NWCCD receives
$1.5 million federal grant
SHERIDAN — The Northern Wyoming Community College District received a substan-tial grant that will help alleviate the pain from the economic bust.
The United States Department of Labor awarded a grant of $4,998,585 to the Wyoming/Montana Partnership led by the NWCCD.
The Educating Toward Economic Diversity Partnership in Wyoming and Montana is one of only seven awards to multi-state regional workforce part-nerships. Half of the grant award will provide tuition assistance for adults 18 and older with financial barri-ers.
The partnership includes Casper College, Laramie County Community College and Montana State University – City College, as well as Sheridan College and Gillette College. The partnership is one of only seven community colleges in the nation to earn the grant.
NWCCD’s share of the grant is $1.5 million, with over $600,000 set aside to pay tuition and fees for participating students enrolled.

Heavy snowfall causes adverse travel conditionsSHERIDAN COUNTY – Sheridan County
Sheriff’s Department, along with Sheridan Police and Wyoming Highway Patrol, tend-ed to accidents and “numerous slide offs” Thursday due to consistent snowfall. City of Sheridan Operations Superintendent Mathers Heuck estimated about 14 inches had accu-
mulated throughout Wednesday night and Thursday.
The National Weather Service out of Billings reported a standout 17.5 inches of snowfall west of Story as of Friday morning. Full reports of total snowfall in Sheridan County are posted on the National Weather Service’s website, including an updated map displaying the snowfall throughout the county. As of 2 p.m. Thursday, Sheridan had accumulated 10.3
inches of snow. Big Horn reported 10 inches accumulated by
7 a.m. Friday morning, along with six inches in Ranchester and 9.5 inches in Dayton.
The mass accumulations of snow for Sheridan County translated into a busy day for law enforcement. Two accidents and numer-ous slide offs were tended to by the sheriff’s

Despite budget cuts,
UW pay raises still being
consideredLARAMIE (AP) — Even as
the University of Wyoming grapples with more than $40 million in budget cuts, President Laurie Nichols said she still holds out hope of offering pay raises to faculty and staff next year.
“I cannot tell you that I have successfully achieved this yet until we get deeper into this budget,” Nichols told the UW Board of Trustees on Thursday. “But certainly I’m working toward that. I haven’t given up trying to get that accomplished as well.”
Vail Advisor speaks to ABF donors about value of small ski lodges
SHERIDAN — Past President of Vail Resorts Blaise T. Carrig said skiing saved his life. He worked his way up from a ski bum and is now the Senior Advisor of the Mountain Division for Vail.
Now, with a lifelong love for the sport, a career in the ski industry that has taken off and a deep appreciation for hometown ski resorts, Carrig has taken a personal interest in the Antelope Butte Mountain Recreation Area project and spoke at a private donor event for the foundation Thursday night.
“It goes back to my own roots,” Carrig said about why he decided to donate to the foundation, adding, “A really small community resort was really essential in my life development in a way that goes beyond words for me.”
Executive Director and Ski-EO of Antelope Butte Mountain Recreation Area Andrew J. Gast said after years of the ski lodge being closed, it was purchased last April. They are starting phase one of repairs, which is repairing water damage, replacing the front of the building and rais-ing more capital to continue restoration.
He said if everything goes as planned, the lodge will open in Sept. 2017, and the lifts will be operational in December of the same year.
Carrig is the immediate past president of the National Ski Area Association, and Gast said he has been instrumental in the Antelope Butte project in more ways than one. Not only has Carrig donated personal funds to the project and spoken for free at the donor event, he has helped Antelope Butte executives network with other indus-try professionals and acted as a type of mentor and guide for the project.
Though Carrig said Vail can’t donate financially to Antelope Butte, the compa-ny is looking for other areas it can help, including donating equipment that Vail rotates out at a quicker rate than Antelope Butte would.

