Special
Session
• Commission
meets Tuesday
By Michael Pearlman
outdoors@thesheridanpress.com
The Board of County
Commissioners has called a special
session for 9 a.m. Tuesday to consider
several agenda items tabled at this
week’s commission meeting.
Commissioners will consider
affirming approval of easements in
conjunction with the sale of the old
Story fire hall property on state
Highway 335. Three adjacent
landowners are being granted access
rights to their land through the creation
of the county-owned easements,
according to County Administrator
Renee Obermueller.
The commission will also consider
awarding bids to JWS Energy of
Gillette for realignment work on
Soldier Creek and Keystone roads and
improvements to Beaver Creek Road.
The commission tabled both items at
Tuesday’s board meeting after County
Engineer Ken Muller requested additional
time to review the contractor’s
qualifications.
Commissioners will also consider
an agreement with a property owner to
relocate fencing and a ditch to
improve maintenance of Brinton
Road. Finally, commissioners will
consider awarding a bid for concrete
trough work at the Road and Bridge
shop.
The meeting will take place in the
Commissioners Boardroom on the
second floor of the County
Courthouse.
Annual Eatons’ Ranch horse drive scheduled
to pass through Sheridan about 9 a.m. Sunday

Since about 1930, Eatons’ Ranch has driven its horses
from pasture at the Bar 11 Ranch, located between
Arvada and Gillette, through Sheridan to Eatons’ Ranch
west of Sheridan at Wolf.
According to Eatons’ Ranch General Manager Jeff
Way, the horses and the cowboys driving them travel
about 100 miles over three days.
Preparations for the trip began last week, as ranch
employees began gathering horses in the 5,000-acre pasture
at Bar 11, where they winter.
“Then they’ll start sorting off ones whose feet don’t
look great, or may have some other thing that would
make them too weak for the trip,” Way said.
He said those horses would then be hauled in trailers
to Eatons’ Ranch.
Day one of the drive began this morning with the
horses and riders leaving Bar 11 around 7 a.m. and traveling
to Leiter.
“Today will be the shortest and fastest day,” Way
said.
According to Way, tomorrow the horses will be
driven to Wyarno, another 40-42 miles.
“In Leiter they have cabins to stay in,” Way said of
the six to nine cowboys who help on the drive. “But
Saturday night they’ll pitch tent.”
Once the horses are near the Interstate 90 Visitors
Center, law enforcement is called and a police escort
leads the horses and cowboys down Fifth Street
through town.
The drive is expected to pass by the Sheridan Inn
about 9 a.m. Sunday.
“We try pretty hard to keep the horses off lawns,
but they inevitably scatter,” Way said.
He added that the ranch receives many calls about
the horse drive.
“We get calls from people trying to find out when
it is, so they can watch out for their lawns, but really
if the weather is good, we’ll probably see a big
turnout Sunday,” Way said. “It is fun to see people
gathered at the Sheridan Inn and then scattered along
Fifth Street.

EPA head tours
Wyo. gas field
PINEDALE (AP) — Environmental Protection Agency
Administrator Lisa Jackson says she is encouraged by efforts
to understand the unique air pollution issues in rural Wyoming.
Jackson on Thursday toured Jonah field, one of the most
productive natural gas fields in the nation.
The field in sparsely populated southwest Wyoming has
seen ozone levels on occasion that rival the large metropolitan
cities where it is commonly found in the summer.
“It’s hard to believe that this is a place that has had some
problems even in the winter and some visibility issues,”
Jackson said, standing among the tanks, pipes, trucks, drilling
rigs and other oil and gas equipment in the field nestled
between two mountain ranges in the distance. “But that’s the
thing about air pollution. It’s not always the same every day,
and it’s not always the stuff that you can see that you have to
address.”

“There are so few places that still
do horse or cattle drives that take
them through a town,” he added.
“We’ve been doing this over 60
years, and we certainly plan to keep
doing at least the spring trips.”
According to Way, there have
been no serious injuries or mishaps
during the drive over his 13 years
with the ranch.
“But you know there is always a
chance,” he said. “Some of the horses,
as gentle as they are, nobody has
ridden them since September.
Horses can stumble and fall, but fortunately
there have been no bad

while.”
Way recounted a mishap during
one fall trip in the late 1990s, in
which the horses got spooked as
they passed under Interstate 90 on
their way east to Bar 11.
“They turned onto the highway,
so we had a couple of riders going
down the median and trying to turn
them around,” he said. “There was
only one minor injury to a pony that
slid into a car.”

Ozone is an air pollutant that can cause respiratory
problems, especially for children, the elderly
and people with existing respiratory conditions.
The Wyoming ozone occurs in the winter and
didn’t become a problem until intense oil and gas
development hit the vast sagebrush area south of
Pinedale.
Oil and gas developers have taken a number of
measures to reduce emissions that help create the
air pollution.
For instance, EnCana, the biggest developer
of the Jonah field, has installed emission control
equipment and brought in drilling rigs that run on
• 2009 Huntington Area project — the contractor
has installed the water main and service lines on
Huntington Street from Thurmond to South Linden
Avenue and will continue west to Ash Avenue.
Huntington will be closed to through traffic from
Thurmond to Ash for the next few weeks. Meetings
are held every Monday at 3 p.m. at the contractor’s
staging area located at the intersection of Ash and
Meridian Street.
• Upper Kendrick Park/Trail End Pathway — the
contractor has finished concrete work for the project.
Asphalt paving of the pathway was complete May 20.
The contractor will be finishing the project within the
clean-burning natural gas to help control the pollution.
The state Department of Environmental
Quality is gathering extensive data on how and
when the ozone is forming in Wyoming.
Scientists believe the ozone in Wyoming is
caused by a combination of pollution emitted
from natural gas fields and certain meteorological
conditions that include calm weather, snow
cover, sunny skies and strong temperature inversions.
Jackson said all the work by the state, the
EPA and others on the ozone problem “gives me
hope that we’re getting information that we can
use not only in Wyoming but around the country.”

Nev. lawmakers debate renewable energy bills
CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) —
Nevada lawmakers, facing a June 1
adjournment, rushed Thursday to
complete work on “green energy”
legislation which has become one of
the major initiatives of the 2009 session.
The Assembly Commerce and
Labor Committee debated two bills
that were part of a comprehensive
energy package.
SB395, proposed by Gov. Jim
Gibbons, would encourage renewable
energy development, reduce
greenhouse gas emissions and
require state buildings to adopt energy
and water efficiency standards.
The changes proposed in the bill
would make it easier for renewable
energy companies to come to
Nevada by allowing more utility
companies to sidestep part of a
lengthy permitting process.
“It usually takes at least six
months to a year to go through the
process,” said Hatice Gecol, director
of the Nevada State Office of Energy.
“This will help streamline the permitting
process.”
The bill originally included
incentives for renewable energy producers
that would have abated property
taxes of those companies for 10
years. The abatements were dropped
from the measure. Another bill,
AB522 introduced by
Assemblywoman Marilyn
Kirkpatrick, D-North Las Vegas
includes less generous tax abatements.
In previous hearings, lawmakers
expressed concern that the abatements
proposed in SB395 would
give away too much revenue which
the state sorely needs.
“This is one of the four energy
bills we have been working on to
give Nevada a real renewable energy
package,” said Kirkpatrick. “Last
session we installed solar panels, and
we’ve been able to save 50 percent
on our energy bills in the
Legislature.”
SB395 also requires that at least
25 percent of electricity sold to consumers
by energy companies be
from renewable sources by 2025 and
requires car dealers to disclose the
amount of carbon dioxide starting
with 2012 models.
The committee also heard SB188
which would encourage development
of solar hot water heating systems
through a demonstration project.
Project participants could get rebates
or portfolio energy credits from the
state Public Utilities Commission.
“Clark County had an ozone alert
last summer,” said Sen. Mike
Schneider, D-Las Vegas. “These
emissions pose a threat to the young
and elderly in particular.”
The committee had planned to
hear SB358, sought by Senate
Majority Leader Steven Horsford, D-
North Las Vegas, which also seeks to
streamline the process and would
offer more generous tax abatements,
such as property tax breaks of up to
75 percent would extend for 20 years.
Jackson said she was also visiting the Wyoming
field to get a better understanding of the process of
forcing water mixed with other chemicals underground
to recover natural gas trapped in tight sands.
Some have complained that the so-called hydraulic
fracturing pollutes their water wells.
“We owe the people of Wyoming, and I have a
larger question for the people of the country to
make sure we’re looking at hydraulic fracturing to
make sure that we’re being as protective as we can
to future generations,” she said.
Besides touring the Jonah gas field, Jackson
toured a coal mine in northeast Wyoming and a
wind farm near Cheyenne. She was accompanied
by Gov. Dave Freudenthal, who invited her to see
Wyoming’s energy industry firsthand.

GMAC receives $7.5 billion in new Treasury aid
WASHINGTON (AP) — Auto lender GMAC
Financial Services will receive $7.5 billion in additional
government aid to keep loans flowing to would-be buyers
of GM and Chrysler vehicles and shore up its capital postion
— marking the second time the government has
stepped in to prop up the lender.
To help GMAC raise additional funds, the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corp. took the rare step Thursday of
allowing the junk-rated company to gain access to its debt
guarantee program. GMAC will be allowed to issue as
much as $7.4 billion in debt, guaranteed by the FDIC in
case the company defaults on payment.
In addition, the Federal Reserve waived rules to give
GMAC’s new bank, called Ally Bank, more leeway to
make loans to GM customers.
Analysts suggest that the new government support

will make GMAC a lending powerhouse that will give
GM and Chrysler a huge advantage over their competitors
— including U.S. rival Ford Motor Co., which hasn’t
taken any government aid. It would have the power to
offer better loan terms to buyers of GM and Chrysler cars
and trucks as a way of steering business to those automakers.
GMAC received $5 billion in December from the
Treasury Department’s $700 billion financial bailout program
in exchange for 5 million common shares and the
promise to extend financing to dealers of Chrysler LLC,
which is restructuring under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
After failing the government’s bank stress test, the
Treasury Department mandated earlier this month that
GMAC raise $11.5 billion in additional capital, including

$9.1 billion of new Tier 1 capital. But GMAC, which
reported a first-quarter loss of $675 million, has seen rising
defaults in its auto finance division. That, combined
with soured assets in its Residential Capital LLC mortgage
unit, made it difficult for the company to raise capital
from private investors.
So in addition to $4 billion in aid to support GMAC’s
new loans to Chrysler dealers and customers, the government
agreed to inject $3.5 billion to help the company
bolster its capital cushion.
“This new arrangement with GMAC will help provide
a reliable source of financing to both auto dealers and customers
seeking to buy cars,” Treasury Secretary Timothy
Geithner said Thursday.
GMAC is expected to detail its plans to raise the rest
of its capital needs by the government’s June 8 deadline.

