Bond set for alleged
fawn killer
Judge John Sampson set a $5,000
cash bond for James Mack, 64, of
Sheridan in Sheridan County Circuit
Court on Thursday.
Mack was originally charged with
misdemeanor cruelty to animals and
wanton destruction of wildlife for
allegedly beating a fawn to death with a
shovel in July. The cruelty-to-animals
charge was amended to a felony this
week — aggravated cruelty to animals.
According to court charging documents,
Mack killed the fawn and
attempted to conceal evidence and
wash away blood from his lawn with a
garden hose. He also allegedly placed
the deer on a wire fence to make it
appear that the deer had run into the
fence and died.
Aggravated cruelty to animals carries
a maximum penalty of two years
in prison, a $5,000 fine or both.
As terms of Mack’s bond,
Sampson also ordered Mack to leave
his neighbors and his neighbors’ pets
alone and ordered him to stop harassing
wildlife.
After he was originally charged
with the misdemeanor, according to
prosecuting attorney Dianna Bennett,
Mack has continued harassing deer
near his home on South Thurmond.
Court documents indicate that
Mack has thrown rocks at deer that
were on his neighbors' properties.
Judge denies motion

allegedly killing Gerald Bloom, 42,
of Sheridan in January.

SHS counselor makes appearance on fraud charges
• Asst. superintendent: Steiger ‘will continue to work until the legal process is finished’
By Michael Pearlman
michael@thesheridanpress.com
Recently hired Sheridan High School counselor
Larry Steiger was released from a
Campbell County jail Tuesday after making his
initial appearance on felony fraud charges.
Steiger was released on his own recognizance
and did not have to post bail.
Campbell County prosecutor Bill Edelman
charged Steiger, 61, with three counts of knowingly
submitting a false claim or voucher. If
convicted, he faces up to two years in prison on
each count.
Edelman alleges that Steiger and his former
administrative assistant, Trudy Kay Garcia, 55,
charged $1,634 to a Campbell County school
district credit card to purchase a weight bench,
two iPods and two Amazon Kindles.
After meeting in closed session Monday, the
Sheridan County School District 2
(Sheridan/Story) board of trustees took no
action regarding Steiger’s employment status
with the district, according to Assistant
Need a Specialist?
Superintendent Terry Burgess.
“Larry will continue to work until the legal
process is finished, and at that point the board
will make a decision,” Burgess said.
Garcia has been placed on leave at
Campbell County High School, according to a
story in Wednesday’s Gillette News-Record
Steiger served as Campbell County High
School principal for six years and spent 32
years in that school district before resigning in
June.

A celebration of history
• City Hall centennial marked at 3rd Thursday event
By Kristen Salamon
kristen@thesheridanpress.com
A historic and entertaining celebration
of Sheridan City Hall’s
centennial took place on the building’s
steps during the summer’s
last 3rd Thursday Street Festival
yesterday evening.
The celebration included the
reading of a speech given by state
Sen. Fred H. Blume at the 1910
cornerstone laying for the building,
remarks from Masonic Lodge
representatives, comments from
current Sheridan Mayor Dave
Kinskey and former Mayors Della
Herbst and Jim Wilson, presentation
of the 2010 time capsule, and
an appearance by 2110 Sheridan
“Mayor Kosmo.”
The event began with an invocation
from Michael Ames of
Vertical Church, who blessed the
ceremony and asked that
Sheridan’s leaders be given wisdom,
courage and passion for the
next century.
Local Masonic Lodge
Worshipful Master George
Mathis presented a document to
be added to the 2010 time capsule
and spoke briefly.
“Masons have been involved
for many years in laying cornerstones,”
Mathis said. “We have
deep roots in Sheridan and we
want to continue that. ... Here’s
to the next 100 years in
Sheridan.”
Michael Fox read the 1910
Blume speech from the steps of
City Hall.
“We, of Sheridan County,
have in the past, claimed that our
county, though the smallest, is
yet the best county in the state of
Wyoming,” Fox recited to cheers
from the crowd. “We have pointed
to our fertile valleys, and none
has disputed their superiority; we
have directed the attention of the
Mayor Dave Kinskey reads a list of items to be placed in a time capsule during a ceremony Thursday
evening at City Hall. To celebrate the building’s 100th anniversary, the initial plan was to remove a time
capsule placed in City Hall in 1910, but the capsule was so well buried that any further attempts to
remove it could have damaged the structure’s integrity.
people to the greatest coal fields in the world, lying
in our midst, and everyone has conceded their
wealth.”
City Hall’s actual centennial was in March, but
officials decided to wait until summer to celebrate
the event and open the time capsule, which was
placed in the cornerstone 100 years ago.
While city staff located the time capsule, Kinskey
said Thursday, “it is in there so firmly it is not coming
out until this building comes down.”
Instead, Kinskey read a list of what was placed in
the 1910 time capsule. According to newspapers
UW president: Academic freedom not dead
LARAMIE (AP) — While defending his
attempt to stop 1960s radical Bill Ayers from
speaking on campus last spring, University of
Wyoming President Tom Buchanan maintained
that the state’s only four-year public college still
has academic freedom.
“We currently have no policy that screens or
limits invited speakers, and we have no intention
of developing one,” Buchanan said Thursday during
his annual speech to students, faculty and staff.
The speech was the first time since Ayers spoke
in April that Buchanan has publicly addressed the
matter.
A federal court forced the university to allow
Ayers to deliver a speech after Buchanan tried to
bar him from speaking. The Ayers visit drew many
objections from people, some threatening to withhold
donations and threatening violence, even
though he was invited to speak about education
issues.
In the 1960s, Ayers co-founded the Weather
Underground, an anti-war group that claimed
Quotable
“We currently have no
policy that screens or limits
invited speakers, and
we have no intention of
developing one.’’

responsibility for a series of nonfatal bombings,
including explosions at the Pentagon and U.S.
Capitol.
Ayers’ past became a campaign issue during
the 2008 presidential race because he had served
with President Barack Obama on the board of a
Chicago charity. Former Republican vice presidential
candidate Sarah Palin accused Obama of
“palling around with terrorists.”
Ayers is now a professor with the University of
Illinois-Chicago, specializing in education issues.
Buchanan’s actions in the matter caused some
to question his commitment to academic freedom.
But Buchanan said in his convocation speech
that his decision was based solely on safety concerns.
“I didn’t consider it a freedom of expression
issue or an issue of donor influence,” he said. “I
did what I thought was right, knowing that a judge
and many others, on and off campus, might disagree.”
He went on to say that UW will not attempt to
limit future speakers and that it will allow a broad
range of views and ideas.
Whatever the view of speakers, it is important
that everyone understand that “an invitation to
speak at the University of Wyoming is not an
endorsement of the speaker and his or her ideas,
character, or past actions,” Buchanan said.

Schmitt during his opening remarks
at Wyoming Bio-Tech: Bio-
Business for Wyoming 2010, a conference
organized by Forward
Sheridan Executive Director Jay
Stender.
“Living in a place like this, you
need to have dreams and imagine,
and it usually starts in groups like
this,” added Schmitt, speaking at
The Powder Horn.
Biotechnology is a field of biology
that involves the use of living
organisms for engineering, technology
and medical applications.
Sheridan College launched a degree
program in biotechnology last year,
becoming the first community college
in the state to do so.
Stender said that biotechnology
businesses are represented by an
industry association in every state
but Wyoming and Arkansas. The
absence of an industry association
hurts Wyoming’s ability to attract
biotechnology businesses, he added.

Feds investigating Hitching Post fire
CHEYENNE (AP) — Federal investigators are waiting for the ruins
of the Hitching Post Inn to cool down before they enter to investigate
what caused a fire at the Cheyenne landmark.
Fire broke out early Wednesday. The hotel was closed for renovations
at the time.
The Wyoming Tribune Eagle reports that investigators from the federal
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are expected
to arrive Friday.
Cheyenne Fire Lt. Mark Norford says the investigation will likely
take several days. He says officials need to make sure the structure is
stable before investigators enter.
Norford says the building appears to be a total loss, but that determination
will be made later.
The hotel has been a favorite spot for state lawmakers for decades.

(Continued from Page 1)
At the same time, he said he
expects people who object to a
speaker’s views to express themselves
in “constructive, or at least
civil, ways.”
“Violence and threats of violence
are unacceptable,” Buchanan said.
Last fall, some people attending
a speech on campus by former Vice
President Dick Cheney were verbally
disruptive but did not stop him
from speaking.
Buchanan said after his address
that any attempts to disrupt speakers
on campus will be dealt with
“appropriately.”
“I’m not prepared to define what
appropriate means for you because it
hasn’t happened, and there are cer-
tainly a whole gamut of behaviors
that are possible that range from
minor disturbances to far worse,” he
said.
Buchanan said the Ayers situation
has not affected donations to the
college.
Jim Neiman, president of the
UW board of trustees, said the board
supports Buchanan and no policy on
screening speakers was needed.
In his speech, Buchanan outlined
future goals, including improving
the university’s graduate program,
reviewing its undergraduate core
curriculum and building on its distance
education capabilities to serve
more of the state.
He also said the candidates seeking
the governor’s office in this
year’s general election are strong
supporters of the university.

the present era’s outdated technology consisting
of miniature Frisbees (CDs and

As part of Thursday’s hearing, Sheridan
County Attorney Matt Redle played an interview
with Osborne by law enforcement that
took place the day of the murder.
In that interview Osborne seemed relaxed
and was joking.

friends had gone to Rails and My Buddy’s Place
in Sheridan the night before and the early morning
hours of the day of the murder.

