Marine re-enlists

after 20 yearsBY MIKE DUNN

MIKE.DUNN@THESHERIDANPRESS.COM

SHERIDAN — Fred Moye’stime in the military was any-thing but typical.

He joined the NationalGuard at 17, switched branch-es halfway through his firstyears of service, then 20 yearslater re-enlisted in theNational Guard and foundhimself in the middle of Iraqat the age of 46.

A self-described “Armybrat,” Moye grew up sur-rounded by military veterans.His uncles all fought in WorldWar II while another served inVietnam. But perhaps thebiggest influence on Moye’sfuture in the military was hisfather, a World War II veteran.

“I think I always knew I wasgoing to spend at least onehitch in the military,” Moyesaid.

Moye joined the NationalGuard while he was still inhigh school, attending bootcamp the summer between hisjunior and senior years.

He had hoped to travel theworld with the NationalGuard but that dream wasquickly shattered with post-Vietnam realities as mostNational Guard units stayedhome.

County consideringupdates to

business permitoptions

BY ZACHARY WHITEZACHARY@THESHERIDANPRESS.COM

SHERIDAN — Starting a business like a carwash, day care or bed and breakfast may becomeeasier for new business owners in the county.

The county Planning and Zoning Commissionis working to update which types of permits areavailable to county residents and businesses.

Other than an occasional small change, the listof available permits hasn’t been reworked since1992, County Planner Mark Reid said.

Changes are being proposed to either add oreliminate items from the list of permits avail-able.

“Car washes, interesting, not permitted any-where in the county right now,” Reid said. “So if

you wanted to do a car wash, say, ina commercial district in the countyyou couldn’t do it without goingthrough the (conditional use permit)process. What a pain.”

Conditional use permits are need-ed when someone wants to buildsomething on a piece of land thatisn’t zoned for that type of building.In order to get one, an application

must be submitted and a public hearing held.

SIGNS OFGROWTH?

BY TRAVIS PEARSONTRAVIS@THESHERIDANPRESS.COM

SHERIDAN — Revenuesfrom building permitsincreased for Sheridan in fis-cal year 2015, marking thethird consecutive annual gainfor the city.

Although the total numberof permits decreased from FY2014, city building officialKevin Bare said many largeprojects and a wet springhelped revenues surpass lastyear’s levels.

Ongoing and recent develop-ment includes the new lockerrooms at Sheridan HighSchool and expansions at theFairfield Inn and Suites,Sheridan College and KoltiskaDistillery, among others.

“We have just had a surge incommercial, and it’s beengreat,” Bare said.

The city issued 863 buildingpermits in FY 2015. FY 2014resulted in 1,847 permits —many of which came due to ahailstorm — and FY 2013 had591 permits.

City permits are based on afee schedule. Smaller homeprojects cost homeowners flatfees. Re-roofing after a hail-storm, for example, costs $150.Water heater or furnacereplacements cost $40.

Permits for bigger construc-tion ventures, like commercialdevelopment or new subdivi-sions, bring the city a percent-age of the property valuation— ultimately generating morerevenue.

The increase in large proj-ects and building permit rev-enue paints a positive pictureof the overall Sheridan econo-my, according to Chamber ofCommerce CEO DixieJohnson.

“Our real estate, both devel-opers, new construction andresale, has been performingvery well this year,” she said.

And Sheridan could be ripefor even more development.Johnson said affordable hous-ing — both for rent and forpurchase — continues to be inshort supply.

UW challenges apartmentproperty tax ruling

CHEYENNE (AP) — TheUniversity of Wyoming ischallenging a state taxboard’s decision that itmust pay property taxes ona relatively new $15 millionstudent apartment complexon the Laramie campus.

The Bison Run Villageapartments, located east ofWar Memorial Stadium,opened in the fall of 2012and houses about 330 stu-dents. The university man-ages and operates the com-plex but does not own it. Inorder to build the complex,the university had to enterinto a complex financingarrangement with a non-profit corporation thathelps colleges finance cam-pus housing.

“We certainly are operat-ing it, and it’s part of ourcampus housing,” UWspokesman Chad Baldwinsaid. “We pay for everybodywho runs it and everybodywho works there.”

However, the AlbanyCounty Assessor deter-mined that the complex wasa commercial operation andshould be subject to localproperty taxes. The AlbanyCounty Board ofEqualization ruled againstthe assessor and said itshould be exempt.

The State Board ofEqualization, which decidestax disputes in the state,overturned the AlbanyCounty board’s ruling lastmonth.

UW then filed a petition inAlbany County DistrictCourt this past week seek-ing to have the state board’sdecision reversed.

Baldwin said the annualproperty tax bill at stake isabout $70,000.

The three-member StateBoard of Equalization has a

standing policy of not com-menting on any of its deci-sions.

The board concluded inits decision that “BisonRun’s primary purpose iscommercial in nature”because of the financingarrangement UW craftedwith the nonprofit organiza-tion that built the complex.

Under the arrangement,UW, which is the state’sonly public four-year uni-versity, won’t gain owner-ship of the Bison Run com-plex until the debt is paidoff.

UW officials disagree thatthe apartments are a com-mercial operation.

“There is no evidence thatBison Run is being run as a‘commercial’ operation;rather, the income generat-ed from Bison Run isfocused on cost recovery toensure the bonds used tofinance it are paid back,”UW’s petition states.

UW officials also notedwith special concern thatthe state board’s reasons forruling against the universi-ty included the argumentthat students are notrequired to live in the apart-ment complex and thereforeit is not primarily used for agovernmental purpose,which are allowed the taxexemption.

