Wyominglawmakers
feel the heatas energy
fortunes turn CHEYENNE (AP) — The
Wyoming Legislative ses-sion that wrapped Fridaymarks a turning point.
For the past decade andmore, surging tax revenuefrom energy production hasallowed Wyoming to put bil-lions into savings and trustfunds even while putting bil-lions more into state con-struction projects.
But the party's over nowin the nation's leading coal-producing state and a majorplayer in other aspects ofenergy production.
Big coal companies thatfor years footed the bill forschool construction throughbillions in bonus paymentson leases in Wyoming'sPowder River Basin are nowfighting for their very sur-vival. Demand for coal hasfallen as the federal govern-ment has cracked down onemission limits from coal-fired plants and recentlyimposed a moratorium onnew coal leases. Prices foroil and gas, two other eco-nomic mainstays for thestate, also are low.
“I do know we have toughroads ahead,” Gov. MattMead told members of theHouse of Representatives inclosing remarks Fridaynight. “But I know all of uswill work together, alwaysin the best interests ofWyoming. We have a buck-ing bronc on our licenseplate for a reason; whenthings get tough, that'swhen Wyoming reallyshines.”
Rather than the usual con-versation among lawmakersof how much money to putin the bank, this legislativesession saw lawmakersstressing about how much ofthe state's $1.8-billion “rainyday” fund to spend to keepstate government operationsafloat.
‘I do know we havetough roads ahead. But
I know all of us will work
together, always in the best
interests of Wyoming. We
have a bucking bronc on our
license plate for a reason;
when things get tough,
that’s when Wyoming
really shines.’

Mental health expert talks porn, online violence, risks facing youthBY PHOEBE TOLLEFSON
SHERIDAN — A child psychologistvisiting from Kentucky is urging par-ents to talk to their kids about sex —and soon.
“A lot of times parents get really con-fused and they get really sweaty under-neath the collar — ‘I can’t talk to mykids about sex, are you kidding me?’”she said. “‘You’re asking me to talk tomy 3-year-old about sex?’ Yes I am.”
Karen Hutcheson’s talk Sunday nightat Cornerstone Church focused on howthe spread of pornography in today’sfrenzied online world distorts peoples’understanding of sex and sexuality, andcan fuel problems such as sexual vio-
lence and exploitation of minors. “Our kids are learning that women
like to be hurt,” Hutcheson said ofthe extremity in today’s porn. “Ourkids are learning that women like tobe abused. Our kids are learning thata real man does whatever he wants toa woman.”
Hutcheson, a licensed clinical psy-chologist who lives in Louisville, saidthat if audience members took awayno other information from the night,they should remember that today’spornography is vastly different fromthe pornography of the past. Notonly is it more “extreme,” it also iseasier than ever to access.

GIFT: Benefit students seeking IT jobsFROM 1
“IT jobs are projected by the Departmentof Labor to grow at a rate that is two-thirdshigher than the average for all jobs,” headded. “Our timing is spot-on, and to beable to work with area schools to reach stu-dents at a young age and generate interestin this educational path is important forthe future of our economy.”
PLTW will strengthen existing program-ming classes and provide a tie between sec-ondary and post-secondary programs. Twoclassrooms on the main SC campus will beequipped to support the program. Oneroom will be for use by secondary students;
the second will support college studentspursuing a degree. The college will alsohire an additional instructor who will helpprovide college-level instruction to areaschools, as well as facilitate student advis-ing and transition.
“This is the model for the future,”Dougherty said. “Partnerships like this arecritical in order to ensure students arelearning relevant skills that are marketablein today’s economy.”
Whitney Benefits has played a big role inestablishing and helping grow the SheridanCollege campus and its programs. Thisincludes the first gift of land on which thecampus is built and which now encompass-es more than 140 acres — all provided byWhitney Benefits. In total, WhitneyBenefits’ generosity and gifts to SheridanCollege exceed $90 million. WhitneyBenefits was created under the Last Willand Testament of Edward A. Whitney, aSheridan County resident who passed awayin 1917.
RISKS: Second talk set for Monday nightFROM 1
“You don’t have to searchfor porn to be exposed toporn,” Hutcheson said. Shewent on to recount kidslooking for a Disney movieonline and stumbling uponporn. “It was about a three-click trajectory from abenign search.”
Hutcheson said it is nevertoo early to begin talking tokids about sex. The key ismaking the conversationage-appropriate. Forinstance, she recommendsteaching toddlers anatomi-cally correct words and thedifference between appro-priate and inappropriatetouching.
Modeling positive behav-ior is big, too. Hutchesonsaid that even when olderfamily members rough-house with youngsters— forinstance, wrestling on theliving room floor — thoseadults in on the fun shouldstop immediately when akid says, “no” or “stop.”
While that kid might wellbe having a good time andnot want the play to end,this will key them into theidea that “no means no” andthat it is not OK to continuewhen someone has askedyou to stop.
For older children whospend time online or onsocial media, the task canbe more difficult. Hutchesonreferenced a book publishedrecently titled “AmericanGirls: Social Media and theSecret Lives of Teenagers,”which chronicles theintense pressure teens areunder today to be attractiveand sexually willing. Theauthor, Nancy Jo Sales, wasinterviewed recently onNational Public Radio andHutcheson said she highlyrecommends the book.
“Our girls have constantpressure,” Hutcheson said.“If they do not have a pres-ence on social media and ifthat presence is not some-what sexualized, then theyare invisible. They areprude. They are not normal.They are shunned. They arebullied.”
Hutcheson said parentsneed to create open chan-nels of communication withtheir kids and approach the
topics of sex, sexuality andpornography with confi-dence. Kids will pick up onparents’ discomfort, shesaid, and won’t be as recep-tive to the information ifthey sense their parents arenot at ease.
Parents also need to rein-force their kids’ self-worth.
“Our girls have to hearover and over and overagain that they are not whatthey look like, that theirvalue and their worth is nothow hot they are and it’s notrelated to how availablethey are for sex,” she said.
Hutcheson recommendslimiting access to theInternet by collecting kids’cellphones at night or byusing tools that block cer-tain websites.
These ideas weren’t neces-sarily new to pastor ScottLee, pastor at BethesdaWorship Center, but theyprovided a good refresher.With three sons who like toplay video games — anothertopic Hutcheson touched onfor its tendency to normal-ize violence — he wanted toget some fresh ideas on howto address the issue.
“I also recognize theaccessibility of porn andthe reality of its destruc-tiveness in the lives of any-body, no matter what age,”he said.
Lee plans to shareHutcheson’s recommenda-tions about Internet restric-tions with his congregation,including a policy that teenscannot surf the Internet
from their room unless thedoor is open.
Hutcheson, an EvangelicalChristian, said her faithplays a big role in her work.While she sometimes has tofight a tension many seebetween her career in men-tal health and her faith,Hutcheson said her messageapplies to all parents andyouth, regardless of reli-gious affiliation.
However, anyone interest-ed in attending Hutcheson’sMonday evening talk shouldnote that not all aspects ofthe talk will resonate withall audiences.
“When we teach our kidsabout sex it has to be in adevelopmentally appropri-ate way,” Hutcheson said atone point during the night.“You’re not going to talkabout homosexuality, you’renot going to talk aboutgraphic sex acts to a 4- and5-year-old. You’re going tointroduce healthy topicsthat are presented in bookslike this,” she said, referenc-ing a recommended book.
Hutcheson, who is beinghosted by her friend, StacySweeney, will give anothertalk about violence in gam-ing and porn on Mondaynight at Sheridan JuniorHigh School at 7 p.m. Thechild psychologist and adop-tion advocate also plans tomeet with local law enforce-ment, school counselors,pastors and employees ofthe Department of FamilyServices while she’s intown, according to Sweeney.