ABF: Connection to the community, skiingFROM 1
Carrig said his talk consisted of three parts. The first aspect was his personal connection to skiing. Though he wouldn’t be specific, he said he had a rebellious youth, looking for risky and sometimes illegal adventure. He has no regrets about decisions or friends from over the years, and he said when a friend taught him to ski when he was a teenager, it put him on a path that led him out of his hedonistic behaviors. He even met his wife through skiing.
The second part of his talk focused on international recognition of skiing that comes through Olympic skiers. Carrig said athletes learn the sport at small resorts.
“They’re from the Antelope Buttes of the world,” said Carrig. “They’re not from the Aspens of the world, and so that’s an incredibly important power of what the small ski resorts do for the big resorts.”
The third focus of his talk was the larger perspective of the ski business and how guests and employees at large resorts all originate from smaller ones. When skiers go to Vail or Breckenridge, it’s on a vaca-
tion that they take as rarely as once a year or once a lifetime, but these skiers frequent small hometown lodges like Antelope Butte. Employee wise, it’s difficult to find people with the specialized skills required for tasks at the resorts. When large resorts hire, the employees once again come from small resorts, making the operation of lodges like Antelope Butte important on a larger scale.
To Sheridan, Gast said, Antelope Butte is particularly necessary because there’s no place like it in the area, which drives residents and lodgers away. Sheridan is already a tourist destination, and this adds to that appeal and industry. On a deeper level, he said, skiing enhances the Western and active lifestyles and helps to instill a sense of outdoor, community and familial values.
Carrig couldn’t agree more, noting that Antelope Butte has proper focus and under-standing of the needs of this community and how it’s affixed to quality of life.
“They’re really about the community and, you know, that experience,” Carrig said. “So I think that’s key, and I think these guys have it right.”
SNOWFALL : Reports of hazardous conditions, damageFROM 1
A small accident on Brundage Lane resulted in two vehi-cles getting towed from the scene. No injuries were report-ed, and one driver was cited for going too fast, Lt. Allen Thompson said.
Another accident on Highway 332 was reported by the sheriff’s department but was tended to by highway patrol.
Sheridan Police responded to seven non-injury accidents occurring between 7:20 a.m. and 12:19 p.m. within city lim-its, Lt. Tom Ringley said. Four of those accidents resulted in citations for driving at a speed greater than reasonable. Four additional hazardous conditions and two careless drivers added to Sheridan Police’s reports on the wintery day.
The sheriff’s department always remains equipped to handle the first storm of the season. Lt. Thompson’s advice for those traveling in the weather was to slow down.
“The one most important thing that people can do is leave earlier and expect a longer trip,” Lt. Thompson said.
Slower speeds prevent accidents from happening, keep-ing everyone on the road safe during continued winter weather conditions.
Wyoming Highway Patrol’s Major Perry Jones out of Cheyenne emphasized the danger of fall storms.
He said fall storms cause real significant issues because the ground is still warm, causing the snow to melt and ice over relatively quickly. The Cheyenne area sees a lot of minor injury and property damage accidents due to citizens being taken by surprise with the first snowfall of the season. Similarly, Sheridan Police reported hazardous conditions and small property damages due to the weath-er.
At 2 p.m. Thursday, the City of Sheridan declared the first snow alert of the season. City crews conducted curb-to-curb snow removal on designated roadways from mid-night to 7 a.m. to help with Friday morning commutes.
“We encourage everyone to join our snow text club by sending the word “SNOW” to 28748 so that they can be notified of any future alerts,” Heuck wrote.
Dayton Town Council discusses Community Plan, street lighting
DAYTON — Dayton Town Council members discussed the rough draft of the Dayton Community Plan at their meeting Wednesday.
Councilor Joey Sheeley suggested some minor for-matting corrections in order to maintain consistency in the document, while Councilor Laurie Walters-Clark requested assistance from Councilor Craig Reichert and Councilor Eric Lofgren with corrections in the fire and rescue section of the plan. She said that there needed to be clarification of procedure regarding retirement and bene-fits.
According to Reichert, the state of Wyoming requires all members of the fire department, including training and administrative positions, to attend 50 percent of meetings held by the department in order to receive retirement ben-efits.
Reichert also said that the town has an agreement that the fire chief, the officers and two other members must have a meeting once a year to review all membership
and vet those members for qualification to receive water, sewer and garbage waiver benefits. The meeting will be required as part of the fire department by-laws by January.
The council approved the Community Development Plan with the changes made by council, deeming it a final draft. It will be posted on the Town of Dayton website for the public to review before an informational public meeting, which the council scheduled for Nov. 30 at 7 p.m. at the Dayton Town Hall. After the public meeting, the council will adopt the plan officially at the town council meeting on Dec. 6.
In other business: • According to Superintendent of Streets and
Maintenance Billy Miller, the Capital Facilities Tax Grant was approved by the state for the street lighting project.
The grant stipulates that the town has to have a con-sultant services policy for hiring any consultants, such as engineers, for the project. In addition, the town must appoint a committee to select a consultant with at least three members and no more than five members.
According to town clerk Linda Lofgren, the town has not received the award letter as of yet, so the council cannot proceed with budgeting for the project. The grant requires the town to appoint a committee and send the policy to the Wyoming Department of Transportation right away.
The council appointed Miller as chairperson for the committee and selected the four council members, regard-less of who occupies each seat, to make up the committee.
• The council approved the second reading of Ordinance 400, which establishes license fees for 24-hour beer per-mits and catering permits and provides for fees to be raised by resolution.
According to town clerk Lofgren, the original ordinance
does not allow the town to raise or lower these permits with a resolution. It has to be done with an ordinance and three readings. The original ordinance states that you have to pay $25. It doesn’t say that you can add it or decrease it by resolution. With new wording, the ordi-nance will allow fees to be increased or decreased by reso-lution.
• Mayor Norm Anderson said that he celebrated National GIS Day by attending a seminar at the Sheridan Chamber of Commerce Wednesday. He said it was very interesting and that he learned a lot.
• Junior Councilor Heidi Henderson from Tongue River High School reported that ten student council mem-bers attended workshops and lectures at the Wyoming Association of Student Council in Cheyenne.
Henderson also reported that the blood drive that the student council hosted had 25 people donate, 18 of which were Tongue River High School seniors.
In addition, Henderson reported that TRHS had a Veterans Day Assembly Tuesday, complete with veteran speakers Chris Ferguson of the Marine Corps and Eric Stone King of the Air Force. Dana Bowman parachuted into the assembly and was the keynote speaker. The band played, the choir sang, and all the Veterans in attendance were thanked, Henderson said.
• Superintendent of Water and Sewer Jimmy Velos reported that the maintenance crew and Hawkins Chemical, Inc. will be cleaning the filters and adding new media to the water system the second week in December. During that time, for approximately a week and a half, the town will be running strictly on the well.
• The council appointed Walters-Clark to be an alternate delegate to the Wyoming Association of Municipalities Convention, which will be held in Cheyenne Jan. 11-13.

Holy Name student wins Peace Poster contestSHERIDAN — The annual
Lions International Peace Poster contest sponsored by the Sheridan Sundowners Lions Club was won by Layne Sweeney, a sixth-grade student at Holy Name Catholic School.
Sweeney’s poster was chosen among more than 450,000 entries submitted worldwide. The contest was to emphasize the impor-tance of world peace to young people everywhere.
“When I think of peace, I think of the following sym-bols: a dove, a peace sign and the American flag,”
Sweeney said. “The peace sign is a worldwide symbol of peace and serenity. The American flag represents a strong nation with the abili-ty to encourage and enforce peace throughout the world. Finally, the dove was used as a biblical symbol of peace for Noah at the end of the flood.”
The poster was selected by Lions Ariel Downing and Greg Marshall for its originality, artistic merit and portrayal of the contest theme, “A Celebration of Peace.”
“The Students at Holy Name Catholic School truly put a lot of thought into
their posters,” Sheridan Sundowners Lions Club President Leslea Rapp said. “They clearly demonstrated many ways to ‘Celebrate Peace’. Our Lions Club is proud to provide them the opportunity to share their visions.”
One international grand prize winner and 23 merit award winners will be selected. The grand prize includes a cash award of $5,000, plus a trip for the winner and two family members to a special award ceremony. The 23 merit award winners will each receive a certificate and a cash award of $500.
Sweeney and ten other students were honored for their participation by the Sheridan Sundowners Lions Club on Nov. 11 at Holy Name Catholic Church. The other ten students are sixth graders Henri Schaefer, Zach Luedtke, Danny Magera, Patrick Aasby, Aiden Roth, Jake Woodrow, Cyler Rundell, Zia Brown, Dakota Brown and seventh grader Gavin Sweeney.