When law enforcement asked what happened
at the 1075 Bellevue Ave. residence in the early
morning hours of the day of the murder,
Osborne replied, “This is the part where I’m
pretty sure I need an attorney — I think — don’t
I?”
Law enforcement told Osborne it could not
give legal advice, but if Osborne wanted an
attorney he could have one.
Osborne then told officers there had been a
fight over money he was owed and said things
“went a little too far.”

During his brief speech, Schmitt told a group of
approximately 50 that regional biotech initiatives
require strategic thinking about where to draw
employee talent and where a successful business
should be located.
“It really is all about making money,” he said.
“Regional initiatives can come in talking about jobs,
but you really have to be patient to do it the right way.
The No. 1 criterion is who’s going to run the thing.”
Schmitt praised Stender and local leaders for
launching a process to explore biotech businesses,
He then told officers he better get an attorney.
During the interview, law enforcement also
pointed out blood on Osborne’s lip and clothes.
Fenn said that considering the totality of the
situation, the first comment Osborne made
regarding an attorney was an equivocal request
“at best,” and that it was not until further into
the interview that Osborne unequivocally asserted
his right to an attorney.

saying a location like Sheridan should identify its
strengths and should be targeting $3 million to $5
million companies.
“Bringing people of influence together with universities
is a good way to get momentum going,”
Schmitt said. “The political people usually come in at
the end of the process. If those leaders don’t get
involved, the state won’t get involved.”
The conference continues today at Sheridan
College and will include a report from biotechnology
consultant Peter Pellerito on the status of the biotech

Senate battlegrounds seeing
big spending on advertising
WASHINGTON (AP) — Signaling the next stage
in the general election campaign, the Republican
Party and outside groups are airing new rounds of
advertising in some of the most competitive Senate
battlegrounds, ramping up spending and the negative
tone of the political season.
With six weeks to go before the election, advertising
by candidates, parties and outside groups will saturate
the airwaves in what is on track to become the
most expensive campaign on record. While Senate
campaigns are dominating some of the air space,
races for governor and numerous open House seats
are also contributing to the explosion in spending.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has the biggest
footprint, spending $1 million in Florida against Gov.
Charlie Crist, who is running for the Senate as an
independent. The chamber has endorsed the Republican candidate,
Marco Rubio.
The chamber is spending $500,000 in Kentucky against
Democrat Jack Conway. The chamber this week endorsed
Republican Rand Paul, and it is spending about $300,000 in
New Hampshire against Senate Democratic candidate Paul
Hodes and $250,000 in Colorado against Democratic Sen.
Michael Bennet.
Chamber President and CEO Thomas Donohue has pledged
to spend up to $75 million this election, rivaling the money
spent by the political parties.
Ads by the conservative Club for Growth Action and the
National Republican Senatorial Committee join those by the
chamber that portray Democratic Senate candidates as big
spenders who have not been able to bring the economy under
control.

Gulf well on verge
of being plugged for good
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — After five months, the oil well that had
spewed thousands of gallons into the Gulf of Mexico is on the verge of
being plugged once and for all.
A relief well drilled nearly 2.5 miles beneath the floor of the Gulf of
Mexico intersected BP’s blown-out well, a prelude to permanently
killing it, the U.S government said late Thursday.
Retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, the government’s point man
on the oil spill, said in a statement that data shows the two wells are
joined. The next step will be to pump mud and cement down through the
relief well to seal the ruptured well from the bottom.
The final seal should happen by Sunday, five agonizing months after
an explosion killed 11 workers, sank a drilling rig and led to the worst
offshore oil spill in U.S. history.
The gusher was contained in mid-July after a temporary cap was successfully
fitted atop the well. Mud and cement were later pushed down
through the top of the well, allowing the cap to be removed. But the
blown-out well cannot be declared dead until it is sealed from the bottom.
The April 20 blast sank the Deepwater Horizon rig and triggered the
spill that eventually spewed 206 million gallons of oil into the Gulf. BP
PLC is a majority owner of the well and was leasing the rig from owner
Transocean Ltd.
The disaster caused an environmental and economic nightmare for
people who live, work and play along hundreds of miles of Gulf shoreline
from Florida to Texas. It also spurred civil and criminal investigations,
cost gaffe-prone BP chief Tony Hayward his job and brought
increased governmental scrutiny of the oil and gas industry, including a
costly moratorium on deepwater offshore drilling that is still in place.
Gulf residents will be feeling the pain for years to come. There is still
plenty of oil in the water, and some continues to wash up on shore.
Many people are still struggling to make ends meet with some waters
still closed to fishing. Shrimpers who are allowed to fish are finding it
difficult to sell their catch because of the perception — largely from people
outside the region — that the seafood is not safe to eat. Tourism
along the Gulf has taken a hit.

ads that link Republican Senate candidates to corporate
interests and accuse the chamber of abusing its

MoveOn’s ads hit both Kentucky’s Paul and New
Hampshire Republican Senate candidate Kelly
Ayotte for their support from the chamber. It would
not disclose the amount spent on the commercials,
which air for a week statewide in both states.
MoveOn has teamed up with Media Matters
Action Network and ThinkProgress.org, two other
liberal groups, to pounce on the chamber’s political
activities. A labor-backed group, U.S. Chamber
Watch, last week filed a complaint with the Internal
Revenue Services claiming the chamber improperly
handled millions of dollars from a group linked to
insurance conglomerate AIG. The chamber denies it
did anything improper.
Other ads that began airing this week:
— Club for Growth Action launched ads attacking Senate
Majority Leader Harry Reid in Nevada as well as Bennet in
Colorado and Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold in Wisconsin. It
also is airing ads against Democratic Senate candidate Joe
Sestak in Pennsylvania and Crist in Florida. Altogether, the Club
for Growth is spending $1.5 million.
— The National Republican Senatorial Committee also
began airing an ad against Bennet, making him among the most
marked Senate candidates. The ad is the second independent
commercial by the NRSC. It recently aired an ad in Kentucky
aimed at Conway.
— Commonsense Ten, a new group allied with Democrats,
began airing an ad in Kansas City, Mo., targeting Rep. Roy
Blunt, the Republican Senate candidate. It cites Blunt’s
unsuccessful efforts in 2003 to insert pro-tobacco provisions
into a homeland security bill.

Congress wants
information from
Maine egg farms
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Maine
will soon see if its egg farm inspections
withstand congressional scrutiny.
A congressional committee has
requested inspection records and documents
related to allegations of problems

including several in Maine. The request
follows a recall of 380 million eggs from
an Iowa farm owned by DeCoster

Opinion

Press SHERIDAN
Tea party puts
GOP on road
to disaster
With tea party-, Sarah Palin- and Jim DeMintbacked
candidates winning Republican primaries all
over the country, it's hard not to conclude that the GOP
is committing suicide.
Or, as one GOP insider put it Wednesday, "we're
going to hell in a tea caddy."
In the short term, victories by former fringe candidates
Christine O'Donnell in Delaware and Sharron
Angle in Nevada diminish — but do not eliminate —
GOP chances of taking control of the Senate in
November.
But, worse, the growing strength of right-wing ideologues
threatens to shove the GOP into territory
occupied by Democrats: out of the mainstream of U.S.
opinion.
And, even worse than that, a harder-right GOP contingent
in the House and Senate — whether in the
majority or not — will make it harder to solve any of
America's huge problems, which will require compromise
with President Barack Obama.
Right now, the "establishment" Republicans leading
the GOP in Congress near-automatically oppose
every important Obama initiative.
With hard-liners such as Joe Miller (Alaska), Mike
Lee (Utah), Ken Buck (Colo.), Marco Rubio (Fla.),
Rand Paul (Ky.) and former Rep. Pat Toomey (Pa.)
bolstering right-wing ranks led by Sen. Jim DeMint
(S.C.), agreement on taxes, budgets, entitlement and
immigration reform — even education reform — may
well become impossible.
It's even conceivable that Republicans could repeat
the disastrous 1995 stunt of shutting down the government
— perhaps this time over health care funding —
which helped President Bill Clinton recover politically
and win re-election in 1996.
The perpetrator of that faux pas, then-Speaker
Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., shows every sign of being so
caught up in the right-wing ascendancy that he's gone
extremist in his bid to be the 2012 GOP presidential
nominee.
To top off calling Supreme Court nominee (now
Justice) Sonia Sotomayor a racist, likening Islam to
Nazism and raising the specter of a "secular-socialist"
takeover of America, Gingrich has endorsed the idea
that Obama is, at bottom, a Kenyan anti-colonialist
who hates Western culture.
Among other GOP presidential candidates,
Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty is already repeating
Mitt Romney's 2008 mistake
of going nativist to appeal to
the right.
To be sure, not all tea partybacked
candidates are so "out
there," but Rush Limbaughinspired
vilification of Obama
is running deep in the party.
Calling him "alien" is now
respectable, and the just-nominated
GOP candidate for New

