Connecting generations,

building confidence

SHERIDAN — Two Rock Springs natives will advance to the nation-al competition after winning the Miss Wyoming and Miss Wyoming Outstanding Teen scholarship competition Saturday at the WYO Performing Arts and Education Center in Sheridan.

Jordan Hardman, a senior at the University of Wyoming studying fami-ly and consumer science, was crowned 2019 Miss Wyoming and Hannah Moore, a senior at Black Butte High School in Rock Springs, was named 2019 Miss Wyoming Outstanding Teen.

“I honestly do not remember a whole lot of that moment,” Hardman said about hearing her name called to be Miss Wyoming. “I know I definitely screamed very loud. It was an unbe-lievable moment for me.”

SHERIDAN — More than 475 community members made history as they marched from the Cozy Corner on Coffeen Avenue through much of Sheridan’s downtown and back in Sheridan’s first-ever LGBQT+ Pride March. A mass of people of all ages gathered in front of the local bar hold-ing signs, clothed in rainbow colors, waving flags while vehicles passed honking in support.

Katie Wallenkamp led the event. She announced the event on Facebook 10 days before the big day and received approval for the march by the city of Sheridan on the three-year reunion of the Pulse Nightclub Massacre June 13. Wallenkamp said after she posted it on Facebook, word spread. Bonafide Food Truck and Catering donated dough-nuts and AlphaGraphics donat-ed an LGBQT+ official sign.

“I have been seeing pride parades go on all over the country and I just wanted to make sure Sheridan had one too,” Wallenkamp said. “Maybe this will bring a voice to all the people that haven’t been heard for so long here in Sheridan.”

MISS WYOMING : Hardman hopes to represent wellFROM 1

Waking up the day after, Hardman had to make sure she was not dreaming. This was her third year compet-ing for the title.

An aspect of competing in Miss Wyoming is devel-oping a social impact, or a plan to create positive change in candidates’ com-munities.

Contestants write essays about a social issue they want to address to present to the judges along with a headshot and resume. During the competition, contestants present their social impact in 10 seconds during the evening gown portion of the event.

Hardman’s social impact is ‘Bridging History: Vets who lived it, Children who need it.’ Her goal is to visit communities in Wyoming to help build connections between veterans and chil-dren. Through this inter-action, both groups gain a new perspective on life and the children can learn more about history. She also wants this program to help with the emotional and mental health of both groups.

As Miss Wyoming, Hardman hopes to repre-sent Wyoming gracefully and to the best of her ability at Miss America later this year. Dates and time have not yet been announced.

Hardman wants to help grow the prestige and reach of the Miss Wyoming pro-gram, which is dedicated to scholarship, service and

empowering young women.The empowerment

received by participat-ing in Miss Wyoming is something Moore has experienced firsthand, see-ing her confidence improve throughout the process.

“I hope to inspire a bunch of young women to be them-selves,” Moore said.

Her social impact is ‘I am enough.’ Moore wants to help people realize their self-value. ‘I am enough’ helps people stop trying to change themselves to fit others views and instead encouraging them to just be themselves.

Moore said she learned

how to be herself and stop trying to fit the model everyone else had planned for her. She wants to be a role model for younger chil-dren to show that you can accomplish great things by just being yourself.

When Moore heard her name called, she was in shock and thought that they might be joking. Once she realized that it was not a joke but she did in fact win, Moore said it was an amaz-ing feeling.

Moore will represent Wyoming during the Miss America Outstanding Teen in Orlando, Florida, July 27.

After completing her

senior year of high school this coming year, Moore is planning on attending Utah State University to major in equine therapy. Miss Wyoming has opened up scholarship opportuni-ties for her to help pay for school.

Hardman will be going to professional school follow-ing her college graduation to be a pediatric physician assistant.

To prepare for the next level of competition, both women will be working with their teams in inter-view preparation, answer-ing questions and wardrobe shopping.

PRIDE : Ideas for next yearFROM 1

Rev. Sheila Naismith of Sheridan’s First Congregational Church came in support of the march.

“The United Church of Christ has long supported the LGBT community,” Naismith said. “For me personally as the minister here, this is about human rights; this has been long needed and I think folks might be surprised at the number of people out here, but I’m not.”

Steven Germann, a res-ident who was born and raised in Sheridan, was ecstatic to participate in his hometown’s first pride march.

“I grew up here and I didn’t have the visibility that this is going to provide for the youth who are strug-gling with their identity and their sexual orientation,” Germann said. “ The next generation will have a com-munity coming together for love and support towards someone like me or some-body who’s struggling with their identity like I did.”

Susie Clinch Cannon embraced the day as a proud Sheridanite.

“I love this town so much and I love watching it grow and express the wonder-ful welcoming nature of the Sheridan, Wyoming,” Cannon said. “I think it sends the message loud and clear, not just throughout our community, but to those outside that we are a welcoming place, that we embody the best part of the Western live and let live ethic.”

The streets filled in sup-port of the LGBQT+ commu-nity, and it seemed partic-ipants shared one mission for the day.

“This will create visibility and that’s the most cru-cial thing for the LGBQT community,” Lamont said. “This shows that people support them, that they love them, that there are people out there like them.”

With such large support, Wallenkamp already has plans in motion to improve the march for next year.

“I think next year we’ll make sure that we have a big spot to gather after-wards to have like a picnic, and we have a number of businesses we’ll be partner-ing with to make this bigger and better,” Wallenkamp said.