USDA applications available for conservation stewardship program
SHERIDAN — The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service will accept and pro-cess applications for enrollment in the Conservation Stewardship Program, the nation’s largest conservation program.
NRCS has made several updates to the program to help producers better evaluate their conservation options and the benefits to their operations and natural resources.
New methods and software for evaluat-ing applications will help producers see up front why they are or are not meeting stewardship thresholds and allow them to pick practices and enhancements that work for their conservation objectives. The new tools will allow producers to see potential payment scenarios for conservation early in the process.
“This year, the Conservation Stewardship Program provides even more opportunities for conservation and greater flexibility at the local level to prioritize resource con-cerns and conservation approaches,” Astrid Martinez said. “Customized CSP tools for Wyoming will improve the customer expe-rience during application evaluations.”
Applications are available in local service centers. NRCS offices began processing applications for the program on Nov. 14 with sign-up running through February 3, 2017.

Man pleads guilty to giving wife pills that killed herLARAMIE (AP) — A Laramie man
accused of providing hydrocodone to his wife before she died has pleaded guilty.
The Laramie Boomerang reports that 36-year-old Paul Harper pleaded guilty on Thursday to a single count of felony deliv-ery of a controlled substance, which carries a maximum punishment of 20 years in pris-on.
According to court documents, Harper’s
wife Kaylee Harper died on July 8 due to respiratory depression created by a com-bination of ethanol and hydrocodone. The death was ruled accidental.
Police say Paul Harper gave his wife some of his prescribed hydrocodone tablets for back pain.
In court Thursday, Paul Harper said he no longer used hydrocodone for pain and instead takes Tylenol.
NWCCD GRANT : Board of Trustees approves soccer program expansionFROM 1
The partnership’s project will serve students who are preparing for occupations in advanced man-ufacturing, educational services, financial services, healthcare and information technology, industries that pay fees to bring foreign work-ers into the U.S. under the H-1B temporary visa program.
According to the U. S. Department of Labor, these grants
are intended to raise the technical skill levels of workers and help businesses reduce their reliance on temporary visa programs.
“This is an excellent win for our partnership, and it shows how essential a credential is in today’s labor market,” said Dr. Paul Young, president of NWCCD. “I am proud of the team who put together the regional coalition of community colleges, workforce service centers and employers.”
“Over the next four years, the ETED Partnership will provide per-sonalized advising and tuition for more than 800 students who might not be able to attend or succeed in college without this additional help,” Dr. Susan Bigelow, Vice President for External Relations and Economic Development, said in a press release. “We are thrilled that our partnership — the sole recipient of this award in the region — can use these funds to help those
students who need it most.”In other news: • NWCCD board of trustees said
yes to the expansion of the Gillette College soccer program. The board discussed the proposal extensively at the October meeting with propo-nents saying that the teams would essentially pay for themselves, as they would add around 50 stu-dents from across the region to the school’s enrollment. The teams are set to take the field by fall 2017.

Gov. Mead approves new
K-12 science standards
CASPER (AP) — Gov. Matt Mead has approved new K-12 science standards, two years after a heated battle over the benchmarks.
The Casper Star-Tribune reports the Wyoming Board of Education approved and sent the standards to Mead on Sept. 23, and the gov-
ernor approved them this week.
The standards have about 50 percent of the bench-marks that were considered by the board two and half years ago. That model said climate change is man-made, an assertion blasted by some state lawmakers.
Fossil fuels extraction is the state’s main industry.
State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jillian Balow says that with the new standards, students should use the scientific method to investigate for themselves the causes and effects of climate change.

