Pro-marijuanaorganization plans

booth at ThirdThursday

BY TRAVIS [email protected]

SHERIDAN — An organizationsupporting the legalization ofcannabis in Wyoming plans abooth and petition tonight at theThird Thursday Street Festivalbacking the use of medical mari-juana in the state.

The Wyoming NationalOrganization for the Reform ofMarijuana Laws began collectingsignatures late last week in aneffort to get the initiative on the2016 general ballot.

The proposed legislation, ThePeggy A. Kelley WyomingCannabis Act of 2016, would legal-ize marijuana for medicinal pur-poses — not the recreational saleand use — and allow farmers andranchers to grow industrial hemp.

Local law enforcement, however,is not on board.

Sheridan Police Department Lt.Tom Ringley said the departmenttakes an educational stance onthe side effects of many sub-stances, including alcohol, tobac-co and prescription drugs.

“The department would informthe community of the harmfulpersonal and societal impactalready caused by both illegalmarijuana use in Wyoming andlegal marijuana use in states suchas Colorado,” Ringley wrote in anemail to The Press. “The stance isbased on facts. Neither the depart-ment nor the city of Sheridan istaking a moral stance.”

SPD has four main concernswith a potential medical marijua-na initiative.

Ringley stated the legalizationof medical marijuana leads toincreased cannabis use by juve-niles. Colorado experienced a 32percent increase in drug-relatedschool suspension and expulsionin the four years after medicalmarijuana was commercialized,he said, citing a Rocky MountainHigh Intensity Drug TraffickingArea 2014 report.

Another survey showed a 26 per-cent increase in monthly marijua-na use by youth age 12-17 in thethree years after medical marijua-na sales began in Colorado.

Gov. Mead says it’s time to look at tapping rainy day fundCHEYENNE (AP) — Citing

falling oil and coal revenues, Gov.Matt Mead said it is time to lookat tapping into Wyoming’s rainyday fund and revisit whether thestate should expand the federalMedicaid program.

Mead said Wednesday that hedidn’t believe the state needs toconsider raising or imposing new

taxes.“I don’t think that’s necessary

at this time because of the sav-ings that we have improved overthe last four plus years,” he said.

Wyoming is the nation’s leadingcoal producer and gets significantrevenue from coal, natural gasand oil extraction.

But state forecasters have pro-

jected federal mineral revenuewill likely fall from just over $1billion last year to about $688 mil-lion in 2020.

Mead has blamed tighter federalair quality standards and otherrestrictions for reducing demandfor Wyoming coal. His adminis-tration has launched several law-suits challenging federal stan-

dards and is pushing to try to getaccess to ports in the Northwestto allow coal exports to Asia.

Mead is preparing a budget thathe will submit later this year tothe state Legislature, which con-venes a budget session nextFebruary.

The state has various savingsaccounts, including roughly $1.8

billion in its “rainy day fund” asof January. The fund has grownduring Mead’s term as governor,but because of the state’s finan-cial situation “we are going to,out of necessity, have to look atrainy day funds this session,”Mead said.

Mountains is a treasure trovefor researchers brave enoughto rappel into the chilly, dankchamber. To date, they'vefound the remains of horses,cheetahs, mammoths, camelsand other species now gonefrom North America.

One question they still hopeto answer: Did a warming cli-mate or perhaps the arrival ofpeople cause the continent's

“Basically what happened atthe end of ice age is we hadthis massive extinction event.But nobody is really sure whatcaused it,” said paleontologistJulie Meachen at Des MoinesUniversity.

SMH to revamp one of hospital’s oldest departments

SHERIDAN — A quick tourdown Sheridan MemorialHospital’s hallways and there islittle doubt of the hospital’s goalto grow. Behind one door is thenew cardiac catheterization lab,behind another is the recently-constructed dialysis center, withrenovations to other parts of thebuilding in between.

Sheridan College campus hosts more than 30 events throughout summer

BY CASSIDY [email protected]

SHERIDAN — SheridanCollege increased its pres-ence this summer, actingas host for more than 30different events.

The college has longheard from the communitythat they want the campusto “serve as more of aresource and magnet toattract people in the sum-mer,” SC President Dr.Paul Young said.

Bringing in an estimated2,000 people to the campus,the events created a boostin Sheridan’s economy aspeople from across thestate spent money locally.

Functions not only pro-vide an opportunity foreducation, Young said, butcreate benefits for theeconomy as attendees stayin hotels, buy gas and shopin Sheridan.

The college saw its ownfinancial boost with a 50percent increase in rev-

enue this summer com-pared to last, receivingapproximately $160,000.However the funds are allo-cated to provide mainte-nance and staffing duringthese summer functions.

This increase in activitydoes raise caution aboutstaffing. As summer is thetime the school focuses onmajor maintenance, moreevents add strain tostaffing needs. Althoughthe revenue generated byhosting has grown, it’s notenough to cover new full-time staff costs.

“We don’t generateenough revenue to addpositions,” Young said.

He expects fees for facili-ty use to remain the same,however discussionsregarding hiring proce-dures were raised duringthe Northern WyomingCommunity CollegeDistrict board meetingWednesday night.

If affordable, the schoolmay look at hiring part-

time help and/or studentsduring the summer to alle-viate stress from full-timefaculty and staff.

Another factor the boardstresses is not creatingcompetition for the privatesector. To avoid this, SCwill continue to hostevents too big for localbusiness.

Its largest events thissummer were SheridanCounty School District 2’sSummit on TeachingExcellence and theWyoming Department ofEducation’s Roadmap toSTEM teaching conference.Both events brought inhundreds of attendees.

Other events includededucation conferences,commission meetings, ath-letic camps and careertraining.

Young is optimistic aboutthe affect hosting has onSheridan’s economy andwants to continue theschool’s momentum nextsummer.

Dayton officials discuss summer pool useBY ZACHARY WHITE

[email protected]

SHERIDAN — With summer coming to aclose, the Dayton Town Council heard areview Wednesday night of use at the ArtBadgett Pool.

More than 3,550 people used the poolfrom June to August, with the largestnumber of people coming in July.

Pool manager Chad Aksamit said thatnumber is higher than most years and thelargest number of users in recent history.

More than 100 children participated inswimming lessons, which Aksamit saidwas less than usual but not significantly.

Forty-two pool passes were sold through-out the summer. There were 18 seasonfamily passes sold, 23 monthly family pass-es and one monthly child pass.

The pool was open for 59 of the 70 daysof the summer pool season.

“It was really a quiet summer down atthe pool, but we like quiet summersthere,” Aksamit said.

In other business:• Council members approved an ordi-

nance on first reading that outlines theuse of the green waste bins at Scott

Bicentennial Park. No trash is allowed in the bins. Branches

not larger than 6 feet in length and 6 inch-es in diameter can be put in the branchdisposal bin and yard waste like shrub-bery, flowers, leaves or grass clippings canbe placed in the yard disposal bin.Anything left on the ground outside thebin is considered littering.

This ordinance needs to be approved attwo more Council meetings.

• Council members also approved anordinance that allows for microbrewery,winery and satellite winery permits to beavailable in Dayton.

The ordinance would also allow a thirdparty to sell wine from a local distributor.

Although there is no plan for a specificsatellite winery yet, there has been discus-sion from a local business about the possi-bility of selling wine through a thirdparty.

Mayor Norm Anderson said this is aproactive move.

This ordinance needs to be approved attwo more Council meetings.

• Rachel Bolter was appointed to theDayton Planning Committee.

• The Sept. 7 Council meeting wasrescheduled to Sept. 8, to account for theLabor Day holiday.

Areas closed due to fire reopenFROM STAFF REPORTS

SHERIDAN — Areasclosed as a result of theSheep Creek Fire earlierthis month are now open.

The Bighorn NationalForest announced Thursdaythat the Tongue RiverCanyon Trail has been

reopened. The trail hadbeen closed due to publicsafety concerns. Trail usersare still being advised to beaware of surroundings andbe alert to hazards associat-ed with recreating in thearea including steep terrainand unstable slopes.

In addition, the AmsdenCreek Wildlife HabitatManagement Area has beenreopened. The area had alsobeen closed due to theSheep Creek Fire.

“Due to the loss of vegeta-

tion during the fire on theupper edge of the canyonwalls, the Wyoming Gameand Fish Department wouldlike to remind the public ofthe possibility of increasedfalling rock and the poten-tial for landslides withinthe Tongue River Canyon,”Sheridan Region Habitatand Access CoordinatorSeth Roseberry said. “Thetrailhead parking area willbe closed for camping dueto these public safety con-cerns.”

Officials discuss proposal to open Battle Pass earlier

ENCAMPMENT (AP) — Officials are considering anearly opening for a major route between Encampment andBaggs in southern Wyoming.

The Rawlins Daily Times reports Encampment residentJohn Farr is pushing for Battle Pass to be opened sooner in2016, saying the route would promote tourism and connectagricultural communities.

Farr said the Wyoming Department of Transportationopens the route by June 15 at the latest, creating uncertain-ty as people plan travel.