James Jackson awarded National Heritage FellowshipSHERIDAN — James

“Jim” F. Jackson, a leather-worker from Sheridan, has been awarded a National Heritage Fellowship, the nation’s highest honor in the folk and traditional arts.

Jackson is recognized for his excellence in leather carving. He has spent the bulk of his career doing custom work for King’s Saddlery King Ropes in downtown Sheridan and now demonstrates his leath-er carving at The Brinton Museum in Big Horn.

Jackson is deeply rooted in the leather carving tradi-tion, having grown up pri-marily in Sheridan, which is known worldwide for its distinctive Sheridan Style of leather tooling.

Jackson learned the art form from his father, the saddlemaker Edward Jackson, and other Sheridan leather carvers

including Don King, Bill Gardner, and Ernie Ernst. Consistent with Sheridan Style, Jackson carves a tight pattern, with a lot of small flowers wrapped in nesting circles of swirling leaves. At the same time, Jackson develops his own patterns and also experi-ments with form, combin-ing his painting and leath-erwork. Jackson is also a formally trained artist, holding a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Wyoming.

“Jim being award-ed a National Heritage Fellowship is truly a testa-ment to the caliber of his work. The NEA only gives these fellowships to the best of the best, and Jim belongs in that group. It’s difficult to understate both how prestigious an award this is, and how strongly Jackson deserves it, for his excellence in an art form that is in many ways, highly representative of

Wyoming and our western, ranching culture,” said Josh Chrysler, folklorist for the Wyoming Arts Council, which nominated Jackson for the award.

Jackson joins three pre-vious National Heritage Fellows from Wyoming: Don King, Western saddle-maker, 1991; Eva McAdams, Shoshone crafts and bead-work, 1996; and Martin Goicoechea, Basque bertso-lari poetry, 2003. Jackson, along with eight other recipients from across the nation, will be honored in Washington, D.C., in

September 2019.The National Heritage

Fellowships recognize the recipients’ artistic excel-lence and support their con-tinuing contributions to the country’s traditional arts heritage. Including the 2019 class, 440 NEA National Heritage Fellowships have been awarded, recognizing artists working in more

than 200 distinct art forms.Fellowship recipients are

nominated by the public, often by members of their own communities, and then judged by a panel of experts in the folk and traditional arts.

The panel’s recommen-dations are reviewed by the National Council on the Arts, which sends its

recommendations to the NEA chairman, who makes the final decision. Visit the National Endowment for the Arts website for more information about the Fellowships or to submit a nomination.

Steamy romance novelist Judith

Krantz dies at 91

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Writer Judith Krantz, whose million-selling novels such as “Scruples” and “Princess Daisy” engrossed readers worldwide with their steamy tales of the rich and beautiful, died Saturday at her Bel-Air home. She was 91.

Krantz’s son Tony Krantz, a TV executive, confirmed her death by natural causes on Sunday afternoon. He said he’d hoped to re-create the “Scruples” minise-ries before her she died but it is still in the works.

“She had this rare combination of commercial and creative,” he said.

Krantz wrote for Cosmopolitan and Ladies Home Journal mag-azines before discovering, at age 50, the talent for fiction that made her rich and famous like the characters she created.

Her first novel — “Scruples” in 1978 — became a best-seller,

as did the nine that followed. Krantz’s books have been trans-lated into 52 languages and sold more than 85 million copies worldwide. They inspired a series of hit miniseries with the help of her husband, film and television producer Steve Krantz.

“I always ask myself if what I’m writing will satisfy a reader who’s in a plane that can’t land because of fog, or who’s recov-ering from an operation in a hospital or who has to escape to a more delightful world for what-ever reason,” Krantz said in 1990. “That is the test.”

While her work was decided-ly less than highbrow, Krantz made no apologies for the steamy novels with titles like “Princess Daisy,” ‘‘Mistral’s Daughter,” ‘‘Lovers,” ‘‘I’ll Take Manhattan” and “The Jewels of Tessa Kent.”

“I write the best books I know how,” she once said. “I can’t write any better than this.”

She filled her stories with deli-cious details about her charac-ters’ lavish lifestyles — designer clothes, luxurious estates — and

enviable romances. And she spared no specifics when it came to sex.

“If you’re going to write a good erotic scene, you have to go into details,” Krantz told the Los Angeles Times in 1990. “I don’t believe in thunder and lightning and fireworks exploding. I think people want to know what’s hap-pening.”

So appealing were her sensa-tional stories of high-powered heroines that each novel was reimagined for television as an episodic miniseries. Steve Krantz, a millionaire in his own right through such productions as the animated film “Fritz the Cat,” helped translate his wife’s work for TV.

The author was also famous for living a glamorous life that paral-leled that of her characters. Her home in Los Angeles’ exclusive Bel Air community featured a soundproof writing room flanked by an immaculately kept garden. In her closet were many of the same designer-label clothes the characters in her books wore.

BUDGET: Also included funding for capital projects like improvementsFROM 1

Council also approved an eight-mill property tax levy for its fiscal year 2020 bud-get, which city treasurer Karen Burtis estimates will generate $1,580,800 in reve-nue for the city.

While some of the increase in the city budget can be attributed to growth — the city’s sales and use tax reve-nues exceeded expectations throughout fiscal year 2019 — the city also has several “big-ticket” expenses built into its budget for the com-ing fiscal year. The city will undertake an update of the city’s 20-year-old soft-ware system, which City Administrator Mark Collins said could cost between $835,000 to more than $1 million.

The city also has also included funding for capital projects like improvements to Black Tooth Park, North Park and the East Fifth Street corridor in the bud-get, as well as funding to solicit public input on ren-ovations to Kendrick Pool, which emerged as one of the public’s chief concerns in a survey that accompa-nied the city’s Parks and Recreation Master Plan update.

