Put to bed any angst you mayhave surrounding your bedroomby paying attention to yoursleeping space.

Homeowners can have a suitesetup in the bedroom, regardlessof its size, says Rebecca Gray,merchandising vice president ofthe Omaha-based Hayneedle Inc.,a decade-old online home store.

"A bedroom is the place we aresupposed to be spending at leastone-third of our day -- or eighthours," she says. "The restorativequalities of sleep can be linkedto how peaceful and relaxing thebedroom is."

Whether you're outfitting anew bedroom or giving yourtired decor a lift, Gray says tostart with a clean slate for sleep."Get rid of the unused exerciseequipment in the corner and theleaning tower of magazines onthe nightstand," Gray says."Really look at the room andenvision where you see yourselfwanting to wake up every morn-ing."

Take dimensions of the roomand plot out furniture placementbefore buying anything. It's bet-ter to figuratively sleep on it and

take your time before purchasingbedroom furniture, making sureyou have a clearance of at leastthree feet to walk around thebed.

The bed is the obvious center-piece of every bedroom. Butwith so many options, know thatafter you've made your bed pur-chase, you'll have to lie in it.

"It's easy to see a bedroom setonline or on the showroom floor,and fall in love with the look,"Gray says. "Before purchasingthe bed, know the dimensions ofthe room. A California king-sized or canopied bed may not bethe best fit for a bedroom in a1930s bungalow, which has small-er rooms and lower ceilings."

The style of your bedroom fur-niture can range from cottage tocontemporary to traditional totransitional, but its look shouldcomplement your entire home'sdesign aesthetic. Gray says plat-form beds are popular for theirmodern, clean lines and are alsostylish sleepers that age well. "Aplatform bed has a lower profilebecause it doesn't require a boxspring," she says. "Because youdon't have to climb into it, a plat-form bed may allow people toage-in-place easier."

Gray also says people are

refreshing their existing bed-room sets by painting furniturea new color or applying a decora-tive finish to solid wood pieces.But, in order to fully appreciatea bedroom, you have to invest ina mattress that supports qualitysleep. "Finding a mattress thatfits you is very personal," shesays. "A standard rule of thumbis to replace a good quality mat-tress every 10 to 15 years."

Before bringing a bed into theroom, take the opportunity torefresh the six walls that willsurround you. "Painting walls insoft, muted colors sets the stagefor relaxation," Gray says."Wallpaper and wall decals arealso popular, and only requirebeing hung on one wall to createinterest and a focal point in theroom."

Since much of your time in thebedroom is spent lying down andlooking up at the ceiling, consid-er decoratively painting the fifthwall and installing a hanginglight fixture that dims to createvisual interest. Make your bed-room cozy from the ground up byinstalling new carpeting or anarea rug, which sets the stage fora warm feeling underfoot.

Add nightstands and dressersthat complement the design aes-

thetic of the bed without crowd-ing the bedroom blueprint. "It'salso important to make a spaceto sit down in the bedroom,whether it's a side chair or abench at the base of the bed,"Gray says.

Furniture is often the neutralhardware for the bedroom, solook to linens to showcase a soft-er side. A colorful comforter, dec-orative throw pillows and win-dow treatments can enliven adozy design. Artwork shouldreflect your personal style, and— whether it's abstract or a stilllife — the colors and subjectshould be harmonious with theoverall bedroom design.

Next to the bed, a nightstand isan essential piece of furniture.Create a clutter-free zone andshed light on the bedroom designhaving a lamp on the nightstandthat makes a stylish statement.The nightstand might also have agreat book, a small vase of flow-ers and a place to house electron-ics.

"People retire to their bedroomand they often bring work intobed with them," Gray says. "Thekey is to have a place to putthose handheld devices away, sothey don't over-stimulate youbefore going to sleep."

About 15 years ago I asked ayoung landscape architectto do a plan for our back-yard. We had moved into a

newer home that was landscapedin front but nothing had beendone to the back of the house. Itwas “natural.”

The house is built on a bluffabove a river and some sort ofretaining walls and steps were

needed to man-age the incline.We put in alower deck off ofthe lower level inback and startedthe process withretaining wallsthat formed alevel backyardarea. Two sets ofstone steps andtwo sets of woodand gravel stepswere built on

either side of the back. We werelucky that spigots that connectedto the ag water in our systemwere already in place. Sprinklerand drip systems were added tothis. A lot of amending of soilhad to be done but suddenly wewere the proud parents of a back-yard.

