Local pipe organ oldest in Wyoming BY CHRISTINA SCHMIDT THE SHERIDAN PRESS SHERIDAN — It is a sound that you feel, more than you hear. If you are lucky enough to sit in the pews of one of several Sheridan area churches that are home to a pipe organ, then your Sunday services are surely improved with the addition of this amazing instrument. The complex, layered music that comes from a pipe organ can take the mood of a wedding, funeral or Sunday church service from mournful to joyful, and vice versa, in a matter of seconds. “When you hear the pipe organ and you are sitting out there singing, you feel it,” local organist Gary Bowers said. “I compare it to when you are at a parade and the band comes march- ing by; you can kind of feel that. Plus, in theory, they make it easier for people to sing. You are playing multi- ple pitches. That higher pitch helps them hear their note and some people find it easier to sing to.” Whether it helps you find your note, or for some us, drowns out the sound of us singing the wrong note, a pipe organ creates a special musical atmosphere when- ever it is played. Bowers has been playing organ on a full-time or part- time basis at First Congregational Church downtown since 1988. The organ is a Hutchings pipe organ that was installed in the church during the fall of 1913. BY ALISA BRANTZ THE SHERIDAN PRESS SHERIDAN — Every other year as November draws near, public spaces are once again filled with advertisements sup- porting candidates for one thing or anoth- er.

Many years, seated trustees rerun with- out opposition but in this year’s general election all boards except Sheridan County School District 3 have more names on the ballot than seats to fill.

Budget hearings and reviews are con- ducted to compile a preliminary budget that ensures the college is heading in a good financial direction. “We don’t do day-to-day stuff,” Sherwood said. “Instead of asking about the daily budget or particular items we look more at the budget annually and then a couple of our board members that are in the finance realms look closer at the actual day-to-day operations and if there is anything that they see that is of question they send it to the CFO and copy me on it so I’m aware there is an issue.” CHEYENNE (AP) — Wyoming won't need to put up as much money as originally thought to help a Colorado producer of ammunition magazines for guns move its manu- facturing operations to Cheyenne.

SHERIDAN — It is asound that you feel, morethan you hear. If you arelucky enough to sit in thepews of one of severalSheridan area churches thatare home to a pipe organ,then your Sunday servicesare surely improved withthe addition of this amazinginstrument.

The complex, layeredmusic that comes from apipe organ can take themood of a wedding, funeralor Sunday church servicefrom mournful to joyful, andvice versa, in a matter ofseconds.

“When you hear the pipeorgan and you are sittingout there singing, you feelit,” local organist GaryBowers said. “I compare itto when you are at a paradeand the band comes march-ing by; you can kind of feelthat. Plus, in theory, theymake it easier for people tosing. You are playing multi-ple pitches. That higherpitch helps them hear theirnote and some people find iteasier to sing to.”

Whether it helps you findyour note, or for some us,drowns out the sound of ussinging the wrong note, apipe organ creates a specialmusical atmosphere when-ever it is played.

Organist Gary Bowers has been playing this Hutchings Pipe Organ since 1988 at First Congregational Church in down-town Sheridan, Wyoming. The organ was installed in 1913, it was partially donated by Andrew Carnegie.

THE SHERIDAN PRESS | JUSTIN SHEELY

FROM 1

It cost $7,000 to purchase,with most of the moneyraised by one of thechurch’s women’s groups,and $1,500 of the cost donat-ed by Andrew Carnegie. It isunique in that it wasinstalled fully electrified,while other pipe organs inSheridan were not electri-fied until the 1950s.

“Just like with cars, thereare different levels of quali-ty for organs,” Bowersexplained. “They are madefor a specific job. Eachorgan is pretty muchunique, for the most part.Hutchings at the time wasconsidered the Cadillac oforgan builders at the turn ofthe century. This wasn’t arun-of-the-mill organ.”

According to a fact sheetprovided by the church,“Mr. Hutchings died in Juneof 1913, and his companysubsequently closed up in1917 which makes this oneof the last Hutchingsorgans. There are very fewHutchings organs in thewestern part of the UnitedStates. Because ofHutchings quality, unique-ness and scarcity, the pipeorgans they built areregarded as having signifi-cant historical value.”

Bowers said he is aware ofat least one other Hutchingsorgan still in regular use inour area, at a MasonicLodge in Helena, Montana.This “sister” organ wascommissioned for theConsistory Temple from theHutchings Company on Dec.21, 1914.

Sadly, many churches haveremoved pipe organs fromtheir churches over theyears and replaced themwith electric versions or noorgan at all. The OrganHistorical Society has esti-mated that only 50 pipeorgans remain in use inWyoming.

“Saint Peters EpiscopalChurch and the FirstPresbyterian Church are thetwo remaining pipe organsin Sheridan,” said Bowers,who has played on all ofthem. “They are thought tobe the oldest pipe organsstill in existence and play-ing in the state of Wyoming.That is based on research by

the Organ HistoricalSociety. There have beenother organs in this townthat they just decided toscrap or sell off. Luckilythese three churches havekept theirs.”

The sound an organ pro-duces is different than thatof a piano. On a piano, thepianist can control the vol-ume of the music by press-ing harder or lighter on thekeys to produce loud or softnotes. There are two ways tocontrol the sound on anorgan. Stops, which arecomponents the organistuses to admit pressurizedair into the pipes, can bepulled out to admit more airthrough more pipes andtherefore more sound tocome forth. The second wayis through an expressionpedal which is operated bythe organist’s foot. It opensand closes “shades” of theorgan to increase or damp-en the sound.

“The expression ‘pullingout all the stops,’ that camefrom a pipe organ, becauseif you pull out all the stopson an organ you have all thepipes playing,” Bowersnoted. “You wouldn’t nor-mally do that, but that iswhere the expression camefrom.”

Bowers said it is notunusual for a pipe organ tolast 100 years or more, ifthey are properly main-tained, noting there aresome in use in other areasof the world that were builtin the 1500s or 1600s. He saidthe three churches in

Sheridan share the cost ofprofessional maintenancethat is done twice a year bya company from Denver(with Bowers’ assistance).The same company hasbeen servicing at least FirstCongregational Church’sorgan since the 1930s.

“First of all, you have totune it,” he said, about themaintenance requirements.“As the temperature goes upand down, so does the tun-ing of the pipes. It is reallyimportant when you tune,that you tune for the aver-age temperature of thesanctuary on a Sundaymorning. That’s the goal. Ifthe sanctuary gets hotter,the sound gets sharper. As itgets colder the sound getsflatter. That’s because of theexpansion of metal. Youhave pipes from about thesize of a pencil to 16-feetlong, and so as the tempera-ture rises or lowers andthey go sharp or flat and asmall pipe is going to bemuch more sensitive to that.Then there are always littlethings on these instrumentsthat are 100 years old —there might be a switch thatisn’t right or an air valve isstuck or something likethat.”

In addition to fewerorgans, there are fewerorganists these days. Manyorganists start out on piano,which Bowers did, but scal-ing up to an organ can taketime and effort, as well as ahelpful instructor.

“I’ve just always had aninterest in it and one of mypiano teachers was anorganist so I learned a lotfrom her and I read a lot,”Bowers said. “The thing forme is, I am not afraid toexperiment with something.I just try random thingssometimes and see how itsounds. It is something Ienjoy doing.”

BUSINESS: $14.3M returnFROM 1

Under the original pack-age approved earlier thisyear, Magpul was to moveinto a renovated tempo-rary building in Cheyennethis year while a new,larger building was con-structed for the companyto permanently occupylater.

However, an existingbuilding that subsequent-ly came on the Cheyennemarket offers Magpul afacility of the size itrequires and eliminatesboth the need for a tempo-rary facility and construc-tion of a new building.

"It fits the short-termand long-term needs ofMagpul," Reese said.

Not only is the new plancheaper, but it will allowMagpul to get its opera-tions in Cheyenne up andrunning quicker, he said.

Magpul is expected to bein business in Cheyenneas soon as November. Itwill employ about 90workers.

