Rollover, motorcycle crashes result in injuries, deathSHERIDAN — Two single-vehi-

cle accidents occurred in Sheridan this week — one fatal and the other resulting in critical injuries.

The first occurred with a single vehicle rollover Tuesday just after 4 p.m. on Beatty Gulch Road at mile marker 0.5. The driver was ejected from the vehicle, and the

Sheridan County Sheriff’s Office is still investigating the cause of the rollover.

The driver was treated at the hospital for sustained injuries.

The second accident involved a single motorcycle Wednesday morning around 7 a.m. on Interstate 90 westbound at mile marker 31.

Wyoming Highway Patrol

responded to the accident and said the motorcycle was headed west, ran off the road to the right and skipped off the guardrail about four times.

The crash is still under investi-gation by WHP as to the official cause of the accident.

The rider, 69-year-old Coy Collins of Grants Pass, Oregon, suffered significant head

trauma despite wearing a helmet.Paramedics responded and pro-

nounced Collins dead at the scene.Troopers learned from Collins’

wife that he had left Sturgis, South Dakota, at 2:30 a.m. Wednesday and was headed west back to Oregon.

Sturgis is currently hosting its 78th annual motorcycle rally, a 10-day event in which hundreds of

thousands of motorcycle enthusi-asts from around the world gather in the city.

An autopsy was conducted Wednesday afternoon to deter-mine if any medical or other conditions contributed to the fatal crash.

Troopers said they are not inves-tigating cellphone usage or intoxi-cation at this time.

DEBATE : Addressing shortage of affordable housing in city a priorityFROM 1

Councilor Alex Lee will not seek re-election, and Kelly Gooch stepped down in June.

Five of the council can-didates are running for the three four-year seats, Victoria Hernandez is running alongside Henderson for the two-year seat. Candidate David Lee announced his resignation from the race Wednesday morning, citing health prob-lems.

Many of the candidates criticized the current coun-cil for not being more recep-tive to public demands and vowed to let public opinion guide their decisions.

All of the candidates, except Henderson, said they would put contentious issues like the continued

fluoridation of the city’s water and whether the city should continue with a city administrator form of gov-ernment to a public vote.

Vixie Miller said she opposed the city adminis-trator form of government, as it makes city leadership unclear.

“Anyone will tell you a two-headed calf is a freak,” Miller said.

Henderson pushed back against the notion that the current council does not lis-ten to the public, noting that councilors move in different circles in the city and hear from different people.

He said repeatedly, how-ever, that he wants to see city council move past issues like the fluoridation of the city’s water and the city administrator and onto issues like affordable hous-

ing, business development and improving infrastruc-ture.

Council candidates were also asked how they would address the shortage of affordable housing in the city.

Miller said she would like to see small developers look-ing at small parcels of land to build affordable hous-ing. She also said it would be important to visit with neighbors near the con-struction of affordable hous-ing options to get them on board and avoid pushback against the projects.

Henderson said there was no silver bullet the city could use to solve afford-able housing and it would have to explore a number of options. He suggested the city could find ways to change zoning codes on some existing land, split-ting some existing lots into smaller lots and looking to infill in some places around the city.

Clint Beaver said the issues with housing costs in Sheridan aren’t caused by tap fees or building permit fees but supply and demand.

Aaron Linden said he would explore ways to cre-ate more economic incen-tives for the construction of affordable housing, expedite processes related to the construction of affordable housing and also said he would push to re-assess zon-ing laws.

Jacob Martin said he would look to decrease taxes and fees associated with housing in order to ensure city residents had more money to spend on rent and housing.

Hernandez proposed attacking the problem from a similar angle, though she

agreed with Henderson that there is not one answer, by arguing minimum wage in the city is too low and limits what residents can spend on housing.

County commissionEleven candidates are run-

ning for three open county commission seats and 10 of those candidates will com-pete for three nominations in the Republican primary later this month.

Because Jay McGinnis is the only candidate running as a Democrat, and will therefore advance to the general election automat-ically, he only delivered opening and closing state-ments Wednesday. During his opening he posed the candidates with a question: If elected, would they be willing to consider reducing the size of the county com-mission from five members to three? He pointed out the move could save the county roughly $100,000 a year.

Sheridan County expand-ed its county commission from three seats to five in 2008.

The only candidate who answered McGinnis’ ques-tion was incumbent com-missioner Terry Cram, who said while the five-member commission has proven effective, maintaining it might be a luxury the coun-ty cannot afford.

Contrasts between the candidates competing for Republican-primary nom-inations emerged over whether the county should continue to impose the Capital Facilities Tax, the Optional One-Cent Sales Tax, and whether the it should adopt a countywide lodging tax. Renewal of the

Optional One-Cent Tax and the creation of the county-wide lodging tax will be put to voters on November’s ballot.

Most of the candidates agreed the revenue generat-ed by the two existing taxes is important for maintain-ing services throughout the county and the loss of that revenue, particular-ly from the one-cent tax, would likely lead to cuts elsewhere in the budget so the county could continue to fund needs like emergency services.

Dennis Fox and Antonio Pickering, however, said they support the continua-tion of the Capital Facilities Tax so long as the county only uses revenue from it to fund large, one-time proj-ects.

Both candidates, however, said they were against the continuation of the Optional One-Cent Sales Tax.

Jason Szewc did not say he opposed the one-cent tax, but said he would like to see the county move away from using one-cent revenues to fund day-to-day operations. In addition, Fox said he did not want to see the county adopt a lodging tax.

The candidates were also asked how they would balance the growth of the county with the desire to preserve agricultural lands and viewsheds.

All of the candidates said establishing guidelines for maintaining that balance through the revision of the county’s Comprehensive Plan, which the current commissioners allocated funding for in the next fis-cal year, would be crucial. Cram, former Clearmont Mayor Chris Schock and Carl Clements said ultimate-

ly the issue would be decid-ed through the county com-mission’s zoning judgments, but the Comprehensive Plan would inform those judg-ments.

In addition to revising the Comprehensive Plan, Christi Haswell said the commission should look at addressing threats to some of the county’s agricultural lands and open spaces, such as noxious weeds.

For a more detailed look at the county commissioner candidates, The Sheridan Press submitted question-naires to all of the them and their responses appeared in the July 28 edition of the paper, which is also avail-able online.

County treasurerThe three candidates run-

ning for county treasurer have all filed as Republicans and the winner of the pri-mary, therefore, will win the office.

Carol Grandahl is current-ly a deputy county treasurer and highlighted her 23 years working in the office.

She said the office is already effective and if she is elected it would provide a smooth transition of leader-ship in the office. In terms of improvements, she said she would increase the level of technology in the office and advocate for more team-work among office employ-ees.

Misti Dunkelberger, who is currently the deputy county clerk, said she would bring 21 years of account-ing and bookkeeping expe-rience to the office and would update the office’s operations through modern accounting practices and new technologies.

The third candidate, Chester Burton, was not in attendance Wednesday night.

Primary elections will be held Aug. 21.

Man charged with harassing

Yellowstone bison to stay in jail

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK (AP) — An Oregon man who was arrested following dis-turbances in three national parks, including one in which a bison was harassed in Yellowstone, will remain jailed until his trial later this month, a judge ruled Wednesday.

The decision came as Raymond Reinke of Pendleton, Oregon, pleaded not guilty to five charges stemming from citations issued in Grand Teton and Yellowstone national parks in late July. Reinke, 55, was arrested Friday in Glacier National Park, where rangers with a warrant said they found him engaged in another disturbance.

U.S. District Judge Mark Carman set Reinke’s trial for Aug. 23, the Bozeman Daily Chronicle reports.

Carman declined to release Reinke on bond, citing his crimi-nal history and his disregard for the conditions of the $500 bond.

RACE : Each candidate relying heavily on experienceFROM 1

County attorneyDianna Bennett, who has

worked with Redle and has been a deputy county attorney in the office for 18 years, has focused her efforts on experience and the difficulty and expertise it takes to build a case.