Laramie-based WYDOT district engineer Pat Perssonsays opening the highway takes resources and money thatthe department doesn’t have. It costs about $30,000 annual-ly to plow Grants Pass and Persson said an early openingwould increase the cost of keeping the road open throughspring and fall.

The proposal will be considered during a Thursday pub-lic meeting in Baggs.

SRD board approves candidates, filling two vacant positions BY MIKE PRUDEN

[email protected]

SHERIDAN — The SheridanRecreation District is close to fillingthe two vacant program supervisorpositions.

The SRD board met Wednesday andapproved the recommendations ofSRD Executive Director RichardWright and board member AnnPerkins of the two applicants.

Although the names weren’treleased because the two candidatesweren’t contacted until the board’sapproval, Wright said that the twowere very creative people with a lotof new ideas. The board recommend-ed to Wright at last month’s meetingto look for applicants that can bringfresh ideas to the SRD.

Robbie Spencer and BrandonGarner left the recreation district inJune. The two new candidates wereselected out of 51 applicants.

The board also heard an updatefrom Sheridan County TennisAssociation’s Bill Brooks on the

indoor tennis facility at Thorne-Rider Park.

The SCTA, with the help of theSRD, has been working to cover twoof the existing courts at the parkwith a Clearspan all-weather cover-ing. While they are still deep in thefundraising stages of the project —they have $253,000 of their $400,000goal raised — construction hasbegun at the courts.

The fences and lights around thecourts have been removed, and utili-ty lines have been moved and areready for hookup. The SCTA is stillwaiting on their permits from thecity, which they are expecting withina week or so after Clearspan’s engi-neering plans have been approved.

Clearspan is scheduled to installthe structure Sept. 21 and shouldtake about 10 days to complete. SCTAis expecting the building to be readyin October.

Despite Brooks’ excitement that“everything is pretty much ontrack,” SRD board president DonJulian emphasized the need for the

SCTA to really hit the ground hard tocomplete fundraising.

Brooks hopes to hear from a fewmore large donors but said anyonethat has an urge to help reach theirgoal is greatly appreciated.

In other business:• Chef Neena Langevin pitched her

“Fun in the Kitchen” class to theboard. Langevin hopes to create a funcooking class for anyone interested,specifically children, to add afterschool options for those not partici-pating in sports. The board showedgreat support of the project, andboard member and Sheridan JuniorHigh School activities director KimAnderson is looking into utilizingthe school’s facilities for the class.

• Wright also updated the board onweed and mosquito spraying, sayingthat the long summer may mean theyspray into September. He also men-tioned that while bees and wasps arebad right now, that is not somethingfor which the SRD sprays.

Mead not ready to comment on methane plan

CHEYENNE (AP) — Gov.Matt Mead says he’s review-ing the Obama administra-tion’s plan to cut methaneemissions from U.S. oil andgas production.

The administration wantsto cut methane from oil andgas drilling by 40 to 45 per-cent by 2025, compared to2012 levels.

It issued a rule that wouldrequire energy producers tofind and repair leaks at oiland gas wells and capturegas that escapes from wellsthat use a common drillingtechnique known ashydraulic fracturing, orfracking.

Mead says he can’t com-ment on the plan without

knowing the details but hisinitial reaction is he’s con-cerned about more federalregulation.

IN WASHINGTON |

The 1st Amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging thefreedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The proposed Eisenhower memorial is a monstrosityW

e could wearily shrug, say “Oh,well,” and economize waste andannoyance by just building the pro-posed $142 million Dwight D.

Eisenhower Memorial. But long after its per-petrators are gone, it would squat there, rep-resenting Washington at its worst and prov-

ing that we have forgottenhow to nurture our nation-al memory with intelligentmemorials.

This saga of arroganceand celebrity worshipbegan in 1999 whenCongress created theDwight D. EisenhowerMemorial Commission(EMC). Sixteen yearslater, and eight yearsafter the project’s 2007scheduled completion,scores of millions have

been squandered, and there is no memorialand no immediate prospect of buildingone.

It is good news that the money has beenwasted: The atrocious proposal has notbecome a permanent blight across fromIndependence Avenue’s Air and SpaceMuseum at the foot of Capitol Hill. Moregood news: Congress has not appropriateda penny of the $68 million the EMCrequested for construction in 2016, and pri-vate fundraising is too anemic to allow

architect Frank Gehry to sprawl his pre-posterous memorial across four acres. Itsfootprint would be large enough to accom-modate the Washington Monument and theJefferson and Lincoln memorials, withroom to spare for a monument to Gehry.Which is what the Eisenhower Memorialwould be, with Ike, warrior and president,reduced to merely a pretext for Gehry’sflamboyance.

Gehry’s original proposal was for some-thing so gargantuan it would block someviews of the Capitol: There would be a stat-ue of Eisenhower, but as a Kansas boy, andthree 80-foot-tall metal “tapestries” depict-ing episodes from Eisenhower’s boyhoodand military and political careers.

Gehry’s monstrosity has been tweakedand now is a tweaked monstrosity.

Gehry is 86, world famous and impatientwith philistines who note that his proposalis discordant with the Mall’s aesthetic. ButPrometheus need not conform: “There aresorts of rules about architectural expres-sion which have to fit into a certain chan-nel. Screw that.” Perhaps it is the license ofgenius to talk like a lout: “In this world weare living in, 98 percent of everything thatis built and designed today is pure s---.”Gehry has prospered during his ordeal atthe hands of people with tastes less refinedthan his: His firm has pocketed $16 millionso far from work on Ike’s nonexistentmemorial.

Several panels of “experts” — on what?— have given their imprimatur to Gehry’sundertaking, perhaps in order to resusci-tate the hope of getting him to apply hisennobling touch to the nation’s capital. Tenyears ago, the Corcoran, Washington’s old-est private art gallery, abandoned plans forGehry to build a new wing, a proposal alsobegun in 1999. It too came to naught, eventhough, for a while, visitors entering theCorcoran walked past what The Post calleda “celebratory video” titled “Mr. GehryGoes to Washington.” Not yet; ideally,never.

Michael J. Lewis, a professor of art atWilliams College, notes that Gehry’s pro-posal fails for the same reason the MartinLuther King Jr. Memorial does. King, anorator, is depicted with his lips sealed,stern and almost dour, his arms stolidlycrossed. The Eisenhower and King thatAmerica knew disappear. Lewis suspectsthat if Gehry were asked to define a monu-ment, he would say: A monument is not athing but a process — an open-ended con-versation in which various constituenciesbring different interpretations to differentforms. This theory is an incitement toarchitectural grandiosity that eclipses thelives memorialized.

Because monuments are public art, theyshould, Lewis says, be “legible.” Hence,societies have traditionally resorted to tri-umphal arches, temples, colossal columns

and obelisks, not because they are ancientbut because they are timeless. The classicvocabulary of monuments looks backward:The Jefferson Memorial, Lewis notes,makes us think not of 1940 but ofJefferson. Hence Frank Lloyd Wright, mod-ernist and egotist, detested it.

Nowadays, monuments are, Lewis says,“discursive, sentimental, addicted to narra-tive literalism.” The Franklin RooseveltMemorial, completed in 1997, is, Lewisnotes, “preachy” and a “cross-pollination ofa diorama with a Madame Tussaud’s waxmuseum. Even FDR’s dog Fala is pantinglyimmortalized in bronze.” There is talk of a“digital e-memorial” at the EisenhowerMemorial, presumably to translate Gehry’sunderstanding of his masterwork forunderstandably bewildered visitors.

Washington’s Mall and its environs, oneof the world’s most elegant urban spaces,is becoming cluttered with commemorativebric-a-brac dispensed by Congress that canbe called “recognition pork barrel,” molli-fying this and that constituency’s clamorfor acknowledgment of this or that.Eisenhower certainly merits a memorial,but one consonant with his astonishingachievements and Midwestern unpreten-tiousness.

Negligible effect onproblem that may not

existRe: Clean Power Plan

The well written article onthe coal industry (“Coal: A keybut threatened part of stateeconomy”) in the Aug. 15 issueof The Sheridan Pressdescribes how energy priceswill go up as a result of theimplementation of theEnvironmental ProtectionAgency’s Clean Power Plan.Indeed, an analysis by NationalEconomic Research AnalysisEconomic Consulting estimatesthat U.S. ratepayers would seetheir electric power prices risean additional 13 percent aboveinflation. However, what is notdisclosed in the article is thecollateral impact of rising ener-gy prices. The price of virtual-ly all of the goods and servicesthat we consume depend tosome degree on electrical ener-gy costs. Consequently, we canexpect not only our electricalbills to escalate as a result ofthe Clean Power Plan, but theother things we buy as well.

The EPA’s obsession withreducing the use of coal to gen-erate electricity (electricitygenerated from coal fired powerplants accounts for about 50percent of the U.S. total) stemsfrom the premise that carbondioxide emissions from coalfired power plants is a signifi-cant contributor to globalwarming.

