasted by
KTVQ. So you are missing nothing when it comes to
Bronco games. Remember KCNC is a CBS Inc. owned
and operated TV station.
CBS programming is CBS programming. KTVQ has
gone the extra mile to make sure that the NFL Sunday
feed they receive will always be the Broncos game and
the whole game, even when the out come is not in
Denver’s favor and New York programmers want to
feed a more exciting game.
KTVQ has spent a great deal of money and time to
bring a high quality signal to Sheridan. The KTVQ
translator is fed by microwave direct from the KTVQ
studios and AT&T Cable uses this microwave signal to
feed its Sheridan customers.
My “office” has become a disaster area.
A casual observer would wonder if anyone was hurt
in the explosion.
Anything from calendars to catalogs or magazines,
from pictures to greeting cards that I
didn’t know what to do with at the
time, found their way to “temporary
storage” on any handy horizontal
surface in my spare bedroom, AKA my
“office” because that is where I do my
word processing and keep my files.
Top file drawer contained: Catalogs
from L.L. Bean, J.C. Penney, Land’s
End, Eddie Bauer, etc. some dating
back to 1998 when I was preparing for
our trip to Africa. They all went out, to
be replaced by current issues which had
been “stored” on the bed. The rest of
file one I can justify.

This signal is the same quality that one would see in
Billings off air or on the Billings cable systems. That is
when AT&T Cable isn’t having problems. The cable
system isn’t perfect and it’s better than others I have
watched.
Life is not fair, a cold hard fact and we can’t
always have what we want no matter how bad we want
it. KCNC has left the Sheridan cable market because of
business reasons that were good for KCNC , CBS Inc.
and KTVQ. Broadcasting and cable TV is a very
expensive business, highly regulated with ever
changing rules and regulations that have to be followed
to the letter. Rules and regs too complicated to discuss
in any detail in this letter. I know, to many, these rules
seem dumb and pointless but they are there to protect
the broadcaster, program producer and advertiser who
are all out there trying to make a living like the rest of
us.
As before, if you want Denver TV, move to Denver,
for that is the only place you can be guaranteed of
Denver TV.
Please remember what is on your TV today can be
gone tomorrow because of business decisions, FCC
rule changes and a handful of programmers ( New
York and LA folks ) who decide what we will watch.
Peace upon your houses.

road maps, outdated brochures of
trips I considered taking several
years ago, and just plain stuff I
thought I might want some day.
This one is going to take some
serious sorting.

Don’t entertain
property tax increases
Editor:
The increased property tax dragon has raised its ugly
head again!
Hasn’t this horse been beaten enough in the past few
years? This is the most unfair selective tax in
existence. It affects the individuals who have had the
get-up-and-go to work hard enough to acquire a bit of
property, while those who spend it all get home scottfree!
Find another, more equitable, way to get the
necessary operating capital for the state government.
Though I hate taxes in general, the sales tax is the
most fair tax of all. It hit all in proportion to what they
spend. So, if an increase in taxes is necessary, raise the
sales tax the required amount — with NO exemptions.

the one to put them in a dumpster?
My bookcase is overflowing, but I can’t throw good

My word processor and its monitor take up most of

Any helpful suggestions will be welcomed.

Sports The
Big Horn-Tongue River in 2A title tilt tonight
Rams
edge
Sundance
By Larque Richter
Staff reporter
Coach Steve Roush had a feeling
his team was at the height of its
game and Big Horn confirmed it
Friday at Sheridan College, defeating
Sundance 69-63 in the
Northeast Class 2A Regional
Tournament.
“We had a good week at practice.
I just felt good about the kids,”
he said. “They’re playing together.
All the issues that we’ve had are
gone — we’re playing basketball. I
thought all the kids stepped up.”
Big Horn plays Tongue River in
the championship game today at 8
p.m.
The Rams were trailing by a
basket 48 seconds before halftime,
but Jared Shepperd made a fourpoint
play at the buzzer, scoring
from just within half-court and
drawing a foul for the fourth point.
Shepperd had 13 points on the
night.
“He shoots probably 10 of
those at practice,” Roush said.
Senior Miles Kobold came out
of a slump to lead the Rams with
24 points and eight rebounds.
“I didn’t want the season to
end,” Kobold said. “I wanted to
make it to state, so I gave it all I’ve
got. We gave it all we had.”
“That’s where we needed him,”
Roush said of Kobold’s rebounds.
Senior Zack Cummins had 15
points and five assists. Matt
Shepperd scored 10.
“Nolan (LaMeres) came off the
bench and gave me three good
rebounds,” he added.

Bronc wrestlers
eighth after first
round at state
CASPER — The Sheridan Bronc wrestling team is in
eighth place after opening-round matches at the Class 4A
State Tournament.
“We lost a lot of close matches that were big matches,”
Sheridan head coach Chuck Flickinger said. “Jose Sosa
lost in overtime in the match to get
into the semifinals, and Scott Crane
got taken down at the buzzer. We
did have three or four matches that
were determined in the last 10 seconds
and we ended up on the short
end.”
The tournament concludes
today.

Tongue River’s Eagles head to the
championship game in the Northeast
Class 2A Regional Basketball
Tournament at Sheridan College after
defeating Upton 57-40 Friday.
The Eagles play Big Horn tonight at
8 in the Bruce Hoffman Golden Dome.
“We’re looking forward to tomorrow
night,” said head coach Larry Moser.
“We need to win tomorrow.”
Upton plays Sundance in the consolidation
game at 11 a.m. at the Golden
Dome.
Senior Donnie Horn sparked Tongue
River early in the game, scoring nine of
his 24 points. Horn added perfect free
throw shooting, 9-9, to several putbacks
and a three-point goal to lead scoring.
He also had six rebounds, as did his
younger brother, Chris Horn.
“That’s where he’s so valuable to us,
on the offensive boards,” Moser said.
“And Chris Horn played well for us.”
Tongue River’s tenacious defense
and Upton’s poor shooting led to the
Eagles’ 22-14 lead at halftime.
“We did a good job defensively,”
Moser said.
Geoffrey Scott’s point contribution
didn’t reflect his work under the basket.
Scott muscled 13 of Tongue River’s
rebounds from Upton.
Sophomore Lonny Fritzler saw more
time than usual and made good use of it.
“Lonny did well for us,” Moser said.
“He made a big basket when they were
coming at us. He gets better every
time.”
Brent Moser was the team’s second
highest scorer with 10 points — six
from three-point goals. D.J. Dearcorn
had four assists.

