equally important, is the

creates traditional
Ukrainian Easter eggs
BY ALISA BRANTZ

SHERIDAN — Traditionally,
Ukrainian women prepared themselves for Pysanky decorating by
purifying their spiritual state of
mind for the entire day prior —
living peacefully, avoiding gossip,
being patient with family and
preparing a fine dinner.
Today, if you want to partake in
the art of Easter egg dyeing, you
probably just boil some eggs and
dip them in store-bought colors
with your kids. But some local
artists, like Betty Wendtland, prefer to maintain some of the
Christian traditions behind the
ancient art of egg decorating.
Pysanky are Ukrainian Easter
eggs decorated by writing designs
on dried eggshells with beeswax
and layering dye on the exposed
areas, working from light to dark.
Historically, the Pysanky were
decorated during Lent, as a
sacred event done at night, as no
one was allowed to watch the
women work on the eggs. They
believed this process transferred
the goodness of the household to
the designs and pushed away the
evil.
As many as 60 eggs would be
finished per household by Holy
Thursday and everyone in the
community then received an egg
for Easter. The Pysanky were also

GILLETTE (AP) — Next time NASA’s crawler transporter makes the 4.2-mile trip from the assembly shop to
the launch pad at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida,
the massive, lumbering 1960s machine will have new
capabilities and 88 new L&H Industrial logos engraved
into parts the Gillette company machined, installed and
tested.
Fifty years after the company first opened its doors,
L&H has tackled its biggest job to date and its first government contract, said Bill Schroyer, L&H’s project manager for the transporter rebuild.
“Just walking in the door was something,” Schroyer
said about working with NASA.
More specifically, NASA has tasked L&H to redesign the
lower rollers of the crawler, which carries the spacecraft
to the launching pad. The company’s work boosted the
machine’s carrying capacity from 18 million pounds to 24
million pounds, enough to allow the vehicle to carry
NASA’s new Space Launch System.

Wyoming population
reaches estimated
584,000 in 2014
CHEYENNE (AP) — Wyoming’s population
increased 0.2 percent over a year to 584,153 in July
2014, according to estimates released by the U.S.
Census Bureau.
The annual increase from July 2013 of 930 persons is the slowest increase since 2001.
After accounting for births and deaths, the estimated net migration indicates that nearly 2,200
more persons left Wyoming than moved into the
state between July 2013 and July 2014.
“Migration is mostly driven by changes in
employment, which is particularly true for
Wyoming,” said Wenlin Liu, principal economist
with state Economic Analysis Division.
People tend to move to areas where there are jobs
available and conversely may leave the area where
employment opportunities becomes limited.

SHERIDAN PRESS EDITORIAL |
Is Kobza a
leader without
followers?
S
heridan County School
District 1 Superintendent
Marty Kobza has reached a
point at which it no longer
matters if he’s good at his job.
On Tuesday, members of the
West Sheridan County
Education Association teachers
union told the district’s board
of trustees that a vote taken by
district employees showed a
lack of confidence in Kobza’s
abilities to lead them.
WSCEA President Shannon
Moline told the board that 65
percent of those eligible to vote
— everyone except for administrators — did so. Of those who
voted, Moline said a ratio of
two to one said they had no
confidence in the superintendent.
Reasons given for the sentiment have been vague —
morale, transparency, money
management. No specific examples of wrongdoing have been
cited, but the group has
expressed frustration along
with parents, that Big Horn
Middle School/High School
Principal George Mirich’s contract was not renewed.
Likewise, the school board
has done little to back its decision to renew Kobza’s contract
but not Mirich’s.
Due to laws protecting personnel issues, the true reason
for Mirich’s lack of renewal
may never be made public.
But the board should speak to
why they have put their faith in
Kobza. When the WSCEA and
others expressed concerns
Tuesday, the board should have
given specific reasons regarding why it has backed the
superintendent. Yet oddly, they
haven’t even discussed in public meetings the fact that Kobza
has been chosen as the northeast region nominee for
Wyoming Superintendent of
the Year by the Northeast
Superintendents of Wyoming.
Nobody seems to be in
Kobza’s corner. If the board
members had enough faith to
renew his contract, they should
explain in detail why. The
board members should not hide
behind superficial comments of
support for fear of angering
constituents who disagree. It
does little to reassure members
of the school district who are
unsure which side to believe.
Without his supporters going
to bat for him, though, Kobza
has a rough road ahead. With
morale low, it is difficult to get
educators and staff to focus on
moving forward. How do you
move forward under a leader
you don’t believe in? How do
you buy into a leader’s ideas if
you don’t support him?
You don’t. You get bogged
down in petty disagreements
bred by a lack of trust.
There is a saying that a
leader without any followers is
just a guy taking a walk. Unless
people start voicing their support for Kobza, his actions and
his policies, the superintendent
of the year candidate may end
up being a lone man wandering.

Grateful parent
Re: Proud of Arvada-Clearmont
schools
This week's ArvadaClearmont Spring Concert featuring Basque Heritage was a
pure delight.
I commend Mrs. Olson, the K12 music teacher for Sheridan
County School District 3, for
her ability to plan a unique,
lively and rich musical and
dance experience for our students. My heart swelled to see
my sometimes timid, 7-year-old
daughter singing and dancing
confidently in front of a
“packed house,” and Mrs.
Olson’s free-spirited participation showcased how she builds
this confidence in the classroom while she teaches a history and culture that gives our
area its flavor.
The audience clapped along,
Basque people in attendance
gave an impromptu fandango
demonstration, and everyone
was encouraged to “whoop” or
“holler” if they felt compelled
— more than a few did!
Additionally (and these words
are always overdue), I thank
our administrators and teachers in SCSD3. They have
worked tirelessly to keep parents informed regarding policy,
while continuing to provide a
safe and ambitious learning
environment.
When I sent my first child to
school for the first time, I was
overwhelmed by the responsibility that school staff carry
every day of their working
lives. Public school systems are
so “commonplace” today, but
shaping young minds is so powerful. How grateful I am to be so
proud of “my” school.

Disbelief, shock worldwide at
co-pilot’s role in Alps crash
FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Incredulity, shock, disbelief and horror.
Around the world, from leaders to pilots to victims’ relatives to ordinary people, the news that
prosecutors believe a 27-year-old co-pilot deliberately sent Germanwings Flight 9525 straight into
a French mountain produced a range of emotions.
French prosecutor Brice Robin said Andreas
Lubitz was alone at the plane’s controls and
“intentionally” flew the Airbus A320 into the
mountain Tuesday on its way from Barcelona to
Duesseldorf, killing all 150 people on board.
Here are some reactions:
“Today, news has reached us that gives this
tragedy a new, simply incomprehensible dimension ... this news affects me exactly the same way
as it probably does most people. Something like
this goes beyond anything we can imagine.”
— German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
“One person can’t have the right to end the
lives of hundreds of people and families.”
— Spanish factory worker Esteban
Rodriguez, who lost two work friends in the
crash and spoke of his “feeling of impotence, of
rage” at the news.
Lufthansa has “no knowledge on what have
might have motivated the co-pilot to take this terrible action.”
— Carsten Spohr, the chief executive of
Lufthansa which owns Germanwings.
“I gave this information to my colleagues immediately, and they were just as stunned as I was. I
told them it is much, much worse than we had
thought. It doesn’t make the number of dead any
worse, but if it had been a technical defect then
measures could have been taken so that it would
never happen again.”
— Ulrich Wessel, principal of Joseph Koenig
High School in Haltern, Germany, which lost 16
students and two teachers in the crash.
“Shocked by the latest details provided by
investigators.”
— Tweet from Spanish Prime Minister
Mariano Rajoy, whose nation had dozens of
Germanwings crash victims.
“I was feeling bad, because I personally knew
her and her mother. But now the most recent
news, which I read while eating, if it turns out to
be true, is of no help to the families.”
— Manu Navas, tennis teacher for one victim,
12-year-old Emma Solera Pardo, at Sant Cugat del
Valles, a town near Barcelona.
“Right now, I don’t think there’s anyone who
isn’t worried. We are not immune, none of us, to
this kind of thing. Flying is a safe form of transport, but you can’t stop crazy. If someone decides
to act in a crazy manner, there’s nothing anyone
can do about it.”
— Steve Serdachny, 45, who had flown in to
Helsinki’s airport from Toronto and was headed
for Moscow.
The co-pilot’s ability to crash the jet how he did
“does seem incredible in this day and age when
there are so many different levels of security and
safety checks and measures. How could a pilot
lock another pilot out of the cockpit?”
— Osmo Karppinen, a church janitor leaving
Helsinki’s airport with his girlfriend for a week
of vacation in Turkey.
“We are trying to understand what happened.
The family wants clear answers.”
— Eran Betzalel, the brother-in-law of Eyal
Baum, the lone Israeli victim of the crash.
Sweaty palms,
turning
stomach
I
’ve always slightly dreaded
any need for publicly speaking in front of large groups. I
do it anyway, and I get over it,
but it always makes me nervous.
My palms get sweaty, my
stomach turns a little and my
thoughts tend
to get a little
jumbled.
So when I
was invited to
be a part of a
panel about
the media
recently for
the current
EDITOR’S
class of
COLUMN
Leadership
|
Wyoming, I
Kristen Czaban
immediately
agreed and
then immediately became nervous.
The organizers of the session
sent an email with ideas they
hoped I and the other panelists
would talk about. I studiously
took notes, prepared an introduction and tried to remember
everything I was taught in public speaking class in high
school.
The whole “Imagine everyone
in their underwear” thing
never worked for me. It kind of
seemed creepy to me.
Make eye contact — but with
who? Do I look at the person in
the front row? Or should I
direct my attention further
back in the room? There just
always seemed like so many
things to remember beyond
just what you wanted to say.
That explains why my nerves
always seem to be on edge
when I have to speak publicly.
But I have this thing, you see,
about doing things that scare
the living daylights out of me. I
hate heights, but I really want
to go skydiving. I still peer out
over tall bridges and even
muster the courage to walk out
on those glass floors that
stretch out from city skyscrapers.
I don’t like to do these things,
naturally. You would think my
fear would lessen seeing as
though nothing bad has happened to me. But, it hasn’t; so I
continue to do the things that
scare me in hopes that some
day that fear will diminish.
Of course, I showed up at the
event Thursday — my heart
racing just slightly — and
essentially threw all of the
preparation I had done out the
window.
I’m not sure I referred to my
notes once. I knew what was in
them, of course, but it turned
out I didn’t need them. We
stayed on topic and discussed
some of the items that had
been on the list sent out by
organizers, but mostly we
responded to questions and carried on a conversation with
members of the audience. It
was great!
Once I realized there really
was no need for me to be nervous — about 10 minutes into
the event — my voice leveled
out, my thoughts cleared and
my palms were (mostly) dry.
I have another public speaking duty today. Maybe this time
won’t be so nerve-racking.

