Early graduation not
always just about
academic achievement
BY HANNAH SHEELY
THE SHERIDAN PRESS
SHERIDAN — The Tongue
River Initiative recently
received a large grant and is
looking for a little help from
key partners — landowners
in the Tongue River, Goose
Creek and Prairie Dog
Creek watersheds — to help
spend it.
Wish list items could
include improving irrigation efficiency (money
saved, healthier crops), providing better stream passages (more fish, even better
fishing), relocating a corral
(cleaner water), conservation easements (long-term
protection for pristine
lands) and more.

THE SHERIDAN PRESS
SHERIDAN — Graduating
early from high school is no
small feat, requiring extra
courses and hard work for
the shortened time a student
is enrolled. But having the
ability to move on from secondary education is not
always just a mark of academic achievement — sometimes it is the outcome of
necessity.
“We have students who
have other situations in
their life — sometimes they
are a teen parent situation
or have some medical issues
or are needing to work
because of their family situation,” Sheridan County
School District 1
Superintendent Marty
Kobza said. “We don’t want
them to be making the
choice to drop out. We know
how important earning a
high school diploma is and
the doors it opens for that
student, so that’s a real priority for us is to help them
make it to graduation.”
SCSD1 offers online courses through their Bridges
Academy — an alternative
school housed in the Tongue
River Valley Community
Center.
The self-paced digital
courses can be used for
credit recovery or an alternative learning style, for
those who need those
options, but the courses also
serve as an accelerator
when taken simultaneously
with traditional classroom
lessons.

Wyo. lawmakers advance plan to raise dropout age
CHEYENNE (AP) — The House Education
Committee has endorsed a proposal that would raise
the dropout age for Wyoming public school students.
The committee voted 6-3 Friday to send House Bill
198 to the House floor where it will undergo further
debate.
The legislation would require public school students to attend classes until they are 17 or have completed the 11th grade. That is an increase of one year
from the current requirement that blocks them from
dropping out until they are 16 or have completed the
10th grade.
The change would not apply to private school students or home-schooled students.
Rep. Steve Harshman, R-Casper, said he decided to
sponsor the bill because it is a way to convince more
students to stay in school and get their diploma.
Harshman, who also is a teacher and football
coach at Natrona County High School, said it at least
would give educators an extra year to find help or
alternative programs for potential dropouts.
“I just think a lot can happen in a year for a young
person in how they grow and develop,” he told the
Wyoming Tribune Eagle.
The proposal was supported by several education
groups, including the State Board of Education, the
Wyoming Education Association and the Wyoming
School Boards Association.
John Lyttle, superintendent of Laramie County
School District 1, also spoke in favor of the plan.
Lyttle said schools now have a lot of options,
including extended school days and summer classes,
to help students get enough credits to graduate. And
he said having that extra year would allow the students to see “light at the end of the tunnel” in
regards to being able to graduate.
Legislature faces tough Medicaid,
budget issues this week
CHEYENNE (AP) — The Wyoming Legislature this week will continue to debate the politically difficult issue of whether the state
should move to expand the federal Medicaid program.
The Wyoming Senate started considering a bill to authorize
acceptance of federal funds to expand Medicaid on Friday, and it is
set to continue the debate Monday.
Senate President Sen. Phil Nicholas, R-Laramie, said Friday that
many senators are balancing arguments about the expansion proposal with commitments they made to constituents in last fall’s reelection campaign to oppose the idea.
“To push the bill it is important to really investigate what is the
core element of Medicaid expansion that people campaigned
against,” Nicholas said.

Sheridan man arrested for battery
CALENDAR
FEBRUARY
FROM STAFF REPORTS
SHERIDAN — A man was arrested Thursday for
domestic battery following a fight in the home at which
he was staying.
Police responded about 8 p.m. Thursday to a call
about a fight between Antonio Sean Allen, 22, and
another party in the home.
According to court documents, the victim told police
that Allen was a relative and had been staying in the
home about five days. An argument started between
Allen and a family member, during which Allen
allegedly punched the victim a number of times. Allen
broke a window in the home and left before the police
arrived.
Another officer found Allen about an hour after the
initial call and talked to him about the incident. The
officer questioned Allen and recorded that Allen admitted to fighting with the individual and breaking the
window.
Allen was arrested for battery. He was also cited for
malicious destruction for the broken window.
Allen is scheduled to appear in court today.

CASPER (AP) — Police in Laramie are investigating
the weekend death of a University of Wyoming student.

New Sublette sheriff
brings new uniform
PINEDALE (AP) — The new sheriff of Sublette
County has banned his deputies from wearing cowboy
hats and cowboy boots.
The new dress code imposed by Sheriff Stephen
Haskell has resulted in one long-time deputy choosing
to retire rather than change his uniform.
Haskell, who has worked in law enforcement for
three years, is requiring deputies to wear black
trousers, a tan shirt, black boots and a black ball cap.
The change in dress code prompted Deputy Gene
Bryson to retire last Friday after 28 years with the
department and some 40 years overall in law enforcement.
The 70-year-old Bryson wore a brown cowboy hat,
brown cowboy boots, summertime leather vest or wintertime wool vest.
Bryson tells the Casper Star-Tribune that he’d rather
retire than change his Western outfit.

Bighorn National Forest welcomes new ranger
BY MIKE DUNN
THE SHERIDAN PRESS
SHERIDAN — Like many
others, Amy Ormseth was
drawn to Sheridan for the
spectacular views of the
Bighorn Mountains. As the
new district ranger for the
Bighorn National Forest
Tongue Ranger District, she
said she will work to preserve those views for future
generations.
The Bighorn National
Forest, which covers
1,115,073 acres of land to the
west of Sheridan, is divided
into three different geographical districts.
Ormseth’s job as district
ranger is to head the daily
operations in the Tongue
Ranger District such as
managing fires, recreation,
range management and
water among others. She
also manages staff within
her district and works
alongside other government
officials and permittees.
With a background in civil
engineering and geology,
Ormseth has worked in
many departments with the
Forest Service.
Her first job involved
designing roads, trails and
campgrounds.
Throughout her career,
she has worn many different hats working in engineering, recreation, mineral
management, special uses
and administration.
She obtained her first district ranger position in 2013
with the Pike and San Isabel
National Forests and
MIKE DUNN | THE SHERIDAN PRESS
Amy Ormseth joined the team at the Bighorn National Forest in January as the new ranger for the
Tongue District.
Cimarron/Comanche
National Grasslands in
Salida, Colorado. Ormseth
moved to Sheridan from
there in early January.
Ormseth said she is relatively new to being a forest
ranger, but hopes to bring a
new perspective to the position.
“I hope to bring communication and relationships,”
Ormseth said. “I hope to
continue involvement with
the communities to be
engaged and really listen to
what people want from
their forest. I hope that we
are able to provide that
given some of the constraints that we are held to
as a federal agency.”
She wants to ensure an
open-door policy with the
public and added she is
more than willing to listen
to whatever concerns people have about the forest.
Winter weather and getting settled at her new job
have kept Ormseth from
exploring a large portion of
her district but she said has
spent some time on the ski
trails. She hopes to explore
more of the district as the
year progresses.
“I am very excited to be
here,” Ormseth said. “But
I’ll be even more excited
when I can get out on the
ground.”
Obama sending $4 trillion spending plan to Congress
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is sending Congress a $4 trillion budget Monday that seeks to
raise taxes on wealthier Americans and corporations and
use the extra income to lift the fortunes of families who
have felt squeezed during tough economic times.
He would also ease tight budget constraints imposed on
the military and domestic programs back in 2011, and
unveils new initiatives including an ambitious $478 billion
public works program for highway, bridge and transit
upgrades.
The administration said the budget represented a strategy to strengthen the middle class and help “hard-working
families get ahead in a time of relentless economic and
technological change.”
“This country’s better off than it was four years ago, but
what we also know is that wages and incomes for middle
class families are just now ticking up,” Obama said in an
interview broadcast on Monday’s “Today Show” on NBC.
“They haven’t been keeping pace over the last 30 years
compared to, you know, corporate profits and what’s happening to folks in the very top.”
Even before the massive budget books landed on lawmakers’ desks, Republicans were on the attack, accusing
the president of seeking to revert to tax-and-spend policies
that will harm the economy while failing to do anything
about the budget’s biggest problem — soaring spending on
government benefit programs.
Obama’s fiscal blueprint, for the budget year that begins
Oct. 1, proposes spending $4 trillion — $3.99 trillion before
rounding — and projects revenues of $3.53 trillion.