Columnist
York governor has distributed
e-mails depicting Obama and
the first lady as a pimp and
prostitute.
Warning to the GOP: While
the latest Quinnipiac University poll shows that
Obama's approval rating is 44 percent, an all-time low,
55 percent regard him as "honest and trustworthy" and
59 percent say he has "strong leadership qualities."
Obama's "favorable" rating is down to 47 percent,
but Palin's is 31 percent and the tea party's is 30 percent.
Only 12 percent of Americans say they belong to
the movement.
Approval of the Democratic Party's performance in
Congress is down to 30 percent — 19 percent among
independent voters.
But approval of Republicans in Congress is 29 percent
overall and 23 percent among independents.
Democrats have sunk so low since 2006 and 2008
because they have gone too far left, proposing biggovernment
solutions to every problem and swelling
the national debt.
A Gallup poll in June showed that 49 percent of
voters thought the Democratic Party "too liberal,"
while 38 percent thought it "just right." Forty percent
thought the GOP "too conservative" and 41 percent
"just right."
What's going to happen when it sinks in with the
public that Republicans want to make all of President
George W. Bush's tax cuts permanent, adding $3.9 trillion
to the national debt? It may not hurt them in this
election, but eventually, it will.
Of course, as Democrats lose marginal seats, their
ranks will become more solidly liberal. That won't
matter much if they lose control of the House, but it
will further polarize American politics.
Two very bright conservatives, New York Times
columnist David Brooks and Peter Berkowitz of
Stanford University's Hoover Institution, have warned
recently that conservatives need to remember that, if
elected, they have a responsibility to govern and solve
problems, not just oppose government.
"Those responsibilities," Berkowitz wrote in the
Wall Street Journal, "include putting people to work
and reigniting the economy — and devising alternatives
to Obamacare ... to provide affordable and decent
health care."
As Brooks wrote this week, "if the current
Republican Party regards every new bit of government
action as a step on the road to serfdom, then the party
will be taking (the) long, mainstream tradition (of government
action dating to George Washington and
Abraham Lincoln) and exiling it from the GOP."
The GOP is heading out of the mainstream. The
disastrous examples of Barry Goldwater in 1964 and
George McGovern in 1972 should be instructive.

U.S. businesses typically communicate in English.
One of the many strengths of this country is its outstanding

All roadside signs, instructions, business correspondence,

It can be beneficial for people to be fluent in a second
language such as Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, etc. Our
country needs expertise in foreign languages, but this
should be subservient to fluency in English.
U.S. citizens who cannot speak and write English as
a primary language are probably placing themselves at a
disadvantage on the ladder to success in this country.
We should not promote language diversity, because
it will lead to divisiveness, the same type of divisiveness

‘Public Pulse’ caller needs
a history lesson
Editor:
On Sept. 10 a lady called the “Public Pulse” radio
show admonishing us to “not call them Muslims,”
rather “call them terrorists.”
To that lady and the rest of the politically correct
crowd, some history is in order.
At about A.D. 610, a man named Muhammad
received a visitation from what he described as an
angel. The religion of Islam was born.
By A.D. 622, Muhammad and his new religion
were rejected at Mecca. He fled with about 200 followers
to a place called Yathrib, which is presentday
Medina, or the “city of the prophet.”
At Medina, Muhammad formed the first Islamic
theocracy and a military base solely for the purpose
of attacking the army of Mecca.
A.D. 622 ... the murdering begins. A.D. 2010, the
murdering continues!
Since the 9/11 attack we have witnessed terrorists
from all over the world. They all seem to share a
common trait ... all are Muslims!
To call them anything other than Muslim terrorists
does a disservice to the truth.

Heritage Towers a busy place
Editor:
Long before I became a resident of Heritage
Towers, I knew this facility to have a special place in
the hearts of many in this community.
From our able administrator, who has won a number
of awards for his work, to the family atmosphere, it
has become a special place to many.
The Towers dining room and kitchen had, for many
years, been leased to the Senior Center, so it was to
everyone’s dismay when the center opted to close the
Street. That means the entire
street from Smith to Dow will
be removed and rebuilt.
This project will impact
every senior in Heritage
Towers, everyone who goes to
the YMCA, everybody who
uses Whitney Commons,
countless citizens who commute
through this area every
day, and of course all of the
neighbors. We believe that it is
of paramount importance to
listen to what those people
have to say before we design
that project.
Similarly, Wyoming
Avenue and Park Street are both in bad
shape. The utilities beneath those streets
also need to be replaced. The sidewalks
are heaving and the streets are crumbling.
Again, we are committed to listening
to the people in this neighborhood
and gathering their vision for the
design.

proper lighting front and back that can be seen by a

Your lighting is able to be seen at least two blocks

In the end these projects and our
governance will be better because we
have a city staff, a mayor and a council
who understand the importance of
reaching out and listening.
The city will spend millions of dollars
on these projects. We believe that
the investment of time and resources to
ensure that the taxpayer voice is heard is
a prudent and wise investment.
Of course, with as many diverse
viewpoints as there are in Sheridan —
and with budget limits — not every
desire can be accommodated. Nobody
expects that. Still, it's nice to be asked
and to be listened to.
Less formally, but equally as important:
Each day brings letters, e-mail,
phone calls and casual conversation
with citizens’ views. I enjoy opportunities
to visit with clubs, civic or church
groups or coffee clutches and look forward
to invitations to do so.
I'm always happy to give a talk. But,
it's also nice to be invited to just listen
and learn.

In defense of Col. Carrington’s wives
In 2008 a young author and
Ph.D. candidate, Shannon D.
Smith, published a book, “Give
Me Eighty Men: Women and the
Myth of the Fetterman Fight.”
The title references the now
famous quote, probably inaccurately
attributed to Capt.
Fetterman at Fort Phil Kearny, in
1866, “Give me 80 men and I'll
ride through the whole Sioux
Nation.”
The author includes two
premises — first, that possibly the order was
never given directly to Fetterman himself,
which Post Cmdr. Henry B. Carrington stated
he gave, for Fetterman to relieve the wood
wagons from Indian attack, return to the fort,
and not to pursue the Indians over Lodge Trail
Ridge.
Crossing the ridge was an action that led
Fetterman’s entire command of 80 men to their
deaths at the hands of Lakota, Cheyenne and
Arapaho warriors at the Fetterman battle near
Fort Phil Kearny in 1866.
The second supposition was that the two
Carrington wives, Margaret and later Frances,
writing in defense of their husband, perverted
the historical record, making Fetterman a
scapegoat.
The book's dust jacket and Introduction set
the stage: “Women controlled and manipulated
the history of the Fetterman fight using the
same tactics as Elizabeth Custer,” and, “For
fifty years women deliberately cast Fetterman
as the boastful and disobedient character he
remains today.”
However, while Elizabeth Custer was wid-

owed young and spent the last 50-plus years
of her life defending her husband, Margaret
Carrington died of TB about three years after
she and her husband left Fort Phil Kearny.
Carrington’s second wife, Frances, (widow
of Capt. Grummond, who died on Fetterman
Ridge) never wrote a word, to my knowledge,
until more than 40 years later on their
return to Sheridan to dedicate the Fetterman
monument.
In her book, “My Army Life,” she does
defend both her husband and Capt. Ten
Eyck, who by that time clearly needed
defending.
Margaret's extraordinary book, still in
publication as “Absaraka: Home of the
Crows,” has long been considered among the
best primary source material available on the
events leading up to, and about, Fort Phil
Kearny. It was written first as a daily journal,
suggested by Gen. Sherman, and kept from
the time Carrington’s command left Fort
Kearny, Neb., until after it left Fort Phil
Kearny in January of 1867.

about one-tenth of the book, thus
it was hardly written specifically
to defend her husband.
As to whether Carrington
gave the famous order, historian
John McDermott says that the
evidence in the affirmative is
irrefutable, and that he documents
it in his new book, “Red
Cloud's War,” in process of publication,
in two volumes, by the
University of Oklahoma Press.
Also, the two women are presented
as having trashed Fetterman’s reputation,
when in fact in the last chapter
Margaret wrote two full pages, mostly highly
complimentary of Fetterman, and even
after the disastrous battle, while clearly
believing him to have disobeyed orders, she
generously describing him as a “brave soldier.”
She wrote, “In life he was a gentleman, in
death mourned and honored.”
On the other hand, Smith's book well
documents how Col. Henry Carrington himself,
though exonerated of responsibility at
his hearing at Fort McPherson following the
battle, was nevertheless made a scapegoat by
the military and the politicians for many
years after.
I learned much from those accounts. I
also admire the author's first sentence, “At
the most fundamental level, the Fetterman
battle is a story of a fight over land.”