COMMUNITY PERSPECTIVES |
Signs of spring also mean signs of tourism season beginning
I
f the view from our office at the Welcome
Center is any indication, then the darker
tones of the grassland surrounding
Sheridan and the receding snow in the
Bighorns is a clear sign that spring is here —
and tourism season won’t be far behind.
This is great news for
those of us in the community whose businesses
depend on visitor-generated revenue, and Sheridan
is poised to realize another year of positive economic impact from
tourism in 2015.
Since the beginning of
SHAWN
our fiscal year, (July 1,
BUCKLEY
2014), Sheridan Travel
|
and Tourism has collected
more than $516,000 in
gross lodging tax —
which represents a 16 percent increase versus last fiscal year at this time.
In January alone we collected over 238
percent more revenue than the same
month in 2014, which is more than 247 percent of the January monthly average.
These figures are incredible, but we’re
finding that to develop and sustain this
degree of positive economic impact we
have to maximize the efficiency of how and
where these dollars are allocated.
Some of these avenues are more traditional in their nature of marketing, and
some are more direct — especially in the
case of group tour operators and film production. Much of my year to date has been
spent traveling and working with our travel partners in person at various conventions, such as National Tour Association,
Regional Tourism Organization and the
GoWest Summit, as a means of attracting a
higher volume of group tours and conventions to the area.
Since we are one of very few Wyoming
communities represented on-site, it is a
tremendous asset to have not only our participation at these events but also the
resources necessary to ensure our group
travel clients and community partners
alike are working together to ensure a positive experience for everyone involved.
With that in mind, we recently acquired
the talents of Nicole Pearce as our new
Destination Development Manager. Nicole
has a wealth of experience in the hospitality industry and a strong familiarity with
Sheridan’s tourism market — especially as
it pertains to group tours and conventions,
and we look forward to the many successes
to come from her addition to our team.
We continue to actively pursue new film
projects as well, and I once again had the
opportunity to work side-by-side with Colin
Stricklin from the State Film Office at the
Association of Film Commissioners
International Locations show in Los
Angeles and South by Southwest in Austin
earlier this year. Both were excellent platforms in terms of showcasing Sheridan as
a stand-alone in a prominent film destination, and at the moment our office is
reviewing two production proposals that
are a direct result of attendance at these
shows.
One aspect of marketing tourism in
Sheridan that blurs the line between traditional and direct is the Welcome Center
where our offices are located.
This facility has historically served as an
information point complementary to the
offices of the Sheridan County Chamber of
Commerce, but it is literally in the process
of transforming into a full-service visitor’s
center — with the explicit purpose of driving traffic into Sheridan.
We found that over 48 percent of the
105,000 annual welcome center visitors
have not made their lodging reservations
before they have arrived, and we look forward to better positioning the facility to
capitalize on this revenue potential for the
community.
Keep an eye out for more to come of this
exciting transition as we work towards
making the most of the upcoming tourism
season.
SHAWN BUCKLEY is the executive director of Sheridan Travel and Tourism.

The 2016 Republican racing form: First edition
ith Ted Cruz announcing and Rand Paul and Marco
Rubio soon to follow, it’s time to start handicapping
the horses and making enemies.
No point in wasting time on the Democratic field. There
is none. The only thing that can stop Hillary Clinton is an
act of God, and He seems otherwise occupied. As does
Elizabeth Warren, the only Democrat who could conceivably defeat her.
On to the GOP.
First Tier
1. Marco Rubio. Trails badly in current polls, ranking
seventh at 5 percent, but high upside potential.
Assets: Foreign policy looms uncharacteristically large
in this election cycle, and Rubio is the most knowledgeable
and fluent current contender on everything from Russia to
Cuba to the Middle East. The son of
Cuban immigrants, he can break into
flawless Spanish (so can Jeb Bush) and
speak passionately about the American
story in a party that lost the Hispanic
vote by 44 points in 2012.
Liabilities (in the primaries): His Gang
of Eight immigration apostasy, though
his current enforcement-first position
has wide appeal. Second, after Barack
CHARLES
Obama, will voters want another firstKRAUTHAMMER term senator with no executive experi|
ence? (Same for Cruz and Paul.)
Major appeal: Fresh, young, dynamic
persona is a powerful counterpoint to
Clinton fatigue.
Goes out at 3-1.
2. Jeb Bush. The consensus favorite (though I remain a
bit skeptical). Solid, soft-spoken, serious, with executive
experience and significant achievements as governor.
What he lacks in passion, he makes up for in substance.
And he has shown backbone in sticking to his semi-heretical positions on immigration and Common Core.
Obvious liability: His name. True, it helps him raise tens
of millions of dollars, but it saddles him with legacy and
dynastic issues that negate the inherent GOP advantage of
running a new vs. old, not-again campaign against Hillary.
Odds: 7-2.
3. Scott Walker. A fine record of conservative achievement. Has shown guts and leadership in taking on labor
unions and winning three elections (five if you count
proxy elections) against highly energized Democrats.
Good, rousing speech in Iowa, but has stumbled since,
flubbing routine questions on evolution and patriotism,
then appearing to compare the Islamic State to Wisconsin
demonstrators. Rookie mistakes, easily forgotten — if he
learns from them.
Pandered on ethanol and fired a staffer who complained
about Iowa’s unwarranted influence. Sure, everyone panders to Iowa, but Walker’s calling card is standing up to
pressure.
Most encouraging sign: ability to maintain altitude after
meteoric rise. Numbers remain steady. And his speeches
continue to impress.
Odds: 4-1.
Second Tier
4. Chris Christie. Some politicians have their one
moment. Christie might have missed his in 2012 when his
fearless in-your-face persona was refreshingly new. Over
time, however, in-your-face can wear badly. That plus
Bridgegate cost him traction and dropped him out of the
first tier. Biggest problem: being boxed out ideologically
and financially by Jeb Bush for the relatively-moderategovernor-with-cross-aisle-appeal slot. 12-1.
5. Ted Cruz. Grand, florid campaign launch with matching rhetoric. Straightforward base-oriented campaign. Has
developed a solid following. Could break out, especially in
debate. 15-1.
6. Mike Huckabee. Great name recognition, affable, popular. But highly identified with social/cultural issues —
how far can that carry him beyond Iowa and evangelicals?
15-1.
7. Rand Paul. Events have conspired against him.
Obama’s setbacks and humiliations abroad have created a
national mood less conducive to Paul’s non-interventionism. His nearly 13-hour anti-drone filibuster would not fly
today. Is trying to tack back, even signing the anti-Irandeal letter of the 47 senators. Strong youth appeal, though
outreach to minorities less successful thus far. Bottom
line: High floor of devoted libertarians; low ceiling in
today’s climate. 30-1.
Longer Shots
8. Carly Fiorina. Getting her footing. Given current
societal taboos, she is best placed to attack Hillary and has
done so effectively. Can she do a Huckabee 2008 and,
through debates, vault to the first tier? Unlikely. But
because she’s talented and disciplined, not impossible. 501.
9. Ben Carson. Polling high, but is a novice making
cringe-worthy gaffes, for example, on the origins of Islam
and on gay choice (“a lot of people who go into prison go
into prison straight, and when they come out, they’re
gay”). And not knowing that the Baltic states are in NATO.
Truly good man, brilliant doctor, great patriot. But not
ready for the big leagues. Chance of winning? Zero.
Others
Bobby Jindal, Rick Perry, Rick Santorum and John
Kasich — still below radar. If they surface, they’ll be featured in the next racing form.

Detoxification
diets
U
sing the term “detoxification”
is a turn off for many dietitians
and traditional health care professionals, as it is seen to
describe diet approaches that are not
evidence based.
This is too bad, because there are
many great detoxification programs
available that provide significant
health benefits. Really, detoxification is just a different way of looking at a healthy lifestyle.
Detoxification is
the ways in which
our bodies identify,
neutralize and
eliminate things
that are unhealthy
for us. Tailored

detox diet plan.
When evaluating
detox diets, there
are many questions to ponder.
What is your goal? If your goal
is to improve energy and overall
health, a detoxification diet may be
very helpful for you. If your goal is
primarily significant weight loss,
then detox diets are not for you.
This is because our liver detoxification systems require quite a bit of
energy to work well, so low calorie
diets are not ideal for good liver
detoxification support.
Does the plan help you identify
your potential toxin exposure? To
truly develop a tailored detoxification plan, you need to be able to pinpoint your toxin exposure and load,
as this helps determine the appropriate plan to make. We developed a
“Detox Decision Tree” to help this
process.
The University of Wisconsin
Department of Family MedicineIntegrative Medicine Patient
Handout on Detoxification lists
potential toxin sources as:
• anti-nutrients such as alcohol,
advanced glycation end products,
high fructose corn syrup and caffeine.
• normal metabolic by-products
including bile, urea, stool, carbon
dioxide and nitrogen.
• medications used improperly,
inappropriately or too often.
• heavy metals such as mercury,
arsenic, lead, cadmium and aluminum.
• chemicals including phthalates,
Bisphenol A, pesticides, herbicides,
cleaning products, solvents, glue and
tobacco products.
• allergens such as food, mold,
dust, pollen and chemicals.
• causes of infection including
bacteria, viruses, yeast and parasites.
• social, emotional and spiritual
challenges such as excess stress,
unhealthy mental states, distractions, over-stimulation, lack of spiritual connection, isolation, nature
deprivation and negative emotions.
Does the plan address the five
basic detoxification program
components?
These components are:
• exercise, every day, especially
outside.
• regular sweating, either with
your exercise or in a sauna or steam
room.
• healthy nutrition rich in organic
vegetables, legumes, fruit and water.
• self-reflection including meditation or breathing-focused relaxation.
• body work such as massage or
acupuncture.
Does the plan address and
honor your body’s natural detoxification systems? These systems
include the gastrointestinal system
and its accessory organ, the liver. It
also includes the kidneys, skin,
lungs, lymphatic system, circulation
and brain health.
Whether detoxification means
increasing your exercise and water
consumption or decreasing your
alcohol and stress, a well-developed
plan can be helpful for most.
Researching the many detoxification programs out there in the last
18 months, some of my favorite