Treide’s company
leads fastest growing list
Number one fastest growing company in Wyoming?
It’s right down the street.Bighorn Design Studio is atop
the list that was published in this week’s Wyoming Business Report. Two other Sheridan companies, Kennon Products, Inc., a company that manufac-tures high-tech protection for aviation, healthcare and energy industries, came in at number nine; Black Tooth Brewing came in tenth. Greatest revenue growth is the criteria. Bighorn Design, in busi-ness less than three years, has seen its revenues swell by 7,410 percent, accord-ing to the WBJ. Its owner, PJ Treide, said Thursday morning his company, expecting and welcoming growth, could do more than $1.2 million in sales next
year.Treide, 40, is a famil-
iar face around town. For a time, he was a fund-raising executive for VOA and before that, a financial con-sultant. These days, he has the countenance of a young, spirited (read: hungry) retail entrepreneur. Looking for new markets. Sensing the need to reinforce customer
service. He also looks like he has a lot of fun with his businesses.
••••••On the surface, his business appears
to be a Main Street tee-shirt shop. It is that, yet it is much more and much deeper. He’s trademarked the “Surf Wyoming” brand, which is no small thing. It is increasingly well-known, a nod to the “cool” factor of seeing the logo pop up in exotic locales. Treide says one customer spotted Surf Wyoming during an African safari; another noted the logo being worn in an Australian surf shop. (Susan and I saw a Surf Wyoming shirt in downtown Kansas City in May.) Lately, the brand “Wyoming Is Folk,” too, is catching on and is part of the greater Surf Wyoming trademark. In July, he opened a sec-ond retail store in downtown Powell. It replaced, in some ways, the popular, community-owned Powell Mercantile. Treide is using a successful model from Sheridan: retail up front, production in the back, a local presence with the hir-ing of the longtime merc store manager to run things. Next year, Treide plans to open a Gillette store, even in a lousy economy there. “When things are down, you have opportunity. Gillette has always been resilient,” he said know-ingly, since he was born and raised in Gillette, a 1994 graduate of its high school. He and Ellen Treide have three daughters.
What’s not known is that Bighorn Design provides “internet order fulfill-ment” to other clothing companies, Go Rope Clothing and Go Fast, Don’t Die. Their e-commerce business is develop-ing as it boxed, ships and “fulfills” web orders of others. So three micro-busi-nesses – production, e-commerce, retail -- with a downtown Sheridan footprint. He’s looking to expand and combine all three under one roof, and with it, max-imize efficiencies and product growth. Graphic and website design services are also part of the mix, as well as signs, banners and screen-printing. “With other downtown businesses, there’s a little garment district here,” he said. And with business growth, he’s offer-ing to his employees an opportunity to invest in Bighorn’s future with the offering of stock. He employs 17 people, and during Christmas and summer tourism seasons, he adds more staff. Like his father, Paul Treide. The elder Treide and I have known one another since the mid-1970s as we were ascen-dant advertising managers in Sage Publishing, a group of publisher-owned newspapers throughout Wyoming. He eventually became the publisher of the News Record. When I popped into the store Wednesday, he was the friendly face in greeting, folding shirts for count-er sales.
•••••• What’s noteworthy, too, about the
WBJ’s list is that all top ten companies have less than 40 employees. Not one of them are alike in the products they manufacture. Diverse. Growth-driven. Three of them right here, this year, in Sheridan. Led by a brand name that’s rich in irony, humor and style.
OPINION
PUBLISHER’S NOTEBOOK|Stephen Woody
Democrats suddenly find themselves at a crossroads
While the challenges of the GOP — its long-term demographic difficulties, its erratic leadership, the bitter struggle for its ideological soul —
are obscured by victory, the problems of the Democratic Party are on full display. Republicans suffer from heart disease;
Democrats have an ugly, gushing head wound.
The losing party would be foolish to minimize the scale of its political failure. Hillary Clinton proved incapable of defeating a reality television host whom more than 60 percent of Americans viewed as unfit to be president. It is perhaps the most humili-ating moment in the long history of Mr. Jefferson’s party. But the effect is
more than reputational. The Democratic candidate and her team could not protect America from a serious risk to its ideals and institutions by an untested and unsta-ble novice who flirted with authoritarian-ism and made enough gaffes on an average Tuesday to sink a normal presidential campaign.
Donald Trump was riding a modest elec-toral wave in certain parts of the country, but it was not large enough to overwhelm a reasonably capable Democratic candidate with a decent political strategy. Trump’s vote did not burst the levees; it barely lapped over the top of them in the industri-al Midwest. The “blue wall” was too low by just a foot or two.
But why was the election even close enough for bad strategy in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, or utter incompetence by the FBI director, to matter? Trump obviously benefited from
extreme polarization. The proposition “anyone but Hillary” was tested, with Republicans (and others) ultimately ral-lying to “anyone.” The Obama coalition — including young, minority and col-lege-educated voters — did not turn out in sufficient numbers. And an appeal to racial and ethnic resentment remains disturbing-ly potent in our politics — the continuing evidence of America’s original sin.
But here is the largest, long-term Democratic challenge: It has become a pro-vincial party. It is highly concentrated in urban areas and clings to the coasts. But our constitutional system puts emphasis on holding geography, particularly in the House of Representatives and the Electoral College. It is difficult for Democrats to pre-vail from isolated islands of deep blue. In 2012, President Obama won the presidency with fewer than 700 counties out of more than 3,000 in America — a historical low. Clinton carried a little under 500 — about 15 percent of the total.
This is another way of saying that the Democratic candidate for president can’t prevail — at least at the moment — when she receives less than 30 percent of the vote from the white, non-college educated Americans who live in the spaces between the cities. Most of these voters were not examining public policy and calculating their interests — except in the vague sense that they don’t like sending American jobs abroad and don’t want anyone mess-ing with their Social Security. They were convinced that Trump has their back. Democrats have become symbolically estranged from white, working-class America.
What are the Democratic options moving forward? First, there is the Bernie Sanders option — the embrace of a leftist populism that amounts to democratic socialism. This might also be called the Jeremy Corbyn
option, after the leftist leader of the British Labour Party who has ideologically puri-fied his party into political irrelevance. Second, there is the Joe Biden option — a liberalism that makes a sustained outreach to union members and other blue-collar workers while showing a Catholic reli-gious sensibility on issues of social jus-tice. Third, there is the option of doubling down on the proven Barack Obama option, which requires a candidate who can excite rather than sedate the Obama-era base.
Democrats should not overlearn the lessons of a close election. Option No. 3 is the Democratic future on the presidential level. Clinton was correct to appeal to a slightly modified version of the Obama coalition (fewer African-American and millennial voters, but more support from Latinos and college-educated women). She simply could not pull it off. But for the foreseeable future, Democrats will also need a dash of No. 2, including a more accommodating attitude toward religion and associational rights. In this election, evangelicals and white Catholics sensed real hostility to their institutions from law school liberalism.
There is a serious prospect, however, that Democrats will choose No. 1. There would be many reverberations for our pol-itics. But chiefly, America would cease to have a center-left party and a center-right party. Both radicalized institutions would exaggerate our national differences, becoming the political equivalent of the hard-left and hard-right media. And the cause of national unity would be damaged even further.

Country should vote like Wyoming
Re: Trump wins state
It is interesting to note that the election of America’s first black president, who insisted that “we are not a white America, a black America, or a red America, we are all Americans, etc.”, did not result in a more United States, but divided it worse than anything else since the Civil War.
Thank God for the Electoral College vot-ing method that prevented an extension of the past administration from taking this country further from the purpose our Constitution than it already has.
I am convinced that Wyoming residents, for the most part, are on average, more informed and have a better grasp of reality and the desire to perpetuate the American
dream than much of the coastal bastions of Socialist thought.
Before the election, I posited a bet that Sheridan County would vote split of 15 per-cent for Clinton, 85 percent for Trump. The reality turned out to be: 20.6 percent and 72.4 percent; close.
I also figured a 50-50 split for Teton County. Wrong! It was 60.1 percent for Clinton versus 32.2 percent for trump. A discussion of why Jackson is so liberal would take a whole other column.
For Albany County, I guessed 35 percent for Clinton, 65 for Trump. Reality -- 41.9 percent for Clinton, 46.3 in Trump’s favor. Then I remembered things like the Bill Ayers Invite by the Equality State Policy Center, and the osmosis effect of Colorado.
• Campbell County: Clinton, 7.4 percent; Trump, 88.
• Park County: Clinton, 17.3 percent;
Trump, 76.• Crook County: Clinton, 7.2 percent;
Trump, 88.8.• Laramie County: Clinton, 29 percent;
Trump, 62.2.• Natrona County: Clinton, 20.2 percent.• Johnson County: Clinton, 14.7 percent;
Trump, 79.9.• Fremont County: Clinton, 25.4 percent;
Trump, 67.5. No surprise about Fremont since the Reservation’s there, being behold-en to government largesse, would support a Democrat. Park and Teton Counties with a larger portion of federal employees than most other counties would also lean Left.
Too bad the rest of the country can’t fol-low Wyoming’s lead. (Jackson should be annexed to California).