Agriculture Advocacy Week
was held Jan. 26-Feb. 4.
Organizers said the week
focuses on encouraging FFA
members to be the voice of
agriculture and engage
their local communities in
discussions about where

Obi Wan, Chewbacca,
Vader and gang reunite for new exhibit
SEATTLE (AP) — The creators of a new
traveling exhibit on the costumes of Star
Wars are hoping to gather geeks, fashionistas and movie fans together to discuss
how clothing helps set the scene.
But mostly, the exhibit that opened this
past weekend at Seattle’s EMP Museum is
an opportunity to see 60 original costumes
from the six Star Wars movies in one room
— from Princess Leia’s slave bikini to
Queen Amidala’s wedding dress, which has
not been part of any previous public display.
The exhibit, “Rebel, Jedi, Princess,
Queen: Star Wars and the Power of
Costume,” was created by the Smithsonian
Institution Traveling Exhibition Service
and the Lucas Museum of Narrative Arts,
and will be traveling across the United
States through 2020. The exhibit is scheduled to be in Seattle through early October
and the creators have not yet announced
the next stops.
The exhibit designers want people to
know this is a rare opportunity to see the
costumes up close and personal, without
Plexiglas in the way. But be warned, the
alarm system will loudly rebuke anyone
who leans in too close.
Photography is allowed, but no flash,
tripods or selfie sticks. The Darth Vader
costume is set off on its own, perfectly
arranged for selfies.
Videos of filmmaker George Lucas, costume designers and star Natalie Portman,
along with the descriptions under the costumes share a wealth of insider information about costume construction and idea
development.
The displays also talk about cultural
influences from Africa to Asia. Quotes
from actors talk about the way the costumes made them feel, from Carrie Fisher’s
experience in what she called the bikini
from hell, to the power the Sith lords felt in
their getups.

British actress Geraldine McEwan
dies at age 82
LONDON (AP) — The family of longtime actress
Geraldine McEwan says she has died following
treatment for a stroke. She was 82.
McEwan was known for many roles including
playing the famous Agatha Christie detective Miss
Marple in 12 TV episodes.
Her two children said in a statement that she
died Friday after suffering a severe stroke at the
end of October. She had been hospitalized extensively since then.
McEwan worked for many years in theater, television and films, sharing the stage with Laurence
Olivier, Albert Finney, and other top British stars.
She won numerous awards, including a BAFTA
Best Actress prize for her 1989 performance in
“Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit.”
McEwan was born in Old Windsor, 20 miles (30
kilometers) west of London and made her stage
debut at 14, moving into starring roles just four
years later. She excelled at Shakespeare, playing
major roles in “Much Ado About Nothing” and
“Hamlet,” and directing one of the Bard’s plays.
She played Miss Marple in 12 TV episodes from
2004 to 2008, stepping down at the end of a hugely
successful run as the fictional detective.
When she announced she was leaving the show,
she said it had been “a marvelous experience to
inhabit” the role and that she was leaving with
fond memories of playing Miss Marple, one of the
most enduring figures of mystery fiction.
Her career also included movies like “Robin
Hood: Prince of Thieves,” in which she played an
evil witch alongside Kevin Costner and Alan
Rickman.
She was married for nearly 50 years to Hugh
Cruttwell, a former principal of the Royal
Academy of Dramatic Arts. He died in 2002. She is
survived by their two children, Greg and Claudia.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Carl Djerassi, the
chemist widely considered the father of the birth
control pill, has died.
Djerrasi died of complications of cancer Friday
in his San Francisco home, Stanford University
spokesman Dan Stober said. He was 91.
Djerassi, a professor emeritus of chemistry at
Stanford, was most famous for leading a research
team in Mexico City that in 1951 developed
norethindrone, a synthetic molecule that became a
key component of the first birth control pill.
“The pill” as it came to be known radically transformed sexual practices and women’s lives. The
pill gave women more control over their fertility
than they had ever had before and permanently
put doctors — who previously didn’t see contraceptives as part of their job — in the birth control
picture.
In his book, “This Man’s Pill,” Djerassi said the
invention also changed his life, making him more
interested in how science affects society.
In 1969, he submitted a public policy article
about the global implications of U.S. contraceptive
research, according to the Stanford News Service.
In 1970, he published another article about the feasibility of a birth control pill for men.
Today’s Highlight in
History:
On Feb. 2, 1925, the legendary Alaska Serum Run
ended as the last of a series of
dog mushers brought a lifesaving treatment to Nome, the
scene of a diphtheria epidemic, six days after the drug left
Nenana.
On this date:
In 1653, New Amsterdam —
now New York City — was
incorporated.
In 1848, the Treaty of
Guadalupe Hidalgo, ending
the Mexican-American War,
was signed.
In 1887, Punxsutawney,
Pennsylvania, held its first
Groundhog Day festival.
In 1914, Charles Chaplin
made his movie debut as the
comedy short “Making a
Living” was released by
Keystone Film Co. The musical “Shameen Dhu,” featuring
the song “Too Ra Loo Ra Loo
Ral,” opened on Broadway.
In 1915, Israeli statesman
Abba Eban was born in Cape
Town, South Africa.
In 1925, the silent film “The
Lost World,” based on the
Arthur Conan Doyle novel
about explorers who
encounter living prehistoric
animals in South America,
had its world premiere.
In 1932, Duke Ellington and
His Orchestra recorded “It
Don’t Mean a Thing (If It
Ain’t Got That Swing)” for
Brunswick Records.
In 1943, the remainder of
Nazi forces from the Battle of
Stalingrad surrendered in a
major victory for the Soviets
in World War II.
In 1964, Ranger 6, a lunar
probe launched by NASA,
crashed onto the surface of
the moon as planned, but
failed to send back any TV

