C1 Hazardous materials team responds to Trails End Motel FROM STAFF REPORTS SHERIDAN — A guest at Trails End Motel made a report Friday afternoon that he was ill and Rocky Mountain Ambulance responded to the scene. Upon arrival, responders were given information by the man that he had recently returned from Africa, and was concerned he had contracted Ebola. RMA employees contacted Sheridan Memorial Hospital, who directed them to call in Sheridan Fire Rescue, as SFR is fully equipped with the proper hazardous material suits and equipment. “Due to some comments made by the individual, it was determined that a hazardous materials team needed to be dispatched and identify if there was a credible threat,” Captain Robert Dobbs of Sheridan Fire Rescue said. After receiving the call from Rocky Mountain at 5 p.m., they immediately dispatched the hazardous materials team to Trails End. The Sheridan Police Department reported to the scene at 5:30 p.m. and according to Sgt. Tom Ringley, guests in some wings of the hotel were asked to stay out of their rooms until it could be determined whether or not there was a threat to the public. SEE HAZMAT, PAGE 2 Broncs lose to Natrona 24-0 MIKE PRUDEN | THE SHERIDAN PRESS Sheridan’s Colbey Bruney carries the ball downfield Friday at Natrona County High School. BY MIKE PRUDEN THE SHERIDAN PRESS SHERIDAN — Through the first seven weeks of the season, the Natrona Mustangs only gave up 6.1 points a game, and their stifling defense was too much for the Broncs to handle last night in Casper. Head coach Don Julian knew that turnovers would be the difference maker in the ballgame, but he was hoping his team would be on the better end of them Friday. The Broncs dug themselves an early hole by giving up a touchdown to the Mustangs right away. Sheridan received the opening kickoff and had a great possibility to move the ball immediately, but quarterback Blake Godwin barely overthrew a wide-open Joe Shassetz on the opening play of the game. The play would have gone for at least 40 yards. Two plays later, on a third-and-6 from their own 24-yard line, Godwin threw an interception. To go along with the already short field in front of them, a Sheridan encroachment penalty on fourth-and-1 kept the drive going and led to an eventual 6-yard touchdown run. The Broncs’ offense was never able to get going after that. It seemed as if the big “NC” logo at mid- field was a magnet, attracted to the blue pants and white jerseys of the Sheridan Broncs. Anytime the Sheridan offense gained any momentum, it hit a wall right at the midfield logo. The Broncs were forced to punt six times last night and turned the ball over on downs right around midfield. The running game was virtually nonexistent for Sheridan as well. The Broncs only ran the ball 12 times, allowing the Natrona defense to play the pass and come away with three interceptions on the game. Wedded bliss? Federal judge overturns Wyoming gay marriage ban CHEYENNE (AP) — A federal judge has ordered Wyoming to allow same-sex marriage but has stayed his decision so that the state can appeal if it wants. Despite the delay, advocates for gay marriage were rejoicing Friday. “It’s a bit of legal maneuvering but make no mistake the freedom to marry is here in Wyoming,” Jeran Artery, executive director of Wyoming Equality, declared. U.S. District Judge Scott Skavdahl ruled Friday that the state must comply with a ruling by the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals that permits same-sex marriage. But he says his ruling will not take effect until next Thursday in order to allow time for the state to appeal. Skavdahl said his ruling will take effect immediately if the state decides before Thursday not to appeal. Gov. Matt Mead, who has defended the state law, said during a debate Thursday night he would be opposed to appealing a decision against the state. There was no immediate comment from Mead or the attorney general’s office Friday afternoon. Denver lawyer L. James Lyman, who represents same-sex couples who filed the federal lawsuit against Mead, said Friday that his side would ask the state attorneys to “file a notice with the court so folks can start getting married sooner than the end of next week.” Wyoming is among the most conservative states politically and its law defines marriage as between a man and woman. But the number of states fighting gay marriage is dwindling thanks to a slew of court rulings in recent weeks. The U.S. Supreme Court recently declined to review several federal court rulings that upheld gay marriage as a constitutional right. The rulings include the one from the 10th Circuit, which covers Wyoming and five other states. Wyoming county clerks have been unwilling to grant marriage licenses to same-sex couples until the legal issues have been resolved. SEE BRONCS, PAGE 2 SEE MARRIAGE, PAGE 2 Dispelling the myths of Common Core BY ALISA BRANTZ THE SHERIDAN PRESS SHERIDAN — The Common Core State Standards continue to be an ongoing hot topic of conversation in Sheridan County and elsewhere, as is evident by the persisting debates and pre-election positioning on the issue. While it is commonly stated that there is much discourse between supporters and critics to the standards, there appears to be a consensus on the idea that many people truly don’t know what the standards are. Earlier this week at the Sheridan County candidate forums, school and college board hopefuls gathered to answer questions and address topics pertinent to their potential positions, including their thoughts on Common Core. Standards outline critical parts of the game — whether they are playing home or away. They include the length of the field, the rules of the game and the roles of offense and defense. Curriculum is the playbook to help the team succeed. Every team has a different playbook that draws on the strengths of each individual on the team. Assessments include not just the final score, but also the game tape used to renew plays and identify areas to improve.

The AgriPark is Sheridan College’s new large animal science center and future home for the men’s and women’s rodeo teams — in development now on the north end of Sheridan.

Wragge said it was his personal honor to make the motion as his family had connections to the LeDoux family, including Wragge’s daughter teaching LeDoux’s children music lessons. Hoffman added that he was at the college when LeDoux was on the Sheridan rodeo team and he was a remarkable man back then, and continued to be so. After college, LeDoux went on to compete professionally in rodeo, claiming the bareback title at the National Finals Rodeo in 1976. Throughout his career, he moonlit as a singer and songwriter, initially selling records out of his truck and eventually going on to record 36 albums. LeDoux passed away in March 2005 after a battle with a rare form of cancer. That year he was posthumously named to the ProRodeo Hall of Fame and awarded the Academy of Country Music Pioneer Award.

FROM 1 HAZMAT: Guest claimed to have Ebola FROM 1 The hazmat team gained entry to the man’s room, conducted a thorough interview process and determined the individual was not a threat. “There are certain symptoms we look for, and also during the interview process it was determined this individual didn’t have any credible information that he would have been exposed to Ebola,” Dobbs said. “He had never left the country, been in contact with someone from Africa or with someone with Ebola.” The evacuation lasted approximately an hour until it was determined there was no public threat. The hazmat team left the site at 6:48 p.m. and left the man in the care of RMA. After the threat was dispelled, the individual was transferred to Sheridan Memorial Hospital but not for anything biological or hazardous related. The man’s passport showed his statement of recently returning from Africa was false and officials at the motel reported he had been their guest for several weeks. “No matter what, we always take everything serious and take all precautions necessary until we identify if it is a credible threat or not,” Dobbs said. “We’ve received information from the CDC detailing checklists for Ebola preparedness, the hospital is trained for it and we have all the protective equipment for anything like that. But there was no threat here.” Ringley reported that though charges could be placed for someone attempting to create public fear or distraction, that was not the case here and no charges will be filed. “We don’t know what the intent of the reporting party was,” Ringley said. “He may well have been under the weather, but it certainly wasn’t from any type of virus or pathogen.” Goose Valley Fire District was also onsite for the incident. Rocky Mountain Ambulance was not available for comment before presstime. MARRIAGE: Suit included Carpenter pair FROM 1 The couples include Brie Barth and Shelly Montgomery of Carpenter, who applied for a marriage license the day after the Supreme Court decision not to take up gay marriage upheld gay marriage in the 10th Circuit and elsewhere. Barth and Montgomery are among the couples who filed the federal lawsuit. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2014 www.thesheridanpress.com THE SHERIDAN PRESS A3 12 city vehicles receive Global Positioning Systems to improve operations BY HANNAH SHEELY THE SHERIDAN PRESS SHERIDAN — New Global Positioning Systems being installed in 12 city vehicles this week will enable more efficient operations and improved tracking and accountability, Public Works Director Nic Bateson said. The systems, which will be primarily installed in snow removal equipment, were approved in this year’s general fund budget utilizing up to $75,000 in supplemental funds. Supplemental funds are state funds given to municipalities that can’t be used for regular operations like salaries and wages but can be used for one-time expenses or ongoing costs like utilities. The total cost of installing GPS in the first 12 vehicles in the snow removal fleet was approximately $12,000. City staff are considering similar systems in landfill vehicles in the future. Bateson said GPS technology in city vehicles is an up-and-coming trend around the country. The system will monitor vehicle locations at all times, driving distance and performance of each vehicle, including idle time and running time. Sensors on the GPS equipment will also allow the city to identify, in the case of snow plows, information such as when the snow plow is up or down, when the equipment is applying ice slicer and more. “At the end of the day, or the end of a snow event, we can look back and evaluate the efficiency of our operations to make sure we are where we need to be and how efficient we are with our equipment,” Bateson said. GPS capabilities will allow for more efficient dispatch of snow plows since the dispatch center will know where each vehicle is located and where each should go based on need and location. GPS will also allow for better tracking of routes and services performed. This will help city staff better address citizen questions about whether and when a plow has been on their street, if and when ice slicer was applied and more. Bateson said the city service center receives numerous calls regarding snow plow routes and services during each snow event, and the GPS will allow staff to provide more accurate and timely answers. The systems will also provide record keeping for “safety walk arounds” done by employees to ensure a vehicle is safe to drive, and will provide accountability to ensure safety checks are completed before and after a vehicle is used. “It will be a great check and balance system,” Bateson said. “If we do look at our system and operations and see we’re not doing things as efficiently as we should be, that’s when we can try to cut costs.” Bateson said the new systems are one way the city uses state funds to invest in equipment that will save the city money in the long term.

