B1 Press 23-year-old Sheridan woman dies in car accident Fires in northwest Wyo. grow; more people evacuate CHEYENNE (AP) — A large wildfire burning out of control in the Shoshone National Forest in northwest Wyoming forced the evacuations of hundreds of people and prompted fire managers to bring in more firefighters and other resources, including a Wyoming National Guard unit. The fire west of Dubois has burned nearly 11 square miles (28.49 sq. kilometers) and is threatening about 290 seasonal homes and guest ranches in the area. No structures have been lost so far, but Wyoming state forester Bill Crapser said about 900 people have been evacuated. One summer youth camp accounted for about 200 people alone, Crapser said. Gov. Matt Mead activated a National Guard medivac helicopter and its crew to assist if needed. In addition, more specialized firefighters and large air tankers were added to the fight. “More homes are being threatened, more people are being evacuated, and the threat and projected movement of the fire is such that the landowner, the Forest Service, has decided that it’s time to bring in the national type 1 team,” fire spokesman Nick Mickel said. The rough terrain, the dry fuels and windy weather make the fire particularly difficult to battle, Crapser said. “It’s been a really hard fire for them to be able to put crews in to get any type of containment of the fire,” he said. Firefighters have yet to gain any containment on the fire, which was started July 11 by lightning. In neighboring Bridger-Teton National Forest, a fire has grown to 26 square miles (67.34 sq. kilometers) and is about 10 percent contained. Two smaller fires are burning in the Bighorn National Forest. One that has burned about four square miles northeast of Ten Sleep was started last Friday by a hot brake lining that broke off from a passing vehicle, according to fire officials. FROM STAFF REPORTS JUSTIN SHEELY | THE SHERIDAN PRESS SHERIDAN — The Big Horn County coroner in Montana confirmed Wednesday morning that 23-year-old Anna Rowland died Tuesday in a rollover accident on Decker Highway. The coroner, Terry Bullis, said Rowland died in the accident that occurred about 8.5 miles north of the WyomingMontana border on Highway 314 near Decker, Montana. Decker Highway, known as Highway 338 in Wyoming changes to Highway 314 at the state line. Sheridan County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrived on scene first. Lt. Allen Thompson with the SCSO said two people were involved in the crash and the 22-year-old male believed to be the driver said he had driven off the roadway and over corrected when he lost control of the vehicle. No additional details were available on the cause of the crash and the incident is being investigated by the Big Horn County Sheriff’s Office in Montana and the Montana Highway Patrol.

USFS: Fire restrictions go into effect Friday morning FROM STAFF REPORTS BIGHORN MOUNTAINS — Fire crews working to suppress the Hatchery and Arden fires in the Bighorn Mountains continue to make progress on the fires’ containment levels. Meanwhile, due to the extreme dryness of fuels in the Bighorn National Forest, officials will implement fire restrictions beginning at 12:01 a.m. Friday and are bringing in additional crews to be on standby until moisture levels increase or the fire danger decreases. Susie Douglas, public affairs specialist with the Bighorn National Forest, said Wednesday morn- ing that fire restrictions mean no campfires will be allowed outside of developed recreation sites with campfire rings. In addition, restrictions will be placed on operating equipment such as chainsaws, welders and torches. Smoking on the forest will also be restricted to areas cleared of brush for a 3-foot radius, Douglas said on Wednesday morning. Additional engine crews are also being prepositioned on the forest, Douglas said, in order to enhance firefighters’ initial attack capabilities in the case of a new fire. SEE FIRES, PAGE 7 NWCCD in talks for economic recovery BY MIKE DUNN MIKE.DUNN@THESHERIDANPRESS.COM SHERIDAN — The Northern Wyoming Community College District is currently participating in ongoing discussions with other regional, state and federal officials to provide relief and solve economic problems facing the state. While the discussions will likely result in grants for displaced energy-sector workers, Sheridan College officials said that is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to reviving the economic climate in the state. The coalition includes representatives from seven different counties in northeastern Wyoming, including individuals from local economic development groups, the Wyoming Business Council, U.S. Department of Agriculture, the U.S. Economic Development Administration, NWCCD, Eastern Wyoming College and the Wyoming Department of Workforce Services. “I think it’s fantastic that you have these organizations getting together to develop plans to help dislocated workers get employment and to help industry by getting these workers the skills they need to expand,” said Dr. Susan Bigelow, NWCCD vice president for external relations and economic develop- Scan with your smartphone for latest weather, news and sports ment. Bigelow has been one of the representatives for NWCCD in these discussions. The group was asked to put together a sole regional narrative to provide solutions and projects addressing economic issues in the state. From the college’s perspective, Bigelow said, the primary goal is to work with the Wyoming Department of Workforce Services to provide funds from the U.S. Department of Labor for displaced workers in the energy industry. The funding would pay for training in other industries. Fishing derby to be held at Rotary Park Pond BY KRISTIN MAGNUSSON NEWS@THESHERIDANPRESS.COM RANCHESTER — The Rotary Park Pond in Ranchester is alive with wildlife. Fish, large and small, are visible from the shore and dock; frogs hop into the water as you walk past; and even a turtle swims in to get a closer look. Kids will get to take all of that in when they partake in a fishing derby from 8-10 a.m. on Aug. 6. According to Rotary Cub member Robert Allen, the Rotary Pond Fishing Derby has been held annually for the past 18 years. Local children between the ages of four and 13 come out to fish and receive prizes. Fifty children are allowed to participate, and usually about 30 or so show up. “About 20 years ago, the fishing derby started during Ranchester Days,” Allen explained. “It went for about three or four years, and then stopped because Ranchester quit having the festival.