In 1971, Idi Amin, having
seized power in Uganda, proclaimed himself president.
In 1980, NBC News reported the FBI had conducted a
sting operation targeting
members of Congress using
phony Arab businessmen in
what became known as
“Abscam,” a codename
protested by Arab-Americans.
In 1990, in a dramatic concession to South Africa’s
black majority, President F.W.
de Klerk lifted a ban on the
African National Congress
and promised to free Nelson
Mandela.
Ten years ago: In his State
of the Union address,
President George W. Bush
called for changes in Social
Security that would combine
reduced government benefits
for younger workers with “a
chance to build a nest egg”
through personal accounts.
German heavyweight boxer
Max Schmeling died at age 99.
Five years ago: President
Barack Obama, speaking in
Nashua, New Hampshire,
branded Republicans as electoral opportunists more concerned about their own interests than the people’s. The
Academy of Motion Picture
Arts and Sciences unveiled its
2009 Oscar nominees; in a
first, 10 films were nominated
for best picture instead of
five, including eventual winner “The Hurt Locker.”
One year ago: Academy
Award-winning actor Philip
Seymour Hoffman, 46, was
found dead in his New York

CONSERVE: Joint efforts
FROM 1
The TRI takes a large-scale approach to conservation by encouraging agencies and landowners to work together to address conservation needs across the entire landscape in the greater Tongue River
watershed.
“We’re trying to get the Tongue River Initiative to be the big framework that everyone identifies with conservation opportunities, with
economic benefits to landowners, rather than a specific entity or
another,” SCLT Executive Director Colin Betzler said.
Betzler stressed that the TRI is not about obtaining public access
to private lands. It is about conservation of the landscape that
Sheridan County residents adore and appreciate.

process of approaching landowners about possible projects and consideration of conservation easements that can protect land from
development.
SCCD District Manager Carrie Rogaczewski and NRCS District
Conservationist Andrew Cassiday will continue to provide assistance
with water quality and agricultural projects such as corral relocation, irrigation enhancements, septic system relocations and more.
All partners said the nice thing about the grant is that the funds
are dedicated to Sheridan County, meaning projects will not have to
compete for dollars with other counties around the state.
“The idea of TRI is every landowner is not going to do a conservation easement,” Betzler said. “But every landowner might be interested in doing a fencing project, whether it’s exposure from a river or
spring, or it’s pumping their water for cattle use from the river to a
different location, maybe it’s a corral relocation, maybe it’s managing Russian Olive on their property, any host of things. The idea for
TRI was how do we show landowners that there’s this huge scale of
range.”
Tongue River Initiative partners
The Tongue River Initiative began two years ago after a conversation
between Sheridan Community Land Trust officials and a donor about an
effort to conserve a 13-mile section of the Tongue River. The donor said
conserving 13 miles was great but wanted to know what SCLT was doing
to conserve the rest of the system, SCLT Executive Director Colin Betzler
said.
The question spurred an effort to create a partnership between conservation agencies that would address all aspects of conservation. It was
modeled after the successful Blackfoot Challenge in Missoula, Montana.
Partnering agencies in the TRI include: Wyoming Game and Fish, Trout
Unlimited, Sheridan County Weed and Pest, the USDA’s Natural Resources
Conservation Service in Sheridan County, the State Engineers Office, the
Department of Environmental Quality, the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers,
the Farm Service Agency, the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and the
University of Wyoming Cooperative Extension Service.

GRADUATE: Students options being examined
FROM 1
“We make sure they are working at a minimum
pace, but if they choose to work at a faster pace
they can do that and move ahead sooner,” Kobza
said of the online courses. “Ultimately that’s our
goal, to see that students are learning and demonstrating their knowledge to us — not just being
here for four years but proving they know what we
need them to know to move on.”
When combined with summer school courses,
the district has seen some students graduate up to
a full year early while still exceeding the minimum amount of credits required by the state to
graduate, Kobza said.
Currently, though they are done with school,
early graduates do not receive their diploma until
their standard graduation date arrives, but Kobza
said that may change.
“Within our board strategic plan we talk about
individualizing learning opportunities for students and some of these situations might fall into
that category, so we will see moving forward if
that changes,” Kobza said.
On the other side of the county, graduating early
is a much different tale.
At Sheridan County School District 2, administrators discourage students from leaving high
school early, urging them to utilize as much of the
free education offered to them as possible before
moving on to the next level.
SCSD2 Superintendent Craig Dougherty said his
district’s students are not wanting to graduate
early simply to be free of high school, but rather
they are eager to advance to the next level.
“One of the things we try to do is comprehen-
sively prepare students with all the tools they
have, because once they leave us they are on their
own,” Dougherty said. “Eighteen-year-olds feel
they have the world by the tail and they are ready
to move on, but what we have found is our top performing kids really need that full four years to get
the full benefit.”
SCSD2 Assistant Superintendent of Instruction
and Human Relations Terry Burgess said the district does have two to four kids graduate early
each year, but they try to make that the exception,
not the rule.
“We feel that if a student comes in and says they
are done with their high school career our counselors will talk to them and their parents about
their AP (advanced placement) options where they
can take courses for free and get books for free and
still earn college credits,” Burgess said. “They can
earn a free period their senior year, and some kids
like to take advantage of that, but there are opportunities between our rigorous classes and our college classes that they can get ahead.”
Both districts agree that the majority of their
high academic students are sticking around, earning college credits from the comfort of their high
school environment while they still can.
And as SCSD2 continues its Graduation Counts
community group efforts looking at multiple pathways to graduation, Dougherty said there is a possibility some early graduation policy changes
could take shape.
“We’re trying to look at what can we do to
enhance the education of these kids and someone
who wants to leave early, we may not be meeting
their needs,” Dougherty said. “Hopefully that is
something we can look at to expand their options.”

SUPER FINISH
New England Patriots edge Seahawks 28-24 for NFL title
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — The final 125 seconds included a perfect possession by Tom
Brady for the go-ahead points, a juggling catch
that could have been the play of the year, and
a victory-clinching, end-zone interception on a
pass — not run — from the 1.
A Super Bowl that got off to a slow start
wound up with a "Whoa!" finish, a lot like the
New England Patriots' entire season.
Brady threw two of his four touchdown
passes in the final quarter to erase a doubledigit deficit, rookie Malcolm Butler picked off
Russell Wilson's short throw while Marshawn
Lynch watched, and the Patriots ended a
decade drought without an NFL title by beating the defending champion Seattle Seahawks
28-24 in a taut classic Sunday night.
"Every team has a journey," said Brady, who
was voted Super Bowl MVP for a record-tying
third time, "and a lot of people lost faith in us
early. But we held strong. We held together."
He was talking about the preceding months,
not minutes. But either made sense. After all,
back in late September, when New England
lost 41-14 at the Kansas City Chiefs to fall to 22, there was a lot of talk about whether Brady
was done, whether the Patriots were simply
no longer a powerhouse.