Dear Patients,
GMAC Chief Executive Alvaro G. de Molina said
Thursday the Treasury’s latest action marked “another
major step in stabilizing and strengthening” the company.
The Treasury said it won’t immediately hold an equity
stake in the lender but will soon exercise its right, under
an earlier agreement, to swap an $884 million loan it
made to General Motors Corp. for an equity share in
GMAC. The Treasury said it expects to exercise that right
“in the very near future,” giving it a 35.4 percent stake in
the company.
The government also has instructed GMAC to assemble
a new, smaller board of directors, which the company
has been putting together. It eventually will include the
CEO, two trustees appointed by the Treasury Department
to represent the government’s interest, and three independent
directors to be elected by the rest of the board.
In Business
Sears shares soar
after first-quarter profit
CHICAGO (AP) — Shares of Sears Holdings Corp. are soaring, a day
after the retailer surprised investors by posting a first-quarter profit.
Sears shares are up $8.38, or 17 percent, to $58.57 in morning trading
Friday.
The parent of Sears and Kmart stores announced late Thursday that its
first-quarter profit was $26 million, or 21 cents per share. That was a marked
improvement from the year before, when the retailer led by financier
Edward Lampert lost $56 million, or 43 cents per share.
Excluding one-time items the company earned $47 million, or 38 cents
per share, for the three months that ended May 3. Analysts said that the
adjusted per share profit was less than 38 cents, but was still sharply better
than the forecast loss of 88 cents per share.
Severstal says no plans
to leave U.S. steel market
MOSCOW (AP) — Russia’s largest steelmaker Severstal said Friday it
had no immediate plans to sell any of its loss-making U.S. assets and would
seek to turn them into profitable ventures.
Severstal has been hit hard by weak world steel prices, falling output and
big exchange rate losses amid the industry’s global slump. First quarter
results last week revealed the company’s Russians operations were turning
some profit, while North American and Europe were dragging on the company’s
overall balance sheet.
That has intensified speculation that the company may decide to sell
some of its North American plants. Two of its five major plants in the United
States have been idled — in Ohio and in Pennsylvania — a process that
takes several months.

Opinion THE
Press SHERIDAN Friday,
All the noise,
spin around
Pelosi is torture
If you have read or listened to the partisan spin
coming out of Washington, D.C., lately, it's all about
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and what she knew about
the "enhanced interrogation techniques." When she
knew it and what she did about it. Or did not.
Pelosi, the first woman to hold a major leadership
position on Capitol Hill, has been under fire from just
about everyone with a megaphone or a blog. This highly
opinionated group includes disgraced former House
Speaker Newt Gingrich, likely soon-to-be disgraced (if
he isn't already) former Vice President Dick Cheney,
and a host of other self-appointed pundits who tried to
use Pelosi's recent press conference
to disgrace her, up to
and including commenting on
her appearance. It's disgusting!
The Republicans have
pushed this as hard and as far
as it will go. Now, it's up to the
media to either dig out the truth
and report the full story or to
push for a commission that can
Donna
Brazile
Columnist
get to the bottom of it.
And it's time for each of us
to decide to either move forward
or to join the small but
vocal chorus of Americans calling for the creation of an
independent commission to "look back" before we turn
the page and move forward.
The House Democratic Caucus, which voted overwhelmingly
to elect Pelosi speaker of the House, has
come to her defense. The caucus regards the entire matter
as a nuisance but not a problem for the majority. Of
course, there are some who believe Pelosi could have
handled it better, but she has lost no ground with the
caucus members.
It's curious to witness everyone's selective memory.
The Bush-led CIA is totally clean all of a sudden? Does
no one remember the CIA's failed intelligence in the
lead-up to the Iraq war? Has everyone forgotten that
the CIA was already using waterboarding before it
claimed to have briefed the so-called gang of four —
Pelosi, then the top Democrat on the House
Intelligence Committee; Rep. Porter J. Goss, then the
committee's Republican chairman; and Sens. Bob
Graham and Richard Shelby — on enhanced torture
techniques?
The CIA isn't denying it misled the four congressional
leaders on that important fact. And Goss, who
attended that meeting in 2002 and later served as CIA
director under President George W. Bush, refuses to
support the CIA's claim that it had briefed Pelosi on the
use of torture.
To those who believe Pelosi's comments are an
attack on the CIA and its employees, let me say this:
No one is questioning the commitment, integrity and
sacrifice of CIA employees. But there is an endless list
of errors in the way CIA officials have depicted those
briefings.
Graham, who is no longer in the Senate, underscored
that point on National Public Radio on May 15:
"I'm not impressed with the credibility of the CIA as it
was being led in 2002. I think it had become an agency
that instead of following the admonition to speak truth
to power, it was trying to speak what it thought power
wanted to hear."
One Democratic lawmaker e-mailed me the following
response when I asked whether the focus on Pelosi
was becoming a distraction. "Help me understand the
GOP logic: We don't torture, but when we did, it
worked. We don't torture, and we have legal memos to
prove that what we did was legal and, therefore, did not
constitute torture. And when we described it to Nancy
Pelosi, she should have stopped the illegal torture."
Such "logic" defies logic. But that's today's GOP for
you.
There is evidence that the CIA's own account of its
congressional briefings might contain errors about who
actually attended them. House Appropriation Chairman
David Obey recently wrote the CIA to inform the
agency that no one on his staff was in attendance at one
such meeting in 2002, contrary to the CIA's record of
that briefing.
This entire issue has been politicized to the nines.
And the partisan attacks and cover-your-butt posturing
that foul the air and make it impossible for citizens to
make informed judgments are perfect examples of why
the American people are disgusted with Washington.
Congress needs to return from its Memorial Day
recess to work on a clean-energy jobs bill, begin to put
together an Access to Affordable Healthcare bill and
dig deeper to find more savings in the upcoming appropriations
bills.
It goes back to something I have been discussing
every chance I get and everywhere I go. To wit, it's time
for an independent commission to review all these conflicting
stories and find the truth. We need an independent
commission to enable the American people to make
informed decisions and to allow Congress to concentrate
on doing its job. Otherwise, it will be a long and
humid summer filled with hot air and heated rhetoric in
the nation's capital.

Letters
Press editorial on District 2
reminds of nightmare at SC
Editor:
As I read the editorial on May 16 regarding “personnel
and communication breakdowns with the
administration of Sheridan County School District 2,"
I thought perhaps I was reliving the nightmare I
encountered with Sheridan College three years ago.
The similarities were just too close to ignore.
Employed over 19 years at Sheridan College and
receiving very good evaluations, I was quite surprised
with a notice to remove my personal belongings and
turn in my keys on March 23, 2006, which also stated
my contract would not be renewed. I was told that in
an “at-will state” no reasons had to be given for termination.
How can an "at-will" status be justified in a state
named the “Equality State”?
Policies were not followed as stated, for example: a
hearing before the board of trustees. The Sheridan
President Barack Obama plans to tackle, one by
one, the biggest problems threatening America's
future prosperity, but he needs to fashion nothing less
than "a new social contract between the generations."
That means, said Brookings Institution scholar
Isabel Sawhill, gradually shifting the balance of federal
spending from seniors to children to enable them
to support both themselves and their elders in the
future.
Investments in young people are necessary, she
said, because, as a U.N. study found in 2007,
American children rank 17th out of 21 major countries
in material well-being, 21st in health, 12th in
education and 18th in overall well-being.
The percentage of children who are overweight
has risen from 6 percent to 18 percent in the past 30
years; reading levels of 17-year-olds are stagnant; a
third of all kids fail to graduate from high school; and
the proportion of children born outside marriage has
tripled since 1970.
Sawhill is one of my favorite moderate-to-liberal
budget experts and also co-director of Brookings'
Center on Children and Families.
Besides social deficits, she said, youngsters face
an enormous burden of paying the retirement costs of
their elders.
If changes aren't made in current budget allocations,
within 30 years, just three entitlement programs
primarily serving seniors — Medicare, Medicaid and
Social Security — will rise from 8 percent of gross
domestic product to 20 percent, eating up the entire
federal budget.
To pay the cost, Sawhill said at a Brookings gathering
last week, people in the lowest current tax
bracket, who now pay 10 percent of their income,
would have to pay 26 percent.
Those in the current 25 percent bracket would
have to pay 66 percent, and those in the top bracket,
currently paying 35 percent, would go to 92 percent.
It's a burden that is, as the saying goes, "unsustainable,"
but the longer an adjustment gets put off, the
more difficult it will be to accomplish.
"The politics of this are terrible," she said, with
AARP likely to oppose any shift in priorities, even
though current retirees wouldn't be affected. Baby
College Policy Manual, dated July 1, 1985, Series
4000 L, states:
“At any such hearing conducted by the Board, the
employee shall have the right to appear in person with
or without counsel; shall have the right to be heard and
to present testimony or witnesses and other evidence
bearing upon the reasons for the proposed dismissal.”
I received a letter from the board chair stating that I
was not allowed counsel at the hearing. There was a
closed executive session that I was not allowed to
attend.
I was never given a reason for dismissal, nor was it
ever discussed with me that changes needed to be
made. I was given a chance to defend myself; however,
I had no idea what I was to defend, so I defended
nothing.
“I am ... concerned specifically with communication
with the central administration,” Tyson Emborg, a
high school government teacher, is quoted in the editorial.
The editor goes on to add, “The board's tendency
to allow Mr. Dougherty to run the district as if it is his
own is troubling.”
Morton
Kondracke
Columnist
boomers would have to forgo
some of the benefits promised
them.
Last year, the Urban
Institute and the New America
Foundation estimated that the
federal government spent 2.6
percent of gross national product
on programs benefiting
young people and 7.9 percent
on the three big entitlement programs.
Sawhill used graphs in her
presentation suggesting that, by
2042, the spending ratio for seniors over children will
rise from 3-to-1 to 5-to-1.
Investing in children now — through health programs
and early-childhood and other education programs
— will make future adults more productive and
enable the country to pay for retirement programs and
the rest of its government services, she said.
And the burden needs to be lightened, she said,
through reforms of Social Security, health care and the
tax system.
The Obama administration plans to address all those
issues one by one, yielding to congressional leaders in
rejecting the notion of a bipartisan commission to tackle
all of them.
Sawhill recommended, for Social Security, a combination
of raising the retirement age, encouraging people
to work longer, means-testing benefits, mandating additional
savings for retirement and raising the cap on payroll
taxes.
She praised House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-
Md., for "courageously" proposing an early attack on
entitlement reform, but noted that Speaker Nancy Pelosi,
D-Calif., and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-
Nev., oppose it.
She generally supported the outlines of Obama
health care reforms, including universal coverage, guaranteed
access to insurance, subsidies to pay premiums
based on income, efficiency and quality improvements,
and a revision of the provider payment system based on
keeping people healthy rather than simply performing
procedures.