Swedish poet Tomas
Transtromer dies at 83
STOCKHOLM (AP) — Swedish poet and
Nobel Literature Prize winner Tomas
Transtromer has died at age 83, Swedish
publisher Bonniers said Friday.
The reclusive, mild-mannered wordsmith
— considered a master of metaphor and
one of the most important Scandinavian
poets of the post-World War II era — died
Thursday after a short illness said
Bonniers spokeswoman Anna Tillgren.
In famous collections such as the 1966
“Windows and Stones,” Transtromer used
imaginative metaphors to describe the
mysteries of the human mind. His work
has been translated into more than 60 languages and influenced poets across
Europe, the Middle East and the Americas.
In 2011 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in
Literature.
Transtromer’s works were characterized
by powerful imagery that explored the
mysterious sides of everyday life with little embellishment, and the focus on simplicity was also mirrored in the way he led
his life.
Working as a psychologist in Swedish
state institutions, Transtromer (TRAWNstroh-mur) wrote his poetry during
evenings and weekends and stood out for
his unpretentious demeanor. He preferred
to stay away from the public eye and largely avoided the political debates that
engaged many of his contemporaries.
The poet stopped writing after suffering
a stroke in 1990 that left him half-paralyzed
and largely unable to speak. When he
received the Nobel, aged 80, he had been a
favorite for the prize for so many years
that even his countrymen had started to
doubt whether he would ever win.
His most famous works include the 1966
“Windows and Stones,” in which he
depicts themes from his many travels, and
“Baltics” from 1974 about the democracies
and dictatorships surrounding the Baltic
Sea during the Cold War.
He published “The Sorrow Gondola” in
1996 with work that had been written
before the stroke and the “The Great
Enigma.”
Born April 15, 1931, Transtromer grew
up alone with his teacher mother in
Stockholm’s working-class district after
she divorced his father, a journalist. He
started writing poetry while studying at
the Sodra Latin school in Stockholm and
his work appeared in several journals
before he published his first book of poetry, “17 poems,” in 1954 to much acclaim in
Sweden.
He studied literature, history, poetics, the
history of religion and psychology at
Stockholm University and worked briefly
as an assistant at the university’s psychometric institution.
But he would spend the majority of his
professional life in the much less glamorous settings of state institutions in the
small Swedish towns of Linkoping and
Vasteras, where he lived in a terraced
house with his wife Monika, a nurse, and
their two daughters. He first worked at an
institution for juvenile offenders and later
at a state-funded labor organization, where
he helped disabled people choose careers
and counseled parole offenders and those
in drug rehabilitation.

EGGS: Depending on intricacy an egg can take up to 20 hours to complete
FROM 1
On Easter Sunday, the eggs were placed in
baskets outside the church at midnight
mass before being brought into the service
by alter boys in a joyous procession to be
blessed by the priest with holy water. The
eggs were exchanged Easter morning with
the brightly colored ones going to the
young, and the darker designs reserved for
older members of the community.
The Ukrainians believed that as long as
Pysanky are decorated, goodness would
prevail over evil in the world.
Wendtland is doing her part to spread
goodness in the world by following tradition, preparing Pysanky from Ash
Wednesday through Easter and
delivering them as gifts to
her
The original way of doing this was to just
let the egg dry out, but if the egg has any
flaws in the shell it could be exposed to bacteria and spoil.
Wendtland has dried eggs before, after
receiving a large batch of goose eggs to decorate from a friend.
“I put them in the back of the refrigerator and kept turning them and after several
months they became so dry that when you
turned the egg you could hear the yolk
rolling around in there,” she said. “Now I
blow them out.”
To blow the innards of the egg out without cracking the shell, a small tool is used
to insert a hole in the bottom and blow air
inside, forcing the contents out the hole.
The inside is then washed and
dried through the same
process.
flame and as it drips this beautiful design
appears,” Wendtland said.
A varnish is added to the finished product to protect the color from fading, but you
must be careful with these pieces of art as
nothing really protects them from breaking.
“There’s nothing there really, there’s just
that thin shell,” she added.
Now Wendtland is sharing her craft with
others through public demonstrations for
local children and senior citizens.
For the past seven years, she has led lessons on the art for the sixth-grade class at
priest, family and members of her congregation as gifts.
She learned the art 20 years ago from a
friend while living in Dubois and has been
mastering the craft annually since.
“I just enjoy making art and I particularly enjoy making Christ-centered art,”
Wendtland said. “I like doing these things
from a visual standpoint — I guess because
I am an artist I notice color and lines and
things — but when it can be connected to
my faith, so much the better.”
Unlike modern egg dyeing, this process is
not an easy, or quick, one.
Wendtland said depending on the intricacy of the design, the size of the egg and
how many colors are involved, one egg can
take from four to 20 hours to complete.
First, an eggshell must be prepared.
Next, a design must be created and drawn
on the egg in pencil and then the dyeing
process can begin.
A tool created for writing in wax called a
kistka is used to cover the portions of the
egg that should remain shell colored, and
then the first color of dye is applied. More
wax is added to the portions of the egg that
should remain the first dye color, and the
egg is dyed in the second color, and so on.
In the end, the egg looks like a messy,
lumpy wad of black wax, but then the egg
is placed next to a candle and the wax
begins to drip off. A cloth is used to wipe
away the wax as it melts and a multicolored
masterpiece is revealed.
“That’s the best part of the process
because you start with this kind of ugly
thing and as you hold it up against the

CODY (AP) — Authorities have filed
charges against three people in the death of
a 30-year-old man who was found decapitated in northern Wyoming last year.
Juan Antonio Guerra-Torres was found
dead on Jan. 9, 2014, along a remote dirt

UW hires new law school dean
LARAMIE (AP) — The University of
Wyoming has hired a new dean for its
College of Law.
Klint Alexander is currently an attorney
in a major Southeastern law firm and senior lecturer in international law and politics at Vanderbilt University and the
University of London’s Institute of
Advanced Legal Studies.
He will take over as dean on July 1.
With interests that include energy law,
utilities regulation and international trade,
Alexander has served in teaching and leadership roles at several major institutions,
including Yale, Vanderbilt and the
University of London.
Since 2013, he has been a member of the
global business team of the law firm of former U.S. Sen. Howard Baker.
In a statement issued through the university, Alexander says he hopes to bring a
multidimensional vision and approach to
the college.
Sweetwater County inmates
face drug charges
ROCK SPRINGS (AP) — Three female
inmates at the Sweetwater County
Detention Center face additional charges
after authorities say they possessed or had
used drugs while in the jail.
A detention officer was conducting a routine search of female inmates on March 19
when she found about 1.63 grams of
methamphetamine in a plastic baggie in
one of the inmate’s socks.
The Rock Springs Rocket-Miner reports
that all female inmates were subsequently
tested for drugs, and two others tested positive for methamphetamine.
Taking controlled substances into jail
carries a maximum possible penalty of
three-year imprisonment and a $3,000 fine.
All three remain in custody at the
Sweetwater County Detention Center.
Legislature funds new passing
lanes on Highway 59
CASPER (AP) — Highway construction
season will begin soon in Wyoming.
In the session that adjourned March 6,
the Legislature approved a supplemental
budget providing up to $17 million for new
passing lanes on state Highway 59 in the
Powder River Basin.
But some critics say more money is needed for the busy highway. And others say by
earmarking money to one particular project, the Legislature will delay other highway construction and maintenance projects around the state.
Wyoming Transportation Department
Director John Cox tells the Casper StarTribune that it’s not yet known which projects could be delayed because of the
Highway 59 project.
Hess Corp gives $15 million to
University of Wyoming
LARAMIE (AP) — Energy firm Hess

With the new donation, Hess has now
invested a total of $25 million in UW since
2013.
This makes Hess the single largest corporate partner in the university’s history.
Gov. Matt Mead and UW President Dick

Executive Officer John Hess and President
and Chief Operating Officer Greg Hill on

Hess’s $15 million commitment includes
$5 million for the High Bay Research

on unconventional oil and gas reservoirs,
$4.5 million for equipment and technology
and $500,000 for laboratory performance

The state will match $14.5 million of the

“I started doing it over there because my
grandson was in the sixth grade over there
and the children seemed to enjoy it so
much,” Wendtland said.
One lucky student even gets to take home

drawing give-away at the end of the demonstration.
But there is a lot more to the learning
than can be taught in a demonstration,
Wendtland added.
“There are several tools you need if
you’re going to do this; I usually order
online because there aren’t places close by
where you can get the supplies,” she said.
“I’ve got a video that I purchased at the