Survey: Midwest, Plains economy remains weak
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A survey
of rural bankers in 10 Midwest
and Plains states suggests the rural
economy will remain weak in the
months ahead despite the strength
of farming.
The overall Rural Mainstreet
index remained in negative territory
in September but increased
slightly to 47.6 from August’s 46,
according to the report released
Thursday. Any score below 50 suggests
the economy will contract
over the next six months.
“While the farm sector is experiencing
healthy growth, Rural
Mainstreet businesses continue to
report waning economic fortunes,”
Creighton University economist
Ernie Goss said.
T he lowest rate in town on
any 2005 model or newer
Bankers from Colorado,
Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota,
Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota,
South Dakota and Wyoming were
surveyed for the report.
Goss and Bill McQuillan, chief
executive of CNB Community
Bank of Greeley, Neb. oversee the
survey.
The farmland price index grew
to 57.7 in September from August’s
55.3.
“The general economy is still
struggling, but the crop and livestock
producers are looking at an
exceptional year,” said Kathy
Thuman, president of Farmers
State Bank in Maywood, Neb.
The farm equipment sales index
increased to 56.2 in September
from August’s 52.7 and the
September hiring index ticked
higher to 46 from 45.9 in August.
However, the retail sales index
remained weak at 45.2 in
September, though that figure is
better than August’s 40.2.
The home sales index increased
to 47.6 in September from August’s
38.8.
But the bankers are optimistic
about the economy. The confidence
index, which reflects bankers’
expectations for the next six
months, jumped to 54.9 in
September from August’s 46.
All three bank indicators —
loan volumes, checking deposits
and CDs — were at or above 50 for
a seventh straight month.
U.S. fights order to release Gitmo detainee
WASHINGTON (AP) — The government is asking
an appeals court to throw out a judge’s order to release
a Guantanamo Bay prisoner accused of recruiting Sept.
11 hijackers.
The 9/11 commission report described Mohamedou
Ould Salahi as a significant al-Qaida operative who
instructed hijackers how to reach Afghanistan to train
for jihad. Salahi says he falsely admitted under abusive
interrogation to arranging travel for some of the hijackers.
Salahi has been held without charge for eight years
at the Navy-run prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and
remains there as lawyers argued over his release before
a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals in
Washington today.
U.S. District Judge James Robertson ruled this
spring that the evidence against Salahi was “tainted by
coercion and mistreatment” and based on classified
material that could not support a criminal prosecution.
“The government’s case relies heavily on statements
made by Salahi himself, but the reliability of those
statements — most of them now retracted by Salahi —
is open to question,” the judge wrote in his order.
Justice Department attorneys argue that Salahi was
a recruiter for al-Qaida who in October 1999 encouraged
Ramzi bin al Shibh, Marwan al Shehhi and Ziad
Jarrah to join. Al Shehhi and Jarrah became two of the
hijackers and Bin al Shibh helped coordinate the 9/11
plot.
Salahi, born in 1970, admitted that while he was an
electrical engineering student at the University of
Duisberg in Germany in 1990, he traveled to
Afghanistan and trained to fight jihad against communists.
But he argued that he stopped fighting for al-
Qaida in 1992 before the organization turned against
the United States.
He was arrested in his home country of Mauritania
18 days after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. His
lawyers say he was sent to Jordan and abused for eight
months before being moved to Bagram Air Field in
Afghanistan and finally to Guantanamo in 2002.
Robertson said Salahi was subjected to “extensive
and severe mistreatment” at Guantanamo from mid-
June 2003 to September 2003.

Sheridan man pleads not guilty
to drug-related charges
Jason Lyles, 36, of Sheridan pleaded not guilty
Thursday in 4th Judicial District Court to delivery of
methamphetamine and endangering children.
Lyles has been charged with one count of delivery of
methamphetamine, which carries a maximum penalty of 20
years in prison, a $10,000 fine or both, and one county of
felony child endangerment. The child-endangerment charge
carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison, a $5,000
fine or both.
Lyles was arrested last month following an investigation
by the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation.
According to court charging documents, two confidential
informants told police they had purchased methamphetamines
from Lyles on multiple occasions and that children
were present in the home at the time of the sales. The
informants also told law enforcement that methamphetamines
were used in the home while children were present.
A search warrant of Lyles’ home was executed Aug. 17
by DCI agents and Sheridan police officers. Law enforcement
found baggies containing trace amounts of suspected
methamphetamine, a digital scale, suspected “drug-owe”
sheets, and drug-related paraphernalia.
Lyles’ trial has been set for Feb. 23, and a pretrial conference
is scheduled Jan. 25 at 10:30 a.m.
Sheridan teen pleads guilty
to vehicle burglaries
Joshua Hairston, 17, of Sheridan pleaded guilty to three
counts of felony burglary in 4th Judicial District Court on
Thursday for a string of vehicle burglaries in July.
Hairston was originally charged with five counts of
felony burglary, one count of felony wrongful taking of
property, and two misdemeanor counts of wrongful taking
of property.
Pursuant to a plea agreement Thursday, Hairston entered
a guilty plea for three of the felony burglary counts in
exchange for a recommended sentence of two-and-a-half to
four years in prison for each of the three counts to run concurrently.
Hairston would also be recommended for the youthful
offender boot camp program, and if he completes that program
successfully, a recommendation would be made to
suspend the rest of his sentence, and he could be placed on
supervised probation.

guilty Thursday in 4th Judicial District Court to one count
of felony burglary, one count of felony wrongful taking of
property, and one count of misdemeanor attempted larceny.
French has been accused of burglarizing Mountain
West Electric and Mike's Electric in Sheridan last month.
The felony charges each carry maximum penalties of
10 years in prison, a $10,000 fine or both. The misdemeanor
attempted larceny charge carries a maximum
penalty of six months in prison, a $750 fine or both.
French's trial has been set for Feb. 23.
Alleged kidnapper changes plea
Kevin Fuller, 48, of Great Falls, Mont., pleaded guilty
to felonious restraint in 4th Judicial District Court on
Thursday.
Fuller originally pleaded not guilty to kidnapping and
was set to begin trial in October.
Fuller changed his plea pursuant to a plea agreement
that lowered the charge to felonious restraint, a felony that
carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison, a
$10,000 fine or both. Kidnapping carries a maximum
penalty of 20 years in prison, a $10,000 fine or both.
Under the plea agreement, prosecuting attorney
Christopher LaRosa will recommend a two- to four-year
prison sentence, and Fuller can withdraw his plea if the
court does not accept the recommended sentence. Fuller
would also receive credit for time served, which is more
than one year. He was arrested in August 2009.
Fuller, who was slow to respond to questions asked of
him in court Thursday, said that while he did not agree
with the statements that led to his arrest, he did not want to
face a jury trial and a maximum penalty of 20 years in
prison.
“I just want to be treated fairly,” he stated.
Fuller’s sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 22 at 11:30
a.m.

Truck hits parade float in Crow
Agency, injures several children
BILLINGS (AP) — Officials say several third-graders were injured in
Crow Agency when a pickup truck hit the float they were riding on before
a parade meant to celebrate Native American Week.
Gene Grose, principal of Crow School, says the pickup hit a decorated
flatbed carrying about 40 students Thursday morning. Witnesses say
they think the pickup was traveling at about 35 mph.
The Billings Gazette reports that four ambulances, along with school
buses, took the injured children to a Crow Agency hospital, where Grose
says they were treated for minor “bumps and bruises.” It is unclear how
many students were injured.
The principal says the parade, along with a feast for parents and a
mini-powwow planned for the day were canceled because “there are too
many traumatized kids and adults.”

Sheridan area resident Jerry Lee Larsen, 45, was arrested after a traffic
crash Thursday night at the 3rd Thursday Street Festival.
According to a Sheridan Police Department news release, Larsen
allegedly crashed his car into barricades at Main Street and Alger Avenue
at approximately 7:39 p.m. The temporary barricades had been erected
by the city to detour traffic around the final 3rd Thursday event of 2010.
One female bystander was apparently injured by the displaced barricade
and transported to Sheridan Memorial Hospital. She was treated and
released.
Larsen was charged with driving while under the influence. He was

Consultant:Wyo. should keep current
education funding model
CASPER (AP) — A consultant
says Wyoming should keep its current
public education funding model
despite questions about the staffing
of administrators in school districts.
Consultant Larry Picus spoke to
the Legislature’s Select Committee
on School Finance Recalibration on
Thursday in Casper.
The state Education Department
says several districts employed
more central office staff members
than recommended in 2008-09.
Gov. Dave Freudenthal called attention
to the differences earlier this
summer.
Picus says the staff numbers
were inflated because positions
funded with federal money were
included in the totals.
The Casper Star-Tribune reports
that Picus also found instances
where individuals were incorrectly
labeled office staff.