May 22, 2009
This statement could very well parallel the situation
at the college.
Employers can create huge disruptions in the lives
of employees by: depleting self-confidence, communicating
a demeaning attitude, creating a loss of
income and retirement, assisting in the creation of
health problems for employees due to tremendous
stress, etc.
Employees have no way to protect themselves from
becoming victims of this vicious predator who lacks a
conscience, lacks integrity, lacks respect, enjoys
power, and is self-seeking.
I encourage the Sheridan College board of trustees
and administration to follow the recommendations of
the editorial: “to do a better job when considering the
rights and opinions of the individuals they employ”
and “more importantly the right to know of ... residents
whose tax dollars provide the foundation for it
all.”
Joan Tellez
Sheridan
Invest in kids now for healthy payoff later
Still, she said, to the extent that these measures can't
pay for all the health care Americans want, the administration
should consider a revenue source such as a valueadded
tax to make up the shortfall.
The administration is heavily relying on cost-cutting
promises made by various elements of the health industry
— insurance companies, doctors, pharmaceutical
companies and hospitals — to save up to $2 trillion over
the next decade.
But Sawhill said she thought the stakeholder's offer
was merely "nice ... just a pledge," and said she was
"skeptical that it was anything beyond politics."
"The likely scenario," she said, "is that we'll expand
coverage but we won't contain costs." Her doubts are
shared by Senate Budget Chairman Kent Conrad, D-
N.D., who says he fears "we'll just cover more people
and it will cost more. I pray I'm wrong."
The administration is not even considering some
ideas proposed by Republicans to save money, such as
giving health consumers an incentive to be cost-conscious,
limiting awards in medical malpractice cases and
means-testing Medicare.
Besides government policy, Sawhill said, there's a
need for more responsible parenting in America to
restore the "success sequence" whereby young people
"graduate, work, marry and then have children."
"Right now," she said, "the sequence is all scrambled,"
and failure to adhere to it is "the new defining
variable in American life."
Among persons who complete high school, work
full-time, wait until age 21 and marry before having
children, only 2 percent are poor. Among those who fail
to adhere to any of the norms, 76 percent are poor.
As she noted, all recent presidents have tried to promote
family responsibility by using their "bully pulpit"
and said Obama has been doing so, as well.
But the major item for government, she said, is to
"gradually shift resources from older Americans to
younger ones. It's not generational warfare. You're
changing when in life you get the biggest benefits." It's
a debate-reframing idea.

People THE
Press SHERIDAN Friday,
The Sheridan MiniBus is wonderful! Even
before I had to stop driving because of poor
eyesight, I decided I’d use the MiniBus.
Once when a friend took me home from an
appointment, the dispatcher called to see if I
was home. I would be a real “shut in” without
this marvelous service.

Pelosi: Nothing more to say on her CIA allegation
WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi said Friday she won’t talk any more about her
charge that the CIA lied in 2002 about using waterboarding
on terrorism suspects.
“I have made the statement that I’m going to make on
this,” she told reporters at a Capitol Hill news conference.
“I don’t have anything more to say about it. I stand
by my comment.”
But Republicans aren’t letting this one slide.
Ken Spain, spokesman for the National Republican
Congressional Committee, issued a statement after the
news conference calling Pelosi a political liability to the
Democratic party.
“Her obsession with the previous administration and
her disdain for America’s intelligence officials has

lose appeal
in landmark case
WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal appeals court on Friday largely
agreed with a landmark ruling that found cigarette makers deceived the public
for decades about the heath hazards of smoking.
The U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington upheld the major elements of
a 2006 ruling that found the nation’s top tobacco companies guilty of fraud
and violating racketeering laws.
The ruling said manufacturers must change the way they market cigarettes.
It bans labels such as “low tar,” “light,” “ultra light” or “mild,” since
such cigarettes have been found to be no safer than others because of how
people smoke them.
It also says the companies must publish “corrective statements” on the
adverse health effects and addictiveness of smoking and nicotine.
The changes have not taken affect while the case has been under appeal.
Throughout the 10 years the case has been litigated, tobacco companies
have denied committing fraud in the past and said changes in how cigarettes
are sold now make it impossible for them to act fraudulently in the future.
The government filed the civil case under a 1970 racketeering law commonly
as RICO used primarily to prosecute mobsters in cases in which
there has been a group effort to commit fraud.
The suit was first filed in 1999 during the Clinton administration. The
Bush administration pursued it after receiving early criticism for openly discussing
the case’s perceived weaknesses and attempting unsuccessfully to
settle it.
During the nine-month bench trial, U.S. District Judge Gladys Kessler
heard accusations that the companies established a “gentleman’s agreement”
in which they agreed not to compete over whose products were the
least hazardous to smokers. That was to ensure they didn’t have to publicly
address the harm caused by smoking, government lawyers said. Tobacco
lawyers denied the contention.
The defendants in the lawsuit were: Philip Morris USA Inc. and its parent,
Altria Group Inc.; R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co.; Brown & Williamson
Tobacco Corp.; British American Tobacco Ltd.; Lorillard Tobacco Co.;
Liggett Group Inc.; Counsel for Tobacco Research-U.S.A.; and the nowdefunct
Tobacco Institute.

reduced her to cheerleader status within the
far left wing of her party and a distraction to
the substantive debate over how to best move
our economy forward,” said Spain.
Earlier this month, Pelosi told reporters
that she had not been told that waterboarding
had been used against terrorism suspects,
even though it had been. When asked
whether she was accusing the CIA of lying
to her, she said “yes.”
Pelosi has asked the CIA to declassify
information supporting her claims. The CIA
sent lawmakers its notes and memos on 40
congressional briefings on the interrogation
techniques. But that document has been

found to include several errors, leaving in
question exactly what Pelosi was told.
The GOP has seized on her accusation
that the CIA misled Congress, contending
that the California Democrat’s remarks have
demoralized the intelligence community.
House Republicans on Thursday demanded
that a bipartisan panel investigate her allegations.
“To have this charge out there and not
have it resolved I think is damaging to our
intelligence efforts, and certainly will have a
chilling effect on our intelligence professionals
around the world,” said House
Republican leader John Boehner, R-Ohio.

Democrats beat back the proposal, calling it a political
ploy. Republicans Ron Paul of Texas and Walter
Jones of North Carolina joined Democrats in a 252-172
vote to block the resolution.
Upon leaving the news conference on Friday, Pelosi
declined to answer a question about whether she had
called CIA Director Leon Panetta to discuss the matter
further.
Instead, Pelosi had stuck faithfully to her script, saying
Democrats were making progress on other issues.
“We’re going forward in a bipartisan way for jobs,
health care, energy for our country,” she said. Regarding
the CIA’s briefing of Congress on waterboarding, “I
won’t have anything more to say about it.”
To cover Iraq-Afghan wars,
Senate passes $91.3B bill
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Senate is backing President Barack
Obama’s efforts to ramp up the war in
Afghanistan, granting his request for
$91.3 billion for military and diplomatic
operations there and in Iraq.
The spending bill, approved on an
86-3 vote Thursday night, goes to congressional
negotiators to work out a
compromise with a similar measure the
House passed. Lawmakers expected to
present a bill for Obama’s signature
next month.
Voting against the measure were
Sens. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., Russ
Feingold, D-Wis., and Bernie Sanders,
I-Vt.
The major difference in what
Obama sought and what the Senate
granted was the $80 million the president
wanted for closing the U.S. deten-
tion facility at the naval base at
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The Senate
joined the House in blocking the president’s
plan for closing the prison until
he submits a detailed plan for the disposition
of the terror suspects held there.
Obama is sending more than
20,000 additional troops to
Afghanistan. For the first time, the
annual cost of the war in Afghanistan is
projected to exceed the cost of fighting
in Iraq.
With support forces, the number of
U.S. troops in Afghanistan is expected
to be about 68,000 by the end of the
year — more than double the size of
the U.S. force at the end of 2008.
Among the few cautionary voices
during debate over the spending measure
came from Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-
Calif.
“I want to give this administration
... the resources it needs to successfully
end these wars,” Boxer said. “I don’t
support an open-ended commitment of
American troops to Afghanistan. And if
we do not see measurable progress, we
must reconsider our engagement and
strategy there.”
Debate pretty much fizzled after
Democrats retreated and moved to
delete from the bill money to close
Guantanamo, where about 240 terrorism
suspects still are held.
The underlying war-funding measure
has gotten relatively little attention,
even though it would boost total
approved spending for the Iraq and
Afghanistan wars above $900 billion.
The Pentagon would receive $73
billion under the legislation, including
$4.6 billion to train and equip Afghan
and Iraqi security forces; $400 million
to train and equip Pakistan’s security
forces; and $21.9 billion to procure
new mine-resistant vehicles, aircraft,
weapons and ammunition, among
other items.
The House version adds $11.8 billion
to Obama’s request, including
almost $4 billion for new weapons and
military equipment such as eight C-17
cargo planes, mine-resistant vehicles,
Bradley Fighting Vehicles and Stryker
armored vehicles. The House measure
also adds $2.2 billion to Obama’s
request for foreign aid, much of which
appears to be designed to get around
spending limits for 2010.
The Senate measure contains less
for weapons procurement and foreign
aid, setting up potentially nettlesome
negotiations.
Defense chief praises soldier in pink boxers
WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense Secretary
Robert Gates says American soldiers have more
than their military might and training on their side
in the war in Afghanistan. Some have pink underwear.
Gates told an audience in New York about
Specialist Zachary Boyd, routed from sleep by
enemy fire on his post in eastern Afghanistan.
“He immediately grabbed his rifle and rushed
into a defensive position clad in his helmet, body
armor, and pink boxer shorts that said ‘I Love
New York,”’ Gates said Thursday night.
“Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on
your perspective, an AP photographer was there
for a candid shot,” Gates continued.
The photograph by David Guttenfelder ran on
the front page of the New York Times.
Gates said Boyd later told his parents he might
get fired. Gates assured his audience at the
Intrepid museum, and Boyd, that his job is safe.
“Any soldier who goes into battle against the
Taliban in pink boxers and flip-flops has a special
kind of courage,” Gates said, adding that Boyd
may have hit on a new kind of psychological warfare.
“I can only wonder about the impact on the
Taliban. Just imagine seeing that — a guy in pink
boxers and flip-flops has you in his crosshairs.”