Youth pheasant hunt to be held Saturday and Nov. 26, 27
SHERIDAN — A youth pheasant hunt will take place on Saturday at 8 a.m. and begin hunt-ing at 8:30 a.m. for the morning hunt or arrive
at 12 p.m. and start hunting at 12:30 p.m. for the afternoon hunt at the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission’s Bud Love Wildlife Habitat Management Area (WHMA) and November 26 and 27 at the Fort Phil Kearny Historic Site.
Youth hunters will have special opportunities this fall to pursue pheasants in the Buffalo and Story areas.
“This is the first year Game and Fish is hav-ing a youth only pheasant hunt on the Bud Love WHMA,” Lynn Jahnke, the wildlife manage-ment coordinator for the Sheridan region of the Wyoming Game and Fish Department said. “Game and Fish has youth only pheasant hunts in several other places in Wyoming. They are popu-lar and an excellent way to introduce young peo-ple to hunting. We decided to have a hunt on one of the WHMA’s in the Sheridan region.”
Only youth hunters, those under the age of 18, will be allowed to hunt pheasants. The cost to par-ticipate is $12.50 for a pheasant special manage-ment stamp to hunt and be properly licensed.
Hunters under the age of 14 must be accompa-nied by an adult, but the adult is not allowed to take pheasants on the youth hunting days. Youth hunters who participate in these hunts will either need to have successfully completed a Hunter Safety Course or must be enrolled in the Hunter Mentor Program.
Participants on the Bud Love WHMA are required to wear one piece of fluorescent orange clothing while hunting. There will be no limit on the number of youth hunters allowed at the Bud Love WHMA and they will be allowed to come and go throughout the day.
Hunters entering the Fort Phil Kearny Historic Site are required to have either an annual State Park Permit or pay $2 for a daily use permit.
Hunters using the Historic Site will be required to sign up during business hours to obtain a per-mission slip prior to hunting.
There will be six permission slips available to hunt in the morning and six in the afternoon of each hunting day
For more information, call the site at 684-7629 to reserve a permission slip.

UW : Reduction in faculty numbers should bring savingsFROM 1
Nichols said there will be no pay raise this year.The state’s only public, four-year university faces steep
budget cuts mainly because of a drop in state funding brought on by a downturn in Wyoming’s energy economy. To account for the cuts, the university is looking at elimi-nating degree programs, cutting faculty and staff positions and increasing student fees.
The university has already identified $19 million in cuts in the current 2017 fiscal year, mostly by eliminating about 100 vacant positions and offering early-retirement incen-tives.
The university needs to make an additional $10 million
in permanent reductions in fiscal year 2018.Nichols said the university cannot meet its budget reduc-
tion goals without cutting personnel.Since most of the employees who accepted an early
retirement incentive this year were staff members, only faculty members will be eligible for the new early retire-ment program, she said.
Nichols said she hopes the reduction in faculty numbers will save $4 million, of which $2 million will be reinvested into recruiting new faculty in areas that need them.
Besides the budget cuts, the university also is looking to increase revenue through higher student academic fees, increased enrollment and already scheduled tuition increases.
Justice Thomas calls conservatives to continue Scalia’s workWASHINGTON (AP) —
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas says conservatives should make the work of the late Justice Antonin Scalia a “prologue” in the effort to limit the power of the courts and other branches of govern-ment.
The Supreme Court has too often granted rights to people that are not found in the Constitution, Thomas said, citing the decision in
2015 that made same-sex marriage legal across the country. Both Scalia and Thomas dissented from that decision.
“With such unchecked judicial power, we leave it for the least account-able branch to decide what newly discovered rights should be append-ed to our Constitution,” Thomas told 1,700 people at a Thursday night dinner to honor Scalia, who died
in February.He paraphrased Lincoln’s
Gettysburg address to exhort the audience to “be dedicated to the unfinished business for which Justice Scalia gave his last full mea-sure of devotion.”
Thomas said he and his longtime friend and col-league formed an “odd cou-ple” of a white New Yorker and a black man from Georgia. “But together, we soon became our own band of brothers,” Thomas said.
Thomas’ talk to the Federalist Society, along with one earlier Thursday by Justice Samuel Alito, came at an unexpectedly upbeat moment for the con-servative legal organization.
Many among its 40,000 members had resigned themselves to having Scalia’s seat filled by some-one more liberal, expecting that Hillary Clinton would become president. President Barack Obama had nom-inated Judge Merrick
Garland for the seat.“Then, on Nov. 8,
Hurricane Trump hit. The future can be difficult to predict,” Federalist Society President Eugene Meyer said, referring to Donald Trump’s surprising victory.
Now Thomas is more likely to acquire a new con-servative ally. Indeed, nine state and federal judges on Trump’s list of possible Supreme Court nominees are taking part in the group’s conference, which
runs through Saturday.Thomas regaled the crowd
with portions of Scalia’s opinions over the years. He urged “that these words spo-ken and written by Justice Scalia not be the final word written in support of origi-nalism and constitutional-ism. Rather, they ought to be a prologue.” Originalism refers to their shared belief that the words of the Constitution should be given the meaning they had when it was written.

Cowboy State Elite Rodeo to air on FS2 MondaySHERIDAN — The Elite Rodeo Athletes’
League of Rodeo Champions made its 11th stop on its national tour on Labor Day weekend in Sheridan for the Cowboy State Elite Rodeo at the Sheridan County Fairgrounds.
The entire performance will air on Fox Sports 2 (FS2) Monday at 7 p.m.
Events included bull riding, bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, steer wrestling, tie-down and team roping and barrel racing.
The ERA Premier Tour, “Where the Biggest Names in Rodeo Come to Ride,” featured 87 of the top rodeo athletes in the world, represent-ing more than 135 world titles collectively.
They all competed at the Cowboy State Elite Rodeo in Sheridan, including 23-time world champion cowboy Trevor Brazile; 11-time world champion barrel racer Charmayne James; five-time world champion steer wres-tler Luke Branquinho; three-time world champion tie-down roper Tuf Cooper; eight-time world champion tie-down roper Fred
Whitfield; and world champion carrel racer Fallon Taylor, among others.
“We are excited to celebrate the sport of rodeo and a slice of the good life in Sheridan with the rest of the country,” said Cowboy State Elite Rodeo board president Nick Siddle. “As far as we know, this is the first time that a Sheridan sporting event has been nationally televised at this level. We hope everyone here and across the U.S. tunes in on Monday night at 7 p.m. to enjoy the world’s top rodeo athletes compete on Sheridan turf.”