“What I learned when coming over was that being a defense attorney does nothing to prepare you to be a prosecutor,” Bennett said.

Bennett moved from defense work to prosecution and has since tried 40 trials and litigated two Wyoming Supreme Court cases. She emphasized office man-agement skills and, while learning a lot from Redle, said she has her own ideas, perspectives and opinions.

Jeremy Kisling argued that experience is more about quality over quantity.

Kisling owns Kisling Law LLC and said his more than five years years of experi-ence operating the firm has prepared him for the county attorney position.

“One thing I think is important to recognize is I’m not running to be a pros-ecutor, I’m running to be a county attorney,” Kisling said. “And that takes more than just the ability to (pros-ecute crimes).”

Clerk of district court

Rene Botten and Rachel Livingston Borgialli went head-to-head on stage but had mostly similar outlooks on the position of clerk of district court.

Both candidates believe the office currently runs smoothly with good com-munication among agencies like attorneys, law enforce-ment groups and judges. Livingston Borgialli zeroed her focus on open and con-structive communication, organization and transpar-ency.

Botten said she spent the first half of her life in school, the second raising a family and practicing law and now wants to devote the next segment of her life to public service and giving back to the community.

Both candidates under-stood and encouraged the new jury summoning sys-tem anticipated in 2019. They also agreed that orga-nization is key in working with attorneys, which they both said they excelled at in their positions.

County coronerThe balance of time and

money hung between the two candidates vying for the Sheridan County coroner seat.

The current Sheridan

County coroner worked with a total budget of $169,306.02. Of that, $15,000 was allotted to the elected official’s salary and $56,250 was allocated to contract labor and other purchased services, including 125 calls at $225 per call per deputy coroner — there are cur-rently four on staff. That total was doubled to come up with the 2018-2019 bud-get.

Candidate P.J. Kane, who currently serves as Sheridan County’s coro-ner, emphasized his expe-rience, having worked in his current position since 1985. Kane served as owner and funeral director at Kane Funeral Home until recently, when he stepped down from that position and continued with the coroner position.

Kimberly Kozel, his chal-lenger, emphasized being present for a majority of the calls.

“I want you to know I will suit up, show up and be available to you,” Kozel said. Kozel worked 14 years as a respiratory therapist and has worked as a funeral director and embalmer for 22 years in Sheridan and Washington. While only serving as deputy coroner in Sheridan for a short time as an intern while at school, Kozel spoke of her paired medical and funeral experi-ence as positives toward her election into the position.

“In recent advertise-ments and public venues,

each candidate emphasizes either experience or active involvement being a key aspect of their campaign,” Cody Sinclair, the mediator for the evening said to the candidates. “Why should voters consider one trait more valuable than the other, or should they?”

Kane reiterated the coro-ner’s office requirement to respond to coroner’s calls at any time of the day and on any day of the year. Some calls come in simultaneous-ly, forcing more than one deputy coroner to be ready at all times. Kane advocated for sanity in the position and experience for the depu-ty coroners.

“It’s unrealistic to be on call 365 days,” Kane said. “You wouldn’t have a life. And it’s humanly impossi-ble to be in two places at the same time.”

Kane said the office cur-rently functions with four deputy coroners and has been given the OK from the county to bring on two addi-tional deputies.

“If I was going to all those calls, I’d be taking away money from my dep-uties, taking it out of their pocket,” Kane said. “They wouldn’t get the experience that I would want them to have and pretty soon I wouldn’t have any depu-ties.”

Kozel is focused on action and said while there are a team of deputy coroners and others needed to work on cases, she wants to be some-

one who “actually shows up on the scene.”

The final question exposed a history of tension between the two funeral homes with which the two candidates work or previously worked, Kane Funeral Home and Champion Funeral Home and if the current system of choosing funeral homes is fair.

When Kozel first arrived to Sheridan, she felt the coroner’s office had no business being in a funeral home, but she said since the county does not have funds to have a separate facility, it’s how it has to go in this county.

Her approach would be to establish a rotation system per month or three months to be fair.

“I think right now the funeral home, Kane’s, is perhaps getting more of the calls (for funeral services from coroner autopsies),” Kozel said.

Kane acknowledged the longstanding contention and responded that the cor-oner’s office gives families the choice.

He believes the only way to ensure fairness would be to have two deputy coroners from each funeral home rep-resented.

Experience is a key piece of each candidate’s cam-paign, but where that expe-rience comes from and how it is used separated the two during Wednesday’s forum as they push toward the Aug. 21 primary.

VIA WYOMING NEWS EXCHANGE

CASPER — A federal judge in Wyoming has struck down a state law that bans the use of automated phone calls — commonly known as “robocalls”— by political operatives, capping off more than a year of litigation in federal court.

In a judgment handed down Monday in U.S. District Court in Cheyenne, Judge Alan Johnson ruled that Grand Rapids, Michigan-based polling fi rm Victory Processing LLC was justifi ed by gather-ing information and polling by way of robocalling. Johnson concluded the state’s ban was “over inclu-sive” in that it “completely prohibits political speech through robocalls while allowing commercial speech under certain circumstances.”

The initial complaint, filed in June 2017, argued the ban violated the firm’s right under the First and Fourteenth amendments, arguing “’the First Amendment has its fullest and most urgent applica-tion to speech uttered during a campaign for political office.’”

Monday’s judgement overrules Wyoming Attorney General Peter Michael’s arguments that the repeal of such a law would violate the privacy of the state’s residents, though the court acknowledged that state and federal law does indeed off er accommodations for one’s right to personal privacy.

“The Court recognizes that tranquility, well-being and peacefulness of the home is a substantial inter-est worth protecting,” Johnson wrote in his ruling. “There is simply no right to force speech into the home of an unwilling listener.”

However, he argued, the construction of Wyoming’s law made it so regulations on robocalls were overly restrictive, and as written placed robot-ic political speech at a disadvantage to commercial calls, like commercial sales calls.

Such commercial calls are permitted provided the recipient initiated the call, the number is not on the national do-not-call list or the caller has an estab-lished business relationship with the recipient.

However, political speech is not offered similar concessions and, because the privacy of Wyoming residents is considered a “substantial interest” under the law, rather than a “compelling interest” of the state, restrictions against robotic political speech are unconstitutional, Johnson ruled.

Neither the attorney general or David Dishaw, the owner of Victory Processing and a plaintiff named in both cases, could be reached for comment.

Victory Processing LLC is now one for two in First Amendment challenges to robocall bans this year. In February, a federal district court judge in Montana ruled that the state’s more than two-decade ban on robocalls was constitutional, though enforcement of the law, according to the Billings Gazette, was rarely enforced. In that case, the judge ruled in favor of the Montana Attorney General’s Office’s claims that the repeal of such a law would be a violation of Montana residents’ privacy. Such a ban, that judge concluded, was not in violation of the private company’s First Amendment rights on the grounds calls could still be made if introduced by a human operator: thereby eliminating the argument for a blanket ban on politi-cal speech.

Political adsRe: Front page of The Sheridan Press, Aug. 4

Political special sectionRe: July 28 edition, The Sheridan Press

Kudos to The Sheridan Press for their wonderful issue on “The Vote!” It is after all the month of July, tipping into August, when our mailboxes fill with mailings from political candidates. I am always wary of the mailings wherein a candidate slams their oppo-nents without proposing their own platform.

Is it because they do not have a strong platform and feel the only way to win is to slam their opponent? Or is it because “dark money” is funding the mailings? Be wary of the candidate that claims they have noth-ing to do with the negative mailings. Be wary of the candidate that takes out of context their opponents past statements and do not give a context to the way, and why, their opponents have voted. If a candidate cannot run on the strength of their own platform and ideas, they have nothing to offer.

Again, thanks to The Sheridan Press for giving cit-izens an informed guide to each candidate’s position and giving each candidate a voice. The Press helps us all to be informed citizens not influenced by buzz words and negative campaigns.

