SHERIDAN — Sheridan’s Earth Day celebration will bebigger and better than ever this year, according to localorganizers. The annual event will pair the Earth DayFestival with the annual Local Foods Expo and will takeplace on campus at Sheridan College Saturday, April 20.

“I think everyone can do something to help this commu-nity,” said Ace Young Earth Day Chairman andRehabilitation Enterprises of North Eastern WyomingPublic Relations and Marketing Director, about the impor-tance of community members attending the celebration.“For example, at the landfill they typically recycle 2,900tons of garbage. The more people recycle the longer it canbe before they have to expand the landfill and I know thisis not getting any cheaper in terms of requirements.Anything we can do (to increase recycling), we are sav-ing ourselves money, we are being kind to Mother Earthand we are being kind to this community we live in. Youcan talk about global warming if that is your thing, but Ithink it gets a lot more local than that.”

The Local Foods Expo is in its third year, but this is thefirst time it has been held in conjunc-tion with Earth Day, which has beencelebrated in Sheridan for severalyears.

“It was kind of a fortunate accident.We scheduled our events on the sameday,” explained Kentz Willis, Universityof Wyoming Extension Educator andchairman of the Local Food Expocommittee, about how the two eventsmerged. “Once we realized that, westarted talking and realized itmakes a lot of sense to havethis together. We’veusually been a weekendapart but this year weare not. I envision it con-tinuing this way. It’s reallygreat I think for everybody.”

Events will kickoff Fridaynight at The Black ToothBrewing Company with a Beer,Cheese and Chocolate pairing. Theevent will begin at 5 p.m. and pre-registration is requested. Cost is $10and will include a tour of the brewery.

“That is a new thing this year,” Willissaid. “They are going to do the brewerytour and following that we’ll have a panel oflocal producers and experts to field some questions onlocal foods. They are also going to field some more ques-tions the next day in the dome (at Sheridan College).”

Saturday’s events begin at 9 a.m. and continue until 4p.m. A variety of activities, located in the WattAgricultural Center and the Bruce Hoffman Golden Dome,are available for kids and adults.

The first educational session at 9 a.m. will feature a pres-entation by local historian Judy Slack on the history oflocal food production.

“Our opening talk is going to be on the history of localfood in Sheridan County to celebrate the 125th anniver-

sary of the county,” Willis said. “(Slack) has put together agood presentation and I think she has some great pictures.We’ll also have some agriculture equipment, displays and

things to show how we used to sus-tain ourselves here before the global,industrial food system.”

Educational sessions will then continuethrough the day, focusing on helping peoplegrow, harvest and preserve their own produce coveringtopics such as extending the growing season, companionplanting, growing organically, using water efficiently inthe garden and utilizing your harvest.

“We are having three seminars or workshops,” Willissaid. “The first one is really about getting your food freshfrom the garden, how to put it to use, how to plan. The sec-ond one is the next step, if you are going to be cookingyour food, how to cook food that is easy to grow here. The

third is fermenting vegetables, if you want to make thingslast longer.”

“We’ve also got a great program on season extension totalk about those things you think you couldn’t grow inWyoming or those things that you already grow, but couldgrow more of or for longer and later,” he added.

Earth Day attendees will have the chance to sample localfare at lunch, with students from the Family Career andCommunity Leaders of America program at Tongue RiverHigh School serving a meal using locally and regionallysourced ingredients.

“We will be serving a white chili with beans from thePowell University of Wyoming Extension Centerand chicken from (Sheridan County’s) HollidayFamily Farms, stuffed French bread sandwiches

with a Wagyu ground meat and sausage, groundWagyu from Good Health Emporium produced by

Omega Beef, sausage and seasonings fromWarehouse Market,” FCCLA teacher Pat Mischke said.Throughout the day, booths will be open featuring

local food vendors and booths with Earth-friendly prod-ucts or interests. Crafts and activities for children willalso be available.

“As far as vendors, they had to be a greencompany or have eco-friendly products, so it

will all be geared toward sustainable Earth-friendly living in Sheridan County,” said

Darla Franklin, an Earth Day committeemember and city of Sheridan Solid

Waste Division employee. “We have some giveaway items and

we are going to provide informationon recycling,” she continued. “We’ll

have a display board that showswhat items can be recycled

and how they can bereused as new items.”In another form of

recycling, the SheridanCollege Outdoor Adventure

Club will hold their secondGear Swap the same day in the

Golden Dome from 8 a.m. to 1p.m.“The club couldn’t have selected

a better community service activity!They are excited to build on the suc-

cess of the first event this timearound,” club advisor Julie Davidson

said. “In vein with the community out-reach, the students are enthusiastic about

sharing the Golden Dome with the SheridanLocal Foods Expo and Earth Day Festival.

“An equipment swap has two benefits; it is a chance forfolks to clean out their garages and gear closets of stuffthey no longer use, or that their children have outgrown,”Davidson added. “Additionally, it allows people to shop forused equipment, which is great if their kids are still grow-ing, they want to try a new activity, or they are on a tightbudget.”

Anyone wanting to drop off items for inclusion in thegear swap can do so on Friday, April 19 between 4 p.m. and8 p.m. Contact 307-461-9285 or emailSheridanCollegeOAC@gmail.com for more details.

SHERIDAN — TheWyoming Department ofEnvironmental Quality’sAir Quality divisionannounced this week that itis set to increase emissionscompliance checks onengines at oil and gas pro-duction facilities acrossWyoming.

The department beganconducting the tests in 2011.State spokesman KeithGuille said they’ve been use-ful in helping managersmeet emissions standardswhile simultaneously allow-ing their facilities to run ina more efficient manner.

“It’s important that we try

to bring (emissions) downso we don’t have the ozoneissues we’ve seen in certainparts of the state,” he said.

In a prepared statementreleased Thursday, air quali-ty division administratorSteve Dietrich, said theseincreased checks are animportant step in ensuringoil and gas production does-n’t come at the expense ofWyoming’s air.

"These engines at thefacilities already have stateair permitting require-ments and must meet feder-al standards when built," hesaid. "However, these addi-tional checks using aportable analyzer, test theoperations of these enginesin the real world environ-

ment, including the effectsof weather conditions, ele-vation and loading."

The affected engines areprimarily used at facilitieswhere the existing energygrid isn’t powerful enoughto support the facility’soperations.

Guille said reactions fromthe oil and gas industrieshave been largely positivein response to the recentannouncement.

“All of them know whatthey’re doing, of course,but this just gives themsome more help from anemissions standpoint,” hesaid.

Guille added that compli-ance administrators tend tofocus their testing mainlyon areas such as Sublette

County where air quality isrelatively poor as the resultof energy development.

In communities such asPinedale, ozone levels havehistorically pushed pastwhat are normally consid-ered healthy levels. Ozoneis an air pollutant that cancause respiratory healtheffects especially to chil-dren, the elderly and peoplewith existing respiratoryconditions.

The next steps to furtherthese efforts could include amore formal testing regimethat follows EnvironmentalProtection Agency refer-ence methods for recurringproblem areas as well asdevelopment of trainingopportunities for operators,according to DEQ.

Law toughens penaltiesfor land violations

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) —People who damage statetrust lands can be ordered

to make restitution under anew law that increases theconsequences for violatingland-use restrictions.

The State Board of LandCommissioners votedThursday to give the Officeof State Lands andInvestments authority toenforce the law on statetrust land that has beenclosed to the public or hasrestricted uses.

The state generally allowsrecreational uses on legallyaccessible state lands.However, it can close areasor restrict uses, such as ban-ning hunting or motorizedvehicles in certain areas,said Ryan Lance, director ofthe Office of State Landsand Investments.

“We’ve had severalinstances where people havebeen shooting on state trustlands, bullets have beenfound in cars, houses andfarms ... and the board hasacted judiciously to closethose areas,” he said

When land was damagedby unauthorized uses, theboard had no way to citeviolators and had to pay forit through its TrustPreservation andEnhancement Account.

The new law allows misde-meanor citations to beissued with penalties rang-ing up to a $750 fine and sixmonths in prison.

BILLINGS (AP) — Aggressive graywolf hunting and trapping took atoll in much of the Northern Rockieslast year as the predator’s populationsaw its most significant decline sincebeing reintroduced to the region twodecades ago.

Yet state and federal wildlife offi-cials said Friday that the populationremains healthy overall, despite wor-ries among some wildlife advocatesover high harvest rates. Its range iseven expanding in some areas aspacks take hold in new portions ofeastern Washington state andOregon.

Overall, biologists tallied a mini-mum of 1,674 wolves in 321 packsacross the six-state NorthernRockies region at the end of 2012.That marks a 7 percent decline.

“We expected the states to bringthe population down and that’swhat’s been happening,” said MikeJimenez, wolf recovery coordinatorfor the U.S. Fish and WildlifeService. “They are bringing it downgradually.”

Wolf management was turned overto the states when the animals losttheir federal protections over the

last two years. Hunters and trapperslegally killed a combined 570 wolvesin Montana, Idaho and Wyoming lastyear.

State officials in the three stateshave been adamant about theirdesire to have fewer wolves on thelandscape. The U.S. Fish and WildlifeService will continue to monitor thespecies at least until 2016 to ensurethey aren’t again wiped out as hap-pened in the early 20th century.

The year-end numbers showWyoming’s wolf population down 16percent from 2011, to 277 animals.Montana’s numbers fell 4 percent to625 and Idaho’s dropped 11 percent to683.

That was partially offset by popula-tion gains in eastern portions ofWashington and Oregon, where wolfnumbers have been climbing rapidlyover the last few years but stillremain low compared to other partsof the region.

Oregon now has 46 wolves in theeastern third of the state andWashington 43. Combined, that’salmost double the 2011 numbers.

The government’s original recov-ery goal, set in the 1990s, was at least

300 wolves across the region. Despitelast year’s decline, the latest figuresshow the population remains atmore than five times that level.

Parts of northern Utah also fallwith in the Northern Rockies wolfrecovery area, but the state has nowolves.

In Wyoming, wildlife officials thisweek said the state will halve itsquota for the fall hunting season, to26 animals.

The proposal will be up for publicreview this spring. It applies only tothe state’s trophy game areas forwolves in the northwest corner ofthe state around Yellowstone andGrand Teton National Parks.Elsewhere in the state wolves aredesignated as predatory animals thatcan be shot on sight.

If the population drops below 150wolves or 15 breeding pairs in thestate for three years in a row, the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service has said itwould step in to see if the animalsneed federal protections restored.