"So it's a great win forthe state, a great win forLaramie County, a greatwin for Magpul

Industries," Reese said.As a result, the state will

invest $8.3 million, andCheyenne LEADS, thelocal economic develop-ment organization, willinvest $1.1 million to helpMagpul move.

Even though the $8.3million from the statecomes in the form of agrant, Magpul will repayabout $3.7 million.

"It's a grant that actslike a loan because theyare repaying a portion ofthat back to the state,"Reese said.

Cheyenne LEADS willget its money backthrough leasing and even-tually selling the buildingto Magpul.

When property taxesand other taxes that willbe paid by Magpul areincluded, the state andCheyenne LEADS are esti-mated to see a total returnof about $14.3 million ontheir combined nearly $9.5million investment after15 years.

"And so we're calculat-ing an internal rate ofreturn of almost 6.9 per-cent, which we feel isgood," Reese said.

Mead campaign nixes Gosar call for more debatesCHEYENNE (AP) — Democratic

gubernatorial candidate Pete Gosarcalled on Gov. Matt Mead on Thursdayto agree to five additional debatesbetween now and Election Day withthe questions to come from the publiclistening in online.

Mead’s campaign, however, rejectedthe idea.

Gosar held a press conference inCheyenne to say he believes the publicdeserves an opportunity to put ques-tions directly to him and Mead, aRepublican running for a second four-year term.

Gosar said he would welcome theparticipation of independents and

candidates from other parties.“It’s an ability that we have, and it’s

an opportunity we can’t pass up,”Gosar said of the possibility of onlinedebates. “Why wouldn’t we do that?”

Gosar, a pilot for the state who’staken a leave to campaign for gover-nor, said he’s encountered citizensaround Wyoming who have questionsabout state programs such as fundingfor health care.

Gosar said he’s not concerned thatfive debates in addition to the twoalready scheduled would be too muchto keep the public’s interest.

“I think if you take any questionany time, if you handle those ques-

tions that really are hard for eithermyself or Gov. Mead, then you makenews, and you give people a fairapproximation of who you are.”

Gale Geringer, Mead’s campaignmanager, said Mead only plans to par-ticipate in the two conventionaldebates already scheduled in Casperand Riverton.

“These two debates are designed toreach a statewide audience and to beaccessible to all voters, young andold,” Geringer said. “The governorbelieves these debates provide thebest opportunity for the most peopleto have access to the candidates andtheir positions on the issues.”

FROM 1

A strategic plan is alwaysin place and is reviewedannually by the board andadjustments are made asnecessary based on the lat-est research, needs and limi-tations of resources.

NWCCD trustee WalterWragge said a policy gover-nance board is uniquebecause it includes a set ofguiding principles.

“Policy governance allowsus to be visionary and tothink strategically,” Wraggesaid. “The policies that areestablished provide the sup-port to the mission of theinstitution while helping todefine the job results, prac-tices and expectations ofthe board.”

Wragge elaborated thatunder policy governance theboard does not micro-man-age the work of the institu-tions and they only haveone employee, the president,who is evaluated by theboard every October and istasked with employing theremaining employees of theinstitution.

In this way, the college dis-trict differs from the otherschool districts, which mustvote and approve the hiringand salaries of everyemployee, as well as majorexpenditures.

Sheridan County SchoolDistrict 2 Board of TrusteesVice Chairwoman AnnPerkins said her board’smain purpose is to overseethat every child in the dis-trict gets a quality educa-tion and that is done bymaking sound decisionsthat trickle down from thesuperintendent to his staffand below.

The school board has amuch more hands-on

approach to fiscal manage-ment, approving individualprojects, bids and proposalsthroughout the year.

“They (the administra-tors) do the legwork and thebackground work and thencome to us and ask forapproval,” she said. “Likewith capital construction,we just finished up HenryA. Coffeen, so our role wasto approve things as theycome up, approve bids andreally make sure we’re fis-cally aware and using ourfinancial resources to thebest of our ability.”

Perkins joined the boardfive years ago by applyingfor a mid-term vacancy andbeing appointed after shemoved to Sheridan with aschool-aged son. Sheattained her vice chair posi-tion by expressing interestand being approved by theboard. She explained thatthe time commitment fortrustees varies by the per-son and the position theyhold.

“You can spend as muchtime as you wanted,” shesaid. “Rich and Scott, whoare both past chairs, havededicated several hours perweek; for most of us it isseveral hours per month.”

The time commitmentrises at the higher educa-tion level, Sherwood said.

“My first year I was onlyon one committee andwasn’t an officer so it wasabout five hours a week,”she said. “These days it’sprobably no more than 15-20hours a week but dependson the persons on the boardand their interests. We arevery spoiled and we get invi-tations to a lot of events soif you wanted to spendoodles of time going to col-lege events you can, but you

don’t have to if you don’thave time.”

In addition to time spenton the board and at func-tions, the college boardsends trustees to nationaltrainings.

One thing that is not a reg-ular part of Sherwood’s jobis parent interaction,though she said she sus-pects at the grade-schoollevel trustees hear morefrom the community onwhat they do and don’t like.

While that is the case inSheridan County SchoolDistrict 1, where monthlyboard meetings are oftenstanding room only as par-ents and community mem-bers attend and interactwith trustees, Perkins saidthe parents of her districtare relatively hands off.

“We’d love to have moreparent participation,”Perkins said. “We oftendon’t get parents there (atmeetings) or even communi-ty members. We get someemails and calls but not asmany as you’d think.”

Despite the differencesbetween the boards, a fewcommonalities define educa-tion-focused trustees.

All school and collegeboard trustees are volun-teer: though some communi-ty college trustees aroundthe nation get paid, NWCCDtrustees do not.

All boards describe theirwork as year-round, thoughsummer is typically theslowest season.

Representatitves fromeach board said there is noone type of person orrequired experience to bean effective board member,as long as you have a pas-sion for education.

“One of the things I reallyappreciate about our board

is we have a variety of peo-ple,” Sherwood said. “Wehave persons who are ineducation, we have personswho are in business, wehave persons whom areretired, we have a nice vari-ety, so we have nice perspec-tives that represent the com-munity well.”

If in the end, the board isnot the right place for you,Perkins says just getinvolved somehow.

“I would say gettinginvolved in any level, goingto PTO meetings, volunteer-ing or whatever they can,you’ll feel like more of acommunity and moreinvolved,” she said.

And, of course, vote.

Adult obesity on the rise in WyomingCASPER (AP) — Adult obesity is back

on the rise after two years of decline inWyoming, where more than 1 in 4 adultsnow are significantly heavier than theyought to be, according to a new study.

The adult obesity rate in Wyomingincreased 3.2 percent from 2012 to 2013.Adult obesity has nearly doubled since1995 and now includes almost 28 percentof all adults in the state, according to theRobert Wood Johnson Foundation.

Wyoming is one of five states experi-encing a significant increase in obesity.

Many factors come into play but obesi-ty basically comes down to poor nutri-tion and not enough exercise, JoeGrandpre, a chronic disease epidemiolo-gist at the Wyoming Department ofHealth, told the Casper Star-Tribune.

Many people these days are workingmore, cooking less and relying on cheapfast food. With fast-food often nearing2,000 calories per meal, people can get anentire day’s worth of calories in one sit-ting, Grandpre said.

“Fast food is easy, it’s cheap, and it’severywhere,” he said. “Not only do youget your calories for the day in one meal,there isn’t a lot of nutrition in a lot ofthat stuff either.”

Next to smoking, he said, obesity is aleading cause of death in Wyoming.

Obesity is a leading contributor to

heart disease, heart attacks, diabetes,hypertension and orthopedic disabilities,said Dr. Bob Burr, an endocrinologist atWyoming Medical Center.

“If you could wave a magic wand andcould make obesity go away, the conse-quences for lowering mortality rateswould be substantial,” Burr said.

Wyoming has the 30th-highest adultobesity rate in the nation. Colorado hasthe lowest obesity rate in the U.S., with21.3 percent of its adults reporting bodymass indexes above 30 points.

