SHERIDAN — The WYO Rodeo runs solely on volun-teers with very few workers paid to be involved with the weeklong festivities. Volunteerism is the very foundation of the Sheridan WYO Rodeo and without people donating their time and services, the rodeo wouldn’t happen.

“The WYO Rodeo runs solely on volunteers. Everyone across the line is volunteer; very few are paid to be involved. It was built on volunteerism, it just couldn’t happen without the volunteers,” WYO Rodeo Board Secretary Linda St. Clair said.

SPURS is a volunteer group in which people can participate and help in events throughout Rodeo Week.

Some volunteers prac-tice for months out of the year like the flag carrying Wranglers or volunteers may meet hours before the event to practice and exe-cute their responsibilities. But, one thing is made clear throughout the event: any-one can volunteer.

“You don’t have to know anything about rodeo to vol-unteer,” SPURS Volunteer

Coordinator and WYO Rodeo board member Sam Summers said. “Certainly for the professional side of it we have to have certain people with those skill sets. But, we also need people to

help with the parade and be ticket takers. Anybody can volunteer.”

Volunteers signed up through the Sheridan WYO Rodeo website and after filling out a form noting the

activities they wished to help with, Summers called to see where the best fit would be for the individual.

Dayton mayor recovering after health scareSHERIDAN — Dayton

Mayor Norm Anderson said he is recovering after he was taken to the hospital during a Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce luncheon Wednesday at the Sheridan Holiday Inn Convention Center.

According to a post on The Sheridan Press Facebook page Wednesday evening, Anderson said that while doctors are running more tests, they think he had suffered from a Transient Ischmatic Attack, or a mini stroke.

He said that he is expected to be released from the hos-pital Thursday.

Anderson, who was slat-ed to address constituents at the monthly luncheon about the status of Dayton, stuttered, turned his head twice then paused before his address.

He then asked to be taken to the hospital.

Rocky Mountain Ambulance crews were on the scene within 10 minutes.

Anderson was carried out on a stretcher at 12:43 p.m.

Anderson appeared awake and moving after he requested the ambulance. The mayor smiled after Chamber members gave him a round of applause as he was escorted out of the center by RMA staff.

Anderson was elected as mayor of Dayton in 2015.

Native Americans share stories, culture during Rodeo Week event

SHERIDAN — The tradition of storytell-ing has been a sacred part of the Native American culture since the dawn of time, and Wednesday night, local residents had the opportunity to listen to some of those ancient stories.

Sheridan residents were treated to sto-

rytelling and were introduced to Native American culture during the Miss Indian Americas storytelling event. Garyowen, Montana, resident Birdie Real Bird and former University of Oklahoma Native American languages professor Martha Poolaw shared their wisdom and stories with the slew of audience members at the Sheridan Senior Center.

Poolaw, a member of the Kiowa Tribe,

taught Kiowa language courses for many years.

She said that unlike European languages, every tribe’s language is completely differ-ent from the others.

“People ask me if I can understand many other Indian languages and I always say no,” Poolaw said. “Each language is com-pletely different from each other.”

Many tribes don’t have words that

English speakers do, according to Poolaw. She said that phrases like “How are you?” or “goodbye” do not exist in the Kiowa or many other Native American languages.

“Instead of ‘goodbye’ we say ‘until I see you again,’” Poolaw said. “Personally, I like that better.”

STORYTELLING : Sharing traditionsFROM 1

Poolaw also told the Kiowa story about the ori-gin of Devils Tower — or Bear Lodge as the Kiowa call it.

The story involves several children who were playing a game called “bear,” in which one of the children chases the others. However, the child playing the bear ended up actually turning into a bear.

In fear for their lives, the seven children ran through the forest until they got to a pile of rocks that told the children to step on top of it and they would be protect-ed.

The rocks then rose into the sky with the children on top of what would be Devils Tower. The tower’s unique

surface was caused by the bear scratching the rocks as it climbed higher into the sky. The seven children, unable to get back down from Devils Tower, became what Americans know as the Big Dipper.

After Poolaw’s presenta-tion, renowned Crow beader Real Bird gave a presen-tation about beading and Native American culture.

Real Bird started bead-ing with her aunts and her family at a young age. The craft was considered a way for the women in the family to bond with each other. Beading has been a part of Native American culture since the first white traders traded beads with the Plains Indians.

However, it wasn’t until Real Bird was in her adoles-

cence that she became seri-ous about beading.

“There was a time when I left a family party to go beading,” Real Bird said. “... I like to say that I hav-en’t stopped beading since then.”

Real Bird has become one of the most renowned Native American beaders in the world. She has had her works featured at the Smithsonian Museum and she is featured at many shows and museums throughout the American West.

“I am not the best beader in the world, I know many who are better than me, but I think that I am one of the only ones who is outgo-ing enough to share their works,” Real Bird said, laughing.

Design team chosen for WYO Theater expansion project

SHERIDAN — A team spearheaded by Dale Buckingham Architects has been selected to design phase two of the WYO Performing Arts and Education Center. The DBA team was chosen by a selection committee that consisted of representatives from the WYO Theater board, the Downtown Development Authority and the city of Sheridan.

In total, five teams submit-ted proposals for the project.

“We were excited by the number of quality proposals we received for this highly competitive process,” WYO Theater Executive Director Erin Butler said in a press release. “The final choice was challenging due to the experience and passion brought to the table by each team. We are grateful for the time and effort from the firms that submitted a pro-posal.”

Phase one of the WYO

Performing Arts and Education Center con-sisted of the renovation of the Perkins Building and the construction of the Mars Theater. Phase two moves the renova-tion efforts north of the theater into the Hallmark Building on the corner of Main and Brundage streets. Work on the 113-year-old structure includes expan-sion of the WYO Theater front lobby and relocation of the box office. The proj-ect will also improve the functionality of the WYO Theater by expanding the wing space stage left, and creating space for rehears-als and classrooms on the building’s upper floors.

“The addition of this newly renovated space will be a tremendous asset to the WYO and the Sheridan downtown,” Butler said. “Expanded wing and lobby space allows for larger event capacity, both front and back of house. The addition-al rehearsal and classroom

space will broaden opportu-nities for collaboration with Sheridan College and the community. With the addi-tion of the Mars Black Box we’ve already seen an increase in the WYO’s resources and demand for the facility. We are one step closer to fulfilling the WYO’s 26 year vision of becoming a major region-al performing arts center.”

The total estimated cost of the Hallmark project is $2.8 million. The city of Sheridan applied to the Wyoming Business Council for a $2 million Downtown Development Grant, with the Sheridan Economic and Educational Development Authority pledging $200,000 in matching funds.

In April of this year the State Loan and Investment Board awarded partial fund-ing of $500,000 for project design and initial improve-ments. The city intends to request the remaining $1.5 million in grant funds this fall.

UW president reports to trustees budget cutsCHEYENNE (AP) — The

University of Wyoming may have to eliminate more faculty and staff positions if other planned budget cuts do not pan out as expected, UW President Laurie Nichols said Wednesday.

The state’s only public four-year university is slashing spending in order to account for the state cut-ting its support by more than $40 million over the next two years.

Last month, Nichols declared a financial crisis and detailed a plan that included five strategies to save $19.3 million during the new

fiscal year that began on July 1.However, Nichols told the UW

Board of Trustees during a con-ference call on Wednesday that efforts to save about $2.5 million a year by having faculty spend more time teaching and another $3 mil-lion this year and $6 million next year by offering early retirement and separation may not meet orig-inal expectations.

She plans to eliminate more vacant faculty and staff positions to compensate, Nichols said.

The university was already counting 70 vacant jobs to save

about $5.2 million a year.But Nichols said nearly 80

vacant positions have been identi-fied across the campus. “We have actually more than $5.2 million in vacancies right now on the books,” she said.