Dozens of chemicals, some of them hazardous to human health and the environment, are used as part of the process technically known as hydraulic fracturing, in which millions of gallons of fluid are pumped deep underground to release oil and gas trapped in shale or other rock formations. A 2011 state rule allows companies to conceal from public scrutiny any chemicals they consider to be trade secrets. Officials can request the full ingredients list in the event of a spill or release of the fluids. The rule also allows medical professionals to request the information for diagnosis or emergency treatment because of chemical exposure. But critics say the trade-secrets exception represents an unlawful loophole, violating the public’s right to know about chemicals that can contaminate groundwater and pollute the air. The oil and gas industry is set to oppose any rule change. Tuesday’s legal petition, from a coalition represented by the environmental law firm Earthjustice, asks the Montana Board of Oil and Gas Conservation to tighten its rules. The coalition includes several property owners, health advocates, the Montana Environmental Information Center and Natural Resources Defense Council. Earthjustice attorney Katherine O’Brien says companies should have to justify any fracking ingredients withheld, as is done in Wyoming. Also, disclosures should be made before drilling starts instead of after it’s completed, she said. “It’s important for people who are living and farming and ranching near fracking operations to understand what chemicals they are being exposed to right now. It doesn’t necessarily take a spill to pose a health risk,” O’Brien said. “There’s really no reason Montana deserves less access than their neighbors in Wyoming.” Oil and gas board Administrator Jim Halvorson said the 2011 rule was crafted to conform with state and federal laws allowing companies to keep confidential proprietary information about what’s in their fracking fluids. for rulemaking and make a decision after that’s been done.” The matter is likely to come up at the board’s Aug. 11 work meeting, Halvorson added. State law gives the board 60 days to either reject the request or begin a new rule-making process. Alan Olson, executive director of the Montana Petroleum and a former Republican state senator from Roundup, said the public should not have access to any company trade secrets. Even disclosing such information to regulators would be a concern, he said, because of Montana’s strong open-records laws. “There’s some concerns about the (oil and Katherine O’Brien gas) board’s ability to keep a trade secret,” Earthjustice attorney Olson said He added that some fracking chemicals once considered proprietary are now rou“The board felt that its proposed rule tinely disclosed, because their patents have was adequate at the time it was adoptexpired and third-party companies have ed,” he said. “We’ll review the petition come up with similar products. ‘There’s really no reason Montana deserves less access than their neighbors in Wyoming.’ Tribal official goes to trial over contaminated water probe HELENA, Mont. (AP) — The former head of the Chippewa Cree Tribe’s water resource department went on trial Monday on charges that he lied to federal authorities investigating a contaminated drinking water tank used by dozens of homes on the Rocky Boy Indian Reservation. Jonathan Jay Eagleman has pleaded not guilty to making false statements to a federal agency and demanded a jury trial, which got underway Monday in U.S. District Court in Great Falls with jury selection and opening arguments. On Aug. 30, 2012, two workers for the tribe’s water department found the hatch of a water tank that feeds 35 homes had been broken into, according to federal prosecutors. The workers found cow feces, wooden boards and concrete had been thrown into the water. The operator of a public water system that has been contaminated must immediately notify the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The workers told their boss, who told Eagleman, but the break-in was not reported, prosecutors said. The tank was shut down, but the water was not purged and remained in the system for 25 days. Only when a resident of the reservation posted about the break-in and contamination on Facebook on Sept. 22, 2012, did Eagleman decide to report it to the EPA, prosecutors said. Eagleman told EPA and public health officials that the break-in was discovered on Sept. 24, and that workers had checked the tank three days before and it was secure, prosecutors said. Test results from samples of the water found it was positive for E. coli. It is unclear whether anybody who drank the water was sickened. “Based on false information and omissions provided by Eagleman to the EPA, possible impacts to human health were not properly evaluated consistent with the time frame the public was exposed to tainted drinking water,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Kris McLean wrote in a trial brief on the case. WEDNESDAY, JULY 27, 2016 www.thesheridanpress.com Judge: Reagan shooter can leave hospital to live in Virginia WASHINGTON (AP) — The man who attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan will be allowed to leave a Washington mental hospital and live full-time in Virginia, a judge has ruled. John Hinckley Jr. is ready to live in the community, Judge Paul L. Friedman ruled Wednesday, granting him full time convalescent leave that shall begin no sooner than Aug. 5. Friedman’s ruling comes more than 35 years after the March 30, 1981, shooting outside a Washington hotel in which Reagan and Hinckley three others were injured. Doctors have said for many years that the now 61-year-old Hinckley, who was found not guilty by reason of insanity in the shooting, is no longer plagued by the mental illness that drove him to shoot Reagan in an effort to impress actress Jodie Foster. Hinckley’s release from Washington’s St. Elizabeths hospital has been more than a decade in the making. In late 2003, the judge allowed Hinckley to begin leaving the hospital for day visits with his parents in the Washington area. In 2006, Hinckley began visiting his parents’ home in Williamsburg, Virginia, for three-night stretches. That time has increased over the years so that for more than the last year he has been allowed to spend 17 days a month at the home, which is in a gated community and overlooks a golf course. Reagan himself died in 2004 at the age of 93. While outside the hospital, Hinckley has had to comply with a series of restrictions, and a number of those will continue now that he will be living full time in the community. He will have to attend individual and group therapy sessions and is barred from talking to the media. He can drive, but there are restrictions on how far he can travel. The Secret Service also periodically follows him. Despite the restrictions, life in Williamsburg will likely be busy for Hinckley. According to court records and testimony at a recent court hearing on the issue of his release, he has spent time volunteering at a church as well as a local mental hospital. He has attended meetings for people living with mental illness, talks at a local art museum and concerts. His hobbies include painting and playing the guitar and he has recently developed an interest in photography. He’s also indicated he’d like to get a full-time job and at one point went to Starbucks and Subway to talk about applying. “I don’t like flipping around the TV, I want to do things,” a court document quoted him saying. He also has said he wants to “fit in” and be “a good citizen.” THE SHERIDAN PRESS A3 Delivery problems? Call The Press at 672-2431.

NOTEBOOK | WEDNESDAY, JULY 27, 2016 QUOTABLE | FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS “Hillary Clinton must become the next president of the United States.” — Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, speaking to delegates on the opening night of the Democratic National Convention. “The rapper was upset, some- one not being able to perform. It wasn’t targeted, terrorist or gays, or anything like that. It wasn’t a black or white situation. It was an idiot.

Timothy Egan’s “Immortal Irishman: The Irish Revolutionary Who Became an American Hero” finally worked itself up to the top of the reading stack and it was quickly devoured. Thomas Francis Meagher’s life swept through three continents. He was born to Irish privilege and education and became a revolutionary against the English rule, banished to Tasmania. His fellow citizens either starved to death during the Irish famine or escaped to North America. He escaped from the penal colony, became active in New York politics and at the onset of the Civil War, helped organize the 69th regiment of New York. Meagher was at the lead of major battles, including Antietam and Fredericksburg, and should have been killed 10 times while facing withering Confederate fire as a general on horseback. Meagher survived but many of his contemporaries did not. He became acting governor of frontier Montana and his death, likely a murder, was never solved. It came at the hands of Montana vigilantes, essentially politicians who ruled with a noose and threats. Egan nimbly captures Meagher’s personality — he was a celebrity of the day, given to great oratory skills, enhanced by the bravery of his escape from Tasmania and the battlefield. Other historical questions are addressed: Irish repression, American slavery, the expansion of the West. Egan’s the best non-fiction writer in the country. It’s available from our Main Street bookseller, Sheridan Stationery, Books and Gallery. •••••• Brother-in-law Dan Bradley and his bride from long ago, Chris, stayed the week with us so they could visit family and attend a 40th class reunion of Sheridan High School. I always enjoy listening to reunion stories and observations. I’ve been to a few. At 10 years, there’s an “edge” about being successful. At 20, former objects of envy and sexual desire are no longer rendered recognizable — for the most part. At 30, there’s talk of children’s accomplishments. At 40, there’s discussion of surgeries and medical histories. After that, it’s talk of obituaries and survival and many classes pool together graduates in order to have a party. Reunions are fun. Vanity and problematic classmates are deemed to a friendlier history. You smile a lot, either in amusement or reminiscence. When the invite comes, go.

Even winning the nomination failed to improve his mood or personality. Winning has always been Trump’s endgame, so why wasn’t he happy? By contrast, there’s no reason to imagine that the first woman ever to be nominated to the presidency will maintain a grim expression as Trump did following his nomination. He obviously made a decision to forgo the victor’s grin and instead bear the countenance of a general about to enter war. Happy warrior isn’t in his repertoire. Whatever one’s political persuasion, objectively, the future belongs to the party that reflects the nation it aspires to lead. This would not be the party whose platform, though not binding, seeks to undo many of the rights — reproductive choice and same-sex marriage — that most Americans find acceptable. The math simply doesn’t support a viable Republican Party without a long period of reconstruction following the Trump demolition. This is true if Trump wins or loses.