SHERIDAN — Sheridan stands toreceive about half of what it usuallyreceives in state supplemental fund-ing for the 2016–2018 biennium, butSheridan Mayor John Heath said it’snot all doom and gloom.
“I want to emphasize that we’renot in dire straits,” Heath said.“We’re in good shape, but we have tobe cautious.”
In previous bienniums Sheridanhas received about $2 million peryear in supplemental funding. Thisyear, however, it will receive $1 mil-lion.
Heath emphasized that the fundingdoes not cover operating costs, butcapital construction projects andother infrastructure improvements.
He added that the city’s infrastruc-ture including roads, sewer andwater will still be maintained. Someprojects will just have to be pushedback a few years until better times,Heath said.
As for Sheridan residents who arelosing their jobs due to cutbacks inthe energy and supporting indus-tries, Sheridan will not forget aboutthem, Heath said.
“We need to make sure we takecare of those who have been laidoff,” Heath said, adding that this can
be done by educating people out ofwork from the energy industry andby helping them find another line ofwork.
“We need to diversify oureconomies and think outside thebox,” Heath said.
Heath said the 2016 budget sessionof the Wyoming Legislature was oneof the most challenging he has everseen.
Heath is expected to address waysto cut back on spending during hisState of the City address Monday.
He emphasized Wyoming andSheridan’s resilience during difficulttimes.
“We will weather this,” he said.

FLINT, Mich. (AP) —Hillary Clinton and BernieSanders tangled aggressivelyon economic issues in aDemocratic presidentialdebate over trade, Wall Streetinfluence and more.
Clinton accused him ofturning his back on the autoindustry and Sanders coun-tered in the Sunday nightdebate that Clinton's friendson Wall Street had “destroyedthis economy.”
It was a marked change intone for the two Democrats,signaling Sanders' increasing-ly difficult effort to slow themomentum of the party'sfront-runner. Both candidatesfrequently interrupted oneanother and accused eachother of misrepresentingtheir records.
“Let's have some factsinstead of some rhetoric for achange,” Clinton snapped atSanders at one point.
“Let me tell my story, youtell yours,” Sanders shot backat another. “Your story is vot-ing for every disastrous tradeamendment and voting forcorporate America.”
More than once, Sanderschafed at Clinton's interrup-tions, saying, "Excuse me, I'mtalking" or “Let me finish,please.”
Their disagreements wereclear, but still the debate'stone was nothing like that ofthe Republican debate inDetroit just three days earlier,a four-way faceoff that wasmarked by a steady stream ofpersonal attacks, insults andeven sexual innuendo. TheDemocrats' faceoff, in com-parison, was a more civil, if
heated, affair.Clinton said that while she
and Sanders have their differ-ences on policy, “compare thesubstance of this debate withwhat you saw on theRepublican stage last week.”
Sanders chimed in, “We are,if elected president, going toinvest a lot of money intomental health and when youwatch these Republicandebates you know why.”
Both had a good laugh atthat.
Each made a case for beingthe best candidate to defeatGOP front-runner DonaldTrump in a Novembermatchup.
Clinton said she's gottenmore votes than Trump in theprimaries, and predicted thathis “bigotry, his bullying, hisbluster are not going to wearwell on the American people.”
Sanders declared: “I wouldlove to run against DonaldTrump,” adding that pollsshow “Sanders vs. Trumpdoes a lot better than Clintonvs. Trump.”
Sanders, who argued withconsiderably more edge thanin past debates, pounced earlywhen Clinton spoke about aneed to keep jobs from shift-ing overseas.
“I am very glad thatSecretary Clinton has discov-ered religion on this issue,”he said, then went on to criti-cize her past support fortrade deals that he main-tained had “disastrous” con-sequences.
Clinton, too, took the offen-sive early on but more oftenfound herself fending offSanders' criticism.
In her most pointed thrust,she said Sanders had votedagainst a 2009 bailout of car-makers, adding, “I went withthem. You did not. If every-body had voted the way hedid, I believe the auto indus-try would have collapsed, tak-ing 4 million jobs with it.”
Sanders countered that themoney for the auto industrywas part of a larger bailoutpackage for Wall Street,adding, “I will be damned ifit was the working people ofthis country who have to bailout the crooks on WallStreet.” He referred to theoverall package as “the WallStreet bailout where some ofyour friends destroyed thiseconomy.”
Ultimately, PresidentGeorge W. Bush and TreasurySecretary Hank Paulsonagreed to provide $23.4 billionfor the auto industry from thefederal bailout money for thefinancial sector.