Legislators consider combining two proposed workplace safety bills BY KELLI HEITSTUMAN-TOMKO THE SHERIDAN PRESS SHERIDAN — Brett Collins died on the job in 2012. The 20-year-old was hit by the bucket of an excavator as he worked in a trench — a violation of safety standards set by Wyoming’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Negotiations between Occupational Safety and Health Administration and COP Construction, where Collins worked, reduced the proposed fine of $13,860 to less than half that amount. For the Collins family, that was unacceptable. They have proposed a bill that they hope will keep companies responsible for employee deaths from walking away with low penalties. The bill they have proposed is still only a draft, but legislators on the Labor, Health and Social Services Committee discussed it at a meeting Thursday in conjunction with a second bill meant to raise OSHA penalties that had passed the House, but not the Senate, in 2010. The original proposal by the Collins family asked that a company responsible for an employee’s death be charged a non-negotiable $50,000 fee on top of penalties levied against the company by OSHA. Rep. Mary Throne, D-Laramie, said the committee talked about combining the Collins bill with the OSHA penalties bill in some fashion. “We had some good discussion,” Throne said. “I think we can have a bill that addresses the Collins’ concerns, and we’re moving forward.” Throne added that there would be one more meeting to talk about the bills before the legislative session starts in January. Rep. Kathy Coleman, R-Sheridan, said there was language in the new bill that caused her some concern. “There is a clause that basically makes it a criminal act to listen to appeals,” she said. The clause reads, “No state official or employee who has authority to impose a penalty under this subsection shall fail to impose the penalty or shall negotiate a lesser penalty. Any person who willfully violates this paragraph is guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be fined two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00) and be removed from office or employment.” Coleman said she believes employers should be allowed to appeal a penalty should new evidence arise. She also said she is concerned that officials may not hear those appeals if they fear they will be criminally charged and fired. “It just still needs a lot of discussion,” Coleman said. According to a report issued by the AFLCIO in May, Wyoming had the third highest median of workplace safety penalties paid out in 2012 at just over $20,000, and had the second highest rate for workplace deaths at 12.2 percent per 100,000 workers. Coleman said she believes that imposing stiffer penalties will help lower workplace deaths. “I think Throne’s bill has a good chance,” Coleman said. “We need to place an emphasis on workplace safety. With grant money for safety training and higher penalties for safety violations, I think we can move forward.” Office Manager Production Manager A4 OPINION THE SHERIDAN PRESS www.thesheridanpress.com Nobel awards give voice to the murmur T Prize. here has been a lot of talk over the last week or so about the winners of the Nobel Peace The winners made quite the stir. Malala Yousfzai, a 17-yearold Pakistani advocate for girls’ education, became the youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner in history. The Nobel Committee also took great care in choosing the person with whom she shares the award. Kailash Satyarthi EDITOR’S is an Indian COLUMN children’s | rights Kristen Czaban activist. "The Nobel Committee regards it as an important point for a Hindu and a Muslim, an Indian and a Pakistani, to join in a common struggle for education and against extremism," the committee said in a statement. Not only did they join an adult and a teenager, they unified two cultures. Even more important was the focus the committee chose to put on children. I am an avid reader. So the struggles of this year’s winners are not new to me. But I was thrilled to see them honored on such a large scale. I was saddened, though, too. Some hadn’t heard of Yousfzai or Satyarthi. Why? The troubles of children are often drowned out by the roar of adults clamoring for help with their own issues. Globally, the economy, poverty, hunger, illness and any other number of issues often take the forefront. But children will be the ones to inherit all of those troubles we cannot solve. They also frequently become the victim of wars adults continue to battle with no resolution. The focus put on children by the Nobel Committee, I hope, reminds all of us that children’s rights and children’s voices, no matter how murmered, deserve to be heard. While both Satyarthi and Yousfzai are from outside the U.S., our country is not immune to issues facing children either. Drugs and alcohol abuse, poverty and violence are not unique to other nations or cultures. We have them here too. I’m glad to see Yousfzai and Satyarthi recognized, both for their efforts to right humanitarian wrongs and for the light their work continues to shine on issues facing children across the globe. THE SHERIDAN Press Stephen Woody Publisher Kristen Czaban Managing Editor Phillip Ashley Marketing Director Becky Martini Office Manager Mark Blumenshine Production Manager SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2014 SHERIDAN PRESS EDITORIAL | Part of success means showing up W oody Allen once said, “Eighty percent of success is showing up.” For candidates running for public office, that quote seems to fall on deaf ears. The Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce held two nights of candidate forums this week. Sheridan is one of the largest communities in the state, yet few statewide candidates participated in the event. Local candidates, even, failed to show up. It is understandable that not every candidate can attend every event to which he or she is invited. But, when you’re asking for the votes of individuals in your community, you sure better try. Tuesday night’s candidate forum featured local candidates — those for local town councils, school boards and the conservation district. Of the 45 candidates seeking office, 31 attended. Yes, some of those individuals who chose not to attend are running unopposed. But even those candidates, despite a likely win, should be speaking with their constituents about who they are and what they have to offer. Wednesday’s turnout proved to be even worse. Fewer than half (10 of 26) of the candidates attended to speak with Sheridan residents and ask, in person, for their votes. Wednesday featured candidates running for seats in the Wyoming Legislature and for other statewide offices like governor and superintendent of public instruction. Sheridan area residents have proven to be more interested in candidates than past years. The Whitney Presentation Hall had nearly 100 local residents pres- ent to hear ideas and ask questions. While that isn’t a great turnout if you look at the total number of registered voters in the county (15,132), attendance was better than it has been in the past. In addition, voters will have the opportunity to watch the forums online and on television, candidates will not have another chance to address voters in this manner before Election Day. It’s a shame more of the candidates seeking our support didn’t attend and share their ideas with the voters.

W Will the FCC try to tackle вЂ�Redskins’? retched excess by government can be beneficial if it startles people into wholesome disgust and deepened distrust and it prompts judicial rebukes that enlarge freedom. So let’s hope the Federal Communications Commission embraces the formal petition inciting it to deny licenses to broadcasters who use the word “Redskins” when reporting on the Washington Redskins. Using the FCC to break another private institution to the state’s saddle for the satisfaction of a clamorous faction illustrates how the government’s many tentaGEORGE cles give it many means of WILL intimidating people who | offend it. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, empowered to ban trademarks that “may” disparage persons, has already limited trademark protection of the Redskins’ name. The FCC petition argues that broadcasting the word “Redskins” during prime time has “an adverse impact on impressionable young Indian as well as non-Indian children.” (Today’s sensitivity arbiters say the word “Indian” does, too, but never mind.) Furthermore, uttering “Redskins” is “akin to broadcasting obscenity” and pornography, is “hate speech” and an “ethnic slur” that “keep[s] alive the spirit of inhumanity, subjugation and genocide” and “may” cause violence against Native Americans. Besides, it is a “nuisance,” defined as something “annoying.” Is the FCC empowered to protect an entitlement to a life without annoyances? What if the FCC is annoying? This is complicated.

The decision to print any submission is completely at the discretion of the managing editor and publisher. Letters must be signed and include an address and telephone number – which will not be published – for verification purposes. Unsigned letters will not be published, nor form letters, or letters that we deem libelous, obscene or in bad taste. Email delivery of letters into the Press works best and have the best chance of being published. Law and supervises an invaluable Web site, the Volokh Conspiracy (a partner of The Post), thinks the petition refutes itself. It argues that “Redskins” is offensive because of the ideas and attitudes the word conveys. But when the Supreme Court upheld restrictions on the broadcasting of certain vulgarities (George Carlin’s “seven dirty words”), it stressed that the mere fact that speech is offensive is not a sufficient reason for suppressing it. And although the court focused on the content of the words, it did not focus on the political content or on the speaker’s opinion. “Indeed,” Justice John Paul Stevens wrote, “if it is the speaker’s opinion that gives offense, that consequence is a reason for according [an utterance] constitutional protection,” because “the government must remain neutral in the marketplace of ideas.” Volokh adds: “The premise of the criticism of вЂ�Redskins’ is precisely that it embodies a racist, demeaning message about American Indians (whether or not this is intended by those who use it), and that it offends because of this racist meaning. It thus is the speaker’s imputed opinion and supposed вЂ�political content’ of the word that gives offense.” Some say “Redskins” is merely an offensive epithet with a negligible ideological message. Volokh replies that the epithet is offensive to those who are offended “because of its allegedly racist ideology, and the call to suppress it stems precisely from the perception that it conveys this racist ideology.” Anyway, the anti-”Redskins” petition is less legal reasoning than a form of bureaucratic bullying known as regulation by “raised eyebrow.” The petition’s author notes that the FCC sometimes indicates disapproval of this or that, thereby compelling broadcasters, worried about being put out of business, to practice self-censorship. So the petition seems designed to trigger this, thereby succeeding even if it fails — even if the FCC dismisses the petition. If, however, the FCC under progressives today but conservatives tomorrow, can, in the petition’s words, define and ban particular words as “nuisances” because they “annoy” a “substantial composite” of the population, what other words will appear on an ever-lengthening list? Today many colleges and universities have “free speech zones” — wee spaces to which the First Amendment is confined. Such institutions are run by educators whose meager educations did not teach them that the amendment made America a free speech zone. Campuses are habitats for progressives, and the distilled essence of today’s progressivism is the use of power to limit speech. The fact that censorship is progressivism’s default position regarding so many things is evidence of progressives’ pessimism about the ability of their agenda to advance under a regime of robust discussion. It also indicates the delight progressives derive from bossing people around and imposing a particular sensibility, in the name of diversity, of course. The petition, which uses “R*dskins” (this typographical delicacy supposedly will help prevent pogroms against Native Americans), says the phrase “colored people,” too, is “now considered derogatory.” If so, some progressive has the awkward duty of notifying the NAACP that its name is “akin to” a disparagement, an obscenity, pornography, a racial slur and hate speech.