Wyoming Game and Fishspokesman Eric Keszler said thequota reduction is meant to keepthat from happening.

Study: Ozone drives more people to docsCASPER (AP) — A new

study says higher pollutionlevels in southwestWyoming from 2008 to 2011drove more people toSublette County clinics anddoctors.

Data released by theWyoming Department ofHealth link elevated levelsof ozone, a toxic pollutant,

to increased visits to physi-cians, especially for respira-tory complaints.

The area has for yearsseen higher levels of ozone,largely as a result of natu-ral gas drilling activity.

The study comparedozone data collected by theWyoming Department ofEnvironmental Quality to

patient data collected in thecounty. It showed that forevery 10 parts per billionozone rose, respiratory-based visits to doctors rose3 percent.

THE SHERIDAN PRESS |JUSTIN SHEELY

WASHINGTON (AP) —Congress is repealing somefinancial disclosurerequirements for highlypaid federal officials afteran expert panel concludedthat publishing detailsabout their personal hold-ings and transactionsonline exposes them toidentity theft and creates anational security risk.

The House passed a billFriday doing away with theonline filing requirementsexcept for the president,vice president, members ofCongress, Cabinet officers,other officials appointed bythe president, and candi-dates for president orCongress. The Senateapproved it Thursdayevening. Both chambersapproved the measure byvoice vote.

The bill now goes toPresident Barack Obama.The White House has notsaid whether he will sign orreject it.

As part of a law aimed atcurbing the perception thatlawmakers or members oftheir families were tradingillegally on insider informa-tion, Congress voted lastyear to require themselves,

their aides and other feder-al employees making morethan $119,554 a year to dis-close their financial deal-ings more regularly in anonline, searchable database.

But Congress has delayedimplementing the require-ment under the so-calledSTOCK, or Stop Trading onCongressional Knowledge,Act.

Ihate packing. Packing and unpacking

are just no fun.You have to fit all of your stuff into asmall suitcase (I’ve lost too many bags

to want to check anything).You have to make decisions about your

vacation before you’re even there (Will wego out to a nice dinner or not? Do I needdress clothes or can I wear jeans and flipflops the whole time?)

Vacations are meant to be relaxing andcarefree, not over burdened with pre-vaca-tion decisions.

There is only one time I rememberthinking that my vacation packingprocess was easy and carefree and sur-prisingly, it was for my one and onlyinternational trip.

A couple years ago, my husband and Iwere planning to backpack through NewZealand and Australia.

There was no need for a suitcase,

because you can’t carrythat on a trail. Therewas no need for dressclothes, because weplanned to cook over asmall camp stove or trythe local mom and poprestaurants.

All I needed was agood pair of walkingshoes, some clothes andthe appropriate paper-work to get me in andout of the countries.

Piece of cake.While it turned out I did need some nice

clothes (while in Sydney we attended anawful play at the Sydney Opera House),neither I nor my husband worried aboutit too much.

After all, we were silly Americantourists and it gave me an excuse to go

shopping in Sydney.The unpacking part of the trip didn’t go

nearly as well.If I remember correctly, both of our

backpacks sat full of souvenirs andclothes in our living room for at least acouple of weeks. Different items had beentaken out and relocated around the house,but the bags were not “unpacked” forquite some time.

Anyway, we have to begin the processagain because my family is meeting us inPortland Wednesday to spend some timewith my grandma.

We’ll be on the coast for a few days andwill be able to walk out the door and be onthe beach. Ahhh, peace and quiet.

I’m looking forward to the trip, butdreading the packing.

I wonder if I’ll need sunglasses.

SF 104 highlights

lively debate in GOPN

ational Republican Party leadershave been working through arebranding effort. The party isattempting to clarify its positions,

improve its outreach and tone and essen-tially, win more elections. Yet there is dis-sention in the ranks.

Some argue the GOP doesn’t need tochange, rather just an infusion of morebackbone to reinforce its core beliefs.Others argue how the party is out of touchwith minorities, women, younger votersand need substantive message and moreappealing candidates in order to winfuture elections. Even here in Wyoming — where officials called the election for theGOP just minutes after the polls closed inNovember — there seems to be a funda-mental split in the party.

Senate File 104, which was passed by theWyoming Legislature during this year’ssession and signed by the governor, stripsWyoming Superintendent of PublicInstruction Cindy Hill of most of herduties. Hill has sued to reclaim her powersand the Wyoming Supreme Court hasagreed to hear her case. In addition, theWyoming Republican Party CentralCommittee officially endorsed the referen-dum to repeal the legislation. In a statewhere there are just eight Democrats inthe House and four in the Senate, manywould think such deep-seated, philosophi-cal disagreements wouldn’t happen. Butsure enough, here we are.

Legislators feel the committee has over-stepped its duties. Others fear the legisla-tion will split the party, just as otherissues have on the national political scene.Too, Ms. Hill announced in January shewill run for governor. Many feel she wouldbe a formidable candidate and would giveincumbent Gov. Matt Mead all he couldhandle.

But perhaps this sort of crisis of identi-ty will help the Wyoming RepublicanParty revisit its platforms regarding edu-cation, which in 2012 said nothing aboutthis shift in policy.

Under its 2012 education platforms, theGOP addressed the following:

• the need for healthy competitionamong schools (private, public, vouchersand homeschooling)

• English as the official language ofinstruction

• the abolition of the U.S. Department ofEducation

• the right of parents to direct theirchild’s education and upbringing

• how to teach and talk about sexualityin schools

• the teaching of historical documents• merit pay for teachers • the role of educationUnder the last heading, “role of educa-

tion,” the party “believes in education thatstresses goals, accountability, parental andlocal control and enhanced reading, sci-ence and math skills,” while encouragingflexibility for rural schools and specialneeds students.

SF104 is one of those rare pieces of legis-lation that can comes along once in awhileand has many components therein. It canbe a core piece of lively debate on its mer-its and political motives. And it’s legisla-tion that can tear a party apart, or remindit of its roots.

Often, the best political moves are whenthe Legislature isn’t in session.

Pre and post vacations can be painful

Forty three years have passed sincethe first Earth Day when millions ofpeople joined together to show theirsupport for the protection of our

environment.One of the highlights of Earth Day is

taking stock of the great progress that’sbeen made. That progress is real. But ourjob is not done.

As the proverb goes; “The Earth wasnot given to you by your parents, it wasloaned to you by your children.” I thinkthat sentiment has particular resonanceon Earth Day — when people around theglobe are making an extra effort to con-serve and promote our natural resources.

That proverb has also been a drivingforce behind our efforts to ensure a futurefor a brighter, healthier and more eco-nomically prosperous city — a Sheridanthat we want to “return” to our children,as magnificent as it can be.

The citizens of Sheridan are good stew-ards of the environment.

Our recycling program has beenembraced and is one of the most success-ful recycling programs in the region.

Since its inception therecycling program hasgrown by 424 percent.Last year 2910 tons ofrecyclable materialswere kept out of thelandfill and that ishuge.

Landfills are veryexpensive to operate sothe more stuff that wecan ship off to berepurposed the better itis for the communityand the environment as

a whole.In the same spirit of the pioneers who

founded Sheridan, we remain focused onpromoting the right kind of economicdevelopment for our community.

We have identified the work to be done,we have a plan and we are followingthrough with the plan. We have accom-plished much — but much remains to bedone.

Preserving open space, developingparks and pathways, restoring the Goose

Creeks to their natural grandeur are allvital aspects of creating the Sheridan wewill be proud to leave to our children andgrandchildren.

This year we’re excited to combine theEarth Day celebration with the SheridanLocal Foods Expo.

Gardening and raising your own food ismaking a huge resurgence all across thecountry. It’s good to know where yourfood comes from and of course the fresh-er it is, the better.

Locally grown food is good for us andgood for the environment. Earth Day andthe Sheridan Local Foods Expo willinclude educational speakers, music,food, children’s activities, and local ven-dors providing locally grown foods, serv-ices and products centered around sus-tainable and “green” living in Sheridan.The Earth Day Festival/ Sheridan LocalFoods Expo will be held on SaturdayApril 20th at the Sheridan College GoldenDome from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Please join us in celebrating Earth Day!!

The power of connections

There are so many things I love about living inWyoming.Sometimes, in mid-April, when it's snowing and 18degrees, I lose touch with those reasons but they

quickly return to me when the sun shines and the recentlyreturned robins sing.

One of the perks of being a Wyomingite is that the wholetheory of six degrees of separation is complete bunk.

That’s the notion that I am only six acquaintances awayfrom being close, personal friends with Bruce Springsteenor George Clooney. Sigh. If only. No, I argue that inWyoming it's about 2 degrees of separation. You know it'strue.

I'm not from here but the longer I stay (21 years andcounting), the more I realize the veracity of it.

They say that Wyoming is just one long Main Street but Ithink it's more like one scenic cul-de-sac that has really great block partiesinvolving broncs and bulls.

How often have you had a conversa-tion that sounds something like this:“Hi! My name is Fred Hickenbock! I’mfrom Shoshoni!” “Hickenbock?

Are you related to the EvanstonHickenbocks? I think my cousin used todate an Edith Hickenbock. Any rela-tion?” “You bet!” “That’s my mom’sbrother’s daughter’s kid!”

Am I right or am I right?And perish the thought about trying

to do something illegal or immoralwithout getting caught by someone who knows you in thisstate.

Back to the cul-de-sac theory. Inevitably, if you are in aDubois bar lifting a cold one with someone who is not yourspouse, it’s a done deal that your Torrington spouse willfind out about it before you return home. The neighbor-hood watches out for each other, and no one is invisible.

In a Wyoming town, this two degree of separation theorycomes in even handier.

If you want to get something done or meet someone, it’spretty much an assumption that you know someone whoknows that person.

Want to talk with a city councilman? Sure, you can defi-nitely send an email or call and you should. But you prob-ably also know his bowling buddies and can call one ofthem for an introduction.

Want to know what the new business is going in on MainStreet? Excellent chance that you know the plumberwhose van is parked outside and can call him for the scoop.

Thanks for slogging through all this for me to get to thepoint. Once again, I really do have one. When we had ourMarch Bridges Out of Poverty training, the trainer told usthat every single person in that room had resources. Theymight not be educational or monetary but we knew people.

People who knew other people. People who could enroll someone in a college class. Peoplewho could help with taxes. People who could decipher amedical bill.

People who could fix a tire. Never underestimate thepower of connections.