44 states lost jobs in April, led by California
WASHINGTON (AP) — Forty-four states lost jobs in
April, led by California where employers slashed 63,700
positions, as the recession took a further toll on U.S. workers.
Trailing California in over-the-month job losses were:
Texas, which saw 39,500 jobs vanish; Michigan, which lost
38,400 jobs; and Ohio, where payrolls fell 25,200, according
to a U.S. Labor Department report issued Friday.
The few winners included Arkansas and Montana, followed
by Florida — a dose of good news for a state that’s
been battered by the housing collapse.
California’s unemployment rate dipped to 11 percent last
month, fifth-highest in the country. Michigan’s jobless rate
was the highest at 12.9 percent, followed by Oregon at 12
percent, South Carolina at 11.5 percent and Rhode Island at
11.1 percent.
As the recession eats into sales and profits, companies
have laid off workers and turned to other cost-cutting measures,
such as holding down hours and freezing or trimming
pay.
Since the recession began in December 2007, the U.S.
has lost a net total of 5.7 million jobs. The nationwide unemployment
rate now stands at 8.9 percent, a quarter-century
high.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and some
economists hope the pace of layoffs will moderate as the
recession eases its grip and likely ends later this year.
Dr. Jeffrey Luckett

But even if employers reduce firings, the nationwide
unemployment rate is expected to hit double digits by year’s
end. Employers won’t be in any mood to ramp up hiring
until they feel confident that any recovery has staying power,
economists say.
In Friday’s report, Arkansas and Montana tied for the
biggest over-the-month payroll gains at 1,500 a piece. They
were followed by Florida, which saw an increase of 1,300
jobs.
On the hiring front, North Dakota again registered the
nation’s lowest unemployment rate — 4 percent. It was followed
by Nebraska with a 4.4 percent jobless rate, Wyoming
at 4.5 percent and South Dakota with 4.8 percent.
In another bit of mildly encouraging news, the Labor
Department reported that mass layoffs — job cuts of 50 or
more by a single employer — dipped to 2,712 in April, from
a record-high of 2,933 in March. Still, more than 271,000
workers were fired in last month’s cuts, more than double
the total from April 2008.
Layoffs in manufacturing, construction and retail are
common threads running through the states with the highest
unemployment rates. Another thread: difficulties faced by
South Carolina, Michigan, Rhode Island and other states, to
lure new types of companies to help cushion the loss of manufacturing
jobs and retrain laid-off factory workers for other
kinds of employment.

Wyoming Indian tribe selling beef to Whole Foods
LAKEWOOD, Colo. (AP) —
The Northern Arapaho Tribe has
agreed to sell beef raised on its
595,000 certified organic acres in
Wyoming to Whole Foods Market
Inc., its first major retail customer.
Panorama Meats Inc. is partnering
with the tribe to offer Angus beef
from the tribe’s Arapaho Ranch on
the Wind River Reservation to
Whole Foods stores in Colorado,
New Mexico, Kansas and Utah.
The agreement offers the tribe
$1,400 per head for grass-fed cattle
that haven’t been in feedlots, or
roughly a 25 percent premium to
conventional beef, Panorama CEO
Mack Graves said Thursday.

Aurora family
blames death
on 911
address glitch
AURORA, Colo. (AP) — The
family of a Detroit woman who died
of congestive heart failure in her son’s
driveway in Aurora blames a 911 dispatcher’s
mistake that sent emergency
responders in the wrong direction.
KCNC-TV in Denver reports that
when 64-year-old Sandra Lowman
became short of breath April 3, her
family called 911 and gave their
address in Aurora.
The city says incorrect address
data in its dispatch system gave dispatchers
a choice of sending help to
Aurora or Arapahoe County. KCNC
reports that for reasons that are
unclear, the dispatcher sent responders
miles away to Arapahoe County,
not the Lowmans’ home 1.5 miles
away.
“It’s not acceptable. There’s no
excuse for this, none,” said Lowman’s
son, Robert Lowman. His mom was
visiting to celebrate her 65th birthday
with her son and grandchildren.
According to 911 tapes, Robert
Lowman at one point appears to
become frustrated as he talks to a dispatcher.
“My mother’s dying, goodbye,
goodbye,” he said, before hanging up.
The tapes also capture the confusion
of the emergency responders.
Spoonhunter said the tribe is looking
to supply around 2,500 head a year.
“It really means a lot, especially
in a time of economic downturn,”
Spoonhunter said. Thirty to 40 people
work on the ranch in summer,
and about 20 work there in the winter,
he said. Most are tribal members.
The tribe previously sold meat in
conventional markets at auction and
to smaller, local markets, but
Business Council members said
working with Panorama and Whole
Foods offers longer-term stability
and better prices.
The deal means Austin, Texasbased
Whole Foods gets cattle from
a ranch within a seven-hour drive,
which it considers to be local.

including bears and coyotes that
roam the same land as the cattle. “As
an Arapaho, those animals are here
before our cows were,” council
member Ron Oldman said. “Part of
our heritage is to be nurturers of the
land.”
Most work is done on horseback
rather than ATVs or other vehicles to
avoid stressing the cattle.
“Anything living we treat them
like a brother,” council member
Norman Willow said. “That will pass
on to the people who eat it.”
Oldman said the tribe has been
affected by the slumping economy
like anyone else but has been helped
by the ranch and casinos, two of
which have restaurants that serve
beef from Arapaho Ranch.

The Sheridan Press, Friday, May 22, 2009 7
unemployment insurance, the highest on records dating to
1967, the federal government reported Thursday. The crush
has exhausted unemployment funds in California, New York
and elsewhere, forcing them to tap the federal government
for money to keep paying benefits.
States are hurting as the recession cuts into revenues.
Saddled with a $21.3 billion budget deficit, California
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has said thousands of state
employees must be laid off and billions of dollars must be
slashed from the budget. His administration has started
sending layoff notices to 5,000 state employees with the
goal of cutting the general work force by 5 percent.
Since December, California has led the nation in monthly
job losses, according to the U.S. Labor Department.
Against that backdrop, Californians’ personal income
fell statewide for the first time since 1938, leading to a sharp
drop in tax revenue.
One in every 138 California households received a foreclosure
filing last month, according to RealtyTrac Inc. That
was the third-highest rate in the country behind Nevada’s
one in every 68 households, and Florida’s one in every 135
households.
If California tries to borrow more to help pay its bills, it
will be costly. The state has the worst credit rating in the
nation. The state treasurer’s office estimates that California
would pay an extra $500 million to $1 billion in lender fees
on a $15 billion short-term loan.

unemployment
holds at 4.5%
CHEYENNE (AP) — Wyoming’s
unemployment rate in April was 4.5
percent, the same rate as in March
but higher than earlier in the year.
Federal job figures out Friday
show Wyoming with the nation’s
third-lowest unemployment rate.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics says North Dakota had
the nation’s lowest unemployment
rate at 4 percent. Nebraska came in
second at 4.4 percent.
The nationwide unemployment
rate reached 8.9 percent in April,
highest in a quarter-century.
Although Wyoming’s unemployment
rate is relatively low,
unemployment in the state has risen
sharply since late last year.
Wyoming had the nation’s lowest
unemployment rate in December,
3.4 percent. In February, it was 3.7
percent.