COMMUNITY VOICES SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2014 www.thesheridanpress.com THE SHERIDAN PRESS A5 COMMUNITY PERSPECTIVES | Street SmART: Art decorates the streets of Sheridan I t can challenge, delight, educate and illuminate. It is thought-provoking and often controversial. Public art. And it is exactly that — art in public spaces. Art that is free and accessible to everyone. The Sheridan Public Arts Committee formed in 2001 because citizens of Sheridan aspired to strengthen the local economy and enhance our quality of life by establishing an on-loan art program. The committee raises funds to acquire BETH permanent sculptures HOLSINGER that become cherished symbols of pride and | identity in our beautiful city. As the former part-time coordinator for the Public Arts Committee, and now as executive director of the Downtown Sheridan Association, I have received innumerable compliments from tourists, locals and artists about the splendor of our city and our picturesque Main Street. I cannot begin to tell you how often I see visitors taking photos of the sculptures around town and in front of the DSA office. A couple traveling through Sheridan just recently purchased “Waiting For The Parade” by Donna Pelton, one of the onloan sculptures. Public art matters. It weaves a diverse and colorful tapestry throughout world communities. Carefully conceived public art programs, rich with connections to our history, help make places of meaning within a community. Most of all, public art creates a sense of civic vitality in the cities, towns and communities we inhabit and visit. Places with strong public art expressions break the trend of blandness and sameness and give communities a stronger sense of place and identity. Art can provide an intersection between past, present and future, between disciplines and between ideas. The Public Arts Committee is able to fund the on-loan program and maintain acquired sculptures thanks in part to annual funding received from the City of Sheridan’s Optional One-Cent Sales Tax. Yup! That’s right! And for DSA — which in the past four years has invested more than 10,000 volunteer hours and contributed more than $550,000 back into the community — the power of the penny also makes possible: • streetscape enhancements in the Historic Downtown area, including flowers on Main Street and promotional banners; • sponsorships including Third Thursday Street Festival, Sheridan Farmers Market and Downtown Promotional Committee • the updating and maintaining of the Historic Downtown Master Plan as needed • bringing consultants and speakers to Sheridan on an as-needed basis • publication of the Historic Downtown Walking Tour brochure • coordination with other organizations involved with Historic Downtown including the Public Arts Committee, the Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce, the Wyoming Department of Transportation, Streetscape Advisory Committee and Sheridan Travel and Tourism. I think we can all agree that whether you live in the Sheridan city limits or in another part of the county, downtown Sheridan provides a wonderful place to shop, dine and simply enjoy. Be sure to keep our little gem shining. Vote “yes” on the Optional One-Cent Sales Tax. Enjoy the rest of Sheridan’s beautiful autumn.

The Secret Casualties of Iraq’s Abandoned Chemical Weapons For Republicans, saying no to Obama may be enough on Election Day I t sounds like the beginning of a joke: Two libertarians and a corporate lobbyist walk into a social hall . . . On Wednesday, though, this very scenario happened in Ashland, Va. Three Republican politicians shared a stage, and one of these things was not like the others. There was Rand Paul, ophthalmologist turned senator and 2016 presidential hopeful, a tea party darling who would like to strip big government right down to its skivvies. There, too, was David Brat, seminarian cum economics professor who gained national fame for defeating Eric Cantor in a primary by portraying the House majority leader as a Washington insider who was too liberal on immigration. The longtime Brat friend who introduced him to the crowd said that “he is divineDANA ly inspired to represent the entire 7th District.” MILBANK And finally, there was Senate candidate | Ed Gillespie, longtime political operative and founder of an eponymous lobbying firm that represented, among others, Enron. He’s more the embodiment of the Washington establishment than Cantor ever was. Here’s the punch line: The three got along just fine. “I see unity,” proclaimed Paul. Of course he did. The trio went to painful lengths to cover over divisions. “One thing I love about Dave is he’s for term limits, and so am I,” Paul said of Brat. At this, Gillespie pointed to himself. “And Ed as well,” Paul added, caught off-guard. If Gillespie supports term limits, he’s been awfully silent about it. His spokesman didn’t respond to questions about when he had taken such a position. The men papered over their differences because of one overriding and unifying goal: to inflict as much damage as possible on President Obama and his agenda on Election Day. “People ask me what’s the worst thing Obama’s done, and it’s a long list,” Paul said. “Impeach Obama!” somebody in the audience shouted. “It’s the president’s absolute disregard for the Constitution,” Paul went on. “It’s the usurpation of power.” “Treason!” somebody else in the audience shouted. Brat smiled; the others ignored the accusation. Paul went on to accuse Obama of “a form of tyranny,” adding, “This is everything we must rise up against.” That antipathy toward the unpopular president more than any single issue is what is propelling Republicans to likely gains in November. A CBS News poll found that 31 percent of registered voters see the election as a way to raise objection to Obama, while only 18 percent see it as a way to affirm Obama. That’s nearly as bad as it was for George W. Bush in 2006 before major Democratic gains. Republicans are so confident of anti-Obama sentiments that they aren’t making an effort to present an alternative agenda, the way they did with 1994’s “Contract With America” or 2010’s “Pledge to America.” The Republican National Committee drafted only vaguely worded “principles” (“Our Constitution should be preserved, valued and honored”). Wednesday’s event for Brat (who is likely to win) and Gillespie (who is not) required particular agility by the performers to promote togetherness. Brat won his primary by claiming Cantor supported amnesty; Gillespie had been a promoter of comprehensive immigration reform. Paul has made it his priority to open the Republican Party to minorities and youths, but of the few hundred people in the hall in Ashland, only two non-white faces were visible among the older crowd — and the event was to promote the election of the man who had ousted the lone Republican Jew in Congress. Gillespie, in pinstriped suit-pants over his loafers, wore a frozen grin as Brat promised “much less of the crony Wall Street connection up there in D.C.” Gillespie, a political appointee in Bush’s White House, seemed to distance himself from himself when he vowed to keep “political appointees in Washington, D.C.,” out of health-care decisions. So eager were candidates and attendees for unity that they even applauded Paul, dressed in blue jeans and cowboy boots, when he spoke out for shorter drug sentences. Their speeches included scattershot references to Obamacare, regulations, taxes, energy, school choice, veterans, the military, China, judges and Ebola. But promises to block the other side’s agenda inspired the most enthusiasm. Based on the crowd reaction, Brat’s best case for Gillespie was that “we need him to be a check on all of President Obama’s destructive policies.” Gillespie’s best case for himself, measured by the standing ovation, was that he could “make Harry Reid the former Senate majority leader” — and stop the Democratic incumbent, Mark Warner, from voting for Obama’s agenda. “We just saw recently President Obama said basically that his policies are on the ballot this year — every single one of them,” he said. Saying no does not an agenda make, but for Republicans in 2014, it may be enough.

A6 THE SHERIDAN PRESS PAGE SIX www.thesheridanpress.com SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2014 TODAY IN HISTORY | HEALTH WATCH | Breast cancer awareness O ctober is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time when the focus turns to health and wellness for women. In keeping with the spirit of women’s health, all women are invited to use this positive momentum to take stock in all aspects of their health and wellness. Initially, this task may seem overwhelming, perhaps as overwhelming as cleaning out a closet and exchanging clothes and accessories for each season. While there is no real way to make the actual closet cleaning easier, there is a way to make it easier to organize the accessories that make up health and wellness. Start with the small things, as they are what make the biggest difference. Start with the BAGS AND SHOES of WENDY health. WOOD NEESON | B: Breast Exam — Baseline mammogram starting at age 40 and yearly after. Clinical breast exam starting at age 20 and every one to three years after. Good self breast awareness, all ages. A: Attitude — Emotional health and relationships. You can check this yourself, but you can also visit with your primary care provider about where you are and where you want to be. Are you happy? Do you feel safe and respected in your relationships? G: Gynecological Health — Starting at age 21, a pap smear, and then every three years. Starting at age 30, human papilloma virus co-testing may be added. Abnormal results have special management guidelines, which should be discussed with your health provider. S: Scope — Screening for colon cancer. Generally, screening for colon cancer should begin no later than age 50 and repeated every 10 years. There may be some alternatives and some special circumstances such as family history which may warrant earlier or more frequent screenings. A: Abnormal Appearing Skin Lesions — Check yourself monthly. The most important warning sign for melanoma is a new spot on the skin or a spot that’s changing in size, shape or color. If you have any of these warning signs, have your skin checked by your health provider. N: New Relationships and Sexually Transmitted Infection Screenings — Annual chlamydia/gonorrhea screening for all sexually active individuals age 25 and under, as well as those over 25 who have new or multiple sex partners. Anyone who shares IV drugs should get tested for HIV at least once a year and may need other tests. D: Diabetes Screen — Diet and exercise evaluation. Starting at age 45 women should be screened for diabetes at least every three years. A body-mass-index is a test that can also be done in an office and it calculates height and weight to determine obesity, which is a risk factor for diabetes and heart disease. This test should be done annually. S: Smile — Dental health. Twice a year dental cleanings and checkups. H: Heart Health — Heart health includes many aspects. Blood pressure should be check annually starting at age 18. Cholesterol should be checked at least every five years beginning at age 20. Waist circumference, BMI and family history can be reviewed to determine if other tests or screenings need to be performed. O: Osteoporosis Screening, Bone Density Screening — Starting at age 65 women should be screened for osteoporosis with a DEXA scan. This non-invasive scan looks at the density of the bone to determine risk for fractures and need for early treatment of osteoporosis for prevention. E: Eyes — Starting in childhood, the American Optometric Association recommends a comprehensive eye exam every two years until age 60, and then annually thereafter. S: Shots and Immunizations — There are many immunizations needed throughout childhood. As adults, we often forget that there are recommended immunizations and boosters as well. Influenza, pneumococcal, zostavax (shingles), HPV, tetanus, hepatitis A and B are just a few. Discuss your personal needs with your primary care provider. There are many factors such as personal and family history that may change these guidelines slightly for each individual. A yearly discussion with a primary care provider is important to determine which screenings are appropriate for each individual. There is no substitute for a medical office visit, but by taking stock in BAGS AND SHOES, women will be taking great strides in screening, prevention and wellness.