Wyatt Schumacher drives inside against Wright on Saturday at Tongue River High School.
Eagles hold off Wright, remain at top of conference
BY MIKE DUNN
THE SHERIDAN PRESS
DAYTON — Bodies hit the court almost as
often as the ball did Saturday at Tongue River
High School.
In a tight, physical 73-70 overtime win
against 2A Northeast Conference opponent
Wright, the Tongue River Eagles basketball
team left everything it had, and then some, on
the court.
The result: the top spot in the conference.
“It’s the first time we have been 3-0 in conference in a long time,” senior captain Wyatt
Schumacher said.
From the opening whistle, the game looked
like a football game being played with a basketball.
The Eagles began by taking the Doug Flutie
approach in their transition offense, using a
barrage of hail-mary passes to an outlet at the
other end of the floor. It gave them a surprising amount of success, beginning the game
with an 8-0 run.
The Panthers caught on to Tongue River’s
strategy quickly. After getting burned several
times, Wright kept a man near the backcourt
to deny the long passing attempts.
Then it was the Panthers’ turn. In an offensive turnaround, Wright went on a 10-3 run,
capitalizing on opportunities from Tongue
River’s offensive and defensive miscues. The
two teams combined for a whopping 17
turnovers by the end of the first quarter.
Despite allowing eight points off of
turnovers, and four points off of offensive
rebounds, the Eagles somehow kept a 17-14
lead in the opening quarter.
Both teams traded their football cleats for
basketball shoes for the next eight minutes of
play. In a relatively controlled second quarter,
the Eagles and the Panthers traded leads.

Djokovic wins
5th Aussie
title, denies
Murray a 1st
MELBOURNE, Australia
(AP) — Novak Djokovic won
his fifth Australian Open
title and extended Andy
Murray’s misery at
Melbourne Park by beating
the Scotsman 7-6 (5), 6-7 (4),
6-3, 6-0 in the final Sunday.
Murray has now been a
losing finalist four times
here, losing twice previously to Djokovic in 2011 and
2013 and to Roger Federer in
2010.
Djokovic is a perfect 5-for-5
in Australian Open finals
and has eight Grand Slam
titles.
Djokovic swung momentum in a close match with a
service break in the eighth
game of the third set, winning four straight points.
When he took a 4-0 lead in
the last set, he smacked his
fist hard against his chest in
celebration.
At the end of the match,
Djokovic threw his racket
into the crowd at Rod Laver
Arena.
Roy Emerson, the only
other man with five or more
Australian titles, was in the
crowd and Djokovic
acknowledged the presence
of the six-time champion.
“I’m so grateful to be
standing here as a champion for the fifth time, and to
be in the elite group of players — Roy Emerson, Rod
Laver and all the legends of
our sport,” Djokovic said.
Murray sat slumped over
in his chair after the match,
awaiting the presentations,
and once again received the
runner-up plate instead of
the trophy.
“I had amazing support
again here,” Murray said.
“It’s been my most consistent Grand Slam of my
career. I haven’t been quite
able to win, but the support
I’ve received here has been
amazing. I’ll try and come
back next year and hopefully have a slightly different
outcome in the final.”
Djokovic faced three break
points in the third game of
the opening set but saved
them all, twice coming to
the net, including on game
point, to hold and take a 2-1
lead. He broke Murray in
the next game, but Murray
got back on serve when he
broke Djokovic in the seventh game.

Composed Lady Eagles win 55-46 over Wright
BY MIKE DUNN
THE SHERIDAN PRESS
DAYTON — At first glance, the
Tongue River Lady Eagles (11-5)
could be the most unassuming team
in the state. They aren’t flashy — no
one player stands out. They run a
disciplined and organized offense,
with an equally efficient zone
defense.
It was that discipline and efficiency
that gave the team a solid 55-46 victory against the Wright Lady Panthers
(11-6) on Saturday.
“The girls played tough,” head
coach Dianne Moser said. “When we
got into foul trouble, (other players)
stepped up.”
The game began at a slow, gradual
pace. Poor ball control on both sides
kept the game scoreless until three
minutes into the first quarter.
The Lady Eagles defensive pressure
handcuffed the Lady Panthers.
During the first quarter, Tongue
River forced three turnovers with the
help of a well-executed half-court
trap. But Wright countered with an
up-tempo transition offense and
earned six points off of the fast
break in the first quarter.
The Lady Panthers threw themselves a swat party in the first half.
Seven of the Lady Eagles' shots were
blocked, but that didn't stop the Lady
Eagles from driving inside. Eryn
Aksamit pounded the paint with
eight rebounds and eight points in
the first half. Through her efforts,
the Lady Eagles went into the intermission with a 24-21 lead.
When Aksamit got in foul trouble
in the second half, Tongue River
players rallied. Amanda Buller
began the quarter by sinking two
from behind the arch and Kylee
Knobloch dominated the boards
grabbing four off the glass.
The Lady Eagles found themselves
up by 10 with 5:20 in the third, but
they couldn’t shake off their opponent. The Lady Panthers clawed
their way back until they pulled
within one point with 6:54 left in the
game.
But the Lady Eagles kept their cool.
Calm and collected on the bench
and on the court, the Lady Eagles
managed to regroup. They immediately answered with two field goals
in as many possessions. Tongue
River went on a 10-4 run in the concluding minutes of the game.
Wright’s attempts to get the lead by
intentionally fouling were futile —
Tongue River knocked down all eight
of their free throws in the fourth
quarter.
Buller finished the game with 19
points and five rebounds while
Aksamit picked up a double-double
with 14 points and 10 rebounds.
The Tongue River Lady Eagles will
put their number one seat 2A
Northeast Conference on the line
against the neighboring Big Horn
Lady Rams (13-5) on Friday.
“It will be a tough game,” Moser
said. “You never know with these
rivalry games.”