“They’ve had the lowest obesity ratefor as long as we’ve kept track,” saidAnna Zajacova, associate professor ofsociology at the University of Wyoming.“The reason is the type of people whoimmigrate there. They are often highlyeducated people who come there for theactive lifestyle, which has been linked toa lower probability of obesity.”

She said Wyoming’s rate is fairly aver-age compared with that of similarWestern states.

‘Fast food is easy, it’s cheap, andit’s everywhere.’

LARAMIE (AP) — First-day enrollment for the fallsemester at the Universityof Wyoming is up nearly100 students from last year.

Preliminary numbersshow 12,713 students on thefirst day of classes.

A decline in UW OutreachSchool enrollment of 79 stu-dents from fall 2014 was off-set by an increase of 174students on the Laramiecampus.

Wyoming doctor:Wait for flu shot

CHEYENNE (AP) — Aninfectious disease specialistin Wyoming says early onin flu season isn’t the besttime to get a flu shot.

Dr. Mark Dowell ofCasper says people shouldwait until at least Octoberto get their shot. That waythey can be sure their shotremains effective through-out flu season.

Flu shots typically remainpotent for between four tosix months. Dowell tells theWyoming Tribune Eaglethat’s especially the case forpeople 65 and older.

Dowell is director ofinfection control atWyoming Medical Center inCasper. He says flu seasonin Wyoming typically peaks

after late December, whichis later than other parts ofthe country.

Remembering my favorite

titles

I’m not usually a fan ofsocial media posts that callon you, and then others, tomake lists. You know the

ones I’m talking about. “Listfive words that describe ourfriendship,” or “List the topfive most-played songs on your

iPod.”If that

wasn’tannoyingenough,they thenask you tolist 10friends thatwill do thesame.Before youknow it,yourFacebook

wall is overwhelmed withposts that include nothing butlists or inside jokes amongfriends. Who cares?

This week, a friend of minetagged me in one of thoselists. Surprisingly, though, Ididn’t mind. This list promptasked each of those who weretagged to list 10 books thathave stayed with us in someway. We weren’t supposed totake more than a few minutesto do it. The prompt empha-sized that there were no“right” books, just the onesthat affected us in some way.

I actually enjoyed the liststhat were posted. First of all,I’m a nerd, and the lists pro-vided me a means of collect-ing new titles to add to mybookshelves. Second, itallowed me to spend a littletime recalling some of thebest books I’ve read.

I didn’t post my list online,mostly because part of mefelt like I’d be betraying theside of me that hates them.But, I did take some notes andI did make a list. Here it is:

1. Means of War by PhilipCaputo

2. Acts of Faith by PhilipCaputo

3. The Polar Express byChris Van Allsburg

4. All of the Harry Potterbooks by J.K. Rowling

5. Eight Men Out: The BlackSox and the 1919 World Seriesby Eliot Asinof

6. Black Beauty by AnnaSewell

7. Peter Jennings: AReporter’s Life by KateDarnton

8. A Long Way Gone:Memoirs of a Boy Soldier byIshmael Beah

9. Unbroken by LauraHillenbrand

10. Art of Racing in theRain by Garth Stein

It’s a diverse list and I hopesomebody will pick up one ofthe books on my list and thor-oughly enjoy it. They cover abroad range of topics —everything from inspirationfor why I became a journalistto sappy books about dogsthat make me want to curl upwith my own four-legged palfor a cuddle.

Over the weekend, I plan toadd some of the books on oth-ers’ lists to my goodreads list.They’ll eventually end up onmy bookshelf in a long queueof other titles that have yet tobe read.

Congress' whopper of a messC

ustomers can be so demanding.

First they criticized fast-food joints overnutritional content. Now they're getting pickyabout tax and labor practices.

In recent weeks, consumers and commenta-tors have savaged BurgerKing over its plan to mergewith Tim Hortons, a movethat appears at least partlymotivated by tax avoidance.And on Thursday, BurgerKing, McDonald's and otherquick-service restaurantswere the targets of strikesand civil disobedience in150 cities across the UnitedStates as part of a nationalworker campaign for a $15hourly wage and the rightto bargain collectively.

Meanwhile, McDonald's is facing severalhigh-profile lawsuits over whether it shouldbe responsible for the wage theft and otherlabor law violations allegedly committed bysome of its franchisees.

The bad press has taken a toll on firms' rep-utations, with TV pundits arguing for boy-cotts and consumers unleashing their rage onthe chains' Facebook pages. YouGov, a compa-ny that tracks views of brands, has foundthat consumers have reported hearing sub-stantially more negative "buzz" (throughadvertising, news coverage or word ofmouth) about McDonald's and Burger King inrecent weeks. Survey respondents have alsobecome increasingly likely to say they wouldbe "embarrassed" to work for the companies.

It's unclear whether all this bad PR willtranslate to lower profits for the firms. True,in July, McDonald's had its worst decline inglobal same-store sales in over a decade. YetYouGov's polling still found that about two infive adults reported patronizing a Mickey-D'sin the previous month, while one in five wentto a Burger King -- pretty close to the averagerates over the previous 18 months. Maybeconsumers will put their money where theirmouth is, and maybe they won't.

Either way, I'd prefer to see consumerscarry more of their ire to the voting booth.When it comes to many of the tax and laborpolicies driving this bad PR, the firms them-selves aren't entirely at fault. I blameWashington, too.

On tax policy, Burger King would hardly bethe first major corporation to opt for a taxinversion; there have been 35 such cases since2009, according to S&P Capital IQ's GlobalMarkets Intelligence research team.

Why are all these firms engaging in compli-cated tax dodges like inversions? Becausethey are responding to the incentives our pol-icymakers have embedded in the tax code andcorporate governance law. A byzantine, loop-hole-riddled, high-statutory-rate tax codeencourages companies to construct byzan-tine, Rube-Goldberg-like tax strategies to min-imize their tax burdens. Our legislators havecreated a system in which it's easier to boostprofits through tax strategy innovation thanactual product innovation, and firms respondaccordingly.

Regarding labor practices, wage theft is aserious crime that should be punishable byjail time. If McDonald's did indeed commit orencourage labor law violations, as some of itsworkers allege, it should be held accountable.

But I understand why companies such asMcDonald's set wages for low-skilled workersat or near the legal minimum, given the race-to-the-bottom nature of the industry. It's hardfor companies to unilaterally take on higherlabor costs when they face such stiff competi-tion for low-price-point burgers, and whenthey have a fiduciary duty to their sharehold-ers to maximize profits. As with voluntarilypaying a higher-than-required tax bill, firmslike McDonald's and Burger King mightworry that raising wages to appease socialcritics could put them at risk of shareholderlawsuits.

All of which is to say that the main targetof consumer and worker agitation should notbe the companies, but Congress. It has thepower to simplify the tax code so that firmswon't invest so many resources in tax avoid-ance. Congress also has the power to raise theminimum wage from its pitiful level of $7.25per hour, which would even the playing fieldfor all companies that employ low-wage work-ers. The CEO of McDonald's, in a talk lastMay, even acknowledged that the companywould "be fine" if Congress raised the federalminimum wage for all firms, and thatMcDonald's "will support legislation thatmoves forward."

By all means, consumers, vote with yourwallets and support businesses that treattheir workers well and that you perceive to beeconomic "patriots." But don't expect thesecompanies to change their practices untilCongress makes doing so worth their while.

What happened to freedom of choice?Re: Keep fluoride out of water

Water fluoridation is a topic of concern for many in ourcommunity. I have read pros and cons. My primary con-cern regarding this issue is that we have not been given achoice. I believe that we have the right to decide.

A small group of people, elected officials, have made thechoice for us. I did not cast a ballot to elect these peoplewith the idea that they would have the right to decidewhich chemicals/medication I ingest. My understanding isthat this is being done to treat a dental/medical condition.In my mind that is medication.

Who will administer this medication? Are they med-ical/dental professionals?

Perhaps I am mistaken but I believe we still have rightsin the USA. What happened to freedom of choice?

Yes, I can choose not to drink the city water. Will the citypay for bottled water for me and my family or will theyreduce my water bill?