Blatant aggressionRe: Attack ads this election

The July 28 edition of The Sheridan Press was the vote issue for the primary election. I appreciate the effort to provide the voters with information about the candidates seeking public office. On page C6 of this issue is the report on Mark Jennings, the cur-rent representative from House District 30, and the challenger Gail Symons. This is Ms. Symons’ second run for this office. What I object to was the attack ad placed and paid for by Symons. The ad was run next to the candidate profile story.

Symons has listed eight bills that Mr. Jennings has voted against. She would have you believe Mr. Jennings supports a lack of uniformity in domestic violence law, is in opposition to child sex abuse pre-vention, favors malicious harm or death to animals, as these bills he voted against.

These bills were voted down by a plurality of the legislators, for numerous reasons not mentioned in the attack ad. By way of comparison, there is a cam-paign ad paid for by Dianna Bennett, who is running for county attorney. Mrs. Bennett did not run an attack ad, instead she addressed her record and qual-ifications for office. In conclusion, the Symons ad told me nothing about her, except her blatant aggression.

Manafort is on trial. So is Trump’s judgment.

Robert S. Mueller III’s prose-cutors have taken pains not to make Paul Manafort’s trial about President Trump.

When prosecutor Greg Andres on Tuesday asked Rick Gates, his star witness and Manafort’s former business partner, where Manafort stayed in New York,

Gates said “he had an apartment on Fifth Avenue.” Neither men-tioned that it was in Trump Tower.

When Andres flashed an exhib-it on the screen that had a line about Manafort’s Yankees tickets “going to Trump next week,”

neither man said the future presi-dent’s name aloud.

And when Andres asked Gates what he did in March 2016, the two men performed some elliptical choreography.

“I went to work on one of the presidential campaigns,” Gates said.

Andres asked if Manafort was “also working on one of the presi-dential campaigns.”

“He was.”Perhaps the jurors thought they

were talking about the George Pataki campaign?

Ultimately, however, there is no getting around it: This is Manafort’s trial, but it reflects on Trump’s style and judgment. Trump has described Manafort as a fleeting figure in his campaign, and it’s true he couldn’t have known the extent of the alleged wrongdoing. Yet the pair’s histo-ry with unsavory characters was well known, and some of the mis-behavior alleged in court occurred during their time working for Trump.

How does this happen? Or, as Manafort wrote upon learning his tax obligation was greater than expected: “WTF?”

Consider: In March 2016, the same month Manafort joined the Trump campaign, first to run the Republican convention and then as campaign chairman and top strategist, Manafort directed Gates to alter their struggling firm’s income, adding $6 million in phantom funds so Manafort

could qualify for a loan, Gates tes-tified Tuesday afternoon.

In October 2016, after Manafort had been booted from the cam-paign but Gates was still on board, Manafort sought Gates’ help in doctoring another profit-and-loss statement, Gates testified. Manafort magically turned a $600,000 loss into a $3 million prof-it, he said.

At the same time, according to emails from Manafort to Gates shown at the trial, Manafort suc-cessfully pushed Gates to use his position with the campaign to add banker Stephen Calk to Trump’s list of economic advisers; Calk’s bank loaned Manafort $16 million between July 2016 and January 2017. Manafort also worked to get his lender inauguration tickets.

The jury will decide whether to convict Manafort or whether to accept his claim that the illegal actions were undertaken by his protege, Gates, without his knowl-edge. Either way, Gates, who has already pleaded guilty, has admit-ted to a vast array of crooked schemes: fake expense accounts, fake invoices, false tax returns, fake loans, fake profit statements, shell companies and accounts in

Cyprus and the Caribbean facili-tated by a Cypriot dubbed “Doctor K.”

Prosecutors are avoiding the most contentious issue between Trump and Mueller. Under instructions from Judge T.S. Ellis III — who routinely (and some-times unfairly) reprimands the prosecutors — there is to be no discussion of Russia.

Yet the trial highlights anoth-er case of Trump’s lax vetting of his aides. Manafort and Gates had been questioned by the FBI in 2014, but they likely wouldn’t be where they are today if they hadn’t joined Trump’s campaign. In that sense, they are like others in Trump’s circle — Donald Jr., Jared Kushner, Michael Flynn, Scott Pruitt, Michael Cohen — who have had trouble withstand-ing the scrutiny that has come with Trump’s rise. Presiding over it all is Trump, who boasts of his immunity to conflicts of interest and refuses to release his tax returns.

Watching Manafort in court Tuesday — surrounded by beefy lawyers who could double as bodyguards — I wondered: What attracts people like Manafort to

Trump? And what attracts Trump to people like Manafort?

Perhaps it was the way Manafort threw money around: the $15,000 ostrich coat, the $1 million spent at Alan Couture, the $300,000 at House of Bijan, the seven homes, the $1 million in Oriental rugs.

Or perhaps Trump sensed the gambler in Manafort.

Manafort and Gates had been elaborate with their shell com-panies and, when their income dried up because their patron in Ukraine was ousted as president, they allegedly employed ever more desperate schemes to hold off col-lapse.

Then, even as they faked legal documents, according to Gates’ testimony, they signed on with the Trump campaign — a move sure to increase scrutiny of them — and not only continued their she-nanigans but also tried to exploit their new positions.

It was utterly reckless — pre-cisely the quality that made them a good fit with Trump.

“This is quite an honor for our people,” said Mike McCafferty, hospital CEO. “It really speaks to the efforts we are making to position our hospital for clinical an operational

excellence and, ultimately, great value for our patients and our community.”

The Becker’s team select-ed hospitals for inclusion based on several outside rankings and ratings orga-nizations, including IBM Watson Health 100 Top Hospitals, iVantage Health Analytics and The Chartis Center for Rural Health’s Top 100 Rural & Community Hospitals, CareChex ratings,

Leapfrog Group grades, Healthgrades awards and CMS Star Ratings.

The award comes on the heels of a recent Top 20 award from the National Rural Health Association

earlier this year, which named SMH one of the top 20 rural community hospi-tals out of the 2,200 hospitals scored for the second time.

“We are proud to serve this community and these

accolades are really about the quality work our physi-cians, health care providers and all employees are doing every day to provide excel-lent patient-centered care,” McCafferty said.

Actress says Geoffrey Rush touched her inappropriatelySYDNEY (AP) — The actress

at the center of Oscar-winning actor Geoffrey Rush’s defamation suit against a Sydney newspaper alleged he touched her breast and lower back during a Shakespeare production three years ago, doc-uments presented in court said Thursday.

The 67-year-old Australian actor is suing The Daily Telegraph in

the Federal Court over articles in December that reported Sydney Theatre Company had received a complaint of “inappropriate behavior” against Rush during a production of “King Lear” in 2015.

The company said the actress who complained had requested anonymity and had not wanted Rush informed.

That actress was later identi-fied as Eryn Jean Norvill, who played Cordelia, the youngest daughter of King Lear, played by Rush. Lawyers told the court on Thursday that Norvill had agreed to provide the newspaper with a sworn statement detailing her allegations last month.

Justice Michael Wigney was told on Thursday that the news-

paper would use Norvill’s state-ment in its defense against the defamation suit, which is to be tried by a jury in October. Both Rush and Norvill are expected to testify.

The newspaper’s defense will include allegations Rush’s hand “traced across” the side of Norvill’s breast during a perfor-mance.

Australian golfer

Jarrod Lyle dies after

long cancer battle

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — With a contagious smile, a sense of humor and a deep deter-mination to keep playing golf, Jarrod Lyle endeared himself to people around the world during a long struggle against cancer.

The 36-year-old Australian golfer died Wednesday night at his home near Melbourne among family and close friends, the week after opting to forego further treatment and enter palli-ative care.

“It breaks my heart to tell everyone that Jarrod is no longer with us,” his wife, Briony Lyle, said in a statement released by Golf Australia on Thursday. “He asked that I provide a sim-ple message: ‘Thanks for your support, it meant the world. My time was short, but if I’ve helped people think and act on behalf of those families who suf-fer through cancer, hopefully it wasn’t wasted.’”

