District 1 expels 

two girls after 

pellet gun incident 

By Larque Richter 

Staff reporter 

RANCHESTER — Sheridan School District 1 trustees 

voted to expel two Tongue River Middle School students 

through the semester for shooting a pellet gun on the Tongue 

River High School grounds Oct. 17. 

It is suspected that the girls shot at other kids on the 

grounds, according to Sheridan County Sheriff Dave 

Hofmeier. 

“The state law requires they be expelled for a year, except 

it allows the superintendent to make a special request,” said 

Superintendent Rod Svee. 

Svee recommended they expel the girls until January. 

“The board considered the recommendation for expulsion, 

and based on the facts that the principal and myself had determined 

in the case,” he said. “We did not feel it appropriate 

that the students be expelled for the entire year. The board 

accepted the recommendation.” 

The girls had been suspended from school a week ago 

Monday.

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL 

PARK (AP) — Snowmobiles produce 

nearly all the air pollution in 

Yellowstone National Park even though 

other vehicles outnumber them 16 to 1, a 

report from the National Park Service 

says. 

On peak days in an area where snowmobiles 

concentrate, the air pollution is 

twice as bad as in parts of Los Angeles, 

the report says. 

The agency’s Air Resource Division 

prepared the report, drawn from studies 

by several state and federal agencies and 

the University of Denver. 

The entire report was not available 

immediately, but the Park Service 

announced its availability in a news 

release late Tuesday. 

Snowmobiles, which use two-stroke 

engines, emit 100 times as much carbon 

monoxide and 300 times as much hydrocarbons 

as do automobiles, which use 

four-stroke engines, according to the 

report. 

Park workers at the west gate have 

blamed headaches and other ailments on

RANCHESTER — Big Horn and Tongue River 

football teams will not go face mask to face mask at 

the annual Thunder Bowl next year, if alternative

District 1 Superintendent Rod Svee announced at 

last night’s board meeting that coaches and athletic 

directors at both schools are seeking district games 

rather than the rival matchup. 

CODY (AP) — Weather forecasters have enough 

trouble trying to keep up with changing weather conditions 

despite all the modern technology available to 

them. 

But the loss of a National Weather Service computer 

in Maryland to fire has made their jobs even more difficult. 

Forecasters now must rely on more rudimentary 

information produced by backup computers that may not 

divulge storm squalls traveling through the Rocky 

Mountain states. 

snowmobiles that gather there. 

‘‘On a peak day, when 2,000 snowmobiles 

enter the park, 32 tons of hydrocarbons 

and 88 tons of carbon monoxide 

can be emitted,’’ the release says. Over 

the winter, that adds up to 1,200 tons of 

hydrocarbons and 2,400 tons of carbon 

monoxide. 

One winter’s emission by snowmobiles 

in Yellowstone amounts to 78 percent 

of all carbon monoxide and 94 percent 

of all hydrocarbons released during 

the entire year, even though cars and other 

vehicles vastly outnumber them. 

The sleds emit 3 percent of the annual 

nitrogen oxide emissions and 37 percent 

of the particulate matter emissions in the 

park, the studies found. 

For particulate matter concentration, 

the federal limit is a concentrate of 60. 

At the park’s west entrance on Feb. 13 

and Feb. 14, the concentrations were 116 

and 122 respectively. 

‘‘To put this in perspective, the maximum

“Both high schools have talked of scheduling 

more conference football games,” Svee reiterated. “If 

that’s feasible, the Thunder Bowl will not be held 

next year. If any game is held, we may look at going 

back to home games again — in Big Horn and 

Dayton again. Regardless of what happens to the 

varsity contest, the JV will be scheduled.”

cooperate with Tongue River to do what’s best for 

both schools.

On Sept. 27, an electrical fire broke out inside a Cray

Wyoming National Guard 

Ex-guard 

member 

plans to 

sue state 

CHEYENNE (AP) — A former Wyoming National Guard 

member has announced her intention to sue Gov. Jim Geringer 

and two top Guard officials for wrongfully firing her, according 

to a copyrighted story by the Wyoming Tribune-Eagle 

newspaper. 

Vivian Penak claims the Guard fired her from her job as a 

civilian technician for failing to comply with a military directive 

preventing Guard members from digging up allegations of 

misconduct by other officers. 

Another ex-Guard member, Col. Roger Nyberg, is suing 

for similar reasons. 

Both were fired after being investigated by the Guard on 

allegations of having an improper relationship that was hurting 

staff morale and not working hard enough during job-related 

trips to Alaska and Germany, said C.M. ‘‘Steve’’ Aron, their 

attorney. 

The allegations are untrue and were made by the ex-wife of 

Penak’s former boyfriend, who was motivated by personal and 

post-divorce legal interests, Aron said. Penak and Nyberg 

were friends and did not have a sexual relationship. 

During the Guard’s investigation, Penak and Nyberg made 

a comment that implied that if they were to be questioned on 

their relationship, that might lead to questions about sexual 

relationships had by a senior official, Col. Robert Rodekohr, 

Aron said. 

District 1 seeks to abolish Thunder Bowl 

admitted the game creates a rift between students in 

the district. 

“We have always enjoyed playing the Thunder 

Bowl, but it hasn’t been a good experience for our 

kids the last three years,” Scherry said. “We’ve had 

trouble regrouping and getting ready to play our two 

conference games after the Thunder Bowl — the 

kids have lost some of their self-confidence. If we 

can’t be competitive in that game, we need to find 

someone in our division to play.” 

Computer loss makes weather forecasts less accurate

in Camp Springs, Md. 

The Weather Service had already planned to replace 

the Cray computer with a new, $36-million IBM computer 

even before the fire and now hopes to rush the 

IBM into service by next month, Baker said. 

Forecasters at the National Centers for 

Environmental Prediction had fed the Cray computer 

current weather observations from around the world, 

which it used to build models of coming weather up to 

16 days in advance.

EPA orders oil pit cleanup 

CASPER (AP) — Federal environmental 

regulators have ordered 

the U.S. Bureau of Land 

Management to immediately eliminate 

environmental threats caused by 

two oil pits southwest of Casper. 

The agency is being ordered to 

inspect the Poison Spider Field pits 

daily and keep birds and other 

wildlife away, according to an 

administrative order issued 

Wednesday by the Environmental 

Protection Agency. 

More than 75 birds were killed 

last summer at the pits and two mule 

deer fawns were partly covered by a 

mess created by the sites and had to 

be destroyed, federal environmental 

regulators said. 

The Bureau of Land Management 

can request a conference with EPA 

Regional Administrator Bill 

Yellowtail within five days. 

Otherwise the bureau has 30 days to 

submit a plan of interim measures it 

will take to protect human health and 

the environment until the pits are 

cleaned up completely.

Several environmental groups last 

week called on the Park Service to 

phase out all snowmobiling in the 

park. And officials from several 

counties around the park have called 

for expedited use of cleaner snowmobiles. 

The Park Service, in drafting a 

new winter-use plan for Yellowstone, 

has proposed banning snowmobiles 

only from the route between West 

Yellowstone and Old Faithful, 

though it would plow that road and 

open it to buses, vans and some private 

vehicles. 

The release notes that the contentious, 

ongoing process of writing

outlining new winter use rules 

addresses ‘‘longer term goals for 

reducing snowmobile emissions.’’

Show makes dream come true 

■ Program will air 

Friday on KTVQ 

By Pat Blair 

Senior Staff reporter 

Everything started with a letter, according to 

Jeanan Herman. 

In fact, the Herman family’s recent whirlwind 

trip to Hollywood ... an appearance on 

Richard Simmons’ Dream Makers television 

show ... and a day and a half at Disneyland all 

started with the Sheridan woman’s own desire 

to do something special for her daughter. 

The show featuring the Herman family will 

air at 11 a.m. tomorrow on Casper’s KTVQ — 

Channel 10 for Sheridan cable customers. 

Juliana, 11, and the daughter of Hans and 

Jeanan Herman, was seriously injured three 

years ago when the family’s car was struck by a 

drunk driver. The Hermans’ younger child, 

Katherine, was killed, and Juliana was in a 

coma for some time. 

When she came out of the coma, she was 

paralyzed on her left side, Jeanan said. “She 

had to relearn everything ... to walk, to talk, to 

eat. School’s been kind of a struggle.” Jeanan 

paused then said, “She lost some of herself.” 

Jeanan said she was watching Larry King 

Live and caught a segment in which Simmons 

talked about his “Dream Makers” project to 

help make individuals’ dreams come true. 

“I decided I’d write (to Simmons) about 

Juliana, and see if they could do something special 

about her,” Jeanan said. 

That happened around the end of August or 

first of September, she said. 

Weather 


Following the fire, the forecasters turned to 

two backup computers, which have about 40 

percent of the computing capacity of the Cray. 

The result has been that forecasters are left 

with fewer, fuzzier computer models than they 

had before. 

‘‘The higher resolution, the better we can 

see smaller developments like intense precipitation 

or compact storm features, which 

improves the accuracy of our forecasts,’’ said 

Mark Cunningham, a senior meteorologist at 

the National Weather Service office in 

Riverton. 

District 1 


Show donates 

to SADD 

Richard Simmons’ Dream Maker will 

donate to Sheridan High School’s 

Students Against Drunk Driving (SADD) 

program, Jeanan Herman said. 

She said producers of the show told 

her of the intent to donate, but she does 

not know at this time how much will be 

given. 

She said she was impressed by 

Simmons. “He was a really nice guy. I 

think he really is ... He really cares.” 

On Sept. 29, Jeanan received a call from a 

research assistant for Simmons’ show. 

“She asked me what happened to her 

(Juliana) and what I wanted.” Jeanan said, “My 

dream was for her to forget for one day everything 

that had happened to her.” 

The research assistant said she would pitch 

the idea to the show’s producers. About an hour 

later, Jeanan received a call from Lisa Tatum. 

“She asked me to FedEx a bunch of pictures.” 

She also shared Juliana’s dream, which was 

to go to Disneyland. 

That was on a Wednesday night. Jeanan sent 

the requested pictures Thursday. On Friday, 

Jeanan took advantage of a no-class day at 

Sheridan High School where she works as a 

paraprofessional and went shopping. 

“I came back (home) and there were messages 

on the answering machine.” 

The Hermans had been chosen for a Dream 

Maker segment — with an all-expenses-paid 

trip to Hollywood, an appearance on the show 

Because the backup computers can produce 

weather models extending only 10 days ahead, 

the Weather Service’s Climate Prediction 

Center notified personnel last week that ‘‘there 

is no objective basis for making forecasts at the 

8-14 day range, and no further messages of 

forecasts will be issued until model guidance at 

that range again becomes available.’’ 

In a few recent cases cold fronts have 

moved into Wyoming six to 12 hours before 

the models predicted, Williams said. 

‘‘The models are actually not quite as accurate, 

so the level of confidence in the forecasts 

is probably not as high as it used to be,’’ said 

Mark Tobin, a meteorologist at AccuWeather 

want to continue to do, and if it’s not, it’s something 

we need to look at.” 

The Thunder Bowl at SHS stadium resumed 

in 1995 after a break in the late-’80s.

thought it is time to end the game.

The producers originally wanted the family 

to come to California on Oct. 5. 

“Later they called and said it would be the 

8th. That worked out better,” she said. “It gave 

us time to get ready. I don’t know if we 

would’ve made it by the 5th.” 

Hans put in, “We would have made it — but 

we would probably not have packed everything 

...” 

