stated above. Delinquent taxes
were deducted where owing.
Roll Call: Aye: Johnson, Olson,

There was no correspondence to review.
Beth Fiegenschuh, Cheyenne
County Clerk, addressed the
Board regarding a Contractual
Interest Statement concerning a
contract with Schuh Rentals, LLC
for the rental of a storage unit
to be used for evidence storage.
On May 1, 2006, the Board of
Commissioners entered into a
contract between the County
and Schuh Rentals, LLC for the
rental of a storage unit. The
Board discussed the Contractual
Interest Statement presented
by Clerk Fiegenschuh disclosing
the fact that Fiegenschuh is the
sole member of Schuh Rentals,
LLC.
The Board is and was
on May 1, 2006 fully aware of
the relationship between Clerk
Fiegenschuh and Schuh Rentals,
LLC. A motion was made by
Olson, seconded by Sanders
declaring that the Board is, and
was on May 1, 2006, fully aware
of the relationship between
Fiegenschuh and Schuh Rentals,
LLC and reaffirms the approval of the contract with Schuh
Rentals, LLC for the rental of
a storage unit to be used for
evidence storage for the County
Sheriff. Roll Call: Aye: Olson,

The Contractual Interest
Statement also applies to
Dick’s Flooring, LLC. At different times, carpeting and flooring services and products are
needed for the various County

considered and from time-totime awarded to Dick’s Flooring,
LLC.
The sole member of Dick’s
Flooring, LLC is Richard A.
Fiegenschuh, Jr., spouse of Clerk
Fiegenschuh. The Board is and
has been aware of this relationship. If the Board enters
into an agreement to purchase
services from Dick’s Flooring,
LLC, it will be necessary to
make a separate disclosure for
every transaction, regardless
of the amount. If the Board
enters into an open contract
with Dick’s Flooring, LLC, the
Board can make purchases as
needed. This open contract in
no way will preclude the Board
from obtaining bids for projects
involving flooring and carpeting services and products. The
only purpose for entering into
an open contract with Dick’s
Flooring, LLC is for conflict of
interest and disclosure purposes for Clerk Fiegenschuh.
A

seconded by Olson to enter into
an open contract with Dick’s
Flooring, LLC as above stated.
Roll Call: Aye: Sanders, Olson,

Hume, the owner and operator
of RK Electric, is the spouse
of Debra Hume, Clerk of the
District Court.
The Board is
aware of this relationship. If
the Board enters into an agreement to purchase services from
RK Electric, it will be necessary to make a separate disclosure for every transaction,
regardless of the amount. If
the Board enters into an open
contract with RK Electric, the
Board can make purchases as
needed. This open contract in

Practice Democracy. Read your Legal Notices.
They’re crucial to Democracy.
The reason publication of legal notices is required in newspapers is YOU, the citizen. In a Democracy, the government is required to
inform you of the public business, because you and your neighbors are the basis for government. These notices provide essential
information about all local government entities, including schools, cities, villages and counties. A Democracy is a system of checks and
balances. Your right to know and be informed is a check on government. Public notices shed light on the actions of all governmental
bodies, but it’s up to you, the citizen, to read them and obtain more information if necessary about the actions that impact you.

name. But when she married years
later, it was to a man whose name
was even harder to spell and pronounce than hers.
When I taught elementary
school in the ‘70s, the principal
suggested that it might be easier
for students to call me something
other than my last name, as long
as it started with “Mister.” On my
first day, I wrote my name on the
board and told the students what
the principal had said. They voted
to call me “Mister John.” I remember one open house when a parent
addressed me by my last name.
Their daughter immediately interrupted to say they were incorrect.
I was “Mister John.” — Hard To
Spell Last Name
Dear Annie: My sister’s son,
“Jared,” lives close to us but far
from his mother. We always invite
them to family get-togethers, but
are never sure whether they will
show up. Sometimes they don’t
respond, sometimes they show up
without responding, and sometimes
they call at the last minute to say
they are sick and can’t come.
Jared was raised by my sister
and her second husband. When my
sister comes to visit Jared, his wife,
“Claire,” stays in her room. She
doesn’t come out to say hello or
goodbye. The excuse is that she’s
“not well.” My sister only comes
three times a year for a couple of
days because she wants to see their
grandchildren. Claire does nothing
for the kids. Her parents, who live
with them, take care of the children.
Jared’s biological father has
been out of his life since he was a
child. But a few years ago, a biological aunt looked up my nephew
and contacted Claire. Ever since,
Claire has been friendly to the biodad’s family, inviting them over
and spending holidays with them.
But she totally ignores our side of
the family.
There are periodic episodes of
almost bizarre friendliness from
Claire, and we always eagerly respond to these moments, but they
are few and far between and never
result in closer ties.
We’ve been told that Claire has
a wonderful, outgoing personality
at work. But with us, she barely
communicates. She and Jared
don’t socialize with friends, either.
I think Claire may suffer from
depression or bipolar disease. I realize it is Jared’s place to speak up,
but he’s very non-confrontational
and becomes defensive.
What is the best way to handle
Jared and Claire? My sister just
accepts the situation because she
can’t do anything about it. — Illinois Aunt
Dear Aunt: Your sister is
right. When you cannot change an
unpleasant situation, you need to
step back, lower your expectations
and let it go. Claire is rude and
disrespectful, and she is nicer to
the bio-family because they are less
connected to Jared and therefore
less threatening to her. You certainly have reason to stop inviting
them over, but if you would rather
continue seeing Jared and his
children, you will have to tolerate
Claire.
Dear Annie: My wife and I are
75, with children, grandchildren
and great-grandchildren. We are
still paying off our credit card bills
from Christmas.
It’s difficult for us to shop. We
don’t know what they want and
can’t afford much. My wife does a
great job purchasing clothing and
toys, but they don’t seem terribly
happy to open the presents. We
still have a gift in our house for one
great-granddaughter because her
parents don’t care enough to pick
it up. Of course, none of the adult
grandchildren has ever purchased
us a gift.
What is a solution for people our
age whose gift-buying increases
every year and the recipients don’t
seem to appreciate it? I told my
wife that maybe we should give a
donation in their name. — Grandpa
Dear Grandpa: A donation is
lovely, provided they don’t object
to the charity you have selected. Or
give each child a tin of Grandma’s
special cookies or Grandpa’s favorite tea. Great-grandchildren can
be “given” an evening with you,
popcorn and a rented movie. Please
don’t go broke trying to please kids
who don’t know how to be grateful.
Dear Annie: This is for “Uncle
Joe,” the 88-year-old mentally ill
uncle whose sister insists that he
be invited to holiday gatherings.
The key message is: “He ruins it
for everybody.” If he refuses help,
leave him out and tell him why.
I was 70 years old before I was
diagnosed with bipolar disorder
and depression. I was put on the
right medication and never looked
back. It is not too late for Joe, but
if he is too stubborn for treatment,
leave him home. — Been There