DEAR DR. GOTT: Please forgive my handwritten
letter. There is no one in Arizona who can install a new
ribbon onto my manual typewriter.
I am a man, 88-1/2 years of age, who has been
plagued with poor balance for
five years. I was accustomed to
walking up to 10 miles a day,
working as a carpenter eight
hours and fitting in five hours of
dancing to the big bands, getting
home at 5 a.m.
One day, while watching a
health program on television, the
speaker said that diminished
testosterone levels could be fatal.
Now I’m concerned about my
testosterone levels and my poor
balance. What type of specialist
is required?
DEAR READER: Let’s take the problems as you
present them. Initially, I applaud your memory. There
aren’t too many young people who even know what a
manual typewriter is or what big-band music sounds
like.
I suggest you contact a local office-supply store
such as Staples or OfficeMax, which should be able to
locate an appropriate typewriter ribbon for you and may
even be able to help you install it.
The reasons for poor balance are numerous. Perhaps
you have a buildup of wax in one ear, an inner-ear
problem, a central-nervous-system disorder such as
Parkinson’s, peripheral nerve disease or something else.
You should either seek the services of a neurologist or
return to your primary-care physician for a referral. He
or she can order the appropriate testing and perhaps get
to the bottom of the issue.
DEAR ABBY: My mother is 66
and has had two major epileptic
seizures. The incidents occurred in
the middle of the night, and each
time she was unconscious for a long
time (45 minutes or more) and was
taken to the emergency room by
ambulance. She also has “minor”
seizures that last only 30 to 60 seconds.
I have seen them.
Her doctor has told her not to
drive and that it’s against the law in
our state for her to drive until she
has been seizure-free for six
months. The problem is, Mom and
her husband believe she can drive
safely. She even bought a new car
so she can get “better gas mileage.”
I have offered to take Mom to
doctors and other appointments, etc.
She allows me to, but still drives
herself to the grocery store and hair-
dresser and other places because
they are “close by.” (Not!)
Abby, I lost a brother in a car
accident. I don’t want to lose my
mother in
one, too. I’m
also afraid for
the safety of
pedestrians
and other
drivers in her
path. What
can I do or
say to get
Mom to follow
the doctor’s
orders?

DEAR WORRIED: Nothing.
Because your mother refuses to use
common sense or listen to reason,
accept that talking to her is like
A recent study suggests men with low testosterone
levels after the age of 40 have a higher risk of death
over a four-year period than those with normal levels.
The study also indicated it remains unclear whether the
two conditions — low testosterone and the higher risk
of death — are even related. Further studies and
research are necessary before we can confirm anything.
Testosterone levels vary considerably between people,
and levels decrease naturally as a man ages. I suggest,
once again, that you return to your doctor and
have him arrange to have blood drawn to determine
whether a problem exists. He or she is the one with a
complete medical history on you. This is very important,
since there is an extremely wide variation of the
normal range for men. What’s appropriate for one person
might be entirely inappropriate for another, based
on medical history. My local hospital uses a range of
anything between 90 and 890.
You might even enlist the services of an urologist,
who can provide appropriate answers for you. At 88-
1/2, you deserve all the quality time you can muster.
Get help, get those fingers nimble while typing, and
enjoy your life. I’ll bet you have some fascinating stories
to tell!

A person doesn’t have to have a
major seizure to cause an accident.
A blackout lasting a few seconds
can cause a driver to lose control of
a vehicle.
If your mother’s physician isn’t
aware that she hasn’t been complying
with his or her instructions, let
the doctor know. Write a letter
explaining that you have seen her
having minor seizures and that she’s
still driving. Urge him (or her) to
notify the Department of Motor
Vehicles, and you should do the
same. The more time that goes by
without this being dealt with, the
greater the chances your mother
could kill herself or kill or maim an
innocent person who happens to
cross her path at the wrong time.
DEAR ABBY: I am 14 years old
and aware of what is going on in the
world around me. My parents have
owned a successful company for
years, but with the economy in its
current state, our family is having a
tough time. We live a luxurious life
and I am very blessed, but we have
begun to give things up. I am fine
with that.
My parents have changed. If I
ask how things are, they get mad at
me. If I tell them I don’t need something,
such as a present for my
birthday, they ask me why and I tell
them, “I know we don’t have money
to spend right now.” Then they
say, “We have money, but it’s in the
bank and is only for emergencies
such as an illness.”
How can I convince my parents
that it is OK to tell me what is going
on, and that we should go through it
as a family? — TEEN IN CALI-
FORNIA
DEAR TEEN: It is the instinct
of every parent to protect his or her
child. That may be what your parents
are trying to do when you raise
the sensitive subjects of “how
things are” and birthday gifts. What
they may not realize is that you are
no longer a child, and the questions
and statements you are making are a
reflection of your anxiety.
As stressful as the current economic
environment may be, fear of
the unknown can be even worse. By
telling you they are not out of funds
but being careful about how they
will be spent, your parents have
already taken the first step in letting
you know what’s going on, but now
they need to fill in more of the
blanks. Please tell them that that’s
what I suggest.

Montana agency doubles estimate of prairie-dog acreage
HELENA, Mont. (AP) — Black-tailed
prairie dogs exist on more than double the
Montana acreage previously estimated, the
state wildlife department has told the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service as the federal
agency considers whether to propose protection
for the animal.
A group pressing for Endangered Species
Act protection doubts the report that Montana
has about 193,800 acres inhabited by prairie
dogs, up from an earlier estimate of 90,000
acres.
In a statement, the Montana Department
of Fish, Wildlife and Parks said it used “the
best science available” and produced “an
Reports
accurate estimate that shows Montana’s
black-tailed prairie dog populations are
secure.”
Prairie dogs are elusive and their population
strength is gauged by land area, not by a
head count, said Ryan Rauscher, the Montana
Fish, Wildlife and Parks wildlife biologist
who coordinated the survey.
The black-tailed prairie dog is eaten by
the endangered black-footed ferret and some
other species, and prairie dogs’ burrowing
supports denning and nesting by wildlife.
Some farmers and ranchers blame the prairie
dog for erosion and loss of livestock forage.
The Montana Department of Agriculture clas-
Juvenile Justice Board to meet
sifies the animal as a pest, but to Fish,
Wildlife and Parks it is a “species of concern.”
The new acreage figure reflects information
from aerial surveying, some of it followed by
investigation on the ground.
Flights covering 36,000 miles occurred last
summer and the data analysis was completed
this spring, soon after the 90,000-acre figure
was submitted to the Fish and Wildlife Service
as a reporting deadline approached, Rauscher
said. The larger number has since been sent to
the service, he added.
Aerial surveying is among reasons for the
big gap between the latest and the previous esti-
mates, Rauscher said Thursday. Earlier work
was largely on the ground, he said. Advantages
of working from the air include viewing that is
not possible on the ground when property owners
deny access to their land, Rauscher said.
In 2004, the Fish and Wildlife Service
removed the black-tailed prairie dog as a candidate
for listing under the Endangered
Species Act. Responding to a petition by
wildlife advocacy groups, the agency said in
December that it would reconsider whether
protection under the species law is warranted.
A conclusion may be released late this year. If
it supports protection, then a separate federal
process will begin. Alternatively, there could
be a conclusion that protection is not merited,

or that it is merited but precluded by higher priorities.
WildEarth Guardians, which petitioned for
review of the black-tailed prairie dog’s status,
questions methods in the Montana survey. But
even if Montana and the other states with
prairie dogs calculated accurate estimates, the
numbers would not move the animal beyond
critical risk, the group’s Lauren McCain said
Thursday.
“The threats to prairie dogs have increased
and the new surveys that show an increase of
acreage in no way demonstrate that the blacktailed
prairie dog is out of peril,” McCain said.
“There is still over a 90 percent loss of prairie
dog range in the last 100 years.”
He was employed at Sheridan
VA Medical Center, Meade Creek
Ranch and the WYO Theater.
Mr. McKennan enjoyed fishing
and camping in the Big Horn
Mountains as well as painting portraits
and landscapes,
woodcarving, and carpentry.
He was preceded in
death by a sister, Betty
Carter, and a son, Terry D.
McKennan.
Survivors include two
daughters, Kelly Long of

Anne Banas Kilgore, 81, of Sheridan, WY, died
Sunday, May 17, 2009 in Sheridan Manor with her
daughter, Shari, by her side.
Anne was born on March 30, 1928 to Dorothy
and Michael Banas in Dietz, WY. Her mother
died when she was an infant. Anne was blessed to
be raised by Anna and Paul Wallach, and had a
very special love for them.
Anne was married to Walt Washut. She possessed a unique talent
and interest in home planning and decorating, and was invited to act
as a delegate to McCall’s “Women’s Congress on Better Living,” in
1957. While in Sheridan, she worked at Memorial Hospital.
Anne married Bill Kilgore in 1967 and lived in South Dakota and
Colorado. While in Denver, she was employed with Presbyterian
Hospital and the National Park Service, enjoying many friendships.
Anne, or as her childhood friends called her, “Anna Banana”,
loved gardening, flowers, and her pet companion cats. She was
creative and imaginative, and a talented artist. Anne’s artwork was
extraordinary and she maintained a daily journal, over the past
nineteen years. Her cherished journals are a living memorial for her
family.
Anne was preceded in death by Walt Washut, her parents, Anna
and Paul Wallach and Dorothy and Mike Banas, her infant sister,
Dorothy, brothers George and Mike Banas.
She is survived by her daughters, Toots Washut Taszut (Bill
Blackburn), of Bozeman, Shari Washut Thompson (Dwight), of
Sheridan, sister Anne Aksamit, of Sheridan, and grandsons, Jeremy

McBride seeks dialogue with reservation districts
CHEYENNE (AP) — State
Superintendent of Public Instruction Jim
McBride says he is reaching out to tribal
leaders to try to improve education on the
Wind River Indian Reservation.
McBride met recently with the Eastern
Shoshone and Northern Arapaho business
councils to discuss the three poorly performing
state school districts and a U.S. Bureau
of Indian Affairs school on the reservation.
He said a new state Department of
Education task force will maintain monthly
contact with the tribes on education matters.
Nearly every grade that is given the state
assessment test in the reservation communities
of Arapahoe, Fort Washakie, Ethete and
St. Stephens has scored below average in
reading, writing, math and science over the
past few years. Reservation youth also have
some of Wyoming’s lowest high school
graduation rates — and higher-than-normal
rates of alcohol and drug abuse, state figures
show.

believe that they can achieve,”
McBride said Wednesday.
The education director for
the Northern Arapaho Tribe,
Alfred Redman, acknowledged
that reservation students aren’t
performing well.
“We’re failing them someplace
along the line,” Redman
said.
McBride said his belief that
all students can improve goes
back decades, during his U.S.
Air Force assignments in the
South and Los Angeles. Some
people down South said black children as a
group couldn’t do well in school, McBride
said, and others in California said the same
about Latino children.
“It wasn’t true then. It isn’t true now,” he
said. “I just believe in these kids, and I think
they should be able to achieve. They simply
just need a different set of supports than
maybe the population at large.”