(AP) — A funeral is planned in North Carolina for the daughter of a slave who had a complicated relationship with the Confederacy. The Saturday service for 91-year-old Mattie Clyburn Rice is being arranged by a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. A color guard of Confederate re-enactors will attend the service as will members of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, to which Rice belonged. Rice’s father, Weary Clyburn of Lancaster County, South Carolina, went to the Civil War with his master, saved the man’s life and drew a pension for his wartime service.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2014 www.thesheridanpress.com THE SHERIDAN PRESS A7 North Dakota well leaking oil, gas and water WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) — Authorities say workers are attempting to contain an out-of-control oil well in North Dakota. North Dakota regulators announced Friday that a well near Watford City in the western part of the state has been leaking oil, gas and water since Thursday. But they say there’s no immediate health risk. The well is owned by XTO Energy Inc. Regulators say a mechanical problem at the wellhead is being blamed for the problem. Officials say inspectors were at the site Friday. They were working with the company to control the leak. Authorities say about 300 barrels of oil and water have been contained and recovered at the well location. Regulators say an undetermined amount of mist left the well location. Inspectors are working to determine where it went.

CORE: Developed by state education experts in U.S. FROM 1 Every candidate who spoke on the topic stated that they support the standards and believe there are a number of misconceptions circulating in the public about it. During the September Sheridan County School District 3 board of trustees meeting, discussion was held among the trustees stating they would like a message to be sent to the state Legislature that they support Common Core, and do not want to see it repealed. Fears were expressed that some candidates for public office are saying they would repeal, if elected, and that a repeal of the standards which the district has worked so hard to implement would cost them a substantial amount of money, and time, to replace. Sheridan Junior High School Principal Mitch Craft presented to the Sheridan County School District 2 board of trustees earlier this month an evaluation of Common Core, developed in partnership with instructional facilitator and 2013-14 Wyoming State Teacher of the Year Mick Wiest. He believes the majority, if not all, of the areas of the standards people say they disagree with are not actually part of Common Core at all. "We have standards, curriculum and assessments and I think the national debate, in my opinion, is really just based on misunderstanding of these terms," Craft said. So, what are the Common Core State Standards? By definition, they are a framework that articulates levels of attainment in knowledge and skills that K12 students should achieve in English language arts and mathematics. What does that mean? What Common Core is and what it isn't One of the common concerns expressed over Common Core is that it is an example of federal government overreach to an area that should be controlled at a state level. Much of this thinking stems from the misconception that the standards are part of the No Child Left Behind Act. On the contrary, Common Core was a state-led initiative from the beginning, developed by chief state school officers and governors of 48 states in conjunction with independent organizations such as the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices, and is in no way connected to NCLB. As an additional measure of state control, Common Core allows for each state to add to the standards up to 15 percent. For example, Montana has a strong emphasis on Native American education and has added a standard regarding such to their CCSS. Another concern frequently voiced is that the standards play to the lowest common denominator in the nation, causing some states to lower their standards. On the contrary, the creators benchmarked the standards to those of the highest performing states in the U.S., as well as the highest sons selected by districts, schools and teachers to help students learn the standards). The Common Core standards do not dictate the specific curriculum that is to be used in the classroom to reach the benchmarks of the standards. However, by providing teachers nationwide with a standard benchmark by grade level, learning can be consistent by concept across an increasingly mobile society. "We have kids moving in and out of our schools all the time," Craft said. "They're moving from far away or the district next door, and I can tell you that right now when they move from far away our alignment isn't even close." The alignment also allows for more accurate compari- Where was this information obtained and where can I learn more? • "Beyond the Rhetoric: Improving College Readiness Through Coherent State Policy" by the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education, and the Southern Regional Education Board • The Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ascd.org) • Common Core State Standards (corestandards.org) • Foundation for Excellence in Education (excelined.org) performing countries in the world. The standards have even been adopted by Massachusetts, which many feel had the highest existing state standards in the nation prior to Common Core. Creators focused their benchmarks on the desire to reduce the need for remedial courses at the collegiate level while increasing global success. "None of us like reading the newspaper every year after the PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) ranks come out and seeing that the U.S. is ranked 30-something again," Craft said. "These standards are designed to remedy that situation over time, to make sure we can compete on a global scale." Critics also bemoan the idea of the government telling a teacher how to teach his or her own class. Yet teachers from across the nation were involved in the drafting of the standards, and the standards do not dictate curriculum. Some people often confuse the terms standards (an agreed-upon list of concepts and skills we expect students to learn) and curriculum (the materials and les- son of our state's achievements to that of others. "The PAWS does not equate in any way, shape or form to any of the assessments given by any of our neighboring states in this region or any other assessments given across the country," Craft said. "We flat out cannot compare how we're doing compared to other states with these assessments." When it comes specifically to reading, some communities, including Sheridan, have expressed concern that the reading list contains books they do not find appropriate for their children to be reading. The suggested readings in the standards were selected as pieces that represent the concept being learned at each grade level, but as the standards do not dictate curriculum, teachers, districts and even parents have the ability to take their community's sensibilities into consideration when deciding what books will be present in class, and no one is required to use the suggested readings. Along those lines, many opponents do not like the shift in the reading focus away from fiction and narrative. "There is a move away from reading and writing stories, and a move toward things that are more technical and appropriate for reallife applications," Craft said. "It doesn't abandon narrative reading and writing all together, it just places a lot more emphasis on functional writing, such as you would encounter in the workforce." The change in focus has led to two additional fears: that elective education will diminish and that instructional resources will continually need to be repurchased to remain aligned. "A lot of districts ran out and spent tons of money on curriculum that came out about 10 minutes after the Common Core State Standards were released that had the big stamp on it, 'Common Core aligned,' and they weren't aligned at all," Craft said. "So there's been a lot of money wasted, and it's developed a lot of skepticism because districts have run out and purchased things before they really knew that it was aligned." He added that SCSD2 did not do that, and also does not intend to allow elective programs to suffer. Today, 43 states have voluntarily adopted the standards, which are designed to ensure that students graduating from high school are prepared to take credit bearing introductory courses in two- or four-year college programs, or enter the workforce. "They are more rigorous and quite frankly they include a lot of really important things that were not included in prior Wyoming standards," Craft said. "It's just a list of the stuff we want them to learn. There's really nothing scary about it." Charter the Sheridan Trolley! Add a touch of nostalgia to your event!