The city also had $227,000 in Optional One-Cent Sales

Tax revenues beyond what it projected in fiscal year 2019. Council voted to use $25,000 of those funds to purchase a snow groomer,

which city staff can use for a number of maintenance projects throughout the winter, and $75,000 to fund the city’s pilot “Pay As You

Throw” program, a metered waste-collection program designed to charge residents based on how much trash they throw away.

Spending objectionsCity Council President

Clint Beaver raised phil-osophical concerns about two relatively small expen-

ditures in the city budget. The first was a $10,000 contribution the city was making toward a Habitat for Humanity of the Eastern Bighorns project. Beaver explained that the hous-ing project would benefit a small number of people and said that he would pre-fer to see the money spent on something that would benefit a broad spectrum of citizens.

The other item Beaver objected to was $62,000 con-tribution the city was making to the Northern Wyoming Community College District for the establishment of a machine tools program at Sheridan College.

Beaver said he did not believe making direct con-tributions to the college was a city function.

Councilors Patrick Henderson and Richard Bridger argued that the city’s partnership with Sheridan College has helped develop a local workforce and contributed to the city’s economic development.

Beaver made separate motions to remove the two expenditures from the budget, but neither motion received a second from another member of council and council did not vote on them.

NEWSPAPERS

Wyoming Works program begins for

adult studentsCHEYENNE (WNE) —

Adult students in Wyoming will have more opportu-nities and resources to get the skills they need to secure employment with last week’s launch of the

Wyoming Works program.The program was

approved in March by the Wyoming Legislature, which allocated $5 mil-lion for the program. That money will be distrib-uted between the seven community colleges in Wyoming, according to a joint news release from the Educational Attainment Executive Council, Wyoming community col-leges and the University of

Wyoming.Three million dollars

of that allocation will go toward individual need-based student grants, while the remaining $2 million will be used for the pro-gram’s development.

“I think our overall goal is just the realization that as a community we need more education to be competitive,” said Dale Steenbergen, president and CEO of the Greater Cheyenne Chamber of Commerce.

“The idea that somebody is going to train for one career and have that career for the entirety (of their life) is not the reality we have today,” said Rob Hill, president of the Wyoming Association for Career and Technical Education.

People are more likely to have multiple jobs and careers throughout their lives that require different skills, he said. This program helps cater to those transi-tions.

The program caters to adult students who might have a home, family and job, said Judy Hay, vice president of student ser-vices for Laramie County Community College. Making the adjustment to go back to school might be difficult

for them, and the program grants help give them one less thing to worry about.

Albany commissioners

approve development moratorium

LARAMIE (WNE) — A 90-day moratorium on devel-opment overtop the Casper Aquifer, including a lengthy list of exemptions, was final-ized by the Albany County Commission in a meeting held last week.

The moratorium that was first passed by the commis-sioners on June 10 needed to be sign-off on by the county board one last time after the county’s Planning and Zoning Commission approved the moratorium on Wednesday, albeit with a lengthy list of exemptions created by county planner David Gertsch.

Ultimately, the county board passed the revised version 2-1 Thursday eve-ning after Commissioner Pete Gosar, who wanted stricter rules, voted “no.”

“I don’t think this does what a moratorium does. It doesn’t protect the (aquifer) one bit,” Gosar said.

The moratorium was enacted amid a dispute between the county and Tumbleweed Express, a gas station east of town — the only gas station to lie atop the overlay zone of the aqui-fer, which provides about half of Laramie’s drinking water.

As a “grandfathered non-conforming use,” Tumbleweed Express is only allowed to continue oper-ating because the business predates the county’s cur-rent regulations that now ban gas stations in the area.

When new owners began renovating the business’s

equipment, county officials unsuccessfully tried block-ing the new construction.

Last week, Albany County Attorney Peggy Trent said she was worried that Tumbleweed Express could possibly expand.

However, the exemptions for the moratorium allow a “pre-existing nonconform-ing use” like Tumbleweed to undergo a “modification, upgrade, expansion, repair” so long as they complete a “site specific investigation and include findings with the exemption form.”

WBC extends grant for carbon

innovation centerGILLETTE (WNE) — The

Wyoming Business Council Board has decided to extend a 2017 grant for the devel-opment of the Advanced Carbon Products Innovation Center (ACPIC), pending a legal review and staff con-tingency requests.

Phil Christopherson, CEO of Energy Capital Economic Development, said the Business Council grant is for $1.5 million. He’d requested an extension sev-eral months ago.

“When we started the project, we had a timeline established that said the construction of the building would be completed by the end of July 2019,” he said.

But things “kind of stretched out” due to the project’s increasing scope and his organization receiv-ing a $1.5 million grant from the U.S. Economic Development Association, Christopherson said.

That $1.5 million has been “set aside,” Christopherson said, but he’s waiting for the EDA to “give us an award letter” that will allow Energy Capital to spend the money.

The ACPIC is designed

to provide space for pilot facilities to drive existing research toward commer-cialization of carbon prod-ucts. With a steady supply of raw material — in this case coal — research can be transitioned into manufac-turing of advanced carbon products.

ACPIC will support com-mercialization for a variety of value-added carbon-based products such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, activated carbon, char for agriculture, coal to gas and coal to liq-uids.

Jackson man arrested in $50,000

burglaryJACKSON (WNE) —

Police arrested a man they believe stole $50,000 worth of items from his landlord’s house while the homeowner was out of town.