Houston spoils
Louisville’s playoff hopes
HOUSTON (AP) — Duke Catalon scored three touch-downs and Houston hurried and harassed Heisman favorite Lamar Jackson all night to propel the Cougars to a stunning 36-10 victory over Louisville on Thursday night that dashed No. 3 Louisville’s playoff hopes.
Louisville (9-2) entered the game ranked fifth in the College Football Playoff rankings, but was outdone by a Houston team that saw its own playoff hopes foiled by two losses to unranked teams after a 5-0 start.
“We blew it,” Louisville coach Bobby Petrino said.
Things went wrong quick-ly for the mistake-prone Cardinals when they fum-bled the opening kickoff to Houston (9-2). Greg Ward threw his first touchdown pass on the next play to make it 7-0. Brandon Radcliff lost a fumble later in the first and Houston added a field goal on the ensuing drive to make it 10-0.
Jackson threw for 211 yards and a touchdown, but it didn’t come until the sec-ond half.
Houston then scored touchdowns on three straight possessions in the second quarter to push the lead to 31-0 at halftime. Catalon caught a touch-down pass, ran for another score and Houston got the third score in that span on a 50-yard pass by receiver Linell Bonner after a lateral.
“When we’re fresh, we’re healthy, we can play with anybody in the country,” Houston coach Tom Herman said.
Louisville opened the second half with a 12-yard touchdown pass by Jackson, but he fumbled in the red zone on the next possession to ruin a chance to close the gap.
The Cougars were in Jackson’s face constantly, sacking him a season-high 11 times and keeping him from hurting them with his feet. He ran for a season-low 33 yards after piling up 338 yards rushing combined in the last two games.
After Jackson was sacked for the 10th time he threw up his hands and two of his lineman looked to be yelling at each other about who was to blame for his latest take-down.
But the Cougars weren’t done getting after him just yet.
On the next possession he threw the ball away while under heavy pres-sure from Tyus Bowser and was flagged for intention-al grounding, giving the Cougars a safety.
The Cardinals set a sea-son-high with 15 penalties, punted a season-high six times by halftime and the 11 sacks they allowed were more than double their previous season-high. It’s the fewest points they’ve scored since a loss at North Carolina in 2011.
“We didn’t look like our-selves,” Radcliff said.
Ward threw for 233 yards and two touchdowns to help the Cougars to the victory that left Cougar fans storm-ing the field to celebrate.
UP NEXTLOUISVILLE: The
Cardinals wrap up the reg-ular season with a rivalry game against Kentucky next Saturday.
HOUSTON: The Cougars travel to Memphis on Friday for their regular-season finale.

DEAR ABBY Pauline Phillips and Jeanne Phillips
Get a grip (on good health)“Get a grip on yourself!”
snaps Victoria Brisbane (Madeline Kahn) to Dr. Richard Thorndyke (Mel Brooks) in “High Anxiety,” Brooks’ 1977 riotous parody of Alfred Hitchcock movies. Seems the doc is becoming seriously unraveled, and he might just expire if he can’t hold it together.
But losing one’s grip isn’t
always funny, according to a study in The Lancet that looked at the relationship between grip strength, over-all health and your risk of death from all causes and heart woes. The researchers found that the chance of pre-mature death increases 16 percent for every 11 pounds weaker your measured grip is.
Grip strength can be mea-sured using a dynamometer; most physical therapists have one. But you probably know if your grip and arm strength are weaker than they used to be or never were very good, and chances are that’s a sign your overall muscle tone is lacking, something that increases your risk of chron-ic disease and frailty.
So to get a grip on good health, check out Dr. Mike’s NuttyRiceBucket.org chal-lenge and then try this four-step, strength-building rou-tine from Dr. Roizen’s book “The RealAge Workout”:
Walk a minimum 30 min-utes a day -- all at once or in 10-minute increments.
Do 7-10 minutes of strength training of foundation mus-cles (abs, back, buttocks, quadriceps, hamstring and rotators) every other day.
Do 8-10 minutes of strength training of non-foundation muscles (chest, shoulder, biceps, triceps and forearms) every other day.
Do 21 minutes of aerobic exercise three days a week.
You’ll build your grip on great health!
FRIEND ENJOYS A FREE RIDE WITHOUT THE SLIGHTEST THANKS
DEAR ABBY: I am a retired airline employee, and I get passes for my friends and family. I recently provided first-class-eligible round-trip passes from San Diego to Paris to my best friend and her friend. (The fare would have cost them thousands of dollars retail.) The only thing I asked in return was to pick me up a menu, a print or something small that could be packed easily.
They were in Paris for a month, Abby, and they total-ly forgot me. I am so hurt. Sometimes I want to call them and tell them how I feel. Then I think it wouldn’t be a good idea. Frankly, I am angry. What is the best way to handle this? -- UP IN THE AIR
DEAR UP IN THE AIR: I don’t blame you for being angry about the thoughtless-ness and ingratitude they dis-played. Your feelings are jus-tified, and you should clear the air by explaining that you were hurt. You have every right to tell your friend how you feel. And the next time you are asked to give them a free ride, you have every right to just say “non.”
DEAR ABBY: I’m hoping you can guide me on how to handle a sticky situation with my neighbors.
My 9-year-old son has befriended a kid his age. The boy is nice and I don’t mind him coming over. However, he has a younger brother the parents always send with him, and the boy is very hyper and aggressive. I work full time as a behav-ior specialist and deal with hyperactive children all day. The last thing I want when I come home is a hyper child I cannot parent.
My son recently invited his friend to sleep over, and the parents sent both boys. How do I let them know that sometimes just the older brother is welcome without hurting their feelings? -- NOT WANTING TO OFFEND
DEAR NOT WANTING: Hurting their feelings? The
parents are using your invi-tations to the older boy as a baby-sitting opportunity for the younger one. I don’t think it would be rude to tell them you can handle only one child at a time, and to please refrain from sending the little brother to your home unless he is specifically invited.
DEAR ABBY: I am strug-gling with trust in my rela-tionships. I haven’t found a faithful man in any of the relationships I’ve had in the last five years, and it has made me gun shy. Now, each time I try to date, I look for any small indication that he could be cheating, which leads to jealousy and drives men away.
How do I learn to trust again? Should I delete all social media? Should I just
stop trying to date alto-gether? I am so frustrated and tired of getting hurt. -- WOUNDED IN MINNESOTA
DEAR WOUNDED: Putting ourselves out there is risky. There can be many disap-pointments before a person finds the right match. (Men also become frustrated and gun shy.)
Your luck might improve if you become serious less quickly and let relationships evolve without looking for commitment or signs of betrayal. If a man acts responsibly, does what he says he will and treats you with respect, give him the benefit of the doubt and the chances are your luck may change. If you’re unable to do this, some sessions with a licensed professional counsel-or may help.