Gowdy: Clinton wiped email server clean, deleted all emails
WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton wiped
her email server “clean,” permanently deleting all emails
from it, the Republican chairman of a House
committee investigating the 2012 Benghazi
attacks said Friday.
Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., said the former secretary of state has failed to produce a single
new document in recent weeks and has refused
to relinquish her server to a third party for an
independent review, as Gowdy has requested.
Clinton
Clinton’s attorney, David Kendall, said Gowdy
was looking in the wrong place.
In a six-page letter released late Friday, Kendall said
Clinton had turned over to the State Department all workrelated emails sent or received during her tenure as secretary of state from 2009 to 2013.
“The Department of State is therefore in possession of
all Secretary Clinton’s work-related emails from the (personal email) account,” Kendall wrote.
Kendall also said it would be pointless for Clinton to
turn over her server, even if legally authorized, since “no
emails ... reside on the server or on any backup systems
associated with the server.”
Clinton, a likely Democratic presidential candidate,
faced a Friday deadline to respond to a subpoena for
emails and documents related to Libya, including the 2012
attacks in a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi that
killed four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador to
Libya.
The Benghazi committee demanded further documents
and access to the server after it was revealed that Clinton
used a private email account and server during her tenure
at State.
Gowdy said he will work with House leaders to consider
options. Speaker John Boehner has not ruled out a vote in
the full House to force Clinton to turn over the server if
she declines to make it available by an April 3 deadline set
by Gowdy.
Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, the top Democrat on
the Benghazi panel, said Kendall’s letter confirmed “what
we all knew: that Secretary Clinton already produced her
official records to the State Department, that she did not
keep her personal emails and that the Select Committee
has already obtained her emails relating to the attacks in
Benghazi.”
Cummings said it is time for Gowdy and other
Republicans to stop what he called a “political charade”
and instead make Clinton’s emails public. Gowdy also
should schedule Clinton’s public testimony before the
Benghazi panel as soon as possible, Cummings said.
Kendall said in his letter that Clinton’s personal attorneys reviewed every email sent and received from her private email address — 62,320 emails in total — and identified all work-related emails. Those totaled 30,490 emails or
approximately 55,000 pages. The material was provided to
the State Department on Dec. 5, 2014, and it is the agency’s
discretion to release those emails after a review.
Kendall said Clinton has asked for the release of all of
those emails. He said the State Department is reviewing
the material to decide whether any sensitive information
needs to be protected.
“Secretary Clinton is not in a position to produce any of
those emails to the committee in response to the subpoena
without approval from the State Department, which could
come only following a review process,” Kendall wrote.
Gowdy said he was disappointed at Clinton’s lack of
cooperation.
“Not only was the secretary the sole arbiter of what was
a public record, she also summarily decided to delete all
emails from her server, ensuring no one could check
behind her analysis in the public interest,” he said.

released Friday that aides
are working with the Boys

to invite kids from
Washington to join the children of White House

what it’s like to work at the

Broncs drop 1-0
heartbreaker
to Wolverines
BY MIKE DUNN
[email protected]
SHERIDAN — With the unseasonably warm weather the
stands filled with spectators, and with a new head coach
for the Broncs it was shaping up to be a perfect evening for
the Sheridan soccer squad to begin their season.
The outcome, however, was not nearly as pleasant.
The Broncs begin their season with a tally in the loss
column as they dropped a 1-0 heartbreaker to the Riverton
Wolverines last night in Sheridan. Worse still, the
Wolverines only goal came off of a penalty kick.
“This was a good indicator for us to see how we stand at
this point in the season,” rookie head coach Matt Johnson
said.
The game began with some tough breaks for Sheridan
near their opponent’s goal. Riley Session was on his way
to sending the ball to the back of the net on two separate
occasions in the first half before being denied by strong
goal keeping from Riverton. Dantae Crow also had a great
look in front of the goalie box before it was knocked away
by a handful of Wolverine defenders.
Both teams struggled with ball possession leading to a
stalemate for a majority of the game.
Despite battling the glare from the setting sun, keeper
Jess Edens had a fantastic first half with five saves.
However, the Wolverines drew a foul in the Broncs’ penalty area and easily drove in the game’s only goal.
“Giving up a goal on a (penalty kick) off of a foul is
tough,” Johnson said. “Without that, it’s a 0-0 game.”
The Broncs offense was just not clicking in the beginning part of the second half. Focused more on booming the

School.
ball up high and playing the ball on the bounce, the Broncs
weren’t able to find any type of rhythm. Johnson said his
team will need to stay away from that strategy in later
games.
A late offensive push was not enough for Sheridan.
Despite a handful of shots near the end of regulation, the
Cowgirls have big shoes to fill next season
LARAMIE (AP) — It’s rare that a
college basketball team doesn’t suffer
some attrition to graduation. But
some years are worse than others.
This is one of the “worse” years for
the University of Wyoming Cowgirls.
UW will graduate more than 3,000
points, 1,400 rebounds, 500 3-pointers
and 320 games played when Kayla
Woodward, Kaitlyn Mileto and Jordan
Sibrel leave the program.
That might seem like a daunting
task, to replace so much production.
But the cupboard isn’t exactly bare
for UW coach Joe Legerski and his
staff.
“Over my years we’ve had some
tremendous shooters, and (Mileto)
and (Woodward) go right into that category. It will be a great loss with the
points and experience,” Legerski said.
“Somebody’s still going to have to
shoot the basketball next year. The
experience factor might be a bigger
loss than the numbers that those two
put up.”
Wyoming finished 16-14 and tied for
fifth in the Mountain West standings
this past season. And it missed the
postseason for the second straight
year, a first for Legerski since his first
two seasons in Laramie.
As the record indicates, it was an
up-and-down year for the Cowgirls.
After a 5-5 nonconference schedule,

Sheridan High School.
the Cowgirls started MW play 2-5,
then rattled off wins in six of their
next seven before finishing the season
3-3.
That included a season-ending loss
to Fresno State in the MW tournament quarterfinals.
“Some nights we played very well
and everyone was on the same page;
other nights we didn’t have our best
game,” Legerski said. “In the end you
end up being a little better than .500.”
One player who brought her “A’’
game almost every night was junior 5foot-7 point guard Marquelle Dent.
She led the team and was third in
the MW in scoring at 17.3 points a
game. She was tops in the conference
in assists (6.2 per game) and second in
steals (2.2).
Dent’s points and assists accounted
for nearly half of UW’s offense.
“We saw the growth of (Dent) and
her game this season,” Legerski said.
“She really took charge of this team.
I’m very happy to have (her) coming
back. She’ll provide the leadership
this team will need.”
UW also returns 5-10 wing Jordan
Kelley as a starter. She moved into the
starting lineup in December when
freshman forward Bailee Cotton was
lost for the season with a knee injury.
Despite playing out of position most
of that time, Kelley was fourth on the
team in scoring (7.6 ppg) and second
in rebounding (7.0 rpg).
Look for her to slide back to her
more natural guard position next
year.
“(Kelley) seemed to be the glue that
held this team together at times,”
Legerski said. “By giving her the
opportunity to not play against 6-foot2 players all night long, that will be a
big plus.
“(She) made our offense move, and I
know she’ll work hard this summer to
be more of a scorer for us next year.”
The 6-2 Cotton started her first 10
games as a freshman before tearing
an ACL against Colorado on Dec. 21.
Before the injury she averaged 6.3
points and 4.9 rebounds.
Legerski said the team expects her
to be back to full strength when
school begins in September.
UW’s other returning player with
starting experience is 6-4 post Kaylie
Rader. She played in all 30 games for
the Cowgirls, starting 10. She was
sixth on the team in scoring (5.2 ppg)
and rebounding (3.3 rpg).
The Cowgirls no doubt are hoping
that this year’s heralded freshman
class can make the strides necessary
to contribute next winter.

Wall leads Wizards
past Hornets 110-107
in double-overtime
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Washington Wizards were on
the verge of watching a fourthquarter lead dissolve into a bad
loss for the second game in a
row.
Instead, they won a thriller.
John Wall scored seven of his
game-high 32 points in the second overtime, and the Wizards
held off the Charlotte Hornets
110-107 on Friday night.
Wall’s pull-up jumper with 9.9
seconds left made it 110-107, and
Charlotte’s Mo Williams and Al
Jefferson missed 3-pointers in
the final seconds.

“That’s the reason you want to be a
franchise guy,” Wall said. “You want to be
the leader of a team. I know at times I
didn’t get the ball in those situations. ... I
guess now I’m making them and shooting
them with confidence.”
Wall tied the game late in regulation
after Washington lost the six-point lead
they built midway through the fourth.
It was Wall’s second game in a row with
30-plus points, and the Wizards (41-32)
snapped a four-game losing streak two
nights after blowing a 10-point fourth
quarter lead to Indiana.
Washington reserve Drew Gooden finished with 15 points and 17 rebounds.
“You play me a minute, two minutes,
something’s going to happen, whether it’s
going to be a block, a steal, a charge. I’m
going to be active,” Gooden said. “You
play me 39 minutes, a lot of stuff ’s going
to happen.”
The 39 minutes were more than Gooden
played during the entire month of
January.
“Drew was huge and I just rode him,”
Wizards coach Randy Wittman said.
Washington outrebounded Charlotte 7261.
Bradley Beal, questionable after spraining his right ankle Wednesday, added 16
points.
Jefferson scored 31 points and grabbed
10 rebounds for Charlotte. Williams, who
was questionable with a sore left knee,
added 26 points and 10 assists.
“I think this loss is going to haunt us all
summer long, even when we do make the
playoffs.” Jefferson said. “This loss could
probably be the difference between the
eighth seed and the seventh seed.”
Charlotte (30-41), battling for the final
Eastern Conference playoff spot, has lost
eight of 10 and sits in 11th place.
“We put ourselves in a position here
tonight to win a game on the road, we
made a couple of mistakes late on plays
that need to be made and it cost us a
win,” Hornets coach Steve Clifford said.
Wall’s jumper tied it at 96 with 3.3 seconds left in regulation. Wall and
Charlotte’s Kemba Walker both missed
shots in the final seconds of the first
overtime.
Rasual Butler’s 3-pointer with 11.7 seconds left in regulation pulled Washington
within one at 95-94. Charlotte’s Jeffrey
Taylor made one of two free throws
before Wall tied it.
Williams’ 3-point attempt fell short to
end regulation.
Washington opened the fourth quarter
with a 13-3 run and led 88-82 with 7:14 left.
The Wizards then went cold, and
Jefferson’s dunk, the Hornets’ first field
goal of the quarter, tied it at 88 with 3:48
left.
‘That’s the reason you want to
be a franchise guy. You want to be
the leader of a team. I know at times I
didn’t get the ball in those situations. ...
I guess now I’m making them and
shooting them with confidence.’
John Wall
Point guard with the Washington Wizards
Williams’ 3-pointer put Charlotte ahead
91-88. After a turnover by Washington,
Walker’s two free throws put Charlotte up
95-91 with 14 seconds left.
TIP INS
Hornets: Split the season series with
Washington 2-2. ... F Cody Zeller (sore
right shoulder) missed his fourth straight
game.
Wizards: Signed G Will Bynum to a 10day contract and waived F Toure’ Murry.
Bynum was scoreless in three minutes of
action. ... F Kris Humphries (strained left
groin), G Garrett Temple (right hamstring strain) and C-F DeJuan Blair (personal reasons) were out.
WIZARD GRANT A WISH
Washington partnered with Make-AWish Mid-Atlantic to grant the wish of
13-year-old Wizards fan Nitin
Ramachandran of Herndon, Virginia.
Ramachandran, who is battling a form of
brain cancer, was signed to a one-day contract and took part in the team’s shootaround and pregame warmups.
Ramachandran was then introduced as
part of the starting lineup and sat with
Wittman during the coach’s postgame
news conference.
WATCHING WILLIAMS
Clifford said Williams will be monitored closely as he tries to play through
the soreness in his knee. “He’ll have, I
would think, limited practice time and
then we’ll have to gauge it from half to
half on just how his knee is feeling,”
Clifford said before the game. “If he feels
good, and he’s moving the ball, then we’ll
try to play him regular minutes.”
UP NEXT
Hornets: Host Atlanta on Saturday.
Wizards: Host Houston on Sunday.