“So extending that line ofreasoning we see a potentialfor taxation of other cam-pus dwellings,” Baldwinsaid.

The only UW studentsrequired to live on campusare freshmen, who stay inresidence halls.

UW has three other stu-dent apartment complexessimilar to the Bison Runapartments, although theuniversity owns them.

Former Casper high school library worker may take plea deal

CASPER (AP) — A former Casper high school libraryworker who has been charged with abusing her daughtermay agree to a plea deal in the case.

The Casper Star-Tribune reports the trial for RobertaShane was set to begin Monday, but her attorney notifiedthe court of a possible plea change in the case. Shane, aformer library media technician at Roosevelt HighSchool, pleaded not guilty to child abuse and endanger-ing a child in May.

Her then-9-year-old daughter told police she had beenrepeatedly locked in the family’s garage and forced tosleep on a cot in the laundry room. A child psychologistwho examined the girl told authorities she showed signsof emotional abuse and hadn’t received adequate food.

Shane’s change of plea hearing hasn’t yet been set.

Sale of Forest Service in Jackson is off

JACKSON (AP) — The tract of U.S. Forest Service landin downtown Jackson is on the market again.

A proposed deal between a prospective buyer and theBridger-Teton National Forest has fallen through.

Bridger-Teton Supervisor Tricia O’Connor confirmedthat the property is no longer under contract with devel-opers who were attempting to buy the 10-acre propertyfor $12 million.

Attorney Chris Hawks, speaking on behalf of thedevelopers, says Jackson’s zoning requirements on work-force housing are “practically impossible to complywith.”

The Jackson Hole News & Guide reports that the col-lapsed deal is just the latest in a series of twists andturns that have followed the land sale since the propertywent on the market in 2013. The sale has been trickybecause of uncertainty over zoning of the land.

Wyoming to host international coal conference in October

LARAMIE (AP) — International energy experts willgather in Jackson this fall to explore new opportunitiesfor coal, through carbon engineering and carbon dioxideutilization and storage.

The fifth International Advanced Coal TechnologiesConference is set for Oct. 6-7.

The event is hosted by the University of Wyoming’sSchool of Energy Resources, Australia’s CommonwealthScientific and Industrial Research Organization, and theUniversity of Queensland, in conjunction with a Chineseenergy resources and chemical engineering institute.

Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead is among those scheduled tospeak at this year’s conference.

Sessions will include presentations on government reg-ulatory and policy actions affecting coal and the globalindustrial outlook.

Burning barley fields addressed inWashakie County

WORLAND (AP) — The practice by farmers of burn-ing fields after the barley harvest in Washakie Countyhas raised complaints from some people about air quali-ty.

Worland resident Bill Williamson tells the NorthernWyoming Daily News that he experiences negativehealth effects which he believes is due to burning barleyfields.

Williamson approached the Washakie County commis-sioners this month about the issue.

County Commissioner Terry Wolf called said the prob-lem is an ongoing issue.

Wolf says he met with officials from the WyomingDepartment of Environmental Quality and local farmersto discuss a solution to the problem.

For now, Wolf says, the issue comes down to farmersbeing courteous by burning on days when the wind takesthe smoke away from town.

UW BSL-3 laboratory re-design under way

LARAMIE (AP) — The University of Wyoming’sbiosafety level three laboratory is being re-designed toallow research on brucellosis.

The BSL-3 lab is the second-highest safety designationawarded by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control andPrevention and would allow university staff to workwith pathogens not permitted in the current facility.

Wyoming State Veterinary Laboratory Director WillLaegreid says the lab allows UW researchers to worksafely on some fairly serious disease-causing agents.

The UW lab works mostly with the pathogen that caus-es brucellosis.

Laegreid tells the Laramie Boomerang that research-ing the disease is important to both wildlife groups andranchers throughout the state.

Elk and bison are most susceptible to brucellosis, but italso can spread to cattle and in rare cases to humans.

Jackson school bus scam nets 6 months jail for Idaho man

JACKSON (AP) — A judge has sentenced a 44-year-oldIdaho man to six months in the county jail for embez-zling more than $150,000 from the Teton County SchoolDistrict in northwest Wyoming.

In addition to the jail time, Judge Timothy Day orderedAnthony Robinson, of Victor, Idaho, to repay $161,000 tothe school district and serve seven-year supervised pro-bation term.

The Jackson Hole News & Guide reports that Robinsonwas contrite, apologetic and emotional during his sen-tencing this past week.

Formerly the school’s lead bus mechanic, Robinsonadmitted he used a school district credit card in hisname to purchase unneeded bus parts then resold themfor his own gain.

He carried out his scheme for roughly three yearsbefore one of the companies noticed the scam.

WYOMING BRIEFS | Americans waiting longer than ever to buy first homesWASHINGTON (AP) — Short of

cash and unsettled in their careers,young Americans are waiting longerthan ever to buy their first homes.

The typical first-timer now rentsfor six years before buying a home,up from 2.6 years in the early 1970s,according to a new analysis by thereal estate data firm Zillow. Themedian first-time buyer is age 33 —in the upper range of the millennialgeneration, which roughly spansages 18 to 34. A generation ago, themedian first-timer was about threeyears younger.

The delay reflects a trend that cutsto the heart of the financial chal-lenges facing millennials: Rentersare struggling to save for down pay-ments. Increasingly, too, they’re fac-ing delays in some key landmarks ofadulthood, from marriage and chil-dren to a stable career, according toindustry and government reports.