HEAT: Cuts aheadFROM 1
Ultimately, marking their first-everexpenditures from the fund, they agreedto spend about $220 million outright,including $105 million for local govern-ments, $80 million for schools and $36million to support general governmentoperations.
The Legislature also put the rainy dayfund on the hook to guarantee another$150 million in building constructioncosts if other expected revenues don'tcome through.
Most state agencies will see a 1.5-per-cent budget cut over the two-year fundingcycle that begins in July. The state healthdepartment is immune from the cuts.
Even so, lawmakers still don't have aplan for how to fund school constructionin the years ahead. State fiscal analystsrecently predicted that federal coal leasebonus payments would drop from the$740 million the state received in the2013-14 funding cycle down to just $26million in 2019-2020.
“We haven't found the solution,” Meadsaid in an interview Friday. Findingmoney to build schools will be the tough-est issue Wyoming needs to address inthe coming year or so, he said.
Sen. Michael Von Flatern, chair of theSenate Minerals, Business and EconomicDevelopment Committee, noted federalcourts recently blocked a plan to cutemissions from coal-fired plants. He saidhe hopes Wyoming can use that breath-ing room to continue work on researchaddressing how to make coal a cleanerfuel.
“We would hope all that would getcleared up in the next couple or threeyears and then we would suddenly haveschool funding,” said Von Flatern, R-Gillette.
Meanwhile, Von Flatern said Gillette isalready feeling the effects of the saggingcoal industry. He said people are movingout of the city and predicted it will seeup to a 20-percent decline in its schoolenrollment this fall.
Ultimately, Von Flatern said, schoolscould lay off workers.
House Minority Floor Leader MaryThrone, D-Cheyenne, and otherDemocratic lawmakers voted against thegeneral budget bill. But Democrats holdonly 13 of 90 seats in the Legislature.
“Maybe we did start the discussionabout how we get through this rockypatch,” Throne said of the legislative ses-sion. “I just don't feel like we have a realconcrete plan moving forward. The mainfocus seems to be on cutting govern-ment.”
Throne and other Democrats were dis-appointed the Republican majority againrejected federal funds to expandMedicaid. The state health departmentprojects that offering subsidized healthinsurance under the federal AffordableCare Act to some 20,000 low-incomeadults would save the state over $30 mil-lion by reducing demand on other stateprograms.
Mead has pushed unsuccessfully forMedicaid expansion in recent years andcalled this year's rejection a missedopportunity.
Many Republican lawmakers said theyopposed expansion because they don'ttrust federal promises to continue fund-ing and don't want to subsidize able-bod-ied adults.
Rep. Steve Harshman, R-Casper, ischairman of the House AppropriationsCommittee and a chief architect of thestate budget.
“In the end, I think we tried a balancedapproach of spending some of our sav-ings, reducing where we could, and stilltrying to keep some of these importantthings moving forward in the state,”Harshman said Friday. “And it's going tobe a balancing act heading into thefuture as we have challenges to our min-eral revenues.”