You may not realize you have them until they’re request-ed but you do. And they’re hugely valuable to someoneelse who may not have the same connections.

So when you’re asked to give back to your community orto contribute, don’t feel like you have to automaticallyreach for your wallet. Your connections are the most pre-cious resource you can share.

Because in this beautiful cul-de-sac known as Sheridan,Wyoming, neighbors look out for each other and if theycan’t loan the cup of sugar, they introduce you to the fami-ly two doors down who has it.

Be that person.

AMY ALBRECHT is the executive director of the Center for a Vital Community.

In Sheridan, there are abused andneglected children who live in theshadows of the Bighorns.She may be the little girl in your

son’s kindergarten class who had tomove homes and change schoolsthree or four times in the last year.He may be the lonely child at thepark who doesn’t join in the play.

The foster care and child welfaresystem is full of compassionatelawyers, judges, social workers andfoster families, but in Sheridan andJohnson County we are currentlyserving over 99 children in 73 opencases.

This intense need can strain thesystem to the point where they aresimply unable to protect the rights ofeach child.

So the little girl who has alreadysuffered in an abusive home entersthe foster care system, which placesher in three or four different homesin just a few months. Or the two sib-lings who lost their mother to incar-ceration are split up and live on dif-ferent sides of the same county.

This isn’t just a problem, it is noth-ing short of a violation of theirhuman rights. A child cannot defendhis or her own rights, but a CASAvolunteer can.

Child Advocacy Services of the BigHorns and our local CASA program(a national nonprofit organization)train and support volunteers —peo-ple like you and me —t o speak and

act as advocates forthe best interestsof abused and neg-lected children.They are trained towork within thechild welfare andfamily court sys-tems and areappointed byjudges to individ-ual cases. With thehelp of a CASAvolunteer, a childis half as likely to

languish in the foster care system,and that much more likely to find asafe and permanent home.

But today, only 75 percent of thechildren in child welfare cases inSheridan County have access to aCASA volunteer. That’s nearly 20children in our county who don’thave that one voice that speaksdirectly for them. We are dedicatedto ensuring that every child in thefoster care and child welfare systemhas a qualified CASA volunteer look-ing out for their best interests.

Every child has a right to thrive. To be treated with dignity, and to

live in a safe, loving home. Every child deserves a fighting

chance.Once grown, these former foster

kids could be our future doctors,teachers and leaders. Comingthrough a period of vulnerability

and fear, the child can then under-stand his potential and his rights.She will believe in herself. That isour opportunity and our challenge.

I invite the people Sheridan Countyto stand up with me and supportthese children. Visit with us at ourupcoming free Light of Hopefundraising breakfast on Friday,April 19 at the Best WesternSheridan Center and find out howyou can become a CASA volunteeryourself or how you can financiallysupport this incredibly giving pro-gram.

The breakfast is free and doorsopen at 7 a.m. with the programbeginning at 7:30 a.m. Each personwill be asked to contribute to theoperations of CASA in Sheridan andJohnson County.

I have seen firsthand the transfor-mative impact a CASA volunteer canhave on a child. With the assistanceof a trained volunteer looking outfor the child’s best interests, I haveseen children’s eyes come alive forpossibly the first time in their shortlittle lives.

Will you please join me in fightingfor the rights of these children?Please call 675-2272 or attend ourLight of Hope Breakfast, April 19 formore information.

This photo shows an Equal Suffrage float in a Sheridan parade. It was taken during a celebration held July 3, 4 and 5 in 1916. Wyoming was the first State to award women the rightto vote, granted in the 1890s. In 1888, Henry Asa Coffeen was the only delegate elected from Sheridan to the Wyoming Constitutional Convention. Coffeen was quite active indrafting the State's Constitution, including its equal rights clause. You can read about Coffeen's political career in Mike Mackey's new book, "The Political Career of Henry AsaCoffeen." The photo is in the Wakefield Collection of the Sheridan County Museum's Memory Book Project.

Hawaii land board approves world’s largest telescope

HONOLULU (AP) — A plan by California andCanadian universities to build the world’s largest tele-scope at the summit of Hawaii’s Mauna Kea volcanoreceived approval from the state Board of Land andNatural Resources on Friday.

The decision clears the way for the group managingthe Thirty Meter Telescope project to negotiate a sub-lease for land with the University of Hawaii.

The telescope would be able to observe planets thatorbit stars other than the sun and enable astronomersto watch new planets and stars being formed. It shouldalso help scientists see some 13 billion light yearsaway for a glimpse into the early years of the universe.

The telescope’s segmented primary mirror, which isnearly 100 feet (30 meters) long, will give it nine timesthe collecting area of the largest optical telescopes inuse today. Its images will also be three times sharper.

But the telescope may not hold the world’s largesttitle for long. A group of European countries plans tobuild the European Extremely Large Telescope, whichwill have a 138-foot (42-meter)-long mirror.

Some Native Hawaiian groups had petitioned againstthe project, arguing it would defile the mountain’ssacred summit.

Native Hawaiian tradition holds that high altitudesare sacred and are a gateway to heaven. In the past,only high chiefs and priests were allowed at MaunaKea’s summit. The mountain is home to one con-firmed burial site and perhaps four more.

Environmentalists also petitioned to stop the tele-scope on the grounds it would harm habitat for therare wekiu bug.

The board approved the project anyway, but imposedtwo dozen conditions including a requirement thatemployees be trained in culture and natural resources.

The University of California system, the CaliforniaInstitute of Technology and the Association ofCanadian Universities for Research in Astronomy arespearheading the telescope. China, India and Japanhave signed on to be partners.

The University of Hawaii is involved because it leas-es the summit land from the state of Hawaii.

Improv comic Winters diesLOS ANGELES (AP) —

Jonathan Winters, thecherub-faced comedianwhose breakneck improv-isations and misfit char-acters inspired the likesof Robin Williams andJim Carrey, has died. Hewas 87.

The Ohio native diedThursday evening at hisMontecito, Calif., home ofnatural causes, said JoePetro III, a longtimefriend.

Winters was a pioneerof improvisational

standup comedy, with anexceptional gift for mim-icry, a grab bag of eccen-tric personalities and abottomless reservoir ofcreative energy. Facialcontortions, soundeffects, tall tales — allcould be used in a matterof seconds to get a laugh.

“Jonathan Winters wasthe worthy custodian of asparkling and childishcomedic genius. He didGod’s work. I was lucky 2know him,” Carrey tweet-ed on Friday.

Local youth group gives backBY STAFF REPORTS

The K-Life Youth Group believes ingiving back to the community.

The Christian youth group inSheridan has been focusing itsefforts on community service in theone year it has been in Sheridan,including a service trip to Missourithis summer.

“We wanted first and foremost toshow how to be a leader and how toserve others and served like Christserved,” said Brett Riley, Sheridanarea coordinator for K-Life.

According to Riley there areapproximately 100 local youth whotake part in the group and they meetweekly. In July they will head toKanakuk Kamps in Branson, Mo.Riley describes it as a “resort-style”camp, however it will be no summervacation for those who go. He saidapproximately 13 youths will headdown there to volunteer their time inthe kitchen, working 9-10 hours a daypreparing food, cleaning the kitchenand washing dishes.

This is not the first service projectthe group has done, however. Theprevious projects have had a morelocal feel. They have worked withPink Link in October for their run-walk. Riley said they also hope pro-vide help for the YMCA Camps andHabitat for Humanity and assistSheridan College students in move-in day.

Colbey Bruney, a Sheridan HighSchool sophomore, has recentlybegun attending K-Life events and

says he may go to Missouri this sum-mer, if his schedule permits.

Bruney, who plays football for theSHS football team said the team wasencouraged to take part in communi-ty volunteerism by Broncs footballcoach Don Julian. He said a handfulof SHS football players take part in

K-Life events.He said in the future, he and Riley

have discussed ways the group canhelp seniors in the area as well asveterans.

“I feel like if you give a little bit,you get a little bit back,” Bruneysaid.

'Defiance' merges video game with TV dramaLOU KESTEN,

ASSOCIATED PRESS

What if you could take up swordsagainst the Lannister family on"Game of Thrones"? Or solve mys-teries with the "NCIS" crew? Orpitch an ad campaign to Don Draperon "Mad Men"?

And then: What if you could watchthe consequences of your actions onTV the next week?

That's the premise behind"Defiance" (for the Xbox 360,PlayStation 3, PC, $59.99), a collabo-ration between the online game stu-dio Trion Worlds and cable TV'sSyfy. By the time "Defiance" the TVshow debuts Monday, "Defiance" thevideo game will have been out for afew weeks — enough time for play-ers to make their own mark on thisnew universe.

Both the game and the TV dramaare set in 2046, some 30 years afterthe Votan collective of alien speciesarrived in the skies over Earth.After a brutal war, the humans andaliens have settled into an uneasypeace, but alien technology thatcrashed to Earth has drasticallychanged the landscape.

The "Defiance" game shows theeffects of these "arkfalls" onCalifornia's Bay Area, now a waste-land packed with bloodthirstymutants, hostile cyborgs and over-

grown, fire-spewing insects. Yourcharacter — male or female, humanor Votan — is an ark hunter whomakes a living by scavenging fromcrash sites, and the search for a par-ticular alien artifact brings you tothe West Coast.

Soon after your arrival, the game'ssprawling map opens up, letting youchoose from dozens of missions. Youcan race dune buggies around thewilderness. You can infiltrate raiderstrongholds and steal their loot. Youcan rescue farmers from "hellbug"infestations. Most missions can behandled solo, but if you stumbleacross a major arkfall you're goingto need help from other online play-ers.

You'll also discover "episode mis-sions" that relate to the next week'sinstallment of the "Defiance" TVshow. In the first such adventure,you meet military veteran JoshuaNolan and his partner, an aliennamed Irisa. They ask for your helpretrieving a lost Votan doohickey,which turns out to be a significantplot device in the premiere of theSyfy drama.

The titular town of Defiance wasbuilt on the ruins of St. Louis, so Idon't know how many of its charac-ters will visit us ark hunters outWest. But both sides of the"Defiance" team have collaboratedon building an impressive world,and I'm eager to see where they go

from week to week.I was able to battle through the ini-

tial batch of episode missions in justa few hours, but there's plenty moreto do. As with any online shooter,you can engage in raucous deathmatches with your fellow humans.Or you can enroll in the ShadowWar, in which huge teams of up to 64players each battle for control ofsites all over the map.