Michael Lynch, 36, is in the Teton County Jail charged with aggravated burglary and theft after deputies said he was caught selling stolen coins in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Lynch had been renting from the vic-tim for about a year.

When the victim, who owns a home south of town, returned to his house after a long trip he found most of his belongings missing.

Teton County Sheriff’s Sgt. Clay Platt said evidence is still being processed, but police believe Lynch stole high-dollar silver and gold coins, pills, computer hard drives, computer soft-ware, family memorabilia from West Point Military Academy, jewelry (includ-ing the victim’s deceased wife’s wedding ring), art-work, musical instruments, Navajo rugs, radio equip-ment, a rifle and two pistols.

“The victim is still finding things he’s missing,” Platt said.

Seattle’s addition looms as

part of draft weekend story

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — While the selections of Jack Hughes and Kaapo Kaako and the P.K. Subban trade all got their deserved attention during the NHL draft, one of the biggest crowds of the weekend sur-rounded a 59-year-old team executive and a Hollywood film-maker.

More than six months after the NHL announced its 32nd franchise, what’s happening in Seattle remains a curiosity in the hockey community. With the draft in Vancouver, and Seattle team president and CEO Tod Leiweke and part-owner Jerry Bruckheimer hanging out for the weekend, it amplified the questions about what is to come next for the yet-to-be-named franchise a couple hours to the south.

Seattle is still two years away from an expansion draft, its first league-wide draft and eventually dropping the puck on its inau-gural season. Yet the healthy interest in what is happening there was a big part of the draft weekend.

What’s going to be the team name? What will the colors be? Is the arena timeline still on track so the building could host the 2021 draft as the Seattle group desires?

Jerry Kelly wins home-

town PGA Tour Champions

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Jerry Kelly won his hometown PGA Tour Champions event, beat-ing Retief Goosen with a birdie on the third hole of a playoff Sunday in the American Family Insurance Championship.

Kelly closed with a 6-under 66 at rainy University Ridge to match Goosen and tournament host and fellow Madison player Steve Stricker at 15-under 201.

“The chills were flying up and down,” Kelly said. “It was pretty amazing. My mom saying the sun came out, my dad was there. I haven’t won since my dad passed, so this was the first one and I was talking to him all the time. There were a lot of birdies coming up and chirping right next to me and I was like, ‘Hey, hey, Dad, how are you?’ It was kind of surreal.” Goosen also had a 66, and Stricker shot 67.

“The playoff was exciting stuff,” Goosen said. “It was good to be in that sort of fight again. It’s been a while since I’ve been in that kind of position and it’s nice to finally get in that posi-tion. Now we can grow on that and I’m looking forward to the U.S. (Senior) Open next week.”

AP sources: UConn in talks to move back into Big EastHARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A

University of Connecticut official says the school is working to leave the American Athletic Conference and return to the Big East for bas-ketball and other sports.

The official confirmed Saturday

that there have been talks with the Big East, but said they were not aware any invitation had been extended. The official spoke to The Associated Press on condi-tion of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the

information. The school released a statement saying it is “our respon-sibility to always be mindful of what is in the best interest of our student athletes, our fans and our future. With that being said, we have been and remain proud

members of the American Athletic Conference.

The Big East and American conferences declined to comment on the potential move, which was first reported by the website Digital Sports Desk.

UConn is changing presidents and had not been expected to finalize any move until Thomas Katsouleas takes over from Susan Herbst in August.

DRAFT: Gm’s looking to protect players in creative ways after Las VegasFROM B1

Maybe most important to the hockey operations side of the 31 other teams — who is going to be the general manager and when will that person be hired?

“I will say this, the rest of the league is so excited about Seattle,” Leiweke said. “We’re going to bring the Pacific Northwest into the league. It’s a big territory. We’ve got Oregon, Washington, Alaska so I think the teams are really excited. They’re really friendly right now, I’m not so sure they’re going to be that way for-ever. For the time being they’re fantastic.”

Yes, teams are being helpful and welcoming of the Seattle fran-chise, in part due to the respect they have for Leiweke. His suc-cess in previous NHL stops when Minnesota was getting started and in revitalizing Tampa Bay has

given him clout among the rest of the league. The other league exec-utives know Leiweke will demand Seattle be an elite franchise from the start.

“He’s done this a lot,” said Red Wings GM Steve Yzerman, who worked with Leiweke in Tampa Bay and was at one time thought to be a GM candidate in Seattle. “He knows how to run a team, he knows how to build a building. He knows how to create an environ-ment, the in-game presentation, everything about running the business side of a pro sports team he’s done it. His personality and energy and people skills, he gets it done.”

But franchises also are starting to take account of what their own rosters will look like two years from now when Seattle starts to pillage other teams under the same rules that helped make Las Vegas so successful in its first

NHL season. GMs are smarter now and

creative ways to potentially pro-tect players are popping up. For example, when the Philadelphia Flyers signed center Kevin Hayes to a $50 million, seven-year deal, they included a full no-movement clause in the first three seasons to protect him from Seattle expan-sion. Hayes has a 12-team no-trade list in the final four years of the contract.

“It’s still early. Your roster is going to be different in two years and you have an outlook, but you know it’s coming,” Colorado GM Joe Sakic said. “We didn’t worry about it last time (with Vegas), but we were the worst team in the league last time. If you have to worry you have two or three guys they might select, chances are you have a pretty good team.”

Whether Seattle can have the same expansion draft success

as Vegas will largely depend on its GM and staff. While Seattle’s management was in Vancouver to learn some of the logistics of potentially hosting the draft in the future, the status of its GM open-ing remained a priority.