I heard the mayor state today (Sept. 4) on Public Pulsethat the City Council is not able to reverse their earlierdecision regarding fluoridation. Is that true? He also statedhe has spoken with people on both sides of this issue butonly states the opinions of those in favor of fluoridation.What did the other side have to say?

We have good clean water. Let’s keep it that way. If youwant fluoride, speak with your health care professional. Ifyou can’t afford that, you can get fluoride toothpaste at thedollar store for $1.

LETTER |

In a NATO state of mindS

peaking on Aug. 29 — at a fundraiser,of course — Barack Obama applied toa platitude the varnish of smartphonesociology, producing this intellectual

sunburst: "The truth of the matter is, is thatthe world has always been messy. In part,we're just noticing now because of socialmedia and our capacity to see in intimatedetail the hardships that people are goingthrough." So, if 14th- century Europeans had

had Facebook andTwitter, they would havenoticed how ) really dis-agreeable the HundredYears' War was.

Obama did have apiece of a point: Graphicjournalism, now aug-mented by billions ofpeople with cameras intheir pockets, can givean inflammatory imme-diacy to events. Hisintention was to dispelthe impression that the

world has become not just unusually"messy" but especially dangerous.Unfortunately, this impression derives notfrom social media static but from starkfacts, including this one:

A nation with nuclear weapons and bal-listic missiles is dismembering anothernation. And the nuclear power is gov-erned by an unconstrained despot fueledby a dangerous brew of disappointment,resentment and contempt.

Writing for The Federalist website, pro-fessor Tom Nichols of the Naval WarCollege describes Vladimir Putin as nei-ther a realist nor a nationalist but rathersomeone saturated with Soviet nostalgia.In 1975, Nichols writes, the world seemedto be going the Soviet Union's way.

Extraordinary U.S. exertions in Vietnamhad ended in defeat, a president hadresigned and the economy was sagginginto stagflation. "By contrast," Nicholssays, "the Soviets were at the top of theirgame," with a modernized military and anew generation of missiles: "The correla-tion of forces, the great wheel of Historyitself, was finally turning in their favor,"and because History's ratchet clicks onlyin a progressive direction, "it would neverturn back."

In 1975, Putin, 23, joined "the most eliteSoviet institution," the KGB, which wouldguarantee "he would be )somebody in thebrave new Soviet future." But in the 1980s,"he watched the Soviet descent to oblivionbegin, accelerate, and then end in a humil-iating wreck." Ronald Reagan, MargaretThatcher and a Polish pope ignited aWestern resurgence — military, economicand moral. By 1990, Putin was 38 andaggrieved. Today, "Putin's speeches andpublic utterances," Nichols notes, "tend toshow more nostalgia for his Soviet youththan his Russian adulthood." Remember"the explosion of bad taste and Sovietkitsch" in the 2014 Sochi Olympics.

A participant in NATO's 1949 foundingfamously said that the alliance's purposewas to protect Europe by keeping "theRussians out, the Americans in and theGermans down." When the Cold War,which prompted NATO's creation, ended,the alliance began to gingerly undertakewhat it calls "out-of-area operations," as inAfghanistan. Now, however, it is back toits original business of keeping Russianforces out of NATO members, which nowinclude Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, thelast two being contiguous to Russia.

If NATO's meeting in Wales was, as oneEuropean defense intellectual said, a

"credibility summit," it was at most asemi-success. The decision to augment byaround 4,000 an existing rapid responseforce of around 13,000 is a far cry fromPoland's request that 10,000 NATO troopsbe stationed with heavy weapons in thatcountry. Watching NATO flinch from this,Putin might reasonably conclude thatNATO is ambivalent about Article 5 (anattack on any member will be consideredan attack on all) and therefore wants itsmeans of responding to remain some dis-tance from where events might require aresponse.

Although ambiguity has its uses, aBritish diplomat of the early 20th century,Lord Curzon, reportedly advised that it isgenerally wise to know your own mindand make sure your adversary knows it,too. Putin might read NATO's mind inwhat Gideon Rachman of the FinancialTimes calls "the learned helplessness" ofAmerican allies who "have come to relyexcessively on the U.S. to guarantee theirsecurity."

Time was, Rachman writes, Americaaccounted for roughly half of NATO's mil-itary spending; now it accounts for about75 percent. Only four of NATO's 28 mem-bers (America, Britain, Estonia and penu-rious Greece) fulfill their obligation tospend at least 2 percent of GDP ondefense, and Britain may soon fall belowthat threshold as its army shrinks toabout 80,000, its smallest size since afterWaterloo (1815). As Putin casts a cold eyeon his enemies, he might reasonably inferfrom their atrophied military musclesthat they have palsied wills.

Education crucial

element ofsuicide

prevention

When the American artistRalph Barton killed him-self in 1931, he left a sui-cide note giving his ration-

ale in an attempt to explain to hisloved ones that in the midst of aseemingly good and full life, he hadchosen to die.

Those around him looked towardexternal causes like marital prob-lems, work difficulties, physicalillness or trouble with the law.

However, hespoke of affec-tion and appre-ciation for hislife and thosein it. The parthe could notescape washimself — hisinner turmoil,his internalpain and hismental healthimpairment.Those reasons,

those that are not readily observ-able to outsiders, can increase thesense of loneliness, isolation anddeep depression.

Recently, the topic of suicideamong individuals with “goodlives” has received a plethora ofmedia attention having includedRobin Williams, Lee ThompsonYoung and Mindy McCready toname only a few. The tragedy ofsuicide doesn’t affect only those offame and fortune, but too oftenthey touch the lives of local com-munity members, families andfriends. The most important riskfactor for suicide is mental illness,especially depression or bipolardisorder. When accompanied byalcohol or drug abuse, the riskonly increases.

People who are struggling withmental health issues are notalways easy to be with or to com-municate with. Supportive peoplein their lives can often be the tar-get of their depression, irritabilityand hopelessness. Those that careabout the individual the most canface the most resistance and befaced with significant efforts topush them away. When that hap-pens, the supporters need just asmuch encouragement, interven-tion, understanding and training.

Despite all of the negative fromloss and heartbreak, good cancome. For several years, peoplehave been working diligently toincrease the awareness of suicideprevention. Local physicians havebeen exposed to additional train-ing, mental health providers havebeen working in collaborationwith community members andindividuals seeking treatmenthave a variety of providers tochoose from. Warning signs of sui-cide are listed in schools, medicaloffices and often distributedthroughout the community. Theselists can often be utilized by sup-portive people in an individual’slife who may be struggling toassist them in seeking assessment,treatment and staying informed oftheir progress along the way.

On Sept. 2, Sheridan’s MayorJohn Heath proclaimed Sept. 8-14as Suicide Prevention Week. Thisis a huge step forward for those inour local communities who havebeen touched by the untimely lossof a loved one. It is another stepthat adds to the attention of pre-vention, a crucial element in theepidemic of suicide.

Resources are available in thecommunity, including, but not lim-ited to, on-call services throughNorthern Wyoming Mental HealthCenter, 674-4405. If you have anyquestions, concerns or simplywant to learn more about preven-tion, please reach out, especially ifyou are concerned about a friend,family or community member.

Chicago radio personality Roy Leonard dies at 83

CHICAGO (AP) — Longtime Chicago radioand TV personality Roy Leonard, who intro-duced listeners and viewers to some ofAmerica’s biggest celebrities as they werejust getting started, has died. He was 83.

Leonard was well known around theMidwest for his decades of talk radio, celebri-ty interviews and movie reviews on Chicago’sWGN Radio and TV, where he crafted animprovisational interview style around theart of listening and allowing a conversationto unfold.

“He always read the book before he saw themovie; he did his research, and then he let aconversation happen. He didn’t try to pre-planeverything,” said his son, Kelly Leonard.

Leonard died Thursday night at EvanstonHospital, north of Chicago, surrounded byhis six sons, their wives and several of hisgrandchildren, Kelly Leonard said.

Leonard’s three-decade run at WGN wasmarked by interviews with an array of enter-tainers, ranging from the mime MarcelMarceau to Tom Cruise.

He caught many of them as they were juststarting out, talking on location withChristopher Reeve about “Superman” andDustin Hoffman about making “Tootsie” in1982.