Mushers set off from Alaska town as Iditarod race begins WILLOW, Alaska (AP) — Eighty-five
mushers set off Sunday to conquerthe toughest terrain this nation has tooffer, vying to become the first toreach Alaska's western coast withtheir dog teams.
Scott Janssen, an undertaker fromAnchorage who is known as theMushing Mortician, was the first toleave across Willow Lake in the stag-gered started to the Iditarod TrailSled Dog Race.
Dallas Seavey was only wearing along-sleeved shirt as he packed hissled under blue skies and warm tem-peratures. He said it felt just likeanother day for him and his dogs,doing their thing.
That could be bad news for the fieldas Seavey has won three out of thelast four races.
“If we have a good race, we shouldhave a good finish. If we can maxi-mize this team, we'll get there fast,”he said of the dash for the finish lineunder the burled arch in Nome. Thewinner is expected in about nine daysafter traveling over two mountainranges, the Yukon River and battlingthe fierce winds along the Bering Seacoast.
He said there are “a lot of reallygood teams, there's a lot of peoplewho could win. There's a lot of peoplethat maybe should win that won't.That's actually why we go run therace, and we'll figure it out in a coupleof weeks,” he said.
Besides Seavey, there are six otherformer champions in the race, includ-ing four-time winner Lance Mackey.
Last year, Mackey struggled to fin-ish the race. The cancer survivor alsohas a condition which affects bloodcirculation in his hands, and he hadproblems caring for his dogs last year.His brother, musher Jason Mackey,helped with dog care so Lance couldfinish the race.
When asked Sunday if his handswere good, Lance Mackey said, “Well,to a degree.”
He has had continued treatment onhis hands, including a surgery lastmonth that took out a nail bed on onefinger. He said the pain level has beenreduced a bit, and he was ready to getthe race started.
“If we don't have a good run thisyear, it's not the dogs' fault. Thisteam, in my opinion, and I know whatkind of dogs it takes, this team has
what it takes. It's up to me now toshow the world, and they deserve it,”he said.
Also in this year's race is two-timechampion Robert Sorlie of Oslo. Heleads a large Norwegian contingencyamong the mushers. But MatsPettersson will tell you there are eightNorwegians in the race, and not nine.
“I feel a little bit lonely,” he saidbecause everyone believes he'sNorwegian, too. “I have to tell everyguy I'm Swedish.”
Adding to the international flair ofthe race is Kim Franklin, a 49-year-old musher from Herts, England.
This is her second race to Nome, butshe's still considered a rookie afterbeing withdrawn at the Rohn check-point in 2008. She had to qualify forthe Iditarod last winter.
“It sounds like it's going to be ahard, fast trail and it's going to be arough start to the race, I think,” shesaid, adding her goal is to keep every-thing under control.
“I just want to run a slow, steady,safe race,” Franklin said.
The winner is expected in the oldGold Rush town of Nome in aboutnine days.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The tip of the spear may be los-ing its edge.
Navy SEAL teams don't have enough combat rifles to goaround, even as these highly trained forces are relied onmore than ever to carry out counterterrorism operationsand other secretive missions, according to SEALs whohave confided in Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif.
After SEALs return from a deployment, their rifles aregiven to other commandos who are shipping out, saidHunter, a former Marine who served three combat tours inIraq and Afghanistan. This weapons carousel undercutsthe “train like you fight” ethos of the U.S. special opera-tions forces, they said.
Hunter said he's been contacted by several SEALs, but hedeclined to provide further information about the weaponsthey use in order to protect their identities.
U.S. military officials said they were looking into theissue.
Sharing rifles may seem inconsequential. It's not. Theweapons, which are outfitted with telescopic targetingsights and laser pointers, are fine-tuned to individual spec-ifications and become intensely personal pieces of gear.
“They want their rifles,” Hunter said. “It's their lifeline.So let them keep their guns until they're assigned desk jobsat the Pentagon.”
The problem isn't a lack of money, according to Hunter.Congress has frequently boosted the budgets of specialoperations forces in the years since the 9/11 attacks, hesaid. Rifles also are among the least expensive items themilitary buys, leading Hunter to question the priorities ofNaval Special Warfare Command, the Coronado,California, organization that oversees the SEALs.
“There is so much wasteful spending,” he said. “Moneyis not reaching the people it needs to reach.”
Combat rifles can cost up to several thousand dollarsdepending upon the type of weapon and quality of thesights and other attachments.
Navy SEALs tell congressman there is a
combat rifle shortage

Defensively, the Lady Broncs held Gilletteto just 11 points in the third quarter, mak-ing room for Ryan and the offense to takeover and claw their way back. Sheridan cut
it to single digits at the end of the quarter.The bulk of the comeback came in the
fourth quarter, as the Lady Broncs pouredon 20 points. The hole was just a hair toodeep, though, and Sheridan fell just shortagainst its rival to finish second in the con-ference.
Kaycen Townsend added 13 points and 10rebounds for Sheridan. Riley Raffertyscored 8 points, and McKenna Balkenbushhad 7.

Peyton Manning calling it a career after 18 NFL seasonsENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Peyton
Manning’s days of decoding defenses andrecuperating in cold tubs are over.
The five-time MVP is retiring after 18NFL seasons, dozens of passing records,five MVP trophies and two Super Bowlchampionships.
A month after basking in the glow of hissecond Lombardi Trophy and a paradethrough downtown Denver attended bymore than a million fans, the soon-to-be 40-year-old quarterback called one last audibleand told Broncos boss John Elway he’sretiring.
The tributes came pouring in when wordgot out Sunday that Manning was calling ita career.
Tom Brady tweeted his congratulations toManning, telling his rival, “You changedthe game forever and made everyonearound you better.”
Could there be a higher compliment?Manning’s college coach, Phillip Fulmer,
called it “almost magical” what Manningwas able to accomplish in his four years inDenver following neck fusion surgery thatthreatened to short-circuit his career.
Instead, Manning went 50-15 in Denver,winning his fifth MVP award, surpassingBrett Favre’s records for career yards,touchdowns and victories while leading theBroncos to two Super Bowls.
“I’ve said this a lot of times to people, hedidn’t get better each game. He got better
every meeting, every practice, every periodin practice,” Fulmer said. “He was the mostincredible player that I’ve ever seen of tak-ing it from the film room to the practicefield and then from the practice field to thegame.”
The knock on Manning was that he didn’twin more Super Bowls. For a guy with sucha great regular season record (186-79), hisplayoff mark of just 14-13 paled in compari-son.
“People don’t realize, it’s hard to alwaysbe the best player,” Fulmer argued. “Foralmost all his years, he had to be the bestplayer. At Indianapolis, he never had a greatdefense around him. In my opinion, if hehad been on teams like this last Broncosteam — a team not even as good on defense— the guy might have six or seven SuperBowls.”
Commissioner Roger Goodell calledManning “a great representative of theNFL both on the field and in his communi-ty,” adding, “We are forever grateful forPeyton’s unmatched contributions to thegame and know his success will continue inthe next phase of his life.”
No one’s sure what that will be.Less than 24 hours before informing the
Broncos of his decision to retire, Manningsaid during an appearance Friday night inFlorida that he had no idea what he’ll do inretirement.
There are plenty of possibilities — and
advice — to stay in football, from the broad-cast booth to the front office.
Some believe he’ll eventually be an NFLowner. ESPN, FOX, NBC and CBS all saidthey would love to talk to him if he decidesto go into broadcasting.
Just shy of 40, Manning will forgo $19 mil-lion and a 19th season in the NFL, where heserved as both a throwback and a trans-former during a glittering career book-marked by an unprecedented five MVPawards and dozens of passing records.
“Peyton was a player that guys wanted toplay with,” Elway said. “That made us bet-ter as a team and I’m thrilled that we wereable to win a championship in his finalyear.”
The Broncos scheduled a news conferencefor 11 a.m. Monday that was expected to beattended by dozens of current and formerteammates.
Manning leaves the league as its careerpassing leader and winningest startingquarterback, the only one in NFL history towin Super Bowls with two franchises.
His first came in 2007 with theIndianapolis Colts, who drafted him No. 1overall in 1998. The Colts gave up on himafter a series of neck surgeries forcedManning to miss all of the 2011 season andleft him without feeling in the fingertips ofhis right hand.