Eagles romp past Upton
WASHINGTON (AP) — Prominent sports agent
William ‘‘Tank’’ Black has been accused by the
Securities and Exchange Commission of defrauding
his clients of at least $5 million in investment scams.
A federal judge in Tampa, Fla., issued a restraining
order Thursday against Black and his business
partner, the SEC said Friday.
Black denied the SEC’s accusations, saying they
are ‘‘false and do not reflect actual events.’’
‘‘We will respond vigorously with the facts at the
appropriate time,’’ he said.
Most of Black’s clients are pro football players. In

SEATTLE (AP) — Isaiah Rider scored 22 of his 24 points in the second
half as the Atlanta Hawks beat the Seattle SuperSonics 95-87 on Friday night.
Jim Jackson added 23 points for the Hawks, who won their second straight
road game and ended the SuperSonics’ four-game home winning streak.
Atlanta outscored Seattle 29-13 in the fourth quarter, shooting 9-of-17
from the field while the Sonics were 4-for-19. Rider had 12 points during the
quarter and Chris Crawford added seven.
Down by eight at 78-70, the Hawks used a 12-0 run to take an 82-78 lead
with 5:37 left. Rider had seven points during the run and Crawford added
five.
Vin Baker, Gary Payton and Ruben Patterson each scored 21 points for the
Sonics. Payton also had 16 assists.
Ahead 61-58, the Sonics ran off eight straight points, capped by
Patterson’s double-pump runner over Dikembe Mutombo and free throw for a
69-58 lead with 4:22 left in the third period.
After scoring just two points in the first half, Rider scored the first eight
points of the third period for the Hawks.
Atlanta led by as many as four points during the second period. Payton
scored the last six points of the half on two layups and two free throws to give
Seattle a 50-45 lead at halftime. Payton had 18 points in the first half, and
Baker had 16.

Hawks down the SuperSonics Malone leads Jazz past the Magic
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Karl Malone had 19 points and 10 rebounds as
Utah beat Orlando 96-88 on Friday night, the Jazz’s fourth straight victory and
seventh in their last eight games.
Bryon Russell added 15 points, and Greg Ostertag had 11 points and six
blocked shots — all in the fourth quarter to tie the club record for a period set by
Mark Eaton.
John Amaechi had 24 points and Ron Mercer added 19 for the Magic, who
have lost four straight.
Down 14 points in the second quarter, Orlando drew within three at 84-81 on
Chucky Atkins’ 3-pointer with 3:58 to play.
After Ostertag scored for Utah, Atkins hit a jumper to make it 89-86, but that
was as close as the Magic would get. Russell scored four points, and Ostertag
made two free throws in the final three minutes to help the Jazz improve to 21-8 at
home.
Atkins finished with 15 points, and Ben Wallace had eight points and 13
rebounds for the Magic.
Malone, who was only 7-of-20 from the field, converted a three-point play to
give the Jazz an 82-73 lead, but failed to score in the final 6:15.
After Atkins’ basket made it 89-86 with 3:25 to play, the Magic failed to score
a field goal, getting only two free throws by Darrell Armstrong the rest of the way.
Ostertag blocked attempts by Atkins and Mercer in the final minute.

A-C Panthers face Kaycee

It was the type of game Arvada-Clearmont

riday night at the Sheridan College Bruce

“We wanted to go out and jump on them and

ame outscoring Midwest 13-5 to open the second
uarter for a 37-18 lead with 3:38 remaining the
irst half.
The Panthers closed out leading 51-25 at the
alf, with many baskets coming in transition off of
ast-break lay-ins.
All of A-C’s playes saw quality court time, and
enior Tanner Hart played a key role in his team’s
in, scoring 21 of his game-high 33 points in the
irst half.
Postman Matt Gorzalka also had a big first half

game today at 6:30 p.m. at Sheridan College.
“Right now I think we are ready,” Marton
said. “If we come out and play like that, I think
we will be successful.”
Both A-C and Kaycee are run-and-gun type

because a Kaycee player played six quarters

“The problem we’ve had with them, we
can’t play four full quarters. We play three
and a half,” Marton said.
Both teams likely will play in front of more
people than they have all season in the tournament
format at the Golden Dome.
“I think that it helps us, but Kaycee is fast
and they get up and down the court quite
well,” Marton said. “You hope that your kids
make the right decisions and take the right
shots, but this bunch right now, as well as we
played all year, I think we are peaking at the
right time.”

The Big Horn Lady Rams held Upton to one basket in
the second and third quarters and walked away with a 69-
22 win in the opening round of the Northeast Class 2A
Regional Tournament at Sheridan College Friday.
“Everybody played well together, shared the ball and
everybody got a rebound,” said head coach Dan Biebel.
“Everybody scored except Stephanie (Babione). What
more can you ask?”
Meggie Malyurek and Katie Cox led scoring with 19
and 18 points.
Junior Erin Scherry returned to the floor the first time
this season after recovering from a leg broken at the state
volleyball tournament.
“It was nice to see Erin Scherry back on the floor,”
Biebel said. “We know she’s not up to 100 percent, but
she still contributed.”
Big Horn was ready to play when they hit the floor
and played relentless defense all game. Upton’s Miranda
Materi was the only opponent able to penetrate and convert
— she had 16 of the team’s 22 points.

A low-scoring, intense defensive game Friday ended
with a Tongue River 41-36 victory over Sundance at the
Northeast Class 2A Regional Tournament at Sheridan
College.
The Lady Eagles will challenge Big Horn for the
championship today at 5 p.m. at Sheridan College.
Sundance faces Upton today in the consolation game
at 9:30 a.m. at Sheridan High School.
“I told them before the game, focus, concentration and
have fun,” said head coach Dianne Moser. “They found a
way to relax.”
Scoring between Sundance and Tongue River was
matched throughout the game, as were turnovers. Several
minutes were consumed by steals that were stolen back in
return without conversion until the teams slowed play.
“Sundance got out of their press because we attacked
it so well,” Moser said. “We went to kinda a 3-2 zone and
that shut down their threes late in the game. I thought we
dominated the boards in the first half.”

Normative Services 81-31 Friday afternoon at the Bruce
Hoffman Golden Dome.
The uptempo Buckaroos took control early leading 21-7
after the opening quarter, and NSI never mounted a comeback.
“Their transition game is tough to stop,” NSI athletic
director Mike Gorzalka said. “I have to compliment Kaycee.
They are tough, and they are the team to beat.”
Brad Streeter led Kaycee with 19 points. Seth Richendifer
and Josh Bly each finished with 12 points.
Sam Tillman was NSI’s top scorer with eight points.
“We seemed awfully flat today,” Gorzalka said. “I think
the crowd and being in this atmosphere, the kids were nervous.
I still give the kids credit. The came out and tried, and
this is a great opportunity for them. I know they really
enjoyed being here, and we liked it from that standpoint.”

was hired as baseball’s dean of discipline Friday and will
be responsible for deciding suspensions for on-field conduct.
Robinson’s hiring as vice president of on-field operations
follows the abolition of the American and National
league offices and the league presidents, who had handled
discipline for more than a century.
Robinson, the only player to win Most Valuable
Player awards in both leagues, had been a consultant to
commissioner Bud Selig for special projects and head of
the Arizona Fall League. Robinson, who became baseball’s
first black manager when Cleveland hired him in
1975, turned down the change to become a coach for
new Chicago Cubs manager Don Baylor.
‘‘Frank Robinson is a baseball legend who brings
invaluable experience — both as a player and executive
— to the central officer,’’ Selig said. ‘‘Frank knows and
understands the game from every conceivable angle and
is the perfect choice to handle player discipline and other
on-field matters.’’
Robinson also will be in charge of speeding up
games, policies on uniforms and stadium configuration.