Such massively multiplayer epicsare popular among computergamers, but we haven't seen manyon consoles. I've been playing"Defiance" on the Xbox 360, and Ilove being able to use an Xbox con-troller instead of a PC's keyboardand mouse. On the other hand, I wasfrequently unable to log onto Trion'sservers during the first few daysafter the game went on sale. Thatproblem has eased up, but there arestill too many glitches, from unre-sponsive controls to disappearinginventory items.

There's also a wearying samenessto the bulk of the missions, whichtypically consist of racing to a loca-tion, killing a bunch of monstersand retrieving some object. Theaction is intense and challenging,often reminiscent of 2K Games' fine"Borderlands." But it's missing thatseries' twisted sense of humor, andI'm hoping Trion delivers more vari-ety in future episodes. It's a work inprogress; for now,

Summit winner hascharted unique course

Academics for All is pleased to announce thatKristin Grammens, daughter of Bob and ValerieGrammens, is this week’s Summit Award Winner. Shehas charted a unique course through Sheridan HighSchool with her sights set on eventually becoming aneducator herself.

Grammens has taken several challenging academiccourses including advanced placement environmentalscience, AP psychology, biology, chemistry physics,and three years of Spanish. But ratherthan take several AP classes her senioryear, she chose to focus on taking “highschool classes that are available only hereand where SHS is the best environmentfor taking them. I can get the collegeclasses in college.”

For example, Grammens has taken athree semester sequence in child andfamily studies that includes two‘practicums’ which gave her hands-on experienceworking with young children.

She has been a peer assistant in the unique adaptiveP.E. program. As a junior and senior, Grammens devot-ed one class period each fall to being a Link Leader,mentoring freshman to help them become successful atSheridan High.

She is secretary of the National Honor Society, is onthe Student Council, and has participated in FutureBusiness Leaders of America..

Janine Goodrich, family and consumer scienceinstructor at SHS, oversees Grammens’ currentpracticum. Grammens works first period at SagebrushElementary School where she assists in a special edu-cation classroom for kindergarten and first grade stu-dents.

She works primarily with one student for whom sheis developing specific interventions. She is alsoresearching and writing a case study so her observa-tions and techniques can benefit others.

Goodrich describes Grammens as “a natural.” Shegives 150 percent.

Her positive energy and enthusiasm stand out andare contagious. (At Sagebrush) she is highly respectedby the teachers.”

Goodrich has also overseen Grammens work as aLink Crew Leader. Leaders meet with freshman duringtheir lunch hour throughout the fall semester, tryingto make sure that the new high schoolers have theinformation, attitudes, and techniques they need to beeffective learners and participants in the high schoolcommunity. Goodrich says, “Kristin is incredible.She’s no nonsense when it comes to organizing andplanning. She held her co-leaders feet to the fire, but ina positive way. She’s well respected.”

Grammens has been on the Indoor and Outdoortrack teams each year. She runs primarily sprints andsprint relays.

SHS track coach, Art Baures, who is also Grammens’Sociology instructor, says, “Kristin is a leader. She iswilling to step out in front. But she’s a great teamplayer and can work with anybody.

She’s very individualistic in her thinking and is notafraid to do what is right.”

“She has a great sense of humor and gets along wellwith everyone,” Lonna Forister, SHS math teachersaid. “One of her greatest attributes is her sensitivityand concern for others.She works well in groups andindependently and is always willing to go beyond whatis required in order to get the job done. Kristin is anintelligent, ambitious, and reliable young lady who iscompletely loyal and trustworthy. She is capable ofdoing anything that she sets her mind to.”

Grammens attributes her unique combination ofindividualism and altruism to being very religious. “Ihave a personal relationship with Christ,” she said.“I’ve given my life to God and put myself in hishands.”

She uses the strength and the perspective this rela-tionship gives her to think independently and to makeher own choices about what is right and wrong.

Grammens is planning on attending SheridanCollege next year.

After two years there, she expects to move on to theUniversity of Wyoming in Laramie and earn a bache-lor’s degree in education followed by a masters degreein special education.

When to call your pastorAnd rising very early in the morning,

while it was still dark, He [Jesus]departed and went out to a desolateplace, and there He prayed.

And Simon and those who were withhim searched for Him, and they foundHim and said to Him, "Everyone islooking for You."

And He said to them, "Let us go on tothe next towns, that I may preach therealso, for that is why I came out."

And He went throughout all Galilee,preaching in their synagogues andcasting out demons. Mark 1:35-39 ESV

This is how I explained “When toCall Your Pastor” to my congre-gation: The term “pastor,” theLatin (and German) word for

shepherd, is a most appropriate titlefor a called servant of the word in aChristian congregation. As your shep-herd, I count it a privilege to be one ofthe Lord’s “undershepherds” in Hischurch. And that means that I amhere to care for you the Lord’s way, inword and sacrament ministry, to be ashepherd to the flock of Christ. Inaddition to making monthly or twice-monthly visits to shut-ins and tryingto regularly be in the homes of allcongregation members, I would espe-cially like to provide care for anyonein need.

You can help me to help you. I amnot always aware of every member’sneeds or concerns. I can best shep-herd or pastor the members of thisflock as they give me notice of theirneeds, or as I learn of them from acaring friend or family member.

Don’t be afraid to be like Simon

Peter and contactme, even on a dayoff, whenever thereis a true emergency.Together we canrejoice in the com-fort of the wordand the gifts of bap-tism, absolution,and HolyCommunion. Pleaseleave messages oneither voicemail ormy mobile phone.They all have

remote access so I can check messageseven when I’m away!

Please call me, your pastor, anytime, and especially:

• when you (or a family member orcongregation member) are hospital-ized for any reason

• before outpatient surgery• when concerned about a friend• after a birth to schedule baptism• when there is a death in the family,

especially a congregation member,before making funeral arrangements

• when contemplating marriage• before seeing a lawyer for divorce• when you just need somebody to

listen to you• when you have a family crisis• when you have questions about

your faith• when you have a prayer request• when you have sorrows, joys, or

concerns that you want to shareI am your servant placed here by

God to serve you with His good gifts ofword and sacrament. You can help meto do that.

Regarding Hospital VisitsIt is an honor and my pleasure to

visit members who are hospitalized.The best way for me to make sure vis-its are made at the hospital is formembers to let me know when theywill be there. (I also welcome informa-tion from family, friends and othercongregation members.) I am happyto be there to offer prayer and sup-port. This includes, when possible,hospital visits that are out-of-town(Billings, Casper, or Rapid City). If Icannot get to a member who is hospi-talized out-of-town right away, I canwork to find pastoral care from a pas-tor who is local.

Please keep in mind this as well. Itis increasingly difficult to have accessto patients to the attention given to anindividual’s privacy rights. When youare giving information to the nurse oradministrator at the hospital stay, youwill be asked if you want clergy vis-its. Please identify yourself as aLutheran (so that your name androom number shows up on the“Lutheran list”) and please be sure tosay that you would like your pastor tomake visits to you.

Please remember two things. One,please let me know if you are going tobe in the hospital, even if you feel youdon’t need a visit. I can at least knowyou are there and keep you in prayer(privately, if you would prefer). Two,be sure to let the hospital know yourreligious preference (Lutheran) andthat it is OK for your pastor to seeyou.

PASTOR’SCORNER|Paul Cain

BY A. ROSE HILLSHERIDAN SENIOR CENTER

Bill Avery retired in 1985from teaching music after35 years but not fromSheridan’s music scene.This 2007 recipient ofAARP’s AndrusCommunity Service Awardhas been instrumental inshaping Sheridan’s musicalcommunity.

Avery’s path initially wasnot in music but in dairyfarming. Born in Gardiner,Mont., he moved to Larmiewith his parents whereAvery began eighth grade.His grandmother sent $50for him to start music inschool. Because he had longarms, it was suggestedAvery try trombone.

As a high school studentAvery returned to Gardinereach summer to work onhis grandparents’ dairy.Much to his grandfather’sdispleasure, he faithfullytook time each day at 4p.m. to practice his trom-bone. His grandfather’splan was for young Averyto take over the dairy whenhe finished his schooling.His grandfather milkedcows every day, at 4:30 a.m.and at 4:30 p.m., not thefuture Avery envisioned forhimself.

After high school and astint in U.S. Air Forcebands, Avery received abachelor of arts in musicfrom the University ofWyoming.

His first teaching job wasin the Douglas High School.His choral groups consistedof all girls.

A girls trio, took firstplace in four divisions atthe state festival. Averydoes not take credit fortheir excellence becausethey’d been singing togeth-er before he arrived.

He met and marriedElaine Lofgren in the sum-mer of 1950 and his win-ning girls trio sang fortheir wedding.

The Averys moved to

Sheridan where Bill Averybegan teaching fifth gradethrough high school bandas well as English classes.They joined the UnitedMethodist Church choirwhere he directed the choir.Bill Avery also joined thearea musicians’ union.

The union was responsi-ble for the eight band con-certs each summer inKendrick Park at that time.Bill started directing thesummer band, a passionthat continued for the next50 years. He played trom-bone and sang with theKing Davis band amongother groups.

Then, in the 1970’s therewas a change on theSheridan music scene.

“When rock and rollcame, it kind of did awaywith the musicians’ unionin the smaller towns,”Avery said.

Under a union environ-ment, musicians paid duesand the union set wages formusicians to be paid eachtime they played.

“Rock and roll bands ofthe time didn’t belong tounions and played for what-ever they could get,” Averysaid.

The competition undercutunion musicians for paidperformances and theunion disbanded. TheSummer Concerts atKendrick Park ended.

After a hiatus, son Nedurged his father and othersto resurrect the SummerPark Concerts. The resur-rected program offeredfour band concerts plusfour concerts from a musi-cal genre mix. Averyjumped in to schedule theband concerts while anoth-er volunteer schedulesother musicians. He volun-teers each summer to con-duct one of the band con-certs.

“Sometimes I direct twosummer band concerts,but that’s it,” Avery said.

His role in Sheridan’smusic scene is not con-tained to the summer parkconcert program.

After a benefactor gavethe United Methodistchurch two octaves of bells,Bill was tapped to directthe bell choir. The choirnow has 28 bells plus a C-sharp and D bell.

The Averys gifted a set ofchimes to the church’s bellchoir. Bill Avery continuesto direct the bell choir aswell as sing in the church’schoir.

He also sings in theCommunity College Choir.

He has touched the livesof his students. One stu-dent, Don Cherni, blind atage five, made a career ofteaching music. Avery metwith Cherni each week fora private clarinet lesson.According to Cherni, Averyrefused payment for the les-sons saying — “It’s part ofthe job.”