Lyle, who won twice on the Nationwide Tour in 2008, was first diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia as a teenager and suffered recurrences in 2012 and 2017.

He was survived by Briony and two daughters.

“Lusi, Jemma and I are filled

with grief and now must confront our lives without the greatest husband and father we could ever have wished for,” Briony Lyle said. “At the same time, we have been blessed and over-whelmed with the messages and actions of support from around the world and feel comforted that Jarrod was able to happily impact so many people.”

Golf Australia paid respects with a video and said the game “has lost one of its greatest char-acters.”

Lyle was diagnosed in 1999 and spent much of the next nine months in a hospital in Melbourne.

He gradually returned to golf and reduced his handicap to scratch before turning profes-sional in 2004. He qualified for the Asian Tour in 2005 and start-ed playing on the second tier of the U.S. tour in 2006.

After an another setback he made an emotional comeback from 20 months out of com-petitive golf during the 2013 Australian Masters before using a medical exemption to play on the U.S. PGA Tour in 2015.

Lyle underwent a bone marrow transplant last December but last week decided not to continue with treatment after saying he’d “reached his limit.”

Lyle’s sense of humor and cou-rageous comebacks made him popular with fans and the rest of

his fellow golfers.Robert Allenby, who has four

wins on the PGA Tour among his 22 worldwide, has known Lyle for 20 years — their first meeting when he signed an autograph at the Australian Masters for a then 16-year-old fan and the second when Lyle was first in hospital the following year.

“We met because I was his hero. He has been mine ever since,” Allenby wrote in a recent tribute on Players Voice. “What I would come to realize over time is that Jarrod possesses a deter-mination, grit and inner strength unlike anybody I’ve met in my life.”

Another Australian golf-er, Greg Chalmers , said was “through a river of tears I say goodbye to my friend Jarrod Lyle.”

“A wonderful father, friend and golfer. Quick with a joke, didn’t mind a beer, and just a pure joy to be around every day,” Chalmers posted on Twitter. “Miss you mate. RIP.”

Jason Day, who is among the Australians playing this week at the PGA Championship in St. Louis, said he was “deeply sad-dened” by the passing “passing of my friend Jarrod Lyle. Jarrod will forever be an inspiration to us alI.”

Marc Leishman, also at the championship, said the golf com-munity was saddened.

SHERIDAN COUNTY — Goose Valley Volunteer Fire Department, Sheridan Fire-Rescue Department and Ranchester Volunteer Fire Department responded to a haystack fire on Decker Road Wednesday at 2:12 p.m.

The fire started as a grass fire, which the 12 respond-ers successfully put out. Firefighters surrounded the haystacks and let them burn, as there were too many to extinguish at the time.

The number of haystacks burned and gallons of water used were not available at press time, but six total fire trucks responded and were used on scene.

SPEAKS : Workshop brought unique mixture of theater, discussionFROM 1

Cannon had been think-ing of doing a workshop in Sheridan for some time, and she worked together with classmates Ashleigh Bragg, Elise Goldin and Nicole Kontelefa to bring the pro-gram to life.

“I thought it would reso-nate because there’s such a foundation and appreciation for the arts, as well as a strong sense of community,” Cannon said. “There’s a pride in the place and who people are and how they identify here.”

Cannon was born and raised in Sheridan and

participated in musicals, plays, concerts and various summer performances. She wanted to give back to her hometown community that has supported her many endeavors throughout the years.

Cannon said applied the-ater ideally allows time for self-reflection and imagina-tion.

“It’s important to come and be in a room with a group of people and work things out,” Cannon said. “It’s so important to reflect on yourself and the people you live around in your community, in-person, in a room (and) to be able to

connect one-on-one, face-to-face.”

Cannon is also consid-ering moving back to Sheridan after she finishes school, so the workshops serve as a test run for how receptive the community is to that type of performance.

Cannon said the work-shop will hopefully lead to conversations most people avoid.

“We live in sort of a divi-sive time,” she said. “That’s why I think [we went] local and invited people to show up and have that conversa-tion that maybe sometimes people avoid because it’s kind of scary and feels kind

of risky.”Wednesday marked the

group’s first time running the full workshop in public, which lasted three hours and had around 30 attend-ees. Audience members spent the first hour getting to know each other and sharing stories. Most of the final two hours focused on a play involving a few scenes between several characters.

The facilitators researched local and state news stories and learned from Cannon to bring a local angle to their performance.

“It’s not just theater prac-titioners coming in and per-forming something,” Bragg said. “We’re creating it together with the audience and we’re talking about subject matter that matters to that specific community, so it’s geared toward social issues of whatever popula-tion we might be working with.”

The fictional play began with Irma, a lesbian mem-ber of the Crow Tribe who recently moved to a new town with her 7-year-old son and wants to open a neck-lace business in her home. Irma is putting up a gay pride flag outside her front door when she meets Kathy, a new neighbor who greets her warmly. Kathy attempts to welcome Irma around town but receives push-back from her husband and other community members. Eventually, Irma leaves town after a few months due to discrimination she and her son face.

Cannon, Bragg, Goldin and Kontolefa ran through the play once and then asked audience members to focus on what Kathy could have done differently. The audience suggested differ-ent ways for the actors to perform, and some audi-ence members eventually acted out the performance themselves. Near the end of the workshop, audience members asked Irma a few questions. One of the que-ries resulted in a conver-sation about the difference between proclaiming and not hiding one’s identity.

The final portion of the

workshop focused on audi-ence feedback to the four facilitators, which was largely positive.

“I’ve never seen a conver-sation like this happen in Sheridan before,” audience member Emma Hall said.

Hall added that the peo-ple in attendance were a self-selected group and probably more open to the conversation than a random sampling of people around town, but she was thankful the workshop occurred.

“I think it just takes more things like this and reaching a wider and wider audience to get all those dif-ferent voices in the room,” Hall said.

Another audience member said it was helpful to think about situations that occur unexpectedly in real life so she can be more prepared when they happen.

Hall agreed.“It was a really good

opportunity to practice the way that I can interact with my community and with people in my town, espe-cially those that I disagree with,” Hall said. “I think that’s something that all of us could practice.”

The workshop brought a unique aspect of theater and discussion to Sheridan and could lead to similar perfor-mances — and more open discussion — in the future.

RAWLINS DAILY TIMES

VIA WYOMING NEWS EXCHANGE

RAWLINS — Yet again, Carbon County commissioners hesitated to make any approvals on a conditional use permit regarding the proposed Little Medicine Bow S LLC wind energy proj-ect.

After hearing arguments from LMB CEO Juan Carlos Carpio-Delfino and Q Creek Ranch Land and Cattle Company representative Dan Zyvoloski on Tuesday, the Commission opted to have the project proposal reviewed by the Industrial Siting Council of the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality.

The Council has 15 days to respond to the request.

One of the major reasons why the Commission didn’t make an approval was that, after pressing Carpio-Delfino on if he obtained permits — includ-ing an Eagle Take Permit through the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, as well as an agreement with the Bureau of Land Management (the proposed line runs through some BLM land) — he said he’s only been speaking with these enti-ties.

This means nothing has yet been final-ized; although Carpio-Delfino did say he’s had a cost recovery contract with Game & Fish in place since 2016.

In addition to Commissioners’ main reasons to delay the CUP, representa-tive John Espy said they don’t have the “social or economic” expertise to make the call, and that reclamation and decommission plans needs to be in place.

Nevertheless, LMB has been running into hurdles in recent months.

It was early June that the $50 million pilot project, originally set to erect 13 wind turbines off U.S. Highway 487 near Medicine Bow, encountered a setback when Q Creek, which operates in the

area, erected a trailer in the proposed wind charger line.

With that, the county’s setback ordi-nance, according to Carbon County Planning and Development Director Sid Fox, dictates that the proposed turbines must be placed farther than 5.5 times its own height away from any dwelling.

The man camp trailer house is classi-fied as a dwelling.