Rams drop 3rd-place game to GreybullBY MIKE PRUDEN
BIG HORN — The Big Horn HighSchool boys basketball team set out towin two games at the 2A state tourna-ment over the weekend, but they justdidn’t have enough gas left in the tankto finish it out in a tough 45-37 loss toGreybull in Saturday’s third-placegame.
Big Horn head coach Ryan Alley was-n’t concerned with his team’s physicalstamina. They’d spent all season condi-tioning for a state championship run.Mentally, though, the Rams were testedin a gauntlet of games to closeout theseason.
Big Horn closed out the 2015-16 seasonwith four straight games against teamsthat finished in the top six in 2A, includ-ing state champion Pine Bluffs and staterunner-up Wind River.
“It was just the grind of the state tour-nament,” Alley said before speaking onSaturday’s struggles. “After our gamewith Wind River Friday — we’d comeback, they hit a shot; we’d come back,they hit a shot. It was tough.”
As the Rams were forced to work evenharder on defense, the shots juststopped falling.
In Saturday’s loss, Big Horn hit just 12of 42 (29 percent) from the field and 5 of22 (23 percent) from 3. The Rams neverled and found themselves in an early 11-6 hole after the first quarter.
But as they did Friday, the Rams neverlet it get out of hand. Big Hornoutscored Greybull 12-9 in the secondquarter to trail by just 2 at halftime. Thedeficit was 3 after three quarters of play.
The young Big Horn squad just could-
n’t get over the hump as Greybull pulledaway in the closing minutes of thegame.
“It was the same story for the last fouror five games,” Alley said. “Shootingwise, we couldn’t get anything going.Our kids battled. We just couldn’t get itdone.”
Despite not being able to reach thatgoal of winning two games at the statetournament, a lot of positives came outof the season for the Big Horn Rams.
After losing five of eight games toopen the season, the Rams rattled off 14straight wins to close out the regularseason. They added two more wins toopen the regional tournament beforelosing to eventual conference and statechampion Pine Bluffs in the regionalchampionship.
Big Horn finished the season a perfect8-0 in the conference and 20-8 overall.The Rams are losing just one senior —Max Lube — from this year’s fourth-place team, so Alley said there is a lot tobuild upon.
“It’s nice to return so many guys,”Alley said. “Max is a big loss for us; he’sbeen a great leader for us. But hopefullythe guys coming back keep this feelingof losing in the state tournament anddon’t take it for granted that we’re goingto be back there next year.”

RETIREMENT: Super Bowl victory made Manning only 200-win QB in NFL history FROM B1
A rare superstar quarterback on the openmarket in 2012, Manning resettled inDenver, where he threw 140 of his NFL-high 539 TD passes, including a record 55 in2013.
“I get asked a lot about my legacy,”Manning said before the Super Bowl. “Forme, it’s being a good teammate, having therespect of my teammates, having therespect of the coaches and players. That’simportant to me. I am not taking this forgranted. I just love football.”
The 18th season for No. 18 was by far hismost trying on the field. He had to adjust tonew coach Gary Kubiak’s run-based offenseand to unrelenting health issues on his wayto winning his second Super Bowl. Off thefield, he faced questions about his charac-
ter, too.Manning, whose dry wit and star power
has made him a staple of commercials andlate-night television for nearly two decades,had his squeaky-clean image take a beatingas the final pages were flipped on his sto-ried career.
The NFL is investigating allegations thathuman growth hormone was shipped to hishome in his wife’s name following an AlJazeera report — Manning dismissed thestory as “garbage.” And in a new lawsuitfiled last month claiming a hostile workenvironment for women at the Universityof Tennessee, Manning was cited for hisalleged harassment of a female trainer in1996.
A torn ligament in his left foot hamperedManning all the way back to August.
It led to his worst statistical season and
sidelined him for six weeks before thatfairy tale finish in Santa Clara, California,when his defense carried him across thefinish line.
Constantly harassed, never quite comfort-able — sort of the way the whole seasonplayed out — Manning walked away withhis second NFL title after Denver’s defense,with seven sacks and four takeaways, allbut handed him the Lombardi Trophy in a24-10 victory over the Carolina Panthers.
“He had to do several things different thisyear,” said his dad, Archie, a former starquarterback himself. “Had to take off dur-ing the season, which he’d never donebefore. He ran the scout team, which I don’tthink he’d ever done, and he dressed out asa backup, which he’d never done.”
Manning also had to play the role ofgame manager for the first time during
Denver’s defense-fueled run to the title.“I’m just glad I was on the same team asour defense,” he said.
Manning’s retirement leaves the Broncoswith $19 million in salary cap relief theycan use to try to sign his long-time backup,Brock Osweiler, who’s set to become a freeagent Wednesday.
Manning finished in a tie with Favre formost regular-season wins with 186. His vic-tory in Super Bowl 50 was his 14th in thepostseason, one more than Favre, makinghim the NFL’s only 200-win quarterback.
“There’s no question that his work ethicis what made him into one of the greatquarterbacks of all time,” Elway said. “Allthe film study Peyton did and the processthat he went through with game planningand understanding what the other teamsdid was second to none.”
TRACK: Outdoor track andfield season begins Monday

McKenzie Greenelsh had arough day in the 55-meterhurdles, but still took eighthplace in the event. After quali-fying second Friday, a coupleof faults cost her Saturday asshe finished in 17.90 seconds.