The university might have to eliminate up to 85 positions, Nichols said.

Asked by a trustee what the problem was with getting faculty to accept more classroom teach-ing, Nichols responded that she hasn’t been directly involved in that matter, which is being

worked on by school deans and department heads.

“The sense I get is just simply holding deans’ and department heads’ feet to the fire and really, really make the faculty standard-ize their workload,” she said, noting that there needs to be justi-fication for releasing faculty from the workload.

Nichols hopes the university can save up to $2.5 million a year by not having to hire part-time facul-ty to cover for full-time faculty in the classroom.

So far, 41 employees have accept-

ed early retirement incentives and another 18 have agreed to leave. The university will be offering financial counseling next week to help employees make retirement decisions.

She and her staff are continu-ing to work on the cuts, and she should have better information by the time the board meets again in August, Nichols said.

Nichols has formed a special committee made up of various university interests to help find savings, including program cuts and restructuring.

Trump nears VP decision, candidates on standby for decisionWASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump

is on the verge of picking his running mate, with top contenders told to expect a decision from the Republican nominee as early as Thursday afternoon.

Newt Gingrich, one of the finalists for the vice presidential slot, told The Associated Press he’s expecting to hear from Trump sometime after 1 p.m. The former House speaker praised Trump for running a “very fair, open process” and said he looked forward to learning the businessman’s decision.

Joining Gingrich on Trump’s shortlist are Indiana Gov. Mike Pence and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, according to people familiar with the candidate’s thinking. All three have had extensive conversations with Trump and his family in recent days.

Trump and his new running mate will make their first appearance togeth-er Friday in New York. The timing is aimed at energizing Republicans ahead of next week’s Republican convention in Cleveland.

Each of Trump’s top contenders would add significant political experience to the GOP ticket. Trump, a political novice, has said for weeks that he wanted a run-ning mate who could help him work with Congress.

Beyond their political backgrounds, the

finalists bring different strengths to the ticket.

Pence, 57, is a steady, staunch conser-vative who would help calm nervous Republican wary of Trump’s impulsive style. He served six terms in Congress before becoming Indiana governor. He also has deep ties to evangelical Christians and other conservatives, par-ticularly after signing a law last year that critics said would have allowed businesses to deny service to gay people for religious reasons.

Trump took notice of Pence during the Indiana primary, noting that the governor had high praise for him despite endorsing one of his rivals.

Gingrich is a boisterous rabble-rouser who has spent decades in Washington and helped define the political battles of the 1990s. The 73-year-old would be the oldest candidate ever to become vice president.

Gingrich has been a steadfast Trump defender for months and has become a trusted adviser to the businessman.

So, too, has Christie. The New Jersey governor quickly endorsed Trump after ending his own presidential bid, stunning many of his supporters.

A former U.S. attorney, Christie, 53, is widely seen as one of his party’s most talented retail politicians and has proven himself a biting attack dog on the trail.

Wars’ Voices receives grant to give presentations statewideSHERIDAN — Wars’

Voices, a nonprofit operated by Val Burgess of Sheridan, was awarded funds for pro-grams to be presented at high schools and at public venues statewide. These funds allow Burgess to pro-vide Wyoming students, faculty and the public with the history of World War II through the primary resources of World War II prisoners of war completed over the last 24 years.

Burgess’ programs reveal the depth and complexity this conflict had on the lives

of the active and passive participants — and offer insights into the extreme and abhorrent conditions the POWs endured. World economics, international decisions and cultural dif-ferences will be discussed, showing how this world-wide collision occurred. Through the utilization of primary sources, the oral histories of prisoners of war and research from second-ary resources, the audience experiences World War II in a personal way, through the eyes of the participants, thus learning and under-standing the causes effects,

and the realities of war.Presentations will be com-

pleted at schools of all sizes, and in all areas of Wyoming. In larger schools, five pro-grams per school day will be completed. In smaller schools, a minimum of three programs will be given.

Presentations will also be offered to schools and public venues, with varied demographics, to diversify the audience so they engage, learn and benefit.

These presentations will begin in the fall of 2016 and will continue through spring of 2017.

Collaboration will occur

between educators, students and the presenter. Lesson plans, based on the primary and secondary research, are available to all participating schools.

All programs follow Wyoming state standards for social studies and lan-guage arts. The curricu-lum includes modules in research, reading, writing and public speaking, thus furthering the value of the programs, while at the same time educating the state’s students through the POW’s experiences.

All participants will be asked to reflect on the

following questions: Why should we learn about peo-ple who have experienced such difficulty? What have you learned from this pro-gram? What do you think the long-term effects of this war have been on the world?

Wars’ Voice’s goal, to make war personal to the students and attendees of the programs, gives an understanding of the costs of U.S. military involvement throughout the world. In 2016-17, approximately 2,000 to 3,000 individuals through-out the state will participate in these programs.

For additional informa-

tion or a program, contact Val Burgess at 307-674-4080 or vburgess@burgessdesign-group.com.

Elected officials speak about status of their communities

SHERIDAN — Despite uncertain times, local elect-ed officials are optimistic about the future of Sheridan County.

At Wednesday’s Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce monthly luncheon, mayors from each town and County Commissioner Bob Rolston gave brief updates on the status of their communities.

Rolston said that while the county has experienced tough financial times, he is proud that the county had completely balanced its budget heading into the next year. Also, due to the Madden Matrix, a method for county distribution of state funds, the county will receive increased funding from the state this fiscal year.

“We balanced the bud-

get, we didn’t have to dip into our reserves and we put money back into the reserves this year,” Rolston said.

Mayor Chris Schock of Clearmont said that one of his town’s most important tasks heading into the new fiscal year, which started July 1, was improving the town’s water. He said they plan to send out a bid for companies to drill a new well in the town.

Ranchester Mayor Peter Clark, who was speaking on behalf of his town and Dayton, said that the com-munities plan to complete several projects in the future. Perhaps the most important project is the natural gas pipeline, which would bring natural gas to the Tongue River Valley.

He said the project’s plan-ning study is near comple-tion.

Clark said that the Tongue

River Valley Joint Powers board will apply for a State Loan and Investment Board grant this September, which he hopes will be approved by winter.

Sheridan Mayor John Heath said in his written address that tough times are ahead for the city, and council members will be forced to make several dif-ficult decisions. However, he emphasized the need for continued growth in Sheridan’s economy.

“We can all turn these challenges into opportuni-ties,” Heath said.

One of the ways to encour-age growth is through partnering with other Sheridan County towns and surrounding cities. Heath said that the city hopes to continue the partnerships between Buffalo and Gillette and increase regional eco-nomic growth that would be beneficial to all towns.

VOLUNTEERS : InvolvedFROM 1

“They realize the importance of what the WYO Rodeo brings to the community annually,” Summers said. “They’re not getting paid, but a benefit to them is they get a SPURS band, which gets them around and they get to experience the rodeo a little bit more so than if they didn’t volunteer. They get to go behind the scenes.”

More than 150 volun-teers are participating

in this year’s rodeo. Groups and organizations involved range from churches, Boy Scouts, 4-H, FFA members and others.

“If you look around and see everything that goes on around Sheridan and how many of those things, aside from the Sheridan WYO Rodeo, that hap-pens every year and are all done by volunteers,” Summers said. “It says a lot about the community. So many of those events couldn’t be done if you had to hire it all.”

Fees for Wyoming state parks could increase

CHEYENNE (AP) — Wyoming officials are considering raising fees at state parks, as visitation is on the rise and state revenues are dwindling.

The Wyoming Tribune Eagle reports that any fee changes would need to be approved by the state Legislature. The Wyoming Department of State Parks and Cultural Resources is hoping lawmakers will

allow the department more flexibility in setting its own fees.

A legislative committee is scheduled to discuss a proposal on the matter at a meeting next month.