Tim LaHaye, co-author of the “Left Behind” series, a multimillion-selling literary juggernaut that brought end-times prophecy into mainstream bookstores, died Monday. He was 90. LaHaye died in a San Diego, California, hospital, days after having suffered a stroke, according to his publicist Johnnie Moore. Co-authored with Jerry B. Jenkins, the 16-volume “Left Behind” series of novels published by Tyndale House Publishers sold more than 80 million copies worldwide, Moore said, and popularized a Bible interpretation that said born-again Christians will be instantly taken to God in the rapture, while those left behind on earth endure seven years of tribulation. LaHaye was a key figure in conservative political groups, encouraging the Rev. Jerry Falwell to create the Moral Majority, forming the Council for National Policy, a secretive strategy group for prominent political and religious conservatives, and, along with his wife, Beverly, starting Concerned Women for America in 1979, as an alternative to liberal feminist organizations. He was also a prolific nonfiction writer, writing more than 60 additional books, including the Christian sex manual “The Act of Marriage” and “The Battle for the Mind,” whose denunciations of secularism helped rouse the religious right. Born in 1926, LaHaye had a hardscrabble upbringing in Detroit, served in the Air Force at the end of World War II and graduated from Bob Jones University in Greenville, S.C., where he met his wife. He earned a midcareer doctorate at Western Seminary in Portland, Ore., and joined the Southern Baptist Convention. After leading churches in South Carolina and Minnesota, he moved to Southern California, and for a quarter-century led a thriving congregation that eventually became Shadow Mountain Community Church. After 1981, he devoted himself to writing, promoting his view of Bible prophecy, family life seminars and political activism. Some fellow conservative Christians pushed back against LaHaye’s end-times views, known as premillennial dispensationalism, emphasizing that the books were fictional and should not be read as an exact theological interpretation of the Bible. Still, his books strongly shaped evangelical views of Jesus’ Second Coming and popularized the ideas to the broader public. Jenkins called LaHaye a “spiritual giant.” Today’s Highlight in History: On July 27, 1996, terror struck the Atlanta Olympics as a pipe bomb exploded at Centennial Olympic Park, directly killing one person and injuring 111. (Antigovernment extremist Eric Rudolph later pleaded guilty to the bombing, exonerating security guard Richard Jewell, who had been wrongly suspected.) On this date: In 1789, President George Washington signed a measure establishing the Department of Foreign Affairs, forerunner of the Department of State. In 1866, Cyrus W. Field finished laying out the first successful underwater telegraph cable between North America and Europe (a previous cable in 1858 burned out after only a few weeks’ use). In 1921, Canadian researcher Frederick Banting and his assistant, Charles Best, succeeded in isolating the hormone insulin at the University of Toronto. In 1946, American author, poet and publisher Gertrude Stein, 72, died in Neuilly-surSeine, France. In 1953, the Korean War armistice was signed at Panmunjom, ending three years of fighting. In 1960, Vice President Richard M. Nixon was nominated for president on the first ballot at the Republican national convention in Chicago. In 1967, President Lyndon B. Johnson appointed the Kerner Commission to assess the causes of urban rioting, the same day black militant H. Rap Brown said in Washington that violence was “as American as cherry pie.” In 1974, the House Judiciary Committee voted 27-11 to adopt the first of three articles of impeachment against President Richard Nixon. In 1976, Air Force veteran Ray Brennan became the first person to die of so-called “Legionnaire’s Disease” following an American Legion convention in Philadelphia. In 1980, on day 267 of the Iranian hostage crisis, the deposed Shah of Iran died at a military hospital outside Cairo, Egypt, at age 60. In 1995, the Korean War Veterans Memorial was dedicated in Washington by President Bill Clinton and South Korean President Kim Young-sam. Ten years ago: Floyd Landis’ stunning Tour de France victory just four days earlier was thrown into doubt when he tested positive for high levels of testosterone during the race. (Landis was stripped of his title for doping.) Five years ago: A Russian space official (Vitaly Davydov) said that once the mammoth International Space Station was no longer needed, it would be sent into the Pacific Ocean. Julio Lugo scored from third base on a blown umpire’s call at the plate, giving the Atlanta Braves a post-midnight 4-3 win in 19 innings over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Ervin Santana pitched the first solo no-hitter for the Angels in nearly 27 years, striking out 10 and leading Los Angeles over Cleveland 3-1. One year ago: President Barack Obama, during a visit to Ethiopia, unleashed a blistering and belittling rebuke of Republican White House hopefuls, calling their attack on his landmark nuclear deal with Iran “ridiculous if it weren’t so sad.” The Boy Scouts of America ended its blanket ban on gay adult leaders while allowing church-sponsored Scout units to maintain the exclusion for religious reasons. Thought for Today: “We are always the same age inside.” — Gertrude Stein (1874-1946). WEDNESDAY, JULY 27, 2016 www.thesheridanpress.com THE SHERIDAN PRESS FIRES : Hatchery Fire continues to burn in rugged, steep terrain FROM 1 According to fire officials, the Arden Fire burning near Shell Reservoir and Adelaide Lake in the Bighorns has reached 65 percent containment at 544 acres. Two Hot Shot crews, one initial attack crew, two engines and one helicopter continue to battle the lightning caused fire that started July 19. Officials said there is minimal fire activity, but an area closure remains in effect. Firefighters continue to put in hard work on containing the Hatchery Fire, which is burning in rugged, steep terrain seven miles east-northeast of Ten Sleep. Officials said fire activity is limited to isolated areas of creeping and smoldering fire behavior within the interior. The Hatchery Fire is 60 percent contained and has burned 2,802 acres, with back firing operations contributing to the perimeter growth. On Monday, the Bighorn National Forest reduced the restricted area around the fire. Boulder Park Campground and Deer Haven Lodge, including the roads and facilities for the Lodge, are open. During the Hatchery Fire, fixed wing aircraft flew a total of 129.18 hours and dropped 68,347 gallons of retardant. Rotor wing aircraft flew 42.9 COURTESY GRAPHIC | flight hours and dropped 100,666 gallons on the Hatchery Fire. Firefighters came from as close as Ten Sleep and as far away as Pennsylvania and Oklahoma. The maximum number of personnel on the fire totaled 301. The Hatchery Fire perimeter stretched a total of 10.5 miles. Officials said they believe the fire was caused by overheating brakes. US: Fighting in Syrian city yields trove of IS intelligence BY ROBERT BURNS AP NATIONAL SECURITY WRITER WASHINGTON (AP) — A spokesman for the U.S.-led military coalition fighting the Islamic State group says an enormous amount of digital information has been obtained from IS locations in and around the Syrian city of Manbij. U.S.-backed rebels are locked in protracted fights there for control of that city. The spokesman, Col. Christopher Garver, says the intelligence is on portable data storage devices such as thumb drives. He says it amounts to more than four terabytes of digital information and sheds new light on how the Islamic State has used Manbij as a “strategic hub” for welcoming, training, indoctrinating and dispatching foreign fighters. Garver said it’s unclear how this trove of intelligence will affect the war. He spoke to reporters Wednesday at the Pentagon in a telephone interview from Baghdad. A7 As Fed ends meeting, few expect much clarity on next hike WASHINGTON (AP) — With consumers spending and employers hiring more freely, the U.S. economy has fared better of late. But when the Federal Reserve ends its latest policy meeting Wednesday, most analysts think it will signal that it wants to see further gains before raising interest rates again. The Fed is expected to issue a statement that acknowledges the strengthening economy without providing much clarity about when the next rate hike might occur. Still, some Fed-watchers say the wait may not be much longer. In the eight weeks between this week’s meeting and the next in September, the Fed will see a flurry of fresh economic data, including two monthly jobs reports. If the new figures show sustained improvement, September might be when the Fed decides to resume the rate increases it began in December. “If we get decent economic news between now and September, I think the odds are good that the Fed will move,” said David Jones, chief economist at DMJ Advisors. “It is still a data-dependent story, but I think the Fed will know enough by then to move.” Jones foresees two modest rate hikes this year, one in September, the other in December. And he said investors may not have to wait until September to know what the Fed is thinking. Jones suggested that Chair Janet Yellen may use her speech at the Federal Reserve’s annual late-summer conference in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to put investors on notice of a coming rate hike. A8 THE SHERIDAN PRESS www.thesheridanpress.com WEDNESDAY, JULY 27, 2016 Clinton campaign seeks to make most of Kaine’s Spanish ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — When Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine and Hillary Clinton made their debut as the Democratic presidential ticket, he proudly declared, “Hillary and I are soul mates in this struggle.” It was a message he delivered to the Miami crowd in Spanish. In the days after Kaine’s selection as Clinton’s running mate, much was made of his time working with Roman Catholic missionaries in Latin America as a young law student. Fluent in Spanish, the former mayor of Richmond and governor of Virginia moved easily between languages when he spoke at that first campaign event. But while some Latinos say there’s a practical value to Kaine’s skills, they add the days are gone when that alone is enough to win over Hispanic voters. “Words are fleeting and actions are what matter,” said Daniel Lopez, a 50-year-old security guard at a Mexican market in Santa Ana, California, who said he’s voting for Clinton because of her strong work ethic — not what languages she or her vice presidential pick may speak. Latinos make up about 17 percent of the nation’s population, and roughly half — 27.3 million — are eligible to vote in 2016. According to the Pew Hispanic Center, nearly 70 percent of Latinos say they speak only English at home or indicate they speak English “very well.” It was no accident that Kaine was introduced at an event in Miami, home to one of the nation’s largest Hispanic communities. While he joined Clinton for a joint interview with CBS’ “60 Minutes,” Kaine’s first solo television interview was with “Noticias Telemundo.” Marc Campos, a veteran campaign consultant in Houston, said Kaine’s appearances on Telemundo and its