Kelly Leonard, executive vice president ofcomedy group The Second City, said his fami-ly’s dinner table often resembled his dad’sradio show, with discussions of music, poli-tics and culture and occasional appearancesby musicians and other entertainers them-selves.

Leonard was born in Redwood, Minnesota.He came from nothing, though he didn’t dwellon growing up poor, Kelly Leonard said.

According to his son, Leonard ran awayfrom home at 16 and ended up on the streets

of Boston, where he was taken in by a womanwho hired him to walk her dog and helpedhim through college.

He did some sports play-by-play and landedradio gigs. By 1967, he arrived at WGN, wherehe was reaching audiences around theMidwest. In 1985, he took over hosting thelong-running show “Family Classics,” whichaired films on TV.

Leonard had been in the hospital for severalweeks with respiratory and other health prob-lems, his son said. When it became clear hewould soon pass away, Leonard’s family gath-ered around him, listening to one of hisfavorite jazz artists, Dave Brubeck, on an iPadand waiting for a priest to give him last rites.

“Literally at the end of the prayer, my dadwent,” Kelly Leonard said. “He always knewhow to sign off. His timing was perfect.”

Veteran CBS, CNN newsman Bruce Morton dies at 83

He left CBS to join CNN in 1993. He retiredin 2006.

Morton was born in Norwalk, Connecticut,and grew up in Chicago. He got his start inthe news business while still a student atHarvard College, doing radio newscasts forBoston’s WORL.

FROM 1

Before the older residentsof Clearmont grew up, theyspent their childhood sum-mers stealing watermelonsfrom the same gardens andgetting yelled at by thesame, grumpy old neighbors— a point of remembrancefor several members of thenewly re-formed ClearmontHistorical Group who arenow approaching the age ofthe neighbors in their mem-ories from long ago.

There is always a “before”

that fades into the nextthing, then the next, until itreaches the present orbecomes only a photographin a family album, a news-paper clipping at the libraryor a snippet of story in theminds of the few whoremember.

But all those “befores” domatter, ClearmontHistorical Group memberTerri Foster said. Thosepeople, places, events andorganizations in the historyof a town have made thetown what it is today anddeserve to be preserved,even if it’s piece by tinypiece, as a town grows intothe ever changing future.

That is why the ClearmontHistorical Group, which wasoriginally formed in April1982, has re-formed. Thegroup meets twice monthly— once in Clearmont andonce in Sheridan to accom-modate residents who havemoved to the big city — andis currently working toestablish a museum inClearmont to preserve thehistory that can so quicklychange in small Wyomingtowns.

RRemember when

Business in a small townis not easy, as observable inthe local grocery store beinga different grocery storewhen we were a child, abank when our parentswere kids, a drug store visit-ed by our great-grandpar-ents, a hardware store, a liv-ery stable, a horse corral, anopen field.

Even now, businesses willopen, become part of thefabric of a town, and close afew years later when theowners face financial hard-ship or simply move on.

When the ClearmontHistorical Group first start-ed meeting again in April ofthis year, Foster had resi-dents write down the namesof businesses they remem-bered in Clearmont. Some ofthe more than 10 people whoare now attending the meet-ings wrote more thannames; they wrote stories inpencil on paper and gavethem to Foster to keep.

Carrol-Jean Greco(Layton) remembers whenher father, Dick Greco,opened the Ranger Bar inClearmont with FrankSnider after Prohibitionended. Dick eventuallybought Frank out and ranthe Ranger until 1950. OnSundays, Dick would gofishing and leave his girlsand their friends to sweepthe floor and clean the backbar.

Such chores can’t be donewithout music, so Carrol-

Jean and her friends talkedPete Bodle into tripping theNickelodeon so it wouldplay without inserting nick-els. From then on, Grecosaid the girls would removethe back and trip theNickelodeon 20-30 times,taking most the day to clean— and to dance.

Greco said the man whoowned the Nickelodeonwould come to check thenumber of songs played tothe amount of nickelsinserted, but it nevermatched up. Dick Grecoeventually had to purchasethe Nickelodeon to accom-modate his girls’ passion for

dancing.It is those stories about

those old places, nowchanged or now gone, thatFoster and the ClearmontHistorical Group are seek-ing — both for the museumand for a book they hope toproduce about the history oftheir town.

Incidentally, the RangerBar is the place the group isseeking to buy to establishits Clearmont Museum.

Pieces of the puzzle

The problem with preserv-ing the history of a place,especially a small town thathas intermittent newspapercoverage and intermittenthistorians documentingdaily life, is that history isnot presented in one neatpackage.

Foster and other membersof the Clearmont HistoricalGroup have spent the lastfive months poring throughold books, old newspapers,old photos, old courthouserecords, old yearbooks, oldletters and old tape-cassettesof recorded oral stories try-ing to piece together the his-tory of the buildings cur-rently in Clearmont and thebuildings no longer stand-ing.

They started with the listof businesses rememberedby group members. Thenthey went to The WyomingRoom at the SheridanCounty Fulmer PublicLibrary to search old “PolkDirectories” that list busi-ness names and owners inClearmont — but only until1950. They piece togetherwhich years which build-ings were used for whichpurposes.

They photocopy, cut andpaste into a binder adver-

tisements from oldClearmont High Schoolyearbooks. They scour TheClearmont Clown, the highschool newspaper fromwhen the Clearmont mascotwas a clown and not thepanther it is today.

They have obtained a mapof lots and blocks inClearmont from the CountyCourthouse and are using itto organize their research.If they can trace the historyof each lot from now back towhen the town began,they’ll have the story ofeach lot’s people, changes,trials and triumphs.

Foster said she has also

received several old photo-graphs — but many of themaren’t dated and peoplearen’t identified. She asksaround — ‘Does this personlook familiar? Do you knowthis woman?’ — and whenshe gets a name, a lead, shefinds an address and writesa letter to inquire.

It is Foster’s hope thateventually, someday, all thedusty pieces and names inthe puzzle of Clearmont’shistory will fit together. Inthe meantime, though, theprocess of finding thosepieces of the puzzle willcontinue and will, hopefully,be on display in a newmuseum.

Foster and other groupmembers are in the processof writing a grant to buythe Ranger Bar and turn itinto a museum that willinclude historical displays— with 90 years of photosand artifacts from theClearmont Women’s Club,old silent movie tickets fromthe old theater, snippets ofchurch history and more —as well as a research area, acomputer and a space forchecker tournaments andother historic pastimes.

Once the grant is written,County GrantsAdministrator Mike Mackeywill help submit it to rele-vant granting agencies.Other grants may be pur-sued for renovations and theprocess of cataloguing allthe history that is found.

But for now, theClearmont Historical Groupwill continue to gathernames, stories and pieces ofhistory, and it welcomes anyhelp anyone can offer.

As Foster said: “I’m sur-prised how many histori-ans, I call them historians,are coming out of the wood-work.”

SHERIDAN — In the toy world, Mega Blocks arethe knockoff Legos that kids complain aboutwhen their parents buy them because they justdon’t stack like their famous counterpart.

The Lady Generals (6-2) opened the SheridanCollege Volleyball Tournament with a matchupagainst Lake Region (N.D.) State College onFriday.

After jumping to an early 6-1 lead in the firstset, a timeout by Lake Region coach, BrigitteFreschette, didn’t slow down the Generals. Somenice blocking by the Jernigan twins, Paige andHannah, and a service ace for the final point byHannah Casebolt, gave Sheridan the easy 25-11

win.The Royals put a little more pressure on the

Lady Generals in the second set, but Sheridanfought back for a 25-19 victory.

After trailing 9-11 early, Sheridan coachJennifer Stadler called a timeout that led to fivestraight points for her squad out of the break,and they didn’t trail again the rest of the night.

The final set was more similar to the first setthan the second, with the Lady Generals jumpingto a quick 7-1 lead. The Royals called anothertimeout to try and stop the bleeding, but morespikes and blocks by the overpowering Sheridanfront line were too much for the visiting team.