The proposal comes as the parks department is looking to offset a $1.4 million cut to its opera-tions under budget cuts announced by Gov. Matt Mead last month.

Notes, quotes,Rin Tin Tin

The second half of the baseball season cranks up this weekend after the 92nd All-Star Game break Tuesday. The Wall Street Journal recently provided insights

into the hitting streak of Joe DiMaggio which was 75 years ago this summer and lasted for

56 games. The commentary by Jo Craven McGinty ana-lyzes how likely the streak is untouchable. The closest anyone came to it was in 1978 when Pete Rose hit safely in 44 games.

Pitchers in DiMaggio’s day weren’t protected by monitored pitch counts and often faced the batter four or five times in a game, an advantage for the hitter. Today, few starters go more than six innings and man-

agers then turn the mound over to a variety of relief specialists.

Teams carried eight or nine pitchers on their rosters in 1941; today, they carry 12 or 13. Also noteworthy in the story is how equipment and conditions of the field have changed. In Joe D’s day, fields were pock-marked with holes, rocks, clumps of glass, and debris.

Today, outfielders play on perfect surfaces and can be more aggressive toward making a big defensive play. Walls are padded. Today’s players also play more at night; there’s tiring cross-country travel and the players, typical-ly in an average career, will play in 30-plus stadiums and all the quirks therein.

In DiMaggio’s era, he played in about seven or eight. The gloves of the outfielders, in com-parison to those of 1941, are huge today and useful in taking away hits. The players them-selves are better athletes with year-round conditioning written into their multi-million dollar contracts.

“Ain’t my first rodeo,” so goes the catch-all saying about “experience.”

Was going through some family stuff the other day and came across pic-ture-proof of my first rodeo. Since we’re right in the midst of WYO Rodeo Week, I thought it worth shar-ing.

In 1956, the cast of the ABC televi-sion series, “The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin,” were the guest stars of the San Angelo, Texas, rodeo and I was one of the “greeters” as they stepped off the Trans Texas Airways DC-3 plane. Lee Aaker, left, played the part of Rusty, an orphan raised by a U.S. cavalry post. The veteran actor James Brown played Lt. “Rip” Masters. He was from nearby Abilene. Brown went onto 40-plus movies, mostly action films and television. He died in 1992. Aaker, 13 years old in this photo, went onto to a few more movies before “aging out” as a child actor. He has lived most of his life in Mammoth Lakes, California, working as a carpenter. Aaker, 72, was recognized in 2005 for his many years as a special-needs ski instructor. The TV series ran for six seasons (116 episodes) through 1959.

PUBLISHER’S NOTEBOOK|Stephen Woody

The travesty of teacher tenureT

he mills of justice grind slowly, but life plunges on, leaving lives blighted when justice, by being delayed, is irremediably denied. Fortunately,

California’s Supreme Court might soon decide to hear — four years after litigation began — the 21st century’s most portentous civil rights case, which concerns an ongo-ing denial of equal protection of the law.

Every year, measurable injuries are inflicted on tens of thousands of already at-risk children by this state’s teacher tenure system, which is so politically entrenched that only the courts can pro-tect the discrete and insular minority it victimizes. In 2012, nine Los Angeles stu-dents recognizing the futility of expecting the Legislature to rectify a wrong it has perpetrated asked California’s judicia-ry to continue its record of vindicating the rights of vulnerable minorities by requiring the state’s education system to

conform to the state’s Constitution.

After 10 weeks of tes-timony, the trial court found the tenure system incompatible with the California Supreme Court’s decision, now almost half a centu-ry old, that the state Constitution, which declares education a “fundamental” state concern, guarantees “equality of treatment” to all K-12 pupils. It

“shocks the conscience,” the trial court said, that there is “no dispute” that “a significant number of grossly ineffective teachers” — perhaps more than 8,000, each with 28 students -- are doing quanti-fiable damage to children’s life prospects.

Technically, California teachers are granted lifetime tenure after just two years. Actually, they must be notified of tenured status after just 16 months.

(Thirty-two states grant tenure after three years, nine states after four or five. Four states never grant tenure.) When incompetent or negligent teachers gain tenure, dismissal procedures are so com-plex and costly that the process can take up to 10 years and cost up to $450,000. The trial court called the power to dismiss “illusory.” Each year approximately two teachers are dismissed for unsatis-factory performance — 0.0007 percent of California’s 277,000 teachers.

Instead, school districts are forced to adopt what is called the “dance of the lemons,” whereby grossly ineffective teachers are shuffled from school to school. Another facet of the tenure sys-tem — the teachers last hired are the first fired when layoffs are required — reinforces the powerful tendency for incompetent teachers, who must teach somewhere, to accumulate in schools with the most teacher vacancies. These are disproportionately schools attended by low-income minority children.

Abundant research demonstrates that teacher quality is the most important school variable determining academic performance. This is why there is more variation in student achievement within than between schools.

This variation is especially dramatic among students from educationally dis-advantaged families. A single grossly ineffective teacher can deprive students of a full year of learning, with conse-quences that include lower graduation and college attendance rates, and lifetime earnings more than $250,000 lower than for pupils without a single incompetent teacher. Because teachers’ unions insist that financial appropriations are the all-important determinants of schools’ successes, they are perversely reluctant to acknowledge the importance of quality teachers.

The appeals court responded with a judicial shrug to the trial court’s factu-

al findings. It said California’s tenure system does not constitute a denial of equal protection because the identifi-able class of people being injured have no “shared trait.” Oh? What about their shared injury? The injured pupils share a susceptibility to injury because of their shared trait of being economically disad-vantaged. This trait concentrated them in schools that themselves have a shared trait — disproportionately high numbers of bad teachers.

The appeals court breezily said the injured were merely an “unlucky subset” of pupils, a “random assortment” pro-duced not by the tenure laws but by the administration of them. This, however, is a distinction without a difference: The tenure laws’ purpose is to dictate out-comes by depriving administrators of dis-cretion. Systemic results cannot be dis-missed as “random.” Even if the tenure laws were neither written with a discrim-inatory motive nor administered with a discriminatory intent, the system is now known to produce — not invariably but with a high probability — predictable pat-terns of disparities.

Liberal and conservative legal lumi-naries, from Harvard’s Laurence Tribe to Stanford’s Michael McConnell, have urged California’s Supreme Court to do what the appeals court neglected to do — apply heightened scrutiny to the tenure laws that prioritize teachers’ job security over pupils’ constitutional right regard-ing education.

California’s Supreme Court will have national resonance if it affirms that public schools are established to enable children to flourish, not to make even dreadful teachers secure.

FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Today’s Highlight in History:

On July 14, 1966, the city of Chicago awoke to the shocking news that eight student nurses had been bru-tally slain during the night in a South Side dormitory. The victims, ranging in age from 20 to 24, were Pamela Wilkening; Suzanne Farris; Mary Ann Jordan; Nina Jo Schmale; Valentina Pasion; Merlita Gargullo; Patricia Matusek; and Gloria Jean Davy.

In 1789, in an event symbol-izing the start of the French Revolution, citizens of Paris stormed the Bastille prison and released the seven prison-ers inside.

In 1865, the Matterhorn, straddling Italy and Switzerland, was summited as a seven-member rope party led by British climber Edward Whymper reached the peak.

In 1881, outlaw William H. Bonney Jr., alias “Billy the Kid,” was shot and killed by Sheriff Pat Garrett in Fort Sumner in present-day New Mexico.

In 1913, Gerald Rudolph Ford Jr., the 38th president of the United States, was born Leslie Lynch King Jr. in Omaha, Nebraska.

In 1921, Italian-born anarchists Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were convicted in Dedham, Massachusetts, of murdering a shoe company paymaster and his guard. (Sacco and Vanzetti were executed six years later.)

In 1945, Italy formally declared war on Japan, its former Axis partner during World War II.

