That trend still stands. Candidate Mark Jennings won the election for House District 30 with 2,068 votes, beating challenger Val Burgess, who received 341 write-in votes. There were a total of 544 write-in votes. Jennings beat incumbent Rep. Kathy Coleman, R-Sheridan, in the primary election and was set to run uncontested in the general election.

Balow defeated Democrat Mike Ceballos in Tuesday's election. She is a former teacher and an administrator for the Department of Family Services, and she cited her experience in the school system as making her most qualified for the job. Ceballos is a retired telephone company executive. During the Balow campaign, he touted his experience as a businessman comfortable with managing large budgets. Balow will succeed Cindy Hill, who didn't seek re-election to focus on her bid for governor, which she lost. One of the first challenges will be to stabilize a system that saw significant staffing turnover under Hill. Voters reject nonresident UW trustees CHEYENNE (AP) — Voters have rejected a ballot initiative that would have allowed out-of-state residents to serve as University of Wyoming trustees. Constitutional Amendment A would have allowed the governor to appoint up to two nonresidents to the 13-member board. The appointees would have been required to have past or continuing involvement with the university. Supporters of the amendment said it has been a mistake to ignore the potential contributions of UW graduates just because they don't live in Wyoming. Opponents said there are enough talented people in Wyoming to serve as trustees.

JUSTIN SHEELY | THE SHERIDAN PRESS PJ Treide, project manager of HealthLinkNow, works from his office Tuesday at the Sheridan Business Incubator on Double Eagle Drive in Sheridan. Treide has been using the office space since 2012. Change in managing organization to free up Forward Sheridan BY HANNAH SHEELY THE SHERIDAN PRESS SHERIDAN — Sheridan will become the third city in Wyoming to house a branch of the Wyoming Technology Business Center, a business development program launched by the University of Wyoming in 2006 to help entrepreneurs grow their business start-ups. Sheridan County Commissioners voted Tuesday to sign an agreement with UW that will allow the Wyoming Technology Business Center to operate the Sheridan Business Incubator. The incubator is located in the Hi-Tech Business Park east of Interstate 90 on Double Eagle Drive off of East Ridge Road. It is currently operated by Forward Sheridan. �What we have seen over the years is that we have the potential now for the university to come in and take that to a higher level.’ Renee Obermueller Sheridan County administrative director County Administrative Director Renee Obermueller said county officials felt it was time to take the business incubator to the next level. “What we have seen over the years is that we have a potential now for the university to come in and take that to a higher level,” Obermueller said. ”Forward Sheridan cannot dedicate 100 percent of their time to growing business. They have a menagerie of other commitments and their mission statement doesn’t say, �We are going to be an incubator facility operator.’” With the agreement signed, the Sheridan Business Incubator will become a branch of the WTBC, joining similar facilities in Laramie and Casper to become the third incubator in the state managed by the WTBC. Since there cannot be two operators of the business incubator, Forward Sheridan will relocate to the space in the old county courthouse formerly occupied by the UW Cooperative Extension Service, Obermueller said. That space is currently occupied by the county attorney’s office, which will move back into its old building once renovations are complete, likely in December. The Sheridan Business Incubator began in 2010 when the county was awarded a Wyoming Business Council grant to purchase the property. “Forward Sheridan saw an opportunity to create this incubator environment for start-up businesses that needed a place to hang their hat until they got off the ground while they were in that elementary or start-up period,” Obermueller said. There are currently four tenants in the incubator space: software solutions company IO Services, Inc.; Sheridan Programmers Guild/OMP Engineering, a programming consultant and engineering firm; HealthLinkNow, a telemedicine provider for mental health care; and Tall Grass Capital Partners, a merchant banking firm for early stage energy technology companies that service the energy sector. Those business start-ups and any others the