“Not only have many ofMr. Avery’s studentsbecome professional musi-cians and educators, but hegave them all a lifelong loveof music,” said former stu-dent Ariel Downing, who isnow the band instructor atBig Horn School.

Doing more than you ever imagined

Nationally, the month of April is a time to cele-brate, recognize and honor volunteers. Althoughmany of us who are fortunate enough to workwith volunteers on a daily basis try to express

our heartfelt appreciation throughout the year, it is anawesome opportunity to thank those individuals whomake our lives better by their selfless service to others.I am quite certain each and every one of you readingthis article has shown a kindness tosomeone else that deserves recogni-tion and a thank you. So please take amoment and acknowledge your owncontributions to your corner of theworld and give yourself a high-five,stadium wave or pat on the back(whichever is easiest!).

On April 8th, Wyoming’s NinthAnnual Jefferson Awards for PublicService luncheon was held in Casper.It was inspiring to hear the stories ofindividuals who have dedicated theirlives to serving their communities.Congratulations specifically to ourlocal nominees: Doug Osborn, Lois Bell, MaurineBadgett and Jessica Winner for their tireless dedicationto our community. Secretary of State, Max Maxfieldshared a quote from Winston Churchill, “We make a liv-ing by what we get, we make a life by what we give.”

He added that Wyoming volunteers exemplify the truemeaning of service, by what we give back to each other.

One of the most inspiring moments for me was theacceptance speeches of the top four winners. They vol-unteer despite physical ailments, wheelchairs and oxy-gen use.

“We are all our brother’s keeper, volunteerism is apart of that,” Helen Potts from Riverton said.

She revealed that the secret to her longevity has beengood food and a positive attitude. And she certainlyexuded that positive attitude as she continued toexclaim that she was “blown away” by the recognition.

“And yet her greatest contribution to us in Rivertonis her spirit at age 101.” A quote borrowed from hernomination said. “Most of us won't live to that age, butall of us can learn from Helen Potts how to age grace-fully while being an active volunteer.”

As with most of the awesome volunteers I know, theyserve not for the recognition and glory but because it ispart of who they are, part of their core being.

I think this poem from an anonymous source sums itup…

One song can spark a moment, One flower can wakethe dream, One tree can start a forest, One bird can her-ald spring, One smile begins a friendship, One hand-clasp lifts a soul, One star can guide a ship at sea, Oneword can frame the goal, One vote can change a nation,One sunbeam lights a room, One candle wipes out dark-ness, One laugh will conquer gloom, One step muststart each journey, One word must start a prayer, Onehope will raise our spirits, One touch can show youcare, One voice can speak with wisdom, One heart canknow what is true, One life can make a difference.

Thank you to all the volunteers who prove over andover, that one life can make a difference when dedicatedto serving others.

“The Jefferson Awards are given annually to thosewho serve, help and heal their communities acrossAmerica.” It says in the Jefferson Awards mission.“One of its major goals is to reach into communitiesacross the country and reward individuals who mightotherwise go unnoticed. The Jefferson Awards aredesigned to teach us that we can all do more than weever imagined. The world has changed significantlysince the Awards were founded, but there are basictruths that have not changed. One person can make adifference, and we all have the responsibility to try tomake our community a better place to live.”

Lady Broncs power past Camels

Ryan’s second half goal seals dominant SHS performance, 1-0BY BRAD ESTES

THE SHERIDAN PRESS

SHERIDAN — Gillette was probably happythat they didn’t lose 4-0 Friday night inSheridan.

The Lady Broncs roared out of the chutes,dominating possession against the LadyCamels on their way to a 1-0 victory behinda goal from Robbi Ryan.

It was Ryan’s first game back with the soc-cer team after missing the first half of theseason with an injury. Her return sparked aprolific offensive attack for the Lady Broncs,which generated shots on goal for nearly thefull 80 minutes.

After a weekend in which the Lady Broncsdropped two games and were outscored by acombined 6-0, head coach Tom Racette washappy for his girls.

“The kids needed to feel what it’s like toget a win, not just to get a win, but to playwell and get a win,” he said.

Surprisingly, due to the lopsided posses-sion, the Lady Broncs didn’t score until wellinto the second half. At the 41 minute mark,Ryan would explode past her marker up theleft line, hit a shot off the keeper’s fingertipswhich bounced off the crossbar, and down infront of goal, where Ryan would rebound itand slot it home.

Sheridan had more chances in the firsthalf, as they built confidence with each clos-er shot on goal. Emily Julian hit two dippingshots that challenged the keeper and earnedcorner kicks for Sheridan at the 15 and 25minute marks.

The Lady Broncs had their defense pushedup in front of half, and good possession playfrom Megan Songer, Lauren Passini andCelena Kelly generated multiple secondchances at goal. The Lady Camels wouldescape into halftime as Ryan’s first fastbreak ended when her shot sailed just wide.

“We knew that they’d make a few runs atus and they did,” Racette said of his second

half adjustments. “We were able to weatherthose storms and still play composed. Therewere times in that second half when the pos-session went back and forth, but the kidsplayed composed and played intelligently.”

The Lady Camels generated their firstthreatening shot at 39 minutes that was han-dled masterfully by fill-in keeper SarahLaTempt. Starter Bailey McLean was outwith a broken nose.

“Sarah played really well today,” Racetteintoned. “We’ve had a lot of confidence inher all along and she’s in a tough positionmost of the time, but we know that we cantrust her when we need her.”

Even as Ryan shined with their lone goal,the Lady Broncs as a whole were fast andaggressive, jumping in front of passes, andearning 50-50 balls that allowed them theirmany chances.

“We’ve been working on first touch a lot inpractice, and playing quick, and it cametogether pretty well today,” Racette said.

Robbi Ryan strikes at the Gillette goalkeeper during the second half Friday night. Ryan would collect her own rebound and score to give the Lady Broncs theonly goal they’d need on their way to a 1-0 victory over the Lady Camels.

Camels clip Broncs 1-0BY BRAD ESTES

THE SHERIDAN PRESS

SHERIDAN — It was a game that a coachcould be pleased with against a No. 1 rankedteam.

The only problem was, that team was Gillette.Despite a 1-0 loss, the Broncs played hard, not

letting the Camels get too many good chanceson goal. The Camels only goal came when aloose ball in the box sat for too long, wasknocked around close to the goaline, and even-tually ruled a goal by the assistant referee.

Players on both teams seemed surprised bythe called goal, which was credited to juniorAlex German in the sixth minute of play.

“I’m not unhappy at all about our perform-ance,” Rizer said. “We want to win and wealways want to win. Anyone who knows meknows I’m maybe the most competitive guy inthe world. On the other hand, I’m happy withthe improvement we made as a team.Particularly in the new formation. We had thebetter chances in that game. We’ve got to do a

better job of finishing them. And we’ve gotto do a better job of not letting goals thatare questionable in. The bottom line isthere shouldn’t have been a ball bouncingon a line that long for someone to call.”

Sheridan entered the game with a newformation, bolstering its midfield, anchor-ing just one forward up front, in a shift tolast year’s method. And the Broncs showedpromise in the new scheme at times.

The Broncs held the ball in the middlethird, trading possession with the Camelsfor much of the first half. They finallyearned a corner kick after their first deeppressure 12 minutes in, which sent out towho Lucas Wollenman who sailed a volleyhigh over the bar.

Gillette would hold possession again for

about five more minutes until ColterCarzoli broke into space, past the finaldefender and delivered what looked to be asure goal on a lasered shot into the top leftcorner.

But Gillette keeper Andrew Hays wouldmake a diving save.

The first half closed as Gillette sent longballs through and over the Sheridandefense, but keeper Jess Edens collectedeach time. A sloppy clearance in stoppagetime fell right at the feet of a Camel attack-er facing an open goal, but he was swarmedby SHS defenders.

Defense was key for Sheridan throughoutthe night.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — The 14-year-old from China isn’t goinganywhere in a hurry. And thisMasters is still a long way fromtaking shape.

Despite being the first player atAugusta National to get hit witha one-shot penalty for slow play,teen sensation Guan Tianlangstill made history Friday as theyoungest player to make the cutin a PGA Tour-sanctioned event.

And it came down to the lastshot of a wild and windy day.

Jason Day could have sent thekid home early with a birdiefrom just off the front of thegreen on the 18th hole. But theAustralian was wide left andtapped in for par, giving him a 4-under 68 and a one-shot lead overfellow Aussie Marc Leishmanand the ageless Fred Couples.

The par meant that Guan, whohad one shot added to his scoreon the 17th hole for his secondbad time of the round — madethe cut under the 10-shot rule.

“If I can make it, I would bereally happy for it,” Guan saidsome five hours earlier. “But if Ididn’t make it, it’s still a greatweek.”

He’s now part of a weekend atAugusta that should be as dynam-ic as ever.

Day was at 6-under 138, and 18players were within four shots ofthe lead, including Tiger Woods.

Woods moved into a share ofthe lead with a two-putt birdie onthe eighth hole, and his gamelooked to be as sharp as ever —perhaps too sharp.

FROM B1

Gillette held even more possessionin the second half, and Sheridanstruggled to find chances to draweven.

“There’s a reason why three ofour four captains are defenders,”Rizer praised his back line. “Theydo a great job back there. They keepus in games, and we just have got tomature as a team through the mid-dle of the field.”

Late in the game, Sheridan wouldmake runs, but none of them threat-ened the Camel keeper too much.Matteus Segura stole a ball deep inthe corner from a scramblingGillette right back, and singlehand-edly weaved toward goal, only to seehis shot hit low off the outside ofthe post.

Gillette would clear and wasfouled three times inside 20 min-utes, granting free kicks, all within40 yards.

“I think Gillette is a very goodteam and we want to play the very

best competition always, and I thinkwhen we see a team of that quality,and we see that we can play withthem, it’s good for our confidence.”

Against an unbeaten team inGillette that has given up one goalall season, at times Sheridanseemed one pass away from releas-ing that last striker in on goal.Carzoli’s made a second run in thefinal half in which his shot sailedwide.

Sheridan drops in the 4A East con-ference with the loss, and they’reidle the rest of the weekend as theyprepare for round 2 of conferenceplay next week against Laramie andCheyenne South.

“If we worry about the processrather than the results, the resultscome,” Rizer said, after telling histeam postgame that they can devel-op into a “great team” if they findtheir places in the new formation.“It’s just a process of learning toexperience those spaces better, andlearning where they are on thefield.”