Diaz beats McGregor, Tate takes title from Holm at UFC 196LAS VEGAS (AP) — With a pair
of rear naked chokes that fin-ished two celebrated champions,Nate Diaz and Miesha Tate bothaccomplished the improbable in apair of sport-shaking victories atUFC 196.
Diaz forced Conor McGregor totap out with 48 seconds left in thesecond round Saturday night,ending the Irish superstar’s 15-fight winning streak in a non-titlebout.
Tate won the UFC ban-tamweight title at the MGMGrand Garden Arena, lockingHolly Holm in a choke that ren-dered the champ apparentlyunconscious with 90 seconds leftin the fifth round.
The dual upsets stunned a sell-out crowd and one of the biggestpay-per-view audiences in the his-tory of mixed martial arts.
They also threw two potentialwrenches into the UFC’s plans for
the upcoming year: McGregorwas widely expected to fight inthe main event at UFC 200 in July,while Holm’s next fight was sup-posed to be her rematch withRonda Rousey, whose title reignended with Holm’s knockout winin November. Diaz and Tate hadplans of their own.
“After 16 years in this business,the one thing you don’t ever do isthink you know what’s going tohappen,” thrilled UFC PresidentDana White said. “Because youdon’t.”
Diaz (20-10) was battered andbloodied for the first 1 1/2 roundsby McGregor (19-3), the UFC 145-pound featherweight champ andpay-per-view star fighting at 170pounds on short notice.
Diaz, who took the fight lessthan two weeks ago, abruptlychanged the bout with an electricseries of punches that wobbledthe previously unshakable
McGregor. When McGregor trieda takedown, Diaz quickly forcedhim to tap out on the ground.
“I knew I was the superiorboxer, with superior kickboxing,with superior jiu-jitsu,” said Diaz,who had lost five of his previous10 fights. “Nothing surprised meexcept for that I got hit at all. Ithink with a full camp, I wouldhave been flawless.”
Earlier, Tate (18-5) became thethird 135-pound champion in UFChistory by beating Holm (10-1),the woman who knocked outRousey in November. Holmappeared to be out cold when Tatefinally released her from thechoke to celebrate.
“Not many people wouldn’t tapout,” Tate said. “She went out likea champion. ... She’s tougher thannails. She really pulled the mostout of me and made me a betterfighter tonight.”
The main event was the greatest
moment in the career of Diaz, apugnacious veteran from a notori-ous fighting family in Stockton,California. Diaz had lost three ofhis past five fights, but his sizeand power abruptly finishedMcGregor, who had boasted of hisplans to hold championships inmultiple weight classes.
The loss was McGregor’s firstsince November 2010, and it put ablemish on the loquacious Irishface of the UFC and the best-paidfighter in this rapidly growingsport. McGregor was somber butreflective at the post-fight newsconference, which often isn’tattended by losing fighters. Hethinks his next bout will be afeatherweight title defense, but hevowed to return to higher weightclasses.
“I will never shy away fromdefeat,” McGregor said. “This ispart of the game. I had manychances to not do this and sit and
wait, but I went in. I took the fightand it didn’t pay off. This is thefight business. It’s another day. Iwill come back.”
McGregor agreed to fight Diazat the welterweight limit when155-pound lightweight championRafael Dos Anjos dropped out ofhis matchup with McGregor dueto a foot injury. McGregor set anew UFC record with his $1 mil-lion disclosed purse for this fight,and he predicted a comfortablewin over Diaz, comparing the vet-eran to a gazelle about to be eatenby a lion.
Instead, McGregor got bit.“(McGregor) punches hard,”
Diaz said. “He’s a hard-hitting lit-tle guy, but nothing I never feltbefore.”
The penultimate fight at UFC196 was a thrilling clash of styles,and Tate fought until the waningminutes before finally using hersuperior ground game to win.

When the Rolling Stonessang "Mother's Little Helper,"they were talking about adrug called Miltown that wasmarketed aggressively tostressed-out women: "If youtake more of those, you willget an overdose/no more run-ning for the shelter of moth-er's little helper." It became
available in 1954, and by 1956,36 million prescriptions hadbeen written for it.
Then came the next genera-tion of anti-anxiety meds.Librium, in the 1960s, becamethe first billion-dollar drug;next came benzos, or benzodi-azepines, such as Xanax,Valium and Klonopin. By2008 more than 112 millionprescriptions were writtenfor benzos annually.According to a study inJAMA Psychiatry, about 1 in20 adults ages 18-80 had a pre-scription that year.
The popularity of benzosprescriptions has ushered inan increase in the number ofbenzo-related overdoses. In2013, they accounted for 31percent of deaths from pre-scription-drug overdoses inthe U.S. According to the leadauthor of a study in theAmerican Journal of PublicHealth, "overdoses involving
benzodiazepines ... haveincreased more than five-foldsince 1996 -- a public-healthproblem that has gone underthe radar."
That's why we want to alertfolks who are taking benzos(with or without a legit pre-scription) that they can bedangerous. Addicted or habit-uated?