Wyoming Technology Business Center can recruit will receive one-on-one business counseling with WTBC Assistant Director John Dick, who will move to Sheridan in January to manage the WTBCSheridan Area business incubator. WTBC CEO Jonathon Benson will also work with the businesses on regular visits to Sheridan, according to a media release. “Sheridan is an exciting entrepreneurial community with a lot of potential for highgrowth companies,” Benson said. All five companies that have graduated from the WTBC incubator program have multi-million dollar annual revenues and collectively employ more than 135 people and lease more than 21,000 square feet of office space in their respective communities. Also on Tuesday, commissioners approved a cooperative funding agreement with the city of Sheridan to fund the business incubator facility. That agreement states that the city and the county shall each pay equal semi-annual payments for a period of four years for WTBC services. Installments from each entity will be $42,500 in January and July of 2015 and $40,000 twice yearly in 2016, 2017 and 2018. In other business, county commissioners: • approved an amendment to the Sheridan County Fairgrounds water system upgrade project to have EnTech, Inc. perform construction administration duties for the remainer of the project. County Grants Administrator Mike Mackey was acting as the project administrator but has left Sheridan to take a job in Cody. The county will pay EnTech, Inc. up to an additional $34,648 for the revised services. • awarded a bid for fairgrounds Exhibit Hall upgrades and upgrades to the Grandstand bathrooms to enhance ADAaccessibility to O’Dell Construction, the lowest of three bidders for the projects. Exhibit Hall upgrades were bid at $403,250 and Grandstand bathroom upgrades were bid at $5,200. Obermueller said much of the project cost would be paid with State Loan and Investment Board Countywide Consensus grant funds, but the county will need to come up with additional funds to cover the higher than expected costs. • approved two conditional use permits for two 195-foot cell towers near Clearmont. One tower will be located on Chad and Debra Klaahsen’s land about 150 feet east of County Road 219, and the other will be located on Robert and Mary Moore’s land about 600 feet south of U.S. Highway 14/16. The towers will be operated by Mercury Towers and will be able to hold up to four major wireless carriers and some smaller carriers. • approved receipt of a notice of vacancy on the Wild Rose Water Improvement and Service District. Commissioners will appoint members to fill the positions of president, vice president and secretary/treasurer at their meeting Nov. 18. Miss something in a recent edition of The Sheridan Press?

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2014 www.thesheridanpress.com THE SHERIDAN PRESS A3 Gun stolen from Sheridan in 1973 shows up in Minnesota BY KELLI HEITSTUMAN-TOMKO THE SHERIDAN PRESS SHERIDAN — It was anything but a typical interagency call. The sheriff ’s office in Clay County, Minnesota, notified the Sheridan Police Department to say they’d found property that had been reported stolen in Sheridan. The property? One Colt .45 caliber semi-automatic handgun. The year it was stolen? 1973. The Ritz Sporting Goods on South Main Street was owned by Sam Henry Mavrakis and was a centerpiece of downtown Sheridan. The store not only sold hunting and fishing equipment, but also led fly fishing expeditions. Among its customers were Joe DiMaggio, George H. W. Bush, Prince Philip of England and Queen Elizabeth. The store was broken into the night of June 6, 1973, and nearly 40 firearms were stolen. According to Sam Paul Mavrakis, who was only 11 at the time of the break in, some of the stolen weapons were recovered in the 1990s. “I think they’d just backed a truck into the doors and threw a bunch of guns into it,” Mavrakis said. The case remains unsolved. “The insurance paid out,” Det. Sgt. Travis Koltiska of the Sheridan Police Department said. “Now the Ritz no longer exists and the insurance company no longer exists.” But now, 41 years after the burglary, Minnesota may have a lead. “They got a call (for assistance) out there and the caller advised dispatch he was armed and would defend himself if necessary,” Koltiska said. “There was no incident, but they took the gun and ran the serial number through (National Crime Information Center).” The NCIC hit came back to Sheridan. Koltiska said the individual who had been in possession of the gun had not owned it long enough to have been the