Hints from Heloise Heloise
Dear Heloise: Anyone perusing the internet will inevitably have to create PASSWORDS, especially when creating accounts for certain commercial sites. Security questions are great, but sometimes the ac-curacy of the answer comes into question, as I’m often asking myself, “Did I type ‘Dr.’ or ‘Drive,’ or did I even put that word in?”
My husband and I use the same pass code when creat-ing accounts we don’t really use often. Not banking or credit-card ones, of course. We just use his name or mine, with a combination of two sets of two-digit num-bers that are meaningful only to us. -- Terry L., via email
Oh my, how many pass-words do we have today? The experts suggest trying to use a combination of let-ters and numbers. Don’t use “PASSWORD123”! I know people who do this! -- Helo-ise
BLUE PAINTER’S TAPEDear Heloise: A while
back, you printed a hint from a quilter about using painter’s tape to mark rul-ers for cutting.
Could you please print
a thank-you to that lady? I also quilt, and I decided to try that -- WOW! What a difference it makes when measuring fabric.
No more mess-ups when cutting a certain size. The painter’s tape doesn’t leave a sticky mess on the ruler, and I have the exact mea-sure I need. Thank you, thank you for an amazing tip. I have shared it with all my quilting friends.
I read your hints every day in the Ventura County Star in Fillmore, Calif. -- Judi C., sent from my tablet
BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY
Dear Heloise: “Better safe than sorry” is what I live by. Whenever I travel, I take photos with my cellphone of my travel documents. I send one set to the person caring for my home and pets, and one to a relative.
It’s like having a file of my tickets, passport, itinerary, hotels, etc., with me. I can access them, if necessary. -- Nona Mae H. in Houston
CAKE DECORATING HINT
Dear Heloise: If you need a revolving cake plate, use the Lazy Susan that may be on your kitchen table.
Place cardboard wrapped in tinfoil on top of the Lazy Susan, and then place the cake on that. Now you can rotate the circular platter instead of you or the foil base when decorating! -- Baker in Boston
NO WASTEDear Heloise: I use steel-
wool pads to clean many items in my kitchen. I’ve noticed that after just a few uses, they start to rust and crumble. Any hints on preserving them would be greatly appreciated. -- Glen W., via email.
Glen, here are two hints for you. A reader, Victo-ria, said: “When you are through using one, rinse it lightly, squeeze and knead the pad a bit until it’s foamy. Then put it on a plas-tic lid or bag to dry.”
Another reader, Nancy B., offered this idea earlier this year: “I use my steel-wool pads for about a year with-out them getting rusty. I put them in a plastic bag after each use and store them in the freezer.”
Nancy’s hint is a longtime, trusted hint from Heloise. No rust! -- Heloise
Bridge Phillip Alder
Bennett Cerf, one of the found-ers of Random House, said, “Gross ignorance is 144 times worse than ordi-nary ignorance.”
That’s the sort of clever comment some people -- like me! -- wish they had thought of first. In today’s deal, though, the word “worse”
was used by the original declarer. He was in four hearts. He ruffed the club-ace lead, drew two rounds of trumps leaving the queen on the board, cashed the diamond ace and king, then played a third diamond. However, East won with the queen and shifted to the spade queen. Three spade losers later, declarer was one down.
“Did you ever see a worse distribution?” South asked his partner. “East had the diamond queen and West had ace-third of spades. If the diamond queen or spade ace had been doubleton, or the diamond queen with West, I would have been all right.”
North agreed that his partner was unlucky. However, after the session, what did he point out that his partner had missed?
After ruffing at trick one, South could have made the contract with some excellent guesswork. The curious may work it out. But much simpler was not to ruff; instead, to discard a diamond. Suppose West switches to a diamond. South wins with dummy’s
king, draws trumps, plays his last diamond to dummy’s ace and leads another diamond. Here, the queen appears, so declarer ruffs, crosses to the heart queen and discards a spade on the diamond jack. If East plays low on the third diamond, South pitches a spade and cannot be defeated even if West wins the trick.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Communication conquers contrasts and helps you achieve acceptable com-promises. You can figure out just how to put an ac-ceptable spin on events and ideas so they can be turned to your advantage.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): You have the ability to put a favorable slant on events and ideas to gain ground and prestige. You may be able to wave a magic wand of enchantment over an existing friendship
and turn it into something special.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may be in a mood to be competitive. Find ways to spend time with others while stretching some mus-cles. Even a good long walk will burn off some excess energy as long as it is with a congenial companion.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The atmosphere may be just right for socializing and visiting with friends and neighbors. Employ your hospitable nature to make everyone feel at home and at ease. Perform a good deed if you have the chance.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t jump to conclusions or be too quick to judge others. A few com-
pliments in the right place might smooth things out. A little bird could whisper valuable information in your ear but you should re-search the details.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A sense of whimsy is in the air. It is useless to take a hard line when everyone else is in the mood to relax and just have fun. Work, and the money you earn from your labor, could take on new meaning.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your head could be in the clouds. Your heart is al-ways in the right place even if someone doesn’t appreci-ate your fanciful outlook. Do some holiday shopping or walk the dog to escape from harsh realities.
IF NOVEMBER 19 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Friends, groups and social activities
could play a major part in your life during the next eight to ten weeks. You may be able to contribute to community events and meet numerous new people in this time period. Your head for business is at its best in January and March. These are good times to re-eval-uate your financial goals and make shrewd decisions. Sail off into the sunset with a special someone and ex-perience your own “happy ever after” by putting im-portant plans and commit-ments into motion in April or May. Because you will be more popular and appealing this is an excellent time to interview for a job or to meet influential people.