From there, according to Carpio-Delfino, LMB had to “go back to the drawing board.” In doing so, the CEO reported to Commissioners a new proj-ect plan, thinking it would appease the setback ordinance.

What was originally anticipated to gen-erate $19.45 million in tax revenue for the county and state, due to adjustments the project will now generate $17.4 mil-lion, says Carpio-Delfino.

This 10 percent reduction, which Carpio-Delfino presented on Tuesday, included reducing the number of tur-bines to 11 (from 13), as well as short-ening height and rotor diameter of the wind chargers.

On the northern sector of the proj-ect, the rotor diameters of the three 3.2 megawatt turbines were reduced now 103 meters, said Carpio-Delfino. On the southern parcel, the eight 3.83 megawatt turbines were decreased to 143 meters in rotor diameter.

Despite the changes, for Zyvoloski and Q Creek, they still oppose the project.

According to Zyvoloski, the proposed wind farm isn’t a “standalone pilot proj-ect.” Instead, he noted, it’s merely a pre-cursor to a larger “master plan” project, which is headed by Viridis Eolia, a com-pany which Carpio-Delfino also directs.

If built, this Virids Eolia Master Plan would become one of “largest wind ener-gy developments in the United States,” according to viridiseolia.com. It would be built on 98,381 acres of BLM and state lands, and it would include up to 748 tur-bines.

BIKE MSEvent finds home in Sheridan

SHERIDAN — In 2016, Bike MS didn’t know what to expect. The cycling event — which had grown for nearly 20 years, unit-ing communities all around the state with the common goal of

raising funds and awareness for muscle dystrophy

— had never made Sheridan its host

city.

“We were worried about how well we’d be received in a dif-ferent community,” said Molly Palmer, the development man-ager at the National MS Society, Wyoming Market.

Those worries swiftly got put to bed, and the event has no plans to relocate anytime soon.

“It has been nothing but heartwarming,” Palmer said. “We will be in Sheridan for the foreseeable future.”

The Bike MS: Bighorn Country Classic will take place Saturday and Sunday, travers-ing 150 miles all over northeast Wyoming. The event will start and end each

day at Sheridan College.Day one will take riders

to Ucross and Buffalo before heading back to Sheridan — an 82-mile course. Some cyclist will have the opportunity to do an out-and-back toward Red Grade Road to make it a 100-mile ride.

Sunday will see riders trav-el north to Dayton and up the mountains to Sand Turn Interpretive Site before finish-ing the ride, passing through

Ranchester and back to Sheridan.

The fundraiser plans to accommodate about 250

cyclists from all over the United States. Last

year the Bighorn Country Classic

had participants from 15 different states.

“Our event is what they call

a destination ride as we pull in

cyclists from all over the coun-try,” Palmer said. “… This is a great opportunity for Sheridan to show off your guys’ beautiful town to tourist from all over the country.”

Local businesses run rest stops along the course, and local

churches and civic groups provide lunches each day.

Dinners, beer and mes-sages are available at

the end of both days. A band and guest

speaker, talking about MS, will

cap the event Saturday

night.

The entire weekend revolves around the ride, but there’s a little something for everyone, which is what Bike MS was aim-ing for when moving the event to Sheridan.

“It’s a small enough event that people come back year after year. It’s almost like a family reunion — like big-family barbecues,” Palmer said. “That communi-ty-and-family-coming-together feel is what really sets us apart and was very important to us when we moved out of Sundance — where we had been for so many years.”

The ride got its roots in Sundance and moved to Newcastle and Cheyenne over the years. Bike MS is a nation-wide event and stands as the No. 1 charitable cycling event in the country.

It has particular importance in the state of Wyoming, as the average number of individuals with MS is higher in Wyoming than the majority of other states. About one in 750 people are diag-nosed with MS nationwide, but about one in every 350 people battle MS in the Equality State.

“I’m a health care provider, and I treat people with MS all the time, so it’s actually a really cool cause and it’s a really cool fund-raiser,” said Brooke Chorniak, who is riding for the North Platte Physical Therapy team. “We go out and do different bike events all year round, but when it actu-ally has a meaning like that, it’s a lot cooler, and it’s way more fun to kind of do those ones.”

Archer gets victory as Pirates beat Rockies 4-3

DENVER (AP) — Adam Frazier has been doing damage with his bat lately.

But it was his glove that helped Pittsburgh take a series in Colorado.

Frazier had three hits and made a run-sav-ing play in the field, and the Pirates beat the Colorado Rockies 4-3 on Wednesday.

Chris Archer (4-5) was making his second start since being acquired from Tampa Bay before the July 31 trade deadline. He allowed two runs and five hits in five innings.

Felipe Vazquez got the last four outs for his 26th save.

Frazier had two doubles and a single, but made what might have been his biggest con-

tribution on defense. With runners on the corners and two outs in the eighth inning, pinch-hitter Chris Iannetta hit a sharp grounder to the hole at second. Frazier made a diving stop and threw out Iannetta to end the inning and preserve the one-run lead.

“Flip’s throwing 100 (mph) so I figured it was coming my way if he got inside of it and he did,” Frazier said. “He smoked it and I reacted. I dove and luckily it stuck to my glove. It saved the game for us. I’m pretty happy I made that play.”

His defense complemented a hot stretch at the plate. He got three hits in his first three at-bats and has raised his average 41 points to .280 over the past two weeks.

“He’s been in a good place on both sides of the ball,” manager Clint Hurdle said.

German Marquez (9-9) tied a career high with 10 strikeouts and David Dahl homered for the Rockies.

Colorado scored just six runs in the three-game series.

“That’s sort of been the theme lately, lately meaning the last few weeks,” Rockies manag-er Bud Black said. “We just haven’t seemed to string a big hit in there with a couple baserunners on base. We need that to turn around as we move forward.”

Archer retired the first eight batters before Marquez singled in the third. Colorado broke through in the fourth on Dahl’s two run homer, his fifth of the season, to cut the defi-cit to 3-2.

NCAA adopts basketball reforms for

agents,NBA draft

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — The NCAA is taking steps to try to clean up college basketball, carving out a limited role for agents to work with players and changing pivotal parts of its rules-enforcement system as part of numerous reforms in the wake of a corruption scandal.

The Indianapolis-based gov-erning body for college sports announced Wednesday that its Board of Governors and Division I Board of Directors had adopted a “series of sig-nificant policy and legislative changes” as part of an effort to “fundamentally” change the NCAA’s structure. Some are immediate, while others first require action from other agencies — such as the NBA changing the age limit for draft-eligible players that has fueled the wave of “one and done” at the college level.

That follows late-April recommendations from the commission headed by for-mer U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice following a federal investigation into alleged bribes and kickbacks designed to influence recruits on choosing a school, agent or apparel company. Georgia Tech president and Board of Directors chairman Bud Peterson said the NCAA had pushed through changes in about 3 1/2 months that would “normally take us about two years through the governance process.”

“Today was obviously a very important day for the NCAA and especially for men’s basketball, and ... Division I,” NCAA President Mark Emmert said in a tele-conference with reporters Wednesday afternoon.

While many agree the reforms are a step in the right direction, it is unclear how effective they will be.

“It’s important to be mindful that we won’t reach perfec-tion; however, we can’t let that stand in the way of signif-icant progress,” Atlantic Coast Conference John Swofford said in a statement.

In terms of agents, the changes are as much about transparency and offering a legitimate avenue for commu-nication or advice that pre-viously could’ve taken place in the shadows — and raised the likelihood of attracting unscrupulous characters.

Now college basketball play-ers can work with an NCAA-certified agent while testing the waters of declaring for the NBA draft.

College players first would have to request an evaluation from the NBA Undergraduate Advisory Committee about their draft prospects after the season, and that would clear the way to enter into a written agreement — disclosed to the NCAA or school — with the agent.

That agreement must end if the player returns to school.

Agents would be allowed to cover minimal expenses such as meals and transportation associated with meetings or workouts with pro teams, but that could be complicated. The NCAA noted that might first require revisions to the Uniform Athlete Agent Act — a version of which is in place in more than 40 states to regu-late unethical agent conduct.