Colorado man charged with arson at Jackson motel
JACKSON (AP) — Teton County prosecutors
charged a Colorado man with first-degree arson
on Thursday, saying he intentionally started a fire
in a crowded Jackson motel.
Charles William Millen, 57, of Longmont,
Colo., told Teton County investigators that he
soaked a Bible with an accelerant and left it burning
under his bed early Wednesday morning at the
Teton Gables Motel, according to court records.
The Jackson Hole News & Guide reports that
40 people evacuated the motel but no one was
injured.
Damage was limited mainly to Millen’s room.
He was arrested in Sublette County near Pinedale
after the fire.
The Longmont (Colo.) Times-Call reports
that Colorado authorities also want Millen in
connection with a Sunday fire at his home in
Longmont.
Teton County Attorney Steve Weichman on
Thursday filed a charge of first-degree arson
against Millen in circuit court.
Millen remains at the Teton County jail and
declined on Thursday to come to the phone to
speak to a reporter.
Investigator Slade Ross with the Teton
County Sheriffs Office wrote an affidavit filed in
court to support the charge against Millen.
According to Ross’s affidavit, Deputy Sheriff
Kurt Drumheller responded to the motel fire at
about 1:45 a.m. Wednesday.
Drumheller determined that the room where
the fire started was registered to Millen.
Drumheller also recognized Millen’s address and
automobile description from an earlier request
from Wyoming Highway Patrol asking law
enforcement to be on the lookout for him in
regard to the Longmont fire.
Drumheller put out a request for Wyoming
law enforcement to watch for Millen. A deputy
with the Sublette County sheriff’s office pulled
him over near Pinedale just after 3 a.m.

UW
linebacker
doubles as
kick returner
LARAMIE (AP) — A player
who returns kickoffs usually is one
of the fastest and more athletic
guys on a football team.
Sophomore Ghaali Muhammad
is exactly that for the University of
Wyoming.
He also happens to be a linebacker.
“I got a lot of calls from back
home and it was like ‘you’re playinglinebacker
and
returning
kicks,
too?”’ he
said.
Not

Muhammad

team lead
Ghaali
Muhammad
UW
Linebacker
with 10.5
tackles per
game from
his outside
linebacker
position, he
leads the
Cowboys and is third in the
Mountain West Conference in kickoff
returns with a 23.6-yard average.
Muhammad’s 141 yards is
second in the league, as is his long
of 37 yards in the opener against
Southern Utah.
“It’s not surprising knowing
him,” UW senior free safety Chris
Prosinski said.
Muhammad was a running back
and returned kicks in high school
in St. Joseph, Mo., and was recruited
to UW as an athlete.
He played outside linebacker
and on special teams last season as
a true freshman. He scored a touchdown
against No. 2 Texas on a
blocked punt and had the gameclinching
interception in the regular-season
finale at Colorado State
that earned UW a bowl berth.
Senior cornerback Marcell
Gipson and sophomore running
back Alvester Alexander were
UW’s top two kickoff returners last
season. But mostly to keep those
two healthy at their respective positions,
coach Dave Christensen gave
Muhammad a shot in fall camp and
he ran with it ... literally.
“He’ll continue to do it and he’s
done a nice job with it,”
Christensen said. “He’s made some
good returns, and we have to do a
better job of blocking. ... He’s got
good speed and he hits it well.”
Muhammad thinks he’s done a
good job so far, but not good
enough.
“I’m not going to be satisfied
until I take one to the house,” he
said.
Muhammad isn’t the only linebacker
highly involved in UW’s
kicking game. Junior backup middle
linebacker Oliver Schober is a
23-year-old first-year player from
Germany who handles kickoffs.
Broncos’ biggest concern: not-so-special teams
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Tim Tebow ran right into
the pile twice in his NFL debut. Correll Buckhalter fumbled
away a promising drive and Denver’s defense didn’t get to
David Garrard enough to prevent him from having a careerhigh
passer rating despite holding Mike Sims-Walker without
a catch.
But the biggest issue that emerged for the Denver Broncos
in their season-opening loss at Jacksonville last week was
lousy kick coverage.
The Jaguars’ first 17 points were set up by Mike Thomas’
33-yard punt return and kickoff returns of 46 and 53 yards by
Tiquan Underwood.
“On special teams it only takes one person messing to have
all 11 mess up,” said rookie Perrish Cox, who finally chased
down Underwood on his two long returns.
Kicker Matt Prater pointed the finger at himself for the
Broncos’ dismal special teams debut.
“It all starts with me, with the kick,” Prater said. “I can do a better job
of kicking it. I should have. I didn’t kick off as well as I could so a lot of
that was on me. If there would have been all touchbacks, we wouldn’t be
talking about returns. I have to kick off better and not give them a chance
to return.”
Prater insisted “I still think that kickoff coverage is one of the
strengths of our team. It’s up to us to figure it out and get better at it.”
Discipline was as much an issue as good blocks and that’s what the
Broncos focused on fixing.
“You don’t want to give up those chunks of yardage,” running back
Lance Ball said. “Our job is to help out the defense. So, we have some
things to fix, but they are small things, nothing major. There were some
assignments that we could fix. The way you sit on certain plays in certain
gaps. We can fix them in a day.”
A quick fix would be good with Seattle’s Justin Forsett and Leon
Washington coming to town Sunday.
“We don’t panic here,” Nate Jones said. “We know that we can get
things going. We have to do it every time. We had two good ones and two
Perrish
Cox
Broncos

bad ones last week, so we have to have all good ones.”
Linebacker Joe Mays, who was brought in from
Philadelphia for his special teams prowess, chalked up the
poor performance to nerves.
“Nothing showed up on film that we didn’t know of. We
knew our assignments. We have to get the first game jitters out.
Guys in their first game, just run around and try to make
plays,” he said.
The Broncos began addressing their other concerns this
week by trading for New England tailback Laurence Maroney,
who missed his second straight practice with a thigh injury that
kept him out of the Patriots’ opener last week.
Maroney, who declined to comment about the trade
Thursday, gives Denver depth at tailback in case Buckhalter or
Moreno get hurt again as they did in the preseason.
As for Tebow, don’t expect a big jump in his use after he
lined up for three snaps Sunday, one time wide right. Coach
Josh McDaniels said he’s not planning to use his raw rookie quarterback
much differently anytime soon.
Even when Tebow did go in, starting quarterback Kyle Orton stayed on
the field and relayed the plays given to him through his headset, and
McDaniels said he doesn’t plan any straight substitutions of his quarterbacks.
The prevailing wisdom heading into this season was that McDaniels
would capitalize on the three-time All-American’s pass-run option talents
by using him in third-and-short or red-zone situations.
Although that didn’t happen in the opener, Tebow said Thursday he
learned a lot from his first NFL game.
“Just get used to the speed of the game, you just get to watch it, take
a lot of mental reps and just see everything from the game plan you’ve
gone over to how it works to adjustments you have to make,” he said. “So,
a lot of things I feel I can learn and improve on.”
Tebow, who won the Heisman Trophy in 2007, also said it must have
been difficult for Reggie Bush, the 2005 winner, to relinquish his trophy
this week.

Broncs squaring off vs. Rock Springs
The Sheridan High School Broncs football team will play in its second homestand
of the season today when it takes on the Rock Springs Tigers at 7 p.m. at
Homer Scott Field.
The Broncs (3-0) are facing a Tigers team that, despite starting the season 1-2,
packs some offensive firepower.
“Rock Springs brings a good team to town,” SHS head coach Don Julian said.
“Their running back is second in the state in terms of rushing yards, and they also
have the leading receiver in the state. They have some real weapons that they can
hurt you with if you don’t do a good job defensively.”
Through the first three weeks of the season the Broncs’ defense has showed up
every game. Sheridan’s defense has limited its opponents to 27 total points.
The Broncs have also forced turnovers: SHS’ nine takeaways are good for
third best in the state.
Last week Sheridan’s inability to minimize its own turnovers nearly cost the
team a win. Sheridan had five turnovers in its 10-7 victory against Green River.
Julian said his team has spent the week working on ball security and making
sound offensive decisions.
“I am not afraid to talk about turnovers; some coaches don’t even like to talk
about them,” he said. “But you get what you emphasize, and we have preached to
this team that they need to take care of the football. When we don’t turn the ball
over, we are a very strong football team.”
Quarterback Dan Zemski, who threw four interceptions last week, said he
realizes that he can’t force throws.
“I can’t get greedy,” he said. “I need to make the right reads as I go through
my progressions.”
Zemski said offensivley Sheridan will look to use its speed against Rock
Springs.
“We have a lot of speed, so we will look to exploit that,” he said. “We have the
receivers that can get out in space and really stretch the field.”
SHS is ranked No. 2 in 4A behind first-place Natrona, but Julian said his team
isn’t focusing on rankings or the team’s fast start.
“It is critical that we don’t worry about things that are out of our control and
that at the end really don’t mean anything,” he said.