Michigan St shuts out
Michigan in OT, beats Wolverines 76-66
EAST LANSING, Mich.
(AP) — Denzel Valentine’s
shooting touch returned
just in time to help
Michigan State avoid an
upset against its biggest
rival.
Valentine had 25 points,
seven rebounds and seven
assists, and the Spartans
held Michigan scoreless
in overtime, outlasting
the Wolverines 76-66 on
Sunday. Michigan State
recovered from a poor
start offensively and
allowed only two
Michigan baskets over
the last 10 minutes of the
game.
“It got scary, but at the
end of the day, it’s a rivalry game,” Valentine said.
“A lot of people thought it
was going to be easy.”
With two of their best
players on crutches, the
Wolverines (13-9, 6-4 Big
Ten) pushed Michigan
State throughout, but the
Spartans (15-7, 6-3) finally
put Michigan away in the
extra session. Branden
Dawson had 19 points and
10 rebounds, and Bryn
Forbes and Matt Costello
scored 10 points each for
Michigan State.
Spike Albrecht and
Muhammad-Ali Abdur-
Rahkman scored 18
points apiece for
Michigan, which was
without injured guards
Caris LeVert and Derrick
Walton. Zak Irvin added
11 points for the
Wolverines.
LeVert is out for the
season with a foot injury,
and Walton has been dealing with a toe problem
that apparently isn’t
going away anytime soon.
“We don’t anticipate
him being back for a
while,” Michigan coach
John Beilein said. “We
don’t have a definite date
yet but it won’t be in the
foreseeable future.”
Michigan State shot 29
percent in the first half
and 71 percent in the second.Valentine was coming off a 2-for-13 showing
in a win at Rutgers. He
was shooting only 29 percent from 3-point range in
league play before connecting four times from
beyond the arc in the first
half.
“Denzel worked on it
hard just like I knew he
would,” Spartans coach
Tom Izzo said. “His shooting doesn’t bother me
because I know how hard
he works at it, and I know
it’ll come back.”
Valentine did miss one
big free throw — the front
end of a one-and-one with
31 seconds left and
Michigan State up two.
Max Bielfeldt tied it at 66
on a tip-in with 20 seconds remaining, and
Travis Trice missed a 3pointer in the final seconds for the Spartans.
TIP-INS
Michigan: Irvin was 5 of
14 from the field. He’s
shooting 34 percent in Big
Ten play.
Michigan State: Trice
had nine assists, one
more than the whole
Michigan team.
SMOTHERING
Michigan took a 61-57
lead with 5:06 remaining
on a three-point play by
Aubrey Dawkins, but the
Spartans didn’t allow
another point until the
final minute of regulation. By then, Michigan
State was up by five, but a
3-pointer by Albrecht and
Bielfeldt’s tip-in forced
overtime.

Lady Rams winners of
five of last six games
BIG HORN — If the Big Horn
Lady Rams (13-5) were fatigued
from playing three games in three
days, they didn't let it show on the
scoreboard in their 41-19 win
against the Sundance Lady
Bulldogs (2-12) Saturday.
Lady Rams head coach Justin
Kidneigh said he was for the most
part pleased with his team's performance. After struggling to find
a rhythm in the beginning of the
game, his team stepped up and
played.
"We did OK," Kidneigh said. "It
wasn't quite as crisp as we wanted it to be, but I thought the girls
responded well and got lots of
open looks."
Bailey Bard led the Rams with
13 points followed by Emily
Blaney with 10. Big Horn has won
five out of their last six games.
"I thought we had great ball
movement," Kidneigh said. They
were running a 2-3, 3-2 and 1-3-1
zone, so we attacked the high-low
game."
The Lady Rams will square off
against the defending state champion this weekend when they take
on their Sheridan County rival
Tongue River. Big Horn is currently one game behind Tongue
River in 2A Northeast Conference
standings.
“It's a pretty big conference
game this next weekend; it can
determine a lot,” Kidneigh said.
“It’s only a matter of us being
able to move the ball against their
zone defense.”
Big Horn
boys back at .500
BIG HORN — The Big Horn
Rams (9-9) wrapped up a successful weekend with a dominating
win, beating the Sundance
Bulldogs (1-13) 72-47.
"Did really well," Rams head
coach Ryan Alley said. “We came
out with a lot of energy ... when
we had trouble, guys from the
bench really sparked this team.”
The game was out of reach
quickly. The Rams were up 26-11
in the first quarter and pushed
the lead to 47-19 at the half.
"We just played great defense
that first half," Alley said.
From there, the Rams continued
to put up fantastic offensive numbers. Big Horn was led by Corey
Sturza with 20 points, Collin
Powers with 13 and Wheaton
Williams with 10.
Since they took a 75-29 pummeling to Greybull on Jan. 17, the
Rams rallied to win their last four
games — three of which were
conference matches. The wins
also brought their record back up
to .500 for the first time since Jan.
9.
The Rams are sharing the top
spot of the 2A Northeast
Conference standings, but something will have to give this weekend. On Friday, the Rams go toeto-toe with the Tongue River
Eagles. Both teams are undefeated
in conference play.
“Being a district rivalry, there is
always a different intensity about
this game,” Alley said.
Lady Broncs keep rolling,
take down East 71-67
SHERIDAN — The Lady Broncs
took care of business against the
Cheyenne East Thunderbirds on
Saturday with a tight 71-67 win.
“This was a great weekend,"
head coach Jessica Pickett said. "I
am so proud of how this team has
performed."
The Lady Broncs were fighting
from behind for most of the game.
The tide turned, Pickett said,
after Emily Julian took two charging fouls near the end of the
game.
"Those were pretty big,” Pickett
said. “It really lit a fire for us."
Once again, the Lady Broncs
put up some stellar numbers.
Four players on their team put up
double-digits, including Robbi
Ryan with 20 and Jennae
Fieldgrove with 15. Dylan Wright
and Kaycen Townsend both contributed 10.
It’s the well-rounded team
efforts that has led to their success this season, Pickett said.
"These girls work so hard and
they play hard every game … we
are pretty balanced, when one
person stumbles, another person
steps up,” she said.
The 14-1 Broncs are tied for the
top spot in the 4A East with
Campbell County. That will come
to a head this Friday when the
Lady Broncs take on Campbell
County. The Lady Camels had an
impressive weekend after topping
both Cheyenne East and
Cheyenne Central.
SHS wrestlers win and
tie against tough
regional competition
SHERIDAN — Broncs head
wrestling coach Tyson Shatto
called it a successful weekend of
duels after beating Cheyenne
Central 45-22 and tying with
Cheyenne East 33-33 on Saturday.
Aside from the duel wins,
Shatto said it was good to see
regional competition after matching up with Laramie and
Cheyenne South the night before.
“It gives us a good feel for our
competition,” Shatto said. “We got
to see all 14 weight classes, so it
gives us a good feel of where we
are in our conference.”
Wyowrestling.com has Sheridan
ranked third behind Green River
and powerhouse Gillette.
Sheridan’s Hayden Hastings (152)
and Kerry Powers (195) are
ranked first in their respective
weight classes.
Still four weeks away from the
state tournament, Shatto said his
team has a lot of work to do to get
where they want to be.
“We still have some individuals
who need to turn some matches
around,” he said. “… we have
some guys who need to maintain
where they’re at and need to separate themselves from the competition. And we have some guys who
are on the losing end who need to
close the gap.”
The Broncs are headed to
Riverton this weekend to wrestle
in the Ron Thon Invite. A tournament which includes 44 Wyoming
teams from all classifications, the
Ron Thon is widely regarded as
the toughest tournament in the
state and even more competitive
than the state tournament itself.
Sheridan track takes
three first-place
finishes in Nebraska
SHERIDAN — Sheridan, Big
Horn and Tongue River sent their
indoor track teams to Chadron,
Nebraska, over the weekend to
compete in the Chadron State
College Winter Classic High
School Open.
It was another successful meet
for Sheridan High School. The
Broncs were led by Matt Scarlett,
and once again it was Peyton
Bomar setting the tone for the
Lady Broncs.
Scarlett brought home a firstplace finish in the 800-meter run
with a time of 2:03.15, and his
time of 4:32.72 was enough for
second place in the 1600-meter
run. He also anchored the 4x400meter relay team of Brian
Kjerstad, Jeffrey Shanor and Rion
Szatkowski for a third-place finish.
Although it was the first meet of
the season where Bomar didn’t
set a new school record in the
long jump, her jump of 17-feet-1.5inches was still enough to win the
event. Bomar added a fifth-place
finish in 55-meter hurdles and
joined Amanda Buckler, Madesta
Shepard and Gabby Edeen for a
third-place finish in the 4x400meter relay.
Christian Mayer was the top
competitor for Big Horn, finishing third in the 55-meter dash.
Tongue River’s Sarah Bacon led
the way for the Eagles with a
fourth-place finish in girls shot
put.
Other top-eight finishers from
the weekend include:
Sheridan High School