The Lady Generals coasted to a 25-9 victory inthe set to win the match, 3-0. The victory is theirthird in a row and sixth on the season.

Paige Jernigan had seven kills and five assistedblocks for the Generals. Jill Espeland had 14 digsand Casebolt had 13 assists and three aces.

SHERIDAN — It was more ofthe same for the SheridanBroncs in their second footballgame of the season.

Although the Broncs were onthe road at Kelly Walsh Fridaynight, they cruised to a 48-7 vic-tory against the preseasonnumber-five team in 4A.

On their way to a 49-6 blowoutwin over Laramie a week ago,the Broncs took a 23-0 lead intohalftime. Last night, it was a 28-0 lead at the midway point.

But it took a forced turnoverto get the Broncs going.

After Sheridan went threeand out on their opening drive,Kelly Walsh marched into thered zone, but an interception inthe end zone by Joe Shassetzswung the momentum in thedirection of the visiting Broncs.

Sheridan took the ensuingpossession 80 yards for a touch-down, a one-yard run by RileySessions.

From then on, it wasSheridan all the way. Two EvanCoon rushing touchdowns andanother by Dontae Crowthrough the air gave the Broncsthe 28-point halftime lead.

Coach Don Julian said it wasanother step in the right direc-tion for his football team. Aftercommitting 11 penalties in theirseason opener, the Broncs cutthat number down by nearly 75percent this week.

“We really cleaned up themental stuff,” Julian said. “Ithought Kelly Walsh was amuch tougher opponent thanwe faced last week, so it wasanother step forward for us.”

While last week’s win was alittle more run-dominant, theoffense was almost perfectlybalanced on Friday.Quarterback Blake Godwinthrew for 182 yards, while theBroncs’ running backs carriedfor 180 yards at 5.9 yards acarry. The rushing attack wasled by Coon, who carried theball 15 times for 110 yards andthree touchdowns.

Although they weren’t in direneed of points in the secondhalf, the Broncs added threemore scores after the break,just for good measure. The mostnotable of the three came on atwo-yard rush from Coon afterthe Sheridan defense recovereda fumble on a poor Kelly Walshpitch.

“Our defense really steppedup,” Julian said. “We turnedthe ball over twice, and ouroffense was able to score touch-downs on both of them.”

The Broncs will bring their 2-0 record back home for amatchup with Evanston at 6p.m. Friday.

Big Horn Rams blowout Lovell, look forwardto first game under home field lights

BY KENDRA COUSINEAUTHE SHERIDAN PRESS

LOVELL — It was a blowout in Lovell last nightas the Big Horn Rams crushed the Bulldogs 25-0.

“The story of the night was our defense,” coachMike McGuire said. “We forced three turnovers,and we did a good job of stopping their run gameand forcing them to throw.”

It was a slow start to the game, but after thefirst quarter the Rams literally got their feetunder them.

Carey Powers put the first points on the boardfor the Rams with an eight-yard run in the secondquarter. After the first missed PAT out of three,

Carey Powers found himself in the end zoneagain on a three-yard run.

Before the half, Powers forced the Lovell offenseto fumble, giving Garrett Allen around a 20-yardreturn. With the third missed PAT, it sent theRams into halftime up 18-0.

In the third quarter, quarterback Collin Powersthrew a 20-yard touchdown pass to ChristianMayer, and then it was all defense for the rest ofthe night.

Powers was 7/17 and had one touchdown andone interception for the night.

The Rams are at home on Friday, hostingLyman under their new lights.

OTTAWA (AP) — B.C. quar-terback Travis Lulay re-injured his right shoulder latein the Lions’ 7-6 victory overthe Ottawa Redblacks onFriday night in the CanadianFootball League.

The former Montana Statestar was making his first startsince injuring his throwingshoulder in a goal-line colli-sion last September. He wasn’tavailable for comment afterthe game.

“He’s being evaluated by thedoctors,” Lions coach MikeBenevides said. “We’ll find outmore as the night goes on.”

Lulay completed 18 of 27passes for 167 yards and ranfor 50 yards on five carries.

“Honestly, my heart sunkinto my stomach,” Lions run-ning back Andrew Harrissaid. “You know, a guy thatbattled back so hard and tojust go out like that ... hedidn’t really get hit, the balljust slipped out. It’s justtough. He works so hard, playswith so much heart, and youcan just definitely tell he feltthe same kind of feeling hefelt before.”

Lulay had offseason surgeryon the shoulder and startedthe season on the six-gameinjured list. He dressed theprevious three games as abackup, seeing action late inthe last two.

SHS cross country teams place in top third at Billings Invite

BILLINGS, Mont. — The Sheridan High School crosscountry team had all four teams — boys and girls varsityand junior varsity — place in the top third out of nearly 30teams that competed at the Billings Invite Friday.

“We did good,” coach Art Baures said. Boys varsity placed sixth, girls varsity placed 10th, boys

junior varsity placed sixth and girls junior varsity placedfourth.

While all the runners ran well, Baures called out a few

top placers. Xiomara Robinson took ninth for varsity girls out of 138

total racers with a time of 19:12 in the 3-mile course. Herteammate Janika Sweeney took 18th with a time of 19:51.

Boys varsity runner Taylor Bruso took ninth out of 168competitors with his time of 16:16, and varsity runnerMicah Sweeney came in close behind at 17th with a time of16:31.

Baures said Bruso and Sweeney ran close last weekend,as well, which is always fun.

The team will continue to work on keeping its runnerscloser together this week as it prepares for its hometownrace at the Sheridan VA Medical Center next Saturday forthe Michelle Ludwig Invite. Baures said keeping the SHSBronc and Lady Bronc runners spaced more closelytogether will be key to improvement.

DEAR ABBYPauline Phillips and Jeanne Phillips

Tired of sneezing, conges-tion and itchy, watery, redeyes? This year, seasonalallergies just won't quit. Firstcame the Pollen Vortex, lastspring's double-headerrelease of tree and grasspollen that created tissue-clutching misery for mil-lions. Now pollen countersfrom Texas and Minnesota toNew Jersey are warning thatragweed, the nondescriptroadside plant that makesone in four Americanssneeze, is emerging ahead ofschedule across the nation.

A single ragweed plant canrelease up to one millionpollen grains a day; a prolificplant can hurl one billioninto the air during ragweedseason, which lasts until thefirst frost. Ragweed pollengrains are tiny microscopicspheres covered with sharppoints. Inhaled, they wreakmacro-havoc for millions ofpeople, and they're tough tododge. This light, dry pollencan breeze along for dis-tances up to 400 miles! Andragweed's having a big year.Because of this summer'sunusually cool temperatures,ragweed flowered earlierthan usual, while globalwarming trends have pushedfall frost dates further backinto the year. According tothe U.S. EnvironmentalProtection Agency, ragweedseason is projected to be upto four weeks longer thanusual. And that's nothing tosneeze at. (Well, yes it is!)

But don't grab that antihis-tamine yet. We said it wastough -- but not impossible --to avoid the pollen that trig-gers your symptoms.Avoidance is your first line of

defense, so try these steps: Know when pollen's at its

worst. In general, daytimepollen levels are highestbetween 10 a.m. and 5 p.m.,especially when it's dry,warm and breezy. Knowingthe pollen count for your areakeeps you a step ahead of thesneezes.

For detailed, local, pollenforecast information, checkout these reliable onlinesources and smartphoneapps: The National AllergyBureau (www.aaaai.org;search for "pollen");weather.com's PollenCast;and accuweather.com.

Exercise indoors whenpollen levels are high. Athome, dust off the treadmillor take the exercise bike for aspin. You also can hit thegym or walk the mall on dayswhen the air outdoors is fullof pollen. Outdoor allergiesare no reason to skip yourdaily workout.

Stop pollen at the door.Ragweed pollen (thosespiked, airborne sneeze-balls)stage home invasions byclinging to your clothes,shoes, hair, skin and evenyour pet's fur. Change clotheswhen you come indoors. Takea shower and wash your hair.Wipe down or brush off anyoutdoor pets before lettingthem inside.

Condition your air.Running the AC on recircu-late filters up to 90 percent ofpollen from the air.