Friday on a felony
grand larceny charge.
Authorities alleged
he took cell phones
belonging to Harris
and two of their children
following the
altercation. That felony
charge carries a possible
sentence of five
years.
The new criminal
complaint filed
Thursday added two
felony coercion and
one felony robbery
charge along with one
misdemeanor domestic battery and
three misdemeanor harassment
charges.
Convictions on all eight
charges would increase the possible
penalty Mayweather could face
if convicted of all charges to 34
years.
Mayweather’s lawyer, Richard
Wright, told The Associated Press
he hadn’t seen the new complaint
and declined immediate comment.
Wright has previously denied
wrongdoing on Mayweather’s
behalf.

Woman withdraws
restraining order against
former Bronco Sharpe
ATLANTA (AP) — Former NFL player Shannon Sharpe is headed
back to his job as a CBS football analyst after a woman withdrew
her petition for a temporary restraining order against him.
Sharpe was scheduled to appear in an Atlanta court Monday to
address the woman’s allegations that he forced her to have sex with
him, threatened her life and conducted surveillance of her.
Fulton County court documents show the petition filed last week
was dismissed this week at the woman’s request. The Associated
Press is not naming her because she says she was sexually assaulted.
“I had every expectation that based on truth alone, these claims
would never reach a court,” Sharpe said in a statement issued
through CBS Sports spokeswoman LeslieAnne Wade. “This issue
was dismissed in its totality and no monies and no communications
were exchanged. Now, I look forward to getting to work.”
Sharpe took a brief break from his analyst duties while the case
was resolved, but CBS said in a statement he will be back to work
at “The NFL Today” on Sunday.
Sharpe, 42, played for the Denver Broncos and Baltimore Ravens
and is under consideration for the NFL Hall of Fame.

I’m Jasper , a large four-year-old yellow Labrador Retriever mix. I’m totally house trained and know
all my basic commands. I get along with strangers, cats and other dogs. I’m okay with children but I
don’t like them crawling on me. I love car rides; just say “Load up,” and I’ll crawl in. I like to play in
water and get lots of exercise. I will play with all toys. I’m good with baths and grooming. I’m ver y
friendly and would love to have a nice family to spend my time.
This two-year-old short haired black and gray tabby could have been named
“Clown!!” Ziggy is constantly wanting attention and will do just about anything to
get it. He loves to roll on his back and have his tummy scratched. He can be held
upside down or backwards, just as long as he is being held and petted. He gets
along well with the other cats, but does like to have “his space.” And he does
want all the attention. No one really knows where he came from, but we can tell
you, he was well loved and well taken care of. He will play with any toy you want him to. He will li e in your
arms or in your lap quite a while as long as he doesn’t have to share. We know he will adapt to a go od
home very quickly. Please come see his antics.

Bush: Giving up Heisman not an admission of guilt
METAIRIE, La. (AP) — Reggie Bush said Thursday that his decision to
relinquish his Heisman Trophy is “not an admission of guilt,” just the best way
to end the controversy.
“It’s me showing respect to the Heisman Trophy itself and to the people
who came before me and the people coming after,” Bush said after Saints practice.
“I just felt like it was the best thing to do, the most respectful thing to do
because obviously I do respect the Heisman. I do respect all the things it stands
for.”
The Heisman Trophy Trust had discussed reviewing Bush’s eligibility for
the award after an NCAA report concluded that Bush and his family had
improperly accepted cash and gifts from sports agents while Bush was playing
for Southern Cal.
Bush said he thought returning the award was the best way to move forward.
“I felt just to kind of silence all the talk around it, all the negativity around
it — I felt like this would be the best decision to do right now so I could focus.”
Bush was the landslide winner of the Heisman following a highlight-filled
2005 season in which he piled up 2,890 all-purpose yards and helped lead
USC to the BCS national title game, which the Trojans lost to Texas.
Bush is now the first winner in the 75-year history of the Heisman — one
of the most prestigious prizes in American sports — to forfeit the award.
“I feel like he’s tried to put himself in a position to do whatever he can do
to help the situation,” said Saints defensive tackle Sedrick Ellis, also a former
USC teammate of Bush. “He’s always been a good guy as long as I’ve known
him at USC and here in New Orleans. ... Hopefully (people will) finally leave
him alone about it. It’s five or six years ago. We need to let it go and move on.”
Coach Sean Payton said Bush has “matured a ton here since we drafted
him” and has “the full support of the players in the locker room.”
“I know that he feels like this is a family — a close-knit family — and for
him, just like the rest of us, it’s about winning championships,” Payton said.
“He’s done that once already and we’re aspiring to win more.”
Bush said he consulted family and some associates before forfeiting the
Heisman, a move some of those close to him opposed.
“My mom and dad didn’t want me to give it back,” Bush said. “That’s just
the motherly and fatherly nature of parents. They understand it at the end of
the day. They understand I’m a grown man and I’ve got to make my own decisions
and this is a learning experience for me and anybody else coming after
me. ... All I can do is grow stronger from here.”
Giants beat L.A., move into first place in NL West
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A mist swirled
above the field and fans stayed put after the
final out as the NL West division flags in center
field were changed. The Giants went back on
top at last.
“Yeah, it’s pretty cool. That goes without
saying,” first baseman Aubrey Huff said.
Huff hit a three-run homer, Buster Posey
had a solo shot and San Francisco moved into
first place in the division race with a 10-2 win
over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday
night.
“It says a lot about this club and how hard
they’ve been fighting,” manager Bruce Bochy
said. “It’s going to be a tough race, we know it.”
Jonathan Sanchez (11-8) struck out a career-
high 12 as the Giants took a half-game lead on
the Padres after San Diego lost 4-0 at St. Louis.
San Francisco is in sole possession of first
place for the first time since May 6. The Giants
are trying to end a six-year playoff drought.
“Hopefully we can stay there all the way
until the end,” Sanchez said. “It feels good to
be in first place. We’ve got a lot of games to go
and we’ve got to keep playing like this if we’re
going to finish first.”
Dodgers starter Ted Lilly (8-11) was done
after 3 1-3 innings for his shortest outing of the
season. This was just his third loss in nine starts
since joining the Dodgers at the trade deadline.
Russ Mitchell homered just fair inside the
left-field foul pole for his first career hit lead-
ing off the fifth for Los Angeles. He had been 0
for 15.
“The silent treatment is over,” Mitchell said
of his funk. “I was talking to it, hoping it would
stay fair.”
Huff and Posey connected for back-to-back
homers in the third, the seventh time the
Giants have hit consecutive homers this season.
Jose Guillen added a two-run drive in the
fifth to make it 8-2. It was his 18th home run
of the season and second with the Giants.
Guillen returned to the starting lineup after
missing Wednesday’s game with a painful
neck. He underwent an MRI exam Thursday
and said everything was fine.

have been together for the last 15.
Emile has always been demeaning
and sarcastic to me. When he gets
upset about something he blames
me.
This has been going on for so
long I don’t know what to do anymore.
I am so depressed and hurt
that all I can think of is “going
away” permanently. I don’t think I’d
ever harm myself, but I feel more
desperate and hopeless every day.
I’m down so low I don’t know how