These shifts help explain whyhomeownership, long a source ofmiddle class identity and economicopportunity, has started to decline.The share of the U.S. population whoown homes has slid to 63.4 percent, a48-year low, according to the CensusBureau.

And when young adults do sign thedeed, their purchase price is nowsubstantially more, relative to their

income, than it was decades ago.First-time buyers are paying a medi-an price of $140,238, nearly 2.6 timestheir income. In the early 1970s, thestarter home was just 1.7 timesincome.

Millennials are “still very interest-ed in buying a house, but they’redelaying that decision,” said SvenjaGudell, chief economist at Zillow.“Once they start having kids, theybegin looking for homes. We’re alsofinding that — given how muchrental rates are currently rising — alot of folks are having a hard timesaving for a down payment and qual-ifying for a mortgage.”

Millennials increasingly find them-selves in a situation like that of LouFlores, a 30-year-old portfolio manag-er in San Diego. He shares a one-bed-room apartment with his boyfriend,paying $1,400 a month to live withinwalking distance of Balboa Park andthe zoo.

Flores’ parents had built their nestegg by steadily upgrading theirhomes, ingraining him with thenotion that “renting was a waste ofmoney.” But the median home in SanDiego costs more than a half milliondollars, according to the area’s asso-ciation of Realtors.

So Flores figures ownership is atleast a few years away.

“Here in California, if you’re notmarried or with someone, it’s impos-sible to buy a home without finan-cial backing from your parents,”Flores said.

Few first-timers around the coun-try can lean on their parents. Amonghomebuyers last year under age 34,14 percent received down paymenthelp from family or friends, accord-ing to a Federal Reserve survey.

Most first-timers still depend onpersonal savings for at least some oftheir down payments. But risingrental prices have complicated thetask of socking away money for adown payment.

Fueled by a surge of renters acrossall age ranges, rental prices national-ly have grown at roughly twice thepace of average hourly wage growth,which was a paltry 2.1 percent overthe past year.

A result is that those prices areconsuming more income. A striking46 percent of renters ages 25 to 34 —the core of the millennial population— spend more than 30 percent oftheir incomes on rent, up from 40percent a decade earlier, accordingto a report by Harvard University’sJoint Center of Housing Studies.(The housing industry generallyregards a figure above 30 percent asfinancially burdensome.)

Traffic deaths up sharply in first 6 months of this year

WASHINGTON (AP) — Traffic deathswere up 14 percent nationally in the firstsix months of this year and injuries wereup by a third, according to data gatheredby the National Safety Council.

An improved economy and low gasprices have encouraged Americans to puta record number of miles on the road,said Deborah A.P. Hersman, president ofthe council. But, she said, that’s not thewhole explanation for the increase indeaths and injuries.

All told, nearly 19,000 people across thecountry lost their lives in traffic acci-dents through June, and the tally doesn’tinclude two of the historically highestmonths for traffic deaths, July andAugust, said the council, a nonprofitorganization created by Congress to pro-mote safety.

If the trend continues, traffic deathsthis year could exceed 40,000 for the firsttime since 2007, when there were nearly44,000 deaths, Hersman said in an inter-view. The increases began in the lastquarter of 2014 and have been recordedconsistently through each month of thisyear, Hersman said.

“As a safety professional, it’s not justdisappointing but heartbreaking to seethe numbers trending in the wrong direc-tion,” she said.

The nation’s driving steadily increased

for 15 consecutive months through May,the Transportation Department said inJuly. Americans drove 1.26 trillion milesin the first five months of 2015, passingthe previous record, 1.23 trillion, set inMay 2007.

However, the cumulative increase invehicle mileage this year through May is3.4 percent, far less than the 14 percentincrease in deaths, Hersman noted. Also,the estimated annual mileage death rateso far this year is 1.3 deaths per 100 mil-lion vehicle miles traveled, up from thepreliminary 2014 rate of 1.2 deaths.

Other safety trends are at play as well.In recent decades, deaths due to crashesinvolving drunken driving have droppedfrom about 50 percent of fatalities toabout 30 percent, she said. Teen drivingdeaths are also down, and seatbelt use isup. And cars have more safety technolo-gy than ever, although drivers sometimesdon’t use it or don’t know how to use it,Hersman said.

On the other hand, a growing numberof states are raising speed limits, andeverywhere drivers are distracted by cell-phone calls and text messages. The coun-cil estimated in a report this spring thata quarter of all crashes involve cellphoneuse. Besides fatal crashes, that includesinjury-only and property damage-onlycrashes.

INFLUENCE:Mentorship

FROM 1

As an executive coach forFortune 500 executives,Diamond has made her ownlegacy in helping women toachieve success.

She acts as the chieflearning officer for theWomen Presidents’Organization — the onlyinternational group of itskind — serving women whorun multi-million-dollarcompanies.

Nominations will openagain for Wyoming’sWomen of Influence nextyear in the late spring.Previous winners cannot benominated again.

CHANGES:Early stages

FROM 1

That process may changeunder the proposed rules.

Another addition to per-mits the county is propos-ing is a home day care facil-ity permit. The county cur-rently allows for the use ofcommercial property to runa home day care. Under theproposed changes, individu-als could get a day care per-mit for in their home with-out a hearing.

While some permits willbecome easier to get, otherswill now require a CUP.

For example, dude ranch-es do not have a specificbusiness definition in code,allowing owners a lot of lee-way.

By requiring dude ranchowners to get a conditionaluse permit, new businesseswill have to outline busi-ness models for the countybefore they begin opera-tions.

In other instances, remov-ing business permits fromavailability benefits busi-ness owners.