“That’s the game, you go out there and work your butt
off and good things happen,” White said after the game.
“You don’t think you’re going to lose. I think it was a
total team effort.”
White grabbed 10 rebounds and had five steals.
“Amanda carried the team on her shoulders in the
fourth quarter,” Moser said.
Denise Novakovich had seven points, seven rebounds
and three assists. Shawna Klatt had three rebounds.
Moser’s goal for the Big Horn matchup is a “whole
game” against the Lady Rams, rather than a good half.
“We have nothing to loose, they’re the class of the
tournament. We want to come out relaxed.”

He will report to Sandy Alderson, executive vice president

In addition, Tim Brosnan was promoted to executive
vice president of business, one of four executive VPs
under Paul Beeston, baseball’s president and chief operating
officer. Brosnan had been senior vice president of
domestic and international properties.
The other executive VPs are Bob DuPuy, who is
baseball’s top lawyer and Selig’s closest confidante, and
Rob Manfred, who is in charge of labor relations.
Baseball also promoted two minority executives,
making Jimmie Lee Solomon senior vice president of
baseball operations and Lou Melendez vice president of
international baseball operations.
Solomon, who reports to Alderson, will continue to
oversee minor league operations and also will be responsible
for the Arizona Fall League and the Major League
Baseball Scouting Bureau.
Melendez, who had been a labor lawyer with the
commissioner’s office since 1983, was made vice president
of international baseball operations and will report
to Solomon. He will be responsible for international
signings and on-field international matters.

Scoreboard The
Defections
ST. LOUIS (AP) — The celebration was brief for the Super Bowl champions.
It’s been less than a month since the St. Louis Rams capped their stunning
turnaround with a 23-16 victory over the Tennessee Titans. But since the victory
parade, there’s been a parade of departing coaches and players.
Out are Dick Vermeil and most of his 60-something staff.
In are new head coach Mike Martz and a younger braintrust.
Gone are two starting offensive linemen and an important pass-rushing
linebacker, all victims of the annual Super Bowl raiding parties and a tight
salary cap.
So much for continuity.
But it’s primarily business as usual.
‘‘Really, there’s fewer changes this year than last year,’’ Martz said. ‘‘It’s
just normal. You look at Green Bay and Denver, it’s all relative.’’
Vermeil used to note that teams usually turn over about 19-20 players from
each year, particularly since free agency arrived in 1993.
Martz agrees.
‘‘That’s the NFL,’’ Martz said. ‘‘Nothing’s any different from the past.’’

Rockies show interest
in help from the right
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — The Colorado Rockies
have interest in right-handers Brad Radke of
Minnesota and Ramiro Mendoza of the New York
Yankees, general manager Dan O’Dowd confirmed
Friday.
O’Dowd, however, was skeptical that the Rockies
would make a deal with either team any time soon,
adding he didn’t believe the Yankees were inclined to
trade Mendoza, who has been a reliever the last two
seasons but is projected as a starter.
‘‘You can rest assured that any starting pitcher that
is being mentioned out there, we have at least had a
conversation in the last couple of weeks or month
regarding that player,’’ O’Dowd told The Associated Press.

‘‘But it’s usually just, ‘If you’re doing anything, please keep us in mind if
you feel there’s a match.’ That goes on in the industry all the time. We’re just

Describing his talks with both the Twins and Yankees as ‘‘exploratory,’’
O’Dowd added, ‘‘I don’t really see us at this stage of spring training doing a
whole lot. We’re just laying the groundwork for something that may present
itself later in camp.’’
Radke, 27, has one year left on his contract, and he and the Twins have failed
to reach agreement on an extension.
Radke, the Twins’ opening day starter the past three seasons, has made it
clear he wants to be part of a winning ballclub. He was 12-14 with a 3.75 ERA
in 33 starts last season.

Duval, Woods on a collision course in Match Play
CARLSBAD, Calif. (AP) — Who needs another
Showdown at Sherwood?
Tiger Woods and David Duval moved another step closer
to resurrecting their rivalry on a real stage Friday in the Match
Play Championship, a single-elimination tournament suddenly
ripe with intrigue.
Duval, all but cast aside as the primary threat to Woods
after Sergio Garcia made his gallant charge in the PGA
Championship, put the 20-year-old Spaniard in his place to
move into the quarterfinals.
‘‘Had I lost to Sergio today, I would have been further cast
aside,’’ Duval said. ‘‘He had done some tremendous stuff at
the PGA, but I’m pretty good in this game, too.’’
Woods did his part with a comfortable 4 and 3 victory over
Shigeki Maruyama, who said two weeks ago in the Buick
Rockies
Camp
For Rams, upheaval just part of the price of success
Still, the Rams already have lost three players who had key roles in the
Super Bowl run.
Right tackle Fred Miller signed with the Titans, replacing Tennessee’s own
free-agent defector, Jon Runyan. The Arizona Cardinals outbid them for center
Mike Gruttadauria, an offer he couldn’t refuse, and linebacker Charlie
Clemons, a pass-rushing specialist, signed a four-year, $6 million deal with
the Saints.
Another backup, defensive end Jay Williams, got $4.3 million over three
years from the Panthers.
But the Rams think they have the depth to replace them and foresee no
glaring needs entering next season.
‘‘We don’t have to go out and sign a free agent to start for us someplace,’’
general manager Charley Armey said. ‘‘We don’t have that problem, and
that’s a major problem. You’re counting on a guy and you pay top dollar for
him and you think he’s going to be good, but you don’t know.’’
The Rams filled the offensive line vacancies from within.
They matched the Miami Dolphins’ four-year, $8.25 million offer sheet for
backup offensive lineman Ryan Tucker. Another backup, Andy McCollum,

Invitational that he had ‘‘no chance’’ to stop Woods and
proved to be correct again.
‘‘You just want to keep getting better and better every
match,’’ said Woods, who was every bit of that by making
five birdies in 15 holes and never coming close to a bogey in
his 4 and 3 victory over Maruyama.
And don’t forget about Davis Love III, who has now gone
two rounds without a bogey and joined Duval as the only
players who have yet to play the 18th hole at La Costa Resort.

got a three-year, $3.4 million deal to be the starting center. They’ll likely plug
in Leonard Little, a third-round pick in 1998, at Clemons’ old spot.
‘‘You can’t keep everybody,’’ Armey said. ‘‘The salary cap won’t allow
that. But I couldn’t be happier, coming off a Super Bowl championship being
able to solve most of the problems from within our organization.’’
Armey, promoted from personnel director the same week Vermeil
resigned, said he anticipated almost everything that’s happened. He’s already
anticipating next year’s potential problems.
The only surprise was the Dolphins’ pricey offer for the seldom-used
Tucker, whose career has been hindered by a college knee injury and a neck
injury. The Rams believe he’ll eventually be better than Miller because of his
athletic ability, but they didn’t know anyone else had a similar assessment.
The Rams’ basic strategy heading into the offseason was to lock up their
core players. That is mostly done.
Now that Tucker and McCollum are signed, the entire offensive line,
including Pro Bowlers Orlando Pace and Adam Timmerman, is under contract
for three years. The team made cornerback Todd Lyght a transition player
while continuing to negotiate a long-term contract.