All these years later it stillmakes me smile to remember theprocess of building and definingthe spaces within this part of theproperty. I was lucky with thedesign and lucky with the con-tractor. Both were open to negoti-ation and input, this isn’t alwaysthe case.

Low walls in areas that aregathering places can help definespace and add extra seating thatalways seems necessary. Theywork also to visually define theturf areas from those where trees,shrubs and perennials can beadded.

A few years ago I had concreteedging put in to replace the wood-en edging around the front yard.If you ever have this done makesure you are in attendance so youcan control how this plays out.Not everyone is as concerned asyou are about how you wantthings to look after the work isdone.

Edging is another way toenhance a more low maintenanceapproach to lawn care, it alsohelps to define spaces. Edges actlike picture frames and gives theeye a way to see where bound-aries are within a landscape. Useof indigenous building materialsin building walls and edging willalways make a landscape better.

SUSAN WOODY has been a home and garden writerfor more than 20 years and is a master gardener.

The genus name Aquilegia is derivedfrom the Latin word for eagle (aquila),because the shape of the flower petals,which are said to resemble an eagle's

claw. The common name "columbine" comesfrom the Latin for "dove,” due to the resem-

blance of the invertedflower to five doves clus-tered together. This veryadaptive native plant iswell suited to many soiltypes and will grow inmany different elevationsand climate settings.

Denver Gold offershuge yellow flowers withexceptionally long spursthat bloom heavily inspring. Often, Aquilegia'Denver Gold' will re-bloom summer through

fall if flowers stems are cut back. As withmany other columbines, Denver Gol' isgraceful, with blue-green foliage and is awonderful addition to formal or cottage

gardens with its flowers at the center ofattention. Columbine offers a wealth offlowers in sun or shade and sometimes willself-sow without being annoying. ‘DenverGold’ performs best in dappled sun to par-tial shade.

Denver Gold grows 24 to 36 inches highand has a spread of 15 to 20 inches. It iscold hardy with a USDA zone rating ofthree. The butterflies and hummingbirdsreally like this plant and the deer and rab-bits tend to stay away from it. Mostcolumbines work really well in a naturaliz-ing setting, or as a tall border or even in arock garden. The pairing with smallerflowers underneath such as the OrangeCarpet hummingbird trumpet, with itsbright orange/red flowers is quite showy.The cut flowers are wonderful in anyarrangement and the fragrance is verypleasing.

Another columbine that does really wellis the Swan Violet & White. Thiscolumbine grows 14 to 24 inches tall andhas a width of 15 to 18 inches. This plant

will also do well in dry shade as well ascontainers. This is in contrast to the RedHobbit, which is a dwarf Danish selectionwith eye-catching dark red and white flow-ers, hybridized from native Rocky Mt.Columbine. In soft contrast to this red isthe Little Lanterns Columbine which is adwarf variety fitting into even the smallestspaces, and blooms with cheery flowers ofbright red and yellow.

The blue native varieties of columbinefound in the Rocky Mountains add to thevariety of color. This goes to show how var-ied this species of perennial plant can be,from growing in the southwest to theRocky Mountains, and varying in colorfrom yellow, to violet, to reds, to blues. Thecolor and flower shape and size varies to fitany gardeners design. By combining thecolor variations of these columbines in anaturalized flower garden would be quiteshowy and for best results make sure thesoil is well drained.

I really like using columbines in a flowergarden and would encourage you to try

them if you have not already. They arequite the adaptive and colorful plant thatwill come back year after year. Columbinescome in many varieties to choose from andthe spur on the flower makes them quiteunique looking. Make sure you realize theydo re-seed themselves, but they are notoverly obnoxious about it and in the rightsetting, they fill in a space quite nicely.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Anew law preventing anyone 70 or

older from running for constableor justice of the peace inLouisiana is facing stiff opposi-tion — especially among the offi-cials who are about to be bannedfrom re-election because of theirage.

The mandatory retirement pro-vision was signed into law inJune with little fanfare. Now,however, the law is drawing fireas the deadline for filing to runin the November electionapproaches next week. Some ofthe court officials affected by thenew law say they intend to runanyway, even though it says theyare too old.

“I’m 77 years of age, but I feelthat I’m more qualified and capa-ble of being a justice of the peaceat this age than I was when I waselected 42 years ago,” saidLynwood Broussard, who repre-sents a ward in Lafayette Parishin south-central Louisiana. “I feelthat the people in my districtshould decide if I’m capable ortoo old to represent them.”