Stanford’s Love heads list of preseason Heisman contenders

Stanford running back Bryce Love’s deci-sion to return for his senior year instantly made him a preseason front-runner for some of college football’s top individual awards.

Love won the Doak Walker Award as college football’s top running back and was runner-up in the Heisman Trophy balloting last year as he rushed for 2,118 yards. He’s an obvious candidate for both awards again this year, even though he will have a tough time matching his production from last season.

“I had a good chance to talk with Bryce, to talk about (how) this year can’t be about stats,” Stanford coach David Shaw said. “He broke a lot of records last year, did some phenomenal things last year. This year’s about him getting bigger, stronger, being more versatile, different things, add-ing to his game. We’re not going to do the Bryce Love stat watch.”

Love is among several players to enter the season as contenders to earn hardware this season. Here’s a rundown of potential candidates for some of college football’s top individual awards.

HEISMAN TROPHY (top overall player)

— Bryce Love, StanfordHis 2,118 yards rushing last season

ranked second among all Football Bowl Subdivision players , behind only Seattle Seahawks first-round draft pick and former San Diego State star Rashaad Penny.

— Khalil Tate, ArizonaAs a versatile quarterback who can beat

defenses with his arm and legs, Tate fits

the profile of many other recent Heisman winners.

— Jonathan Taylor, WisconsinTaylor finished sixth in the Heisman bal-

loting last year and set an NCAA freshman record by rushing for 1,977 yards.

DAVEY O’BRIEN (top quarterback)

— Will Grier, West VirginiaGrier threw for 317.3 yards per game last

season and was the media’s choice as Big 12 preseason offensive player of the year.

— McKenzie Milton, Central FloridaMilton finished sixth in the Heisman

Trophy balloting last year while leading UCF to a perfect season.

— Khalil Tate, ArizonaTate rushed for 327 yards in one game last

season and ran for over 200 yards in two other contests.

DOAK WALKER (top running back)

— J.K. Dobbins, Ohio StateDobbins rushed for 1,403 yards and gained

7.2 yards per carry as a freshman last sea-son

— Bryce Love, StanfordLove will try to join former Texas star

Ricky Williams and former Arkansas stand-out Darren McFadden as a two-time winner of this award.

— Jonathan Taylor, WisconsinTaylor was one of three finalists for this

award last year.

BILETNIKOFF (top receiver)

— A.J. Brown, MississippiBrown caught 75 passes for 1,252 yards

and 11 touchdowns last year as an AP All-America third-team selection.

— N’Keal Harry, Arizona StateHarry had 82 catches for 1,142 yards and

eight touchdowns a year ago.— David Sills, West VirginiaSills caught 18 touchdown passes last sea-

son to tie for the FBS lead and was a finalist for this award.

OUTLAND (top interior lineman)

— Ed Oliver , HoustonOliver won this trophy last year and also

was a finalist for the Nagurski Trophy given to the nation’s top defensive player.

— Christian Wilkins, ClemsonClemson’s defensive line is so fearsome

that all four of its projected starters made the preseason all-Atlantic Coast Conference team.

— Jonah Williams, AlabamaWilliams will try to become the fourth

Alabama player in the last 11 years, joining Andre Smith (2008), Barrett Jones (2011) and Cam Robinson (2016).

BEDNARIK /NAGURSKI (separate awards given to the top defensive player)

— Nick Bosa, Ohio StateBosa earned second-team AP All-America

honors last season and had 16 tackles for loss plus eight sacks.

— Raekwon Davis, AlabamaAn Alabama player has won the last two

Bednarik Awards (Jonathan Allen in 2016 and Minkah Fitzpatrick in 2017) and one of the last two Nagurski Trophy honors (Allen in 2016).

— Clelin Ferrell, ClemsonFerrell was a first-team AP All-American

who collected 18 tackles for loss and 9 ½ sacks last year.

BUTKUS (top linebacker)

— Devin Bush, MichiganBush was a Butkus Award finalist and

third-team AP All-American last year.— T.J. Edwards, WisconsinEdwards was a Butkus Award finalist and

first-team AP All-American last year.— Devin White, LSUWhite had 133 tackles last season, includ-

ing 14 for loss.

JIM THORPE (top defensive back)

— Deandre Baker, GeorgiaBaker had nine pass breakups last season

to go along with three interceptions.— Jaquan Johnson, MiamiJohnson had a team-high 96 tackles and

tied for the team lead with four intercep-tions last season.

— Andraez “Greedy” Williams, LSUWilliams picked off six passes and earned

third-team AP All-America honors as a red-shirt freshman last season.

JOHN MACKEY (top tight end)

— Noah Fant, IowaHe’s coming off a 2017 season in which he

scored 11 touchdowns.— Albert Okwuegbunam, MissouriAs a redshirt freshman last season, he

had 11 touchdown catches to tie for the SEC lead .

— Caleb Wilson, UCLAWilson caught 38 passes for 490 yards in

only five games last year before a foot inju-ry shut him down for the rest of the season.

DEAR ABBY Pauline Phillips and Jeanne Phillips

What is it about peanut butter that makes it attrac-tive to so many songwrit-ers, from the Australian kids’ songsters The Wiggles (“There’s a food going round that’s a sticky, sticky goo/Peanut, peanut butter”) to the rappers in Wu-Tang Clan

(“Don’t eat Skippy, Jif or Peter Pan peanut butter”)? And why did singer Gwen Stefani say about herself, with no further explanation, “I’m like a peanut butter sandwich.”

People get a little nutty about peanut butter, appar-ently, but they have a point. Nuts and pure nut butters made from nothing but pea-nuts (we know it’s a legume, but for this discussion that may be close enough), wal-nuts, almonds, cashews and/or hazelnuts are packed with heart-loving poly- and monounsaturated fats and nutrients, including protein, iron, calcium and potassium. One study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that eating peanuts and tree nuts two

or more times a week and walnuts at least once a week was associated with a 13 to 19 percent lower risk of car-diovascular disease and up to a 23 percent reduced risk of coronary heart disease.

But not all nut butters are healthy options -- something Wu-Tang figured out. Their lyrics called out brands that, among their diverse offer-ings, contain heart-damaging trans fats/hydrogenated palm, cottonseed and soy oils and added sugar/honey/arti-ficial sweeteners. Stick with those made with nuttin’ but nuts (and maybe water). And for your PB&J sandwich, forget artificially sweetened jellies and jams. Go for pre-serves made with 100 percent pure fruits, spread on 100 per-cent whole-grain bread.

DEAR ABBY: My mother-in-law owns the building my husband and I live in. I moved in with him about a year ago, before we were married. Because she owns the building, she doesn’t charge her son rent to live there but asks that he help manage the building, which takes about three hours a month. (He has a full-time job outside of managing the building.)

When I moved in, his mom asked that I pay rent. I guess in the back of my mind I thought it would change after we got married. Do you think I’m a brat for thinking I shouldn’t have to pay rent? The amount she’s charging me is about what I would pay if we lived in another building and split the rent between us.

I don’t know how to approach this, or if I’d be stepping out of line to request living some-where rent-free. Please help. -- RENT-FREE IN CALIFORNIA

DEAR RENT-FREE: You are being treated like a tenant, not a daughter-in-law. As a member of the family, you should be treat-ed the same as her son. By all means discuss this with him, and while you’re at it, suggest he split your share of the rent 50/50 because you are all family now.

DEAR ABBY: My 30-year-old daughter has extremely high expectations for her birthday. No one in the fam-ily has ever given her a gift that she liked, so now we actually have to get the gift approved by her husband first!

She doesn’t like gift cards, and our budget is small. Although she barely acknowledges anyone else’s birthday, she still expects the “perfect” present for her own. We love her and want to celebrate with her, but the expectations and confron-tations make her birthdays miserable for everyone

-- including her. How do we stop this? -- BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

DEAR BIRTHDAY: Who created this self-entitled mon-ster? Remind your daughter and her husband that you are all adults now, and because of that, “the family” has decided from now on to mark mile-stones with greeting cards instead of gifts. Period. If you want to celebrate with her in addition, fine, but her behav-ior “takes the cake.”