This premise has been chal-lenged by numerous groupswith responsible scientific cre-dentials. For example, thereport of the NongovernmentalInternational Panel on ClimateChange states that a growingnumber of scientists concludethat variations in solar activity(not the concentration of car-bon dioxide in the air) is thetrue driver of any climatechange. A recently formedgroup (“The Right ClimateStuff ”) of over 20 NASA scien-tists have concluded that sci-

ence that predicts the extent ofhuman caused global warmingis not settled science and thatthere is no convincing physicalevidence of catastrophichuman caused global warming.Furthermore, from about 2005to 2010, NASA data show adecline in global surface tem-perature while at the same timethe atmospheric carbon dioxideconcentration was increasingto its current level of about 0.4percent (4 parts carbon dioxidein 10,000 parts of air). In arecent (May 29, 2015) article inTownHall.com (“When WillClimate Scientists Say TheyWere Wrong?”) PatrickMichaels of the Cato Instituteshows that the most recentmodels used to predict globalwarming have predictedincreasing global temperaturessince 1995 while measurementshave shown no increase inatmospheric temperatures.Thus, the link betweenincreased carbon dioxide con-centration and global warmingis tenuous at best. Carbon diox-ide is a vital component in theatmosphere; it is necessary forplant life and, according to theNIPCC, increased levels of car-bon dioxide would increaseplant growth and make plantsmore resistant to drought andpests.

By the Obama administra-tion's own estimates, full imple-mentation of EPA’s rule wouldonly reduce the average globaltemperature by less than a hun-dredth of a degree (“ClimateChange Weekly #182: CleanPower Plan Means Death forCoal”). Consequently, imple-mentation of the Clean PowerPlan will likely have a negligi-ble effect on a perceived prob-lem that may not even exist. Itseems premature and unwise toimplement a plan that willprobably have significant detri-mental economic impacts tomost U.S. citizens with little orno tangible benefit.

“Abby has that unique ability tobuild really great relationshipswith kids, but at the same timehold them very much accountablefor rigorous expectations,” saysBrett Dahl, principal atSagebrush Elementary School. “Ithink what college and careerreadiness is really looking for iscritical thinkers, solution-orient-ed kids and kids who challenge

the everyday thinking. Abby isfostering this ability to think out-side of the box and that is whatthe workforce wants.”

Mowry says she incorporatesSTEM into her teaching becauseshe wants students to succeednow and in the future.

“Our job as teachers is to getthese little students prepared forten years from now,” Mowry said.“Can they join the marketplace?We don’t even know what those

jobs are going to look like, but weknow there’s going to be technolo-gy, there’s going to be engineer-ing, they’re going to have to workin groups and they’re going tohave to problem-solve.

“All of those are going to be nec-essary skills, and I think thatSTEM is a great way to teachthose skills,” she continued.

TIPPED OVER |WWII fighter ace Fritz Payne dies;

fought at Guadalcanal

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Frederick R. “Fritz”Payne, a World War II fighter ace who left his markon aviation and wartime history by shooting downsix Japanese warplanes during the Battle ofGuadalcanal, a bloody, months-long confrontationthat helped change the course of the war, has diedat age 104.

The retired Marine Corps brigadier general, whowas believed to be the oldest surviving U.S. fighterace, died Aug. 6 at his home in Rancho Mirage.

Hundreds had turned out to honor him lastMemorial Day at the Palm Springs Air Museum,which on Tuesday confirmed his death.

“He was an extraordinary guy, and we can onlyhope that we can live up to his and others’ exampleand carry on in their footsteps and rememberwhat they did,” said the museum’s director, FredBell.

What Payne did between September and October1942 was take to the skies in an F4F Wildcat andshoot down four Japanese bombers and two fighterplanes during a crucial, months-long battle forcontrol of the Pacific that Allied forces hadlaunched with no clear indication they could win.

“Fritz came along at a time when we were essen-tially losing the war,” said Bell, adding Payne andothers who “stood their ground at Guadalcanal”kept the Japanese from gaining control of thePacific Ocean from the east coast of Australia tothe western United States. The battle marked aturning point in the war’s Pacific theater.

Payne, meanwhile, would be honored with theNavy Cross, silver star, Distinguished Flying Crossand other medals during a long military career.

When Congress decided earlier this year tohonor all of the nation’s fighter aces with a GoldMedal, its highest civilian honor, he was too frailto attend the ceremony in Washington, D.C.Instead, Rep. Raul Ruiz, of Palm Springs, broughtit to him at the Air Museum.

“Terrific,” he said when it was presented.“He was a very humble guy,” noted Bell.The title fighter ace is reserved for those who

have shot down at least five enemy aircraft in bat-tle. Technically Payne was awarded 5 1/2 killsbecause he had help from another pilot in downing

one plane.Frederick Rounsville Payne Jr., was born July

31, 1911, in Elmira, New York, the son of aSpanish-American War veteran.

He attended the U.S. Naval Academy for twoyears before completing his college education atthe University of Arizona in 1935. Upon gradua-tion he had hoped to join the Navy’s cadet programbut learned it was full.

“My father said, ‘You’re a college graduate, go tothe recruiting office and tell them you’d like tojoin the Marine Corps,’” he told the Palm SpringsDesert Sun in 2010.

So he did and the Marines made him a secondlieutenant. When he retired in 1958 he was abrigadier general.

Later he worked for Southern California Edison,managing the utility company’s aircraft opera-tions until retiring in 1976.

Payne was preceded in death by his wife,Dorothy. He is survived by sons Dewitt Payne andRobert Payne, daughter Elizabeth Payne and threegrandchildren.

DIG: New discoveries all the timeFROM 1

One of Meachen's more excitingfinds this year wasn't a big mammothor cat but the crushed skull of a coy-ote. The skull might contain geneticmaterial she hopes to compare to thecoyotes that still roam northernWyoming.

Co-principal investigator AlanCooper at the University of Adelaidein Australia already has analyzedgenetic material from the bones ofcamels and American lion recoveredfrom the cave.

Natural Trap Cave's only entranceis a 15-foot-wide hole at the surface.Over thousands of years, countlessanimals fell into the hole and plunged80 feet to their deaths.

Nowadays, the U.S. Bureau of LandManagement keeps the entranceclosed off with a locked metal grate.The BLM allows people inside onlyrarely.

Before last year, no paleontologicalwork had taken place in the cave inmore than 30 years. Last year, just fig-uring out how to work in the cave —setting up rigging to haul buckets upand down, for example — consumedmuch of their two weeks at the site.

This year, scientists were able towork in the cave close to four weeksbefore wrapping up in the first weekof August.

“This year it moved on to a wholedifferent level. The level of expertise,the thoroughness of the excavation,the documentation, was top notch,”said Brent Breithaupt, regional pale-ontologist for the BLM who has beencoordinating logistics.

Details beginning to emerge include

a curiously high ratio of carnivoressuch as cheetahs and wolves to herbi-vores such as horses and bighornsheep.

“Maybe the carnivores are jumpingin because they could smell the rot-ting herbivores down there. I don'tknow. It's a thought and something toconsider,” Meachen said.

Though the cave has lots of carni-vore remains, the coyote skull was arare find that excites Meachenbecause scientists know little aboutcoyotes from back then.

“Coyotes actually looked differentin the Pleistocene than they do today.They were bigger. They were morecarnivorous. They probably took larg-er prey,” Meachen said. “What I wantto see is if there were geneticchanges along that went along withthose morphological changes.”

Also, researchers are beginning tosuspect animals fell into the cavethrough additional, smaller holesthat used to exist at the surface.Excavations this year uncoveredbighorn sheep and horse parts somedistance away and uphill from thezone underlying the currententrance, Meachen said.

The scientists have funding for onemore season of work at the cave butare optimistic they can carry on for aseason or two afterward, she said.

“Even though people have beencoming to Wyoming for well over 100years to look for fossils of variouskinds, there are new discoveriesbeing made and there are new tech-niques being used to analyze thesefossils,” Breithaupt said. “I see noend in sight with regard to the poten-tial.”

FUND: State could be facing 50 percent budget cutsFROM 1

“I think that’s an appropriate discussion now becausecertainly at the county and local level they believe it’sraining,” Mead said.

Mead said local government officials have voiced con-cern to him about facing budget cuts of up to 50 percentbecause of falling tax revenue.

State government has adequate revenue to fund its dailyoperations, but not for items such as tourism advertisingand local government aid, he said.

Mead said he doesn’t believe cutting more from state gov-ernment is the answer because residents have complainedabout reduced services from previous cuts and any moresavings from cuts wouldn’t be sufficient unless whole

agencies are eliminated.Last year, state lawmakers rejected expanding the

Medicaid programs and more than $100 million a year infederal funding that would have extended health insurancecoverage to 17,600 low-income adults. Many lawmakerssaid they don’t trust federal promises to continueMedicaid funding.

Mead had favored expanding Medicaid.He said Wednesday the issue should be looked at again.“So aside from the health benefits to our citizens with

regard to Medicaid expansion, we are now in a budgetarysituation where I think it’s appropriate again to look at itas we’re looking for revenue to support exceptionalrequests that are critical for the functioning of this state,”Mead said.