Dr. Gott Dr. Peter Gott
DEAR DR. GOTT: I am an 86-year-old doctor’s
daughter concerned that both my parents died of kidney
failure, although I never knew how it happened.
Perhaps you could tell me what steps I should take first
to deal with it, as I just got a
report from my doctor indicating
that I have chronic kidney disease
that has stabilized. What does that
mean?
DEAR READER: The kidneys
are fist-sized, bean-shaped organs
located at the back of the upper
abdomen. Their purpose is to filter
and clean blood. When the
kidneys lose their ability to perform
as intended, the condition is
known as kidney failure. Stabilized failure simply
means that your kidneys have lost some function but are
no longer deteriorating.
Symptoms of failure vary, depending on the type
experienced. Diagnosis can be difficult for a physician
because symptoms and complaints can be attributed to
other, unrelated symptoms. I will cover a few possibilities.
Stones form when the accumulated urine in the kidneys
contains too high a concentration of uric acid, calcium
or oxalate. Low levels of citrate and magnesium
can also contribute to the formation. While there are four
types of stones, the most common are the result of
excess calcium. This can result from some prescribed
diuretics, the ingestion of large amounts of vitamin D,
dehydration or from excess hormones — specifically
thyroid and/or parathyroid.
Pyelonephritis is a common kidney inflammation.
This disorder is rather common in women but can also
occur in conjunction with kidney stones, bladder tumors,
urinary infections or an enlarged prostate gland in men.
Chronic kidney failure can occur from injury,
blocked blood vessels, or can be the result of complications
from a surgical procedure. Chronic failure occurs
when the function of the kidneys has decreased to less
than 25 percent of what it should be. With acute or
chronic failure, waste products build up in the blood and
cannot be eliminated.
Symptoms include loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting,
drowsiness and a decrease in urine output.
Treatment consists of determining the cause for the
failure, controlling infection and prescribing diuretics.
In extremely advanced cases, dialysis may be necessary.
Your failure may be the result of diabetes, hypertension
or untreated or repeated kidney inflammation.
Make an appointment with your physician or a nephrologist
to determine what can be done to bring things
under better control.
While I understand you have already requested a
copy of my Health Report “Kidney Disorders,” other
readers who would like a copy should send a selfaddressed,
stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or
money order to Newsletter, PO Box 167, Wickliffe, OH
44092-0167. Be sure to mention the title or print out an
order form from my website www.AskDrGottMD.com.
DEAR DR. GOTT: I would like to receive a copy of
your “No Flour, No Sugar Diet.” How may I order it?
DEAR READER: Oddly enough, your request is not
unique. I receive inquiries every day, and my website
has specific instructions for ordering. Most of my books
are offered on the bottom of the “About” page, but if a
reader doesn’t scroll to the bottom of the page, the section
is likely missed. We are presently working on a
more user-friendly site with better links that will assist
readers. In any event, follow the links that will take you
directly to Amazon.com. Thank you for your inquiry
Dear Abby Pauline Phillips and Jeanne Phillips
Domestic Violence Hotline ((800)
799-7233) and ask for help to safely
get away. I’m not exaggerating
when I say your mental health
depends on it.
DEAR ABBY: I live in a suburban
neighborhood where the homes
are very close together. My back
yard is too small to have a clothesline.
Because I love the smell of my
bed sheets after they have dried outside,
I hang them out to dry by pinning
them to the chain link fence
that surrounds the perimeter of my
back yard.
My girlfriends say they would be
offended if they were my neighbors.
I say it’s environmentally friendly,
and because I’m hanging out only
linens and not underwear, nobody
should be offended. Who is correct?
— IN THE BREEZE IN OTTAWA,
ONTARIO, CANADA
DEAR IN THE BREEZE: Many
neighborhoods have codes,
covenants and restrictions that dictate
what can and cannot be done
within their boundaries. Review the
documents to ensure you are not
breaking any rules. If you’re not,
you have had no complaints from
the neighbors, and your laundry isn’t
becoming soiled from flapping
against the chain link fence or freezing
solid in January — it’s all right
with me.
DEAR ABBY: A few months
ago, we got a new neighbor. When I
was out walking my dog one day,
my neighbor was doing the same. At
first I thought this person was
female, but as we got to talking I
began to doubt myself.
First off, my neighbor is petite,
has a boyish haircut, no breasts,
dresses like a guy and speaks in a
voice that could be male or female. I
stood there and decided I’d ask for a
name, thinking it would solve my
problem. Wrong! The person’s
name is “Chris.”
Abby, I don’t know what to do. I
feel bad for not knowing this person’s
gender. Is there any way I can
find an answer without Chris knowing?
I don’t want to refer to this person
as a “he” if she’s a “she,” and
vice versa. — GIRL NEXT DOOR,
MISSOULA, MONT.
DEAR GIRL NEXT DOOR:
Refer to your neighbor as Chris.
Asking other neighbors what they
have learned about Chris could create
more conversation — and problems
— than it would solve. My
advice is to continue being kind and
neighborly to Chris. The more you
get to know this person, the more
likely the answers you’re seeking
will present themselves.
TO MY JEWISH READERS:
Sundown marks the beginning of
Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement.
During this 24-hour period, observant
Jewish people fast, engage in
reflection and prayer, and formally
repent for any sin that might have
been committed during the previous
Hebrew year. To all of you — may
your fast be an easy one.

Junior Councilor Korpela noted school is entering the second
week, the sports teams are doing well, and the fall drama
tryouts are this week.
Councilor Ketcham moved, seconded by Councilor Heath
to remove from the table Pathway Extension Bid Award.
Council approved the motion; voice vote, with Councilor
Brantz dissenting.
Councilor Heath noted he is for the continuation of the
pathway, but felt more study was needed for alternatives to
the location specified in the current bid such as aligning the
pathway down closer to the water similar to the bridge underpasses
that have been built in other parts of the pathway.
Councilor Heath also indicated the pathway will not be immediately
connected to the Lewis Street Bridge location until
that project is started some-time next year with completion
in calendar year 2012. Councilor Brantz voiced similar concerns
citing the narrowness of the path down to six feet instead
of the normal ten foot width, the need to consider other
alternatives, American with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance
concerns and the potential need to purchase additional
land to place the pathway in the planned location. Public
Works Director Bateson presented information on the investigation
into the alternatives suggested by Dr. Bateman for other
alignments of the pathway along the levy and Dow Street,
the potential costs of the alternatives, considerations of safety
for pathway users and City crews performing maintenance
of the levy, potential delays to the Lewis Street Bridge project
due to Army Corp of Engineers (Corp) consideration of any
alternative design and the potential of delay or changes to
the State of Wyoming Department of Transportation (WY-
DOT) design/construction plans. Mr. Bateson noted the lowest
cost and least disruptive to the Corp and WYDOT was to
proceed with the bid award for the pathway along the top of
the levy in the amount of $32,190.25. Dr. Bateman addressed
Council citing his concerns about the pathway being approved
in the current proposal and hoped the issue could be
delayed until further investigation of alternatives other than
what he proposed are considered by the City engineering
staff. Dr. Bateman requested the pathway width of six feet,
proximity of his building to the pathway and pathway standards
be reviewed before any decision was made on the pathway
extension. Dr. Bateman’s attorney, Mr. Smith, offered to
share some research with the City containing a Corp map
showing the existence of the building prior to the construction
of the levy and offered objections to using the flood
easement as basis for a recreational pathway. Mr. Giurgevich,
Bruce Pryde, Edith Hayward, & Don Crecelius rose in support
of extending the pathway as designed along the top of the
levy stating past and present use of the levy, dangers to using
Dow Street as an option due to the amount of daily traffic,
and the desire to keep the trail as wide as possible. Mayor
Kinskey read email from Nancy Drummond, Mark and Julie
Weitz also in support of the pathway at the location presented
for the bid award. Council discussed the location, alternative
locations and costs presented, master plans for the pathway
system, timing of planning and construction with WY-
DOT on the Lewis Street Bridge project, importance of this
extension of the pathway to the entire pathway system,
width of the pathway and the reduction in width length, use
of the pathway for flood control and equipment requirements,
safety of citizens using the pathways, separation of
pathway from any legal question of the flood easement requirements.
Council approved the motion to award the bid to
Excel Construction in the amount of $32,190.25; voice vote,
with Councilors Brantz and Heath dissenting.
Councilor Heath thanked City staff in their efforts of reviewing
and presenting information to the Council; Councilor
Brantz thanked everyone for their condolences after his father’s
death; Councilor Bigelow thanked the Council for the
ability to disagree but still maintain a working relationship
with each other; Mayor Kinskey noted the Hi-Tech Business
Park groundbreaking is scheduled for this Thursday at 1:00
P.M.; Councilor Ketcham thanked City crews for their work
this summer with the street chip sealing operations and
Councilor Webster encouraged parents to enroll interested
youth into a Boy Scouts troop of their choice.
There being no further business the Council adjourned at
9:16 P.M.

question first, opening two
clubs, strong, artificial and
forcing, then jumping to
three no-trump, promises a
balanced hand with 25-27
points. You have only 24,
but because they are all in
aces and kings, you are
right to upgrade. Since
aces are worth closer to
four-and-a-half points,
your hand really counts to
at least 25.
You seem to start with
nine top tricks: two
spades, three hearts (given
the lead) and four clubs.
However, the club suit is
blocked. After cashing
your ace and king, you
Phillip Alder
must be able to get into the
dummy to collect the
queen and jack. What is
your only dummy entry?
Now apply the Rule of
Eleven to West's opening
lead. Seven from 11 is
four. This means that there
are four hearts higher than
the seven in the North,
East and South hands
combined. And you can
see all four: dummy's jack
and 10, and your ace and
king. East cannot have a
high heart; West has the
queen.