Wyoming is home to two national monu-ments: Fossil Butte National Monumentand Devil’s Tower National Monument.

Located in the southwest corner ofWyoming 9 miles west of Kemmerer onU.S. Highway 30, Fossil Butte National

Monument is host to fossilized fish,insects, plants, reptiles, birds and mam-mals from ancient life in a sub-tropicalenvironment of 50 million years ago.

The guiding value for the Departmentof Family Services/Adult ProtectiveServices is “that for every actiontaken there must be a balance of the

duty to protect the safety of the vulnerableadult and the adult’s right to self determi-nation.” This is the same value that alladult protective service agencies attest toand to which the laws that govern ouragency are defined.

When interests compete, the adultclient is the person we are charged toserve; not the community concernedabout safety, the landlord’s concern aboutproperty, citizens concerned about crimeor morality, nor families concerned abouttheir own health or finances. Freedom isuniversally noted to be more importantthan safety and the person can choose,and has the legal rightto live in harm, provid-ing that she/he has thecapacity to choose, doesnot harm others andcommits no crime.

We realize the frustra-tion for families andprofessionals regardingself-neglect and wemake every effort tosupport their concernsand to facilitate theirunderstanding of ourlaws and of theresources available in their communities.Each community has an adult protectiveservices team which is an additionalresource for families and agencies.

Our intent is to provide a link to servic-es for the individual and to support thefreedom of their choices, their safety, theleast disruption of their life style andtheir right to continue to make choices.The department does not take custody ofadults nor do we have any authority toadmit individuals to facilities.

Our agency had a case whereby awoman we shall call Lydia, had stagefour cancer and wanted to die at herhome where she had lived for 40 plusyears with her dog and her KatherineHepburn movies. The medical professionfelt the end of her life should be in afacility where she had nursing oversightand was in a clean environment. She hadthe capacity to consent which is definedin our statutes. Our intent was to honorher choice and to connect her to in-homeservices. She was not willing to haveservices but she did agree to have aSenior Companion. In that our agencyhas very limited funds we need our com-munities and our partners to support vul-nerable adults and elders in partnershipwith us.

We were able to find a local church thatwould make sure she did not run out ofdog food and groceries and her SeniorCompanion knew of someone who wouldfix the VCR, at no cost, should it needrepair. We also knew that the SeniorCompanion would let us know if her situ-ation changed. Lydia died at home.

We assume what the community heardand said was what the department failedto do and that we allowed her to remainin her home, which some thought wasnot as clean as it should be, with her olddog. It would have been a very negativeview of the department when in factwhat should be heard is that the depart-ment honored her choice with regard toher end of life and partnered with hercommunity. We will all want the right toself determine as we age and/or assumea disability.

Our laws allow us to provide emergencyservices if the vulnerable adult lacks thecapacity to consent and if the court findsby a preponderance of the evidence thatthis exists. The court, not the depart-ment, may then admit a vulnerableadult/elder to a hospital or other suitablefacility. The order shall remain in effectfor no longer that 72 hours and may beextended if the court finds the extensionis necessary to remove the emergency.The department can assist with locatingfamily and/or someone to assume legalresponsibility for the vulnerableadult/elder. The department does notassume this legal responsibility.

Capacity to consent is determined incourt with supporting documentationfrom physicians and mental health pro-fessionals. There is an assumption thatadults with developmental disabilities ormental illness lack capacity to consentand this is not true and there are far lessrestrictive supports to assist these indi-viduals in managing their lives, whichmay include financial and medical.

SHERIDAN — As the first day of the newschool year approaches, a local group is try-ing to make sure that the beginning of theschool year gets off to a good start forNative American students.

MORE, or Mah’heo’o is on the RezEveryday, is spearheading an effort to pro-vide backpacks, school supplies and newschool clothes for students on nearby Indianreservations.

“I think it helps them to start the yearwith the mindset to learn and they are notso worried about the things they shouldn'thave to worry about,” founding director ofMORE, Christie American Horse said aboutthe benefits of the program to students. “Ithink too when you can come to school witha new outfit and new school supplies, youfeel good. Kids are nervous starting a newclassroom anyway, I think it just helps themto feel good about themselves and givesthem a more positive attitude starting theyear.”

The program, Stack the Packs, is in itsthird year. Though it had a slow start,American Horse said there has been growthin the program. The first year, approximate-ly 1,700 items were donated, while last year’snumber jumped to 2,300 items donated,allowing the group to send more than 50backpacks filled with supplies, to the WindRiver Indian Reservation.