MARIJUANA: 38K signatures needed by Feb. 8, 2016FROM 1

SPD also worries aboutmills prescribing a high vol-ume of medical marijuanafor non-existent illnessesand ailments.

Ringley said a medicalmarijuana law could pavethe way for recreationalcannabis, which he called “athreat to the safety of thecommunity.” In Colorado,marijuana-related emer-gency room visits rose 57percent over a two-yearperiod from 8,198 in 2011 to

12,888 in 2013, according tosame 2014 drug report.

Lastly, SPD points out theNORML referendum takescontrol away from countiesor municipalities that wantto opt out of medical mari-juana, since the drug wouldbe allowed statewide ifpassed by vote.

According to an APreport, in order to reach theballot, the number of peti-tion signatures must equalat least 15 percent of thetotal number of votes castin the previous statewide

general election. The signa-tures must be obtained pro-portionally from 15 percentof resident voters in at least16 of Wyoming’s 23 coun-ties.

Wyoming residents castmore than 250,000 votes in2012. Fifteen percent wouldmean approximately 38,000signatures. NORML hasuntil Feb. 8.

Montana and Coloradoeach legalized medical mari-juana in 2004. Coloradobegan the sale of recre-ational marijuana to the

general public on Jan. 1,2014.

In the last six years, thenumber of SPD drug-relatedarrests has increased eachyear. These arrests includeeverything from sexualassault, driving under theinfluence of drugs, prescrip-tion fraud, domestic vio-lence, etc., Ringley said.

2010: 62 arrests 2011: 72 arrests 2012: 94 arrests 2013: 96 arrests 2014: 108 arrests 2015: 115 arrests (to date)

Dads and daughters date night helps bring child to family

GILLETTE (AP) — Severallittle girls sat in chairsaround the hair salon, theirlong hair clumsily pulledback and braided by handsunaccustomed to this dexter-ous work.

Tatum Lynn, 4, has hadher hair braided before, soshe sits down holding acomb and singing a songknown only to her. Suddenly,an unfamiliar sensationpinches at the back of herhead.

“Ow,” she says, interrupt-ing the lyrics of her song.

“Oops, I’m sorry, we pulleda hair,” her father Colinsays.

The simple exclamation ofmomentary pain followed byher dad’s apology is repeat-ed two or three more timesbefore Tatum’s hair is final-ly done. Colin looks at hishandiwork with an expres-sion somewhere betweenpride and amusement andhas his daughter turnaround to show everybodyelse.

“There, we’re going tohave mom take a picture andthen she’s gonna take itout,” Colin says.

But Tatum, even with thefew awkward tugs on herhair, loves the time she justspent with her dad.

“No, don’t take it out,” shesays.

The father and daughtercombo are one of a largeturnout of girls and theirdads at Siren Salon inGillette, spending timetogether in a way that manyof them had not before. Allaround the room are daugh-ters of many ages gettingtheir hair pulled, twistedand finally braided by theirdads. It’s a time they allenjoy despite — or maybeeven because of — the awk-wardness.

And the date night alsohas the added bonus of help-ing to give a young Filipinoboy a family and a homehe’s never had.

Scott and Julie Rankinhave been involved inSummer of Hope during allthree years of its existencein Gillette. They have seenorphaned children from thePhilippines and theDemocratic Republic of theCongo find families with lov-ing parents, brothers andsisters in Gillette.

The 11-year-old boy theyare going to bring home wasin Gillette as part of theSummer of Hope last year

and the Rankins took himin. The parents and theirfour daughters all love himand want to give him thehome and family life he’snever had.

“We just love this opportu-nity to bring someone lessfortunate here to adopt,”Scott Rankin said.

“I’ve always had a heartfor adoption,” Julie added.“It’s something we’ve talkedabout. Adoption’s expensive,but it’s worth it. (The kids)get to see what it’s like tolive in a home.”

The Rankins’ four daugh-ters — Alisa Costello, 23;Chloe, 12; Rylee, 11; andLacie, 7, are all equallyexcited to bring their broth-er home.

“I’m really excited,because I’ve never had abrother before,” Chloe said.“He’s been at our house acouple times before. I taughthim how to make abracelet.”

The dads and daughtersentered the salon and wereimmediately greeted withroot beer floats and treats onone side of the room. On theother was a donation standthat had “J.R.’s” picture andseveral donation options.The process of adoptioncosts about $25,000, so theRankins said they hope toraise as much of that as pos-sible during the event.

Once getting past the open-ing, they get to the stylebooths and get their handsinto a bunch of hair thatmany of them don’t knowwhat to do with. But it’s funand for a good cause.

“It’s always a good thing tohelp,” said Colin Lynn,whose wife Tara is a goodfriend of Siren Salon ownerTerry Clark . “We wanted tohelp. It’s a crooked braid,but it’s still a braid.”

In the time Summer ofHope has been in Gillette, 17kids have come fromorphanages in thePhilippines and the Congo.Fifteen are now either in ahome or families are in theprocess of adoption, JulieRankin said.

The idea to raise money tobring J.R. home to theRankin family had toinclude families, becausethat’s what’s important,Julie said.

“We wanted to do some-thing family oriented,” she

said. “Not often is theresomething for dads to dowith their daughters, andthey don’t know how to fixhair. So many dads arehands-on nowadays andneed to know how to do hair.And the little girls love it.”

So Clark, the owner ofSiren Salon and a goodfriend of the Rankins,became involved. The idea isso good that she wants tomake it an annual event forsome sort of charity.

“It’s something we can doevery year from here onout,” she said. “It’s some-thing we want to continue todo and give it to theWounded Warriors project.But if other people needhelp, I am open to that, too.”

One dad and daughter cou-ple in particular was the“overachiever of the night,”Clark said.

Thomas Martinez went inwanting to learn the tough-est sort of braiding hecould. So he attempted theElsa braid from the 2014Disney movie “Frozen” onhis 6-year-old daughter,Elizabeth.

So with fingernailsmarked with a little dirt andgrime rather than polish, hewent in and spent about 15minutes braiding Elizabeth’shair, with Clark by his sideevery step of the way.

“This is not easy,” Clarksaid to those watching. “It’sa lot easier said than done.”

So finally, Elizabeth’s hairlooked like Elsa’s from themovie and Thomas celebrat-ed his achievement whilesome of the moms in theroom gave praise for theimpressive achievement of afirst-timer.

“I didn’t come here tolose,” Thomas said. “Let’stake a picture of that andsend it to mom.”

Like father, like daughter,Elizabeth was ready to domi-nate the fashion show thatculminated the night. Shewalked through the curtainand showed off her braidsfor those watching. She thensmiled and went back to herdad.

It was all about spendingtime as a family. TheRankins, six of them atleast, stood watching. Theylooked over at the picture ofthe seventh member of theirfamily, soon to join them.

He was smiling back.

ICU: Project funding comes from private dollars; expansion comes with big price tagFROM 1

This is the Intensive Care Unit, and while nurses andphysicians have been making the facility work for manyyears, plans are in place to revamp one of the hospital’s

oldest departments. The current 3,331-square-foot facility will soon triple in

size. As the next phase in Sheridan Memorial Hospital’sstrategic planning process, the SMH hospital’s ICU facilitywill provide a more effective approach to medical care inSheridan.

Other than a small renovation to the nurse’s station in2010, the ICU facility remained largely the same since itwas constructed in 1979. During that time, there was anaverage of 2.5 patients utilizing the ICU facilities, but theincrease in the volume of surgeries and the constructionof the catheter lab has increased the average number ofpatients to 6.5 on any given day.

The ICU includes seven rooms, four of which have nowindows or bathrooms directly attached. When it wasoriginally constructed, the ICU had enough room toaccommodate the medical technology of the early 1980s.But advances in medicine call for more equipment, andmore equipment calls for more room.

“Especially in the ICU, you have so much equipment,”Chief Nursing Officer Charlotte Mather said. “Getting allof that equipment set up in there right now is a chal-lenge.”

The project will double the size of each room. The roomswill be equipped with booms overtop of the bed holdingupdated medical care technology while providing morespace for staff members. At least four ICU staff are alwayson hand, and that number increases with each patient.

“(The current technology) works — don’t get me wrong— patients get great care; but there are new expandedtechnologies we would like to have,” Mather said.

Patient-focused medical care has become the heart of

SMH’s plan for expansion, Cecile Pattison with SMH com-munity relations said. And while few circumstances willmake a trip to the ICU a joyous experience, the new build-ing can make it at least slightly more pleasant. To beincluded in each of the 11 rooms are individual bathrooms,windows and areas for the family to be near their lovedone’s while they are in recovery.

“We are hoping that it will make for a much better expe-rience for everyone involved,” SMH Foundation ExecutiveDirector Ada Kirven said. “When someone is sick, it’s notjust the individual person, it’s everyone else is affected aswell.”