The show was taped Saturday, Oct. 9. “They 

picked us up at the hotel and took us to the studio,” 

Jeanan said. Juliana knew about the 

appearance on Simmons’ show, but no one had 

told her about Disneyland. She found out during 

the program itself. 

“I felt pretty excited,” Juliana said. 

“She just sat there,” Jeanan said, smiling. 

The family went to Disneyland Saturday 

afternoon and stayed through Sunday. Juliana 

said one of her favorite events was getting to go 

twice on the Star Wars ride, but she and various 

members of her family also took rides to Space 

Mountain, Indiana Jones, Small World and the 

Safari ride. “And we saw the Mulan Parade,” 

Juliana added. 

The Hermans returned to Sheridan Monday, 

Oct. 11. 

Juliana will be in classes tomorrow, but she 

expects she’ll have a chance to watch herself on 

television at school. 

Hans, who works nights, said he’ll probably 

tape the program so he and Jeanan can watch it 

later. 

“I’m sure the grandparents will be recording 

it,” he added. 

Jeanan anticipates watching the program, 

but she doesn’t need to see it to remember what 

happened.

Experienced meteorologists can overcome 

the shortfalls of the fuzzier models by looking 

for weather patterns instead of concentrating on 

the fine details, Tobin said. 

Meteorologist Jim Scarlett at the National 

Weather Service office in Billings said since 

forecasters in his office know the area and its 

weather patterns, they have not missed any 

local weather developments. 

The military and weather centers in Europe 

and Canada have also provided U.S. forecasters 

with other models to draw on.

A disparity between the size of the two 

schools, and therefore teams, damage to district 

allegiance and “elements of the sports media 

have cast the game in a sensational and negative 

light, which it does not merit.” 

“For those reasons, I think it’s best to end it,” 

Edwards said.

Nature and human world 

meld in local artist’s works 

By Wyeth Friday 


DAYTON — Giant thistles sprout in front of 

life-size armchairs and hammers morph into vegetables 

as artist Arin Waddell’s works to bring the 

human world and the natural environment onto an 

even plane in her oil paintings. 

“My work is centered around putting natural 

and human aspects in juxtaposition. I want to 

show that we are not above nature and we do not 

need to conquer it, we are part of it,” Waddell 

says. 

Waddell’s recent work will be on exhibit at the 

Ucross Foundation Art Gallery beginning 

Saturday. 

Waddell stands near her painting of a life-size 

armchair with a larger-than-life thistle barring the 

chair from being sat in. 

“The chair is life-size. You could sit in the 

chair. Why is the thistle out of scale? I like giving 

nature a power on equal terms with the human 

environment,” Waddell says. 

Waddell is a fourth generation Montanan who 

grew up on a cattle ranch outside Billings and now 

lives in Dayton. 

“This is the first time I’ve shown at Ucross, or 

in the Sheridan area, but I attended two artist residences 

at Ucross in 1995 and 1998,” she says. 

Waddell has worked in sculpture, drawing and 

painting during her career. She holds a bachelor of 

arts, and master’s degree in arts and master’s of 

fine arts. She has also taught at Northwest College 

in Powell, Montana State University in Bozeman 

and Rocky Mountain College in Billings. 

Waddell emphasizes she is more a builder than 

a painter. 

“I’ve actually never considered myself a 

painter. I have always been a maker of things: I 

cook, I plant, I build, I draw, I paint,” Waddell 

says. 

She uses heavy printer’s paper for her painting, 

staying away from canvas, and many of her works 

include old photographs incorporated into the 

paintings. 

“I use paper not canvas because I can tear it 

and crush it and work it the way I want,” Waddell 

says. 

The photos she uses are not used to identify 

specific people, but to tell stories Waddell creates. 

“I call the photos memory markers. I use photos 

from 1910 to the 1920s,” says Waddell. 

One of her works shows photos with pairs of 

children and women with wooden crates Waddell 

The family of Ethel Closson would like to express

“This is called ‘Nesting and Moving Home.’ I 

used photos of pairs of children and women and 

painted the crates to give a sense of moving,” 

Waddell says. 

But she does not expect people to get all of her 

works or ideas when they view the paintings. 

“I don’t care. It doesn’t matter if they don’t 

always get it. If that’s the goal of an artist, I think 

you can become a very frustrated person. I get ideas 

and build things in my head, and I just hope what I 

create will make you go inside your head,” Waddell

meeting last night. 

Proposed is an area in the library to 

be set aside for students to work on 

homework assignments and research, 

complete with tables, chairs and computers. 

Butler said the board would like to 

see the proposal become reality sometime 

this year, but timing depends on 

getting funding for the project. 

She plans next week to visit with the 

SHS students and get their ideas for the 

proposed room. 

The library’s last community needs

Thursday, Oct. 28, at the library. 

The session will wrap up a series of 

meetings that began last summer as a 

way for library board and staff to determine 

how well the facility is meeting the 

community’s needs. 

Butler said next week’s meeting is 

targeting non-profit organizations, but 

she said anyone who did not attend a 

previous focus meeting is welcome to 

attend. 

Those attending the meetings are 

asked to discuss their likes and dislikes

Gun culture 

collides with 

fears of 

Columbine 

CONRAD, Mont. (AP) — Gerry Christensen 

started his three boys hunting for gophers and 

skunks when they were 9 or 10 years old. He 

taught the hunting safety course they needed to 

get their first big-game licenses. 

But Christensen, the local power company 

manager, is also head of the school board. This 

summer, in the wake of the Columbine school 

massacre, he helped pass a resolution to use 

search dogs in the school parking lot to sniff out 

hidden drugs, alcohol — and gunpowder. 

Students with a firearm face expulsion. 

All of this caused an uproar. The possibility of 

expelling kids with a hunting rifle in the pickup 

didn’t go over well in rural Montana. 

The madness of Columbine, where 13 were 

killed in April by two student gunmen who then 

killed themselves, shocked parents and administrators 

nationwide. Many schools have cracked 

down on weapons. 

But in Conrad, a farm community of 2,900 

some 50 miles north of Great Falls on Montana’s 

high plains, guns are just part of growing up. 

School administrators, parents and teachers are 

grappling with how to mesh the new reality of 

school violence with the longstanding culture of 

hunting and guns. 

It has not been an easy fit. 

While hunting may be on the decline in much 

of the country, it remains strong in Montana. Of 

the state’s nearly 900,000 residents, about 

225,000 hold big-game licenses. Thousands will 

take to the field this weekend for the opening of 

Montana’s big-game hunting season. 

About 6,000 kids a year go through the hunter 

education classes. There are more hunters and 

anglers here per capita than in any other state — 

47 percent of men and 10 percent of women. 

A Montana kid often owns a gun long before 

he’s trusted with a car. Jody Calbas, who runs the 

local hardware store, said the typical Conrad kid 

may get a .22-caliber rifle, costing from $100 to 

$200, at the age of 9 or 10. 

They can plunk varmints without a license. 

And at age 12, after hunter safety class, they can 

go after big game with more powerful weapons. 

The first big hunting trip with dad is a traditional 

rite of passage. 

But the dangers of the outside world are 

intruding on Conrad, and the school is responding. 

Besides the searches, it has added intruder 

and bomb-threat drills. 

‘‘We’re only as safe as our most unstable 

child,’’ said high school Principal Orlen Zempel. 

Students hanging out in front of the IGA grocery 

store at lunch in late September on 

Homecoming Week showed little concern, and 

said they haven’t quit carrying guns. They’ve just 

quit parking in the parking lot. 

Jared Robinson, 16, a junior, said a regular 

group of five boys park at his house and walk to 

school. 

‘‘We do it to avoid the hassle,’’ he said. 

Llew Jones, a parent with three boys in high 

school, agrees with the kids and calls the searches 

pointless. 

‘‘If you wanted to go into Conrad High with a 

gun, you could,’’ said Jones. ‘‘They could get 

guns from any of a thousand places. If you go 

downtown at noon, you’d see 30 unlocked pickups 

with guns in the gun racks.’’

4 Opinion The 

Birthdays 

capture 

a child's 

energies 

T 

here are a few things in life that, no matter what, 

make me feel better. One is birthdays, especially 

a child’s. 

There’s nothing that can 

compare to the joy of watching 

a child anticipate that day they 

call their own. 

The excitement begins with 

a faint glimmer of realization 

— “My birthday is only two 

months away” — and explodes 

into a full frenzy at least a 

week before the big day. 

Then the countdown begins. 

“ Only six more, only five 

more, only four more … days 

until my birthday.” 

This is when they also 

launch a full-scale public 

relations/advertising campaign. They pull out all the 

stops to ensure that their birthday is not forgotten. They 

drop hints about what they want. They constantly 

remind you that their birthday is “tomorrow.” They are 

absolutely absorbed in the plans for the big day. 

This leads to my favorite part about kids’ birthdays 

— shopping. 

I love to scheme and plan and browse to try to find 

the perfect gift for that child I want to bless. 

It takes a lot of thought and effort to ferret out the 

gift that will bring joy at the first snippet that peaks out 

from the wrapping paper and delighted ooohhs at the 

final unveiling. 

Sometimes I’ll see something I think is totally cool, 

but it’s not right for the child. So I have to think “Does 

this remind me of (insert name of child here)? Does this 

look like (insert name of child here?” 

Sometimes I choose the wrong color and I think days 

later … no, the red one was the right one. 

Then again, finding that perfect gift is sometimes as 

easy as walking down an aisle and spotting a green 

grasshopper pillow. “That’s it!” 

I love the anticipation in their eyes. The excitement 

of the day. The rattling and poking at presents to 

determine the contents. 

Yes, nothing delights me more than celebrating 

someone else’s birthday. 

After all, a birthday is not just any day — it’s the 

most special of days — child or adult.

Offers compromise 

to fence flap 

Editor: 

I was surprised to find the controversy over “the 

fence” on Pioneer Road is actually around what was 

known as Fort Benson, to many of us locals, years ago. 

I went to see for myself. I was stunned at the impact 

of the 6-foot solid white wall. Perhaps it isn’t the 

height of the wall — it’s the complete solid mass of the 

thing. In years past, the hedges, shrubs and brick all 

blended nicely with the surrounding landscapes. The 

stark solid white is a shock to the whole area. 

Compromise? 

Six-foot chain link next to the street and 4- or 5-foot 

white around the pool area. Chain link lets the 

landscape breathe and blend in with the surroundings. 

It would also soften the shock of the blazing white. 

I’m looking to buy a home on the hill, but definitely 

not looking at that fence.

WASHINGTON — I carry within me the childhood 

memory of nuclear air raid drills, waiting under my 

fragile school desk for that flash of light Sister said 

would signal the world’s end. 

I know, too, the present specter of a Mideast or 

Asian zealot lobbing a crude A-bomb across an 

unfriendly border — or delivering it, somehow, to us. 

Did the 51 Republicans who voted down the 

Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty enter the 

Senate chamber sharing some other life experience than 

mine? Is their fear of invading 

United Nations helicopters, 

their hatred of Bill Clinton so 

severe as to deaden their 

human aversion to nuclear 

warfare? 

If so, I must warn them of a

WASHINGTON — Usually, 

politicians work to keep military bases 

open to curry favor with constituents. But 

away from the continental United States, 

the sentiment often goes the other way. 

Hillary Rodham Clinton has become 

the latest American politician to wade 

into the maelstrom swirling around 

whether the Navy should abandon its 

bombing range on the Puerto Rican island 

of Vieques. 

The controversy — spawned by the 

death of a civilian security guard in April 

in a bombing accident — comes as the 

U.S. military is having a hard time 

finding welcome mats.

What others say... 