Home occupation current-ly has permits available,but that means a home busi-ness requires that a home-owner get a permit.

Reid said by removing itfrom the list people workingout of their homes won’tneed a permit at all, as longas the home is still used pri-marily as a residence.

The proposed changes tobusiness permits are in theearly stages and subject tochange.

The Planning and ZoningCommission will discussthem again in Septemberbefore holding public meet-ings in October. InNovember, county commis-sioners are expected to takefinal action on whether ornot to accept the changes.

BUILDING: Real estate market strong, still need affordable housingFROM 1

“When we talk to employers who are recruit-ing employees for their businesses, or we’vetalked to people who are relocating toSheridan, it remains a challenge in finding thehousing,” she said. “That definitely does indi-cate that our real estate has remained really

healthy.”Looking ahead, Johnson said Chamber repre-

sentatives continue to monitor the federalcrackdown on coal and natural gas prices asindicators of Wyoming’s overall economichealth. While Sheridan is better equipped tohandle booms and busts than much of thestate, the natural resources industry profound-ly affects the entire state, including the num-

ber of homes built and large commercial proj-ects that are undertaken.

For the city, it’s too early to project numbersfor FY2016, which began in July. July numberswere down compared to last year, but Barepointed out the biggest month of FY 2015 didnot come until May.

“July was just a little bit slower,” he said.“It’s not unusual to see that kind of lag.”

RE-ENLIST: Served in Iraq with the National Guard in 2005

FROM 1

But at 22, Moye and a fellow Guardsman hadthe wild idea of leaving the Guard to join theMarines. Four days later, he and his friendwere on their way to boot camp for the MarineCorps.

“I remember standing there getting yelled atby a Marine drill instructor thinking, ‘Fred,what the hell did you do to yourself ?’” Moyesaid laughing.

But the transition into the Marines paid off.Moye spent most of his time in the Marinesaboard the U.S.S. Midway, which was one ofthe only duty assignments outside of the U.S.at that time. He spent two years in the PacificOcean aboard the carrier.

By the time his service in the Marines hadexpired in the mid-1980s, Moye was ready for abreak from the military. He grew his hair long,learned the bass guitar and began playing in abar band.

But that life plan came to a screeching haltafter the events of Sept. 11, 2001, and Moye

was among many who joined the military fol-lowing the terrorist attacks.

“War is typically fought by young men, but itshould be everybody’s conflict,” Moye said ofhis decision to re-enlist.

Within six months of re-enlisting in theNational Guard in November 2005, 20 yearsafter he retired from the Marines, Moyereceived orders that his unit would bedeployed to Iraq.

His unit eventually made their way to Tikritwhere it carried out escort missions duringwhich the soldiers were commonly at risk dueto improvised explosive devices.

“I was never in a vehicle that was shot at orblown up, but every time we would pull out,something would happen,” Moye said.

At 46 years old, Moye was one of the oldestmembers in his unit, but he didn’t have nearthe amount of combat experience that many ofhis brothers and sisters in arms did. Still,Moye built friendships with those who wereborn around the time his first tour of dutyhad expired.

“When you are in combat, you don’t thinkabout politics or anything else,” Moye said.“All you think about is making sure you andyour buddy make it home safe.”

Moye eventually retired from the NationalGuard in 2011 when he was 50 years old.

Though Moye said he does not plan on re-enlisting in the military again, his service tohis country is far from over.

He currently works in the dietary depart-ment at the Veterans Affairs Medical Centerin Sheridan.

After seeing many veterans suffer fromdepression and post-traumatic stress disorderafter their service, Moye has decided to attendSheridan College to work toward becoming acounselor for veterans.

Moye, now in his mid-50s, said he is still sev-eral years away from earning his degree, butage hasn’t stopped him before and it won’tstop him now.

“I may be totally grey by the time I get my(bachelor’s) degree, but I want to finish,” Moyesaid.

VOA official says no new safety protocols needed following attack

BY ZACHARY WHITEZACHARY@THESHERIDANPRESS.COM

SHERIDAN — Following a shooting thatleft two men dead at a Volunteers of Americafacility in Riverton, officials from the non-profit said they’re not implementing anynew safety precautions.

A Riverton parks employee walked into aVOA detoxification center in Riverton andshot two sleeping men in the head. Bothmen, James Goggles Jr. and Stallone Trosper— members of the Northern Arapahoe tribe— died from their wounds following the July18 attack.

Roy Clyde, 32, confessed to the shooting topolice afterward.

Heath Steel, executive vice president ofoperations for VOA Northern Rockies, saidthere was nothing that could have been doneto prevent the attack.

He added that the security protocols inplace at the time of the attack did their job.

Most of the VOA facilities already practicelock-down, lock-in and regular safety train-ing.

“(They) worked that day,” Steel said. “Theyworked to protect our staff.”

There were 10 people in the building theday of the attack.

Because of the measures already in place,Steel said, no one else was harmed.

Steel wouldn’t give specifics on what proto-cols are already in place at the facilities. He

said releasing that information could becounterproductive.

However, he did say the facility would con-tinue to operate as it did before, with peoplebeing able to enter and exit “based on clini-cal appropriateness.”

Some of the VOA facilities in Sheridanhave similar procedures for letting peopleenter the nonprofit’s buildings.

But Steel said there isn’t a lot that goodplanning can do for a situation like this.

“There was some real extreme circum-stances with this,” Steel said. “It’s almostnon-comprehendible.”

Executive Vice President ofAdministration Julie Bettcher said the VOAemployees in Riverton all returned to workwhen the facility reopened after the attack.