In 1958, the army of Iraq overthrew the monarchy.

In 1965, the American space probe Mariner 4 flew by Mars, sending back pho-tographs of the red planet. United Nations Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson II died in London at age 65.

In 1976, Jimmy Carter won the Democratic presidential nomination at the party’s con-vention in New York.

In 1980, the Republican national convention opened in Detroit, where nominee-ap-parent Ronald Reagan told a welcoming rally he and his supporters were determined to “make America great again.”

In 1999, race-based school busing in Boston came to an end after 25 years.

Ten years ago: Israel destroyed the home and office of Hezbollah’s leader, Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, and tight-ened its seal on Lebanon, blasting its air and road links to the outside world. Spurred by Mideast fighting, oil prices rose to an intraday record $78.40 a barrel. Actress Carrie Nye died in New York at age 69.

Five years ago: A federal judge in Washington, D.C. declared a mistrial in baseball star Roger Clemens’ perju-ry trial over inadmissible evidence shown to jurors. (Clemens, who was accused of lying under oath to Congress when he denied ever using performance-enhancing drugs during his career, was acquit-ted in a retrial.)

One year ago: World pow-ers and Iran struck a deal to curb Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for relief from international sanctions.

Today’s Birthdays: Actor Harry Dean Stanton is 90. Actress Nancy Olson is 88. Former football player and actor Rosey Grier is 84.

Thought for Today: “Life has got a habit of not standing hitched. You got to ride it like you find it. You got to change with it. If a day goes by that don’t change some of your old notions for new ones, that is just about like trying to milk a dead cow.”

NATIONAL OBITUARY |

Jailed Cosa Nostra boss dies, decade

after capture in Sicily

ROME (AP) — Convicted Cosa Nostra “boss of bosses” Bernardo Provenzano, who reputedly led the Mafia’s powerful Corleone clan, died on Wednesday, a decade after his capture in Sicily following decades of hiding in the countryside, a lawyer said.

In recent years, Provenzano, 83, had been held under strict security measures at a Milan hospi-tal. The lawyer, Rosalba Di Gregorio had cited Provenzano’s increasing physical frailty and men-tal infirmity in several failed attempts to persuade anti-Mafia prosecutors to ease the prison condi-tions intended to prevent mobsters from wielding power from behind bars.

The reputed “capo dei capi” (top boss) was arrested in 2006 after 43 years as a fugitive. He had been convicted in absentia of more than a dozen murders, as well as being part of the Mafia’s leadership who ordered the 1992 bombings that, in separate attacks, killed Sicily’s top two anti-Ma-fia investigators, Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino. He was also convicted of being a mas-termind behind Mafia bombings in 1993 in Rome, Milan and Florence, including one attack near the Uffizi art gallery.

Provenzano was also convicted of being among those giving the order for the 1982 murder in Palermo of Carabinieri Gen. Carlo Alberto Dalla Chiesa, who had been dispatched to the Sicilian capital by the Italian government to lead the

state’s uphill war against the Mafia.While young, Provenzano received the nick-

name “The Tractor” for determination displayed in a mob career that began as a hitman. He was believed to have taken over the leadership of the Sicilian crime syndicate after the 1993 arrest of a fellow longtime fugitive boss, Salvatore “Toto” Riina.

While in charge, investigator say Provenzano helped the Mafia dig its tentacles deeper into the lucrative world of public works contracts in Sicily, turning the mob into more of a white-collar indus-try of illegal activity, lessening its dependence on traditional money-makers like drug trafficking and extortion.

He essentially thumbed his nose at authorities, who were trying to hunt down a man whose last photo was a confident-looking young man, in a jacket and tie, hair brushed back from a broad forehead, taken decades earlier.

The man who had for years been Italy’s No. 1 fugitive was betrayed not by an informer or a rival mobster, but by clean laundry. Police had tracked a package of clothes to a farmhouse on the outskirts of Corleone, the hilltop town that had inspired the fictional crime family name in “The Godfather.”

Police had noticed the package leave his wife’s house in Corleone, then be delivered to a series of addresses until it finally was driven to the farm-house. When someone put a hand through the door to take in the laundry, police swept in, nabbing Provenzano, who had been living in the farmhouse with a shepherd who doubled as his housekeeper.

Your daily look at late-breaking news, upcom-ing events and the stories that will be talked about today:

1. ON STATEN ISLAND, GROUP WORKS TO KEEP PEACE WITH POLICEThe “Cure Violence” team walks the neighborhoods in the NYC borough, looking to head off violence and defuse arguments that can lead to police shootings two years after Eric Garner died in a confrontation there with police officers.

2. WHO’S SKIPPING GOP CONVENTIONSome Republican senators — including John McCain, Lisa Murkowski and Steve Daines — will steer clear of the convention amid the GOP establishment’s dis-comfort with presumptive nominee Donald Trump.

3. BANK OF ENGLAND OPTS AGAINST RATE CUT DESPITE BREXIT VOTEIn the immediate aftermath of the announcement, the pound was up 1.9 percent at $1.3367 and 1.5 percent firm-er at 1.20 euros.

4. WHAT POLICE MAY EMPLOY AGAIN TO KILL VIOLENT SUSPECTSDallas officers were the first in the nation to use a robot to deliver and detonate a bomb to kill suspect in the sniper shootings, but other law enforcement agencies are willing to follow suit.

5. ISLAMIC STATE MILITANTS POSE RISING THREAT IN SOUTHEAST ASIABut so far, ineffectual attacks by the extremist group’s followers in the region have shown them to be fragmented and lacking in expertise.

6. 8 OF 10 US DRIVERS ADMIT SOME LEVEL OF ‘ROAD RAGE’The most aggressive and aggrieved of them are young men ages 19 to 39, a new AAA survey shows.

7. HAITIAN WOMEN PURSUE PATERNITY CLAIMS AGAINST UN PEACEKEEPERSMothers with children fathered by peacekeepers say they will now seek child support from the absentee fathers and the U.N.

8. MEDICAL EXAMINER FACES HIS TRAUMA, WEEKS AFTER PULSE RAMPAGEJoshua Stephany experienc-es flashbacks of the carnage from the June 12 shootings that killed 49 at a Florida gay nightclub.

9. HOW WILDLY POPULAR SMARTPHONE GAME IS PLAYING OUTThe “Pokemon Go” craze across the U.S. has peo-ple wandering into yards, driveways and cemeteries in search of cartoon mon-sters.

10. ‘GAME OF THRONES,’’’VEEP’ VIE FOR EMMY NODS“Black-ish” star Anthony Anderson and Lauren Graham of “Gilmore Girls” will reveal the top Emmy nominations Thursday morning.

Marcia Mitchell

September 17, 1948 - July 8, 2016Marcia Mitchell, 67, of Sheridan,

passed away on Friday, July 8, 2016, at St. Vincent Hospital in Billings. She was born September 17, 1948, in Sheridan, WY, to parents Willis and Barbara (Brookins) Morris. She mar-ried Dallas Mitchell on April 17, 1988, in Lake Tahoe, CA.

Marcia grew up knowing real hard-ship in her early years which cultivated

within her the desire to protect and nurture her family, friends, and all her beloved pets. She was also blessed with amazing creativity that is shown in her quilts and crafts. She was a DIYer long before it was popular.

Her home was her masterpiece. It was always comfort-able and welcoming. She was an amazing cook, baker, seamstress and quilter. Marcia was most well-known for the festive, delightful meals she planned and prepared for family functions and holidays. Everyone always left with a smile.

Marcia’s only daughter Leasa was born in 1971; she was a single mom until she met Dallas in 1979. They were finally married in 1988, best friends and lovers through thick and thin. Marcia was a wife, mother, grandma, sister, aunt, cousin and friend. Her passing has left a big hole in our lives, which we are trying to fill with all the wonderful memories we shared with her.