Don't forget your eyes.When pollen counts soar,wear sunglasses to protectyour eyes. Pick a pair withlarge or wrap-around lensesfor best protection. If youhave to mow the lawn and do

gardening, take along apollen mask, too.

Use your car aspollen shelter. To filter theair either hit the AC or justrecirculate if there's a chilloutside. Now you're gettingsomewhere.

Write yourself astress-less Rx. Allergies notonly cause anxiety, they canamplify any stressful situa-tion, say researchers fromOhio State University. In onestudy, they noted how allergicreactions boosted the numberof stressful flare-ups volun-teers experienced. In another,people with seasonal aller-gies had reactions that were75 percent stronger whenthey were tense. Practicing astress-management tech-nique, whether it's progres-sive muscle relaxation, yogaor mindful meditation, willhelp.

If the "allergen avoidance"steps above aren't enough,work with your doctor/aller-gist to pinpoint triggers. Thestandard method is the skinpin-prick test. Allergies inspring often are caused bytree pollen; grass pollen is atop cause of summer aller-gies; and late summer andfall allergies often are causedby weed pollen, but it can betough to pinpoint your exactallergies. Year-round sneez-ing may be caused by moldspores or indoor allergenssuch as dust mites. Don't sitaround and self-diagnose. Geta test, get some relief andthen come back and read thisagain.

DEAR ABBY: I'm in desper-ate need of help. I have beenwith my girlfriend for fouryears. With every long-term

relationship, there are boundto be issues. I haven't feltloved by her in a long time,and I think I have fallen out

of love with her. I can't eventell her that I love her any-more because I don't want tolie.

When we make love, it'sdull and boring. I want to feelthe way I used to about her.When I was near her, myhairs used to stand up, myheart would race, my bodywould quiver and I wouldnever want to let her go. Howcan I feel that way about heragain? -- WANTS THAT OLDFEELING

DEAR WANTS: The prob-lem with relationships is thatthey can only be brand-newonce. With the passage oftime, to some extent theexcitement fades. That'swhere the "work" comes in.

Longtime couples mustmake an effort to keep theirrelationship fresh and excit-ing. This means introducingspontaneity and new experi-ences to each other.

You say you haven't feltloved by her in a long time.My advice would be to talk toher about it. Because youcan't bring yourself to tellher you love her, has itoccurred to you that shemight feel as though she hasbeen emotionally abandonedby you?

BIRTHDAY GAL: ActressDiane Farr was born inNew York City on this datein 1969. This birthday galportrayed Megan Reeves on"Numb3rs" from 2005-2008and more recently playedrecurring roles on "The Se-cret Life Of The AmericanTeenager," "Private Prac-tice" and "Californication."Her film work includesroles in "About Cherry" and"The Third Nail," and she isslated to star in the upcom-ing comedy called "RoadHard."

ARIES (March 21-April19): Take unexpected eventsin stride and don't makemountains out of molehillsin the week ahead. You mayprefer to stand out in thecrowd. but being known asa stand-up person in thecommunity will get you fur-ther.

TAURUS (April 20-May20): You may prefer to workbehind the scenes in a quietspot far away from trafficpatterns, but don't cut your-self off from others. An un-expected meeting in theweek to come could enrichboth spirit and wallet.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):In the upcoming week, un-expected phone calls or un-intentional crossed signalscould throw you slightly offbalance. Pay more attentionto facts and figures thanwishful thinking wheremoney is concerned.

CANCER (June 21-July22): Capitalize on friend-ships in the upcoming weekand network vigorously toensure social and businesssuccess. Avoid spur of the

moment expenditures thatyou may regret later. Getadvice before you invest.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Ro-mantic relationships and is-sues that involve trustcould be a primary focus ofyour life as this week un-folds. Your expectationscould exceed reality, somake an effort to be reason-able when dealing with oth-ers.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):Unresolved problems fromthe past may occupy yourmind in the week to come,but a little research willhelp you put two and two to-gether. Clear your desk ofpaperwork and tie up thosenagging loose ends.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Aromantic relationship couldbe spoiled by minor misun-derstandings in the earlypart of the week. Don't takerebuffs too seriously orpush too quickly for a com-mitment when pursuing abusiness agreement.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.21): One true blue love isbetter than10 fair weatherfriends. Being reliable andpractical is the best way toshow others you care. Don'tworry about exposing yourimperfections in the upcom-ing week.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Unexpected expen-ditures could have youcounting your cash andcoming up a bit short in theweek ahead. You won't re-gret your generosity or fun-filled nights, but it may betime to curtail spending.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.19): New friends or compan-

ions could brighten yourweek. You may meet some-one who'll lift you out of amental rut. Inventive ideasabound that may help youin your work or merely in-spire you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18): You may want to put atouch of individuality oneverything you do, but yourtastes could change quicklyin the week ahead. Be de-voted to lasting values andsteer clear of sudden whimsand impulsive purchases.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March20): Your charm could takesomeone by surprise in theweek ahead. You may bechallenged by impulsive be-havior or relationships thatbriefly break down due tothoughtlessness. Honoryour commitments.

IF SEPTEMBER 7 ISYOUR BIRTHDAY: Duringthe next 4-6 weeks, you mayreceive more than your fairshare of publicity or atten-tion. You're likely to em-brace new ideas, as well aspeople, with open arms, butnot all of your new admir-ers will be reliable. Hold offon making crucial romanticcommitments until after theend of January. After thefirst of the year, ambitionsmay have you burning themidnight oil and your ef-forts can win recognitionfrom those in authority.The universe will rewardyour hard work and ethicalbehavior next February,when material gains willmost easily come your way.Make important plans andchanges at that time to en-sure a rosy future.

BIRTHDAY GUY: ActorDavid Lee Smith was bornin Birmingham, Ala., onthis day in 1963. This birth-day guy co-starred as Sgt.Rick Stetler on "CSI:Miami" from 2003-2010. He'salso appeared on the bigscreen in such films as"Crimson Winter," "TheMan from Earth" and "FightClub." Smith's early TVroles included appearanceson the soaps "All My Chil-dren," As the World Turns"and "One Life to Live."

ARIES (March 21-April19): "Arm's length" transac-tions require more scrutinythan usual. Every deal mustbe fair to all parties con-cerned. Special favoritismto relatives or old cronies isone thing, but don't givetrust a stranger.

TAURUS (April 20-May20): Your heart is surely inthe right place, but it's pos-sible there could be a fewawkward moments thatchallenge you. Someonemay nod their head in ap-proval but change theirmind at an inopportune mo-ment.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):A major change of opinionor an intriguing brainstormcould stir up your creativejuices, but might also putyou in temporary opposi-tion to a valuable ally. Letcommon sense be yourguide for the most success-ful outcome.

CANCER (June 21-July22): Friends might temptyou to follow trends. Awhim or sudden change ofheart might tug at the

strings of your purse. It'seasy to spend more than an-ticipated to please a specialsomeone or sport the lateststyles.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):Play the field and stick togroups to show off your bestside. Being outgoing and en-thusiastic may be the per-fect attitude to adopt for theday, but focus on findingsomething permanent, not amild flirtation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):Destiny may have recentlybrought you face to facewith someone who has thepotential to be a speciallove, but small fears causetemporary insecurity.Avoid drastic measures orfirst steps at this juncture.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):What you see isn't alwayswhat's true. Wishful think-ing could color your percep-tions of people and things.Focus on being as perfect asyou can be, without believ-ing other people are as per-fect as they seem.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.21): When a love relation-ship doesn't pan out as ex-pected, it may be best tothrow your energies intobusiness and career. Extradollars may satisfy yourpassions. Search for helpfulcontacts to pave the way tosuccess.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don't worry if youdon't get a vote of confi-dence unless you're a politi-cian. Don't give up or loseinterest just because some-one doesn't believe in you.Anything worth doing isworth doing well.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.19): There are two sides toevery coin. Whether yoursturns up heads or tails, youmust still spend wisely. Thedesire to indulge in an ex-travagance might presentyou with an inner conflictor moral dilemma.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18): Spur of the momentconversations pass the timeand stir up excitement, butacting on new ideas couldupset the applecart. Wheremoney is concerned, re-member it was the tortoisethat won the race.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March20): In your mind, youridentity is tied to whoyou're with, rather thanwho you are. Strive to shinebrightly on your own to getthe attention you so richlydeserve. Others find yousimply irresistible.