To help target their efforts, the groupworks with existing entities and individualson the reservation.

“We try to work with the people and organ-izations on the reservation as opposed tocoming in as an outsider and doing stuff,”American Horse said. “I try to keep in con-tact with the reservation and find out whatthey need and work from there.”

Major partners include pastors andchurches working on the reservations, aswell as teachers.

“Usually the teachers have a really goodfeel for where the need is,” American Horsesaid. “A lot of the teachers there spend theirown money to provide for the kids.”

In the past, backpacks and school supplieshave been donated to Busby schools, theWind River Reservation and schools inWyola. This year, American Horse said thegroup is again focusing on Busby schoolsand will also donate to the Fort Peck

Reservation. Any additional items that comein through the school year will be donated tothe Wind River Reservation.

American Horse said donations of new orgently used backpacks as well as school sup-plies can be dropped off at Marla’s Cakesand Specialties store downtown. They arealso accepting donations of new childrenand youth clothing. School supplies that arerequested include binders, notebooks, pens,pencils, glue and glue sticks, erasers, looseleaf paper and pencil sharpeners.

For people who wish to donate financially,American Horse said a $6 donation will buysupplies for an elementary student, $8 willbuy supplies for a junior high student and$12 will buy supplies for a high school stu-dent.

The group is also holding a yard sale Aug.16 throughout the day, at 1357 N. Main, withall proceeds being used to purchase back-packs and supplies.

In addition to donations of school suppliesand backpacks, MORE is in need of volun-teers to help sort the donated items, fill thebackpacks and possibly deliver the items tothe reservations.

To donate money, items or to volunteer,contact American Horse at 461-3730.Financial or other donations can be mailedto PO Box 467 Sheridan, WY 82801.American Horse said donations at any timeare welcome, but she is hoping to get themajority of donations by the last week ofAugust.

SEATTLE (AP) — Police inWashington state are asking thepublic to stop tweeting duringshootings and manhunts to avoidaccidentally telling the bad guyswhat officers are doing.

The “TweetSmart” campaignbegan in late July by a coalitionof nine agencies, including theWashington state patrol and theSeattle police, and aims to raiseawareness about social media’spotential impact on law enforce-ment.

Some have called the effort astep that could lead to censor-ship; others dismissed it as silly.Police, however, say it’s just areminder at a time when cellphones and social networks canhasten the lightning-quickspread of information.

A social media expert at theInternational Association ofChiefs of Police said she’sunaware of similar awarenesscampaigns elsewhere but theproblem that prompted the out-reach is growing.

“All members of the publicmay not understand the implica-tions of tweeting out a picture ofSWAT team activity,” said NancyKorb, who oversees theAlexandria, Virginia, organiza-tion’s Center for Social Media.

“It’s a real safety issue, notonly for officers but anyone inthe vicinity,” Korb said.

Korb said she is not aware ofany social media post that hasled to the injury of a police offi-cer, but she said there have beena few close calls. Other times,tweets have interfered withinvestigations.

In those cases, police tweetback and ask people to back off.

Korb said citizen journalistsgenerally respond well when thereasons are explained.

“It’s not that they don’t wantthe public to share information,”she said. “It’s the timing of it.”

Social media speculation andreports challenged Boston policeduring the search for themarathon bombers.

Two recent incidents led theWashington State Patrol toorganize the “TweetSmart” cam-paign: the search for a gunmanin Canada after three officerswere killed and a shooting at ahigh school near Portland,Oregon.

“I saw it personally as far backas Lakewood,” said State Patrolspokesman Bob Calkins, refer-ring to social media traffic dur-ing the manhunt for a man want-ed for killing four officers inWashington state in 2009.

At the time, people speculatedonline about why police werecombing a Seattle park while asearch was on for the man,Calkins said.

Calkins said police agenciescan do their own preventativemaintenance with social mediaby getting information out therewhen crime is happening.

“We have to respond with asmart phone almost as fast as werespond with a gun,” saidCalkins, who along with Korbcommended the Seattle PoliceDepartment for its use of socialmedia.

What is its value? What does itcost? What will it take to makeit happen and/or make itmine?

These are questions that apply tomerchandise, rentals, homes, ranches,

automobiles, ATVs,SUVs, kayaks, boats,day trips, monthlong vacations, airflights, cruises, host-ing guests, garagesales, holiday festivi-ties and gift buying(Thanksgiving,Christmas, July4th), new businessventures and oldbusiness ventures,community projects,living on the edge,living in security,

doctor and dental appointments,retirement plans, choosing an attor-ney, choosing a massage therapist or

personal trainer, choosing an invest-ment, choosing a non-profit, how andwhere and when one gets their haircut or trimmed — the list could obvi-ously go on.