The New York Times, on 

departure of Kenneth Starr: 

Common sense and the rule of 

law both dictate that any 

independent counsel charged with 

investigating a president has a civic 

obligation to make a final report to 

the nation on his or her findings. 

Kenneth Starr is skittering away 

from that obligation even though 

the taxpayers, after the expenditure 

of $47 million, have every right to 

expect him to be the government’s 

most knowledgeable official on the 

Monica Lewinsky scandal, 

Whitewater and related matters. Mr. 

Starr, who accepted the job of 

independent counsel in 1994, likes 

to blame the White House for 

damaging his reputation. But no 

one in the Clinton administration 

can fairly be blamed for his failure 

to stay the course. ... 

Mr. Starr may feel that any report 

destroy them over their vote of the day before to reject 

the treaty to which he had put his hand. 

Clinton issued the warning loud and clear. As long as 

he sits in the Oval Office, countries antsy to bolster 

their nuclear arsenals might well show restraint. But the 

moment we get a commander-in-chief of a different 

bent — Republican presidential front-runner George 

W. Bush leaps to mind — all bets would be off. 

“Now, if we ever get a president that’s against the 

test ban treaty, which we may get — I mean there are 

plenty of people out there who say they are against it 

— then I think you might as well get ready for it. 

You’ll have Russia testing. You’ll have China testing. 

You’ll have India testing. You’ll have Pakistan 

testing.” 

Someone, in their partisan souls, deeper even than 

their visceral hatred of Clinton, Republicans like Trent 

Lott, must know the time bomb they have set with this 

vote. Why else did they offer to put off the humiliating 

vote if the president would promise to bring the treaty 

vote back next year on the eve of the election? 

But if they envisioned the popularity of Clinton’s 

position come the year 2000, why did they take the 

position they did last week? 

The Air Force and Navy were forced to 

close bases in the Philippines in 1992, 

U.S. nuclear-powered vessels are banned 

from New Zealand. And misbehaving 

American soldiers have strained relations 

with Japan. 

The United States must close its bases 

in Panama when that nation takes control 

of the Panama Canal after midnight 

December 31, under a treaty signed in 

1977. Panama rejected the continued 

presence of the U.S. military. 

‘‘We don’t want any more bases in our 

country,’’ Panama’s president, Mireya 

Moscoso, said in Washington on Tuesday 

after a meeting with President Clinton. 

That it would also find itself unwelcome 

in Puerto Rico is a particularly bitter pill 

MALLARD FILMORE by Bruce Tinsley 

Sheridan Press, Thursday, October 21, 1999 

from him would be tainted by the 

perception that he has pursued a 

vendetta against Mr. and Mrs. 

Clinton. But copping out on his 

duty is not the answer to that 

problem. Having led the nation on a 

tumultuous journey punctuated by 

the impeachment of a sitting 

president, Mr. Starr was obliged to 

spend a few more months deciding 

on any final indictments and 

delivering his professional 

conclusions about the quality of the 

evidence on all aspects of his 

sprawling inquiry. 

Mr. Starr took over as a former 

federal jurist with a reputation for 

sound judgment. Yesterday, by 

leaving before his job was done, he 

further diminished a reputation 

damaged for the most part by his 

own legal and public-relations 

decisions. 

Quotes 

for the Pentagon since it’s U.S. territory. 

‘‘We are not angry with the Navy. It is, 

after all, our Navy,’’ said Puerto Rican 

Gov. Pedro Rossello. ‘‘We are not angry, 

but we are convinced enough is enough.’’ 

Puerto Rican officials are near unanimous 

in their desire to see the Navy leave 

Vieques, after nearly 60-years of uneasy 

coexistence. 

Mrs. Clinton’s comments, as she 

campaigned for the Senate in New York 

earlier this week, helped to raise the 

political temperature of an already 

feverish debate. 

‘‘There should be an immediate and 

permanent end to the bombing,’’ Mrs. 

Clinton said, disagreeing with a panel 

named by her husband that on Monday 

Akron (Ohio) Beacon Journal, 

on Cincinnati case against gun 

makers: 

The potential gravy train filled 

by gun manufacturers’ money came 

to a halt in Cincinnati last week and 

there the train should remain, 

permanently derailed. 

Judge Robert Ruehlman of 

Hamilton County Common Pleas 

Court threw Cincinnati’s claim for 

damages from gun makers out of 

court. He said it didn’t belong there. 

Ruehlman based his ruling on a 

simple premise. Cincinnati had 

charged that the gun makers’ 

product is unsafe because it lacks 

sufficient safety devices, such as 

trigger guards. Yet Ohio has no law 

requiring trigger guards. 

The legislature should confront 

the issue of stronger gun controls. 

The gun manufacturers make a 

legal product. 

‘‘We have no plans to increase 

patrols, but will continue to 

monitor the area — not just for 

Ramsey’s grave, but for all the 

graves in the cemetery.’’ 

— Marietta (Ga.) police Lt. Rick Townsend, 

following graffiti in red marker on JonBenet Ramsey’s 

grave ‘‘No Justice in U.S.A.’’ in the days after a grand 

jury declined to bring charges in her death. 

‘‘Regardless of the message, the 

First Amendment says people 

have a right to express their views. 

They have a right to anonymous 

political activity.’’ 

— NYCLU executive director Norman Siegel, about 

the New York Civil Liberties Union filing a lawsuit 

claiming the New York police department improperly 

denied them a permit to hold a rally and that they have 

a First Amendment right to wear hoods at the 

demonstration. 

GOP serves up President Clinton his finest hour 

Is there some weakness in the test ban only 

Republican senators can appreciate, but which cannot 

be shared and understood by the rest of us? For if it can 

be shared, why do they fear so much to duke it out in a 

full-fledged public debate? 

By killing the treaty, they have given Clinton’s party 

a powerful issue in the next election. Remember how 

much damage Newt Gingrich inflicted on his House 

majority when he said the reason he’d closed down the 

government four years ago was because Bill Clinton 

made him sit in the back of Air Force One? 

Imagine how voters will react to the knowledge that 

the Republicans killed a nuclear test ban to spite the 

man who signed it? To the belief that the loyal 

opposition has done damage to the country simply to 

hurt the lame duck Bill Clinton? 

By their own politics, the Republicans of the U.S. 

Senate may have given us their worst hour of 

leadership, and President Clinton his finest.

‘Journal’ lists worst vacation spot 

LOS ALAMOS, N.M. (AP) — People whose job 

it is to promote Los Alamos think the folks at The 

Wall Street Journal need a geography lesson. 

Los Alamos was listed among the runner-ups for 

the world’s worst place to take the family on vacation 

in Friday’s Weekend Journal section. 

It was listed in the same category as Chernobyl, 

Ukraine, the site of the world’s worst nuclear accident; 

mosquito-and-gnat infested St. Croix State Park, 

Minn.; and Key West, Fla., where signs warn swimmers 

at some beaches of bacteria from sewage runoff. 

The article said: ‘‘Tourists who visit this famed 

nuclear-weapon making area can see the National 

Atomic Museum, where bumper stickers read ‘Get a 

Half Life, Visit the National Atomic Museum.’ Twice 

a year they can go to the Trinity Site, where the 

world’s first nuclear bomb was successfully tested.’’ 

Kevin Holsapple, executive director of the Los 

Alamos Commerce and Development Corp., said 

Saturday he ‘‘got a little bit of a hoot’’ when the article 

landed on his desk. The he pointed out the errors. 

For one thing, Holsapple said, the Atomic 

Museum is in Albuquerque. And the Trinity site is 

near Alamogordo in southern New Mexico — 

nowhere near the Los Alamos area. 

The Sheridan VA Medical 

Center has selected psychologist 

Barbara L. Ziegler as "Employee 

of the Month" for September. 

Dr. Ziegler has been actively 

involved in several research projects, 

and co-authored three technical 

papers. She is involved in 

developing a patient satisfaction 

survey, and has volunteered her 

time on several special interest 

committees at the Medical Center. 

Dr. Ziegler serves on the State 

of Wyoming Board of

— but only if the information is not shared 

with other companies. 

The rules are designed to tell companies 

how to comply with a new federal privacy 

law that bans them from collecting personal 

information from children without a parent’s 

permission. 

One of the most contentious provisions 

involved a compromise allowing businesses 

for the next two years to send e-mail to parents. 

The new rules from the Federal Trade 

Commission, approved 4-0, are expected to 

FCC expected to boost 

fund that keeps phone 

service affordable 

WASHINGTON (AP) — 

Federal subsidies that help make 

phone service affordable for people 

in rural and expensive-to-serve 

areas are expected to grow under 

action by federal regulators. 

The change by the Federal 

Communications Commission is 

part of a broader effort to revamp 

the system to prepare for the day 

when there is widespread competition 

in the local phone market. 

The commission ‘‘is taking 

another step forward in reforming 

universal service for a more competitive 

era,’’ said FCC Chairman 

Bill Kennard. ‘‘Everybody 

acknowledges that as the markets 

change and as we get more competition, 

we will transition to a new 

model.’’ 

The FCC was expected today to 

nearly double the pot of money 

available in the program that goes 

to big telephone companies, such as 

the regional Bell companies and 

GTE, that serve rural customers and 

others living in high-cost areas. 

Big phone companies now get 

$207 million in federal subsidies to 

help make local phone service 

affordable in high-cost areas in 19 

states. Of that, $130 million goes to 

the main phone company in Puerto 

Rico. Alabama and California are 

two big recipients among the states. 

Federal subsidies are mostly 

paid by fees the FCC imposes on 

AT&T, MCI, Sprint and other longdistance 

companies, which pass 

them on to customers. 

The nation’s largest long-distance 

carrier, AT&T, anticipates 

that it will have to raise the monthly 

line-item fee that consumers see on 

their bill, called the Universal 

Service Connectivity Charge, 

because of the subsidy increase. 

GOP pushes spending bill through 

WASHINGTON (AP) — Despite 

veto threats from President Clinton 

and a contentious start to budget 

talks, Republicans are continuing to 

push overdue spending bills through 

Congress for the new fiscal year. 

Republicans planned to try moving 

a $14.5 billion measure through 

the House today that would finance 

the Interior Department and cultural 

programs. The bill contains millions 

more than last year for many programs, 

but Clinton has threatened a 

veto because it has less than he wants 

for park land purchases and has provisions 

helping oil, mining and other 

industries he considers anti-environmental. 

In remarks to reporters 

Wednesday, Clinton maintained a 

positive tone. 

‘‘We still have a great opportunity 

to make this a season of progress and 

work together to pass a budget that 

lives within its means and lives up to 

our values,’’ Clinton said. ‘‘We’ve 

done it before and we can do it 

again.’’ 

On Friday, Republicans hope to 

send Clinton the last and biggest of 

the 13 annual spending measures for 

fiscal 2000, which began Oct. 1. The 

bill would provide more than $300 

billion for the departments of Health 

and Human Services, Labor and 

Education.

have a dramatic impact on hundreds of popular 

Internet sites aimed at children, which 

typically offer online games and entertainment 

in exchange for personal information 

valuable to marketers. 

Catherine Benjamin, a mother of two 

young children in Rolling Meadows, Ill., 

called the law ‘‘long overdue’’ and bristled 

at how easy children online can be persuaded 

to disclose even the most personal 

details. 

‘‘It scares us,’’ said Mrs. Benjamin, who 

recently warned her 12-year-old niece about 

these risks. ‘‘Children just give out information 

on the Internet. There’s a lot of wonderful 

opportunities on the Internet ... (but) it 

can become a dangerous tool.’’ 