DEAR ABBY: My husbandof 12 years and I have fewcommon interests. I amearthy, nature-loving, people-loving and crave a rurallifestyle. He's an introvert,loves everything Western,enjoys his downtime andwatches a lot of television.He dislikes animals and is asports fanatic.
I don't criticize his inter-ests. I allow him his hobbies.
My problem is, our dreams ofthe future can't be combined.My off-the-grid homesteadand his 70-inch TV don'texactly fit.
It's depressing that we don'tappreciate each other's inter-ests, and doing all of our hob-bies separately is lonely. Howcan I experience my dreamswhen they are not my hus-band's dreams? -- HIPPIEJANE IN PROVO, UTAH
DEAR HIPPIE JANE: Trydoing that by rememberingwhat you had in commonwith your husband 13 yearsago. Is the core of your rela-tionship still a good one?Couples don't have to bejoined at the hip 24/7. Can'teach of you enjoy your hob-bies and interests separately?Many couples do.
However, if the answer isthat you have grown increas-ingly apart in the last 12years, the only way you caneach experience your dreams
may be to do it alone or withother like-minded people.
DEAR ABBY: I am deathlyafraid of snakes! My daugh-ter, who lives in Canada,recently informed me thatthey had acquired onethrough a teacher at mygrandsons' school. Of course,the three boys are thrilled.
My problem is, we aregoing to visit my daughterand her family in a fewweeks. I am terrified to thepoint of losing sleep andbreaking down crying justthinking about it. Whatshould I do? I want to see myfamily, but there is no housebig enough for me AND asnake. Please help. --TERRI-FIED IN CYPRESS, TEXAS
DEAR TERRIFIED: If youwere planning to stay at yourdaughter's, scale back yourplans and reserve a room at anearby hotel or motel. Thiswill give you eight or 10hours a day nowhere near thereptile. If your daughter isunaware of your phobia, puther on notice that the snakeis to be confined to its cagein a room with a firmlyclosed door while you are inthe house -- and further, youdo not wish to make itsacquaintance.
Talk to your doctor beforeyou go and ask for enoughanti-anxiety medication tocalm your nerves while youare there. Then go and have agood time.
DEAR ABBY: We took mywealthy daughter, husbandand their four children todinner at a very nice restau-rant. We insisted on paying.In fact, we even restrictedwhat we ordered so theycould each have an expensivedish that they only picked at.
When it was over and itwas obvious that theyweren't taking home any left-overs, I started to motion toour waitress to ask for take-home boxes so my wife and Icould take all of their uneat-en food. My wife shot me the"don't you dare!" look, so allof it wound up in a dumpster.Needless to say, it became anissue. Was I wrong to want totake home their uneatenmeals? -- PEEVED IN PENN-SYLVANIA
DEAR PEEVED: Not as faras I'm concerned. Becauseyour daughter and her fami-ly didn't like what theyordered -- and you were foot-ing the bill -- there was nobreach of etiquette in askingfor a box for the leftovers.

BIRTHDAY GUY: ActorJames Van Der Beek wasborn in Cheshire, Conn.,today in 1977. This birthdayguy starred in the title roleof "Dawson's Creek" from1998-2003. He's played ElijahMundo on "CSI: Cyber"since 2015 and he portrayedhimself on "Don't Trust theB---- in Apartment 23." He'salso appeared on episodes of"Friends with Better Lives,""Law & Order: SVU," and"Franklin & Bash." His filmwork includes "Labor Day,""The Big Bang," and "Var-sity Blues."
ARIES (March 21-April19): Stand up for yourselfwithout upsetting the apple-cart. You must search forthe right words or actionsto use to avoid giving of-fense. Those close to youmay have good ideas thatshould be reconsidered at a
later time.TAURUS (April 20-May
20): You will find out whichpeople are your real friends.Look to friends for help insolving a problem thatseems overwhelming. Anobjective view will resolvethe issue more easily. Shareyour thoughts and feelings.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):"Never forget what is worthremembering or rememberwhat is best forgotten," onewell known old proverbstates. Dwelling on the pastcan be highly useful or justplain depressing. It is up toyou to pick and choose.
CANCER (June 21-July22): Take it easy and waituntil conditions improve.Getting organized might bemore difficult than antici-pated. It is possible that noteveryone shares your em-phasis on exactness and
quick take-charge executivedecisions.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):Your charm can hit a sournote if you are too quick tosing your own praises.Don't let a partner squanderhard earned gains or fritteraway cash. Focus on sup-porting your friends or par-ticipate in charitableactivities.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):Listen and learn. Livingvicariously through othersmay be like watching some-one eat strawberry icecream. You have the pleas-ure without the guilt, butderive no real satisfaction.Learn to sort the truth fromfalsehoods.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):The best offense is a gooddefense. Be prepared to de-fend your views. Attempt toresolve tense situations
with tact rather than argu-ments. A family disputecould block you from mak-ing headway elsewhere.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.21): Mysteries occupy yourmind. If you let your imagi-nation loose or are busydelving into secrets there isa chance that you will letdown someone who iscounting on you to do some-thing else. Don't get side-tracked.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The trip uphill on aroller coaster ride is slow,but the downhill ride is ex-hilarating. Don't get caughtin the trap of mistaking adownturn for success. Thisis a poor time to take actionor to rush into decisions.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.19): Reorganize the way youthink about things and pos-sessions. If you have been
hurt, reassess the circum-stances of the situation. Re-process your habits byadopting a fresh perspec-tive, and focus on full for-giveness.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18): Don't underestimate theimportance of the chase orthe thrill of being a littlehard-to-get. At the sametime, this isn't a good timeto be too reserved or too ag-gressive. You risk offendingsomeone in the businessworld.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March20): Someone close is anx-ious to please. Strike an ad-vantageous bargain in thebusiness arena as well as inlove, by voicing your com-mitment, not your con-cerns. A special someone'sheart pounds when you arenear.
IF MARCH 8 IS YOUR
BIRTHDAY: Get a grip onessential issues as the nexttwo to three weeks unfold.This is a good time to makewise decisions or to re-eval-uate the direction of yourlife while your judgment isat its best. A lucky breakcould open up a more com-fortable lifestyle if you willaccept whatever chanceplaces in front of you. Julymay also prove lucky ashelpful opportunities mayappear. If you have faith inyourself big improvementsin your life are possible. Au-gust is a good time for a va-cation as your ability torelax and immerse yourselfin passing fantasies is at apeak.