DEAR ABBY: I am wonder-ing about current etiquette concerning work emails. I work in the office of a finan-cial institution and receive multiple emails from cus-tomers and fellow employ-ees every day. Our e-mail system recognizes when a

word is spelled incorrectly. If I receive an email that has a misspelled word in it and I must reply to it, is it rude to correct the other person’s spelling error? -- UNSURE IN ILLINOIS

DEAR UNSURE: If you do what you are contemplating, the recipient may find it insulting, so I don’t recom-mend it. However well-inten-tioned, it could lose the com-pany a client or annoy your co-workers.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Hints from Heloise Heloise

Dear Hel-oise: Hints, please, on how to wear LINEN. The wrinkles are terrible! Any great ideas to keep it looking fresh? -- Amy W., via email

Hi, Amy! Natural fibers in linen make it a cooler, more-breathable alternative to man-made fibers, but the wrinkles can be a problem.

The Drycleaning and Laundry Institute (www.dlionline.org) recommends laundering linen in warm water on the gentle cycle. Line-dry thoroughly on a rack or hanger. Ironing be-fore wearing may help with the wrinkles, but it won’t eliminate them.

Linen is a great option for late-summer wear, be-cause it’s breezy, absorbent and light, but with this fab-ric, resign yourself to some wrinkling. It speaks to the character of the fabric.

Professional dry-cleaning may help also. Talk with

your cleaner. -- HeloiseP.S. Linen is a natural

fiber so strong that our paper currency is 25 percent linen!

FAUCET FIXDear Heloise: To avoid

germs, after washing my hands in a public restroom, I use a paper towel to turn off the faucet. -- Nancy T., Hagerstown, Md.

Many public faucets have a motion-detector system for the water to come on, for the soap to dispense and for the paper towel to pop out, so you don’t have to touch things if you don’t want to. -- Heloise

FROZEN SAUCE Dear Heloise: I like to-

mato sauce, but I can never finish the big jar. I pour the sauce into a dedicated ice cube tray and freeze. -- Sim-one P., West Palm Beach, Fla.

GUNKY GASKET Dear Heloise: By acci-

dent, I found that the rubber guard under the garbage disposal is soiled. I wipe under the rubber to clean and sanitize it. -- R.A. in New York

Yes, the rubber sink gas-ket can get gunky! Here’s an easy way to really keep it clean:

Fill the sink with enough water to cover the gasket (which should release eas-ily), and add a couple of drops of liquid dishwashing detergent and a careful but generous glub-glub of chlorine bleach. Soak for 20 minutes. Rinse and reat-tach. -- Heloise

NIFTY NOODLESDear Heloise: When

I make boxed mac and cheese, I put more maca-roni in it from my pantry to stretch it further, and I also put these nifty noodles in chili or soup to do the same! -- Betty D., Faulkton, S.D.

LIPSTICK FIX Dear Readers: Got a bro-

ken lipstick? Don’t despair - here’s a solution:

Heat the raw edge with a match until soft, and set the piece back in the tube gently but firmly, then wait five minutes before rolling it down the tube. Place the tube into the freezer for 10 minutes to seal the repaired parts. -- Heloise

Bridge Phillip Alder

THE ROUTE TO NINE IS CLOUDED IN MIST

Edvard Grieg, a Norwegian composer and pi-

anist who died in 1907, said, “Suddenly a mist fell from my eyes and I knew the way I had to take.”

Being a bridge player can feel like that at times. How-ever, occasionally the mist is so thick that it is difficult to avoid tripping up. In today’s deal, how should South play in three no-trump after West leads a fourth-highest heart three?

Most tournament players open two no-trump with 20 or 21 points. Then, two clubs fol-lowed by two no-trump is 22 to 24, which is a wide range (but obviously has lower fre-quency than 20 to 21). I like two no-trump to promise a good 20 to 22.

South starts with seven top tricks: two hearts, three diamonds and two clubs. He would not mind leading twice toward his spade honors, but

he does not have the dummy entries. It is also possible that clubs are 3-3.

The first declarer in a match took the first trick (if he had ducked, a diamond switch would have been le-thal) and played three rounds of clubs. However, West took two tricks in the suit and went back to hearts. South could not re-cover.

A 3-3 split is only 35.53 percent; finding a player with one card is 50 percent. Much bet-ter at trick two is for declarer to lead a low spade toward dummy’s 10. If West has the jack, this will permit South to es-tablish two

tricks in the suit to go with the seven winners in the other three suits.

West wins with his jack and plays a second heart, but declarer takes that trick and leads a second spade. He can-not be defeated.

Omarr’s Daily Astrological Forecast Jeraldine Saunders

BIRTHDAY GUY: Actor An-tonio Banderas was born in Malaga, Spain today in 1960. This birthday guy stars as Pablo Picasso in the second season of “Genius.” On the big screen, he starred as Gregorio Cortez in the “Spy Kids” fran-chise and has had memorable roles in “The Expendables 3,” “Assassins,” and “Desper-ado,” as well as voicing the title feline in “Puss In Boots.” Banderas has a daughter with his ex-wife, actress Melanie Griffith.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Drive in your own lane and use your turn signals. Be conscientious about getting the details correct to obey the traffic laws. Apply the same principles to please a special someone and keep the peace at home.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Hummingbirds head right for the nectar. If you are not mak-ing the progress you hoped it

is because you have not set realistic goals or are wasting time on something else. Don’t be discouraged by healthy competition.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If people want favors it is only fair to expect compensation. Your tolerant and cheerful at-titude may attract those who are happy to take advantage of your generosity. Don’t promise more than you can provide.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Compare your current posi-tion to one you had in the past. Perhaps you made mistakes but now you know better. Con-centrate on improving joint resources by using a powerful passion for financial success.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Focus on making your dreams come true. Take advantage of the enthusiasm in the air to put ambitious plans into motion. A significant other may supply support and sage advice to im-prove the odds of your success.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your ambitions may be given a chance to pursue their own manifest destiny. You have the knack to make profitable choices. Something to do with love, fun, and romance could also land on your “to do” list.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Learn to live with it. Rather than carefree fun it seems that social activities revolve around business and a race to make a dollar. Accept that it is necessary to live by the rules and imperative to plan for the future.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Yield to oncoming traffic. You might be wiser than usual and have a better overview, but harmony must be maintained. It may be expedient to offer to compromise or to let someone else have a say.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Count on your family to support you through thick and thin. It is quite likely that

someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes in a way that will be beneficial. Focus on achieving financial stabil-ity.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): See how far you can go and you will go far. The only person you should compete against is yourself. Pit yourself against a pesky problem and you can solve it by being inno-vative, analytical and original.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Sometimes it isn’t about the cost but the benefits. Be-fore you part with your hard-earned money consider an array of important factors. Put a financial plan into motion that will reap a future reward.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Stop, look and listen. Pay at-tention and you might hear ex-actly what you want or need to hear. Favorable opportunities may come in view that you can easily pounce upon like a cat who has spotted a mouse.

IF AUGUST 10 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: You may fall for someone who is not willing to commit or let your fanta-sies lead you astray, but your judgement improves as the next three to four weeks un-fold. Remain footloose and fancy free because it will be difficult to keep promises. In October a combination of savvy business skills and vi-sionary imagination makes you an unbeatable adversary. You can use your heightened inspiration to enjoy an exotic vacation or to stretch the lim-its in career success. Maintain a low profile in December when you can make financial mistakes. A fantasy laden en-counter, such as a shipboard fling, could restore your faith in romance in January. Jan-uary offers the best timing to make wise decisions or to launch crucial plans.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS |Public notices allow citizens to monitor their government and make sure that

it is working in their best interest. Independent newspapers assist in this cause

by carrying out their partnership with the people’s right to know through public

notices. By offering an independent and archived record of public notices,

newspapers foster a more trusting relationship between government and its

citizens.