MOVING CARDS
CHANGES CONDITIONS
This week, we have
looked at pairs of deals in
which a minor change in
the cards results in a major
variation in the right
declarer-play or defense.
Here is the last one. What
should happen in four
spades after West leads the
heart ace?
East raises one
heart to four hearts because
he knows that his side has
at least a 10-card fit and
does not have the normal
high-card values for game.
There is a saying
that a pre-emptive fourheart bid by one side is a
transfer to four spades for
the other side -- hence
South's overcall.
Yesterday, the
defenders' clubs were 3-2
and spades 4-1. Then, after
West began with two
rounds of hearts, the only
way home against best
defense was to discard a low
diamond from the South
Phillip Alder
hand, a loser-onloser play. Here,
though, South
must ruff the
second heart,
draw trumps,
and knock out
the club ace. If he makes
the loser-on-loser play,
West can cash his club
ace and give East a club
ruff. But how would West
know to do that?
On the second
heart, East will play his
lowest as a suit-preference signal. (East, with a
desire for a diamond
shift, would play his highest heart. With no preference, he would drop a
middle card.)
East should also
try to steer his partner
that way at trick one,
playing his heart three.
West, if confident that
East has five hearts for
his game-raise, should
realize that playing a second heart cannot help.
Reading the three as a
suit-preference signal, he
will cash the club ace at
trick two and lead another
club. In both of these scenarios, the later defensive
diamond trick defeats the
contract.

GARFIELD by Jim Davis
Proponents of BPA (the
ubiquitous chemical bisphenol-A) are fueling a science
war. To counter the growing
sentiment that BPA is harmful, chemical-industry lobbyists recently launched a
splashy advertising campaign
asking consumers to "listen
to the science" about BPA. We
agree! But why would proponents of something that is
now judged too toxic for pregnant mothers and babies tell
you to look at the science?
Well, let's look at the science.
Where it is found: BPA is
used to make strong, transparent plastics for food storage and packaging. It's in the
thin, slightly powdery coating on the thermal paper
used for most cash-register
receipts. It's used in the
epoxy resins that line most
food cans and in some fire
retardants in electronics.
What the chemical industry
says: The American
Chemistry Council is correct
that the Food and Drug
Administration and the
European Food Safety
Authority say BPA is safe at
the levels most of us are
exposed to.
What we say: The FDA and
EFSA haven't yet taken into
account a growing body of
research suggesting that even
at low levels, repeated exposure to BPA can change your
endocrine functions (BPA is a
hormone disruptor) and have
other long-lasting effects on
developing fetuses and
infants, as well as damaging
sperm quality. Other
research is even more troubling.
What nearly 100 human
studies have found: Everyday
BPA exposure is associated
with troubling and increasingly common health issues
such as behavior and reproductive problems; high blood
pressure; polycystic ovarian
syndrome; and weight-related
problems, such as diabetes.
--A brand-new study from
New Jersey's Rowan
University School of
Osteopathic Medicine has
found an association between
BPA levels in children and
risk for autism spectrum disorder.
--A recent lab study from
the University of Houston
found that exposure to BPA
used as flame-retardants in
computers, cellphones and
other electronics may be
linked to unwanted weight
gain.
--Another new study puts
the health-care cost of obesity related to BPA at more
than $1.5 billion dollars over
several decades.
Those who know agree:
When Newsweek recently
interviewed 20 prominent scientists who research BPA,
the majority said it's likely
the chemical is linked to all
of those health problems and
to several forms of cancer as
well, though more study is
needed. "There's too much
data consistent across studies
... time and time again ... to
ignore it and suggest BPA has
no effect on humans," one
researcher said.
How does BPA cause trouble? When it gets into living
cells, BPA is an endocrine
disruptor. Not only does that
mess with your metabolism
and lead to weight gain, it
also acts like estrogen and
may have a particularly
strong effect on fetal sexual
development. (It feminizes
male infants in many animal
experiments.) It also might
have an effect on brain development given its ability to
change the activation of
genes: Animal studies -- and
some research in children -suggest that it might increase
the risk for aggression and
anxiety.
Here's what YOU can do:
Although BPA is in many
products you're in contact
with every day, and alternative chemicals from the same
bisphenol family (bisphenol
B, C, E, F, G, M, P, PH, S, TMC
and Z) used in many plastics
labeled "BPA-free" may have
similar effects, these strategies can help you reduce your
exposure:
1. Don't heat/microwave
food or drinks in plastic containers. Heat speeds the
transfer of BPA from plastics
into edibles. Store food, especially acidic foods like tomato
sauce, in glass or uncoated
metal containers.
2. Say "no thanks" to
receipts, tickets and anything
else printed on thermal
paper. If you take one, wash
your hands. BPA may be
absorbed through the skin
and can hitchhike from your
fingers into your body when
you eat.
3. Eat fresh instead of
canned fruit. Ditto for veggies. Avoiding plastic food
packaging whenever possible
will reduce your exposure,
too.
Now that you've listened to
the science, do you think
glass will make a comeback?

wrong path since sixth grade.
She is what people call "emo."
She has attempted to end
her life more than once. She
has sex with lots of boys
older than her and has issues
with drugs and cutting. She
was abused until she was 5
and then adopted. She doesn't
seem to have any morals.
She says she wants to
become a serial killer and a
prostitute when she grows
up. She also wants to have a
baby in the near future. Leah
has borderline personality
disorder and probably some
others. I have tried talking to
her about what she's doing to
herself, but she sees nothing
wrong with her destructive
behavior.
I want Leah to get help
before she winds up raped, in
prison, or on death row, or
becomes a teen mother on
the streets. I don't want her
to become another number,
another statistic. What
should I do? Who do I call -the police, social services, a
hotline? -- SCARED FOR
LEAH
DEAR SCARED: Your
friend appears to be a very
troubled and angry girl. If
she thinks that by becoming
a prostitute or a killer she
will be able to assert control
in her life where she has
none, she's sadly mistaken.
You say she has borderline
personality disorder. If that's
true, it must have been diagnosed by a licensed psychotherapist. Frankly, I don't
think this is anything you
can -- or should -- handle on
your own.
If your mother doesn't
know what's going on, please
tell her so she can alert
Leah's mother and Leah can
return to her therapist.
However, if that's not possible, tell a counselor at school
what you have told me so
Leah can receive more treatment before she hurts herself
or someone else.

expenses 50/50.
Last week, he announced
that he has invited his sister
and her boyfriend to go along
and stay with us in the apartment we rented. Not only
was I shocked that he would
invite them without checking
with me first, I became upset
when he said he wasn't asking them to pitch in any
money. Normally I'm not
stingy when it comes to sharing, but I'm angry and I wonder if I'm overreacting.