Following the shooting, Bettcher said, herphone was ringing off the hook for an entireweek. VOA workers from across the nationwere offering to help in any way they could.

“It affected us greatly,” she said. “It rockedall of us.”

VOA Northern Rockies still has a group ofemployees at the Riverton branch to supportthe local workers in whatever way is needed.

“(The staff members) are just so passion-ate about what they do, and they are leaningon one another,” Bettcher said.

VOA Northern Rockies is based inSheridan and operates facilities in Sheridanand programs throughout the states ofWyoming, Montana and South Dakota.

Veteran Fred Moye served as a Marine after Vietnam. He later re-enlisted in the National Guard and was deployed for a tour in Iraq in 2005. Moye currently worksat the Sheridan Veteran Affairs Medical Center where he hopes to someday work as a counselor to help his fellow veterans.

2016 hopefuls hit the gym

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Scott Walkeris counting steps on his FitBit. Jeb Bushswears by the Paleo diet. Bobby Jindal is a“gym rat.”

With long travel days and a fresh slab ofcherry pie never far away, the campaigntrail is notoriously unhealthy. But many2016 presidential candidates are striving tomake smart lifestyle choices as they tourthe small town diners and pizza places ofthe early voting states.

“I try to do at least 10,000 steps a day,” saidWalker, the Wisconsin governor.

He said he got the step-counting wristbandfor Christmas and competes with his familyand staff to see who moves the most in aday. He added, “The FitBit’s got meobsessed.”

Walker isn’t the only candidate trying toget exercise on the road. Florida Sen. MarcoRubio does an early morning workout inhotel gyms. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz also wearsa FitBit and likes to take phone calls whilewalking. Former Pennsylvania Sen. RickSantorum does at least 50 pushups a day andformer executive Carly Fiorina works out onthe elliptical most mornings, aides said.

Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who hadback surgery in 2011, said late last year thathe has a workout routine that focuses oncore strength. Asked about his back, he said:“It’s good. I quit running and I quit wearingcowboy boots ... I do a lot of pull-ups,pushups, planks, crunches, and I ride a sta-tionary bike.”

GILLETTE (AP) — Recentdecisions by state judgeshave revealed a legal loop-hole in Wyoming’s marijua-na law that lawmakers aretrying to close.

First District Court JudgeSteven Sharpe recently dis-missed the case of a manaccused of possessingenough edible marijuana inhis car to be charged with afelony because Sharpe saidthe existing law specifiesthat possessing only theplant form of marijuana

can be a felony.Sharpe’s July 29 decision

in Cheyenne was discussedThursday in Gillette at ameeting of the JointJudiciary Committee,which is studying how tochange the law to consideredible forms of the drug.

Another Laramie CountyDistrict Court judge,Catherine Rogers, testifiedbefore the committee thatshe must consider Sharpe’sdecision when cases arebrought into her court.

“I have concerns aboutthese cases based on therationale in my colleague’sdecision letter,” she said.“But every case is alwaysgoing to be weighed on thefacts, and the testimonythat is presented to thecourt in that case, and alsoin the way that is charged.”

The Casper Star-Tribuneobtained a copy of the let-ter Sharpe sent to attorneyson both sides of the case.

On April 13, the WyomingHighway Patrol stopped a

motorist for an alleged traf-fic violation. The troopersmelled alleged marijuanaand seized 1.9 pounds ofalleged edible marijuanacandies, cookies, bread andchocolate bars.

State law states that morethan 3 ounces of marijuanain plant form is a felony, thejudge wrote in a summaryof the case. Prosecutorsfiled a felony possession ofmarijuana charge, but thedefendant countered that hedid not possess more than 3

ounces of marijuana in aplant form.

Sharpe wrote that afterreading the law, he conclud-ed prosecutors can onlycharge someone with felonymarijuana possession whenthe accused possesses it inplant form and when theweight exceeds 3 ounces.

Laramie County DistrictAttorney JeremiahSandburg said he hasrefiled the case as a misde-meanor in circuit court.

State courts have decideddifferently on edibles, anduntil the state SupremeCourt rules or if the lawchanges, there will be vary-ing opinions, Sandburgsaid.

The Joint JudiciaryCommittee is discussing aproposal that would requirepolice and prosecutors toweigh the entire edible,including chocolate andbutter, and include thoseweights when determiningthe amount of marijuana inan edible.

Possession of 3 ounces ofan edible would bump acharge from a misdemeanorto a felony, with a sentenceof up to five years behindbars and a fine of up to$5,000, according to thedraft bill.

The committee plansadditional discussion onthe bill in November.

But John Jolley of theWyoming State CrimeLaboratory said it’s noteasy to determine in an edi-ble the amount of thetetrahydrocannabinol, orTHC, the psychoactive com-ponent of marijuana.

“Just the analysis anddetection of the presence ofTHC is a very intensiveprocess,” he said.

Jason Day shows major mettle and wins PGA Championship

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (AP) — Given athird straight chance to finally win amajor, Jason Day promised a fight to thefinish in the PGA Championship.

Turns out the biggest fight was to holdback the tears.

Worried that this year might turn outto be a major failure, Daynever gave Jordan Spieth oranyone else a chance Sunday.He delivered a record-settingperformance at WhistlingStraits that brought him amajor championship he start-ed to wonder might neverhappen.

Day was in tears before heeven tapped in for par and a 5-under 67for a three-shot victory. He sobbed on theshoulder of Colin Swatton, his caddieand longtime coach who rescued Day asa 12-year-old struggling to overcome thedeath of his father.