Seattle did make one addition, hiring Alexandra Mandrycky as the team’s director of hockey administration. Mandrycky was previously a hockey operations analyst for Minnesota.

“I’m incredibly enthusiastic about the faith Tod and the team have shown in me and their desire to use analytics to help build an outstand-ing team,” Mandrycky said.

Leiweke said there could be a GM hire this summer. Whenever it happens, it’ll be the first of many dominos over the next several months that’ll eventually include a nickname and colors.

“We’re prepared to make that investment if we land on the right

candidate who says the right things, we’re prepared to do that,” Leiweke said. “Part of what Jerry and I have been doing is having dinners and lunches and coffees with folks to get their take. It’s really a lot of fun.”

Nashville GM David Poile went through the expansion process with the Predators in 1998 and said while there was pressure with cre-ating a new franchise, it also was freeing to try out new things and build a team from its infancy.

Whoever ends up being the GM in Seattle will have a similar expe-rience.

“It’s one of those things where you get your handprints, finger-prints over everything that is being done in the franchise from hiring your scouting staff to coach-es, to working on your rink, your dressing room, all those things,” Poile said. “I thought it was one of the most fun years I’ve ever had.”

KELLY: Smoltz tied for 76thFROM B1

Stricker was eliminated with a bogey on the first extra hole. He missed an 8-foot birdie putt on the par-4 18th in regulation.

“I had some opportuni-ties coming in at 15, 16, 18,” Stricker said. “Pretty cautious with some of the putts. Didn’t hit some of my best putts. Then had the opportunity to win it all right there on 18. Misread it a little bit. I didn’t think it was going to break as much as it did and it just snapped off at the end.”

Kelly won on the par-4 15th after the playoff opened with two trips down the 18th. Kelly has

four victories on the 50-and-over tour after win-ning three times on the PGA Tour.

“It really is truly awe-some,” Kelly said. “It’s about friends and family and to be able to do it in front of everybody ... this is pretty sweet.”

Duffy Waldorf was a stroke out of the playoff after a 68.

Kevin Sutherland (63) and John Daly (66) fol-lowed at 13 under. Hall of Fame pitcher John Smoltz tied for 76th in the 78-man field at 12 over with rounds of 76, 78 and 74. Making his third tour start, the former Atlanta Braves star got into the field on a sponsor exemption.

UCONN : $10 million feeFROM B1

The official said the school also has not decided what to do with its foot-ball program, a sport the current Big East does not offer.

But two other people with knowledge of the dis-cussions also confirmed the negotiations and said an announcement from the schools and conference could come early next week.

The people spoke to the AP on condition of ano-nymity because no deci-sion had been announced.

The conference bylaws require UConn to pay a $10 million withdrawal fee and give 27 months’ notice before leaving. But, those who spoke to AP said UConn would not be allowed to remain in the AAC for football beyond the 2019 season.

UConn was a charter member of the Big East, which was formed in 1979 and the Huskies never actually left the confer-ence. The AAC was formed by UConn and the other remaining conference schools in 2013 after the league’s basketball-focused private schools broke away, eventually negotiat-ing to take the conference name with them.

UConn became a national power in basketball as a Big East school, winning three men’s titles under coach Jim Calhoun and eight women’s NCAA championships under Geno Auriemma.

The school added another men’s title and three more women’s championships as members of the American.

UConn football also found some success in the Big East going to five bowl games, including the 2011 Fiesta Bowl. But when Big East football collapsed so did the Huskies’ program, going 28-69 since that sea-son.

UConn also expressed displeasure in March when the American and

ESPN announced a new 12-year television contract designed increase revenue to the league’s schools, but put many of its games on ESPN-plus, the company’s subscription digital plat-form.

The new deal with ESPN kicks in in 2020-21, and does not change if the AAC has only 11 football teams, but the conference will explore bringing in a new member to stay at an even and more manageable 12, one of the people with knowledge of the situation said.

Wichita State, which does not have FBS foot-ball, also competes in the American, an addition made to boost basketball two seasons ago.

After the old Big East was picked apart in the last round of realign-ment — losing Syracuse, Pittsburgh, Louisville, West Virginia and Rutgers — it managed to reconsti-tute as the American by bringing in mostly larg-er-media market schools with football upside such as Houston, Memphis, SMU and Tulane. The conference also brought in Navy as a football-only member.

American Commissioner Mike Aresco, who took the job as the Big East was try-ing to find a way to survive with football and before the basketball schools split, had a deal to bring Boise State and San Diego State into the conference as foot-ball-only members in 2012 but those Mountain West schools backed out.

Aresco also had talks with BYU, a football inde-pendent with its other sports in the Big West, but could not reach a deal.

The American has long wanted to add Army, but the service academy has been reluctant to join a conference and give up control of its schedule. Air Force, another Mountain West school, also has been a school that has interested the American.

DEAR ABBY Pauline Phillips and Jeanne Phillips

IS CHICKEN REALLY AS BAD FOR YOU AS RED MEAT?

Almost 70 years ago a Swiss accordion player created the “Duck Dance.” A few decades later, a German band performed the song at an Oktoberfest celebration but

couldn’t find a duck costume. They dressed the dancer as a chicken instead, and the world-famous “Chicken Dance” was born. It soon became a favorite activity at sporting events and birthday parties worldwide.