Hints from Heloise
heavy snow? Check with
your car-care specialist to
change them to other tires
more suitable for the dry,
hot pavement of summertime. Snow tires typically
are less adept at stopping on
hot, dry (and rainy) roads.
Potholes, which can develop from
the roads freezing and thawing, can
wreak havoc on your car's suspension. You may need your wheels
aligned and rotated. This will help
with tire wear.
Stay on top of your tire pressure.
Learn to check the pressure, and
have a pro help you. Underinflated
tires can be very dangerous in the
heat. -- Heloise
VIDEO VOLUNTEER
Dear Heloise: I am on one of the
popular social-media sites, and I
Heloise
also am a huge animal lover and animal-adoption advocate. Lots of volunteers go into the shelters and
photograph the dogs and cats (and
other animals, like rabbits) that are
available for adoption, and post the
pictures so that they have a better
chance of being adopted.
What if the volunteers made
videos instead of still pictures?
You'd be able to see the animal's
mannerisms, size, activity level,
temperament, etc. Take the animal
outside, away from the cold bars
and the noise of the shelter, and
shoot a short video (about a minute
is enough) and post it on social
media. Let's empty out the shelters
and put these loving animals in
great homes! -- Elizabeth in San Antonio

of balls you can handle. An
imprudent need to be the
know-it-all of the business
world, or a focus on material gain, could interfere
with productivity or disturb a usually harmonious
relationship
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18): Even the most attractive path might have some
pitfalls. Subtle crosscurrents are at play, so pay attention to where you put
your feet. With financial
matters it's best to adopt an
attitude of "when in doubt,
don't."
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20): Don't go it alone. Share
your ideas, as well as your
passions. If you spend time
in public places you might
gain the attention of an influential stranger or meet
someone who could become
a friend. The more the merrier.
IF MARCH 30 IS YOUR
BIRTHDAY: For the next 4-6
weeks life should treat you
fairly evenly if you're
gullible and willing to believe that what you see is
what you get. Wishful
thinking could lead you
astray, so don't get caught
up in dubious investments
or romantic entanglements
that could needlessly complicate your life. New
friends or vacation plans
can dominate July. Your
shrewdness and business
acumen hit a peak in August that will help you attain your ambitions. Be
willing to accept the guiding hand of powers larger
and wiser than you during
September. Be alert for
valuable help from others
in the form of a job offer or
an opportunity for advance-

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):
Truth or consequences
could be the game of the
day. Those intriguing ideas
dancing around in the back
of your head are better left
alone. Don't start anything
right now of grave importance that requires shrewd
business skills.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Sugar is sweet and so are
you. This evening might
offer a perfect opportunity
for a reenactment of honeymoon bliss. Put strategic
ideas and business ideas on
the back burner and concentrate on ways to spend
quality time with loved
ones.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
Remain content with what
you have. You might wonder if you'd rather be a
small fish in a big pond or
the big fish in the small one.
The good news is, you don't
need to make that decision.
Focus on harmonious relationships
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.

but don't be tempted to dive
into a new business partnership.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): When you're happy

respond in kind. Give in to
the urge to do some frivolous shopping for personal
items rather than making a
risky investment.

Juliet Landau was born in

Juliet is the daughter of actors Martin Landau and

ARIES (March 21-April
19): You cannot be deterred
when you're driven and determined. Security and
comfort can be achieved
through hard work. However, you might be grasping
for straws in an effort to attain a secure position without effort.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20): Concentrate on pleasurable experiences and romantic moments. Your time
is best spent finding ways to
bring a smile to the face of a
beloved partner. Put business strategies aside until
better conditions prevail.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
The ends might sometimes
justify the means. Perhaps
you're a bit more ambitious
than usual or compelled to
employ cutthroat tactics.
You may be challenged to
take the time to reassess
what constitutes true happiness.

and Demonsr" and "Moulin
Rouge!" He also played ObiWan Kenobi in the "Star
Wars" prequel trilogy. He
earned an Emmy nomination for a guest appearance
on "ER" in 1997 and has
starred in London theatrical productions of "Guys
and Dolls" and "Othello."
ARIES (March 21-April
19): "Mind over matter"
means you can conquer material difficulties through
thoughtfulness. Put your
thinking cap on and tackle
intricate problems. Don't
miss an opportunity to confer with others, since two
heads are better than one.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20): A change of heart might
be just what the doctor ordered to cure your woes.
Problems in a relationship
or with authority figures
might evaporate if you
change tactics. Careful reflection may clear up a mystery or solve a riddle.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
There is light and laughter
at the end of the tunnel.
Some problems disappear
and a humorous discussion
might help you see another
situation from a different
perspective. You might
need a new outfit, a haircut,
or another personal treat to
lift your spirits.
CANCER (June 21-July
22): Roll up your sleeves and
prepare to dig in. Leave romantic banter to the sitcom
characters and maintain a
business-like demeanor.
Consistent efforts will pay
off if you don't become obsessed by something you
can't have.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If
you merely give an inch
you can gain a mile. While
it isn't wise to let your generosity overcome your common sense, you can yield to
reasonable requests. You
may be wiser than usual
and able to gauge future results accurately.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
You're batting a thousand.
Your good taste shows
where money or love is concerned. You have a discriminating eye and may find
the perfect "whatsit" while
shopping or a fascinating
new friend through work.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
Float on a cloud of optimism. Remind yourself that
prosperity and contentment
might be just around the
corner. It's important to
keep your eye fixed on longterm goals, even if shortterm objectives seem to
stand in the way.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.
21): An opportunity is only
as good as your willingness
to accept it and make it pay.
Someone must turn the paddle consistently to make ice
cream. The attractive carrot held in front of your
nose may be unattainable
unless you work hard.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Take pride in fulfilling promises. Be a man,
or woman, of your word. It
might require hard work
and diligence to live up to a
pledge or to honor commitments, but in the final
analysis you'll be glad you
did.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): Misunderstandings
melt away like snowflakes
on a hot summer day. Unravel the snarled knots that
have created a barrier between you and a significant
other. Your charm and
friendliness are assets to be
used in large doses.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18): If no one will pay the
piper, then it's time to
change your tune. Don't exaggerate your abilities or
offer false assurances. You
might be called upon to follow through on a promise
or to study something important.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20): Share your feelings.
Speak the magic words and
it's likely you will win the
support of a business ally or
the heart of a special someone. You can make a serious commitment to a cause,
a person, or a new project.
IF MARCH 31 IS YOUR
BIRTHDAY: You can take a
lovely vacation or enjoy a
fanciful fling while your romantic side is on display
during the next 4-6 weeks.
Where your finances or career are concerned, you
should tread water, even if
you feel it's time to reach
for your dreams. In July,
new friends and group activities might open some
doors or inspire you to try
bigger and better things. In
August, you might get positive attention, so make an
effort to advertise or to be
in the public eye. From late
September through early
October you're luckier than
usual. This is a fabulous
time to launch plans, start
something new, or embrace
any opportunities that pop
up.

Public notices allow citizens to monitor their government and make sure that it is
working in their best interest. Independent newspapers assist in this cause by
carrying out their partnership with the people’s right to know through public
notices. By offering an independent and archived record of public notices,
newspapers foster a more trusting relationship between government and its
citizens.
Newspapers have the experience and expertise in publishing public notices and
have done so since the Revolutionary War. Today, they remain an established,
trustworthy and neutral source that ably transfers information between
government and the people.
Public notices are the lasting record of how the public’s resources are used and are
presented in the most efficient and effective means possible.

of bird seed to help with the feeding of
your bird friends. Thanks in advance.
Nesting season tips and tricks
• Secure nest boxes to trees by wrapping bungee cords around the trunks.
This holds the house firmly and
doesn’t cause the damage that nails can
cause. Once nesting season is over,
remove the boxes and store until next
year.
• Use woven baskets mounted on their
sides for robins to build nests in. Turn
the baskets on their sides and attach
them to a wall or tree with a few small
screws. Mount them under an overhang to protect the birds from the elements.
• Save quilt trimmings for spring,
when birds are collecting nesting material. Leave clusters of soft yarn in your
yard. (Use a couple of small grapevines
to form a ball, stuff with nesting materials).
• Plant a variety of flowers, shrubs
and trees and keep your bird bath
clean.
• Set up birdhouses in several spots
throughout your yard. Be sure to vary
the size of the entrance hole so different species of birds can find a suitable
house.
• Hang birdhouses facing east so
storms won’t blow through the birdhouse when they come through.

anytime soon think about this easy
way to keep track of what you are
planting. Just save your corks to use as
plant markers.
Write the name of the plant on the
cork with a permanent marker, then
stick the cork on a stake or bamboo
skewer. If you don’t have wine corks
you can buy some at a craft store.
I’ll begin soon to open up the flower
beds for the season. Pruning the dead
heads and cutting things back for new
growth to take the lead. This is always
an exciting, hopeful time for gardeners.
A little work has such a great payback.
Choose those plants that worked well
and plant a few more, or take out something that broke your heart and failed
or move it to another spot that may
work out better, mulch a little and have
some fun in the dirt.

Beyond window dressing: Treatment options show versatility
BY ELAINE MARKOUTSAS
UNIVERSAL UCLICK
Cover-up isn't the issue. For
most, windows are welcome — the
more, the merrier. They usher in
natural light, and sunshine is a
surefire pick-me-up. There is that
privacy thing — you don't want to
feel like you're living in a fishbowl.
But equally important, is the matter of decor's finishing touch, the
punctuation and warmth (both
visual and physical) that fabric
adds, in the form of well-chosen
window treatments.
"Draperies are an important
design element," says Marta
Enriquez, director of interior
design for Ethan Allen. "They can
be used to filter light and protect
furniture, to darken a room, and to
keep it cooler or warmer. They can
open up a space or make it appear
cozier — depending on how they
are hung — and can be used to add
color and texture. They are great
for drawing the eye to a beautiful
view or architectural (element)
you want to showcase."
Although some types of
draperies (here's looking at you,
swag) seem fussy or dated, working with an interior style and
architecture for an appropriate
complement will net major design
dividends.
But buying window treatments is
not as easy as snapping up a chair.
Or is it?
That depends on whether or not
your windows themselves are standard issue, meaning their meas-
urements. If the dimensions are
not unusually wide or tall, you're
in luck. Most retailers today carry
ready-made (or off-the-rack, in
fashion parlance) draperies. The
price ranges from just a little bit
more than nice shower curtains
(around $40) to several hundred
dollars and up, depending on fabric (quality and how much of it),
whether or not there's a lining,
complexity of style (rod pocket,
where fabric is folded over and
stitched to allow sliding into the
rod, is the simplest construction),
and trims.
That's not all. There's quite the
range in fabric and pattern styles
— from elegant silks and velvets
to nubby linens and smooth cottons, from opaque to sheer, from
stripes (skinny or fat) and geometrics to ikats and zigzags, from florals to paisleys. The designs can
be screen or digitally printed, even
embroidered.
Another bonus: dressmaker
details. Contrast borders, ribbon
ties, pompon edging, ruching (a
kind of puckering), bands at the
top, bands at the bottom, even nailheads or grommets used to define.
The punctuation also is setting off
top treatments like fixed boxy
headers or loose valances.
"Cool white linen panels," for
example, "can offer simple, sophisticated style on their own," says
Enriquez. "But when you add a
Greek key tape trim, the same panels take on a more classic, elegant
look."

flax fibers, hangs in a classic window treatment that complements decor appointed with wide plank pine and iron finishes.