FROM B1

Right when it looked like he mighttake the outright lead, Woods hit alob wedge that was so perfect it hitthe flag on the par-5 15th and car-omed backward off the green andinto the water. Instead of having ashort birdie putt, he had to scram-ble to save bogey.

Woods posed over another shot onthe 18th and was stunned to see ithop onto the upper shelf, leading tohis second three-putt bogey of theweek. He had to settle for a 71,though he was still only three shotsout of the lead.

“My score doesn’t quite indicatehow well I played today,” Woodssaid.

Day, a runner-up at the Masterstwo years ago, can be one of themost exciting players in golf whenhis game is on, and he was firing atflags from everywhere Friday. Evenfrom the pine straw under the treeson the dangerous 11th, the Aussietook dead aim at the pin and set upa rare birdie to join the leaders.

His only blunder was hitting intothe water short of the 12th, thoughhe still managed to escape withbogey, and then he fired a 4-woodlow enough to stay below the treesand avoid the wind on the 13th, set-ting up a two-putt birdie.

He was cognizant of the guysbehind him — Woods included —though just as much pressure comesfrom trying to be the firstAustralian in a green jacket.

“The moment I start worryingabout other players is the moment Istart losing focus on what I need todo, and when I do that, I’ll startmaking bogeys,” Day said. “It’sobviously great to have the lead. I’mvery exciting for the challenge overthe next two days. It really is excit-ing to have the opportunity to winthe Masters. I’m very, very happywhere I am right now.”

The 53-year-old Couples, whoshared the 36-hole lead last year atthe Masters, birdied the 18th holefor a 71 and will play in the finalgroup.

“I did tee off Thursday with theidea of playing well, and now it’sFriday afternoon late. I’m surprised,but I’m not going to freak out overit,” Couples said.

Former Masters champion AngelCabrera birdied five of his last sixholes for a 69 and was in the grouptwo shots behind, along with formerU.S. Open champion Jim Furyk (71)and Brandt Snedeker (70). Woodswas at 3-under 141 with six others,including Adam Scott (72), LeeWestwood (71) and Justin Rose (71).

And still in the mix was RoryMcIlroy, who turned his fortunesaround with a 5-wood from about275 yards that set up a short eagleputt. He added three more birdieson the back nine and had a 70, leav-ing him only four shots out of thelead going into the weekend.

“Anything under par today wasgoing to be a good score,” McIlroysaid.

The hole locations were severe inspots, with one pin tucked on top ofa mound toward the front of thefifth green. The par 5s played intoan opposite wind on the back nine,and they were not easy to reach.Furyk got home in two on the 15thhole Thursday with a hybrid. Heused that same club to lay up onFriday.

Such tough conditions made theperformance of Guan that muchmore impressive. He had arespectable 75, which included the

one-shot penalty.And for the longest time, it looked

as though it might be costly.Guan, playing with Matteo

Manassero and Ben Crenshaw, wasinformed his group was out of posi-tion as it left the 10th green. Theywere on the clock on the 12th hole,meaning players would be timed tomake sure they hit their shots with-in the 40-second limit. The teen gothis first bad time with his secondshot on the 13th hole, and it wasclear he was in trouble after hisshot into the 17th when JohnParamor, chief referee in Europe,walked out to speak to him.

“You give him the news, the bestyou can,” Paramor said.

Fred Ridley, the head of competi-tion at the Masters, did not say howlong Guan took to hit his secondshot on the 17th, only that it was a“considerable margin” over histime. Guan still managed to makepar on the 17th, and if he was shak-en by the news so late in the round,it didn’t show. He made one last parand was at 4-over 148.

His game is well beyond his years,and so was his attitude over the firstslow-play penalty in a major sinceGregory Bourdy in the 2010 PGAChampionship.

“I respect the decision theymake,” said Guan, who spent nearly90 minutes talking with officialsafter the round. “They should do itbecause it’s fair to everybody.”

The penalty looked ominousbecause Dustin Johnson was run-ning off birdies every way imagina-ble, the only player to reach 7-underpar in nasty conditions. His roundimploded, however, when he playedthe final five holes in 6-over par.That included a double bogey on the15th when he hit his third shot intothe water. He had a 76 and plungeddown the leaderboard, though hewas still only five shots behind.

Furyk also hit into the water onthe 15th with a wedge he chunked sobadly that it didn’t make it halfwayacross the pond. Scott made histhird straight bogey at No. 5, butthat was the last mistake he made.He answered with three birdies therest of the way.

Day’s 68 was the lowest score ofthe round, with conditions so trickythat only five players broke 70.

“It just feels like every shot is thebiggest shot you’ve ever hit in yourlife out there,” Day said. “It’s really,really difficult. I’m just glad to be inthe clubhouse right now.”

One player who didn’t recover wasSergio Garcia, who opened with a66. One day after six birdies and nobogeys, he had four bogeys and nobirdies. One day after he saw somany shots go where he was aim-ing, he couldn’t cope with the wind.

“I hit the ball better today and wasI was 10 shots worse,” Garcia saidafter a 76 that put him in the groupat 2-under with McIlroy, formerMasters champion Charl Schwartzeland 55-year-old Bernhard Langer.“But even with everything that hap-pened today, we still are in a decentposition to hopefully do somethingon the weekend.”

That weekend will include defend-ing champion Bubba Watson, whowill play with a marker in the firstgroup Saturday morning, and PhilMickelson, who shot 40 on the backnine and had a 76 that left him nineshots out of the lead.

And it will include an eighth-grad-er who is assured of winning thesterling silver cup as the low ama-teur. He was the only amateur tomake the cut, penalty shot and all.

LARAMIE (AP) — He is anEnglish major who will getsome journalism experiencethis summer and has aspira-tions to be a screenwriter.

His teammates regard himas one of the funniest guys onthe team.

That is Keenan Montgomeryin a nutshell, but theUniversity of Wyoming juniorreceiver wants more — as inbeing more of a contributor tothe 2013 Cowboys footballteam.

The 6-foot-1, 180-pound walk-on from St. Paul, Minn., is offto a good start during springdrills. In the Cowboys’ one-hour scrimmage last Friday,he caught a team-best eightpasses for 117 yards.Montgomery caught just onepass for 11 yards in UW’s firstmajor scrimmage Wednesday.

Montgomery is part of adeep and talented group ofreceivers that returns all butone player who caught at leastone pass last season. Fourteen

different players have caughtpasses in the team’s first twoscrimmages this spring.

“We all are in it together,”Montgomery said. “Whoeveris going to be the face of thegroup, let them be the face.But we all are trying to con-tribute together to get a win.That’s really all we want.”

Montgomery’s first playingtime at UW came in 2011 onspecial teams, where he hadthree unassisted tackles. Lastseason, he caught two passesfor 18 yards, both in a 28-27home loss to Air Force andfrom true freshman quarter-back Jason Thompson, whomade his first-ever start forthe injured Brett Smith.

Those two have connected alot this spring.

“He just runs great routesand finds some holes so I canget him the ball,” Thompsontells the Wyoming TribuneEagle. “Keenan just knowswhere I want the ball to be,and he knows where to go.”

Added Montgomery: “We’vebeen on the same page theselast few months. I have beengetting open, he has been see-ing me, and it has worked out.We got on the field at aboutthe same time last year andhave been on the same learn-ing curve.”

Although Montgomery hasnot been a major target forSmith, he sees a lot of abilityin Montgomery.

“He is an athlete, first andforemost,” Smith said. “He cancatch the ball, and on a per-sonal note, he is committed.He has got a great work ethicand works extremely hard,and has since I first met him.”

Montgomery is a two-timeAll-Mountain West AcademicAll-Conference selection andsaid he will do an internshipthis summer with the LaramieBoomerang.

And as far as his sense ofhumor: “He has got hilariousjokes and (is) so sarcastic allthe time,” Smith said.

Tebow vows ‘great attitude’ at Jets workoutsPONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — New

York Jets backup quarterback Tim Tebow plansto report for offseason workouts Monday with a“great attitude.”

Speaking at his annual charity event in hishometown Friday night, Tebow offered littleinsight into his feelings about the Jets signingquarterback David Garrard or about the ram-pant speculation that his time in New Yorkmight be ending after one disappointing andunproductive season.

“It’s nothing I can control, and like I’ve saidever since I was at Nease High School, I reallytry not to worry about what I can’t control,”Tebow said. “Just try to have the best attitude,have the best effort, a great work ethic, and sofar this offseason has been a lot of fun. Beenmy best yet.”

Tebow ran for just 102 yards last season, com-pleted 6 of 8 passes for 39 yards and scored zerotouchdowns after being acquired in a 2012 tradefrom Denver.

Tebow went from being considered a key partof the offense to almost non-existent. Offensive

coordinator Tony Sparano didn’t know how touse him effectively, and Tebow wasn’t particu-larly productive when he got his few snaps inthe wildcat-style formation. He made hisbiggest mark on special teams as the personalpunt protector, and did all he could to hide hisfrustration at not playing. The popular andpolarizing player didn’t get even get a chancewhen starter Mark Sanchez was benched forthe first time in his career. Instead of goingwith Tebow, the No. 2 quarterback on the depthchart, Ryan went with third-stringer GregMcElroy. Acquiring Tebow ultimately led togeneral manager Mike Tannenbaum andSparano losing their jobs. And the one failedseason clouded Tebow’s NFL prospects. No mat-ter what, though, he insists he’s a quarterback.

“It’s always been my dream, always will be,”Tebow said, essentially nixing any thoughtsabout switching to tight end, fullback or safety.

After the Tim Tebow Foundation CelebrityGala & Golf Classic at TPC Sawgrass, Tebowwill return to New York and join his teammatesfor offseason conditioning.

Busch brothers starting 1-2 in TexasFORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Move over,

brother.The Busch brothers will start on the front

row for the second time in the NASCARSprint Cup Series after younger brotherKyle set a Texas qualifying record with alap of 196.299 mph Friday night. Thatknocked Kurt off the pole, but not off thefront row for Saturday night’s race.

“Not too shabby of a day. ... I feel like wehave a good piece for the race,” Kyle Buschsaid. “It felt that good. Sometimes you feelthat good and it’s not very fast.”

Kyle Busch went almost immediatelyfrom the Cup qualifying run in his JoeGibbs Racing Toyota to climbing into hisNationwide car and starting second in thatrace.