DEAR DR. GOTT: I’ve decided to get a facelift.
What do you think of the chemical peel process?
DEAR READER: When a woman or a man chooses
a facelift, the usual motivation is a desire to get rid of
wrinkles and sagging skin. These
facial changes are the result of aging,
during which both the skin and the
subcutaneous tissues undergo a
marked transformation, as collagen,
the skin’s supporting material, fragments.
However, deeper alterations
also take place. With less elasticity,
the inner skin layers sag, and fat
deposits appear under the skin.
Therefore, a facelift usually involves removing
excess skin, as well as “tightening up” the tissue that
has become inelastic. Chemicals that cause shedding of
the skin’s outer layer are often used to smooth out tiny
wrinkles, but they have no effect on subcutaneous tissue
or fat.
Before giving a specific answer to your question, I’d
have to know the reasons you decided on a facelift. If
you are troubled merely by excessive wrinkling, a
chemical peel would be appropriate. On the other hand,
if you are like the rest of us oldies, wrinkles are only a
part of the problem — and a small one at that. Hence,
plastic surgery may be necessary to achieve the results
you desire.
Not being a plastic surgeon, I’m not qualified to
offer specific advice. In most cases, chemicals alone
DEAR ABBY: My husband,
“Dick,” has a best friend who is
married to a woman I dislike more
every time I see her. “Ruby” makes
nasty remarks about Dick in front of
me. Frankly, I don’t understand
why because Dick has made a wonderful
life for me and my son. He
has given us many things, including
a beautiful home — which Ruby
doesn’t have. Among other things,
she calls him a “male chauvinist.” It
happens almost every time they
talk. Dick doesn’t seem to mind, but
I do.
They bring their large family to
stay with us once a year for a week
without my permission, but with
Dick’s permission. He is only too
happy to comply. Ruby says she
“just loves our home,” and assumes
Sheridan Press, Saturday, February 26, 2000
she’s always welcome.
I’m sure it would be a rude
awakening for Ruby to discover she
isn’t exactly my
best friend. Why is
it that people today
think everyone is
their friend, and
they can just stay in
your home because
it’s on the way to
somewhere?
Sometimes I think
they stay here not so much because
they like our home, but to avoid
paying for a motel.
By the way, I haven’t exactly
made it pleasant for them.
Sometimes I don’t change the linen
in their “guest room.” I have talked
to Dick about their staying for four
will not do the trick without some surgery to re-sculpt
the face and neck. I suggest that you seek a consultation
with a qualified plastic surgeon, who can provide the
particular, technical information you require, describe
the procedure, explain the possible drawbacks, and give
you an idea of the cost.
This last point may not seem important, but it is.
Plastic surgery is expensive, and most insurance plans
do not cover purely cosmetic operations. Therefore, you
may be stuck with thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket
expenses. Carefully examine your options before committing
to a procedure, and get a second opinion if you
have any doubts. To give you related information, I am
sending you a copy of my Health Report “An Informed
Approach to Surgery.” Other readers who would like a
copy should send $2 plus a long, self-addressed,
stamped envelope to P.O. Box 2017, Murray Hill
Station, New York, NY 10156. Be sure to mention the
title.
DEAR DR. GOTT: I eat a lot of eggs but don’t eat
the yolks. Will this help my cholesterol level?
DEAR READER: Egg whites are composed primarily
of protein, mostly albumen; they contain no cholesterol.
On the other hand, yolks contain a significant
amount of cholesterol (about 250 milligrams per yolk),
so they can cause trouble for patients on low-cholesterol
diets.
Egg whites are nutritious and can be consumed
without restriction.

days instead of a week, but he
seems to think it’s fun to have them
stay the whole seven days. Your
thoughts, please. — HAD IT WITH
RUBY
DEAR HAD IT: You are blaming
the wrong person. Since you
have told your husband how you
feel about having this couple as
houseguests, and he refuses to compromise
by reducing the length of
their visits, he is the one responsible
for your discomfort.
Ruby may have a point. A man
who disregards his wife’s feelings
in what should be a joint decision,
could, indeed, be considered a
“male chauvinist.” However, if you
resent hearing Ruby challenge your
husband, take her aside and tell her
privately how hurt and angry it
makes you to hear it. In all probability,
that will put an end to it.
DEAR ABBY: I am a 28-yearold
divorcee. I have been divorced
for three years and have found it
very difficult to find “Mr. Right.”
About eight months ago, I was
introduced to someone I thought
was perfect. He is 30 years old, has
never been married — no children
— and is very set in his ways. He
doesn’t smoke, drink or do drugs.
However, he does keep me up all
night. He snores, grinds his teeth
and makes all kinds of funky noises
in his sleep. Also, I find him very
needy and clingy, and sometimes it
gets on my nerves.
I want to try to make it work, but
then again I don’t. I like being with
him; however, I would rather live
alone and enjoy my life. I don’t
want to hurt his feelings, but I really
don’t see a long-term future with
this man. Frankly, I am bored with
the relationship. What should I do?
— CONFUSED IN GEORGIA
DEAR CONFUSED: What you
are describing is ambivalence.
Before you make any hard and fast
decisions, you’d be wise to talk to a
counselor to determine whether
your feelings might be related to
your divorce and/or a fear of commitment.
If they’re not, let this eligible
man go so he can find a woman
who appreciates him and can live
with his imperfections — and you
can find a man who’s closer to your
ideal.