Redman plans to follow up
on McBride’s April 30 visit to

with tribal elders next week.
The meeting will focus on
improving school attendance,
he said.
“I don’t know if they’ll be

not, but we’re going to try to
solve it,” Redman said.
Redman, who has retired
from a long career as a social

Fremont 38 and Fremont 21 both have
charter high schools. The districts established
the schools on the premise that attendance
and graduation rates would improve if
reservation students weren’t sent to the high
schools in Lander in Riverton, according to
McBride.
“What we’re finding out is that hasn’t
been the case,” McBride said. “The graduation
rate, the attendance, haven’t really
changed a great deal from the past the past.
So that’s why I went to the tribes. If you told
me that, then we need to make it true.”
McBride said more than 100 people
attended his meeting with the tribal councils.
He said he asked the tribal leaders to help
support the schools and teaching.
“It’s hard for us to get the kids to come to
school,” he said. “But a tribal elder can go to
a house and knock on a door, and with his
standing in the community and his recognition,
they can make a difference.”

Man sucks snake venom
from dog’s nose; both OK
CHEYENNE (AP) — A Hawk Springs man says he
saved his dog’s life after sucking venom from a rattlesnake
bite out of the animal’s nose.
But a nurse at the hospital in Torrington later told
Bobby Jenkins that’s not a good idea.
Jenkins says he began feeling ill after getting his dog,
Tank, to a veterinarian. He went to the hospital and
received a dose of antivenin.
In all, Jenkins needed four vials of antivenin at a cost
of $3,500 per vial.
Meanwhile, Jenkins says his dog’s head swelled up
to three times its normal size. Tank had been bitten after
running under some equipment on the family ranch.
The dog also received antivenin and both Jenkins and
his dog have recovered.
Year after tornado,
Laramie has healed
LARAMIE (AP) — Laramie has almost completely
recovered in the year since a rare tornado skipped
through parts of the city.
The tornado struck the afternoon of May 23, 2008.
The twister killed one person and injured 13 others in
Colorado before roaring into Laramie from the southeast.
The wind damaged several homes and buildings.
They ripped off a porch and part of the roof at the
Quadra Dangle Square Dance Club, an 80-year-old log
building on the National Register of Historic Places.
The club repaired the building with insurance money
and donations.
City officials decided after the tornado that the
Laramie Recreation Center could serve as a public shelter.
The city plans to install a backup generator at the
building later this year.

Grand Teton National Park has received a prestigious
National Park Service award.
Pete Armington now is chief ranger at Denali
National Park in Alaska. He was the Jenny Lake sub-district
ranger when he helped convert backcountry rescue
operations to take advantage of helicopters.

Nuggets even series with Lakers
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Similar
game, different ending for the Los
Angeles Lakers.
Their 24-year playoff dominance
of the Denver Nuggets dissipated
over the final 29 seconds of the
fourth quarter in the second downto-the-wire
game in the Western
Conference finals.
That’s when Kenyon Martin hit a
layup in traffic and Chauncey
Billups made 3 of 4 free throws to
give Denver a 106-103 victory in
Game 2 on Thursday night to even
the series.
“It’s going to be a long series,”
Nuggets coach George Karl said.
It was Denver’s first playoff win
against Los Angeles since 1985, a
span of 11 games, the secondlongest
postseason winning streak
against one team in NBA history.
“There was just a demand that
we had to win this game,” Karl said.
“There was an inner spirit. We’re a
much more smart, mentally tough
team than you look at last year and
what we are now. It’s a great win.”
Carmelo Anthony scored 34
points, Billups had 27 points and
Linas Kleiza added 16 for the
Nuggets. Nene finished with six
points, nine rebounds and six assists.
Anthony twisted his ankle in the
game, but he said he would be fine
for Game 3 Saturday in Denver.
Kobe Bryant had 32 points,

including making all 10 of his free
throws, Trevor Ariza scored a career
playoff-high 20 points and Pau
Gasol had 17 points and 17
rebounds for the Lakers, who
dropped to 7-2 at Staples Center this
postseason.
The Nuggets recovered from
poor free throw shooting in a twopoint
loss in Game 1 to make 17
consecutive foul shots until Billups
missed one with 4 seconds remaining.
He made the second for the
three-point lead.
Derek Fisher launched a 3-pointer
from the right corner that Nene
got a piece of as time expired.
Tied at 101, Martin made the
layup off Nene’s assist that gave the
Nuggets the lead for good.
Bryant dribbled upcourt and got
into traffic, with Nene tipping the
ball away to earn a jump ball with 18
seconds left. Gasol controlled the tip
to Ariza, but the ball squirted away
and Fisher fouled Billups. He made
both for a 105-101 lead.
Martin then fouled Gasol, who
made both before Billups got fouled.
The Lakers were shaky on free
throws in the fourth, making 9 of 14,
while Denver didn’t blink at the line.
The Nuggets were 29 of 37, with
Billups hitting 13 of 16 and Anthony
10 of 14.

There are strong indications that
you could undergo an alteration in
your attitude in the year ahead,
either by choice or circumstances.
This personality change will make
you a stronger and more attractive
person.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) —
Because things are going well,
you’re apt to be a bit more generous
with your friends. This can be good
or bad, depending on how far you go
when it comes to dealing with a taker.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) —
Financial situations you manage for
yourself could be doing better than
they have in a long time. However,
because of this, someone who
knows you’re an easy mark might
try to put the bite on you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Be
careful about letting some kind of
recent situation cause you to prejudge
someone who has nothing to
do with your past experience. You
could make a bad mistake.

However, that can wait for
a moment. First check the
points. There are only 18
missing. Because East
opened, West surely cannot
have both the diamond
ace and heart king. At
trick two, lead your diamond
king. When West
turns up with the ace, East
must have the heart king.
When back on play, lead
the heart queen and rise
with dummy’s ace, hoping
the king drops.
I have said it before
and will probably say it
again: If you count only
one thing at the bridge
table, make it high-card
who always pay their way and ask
for nothing of others. If you are
careless in your choices, you could
end up with someone who saddles
you with the tab.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) —
Even if your companions know you
are an expert on certain things, don’t
try to do it all by yourself. For the
sake of making your cohorts feel
involved, let them do what they can.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) —
This is one of those days where you
may create some needless problems,
especially if you’re too rigid or
overbearing in your dealings with
others. Don’t be officious or highhanded.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) — Getting in too deep with a
friend’s problem could cause you to
lose your objectivity and ability to
get along with others who may be
involved. Be discriminating and
judicial.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
— Although you are likely to do a
number of praiseworthy things, be
careful not to toot your own horn.
Wait for the accolades to come from
others.

points, especially when on
defense, or as declarer
after an opponent has
opened the bidding.
A longtime assistant could back off
if he or she realizes that the favor
you’re asking is something you can
easily do yourself. It might put an
end to always coming to your aid.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) —
You get plenty of consideration and
notice, so don’t get upset or jealous
if someone close to you gets more
attention than you. It’s simply his or
her turn.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) —
Financial conditions in general look
good, but this could be your downfall.
Knowing you’re OK could
cause you to spend foolishly and
recklessly.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) —
You’re quite perceptive and should
be able to discern when another is
not telling the truth. Yet when it
comes to someone who is glib, you
might buy anything he or she says
and do something foolish.

repairs you
shouldn’t
ignore
You might be tempted to put off
fixing your home until the economy
rebounds. Rebuild the patio? Sure,
right after your 401(k) rallies.
But the editors of Consumer
Reports warn that some problems, if
left unchecked, can lead to thousands
of dollars in repairs (rebuilding
a foundation wall, for instance)
and might even compromise your
family's health, such as mold contamination.
The trouble signs are easy to
spot, provided you know what to
look for. What's more, contractors
aren't as busy now, so they're likely
to be more flexible on price.
Here is CR's list of the five
biggest red flags of home maintenance,
with advice on how to deal
with them.
1. Runaway rainwater. Gutters,
downspouts and leader pipes collect
rainwater and channel it away from
the house. In very wet regions, leaders
should extend at least 5 feet from
the house. Check the entire gutter
system seasonally for proper pitch
and for clogs, corrosion, broken fasteners
and separation between connections
and where gutters meet the
fascia board. When inspecting gutters,
extend straight ladders 3 feet
beyond the roof at a 75-degree angle
to the ground.
2. Roof and siding. Roofs are the
most vulnerable to water infiltration,
given their exposure to the elements
and the laws of gravity. On a sunny
day, use binoculars to spot cracked,
curled, or missing shingles, which
are signs that the roof is near its end
of life. Also check flashing around
chimneys, skylights and roof valleys,
and the rubber boots around
vents for cracks. Siding is also susceptible
to leaks, especially where it
meets windows and doors. A $5 tube
of caulk might save you thousands
of dollars in structural repairs.

Senior Wellness event planned
Our beef about beef ... and other red meat
If red meat lands on your dinner plate
more often than Brad Pitt lands on the cover
of supermarket tabloids, put down that steak
knife and listen to this: Eating 4 ounces of
red meat a day (that's an average burger) ups
your risk of fatal heart disease or cancer by
almost 30 percent, versus people who eat
only 5 ounces a week.
And processed meats — hot dogs,
sausage, bologna, bacon — aren't noticeably
better for you than that quarter-pounder,
according to a major study from the National
Cancer Institute.
What makes red meat so perilous? Maybe
it's considerable levels of saturated fat, which
increase your lousy LDL cholesterol as well
as your belt size. Maybe it's high levels of
iron: Excess amounts do cellular damage.
Maybe it's HAAs -— nasty compounds that
form when meat is cooked at high temperatures
and that are linked to all sorts of cancers,
including colon, breast, stomach, pancreatic
and prostate. Maybe all three.
So try cutting back on beef
without giving up that meaty satisfaction.
Here's how:
Do a swap. Instead of beef
burgers, how about burgers made
from skinless ground turkey or
chicken, or even soy or mushrooms?
The same major study
found that people who ate the
most chicken and fish were 8
percent less likely to die during
the study than those who ate the least white
"meat." Just make sure your white-meat
burgers are made from skinless breast meat.
There's a big dif. For instance, if the label
just says "ground turkey," it probably
includes dark meat and skin. That jumps
your saturated fat intake from between 1
percent and 3 percent to as high as 17 percent
— more than you get with some lean
ground beef!
For a sophisticated change of pace, how
about salmon burgers or broiled crab cakes?