Ritz burglar in 1973. The authorities in Minnesota have identified the gun’s previous owner, and Koltiska said it’s up to them to determine how the gun came to be in his possession. Clay County investigators have not returned any calls for additional information on the case. As for the gun, Koltiska said it’s worthless. “It’s in really bad shape,” he said. “No one is going to want to own this.” Patton hangs on to House District 29 seat BY HANNAH SHEELY THE SHERIDAN PRESS SHERIDAN — Rep. John Patton, R-Sheridan, will now enter his fourth term as a representative in the state Legislature and said he looks forward to continuing to serve Sheridan County and the state with the well-respected Sheridan and Johnson counties delegation. Patton won the House District 29 seat with 2,012 votes. He beat write-in challenger Darryl Szymanski who received 44 writein votes. There were 157 total write-in votes in the race. Throughout his campaign, Patton has highlighted both the health of the state and the need for changes, particularly in education. Patton Patton said this morning that his interim committee work as chairman of the select committee on capital financing and investments has made him optimistic about the state’s financial health. He said income from oil and gas royalties looks like it will be stable for at least the next 2 1/2 years. He hopes to continue his work with education and finance and has also said he’d like to address needed improvements in transportation around the state, especially air service in Sheridan County, the needs and concerns of Sheridan County’s older residents and what he sees as an inappropriate use of footnotes in budget appropriations, which can eliminate legislative deliberation. “I look at the coming session as being an opportunity, a positive one, and I’m really desirous to be part of it,” Patton said. “I am pretty humbled by the turnout.” Patton said several issues in his committee work this year will likely be important in the 2015 Legislative session. One major issue that legislators will need to address is how to reinstate the state education system following the Wyoming Supreme Court’s ruling that Senate File 104 was unconstitutional. The roles and duties of the state superintendent of public instruction and the Department of Education will need to be reviewed and reinstated. Patton said there may be amendments made along the way and that everything may not go exactly back to the way it was before. The final draft bill regarding the matter will be completed by the interim education committee Dec. 1011, but the new education committee appointed in the 2015 session will vote on the bill. Patton is also looking forward to working on an educational accountability bill that will consider how to make all 48 school districts in the state accountable to testing standards. He said right now the tone of the bill is a topdown accountability approach but that he’d like to see it become a bottom-up approach that gives local school districts the primary say in accountability. “Our plates are going to be pretty large and pretty full,” Patton said.

Fungus affects New Fork brown trout PINEDALE (AP) — The Wyoming Game and Fish Department is investigating reports from anglers who say they found sick or dead brown trout in the New Fork River south of Pinedale. Pinedale fish managers believe it is due to a common fungal infection. Infected fish have patches of a cotton-like growth on their skin and often are lethargic. Wildlife officials say there is no way to treat fish populations in a stream or river. They say the New Fork River should still have a healthy brown trout population next spring. Holmes earns spot on Conservation District board BY KELLI HEITSTUMAN-TOMKO THE SHERIDAN PRESS SHERIDAN — Incumbent Susan Holmes has retained her at-large seat with the Sheridan County Conservation District. The SCCD oversees comprehensive natural resource conservation programs under the supervision of an elected board. It is the board’s duty to focus and coordinate available resources, whether technical, educational or financial, to meet the needs of local land users. As part of the educational component of the SCCD’s mission, the board provides outreach to the public to help keep them informed about what they can be doing to help with the conservation of land and water resources. Holmes sees no change to that plan in her next four years as a board member. “I plan to continue with project development and public outreach,” Holmes said. ©COPYRIGHT 2014 by SHERIDAN NEWSPAPERS, INC. 307-672-2431 144 Grinnell Ave. P.O.