The FTC will begin enforcing the new 

rules in April. 

‘‘There’s a real problem out there,’’ said 

FTC Chairman Robert Pitofsky. ‘‘We’re 

going to give the industry six months to get 

its act together to make changes. After that, 

we’ll monitor these Web sites and we’ll take 

enforcement action.’’ 

The FTC said Web sites that share chil- 

dren’s information with other companies 

must obtain a parent’s permission through 

mailed or faxed paperwork, calls to a tollfree 

number, through use of a credit-card 

number or via e-mail using nascent digital 

signature technology. 

The provision over a parent’s consent 

was among the most controversial. E-mail is 

the most convenient and immediate method 

for granting permission, but it’s also simple 

to impersonate another person online — 

especially for kids who often know more 

about technology than their parents. 

Fire prevention helped Teton lodge avoid blaze 

JACKSON (AP) — Two years of 

fire prevention helped firefighters 

beat back flames that threatened a historic 

lodge in Grand Teton National 

Park last week, a park official said. 

Crews had been thinning trees and 

removing dead logs from in front of 

Jenny Lake Lodge in case of such an 

emergency, said Len Dems, the park’s 

fire management officer. 

Their efforts caused the fire to 

approach the 77-year-old lodge in 

pulses rather than a large wave. That 

helped firefighters stop the fire at a 

road in front of the lodge. Fire fighters 

also sprayed the buildings with 

foam as the fire approached. 

‘‘We probably have not seen a fire 

in that area for 120 to 200 years,’’ 

Dems said. 

The fire had been burning for 

about six weeks when strong winds 

whipped it out of control. The blaze 

jumped Jenny Lake and String Lake 

and eventually consumed 312 acres. 

Some residents said the park 

should have suppressed the fire sooner. 

Joanne Hennes said she is grateful 

the lodge was saved but is sad to lose 

one of her favorite hikes. 

Many of the trails that burned were 

flat and accessible to senior citizens, 

she said. 

‘‘It would have been nice to have 

stopped it before it crossed String 

Lake,’’ she said. ‘‘For six weeks, you 

could have put it out with a bucket.’’ 

Before the fire grew out of control, 

park officials decided that the benefits 

of a natural fire outweighed the risks. 

Fire is known to restore diversity to 

the forest by creating a mosaic of 

mature and young trees and brush. 

Typically, late fall is a good time 

of year for controlling fires because 

cool temperatures and precipitation 

keep them in check, Dems said. So 

when a cold front started moving 

through the area last week, fire offi-

Wisconsin man 

dies in Torrington 

shooting 

TORRINGTON (AP) — An 18year-old 

man was killed after handling 

a gun that he and three runaways 

had stolen during a crosscountry 

burglary spree, authorities 

said. 

Benjamin Buck, 18, who lived 

near Caruthersville, Mo., died after 

the .45-caliber Smith and Wesson 

automatic discharged in a motel 

room at about 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, 

said Police Chief Billy Janes. 

Buck was struck in the left side 

of the head and later died at a hospital 

in Scottsbluff, Neb., Janes said. 

An ‘‘extremely’’ shaken trio of 

juveniles were taken to the Goshen

‘‘We don’t have anything that’s 

inconsistent with an accidental 

shooting at this time,’’ Janes said. 

Trio fined 

for digging up 

petrified wood 

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL 

PARK (AP) — Three people have 

been fined and sentenced to probation 

for digging up petrified wood in 

Yellowstone National Park, according 

to park officials. 

Toby P. Brown, 21, and Katrina 

the fire had jumped across the 

lakes, park officials called in air 

tankers, helicopters, engines 

and crews to fight it. 

At that point, the fire began 

‘‘no agenda’’ in Painter’s case or on 

alternative medicine. 

Riske said the board inquiry and 

order came about because of complaints 

from two of Painter’s patients 

who said they were misdiagnosed. 

Painter is appealing a board order 

issued in March that found her negligent 

and requires her to complete a 

four-week training course in 

endocrinology at the University of 

Utah School of Medicine. 

The board directed the physician 

to cooperate with periodic random 

M. Usher, both of Upton, Mass., 

and Andrew S. Trick, 19, of Beaver 

Creek, Ohio, pleaded guilty on Oct. 

13 to charges of removing natural 

features from the park. 

They were accused of digging up 

more than 150 pieces of petrified 

wood near the Petrified Tree, about 

three miles west of Tower Junction, 

park Superintendent Michael Finley 

said. 

Visitors told rangers they saw 

the trio digging in the ground with a 

screwdriver on the slope above the 

tree on Oct. 8. The pieces were 

found in a car and small backpack, 

Finley said. 

All of the petrified wood pieces 

will be returned to their natural state 

if possible, Finley said. 

The three were each fined $750, 

placed on three years of probation 

and barred from entering the park 

for three years. 

No death penalty 

in window 

death case 

CHEYENNE (AP) — 

Prosecutors will not seek the death 

penalty against a transient accused 

of dropping another man to his 

death out of a downtown third-floor 

hotel window. 

Brian Holloman, 39, is charged 

with first-degree murder in the July 

25 death of Douglas Johnson. 

Police say Holloman pushed 

Johnson out of a window. 

Holloman could have faced the 

death penalty, but Laramie County 

District Attorney Jon Forwood said 

he decided on life in prison for several 

reasons. 

‘‘You have to look at the nature 

to burn intensely because of 

fuel accumulated on the forest 

floor as a result of past firesuppression 

efforts, Dems 

said. 

Board of medicine accused of 

intense attack against physician 

reviews of the office charts of her 

patients by a board-certified internist 

on three occasions for one year. 

The board also found that Painter 

violated the code of medical ethics by 

subjecting one of her patients to testing 

for a clinical study without the 

patient’s consent or knowledge. 

During oral arguments before the 

Supreme Court Wednesday, Toner 

said the board’s action against Painter 

was ‘‘foreordained’’ from the beginning 

because Painter fought the board 

and held her hearings in public. 

of the crime, our evidence, public 

sentiment and cost,’’ he said. 

‘‘You need a compelling case with 

tremendous public support.’’ 

Forwood said prosecutors are 

seeking a habitual criminal charge 

against Holloman as an additional 

penalty. 

A tentative trial date has been 

set for Feb. 7 in Laramie County 

District Court before Judge Dan 

Spangler. 

Officials make 

valuable economic 

contacts 

CHEYENNE (AP) — Wyoming 

made some valuable contacts with 

executives of leading worldwide 

businesses, economic development 

officials said Wednesday. 

Wyoming participated in the 

International Development 

Research Council conference in 

Nashville, Tenn., earlier this week. 

The council is a worldwide corporate 

advisory body developing business 

networking, education and 

research for Fortune 500 and 

Global 1,000 firms. 

Some 2,000 senior executives of 

the world’s largest companies were 

on hand, and about 700 stopped by 

Wyoming’s booth, according to 

John Reardon, chief executive officer 

for the Wyoming Business 

Council. 

There were 22 states represented 

at the conference. 

Reardon and other Business 

Council officials said it is important 

for Wyoming to make such contacts 

and build relationships with company 

executives if it is to promote 

economic development.

Charges filed 

in Yosemite 

sightseer slaying 

MARIPOSA, Calif. (AP) — 

Relatives of three sightseers slain in 

Yosemite National Park say they 

are glad murder charges have been 

filed against a motel handyman 

who allegedly confessed to the 

killings three months ago. 

‘‘I think I’ll feel a resolution 

when it’s all done — when this 

man is in jail or in prison for at least 

the rest of his life,’’ said Carole 

Carrington, whose daughter, Carole 

Sund, and granddaughter, Juli 

Sund, were two of the victims. 

Cary Stayner, 38, was charged 

with three murder counts on 

Wednesday. He could face the 

death penalty if convicted. 

FBI investigators say Stayner 

confessed in late July to killing 

Sund, 42, her daughter Juli, 15, and 

their Argentine friend Silvina

GOLDEN, Colo. (AP) — A

The 17-year-old student, whose 

name was withheld because he is a 

juvenile, was jailed Tuesday on 

charges of inciting destruction of 

life or property, and theft for 

allegedly stealing a school microphone. 

He was held on $500,000

A student reported that the teen

Dylan Klebold,’’ Sheriff John P.

Republicans say informal negotiations 

continue, and it’s the Democrats who have 

caused delay by not responding to their latest 

proposals. 

‘‘I would hope that unprovoked political 

posturing would be held back so that 

we can bring this to fruition for 

American’s children,’’ House Judiciary 

Committee Chairman Henry Hyde, R-Ill., 

WASHINGTON (AP) — Cellular telephone 

calls would be taxed as if they came from a 

caller’s home or office regardless of where in the 

country they were made under a bill introduced 

in the Senate Wednesday. 

Backers of the plan, including cities, governors 

and cell phone companies, contend it would 

eliminate a confusing patchwork of taxes on calls 

from mobile phones. 

‘‘It’s a radical simplification of the current 

system,’’ said Utah Gov. Mike Leavitt, chairman 

of the National Governors Association.

Taxation of wireless phone calls currently is 

based on various factors such as the relay tower 

that picks up a phone’s signal or the switching 

center that directs the call to its recipient. That 

means the same call could be taxed several times, 

especially if the caller moves through several 

cities, counties or states while talking. 

The bill, introduced by Sens. Sam 

Brownback, R-Kan., and Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., 

would allow calls to be taxed on the state and 

local governments with jurisdiction over the 

caller’s home or office address.

At issue in Congress are gun restrictions

not contain gun restrictions, and lawmakers

the differences between the two bills.

Cellular phone companies say the change

possibly lower rates, supporters say.

8 Sports The 

Home for the playoffs 



What Wind River lacks in size, they make up for in speed, according to 

Tongue River head coach P.J. Marshall. 

The Eagles play Wind River in both team’s Class 1A Division I playoff 

opener in Dayton Friday at 1 p.m. 

“Offensively, they like to spread it out and run wide,” said Eagle’s 

defensive coordinator Mel Reeves. “They’re a short team, very quick.” 

The Cougars 5-10, 150-pound junior tailback Branden Inman and 5-10, 

160-pound junior quarterback Joe Theilen pose the biggest threat to the 

Eagles, said Marshall. 

“Their quarterback throws the football pretty well, so our secondary — 

corners and safeties — have to have their heads up,” Marshall said. 

“Donnie Horn, Ian Oswald, Shaun and Chris Gardiner are going to have to 

be awake. They like to throw to the tailback. I don’t think the passing game 

is what’s going to hurt us. Geoffrey Scott and Bryant Lofgren will have to 

do a good job containing Wind River’s tailback.” 

Marshall foresees Tongue River shutting down Wind River’s rushing 

inside. The Cougars run out of a spread offense and are a strong option 

team. 

“If we can contain them, can wear on them, if they make our big guys 

run to the outside every time, it’ll wear us down,” Reeves said. “Our defensive 

ends have got to do their job.” 

Defensively, the Eagles are up to the challenge, Marshall said.

Sports Editor 

Friday’s quarterfinal playoff game 

between Sheridan and Evanston falls in 

familiar territory for both programs. 

Sheridan traveled to Evanston for the 

1997 state championship game, a contest 

where a late rally by the Broncs fell short 

in a 25-20 loss, and the Broncs beat 

Evanston in last year’s playoff opener 48- 

28. 

So what’s new for coach Bert Dow and 

this year’s Broncs? 

“What I like is we know something 

about them. It is not like we are 

going against somebody we haven’t 

seen,” Dow said. “I think the advantage 

goes to us in that situation.” 