JUSTIN SHEELY | THE SHERIDAN PRESS

R.C. Landingham of Hat Creek, California, carries out a high-scoring ride in the bareback event during the first night of the Sheridan WYO Rodeo Wednesday at the Sheridan County Fairgrounds.

Rough first night for Arvada’s Burnell, field of bull riders

SHERIDAN — It was a mixed night Wednesday for Bryce Burnell, Sheridan County’s only athlete to compete in the first night of the Sheridan WYO Rodeo. The Arvada native took his first ride in the Sheridan arena and the significance of it wasn’t lost on him.

“You know, it’s pretty special,” he said. “I remember when I was just a little kid watching this rodeo. First time I ever came here Bobby Welsh won it. And he’s helped me out a whole bunch with rodeo, and now to be here is just something amazing, real-ly.”

But for the 2013 national high school rodeo bull riding champ and 10 others in the competition, a winning performance just wasn’t in the cards. Out of 12 competi-tors, Joe Frost of Randlett, Utah, made the only qualifying ride of the night, scoring a 76.

Burnell will have more opportunities to shine, however. He’s heading to Casper for another performance Friday night.

Other Wyoming standout performanc-es included Hyattville’s Chance Darling, who took first in saddle bronc riding with 85 points. Laramie’s Blare Romsa tied for fourth in the first round of steer wrestling with a 5.5. JR Vezain, of Crowley, took second in bareback with an 82.5 and Kelly

Timberman, of Mills, took fourth with an 80.5.

Beyond the home state favorites, the crowd had plenty to watch Wednesday. Dana Bowman, a U.S. Army veteran and double amputee, wowed the crowd again this year, parachuting into the arena car-rying a 2,000 square foot American flag. Volunteers stretched out the flag and dis-played it while a young Gingi Gonzalez belted out the national anthem.

A group of 18 women on horses from the Cheyenne Frontier Days helped open up the night’s festivities, doing a fast-paced syn-chronized ride around the arena.

The new rodeo clown, JJ Harrison, put a fresh spin on the act, at one point getting

beat in an impromptu dance-off with a man who climbed down from the stands and did the splits.

And as always, the Indian relay races got fans on their feet and the night off to an exciting start, with four heats and 22 teams, hailing from Fort Hall, Idaho, to Pine Ridge, South Dakota.

Each heat featured both smooth, impres-sive transitions and moments of panic when teams lost control of horses or jock-eys fell. Two jockeys ended the night with injuries. Rides a Pretty Horse’s Clyde Jefferson of Billings, Montana, was carried out of the arena after his ride. And Old Elk Relay’s Ashton Old Elk, of Crow Agency, Montana, left the arena limping.

NBA stars lead call to end gun violence at ESPY Awards

LOS ANGELES (AP) — LeBron James won five trophies, including best male athlete and best NBA player, at the ESPY Awards on Wednesday night when frivolity gave way to a James-led call to end gun vio-lence and racial profiling.

The show honoring the year’s best ath-letes and sports moments opened on a som-ber note, with James and fellow NBA stars Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul and Dwyane Wade standing four abreast on stage addressing the recent shootings of blacks by white police officers.

“The urgency to create change is at an all-time high,” Anthony said.

Paul, the nephew of a police officer, recit-ed the names of several men who have been killed. Wade urged a stop to racial profiling, a shoot-to-kill mentality and “not seeing the value of black and brown bodies.”

“Enough is enough,” he said.James echoed Wade, noting, “We all feel

helpless and frustrated by the violence.”James urged his fellow pros to educate

themselves and renounce violence while using their resources and time to help strengthen and rebuild their communities.

“We all to have do better,” he said.Golden State star Stephen Curry thanked

the quartet for their message while accept-ing the night’s first award for record-break-ing performance.

He hit 402 3-pointers during the regular season.

James won male athlete and champion-ship performance for the third time in his career and his fifth trophy as top NBA play-er. He shared the team and best moment awards with his Cavaliers teammates, who upset Golden State to deliver the first cham-pionship for Cleveland in 52 years.

In accepting best moment, James brought teammates Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love on stage, where he saluted Pro Football Hall of Famer Jim Brown for his early social activ-ism in the hardscrabble city.

Breanna Stewart won best female athlete on her third try, beating WNBA MVP Elena Delle Donne and two Olympians, swimmer Katie Ledecky and gymnast Simone Biles. Stewart helped UConn win a fourth straight NCAA basketball championship before

going to the WNBA.In her speech, Stewart called for equality

for female athletes.“Female athletes don’t receive half the

fame. I know everyone in this room loves and supports women and girls in sports and wants to be a part of that change, right?” she said. “Equality for all takes each of us making an effort. Together let’s be better.”

WWE star John Cena hosted the show from Microsoft Theater in downtown Los Angeles.

In one of the night’s most emotional moments, Zaevion Dobson, a 15-year-old high school football player from Knoxville, Tennessee, was honored posthumously with the Arthur Ashe Courage Award for giving his life to shield two young women from gunfire last year. His mother, Zenobia Dobson, and two brothers accepted the tro-phy from Curry, with last year’s honoree Caitlyn Jenner joining the standing ova-tion.

Dobson told the audience four months after her son’s death his 12-year-old cousin was killed in a drive-by shooting on his way home from a basketball game where Zaevion was honored.

“I’m here to fight back,” Dobson said. “We as a country need to take a stand to consid-er the effects of gun violence on the families throughout America.”

Tears welled in the eyes of several ath-letes who applauded her comments.

“We need to rewrite laws to make it hard-er for people to get guns,” Dobson said. “All the athletes in this room, you have a lot of power. People look up to you, I know Zaevion did. I urge you to think tonight about why he died and what you can do tomorrow to prevent the next innocent man or woman from being lost.”

In video comments, President Barack Obama said, “It’s up to all of us to build a country that’s worthy of Zaevion’s promise. That’s what we owe him. That’s what we owe all our kids.”

Vice President Joe Biden presented TNT sideline reporter Craig Sager with the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance for his strength and determination while fighting leukemia for 1 1/2 years. During the com-mercial break, Shaquille O’Neal, Charles Barkley and Reggie Miller joined Sager and Biden on stage for a photo.

The Pat Tillman Award for Service was presented to Paralympic swimmer Sgt. Elizabeth Marks for her strength through adversity and continued service to her country.

Singer Justin Timberlake gave the Icon Award to Kobe Bryant, Peyton Manning and Abby Wambach, all of whom retired from their respective sports this year.

LOCAL SPORTS BRIEFS |

SECOND HALF ON DECK: Playoff push, trade talk, healing stars

David Ortiz is set to get booed at Yankee Stadium, Chris Sale is ready to resume striking out Kris Bryant and the Kansas City Royals are facing a rugged road back to the playoffs.

Now that the All-Star fun is finished, a look at what’s on deck as Major League Baseball makes the turn and heads home toward October:

PENNANT PUSH: All eyes will be on Joe Maddon and his Cubs as they chase their first World Series crown since 1908. They’re in prime position so far — Jake Arrieta, Bryant and Co. hold the biggest lead at the break, up seven games over St. Louis in the NL Central.

The Cubs have never won a title while at Wrigley Field. All those past failures? “That’s something we don’t really discuss very often,” Arrieta said.

Only one division race closer than five games: The AL East, with Baltimore up two on Boston and Toronto. Ortiz got a lot of love this week, but what Big Papi really wants is one more swing in the postseason. The Red Sox begin the second half Friday night in the steamy Bronx.

Quite a scramble is shaping up for wild-card spots — 18 teams are within five games of the slots. World Series MVP Salvador Perez, All-Star Game MVP Eric Hosmer and the defending champ Royals are hovering at 45-43.

DEAL OR NO DEAL: Will Aroldis Chapman soon be closing somewhere else? Can Jonathan Lucroy catch on with a con-tender? How about Carlos Gonzalez? Could Drew Pomeranz or Jake Odorizzi be start-ing a new chapter?