He’s such an old wrestler, his archrival is stairs.” — Craig Ferguson, late night funnyguy THE SHERIDAN Press Stephen Woody Publisher Kristen Czaban Managing Editor Phillip Ashley Marketing Director Becky Martini Office Manager Mark Blumenshine Production Manager L Lena Dunham's bare, naked truth ena Dunham, creator of the sensational HBO series "Girls" — and now the object of overwrought child abuse accusations by boys on the right — seems the perfect antidote to election fatigue. Poor Dunham. Everything was rocking along just fine. At 28, she has her own television series, a new book released in September, money, fame and, as these things go, critics. Her book, "Not That Kind of Girl," has become an overnight cri de coeur for righteous types offended by what they read about what she wrote. It's a cinch that many of her harshest critics haven't read the book themselves, but a few principles have emerged that concern not the content but the treatment of the author. We're not KATHLEEN quite at the point of burning books, PARKER though there's a hint | of kerosene in the air. Basically, Dunham wrote about her 7-year-old self and her anatomical curiosities at the time, which included wondering whether all vaginas are the same. To answer this question, not satisfied with her mother's "I guess so," Dunham explored her 1-year-old sister Grace's private parts. Lo and behold, there she discovered pebbles, put "there" by little Grace for reasons that only 1year-olds know. Let me interrupt myself here to say that I would prefer a world in which uterus and vagina discussions took place primarily in homes and doctor's offices. It isn't prudery but decorum that compels me to say this. But then, DROP US A LINE | The Sheridan Press welcomes letters to the editor. The decision to print any submission is completely at the discretion of the managing editor and publisher. Letters must be signed and include an address and telephone number – which will not be published – for verification purposes. Unsigned letters will not be published, nor form letters, or letters that we deem libelous, obscene or in bad taste. Email delivery of letters into the Press works best and have the best chance of being published. I am sentimental about many things, such as the days when people married before having children. But back to Dunham. The pebble anecdote, combined with a couple of others, constituted child sexual abuse in the fevered minds of Dunham's critics. The other small tales, lest your imagination gallop off into de Sade territory, were: (1) bribing Grace with candy to let Dunham kiss her on the lips for five seconds; (2) exploring her own anatomy in bed at night after Grace fell asleep beside her. One might find this offensive but, contextually, Grace didn't stop sleeping with her older sister until she (Lena) was 17. Dunham's was apparently an affectionately demonstrative family that favored physical closeness, which is not the same as sexual. If we weren't talking about vaginas all the time, we might know this. Dunham's brand of blunt truth is, in fact, her brand and is the reason "Girls" has been such a hit. She shows girls (young women), or at least a subset of girls, as they really are -- imperfect and striving. In Dunham's case, they're also self-absorbed, hurting, seeking, wanting and painfully, humorously neurotic, as well as refreshingly lacking in vanity. These adjectives have led not surprisingly to comparisons to Woody Allen, who most closely resembles Winston Churchill next to Dunham. But the interior dialogue that tortures both Allen and Dunham links them to each other and to their respective audiences. They treat us to the contents of their unconscious minds, which entertain us precisely because we realize, oh dear, we're not the only ones. Don't all men wonder at some point what it's like to be a sperm, as Allen portrayed himself in his 1972 film "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex — But Were Afraid to Ask"? (You have to see the movie.) Likewise, Dunham might ask, don't all little girls wonder what other vaginas look like? But never mind. Nasty sees what nasty knows. Instead of critiquing Dunham's book as a work of art or literature — or even as a display of narcissistic self-parody — Kevin Williamson, writing in National Review, focused on the anecdotes that, one surmises, interested him most. They were repeated in an article by Bradford Thomas at TruthRevolt.org that prompted Dunham's attorneys to seek both a cease-and-desist and an apology. No go. Reasonable arguments accrue to both sides. Dunham sees her stories taken out of a context of humor and innocence, though she did write (tongue in cheek) that "anything a sexual predator might do to woo a small suburban girl I was trying." On the other side, lazy reviewing isn't illegal. To the larger point, artistic freedom, including offensive or "bad" art, has to be protected just as unpopular opinions must be. We don't need a First Amendment to protect Hallmark slogans but to protect us from forces that would silence certain thoughts, and, inevitably, certain people. For now, Lena Dunham is stuck with the story she wrote. And critics, as always, are stuck with themselves.

FROM STAFF REPORTS SHERIDAN — The next event in the Sheridan College Museum of Discovery’s science lecture series will focus on beekeeping. Tongue River Honey beekeeper Clifford Reed will present “Survival of Beekeeping in the 21st Century,” Nov. 12 at 7 p.m. Beekeepers today find themselves in a fight for survival, with both the use of chemical pesticides and the parasitic �Varroa’ mite having strong negative effects on honey bees. Reed will discuss these challenges while highlighting how the food supply depends on the success of beekeepers in a harsh environment. Tongue River Honey was established in 1918 in Ranchester by a railroad worker who turned to beekeeping, Earl C. Reed. It has since been passed down three generations. Clifford Reed, who grew up working honey bees with his family, and his wife took over operations in 1984 and are the current owner/operators. They are members of the Sioux Bee Honey Association, the world’s largest honey co-op, and Clifford has served as past president of the Wyoming Beekeepers Association.