BOULDER, Colo. (AP)
— Investigators in the

interviewing a woman who
says she was sexually abused
as a child and sees parallels
between her own case and
that of the slain 6-year-old
beauty contestant, The Daily

U.S. Mint
to speed
delivery of new
dollar coin
WASHINGTON (AP) —
The U.S. Mint is speeding
delivery of its new
Sacagawea dollar coin to
community banks, which had
complained that the popular
coins were difficult to obtain.
Up to 50 million of the
golden-colored coins will be
shipped directly to small
financial institutions, including
community banks, by
registered mail — the same
way the Mint sent the coins
to Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club
stores last month.
The Mint shipped 100
million dollar coins to the
Federal Reserve’s 12 regional
banks by truck last month.
Individual banks then make
arrangements to get the coins
from the Fed banks.
Teen killer gets
life in prison;
says he's shy
NEWTON, N.J. (AP) —
A man convicted in the
‘‘thrill killings’’ of two pizza
delivery drivers was sentenced
Friday to life in
prison and insisted he is a
‘‘shy kid,’’ not a murderer.
Jayson Vreeland, 20, was
convicted of helping lure the
men to a dark, lonely country
road so he and a friend could
see what it felt like to kill
someone.
Superior Court Judge
Lorraine Parker sentenced
Vreeland to life behind bars
for his part in the 1997 murder
of pizza shop owner
Giorgio Gallara. She tacked
on another 20 years for
Vreeland’s aggravated
manslaughter conviction for
the death of Gallara’s
employee, Jeremy Giordano
of Hardyston, plus 22 years
for robbery and burglary
charges linked to the attack.
Bridge
Saturday, Feb. 26, 2000
On the boards,

Police Corruption
Phillip Alder
Pierre Corneille was a successful 17th-century French playwright
and poet. Before turning to the pen, he tried, unsuccessfully,
to become a barrister. He would also have been a dead loss
as a bridge player because he claimed, “To conquer without risk
is to triumph without glory.”
A bridge declarer is rightly covered with glory when finding
a risk-free line of play. Well, would you hear the ringing
applause after being in the spotlight of this deal? You are in
three no-trump. West leads the spade five. Over to you — and
no peeping at the East-West hands!
South is correct to rebid two no-trump, not one heart. If
North has four hearts, he can investigate a fit in that suit.
Declarer has eight top tricks, two in each suit. The ninth must
come from the diamonds. And there are two lines of play: Cash
dummy’s ace-king; or cross to the king, then lead low back
toward the jack. Which is better?
Cashing the ace-king works
whenever the diamonds split 3-
2, or when there is a singleton
queen or 10 hanging around.
This works out to an a priori
percentage of just over 79.
Starting with the king, then
leading low toward the jack has
a percentage chance of exactly
100! If the suit is 3-2, everything
is fine; only a possible
overtrick is lost. If East has the
diamond queen, declarer’s jack
must score. And if West started
with queen-10-fourth, declarer
will finesse dummy’s useful
nine on the third round.
Don’t live dangerously —
take that guaranteed line of
play.
NON SEQUITUR By Wiley
Astro – Graph
Sunday, February 27, 2000
Goals and objectives which are of significance
to you now may be replaced in the year
ahead with a whole new set of objectives and
values. Your new aims will give you greater
gratification.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)It’s best not to let
an old grudge surface and influence your thinking
today, no matter whether you have justification
for it or not. You will benefit the most from
forgiveness. Pisces, treat yourself to a birthday
gift. Send for your Astro-Graph predictions for
the year ahead by mailing $2 and SASE to
Astro-Graph, c/o this newspaper, P.O. Box
1758, Murray Hill Station, New York, NY
10156. Be sure to state your Zodiac sign.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)Upon occasion you
can be totally impractical about your spending
habits and this could be one of those days, even
though events should go well for you in other
areas.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)You’re known
for your determination and tenacity, yet today if
you meet with even the slightest resistance, you
could slack off instead of asserting yourself
more vigorously.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)If critical situations
are running smoothly, don’t upset the
applecart and try to institute changes merely for
change sake. Leave well enough alone.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)There will be
nothing wrong with your work habits today and
your ability to be productive. The trouble
begins when you allow extravagant whims to
deplete all that you gained.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)An adversary might
be waiting in the wings, hoping you’ll do something
she or he can use against you. Be extra
mindful of your behavior when out in public.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)Thinking ahead
and organizing your work load are two of your
greatest assets, yet today you might not use
them to your advantage. You could lock in on a
bad idea and hold on to it.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)What looks
promising on the surface today could merely be
a thin veneer. Thus, do not take anything at face
value, and do take the time to look beneath the
obvious, before getting involved.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)It’s not so
important how much you can make or how
much something cost, but how you handle the
people today with whom you’ll be involved. Be
diplomatic.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)Having a
lot of good ideas is commendable, but they’re
worthless unless they are acted upon in constructive
ways. Unify your mind and muscles to
work in harmony today.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)It’s fun to
get out and do something with friends, but
today guard against getting involved in an
activity that you really can’t afford.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)Attempting to
tackle several things to which you cannot give
adequate time and attention to each produces
nothing for you today. Concentrate on one project
at a time.
Monday, February 28, 2000
Your bank account could end up being much
fatter by the end of the upcoming cycle than it
is right now. Move in accordance with your
projections for the year ahead.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Perhaps the
best way to influence a group important to your
cause is to single out a key person and work
with him or her to sway the majority. Major
changes are ahead for Pisces in the coming
year. Send the required refund form and for
your Astro-Graph predictions by mailing $2
and self-addressed stamped envelope to Astro-
Graph, c/o this newspaper, P.O. Box 1758,
Murray Hill Station, New York, NY 10156. Be
sure to state your Zodiac sign.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) If you could
use a little extra cash to line your coffers today,
don’t let this be a slow-start Monday for you.
Material opportunities are all around you, but
they have to be acted upon.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Keep the
broader picture in your head at all times today
and success will not elude you. The less significant
factors will fall into place in line with your
general plan.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Secrecy is still
essential concerning a confidential arrangement
you recently entered into. Don’t be tempted to
divulge prematurely what still needs to be kept
quiet.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You possess a
marvelous faculty for making everyone think
she or he is your best friend. If you use it wisely
today, you can shore up an important relationship
to your liking.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Today’s conditions
could have an excellent affect on your financial
security if you do all you can to cash in on this
trend. Focus your attention in this area.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) A modest development
today could have grander and broader
benefits behind it then it appears initially. This
will pertain to something within the social
sphere.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) A shift in conditions
could occur that you may not even be
aware of today. However, it will work to your
advantage and become evident in a relatively
short period of time.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Because larger
issues have an equal chance of working out successfully
as do your lesser ones today, concentrate
on what is really important to you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Be
grateful for what you have going for you, but be
aware of the fact that everything can always be
improved upon. Don’t limit your thinking.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Proceed as
your own logic dictates and don’t allow yourself
to be unduly influenced by the ideas of
uninvolved observers. Consider their thoughts,
but place more credence on your own.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) From time to
time, you get little insights upon which you’ve
learned can be right on target. Today might be
one of those days where you’ll want to blend
intuition with reason.