Love beans? Try recipes for lentil-almond
burgers (on RealAge.com) or chickpea patties

Move to the meaty mushroom. Big, thick
and juicy, portobello mushrooms have been
rated as satisfying and tasty as beef in studies,
and they make your arteries younger.
Use in place of beef in stroganoff, or throw
'em on the barbecue for a "make yourself

you" and "great taste." Yes, it does take
a few hours to learn how to work with
new-to-you foods, but those few hours

Use "stealth" soy. Make meatless
chili or meatloaf with soy crumbles.
Give them a hearty Italian spin with
sauteed onions, green peppers, mushrooms,
garlic and a dash of oregano,
and no one will taste the difference.
If you still can't get through grilling season
without some real red meat, limit yourself
to one 4-ounce serving per week. And
get smart about it:
Choose the leanest cuts. Top round steak,
mock tender steak, bottom round roast and top
sirloin have the least saturated fat (trim well
before cooking). And go for the ground beef
with the least fat (the leaner the ground beef,
the redder the color, by the way). Also, look
for the grass-fed beef that's making its way
onto supermarket shelves. It contains up to

water has
many uses
DEAR SARA: I ended up with
several small bottles of tonic water.
I feel bad throwing them out. What
can tonic water be used for other
than in mixed drinks? I don't like
the taste of it! — Becca, Texas
DEAR BECCA: Tonic water
contains quinine. It can help digestion
and ease muscle cramps. Since
you don't like the taste, you can use
it to clean stains. For example, if
you spill
coffee or
grape juice
on the carpet,
you
can pour
tonic water
onto the
stain. Let is

a cloth to
blot the

large plastic buckets (the kind that
restaurants throw out), and thought
I would use them to try my hand at
container flower gardening this
summer. If it were my backyard, I
wouldn't care about the looks, but
I'm borrowing a corner of my landlord's
backyard. I'm hoping to alter
the appearance somehow so the
planters look a bit better. They
don't have to look pretty, but I
would like to at least make them
look a bit less like giant preparedfood
buckets so my landlord's nicely
landscaped yard doesn't take too
much of a "hit" from my improvised
planters. Does that spray
paint designed for use on plastic
really adhere? Will it be OK if left
outside for the summer? — Liz,
Ontario
DEAR LIZ: Spray paints for
plastic work well. Some spray
paints for plastic require scuffing
the plastic containers to help it
adhere. But Krylon carries spray
paint called Fusion. It doesn't
require sanding, and it holds up to
the elements. You can find it at
your local hardware or craft stores.
It comes in plenty of color options
and costs less than $10 per can.

one-third less sat fat than grain-fed beef and
has some heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids,
too.
Cook it smarter. High-heat cooking methods,
such as grilling, broiling or pan frying are
what form cancerous HAAs. You can reduce
HAAs significantly by marinating meat for an
hour before cooking (even using canola oil
and balsamic vinegar for 15 minutes can
reduce these compounds dramatically), cooking
it over medium heat and by using rosemary
extract (available from several online
companies) before cooking.

Little hope in recovering 401(k) cash
DEAR BRUCE: My wife and I are both
on Social Security. I am 71 and she is 66. We
own our home and have no bills. Our 401(k)
statement came today with a loss of $34,000
leaving a balance of $62,000. At our age
could you give us some advice as far as riding
it out? — D.S., via e-mail
DEAR D.S.: The current recession is
most difficult for people such as yourself.
You worked hard to put money into your
retirement account and saw it disappear in a
heartbeat. The reality also is that it's very
unlikely that you will recover this money
actuarially. You may live to be 100 and that's
a different story. No one can tell you what is
the "right" thing to do under these circumstances.
You haven't shared with me any
other income you might have other than
Social Security. If the 401(k) is the only savings
you have, then I would be comfortable
with you moving this into a very secure
investment within the 401(k) if this is available.
If not, you are very likely in the no tax
bracket income and as a consequence you
can take the money out without tax impact.
The problem is then what are you going

rate, ARM locked in until 2010 at 4.75 percent.
We have one car loan that is interestfree.
I was able to find employment however
the salary is nowhere near what I was
making. My question is, we have enough
money to pay off the home mortgage, would
you recommend doing that or investing the
money elsewhere? My wife and me are in
our 50s. We are not having trouble paying
bills but the state of the economy has us both
worried, while trying to put together a plan
for retirement. — Reader, via e-mail

DEAR READER: Under ordinary circumstances,
my inclination would be to say
hang in there with a 4.75 percent. It is a very
favorable percentage rate. The question is
you say you have cash to pay off the mortgage,
what is it doing for you? If it's in cash,
the likelihood is it's earning considerably
less than the interest that you're paying on
the mortgage. Given that this adjustable
will probably kick up a good deal and
since you're salary has been reduced, your
options are relatively small. I am not comfortable
in using cash to pay off a mortgage
for someone at your age. Why not take a

look and see if you can get a permanent
mortgage. Right now 4 3/4 percent to 5
percent is a doable number is you meet the
income requirements and equity in the
home parameters. Y o u
want a mortgage without a prepayment
penalty. Given the difficulty with the economy,
I would be more comfortable keeping
the cash reserve. Unless you can get
assurance from the mortgage company
that you currently have and they will maintain
the 4.75 percent, I would be looking
for permanent money at that number. It is
available.
DEAR BRUCE: Could you please
advise a senior citizen (widow) whose
Social Security is quite small due to husband's
date of birth? She lives on the
$12,000 a year from Social Security and
interest from her savings. With the interest
rates so low on CDs, what can she do? She
promised her late husband she would never
put her funds into anything that was not
government insured (Federal Deposit
Insurance Corp.). Are there safe places that
are insured that she is not aware of? —
Reader, via e-mail
DEAR READER: Your comment
about the husband's Social Security and
date of birth indicate that he was in that
window that the people maintain that they
got a short shrift from Social Security
when the rates were adjusted. That matter
has never been resolved. The fact that she
committed to her husband that she would
never put her funds into anything that was
not government insured, dramatically
reduces her options. In essence (for practical
reasons), it's reduced to CDs insured by
the FDIC. Unhappily, those CDs are paying
a scant average of 2-1/2 percent today.
If she wishes to continue her pledge to her
husband, her options are almost nonexistent.

Network TV isn’t working at all
The nightly news just ran a story about
the financial crisis that newspapers are going
through and how they are jumping through
hoops to figure out a way to beat or join
the Internet. After this feature, the program
went to a commercial break. The
commercial was for ShamWow, the selfproclaimed
absorbent cloth you have lived
without for many, many years. It's an
advertisement you wouldn't have seen
during the network news a few years
back.
Not that long ago, like all "special TV
offer only, call now, but that's not all"
commercials, it would have run at 4:30 in
the morning between a rerun of a Gene
Autry oater and "The Return of the Return
of the Living Dead." Now it's running in
the middle of the nightly news. And network
television thinks newspapers are in
trouble? It’d better start looking over its
shoulder. On shows during which the only
companies that could afford to advertise
made automobiles, mass-produced fast
food, or beer, now you see commercials
for cloaklike blankets with armholes, and
pitches for Head On. Networks won't be
able to hire any more 5-million-dollar-ayear
anchors on that kind of scratch. The
death spiral begins.
One primetime show is bragging that
it had 6 million-plus viewers last week.
Twenty years ago, having that minuscule
of an audience would have gotten it
kicked off the air, and the executive who
OK'd the show would have been tarred,
feathered and displayed in the town
square for children to laugh at.
You will never see another "Cheers,"
"Seinfeld," "Cosby Show" or "Friends" on
network TV again. They are too expensive.
After a year or two of a hit show, the
once unknown stars want more money,
and the advertisers want to pay less. The
last season of "Cheers" Ted Danson was
getting $450,000 an episode. The six stars
of "Friends" were getting $1 million an
episode by the end of their run, while the

Mullen
grand prize after an entire season of "The
Amazing Race" and "Survivor" was exactly
the same. (We should all work in a
business where the words "only" and "1
million dollars" go together. Like politics.)
That's why reality shows are on network
TV to begin with — they are the
ShamWows of entertainment. Reality
shows, game shows and talk shows are
so much cheaper to produce than programs
that require scriptwriters and
performers, that you don't need huge
numbers of viewers to make them profitable.
It may work in the short term,
but who is going to watch a repeat of
"Survivor" five, 10, 20 years from now?
Or "Dancing With the Stars" or "The
Bachelor"? There is no payoff, and network
television's decline continues. Less
money coming in, cheaper shows, fewer
viewers and on it goes. So what is network
TV's answer to this inevitable
decline? Better shows? No more office
Christmas parties?
This weekend I watched a movie from
Netflix instantly, as it streamed onto my
desktop computer. No DVD, no mail, no
commercials. I could pause it, do something
else and come back to it at my convenience.
For less than nine dollars a
month, I can watch as many movies as I
have time for. Imagine what they'll be
offering to download two years from now,
five years from now. That's how fast TV
will change.
It wasn't that long ago that video
rental places charged a stiff membership
fee before they would rent you a VHS
tape for three bucks a day. What happened
to that business model?
Newspapers will adapt; they'll slowly
figure out that they're sitting on a goldmine
of back issues and photographs that
they can sell on the Net over and over
again until the end of time; they'll see
that they can easily self-generate
columns like "A Hundred Years Ago
Today," "Today in the Blogosphere" and
"Celebrity E-mails." The opportunities
are here and now. Any business that is
waiting for the future won't have one.