Evanston is the No. 2 seed from 

the South Conference and is 6-1 

overall. 

The Broncs are the No. 3 seed 

from the North Conference and are 

4-3 overall. 

What’s familiar, and not necessarily 

welcome for Evanston head 

coach Doug Rigby, is Jeff Martini 

as the Broncs’ quarterback. 

Martini was the starting quarterback 

in the two previous meetings in 

Evanston. 

He played the entire second half 

of the state championship game with 

a broken left thumb. 

Last year, Martini ran for three 

touchdowns and threw for one, and 

was instrumental in the Broncs’ late 

comeback that fell short in the state 

title game. 

“What he did as a sophomore, 

and last year, Jeff Martini should be 

the quarterback of the decade,” 

Rigby said. “It’s a great tribute to 

Jeff and the coaching staff to be put 

in this situation year in and year 

out.” 

It could be viewed the 450-mile 

road trip would not help the Broncs and 

would give the hometown Red Devils an 

advantage, but Rigby is skeptical. 

“Last year I thought that, but they came 

down here and put a whippin’ on us,” he 

said. 

Both teams come into the playoff game 

from opposite ends of the momentum 

spectrum — Sheridan off a 37-34 overtime 

homecoming victory over Cheyenne 

Central, and Evanston off an 18-13 loss in 

the South Conference championship game 

against Green River. 

“It was a typical conference championship 

game,” Rigby said. “We had a hard 

time moving the ball and Green River did 

Donnie 

Horn 

Deja Vu 

Broncs travel to Evanston for third 

playoff game in as many seasons 

a great job offensively putting us in bad 

situations. It was a game that came down 

to the wire. We had the ball with four minutes 

left and threw an interception at 15 

yard line.” 

The winner of Friday’s playoff game 

moves on to face the winner of the 

Natrona-Rock Springs game. The loser is 

done for the season. 

“It’s a huge game for us,” Rigby said. 

“It is hard for our kids to get motivated. 

We had a perfect season going into Green 

River. The kids are fairly disappointed 

after the loss, but everybody is zero, zero. 

It is a game everybody has to win.” 

For the Broncs, heading back to 

Evanston for the playoffs is “an advantage 

in preparation and our kids know 

what it is like there,” Dow said. 

“Actually, we’ve played quite well there. 

It is a long road trip, but the kids on this 

team have been there.” 

A further advantage for the Broncs is 

Evanston runs a similar offense to 

Sheridan’s with the option game, but the 

Red Devils lost their starting quarterback 

earlier this year. 

“You look at them, the type of offense 

they run is similar to ours. I think they 

have been hurt by injuries. I think the

ON THE RUN — Sheridan Bronc fullback Buck Meyer 

stays out of reach of Cheyenne Central defenders in the 

Broncs homecoming game. 

Seth 

Hiller 

In seven games and two playoff halves, Tongue River has held opponents 

to less than 1,000 total yards of offense while rushing for 2,300 yards. 

“Defensively, our kids have played very good football all year long. We 

know they’ll be up to the task,” Marshall said. “We’ll utilize our skill people 

and our big line.” 

D.J. Dearcorn leads in tackles, followed by defensive end Geoffrey 

Scott, middle linebacker Joe White, defensive back Shaun Gardiner and 

linebacker Seth Hiller. 

The Eagles plan to run the ball on offense. 

“We have three great running backs, hard-nosed running backs in DJ 

Dearcorn, Wess Doke and Seth Hiller,” he said. 


QUARTERBACK 

Jeff Martini will lead 

the Broncs against 

Evanston for the 

third time. 

teams we’ve played all year have prepared 

us for a game like this,” Dow 

said. 

“Sheridan is a tough team to get 

ready for because they do some many 

thing offensively — probably the most 

balanced offense we’ve seen.” Rigby 

noted. 

Evanston fullback 

David Bennett (5-10, 210. 

Sr.) ran for a touchdown 

against Green River, and tailback 

Nate Lonsway (5-9, 160, 

Sr.) ran for five scores 

against Rock Springs in week 

five. 

With the performance 

against Rock Springs, “He 

got himself recognized, so he 

probably is our kid right 

now,” Rigby said. 

Tight end Kelly Poppinga 

(6-2, 215, Sr.) is the main target 

in Evanston’s passing 

game. 

While Dow said Evanston is 

a good team, the upbeat tone 

of practice this week at SHS 

Stadium has led to confidence 

throughout the coaching staff, 

and more importantly the 

team following its OT victory 

over Cheyenne Central. 

“That is a big win and not 

The Sheridan Press/Roger Ames just in the way it ended up,” 

Dow said. “I think it was good 

for the kids who watched it. If 

you look back on it, it was the 

type of game you would have 

liked to have earlier in the season, 

say against Great Falls, 

and it would have set the tone for the 

rest of the season. At the end of the 

game, where time was an obvious factor, 

the kids could have given up. As 

coaches, there were things we haven’t 

seen all year. The kids are confident 

and I think that is a big boost going 

into this part of the season.” 

The Broncs left today at 1 p.m. and 

were scheduled to practice at Rawlins 

High School tonight. The team will 

stay in Rawlins, then leave for 

Evanston Friday morning. The team is 

scheduled to drive back to Sheridan 

after the game. 

Rams travel to Riverside ATLANTA 



The Big Horn Rams will face a challenge Friday night 

when they face the undefeated Riverside Rebels in Basin. 

Kick-off for the Class 1A Division II playoff game is 7 p.m. 

“They’re big and physical,” said Ram’s head coach Rick 

Scherry. “Their specialty is just running the football right at 

you and making you try to stop it. We’re going to have to 

play good enough defense to slow them down, make them put 

long drives together... create some turnovers.” 

The Rebels are not as aggressive on defense, which should 

help Big Horn’s passing game, he said. The Rams cannot be 

plagued with turnovers and dropped passes, however, to be 

successful. They play a 4-4 defense with big players up front, 

Scherry said. 

“We hope to be able to get outside on them and throw the 

ball,” he said. 

The Rams have not made playoffs since 1994, so getting 

in was a goal accomplished, Scherry said. 

“But hopefully, the kids aren’t satisfied with just being in 

the playoffs,” he said. 

A victory would advance the Rams to the Oct. 30 playoff 

game in Cokeville or Lingle-Ft. Laramie. 

“We’re assuming Cokeville will beat Lingle-Ft. Laramie, 

so we’ll be going to Cokeville next Saturday,” he said. 


Eagles host Wind River Friday at 1 p.m. 

D.J. 

Dearcorn 

Dearcorn has rushed for nearly 1,000 yards and 17 touchdowns 

this season. Doke has tallied almost 800 yards and eight touchdowns. 

“Seth Hiller has been a very valuable fullback for us this year, 

getting the first down when we need it at the end of the game and 

he’s been a really good blocker for D.J. and Wess,” Marshall 

said. 

The offensive line is back to full strength with the return of 

Charlie Barney and Bryant Lofgren, who were injured in the 

Moorcroft game last Friday. 

“Our offensive line has done a great job for us this year — Joe 

White at center, Reo Barney at guard, Bryant Lofgren at tackle, 

Charlie Barney at tackle, Geoffrey Scott at tight end and Ian 

Oswald at end. And of course Donnie Horn, as a junior has done 

an outstanding job, not only at throwing the ball, but at handing off and 

executing our plays.” 

Doke has averaged 40 yards a game on punts and he ran back two punt 

returns for touchdowns. Dearcorn hasn’t missed a point after touchdown 

kick. 

“I just wanted to say we’ve played extremely hard football throughout 

the course of the year and our kids are excited to play to the best of their 

ability. We’re excited about hosting the first round of playoffs at Tongue 

River. And they’re determined to be successful,” Marshall concluded. 

If the Eagles win, they will play the winner of the Lusk-Shoshoni 

matchup at home Oct. 30.

NICE CATCH — Chase Kistler makes a one handed grab in the first quarter 

of the game against Cheyenne Central Friday. His catch and run set up 

a Bronc touchdown. 

Rose scheduled to be on field before Game 2 

(AP) — Pete Rose, lifetime 

ban and all, is scheduled to be on the field 

Sunday before Game 2 of the World Series 

as part of baseball’s All-Century team. 

Fans voted for the century’s top 25 players, 

including nine outfielders, and Rose was 

consistently ninth in the voting, which ran 

from July 13-Sept. 19. His election was confirmed 

Wednesday by a baseball official 

familiar with the final vote totals, speaking 

on the condition he not be identified. 

Baseball commissioner Bud Selig decided 

in August that Rose could participate in the 

All-Century team if he was elected. Rose, 

however, was not invited to a luncheon 

before the All-Star game that honored the 

living members among the 100 on the ballot. 

Rose, then manager of the Cincinnati 

Reds, agreed on Aug. 23, 1989, to a lifetime 

ban from baseball following an investigation 

into his gambling, a deal announced the following 

day by commissioner A. Bartlett 

Giamatti. 

Baseball’s career hits leader applied for 

reinstatement in September 1997. While 

Selig hasn’t formally ruled on the application, 

he’s made clear numerous times that he 

has no intention of lifting the ban. 

The All-Century team, which includes 

five people overlooked by fans and added by 

a special panel, will be announced Saturday 

and honored the following day.

Scoreboard The 

Sheridan College rodeo team 

members among region leaders 

CHEYENNE —The Sheridan College 

Rodeo Team had a wild ride at the Laramie 

County Community College Rodeo this past 

weekend. 

Freshman Teka Brock qualified for the short 

round in the goat tying with a third place time of 

7.7 seconds. Brock then dominated the short 

round with a 7.3 second run — 1.1 seconds 

faster than the second-place time earning her a 

first place in both the goat tying short round and 

average for the rodeo. Her finish moved her into 

first place in the Central Rocky Mountain 

Region standings. 

All-around hand Amy Callen had some hard 

Teka 

Brock 

luck, missing qualifying for breakaway roping and barrel racing by 

one place, and by just 0.02 seconds for barrel racing short round. 

Freshmen Joe Hampson and Pat Daly both qualified for the short 

round in the bareback riding competition. 

Hampson went into the short round in sixth place with a score of 66 

points, while Daly qualified in a third-fourth place tie with Kelly 

Timberman of Casper College with a score of 73 points. 

Hampson finished third in the short go with a 71-point ride, and 

Daly finished fourth in both the short go and average. 

Hampson is in third place and Daly is fifth in the regional standings 

for that event. Heath Ford from Central Wyoming College won the 

bareback riding with a total of 150 points on two rides. 

Saddle bronc riders Dustin Thompson and Chet Johnson both qualified 

for the short round competition. Thompson qualified in tenth

Joe 

Hampson 

place aboard a reride horse with a score of 64 points, while Johnson took second place in the long go with a score 

of 75 points. 

Both riders bucked off their short round horses, but because only two riders, Brandon Munn from LCCC, and 

Sandy Forbes of Casper College, rode their short round horses, Johnson finished third in the average on one head. 

Munn won with a total of 153 points on two rides. 

Team roper Josh Hodge qualified for the short round in ninth place with Tyler Smith of Casper College, with a 

time of 7.4 seconds on their first steer. A fast run of 6.00 in the short round secured Hodge and Smith a first place 

win in both the team roping short round and average. Hodge moved into second place in the Central Rocky 

Mountain Region standings, 2.5 points behind the current regional leader. 

Freshman all-around hand Aaron Adams qualified for the short round in bull riding in a tie for seventh-eighth 

place with Ray Thurston of LCCC with a score of 72 points aboard Burns Rodeo’s bull #210. 