Officer sentenced to five years
LOS ANGELES (AP) — With tears
in his eyes, the disgraced policeman at
the center of a massive corruption scandal
apologized as he was sentenced
Friday to five years in prison for stealing
cocaine.
Rafael Perez, who has admitted framing
innocent people, doctoring crime
scenes and lying in court, offered a message
to rookie cops: ‘‘Whoever chases
monsters should see to it that in the
process he does not become a monster
himself.’’
Perez was sentenced under a plea bar-
Fire alarm
clips Clinton
speech
WASHINGTON (AP) —
President Clinton was hustled
out of a hotel ballroom Friday
after a fire alarm sounded as
he delivered a speech.
The alarm went off just
after Clinton began his speech
at the Marriott Wardman Park
Hotel for the Malcolm
Baldrige National Quality
Awards, awarded for corporate
innovation. A fire had
broken out in the hotel’s laundry
room.
Apparently unaware of the
fire, Clinton tried to continue
his remarks after joking about
the noise. At one point he
joked that because of the blaring
alarm, ‘‘The Marriott is
not a candidate for the
Baldrige Award.’’
‘‘Could somebody tell me
what the deal is?’’ Clinton
finally asked. An aide told him
it was a fire alarm. ‘‘Are we
supposed to leave?’’ the president
said.
‘‘Not yet,’’ the aide
replied.
‘‘Not yet?’’ Clinton asked
incredulously. ‘‘That’s not an
encouraging answer.’’
But when three uniformed
Secret Service officers entered
the ballroom and motioned for
the audience of about 1,000 to
leave, Clinton calmly walked
out with Commerce Secretary
William Daley.
Campbells
recalls soups
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Campbell Soup Co. is recalling
109,000 pounds of soup
after consumers found shards
of a soft drink can that accidentally
went through a vegetable
dicer, the company said
Friday.
Five pieces of aluminum,
ranging in length from an inch
to almost 3 inches, have been
found in three cans of the
soup, said John Faulkner, a
spokesman for the Camden,
N.J., company.
The recalled product is
labeled ‘‘Campbell’s Healthy
Request Vegetable Beef
Condensed Soup.’’ Some
168,000 cans of soup that was
processed Sept. 27 are
involved.
gain that grants him immunity for other
crimes he has admitted to investigators.
He was also given credit for the time he
has already spent in custody.
‘‘The atrocities that were committed
by me and those who stand accused are
unforgivable acts,’’ said Perez, who
detailed a career that, in his words, began
in idealism and deteriorated into corruption.
‘‘I will tell you with every inch of my
heart and soul, I am truly, truly sorry,’’
he said.
Perez, 32, was arrested in August
1998 for stealing eight pounds of cocaine
from an evidence room. His first trial
ended in a hung jury.
Seeking leniency, he began telling
investigators about alleged misconduct
among fellow officers, contending they
beat, framed, stole from and shot innocent
people in the city’s crime-ridden
Rampart area, near downtown.
The scandal became public in
September. In all, 20 officers have been
relieved of duty and 40 tainted convictions
have been overturned since Perez
began talking. Several hundred more
Bernice Bede Osol
cases are under review. The FBI and
U.S. attorney’s office have recently
joined the Los Angeles Police
Department in investigating.
Authorities have estimated the financial
toll on the city could exceed $125
million.
‘‘We will not tolerate a crooked
cop,’’ the Police Protective League said.
‘‘We believe that Mr. Perez should have
received the maximum amount of time
in prison for his gross violations of the
law ... and the betrayal of the community-police
trust.’’
Officers found innocent
Neighbors express disappointment with acquittal
NEW YORK (AP) — Hours after
four white policemen were acquitted in
the shooting death of Amadou Diallo,
dozens of protesters marched Friday
from his Bronx apartment building to
the neighborhood police station.
About 40 officers in riot gear guarded
the 43rd Precinct, located about
three-quarters of a mile from the apartment
building where Diallo died in a
hail of 41 bullets.
Two people were arrested for disorderly
conduct. No other arrests or prob-
lems were reported.
After reaching the precinct, the
marchers headed back to Diallo’s building,
where candles, flowers, press clippings and
written messages piled up in the vestibule.
Two dozen anti-riot officers briefly stood
by, chatting casually.
‘‘This community is going to be hurting
for a while,’’ said Freddie Montalvo, who
lives in the neighborhood, known as
Soundview. ‘‘It sends the wrong message
to young cops: They can get away with it.’’
A dozen protesters chanted
AIDS explosion blamed on sex tourism, poverty
CHARLOTTE AMALIE, U.S. Virgin
Islands (AP) — Homophobia, sex tourism, infidelity
and poverty are major factors causing a
rapid spread of AIDS and increasingly infecting
women in the Caribbean, international and
regional health officials said Friday.
Societal norms encourage homosexuals to
have heterosexual relationships, and married
men to have sex with other women, said
experts and victims. Also, poverty is forcing
men and women to prostitution, often with
tourists, they said in a dramatic and uncharacteristically
open discussion.
They spoke at a conference organized by
the U.S. National Institutes of Health that is
being held simultaneously on five Caribbean
islands in a high-profile effort to stir debate and
awareness about the once-taboo issues of sexual
promiscuity and AIDS.
‘‘Murderers!’’ as they surrounded a parked
car and beat on it with their fists. ‘‘Justice
for Diallo,’’ read one poster.
Overall, the reaction was peaceful. The
Rev. Al Sharpton, among the civil rights
leaders who led acts of civil disobedience
after Diallo was shot, pleaded for calm.
‘‘We do not want to tarnish his name
with any violence,’’ Sharpton said. ‘‘Let
not one brick be thrown, not one bottle be
thrown, not one evidence of violence come
from us.’’

Fox: No
more
shock TV
NEW YORK (AP) — Fox
says it is swearing off
exploitative reality TV shows.
But the promise sounds
similar to one made in January
— a month before it aired the
wedding of two strangers and
a motorcyclist’s jump over a
moving train.
Battered by bad publicity
over ‘‘Who Wants to Marry a
Multimillionaire,’’ top Fox
executive Sandy Grushow said
in Friday’s edition of The
New York Times that the network
was shutting the door on
the programming genre it pioneered.
‘‘They’re gone,’’ he said.
‘‘They’re over.’’
But Grushow, appointed
last year as chairman of the
Fox Television Group, told
reporters in January that he
wanted to move away from
the stunts because programs
like ‘‘When Good Pets Go
Bad’’ or ‘‘World’s Scariest
Police Shootouts’’ had damaged
Fox’s reputation.

to bring a herd
of cows north to Prairie Dog for $35 a month.
Writing his biography in 1925 for Sheridan County’s Old
Settler’s Club, Griffen said he remained with the Cross Cattle
Company for the next five years except for a couple of brief forays
into other activities. One foray was in fall 1884 when he
helped put up the first buildings on Hanging Woman for the
Wrench Ranch.
That area a few years later became the O.W. Ranch headquarters
of another Sheridan cowhand-turned-businessman, John B.
Kendrick.
Griffen’s other brief departure from duties on the Cross spread
was 1887 when he accompanied William A. Roberts in taking a
pack outfit through Yellowstone, following Indian and game
trails.
He left ranching for good in fall 1889 when B.F. Perkins hired
him as a clerk in the E.L. Mills & Co. general store in Sheridan.
He also served as deputy postmaster that year.
He went to work the following year for Whitney in the Bank
of Sheridan, later First National Bank. A few years after that he
helped organize the Sheridan County Savings Bank and Sheridan
Banking Co.
In the meantime, he married Lula King May 17 (his birthday),
1891, in the one-time community of Carroll in Sheridan County.
He tried his hand at county politics in 1892, winning election as
county treasurer.
He held the office until 1896.
Banks weren’t all Griffen organized. He was a charter member
of Sheridan’s Knights of Pythias, the Country Club and
Naomi Chapter 2, Order of the Eastern Star, a group he served for
a time as worthy patron.
In 1951 the Griffens celebrated their 60th anniversary — and
his 88th birthday — with a reception at the home of close friends
in Sheridan. By then the Griffens, who maintained a residence on
Kilbourne Street, reportedly were spending their summers in
Story and winters in California where their only surviving son,
Carl, lived with his family.
The Press reported 175 guests attended the reception, including
a number of people from First National Bank. Griffen was
then the only surviving member of the group that organized the
bank 61 years earlier.
Six years later, Oct. 1, 1957, The Sheridan Press reported
Griffen’s death at Sheridan County Memorial Hospital. He was
94. The Press noted, “He had been in failing health but was seriously
ill for only a short time before his death.”