primary competitor, Univision, will help the campaign reach older Spanish-speaking Latinos who are more likely to vote. In cities such as Houston, local Spanishlanguage stations pull in ratings near their top English-language competitors. Campos said on such stations, Kaine could also reach relatively new U.S. citizens — or people living in the country illegally, who cannot vote but may be willing to volunteer. University of California, Berkeley political science professor Lisa García Bedolla said Kaine’s use of Spanish calls attention to his ability to connect on key issues that matter to Latinos. “He kept talking about fe, familia y trabajo (faith, family and work). He was very respectful and humble about what he learned,” she said. Kaine, who delivered the first speech on the Senate floor entirely in Spanish in 2013, is expected to help Clinton promote plans to push for a comprehensive overhaul to the nation’s immigration laws and connect with families who are living in fear of deportation. Beyond Florida, his language skills could be an asset for Clinton in the battleground states of Colorado, Nevada and Virginia. In picking Kaine, Clinton bypassed two Latinos on her short list: Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Julián Castro and Labor Secretary Tom Perez. That drew sharp criticism from some Latino academics and activists. “The superficial usage of Spanish by a white politician to appeal to the Latino vote, in addition to the Clinton campaign’s decision not to pick a Latino like Julián Castro for vice president, does reveal a long history of the Democratic Party taking the Latino community for granted,” said Jimmy C. Patino Jr., a University of Minnesota Chicano Studies professor. DERBY : Children ages 4 to 13 can enjoy fishing derby, win prizes FROM 1 “Two years later the community center asked me if I would get it started up again, so I have been putting this on for about 18 years now.” When the fishing derby first started, organizers entertained two age groups. Children ages 3 to 7 years old came out in the morning and then 8to 14-year-olds came out in the afternoon. Today, they have only one derby for ages 4 to 13. The community center in Dayton puts on the derby and Allen organizes it. He collects the donations and gifts, keeps track of the numbers and types of fish in the pond, and helps put signs up advertising the derby. He has been working with the town of Ranchester to clean out the algae and clear out some of the brush along the shore. The algae or moss along the shore makes it hard for kids to cast out far enough. The Wyoming Game and Fish Department stocks the pond with fish. The sunfish population was overpopulated, so they added predators such as bass and tiger muskie to help with the problem. Allen is afraid that the predators did their job too well because there don’t seem to be enough sunfish left in the pond. “I’m hoping that the sunfish are still here because the kids go nuts over them,” Allen said. “When there was an overabundance of them they were fun to catch because they would bite anything, even a bare hook.” The record number of fish caught in the past KRISTIN MAGNUSSON | THE SHERIDAN PRESS Rotary Park Pond in Ranchester is the home to a fishing derby in which kids come to fish, enjoy the morning and choose gifts provided by local merchants and the towns of Dayton and Ranchester. The local Rotary Club is working to build a second dock across the pond from the one pictured above. was about 1,100 in two hours. When the derby first started, the WGFD required that each fish be weighed and measured, which was pretty time-consuming. Those rules have become a bit more relaxed over the years, so they don’t have to be weighed and measured any more. Allen does keep track of the top three largest fish and who catches the most fish. The children take buckets with them to keep the fish alive. Once Allen counts each child’s fish and identifies the types of fish, they are returned to the water. In addition to the opportunity to fish and enjoy the morning, the kids get to choose gifts to take home. “It’s like having another Christmas for the kids,” Allen smiled. “When the kids sign up for the derby they are each given a number, which is also put into a jar. The numbers are drawn and the child with the winning number can come up and choose a gift. When the jar is empty, the numbers are put back in and drawn again for more gifts. We draw until the gifts run out. Sometimes we go through the drawing three times, which means that each child gets three gifts.” All of the funding for the gifts is donated by friends, the towns of Ranchester and Dayton, the community center and by local merchants. Either money or gifts are given. The gifts include fishing equipment, camping equipment and toys such as dolls and toy cars and trucks. Allen tries to get two of everything so there are plenty of gifts to go around. “It is a lot of work, but if I can keep the kids out of trouble for two hours, it was well worth it,” Allen said. “It would be great if the kids would write thank you notes to the donors, thanking them for providing the gifts for this event. A thank you goes a long way.” According to Allen, the Rotary Club held a meeting Monday, and the members discussed working on getting a permanent bathroom set up in the park. The cost is estimated at about $12,000 to $15,000. They are also talking about putting in another dock across the pond from the existing one. The existing dock took about $30,000 to build. “Originally I think this area was dug out and used as a sand or gravel pit,” Allen said. “Then the Rotary got a hold of the pond and the acreage and made it into a nice park. If we can get additional funding for the dock and bathroom projects, it will be something to look forward to in the future.” NWCCD : Developing more skilled workforce for future of Wyo. FROM 1 According to the WDWS, Research and Planning Division, Wyoming’s unemployment rate for the month of June was 5.7 percent — an increase of 1.5 percent from the same month in the previous years. Campbell County, a county hit hard by layoffs in the energy sector, led the state in unemployment with a 7.8 percent unemployment rate. Surrounding counties (many of which are a part of the coalition) also showed higher and increasing rates of unemployment. Sheridan County’s employment rate is at 4.5 percent. “We can offer classes, but until someone has money to pay for the class, they aren’t taking them,” Bigelow said. “... If you are a laid off coal miner, you are on severance, then you anticipate going on unemploy- ment and you have a family to take care of. Having grant money to pay for training then helps you to be able to support your family, meet your obligations and have the training paid for.” Included in these grants is a program called POWER Plus, which consists of $55 million of federal government funds to provide job training, job creation and economic diversification to dependent economies impacted by the decline of the coal market. Many local students have used these funds in the past, but the problem is that the state quickly depletes funds that are available. “Our next step will be to look for the grants to help us fill some gaps in our capacity,” Bigelow said. Attendance is expected to rise at NWCCD colleges this year, which is partially due to enrollment of workers laid off from the energy industry. “The very thing that is going to diversify the economy of the state is the education that we are providing,” said Dr. Paul Young, president of the NWCCD at the May 2016 budget hearing. Even if the prices of coal and natural gas rebound, Bigelow said the programs the coalition and the college are trying to put together will pay dividends for Wyoming’s economy. Not only could a more skilled workforce be beneficial to existing Wyoming businesses, but it could also entice other companies to move to northeast Wyoming. Bigelow added that these continued discussions could lead to other solutions for the region’s economic problems. “This is a bigger picture of how to help some of the businesses that are already here recognize opportunities to expand so they can employ some of those available workers,” Bigelow said. Report: Shooting deaths of law enforcement spike in 2016 NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Shooting deaths of law enforcement officers spiked 78 percent in the first half of 2016 compared to last year, including an alarming increase in ambush-style assaults like the ones that killed eight officers in Dallas and Baton Rouge, according to a report released Wednesday. However, data from the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund shows that firearms-related deaths of officers in the line of duty are still lower than they were during previous decades like the 1970s. Thirty-two officers died in firearms-related incidents so far this year including 14 that were ambush-style attacks, according to the report. During the same period last year, 18 officers were shot and killed in the line of duty including three that were considered ambush attacks. “That’s a very alarming, shocking increase in the number of officers who are being literally assassinated because of the uniform they wear and the job that they do,” said Craig W. Floyd, who heads the organization. The organization usually releases a mid-year report tracking incidents for the first six months but decided to extend the period due to the July attacks in Dallas and Baton Rouge against police officers. So the report goes from the beginning of January to July 20 and compares it to the same period last year. On their website, the organization also keeps a running tally of officers who died in the line of duty. Those figures through July 26 show that 33 officers have been shot and killed so far this year. The report comes at a time of heightened tension between communities across the country and police officers. Two police officers and one sheriff’s deputy were shot and killed during an ambush on July 17 in Baton Rouge by a black gunman who was later killed by responding officers. In Dallas, a black gunman opened fire on police during a July 7 protest against recent police shootings of black suspects; the gunman killed five officers before being killed by authorities. A total of 67 officers have died in the line of duty so far in 2016, according to the report. That figure also includes officers who died in traffic accidents, fatal falls or airplane crashes. Man involved in fatal crash is acquitted of manslaughter GILLETTE (AP) — A Casper man involved in a two-vehicle crash in Gillette that killed his passenger has been acquitted of vehicular manslaughter and negligence. The Gillette News Record reported Tuesday that Circuit Judge Wendy Bartlett determined there was not enough evidence that Lynn Poppell was under the influence of a controlled substance to convict him. Investigators say Poppell was headed south on Highway 50 when his Jeep went off the road Feb. 2, 2015. He overcorrected, veered across the highway and crashed into an oncoming pickup. A passenger in Poppell’s Jeep, 32-year-old Alfred Banda, of Sheridan, died at the scene. Witnesses said Poppell appeared to be looking down while driving. One test confirmed he had methamphetamines in his system, but another determined he wasn’t under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