While chicken dancing is great for your health, when it comes to keeping your lousy LDL cholesterol in check, chicken may not be a risk-free choice. Recent research found that you should be mindful of the amount and type of red and white meat you consume. A study of 113 people revealed that those who ate meat -- even skinless, lean poultry -- had a higher level of lousy cholesterol than people who eschewed (and didn’t chew) any meat.

But that doesn’t mean you might as well eat steak! Red

meat contains much higher levels of inflammation-causing proteins, mainly carnitine, than chicken. For example, 4 ounces of beefsteak has up to 162 milligrams of carnitine; 4 ounces of chicken breast has 5 milligrams. When your gut bacteria, and subsequently your body, process these proteins they create trimethylamine oxide (TMAO), which is linked to kidney dysfunction, increased risk of stroke and heart attack, impotence, cancer and memory dysfunction.

So skip red/processed meats and, if you eat animal proteins, stick with skinless, lean poultry as a side dish, and enjoy sea trout and salmon. Focus on vegetables, fruits, legumes and whole grains. That’s a meal worth dancing for!

LAKE HOUSE VACATION TRADITION CHANGES AFTER MOM’S PASSING

DEAR ABBY: Every summer, my husband and I, our two boys and my parents would take several vacations at Mom and Dad’s lake home. This is where Dad grew up and where we spent countless vacations as children. It holds much sentimental value to us all. We were lucky enough to have our own space upstairs and were free to enjoy the home as if it was ours. We always contributed to groceries and cleaning before we left, and it was very enjoyable for everyone.

My mother passed away last year after a long battle with a debilitating disease. Dad is planning to retire soon and move permanently to the lake home, which is about seven hours away. However, he has found a girlfriend he has become close to, and upon retiring, he plans to have her move in with him.

I am thrilled that Dad has found someone, but I’m left wondering how to handle visits to our beloved vacation spot once Dad’s new lady moves in. He insists we visit as we naturally would, which usually means staying several nights as it is quite far away. We don’t know Dad’s lady very well yet, and I’m feeling awkward about visiting. Do we continue to treat this as we once did, like it is partly ours? What’s proper etiquette here? -- THROWN IN SOUTH DAKOTA

DEAR THROWN: Your father has made it plain that he would like you to visit “as you naturally would.” Because you are feeling awkward, this is something you should discuss with him, if only to make sure he will be able to welcome you as he has in the past. It would not be a breach of etiquette to level with him about what’s on your mind. Once you start going there and interacting, you will get to know his lady friend, and she will get to know you -- and that should break the ice.

DEAR ABBY: I’m the youngest of five, and all of us are successful in our own ways -- except for our middle youngest sibling. She dropped out of college, had a bad breakup with a married man and has given up all hope and efforts to live a normal life.

She’s 34, refuses to work and still lives with our parents. She trashed the vehicle our father bought and paid for, and walks around the house talking to herself, which I believe is for attention because I have had serious conversations with her. I’ve tried several times to be a sympathetic ear and encouraged her to find a job, but it’s not working.

What can we do to help her get a job and move? She’s a burden on our family, and it’s depressing to have her

present for family events she doesn’t dress for or make an effort to receive other family members. If this continues, I’m scared of what may happen after our parents pass. What can be done for an adult who refuses to grow up and move on? -- HOPELESS IN GEORGIA

DEAR HOPELESS: I have another idea why your sister walks around the house talking to herself and can’t motivate herself to be independent. She may be severely depressed or suffering from other mental problems. Talk to your parents and tell them they are not helping her by ignoring the fact that she isn’t functional. They need to insist that, as a condition of staying with them, she talk to a mental health professional.

Omarr’s Daily Astrological Forecast Jeraldine Saunders

BIRTHDAY STAR: Actress Linda Car-dellini was born in Redwood City, Calif., today in 1975. This birthday star earned a 2013 Emmy nomination for her role as Sylvia Rosen on “Mad Men.” She also por-trayed Meg Rayburn on “Bloodline” and Samantha Taggart on “ER.” On the big screen, Cardellini’s film resume includes “Avengers: Endgame,” “Green Book,” and “Daddy’s Home.”

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): Let things run their course. Don’t worry too much when it comes to a potential problem as the situ-ation will most likely correct itself. Devise strategies and make observations but take no impromptu action.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Set the record straight. Someone who tries to exercise authority that they don’t have may need to be gently reminded of that fact. If over-as-sertive people are accommodated now, they could keep pushing boundaries.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Knowledge is golden. However, it is in-depth comprehen-sion of an issue that is most valuable, so you may want to delve deeper to discover

all the facts. Avoid starting any significant endeavors without careful forethought.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Remember that every cause has an effect. Take time to anticipate the consequences of your actions and find a solution that makes the fewest ripples. Resist the temptation to make an impulse buy of something silly or trendy.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The force is with you. Use your feelings and instincts to guide you through rocky territory today as your intuition serves you well. Others may be pleasantly surprised if you demonstrate your strengths and abilities.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t concern yourself with “what ifs?” Life holds count-less possibilities, but you’ll never find out what you can actually achieve unless you start to make your move. Steer clear of con-troversies and empty daydreams.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Clear your mind and the rest will follow. You’ll perform at a higher level if you adopt an analytical approach to everything and don’t become emotionally involved. Fears and doubts are your worst enemies now.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): One step for-ward can sometimes equal several steps back. Acting impulsively or overreacting could quickly undo a great deal of progress. Remain patient, grounded, and try to leave well enough alone for now.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Attain-ing dreams requires patience. Important events in your life will unfold in their own good time; do what you need to do to keep it all going in the meantime. Don’t let impa-tience lead you to poor decisions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Nip it in the bud. Deal with adversity both quickly and kindly and you will be most impressive to those watching. Meet challenges head on; don’t assume that passing problems will just go away now.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): March to your own beat. Others may have separate agendas, which may or may not align with yours, so adhere to your own standards and objectives. Don’t agree to projects which would require you act unethically in any way.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): You are the

product of all your experiences. Past inci-dents that may have been unpleasant at the time have provided you with the wisdom and grit to get you where you are now. De-feat can be as valuable a lesson as victory.