It took that record qualifying lap by Kyleto knock Kurt Busch off the pole after hislap of 195.688 mph in his Chevrolet.

“A track record is a small feather in thecap,” Kurt Busch said. “The fact that it’sKyle, I wouldn’t want to lose to anybodyother than him, but it is bitter that I didlose to him.”

Series points leader Jimmie Johnson,who won at Texas last fall, starts seventhafter a lap of 194.503 mph in his Chevrolet.Richard Petty teammates Aric Almirolaand Marcos Ambrose start their Fords inthe second row.

Greg Biffle, who won at Texas last April,

qualified 35th in his Ford after a lap of190.921 mph.

“I was kind of tight in the middle of(turns) three and four and had to come outof the gas,” Biffle said. “I had a really, real-ly fast car, but we’ll have to come from theback. It will be all right.”

The only time the Busch brothers startedon the front row together was at Las Vegasin 2009, when Kyle also had the pole posi-tion and won that race. Kurt finished 23rdthat day.

They have never finished 1-2 in a SprintCup race, but they came close at Texas.

Kurt Busch won the 2009 fall race atTexas, a weekend when Kyle was trying towin all three of NASCAR’s national serieson the same weekend. Kyle ran out of fuellate and finished 11th.

“The two of us had the fastest two cars,”Kurt Busch said.

Kyle Busch has his second Cup pole thisseason, and the first in his career at Texas.Kurt Busch’s best qualifying spot this sea-son had been 10th at California, though hehas two top-five finishes this season in theNo. 78 owned by Barney Visser.

“Real happy with the way the carunloaded right off the truck,” Kurt Buschsaid. “For us to be second, outside pole, it’sa great achievement from where we hadbeen in a few weeks past for qualifying.”

Greinke expected to miss eight weeksPHOENIX (AP) — Los Angeles

Dodgers pitcher Zack Greinke will needsurgery to repair his broken collarboneand is expected to miss eight weeks.

Greinke was hurt Thursday night in abench-clearing brawl with the Padresthat started when San Diego sluggerCarlos Quentin charged the moundafter he was hit on the arm by a pitch.

The Dodgers said Greinke was exam-ined Friday by Dr. Neal ElAttrache inLos Angeles and had a CT scan.ElAttrache and Dr. John Itamura willoperate Saturday at White MemorialHospital in Los Angeles to place a rod inthe clavicle to stabilize and align thefracture.

Speaking to reporters before his teamplayed Arizona on Friday night,Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said hewasn’t surprised by the extent ofGreinke’s injury.

“We knew last night, for the mostpart, that it was going to be extended,”he said. “It’s unfortunate.”

Greinke, the 2009 AL Cy Young Awardwinner, signed a $147 million, six-yearcontract with the Dodgers during theoffseason.

Ted Lilly and Chris Capuano are thecandidates to take Greinke’s next sched-uled start on Tuesday against thePadres in Los Angeles.

Lilly has been on the 15-day disabledlist since March 28 and was slated tothrow a bullpen session Friday.Capuano, now in the Dodgers’ bullpen,is a former starter.

Los Angeles placed Greinke on the 15-day disabled list and recalled right-handed reliever Shawn Tolleson fromthe minors to take the roster spot.

Mattingly, far calmer than he was inthe heated aftermath of the fight, saidhe will wait to see the outcome ofLilly’s bullpen session before making adecision on a replacement for Greinke.

“We still have a few days to make adecision,” he said. “We don’t have toannounce a starter. For another day, Ican avoid you.”

Quentin was suspended eight gamesand Dodgers infielder Jerry Hairston Jr.one game by Major League Baseball onFriday night for their roles in the brawl.

After the teams had started headingback to their benches and bullpens,Hairston went running across the fieldyelling and pointing at someone in thePadres’ dugout and had to berestrained. That led to more pushingand shoving, and nearly a second melee.

Hairston claimed a Padres player —whom he wouldn’t name — was makingfun of the fact that Greinke had beeninjured.

DEAR ABBYPauline Phillips and Jeanne Phillips

A record number of NorthAmericans -- nearly 15 mil-lion -- are cancer survivors.Earlier and better screeningsand advanced treatmentoptions are a huge reason somany folks can say, "I beatcancer!" If you're among thisnumber, it's important toknow that thriving after youtriumph over cancer is muchmore certain if you and yourdoctor create a new owner'smanual for YOU. We're talk-ing about a tailor-made, long-range health plan.Unfortunately, few survivorsare adopting these life-extending road maps, eventhough everyone who's beatcancer needs one, accordingto the Institute of Medicine.

Why is it so important?How you live day-to-day cando a lot to protect you fromrecurrence of your cancer ordevelopment of a second can-cer. It also can help you avoidthe health problems that cancome in the aftermath ofeffective anti-cancer treat-ment. For example, a newEuropean study followed2,168 breast-cancer survivorsfor up to 42 years and foundthat radiation treatmentsincreased their risk for heartattacks. But living each dayin a way that reduces the riskcan make a big difference!

So here are the five must-know facts about establishingyour cancer survivorshipplan:

No. 1: They're for everyonewho's had a cancer diagnosis.Many cancer-treatment cen-ters and even some insuranceplans help new survivors andtheir doctors write a plan.But you can look into devel-

oping one even if your can-cer is way in your past --whether you're a survivor ofan adult cancer or had cancerin childhood. One greatresource:

JourneyForward.org, anonline program fromNational Coalition for CancerSurvivorship and theUniversity of California LosAngeles Cancer SurvivorshipCenter, can help you and yourdoctor build a tailor-madeplan for a long and healthyfuture.

No. 2: The foundation ofthe plan is a healthy lifestyle.Quitting smoking, makingsmart choices at mealtimeand getting regular physicalactivity could lower your riskfor recurrence of many typesof cancer. Your goal is toavoid eating anything thatincreases bodywide inflam-mation, like added sugar andsugar syrups, saturated-fat-laden red meats or any grainbut 100 percent whole grains.Your activity plan: With yourdoc's OK, aim to walk 10,000steps a day; after month two,add 30 minutes of resistanceexercise; after month two,add 20 minutes of cardiothree times a week, Addedbenefit: Smart living (andmaintaining a healthyweight) can lower your riskfor heart disease, stroke, highblood pressure, diabetes, brit-tle bones and arthritis.

No. 3: You need the facts.Make sure you are well-informed about the type ofcancer you've survived; haveall the details about yourtreatments and their poten-tial health consequences, andabout the follow-ups you

need. Ask about symptomsyou should watch for andwho you should contact ifyou notice any. Your doctorand oncologist can help youwith this.

No. 4: Reducing stress pro-tects your future. Stresspumps up adrenal hormonessuch as cortisol; when levelsare chronically high, youincrease your risk of every-thing from heart disease todepression -- and the newestinsights suggest that stressalso may increase your riskfor cancer recurrence.Joining a support group cando a lot to dispel anxietyabout what you've beenthrough and where you'reheaded. Also, learning sooth-ing relaxation techniques,like mindfulness meditationor progressive muscle relax-ation, can help ease stress.

No. 5: Get experts on yourteam. If you're wonderingwhether your treatments areaffecting your health or whatyour specific risks may be,consider reaching out to anexpert in this new field ofhealth care. More and morecancer centers have clinicsthat specialize in long-termcare for cancer survivors.You can find one through theNational Coalition for CancerSurvivorship (www.cancerad-vocacy.org). At Dr. Mike'sCleveland Clinic, the High-Five Cancer Survivor's Clinicserves the survivors of child-hood and young-adult can-cers. It's called that becausewe think every survivordeserves a high-five and thechance to thrive.

TEEN RESISTS CON-FORMING TO ADULTS'EXPECTATIONS

DEAR ABBY: I'm a 14-year-old girl. I don't understandwhy adults tell me to be an

independent thinker, toembrace myself, and then putme down for not conforming.Why is it outrageous to cometo your own conclusions,speculate, challenge accepted

ideas or find your own faith?It would be easier to quietlynod an empty head and smileto please our parents and theadults who influence kids, sothey can enjoy superficialsatisfaction for how "well"they have raised us.

Should I deny myself as anindividual and be pulledalong, or is it better to stayquiet and just be who every-one expects you to be? --INDEPENDENT THINKERIN FLORIDA

DEAR INDEPENDENTTHINKER: Independentthinkers are the people whohave contributed the most tosociety. Our most importantscientific discoveries wereconceived by individuals whochose not to accept conven-tional thinking. The same istrue for religion -- Jesus wasan independent thinker.

I'm not sure what kind ofconversation you feel theadults in your life are tryingto discourage. But peoplewho are deeply committed totheir religious faith can feeloffended or threatened iftheir beliefs are challenged.Even though you are an inde-pendent thinker, you shouldbe respectful of the beliefs ofothers.

DEAR ABBY: Around thetime of my sister's wedding,she and her fiance, "Greg,"tried to get me and their bestman, "Bruce," together. Theybrought him along when theywould visit and encouragedus to date. Not long after thewedding we did start dating.

Bruce is a great guy and Ienjoy being with him. Myproblem is, he's my brother-in-law's nephew even thoughthey are close in age. (Bruce'smom is Greg's half sister.)

Am I dating a family mem-ber? Are we committingincest? Should we end thisrelationship? I don't knowwhat is "right." -- WEIRDEDOUT IN WISCONSIN

DEAR WEIRDED OUT:Bruce is not a blood relative;he is related to you by mar-riage. That is not the same asincest. If you care about eachother, the right thing to do iscontinue the relationshipand see where it leads. "Greatguys" can make great hus-bands.

Hints from Heloise Heloise

Highly Efficient, But Stinky,Too!

Dear Heloise: The store-bought product for cleaningHIGH-EFFICIENCY WASHINGMACHINES, due to odor, isquite expensive and needs to beused regularly. Is there a less-expensive way to accomplishthis? -- Carol in Royal PalmBeach, Fla.

Yes, there is! Many readerscomplain about the odor thathigh-efficiency washers tend tohave. You would think that anew appliance would have allthe kinks worked out. But itseems not so with these wash-ers.

These cleaners cost around$10, and depending how oftenyou have to use them, it can re-ally add up. But here are somehints to help prevent that grosssmell in the first place.

The smell usually is comingfrom the gasket around thewasher's door. When you washclothes, the door must be air-tight. Water can remain insidethe gasket, and since there isno fresh air, the machinesmells like mildew! So, to keepthis from happening, prop thedoor open when done with

laundry so thewater can evapo-rate. Also, use acloth to wipe outthe water left in thegasket.