And then came high praise fromSpieth in the scoring trailer when golf ’s

new No. 1 player told him, “There’s noth-ing I could do.”

“I didn’t expect I was going to cry,”Day said. “A lot of emotion has come outbecause I’ve been so close so many timesand fallen short. To be able to play theway I did today, especially with Jordanin my group, I could tell that he was thefavorite. Just to be able to finish the wayI did was amazing.”

Three shots ahead with three holes toplay on a course with trouble every-where, Day blasted a drive down the fair-way on the par-5 16th and hit a towering4-iron into 20 feet. He bit his lower lip,swatted his caddie on the arm, knowinghis work was almost done.

The two-putt birdie put him at 20-under par, and two closing pars gave himthe record to par in majors, breaking byone shot the 19 under of Tiger Woods atSt. Andrews in the 2000 British Open.Day finished at 20-under 268, not know-ing until it was over that it was a record.

What really mattered was that shiny

Wanamaker Trophy at his side.He shared the 54-hole lead at the U.S.

Open and the British Open and had towatch someone else celebrate.

“Not being able to finish, it would havebeen tough for me mentally to reallykind of come back from that,” Day said.“Even though I feel like I’m a positiveperson, I think that in the back of mymind something would have triggeredand I would have gone, ‘Maybe I can’treally finish it off.’

“It felt like I was mentally and physi-cally grinding it out as hard as I could,”he said. “I wasn’t going to stop fightinguntil it over.”

Spieth gave it his best shot, but eventhe Masters and U.S. Open championcould tell what he was up against theway the 27-year-old Australian poweredone drive after another and didn’t letanyone closer than the two-shot leadwith which he started the final round.

Olympic champion Alptekin loses 1,500-meter title for doping

GENEVA (AP) — Olympic championAsli Cakir Alptekin has agreed to give upher 1,500-meter title and serve an 8-yearban for blood doping, dealing anotherblow to track and field.

A settlement by the Turkish runnerand the IAAF was announced by theCourt of Arbitration for Sport onMonday, days before the world champi-onships open in Beijing.

Alptekin forfeited all her results fromJuly 29, 2010, including the 2012 Olympicgold medal and her 2012 EuropeanChampionship title.

Now 29, Alptekin won gold at theLondon Games after lowering her person-al best time by almost nine secondsthroughout the season.

CAS said the IAAF charge thatAlptekin manipulated her blood betweenJuly 29, 2010, and Oct. 17, 2012, “is upheldby default” because of the runner’s con-sent.

Alptekin was investigated based onabnormal blood values in her biologicalpassport. The IAAF appealed to sport’shighest court after the Turkish AthleticsFederation cleared Alptekin in December2013. The agreement published by CASnotes that “she is unable to substantiatethe explanations she has offered for thosevalues, and therefore is unable to rebutthe IAAF’s assertion that those valuesare the result of some form of bloodmanipulation.”

The 8-year-ban is the maximum allowedby the IAAF for a second doping offenseof that type, the ruling said.

Alptekin previously served a two-yearban for a positive test for an anabolicsteroid at the 2004 world junior champi-onships. She has not raced competitivelysince being provisionally suspended byIAAF in January 2013.

The Olympic gold could now be award-ed to Alptekin’s teammate, Gamze Bulut,who finished second. The fourth-placerunner in the London race who would bein line for bronze is Tatyana Tomashova.She served a two-year ban imposed in2008 for her part in a Russian conspiracyto avoid doping detection.

Tomashova, a two-time 1,500-meterworld champion who also won silver atthe 2004 Athens Olympics, was amongseveral Russian women whose urine wasswapped for clean samples.

Alptekin also forfeits her appearancemoney and prize money earned sinceJuly 2010. That includes a $10,000 prizefrom the IAAF for taking bronze in the2012 world indoors in front of her homecrowd in Istanbul, the ruling said.

The Turkish federation could alsoreclaim prize money issued by Turkishauthorities for her medal-winning races.

During the case, Alptekin first arguedthat her blood readings were caused by“living and training at altitude, use ofaltitude-simulating techniques, and/ormedical issues,” the CAS ruling stated.

Expert independent witnesses said herexplanations were “unsubstantiatedand/or scientifically unsound ... (and) donot provide a credible non-doping expla-nation.”

RANKING: Runner-up moves Spieth past McIlroy, earns No. 1 ranking in the worldFROM B1

“He played like he’d won seven or eightmajors,” Spieth said. “He took it back. Hewailed it. It was a stripe show.”

Spieth has the greatest consolation possi-ble. With his runner-up finish, he replacedRory McIlroy at No. 1 in the world.

“This is as easy a loss as I’ve ever hadbecause I felt that I not only couldn’t domuch about it as the round went on, I alsoaccomplished one of my lifelong goals inthe sport of golf. That will never be takenaway from me now. I’ll always be a No. 1player in the world.”

Spieth set a record of his own. By closing

with a 68, he set a record by playing thefour majors in 54-under par, breaking byone the mark that Woods set in 2000. Thedifference is that Woods won two majors bya combined 23 shots.

That also speaks to the depth of golf inthis generation, and Day is the latest exam-ple.

He moved to No. 3 in the world, meaningthe top three in the world are all under 27and have combined to win five of the lastsix majors.

“As long as I am healthy, I feel like I’mgoing to be there a long time,” Day said. “Istill want to accomplish that No. 1 goal ofmine, which is to be the best player in the

world. I’m still motivated and still veryhungry for that, even after this win.”