Judge George O’Toole Jr. also denied a request to dismiss the indictment against Tsarnaev over defense concerns about an underrepresentation of African-Americans and people over the age of 70 on federal juries. Tsarnaev, 21, is accused of carrying out the April 2013 bombing, which killed three people and injured 260. Tsarnaev’s lawyers argued that the warrants authorizing searches of his family’s apartment in Cambridge and his dorm room at the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth weren’t specific enough and that some items were improperly seized. They also challenged the search of Tsarnaev’s Yahoo email accounts and said authorities improperly used the fruits of those searches to later search his Gmail accounts. O’Toole rejected Tsarnaev’s arguments. Both prosecutors and the defense declined to comment on the judge’s ruling. Tsarnaev has pleaded not guilty to 30 federal charges and could face the death penalty if convicted. Prosecutors say he and his older brother, Tamerlan, planted twin pressure-cooker bombs near the marathon’s finish line. Tamerlan was killed in a shootout with police three days after the bombings. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was found hiding in a boat parked in a yard in suburban Watertown. His trial is scheduled to begin in January. Charges possible in a Minnesota priest abuse case ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — A Minnesota prosecutor said Friday that charges may be brought in at least one case of alleged sexual misconduct by a Catholic priest, and that a case involving allegations that Archbishop John Nienstedt improperly touched a boy remains open despite an earlier decision not to charge him. Ramsey County Attorney John Choi said those are two of three St. Paul cases that remain open, while seven other cases of alleged sexual misconduct involving eight Catholic clergy members will not be prosecuted for various reasons. He also told reporters that his office is also still investigating a fourth case, from a St. Paul suburb. Choi said he declined “solely because of the statute of limitations” to prosecute three recently reported cases from the 1970s and 1980s that his staff has formally reviewed. He said the laws in place at the time required that charges be filed within three years of an offense. Choi said his office also informally reviewed four cases involving five priests that police had closed. Two priests suspected of abusing the same victim in one of those cases had died, there was not enough evidence to prove one case and investigators could not identify the suspects in the other two cases, he said. The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis has been under fire for the past year since a former church official went public with her concerns about how local church leaders handled abuse cases, and the scandal generated several new reports to police. The archdiocese announced a settlement earlier this week in a lawsuit that claimed it created a public nuisance by failing to warn parishioners about an abusive priest. The settlement includes new measures to keep children safe and undisclosed financial terms. Prosecutors are bound by statutes of limitations applying to criminal sexual conduct, Choi said, but they’ve been loosened in recent years so victims shouldn’t feel discouraged from coming forward even if they were abused long ago. “This does not mean that we don’t believe the victims and we don’t believe other victims that are out there,” he said. “We want them to come forward. Sharing their story is really going to be helpful to our overall investigation and also to the public so that they can better understand the gravity and the scope of what’s been going on within the archdiocese.” Nienstedt issued a statement saying the archdiocese is cooperating with law enforcement, victims and their attorneys to hold those responsible accountable and help heal those who’ve been hurt. “Regardless of whether criminal charges are filed, I believe survivors and victims have suffered tremendous damage because of the actions of the clergy who abused them. I am profoundly sorry for their pain, and pray that they and their families will find healing,” the archbishop said. The prosecutor declined to go into much detail about the three open cases because they remain under investigation. He said one involves alleged abuse that “happened a long time ago” in which the statute of limitations probably won’t apply so charges remain possible. Choi said his decision from last March not to charge Nienstedt remains in place. The archbishop has denied an allegation that surfaced last December that he inappropriately touched a boy during a public photo session after a confirmation ceremony in 2009. “However,” Choi said, “there are aspects to that case that we’re still pursing ... and so that will remain open.” Choi said the third open case involves his office’s decision in January not to charge archdiocese officials with failing to immediately report allegations of abuse committed by the Rev. Curtis Wehmeyer, who pleaded guilty in 2012 and was sentenced to five years in prison. One lawsuit alleges the officials waited too long between when they confronted Wehmeyer in 2012 and when they called police, giving him time to destroy evidence. “Some additional information came to light and there are some other issues that we’re still following up on,” Choi said. In one of the three cases formally declined for prosecution, according to a memo Choi released, a man told police he was groped in 1984 when he was 12 by a deacon in his neighborhood for whom he did lawn work and odd jobs. He said he never told anyone until he called to police last November. The suspect denied to police in April that anything sexual had happened between them, the memo said, but police saw a letter in the suspect’s file with the archdiocese indicating the man engaged in mutual masturbation with a young male prostitute in 1983. вЂ�Regardless of whether criminal charges are п¬Ѓled, I believe survivors and victims have suffered tremendous damage because of the actions of the clergy who abused them. I am profoundly sorry for their pain, and pray that they and their families will п¬Ѓnd healing.” John Nienstedt Archbishop of St. Paul and Minneapolis In another case, according to a different memo, a man called police last October and said he had been abused by a priest at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in 1981, when he was 17. He said the priest kissed him repeatedly and ground his body back and forth over his pelvic area. And in the third case, another memo said a man told police last October a priest from a parish in St. Paul Park touched his penis in the sauna at a YMCA in 1976 or 1977, when he was between 16 and 18 years old. The suspect told police he didn’t remember the incident or the youth. The suspect said in a deposition in a civil case that he had engaged in inappropriate conduct with several youths, though he didn’t identify this particular person. The suspect is also on the archdiocese’s list of “credibly accused” priests, the memo said. Sept. 11 compensation fund pays out $551 million NEW YORK (AP) — An official at the September 11 Victim Compensation Fund say it has paid out $551 million over the last year. The fund’s special master, Sheila Birnbaum, released a letter Friday saying the fund had made 2,042 compensation decisions over the 12 months that ended Sept. 30. Birnbaum says the fund had made 112 decisions totaling $27 million in the previ- ous year. She says the fund was able to process far more decisions because of an increase in staffing and better communication with those making claims. The fund was established in the wake of the 2001 terrorist attacks to provide compensation for those affected. Sunday was the deadline to apply for compensation for those who developed cancer after working at ground zero. Delivery as low as $108 a year!

Held died Oct. 6, 2014, at home with his loving family around him. He was the beloved husband of Melinda (Sweet) Held. Barry was born Nov. 5, 1931, in Brooklyn, Dr. Barry T. N.Y., the son of the late Tillie (Taylor) and Held Julius Held. He graduated from Hamilton College in Clinton, NY, and the State University of New York (Downstate) Medical School in 1956. Dr. Held did additional fellowship training at Yale University School of Medicine, embarking on a long, distinguished medical and academic career. An appointment to the radiology staff at Roosevelt Hospital in 1962 was followed by his nomination as chairman of the radiology department at Booth Memorial Hospital in Queens, NY in 1966, (now New York Hospital) a position he maintained to 1992. He thus became the youngest appointed chairman of a major radiology department in the United States. And as such, Barry Held achieved senior clinical faculty rank in radiology at both New York University Medical Center and Weill Cornell University Medical College in New York city. In his long professional career, Dr. Held served the American College of Radiology as National Advisor for Accreditation and Standards of Radiologic Care to hospitals and institutions. He is also past president of the New York Roentgen Society and former member of the National Board of Medical Examiners and American Board of Radiology. In addition to serving his specialty, Dr. Held had a major educational impact training at least one generation of younger radiologists during his long career. Mentoring young physicians by example, imparting his wisdom gently and effectively, insisting on the highest ethical standards, Barry encouraged best practices and humane values by his students. Dr. Held and his wife, Melinda, are 30-year residents of Sharon CT. And since 2000 they have enjoyed the home they built together in Sheridan Wyoming on the Bird Farm Road. As an amateur photographer since his late teens, his camera was never far from hand. His travel photography included destinations such as Antarctica in 2009 with the Hotchkiss School Expedition to Antarctica. His love of photography was greatly enhanced when he served on the Yellowstone Foundation Board with his wife Melinda. In addition to his wife, he is survived by his daughter, Patricia Grunebaum and her husband, his daughter-in-law Sharon; stepdaughter, Elizabeth Dowling, and her husband, a stepson, Howard Clinton Sweet and his wife, and seven grandchildren, Sebastian, Annabel and Charlotte Grunebaum, Emily and Grace Dowling and Adam and Lila Sweet; he was predeceased by his son, James.

Chances are the five-time MVP will break Favre’s NFL record for most career touchdown passes Sunday night, however, when the Denver Broncos (4-1) host the San Francisco 49ers (4-2). Manning has 506, two shy of Favre’s mark, and he’s averaged an NFL-best 2.89 TD throws per game since coming to Denver in 2012. Manning said he only wants to have more points than the 49ers do when it’s all over. “That’s what I’ve concentrated on, trying to do whatever it takes to win,” he said. Manning said he wouldn’t mind seeing Ronnie Hillman run for four touchdowns against San Francisco. That would be a shocker, though, because the Broncos have just two running TDs this year to go with Manning’s 15 TD passes. “Always impressive,” 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh marveled. “Whenever he takes the field, he’s just great all the time and that speaks volumes for the player that he is and continues to be. Just keeps doing it and doing it and doing it. Great. Great with a capital вЂ�G’ at the highest level.” Last week, Jets coach Rex Ryan heaped similar praise upon Manning, calling him “the best offensive coordinator in the league. He just happens to be playing quarterback, and a Hall of Fame quarterback at that.” Favre told The Associated Press he’s thrilled Manning is about to roar right past him and maybe approach 600 TD tosses by the time he joins him in retirement. After all, Manning reached 500 in his 244th game, 49 fewer than it took Favre.