More specifically: What is the valueof the church? What does the churchcost? What does it take to make it hap-pen? Here in Sheridan there arechurches on hills, churches in valleys,churches established for over 100years, churches just getting started,churches in former schools, churchesin community centers, churches inhomes. Then there are churchesnationally — cathedrals, mega-churches, para-churches, coffeechurches, mall churches, opulentchurches, skid row churches, ethnicchurches, famous churches, littleknown churches.

And there are churches worldwide:the churches of 100,000 meeting in sta-diums, the churches of the two orthree meeting clandestinely, ancient

historic churches, churches begunonly yesterday, churches in stores andshops, in universities, in bombed outbuildings, churches in prisons,churches in prairies, churches in ‘thewild wood, Roman churches,Orthodox churches, Protestantchurches, cowboy churches, bikerchurches.

What does the church cost? What isits value? What does it take? What didit take to make it happen? What is itspurchase price?

Consider this startling and mindboggling response from the apostlePaul as he speaks to the elders of achurch: “…shepherd the church ofGod which He (God) purchased withHis own blood.” (Acts 20:28) Goddidn’t write a check. God bled.

GARY KOPSA is a chaplain with Volunteers of America NorthernRockies.

What is the purchase price? What is the church worth?

W-I-N-N-E-R? Players vie to become Scrabble champBUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — The world’s best Scrabble players

are squaring off for the title of Scrabble champion, whichwill be awarded Wednesday.

The 25th National Scrabble Championships beganSunday with 525 players from 11 countries competing forthe $10,000 top prize.

By the time it is over, contenders in five divisions willhave played 31 games each over five days, with rankingsbased on win-loss records and the number of points bywhich they outscore opponents.

The player to beat is five-time champion Nigel Richards,an Australian who lives in Malaysia. Will Anderson, aneditor from Croton-on-Hudson, was hoping to spell out aserious challenge after finishing third last year.

“He’s like the Michael Jordan of our game,” saidAnderson, who prepared for the games by solving jumbledword lists and playing practice matches. “He’s in a class by

himself and his command of the dictionary is unbeliev-able. ... We’re all kind of looking up at this guy in awe.”

Mark Przybyszewski, Buffalo’s top player, was prettysure he wouldn’t win the world title but was confident hewould retain his ranking as having the highest scoringname in Scrabble, worth about 39 points on the board.

His goal for the tournament was a winning record.“I play better when I’m playing better players,” said

Przybyszewski, who prepared by getting in as many gamesas possible, either on the computer or in person. “Whenyou’re facing someone who you know could end up in themoney, you know you have to be on your toes at all timesand not make a dumb play and not let a dumb play go.”

The tournament began days after the announcement that5,000 new words had been added to “The Official ScrabblePlayers Dictionary,” but players won’t be able to use thosewords until after this year’s championship.

LONDON (AP) — Don’t know what“vaping” is? How about “listicle”?

Perhaps it’s time to get to knowthem. Britain’s Oxford UniversityPress said Thursday it is adding thewords — along with other newentries, from “time-poor” to “Paleodiet” — to its online OxfordDictionaries to reflect new languagetrends.

Editors for the site track and ana-lyze some 150 million English wordsused online, in newspapers and othersources, and once every few monthsthey decide which new words are so

widely used that they merit a diction-ary entry.

“These are words that are commonenough that you are likely toencounter them, and may have to lookup their meanings,” said OxfordDictionaries editor Katherine Martin.

One of these is “vape” or “vaping,”which describes inhaling smokelessnicotine vapor using e-cigarettes.Oxford Dictionaries researchers saythe usage of both “vape” and “e-cig”has increased about 10 times in thepast two years.

“The trend of e-cigarettes has creat-

ed a sort of vocabulary around it,”Martin said.

Many new entries are informalwords or abbreviations that reflectpeople’s changing media consumptionhabits and the Internet’s ever-increas-ing prominence.

They include “listicle” — anInternet article in the form of a num-bered or bullet-pointed list — and“live-tweet,” the act of posting com-ments about an event on Twitter as itis taking place. There’s also “binge-watch,” which refers to rapidly view-ing multiple episodes of TV shows.

‘Vape’, ‘binge-watch’ added to Oxford Dictionaries