Adams then topped Burns’ bull Mountain Man in the short round for a score of 74 points, which put him in a tie 

for fourth-fifth place in the go with Josh Johnson of Eastern Wyoming College. 

Jim Morgan from Central Wyoming College won the Bull Riding with a total score of 154 points on two rides. 

Adams hold points in both the bull riding and calf roping in the Central Rocky Mountain Region. 

Griese earns starting 

job for another week 

DENVER (AP) — Brian Griese on Wednesday 

regained the starting quarterback job that he never really 

lost in the first place. 

Confused? It’s understandable these days as the 

Denver Broncos continue to search for a stable successor 

to John Elway. 

Griese, promoted in the preseason, lost his job to 

Bubby Brister in the wake of Denver’s 0-4 start, but he 

has led the Broncos to consecutive wins after a muscle 

strain prevented Brister from accepting his promotion. 

Brister threw on the side Wednesday and remains 

questionable for Sunday’s game at New England. 

Griese’s solid performances have made Brister’s ailing 

rib muscle a moot point. 

‘‘Brian would still be the quarterback,’’ coach Mike 

Shanahan said. ‘‘I like the way he played. I like the 

way he handled himself, and we played well around 

him.’’ 

Griese, in his second year out of Michigan, seems to 

have gained confidence in the past two weeks, remaining 

poised in the pocket and scrambling when things 

break down. 

He threw an interception inside the red zone Sunday 

but countered with two touchdown passes and another 

TD run. Griese also finished with 363 yards through the 

air. 

‘‘I’ve come to learn that if you’re given the starting 

job and have an opportunity to play, you need to 

respect that because it’s not always going to be there 

and it’s dependent on your performance,’’ Griese said. 

‘‘I’m going to do everything I can to continue to prove 

(Shanahan) right.’’ 

Rockies hire Bell 

DENVER (AP) — Despite a career winning percentage of .399 as a 

manager, Buddy Bell was the No. 1 choice of Colorado Rockies general 

manager Dan O’Dowd from Day One. 

On Wednesday, the Rockies made it official, introducing Bell as the 

third manager in the team’s seven-year history, succeeding Jim Leyland, 

who retired after this season. 

Under orders from the commissioner’s office to consider minority candidates, 

the Rockies had discussions with four minorities — Arizona coach 

Carlos Tosca, Cincinnati coach Ken Griffey, Florida minor league manager 

Lynn Jones and New York Yankees coach Willie Randolph. Colorado had 

a black manager, Don Baylor, the first six years of its existence. 

‘‘I interviewed four minorities who were very impressive,’’ O’Dowd 

said, ‘‘but none of them impressed me as much as Buddy Bell. He is the 

perfect fit for this ballclub.’’ 

Bell, 48, who managed the Detroit Tigers from 1996-98, described himself 

as a player’s manager who will emphasize defense and team chemistry. 

Bell — who has worked for the Cincinnati Reds for the past year, most 

recently as director of player development — signed a three-year contract 

believed to be worth about $2.25 million. 

O’Dowd, named the Rockies general manager a month ago, said Bell 

‘‘knows the game. He knows how it should be played, and he will demand 

that from every one of our players. He understands the importance of creating 

an atmosphere where every player has the potential to play to the best 

of his ability.’’ 

O’Dowd also promised to acquire talent ‘‘to give Buddy the chance to 

put the kind of product on the field to realize our mission: having a championship-contending 

ballclub each and every year.’’ 

Denied those assurances in Detroit, Bell guided the Tigers back to 

respectability but was fired late in his third season. 

He finished runnerup in the 1997 AL Manager of the Year balloting 

after leading the Tigers to a 79-83 record, a 26-game improvement over the 

previous year. But the Tigers cut their payroll for 1998, and Bell was fired 

on Sept. 1, 1998, after a 52-85 mark. 

‘‘My run in Detroit was great as long as it lasted,’’ Bell said at a news 

conference. ‘‘I think it taught me I could manage. It also taught me about 

getting along with people in the organization, how important scouting and 

player development are, the business side of things. Everybody has to work 

together. When you’re a player, you don’t necessarily understand that.’’ 

Griese named conference 

offensive player of the week 

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Denver Broncos 

quarterback Brian Griese has been named the 

American Football Conference offensive player of 

the week, the NFL said Wednesday. 

During the week of Oct. 17, Griese completed 19 

of 31 passes for 363 yards and two touchdowns for a 

110.0 passer rating. He also ran for a TD in the 

Broncos’ 31-10 victory over the Green Bay Packers. 

With the score tied 3-3 at the half, Griese led 

Denver to touchdowns on four of six second-half 

drives before kneeling on the ball of the Green Bay 

12 as time expired. 

In the second half, Griese completed six of nine 

passes for 211 yards and two touchdowns for 149.3 

passer rating (158.3 is perfect). He closed the scoring 

with a two-yard touchdown run in the fourth 

quarter. 

By no means is Griese’s starting job permanent. 

Shanahan said he will continue to evaluate Brister’s 

health as well as Griese’s progression as a first-year 

starter. 

‘‘Let’s take this thing week by week,’’ Shanahan 

said. ‘‘Hopefully he’ll keep on playing like he’s played. 

I’m going to have to make decisions in the best interest 

of the team, and it’s hard to say right now when you’re 

2-4.’’

because any construction is at least 

six months away, Sheridan City Attorney 

Steve Gregerson said.

Cat survives trip to dump inside crushing truck 

GILLETTE (AP) — If cats have 

nine lives, one long-haired calico has 

probably used up six of hers. 

A year-old cat known simply as 

‘‘Kitty’’ survived a trip to the 

Campbell County landfill this month 

after hitching a ride in a garbage 

truck that compacted its trash — and 

the feline — repeatedly. 

‘‘She probably got compacted 

five or six times,’’ said Craig 

McOmie, county recycling coordinator. 

Once at the landfill, ‘‘She popped 

out and climbed to the top of the 

pile,’’ he said. 

After a worker noticed the cat, 

landfill operators retrieved it, fed it 

and called animal control. 

‘‘She howled until we came to her 

rescue. I thought she would run when 

we approached her but she was just 

scared and wanted somebody to pick 

her up,’’ McOmie said. 

Mary Padova, a county animal 

control officer, said she has never 

seen anything like it. 

‘‘She wasn’t hurt, just smelly,’’ 

she said. 

No one claimed the cat at the 

pound. 

‘‘We hung on to her and hoped 

someone would call in. No one ever 

did,’’ city animal control officer 

Bonnie Driskill said. ‘‘She was a real 

lover and just kind of a character.’’ 

Then, as luck would have it, 9year-old 

Katie Malgren spotted her 

and thought she was ‘‘pretty, soft and 

spunky.’’ 

Katie’s family had just moved to 

the county from Washington three 

months ago and were looking for a 

cat to replace Katie’s missing cat, 

Ike. 

Although Ike was later found, 

Kitty has become a living legend in 

the Malgren household. 

‘‘It was so amazing a cat could 

survive that,’’ said Katie’s mom, 

Elizabeth Malgren. ‘‘We wanted it 

more because we knew what it had 

been through. An animal who had 

lost half its lives at the dump 

deserved to have a home.’’

The trail segment of concern to Anderson 

and Garlow is across a flood control easement 

along Little Goose Creek. 

The easement was granted to the city of 

Sheridan Oct. 22, 1965, according to court 

documents. 

Camp Great Bear’s petition for an injunction 

alleges the proposed pathway, if constructed, 

would diminish the privacy and 

security of the RV park and increase the 

park’s liability. 

Attorney for the corporation is G. Albert 

Sinn of Worland.

Gregerson in an answer filed to the petition 

stated in part the action is premature 

because no immediate plans or funds are 

available for a pathway in the area, although 

there are plans for such a pathway at some 

time in the future. 

Gregerson said Anderson and Garlow 

withdrew the petition at this time in 

exchange for a stipulation the city would not 

break ground for a pathway until at least the 

first of May. 

“There is no permanent resolution,” 

Gregerson said. “But the city has no plans to 

build a trail now anyway. It’s wintertime.”

DEAR DR. GOTT: Is it possible to get worms from 

pets? My cat had a tapeworm and was given medicine 

to get rid of it. Ever since, however, my abdomen has 

been distended, I have no energy, my blood pressure 

has been low, I’m losing weight, and I 

feel a wriggling sensation inside. I’m 

not pregnant, if that’s what you’re 

thinking. What should I do? 

DEAR READER: Get a stool analysis 

for worms. Cat tapeworm can be 

spread to humans by finger-to-mouth 

contact when the parasite’s eggs are 

excreted, end up on objects or in soil, 

and are inadvertently ingested. 

That said, I doubt that your symptoms are due to a tapeworm. 

We are not usually aware of tapeworm infestation 

until anemia develops or we pass the parasites in 

the stool. You probably have to look elsewhere for other 

causes of your distension, low energy and wriggling 

sensations. Nonetheless, a stool analysis is definitely in 

order. 

DEAR DR. GOTT: I know that obesity, rapid 

weight loss and frequent changes in weight can increase 

the risk of gallstones. Is there anything I can do to prevent 

stone-formation? 

DEAR READER: Exercise. As surprising as this 

sounds, recreational physical activity may not only 

reduce the incidence of gallbladder surgery, but may 

also — in some unknown manner — prevent the forma- 

DEAR ABBY: The letter from 

“Shaking in Harrisburg, Pa.” hit 

close to home. She said her son was 

being married in a few weeks, and 

was insisting that she dance with 

her abusive former husband at the 

wedding. 

My daughter married a year ago, 

and she was kind enough to realize 

that asking me to dance with my ex 

at her wedding was like asking me 

to dance with the devil himself. She 

told me she would never put me 

through it, knowing how hard the 

divorce was on me. 

Abby, I, too, am engaged to a 

wonderful man now. I never 

thought life could be so beautiful. 

At the wedding reception, I stood 

looking at the man who had hurt me 

so deeply and took a real hard look 

at him. I asked myself why I was 

still so fearful of him even though I 

had put my life back together. I 

realized at that moment that I really 

wouldn’t completely put my life 

back together unless I faced my fear 

of him. 

My children were stunned when 

I walked over and 

asked him to dance. 

I held my head up 

and looked him 

straight in the face. 

He couldn’t even 

look me in the eye. 

It wasn’t long 

before I realized 

the man was nothing 

more than a “weasel,” and I 

actually began to smile. By the time 

the dance was over, I realized I 

could put the past behind me. All 

my fears were gone. 

Weeks later, my daughter asked 

me why I had danced with her 

father when she knew it was the last 

thing on earth I wanted to do. I told 

her the truth — that I hadn’t done it 

for HER. I did it for ME. She 

knows the past is finally behind me, 

and she is proud of me.

tion of gallstones. These were the conclusions of a large 

study recently reported in the New England Journal of 

Medicine (September 9, 1999). Apparently, the level of 

beneficial exercise can be quite moderate: A daily 30 to 

40 minute walk, for instance. Of course, regular physical 

activity provides other health benefits as well, such 

as better circulation, lessening of depression and 

improved cardiovascular conditioning. So, if you are 

prone to gallstones, start an exercise program.

DEAR DR. GOTT: Why are some people especially 

prone to strep throats every winter? Does having a tonsillectomy 

help the situation? 

DEAR READER: For unknown reasons, some people 

are more susceptible than others to streptococcal 

throat infections. Strep bacteria are spread from one 

person to another; hence, infections are more common 

in close social situations, such as schools and offices. 

Certain healthy individuals appear to carry strep germs 

and not know it; therefore, they may feel well but can 

infect susceptible persons. Finally, strep infections are 

often more common in patients with tonsils; removing 

the tonsils may prevent repeated infections.