Rain gardens clean up surface waters
R
ain gardens are depressions that hold
water for a short period of time and
are increasingly popular with homeowners, municipalities and are
mandatory for many commercial businesses.
They catch storm water runoff from sidewalks, parking lots, roads
and roofs and typically
have some kind of vegetation planted in them.
Not only do rain gardens slow water down to
give it time to soak into
the ground and be used
by plants, but they also
filter out sediment and
chemical pollutants.
SCOTT
Communities are now
HININGER
being more aggressive in
|
using these rain gardens
to catch runoff water
before it enters streams.
This technique has been used in agriculture for many years to help reduce soil
runoff, fertilizer runoff and chemical
runoff from entering water systems. The
main principle is to use vegetation to slow
the water down so the sediment settles
out, allowing the water to infiltrate into
the soil. Once the water enters into the soil
it can be used by plants or to help recharge aquifers which can eventually provide late summer stream flow in some
cases, benefitting the riparian area’s
plants and animals.
One potential opportunity to look at is as
simple as directing the water into these
rain garden areas instead of down the
rain gutters to the streets, sloping the sidewalks toward grass areas. Parking lots can
direct the water toward planting areas,
which can then benefit the plants and
most of the excess water can be allowed to
infiltrate into the ground. Directing water
from the roof to a series of depressions
and planting fruit trees in these depressions results in less household water being
used and the extra water would be appreciated by the fruit trees.
Several things need to be taken into
account when constructing such devices,
such as the soil type and the need to be
permeable. Soil with a high percentage of
clay needs to be amended or replaced to
allow better permeability. Make sure these
rain gardens are not too close to the house
and the slope is away from structures.
There are products that have been developed to help allow water to penetrate into
the ground such as permeable concrete
sidewalks and permeable asphalt. These
specialty products are quite interesting
and sometimes need some additional engineering to stand up to heavy traffic. Pavers
can be used for sidewalks or parking
areas. Another product available is a plastic grate system which can be placed down
and either filled with recycled glass, gravel
or sod (the grate system keeps the material from moving around and offers some
structural support). These sod areas can
be managed just like a lawn, but offer
more uses.
The use of specific plant materials for
these rain garden areas will depend on
your location, climate and personal aesthetics. It does get a little more complicated as far as plant selection and design concerns as to how much potential water the
area will receive and how long water will
stand in the area. These questions will
determine the plant selections needed and
the design of the rain garden area. Most
home rain gardens are only 6 inches deep
and one-third the size of a roof or less.
The other item that is being looked at
from a research standpoint is adding material to the soil which will absorb or hold
chemicals, such as activated charcoal and
a new product called a biochar (which is a
product developed from organic matter
such as poultry wastes and is better at
absorbing chemicals than charcoal). Most
of us that have had aquariums know that
using activated charcoal takes unwanted
chemicals out of the water.
So if you are interested in cleaning up
our surface waters and adding water back
to our dry soils then think about installing
rain gardens or directing rainwater to vegetative areas first before it enters the
storm drains.

THE SHERIDAN PRESS
He lives in the past and present
BY JESSIE HETZLER
SHERIDAN SENIOR CENTER
COURTESY PHOTO |
Dennis Heizer pursues his passion for re-enacting the lives of area
mountain men who came to the Rocky Mountain region. Heizer’s
personal favorite historic person is mountain man, Jim Bridger.
SHERIDAN — Dennis Heizer, a 64-year-old father of two
daughters, two sons and 10 grandchildren, has been in
Sheridan since 1977. He says that fact makes him qualified
to be three-fourths Wyoming citizen.
The contrast between his work at the First Interstate
Bank and his "hobby" is remarkable.
Heizer is an historic re-enactor with his character dating
to the days of his hero, Jim Bridger, of the early 1800s.
Heizer appeared at this interview in full frontiersman
outfit consisting of fringed, one-strap buckskin trousers
that he made himself.
"Absolutely authentic, artificial sinew," Heizer said of
his outfit.
Heizer’s mountain man outfit included a drinking cup
made from a cow horn, a .58-caliber Hawkens percussion
cap rifle and pistol and a necklace made from sea turtle
claws. The cow horn drinking cup had a handle formed by
heating a long strip of horn and bending it into shape.
Upon seeing him in his outfit, Hiezer says many people
will ask if he will make the buckskin trousers for them.
“No, it takes too long and costs too much,” Heizer said.
He pointed out that just about everything needed to put
together a full outfit is available through the many vendors at the Rendezvous held in Riverton, Pinedale and Fort
Bridger.
Heizer’s fascination with the period began when one of
his daughters gave him the book, “I Didn’t Know That
About Wyoming.” Reading that book led Heizer to reading
many others and building an impressive knowledge of the
history of trappers and traders who were the first white
explorers to discover the rivers and trails through the
Rockies and Plains.
Heizer is hooked on the history. He tells of traders hauling keel boats up the river to trade what they considered to
be cheap $.50 knives to local tribesmen for what they (the
tribes people) considered to be worthless beaver pelts; both
parties were convinced that they had gotten the best of the
deal.
Bridger, while having nearly total recall, was illiterate.
The story of Bridger carving his name in Independence
Rock is a very tall tale worthy of Bridger’s time.
Heizer recalls his experiences riding in parades with
friends dressed to remember the cowboys, military men
and others who have played a vital part in Wyoming’s history.
They would ride from one end of the parade to the other
firing their guns. This was brought to an end by the
parade officials who were afraid that they might scare the
horses.
Heizer says that he occasionally erects a teepee in his
backyard and also keeps a target out there for tomahawk
practice. His daughters would take new dates out to throw
tomahawks before the date began.
Heizer gives a yearly presentation at Highland Park
School and is available to do so for other organizations
upon request. Heizer can be reached at

I
The privilege of working with amazing people
have lived in Sheridan 25 years and began volunteering as
a home-delivered meals driver some 17 years ago, eventually working in several positions at the Sheridan Senior
Center. As the volunteer director I have had the privilege
of writing this annual spring article in honor of National
Volunteer Appreciation Week established in 1974 by a program of “Points Of Light” as a way of recognizing volunteers
and all they do in their communities and
ultimately for our nation. This year, April
12-18 has been set aside to nationally celebrate volunteers.
The knowledge of what we have accomplished with the invaluable help of volunteers this past year alone at the Senior
Center and throughout the community is
quite overwhelming. A few examples of
many include: 107,773 meals served to
NANCY
more than 1,500 people, in large part due
MCKENZIE
to home-delivered meal volunteers and
|
those volunteers who assist in the Senior
Center dining room and at our meal sites
throughout Sheridan County. Senior
Companion volunteers have been invaluable for assisting
individuals to stay in their homes and volunteers have
been instrumental in making the dream of the Senior
Center running its own thrift store a reality.
Each time I sit down to write this article, I have struggled to find the words that adequately express my heartfelt
thank you to all those incredible volunteers, throughout
Sheridan County, who help make the human services
offered in our great community possible. This year is of
utmost significance to me as it will be my last as the volunteer director. I am moving to the southern
Wyoming/northern Colorado area to aid my family in caring for my father.
It is with tears of joy that I reflect on nine years of working in the best supportive loving community that I could
have hoped for. I have been blessed by countless moments
spent in awe at the tenacity and hard work of dedicated
volunteers who range in age, skill level, backgrounds and
education but all who come with their own level of desire
to be of service to others. From each, I have learned countless lessons of how to selflessly give of one’s self. I have
learned that there are no barriers to volunteering, if the
desire to give is great enough. I have witnessed volunteers
overcome social, physical, mental and developmental challenges to give of themselves. Despite health issues, time
constraints, bad weather, you name it, loyal volunteers
show up to faithfully fulfill their volunteer commitment,
‘cause that’s what they do!
It is with tears of sadness as I know there will be a huge
whole left in my heart, missing the wonderful people I
have been blessed to work side-by-side with. I appreciate
all you’ve done to make the past nine years the most enjoyable work experiences I have had. The Sheridan community and specifically the Sheridan Senior Center, staff,
clients and volunteers have been like family to me. I relish
laughter, hugs, kind words spoken, moments of awe.
In my travels, wherever life may take, I fear I may never
have the privilege of working with such an amazing group
of individuals. Thank you for blessing my life in so many
ways.

Winner:
Asia Robinson
S
heridan High School senior Asia
Robinson is this week’s Summit
Award winner. She is the daughter of
LoriAnn Wilson and Eugene
Robinson.
Throughout high school Robinson has
been involved in many extracurricular
activities including student council,
National Honor Society and W.A.T.C.H.
club. In addition, she began
playing the clarinet in junior
high and has participated in
the SHS band program all
four years of high school.
Robinson has nominated
Diane Knutson, Sheridan
Robinson
High School band instructor
as an outstanding teacher.
Robinson appreciates Knutson’s ability
to teach, love and support her students.
Knutson reciprocates that same appreciation for Robinson stating, “Asia is an
outstanding musician with a great attitude! She is super organized, and I have
come to depend on her to help me in
many ways in the classroom. In fact, she
often knows what needs to be done
before I do! Her positive attitude and
great work ethic make her a pleasure to
have in the classroom, and I know these
same traits will lead her to much success
in her future.”
Robinson has been selected for AllState Band three years in a row. She is
grateful for the recognition of her hard
work and values the unique opportunity
to share her musical passion with others
from across the state. In addition,
Robinson was selected for the Wyoming
All-State marching band which performed at the Macy’s Day Parade in 2012.
She recalls visiting New York City and
has fond memories of the friendships
she established as well as her Black
Friday shopping trip in Times Square.
Robinson’s musicality also extends to
the percussion ensemble, symphony
orchestra and the Sheridan College
band. As a junior she participated in the
school musical, “Grease.” Although she
is committed to pursuing her passion for
music, Robinson also demonstrates an
incredible ability to achieve academically, which is evidenced by the fact she
maintains a 3.89 GPA and has earned an
academic letter for the past three years.
Robison’s academic schedule has included Advance Placement calculus, human
anatomy and physiology, physics, psychology, U.S. history and pre-calculus as
well as a P.A.C.E. Internship.
Nancy Crowe, SHS math teacher, has
taught Robinson for the past two years in
both pre-calculus and AP calculus.
Robinson says that Crowe genuinely
cares about her students’ success. She
appreciates the expectations and daily
challenges presented by her teacher and
describes Crowe as “fun to be around
and easy going.”
Likewise, Crowe says, “Asia is full of
positive energy. She's always smiling,
usually laughing, and just great fun to
teach.”
This past semester Robinson interned
at Wyoming Rehab. She is thankful for
the opportunity to work alongside the
physical therapists and learn about the
career field she intends to pursue. She
credits SHS athletic trainer, Joanne
Brewster, with first igniting her interest
in physical therapy. Robinson was a participant in the student trainer program
directed by Brewster.
Outside of school, Robinson is a sales
associate at the Boot Barn. She has
enjoyed learning about the retail business, the sales incentive program and
meeting new people.
During the week-long spring break for
SHS students Robinson has joined
Spanish teacher Mario Montano and
other SHS students for a trip to Costa
Rica. She has not traveled outside of the
U.S. and is excited to experience another
culture.
Robinson’s strong work ethic, positive
attitude and ability to excel will ensure
her continued success. Following high
school graduation, Robinson plans to
pursue an athletic training associate
degree at Sheridan College.