The kicker for any building project is always cost.Expanding the ICU will cost $6.5 million, but all fundingfor the project will come from private dollars. Fundraisingprojections indicate that the SMH Foundation investmentincome to kick in $2.2 million toward the project, whileupcoming community philanthropy and foundation eventsare expected to make up more than $2.1 million of the proj-ect. Another $2 million will come directly through the hos-pital funds and $170,000 will be earned through hospitalemployee partners.

“The employees here are financially invested in thisexpansion, not just emotionally,” Pattison said.

The SMH board of trustees will have to approve the finaldesigns at their next meeting. Groundbreaking could takeplace as soon as October and construction is likely to lastseveral months. During the renovations, the ICU will uti-lize space in the hospital’s pediatrics facility.

“We’ve had a large number of community membersinvolved already,” Kirven said. “Hopefully, we are on ourway to a new ICU.”

RN Dave Carter talks on the phone at the Intensive Care Unit in Sheridan Memorial Hospital. The hospital is planning to expand the ICU to relieve overcrowding.

Poll: Majority in US wants government to curb prescription costsWASHINGTON (AP) —

Regardless of political affiliation,Americans strongly support gov-ernment action to control pre-scription drug costs, according toa poll released Thursday.

While the 2016 presidential can-didates continue to debatePresident Barack Obama’s 5-year-old law expanding coverage forthe uninsured, the latest KaiserFamily Foundation survey sug-gests the public is shifting toother health care issues.

Overall, 72 percent said the costof prescription medications isunreasonable. Large majoritiessupport requiring pharmaceuti-cal companies to disclose howthey set prices (86 percent); allow-ing Medicare to negotiate drugprices on behalf of beneficiaries(83 percent); limiting what drugcompanies can charge for med-

ications to treat serious illnesses(76 percent); and allowing con-sumers to get prescriptions filledby pharmacies in Canada (72 per-cent) .

“Unlike most things in healthpolicy, there is bipartisan supportfor almost any action we havepolled on that people think willcontrol drug prices,” said DrewAltman, president of the founda-tion, a nonpartisan clearing-house for information on thehealth care system. “EvenRepublicans seem to supportaggressive action by govern-ment.”

Representing the drug compa-nies, the PharmaceuticalResearch and Manufacturers ofAmerica argues that governmentprice controls would stifle aninnovative industry that is deliv-ering cures for life-threatening

illnesses and allowing many peo-ple with chronic disease to leadproductive lives.

But high-priced new drugs,including a $1,000 pill for hepati-tis C, have alarmed the public.Insurers, state Medicaid pro-grams and even the Departmentof Veterans Affairs are complain-ing about the strain on theirbudgets. The VA and Medicaidprograms are both legally enti-tled to lower prices.

Generally, insurers and employ-ers are requiring patients to paya bigger share of the cost of newdrugs. At the same time, pricesfor some of the old generic stand-by medications have soared.

As a result, the drug industryseems to be taking a beatingwhen it comes to public opinion.Only about 4 in 10 in the pollviewed pharmaceutical compa-

nies favorably, about the sameshare that holds a positive opin-ion of oil companies. Even air-lines, the target of consumercomplaints about bag fees and on-time performance, were viewedfavorably by 55 percent.

As a general proposition,Americans prefer marketplacecompetition over governmentregulation to keep drug prices incheck, by 51 percent to 40 per-cent. But the poll found sharppartisan divisions. Seventy-sixpercent of Republicans prefercompetition, while 57 percent ofDemocrat prefer regulation.Independents are about evenlydivided.

The poll found that about halfof Americans take a prescriptionmedication, and of those, 7 in 10say their prescriptions are easyto afford. But one-quarter have

difficulty paying for their drugs,including 43 percent of those whoare in poor health, and 33 percentof those with low incomes.

“The public is more focused onconsumer issues like the price ofdrugs and out-of-pocket coststhan the continuing political bat-tles over the health care law,”said Altman. Americans remaindivided over the Affordable CareAct, which was viewed favorablyby 44 percent, while 41 percentdisapproved. Only 28 percentwant to see a complete repeal of“Obamacare.”

The poll was conducted by tele-phone Aug. 6-11 among a nation-ally representative sample of1,200 adults 18 and older. It has amargin of sampling error of plusor minus 3 percentage points forquestions based on the total sam-ple.

Laramie school district considers transgender

student policyLARAMIE (AP) — A Laramie school

district is considering a policy toextend discrimination protections totransgender and non-gender conform-ing students.

The Laramie Boomerang reportsAlbany County School District No. 1officials say the proposed policy ismeant to ensure that students and stafffeel safe at school.

The school board’s existing bylawsprohibit discrimination based on pro-tected federal categories, includingrace, religion and disability. But guide-lines surrounding transgender andnon-gender conforming students aren’tincluded.

The proposed policy focuses on confi-dentiality, which would prevent the dis-trict from releasing information abouta student’s transgender status to thirdparties. It also suggests schools workclosely with students and families tocreate an appropriate plan for privacy.

The policy passed its first reading ata board meeting Aug. 12, launching a45-day public comment period. JUSTIN SHEELY | THE SHERIDAN PRESS

Report on Iran side deal angersGOP, House Dems claims votes

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican oppo-sition to President Barack Obama’s nucleardeal is flaring over revelations of a secretside agreement involving Iranian inspec-tions. But House Democrats are shruggingoff the report and claiming they have thevotes to back up Obama anyway.

The Associated Press reportedWednesday on a previously undisclosedside deal between Iran and the U.N.’sInternational Atomic Energy Agency thatwould allow Tehran to use its own inspec-tors to investigate a site it has beenaccused of using to develop nuclear arms.

The revelation, based on a document seenby the AP, newly riled Republican lawmak-ers who have been severely critical of thebroader agreement to limit Iran’s futurenuclear programs, signed by the Obamaadministration, Iran and five world powersin July. Those critics have complained thatthe wider deal is unwisely built on trust ofthe Iranians, while the administration hasinsisted it depends on reliable inspections.

“President Obama boasts his dealincludes ‘unprecedented verification.’ Heclaims it’s not built on trust,” said HouseSpeaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. “But theadministration’s briefings on these sidedeals have been totally insufficient — andit still isn’t clear whether anyone at theWhite House has seen the final docu-ments.”

Said House Foreign Affairs CommitteeChairman Ed Royce, R-Calif.:“International inspections should be doneby international inspectors. Period.”

But in an interview with the AP, HouseDemocratic leader Nancy Pelosi questionedthe significance of the revelation, noting itrelates to investigations of past militarywork, not nuclear dealings going forward.“I truly believe in this agreement,” shesaid.

And the California Democrat assertedthat House Democrats have the votes touphold any Obama veto of a congressionalresolution disapproving of the Iran agree-ment. Congress will vote next month onsuch a resolution, but if it is approvedObama has pledged to veto it. A two-thirdsvote in the House and Senate would then benecessary to override him — a tough goalto reach even in a Congress controlled by

Republicans who will likely oppose Obamaunanimously.

“The president’s veto would be sus-tained” if the vote were held today, Pelosisaid, adding she hopes it doesn’t get to thatpoint. “But I feel very confident about it. ...We will sustain the veto.”

Iran on Thursday spoke of “media specu-lation” without denying the report.

Presuming all Republicans opposeObama, it would take 146 Democrats to sus-tain his veto in the House. So far around 55have publicly declared their support; Pelosideclined to say how many others have saidso in private.

Even Senate Majority Leader MitchMcConnell acknowledged earlier this weekthat the two-thirds bar is so high that oppo-nents of the deal are unlikely to be able toclear it. And with the Capitol empty of law-makers and staff with Congress on itsannual six-week summer recess, it was dif-ficult to gauge whether the new disclosureon the side deal would impact Democraticsupport.

In the hours after the side deal becamepublic two more Democratic senators —Joe Donnelly of Indiana and Ed Markey ofMassachusetts — announced their supportfor the deal. That brought the total ofDemocratic senators supporting the deal to25, with just two opposed.

The liberal group Americans United forChange also announced plans Thursday fora $500,000 ad campaign supporting the dealin a half-dozen cities with large Jewishpopulations, countering concerted opposi-tion from the American Israel PublicAffairs Committee and other groups.

The newly disclosed side agreement, foran investigation of the Parchin nuclearsite, was worked out between the IAEA andIran. The United States and the five otherworld powers were not party to it but werebriefed by the IAEA and endorsed it as partof the larger package.

White House National Security Councilspokesman Ned Price said the Obamaadministration was “confident in theagency’s technical plans for investigatingthe possible military dimensions of Iran’sformer program. ... The IAEA has separate-ly developed the most robust inspectionregime ever peacefully negotiated.”

Judge says Tom Brady’s suspension in jeopardyNEW YORK (AP) — A federal judge made

clear Wednesday that the NFL’s four gamesuspension of Tom Brady over “Deflategate”is in jeopardy as the star New England quar-terback returned to practice.

U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman,who’s been asked by the NFL PlayersAssociation to void the suspension, warned aleague lawyer during oral arguments in thescandal over underinflated footballs thatthere was precedent for judges to toss outpenalties issued by arbitrators.