Please tell “Shaking” that she 

needs to face her past fears to really 

get on with her life and be happy. 

— IN CONTROL AT LAST IN 

MINNESOTA 

DEAR IN CONTROL: I applaud 

you for conquering your fears and 

going on with your life. However, 

unless someone is ready to do that, I 

would never push her. You are not 

the only reader who identified with 

“Shaking in Harrisburg” and wanted 

to offer encouragement. Read 

on: 

DEAR ABBY: I danced with my 

ex-husband at my son’s wedding 

this summer. I can understand why 

“Shaking” is unhappy, but she 

might want to give this some consideration: 

I view my ex as an emotionally 

handicapped person and more like a 

nonfavorite cousin. Because we 

have children, I feel we will always 

be “related.” I no longer focus on 

the difficulty of our divorce eight 

years ago. If her ex still has her 

shaking, then she’s letting him live 

rent-free in her head. Surely he’s 

not worth it. She should focus on 

him instead as the man she loved 

when her son was conceived and 

born (if that was the case) and how 

wonderful it was that they produced 

something so good. 

Our 26-year-old daughter was 

surprised we danced so well together. 

I reminded her that there were 

many things we did well together, 

which is why we married in the first 

place — even if it didn’t last. — 

WISER NOW 

DEAR WISER NOW: I congratulate 

you for your tact, and for handling 

the situation with humor as 

well as grace. You’re fast on your 

feet in more ways than one.

Q. Why was it the great cattle herds 

didn’t come along until after the Civil 

War? 

A. Traders and trappers in the Old 

West hadn’t realized cattle could survive 

even grow heavy on dry wild 

grass. Not until 1859. That’s when a 

prospector with no fodder for his oxen 

turned them loose, expecting them to 

starve over the winter. They didn’t. He 

and others realized the plains would 

support herds without augmented 

feeding. 

It was Alexander the Great who 

introduced eggplant into Europe, but 

you don’t hear much about it. 

Q. Can you tell this old boy if 

there’s even so much as one town in 

the country where the women outnumber 

the men? 

A. Here’s one. The male-to-female 

ratio in Jackson, Miss., at last report 

was 88.3 men to 100 women. You 

may have to change planes. 

Q. Where’s “Lutetia”? 

A. That was an ancient name for 

Paris. 

Here’s another defense against athlete’s 

foot: You don’t get it, if you 

don’t wear shoes. 

Squid blood is blue. And it’s a lot 

thinner than human blood.

All Librans have a fondness 

for partnership arrangements, 

but in the year ahead 

matters where you operate 

independently of others will 

be the ones that could be the 

most successful.

Once a disagreement is introduced, 

it will be difficult to 

subdue today, so stay away 

from issues that have caused 

you and your mate to take 

opposing views. Get a jump

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 

22) It’s never a good policy to 

use a discussion with friends 

as a platform to criticize 

another who isn’t present. 

You’re the one who’ll come 

off looking bad today. 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23- 

Dec. 21) Sometimes there are 

no in-betweens with you and 

today could be just such a day. 

You might be either generous 

to a fault or surprisingly selfish. 

Try to temper both 

extremes. 

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22- 

Jan. 19) Instead of telling others 

what they should do, lead 

by example and show them 

how things should be done. 

Unless you take this initiative, 

you won’t get others on your 

bandwagon. 

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20- 

Feb. 19) One of your greatest 

assets is your ability to visualize 

the future, but unless your 

dreams are realistic today, 

their chances of being fulfilled 

are slim. 

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 

20) There’s no need to grant a 

request just because it is 

asked. Be strong enough to 

explain why you don’t wish to 

comply should someone ask 

something of you that you’re 

not up to doing. 

ARIES (March 21-April 

19) Little irritations can’t put 

you in a bad mood today if 

you don’t permit them to do 

so. Maintain that positive, 

upbeat attitude throughout the 

day and they’ll have no 

impact. 

TAURUS (April 20-May 

20) Usually you’re tolerant of 

others who have a difference 

of an opinion from what you 

believe, but today you might 

not take kindly to anyone who 

opposes what you think. Don’t 

overreact. 

GEMINI (May 21-June 

20) Don’t sweat the small 

stuff today and get all uptight 

over matters that are of no real 

significance. Keep your sense 

of humor about you and treat 

everything lightly. 

CANCER (June 21-July 

22) When involved in a team 

effort today, be careful you are 

not the one who gets things off 

to a bad start by demanding 

that things are done your way. 

Harmony must prevail to succeed. 

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) 

Lack of communication or 

jealous thinking mars producivity, 

so if you or your 

ohorts bring either into the 

icture, nip it in the bud 

mmediately and get on with 

our work. 

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 

2) This is not the day to get 

nvolved in risky ventures or 

nterprises. If your involveents 

get too chancy or speclative, 

a serious loss could 

nsue.

From the good 

old prewar days 

It is interesting to study international matches from a long 

time ago. Declarer-play wasn’t bad, but defensive techniques 

and bidding systems were far less sophisticated than they are 


Here is an example deal, taken from a match between Ireland 

(Eire) and Wales in 1937. How do you think the auction would 

proceed nowadays? In particular, what would you rebid with 

that South hand after opening one spade and hearing partner 

respond two diamonds? 

In the other room, after one spade and two diamonds, the 

Welsh South invented a two-heart rebid. His partner wisely 

rebid three diamonds, South continued the torture with four 

clubs, North repeated his diamonds, and South raised to game. 

When East led a club, declarer immediately claimed all 13 

tricks: plus 440. 

Here, South rebid three diamonds, which was normally 

played as nonforcing in England. (It is fine if forcing. Otherwise, 

South should either jump to four diamonds or fudge with three 

clubs; I prefer the former, 

which is “kiss” bidding: 

keep it simple, sensible.) 

North made the strangelooking 

three-spade continuation, 

then passed 

when South raised to 

game. (I would have 

thought he planned to 

retreat to five diamonds, 

but perhaps he hoped that 

both contracts would win 

only 10 tricks.) 

West led the heart 

ace: three, two, seven. 

Then West, Simon 

Rivlin, did very well, 

switching to the diamond 

nine. East ruffed, put his 

partner back on lead with 

a heart, and received a 

second diamond ruff to 

defeat the contract: plus 

50. So, Wales gained 490 

points. 


Jose weakens after 

battering Antigua 

THE VALLEY, Anguilla (AP) 

— Hurricane Jose battered 

Antigua, ripped up trees and utility 

poles on ritzy St. Barts and sleepy 

Anguilla, then weakened as it 

veered north out of the Caribbean 


By 8 a.m. EDT, the storm was 

just north of St. Thomas in the U.S. 

Virgin Islands with winds of 75 

mph, down from the 100 mph the 

storm hit yesterday. Forecasters 

said it could weaken to a tropical 

storm by the afternoon. 

Earlier today, the storm uprooted 

trees, tore down some electrical 

and telephone lines and flung 

debris on roads in Anguilla and the 

British Virgin Islands, emergency 

officials said. 

‘‘It could have been worse for 

us,’’ said Sandra Ward, a government 

spokeswoman in the British 

Virgin Islands. 

The airport and seaports in both 

territories were closed and most 

houses were boarded up. There 

were no reports of flooding, though 

Jose drenched the islands with 

heavy rains.

U.N. police investigated for 

pressuring Serbs to sell homes 

PRISTINA, Yugoslavia (AP) — U.N. police 

are investigating several fellow officers suspected 

of pressuring Serbs to sell their homes to ethnic 

Albanians at prices below market value, a U.N. 

official said today. 

The inquiry was launched after Serbian media 

reported that two U.N. officers told Serbs they 

should sell their homes to Albanians and instructed 

them to contact an ethnic Albanian lawyer to 

draw up the contracts. 

Many Serbs are keen to leave Kosovo because 

of attacks by ethnic Albanians seeking revenge 

for the Serb crackdown that left 10,000 people 

dead before NATO bombing forced Serb forces 

to withdraw in June. 

Serb media reports identified one of the officers 

under investigation as John Henderson. The 

U.N. official, who spoke on condition of 

anonymity, confirmed an officer with that name 

was under investigation but declined to give his 

nationality or other details. 

Ekrem Smaili, the lawyer named in the 

Police question 

Netanyahu about 

seized valuables 

JERUSALEM (AP) — 

Former Prime Minister 

Benjamin Netanyahu and his 

wife, Sarah, were questioned 

by police today, a day after 

officers seized dozens of valuable 

items the couple is suspected 

of having kept illegally 

after he left office. 

Netanyahu waved briefly 

before he and his wife entered 

the Fraud Squad headquarters 

in the Tel Aviv suburb of Bat 

Yam. 

Netanyahu’s lawyer, David 

Shimron, said his client had 

done nothing wrong and 

accused police of conducting a 

politically tainted investigation. 

Shimron said the items 

were in storage until they could 

be sorted. 

Mrs. Netanyahu supervised 

the packing when the couple 

prepared to leave the official 

residence after her husband’s 

election defeat in May, according 

to Israel army radio. The 

report said personal items and 

gifts the Netanyahus had 

received while in office were 

packed at the same time. 

Defectors marry 

in S. Korean 

intelligence 

facility 

ANSUNG, South Korea 

(AP) — The wedding guests 

were intelligence officials and 

the ushers were riot police. 

But the two North Korean 

defectors took it in stride 

Thursday, bowing deeply to 

each other in the Korean way 

of saying ‘‘I do.’’ 

Within high walls lined 

with barbed wire, the bride and 

groom tied the knot at a government 

center where North 

Koreans who have abandoned 

their homes learn how to adapt 

to life in the South. 

‘‘I feel like I’m dreaming,’’ 

said bride Kim Young Hee, 28, 

who wore a traditional rainbow-colored 

gown. 

Kim worked as a cart driver 

at a coal mine in the communist 

North before bidding 

farewell to her two sisters and 

fleeing her homeland, eventually 

arriving in the South in 

March. 

The teary-eyed groom, Cho 

Sung Moon, wore a blue gown 

with a golden belt and a black 

hat. ‘‘I think my parents would

reports, confirmed he knew Henderson but said 

he also did not know his nationality. He said he 

had no business relationship with the officer. 

Smaili denied that the properties were being 

sold below market value. 

‘‘Every transaction is done properly to show 

they were not selling under coercion,’’ he said. 

On Wednesday, NATO officials spoke of the 

newest form of anti-Serb intimidation — bogus 

lists of Serb war crimes suspects, some signed by 

banned Kosovo Liberation Army or local, selfdeclared 

Albanian police units. It wasn’t clear if 

the signatures were real. 

‘‘Our concern is that you could have people 

killed by the fact that someone hates someone 

else and puts their name on a list,’’ said a NATO 

spokesman, Maj. Roland Lavoie. 

Such posters are bound to strengthen Serb 

determination to defend themselves, adding to 

already high ethnic tensions in the province and 

blocking international attempts to establish cooperation 

between the two hostile groups. 

Militia starts more incursions in East Timor 

DILI, East Timor (AP) — A day after 

Indonesia agreed to accept independence for East 

Timor, peacekeepers today reported a surge of 

cross-border incursions from Indonesia-controlled 

West Timor by anti-independence militiamen. 

‘‘In the past 24 hours, there have been a number 

of sightings of militia groups coming across 

the border,’’ Col. Mark Kelly, spokesman for the 

16-nation peacekeeping force, told reporters in 

Dili, East Timor’s capital. 