Broncs fall to East 68-61
SHERIDAN — The Cheyenne
East Thunderbirds (10-3) issued
the Sheridan Broncs (9-5) their
first conference loss of the season
on Saturday in a 68-61 loss.
“We just let some opportunities
slip away from us,” Sheridan
head coach Gale Smith said.
The Broncs got off to a slow
start in the first half, turning the
ball over several times. After
trailing by 11 at intermission,
Sheridan was able to cut the lead
to six midway through the third
quarter. However, Sheridan’s leading scorer, Dylan Daniels, got into
early foul trouble, and the team
started to lose momentum.
“I think we had a chance to win
it if he played the whole game,”
Smith said.
Daniels finished the game with
a team-leading 21 points. Blake
Godwin contributed 15 and Zach
Campbell scored 11.
At 3-1 in conference, the Broncs
still have a half-game lead over
Cheyenne East in the 4A East.
The Broncs are headed to
Gillette Friday to take on the
Campbell County Camels. Despite
the Camels’ 6-9 record, Smith said
it’s bound to be a dogfight.
“In these rivalry games, you
have to throw these records out
the window — it doesn’t really
matter,” Smith said. “There is
going to be high-energy on both
teams. There will be a big crowd.
It will come down to whoever settles in first and maintains their
composure.”
SC hoopers lose three of
four games on the road
SHERIDAN — After getting off
to a solid start on Friday, it was a
rough weekend for the Sheridan
College basketball teams.
The Lady Generals took down
Western Wyoming 93-83 to kickoff
the weekend Friday, a game that
Sheridan controlled pretty much
the whole way.
But the tide quickly turned
when the Sheridan College men
took the floor right after, eventually losing 88-70 to Western
Wyoming.
Despite shooting 50 percent
from the field, Sheridan has
struggled beating opponents who
control the glass, and the
Generals were outrebounded 39-24
in the game.
The men and women were in
Casper the following evening, and
the struggles carried over into
Saturday’s contests.
Some of the momentum carried
over for the Lady Generals as
they beat the Thunderbirds by
five in the first half, led by Tiana
Hanson’s 18 first-half points. But
as the inside game disappeared
for Sheridan, so did their lead.
Casper College grinded their way
to a lead in the second half and
would never give it up again on
their way to a 72-64 final.
The Lady Generals scored just
eight points off their bench, and
only two players finished in double figures for Sheridan.
Hanson finished the game with
24 points, and Zuzana Talackova
had 18.
For the men, the momentum
shift happened much sooner.
Sheridan scored a few quick buckets before Casper took over for
good on their way to an 80-67 win
over the Generals.
Sheridan couldn’t get anything
going offensively. The 67 points
are the lowest they have scored all
season.
A bright spot for the Generals
came from freshman guard
Terrell Butler, who was recently
inserted into the starting lineup
and scored 19 points against
Casper.
Jamir Andrews added 18, and
Pablo Rivas led the Generals on
Friday with 20 points.
The two losses put the Generals
on a three-game skid. They will
look to bounce back this weekend
when both the Generals and the
Lady Generals battle Central
Wyoming and Northwest at the
Bruce Hoffman Golden Dome.

SUPER: MVP Brady joins elite company with record fourth Super Bowl win
FROM B1
Yet Sunday night, when coach Bill
Belichick was asked when he knew he had
a special team, he pointed to halftime of
that poor performance against the Chiefs.
"We weren't having a good day, but we
kept fighting," Belichick said. "To me, if
there was ever a time that we were not
going to compete as hard, that would have
been it. ... The fight and the competitiveness was there, and that gave me a lot of
confidence going into the next week's game.
That was a key point in our season."
And so perhaps these Patriots were prepared to weather the scrutiny that came
with an NFL investigation into whether
they deliberately deflated footballs in the
AFC championship game two weeks ago.
They compartmentalized that and focused
on the Super Bowl.
Perhaps they were prepared to set aside
Brady's two interceptions that helped dig a
24-14 hole in the fourth quarter. They
moved into the lead after Brady connected
with Danny Amendola from 4 yards out for
one score with about 8 minutes left, then
hit Julian Edelman from 3 yards for another TD with 2:02 remaining.
Perhaps they were prepared to not let the
game get away when Seahawks receiver
Jermaine Kearse made a falling, juggling,
bouncing reception on his back for a 33yard gain that set up first-and-goal from the
5 with 66 seconds to go. It was Butler who
was in coverage on that play, although there
was nothing more he really could have
done.
Perhaps they were prepared for a shotgun
pass by Wilson two plays later from the 1,
rather than a run by the barrel-chested
Lynch, who tied for the league lead in
touchdown runs this season with 13.
Butler sure was ready, and his pick sealed
the ultimate outcome, even if everyone had
to wait while the officials cleared up a fieldwide brawl.
"When they passed the ball, I was kind of
surprised by it," Patriots nose tackle Vince
Wilfork said. "But at the same time, we
made the play."
Lynch gained 102 yards on 24 carries and
scored an earlier TD, leaving many mystified as to why Seattle wouldn't have handed
off to him in that vital situation.
Even some of the Seahawks were bewildered.
"I don't understand how you don't give it
to the best back in the league," linebacker
Bruce Irvin said. "We were on the half-yardline and we throw a slant. I don't know
what the offense had going on, what they
saw."
With the retractable roof open on a cloudless evening, the Patriots (15-4) won the
fourth Lombardi Trophy of the BradyBelichick partnership, adding to those from
the Super Bowls played in 2002, '04 and '05.
They lost their last two trips to the big
game, though, in 2008 and 2012, both times
against the New York Giants.
This time, though, Brady and New
England pulled it out — and in the process,
prevented Seattle (14-5) from the ninth set
of back-to-back Super Bowl championships.
At age 37, Brady went 37 for 50 for 328
yards and matched his childhood idol, Pro
Football Hall of Famer Joe Montana, for
most Super Bowl MVP awards. Brady also
broke Montana's Super Bowl record for
most career touchdown passes, getting to
13. On the drive that resulted in the winning points, Brady went 8 for 8 for 65 yards.
"He's so calm and collected," Amendola
said about his quarterback. "He's the best.
He gets everybody to play at a higher level.
He's our leader emotionally."
Didn't matter that the Seahawks came in
with an eight-game winning streak. Or that
their defense, led by Richard Sherman and
the self-styled "Legion of Boom" secondary,
was the first in more than 40 years to lead
the NFL in fewest points allowed three seasons in a row.
This was going to be the Patriots' day.
Belichick's day. Brady's day.
"I've been at it for 15 years, and we've had
a couple of tough losses in this game,"
Brady said. "This one came down to the
end, and this time, we made the plays."