Plenty to track before the Aug. 1 deadline to make trades without waivers. Last year, a lot of big names moved in the final week — Yoenis Cespedes, Johnny Cueto and Troy

Tulowitzki, among them.This year, several elite teams need bull-

pen help. The Yankees have two of the top targets in Chapman and Andrew Miller. A few more wins might quiet all the trade noise, Miller said.

“We can shut down those rumors, and I think that’s the goal. That’s what need to do. That’s what we should do,” the lefty said.

HEAL OR NO HEAL: Clayton Kershaw, Zack Greinke and Craig Kimbrel come out of the break on the disabled list, as do Felix Hernandez, Michael Brantley and several Texas pitchers.

How fast the likes of Jordan Zimmermann, Wade Davis, Matt Carpenter and others can effectively come back might determine how far their teams go.

The defending NL champion Mets had already lost captain David Wright and former ace Matt Harvey for the season and power-hitting Lucas Duda for a long time when slugger Yoenis Cespedes and hard-throwing Noah Syndergaard recently got hurt in the same game.

“I don’t want it to sound like woe is me,” Mets manager Terry Collins said, “but woe is us.”

STEP IT UP!: Andrew McCutchen, Prince Fielder and Giancarlo Stanton are among several stars who slumped through the first half. Jose Bautista, Jason Heyward and Dallas Keuchel also have been shaky.

All over the majors, All-Stars who hav-en’t performed that way get 2½ months to return to form.

A big second half by Justin Upton could propel Detroit in the playoff chase, same for Yordano Ventura in KC and Adam Wainwright in St. Louis.

FLY, BALL, FLY: Giancarlo Stanton is done putting dents in the Western Metal Supply Co. building at Petco Park.

Time now for mere mortals to swing away.

Led by Patrick Reed, Americans rule again at Open Championship

TROON, Scotland (AP) — On a gorgeous, sunny day along the Scottish coast, the Americans resumed their domination of Royal Troon.

Patrick Reed took advan-tage of the benign condi-tions Thursday to start the British Open with a 5-under 66, leaving him one stroke ahead of Justin Thomas and 49-year-old Steve Stricker.

Reed got his round going by holing out from 139 yards at the par-4 third hole for eagle. That sparked him to

a 5-under 31 on the much easier outward nine, which generally plays downwind and was especially ripe for going low on this day.

On the return leg, playing tougher holes into the wind, it was all about survival.

Reed managed to shoot even par coming in and had no complaints. Asked to describe the difference between the two nines, he replied, “David vs. Goliath.”

After a week dominated by who is — and, more notably, isn’t — going to Rio next month for the first Olympic tournament in 112 years, it

was finally time to put the focus on the sport’s oldest major championship.

As usual, the Americans were having their way at Royal Troon, where the last six winners going back to Arnold Palmer in 1962 have been from the U.S.

“I’ve heard that stat as well, but honestly with how competition is these days, it doesn’t really matter where you’re from or anything like that,” Reed said. “You have to be on your game, you have to stick to your game plan. I think the main thing is to stay with my game

plan because the odds of me going out and eagling 3 right out of the gates again, to go and hole out, it’s rare.”

Then again, the 25-year-old Reed certainly doesn’t lack for confidence. Two years ago, he raised plenty of eyebrows by declaring himself to be one of the top five players in the world. That same year, he seemed to thrive on the heckling he received during the Ryder Cup in Scotland.

But Reed has yet to live up to his boasting, leaving him clearly on the outside of a Fab Four that includes

Jason Day, Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy. They’ve won six of the last eight major champi-onships and were on nearly everyone’s list of favorites coming into the week.

“It doesn’t really matter to me. I’m not the one that’s writing the articles or doing anything,” Reed said. “At the end of the day all I can control is what I do and how I play the game. Honestly, for me, I don’t mind flying underneath the radar.”

McIlroy, who won at Hoylake in 2014 but didn’t play in last year’s Open

because of an ankle injury he sustained playing soccer with his buddies, got off to a solid start with a 69. He is seeking his fifth major title.

Spieth opened with a 71, one year after his bid for an unprecedented Grand Slam was denied when he missed out on a playoff at St. Andrews by one stroke after winning the Masters and the U.S. Open. Day, the world’s top-ranked player and reigning PGA champi-on, struggled to a 73.

Coming off his first major title at the U.S. Open, Johnson had a late tee time.

Don Cherry slams Remigio Pereira for embarrassing Canadians

TORONTO (AP) — The Tenors’ rendition of O Canada at the baseball All-Star Game got Don Cherry’s attention Wednesday as the hockey commentator slammed group member Remigio Pereira for embarrassing Canadians with his altered and political-ly charged lyrics. Pereira changed a line in the anthem to “We’re all brothers and sisters, all lives matter to the great.” The normal lyric is “With glowing hearts we see thee rise, the True North strong and free.”

The Tenors issued an apology after the performance, saying Pereira acted as a “lone wolf” and will not be performing with the group “until further notice.” In an inter-view Wednesday evening with the CBC, two of the other members of the group, Fraser Walters and Victor Micallef, said they were shocked by what happened.

“I don’t think we can see ourselves per-forming with Remigio again,” Walters said.

The fallout continued Wednesday for Pereira, who had a show at a London, Ontario, theater canceled.

He was to perform with guitarist Pavlo in late September at the Aeolian Hall, but the venue said it’s “an organization which embraces diversity” and would not “present or allow groups or individuals to use our facilities who either intentionally or unin-tentionally promote racism.”

Cherry was offended by the change of lyr-ics.

“Oh well, all the left wing weirdos in this country are happy,” Cherry said.

As for The Tenors, Cherry let the Canadian group off easy, except for the American-born Pereira.

Omarr’s Daily Astrological Forecast Jeraldine Saunders

BIRTHDAY GAL: Actress Lana Parrilla was born in Brooklyn, N.Y., today in 1977. This birthday gal has starred as Regina Mills on “Once Upon A Time” since 2011. She also played Angie Ordonez on “Spin City” and Sarah Gavin on “24.” On the big screen, Parrilla’s film work includes “One Last Ride,” “Frozen Stars,” and “Spiders.” Parrilla is the daughter of former Major Leaguer Sam Parrilla and is the niece of actress Candice Azzara.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Rock on. You can do just about anything that you set your mind to doing. People will enjoy provocative re-marks and forgive shocking behavior that usually trig-gers disapproval. Focus on better financial security.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Keep long-term goals firmly in mind and don’t be detoured by an attractive passing fancy. Too much so-cializing can interfere with a work project. Find ways to diplomatically escape from unwanted attentions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Fundraising can be fun. This might be a good time to ask for favors or to make a crucial decision about an investment. Your future prosperity can be altered for the better by the steps you take during the next few days.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Success is within your grasp. An exhilarating mood can brighten your prospects. Maintain a pos-itive vision for the future and don’t be worried. Help-

ful companions can provide ideas to improve finances.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You might get by on your charm and good looks alone. You may have better judgment than you think. You possess a dynamic energy that you can apply to constructive activities. Start something worthwhile right now.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Diamonds are forever. It is far better to have one piece of really good jewelry than many pieces of dime store fakes. Casual flirtations could waste your time when having a committed and lasting love is in your heart.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If you remain sincere and open everything will work out just fine. One-on-one relationships might remain tense for another day. Don’t

push important issues or tempt fate by trying to come to an agreement.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Personal power is at your fingertips. You could feel you possess a godlike ability to alter circum-stances. You may be at your brilliant best wherever ob-jective analysis is required or when dealing with tech-nology.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Play the part of the diplomat. New acquain-tances could test your abil-ities so act professionally even in the most unconven-tional places. A big payoff could come from someone who admires your skills.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Be a straight shooter and outflank the opposition. Spend time with your favor-

ite special someone or with a friend who needs support. You can make a marvelous change of pace into a per-manent arrangement.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Brainstorming sessions can result in advancement. You are likely to receive credit and support for your ideas. You may be espe-cially fortunate with plans for a money making project or a joint financial venture.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The latest fad or mo-mentous meme might give you the edge in your work or career. You can absorb new ideas like a sponge so use this time to pick up a helpful skill. Don’t indulge your taste for luxury items today.