Plus, they recently flattened Buster Posey and his Giants. So how come this bunch that’s rapidly become a fan favorite all across the country isn’t the favorite against San Francisco in the World Series? “When I look at the Royals, I see a team on a terrific run. There was magic on their side, where everything they did went absolutely right,” said Las Vegas oddsmaker Johnny Avello, head of the sports book at the Wynn. “But I don’t get into the вЂ�darling’ stuff,” he said Friday. “I have to encompass everything and figure out who’s the better team, and that’s the Giants.” We’ll see what’s next in this tight, tense postseason starting Tuesday night when the seasoned Giants visit the fresh Royals at Kauffman Stadium. A pair of teams with dominant bullpens, the talent to make tremendous catches and a touch for grinding out key runs. Both of them wild-card teams, too. Of course, come this late in October, no one is really a wild card anymore. Reigning NL Championship Series MVP Madison Bumgarner, former World Series MVP Pablo Sandoval and Giants manager Bruce Bochy are aiming for their third ring in five seasons. At 39, Tim Hudson is headed with them, going to his first World Series. A four-time All-Star with 214 wins, he left his longtime home in Atlanta and signed with the Giants last November. Hudson was swayed by an intangible that he’d seen from the other side — San Francisco’s knack for playing especially well at this time of year. “They know how to win when it matters. There’s something different whenever this team gets in the playoffs. They know what buttons to push. They know what guys need to do in certain situations. That’s all that matters,” Hudson said. “That’s why I’m playing, that’s why I’m here, that’s why I decided to come to the Giants,” he said. Already 8-0 this postseason, the Royals are back in the Series for the first time since George Brett and Bret Saberhagen helped them win it all in 1985. There were a lot of lean years in the interim. Giants reliever Jeremy Affeldt, the winning pitcher in the NLCS clincher Thursday night against the Cardinals, played for Kansas City from 2002-06 — the Royals lost 100 games in three of those seasons. “Well, I’m sure there’s a lot of excitement,” Affeldt said. “There’s a lot of people that have been fans for a long time in that area and been waiting to see this since 1985.” “When I played there, I think they thought they were overdue then, and that was, I don’t know, seven, eight years ago,” he said. “There’s going to be some energy in that stadium. And they have remodeled it ... it’s pretty impressive to see the amount of blue in these seats during those games.” SEE WORLD SERIES, PAGE B2 SHERIDAN — Sheridan College men’s and women’s soccer teams both saw defeat on the road Friday afternoon. The Generals took on Otero Junior College at 1 p.m. and started the first half strong, but in the end fell 4-1. With only eight minutes left in the first half the men gave up two quick goals, including a penalty kick, and failed to capitalize on some key opportunities. “We had a couple of opportunities — fast breaks, counter attacks, we had one that just missed it but the goalie got a little fingertip on it and pushed it off,” head coach Jeff Hallenbeck said. “We had some good opportunities in the first 20-30 minutes and just couldn’t finish, but so did they.” In the second half Sheridan’s goal was scored by sophomore midfielder Sergio Rios but in the end the team lost with the same score they saw against Otero earlier this season. Hallenbeck said regardless of score, goalie Jack Morris played very well. “He may have given up a few goals, but he made a lot of good saves,” he said. Freshman Cesar Garcia and sophomore Corbin Shriner also had their game faces on and offered strong performances. The Generals will play their last game of the season tomorrow at Trinidad at 4 p.m. “We need to play a very good game and play smart and we’ll be OK,” Hallenbeck said. “They beat us 2-0 at our place so we’re looking for our final game to go out strong, and if we play a good game I think we’ll do well.” The Lady General’s soccer team saw an unprecedented shortage of starters due to medical emergencies and struggled through the end of their 6-1 match with Otero. “It was kind of a frustrating game,” head coach Stefan Skillman said. “We had a medical emergency we had to attend to just before the game, so it was fair to say the players were definitely affected by that.” Five starters were missing from the lineup Friday afternoon, forcing players to play tough and be adaptable. “The positive of the situation was some players who don’t always get some playing time got to play more,” Skillman said. “One of the girls said she learned something new about her position, so that’s good. It’s just one of those situations, things we can’t control happen, and we have to keep our head up and push through.” The goal for Sheridan was scored by Alexis Lewis off a corner kick in the 88th minute of the game. Freshman Hannah Caiola, Big Horn High School graduate, stepped up to fill multiple different positions during the game. Goalie Kaitlin Conley had at least 25 saves, said Skillman, and sophomore Celena Kelly played a well fought game. The women will play their last game of the season tomorrow at 6 p.m. and Skillman said he suspects it will be another uphill battle. “Usually you have one or two get knicked or knacked but this was the first time we’ve had to face something this impactful this season,” he said. “On the plus side Courtney Stratton was out for a bit with an injury and it was good to see her start to look like herself again, and for the most part, moral-wise, I think the girls are doing alright, keeping their heads up and trying to enjoy the trip together as a team.” B2 THE SHERIDAN PRESS www.thesheridanpress.com SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2014 MANNING: Looking to make NFL history FROM B1 BLAINE MCCARTNEY | WYOMING TRIBUNE EAGLE Sheridan cross country Sheridan's Xiomara Robinson makes her way along the trail during the Class 4A East Conference cross country meet Friday afternoon at Prairie View Golf Course in Cheyenne. Cross country results will be printed in Monday’s edition of The Press. WORLD SERIES: Can the Royals take the series? FROM B1 Affeldt and the Giants got a close-up at these Royals in August, getting swept in a three-game series at Kansas City. Gordon homered twice in the series, outfielder Nori Aoki threw out two runners in an inning, the Royals stole seven bases in a game and they beat Bumgarner, Hudson and Tim Lincecum. “It doesn’t matter what it was,” Royals manager Ned Yost said Friday. “This is a whole different ballgame now. This is the World Series. This isn’t a three-game series in August.” Yost, by the way, grew up in the Bay Area rooting for the Giants. Even though they met two months ago, there’s not a lot of history between the teams. They faced each other only twice in spring training in Arizona, and the Royals haven’t played in San Francisco since 2005, back when Barry Bonds was the biggest name in town. Closer Greg Holland, Mike Moustakas and the Royals will be at AT&T Park for Game 3 on Friday night. It was 25 years ago that an earthquake minutes before Game 3 rattled Candlestick Park and postponed the World Series between the Giants and Oakland Athletics. The Series shift means no designated hitter in the NL park, costing Royals DH Billy Butler a spot. Yost spent most of his career in NL, coaching in Atlanta and managing in Milwaukee. “It’s a fun style. I’ve never really managed two styles in one series,” Yost said. “It’s a different type. There are a lot more things that are involved.” Heat win first game of preseason, beat Warriors KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chris Bosh scored 21 points and Luol Deng and Shawne Williams added 19 each to help the Miami Heat win their first game in the preseason with a 115-108 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Friday night. Trailing 103-102 with 5:16 left, Mario Chalmers hit a 3pointer to give the Heat (1-4) a lead. Shabaz Napier added a 3-pointer 30 seconds later to extend the lead and give the Heat the victory. Klay Thompson scored 27 points to lead the Warriors (41) while David Lee added 22 points. It was the first loss in the preseason for Golden State. Former Kansas Jayhawks star Brandon Rush, who plays for the Warriors now, exited the game early due to spasms. “I’m not surprised, as well as he’s been playing for so many years,” Favre said. Manning isn’t the only QB great Favre admires in Denver. He said GM John Elway deserves plenty of credit not only for luring Manning to the Broncos but for surrounding him with a terrific supporting cast. Tight Julius Thomas leads the league with nine TD catches. Demaryius Thomas had a franchise-best 226-yard game two weeks ago. Emmanuel Sanders is averaging 95 yards and Wes Welker just became the most productive undrafted wide receiver in NFL history. Favre compared this group to the one Manning had in Indy — Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, Dallas Clark and Marcus Pollard — that combined to catch more than half (257) of Manning’s TD passes. “I think Peyton has that type of cast there in Denver,” Favre said. “Now, he won’t play nearly as long there as he played with the Colts, but he does have an excellent, young cast. Who do you doubleteam? I mean, my goodness, I have no idea.” If Manning doesn’t get the record Sunday night, he’ll go for it four nights later against the Chargers. Other things to keep an eye on Sunday night: DIFFERENT STROKES: This game features a study in extreme contrasts at quarterback. The Broncos have the quintessential drop-back passer in Manning, who has minus-7 yards rushing to go with his 1,530 yards passing. The 49ers have multi-threat quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who threw for 343 yards and three TDs against St. Louis last week and has added 242 yards rushing, a 5.3yard average. “I hope there’s a place for the drop-back quarterback,” Manning said. “At least for a couple more years.” TERRIFIC THOMAS: Nobody in NFL history has more TD catches through five games than Julius Thomas, who credits his growth this year in part to some friendly advice from Tony Gonzalez, the NFL’s most accomplished tight end before retiring this year. It’s sure paying off as Thomas is halfway to breaking Rob Gronkowski’s single-season record for touchdowns by a tight end (17 in 2011). “He’s probably going to break that,” Gonzalez said. “But how is he going to keep improving? I hope that’s what he takes away. He’s just getting started and he’s got another six to eight years to dominate this league and he can become a legendary type player.” LLOYD RETURNS: Brandon Lloyd, who caught an 80-yard touchdown pass just before halftime against the Rams last week to kick-start the 49ers’ 31-17 comeback victory, is returning to the city where he had the best year of his checkered career. Lloyd caught 77 passes for 1,448 yards and 11 TDs in 2010 with Kyle Orton at quarterback. “His body control was off the charts,” Broncos offensive coordinator Adam Gase recounted. “I’ve never seen anybody that was able to adjust to throws the way he does, and he made the most of his opportunities no matter who was at quarterback.” LOSING THEIR LINEBACKERS: The Broncos lost weakside linebacker Danny Trevathan to a broken left leg last week. It was the second time in two months their top tackler from a year ago fractured a bone near his left kneecap. He’s out until midDecember. The 49ers took a hit, too, last week when Pro Bowl linebacker Patrick Willis suffered a toe injury. AMERICA’S TEAM: It’s not just Manning’s pursuit of Favre that will have fans tuned in Sunday night. When Denver defensive end DeMarcus Ware was released by the Cowboys last winter, he said goodbye to America’s Team. Or did he?