HELPING A FRIEND
WHO'S HAD TOO MUCH
BY MICHAEL ROIZEN,
M.D., AND MEHMET OZ,
M.D.
"The Hangover" series took
in over $1.4 BILLION worldwide; apparently people love
to watch guys who drink too
much too quickly and make
horrible decisions. So perhaps the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention's
recent announcement that 38
million American adults
binge-drink around four
times a month (downing
eight drinks per binge)
shouldn't surprise us. But it
does worry us. While a sip o'
the grape may be good for
you, too much alcohol is
toxic.
Just recently, the CDC
reported that six Americans
die every day from alcohol
poisoning. Seventy-five percent of them are white guys
34-65 years old. Only around
30 percent of those who die
are alcoholics; the rest are
bingers who got too far over
the line.
Alcohol is a poison that the
liver must filter out of the
blood. Take in too much, too
quickly, and the liver cannot
do its job. Then areas of the
brain that control breathing,
heart rate and body temperature can be seriously
depressed.
So here's what to do if you
see one of your friends bingeing, acting confused, passing
in and out of awareness, having difficulty breathing, vomiting and cold clammy skin:
Try to keep 'em awake; if
your pal passes out, position
the person on his or her side,
not the back; then call 911.
Don't think, "Hey, they'll sleep
it off."
Remember: Drinking one
glass of wine a day for
women and one to two for
men protects the heart and
increases longevity. Drink
moderately, and you'll stick
around to enjoy more good
times with friends.

lem with blushing. Whenever
I'm the center of attention,
even if it's with just one
other person, my face goes
bright red. This even happens when I'm not feeling
embarrassed.
I've learned to cope with
the feeling of my face flushing. What I'm having trouble
with is people's comments
about why my face is so red.
I've never been able to come
up with a good response.
Telling them I'm not really
embarrassed is met with
skepticism. Please help. -RED-FACED IN MEMPHIS
DEAR RED-FACED: My
advice is to be upfront and
tell the questioner that you
don't know why it happens,
but you're not embarrassed.
As you already know, blushing can happen if someone
suffers from a social phobia.
In cases like that, counseling
and support groups can help.
However, because you find it
happening even when you are
not pressured or embarrassed, discuss it with your
physician to be sure there
isn't an underlying physical
problem.
DEAR ABBY: I've been dating my 42-year-old boyfriend,
"Mike," for a year. I love him,
but he's a heavy drinker. He
has a glass or two of whiskey
on a daily basis and goes
through a huge bottle of
whiskey every weekend. (He
also drinks beer like water.)
When I asked him to cut
back, he refused because he
"loves" whiskey. I have never
seen him drunk or act intoxicated, so he obviously has a
high tolerance.
It bothers me that Mike
drinks so much and that he
won't cut back. I told him I
wouldn't marry him unless
he does. My problem is, I
don't know whether he's an
alcoholic since he doesn't
ever show signs of intoxication. I've been told that alcoholism is a progressive disease and that it will only
increase.
What constitutes an alcoholic? Is it possible for Mike
to drink every day but not be
one? I don't want to lose him,
but he also has a very bad
temper, and I'm afraid it's not
a good combination if we
were to get married. -- TORN
IN NORTH CAROLINA
DEAR TORN: You are right
to be concerned. Even if
Mike promised "not to drink
so much," he might backslide
on his promise after the wedding.
Also, has it occurred to you
that the whiskey may be part
of what is causing Mike's
bad temper? Large quantities
of alcohol have been known
to alter a person's perception,
and the results can be explosive. If you haven't already
done so, consider attending
an Al-Anon meeting, which
may confirm this.
I'm not a medical doctor,
but it would be interesting to
know what your boyfriend's
physician thinks about the
amount of alcohol he consumes, because the quantity
you say Mike puts away may
put him at risk for cirrhosis
of the liver.
This may be more information than you asked for,
but I don't think Mike is marriage material because it
appears he is already wedded
to his bottle.

Wednesday, an advisor for Manziel
said in a statement released by the
team on Monday.
"Johnny knows there are areas he
needs to improve on to help him be
a better family member, friend and
teammate, so he decided to take this
step in his life during the offseason,"
Manziel advisor Brad Beckworth
said. Beckworth says the former
Heisman Trophy winner and his
family are asking for privacy until
he rejoins the team in Cleveland.
Beckworth's statement did not indicate reasons for Manziel needing
treatment. The location of the facility where Manziel is staying was
not immediately known.
Browns general manager Ray
Farmer said in a statement that the
team fully supports Manziel and respects his initiative in entering
treatment. He says the team will respect Manziel's privacy during
treatment.
Citing privacy laws, a Browns
spokesman declined to provide any
further information about Manziel's
situation.
Manziel, who won the Heisman as
a freshman at Texas A&M where his
playmaking skills earned him his
"Johnny Football" nickname, has
faced questions for several years
about a penchant for partying.
The 22-year-old has often dismissed criticism, saying he intends
to live his life the way he wants.
Manziel had a sometimes turbulent
rookie season after joining the
B5
McIlroy switches focus to
lawsuit against former agent
Browns, who moved up in last
May's draft to select him in the first
round.
Manziel spent the majority of the
season as Brian Hoyer's backup before making two starts.
Manziel made his first start on
Dec. 14 against Cincinnati, but he
appeared unprepared and overmatched as the Bengals defense harassed him into two interceptions.
The next week, Manziel started at
Carolina but got hurt on a running
play and sat out the season finale.
He was then fined by the team for
missing a medical treatment.
Manziel vowed to change his ways
following the season, apologizing to
Cleveland's fans and his teammates
for being a distraction.
"It's about actions," he said on Dec.
29. "It's about being accountable and
doing what I'm going to say."
DUBLIN (AP) — Fresh off
his first tournament win of
the year, Rory McIlroy will
switch his focus from the
course to a courtroom on
Tuesday for the start of his
multi-million dollar case
against his former management company.
The four-time major winner initiated the case
against Dublin-based Horizon Sports Management and
its leading agent at the end
of 2013, claiming he was misled into signing a contract
with the company.
McIlroy has said in court
papers that he signed the
contract at Horizon’s Christmas party “in circumstances of great informality”
and without having seen a
draft of the agreement be-
fore it was given to him to
sign.
Horizon is counter-suing,
claiming McIlroy owes it
millions of dollars in commission.
McIlroy, who left Horizon
to form his own management company in 2013, is expected to testify in court this
week. He is coming off a victory at the Dubai Desert
Classic on Sunday.
Speaking before the tournament, McIlroy said he
hopes the court case “won’t
take that long, and we can
get on with our lives.”
“It’s not something you
want hanging over your
head and it’s not something
I’d want anyone to go
through, it’s not a nice
process,” McIlroy said.