A10 THE SHERIDAN PRESS www.thesheridanpress.com WEDNESDAY, JULY 27, 2016 Senator: Is Medicare drug plan vulnerable to exploitation? BY RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS 2015.

That would give insurers more incentive to negotiate lower prices with drug companies. Separately, the Obama administration and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton want to give Medicare the legal authority to directly negotiate with the pharmaceutical companies. Republican Donald Trump has also supported opening the door to negotiations, although GOP congressional leaders do not. Polls show that regardless of political affiliation, Americans want government action to curb drug costs. Medicare’s prescription program “is an important part of the health care of many Americans, but has recently seen an alarming trend in spending growth,” Grassley wrote Medicare administrator Andy Slavitt. “Do you believe there is potential for exploitation of the catastrophic benefit as it is currently framed?” Grassley asked. Lawmakers who created the Medicare prescription program in 2003 saw cat- astrophic coverage as a way to protect seniors with multiple chronic illnesses from the cumulatively high costs of taking many medications. The recent advent of drugs that sell for $1,000 per pill is changing that. Now some patients can land in the catastrophic benefit in short order. An analysis of Medicare’s ten most pricey drugs finds that the catastrophic benefit is picking up an increasing share of costs, meaning more exposure for taxpayers. In 2013, there were four medications among the top ten that had 80 percent or more of their total costs covered by catastrophic protection. In 2015, seven of the top ten priciest drugs had crossed that threshold, according to Connecture, a company that tracks drug prices paid by health plans. “It means that one drug alone is going to kick someone into catastrophic coverage,” said Jim Yocum, senior vice president of the company. Grassley, a member of the Senate committee that oversees Medicare, asked for answers in a couple of weeks.