(AP) — Brad Keselowski says it’s “unfortunate” that Tony Stewart got caught up in the incidents at Charlotte, but that he’s not dwelling on “all that garbage.” NASCAR fined both drivers for their behavior on the track before other tempers flared outside the cars. Keselowksi was fined $50,000 and Stewart $25,000. Stewart backed into Keselowski’s car after Keselowski inadvertently ran into him from behind while the entire field headed toward pit road. Keselowski also had post-race run-ins with Matt Kenseth and Denny Hamlin. Stewart has faced increased scrutiny since the Aug. 9 accident that killed sprint car driver Kevin Ward Jr. Several news outlets focused on Stewart, but Keselowski said he felt Stewart shouldn’t have been dragged into it. Penguins’ Dupuis returns to ice after incident PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Penguins forward Pascal Dupuis skated on Friday, barely 12 hours after being taken off the ice on a stretcher during a loss to Dallas. Coach Mike Johnston said the 35-year-old forward “looked fine” while going through some conditioning work for trainers. Dupuis did not participate in practice but Johnston said there’s a chance Dupuis could return to the lineup on Saturday night when the Penguins face the New York Islanders. “All signs are real positive this morning,” Johnston said. Dupuis was cross-checked in front of the net by Stars defenseman Alex Goligoski in the second period Thursday night and hit in the neck or upper-back area by teammate Kris Letang’s shot from the point while he was down. Dupuis got up on one knee before clutching his arm and lying back on the ice. He complained of numbness in the arm but gave a thumbs up to the crowd as he was taken to the trainer’s room and was able to meet with his teammates afterward. “It’s scary when you see that, you don’t know what’s happening,” Penguins captain Sidney Crosby said. “I saw him after the game and knew he was good. I’m happy to hear that obviously.” Dupuis has once goal and three assists in Pittsburgh’s first four games. He missed the second half of the 2013-14 season after tearing the ACL in his right knee. “You’re thinking to yourself it’s never good to see that but especially a guy who’s been what he’s been through lately,” Crosby said.

OZ & ROIZEN Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Michael Roizen MARY WORTH by Karen Moy and Joe Giella BORN LOSERВ® by Art and Chip Sansom GARFIELD by Jim Davis If you've ever wondered what your doc is scribbling in your file or entering into a computer during your medical appointment, you're not alone. More than 90 percent of us want to see our doctors' notes. In fact, millions of American health-care consumers now do. Seems there's been a little revolution brewing. The big news? The revolution is making consumers healthier. The success of a groundbreaking new open medicalrecords program has both of us cheering. The program gave over 13,500 patients in three big health systems -Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, Geisinger Health System in Pennsylvania and Harbor View Medical in Seattle -access to their doctors' notes for one year. The patients couldn't wait to read their charts; up to 92 percent checked 'em at least once. The results were amazing: --Up to 85 percent said they had a better understanding of their health and medical conditions. --Up to 87 percent felt more in control of their health care. --Up to 72 percent took better care of themselves. --Up to 78 percent did better with taking medications. --Up to 42 percent shared the notes with a close friend or family member (a great way to get support and encouragement for staying healthy). --99 percent wanted to keep seeing their charts after the study ended! The docs were enthusiastic, too. Many said their patient relationships were better, with more trust, better communication and stronger partnerships for good health. All of the docs opted to make their notes available to their patients after the study ended. Now this breakthrough is rolling out across North America. The Cleveland Clinic (where Dr. Mike is in charge of wellness), Milwaukee's Columbia St. Mary's Health System, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Penn State Hershey Medical Group, Kaiser Permanente Northwest and other health systems are making doc notes and medical records available to any and all of their patients through electronic media. (The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has been sharing its records with patients since 2009.) In August, the Canadian Medical Journal called for open doc notes, too, urging an end to the "hoops and speed bumps" that leave patients waiting nearly three months (and footing the bill for paper copies) for info that's rightfully theirs. In the U.S., health-care consumers have had the legal right to see their doctors' notes, along with lab test results and other info in their medical files, since 1996 (earlier in some states). But while it's been easy for docs and even insurance companies to peek at this oh-so-personal info, patients were stymied by lots of red tape and copying fees. Some even had to sue to see their files! The story's frustratingly similar in Canada, where a Thunder Bay woman's discovery that it would cost her $617 to see copies of her records made nationwide headlines last summer. So if you don't already have access, ask your doc if you can see YOUR notes -- and the rest of your medical records. Then do this: No. 1: Look for and correct errors! An accurate record could save your life in the emergency room, not to mention avoid confusion in your regular care in the future. No. 2: Keep track of your meds and test results. Having an up-to-date list of the drugs you take is on our list of the smart habits of highly effective health-care consumers; so is knowing your health metrics, like blood pressure, blood sugar, LDL cholesterol and results of other tests, too. No. 3: Doc not ready to go public with his notes? Show him this column. And point him to www.myopennotes.org, the website of the Open Notes study, for important info about sharing medical records with patients. Be patient. Docs may need to change the way they make notes so you don't misunderstand their shorthand ("S.O.B." means "short of breath," not that he doesn't like you!). Together you can feed the revolution. DEAR ABBY Pauline Phillips and Jeanne Phillips FRANK & ERNESTВ® by Bob Thaves WOMAN OBJECTS TO ACCUSATION THAT SHE'S A 'STATUS DIGGER' DEAR ABBY: I have been seeing "Tony" for a few weeks. He is kind, caring and will make a great boyfriend, husband and father someday. REX MORGAN, M.D. by Woody Wilson and Tony DiPreta ZITSВ® by Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman DILBERT by S. Adams ALLEY OOPВ® by Dave Graue and Jack Bender My problem with him is he thinks I'm a "status digger." (It's similar to a gold digger, but he means I care only about someone's standing in the community.) His rationale is based on my friendships. I come from a privileged background. While some acquaintances in my circle are spoiled and superficial, my close friends and I are not. Because I grew up here, it was only natural I'd date guys from a similar background. While I was not opposed to dating outside my social circle, the opportunity never presented itself. Abby, I have never measured a guy because of his position in society. The thought never occurred to me. I admit I would probably be more inclined to date someone from a similar background because that's what I'm familiar with, but I don't think this makes me a social climber, status digger or elitist. How should I address this with Tony? I'm afraid our relationship will end if he can't see me for who I really am. -- JUST ME IN HOUSTON DEAR JUST ME: Tony may come from a blue-collar background. Because he perceives you and your friends as having had so much given to you, he may feel inadequate, so he's putting you on the defensive by accusing you of being solely interested in social status. Of course, that's stereotyping, and it isn't fair to you. Because someone comes from inherited status/wealth there is no guarantee that it won't disappear. That's the reason some women prefer self-made men to those from a privileged background. You and Tony should have a frank talk. When you do, suggest that before he assumes any more preconceptions about you are true, he should get to know you -because if he doesn't, he will miss out on someone who is not only very nice, but who thinks HE has a lot to offer.

Dear Heloise: I keep a cardboard oatmeal can near my dryer. When I remove the LINT FROM THE DRYER, I place it in the can. When the birds return in the spring, I place some of it in small, empty tuna cans, and put them around the yard or in a tree, where the birds can get it for their nests. -- R.E. in Nebraska Backyard birds are our friends, and they are just lovely to watch! However, this old and very common hint is no longer safe. All bird experts tell us NOTto use dryer lint. Dryer lint is made of fibers (many man-made) from material, and may have detergent or softener residue, which is not good for our feathered friends. If you want to help birds out, set out natural materials, such as human or animal hair, twigs, moss and leaves. Now I have a good use for Chammy's (our silken wheaten terrier) and my hair that collects in our brushes. -- Heloise P.S.: Next is a brilliant bird hint. I'm watching my hummingbirds right now! HUMMINGBIRD HANGOUT Dear Heloise: I have noticed that hummingbirds like to sit and watch over their food supply. I made a hummingbird swing of my own with a metal clothes hanger. I bent the middle of the clothes hanger upward, toward the hook on top, to make two loops, and hung it over the feeder. They love it! -- Shirley Davis, Lisbon, Ohio PET PAL Dear Readers: Jordan Gray sent a picture, via email, of a friend's German shepherd, Anya, lying in the grass enjoying the sunshine. Jordan says that Anya is protective and loyal, but also as sweet as they come. To see Anya's photo, go to my website, www. Heloise.com, and click on "Pets." -- Heloise FRUIT STAIN Dear Heloise: I bit into a Heloise beautifully ripe strawberry, and juice dripped down the front of my favorite sweater. Can you help? -Wilma, via email Don't stress over a strawberry stain! Dampen the sweater (if it's washable, of course) with cool water, and rub a drop or two of liquid laundry detergent into the spot (from the back of the sweater), then wash. Do not put it in the dryer. Check the stain, and treat again if it's still there. The next time this happens, try to dab the spot with cold water to help dilute the juice. More maddening stains? Want to know how to save that shirt? Just send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Stain Guide, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Stains are going to happen, so be prepared! Remember, to prevent pilling on sweaters, wash them inside out. -Heloise PICKLES NON SEQUITUR Casper, WY Location We are looking for good people!!

Bridge START AT TRICK ONE TO REACH TRICK 13 Bill Bryson writes humorous books on travel and science. He said, "I always tell people there's only one trick to writing: You have to write something that people are willing to pay money to read. It doesn't have to be very good, necessarily, but somebody, somewhere, has got to be willing to pay money for it." In bridge, there is only one trick to winning: You have to find a line of declarer play or defense that works. It does not have to be mathematically very good, but something that succeeds. However, if you constantly make second-best plays, you will lose in the long run. So try to play accurately. In this deal, South pushes SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2014 Phillip Alder himself into seven notrump. What should he do after West leads the heart jack? North might have rebid two no-trump, but support with support is a reliable policy. And South's last bid was a slight gamble, but North rated to have decent diamonds for his opening bid when he had only one ace and one king. South has 13 top tricks: one spade, two hearts, four diamonds and six clubs. But since the diamond suit is blocked, that is true only if he has an entry to reach the diamond ace-queen. Declarer must win the first trick in his hand with the heart ace, cash the diamond king-jack, play a heart to dummy's king, and discard his spade losers on the diamond ace-queen. If South wins trick one on the board, he had better hope that West discards a diamond while the clubs are run.