Branden Grace of South Africa hadanother mistake on the back nine in amajor that cost him. Grace was tied for thelead at the U.S. Open when he hit his teeshot on the railroad tracks and out-of-bounds at Chambers Bay. This time, he wastwo shots behind when he went long of the10th green and made double bogey. Heclosed with a 69 and finished third, fiveshots behind.

Justin Rose got within two shots untilmaking a double bogey for the thirdstraight day. He closed with a 70 and fin-ished fourth.

Day faced enormous pressure of having alead for the first time going into the finalround, trying to avoid becoming the firstplayer since the PGA Championship wentto stroke play in 1958 to have at least ashare of the 54-hole lead in three straightmajors without winning.

It sure didn’t show, even if he felt it everystep of the way.

“I knew today was going to be tough, but Ididn’t realize how tough it was going to be,”Day said. “I learned a lot about myself,being able to finish the way I did. The expe-riences that I’ve had in the past with previ-ous major finishes has definitely helped meprepare myself for a moment like this.”

WITHOUT A GOUTBY MICHAEL ROIZEN,

M.D., AND MEHMET OZ,

M.D.When the cartoon charac-

ter Courage the CowardlyDog's owner Eustace Bagge istaken over by Big Toe, a men-acing microbe that talks likeEdward G. Robinson in"Little Caesar," you know thatswollen, purple digit is up tono good. (Trust us on thisone.)

The same could be said forthe ever-increasing menace ofswollen digits that often sig-nal a gout attack. Overallprevalence of gout in NorthAmerican has jumped two- tofour-fold in the past 40 years.Around 8.3 million folks havethe condition, and as morepeople are diagnosed withmetabolic syndrome (three ormore of these five conditions:high triglycerides, a largewaist size, low healthy HDLcholesterol, high blood sugarand high blood pressure) thenumber of cases will sky-rocket. One study showedthat 63 percent of folks with

gout also had metabolic syn-drome; while only around 25percent of folks without gouthad it.

Although it's a form ofarthritis, gout is also associ-ated with an increased risk ofhypertension and cardiovas-cular disease. Eating high-purine foods such as redmeats and shellfish, beingoverweight and drinking toomuch can contribute to devel-oping gout and triggeringattacks.

You can help prevent goutby keeping blood pressureand blood lipid levels incheck; avoiding most saturat-ed and all trans fats,processed carbs, added sug-ars and syrups; walking10,000 steps a day (1 minute ofaerobic activity equals 100steps); and de-stressing with10 minutes of mindful medi-tation daily. Toe the line, andBig Toe will be nowherearound!

WOMAN HELD IN HIGHESTEEM FEARS EXPOSINGIMPERFECTIONS

DEAR ABBY: I met anamazing man and have beendating him for about threemonths. It was almost love atfirst sight. I say "almost"because I was hesitant to getinvolved since I am his boss.

My problem is, for

six years I was in an emotion-ally and physically abusiverelationship. My ex threw methrough a wall, leaving mewith broken ribs and lacera-tions on my face. I was con-stantly called "fat" -- especial-ly when I was pregnant.

Now that I'm with this newguy, I feel awkward. He tellsme how pretty I am, and Idon't know how to respond. Itmakes me uncomfortablewhen he says it, and I haveno idea why. I have fallen sohard for him, but feel like Ihurt his feelings when I don'trespond. It's not that I thinkI'm ugly or anything; I justfeel like I am not as pretty ashe constantly says I am.

How can I overcome this soit doesn't become a problemin the future? I'm scared todeath that one day he willwake up and realize that I'mnot as perfect as he thinks I

am. -- NOT PERFECT INALABAMA

DEAR NOT PERFECT: Idon't know whether your self-esteem problem is long-stand-ing and deep-seated, or if itstems from the abusive rela-tionship you had with yourex. But a way to conquer itwould be to discuss your feel-ings with a licensed mentalhealth professional.

On a related subject, it iscommon knowledge thatworkplace romances -- whilenot uncommon -- can turninto disasters if they don'twork out. They sometimesfail because of the imbalanceof power in the relationshipif one person has economiccontrol of the other. Whileyou're talking to your thera-pist, this is something thatshould also be discussed.

DEAR ABBY: Social media -- specifically Facebook -- hashad an impact on families,their values and relation-ships. It is important tounderstand that, contrary topopular belief, parents andgrandparents DO NOT LIVEFOREVER. Being "too busy"for face-to-face visits, writinga postcard or a letter, or evena simple telephone call, isnot how we were brought up.

To my children and grand-children, whom I dearly love:I'm sure you'll take the timeto order flowers for my funer-al. You may even take the dayoff to attend, and when youdo, you will most likely shedsome tears. So why can't youfind the time, while I'm stillHERE, to visit or call? I'dlove to see you, and I'm nevertoo busy to make the time. --HURT IN PELLA, IOWA

DEAR HURT: I'm printingyour letter because I'm surethis is a problem shared bymany aging parents andgrandparents. However, thisis a question you shoulddirect to your children andgrandchildren, not me. If youdo, you may learn there maybe multiple reasons why theydon't pay more attention toyou -- among them, the pres-sures of work, school, childcare, or the fact that they aredisorganized and don't budg-et their time well.

There is also the questionof whether you are an enjoy-able person to be around. Doyou show an interest in whatthey are doing, or make themfeel guilty for not doing moreto entertain you? That's asurefire way to keep themaway.

Omarr’s Daily Astrological Forecast Jeraldine Saunders

BIRTHDAY GAL: ActressMadeleine Stowe was bornin Los Angeles, Calif., todayin 1958. This birthday galstarred as Victoria Graysonon "Revenge" from 2011-2015. Her TV work datesback to 1978, when shemade her debut on anepisode of "Baretta." Stowe'sextensive movie resume in-cludes roles in "Last of theMohicans," "We Were Sol-diers" and "Twelve Mon-keys."