SHOW YOURTWO-SUITERIN COMPETI-TION
This is oursecond weekstudying the
bidding of two-suited hands.Look only at the Southhand. With your side vul-nerable, you open one heart,West passes, North raises totwo hearts, and East inter-venes with three diamonds.What would you do now?
As I mentioned last week,when the opponents are outof the bidding, and you hit afit with your partner, keepyour second suit hidden.But when they enter theauction, the dynamicchanges. With this Southhand, if you jump to fourhearts and everyone passes,fine; but what if West goesto five diamonds? Whatwould you do then?
The answer is that youwould have no idea. It couldbe right to double their sac-rifice or to bid on to fivehearts. However, your part-ner will know what to do ifyou describe your hand tohim.
When you have a two-suiter, you find a fit in yourfirst suit, and the opponentsenter the auction, bend overbackward to show your sec-ond suit. Here, bid threespades. Then let partnerjudge what to doover five dia-monds.
In this dealfrom a tourna-ment in Orlando,Florida, Northhad an easy five-heart bid. He hadtwo magic cardswith four-cardheart support,and he knewSouth was veryshort in dia-monds. But ifNorth had had(nearly) all of hisstuff in the mi-nors, he wouldhave doubled fivediamonds.
Note thatfive diamondsdoubled wouldhave been downonly 500, and fivehearts made eas-ily.
One last point: If you jumpto four hearts over three di-amonds, you assume cap-taincy; you are tellingpartner that you know whatto do if they bid five dia-monds.-
Hints from Heloise Heloise
Dear Read-ers: Today'sSOUND OFF isabout how thephone is an-swered at somebusinesses:
"People who work at busi-nesses should clearly iden-tify themselves and thebusiness or service wherethey work. When I worked, Iresponded with: 'Hello, thisis (my first name and thename of the business).'
"With so many peopleusing cellphones, because ofdigital technology, often thefirst syllable spoken is lostin transmission. If someoneanswers with a short name,it is unintelligible if theydon't use that old reliableword 'Hello' first.
"I read your column in theHouston Chronicle on mytablet, even though I live farfrom Houston now." -- EricZ., Alpine, Texas
Eric, you are right. It onlytakes a few seconds to say"Hello, Eric Z. here, EZCCompany." -- HELOISEHERE: Goodbye!
P.S.: Say hi to my friendsin Alpine -- interesting hot-
air ballooning there!TRAVEL HINT -- FEWER
CLOTHESDear Heloise: You had
given a great hint for stor-ing dress scarves aroundpaper-towel tubes.
To enhance that, try wrap-ping numerous scarves youwant to take on a triparound a paper-towel roll.You don't need as manyblouses/tops, since you cantake a plethora of scarves.
Then gently push them in-side a "knee-high" hosiery(with its mate stuffed in thetube) so they don't get dis-turbed in the luggage. --Vicki M., Fredericksburg,Va.
Scarves can change thelook of an outfit in aminute! A white/black/redblouse can look like severaldifferent ones with a scarftied, wrapped or drapedover the blouse. -- Heloise
SHOP AND SAVEMONEY
Dear Heloise: I used towalk the grocery aisles de-ciding my needs for theweek and purchasing itemsI thought I would use thatweek.
I've learned that if I planmeals, make a list of theneeded items and stick tothe plan, I have plenty offood for the week. Also, mybill is ALWAYS between $50and $100 cheaper.
A bonus is that this takesout the guessing game Iplayed trying to figure out"What's for dinner?" -- BeaC., Paradise Valley, Ariz.
SOAKING AN ITCHDear Readers: If you get
an itch or rash after swim-ming or wading in lakes orponds, it's not all in yourhead! It's caused by tiny lit-tle parasites that can be inthe water, usually freshwater. Do rinse off in fresh,clean water, and dry wellwith a towel.
Still itching? Over-the-counter medications for al-lergies will help relieve theitching. Home remedies in-clude one of my faves -- bak-ing soda. The otherold-fashioned one is regularoatmeal (not brown-sugarflavored!), or even Epsomsalts. Soak in a tub ofcool/warm water, with acup or so of any of the aboveadded. -- Heloise

PPublic notices allow citizens to monitor their government and make sure that it isworking in their best interest. Independent newspapers assist in this cause bycarrying out their partnership with the people’s right to know through publicnotices. By offering an independent and archived record of public notices,newspapers foster a more trusting relationship between government and itscitizens.Newspapers have the experience and expertise in publishing public notices andhave done so since the Revolutionary War. Today, they remain an established,trustworthy and neutral source that ably transfers information betweengovernment and the people.Public notices are the lasting record of how the public’s resources are used and arepresented in the most efficient and effective means possible.