Berman continued to push for a settlementin the dispute — a potential result he called“rational and logical.” But throughout thehearing, he also cited several weaknesses inthe way the NFL handled the controversythat could become the basis for handing avictory to Brady and his union.

After the hearing, Berman met behindclosed doors with both sides for more than anhour before the lawyers left court, saying thejudge asked them not to discuss the negotia-tions publicly. If there is no deal, the

Manhattan judge has said he hopes to rule bySept. 4, six days before the Patriots host thePittsburgh Steelers in the NFL’s season-open-ing game.

Neither Brady nor NFL CommissionerRoger Goodell was in court Wednesday. Bradyreturned to his team after participating innegotiations along with Goodell and lawyerson both sides a day earlier.

US women beat Costa Rica 7-2 in rainy World Cup victory tour stopCHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) — Not even

a thunderstorm could slow down theUnited States in the latest chapter of itsWomen’s World Cup victory tour.

Carli Lloyd and Heather O’Reilly eachscored twice and the United States beatCosta Rica 7-2 on Wednesday night in anexhibition game that included an 83-minute weather delay.

Abby Wambach and Alex Morgan alsoscored for the U.S. in its second friendlysince winning the Women’s World Cup sixweeks ago. The Americans beat Costa Rica8-0 on Sunday in Pittsburgh.

“This team is resilient,” O’Reilly said.

“We bounce back through games, throughtough moments of games and in this situa-tion, it was sort of peculiar circumstancesthat we were able to show our resiliencethrough.”

The U.S. was playing in Chattanooga amonth after the July 16 attacks on two mili-tary facilities here that resulted in thedeaths of four Marines and a sailor. U.S.players wore black armbands as they tookthe field, and a moment of silence was heldbefore the game. The American Outlawsfan group broke into sustained applause inthe fifth minute of the game to honor thefive victims.

U.S. team officials said the U.S. playersplan to autograph the jerseys they’re wear-ing in the game and put them up for auc-tion, with proceeds benefiting theChattanooga Heroes Fund that supportsfamilies of those who were killed orwounded in the attacks.

“Obviously, Chattanooga’s gone througha trying time,” Wambach said. “I think forus to be able to play here, to give some ofthe people of this city something to cheerfor. We want to be a shining light of posi-tivity. I think that we did that this summer.(It was great) for us to go on this 10-gamevictory tour to some of these cities that

might need the lifting up. The crowd isamazing, even amongst the thunderstormsand the lightning. Huge, huge crowd. Hugecheers. Hopefully, we gave the city ofChattanooga something positive to cheerfor.”

The U.S. led 2-0 on goals by Lloyd andO’Reilly when lightning in the area forceda weather delay in the 15th minute.Although rain hadn’t started to fall whenthe game was delayed due to lightning, thestoppage featured heavy rain and dozens oflightning strikes.

De La Rosapitches well

in Rockies’loss to

NationalsDENVER (AP) — Jorge De

La Rosa was solid in sixscoreless innings, going tosome deep counts and work-ing around a flurry of walksto get the job done.

However, his ColoradoRockies teammates couldn’tdo much to help him out.

For the second time in lessthan two weeks the Rockiesstruggled againstWashington ace StephenStrasburg at the plate, andColorado’s relievers gave upfour runs as the Nationalswent on to a 4-1 victoryWednesday night.

“It’s frustrating we could-n’t do anything for Jorge,”Rockies first baseman BenPaulsen said. “We have to bebetter for him when he’spitching like that.”

De La Rosa walked six butleft the game without allow-ing a run after some clutchpitching. He struck outBryce Harper with a runneron third to end the fifth, andworked out of a bases-loaded, one-out jam in thesixth.

“I walked a lot of guys,but I threw a good pitchwhen I needed it,” De LaRosa said.

His offense gave him anearly lead, too. AfterZimmerman misplayedPaulsen’s grounder downthe first-base line for a two-base error in the second, theRockies’ first basemanmoved to third on a ground-out and later scored on awild pitch to put Coloradoup 1-0.

The offense went dry afterthat, however, as Strasburgretired 17 of last 18 battershe faced, including the final10 in his seven innings.

“We knew he was going tobe tough. We had a real hardtime with him a week agoand he was every bit as goodtonight,” Rockies managerWalt Weiss said.

The bullpen couldn’t holdit again.

Gonzalez Germen alloweda two-out double to Harperand walked two straight toload the bases in the sev-enth. Germen then threw awild pitch to RyanZimmerman and Harperscored easily to tie it at 1.

Washington again mount-ed a two-out rally off RafaelBetancourt (2-4) in theeighth. Wilson Ramos sin-gled, pinch-hitter ClintRobinson walked and Werthlined a triple over the gloveof right fielder CarlosGonzalez to make it 3-1.

COURT: NFL’s findings too vagueFROM B1

Berman ordered Brady and Goodellto return to court if they can’t settle,scheduling a tentative Aug. 31 hear-ing.

The league announced in May thatit was suspending Brady over allega-tions he conspired with two Patriotsequipment employees to deflate foot-balls below what league rules allow,to give him a competitive edge inNew England’s victory over theIndianapolis Colts in January’s AFCchampionship game.

Goodell, who by contract with theplayers’ union can act as an arbitra-tor for labor disputes, upheld the sus-pension, touching off the legal battle.

During more than two hours ofarguments by attorneys, the judgenoted other arbitration decisionshave been rejected when a key wit-ness was not allowed to testify as heasked why NFL Executive VicePresident Jeff Pash — who workedon the NFL investigation — could notbe questioned by union lawyers dur-ing the suspension’s appeal.

Arbitration proceedings, whilemore relaxed than court proceedings,are still required to follow dueprocess rules to ensure fairness,Berman said.

“You have to allow someone to

make their case by calling witness-es,” he said.

Berman also suggested that theleague’s finding that Brady was gen-erally aware that game balls werebeing deflated was too vague, notingthat any reference to the Jan. 18game against the Colts was “conspic-uously absent” in a report on an NFLinvestigation that the league used asa basis for the suspension.

Finally, Berman said he could notunderstand how the commissioneropted to keep a four-game suspensionover a fine or a lesser penalty seen inother cases of equipment tampering.In one exchange, he questionedGoodell’s defense of the Brady pun-ishment on the grounds that it wascomparable to penalties on playerscaught using performance enhancingdrugs.

“How is that equal to steroid use?”he asked of the deflation allegations.

“They both go to the integrity ofthe game,” responded NFL lawyerDaniel Nash.

“Well, everything goes to theintegrity of the game,” the judgeshot back.

It was the second week in a row thejudge seemed to lean harder on theNFL in open court, though he againcautioned that he had not yet madeup his mind which side would win.

CHALUPNY: Retiring after WC victory tourFROM B1

“I think we were just hoping these bands ofstorms we were looking at on our phoneswould at some point abate,” U.S. coach JillEllis said.

The majority of the sellout crowd of 20,535stayed through the rain delay, and those fanswere rewarded when the U.S. scored threetimes in the first 8 minutes after play resumed.

“The crowd was awesome,” Lloyd said. “Ithink this was probably one of the best crowdsthat we’ve played in front of. They were loud.They were chanting, screaming. It was reallyawesome, especially after the rain delay, theystill came back and were cheering really loud.”

Wambach started the flurry in the 18thminute by scoring her 184th career interna-tional goal on an assist from Lori Chalupny,who announced Monday she was retiring from

international competition at the end of thistour. Lloyd scored her second goal 2 minuteslater. O’Reilly added her second goal in the23rd minute with a header off a cross fromWambach.

The U.S. made it 6-0 in the 31st minute whenCosta Rica’s Katherine Alvarado inadvertentlyknocked the ball into her own team’s net. TheU.S. team cruised from there to extend itshome unbeaten streak to 98 games. Costa Ricagot goals from Cristin Granados in the 41stminute and Karla Villalobos in the 69thminute. Those marked the first two goals CostaRica has ever scored on the U.S. in 12 meet-ings.

Morgan closed the scoring in the 81st minutein her first appearance since the Women’sWorld Cup. Morgan didn’t play Sunday afterundergoing arthroscopic surgery on her rightknee July 17.

DEAR ABBYPauline Phillips and Jeanne Phillips

ARE YOU MISSING ACHANCE TO SAVE YOURLIFE?

BY MICHAEL ROIZEN,M.D., AND MEHMET OZ,M.D.

In 1736, Ben Franklinfamously said, "An ounce ofprevention is worth a poundof cure." He was talking to

his fellow Philadelphiansabout that city's extremethreat of fire. (He establishedthe Union Fire Company toput out fires if preventionfailed!)

A Centers for DiseaseControl and Prevention'sweekly report recentlysounded the alarm thataround 30 percent of folkswho already have had a heartattack or stroke or who expe-rience angina are not optingfor the prevention that a pen-nies-a-day dose of aspirin canprovide. They pointed outhow 75-162 mg a day (far lessthan an ounce) can preventrecurring cardio problems.That's worth a lot of pounds(and dollars) that you mightotherwise have to spend on acure -- if you're lucky enoughto survive another round ofheart problems.