IF SEPTEMBER 8 ISYOUR BIRTHDAY:Amorous pursuits maymove onto the front burnerduring the next 6-8 weeks,when you can become theapple of someone's eye ormake a serious commit-ment. Since your popularityis at a peak, this could be agood time to interview for anew job or change careers.Don't shirk responsibilitiesthat land in your lap in No-vember, as handling toughtasks will set you up for fu-ture success. You'll be bask-ing in the spotlight with thepossibility of new opportu-nities by January, whenboth spiritual and materialrewards will most easilycome your way.

THE ER-RORS CON-TINUE TOBE PRO-DUCED

JamesJoyce said,"A man of

genius makes no mis-takes. His errors are voli-tional and are the portalsof discovery."

This week, we have seendeals featuring errors byplayers who are notbridge geniuses, fromwhich we can learn. Andhere is another. What doyou think of the biddingand what should happenin four spades after Westleads the heart three?

North's jump to threespades showed four-cardsupport but less than

game-invitational values.With a stronger hand,North would have made athree-heart cue-bid raise.This is an excellent ideabecause it allows the ad-vancer (or the responder,if South had opened andWest overcalled) to showeither a weak, distribu-tional raise or a high-cardraise.

Should East have rebidfour hearts? Yes, perhapsthat contract was making.No, because it was almostcertain to push South intobidding four spades,which East could not besure of defeating. Here,though, South was goingto bid four spades regard-less.

Since West had sup-ported hearts, his low-heart lead guaranteed at

least one honor inthe suit. East, hop-ing that honor wasthe king, took thefirst trick with hisace and returned aheart. However,South won with theking and cashed histwo top trumps.When the queendropped, Southclaimed.

At trick two, Eastshould have shiftedto his singleton dia-mond. Here, thatwould have workedperfectly. Westwould have wonwith his ace andgiven his partner adiamond ruff. Eastwould then havecashed the club acefor down one.

Hints from Heloise Heloise

A Pigeon ProblemDear Heloise: I don't know

if this is in your realm ornot, but we need help. Someneighbors cut down theirpine trees. They were nest-ing places for PIGEONS. Wenow have 30 or 40 large,dirty birds in our drivewayand on our porch and patio.We have grandchildren whocome to play, and the messis unbelievable. We don'twant to destroy them, justprevent them from comingto our house. -- Annette O.,Warren, Ohio

What a pesky problem!Here is a hint that I haveseen used a lot down at theTexas coast to keep birdsfrom nesting underneaththe elevated beach houses.I've even seen some on theroof of an enclosed walkwayat an airport: FAKE OWLS!Many of the houses haveowl decoys placed aroundthe house. They are justplastic owls. If the birdsthink there is a larger,predatory bird there, theywill not roost. Try that. Ifthat doesn't work, you mayneed to talk to a profes-sional to get other sugges-

tions. -- HeloisePET PALDear Readers: Lauren

Jones in San Antonio sentin a picture of her and herSiamese cat, Scout, snug-gling up for the camera.Scout is staring directlyinto the camera with his bigblue eyes. To see Scout's pic-ture, go to my website,www.Heloise.com, and clickon "Pets." -- Heloise

CLEANING A MOPDear Heloise: I believe

that you have printed be-fore the way to clean a mop.Could you please reprint it?I could use some help. I feellike I am not getting thefloors clean because mymop is dirty! -- Janice inFreeport, Texas

Always happy to help,Janice! Sometimes thefloors do not seem to get re-ally clean with a dirty mop.Try to clean the mop be-tween uses. The method ofcleaning depends onwhether your mop has a re-movable head. If it does, re-move it and wash it in thewashing machine withsome old towels.

If your mop does not have

a removable head, fill abucket with hot, soapywater. Swish and dunk themop in the water until thedirt is removed. Rinse withclean water and let dry. Doyou have other cleaningtools you want to know howto clean? Or do you want tolearn how to make myhomemade cleaning solu-tions? Order my pamphlet.To receive one, send $5 anda long, self-addressed,stamped (70 cents) envelopeto: Heloise/Cleaners, P.O.Box 795001, San Antonio, TX78279-5001. Also, try usingtwo buckets when mopping,including one with freshwater to go over what youhave just cleaned. To getcleaning rags clean, wash inthe washing machine withno bleach or fabric softener.-- Heloise

INSTANT ITCH RELIEFDear Heloise: My chigger

bites were itching terriblywhile I was driving. Handsanitizer was all I had in thecar, so I put some on thebites. It stopped the itchinginstantly! -- Janis B.,Gatesville, Texas

700 homes evacuated from wildfire near Yosemite

MARIPOSA, Calif. (AP) — A new wildfirethat broke out Friday on the edge ofYosemite National Park has forced theevacuation of about 700 homes, officialssaid.

The blaze broke out at about 2 p.m. andwas burning out of control, consuming atleast 300 acres in Mariposa County,California state fire spokeswoman KarenGuillemin-Kanawyer said.

Some 700 homes and five businesses wereunder evacuation orders in the area ofPonderosa Basin, Guillemin-Kanawyersaid. The area is about 15 miles southwestof the heart of Yosemite.

No damages or injuries were immediatelyreported and it wasn’t yet clear whatcaused the blaze, officials said.

There were also no reports on any imme-

diate effects on the park.Later Friday a second blaze broke out 15

miles to the south in the community ofOakhurst. Nearly 300 alert calls telling resi-dents to evacuate were sent out, theMariposa County Sheriff ’s Departmentsaid, but they were canceled when theblaze’s progress was stopped at five acres.

Meanwhile in far northern California, ablaze that broke out nearly four weeks agogrew to nearly 130 square miles.

A red flag warning for dangerous fireconditions near that blaze was extended toSaturday night, but it has yet to damageany homes or buildings. It’s 25 percent con-tained.

Some homes in the Happy Camp areawere under evacuation orders, but it wasn’tclear how many.

Northridge college finds hazing in hiking death

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Hazing wasinvolved in the death of a California StateUniversity, Northridge, student who col-lapsed during an 18-mile fraternity pledgehike, the school’s president announcedFriday.

Pi Kappa Phi, the fraternity that held thehike, has agreed to close its chapter, a crim-inal investigation is underway, and afterthat will come school reviews that couldresult in some students being disciplinedor possibly expelled, CSUN PresidentDianne F. Harrison said.

Armando Villa, 19, who had just complet-ed his freshman year, died last month afterhe passed out during a hike with other PiKappa Phi pledges in the Angeles NationalForest.

“They had water — and not enoughwater,” Harrison said. “The pledges worereally cheap, flimsy shoes. Some of them,including Armando’s, were not the rightsize. And then you go on an 18-mile hike.”

An investigation commissioned by theuniversity determined that fraternity mem-bers engaged in hazing in violation ofschool ethics and student conduct codes,the president said.

“Hazing is stupid, senseless, dangerousand against the law in California,”Harrison said in a statement. “It is a ves-tige of a toxic way of thinking in which itwas somehow OK to degrade, humiliateand potentially harm others.”

Villa’s parents issued a statement sayingthey’re pleased the fraternity chapter isclosing.

“Hazing is an awful practice. It cost ourson his life. And it ought to be bannedacross the country,” said Betty and JosephSerrato, Villa’s mother and stepfather. “Noone else should suffer because of this bar-baric ritual that endangers and ridiculesothers just for the enjoyment of immatureyoung men.”

The bus missed the baby, who was sit-ting alone in a bouncy chair in the liv-ing room, by just a few feet.

“It could have been a whole lot worse,”Hill told the San Francisco Chronicle.

Eight people from the bus includingthe driver were also taken to the hospi-tal, but their injuries were not serious.

Hill said police were searching for thedriver of the stolen car and took a pas-senger, the driver’s younger brother,into custody.