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — An
extensive state study of railroad
crossings across southern
Minnesota has given both sides
facts to use in negotiations for the
Dakota, Minnesota and Eastern
Railroad’s $1.4 billion expansion
into Wyoming.
But there is little agreement on
where the facts in the Department
of Transportation study lead.
DM&E’s expansion would allow
the railroad to ship more coal from
the Powder River Basin in
Wyoming to the Mississippi River
in Winona. The plan could increase
the number of trains running along
the line from a few a day to nearly 37.

“The workout here is based on a 30minute

Her gym is in a large new metal building
that contains a large workout space with 20
equipment stations and divided rooms in the
back of the building for offices and a dressing
room.
Music fills the workout space and a
recorded voice tells people when to change
stations.
“The equipment is a new system of
hydraulics and works cardio, muscles,
strength building, endurance and flexibility,”
Wald said.

The hydraulic equipment is designed to
adapt to the person using it, so that the harder
one works out the more the machines
resist.
“It’s like underwater resistance. When
you try to move your arms underwater
slowly, it’s not too hard, but when you try
to move your arms faster it gets harder to
push,” Wald said.
The machines also provides double positive
contraction.
“A person using the arm curl machine
gets a workout of their biceps on the way up
and the triceps on the way down,” Wald
said.
She said the pink and white machines
don’t give the impression of giving a serious
work out.
“Look at the equipment. It’s pink! It
looks wimpy. But there’s a lot of sweating
going on in here,” Wald said.
Wald has 22 years of experience in the

Youth Exodus
Report says loss
of young workers
will continue
CASPER (AP) — The lure of higher-paying
jobs will cause more people to leave
Wyoming than enter the state this decade,
according to a new report by the state agencies
that track jobs and people.
This trend, especially among younger
workers, both reflects Wyoming’s changing
economy and poses problems for those who
live in it, according to ‘‘Outlook 2000: Joint
Economic & Demographic Forecast to
2008.’’
‘‘Population age structure has profound
implications for business leaders, planners,
marketers, and public policy makers,’’
according to the report from the Research
and Planning Section of the Wyoming
Department of Employment and the
Economic Analysis Division of the
Wyoming Department of Administration and
Information.
The agencies base their long-term projections
on state and federal sources, including
the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the
U.S. Census Bureau, to look at trends in 10
industrial sectors, personal income and the
gross state product, according to the report.
The report is the first joint venture of its
kind, said Tom Gallagher, manager of the
Research and Planning Section. ‘‘It puts
together information that decision makers
need in one place.’’

Pastor's corner
What do you choose
to call Him?
■ By Pastor Buddy Eblen
I
have often stopped to wonder about something that I don’t have an answer for, yet.
For more than twelve years, I worked in law enforcement and corrections. I heard many references to God, but most were not
utterable in church. I never knew that Jesus had three names, Jesus and Christ, and a third that is flippantly placed in between.
My curiosity had me wondering, whatever happened to the fear and respect that we, as mere humans, should have for God?
Men and women have referred to God through the decades with awe and respect. For several hundred years, there was a holy
reverence for, not only God’s name, but for God himself.
The Bible is full of names and titles of respect: Elohim, or Creator; Jehovah-shalom, God of Peace; Jehovah-rapha, God the
Healer; Adonai, Lord. In addition to these actual names of God, there were many titles that describe what God meant to those who
wrote the Bible: Shade at My Right Hand; Fountain of Life; Rest and Peace; and several others.
For a period of more than 1,500 years, men from all walks of life penned the Scripture that we now hold to be sacred.
What unified them in their tasks? When all is said and done, what did Abraham and Jonah and Paul all have in common?
The simplistic answer is a deeply seated fear and respect for God. God is said to have spoken to Abraham face-to-face. He called
Moses his friend. He told Daniel about the end time.
Even knowing God on a personal level, they all had a great fear of Him. Knowing that He was capable of great destruction with a
single word, they continued to plead with Him, at the risk of great peril.
They were used by God because they appreciated His strength and character.
My question then is this, “What has happened that caused such a lack of respect for the Creator of the universe?”
Again, I don’t have it solved yet, but I have made some discoveries.
With the advent of the theory of evolution, there came a questioning of the Scripture. I don’t mind this, and neither do most of my
colleagues. However, once there was a question raised about the first thing written in the Bible, the dike broke, and a flood of misinformation
poured forth.
Once we accepted that we were nothing more than advanced slime, it was easy to accept the fact that after death, we become flower
fodder.
Then it was a natural course to arrive at devaluing all human life. Like the nation of Israel, just before they were destroyed in 597
B.C., we are making choices based, not on Godly morality, but on convenience.
The nation of Israel would go to the temple for their official religious duty, then go into the Hinnom valley and there sacrifice their
own children. This seems to be the last straw.
Once we think so little of life, how can we appreciate God?
The converse is also true. When we lose respect for God, how can we care about the men and women and boys and girls He has
made?
Like a great terrible wheel, one feeds the other. We don’t fear and respect God, so we devalue what he highly prizes.
When we are of little worth, we can’t see how there can be a loving God.
Is there an answer? Is there any way to stop the wheel and break the cycle?
Yes!
It won’t be easy, things of value seldom are. Look into the starry sky one night. Instead of considering if there is intelligent life out
there, consider the One who, by the span of His hand, marked off the heavens (Isaiah 40:12).
When you look at the mountains around you, and realize that no film or canvas can ever capture the grandure, remember, the One
who created those mountains still moves mountains.

At the bowling alley last weekend, I
had one of those parental experiences we
sometimes get when we are showing our
kids how to do something new to them.
Sarah and I had been bowling together
only one other time, a few years ago,
and the management was kind enough to
inflate those long tubes in the gutters so
the ball — no matter how off-course —
always remained in the lane and at least
a pin or two would fall.
This time, 11-year-old Sarah was
ready to “bowl for real” with hungry,
gaping, taunting gutters waiting to
instantly penalize either of us for any
miscalculation.
After Sarah’s ball took a couple of
the teacher preparation program and directs
the women’s ministries outreach.