For folks with stable

ischemic heart disease,aspirin use can cut the riskof another stroke or heartattack by 37 percent, the needfor angioplasty by 53 percentand the risk for unstableangina by 46 percent. (Weeach take 162 mg daily withhalf a glass of warm waterbefore and after to easepotential gastro problems.)

Added bonus: Aspirin alsohelps reduce the risk of atleast nine different cancers.And a 2011 meta-study ofeight randomized clinicalstudies found that dailyaspirin reduced the overallrisk of dying from cancer by20 percent. The largest bene-fit was in avoiding gastroin-testinal cancers, particularlycolorectal cancer. Breast,lung and prostate cancerrisks also were significantlyreduced. Aspirin may be yourounce of prevention.

TEENAGE BOYS NEEDRELIABLE ADVICE ABOUTCONTRACEPTION

DEAR ABBY: In my familyalone, three young womenhave -- by their own admis-sion -- gotten pregnant onpurpose to get theirboyfriends to marry and sup-port them. None of thesemarriages worked out. Thehorrible relationships wereand still are hurtful and dam-aging, not only to the chil-dren, but also to the rest ofthe family. I'm aware of sev-eral other women who haveadmitted to entrapping theirbaby daddy by "forgetting totake their pills," so I knowthis isn't just happening inmy family.

Contraceptive measures forboys are limited and fallible,and I am concerned. Mynephews' mother entrappedtheir now-absent father, so Idoubt she'll mention this tothem. How and when does arelative talk to soon-to-beteen boys about entrapment?-- ANONYMOUS RELATIVE

DEAR RELATIVE: The sub-ject of contraception shouldbe part of an ongoing, age-appropriate conversationabout sex and reproduction.Boys and girls mature physi-cally earlier than they diddecades ago, and because ofthe Internet they are oftenexposed to a wide variety ofinformation.

I do think a warning is inorder because of your regret-table family situation.However, you should beaware that no law dictatesthat a man "has" to marry awoman (or girl) he has gottenpregnant. If a paternity testproves he is the father of thebaby, he IS required to sup-port his child until the child

is no longer a minor.DEAR ABBY: My widowed

mother-in-law began dating aman a few months ago. Myhusband and I are happy forher because he seems to be agood person. She reallyseems to enjoy spending timewith him.

We live in Michigan andshe lives in South Carolina.She told me she has askedhim to come with her thenext time she visits us. I haveno problem with this, but I donot want them to share aroom in my home becausethey're not married. I haveboys who are 10 and 13, and Ithink it would send thewrong message.

Yes, I know I'm old-fash-ioned. Talk about role rever-sal! How do I handle this? --STICKING TO IT

DEAR STICKING TO IT:Handle it by offering to makereservations for your mother-in-law and her gentlemanfriend at a nearby hotel ormotel. And if she asks youwhy, explain it to her as you

explained it to me.DEAR ABBY: I have neigh-

bors whose house I go to inorder to see pay-per-viewfights. I split the cost of thefights and food with them.The problem is, if anyoneelse comes over, they don'tpitch in. Also, they eat thefood I just paid half of.Another issue is I eat for oneand they eat for five, yet wesplit the cost down the mid-dle. How do I resolve this? --SHORT END OF THE DEALIN CALIFORNIA

DEAR SHORT END: Youcould try duking it out, butthe most effective way wouldbe for you to discuss it withyour neighbors, because Iagree what's happening does-n't seem fair to you.

Testing Rio waters: Korean wind surfer taken to hospitalRIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — South Korean

wind surfer Wonwoo Cho got his first ridein an ambulance the other day, taken to aRio de Janeiro hospital with dehydration,vomiting, a headache and dizziness.

Cho is one of four athletes to have “offi-cially” fallen ill so far at the week’sOlympic sailing test event in Rio deJaneiro’s polluted Guanabara Bay. Offi-cials acknowledge the reporting is incom-plete with many teams and some of the 300athletes skittish about disclosing illnesses.

The 20-year-old Cho on Wednesday wasback to “50-60 percent” strength and outtraining, 24 hours after his hospital stay.He said he doesn’t know “the exact reasonwhy I got so sick.”

His coach has fewer doubts.“Probably it’s from the water,” Danny

Ok, Cho’s coach and an exercise physiolo-gist, told The Associated Press on Wednes-day. “It’s kind of a sad story.”

Ok described the water as “smelly” andadded: “Especially in the bay, it’s terrible. Ican’t imagine how they can have racing inthis area.”

Much of the focus at the Olympic sailingtest event — and one earlier this month forrowing — has been on Rio’s polluted wa-ters. Athletes have little choice but to com-pete with local organizers — backed by theInternational Olympic Committee — de-clining to move to cleaner venues for nextyear’s first Olympics in South America,which open Aug. 5, 2016.

An independent five-month analysis byThe Associated Press published July 30 —with research done by a Brazilian virolo-gist — showed dangerously high levels ofviruses from human sewage at all RioOlympic water venues.

Rio state officials, under pressure fromthe IOC and ISAF — the world governingbody of sailing — are using stop-gap meas-

ures to retrieve floating rubbish from thebay, track detritus from helicopters, andstep up bacteria-only monitoring.

Despite the scrutiny, brown sewage con-tinues to flow into the Marina da Gloria atseveral points, which has drawn photosand videos from athletes that have beenwidely viewed on social media.

Ok posted photos on his Facebook page ofCho on a stretcher being lifted into an am-bulance. He accompanied them with criti-cal comments.

“It seems he (Cho) got infected from virussomewhere in the racing site which is sup-posed to be safe and clean as an Olympicvenue,” wrote Ok, a three-time Olympicwind surfer. “More than 10 years of life-time effort can be destroyed in one day!”

“IOC and ISAF must consider how thesafety issue will be improved for the nextyear,” he added.

The IOC has declined to endorse testing

for viruses, which can cause stomach andrespiratory ailments that could knock anathlete out of competition. Ok acknowl-edged that maybe he did not protect Chosufficiently for the polluted conditions.

“Maybe there is a problem for us, notpreparing enough,” Ok said.

Dr. Nebojsa Nikolic, the top medical offi-cial of the ISAF, said it is difficult to get allsailors to concentrate on basic hygiene:washing hands, showering, getting shotsfor hepatitis A and typhoid and takingother preventative measures.

“They simply have to do these things,”Nikolic told the AP Wednesday. “This ispart of their game, this is part of havingsports success.”

Nikolic said he hoped to have more com-plete data on illnesses after the test eventends Saturday. He said it’s difficult to linkillness to the causes and said athletes oftentake risks.

Omarr’s Daily Astrological Forecast Jeraldine Saunders

BIRTHDAY GAL: ActressLoretta Devine was born inHouston, Texas, today in1949. This birthday gal'sportrayal of Adele Webberon "Grey's Anatomy"earned her a 2011 Emmyaward. She's also been a se-ries regular on "The ClientList," "Eli Stone" and"Boston Public." On the bigscreen, Devine's resume in-cludes roles in "The Soundand the Fury," "Madea's BigHappy Family" and "I AmSam."

ARIES (March 21-April19): Give your public imageand reputation some dedi-cated thought. You mayneed to crack the whip toensure that you and othersmeet deadlines. Colleagueswill understand the needfor some prodding andpushing.

TAURUS (April 20-May20): To maintain harmony,you're likely to agree tothings you'll regret later.The seeds of a great ideamight not be ready tosprout, so set them aside foranother time. Avoid mak-ing crucial decisions orchanges.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):Your vulnerabilities leaveyou open to problems. Youmay be overly concernedthat others like you and for-get to adhere to sound busi-ness practices. Someonecould take advantage ofyour kind nature.

CANCER (June 21-July22): Keep your little noseout of someone else's busi-ness and put it back to thegrindstone. Some extra ef-fort and attention to detailwill pay off in the future.

Don't be afraid to be toughas nails when necessary.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):Avoid making majorchanges, as there's a cosmicred light in the heavens. Ifyou stick to the rules, anddon't take resentment andcriticism too personally;you'll emerge from any con-frontation unscathed.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):Seek perfection withoutbeing too picky. Ambitionsare stirred under thesestars. You can screw yourcourage to the stickingpoint and get much accom-plished. Ignore whims andconcentrate on the tasks athand.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):Tomorrow is another day.The quickest way to doubleyour money is to stick itback in your wallet. You

might overlook the fineprint or ignore warningsigns when gripped by apassing enthusiasm.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.21): Everything in its placeand a place for everything.Create the desired effect bytaking determined actionwhen necessary. You canachieve your dreams if youkeep checking the rear-viewmirror.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Practice makesperfect. Whether you aspireto be a body builder, a neatfreak, or an organizationalgenius, you've got the rightstuff. Get all your ducks inan orderly row.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.19): Never test the depth ofthe water with both feet.Your business expertisecould fail you in a current

situation. To avoid makinga mistake, steer clear ofcontracts or irrevocable de-cisions right now.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18): Sit it out. A romanticpersonal relationship begununder these stars might notlive up to your expecta-tions. People may misun-derstand your intentions ina social setting or duringthe course of a businesstransaction.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March20): You're blessed by an in-spirational outlook. Innerfaith and a deeply serenephilosophy will act as ananchor if storm clouds blowthrough your life this week-end. Avoid starting impor-tant new ventures.