IF JUNE 25 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: As the next five to six weeks unfold you might feel more dynamic and popular than usual. This can be a good time to make important changes and to shake off old habits and restrictions. However, some people you meet may not be more than casual acquain-tances; don’t automatically assume they’ll be loyal supporters. During September it is best to avoid making changes or key de-cisions. You may be more romantic than usual, so could succumb to temptations and this could cause misunderstandings. In early October you can make sound apprais-als of your assets since you will be savvy about financial matters, but you may also be overly competitive and lose traction in negotiations. You might waste time and energy in November because you are dis-tracted by wishful thinking, so wait until December to make key decisions.

Hints from Heloise Heloise

Dear Read-ers: Today’s SOUND OFF is about tele-marketing calls that are using the names of family and

friends:“Dear Heloise: I got a

phone call last night, and caller ID said it was from my son. I answered, only to get a marketer for some product I won’t buy. In fact, I encourage others I know to never buy a prod-uct from a telemarketer. So many marketing calls are scams. The Do Not Call list doesn’t screen out calls from my son, my friends or my alma mater. When will companies learn this is not an effective way to sell any-thing?” -- Bess G., Sherman, Texas

Bess, telemarketing calls are becoming a real problem in this country. Readers, you can eliminate a number of these calls by going online and registering at www.donotcall.gov, or you can call 888-382-1222. If you move or change phone numbers, you’ll need to

re-register. -- HeloiseSEND A GREAT HINT

-- HeloiseJOB INTERVIEWSDear Heloise: For the past

six years, I’ve worked in human resources and done hundreds of interviews for a large corporation. I’d like to make a few recommenda-tions to help people apply-ing for a position.

First, no matter what your line of work is, stay current. Learn all the new tech gad-gets required for your line of work. Next, make certain your resume is updated and easy to read on one page. You need not go back to

your first job if it was more than 10 years ago. When interviewed, dress profes-sionally. Good luck on the interview. -- Stacy W., Pend-leton, Ore.

GARAGE SALEDear Heloise: I’ve never

had a garage sale, and I don’t know what to do. Can you make a few suggestions for the garage sale I plan on having this summer? -- Karen S., St. Joseph, Mo.

Karen, first, see if you need a permit to hold a garage sale, and if you do, then get one. Make sure everything you’re selling is clean and tagged with a price. Be open to negotiate, because an item is only worth what someone will pay for it. Display items attractively in aisles so that people can move around and pick up an object. Have someone who is in charge of the money. Make sure you have 10 or 15 single dollars, and that way you can make change. Don’t forget to put an ad in the newspaper and a sign out in front of the house. Also, you can men-tion on social media that you are having a garage sale. -- Heloise

Bridge Phillip Alder

Some declarers always as-sume the sun will shine. More successful ones will worry about inclement distribution. In today’s deal, South pushes into four spades. What should he do after West leads the club jack, and East signals with the

eight?What are South’s potential losers? On a

bad day, two spades (West has at least ace-jack-third), one heart (the finesse loses) and one diamond. If it is that bad a day, South will have no chance. So, let’s be optimistic, in particular, hoping the spade suit will be more favorable.

The natural reaction is to take the first trick on the board and to play a spade to the queen or king. (Yes, here finessing the 10 works well, but it is not the correct play.) When declarer wins the second trick, he returns to the board with a club and leads its remaining trump. However, suddenly the weather turns nasty. East wins with his spade ace and shifts to a diamond. West takes that trick and leads another club, which East ruffs. Then, whether he leads a heart or tries to cash the diamond king, South will lose a heart trick and go down one.

East’s club eight at trick one should have sounded a warning siren. At trick three, declarer should have led his diamond to cut the communications between the defend-

ers. Then East cannot get a club ruff, and South loses only one spade, one heart and one diamond.

Yes, if the cards were distributed differ-ently, declarer would need to do something else, but the recommended play gets the nod from mathematicians.

SENIORSFalls: When gravity works against you

Have you ever tripped on the sidewalk and suddenly found yourself on the pavement? Have you ever been carrying the laundry and missed a step? Have you ever slipped

getting in or out of the bathtub? Does walking on ice make you fearful? These are just a few exam-ples of how we all can come into conflict with gravity.

Falls are a significant risk for all of us, but the risks, significance and consequences of

falls increase with each year of life. For those older than 65, one out of three people will fall each year and that number increases to one out of two people older than 80, according to a 2019 article in the New York Times, “Every 19 minutes in this country, an older person dies from a fall.”

This is not to say that younger people don’t fall, but the prevalence and con-sequence of falls increases with age. As we age we begin to have deficits in our vision,

hearing, muscle strength and balance, all fac-tors that we use to maintain an upright posi-tion. We are more likely to be on medications that will potentially contribute to poor balance. Also, we may develop diseases that affect our balance such as heart disease, arthritis and nerve pain, to mention just a few.

At any point in our lives we may wear shoes that contribute to instability such as high heels, flip flops and slippers. Our houses may have trip hazards lke throw rugs and electrical cords across the floor. We may not have good lighting, and few of us install grab bars in our bathrooms until something happens that makes us need them. I fell because I was hurrying on ice and probably wearing shoes that were a poor choice. I only broke my wrist, but it could have been worse.