Newspapers have the experience and expertise in publishing public notices and

have done so since the Revolutionary War. Today, they remain an established,

trustworthy and neutral source that ably transfers information between

government and the people.

Public notices are the lasting record of how the public’s resources are used and

are presented in the most efficient and effective means possible.

MS: Goal is $250,000

FROM B1

The Bighorn Country Classic would like to raise $250,000 in 2018. That money will go toward research for a cure while also funding programs and financial assistance for peo-ple with MS.

And because pro teams previously could cover some of those expenses, the monetary benefit could be minimal. The agents would have to be certified by the NCAA by no later than August 2020, agents certified by the NBA players’ union would qualify until a formal deadline is set.

The NCAA included a pro-vision allowing agent rela-tionships for high school players identified as an elite prospect by USA Basketball beginning July 1 before their senior year, though only if the NBA changes its age-limit restrictions. If the NBA and its players’ union decide to lower the age limit of draft-eligible players to 18, it would clear the way for elite players to go from preps to pros.

It’s unclear when — and if that would happen — or what impact that would have on colleges recruiting NBA-ready prospects.

The changes also include allowing a player to return to school if undrafted, but only if he sought the NBA advisory evaluation and

participated in the scouting combine — a number that NCAA senior vice president of men’s basketball Dan Gavitt said would be “very limited in scope.” That, too, would first require tweaks to NBA and players’ union rules.

At least one prominent coach, Kentucky’s John Calipari, wondered aloud as to how that will work.

“My question is, what if there are no scholarships at that school because they gave the scholarships away because they thought he was leaving?” Calipari said in an interview on ESPN. “What does that kid do now? Does he go to another school?”

There were also signifi-cant changes to the enforce-ment process to handle cases of rules violations. That included the appoint-ment of Rice-recommended independent groups to handle and resolve complex cases, with Emmert estimat-ing it would apply to maybe five cases annually.

The changes also allow the NCAA to accept outside information that has been “established by another

administrative body or a commission authorized by a school.” The NCAA says that will save time since investigators would no lon-ger have to independently confirm those details, which could apply to the current corruption case with federal investigators having access to information through sub-poenas and wiretaps — tools the NCAA doesn’t possess.

The changes also include requiring school presidents and athletics staff to commit “contractually” to cooperate fully with investigations, stiffer penalties for viola-tions and regulation of the summer recruiting circuit.

Federal prosecutors announced last fall they had charged 10 men — includ-ing assistant coaches at Arizona, Auburn, USC and Oklahoma State along with a top Adidas executive — in a fraud and bribery scan-dal. The case has entangled schools such as Kansas, North Carolina State, Maryland and Louisville, among others, though pros-ecutors withdrew a crimi-nal complaint in February against one of the defen-dants.

SICK: Archer spent Tuesday in bedFROM B1

“The homer I gave up was one of the only times I shook (catcher Francisco) Cervelli off,” Archer said. “That was my bad. I should have listened to him. It’s huge to get a series “W’’ going into San Francisco.”

Pittsburgh led early on an RBI double by Gregory Polanco and a run-scoring single by Frazier in the first, and an RBI groundout in the third.

The Pirates added a run on Corey Dickerson’s sacrifice fly in the eighth inning to make it 4-2.

Ryan McMahon’s RBI single made it close again.

TRAINER’S ROOMPirates: INF Josh Bell (left oblique

strain) was activated from the 10-day DL and started at first base Wednesday. INF Jose Osuna was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis.

Rockies: LHP Chris Rusin (plantar faciitis) pitched in a rehab assignment Tuesday night and was at Coors Field on Wednesday.

Manager Bud Black said Rusin will be evaluated.

“We’re encouraged by a lot of things we saw in his three outings,” Black said.

QUICK RECOVERYArcher spent a lot of Tuesday in bed

trying to shake off a bug that had Hurdle wondering if he would start Wednesday.

“We needed to come up with a plan B,

and it was real,” Hurdle said. “For him to go out and pitch the way he did, it was a really strong effort.”

Archer said he wasn’t sure what hit him, but suspected it was food poisoning. He said he felt a lot better when he woke up Wednesday morning.

“I felt good enough to pitch,” he said. “I haven’t eaten a whole lot the last couple of days but, again, laid it out there for the guys and they picked me up.”

IMMACULATE INNINGMarquez had a rough start but settled

down to register a rare feet. The righty struck out the side in the fourth on nine pitches.

He is the third pitcher to do it this sea-son.

It is the first time it was done at Coors Field.

The only other Rockies pitcher to throw an immaculate inning was Rex Brothers in 2014.

“I wasn’t aware of that but I’m glad to be on that list,” Marquez said.

Marquez followed his perfect inning with a leadoff walk in the fifth to Cervelli.

UP NEXTPirates: RHP Ivan Nova (6-6, 4.49) takes

the mound against the Giants in San Francisco on Thursday night.

Rockies: LHP Tyler Anderson (6-4, 4.05) will open a four-game home series against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday.

Severino helps Yankees sweep White Sox

CHICAGO (AP) — Luis Severino has been working on his slider with New York Yankees pitching coach Larry Rothschild.

It’s beginning to pay off, too.

Severino pitched seven effective innings in his first win in a month, Giancarlo Stanton hit his first grand slam in four years and the Yankees swept the Chicago White Sox with a 7-3 victory on Wednesday night.

Aaron Hicks also homered as wild card-leading New York closed out a 3-4 trip with its third consecutive win. While Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez remain sidelined by injuries, the Yankees posted their first road series sweep of at least three games since a week-end set against the Angels from April 27-29.

“It’s not easy for us right now,” manager Aaron Boone said. “For us to come in here and grind out these wins I think is huge.”

The Yankees bounced back nicely after they were swept by the big league-best Red Sox, an ugly four-game set that included Severino’s third straight loss. The ace right-hander was a little bet-ter this time around, strik-

ing out eight while moving into a tie for the major league lead with his career-best 15th win.

Severino (15-5) retired 11 in a row after the White Sox used three straight hits to open a 2-0 lead in the first. After Tim Anderson led off the fifth with his 15th homer, Severino fanned the next two batters, and Austin Romine threw out Yoan Moncada trying to steal sec-ond.

“A lot of good sliders. The changeup was a factor again tonight,” Boone said. “So hopefully another step for-ward for him.”

Severino said he felt better about his slider after work-ing with Rothschild on the shape of the pitch.

“I was in control. I wasn’t missing like a couple out-ings ago,” he said. “I was on top of the ball.”

White Sox right-hander Lucas Giolito (7-9) was tagged for seven runs and six hits in five innings in his first loss in a month. He was 2-0 with a 3.42 ERA in his previous four starts.

Giolito unraveled for a while in the second, begin-ning with Gleyber Torres’ leadoff walk on four pitch-es. After Miguel Andujar struck out, the next five bat-ters reached safely.

“I lost all my rhythm, I

lost all my tempo,” Giolito said. “Four-pitch walk on uncompetitive pitches to open the inning. Kind of just spiraled from there.”

Romine and Shane Robinson had consecutive RBI singles, tying it at 2. Brett Gardner was hit by a pitch before Stanton went the other way for his 27th homer, connecting for a high-arcing drive that land-ed just inside the foul pole in right.

It was Stanton’s first slam since April 18, 2014, for Miami against Seattle and No. 6 for his career. He also homered in New York’s 4-3 victory Tuesday night.

“Good to get a sweep here,” he said. “Let Boston be in the past, and look ahead to what we need to do.”

Hicks added a leadoff drive in the fifth for his 19th homer. His previous career high was 15 last year.

Chicago (41-73) had won a season-high four straight before the sweep by New York (71-42). Jose Abreu and Daniel Palka each had two hits and drove in a run for the White Sox.

“At the end of the day, the outcome wasn’t the one we wanted for us,” Abreu said through a translator. “But I think it was a very good col-lective effort for the team.”