IF AUGUST 21 IS YOURBIRTHDAY: With energylevels high during the next

four to six weeks, you canmeet every challenge headon. If you tap your keenbusiness sense, you'llemerge more confident ofyour abilities by the end ofOctober. Hold off and don'tmake key financial or ca-reer changes in January,when your business acu-men is at a low point. Feb-ruary is a great month totake a vacation or enjoy aromantic holiday. DuringMarch, you can enjoy moregroup social activities.Throughout March andApril, you'll shine at theworkplace, in business af-fairs, or can earn careerkudos.

Bridge Phillip Alder

DO NOT ASSUME HE ISCRAZY

Niels Bohr, a Danishphysicist who won a NobelPrize in 1922, said, "Yourtheory is crazy, but it's notcrazy enough to be true."

At the bridge table, do notassume your opponent iscrazy. This deal occurredduring a social game inwhich South was thestrongest player.

After South opened twoclubs, and West overcalledtwo spades, North wanted tomake a penalty double. Butsystem dictated that he bid

two no-trump to show three"controls," either threekings or an ace and a king.After three natural bids,North control-bid (cue-bid)four spades to show that aceand a hand suitable for playin diamonds. He realizedthat his singletonking was at least asvaluable as two lowcards -- and here thediamond king wasmuch more valu-able than the spadeking would havebeen.

Then West,who did not like thesound of the auc-tion, crazily dou-bled. South,knowing what hewas doing, happilyredoubled.

West consideredleading the club ace,hoping his partnerhad a singleton, butdecided North-South would havementioned the suitwith a nine-card fit.So West led thespade king.

The declarer

ruffed in his hand, played adiamond to dummy's king,ruffed another spade, drewtrumps, and led his clubking. West won, but Southhad the rest. He claimed1,930 points, including 100points for honors.

Hints from Heloise Heloise

Upside-Down MedicationMethod?

Dear Heloise: Ever havedifficulty rememberingwhether you took a medica-tion? I'd like to share a fool-proof way to know. Whenyou take the medication,turn the bottle UPSIDEDOWN. -- Christine in Lees-burg, Fla.

Christine, thanks forwriting. I must caution myreaders: This hint maywork for you, but it's reallynot safe or recommended.What if someone moves thebottle, it falls over or isknocked off the counter?Far better to keep a littlelist, notepad or sticky notenearby. Mark down thetimes taken or simplya.m./p.m. It only takes a fewseconds. -- Your friend,Heloise

GET KIDS TO TALKDear Readers: Your kids

are young for such a shorttime. Here's a simple andfun way to get conversa-tions started. You KNOWhow hard that is with kids!This hint is thanks to Anna,a new Heloise Central TeamMember.

The first step: Put cell-phones and tablets away.No distractions, just conver-sation.

Use 3-by-5-inch or 5-by-7-inch cards and write onequestion on each card. Hereare some examples:

"What did you do inschool today? Give an exam-ple."

"If you could travel to any-where, where would you go,and why?"

"Who is your favoritewriter, athlete or teacher,and why?"

"What do you like or notlike about your best friend?"

Put the cards facedown inthe center of the table, andhave each person take oneat the start of the meal.Take turns, and discuss.You may find out moreabout your children thanyou knew. Try it! -- Hugs,Heloise

PRETTY PLATESDear Heloise: I go to a lot

of picnics in the summer. Ibuy aluminum pans of dif-ferent sizes to put food in. Ithen decorate the pans withdecals and flowers. Theylook festive, and no cleanupfor the hostess! -- Margie inReading, Pa.

TOWEL TROUBLEDear Heloise: I have a

towel dilemma! No matter ifI add softener to the rinse oruse dryer sheets, the towelsdon't come out soft any-more. They are stiff andrough when dried. I wouldappreciate getting softnessback in my towels. Thankyou! -- Faye in Lufkin, Texas

Too much fabric softener,too much detergent andoverstuffing the washer allcan contribute to the prob-lem. Also, line drying.Here's my classic HeloiseHint: Wash the towels withNO detergent, but add only1 cup of ammonia and rinseTWICE. Using fabric sof-tener is OK, but more isNOT better. Maybe everythird or fourth wash. --Heloise

HANG JEWELRYDear Readers: I have SEV-

ERAL pendants and chains.The best way I've found toorganize them is to put allof the pendants on one goldchain. They hang beauti-fully, and I don't have to digthrough my jewelry boxlooking for the right pen-dant. -- Heloise

SHINY SINK Dear Heloise: I have a

stainless-steel kitchen sink.By accident, I left it full ofdishwater overnight. Thedish soap in the water madethe dull sink shine! I useyour hints often. -- Carolynin Fairbanks, La.

Lake FishingLike the streams, lower elevationlakes like DeSmet, Tongue RiverReservoir and Healy are all fishingfairly slow with the recent hotweather and warm water temps.These conditions might remainuntil early September. But highermountain lakes are still fishingvery well. Head to any of yourfavorites like Sibley, Meadowlark,Tie Hack or Park Reservoirs. Smallspinner lures, small wet flies andterrestrial flies are producing lotsof fish. Call the Sport’s Lure at684-7682 for daily information.

Tailwater FisheriesBig Horn River flows are now at2,490 CFS. Water temperaturesare very warm and the moss isgrowing fast. Black Caddis aretapering away and beingreplaced by late afternoonPseudo’s (#20 & #22). Tricosare showing more each dayvery early with the warm morn-ings. Unless you see rising fish,stick with nymphing the fasterwater. The North Platte’s wateris still cool with minimal mossgrowth. Fishing’s good withsome Tricos in the morning, andPMD’s in the afternoons.

Mountain bikers getting a new dedicated trail in Juneau

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — By the end of themonth, for the first time ever, Juneau’s moun-tain biking community will be able to bike (atleast the beginnings of) a trail that’s just forthem.

The trail, a joint project of Eaglecrest SkiArea and the Juneau Mountain Bike Alliance,got underway at the ski area last week.

It’s a mile and a half-long “flow-style” trail,meaning it’s designed for a minimum of bothbraking and pedaling, with 34 berms at 34turns along the way. The berms are intendedto help bikers turn without skidding onto therest of Hooter ski run, where the entire trailis located.

With all the switchbacks, the average gradeis less than six percent, said JuneauMountain Bike Alliance President JackKreinheder, who has been a big force behindthe project.

It starts at the top of Hooter Chairlift, endsat the Ski Club race shack, and is composed ofa mixture of compacted rock and dirt laidovertop of a geotextile fabric. It should bebike-able by those age 8 and up, Kreinhedersaid. For more advanced riders, there aresome optional jumps and drops.

It intersects Eaglecrest’s service road abouttwo-thirds of the way down, so he anticipatesriders will be able to bike up the service road

and bike down the bottom third as they’reworking on the upper two-thirds, just as theywill with the trail as a whole once it’s com-pleted. That should happen by the end ofAugust.

Bruce Griggs, co-owner of SJSConstruction, which is doing the work on thetrail, is a self-described “big time mountainbiker.”

“I understand what a mountain bike traillooks like,” he said as he and Kevin Sledgetook a brief break from laying and compact-ing gravel, then landscaping the sides of thetrail with ferns and other greenery.

Forrest Bowers, a member of the JuneauMountain Bike Alliance, showed up onWednesday to help build the trail. He’s beenriding for about 15 years, he said, and justrecently returned to Juneau from WhistlerMountain Bike Park in British Columbia.

“It’s great,” he said of the trail. “This willbe the first bike specific trail that we have inJuneau. We have some nice trails herealready, but it will be good to have a trail builtfor riding.”

Bowers said he feels like mountain bike rid-ership locally has doubled in the last fiveyears, but that he hopes the trail will increaseboth ridership and awareness.

It’s hard to pin down a completion date,

Kreinheder said — the trail may end up cost-ing more money than they have. The roadaccess through Eaglecrests’s service roadmakes it cheaper than it could otherwise be;the need to import gravel, for a hard ridingsurface on muskeg, increases it dramatically.

They got a $50,000 recreational trails grantand are hoping to raise between $10,000 and$15,000 in a fundraising campaign throughboth the Juneau Community Foundation andTrail Mix. Right now, they’re at about $8,000.Those interested can make donations throughthe Juneau Community Foundation website.

The first project on Eaglecrests’s list ofeight prioritized trails was an extension ofthe service road to the top of Hooter, saidMatt Lillard, General Manager of Eaglecrest.It’ll make it more efficient for the ski area toservice the top of the road, and bikers willalso be able to hook into the trail a little high-er than they otherwise would. The new roadwill also provide access to a future trail at thetop of Cropley Lake.

Once the mountain bike trail is built, saidLillard, the ski area will maintain it with thehelp of volunteers.

“We’re really excited for the mountain biketrail,” he said. “We think it’s going to have alot of use. We’re hoping the use and market isthere to get more people up here.”