Obama returns to convention stage to make case for Clinton WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama acknowledged Wednesday that his hopes for a new tone in politics, embodied in the rousing Democratic convention speech he delivered 12 years ago, never materialized. Still, he says he remains undaunted. In 2004, he was the obscure Senate candidate from Illinois whose words catapulted him to the center of American political consciousness. On Wednesday night, he steps on the convention stage as the battle-hardened president hoping his legacy won’t be eroded by the outcome of the election to replace him. It’s hard to overstate what Obama has at stake as he implores voters to elect Hillary Clinton. Take Republican Donald Trump at his word, and if elected, he’d undo just about everything Obama has done, from climate change and immigration to trade and foreign relations. Obama has cast Trump as dangerous and unprepared. In an interview aired hours before his remarks, he said Trump lacks “basic knowledge about the world” and has shown no interest in learning more about it. Democrats should be “running scared’ about the real political challenge Trump poses, he said in an interview aired Wednesday on NBC’s “Today” show. Obama’s speech will also be a moment to revisit his political story and words that captivated Democrats in Boston and beyond. His scolding of pundits who carve up America into red and blue states, and his declaration that there is no black or white America but “we are one people” looks largely aspirational after a decade of increased political polarization and months of heighten racial tensions. “I’m the first to admit that when I spoke in 2004, when I ran in 2008, my hope, my expectation was that we could lift up all that common ground and create a new way of doing business in Washington and a new political tenor, a new political tone that was more respectful and more practical in trying to solve problems,” he said. “And that hasn’t happened. But it doesn’t keep me from wanting to keep on trying.” TASTE WEDNESDAY, JULY 27, 2016 www.thesheridanpress.com THE SHERIDAN PRESS Z B1 Versatile zucchini ucchini is about as versatile a vegetable as there is; able to be made into savory pancakes and moist, delicious brownies.

CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI BROWNIES Chrissy Teigen offers a variation on the Caprese salad BY ELIZABETH KARMEL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Caprese salad of fresh mozzarella, basil and tomatoes is universally loved. I personally make it all summer long and although I mix up the tomatoes based on what I can buy at the farmers market, it is virtually the same every time. Since it is tomato season and we waited a long time for this moment, I looked for a new take on a summer favorite — and found it in “Cravings,” model Chrissy Teigen’s cookbook that she co-wrote with Gourmet magazine alumna Adeena Sussman. Teigen adds a few new elements: She uses burrata — fresh mozzarella with a creamy center — and cuts the tomatoes in different shapes and sizes, some slices, some wedges. She omits the traditional basil and adds arugula and delicious, crunchy prosciutto chips which take this Caprese from ordinary good to extraordinary great. The prosciutto chips (she calls them crisps) are easy to prepare and make such a difference that I can’t believe that O I never thought of baking thin slices of prosciutto into “chips.” You can substitute them in almost any recipe that calls for bacon. Once the prosciutto bakes and cools, it is crispy and crunchy, salty and addictive. You’ll find this a welcome addition to an already popular summer recipe. CAPRESE SALAD WITH CRISPY PROSCIUTTO Adapted from “Cravings: Recipes for All the Food You Want to Eat,” by Chrissy Teigen Start to finish: 20 minutes Serves 6 4 cups baby arugula 1 (8-ounce) ball burrata or fresh mozzarella cheese 2 pounds assorted ripe tomatoes cut in a variety of shapes (wedges, slices, chunks, etc.) 3 tablespoons best-quality olive oil 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar 1-2 teaspoons kosher salt 1?2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 6-12 prosciutto crisps (recipe follows) Scatter the arugula on a serving platter and place the cheese in the center. Arrange the tomatoes around the cheese. Cut a small opening in the burrata/mozzarella ball so you can see the center, and then drizzle olive oil all around the platter. Drizzle balsamic vinegar on the tomatoes and arugula. Season the entire salad with the salt and pepper and top with the prosciutto crisps. PROSCIUTTO CRISPS Preheat the oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the prosciutto in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake until wrinkled and slightly shrunken, 11 to 13 minutes. (It will crisp as it cools.) Cool, eat whole as a snack, or crumble and use as a garnish for salads, eggs, or anything that could use crispness and ham. (For me, that’s everything.)

I personally have served as an officer and board member of my own HOA for more than 20 years, and I am proud to say that we are one of the best organized and well-regarded HOAs in our city. Unfortunately, a lot of HOAs deserve the bad press they get for their heavy-handed approach to enforcing architectural controls and building JILL standards, but the complaining residents have nobody to blame but themCATALDO selves.

I also really like having an organization that can enforce keeping lawns in reasonable shape – no 12-inch high weeds, no cars parked overnight on streets and no boats and trailers parked in view. I like living in a neighborhood that showcases clean and neat homes – not the detritus of some people’s lifestyle. I’m happy that my HOA does not micromanage and penalize for the smallest of infractions. For example, lots of folks do have an overnight guest who parks on the street. That does not get penalized. But someone with teenagers and lots of cars blocking streets for months on end would not be tolerated. That’s my take on it. It was my first neighborhood with an HOA and we’ve been here 18 years.

Cancer sucks. I’ve typed that two-word sentence far too often in this Wednesday column. But man does cancer suck. I tell you this not for your sympathy or kind words and gestures. Although those are deeply appreciated, I ask you to pass them along to someone else. There are far too many people much more deserving and definitely more in need of those kind gestures than I am. But I also type this column in part as remembrance and MIKE partially as a piece of advice. PRUDEN As much as I groan | about baseball and its tedious games and seasons, my blood is deeply rooted in Chicago Cubs blue and red. My grandma is the reason I’m a Cubs fan. Thanks a lot, grandma. Indianapolis doesn’t have a professional baseball team, so most Hoosiers stagger toward the Cubs or the Cincinnati Reds. A few head to the South Side of Chicago and root for the White Sox, but we don’t trust those folks. My grandma chose the Cubs long ago. And me, a young impressionable boy who’d glue his eyes to the television no matter what sport was on, would watch Ryne Sandberg and Sammy Sosa at grandma’s house — afternoon games were a godsend for a 6-year-old. She flew a Cubs flag in her yard, and she’d always give me a “How about those Cubbies?” in early June and a “What happened to the Cubs?” in July. We talked on the phone during the Cubs playoff run last fall. This year was going to be even better, we both boasted as if trying to convince one another. Hopefully it still is. The World Series will begin right around her birthday in October, Cubs. Just sayin’. It went beyond the Lovable Losers, too. My grandma was always up to date on the Pacers’ record. I even watched the dreaded Pacers-Pistons brawl with my grandma. She stayed up and watched the end while I went to bed. She thought about waking me up, but I had basketball practice early the next morning, so she figured she better let me sleep. But she still gave me the recap the next morning. Aren’t grandmas the best? These are memories that I, as an obsessed sports fan, share with my grandmother. These are the types of memories we should all share with others, as sports fans. Whether it be a grandmother, mother, father, sibling, uncle or best friend, watching sports can bring people together if for just a few short hours, ignoring the outside world while creating memories inside a stadium or television screen. Sports are funny like that. They’re unique. They’re special. “Where were you when Tiger Woods sank his chip at the Masters? Where were you when Peyton Manning retired?” These answers are embedded deep into our memory banks. “Where were you when Ron Artest went crazy and punched a fan in Detroit?” I was hanging with Grandma Pruden. I have a brain full of sports memories, shared with a number of people. One of those people is my stubborn, Cubs-loving grandmother. We didn’t get to see the Cubs win the World Series, but that’s OK. We got to watch a boatload of abysmal Cubs losses over the years. And they’ll get you a World Series this year. Go Cubs, go. And thanks, grandma, for the memories.