3. Pest infestations. Termites and
carpenter ants gravitate to moist soil
and rotting wood, another reason to
make sure your gutters are in good
shape and soil around your foundation
is graded properly. Also keep
mulch, firewood and dense shrubbery
away from your foundation.
Once termites infiltrate a home,
they can bore through the structure in
a few short years. To detect termites,
probe the sill plate (also called a
mudsill) that sits on top of the foundation
with a screwdriver to check
for rotted wood. To check for carpenter
ants, look for piles of sawdust
along baseboards. Regular termites
also shed wings along windowsills,
walls and other entry points.
Rodents gravitate toward disorder
and debris, such as leaf piles around
the foundation. Plug holes in the siding
and the foundation walls with
expandable foam. Don't forget to
look up for signs of birds, bees, or
squirrels in soffits and attic vents.
4. Mold and mildew. Even houses
in arid climates aren't immune.
Hot outdoor temperatures can drive
even small amounts of water trapped
in the structure to condense on colder
interior surfaces, leading to mold.

Canning together gets a fresh appraisal
From The Associated Press
Food preservation skipped a
generation in Megan Landen’s
family.
Her grandmother grew, picked
and preserved just about everything
Landen ever ate at her
house. The next generation didn’t
follow suit. Now Landen, 26, is
taking up the practice for the first
time, driven by economic uncertainty
and a desire to be more selfreliant.
This year, she tried out a community
cannery in Boise, Idaho, to
preserve onions, apples and beans.
“It feels really good and invigorating
to be able to rely on yourself,”
said Landen, whose husband
works at a computer chip maker
that has reduced its work force
over the last year.
Community canneries were
once common in rural areas, and
some local governments and private
groups are looking into reviving
them, said Elizabeth Andress,
a food and nutrition professor at
CHICAGO (AP) — Twice a year,
in the spring and again in the autumn,
six families on Vicki Matranga’s treelined
Oak Park block go to one neighbor’s
garage and bring out the $1,200
woodchipper they all pitched in to
buy. Then they gather around and feed
it dead branches gathered from their
yards.
“We chip up our branches and
make our own mulch out of it,”
Matranga said. “There are a couple of
passionate gardeners on our block.
Many of us who contributed to this
machine, we’ve lived on this street
together for 20 years.”
Financially, it was worth it for
Matranga and her neighbors to pool
their dollars and buy a big-ticket item
that none would use regularly but all
still needed yearly, she said.
“We were happy to share the cost
and storage of the machine,”

the University of
Georgia, Athens, and
director of the National
Center for Home Food
Preservation.
“The old model was
where families and
farmers just came and
canned for themselves,”
said Andress. There’s
interest in that again,
she said, plus “nowadays,
private concerns
and county government
are trying to provide
that community processing
center for business entrepreneurs
and farmers.”
Interest in home canning has
grown in recent years because of
concerns about food safety and a
general emphasis on home-grown
and locally grown food. People
who use community canneries say
they like learning from the experienced
canners there, and appreciate
not having to clean up their
own kitchens after a messy day of
food preservation. Communal can-
Matranga said. “We all made photocopies
of the warranty and the instruction
manual. It resides in somebody’s
garage.”
This one small example of neighbors
sharing an item is part of a trend
as the economy worsens, experts say.
People are turning to sharing and trading
— using community toy, bicycle
and tool libraries, swapping vegetables
online or checking out exotic
cake pans from libraries, instead of
buying their own.
“With the economy tanking, there
are even more people doing it now,
and it’s more visible,” said Jeff
Ferrell, a sociology professor at Texas
Christian University in Fort Worth,
Texas, who studies sharing networks.

neries have equipment
such as pressure cookers
often available to
use free or at low cost.
Landen made six
jars of strawberry jam
at home for the first
time last year but used
the community cannery
this time for other
foods.
“It was interesting
to work together with a
few people that I didn’t
know very well,” she
said. “It was so much
faster than doing it on your own,
and you just talked and had a good
time and before you knew it, it
was all over.”
The Boise facility she used is
run by the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints, which advises
members to keep an emergency
food supply at home. Fourteen
LDS canneries around the country
process 1 million cans of food
each year, for church members
and non-members, much of it

“People are looking for ways to
save money. If you have too many
tomatoes and you have too many
oranges, wouldn’t it be great if we can
meet each other?” Anderson said.
At the library in Galesburg, Ill., a
dozen cake pans shaped like hearts,
dinosaurs or footballs sit behind the
counter, available for checkout. Karen
Marple, the children’s librarian, keeps
track of the pans, which she buys on
sale or at yard sales for library cardholders
to share.
“They don’t want to spend so
much money on a cake pan that
they’re going to use one time,”
Marple said. “It’s free. It’s economics.”

Manager Clair Workman said
production at the cannery
increased 50 percent this year, and
he cited the poor economy.
Canning does cost money, but
once the equipment is in place it
can be economical, preserving
food that otherwise would spoil.
“Here there are a lot of farms,
and at the time of harvest they
can’t get rid of it all,” said Flossie
Raines, who manages a county-run
cannery in rural Brooksville, Fla.,
that costs users just $10 a year.
“I’ve come into work and found
buckets of pears on my front
porch. We just peel them, core
them, and put them in a syrup or
make pear sauce. Whoever canned
them gets them.”
Raines, 57, recalls depending
on a community cannery when she
was growing up.
“I can remember working at a
peach packing house when I was
just a child, and the culls they
couldn’t sell, you could take
home. It was plentiful,” she said.
Elsewhere around the country,
dozens of municipalities and nonprofit
groups have community tool
sheds, where citizens can borrow
hand or power tools for projects.
These types of sharing and
swapping systems aren’t all that
different from the way society
worked through the mid-20th century,
when family members lived
near one another, said Rosemary
Hornak, a psychology professor at
Meredith University in Raleigh,
N.C.
“It wasn’t uncommon that Aunt
Jane is the one who has the good
mixer and someone else has the
lasagna pan,” Hornak said. But
once we became a more mobile
society, “the idea of sharing the
lasagna pan — you weren’t going
to ship it across the country. It was
cheaper to buy your own.”

Skillet suppers surprise with flavor, ease
Life seems to have taken a U-turn lately.
More people seem to be gardening,
going out less and taking "staycations."
What was once considered old-fashioned
— the savings account, the library
card, the root cellar — has had new life
breathed into it. It's heady times for family
dinners. And a great time to brush off
the skillet.
A skillet (which is the same thing as a
frying pan, if you
are wondering) is
essential for cooking
everything
from scrambled
eggs to tarte tatin.
A skillet is the perfect
vehicle for
whipping up a onepot
meal — "whip-

ping" being the
operative word.
Dutch ovens, after
all, are great for
one-pot meals, but
the kind of meals
you cook in a Dutch oven take long, slow
cooking. Skillet suppers are quick and
satisfying.
If you can, use a well-seasoned castiron
frying pan for your skillet suppers. It
will require virtually no more oil than a
nonstick pan. It can be moved from stovetop
to oven or broiler without a hitch.
Some cooks prefer stainless-steel pans
on the grounds that they brown food more
evenly. If you choose a nonstick skillet,
be aware that researchers have raised
questions about toxic chemicals that can
be released when the pans are subjected to
high heat. Should you use nonstick pans,
never heat them without ingredients in
them, and avoid nicking the surface by
using only plastic utensils, cleaning with
nonabrasive products and refraining from
stacking them.
You can find skillet recipes in almost
any cookbook. Those below are from the
"Pillsbury Fast & Healthy Cookbook"
(Wiley, 2009) and from the tasty little volume
"Foods and Flavors of San Antonio"
by Gloria Chadwick (Pelican, 2009).
Tip: To season a new cast-iron skillet,
rub it inside and out with a thin film of
vegetable oil. Put both oven racks in the
Home-Style Sausage and Potato Skillet
lowest positions, and place a sheet of foil
on the lowest rack to catch drips. Invert
the skillet on the higher rack, and bake in
a 350 F oven for one hour. Turn off the
oven, and let the skillet cool inside. Clean
a skillet by sprinkling it generously with
coarse salt and rubbing with a clean paper
towel. If you use dish soap, re-season by
setting it over low heat to dry and then
rubbing with vegetable oil.
HOME-STYLE SAUSAGE AND
POTATO SKILLET
3/4 pound bulk light turkey or pork
sausage
1 large or 2 medium onions, peeled
and chopped
2 pounds red potatoes, unpeeled, thinly
sliced
1 cup water (see Cook's note)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Cook's note: For extra flavor, substitute
1 cup chicken or vegetable broth, or
1/2 cup white wine or dry (white) vermouth
combined with 1/2 cup water or
broth.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the sausage and cook, stirring fre-

quently, until no longer pink. Using a
slotted spoon, remove the sausage and set
aside. Drain off and discard all but about
2 teaspoons of fat. Add the onion, and
cook over medium heat until soft, about 5
minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the
cooked sausage and the remaining ingredients.
Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to
medium low, cover tightly, and cook 8 to
10 minutes, stirring occasionally, just
until potatoes are tender.
Remove from heat, and stir gently.
Let stand, covered, for 10 minutes to
allow flavors to blend and a light sauce
to form.

TEJANO BEEF
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 pounds stew beef, cut into cubes
1 medium onion, peeled and chopped
1 green bell pepper, stemmed, seeded
and chopped
1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
1 (14- to 15-ounce) can diced tomatoes,
with juice
1 (4 1/2-ounce) can diced green
chilies
1 (14- to 15-ounce) can red kidney
beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup frozen corn, thawed
1/2 cup sliced black olives
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup grated regular or reduced-fat
cheddar cheese
3 to 4 cups cooked rice, for serving
1 cup corn chips, crushed, for garnish
(optional)
Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over
medium-high heat. Add the beef, and
brown it on all sides. Add the onion, bell
pepper and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally,
for 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes,
chilies, beans, corn, olives, water,
chili powder, salt and black pepper. Stir
to mix. Bring to a boil, then reduce the
heat and simmer, covered, for 45 minutes,
stirring occasionally. Top with
cheese, cover, and let cook for 3 minutes
or until cheese melts.
Serve over rice, and sprinkle with
corn chips, if desired.
Yield: 4 to 6 servings