ARIES (March 21-April19): Play the field. Sinceyou're especially attractivethese days, your participa-tion in a social event mightattract a horde of new ad-mirers. Remain footlooseand fancy-free, as a love in-terest could be here todayand gone tomorrow.

TAURUS (April 20-May

20): Your confidence level ishigher when you feel allur-ing and attractive. Put yourfaith in reliable businesspractices and maintain highstandards. This is a goodtime to finalize an impor-tant agreement or contract.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):Read the small print thor-oughly. A bill might showup in the mail and requireattention, but under thesestars you could miss a cru-cial detail. Put extra effortinto networking and mak-ing worthwhile new connec-tions.

CANCER (June 21-July22): Press the pedal to themetal and zoom to the headof the pack. Your industri-ousness and creative flaircould make a favorable im-pression on others over thenext few days. Focus on

your circle of friends.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):

Live as though your lifewere poetry, even if youaren't a poet. Your dailyroutines may be disruptedfor pleasurable reasons. So-cial activities might be inthe spotlight, or unexpectedvisitors might brightenyour day.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):The most valuable relation-ships in your life requireyour attention. You canmake money or build affec-tion that will endure if youaren't sidetracked by a pass-ing whim. Don't let misun-derstandings spoil theharmony in your life.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):One kiss from the right per-son is all it takes. You mayshift from a frog who's com-fortably secure on his/her

own lily pad to a prince orprincess who needs a muchbigger pond. Make key im-provements in your sur-roundings.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.21): The eye of the beholderis where beauty lies. Burnthe midnight oil to meet ob-ligations, but know some-one's waiting in the wingswith eyes only for you. Thismay be a good time to buysomething tasteful.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The only way torise from novice status is togain experience. If you'refeeling somewhat inade-quate today, find ways toimprove your confidence.Use your knowledge and fi-nancial expertise.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.19): Get off to a runningstart. Your closest friends

or significant other may seta frantic pace. Try to keepup with the flow of inspir-ing ideas and creative activ-ity. Your business expertiseis at a high point.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18): Ignore a passing fancy.It's better to want some-thing you don't have than tohave something you don'twant. You could make anerror with your checkbooktoday, so avoid making ir-revocable financial deci-sions.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March20): Show your most attrac-tive side. You may have no-ticed that when birds arefocused on the matingdance they show off theirbrightest plumage andchase each other around.Add some similar spice toyour life.

IF AUGUST 18 IS YOURBIRTHDAY: Good businesssense and competivenessmake you a sharp cookie inthe office over the next 4-6weeks. Your positive atti-tude helps you make moneyand shrewd business deci-sions in November. In Janu-ary or February, you mayfall under the spell of anidea or a person and thinkit's the real deal. Don't wrapyour life around this ro-mantic notion, as some-thing better may comealong in May or June. Youmay be wildly popular dur-ing those two months, so it'sa good time to apply for anew job, propose to that spe-cial someone, or seek well-deserved attention andacclaim.

WHAT HAP-PENS WITH ASLIGHT VARIA-TION?

Charles Dar-win said, "I havecalled this prin-

ciple, by which each slightvariation, if useful, is pre-served, by the term of Natu-ral Selection."

Last week, we looked atNew Minor Forcing. Afterone of a minor - one of amajor - one no-trump, two ofthe unbid minor by respon-der is artificial, promises atleast game-invitational val-ues, and asks opener formore information. But read-ers asked two questions.First, what happens afterone club - one diamond - oneno-trump?

For many pairs, opener'srebid denies a four-cardmajor. However, even ifopener may ignore a four-card major (especially with4-3-3-3 distribution), mostpairs treat responder's re-bids as natural. If he contin-ues with two of a major, it isa reverse and forcing togame. But if you like, youcould treat a two-club rebidas NMF. (If you do, then a

three-club jump-rebid is aweak signoff.)

In this auction, North-South reached the onlygame that could be made.Over North's three dia-monds, Southhad an awk-ward call. Hemight havetried fourclubs, but thatprobably wouldhave led to fivediamonds,where Southwould have losttwo spades andone club.

Four heartsneeded prudentplay after Weststarted withthree rounds ofspades. Southcarefully dis-carded his clubloser. East'sbest defensewas a clubshift. Declarerwon with hisace, drew tworounds oftrumps, cashedtwo top dia-monds, and

drew the rest of the trumps,discarding dummy's last di-amond. Then South took thelast three tricks with hishigh diamonds.

Inner CapBrings OutFrustration

Dear Read-ers: Here isthis week'sSOUND OFF,about innersafety caps on

packaging:"I am sure I am not the

only one who gets frus-trated trying to remove theinner cap on a sauce orother food-product bottle.The manufacturers leaveonly an infinitesimal-sizetab to pull off the cap, whichis impossible to do. Theonly way to remove it is tostick a knife through it. Themakers will claim it is forsafety so people don'ttamper with the product inthe store. Surely they couldcome up with a better alter-native." -- Joseph B., LakeWorth, Fla.

Joseph, thank you, thankyou, thank you! I was justgoing to write about this! Iused a table knife (meaningnot sharp) and almost im-paled my hand trying getthat tiny little sucker un-stuck!

The "pull up here" tab onthe side is microsize. I'm notgoing to break a fingernail,and show me how anyonecan rip that off with barehands (no tools or teeth),

and I'll award a Heloise cer-tificate of appreciation. --Heloise