SPORTS www.thesheridanpress.com WEDNESDAY, JULY 27, 2016 Troopers win opener at state tourney FROM STAFF REPORTS SHERIDAN — It took a bit of a comeback, but the Sheridan Troopers advanced past the first round of the state tournament with a 10-6 win over the Casper Oilers Tuesday morning. The Troopers opened the Wyoming AA State Tournament in Jackson Hole against a Casper team they’d already beaten five times this season, but it took some solid hitting late in the game to steal the win and advance to the second round. After jumping to a 2-0 lead in the first inning, Casper took control over Sheridan’s starting pitcher Blake Godwin, who has been solid all season for the Troopers. But the Oilers found the gaps after a couple innings and took a 5-4 lead in the third. The Troopers stole the momentum at the plate, though, to take some pressure off their starting pitcher. They secured a 9-6 lead in the sixth before bringing one more across the plate to seal the deal. The win advanced Sheridan to a Wednesday matchup with the Gillette Roughriders. Gillette — the top seed in the Troopers’ conference — defeated Rock Springs Archie Hay Post 24 14-2 in Tuesday’s opening round. Sheridan and Gillette split their regular season series 2-2, the most recent matchup going to the Roughriders in a 16-11 win last week. The Troopers walked eight batters and hit four in the loss. Wednesday’s second-round game is scheduled for 4 p.m. The winner will advance to the state semifinals Thursday, while the loser will move on to a loser-out game Thursday with the hopes of staying alive. The AA state championship will be played Friday and again Saturday if a second-game is necessary to crown a champion.

On Tuesday night, the Rockies emphatically spoiled Tillman’s bid to become the first 15-game winner in the majors. Carlos Gonzalez and Trevor Story had two RBIs apiece in a four-run third inning, and the Rockies ended Baltimore’s five-game winning streak with a 6-3 victory Tuesday night. Tillman (14-3) gave up six runs and nine hits in five innings. The right-hander retired six of the first seven batters but needed 89 pitches to get 15 outs. “We were patient,” Gonzalez said. “We had some really good at-bats against him. We know what kind of pitcher he is. He is having a tremendous year, especially here at his park.” Tillman was 8-0 at home this season, and Baltimore was unbeaten in his 12 starts at Camden Yards.

OZ & ROIZEN MARY WORTH by Karen Moy and Joe Giella BORN LOSER® by Art and Chip Sansom Park it One hundred years ago, on Aug. 25, 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed the act creating the National Park Service, providing protection for 35 established parks. Today, there are 407, from the most-visited Great Smoky Mountains National Park, with 10 million visitors a year, to the least-visited DEAR ABBY GARFIELD by Jim Davis FRANK & ERNEST® by Bob Thaves REX MORGAN, M.D. by Woody Wilson and Tony DiPreta ZITS® by Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman DILBERT by S. Adams ALLEY OOP® by Dave Graue and Jack Bender WEDNESDAY, JULY 27, 2016 DEAR ABBY: After two failed marriages, I married a wonderful man whom I love but am not in love with. He recently had a seizure, after which he was diagnosed with moderate dementia. All I see is a long, dark road ahead. We are both senior citizens with not a long time left on this Earth. My health is suffering because of this Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Michael Roizen Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve in Alaska, with only around 11,000 visitors annually. Seems millions and millions of you know that getting into any park (even if it’s just part of a city block) is good for you. And science backs you up. A multicenter U.S.-Canada study found that “knowing and experiencing nature makes us healthier, happier people.” And a University of Rochester study found that being around green spaces not only reduces stress and makes you feel better, but makes you behave better, too! How much green time do you need? Australian researchers say 30 minutes a week minimum is what it takes to relax and reduce your risk for high blood pressure and depression. If everyone did that, they say, the prevalence of HBP would decrease by 9 percent and depression by 7 percent. Our recommendation for green-space health boosters: Spend 30-60 minutes (with a pedometer and a buddy) walking, five times a week. Head for 10,000 steps daily -- outside, when weather permits. (An after-dinner walk with the family is great!) Find a quiet spot and meditate for 10 minutes (instructions are at www. doctoroz.com/videos/deepak-chopras-stress-free-meditation). You’ll avoid what’s being called Nature Deficient Disorder, which is afflicting everyone from screen-bound kids to housebound elders. Pauline Phillips and Jeanne Phillips situation. I am extremely depressed, suffer from panic attacks and have lost any hope of happiness in the future. I am torn between my responsibility to my husband and leaving to try to find some sort of joy in my life. If I stay, my mental and physical health will be ruined. If I leave, guilt will destroy me. Is there a solution? -- OVERWHELMED IN HOUSTON DEAR OVERWHELMED: Yes, and the first part of the solution is to realize you are NOT a weak sister -- as much as you might think you are. You took a vow to stand by the man you married, and now it’s time to honor it. He may not be the love of your life, but he is your friend. Friends don’t cut and run when the going gets tough. Talk to a geriatrician (M.D.) to find out what kind of care your husband needs now and will need in the future. You should also learn as much as you can about what services for seniors exist in your community. He may eventually need an assisted living facility, but in the meantime, a home caregiver may be able to help him with personal grooming and give you some time to yourself. If he has children or other family members, they might be willing to pitch in and help. While a diagnosis of dementia is daunting, I urge you to enjoy the time you have with him now. He’s still the person you cared for enough to marry. He WILL be that person for quite a while. You may be a senior, but you’re still vital and may have many years ahead to enjoy life. If you fulfill your role as a supportive wife now, your chances of finding happiness when your husband’s journey is over will be greater. A final thought: You’re not alone. There is support out there for you and your husband. Reach out to the Alzheimer’s Association (alz. org; 800-272-3900) for information and local support and resources. DEAR ABBY: I have been invited to a “gender reveal” party. I have never heard of such a thing. I mean, REALLY? In my day, a married woman’s first child was welcomed with a baby shower. Today, baby showers are given for three, four, five children of the same mother whether she’s married or not. Am I out of the loop on this one? I anxiously await your reply. -- NOT READY FOR THIS DEAR NOT READY: Parents don’t know what the sex of their child will be until they get the results of the first or second ultrasound. Some of them choose to have the results presented to them in an envelope and given to a third person, to be shared with family and friends during a gender reveal party that is sometimes held in place of a baby shower. The results of the ultrasound are then announced either verbally or, in some cases, by serving attendees white or yellow cupcakes with cream centers that are either pink or blue. Yes, it’s an excuse to have a party, but why not celebrate? If the idea is a turnoff, no law says you must attend.

When it hardened, she simply threw it in the trash. The worst thing you could have done back then, and presently, is to pour it directly down the sink. I have found a way to eliminate both the danger of spilling the hot grease into a container and the unwanted smell under the sink. After you finish frying the bacon, turn off the heat and lay three sheets of paper towels in the pan. The paper towels will soak up all the grease. Wait a minute and simply throw all the greasesoaked paper towels into the garbage. Surprisingly, the greasy paper towels cool down quickly, so there is no damage to your trash pail or the plastic lining. -- Robert D., via email I agree -- do not ever throw grease of any kind down the sink. However, I would caution that you should always let the grease cool before adding the paper towels, and NEVER pour hot grease into anything. -- Heloise CORING PINEAPPLE Dear Heloise: While making a pineapple upside-down cake (which called for 1/2inch slices of fresh pine- Arby's is looking for friendly enthusiastic team members to work all shifts.

Now just close the lid for 35-40 minutes. Every time you take out a piece of corn, make sure to close the lid again to keep the remaining corn hot. -- Andy K. in Finksburg, Md.