IF JULY 15 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Maintain

harmony both in the world around you and in your personal consciousness as the next six to eight weeks go by. You could become the apple of someone’s eye in August or early Septem-ber. Your charisma is at a high point so that is a good time to interview for jobs or apply for a change of position. Your ambitions, wants, and needs may grow in scope and intensity es-pecially in September. You could become passionately involved in something that devours your time and forces you to be ruthlessly competitive. Don’t forget the people who love you and avoid taking drastic mea-sures.

Hints from Heloise Heloise

Dear Readers: It’s time for sum-mer fun, sports, games and outings. Many peo-ple use a

bag of frozen peas as an ICE PACK for an “owie,” but here is something better:

The Heloise update: Make your own ice pack, and have it at the ready for the inevi-table bumps and bruises!

This homemade ice pack will get cold but won’t freeze solid. It’ll manipulate to fit around arms, legs, knees and shoulders.

Put 1 part rubbing alcohol to 3 parts water in a zip-pered freezer bag, and add a drop or two of food coloring as a reminder that it is NOT edible. Place into a second bag, CLEARLY LABEL it and put it in the freezer. It turns into a slushy mix-ture. Wrap the bag in a thin towel, then place on the af-fected area for short periods of time.

Labeling the bag and coloring its contents are extremely important. -- Hel-oise

CLEAR COMMUNICA-

TIONDear Heloise: I have a

hearing problem. When people left a “call-back number” on my answering machine, I had trouble deci-phering the number.

My daughter suggested a new message: “For a call-back, please say your number slowly, and say it twice.” I now understand every message. -- Lois V., Centerville, Ohio

GENTLE CAREDear Heloise: A gentle,

important reminder for nurses, aides and caregivers is to return bedside tray ta-bles alongside -- or in front of -- their patient or loved one.

These tables contain nec-essary items -- e.g., tissues, water, remote control, writing implements and the phone. -- Karen E., Bloom-field, N.J.

PROTECT ANIMALSDear Heloise: When I buy

soda pop in cans, it usually is held together by plastic. I cut the plastic into small pieces so no animals will get caught in it. I read your nice column daily. -- Hilda C., Hamilton, Ohio

Hilda, thank you for the reminder! I hope my read-ers pay attention. The plas-

tic rings can harm and kill wildlife, as well as stray an-imals. Please take a few sec-onds to cut the rings before putting them in the garbage or recycle bin. -- Heloise

RECYCLEDear Heloise: Another

use for the window cleaner for outdoors (that attaches to the garden hose): When it is empty, refill with CAR WASH. I do use a sponge after spraying an area, then rinse. -- Martha B., via email

DOUBLE BAGGINGDear Heloise: At our

self-service register at the grocery store, I put my groceries in a paper bag, which I then put in a plas-tic bag with handles. This is more secure when the bag is heavy to carry. The keeps the bag clean, too, so I can reuse it. -- Marie C., Cheshire, Conn.

SIGN OF THE TIMESDear Heloise: People

should sign their full name when sending sympathy cards. There are many Georges, Bettys, Bills, etc. -- Althea S., Leavittsburg, Ohio

Dear Althea: Your re-minder is a very important one, especially during sad and stressful times. -- Hugs, Heloise

Bridge Phillip Alder

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “The foolish man wonders at the unusual, but the wise man at the usual.”

The unfoolish bridge player wonders at the un-usual and the usual. But today’s article features Unusual versus Unusual.

Your partner opens one of a major, and the next player overcalls two no-trump, the Unusual No-trump show-ing at least 5-5 in the minors. Then, it would be foolish for the responder’s bids of three clubs and three dia-monds to be natural. Instead, many pairs play that a three-club cue-bid keys to hearts and three diamonds to spades. If partner opened one heart, three clubs promises at least game-in-vitational values in hearts. (Instead, a three-heart response shows the val-ues for a single raise.) Also, three dia-monds indicates at least game-forcing values with five-plus spades. (Instead, a three-spade response is game-invi-tational but nonforcing.)

This worked very well in today’s deal. North’s three-club response showed game-forcing values with five or more hearts. Then, after South jumped to game, North, buoyed by the double fit in the majors, used Blackwood before signing off in six hearts. After West led the diamond king, what did declarer do?

South had no trouble taking 12 tricks. He won the first trick with dummy’s diamond ace, drew trumps,

ran the spades (including a finesse of his nine against East’s 10), discarding two di-amonds from the board, and conceded one trick to the club ace.

Note that six hearts by North fails if East leads a spade, and six spades by South goes down if West leads a diamond.

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.

DEAR ABBY Pauline Phillips and Jeanne Phillips

The Hackademy Awards (now called Breathe Teen Choice Awards) are given for smoking in films. In 2015, Bill Murray won for the PG-13 rated “St. Vincent,” in which he puffed and puffed around kids. Seems 38 percent of

PG-13 movies feature smok-ing (often, a lot!).

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that making an R-rating man-datory for any movie with smoking would reduce the number of teen smokers by 18 percent and prevent 1 million deaths from smoking among children alive today!

We hope they start count-ing the number of times e-cigs get fired up too (there’s Johnny Depp in “The Tourist,” John Cusack in “Maps to the Stars” and Zac Efron in “Bad Neighbor”). Just as cigarette smoking in movies leads kids to start smoking, we think vaping on the silver screen does too. And according to a new study, teens who vape are six times more likely to smoke

cigarettes later on than kids who never vape. A 2015 CDC survey of over 15,000 high-schoolers found that 24 percent had used an e-ciga-rette in the past 30 days. That means an enormous amount of teens are on the road to becoming tobacco smokers!

So if your teen thinks vap-ing is cool and harmless, explain just how risky it can be. You sure wouldn’t ignore cigarette smoking if he or she did that; don’t ignore vaping either.

WEDDING GUESTS ARE PERPLEXED BY TOASTS THAT TURN TO ROASTS

DEAR ABBY: We have been attending the weddings of our friends’ children and work colleagues. We enjoy them, but we have noticed a change in some of the traditions.

The best man’s and maid of honor’s toasts to the bride and groom seem to have devolved into telling stories about their past esca-pades. This includes tales of all-night partying, how drunk they were, other embarrass-ing incidents and “digs” at the bride and groom. Some of these speeches can go on for more than 10 minutes!

Abby, many guests attend-ing these celebrations really don’t care to hear these kinds of things. I’m sure the cou-ple’s new boss or their grand-parents are quite shocked

at some of the revelations they hear. Has this occasion turned into a roast? -- DON’T KNOW WHAT TO MAKE OF IT

DEAR DON’T KNOW: It appears that some of the weddings you have attended have. There are occasions when sometimes the less said the better, if only to protect the guilty, and this is one of them.

DEAR ABBY: I am a 22-year-old woman who enjoys achieving things in life. For example, I recently bought a house and paid for all the remodeling with my own money.

I have been with my boy-friend for seven years (on and off). He was my first boyfriend, first kiss, etc. and because of that, I have always felt a deep connection with him. My problem is he

doesn’t have goals for the future and just lives his life a day at a time. He’s comfort-able with his low-income job and doesn’t plan on going to school.

He moved into my house six months ago, which makes our relationship that much more serious. Something I absolutely adore about him is his loving nature. He drops whatever he is doing to be there for me emotionally, and everyone who meets him tells me how lucky I am to have found such a great guy.