SHS students take part in Big Brothers Big Sisters program
BY SAMANTHA HAMILTON
SHERIDAN HIGH SCHOOL
SHERIDAN — For the past two years, students at Sheridan
High School have been part of a growing program in
Sheridan known as Big Brothers Big Sisters. Since being
introduced in the school, the number of students involved has
more than doubled, from six to 15 students.
For some kids, the privilege of having an older brother or
sister to help guide and support them is only a dream, a
thought in passing as a friend tells them about how his sister
took them to get ice cream in the park the other day.
“Everyone needs someone in their lives to help give them a
little more support, a little boost to make their day that much
better,” BBBS director Sandy Thiel said.
For this reason, the mentor program was founded more
than a century ago in 1904.
BBBS has been in Wyoming since the 1970s and in Sheridan
since 2003.
Thiel has been involved since September 2013 and has
helped the program grow even bigger, especially at Sheridan
High School.
Thiel was contacted by Kathleen Pilch, the professional and
community experience coordinator at SHS, to talk to the
Interact Club about the program. Since then, it has received
strong support and assistance from other faculty throughout
the school who help to recruit more mentors.
SHS students participate through two site-based programs
at Sagebrush Elementary and Woodland Park Elementary. A
Big meets with his or her Little for one hour each week, usually during lunch or before school. Mentors can do activities
such as arts and crafts, helping with schoolwork, playing at
recess and even ongoing chess games.
Sophomore Heather Belus joined BBBS in the fall, and she
said it has completely changed her outlook on the program.
“I thought it would look good on college applications, but
actually I really enjoy hanging out with my Little now,” Belus
said. “She is a kindergartener. She gets really excited but
doesn’t talk a lot, and she’s also very independent.”
Becoming a Big takes more than a teacher recommendation.
To be eligible, interested students must be at least a junior in
high school and have a 2.5 grade point average or better.
According to Thiel, additional qualifications include background checks, an interview process where the potential mentors interact with the interviewers and a period of informal
training both online and in person.
Sophomore Anna Crabb recently completed her training
after being referred to the program by a friend.
“She [Thiel] went and found a Little that kind of matched
my interests,” Crabb said. “So far, I’m just keeping her company and being her friend. I just want to make a difference in
her life. It’s the best thing someone can do: make a positive
impact on someone.”
Schwarzenegger pushes Congress to
save after-school funding
LOS ANGELES (AP) —
Former California Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger is calling on
Congress to preserve federal
funding for after-school programs in a proposed reauthorization of the 2002 No Child
Left Behind law.
At a national summit in Los
Angeles on Tuesday,
Schwarzenegger will join education, business and law
enforcement leaders in demanding that any bill maintain afterschool funding. A House proposal would eliminate afterschool centers designed to help
children in low-income neighborhoods and 68 other programs in favor of a flexibility
grant that would allow states to
decide how to use funds.
“I’m always worried when
someone says, ‘It will give them
more flexibility,’”
Schwarzenegger said Monday
in an interview with The
Associated Press. “I think afterschool money is for after-school
programs.”
The bill is stalled while
Senate leaders work on a bipartisan draft.
An increasing number of children come from homes where
both parents work, making
after-school care a necessity for
many families. In 1965, four in
10 children had more than one
parent who worked; by 2014,
that number had risen to more
than six in 10.
But skeptics of federally funded after-school initiatives point
to U.S. Department of
Education data showing that
participants do not demonstrate
improved academic outcomes.
The most recent agency
report found that almost none
of the performance targets was
met, with only 38.4 percent of
elementary-school participants
showing improvement in math
grades and 40.2 percent in
English. For middle and high
school students, the numbers
were also bleak: 33.8 percent
had improved grades in math
between fall and spring and 34.6
percent in English.
“The evidence shows they did
not have an impact,” said Mark
Dynarski, a fellow at the
Brookings Institution.
The nonprofit Afterschool
Alliance estimates that more
than 10 million children are
enrolled in after-school programs, the vast majority in private care. Just 1.6 million are in
a federal 21st Century
Community Learning Center,
targeted to children in lowincome neighborhoods — the
same communities where single
parents or both parents are likely to work.

“In the Community to Serve”
“
God is love” (1 John 4:8). This is most certainly true.
More needs to be said. “Jesus loves you” is gospel,
good news. “Love the Lord” and “Love your neighbor as yourself ” are commands, law. Note the different directions of the love. Love to you
from God in Christ Jesus is gospel. Love
from you back to God or to another
human being is law.
The order is also important. We love
because God first loved us (1 John 4:19).
God loved us first.
Both law and gospel are necessary, yet
they must be properly distinguished.
Gospel without law has little meaning.
PAUL
Law without gospel leads to hypocrisy

Is it loving toward God or our neighbor to agree with a Bible verse like
“God is love,” yet deny the existence or
truth of other verses? No. “You shall have no other Gods,”
“Honor your father and your mother,” “You shall not
commit adultery,” or Jesus saying, “I am the way and the
truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except
through Me” (John 14:6) are just as true as “God is love.”
In fact, without Christ Jesus, generic love of or for a
generic “god” is meaningless. Don’t just take my word for
it. Hear St. John in 1 John 4:1-12:
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits
to see whether they are from God, for many false
prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know
the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus
Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit

that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the
spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and
now is in the world already. Little children, you are from
God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is
greater than he who is in the world. They are from the
world; therefore they speak from the world, and the world
listens to them. We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us.
By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of
error.
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God,
and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.
Anyone who does not love does not know God, because
God is love. In this the love of God was made manifest
among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so
that we might live through him. In this is love, not that
we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son
to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so
loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has
ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us
and his love is perfected in us.”
It is not hateful for a parent to tell a child to not touch a
hot stove, to not run out in the middle of the street, to
avoid illegal drugs and to come home in time for a curfew.
These are the words and actions of a loving parent.
God the father loves us enough to send His only son to
save us from ourselves and the Holy Spirit to deliver
Jesus’ complete gift of salvation to us in word and sacrament. Seek him next week, Holy Week, and always.

USFS to hold open house Thursday

host an open house Thursday from 4-6 p.m.
to welcome District Ranger Amy Ormseth.

Ormseth comes to Sheridan most recently as the District Ranger from the Pike and
San Isabel National Forests and
Cimarron/Comanche National Grasslands

Sheridan earlier this year.

FAB conference tickets on sale
FROM STAFF REPORTS
SHERIDAN — Tickets are now on sale
for the 2015 FAB (For. About. By.) Women’s
Conference, which is scheduled for April
17 from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. at Sheridan
College.
Tickets for the conference are $40 per
person, while tickets for the banquet dinner only are $30. Combination tickets for
the conference and dinner cost $65.
Karen McNenny will highlight the event
with three different presentations. Her
keynote, “Wonder Woman Wants a Day
Off !” will explore how you can deal with
difficult situations, cranky people and bad
hair days. McNenny will bring to life the
paradox and struggles of so many women
as they manage work, home and personal
preservation.
Her second presentation of the day will
focus on building community. She contends that no matter what the problem or
what the question, community is the
answer.
Last, she’ll address the crowd at the
Woman of the Year Banquet set to begin
at 6 p.m. April 17 in the Edward A.
Whitney Academic Center atrium.
This year’s conference has been separated into two tracts — personal and professional. Attendees don’t have to stick to one
tract, but can mix and match based on
interest.
Throughout the day, interactive workshops will include instruction on basic doit-yourself projects, journaling, nutrition,
resume building, volunteerism, negotiating, running for office and the need for
networking.
At the end of the conference, attendees
will be introduced to five local nonprofits,
which will then be available during the
cocktail hour to visit with potential new
volunteers and board members.
To wrap up the day, each nominee for
Woman of the Year will be honored and
the 2015 winner will be announced during
a banquet dinner.

David Crosby repeatedly asks about ambulance after accident
SANTA YNEZ, Calif. (AP) — A recording of an anguished 911 call from David
Crosby shows the Rock and Roll Hall of
Famer repeatedly asking how soon an
ambulance will arrive to help a pedestrian he just hit with his car.
Crosby was driving on a highway near
his Santa Barbara County home on
Sunday when the accident occurred.
He tells a 911 dispatcher the sun was in
his eyes and he couldn’t see 46-year-old
Jose Jimenez jogging.
The recording of the call was released
Wednesday by the California Highway
Patrol.
After a dispatcher tells him an ambulance is on the way, Crosby calls back to
ask how soon it will arrive.
Jimenez was hospitalized with broken
bones.