But Kelly said it was too early to say whether 

this was part of some concerted new campaign by 

the paramilitary forces in response to 

Wednesday’s vote by the Indonesian assembly, 

in which the Jakarta government effectively relin- 

Around

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) 

— Popular opposition leader 

Megawati Sukarnoputri was 

elected Indonesia’s vice president 

today, one day after she lost the 

first free and contested presidential 

vote in the country’s history. 

The victory appeared likely to 

end a rash of violent, anti-govern- 

quished its claim to East Timor. 

Some had feared the vote would trigger a 

fresh rampage by the militias, which went on a 

spree of burning, looting and intimidation last 

month after a referendum in which East Timorese 

overwhelmingly opted for independence. 

About one-third of the territory’s 850,000 

people fled or were driven from their homes amid 

the violence. More than 250,000 ended up in 

neighboring West Timor, and militiamen have 

been harassing those who began returning on foot 

across the border two days ago. 

Kelly said the peacekeepers had stepped up 

round-the-clock land and air patrols along the 

frontier to counter the latest militia push and to 

protect the refugees.

Sick Cuban 

boy seeks 

U.S. visa 

for treatment 

HAVANA (AP) — The 

mother of a gravely ill Cuban 

boy is hoping an American 

group’s efforts will persuade 

Cuba to grant her son a visa so 

he can get emergency medical 

treatment in the United States. 

The 7-year-old boy, Raudel 

Alfonso Garcia, suffers from 

portal hypertension, a potentially 

fatal disease that produces 

high pressure in blood 

flowing from several organs to 

the liver. Cuban doctors don’t 

have the facilities to treat him. 

Ned Walsh, a retired 

Baptist chaplain at North 

Carolina State University, is 

lobbying the Cuban and 

American governments to clear 

the way for the emergency trip. 

Walsh learned about 

Raudel during an August visit 

to Cuba and enlisted other 

members of a Baptist congregation 

to help convince Cuba 

to let the boy go to North 

Carolina for surgery. 

Megawati elected VP of Indonesia 

ment protests that broke out after 

Megawati lost the presidentia 

ballot Wednesday. 

‘‘I thank God for this, and I 

will do my best for the republic 

of Indonesia,’’ Megawati said, as 

a crowd of legislators burst into 

cheers and sang the nationa 

anthem.

Season 

for 

hunting 

Mule deer, elk hunters 

meet with success as 

seasons open 

By Patrick J. Murphy 

Sports Editor 

Hunting seasons in the Sheridan area went off to a 

good start with the opening of a majority of mule deer and 

elk hunting areas opening Oct. 15. 

Area Wyoming Game and Fish personnel had check 

stations for hunters near Kaycee, Buffalo and Dayton. 

“For the number of animals, it looks like in Dayton 

probably there were 180 big game animals (checked), 

Black Hills deer, 

turkey hunters 

should note regs 

before heading out 

SUNDANCE — Black Hills deer hunters are alerted to regulation 

changes for 1999 in hunt areas 1-6. 

For the Nov. 1-20 season, deer hunters are restricted to antlered 

deer on public land and any deer only on private land. In previous 

years, hunters were allowed to harvest any deer on public lands other 

than national forest land. 

“In previous years, the public land other than national forest land 

was sustaining a substantial amount of harvest of does and fawns,” 

said Sundance game warden Chris Teter. “With the depressed deer 

population in the Black Hills, this was not helping our goal of building 

the herd.” 

The public land receiving heavy doe/fawn harvest in 1998 included 

Bureau of Land Management land north of Devils Tower, 

Thunder Basin National Grassland near Upton, state land near 

Beulah and the Sand Creek Wildlife Area. 

Teter added that this season is a bit more conservative in response 

to low deer numbers. “The 1999 season will protect more does and 

fawns while giving landowners latitude to control damage situations 

if they choose,” he said. 

Hunters are also reminded that the closing day for deer season in 

hunt areas 1-6 and turkey hunt area 1 is Nov. 20. 

The G&F urges all hunters to read the 1999 hunting regulations 

before heading to the field this fall. 

“Many people from across Wyoming travel to the Black Hills to 

hunt deer and turkeys in November,” Teter said. “Those planning on 

hunting the Black Hills in November this year should be aware the 

seasons close before Thanksgiving again this year.” 

Turkey populations in the Black Hills have recovered following 

three years of good reproduction. 

The G&F opened the turkey season this fall in hunt area 1 on Oct. 

15 and it will close on Nov. 20 to coincide with deer season closing. 

Hunters are also reminded that antelope season will also close 

Nov. 20 in hunt areas 1-5. 

The Sheridan Press, Thursday, October 21, 1999 

mostly deer and some elk,” said Lynn Jahnke, regional wildlife management 

coordinator with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department based in Sheridan. 

Near 400 animals were checked through the Buffalo station, and in Kaycee 

just under 250. 

Check stations were run at Kaycee for the first three days of the season, 

Sunday and Monday at the Buffalo check station and Friday afternoon and 

Saturday through Monday near Dayton. 

“Down in the south end, Kaycee area hunters are doing really well on 

deer,” Jahnke said. “Some elk are coming off there, if they are able to get on 

places where there are elk.” 

Those who hunted in areas on the west side of the Big Horns near Ten 

Sleep are “doing well on elk and deer,” Jahnke said. “On the east side near 

Buffalo, some hunters were doing fairly well on elk. We did see some very 

nice, mature bulls coming through the Buffalo check station.” 

Based on the number of of animals checked near Dayton, G&F personnel 

estimate the elk season is off to a slow start, as well as deer hunting in the Big 

Horns. 

“We did see come elk, but not a lot,” Jahnke said. “The deer harvest is 

somewhat slow on the mountain. Once we get snowstorms up on the mountain, 

we have less harvest of deer.” 

As for hearing complaints from hunters, Jahnke said, “Hunters seemed to 

be fairly pleased with the season.” 

Hunters who get out year in and year out said they “are seeing a comeback 

of many of the game populations,” Jahnke noted. “Overall, the condition of 

the animals was pretty good, with good amounts of fat and the animals seem 

to be in good shape.” 

Few citations were handed out at the check stations. 

“We had very few violations, so compliance was really good. We are glad 

to see that,” Jahnke said. 

G&F personnel had volunteer help at the check stations. Among those volunteers 

were Sheridan College students who participated as part of school 

classes. 

“The added help was a real benefit for getting folks checked through the 

stations quickly,” Jahnke said. 

The weather, i.e. snow or rain, has not been a major factor yet in hunting. 

“The weather hasn’t been too bad,” Jahnke said. “The first day (Oct. 15) 

was a pretty good day and there was a little bit of snow that evening, which in 

some cases helped hunters the second day. Now, it is turning out to be good 

again. Hunters are able to get around pretty well.”

Unusual house guest for Green River couple 

GREEN RIVER — Green River residents Richard and Bobbie Eaton 

had an unusual house guest Sept. 16. 

Wyoming Game and Fish Department wildlife investigator Scott 

Browning received a call that the Eatons had a deer in their house. 

Realizing he might need some help capturing the deer, Browning enlisted 

the help of Wildlife Supervisor Steve DeCecco and Wildlife 

Coordinator Bill Rudd. 

The Eatons had been expecting a furniture delivery so they left their 

front door open. Unbeknownst to them a fawn deer was hit by a vehicle in 

front of their house on East Teton Blvd. After getting hit, the fawn ran 

straight through the Eaton’s front door and down the stairs. 

Bobbie Eaton said that she had been standing by the stairway and felt 

something hit her leg and then saw something at the bottom of the stairs. “I 

initially thought that it was a dog and then quickly realized it was a deer,” 

she said. Her husband went down the stairs after the fawn and it ran into a 

basement room. 

“Now the story really gets strange,” according to Browning. 

The Eatons have a floor-to-ceiling wallpaper scene of a deciduous forest 

in fall foliage. A small group of deer is pictured standing underneath the 

trees. When the G&F guys arrived, the fawn was at the back of the room 

standing next to the deer on the wallpaper. 

“I guess it felt at home,” said Browning. “Even though the deer were 

made of paper, it all looked quite serene and peaceful.” 

The G&F crew gently grabbed the fawn, took it out of the house and 

released it nearby. 

The fawn did not appear to have been injured from either being hit by 

the vehicle or the trip down the stairs. The fawn was last seen heading at a 

fast trot toward where the mother had last been seen. 

UW student helps tribe track mountain lions 

IGNACIO, Colo. (AP) — Mountain lions may be one of the most feared and 

elusive predators of Southwest Colorado, but a crew of scientists on the 

Southern Ute Indian Reservation has been persistently searching for the wildcats 

since January. 

The tribe is studying the dynamics of the mountain lion population on the 

reservation to develop a management plan that will determine if the population 

can sustain a hunting season, and if so, what the harvest limit should be and 

when the season should take place, according to Joe Koloski, a graduate student 

from the University of Wyoming, who is heading the study. 

The reservation was opened to mountain lion hunting in 1992, but was 

closed following the 1997 winter season, Koloski said. Non-tribal members 

killed 18 mountain lions on the reservation during the 1992 and 1993 hunting 

seasons. After 1993, only tribal members were allowed to hunt the cats, he said. 

Tribal members were killing an average of two lions per year, according to 

Terry Stroh, the head of the tribe’s Division of Wildlife Resource Management. 

Koloski said the level of harvest caused some concern within the wildlife 

department, because it wasn’t known if such hunting was sustainable. 

‘‘They didn’t really know what they were doing to the population,’’ he said. 

The tribe then initiated the study to determine the population density of lions 

on the reservation, which covers 681,306 square acres. 

Stroh said he does not know how much the study is costing. 

Other goals of the study are to determine the mountain lions’ pattern of 

reproduction and the survival rates of adult mountain lions, Koloski said. 

To track a mountain lion, the crew first drives slowly through the reservation’s 

back roads, looking for tracks. Then, they use specially trained hound 

dogs to pick up the lion’s scent and chase it down. 

Koloski said it is much easier to track animals when there is snow on the 

ground, because the tracks are more visible and the snow holds a scent better. 

Once the dogs catch a lion’s scent, it normally doesn’t take them long to chase 

the lion up a tree, Koloski said. 

The crew then shoots the lion with an immobilizing dart and ties the dogs 

back to allow the lion an escape route. Lions that have been shot normally don’t 

feel comfortable in the tree anymore, Koloski said, so they take advantage of 

their escape route and leave. 

Within about 10 minutes of being shot by the dart, however, the lion’s muscles 

relax beyond use and an anesthetic makes them go unconscious, Koloski 

said. 

After the lion passes out, the crew has about two hours to go about their 

work. While the lion is unconscious, they harness it with a radio collar, tag its 

ear, tattoo its inner lip with an identification number, estimate its age and record 

general observations on its health and reproductive status, Koloski said. 

Once an animal is collared, the crew can locate its position on weekly flights 

over the reservation and bordering areas. Each collar has a different radio signal 

distinguishing it from the other collared cats. 

Since January, the mountain lion crew, made up of Koloski, the tribe’s 

wildlife biologist Sam Diswood, two full-time wildlife technicians and bison 

manager Chris Olguin, has tagged eight mountain lions. 

Of the tagged lions, there are three adult females, one adult male, three subadult 

females and one sub-adult male. Lions under 4 years old are characterized 

as sub-adults, Koloski said. 

Three of the adult female cats have had kittens, although the crew has only 

been able to locate and view two of the litters. The crew does not tag the kittens. 

‘‘Our goal is put out around 20 collars,’’ Koloski said. ‘‘We’ll continue with 

our capture effort throughout the winter and hopefully get that done.’’