Hints from Heloise
Dear Readers: Here is this
week's SOUND OFF, about donations to shelters:
"I volunteer at a large homeless shelter in the Midwest. I
sort donations, and my Sound
Off is that careless donors donate trash to us. What I mean is
that we receive useless items:
furniture laden with bedbugs,
personal household trash and
even clothes all ripped to
shreds. The homeless shelter is
not a trash dump. It is an opportunity to enrich the lives of
a homeless person whom you
may never meet with the valuable clothing that you share." -A Peeved Volunteer, via email
Dear Peeved: You have said
what I've been printing for
years. Volunteers give their
time and do not need to waste it
by sorting through what should
be TRASH. A charity is not the
place to pass on junk and totally unusable items. Would
you want to receive a stained,
torn T-shirt? I think not. Please
think before donating useless
items. -- Heloise
FAST FACTS
Dear Readers: Here are other
uses for bobby pins:
Heloise
* Use the end to
make nail-polish designs.
* Keep measuring
tapes, etc., rolled
up.
* As a bookmark.
* Place on a roll of tape to find
the end.
* To clean small crevices.

BAKED ITALIAN CHICKEN
Dear Readers: Many have
asked about the Heloise recipe
for quick-and-easy baked Italian chicken. This is a "throw it
all together and let it cook"
kind of recipe you will love. At
your request:
HELOISE'S EASY BAKED
ITALIAN CHICKEN:
* 1 whole cut-up chicken
* 1 or 2 medium onions,
peeled and sliced
* 4 medium potatoes, cut into
bite-size pieces (peeled or not)
* 1 (8-ounce) bottle of Italian
salad dressing
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a casserole dish
with nonstick spray. Put in
chicken pieces and cover with
Italian dressing, then place
onion and potatoes on top and
bake for about 1 hour, or until
done. This is a favorite recipe.
To find out what many of my
other all-time favorite recipes
are, order my pamphlet. To receive, send $5 and a long, selfaddressed, stamped (70 cents)
envelope to: Heloise/ Recipes,
P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio,
TX 78279-5001. This is a chicken
recipe that can be changed to
your liking. Add bell peppers,
bite-size carrots, sliced celery
or anything else you would
like! -- Heloise
COLOR NAME
Dear Heloise: I color my hair
and had trouble remembering
which color to buy. I cut off a
small section of the box that
lists the color name and number. I keep it with my coupons,
and now I don't buy the wrong
one. -- S.D. in California
HAMBURGER BUNS
Dear Heloise: When my family has hamburgers, we always
have leftover buns. Instead of
letting them go to waste, we use
them for sandwiches. My son
loves peanut butter and jelly,
and it doesn't matter if it is on
bread or a bun! -- N.M. in Colorado

EVEN A
TWO CAN
HAVE ITS
DAY IN THE
SUN
Elvis Presley said, "I have no use
for bodyguards, but I
have a very special use
for two highly trained
certified public accountants."
Wouldn't we all like to
be in that position?
Today is 2/2, so it
seems only fair if a two
plays a key role in a
deal. This one comes
from "Right Through the
Pack" by Robert Darvas
and Norman de Villiers
Hart, which is a fun
book containing 52 chapters -- one for each card
in the deck.
How does the spade
two become critical in
this deal? South is in
five spades doubled.
West leads the heart ace,
and South ruffs with his
spade three. What happens after that?
The book was originally published in 1948,
when bidding was much
less refined. Today, West
would make a two-heart
weak jump overcall. And
North, over one heart,
would make a negative
double (or perhaps
pass). As it went, no
doubt North should have
doubled five hearts
and collected the
500-point penalty.
But the vulnerability and the necessity not to ruin the
story required him
to bid five spades.
East understandably thought he
could defeat that
contract.
At the table,
South led his spade
queen at trick two.
East won with his
spade ace and returned a heart.
South carefully
ruffed with his
spade king, not the
two, then led that
two to dummy's

BIRTHDAY GAL: Actress
Bridget Regan was born in
San Diego County, Calif.,
today in 1982. This birthday
gal starred as Kahlan Amnell in the TV series "Legend of the Seeker" and has
played recurring roles on
"White Collar," "Beauty and
the Beast" and "Jane the
Virgin." On the big screen,
Regan has appeared in such
films as "John Wick," "The
Best and the Brightest" and
"The Babysitters."
ARIES (March 21-April
19): Color outside the lines.
Peer pressure may be a factor. Others might urge you
to explore areas outside the
usual boundaries. Go ahead
and let your hair down with
trusted companions.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20): Industrious individuals
will have more than enough
energy to start major projects and see them through
to completion. Try not to
step on any toes in your
rush to make a big splash.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
You're mentally adept and
can ferret out secrets with
little effort. You may see an
opportunity to profit from
news or information. Share
your ideas and discoveries
with friends.
CANCER (June 21-July
22): Under the light of
today's Full Moon you may
become more aware of your
financial health or notice
an increase in income.
Make good use of your improved awareness of profitable activities.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):
There's a Full Moon in your
sign today and it may make
you more aware of emotional issues and ways to
make a dynamic change in
your habits. You can replace bad habits with good
ones.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Maintain a positive outlook
and look on the bright side,
no matter how negative and
moody your companions
may be. Worry and concerns about a significant
other could hamper your
progress.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
Think outside the box. Competitors might have the
muscle, but you have the
brains to make any contest
into a win-win situation.
nine. Now the contract
could not be defeated.
Declarer lost only two
trump tricks.
Of course, if East had
been a spoilsport, he
would not have won the
second trick. Then
South would have had to
fail.
Jeraldine Saunders
Someone might offer a compromise in order to win.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.
21): Capitalize on your
grasp of the hard, cold facts.
Present yourself with a
pleasant aura of congeniality and generosity even
when you're secretly concerned about your bank balance.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Listen to your
heart, but when good advice
comes around, follow that,
as well. This might be a
good time to make a crucial
decision. A new playmate
might only be a fair
weather friend.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): The need to make important changes becomes
evident today. You must
muster the determination,
resiliency and stamina to
follow through on both
promises and plans.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18): Others close to you are
full of fascinating information and may surprise you
by revealing their fantasies.
Friendships can move to a
higher level due to the discovery of mutual interests.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20): Be glad you are you.
There's no need to put dramatic overtones on your
troubles or create an illusion of something that doesn't exist. If you're kind to
others they'll be kind to
you.
IF FEBRUARY 3 IS YOUR
BIRTHDAY: You may enjoy
a period of smooth sailing
during the next 4-6 weeks
and can fully enjoy a new
job, promotion, or important milestone in your life.
Even so, now it is the time
to come down from the
clouds and think about responsibility and obligations. Mid-April is the best
time to make key changes
or decisions about finances.
Whatever ground you have
won can only be retained by
hard work and dedication,
especially in May when you
could easily be deceived or
distracted by wishful thinking. Look for a permanent
improvement in some important facet of your life in
October.

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.