THE
Press SHERIDAN
Katie Hiller, a public health nurse at Community Health Services, displays a vial of influenza vaccine with syringes Wednesday afternoon
in Sheridan. The clinic will administer flu shots beginning in October.
A shot for good health
• Flu vaccine recommended to prevent illness
By Tom Cotton
tom@thesheridanpress.com
Want to avoid the flu this season?
Katie Hiller, nurse educator at Sheridan
County Public Health, has a simple solution —
get a shot.
“There are several thousands of cases every
year, and people can die from it,” Hiller said. The
best way to prevent the flu is to get the flu shot.”
According to Hiller, the flu season lasts from
October until May, and during that span in 2009-
10, Sheridan County Public Health gave 4,176
seasonal flu shots and 4,699 H1N1 (swine) flu
shots.
Hiller said as of April 23, there were 735 confirmed
laboratory cases by the Wyoming
Department of Health of H1N1 flu in the state
including 120 cases in Sheridan County in 2009-
Friday the 13th of August was a lucky, lifesaving
day for one of us: Dr. Oz. We hope his
story will save other lives, too (yours?). His first
colonoscopy (Oz turned 50 this year; that's
startin' time for this test) found an iffy-looking
polyp in his squeaky-clean colon (yup, docs
have to do the same bowel-cleansing routine
you do). The polyp (a type called an adenoma)
was removed and sent for testing ... and a weekend
of anxious waiting began. The big question
on Oz's mind: Was it cancer?
Tense? You bet. The wedding of his oldest
daughter, Daphne, was two weeks away, and he
didn't want to scare his family or steal attention
from Daphne's Big Day. So Dr. Oz called Dr.
Mike. Turns out Dr. Mike was the perfect BFF
to call, because he had been there himself. After
a clean colonoscopy at 48 (early because both of
his parents had polyps, a red flag), Dr. Mike's
first recheck at 53 found three polyps like Oz's!
All were snipped out, none tested cancerous,
and he's been polyp-free since. "I'm alive
because of this test," he told Dr. Oz. "Hang in.
You'll get through it, too."
All our polyps were pre-cancerous. Whew.
It felt like just missing an auto accident by stop-

10. The only county in Wyoming with more was
Laramie with 131.
Hiller, however, added that exact statistics are
somewhat difficult to pin down. She said the
Wyoming Department of Health estimates there
were many more cases with the above numbers
reflecting only people who were actually tested
for H1N1 flu.
This season, she said, there will not be a separate
shot for the H1N1 flu and seasonal flu. This
season’s vaccine will include both strains of flu
virus.
According to the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention website, the flu shot is “an inactivated
vaccine (containing killed virus) that is
given with a needle. The seasonal flu shot is
approved for use in people 6 months of age and
older, including healthy people, people with
chronic medical conditions and pregnant women.”
Colon polyps: a love story
ping at the yellow light instead of trying
to squeak through. We'll both need extra
screenings. And we'll both do whatever
it takes to get YOU tested. (Watch Oz's
experience on video at
www.DrOz.com.) We're not unusual:
Colon polyps are supercommon. By
age 50, up to 40 percent of men and 30
percent of women have 'em. Ten percent
of polyps become cancerous,
killing 53,000 people a year. But colon
cancer screenings could prevent more
than 60 percent of those deaths. So while
screening may not be your first choice for a
birthday present, give yourself one on your 50th
(earlier if you're at high risk). Some things to
know:
Know when you need to get checked. Age
50's the norm. But if you're African-American,
start at 45; you're at higher risk. If a first-degree
relative has had colon cancer before 50, start at
40 and get a colonoscopy every five years. If a
parent or sibling has had a precancerous polyp
or you have an inflammatory bowel disease
(ulcerative colitis, Crohn's), you also may need
earlier testing; talk to your doc.
The third flu virus in this year’s shot is H3N2.
“Every year, the three most prevalent flu viruses,
they put into the vaccine,” Hiller said.
Another option to prevent flu, she said, is a
nasal mist that has been approved for ages 2-49.
The CDC website says the mist “is a vaccine
made with live, weakened flu viruses that do not
cause the flu (sometimes called LAIV for ‘Live
Attenuated Influenza Vaccine’).”
Hiller noted, however, that the nasal mist is not
recommended for those with “underlying health
conditions” such as asthma, chronic lung disease
or heart disease.
Hiller said Sheridan County Public Health will
be offering flu clinics throughout the community
beginning in October. Operational details for
those clinics have yet to be determined.
“We want as many people as possible to get
the shot,” she stated.
Mehmet Oz, M.D.
Mike Roizen, M.D.
Know your test options. Ask your doc these
questions about each: What's the preparation?
What's the risk? What's the cost? Will my insurance
cover it? Then pick one:
Colonoscopy. After a day of bowel cleansing,
an endoscope — a thin, flexible tube with a
tiny light and camera — is slid through your
entire colon. If results are normal, repeat every
10 years. If polyps are found, they're removed
on the spot.
Sigmoidoscopy. It checks just the lower portion
of the large intestine. Yup, you still have to
go through bowel prep. Do every it five years.

Working on personal
wellness as a way of life
When we think about
personal health and wellbeing,
many of us are
reminded of the various
important preventive
choices we can make that
have a significant impact
on our health.
These include hand
washing, vaccinations,
yearly medical checkups,
and even dressing for
colder weather.
We try to watch our
weight, a balancing act at
best. Basically, it comes
down to the fact that
calories we take in must
equal calories we burn to
“maintain”; thus, it
makes sense that in order
to lose weight, we need
to burn more calories
than we consume.
Starting a physical
activity program at any
age is definitely an optimal
choice for enhancing
health, since increasing
daily activity can help
reduce risk of chronic
disease, tone muscles,
improve coordination
and balance, and improve
our outlook on life,
boosting self-respect and confidence!
We feel these are tremendous
benefits that we can and should take
advantage of — at any age.
Another significant part of “keeping
our act together” is practicing
sound nutritional habits. Of course,
we all want to enjoy family holiday
gatherings and the occasional treat
(mocha “loaded” latte or dark chocolate
anyone?)!
Yet, when assessing choices in
our daily nutritional plan, maintaining
balance is a key objective. When
evaluating present food choices,
think about — and address — personal
health risks!
Do you have high blood pressure
or cholesterol? Consulting health
care providers and working together
with registered dietitians can make a
big difference when deciding how to
implement best options in specific
health situations.
Overall, try to include major food
groups when planning meals — lean
protein sources, fruits, vegetables,
grains, nuts/seeds, and low-fat dairy
products. Find what fits your
lifestyle and budget. Then, take time
to discover what is accessible at our
local markets, and go from there!
Stress is an important factor that
every one of us must tackle as part of
ner snaps 3-D images of your colon
from the outside. You still need a
bowel prep, and if your doc finds a
polyp, you'll still need a conventional
colonoscopy to remove it.
Barium enema/X-ray. Your colon
is filled with air and liquefied barium,
then X-rayed. We're not big fans. This
check misses half of the precancers
that colonoscopy spots.
Fecal occult blood test. A "wipe
and toss" test performed in your own
bathroom, it finds hidden blood in your stool —
a polyps warning. You have to avoid some foods
and drugs beforehand. A newer version, fecal
immunochemical test (FIT or iFOBT), is more
accurate and takes fewer diet changes. Repeat
yearly.
Know what keeps your colon healthy (and
pooping happily). Avoid saturated fat (in meat,
poultry skin, full-fat dairy foods and
palm/coconut oils). Sat fat's inflammatory
effects set off cancer-causing DNA damage
(and all kinds of other trouble). Shun trans fats
(still in many snack foods and commercial
desserts); they disrupt protective mucus in your

our personal well-being.
A normal part of life,
stress is basically our
reaction to daily personal
and environmental
demands.
Evidence-based scientific
research has
found that modern-day
American lifestyles are
chronically stressful. The
nonstop daily demands
we face must also be a
wake-up call to us — it is
vital that we find ways to
manage everyday pressures
and — thus —
reduce stress.
Healthy aging is one
of today's hottest topics
with huge numbers of
baby boomers moving
into later life years.
Maintaining healthy
lifestyle habits is optimal
to healthy aging and
starting today is key!
Including stress management,
healthy foods
in controlled portions,
and daily physical activity
in our lives will help
us optimize our health
and our lives.
An excellent and free event for
learning more about local resources
and for picking up great healthy
lifestyle tips happens Saturday —
our own Sheridan Health Fair at
Sheridan College Bruce Hoffman
Dome from 9 a.m.-noon! Make a
healthy choice right now and plan to
join us.
Bring family and friends for a
great morning of fun and community
camaraderie — and be proactive in
increasing our “culture of wellness”
in Sheridan County by committing to
personal health as your way of life.
We'll see you there!

cashing in your life insurance early. Marinate
meats and poultry in vinegar and/or olive oil
before grilling to cut down on carcinogens from
barbecuing. Stay active! Quit smoking! Get
enough vitamin D-3 (1,000 IU per day) and
folate (400 mcg from food, 400 from a supplement);
both may help. Feast on anti-polyp cruciferous
veggies (broccoli, arugula, cauliflower)