SATURDAY or retirement planning when you have some personal time on your hands in the week ahead. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You can check out, but you can't leave. Daydreams might take up much of your time in the week ahead. Some of your ideas may be applicable to financial success in practical ways, but some are simply farfetched. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Something good can come from a simple act of kindness. Go ahead and grant someone a favor even if you feel they don't deserve it. You could be asked to make an important commitment of time and energy this week. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Turn the ordinary into the extraordinary in the week ahead. You may be amazed at what you can accomplish if you set out without preconceived notions. With Venus in your sign, romantic relationships can take top priority. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Turn wounds into wisdom. You can move past hurts and humiliations if you put them behind you and use them as inspiration to do better. In the week to come several people will offer you flattering and positive feedback. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Benefit from good advice. In the upcoming week, you can gather wisdom from traditional sources and use it to your advantage in financial and business planning. You may be inspired to look for more opportunities. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by those you did. The fact is, you don't have to do them all right now. Hold off launching crucial plans until the end of the week. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Winners compare their achievements using the measuring stick of their goals, while losers compare their achievements to those of other people. You can stash away money like a squirrel this week to reach financial goals. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If you don't know where you stand with someone, perhaps you should quit standing and start walking. By the end of the week, you should receive clear signals about whether a romantic prospect is worth your time and effort. IF OCTOBER 19 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Work hard to find ways to use your energy and initiative in constructive ways during the next 4-6 weeks. Consider running your personal life in the same efficient manner in which you handle your career or business responsibilities. Don't begin anything crucial until after the end of November when you can put your business savvy and street smarts to good use. Your best month to initiate plans or start something of great importance is next May, when Lady Luck smiles on everything you do and you have your best chance to achieve security. $899,000 MLS 14 - 698 Saturday 11-1 PM October 18th 10:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. 1511 Mydland Rd. #77 Cyndee Jacobson 11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. 2569 Big Horn Ave. Matt Westkott NEW LISTING 2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. 11 Spur Lane – Parkman Matt Westkott NEW LISTING 15 Deer Haven Dr. $795,000 MLS 14 - 646 Saturday 2-4 PM Kristin McFaul 752-9577 Broker/Owner 45 E.

This birthday gal has portrayed Jasmine Trussell on "Parenthood" since 2010. She's also appeared on episodes of "Love Bites," "Entourage" and "ER." On the big screen, Bryant has had roles in films such as "About Last Night," "Hit And Run" and "Bobby." Bryant has also worked as a model for several major brands. ARIES (March 21-April 19): Focus is on finding your way to a fine future. Be concerned about achieving long-term goals and set aside money to make your future secure. Don't be extravagant about spending on personal items in the week to come. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Think big. Big thinking precedes great achievement. You don't need to limit your ideas even if putting them into motion may take time and energy. A partner might not be willing to give you the go ahead in the upcoming week. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Ask for forgiveness and you will be forgiven. Get a disagreement straightened out before it undermines your future prospects. In the week ahead, concentrate on making dreams a reality and on improving your most cherished commitments. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Every hour that passes takes you an hour closer to what is yet to come. You might be smart to investigate your options for college Real Estate Jeraldine Saunders BIRTHDAY GAL: Actress Katie Featherston was born in Texas on this day in 1982. This birthday gal has played the role of Katie in four "Paranormal Activity" films and will reprise the role for a fifth time in 2016. Her other film work includes "Psychic Experiment" and "Mutation." Featherston also co-starred in the short-lived 2012 horror series "The River" and appeared in the web series "Act-Anon." ARIES (March 21-April 19): Know when to speak and when to maintain silence. Romantic partners are easily influenced by your words. You must fight against a tendency to take drastic measures where your home life or career is concerned. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Relax and let go of a know-it-all attitude. There's no need to waste your time in a debate over personal opinions that can never be proven by facts and figures. You can dazzle higher ups in the career or job arena. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The information highway might not have all the answers. This might be a good day to rely on your own resources and intuitions. You and a special someone might be on different wavelengths for a few hours. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Hum along in harmony with others if you don't know the words. Be tactful when you aren't sure of the facts. Examine the fine print before you sign anything of importance. Work can be tackled with a cre- ative flair. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If you think the sky's the limit, you must have limited imagination. You can't build anything without an idea and you should not let your ideas be limited by what you see others do. Focus on being the best. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Pay attention to those "in the know." Use someone in your family as a sounding board for financial decisions. There's much to be learned from anyone who's well versed in a subject and has a lot of experience. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The simplest solutions may solve the most difficult problems. You could be fretting over hardships when you could easily resolve the situation by using simple, sound principles. Sidestep unnecessary expenses. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Remember that it's your attitude, not your aptitude, that will determine your altitude. You may be ambitious and want to make key changes so you rule your own world. Tackle your goals with a positive outlook. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Remain hooked into a solid core of optimism. Reach into your inner being to make wise choices now so that you'll be set on automatic whenever you're tempted to indulge in unwise investments or romances. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Iron out misunderstandings on the home front immediately. Someone who thinks you're exerting too much control could be downright rebellious. Keep a close watch on your pennies so you have something extra for the weekend. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Remember the tale of the blind men who came upon an elephant. Each one found a separate part and thought it dictated the whole. If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Set your sights on beneficial and worthy goals. If you're focused on making all your dreams come true you won't be distracted by passing fancies. Apply yourself diligently to tasks, then unwind with a loved one tonight. IF OCTOBER 20 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: During the next 6-8 weeks, you have energy and vitality that can be put to good use in any business or financial venture. In December, keep a low profile, start nothing of crucial significance, and pay close attention to your obligations. By January, the cosmic weather is more favorable for making headway with career and romantic aspirations. The answer to your prayers might drop right in your lap in late May or June, so use that time wisely and launch crucial plans or ask for favors while the cosmos smiles on your efforts. You'll shine brightest in social situations during May and June, when groups, clubs, teams, or community organizations might value your input and participation. 101814Legals_Layout 1 10/17/14 4:07 PM Page 1 YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS | CITY John Heath Mayor 307-675-4223 Public Notices SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2014 NOTICE OF FORECLOSURE SALE Kristin Kelly Councilor 307-673-4751 Shelleen Smith Councilor 307-461-7082 Robert Webster Councilor 307-674-4206 Alex Lee Councilor 307-752-8804 Jesus Rios Councilor 307-461-9565 COUNTY Pete Carroll Treasurer 307-674-2520 Eda Thompson Clerk 307-674-2500 Nickie Arney Clerk of District Court 307-674-2960 John Fenn 4th Judicial District Court Judge 307-674-2960 Shelley Cundiff Sheridan County Circut Court Judge 307-674-2940 William Edelman 4th Judicial District Court Judge 307-674-2960 P.J.

Councilor Lee administered the oath of office to new Junior Councilors Adam Berry, Cameron Craft, Jacob Jahiel and Ann Lynam. Council welcomed the Junior Councilors to their positions and encouraged participation as topics arise. City Clerk/Interim Treasurer Badley informed the council of the change by Charter Cable to digital from analog signals which resulted in the change of the two local government access channels 12 and 22 being moved to channels 190 and 191 respectively. Interim Chief of Staff Adriaens provided a brief discussion on the uses of the optional one cent funds approved by voters in 2010 and the tax up for renewal this November. Mr. Adriaens then played a brief video that will be run on the government access cable channels along with other short informational videos. Council commented that the optional sales tax was instrumental in helping the community through construction projects, assisting worthy community groups, a substantial portion of the tax is paid by tourism and the voters decide if the tax shall be renewed. Mayor Heath explained the need for a motion to discuss the retail license issuance. Councilor Lee moved, seconded by Councilor Rios, to open discussion of how to address issuing the retail liquor license #20. Mayor Heath expressed the need to establish city policy and criteria before issuing the last retail liquor license. The delay in issuing the license, to the October 20 city council meeting, would be utilized to draft a resolution establishing the method to be used by the council on how the applications will be reviewed, answer a series of legal questions on how the licenses can be utilized and provide a fair opportunity for all applications to be submitted before any decision is made to issue the license. Mr. James Yates, Mr. Stephen Kuzara, Mr. Shawn Boyle all rose in favor of their applications to be approved by the council. Sheridan County Liquor Dealers representatives Connie Deutsch and Carol Davis urged the council on behalf of their organization for an opportunity to provide input on the selection process before the council makes any decision. Council approved the motion; voice vote, unanimous. Mr. Demchok addressed council on his concern about the city accepting volunteer help. Mr. George Neeson, representing Local IAFF 276, urged the council to approve a continuing contract for FY 2015. Mr. Neeson asked to revisit prior proposals, offered no additional proposals or new language, did not elaborate on any differences between the City and the Union and urged the council to prevent a costly arbitration scheduled for the later part of October. Councilor Smith reported on the recent Wyoming Association of Municipalities (WAM) Board meeting she attended where she was approved as a board member. Councilor Rios noted that Bethany Hamilton, the surfer that survived the shark attack in Hawaii, was speaking in town to the K-Life group and also welcomed the new Junior Councilors. There being no further business Council adjourned at 7:47 P.M. Publish: October 18, 2014. Sheridan County School District No.2.