Some machineshave a "clean washer/refresh"cycle feature that should cor-rect the problem as well.

Another thing to try is vine-gar! Dip a paper towel in vine-gar and wipe the gasket acouple of times. The vinegarwon't harm the gasket. Let itdry, and prop the door open.Vinegar is a staple that everyhousehold should have on thepantry shelf. Its uses are practi-cally endless. I have put to-gether a pamphlet that includesmany uses for vinegar aroundthe house. This will save youmoney, because you can usevinegar instead of other costlycleaners. To get the pamphlet,just send $5 and a long, self-ad-dressed, stamped (66 cents) en-velope to: Heloise/Vinegar,P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio,TX 78279-5001. Vinegar also is agood deodorizer. Use it to de-odorize the microwave, refrig-erator shelves, lunchbox andeven sponges. -- Heloise

PET PALDear Readers: Carol Star, via

email, sent in a photo of herdog Bella, who likes lying inthe garden in the middle of theSwiss chard. To see the photo ofBella in the garden, visitwww.Heloise.com and click on"Pets." -- Heloise

FAVORITE RECIPE HINTDear Heloise: I am always

finding new recipes on the In-ternet. Most recipes print outlarge and on several pages. Ibring up the recipe, highlight,copy and paste to my word-pro-cessing program. I edit therecipe to my own fonts andsize, and remove the extrawording and information Idon't need. I make the recipesas small or as large as neededso that they will fit into myrecipe file or cookbook. -- JudyMarik, Mantua, Ohio

PERFORATED TISSUE TOPDear Heloise: I've discovered

that the perforated tops of tis-sue boxes make wonderfulbookmarks. I read your columnevery day and enjoy it verymuch. -- Alice Cox, Washougal,Wash.

Bridge Phillip Alder

IF THEY STOP, YOUOFTEN ENTER

Gary Ryan Blair, a mo-tivational speaker andauthor, said, "Opportu-nities are easily lostwhile waiting for perfectconditions."

At the bridge table,you will not always havethe perfect hand for agiven call. You mustplay the percentages. If acall will probably win,go with it. But remem-ber that nothing worksall of the time.

This applies when youare balancing with aweak hand. You knowpartner must have somepoints; otherwise, theopponents would havebid higher. In this situa-tion, first wonder whatthe opponents mighthave missed. In particu-lar, if you are short in anunbid major, be particu-larly cautious. Some-

times a passwill be less ex-pensive than abid.

In this deal,look at theNorth hand.

East's one-spade openingis passed around to you.What would you do?

It is quite likely thatSouth has a strong handwith spade length that isnot suitable for a one-no-trump overcall. (Per-haps it is not strongenough, or is too unbal-anced.) So, you coulddouble. But your defenseis not good -- your handhas better offensive po-tential. And since it isunlikely that the oppo-nents have missed amakable four-heart con-tract, you should bal-ance with two diamonds.

Here, partner willgnash his teeth andjump to three no-trump.

West leads his spade.

What should South do?He has eight top tricks:

two spades (given thelead), two hearts, threediamonds and one club.He can get home if ei-ther red suit breaks 3-3.After winning the firsttrick, he should playthree rounds of hearts.Here, that works nicely.

The question comes up as to what combi-nation of plants will work together. Afterdetermining, which plants will grow inyour area, and the type of soil, and avail-

ability of water, the next determination is try-ing to mix plants that have similar soil andwater needs. It generally does not work verywell to have a water loving plant mixed in witha plant that prefers a dryer site. Usually one orthe other will not do very well.

With any landscaping design, the eye of thebeholder is what is most important. Preferenceof colors or themes will narrow the search ofplants that will perform best. Usually mixinglight and dark colors along with taller plantswith smaller plants will be the main theme,but not always. In Wyoming, mixing plantsthat will do well with limited water and heavysoils with a high alkalinity will have the leastmaintenance requirements.

In looking at low maintenance, hardy plantsthat should do well in most Wyoming locations,let’s look at some possible combinations. sun-set hyssop “agastache rupestris” is a 20- inchhigh by 10-inch wide orange colored flowersthat is a very hardy native plant. Add someCoral Canyon twinspur, a pink flowered hardyplant from South Africa that is 15-inches talland 12-inches wide. Next mix the bright yellowflowers of the chocolate flower “berlandieralyrata” which is in the range of 10- to 20 inchestall and wide and is one plant that does verywell with the low water and poor soils of the

southwest U.S. The last one inthis combination is the orangecarpet humminbird trumpetplant, which is a low growing4-inch high and 20-inch widetough plant with orange trum-pet flowers. This combinationreally attracts the bees andbutterflies and would work inthose hard to water, full sundry areas.

For a taller combinationwhich would prefer moderateto drier watering conditions,try mixing prairie jewel pen-

stemon “penstemon grandiflorus,” bridges'penstemon, “penstemon rostriflorus,” RedRocks penstemon and Pikes Peak purple pen-stemon “penstemon x mexicali” and “penste-mon x mexicali,” Shadow Mountain penste-mon “Penstemon x mexicali Psmyers;” andDenver gold columbine “Aquilegia chrysan-tha.” This combination of blue, reds and yel-lows will really look good for a taller 20- to 30-inch height garden.

Another combination to consider would be;baby blue rabbitbrush, “chrysothamnus (eri-cameria) nauseosus var.” Nauseosus is a nativeplant, 16- to 28-inches tall by 20 to 30 incheswide. It has yellow flowers with bluish coloredfoliage. sea foam artemisia “artemisia versicol-or. “Sea Foam” has grey colored foliage, whiteflowers and mounds wonderfully at 6- to 12 -

nches high and 16- to 30-inches wide. Winecups“callirhoe involucrata” is a low growing 6-inches high, and 20- to 30-inch spreadingground cover with purple flowers. Cashmeresage “phlomis cashmeriana” is a tall 36- to 60 -inches high, and 18- to 30-inch wide plant withpurple flowers. This combination has that greylook and quite a complement of diverse shapesand textures which will do well in poor soilsand low water needs.

By adding some large native rocks along withsmall native rock mulch any of these combina-tions will look great and use very little addi-tional water once they are established andshould look good and be very low maintenancefor a long time. Of course, there are manyother plants and combinations to choose frombut this will get those creative thoughts goingto plan for those tough sites that need a littlehelp.

Making your bed

If you’ve not made theswitch from an open gar-den area to raised bedsnow may be a good time

to give it some thought.A raised bed is simply a

bottomless box, set on theground and filled with loose,fertile soil. It is one of theeasiest garden projects to doyourself. Building one nowwill help you to get the jumpon the growing season sincethe boxed soil tends to warmup faster than that in therest of the garden.

• Use rot resistant woodsuch as cedar. Select 2-inch

thickplanks ofany width,remember-ing thatthe higherthe bed,the moresoil youwill need.

• Plankscan benailedtogether,but using

screws will ensure a stur-dier box.

• Fill with first-class top-soil amended with plenty oforganic matter, such as com-post, manure, leaf mold orpeat.

• Water regularly since araised bed tends to dry outquickly. Mulch to keep soilmoist and hold down weeds.

• For ready made kitscheck garden centers, cata-logs and on-line sites.

Raised beds can be as plainor elaborate as your imagi-nation can conjure and easymaintenance is a big plus.

FYI — Sunshine is thesecret to sweetness.Virtually all vegetables willtaste best harvested in theevening after a full day inthe sun.

Home Tips• Rust stains from metal

outdoor furniture can beremoved from concrete byusing lemon juice and rub-bing with a soft cloth.

• It is easy to read a raingauge if you put a few dropsof food coloring in the tube.Even if the colored waterdries up, there is enoughresidue to help read the nextrainfall.

• Get a piece of three-eighths-inch flexible tubing,slip it onto the top of thecaulking tube and tape it inplace. Now you’ve got acaulking tool that will bendand twist in the tightestspots.

Raised beds: neat, easy, and productiveBY MARTY ROSS

UNIVERSAL UCLICK

Put a pretty framearound your garden byplanting in a raised bed.Raised beds define a gar-den neatly and lend them-selves to easy, striking gar-den designs.

The simplest raised bedsinvolve just mounding soilup so it is higher than thelevel of the soil around it,but framing raised bedswith bricks, pavers or stan-dard lumber holds the soilin place and keeps the gar-den looking tidy, even inhigh summer.

Raised beds are typicallyonly three or four feet wideand eight to 12 feet long.They're just the right sizefor first-time gardeners ofall ages -- easy to manageand maintain, even for chil-dren planting their firstseeds or transplants. Theyappeal to experienced gar-deners because they over-come the problem of poorsoils -- you fill a raised bedwith a fertile combinationof soil and compost. Raisedbeds also can be planteddensely.

Raised beds are not a newconcept, but they havegrown in popularity inrecent years, especiallyamong vegetable gardeners.The soil in raised bedswarms up before the soil inthe ground, so crops can beplanted a little earlier in

the spring. Because theyare higher than the sur-rounding soil level, raisedbeds typically drain betterthan regular garden beds.

Raised beds are also easy totake care of: you'll still haveto bend over, but not as far,and because you never haveto walk on the soil, it does-

n't become compacted.Raised beds are also easy toweed and to keep lookingsharp.

Front-yard vegetable gar-

dens designed aroundraised beds can be verystylish indeed. My owncommunity garden plot inKansas City is on a city lotwith dozens of raised bedslaid out in a grid, leavingabout two feet between eachbed. It's a convivialarrangement: We all haveplenty of room to grow ourown crops or flowers in the4-by-12-foot plots, but we'reclose enough together tolearn from each other as wecompare gardening tech-niques. Because we're allpart-time gardeners, weappreciate having a gardenthat's not too big. But I havelearned not to underesti-mate the possibilities: Myplot produced an impres-sive salad garden in springand then a summer's supplyof tomatoes, peppers, basiland zinnias. I had lots ofproduce to share withfriends and neighbors.

Arrangements of raisedbeds may be the shape ofthings to come in the frontyard. When you design awhole garden of raisedbeds, keep simple shapes inmind. The easiest beds tomaintain are square or rec-tangular, no wider thanfour feet across, and acces-sible from both sides.Parallel beds along a gar-den path and foursquareplans bisected by widepaths are easy to lay outand look effortlessly great,right away.

PHOTO COURTESY UNIVERSAL UCLICK

Coated steel panels can be put together in several configurations to fit almost any garden. Theindustrial-chic material looks great in city gardens and does not require any tools to put togetherinto raised beds. These panels are 15 inches tall.