James and Alicia (England) Winn have
been appointed to serve as career missionaries
to the Karis people of central Asia. They
have both worked at the Russian Youth
Camps and together they went to the Czech
trips down one gutter or the other, I gave
her a pointer or two to see if we couldn’t
get the ball to stay in the game for her.
Sure enough, she straightened it out
enough to score some points.
I couldn’t help myself. I gave her a
few more pointers, including a brief
physics lesson on inertia, helped her
with her four-step approach, advised her
on her backswing and suggested how to
set the ball down on the lane. I became a
veritable font of bowling knowledge.
After all this, she started throwing
gutter balls again.

“No.”

“I’m having trouble thinking about
everything you told me,” she said.
“Maybe we should back up,” I said.
“Let’s go back to just try to knock the
pins down with the ball.”
She relaxed and her game improved.
The details of life are two-edged.
They can help us achieve our goal or as
easily distract us from it. They can form
themselves into rungs of a ladder and
assist us in our ascent, or they can

doorways.

Prayer & Healing
Bedside extra: Teaching doctors
to consider praying with patients
CLEVELAND (AP) — The
Rev. Harry Eberts is accustomed to
praying in hospitals with members
of his church. But facing surgery a
couple of years ago, he was taken
aback when his doctor suggested
that they pray together.
‘‘He took me by surprise,’’ said
the 40-year-old pastor of the
Lyndhurst Community
Presbyterian Church in suburban
Cleveland.
Eberts did pray with his doctor
and felt better prepared for his
heart surgery.
‘‘It felt a little odd at
first and then there was a
sense of more going on
than just the surgery,’’
Eberts said.
Giving patients such a
sense — that their doctors
care about more than
physical healing — is the
goal of programs funded
by separate John
Templeton Foundation
grants at the Cleveland
Clinic and the nearby
medical school of Case
Western Reserve
University.
Psychiatric residents at the
research hospital and medical students
at the university are learning
to consider adding a dose of spirituality
along with taking a patient’s
pulse and medical history.
‘‘This is an approach that
allows the physician to understand
their patient at a deeper level,’’
said Dr. Scott H. Frank, who
directs the patient spirituality program
at the medical school.
Just as doctors may ask patients
about using exercise or other techniques
to cope with pain, they can
gently approach the subject of faith
or spirituality as a healing tool.
‘‘The direction the patient takes
is the one we go,’’ said Frank, 44,
a Roman Catholic convert who was
raised Episcopalian. ‘‘If they relate
that religion is part of how they
cope, then one might pursue more
questions about it.’’
In ancient times spiritual leaders
also treated the sick, but the
emergence of a medical profession
created a gap between the fields. In
the Cleveland programs, doctors
and clergy meet with medical students
to discuss the conflicts and
the tenets of various faiths.
Students sometimes accompany a
chaplain on a bedside visit to get a
feel for a patient’s spirituality.
The clinic program for physicians
preparing to become psychiatrists
additionally explores the traditional
attempt by psychiatrists to
explain behavior without regard to
faith.
‘‘We need to help physicians,
residents in particular, to appreciate
religion as part and parcel of
the cultural experience that person
has lived,’’ said Dr. David S. Rue,
“I try to teach students that
the role of every patient
encounter should be for the
patient to have more hope
than they came in with,
have more hope that they
will get better soon.”
— Dr. Scott H. Frank
who directs the clinic program.
Spiritual issues can be particularly
important for psychiatrists
because they are ‘‘connected to
that patient’s inner emotional fear
and shame,’’ said Rue, a
Presbyterian. ‘‘Psychiatrists need
to be sensitized and appreciative of
a patient’s way of coping, which
could include religion and spirituality.’’
Robin Baines, 24, a second-year
Case medical student from Buffalo,
N.Y., said the course material on
spirituality will help her when she
becomes a primary-care physician.
‘‘I will be open with them,’’ she
said. ‘‘I can work within their
framework of coping.’’
And would she pray with her
patients?
‘‘It’s something I’m open to if
that’s what they desire,’’ said
Baines, who is Baptist.
Kyle Henneberry, 25, a secondyear
medical student from
Spokane, Wash., was raised
Episcopalian and describes himself
now as spiritual but not churchgoing.
‘‘I came to the class with sort of
an idea that faith and spirituality
and religion are integral to people’s
lives, but I didn’t realize how
central and how profound the
impact of faith and spirituality
could be, as it relates to
medicine,’’ he said.
The clinic got $15,000 in John
Templeton Foundation funding,
and Case received $50,000 over
three years.
The Philadelphia-based foundation
promotes understanding of the
role of spirituality; it finances more
than 150 projects, studies and publications
worldwide.
The Cleveland studies are not
the first to examine the link
between spirituality and health. A
1998 Duke University study of
people over 65, for example, found
those who participated in religious
activities were 40 percent less likely
to have high blood pressure.
Other research has concluded that
religious people are less depressed,
have healthier immune systems and
deal better with addictions.
Frank distinguishes between
healing — making a patient feel
whole — and curing, or removing
disease. Even a cured patient may
not feel whole, and that’s where
spiritual issues can play a role, he
said.
‘‘Hope implies faith,’’ he said.
‘‘I try to teach students that the role
of every patient encounter should
be for the patient to have more
hope than they came in with, have
more hope that they will get better
soon.’’
He said a doctor should never
push spirituality. ‘‘If patients don’t
list religion (as a coping mechanism),
we don’t teach the students
to say, ‘Well, you might want to
think about religion as one way to
cope.’ We are not proselytizing,’’
Frank said.
In either case, some doctors may
feel uncomfortable discussing religion,
according to Rue.
But for future doctors willing to
consider making religion — and
prayer — part of a doctor’s
appointment, the result can be positive,
Frank said.
‘‘There’s increased job satisfaction
because you do relate to the
patient on a more personal, individual
basis,’’ he said. ‘‘For those who
do pursue this, there is a great sense
of fulfillment.’’

Serbs count 80 plus churches
destroyed in Kosovo bombings
VATICAN CITY (AP) — More
than 80 Orthodox churches and
monasteries have been destroyed in
Kosovo since an international
peacekeeping force was deployed
there last June, according to a
Serbian Orthodox priest.
The Rev. Rasko Radovic, a
priest in Trieste, accused the inter-
national force of looking on while
attackers target Orthodox institutions.
He was quoted in the Vatican
missionary news service.
‘‘The international community
seems to be indifferent to the
destruction of all these sacred buildings,’’
the news service quoted
Radovic as saying.

obstacles. When we are out of balance,
even the most obviously helpful and
pious practices show themselves awkward
and difficult.
It is never a bad idea to look down
the lane and make sure everything we
are making ourselves think about is actually
helping us knock the pins down.
Jesus once told a group of His detractors
that they had gotten lost in minutia.
Well, He said it more colorfully than
that: “You that strain out a gnat and
swallow a camel.”
Camel-swallowing comes much easier
than one might think.