Another blocked kick, more ‘catastrophic’ results for Saints against Panthers
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — If the New Orleans Saints hope to make a run at the playoffs they’ll first need to figure out how to kick the football through the uprights.
Seems pretty simple, right?And yet for the second straight week,
disaster struck when rookie kicker Wil Lutz walked on the field.
With the Saints looking to cut Carolina’s lead to seven in the second quarter, Vernon Butler blocked a 38-yard field goal attempt and Luke Kuechly returned it 73 yards to set up a Carolina touchdown before halftime. Kuechly actually scored on the return, but the Panthers were flagged for a block in the back. It didn’t matter as Cam Newton found Ted Ginn Jr. for a 40-yard TD strike on the next play from scrimmage and the Panthers went on to a 23-20 win .
It wasn’t quite as dramatic as four days earlier when Lutz’s potential game-winning extra point was blocked by Justin Simmons
and returned for a defensive 2-point conver-sion in a 25-23 loss to the Denver Broncos, but the 10-point swing was just as costly.
“It’s two weeks in a row that we’ve had a blocked kick that’s resulted in pretty cata-strophic results,” Saints quarterback Drew Brees said. “So I think we’re doing a lot of good things, but unfortunately there’s a couple critical things that need to be fixed in order for us to win and be successful.”
Some other things to know from the Panthers’ win:
SACKS ARE COMING IN BUNCHESThe Panthers defense is bringing the heat
with 18 sacks in their last four games.“Their front’s playing well,” said Saints
coach Sean Payton, whose team has lost four of its past five games at Carolina. “It forces you to come underneath. ... You have to win inside or separate inside. We forced one on the one pick down the field, but it was obviously a more patient approach.”
Brees threw for 465 yards in a victory against Carolina earlier this season. On Thursday night, he threw for 285 in a loss.
“This is a defense that thrives on you getting impatient. We knew that coming in,” Bress said. “I tried to force one that I shouldn’t have, and it was a bad result. Other than that I thought we were effi-cient.”
EMOTIONAL SPEECHPanthers defensive end Charles Johnson
implored his team to not repeat last week’s collapse against Kansas City while on the sideline. Carolina’s defense snuffed out the Saints’ final push for a game-tying field goal attempt.
“There was a feeling of ‘let’s stop it,’” Panthers coach Ron Rivera said. “I think that’s the most important thing. I think Charles Johnson said it best, about stop-ping people. That was good to see Charles step up and talk like that. I think it helped the guys.”
PLAYOFF HOPESDespite close losses and losing records,
both the Panthers and Saints have opti-mism going into the season’s stretch run, in pursuit of first-place Atlanta.
The Falcons lead the NFC South at 6-4, but all three teams behind them are two
games or fewer behind.“Of course we have our hopes high,”
said Panthers quarterback Cam Newton, who passed for 192 yards and a touchdown on Thursday. “We still have our sights to everything that we want, but it’s still right in front of our eyes. It’s going to be up to us to focus in, hone in, and we’re going to mend up for the next couple of days and get ready for Oakland.”
Brees, whose team plays at home against Los Angeles and Detroit next, sees a similar path for the Saints. New Orleans has two games against Tampa Bay and one against Atlanta to come.
“I know there’s a lot of football left to be played,” Brees said. “Nothing has been determined at this point.”
PANTHERS RUN GAME STRUGGLESThe Panthers running game continues
to struggle this season. They were held to 50 yards rushing on 27 carries against the Saints, a mere 1.9-yard average.
It’s part of a disturbing trend for Carolina, a team that ran for at least 100 yards in all 19 games last season. Carolina had just six first downs in the second half.

Trout, Bryant named MLB MVPsCHICAGO (AP) — While
the Los Angeles Angels stumbled, Mike Trout soared again.
Just too good to ignore.Trout won the AL MVP
award Thursday for the second time in three years, and Chicago Cubs third
baseman Kris Bryant was voted NL MVP in balloting by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America.
While the Angels finished fourth in the AL West, Trout was his usual bril-liant self. The center fielder batted .315 with 29 homers, 100 RBIs and 30 steals. He scored 17 percent of Los Angeles’ runs, the highest percentage for an AL player since Rickey Henderson with the 1985 New York Yankees.
Trout, who was a unani-mous winner in 2014, had finished second in three of the past four years. He becomes the first MVP from a losing team since Alex Rodriguez for Texas in 2003 and just the fifth play-er ever to accomplish the feat, joining Hall of Famers Ernie Banks (1958 and 1959), Andre Dawson (1987) and Cal Ripken (1991).
“It’s an unbelievable feel-ing,” Trout said. “Just try-ing to get better every year.”
Bryant hit .292 with 39 homers and 102 RBIs in just his second year in the majors, helping the Cubs to their first World Series title since 1908. The No. 2 overall pick from the 2013
draft becomes just the sixth player to win rookie of the year and MVP in one or con-secutive seasons.
“Kris is just an impressive young man in every aspect,” Cubs owner Tom Ricketts said. “(He) is very mature, professional, light-hearted, but serious at the same time. He’s just kind of a dream player for any orga-nization.”
The Las Vegas native is the first NL MVP from the Cubs since Sammy Sosa in 1998 and the seventh overall for the once-forlorn fran-chise enjoying its best run in decades. First baseman Anthony Rizzo and right fielder Jason Heyward each won a Gold Glove, and Rizzo finished fourth in the MVP balloting. Manager Joe Maddon and pitchers Kyle Hendricks and Jon Lester also were finalists for major awards this offseason.
Voting by BBWAA mem-bers was completed by the start of the playoffs.
Bryant was a runaway winner, grabbing 29 of 30 first-place votes and 415 points. Nationals second baseman Daniel Murphy, was the runner-up with the other first-place vote.