Those you are thrown in contact with might not be totally accurate. Check the facts carefully, as it is possible to make an error of judgment. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The news might not be exactly what you wanted to hear. But you may have asked the wrong question at the wrong time. Push aside personal desires and doubts for a few days and things will change for the better. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Scattering your energy in too many directions can be counterproductive. A brief period of hurry and flurry could deter you from important tasks. Use your imagination to promote your ideas in public places. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Try something new. Don’t be afraid to color outside the lines or to approach problems from a different angle. A new acquaintance may merely turn out to be a fair weather friend but could alter your viewpoints. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Be on target by not going off on a tangent. Convey the appropriate message to a loved one or make plans to get certain jobs completed with speed and accuracy. Errors illuminate what needs extra attention. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Opposites attract but they don’t always get along. You may find an attractive item that you simply must own.

Deal with them immediately. You may need extra self-discipline to avoid arguments and keep your mind on work, but that’s the way to achieve success. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t expect stability when you are undergoing changes. You might ride a roller coaster of highs and lows with neither extreme lasting very long. Visit exotic locations or go out of your way to meet someone new. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Dedication is a desirable trait. Put your energy as well as brains to work in ways that will improve your reputation and earn you recognition for a job well done. Don’t waste time gossiping on the phone. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): People count on your backing when faced with calamity or crisis. You might not be able to make headway with a personal financial situation, but your friends will certainly appreciate your stability and dependability. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Put the ringtone on mute. You may receive more than your fair share of robo-calls, special offers and sales contacts. Don’t let inconsequential interruptions disturb the work environment or upset your mood. IF JULY 28 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Your imagination could be stuck in overdrive for the next five to six weeks so you may let an attraction or a crush fool you into thinking it is the real thing. Your judgment is much better in October when you can embrace new opportunities and can successfully enter into new commitments, such as a new romance, new job or change of address. You might receive a lucky break in the form of a job opportunity or helpful new friend. Your ability to attract wise advisors is at a high point in the fall, but in November any new business agreement or financial decision might entangle you in endless red tape or cause long term hardships.

Mortgage: A lien granted by the owner of property to provide security for a debt or obligation. Public notices allow citizens to monitor their government and make sure that it is working in their best interest. Independent newspapers assist in this cause by carrying out their partnership with the people’s right to know through public notices. By offering an independent and archived record of public notices, newspapers foster a more trusting relationship between government and its citizens. Newspapers have the experience and expertise in publishing public notices and have done so since the Revolutionary War. Today, they remain an established, trustworthy and neutral source that ably transfers information between government and the people. Public notices are the lasting record of how the public’s resources are used and are presented in the most efficient and effective means possible. Alex Lee Councilor 307-752-8804 THE SHERIDAN PRESS Power of Sale: A clause commonly written into a mortgage authorizing the mortgagee to advertise and sell the property in the event of default.

It is true that all of the defenders’ methods can be analyzed by declarer, and he may benefit from the “free” information. However, defense is so difficult that the defenders just have to accept those bad deals. With no leading or signaling agreements, many contracts would make that could have been defeated. For example, in this deal, how should the defenders card to defeat three no-trump after West leads his fourth-highest spade seven? At trick one, East must put his spade jack onto the table, the bottom of equivalent cards when playing third hand high. (In general, assuming a defender can afford to do it, he plays the top of touching honors -- except when he is the third hand to play to a trick and is going to put up the highest card so far played -- he might even take the trick.) South wins with his spade king, leads a club to dummy’s ace, and returns a club. What should East discard? It looks tempting to pitch the heart queen, but that isn’t right.

So, there are four spades higher than the seven in the dummy, his hand and declarer’s hand combined, and he has seen them all: dummy’s nine, his jack and queen, and declarer’s king. So, West’s spade suit is ready to run. But West doesn’t know who has the spade queen. East must clarify the position by discarding the aforementioned spade queen. PICKLES B8 THE SHERIDAN PRESS www.thesheridanpress.com HOT: Rockies winners of 5 of last 6; 8-4 since All-Star break FROM B2 He permitted a combined four runs over 28 innings in his previous four starts, but in this outing Tillman tied a season high for runs allowed. So what made this start so much different? “I think the ball just fell where we weren’t,” he said. After Colorado loaded the bases with one out in the third, Tillman retired Nolan Arenado on a foul popup and was within a strike of getting out of the jam when Gonzalez lined a double into the left-field corner. Story followed with a two-run single for a 4-0 lead. “We had the two big at-bats with Cargo and Story. Both with two outs and two strikes,” manager Walt Weiss said. “Those two at-bats were crucial in the game.” Arenado picked up his 78th RBI with a double in the fifth and came home on a wild pitch. Adam Jones hit his 18th homer for Baltimore in the bottom half. The Orioles still own baseball’s best home record at 37-15, including 21-4 since the beginning of June. Chad Bettis (9-6) won his third straight start, allowing two runs, four hits and three walks in six innings. Colorado is 8-1 in his last nine outings. “They have a lot of guys who can slug it,” the right-hander said. “You just have to try to work in and out effectively. If you leave the ball up, stuff like the Jones’ home run happens.” Rookie Carlos Estevez got three outs for his ninth save. The surging Rockies have won five of six and are 8-4 since the All-Star break. “I’ve been telling the club all year I felt we were going to get better and better as the year goes on,” Weiss said. “That hasn’t been our history the last few years.” SKIDDING DAVIS Orioles first baseman Chris Davis went 0 for 3 with two strikeouts and is 0 for 24 with four walks and one RBI since July 17. “He’s going through a period where he’s not — stating the obvious — doing what he’s capable of,” manager Buck Showalter said. “He’ll get it going.” BAGGAGE CLAIM Rockies rookie David Dahl finally got his luggage Tuesday, one day after making a cross-country journey to make his major league debut. He went 1 for 4 Monday night while wearing a glove provided by Mark Reynolds, swinging a bat donated by Daniel Descalso and running in cleats loaned by Story. Dahl started again Tuesday and went 1 for 4. TRAINER’S ROOM Rockies: RHP Justin Miller (oblique tightness) was scheduled to work one inning in a rehab stint with Triple-A Albuquerque. ...

WEDNESDAY, JULY 27, 2016 QB: Season opener on Sept. 8 in Denver FROM B2 “This is the first time that I’ve seen a playbook like that, so I knew it was going to be tough and I knew I was going to be behind,” he said. “The biggest thing for me is just staying confident in myself, keep my head up, keep pushing through and keep grinding. It’ll come to you eventually. “From a competition standpoint, you’re not just going to say, ‘Yeah, I’ll take the back seat.’ It’s my job as a rookie to push those guys that are ahead of me however I can.” Lynch and the rest of the rookie class reported to camp Monday. The veterans, including Sanchez, a six-year veteran, and Siemian report Wednesday with the first full-squad workout Thursday. Lynch said getting all the snaps the past two days was difficult from a conditioning standpoint but “mentally getting those reps is really important.” All three QBs cut short their summer vacations to prepare themselves for what Kubiak has said will be a high-pressure test to determine his starter when the Broncos begin defense of their title against the Panthers on Sept. 8 in Denver.