Falls are one of the most significant causes of death and injury in the elderly and have an enormous cost, according to an article, “In 2015 direct medical costs [related to falls] were esti-mated to exceed $50 billion dollars.”

Assessment of the contributors to falls can help people make good choices about home setup, shoe choices, assistive devices and strategies needed to offset risks from medica-tions taken.

The Hub on Smith is creating a fall risk edu-cational program. This program is designed to help you to learn the risk of falling and its significance. Self-assessment tools will be avail-able to assess risk, providing information to take to a provider to discuss ways to mitigate identified risks. Discussion with a health care provider regarding steps to take to prevent falls is an important follow up.

Anyone can fall at any age and gravity is great when your feet are on the ground, but it is not your friend when you stumble, trip, lose your balance or slip.

Santa Fe’s ‘Alzheimer’s Cafe’ helping people with dementiaSANTA FE, N.M. (AP)

— Monthly gatherings in Santa Fe focusing on cre-ative stimulus for those living with Alzheimer’s or dementia are helping to boost a trend that’s grow-

ing nationwide.The city hosts an initia-

tive called Alzheimer’s Cafe, part of a movement to accommodate the grow-ing number of people with dementia, the Santa Fe

New Mexican reports .Participants at the two-

hour meeting focuses eat snacks and make crafts to stimulate their minds.

Susan Balkman, who recognized early signs of Alzheimer’s disease about eight years ago, said the gathering is an opportu-nity for participants to express themselves — and for loved ones without the disease to remember that the participants “still have a brain.”

Founded in Santa Fe by Alzheimer’s special-ist Jytte Lokvig in 2008, Alzheimer’s Cafe grew out of a concept introduced more than a decade earlier in the Netherlands by a psychiatrist.

The National Alzheimer’s Cafe Alliance said the concept caught on quickly

in Europe, but the Santa Fe gathering was the first event of its kind in North America.

Lokvig, who has writ-ten several books on Alzheimer’s care, has served as a catalyst for the movement.

“The best way to help people living with demen-tia is to empower them as much as possible,” Lokvig said.

The idea is to interact with people who have varying degrees of memory loss, “not as people with dementia, but as whole people,” she said.

During Lokvig’s monthly gathering, an assortment of snacks, painting sup-plies, collage materials and music sheets are spread across a table in a back room of the Santa

Fe Children’s Museum. Participants are given the freedom to explore and are never forced to do any-thing, Lokvig said.

She called the results astounding. Some partici-pants mix dynamic colors, painting abstract shapes onto paper plates, while others cut and glue words and photographs into com-plex designs. Sometimes they sing and dance.

What’s surprising to most people, Lokvig said, is that those who have forgotten how to speak often still remember how to sing familiar songs like “You Are My Sunshine” and Frank Sinatra classics, such as “Fly Me to the Moon,” as well as move to the rhythms.

“You can’t tell they have Alzheimer’s,” she said.

Susan Robinson calls Alzheimer’s Cafe essen-tial for her best friend of 20 years, Ann Anthony, 89, who has had a more advanced form of the dis-ease for about three years.

“It gives her stuff to focus on that she’s good at, and the people don’t treat her any different than she’s been her whole life,” Robinson said.

Although Robinson said Anthony becomes frus-trated by direct questions when she doesn’t know the answers and sometimes doesn’t remember she has been to the gathering, “that doesn’t matter.”

“When Ann has a good time and has a good day,” Robinson said, “I feel like celebrating — and that happens every time she goes to Alzheimer’s Cafe.”

Judge says new law complicates medical marijuana disputeMISSOULA, Mont. (AP) — A judge

says new legislation is complicating a lawsuit over whether Montana’s health department was wrong to deny licenses to the state’s largest medical marijuana business to open four new grow sites and a storefront in Helena.

Earlier this month, District Judge Dusty Deschamps issued an order allow-ing Lionheart Caregiving of Bozeman to move forward with the five new opera-tions while the case continued.

After hearing arguments on the tem-porary restraining order on Wednesday, Deschamps gave Lionheart and the state Department of Public Health and Human Services until July 15 to file briefs on whether he should continue hearing the case or if it should go to an administrative hearing as required by new legislation passed this spring.

State officials declined to comment on the ongoing case.

Attorney Josh Van de Wetering said most of the issues go back to the state not allowing Lionheart to use its seed-to-sale tracking software last year and the inability of Lionheart’s own tracking software to communicate with the state system known as Metrc.

That led to Lionheart being out of compliance with state law and the state denying it a license to open new grow sites in Livingston, Belgrade, Great Falls and Helena and the storefront within the Helena city limits. The health department alleged Wednesday there were other issues at Lionheart, includ-ing 27 pounds of marijuana and more than 300 plants that are unaccounted for, the Missoulian reported .

Van de Wetering told The Associated

Press on Thursday the state made that allegation in court just before 5 p.m., and Lionheart didn’t have a chance to rebut the testimony.

Lionheart has information about the marijuana and plants in question in its own tracking and point-of-sale system, Van de Wetering said. He can include that information in the briefs due next month. “We are obeying the law,” he said. “To the degree that we’ve been denied access to Metrc we have kept our own data. We’ve offered to share it with the state. They won’t even look at it.”

Lionheart has given up on opening grow sites in Belgrade, Great Falls and Helena, Van de Wetering said, but has moved forward with the outdoor grow site in Livingston and the storefront in Helena under the temporary restraining order.