My question is, should I stay with my loving, caring boyfriend or is it time to find someone with the same goals I have? -- CONFUSED IN FLORIDA

DEAR CONFUSED: Ask yourself which is more important to you -- a loving and emotionally supportive spouse or a hard worker who may be less so. Only you can decide the answer to that question.

DEAR ABBY: I am the mom of three wonderful lit-tle girls, but as of late not so wonderful. My husband and I work hard to teach them manners and respect, but we can’t seem to get across to them to be grateful for what they have.

We don’t have a lot of money because we live on one income, and we don’t spoil them often because we can’t afford to. Twice now, one of my girls has been unhappy with a gift she received. The first one she threw away; the second she refused to even accept! This isn’t how we raised her.

I thought about doing some volunteer work with them, but I fear they are too young for it (4, 7 and 9). I want to raise kind, caring and giv-ing girls. Your thoughts on this matter would be great. -- GRATEFUL MOM IN COLORADO

DEAR GRATEFUL MOM: Your 7- and 9-year-olds are NOT too young to learn that many children have far less than they do. Sometimes people need to see with their own eyes the challenges that others have to cope with in order to appreciate how for-tunate they are. I think your idea of having them do some volunteer work with you is an excellent one, and it is not too early to start.

Football player tells cops: I was punched by Draymond Green

DETROIT (AP) — Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green struck a Michigan State football player in the jaw during a weekend confrontation near campus, tried to apologize and then had to sit in jail for a while until he could sober up, according to a police report released Wednesday.

Senior cornerback Jermaine Edmondson — who the school announced Wednesday night has received his release to trans-fer — claimed he was punched by Green early Sunday outside a restaurant in East Lansing, though officers patrolling the area said they saw or heard a loud, open-handed “slap.”

Edmondson said it was his second con-frontation with Green, a former Michigan State player, in two nights. He told police that he and his girlfriend were choked Friday night by men who were with Green at Rick’s, a bar near campus.

He said he spotted Green the next night and tried to talk to him, according to the police report released to The Associated Press.

“I walk over and I tell Draymond that last night wasn’t cool,” Edmondson, who is from Canton, Ohio, said in an email to police. “As he responded to me he began to poke me on my shoulder and I tell him that he doesn’t need to put his hands on me, we can just talk. As I started to talk again, boom, I’m punched in my jaw.”

He said he had a headache and pain in his neck and jaw.

Green was arrested and taken to the East Lansing jail where he had a blood-alcohol level of 0.10, police said. He was released when sober.

Green said “he was sorry for slapping the subject and wanted to speak with him to make things right,” Officer Jeff Horn wrote.

On Wednesday night, Michigan State said in a release that Edmondson was given his release and has decided to play his final col-lege season elsewhere. The announcement from the athletic department included no mention of the alleged altercation between Edmondson and Green.

“In discussions with Jermaine Edmondson following spring practice and

in the weeks thereafter, it became clear that Jermaine wanted to play a larger role on the team,” coach Mark Dantonio said in a statement. “After consulting with him in the summer, he felt it was in his best inter-est to finish his playing career elsewhere.”

Edmondson had 24 tackles last season. He was listed as a third stringer on Michigan State’s spring depth chart.

If convicted of misdemeanor assault and battery, Green could face 93 days in jail, a $500 fine or both.

“My legal team is handling it. It will be resolved really quickly,” Green said Tuesday in Aspen, Colorado. “As a public figure, I just can’t put myself in certain sit-uations. It’s something that I’ll learn from and move on.”

OUTDOORSThese boots are made for walkin’

Yee-haw! For many Sheridan locals, Rodeo Week means hosting a group of out-of-town friends and family. With guests of all ages, it’s fun to

get creative and show off some of the wonder-ful summer activities Sheridan has to offer.

With weather like this and several great hiking options close to town, many peo-ple choose to hit the trails between activ-ities or for a break from the crowds.

If the whole gang came prepared with outdoor gear, great! If not, here’s an intro-ductory shoe guide to help keep their blisters at bay during

your excursions.For any outdoor trip, it’s good to plan

ahead and prepare, and that’s also the first step in picking out a great shoe. Here are some questions you might consider answering before heading to the shoe store: What’s the distance of the hike? What’s the terrain like? How fast will you be going (walking, hiking, jogging)? Will you be carrying a pack? If so, how heavy will it be? Are you hiking on a man-made trail or making your way across the backcountry? Will there be creek crossings, mud or heavy rain? Many hiking and trail shoes fall into three categories: waterproof, non-water-proof and trail runners.

Waterproof shoes usually have Durable Water Resistant (DWR) coating, Gore-Tex or other waterproofing agents that are specifically engineered to be waterproof, windproof and breathable. These shoes would work well for Soldier Ridge Trail in the spring, for example, where there can be sections of mud and water in the drainage. Waterproof boats would also be useful for a slow and steady pace (multi-day pack trips) or in scenarios with heavy rain.

If you’re worried about water, gaiters are another great option when trying to

prevent outside water from getting in. They can be attached to any type of shoe and are useful year round. On a hot, dry summer day they can protect you from sun and dust!

Non-waterproof shoes are usually the cheaper option compared to their water-proof counterparts, because they lack the cost of extra materials. Interestingly, many people believe that they perform equally well and even better in some scenarios because of their higher level of breathability. Many non-waterproof shoes have areas of mesh, which means moisture can easily get out, but it can also easily get in. Keep this in mind if you’re forging a river or the forecast predicts cold and damp conditions.

Trail running shoes are lightweight options for faster paced trips where you need agility and high breathability. Despite the name, trail running shoes aren’t just for runners and can be a great option for summer day hikes. Of the three categories, trail runners are the most versatile. You can use them on natural surface trails (e.g. Red Grade Trails), gravel roads or in-town jaunts. If you don’t mind the extra cost, they also come in Gore-Tex options. Keep in mind

that trail runners usually have the least ankle support so aren’t recommended for backpacking.

Don’t forget the socks! Merino wool or a breathable, synthetic blend is your best bet for any type of hiking or trail running. The fibers will wick moisture away from your skin and toward your breathable shoe fabric to evaporate. This will help reduce blisters and foot odor. In contrast, we’ve all heard the warning: Cotton kills! Cotton traps moisture next to your skin, keeping things soggy and smelly. What’s worse, this can quickly lead to blisters in any season and frostbite in cold tempera-tures.

This is just the tip of the iceberg, but knowing a little more about each style might help you and your guests have an ideal outing this summer. Luckily, Sheridan has several awesome shoe stores with knowledgeable staff who can help you find your perfect fit! Check out Foot of the Bighorns, Brian’s Boots and Rocky Mountain Discount Sports. See you downtown and on the trails!

Cody police rescue ducklings from

storm drainCODY (AP) — Police in Wyoming have res-

cued five ducklings that became trapped in a storm drain.

KTWO-TV reported that Cody police were called Tuesday afternoon about a distressed mallard duck. Officer Jennifer Morris quickly noticed that five ducklings were stuck inside the nearby storm drain.

Officers rescued all the ducklings with some help from the Cody Water Department. Police also spoke with the Wyoming Game & Fish organization, which agreed to let the animals out in a nearby wetland.

Wyo. beekeeper loses 500,000 bees in wildfire

GILLETTE (AP) — A Gillette beekeeper said he lost about 500,000 bees in a wildfire last month.

Gary Dawson said the fire that was sparked by lightning on June 24 destroyed 10 of his hives.

Dawson told the Gillette News Record that he estimates about $4,000 in damage.

Dawson is a coal miner by trade who start-ed beekeeping in 1994. He was working at the Black Thunder mine when he first heard about the fire, which eventually grew to more than 12,000 acres before being contained about five days later.

Dawson said he has anywhere between 150 and 200 hives scattered around Campbell and Crook counties.

He plans to replace the bees he lost.