The veteran NBC anchor hosts “Opening Day,” airing at 11 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Nov. 19, after a hockey game. The program examines traditions around the beginning of hunting season, which is a big business in South Dakota. Brokaw details how the state made itself a destination, visits the annual dinner of the hunters’ group Pheasants Forever and goes out with fellow hunters including Ted Turner. Brokaw got rid of his guns while living in Los Angeles during the tumultuous year of 1968. But he took up hunting again a couple of decades later, usually accompanied by his bird dog Sage. Brokaw, who splits his time between New York and Montana, looks forward to opening day as a way to connect each year with friends he grew up with. “I stay in the small towns, and it’s revisiting my youth,” he said. South Dakota has cultivated businesses surrounding the opening of pheasant hunting season, making it a destination for hunters around the country each year on the third Saturday of October. “The state just gets it,” he said. Turning his outings into TV isn’t new for Brokaw. For years, an annual fishing trip he conducts with pals like Michael Keaton has been chronicled on “Buccaneers & Bones,” a series on the Outdoor Channel. If the “Opening Day” special works well, the idea could spread to examine the culture around other sports and traditions, according to NBC Sports. Brokaw, 74, keeps busy while undergoing chemotherapy for multiple myeloma, a cancer affecting blood cells in the bone marrow. He worked on Election Night on Tuesday, where an alarm on his cell phone went off while he was on the air at MSNBC. He quickly made light of the gaffe by taking out the phone and pretending to take a grocery list. “I’m near the end of the treatment and I’m very encouraged by the process,” he said.

He was 77 years old. On “Car Talk,” Tom and his younger brother, Ray, dispensed sound advice about repairing cars mixed generously with sharp one-liners, self-deprecating humor and off-topic digressions on philosophy and other mysteries of life. “I like to drive with the windows open. I mean, before you know it, you’re going to spend plenty of time sealed up in a box anyway, right?” Tom once quipped on-air. “Car Talk” reached more than 4 million people a week on more than 600 radio stations across the country at its peak. It continued to be a top-rated show even after the brothers stopped taping live shows in 2012 and the network began airing reruns and archived materials. Tom Magliozzi died on Monday. “He and his brother changed public broadcasting forever,” Doug Berman, Car Talk’s executive producer said in a statement. “Before Car Talk, NPR was formal, polite, cautious ...even stiff.” The duo, which called themselves the “Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers,” always ended their shows with a catchphrase, “Don’t drive like my brother,” delivered in their signature Boston accents. “We can be happy he lived the life he wanted to live; goofing off a lot, talking to you guys every week, and primarily, laughing his ass off,” Ray Magliozzi wrote Monday on the “Car Talk” website. He also affectionately teased his late brother, who was 12 years his senior: “Turns out he wasn’t kidding. ...He really couldn’t remember last week’s puzzler.” Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 5, 1914, Britain and France declared war against the Ottoman Empire; Britain also annexed Cyprus. On this date: In 1605, the “Gunpowder Plot” failed as Guy Fawkes was seized before he could blow up the English Parliament. In 1781, the Continental Congress elected John Hanson of Maryland its chairman, giving him the title of “President of the United States in Congress Assembled.” In 1872, suffragist Susan B. Anthony defied the law by attempting to cast a vote for President Ulysses S. Grant. (Anthony was convicted by a judge and fined $100, but she never paid the fine.) In 1912, Democrat Woodrow Wilson was elected president, defeating Progressive Party candidate Theodore Roosevelt, incumbent Republican William Howard Taft and Socialist Eugene V. Debs. In 1938, Samuel Barber’s “Adagio for Strings” and “Essay for Orchestra” made their world debuts on the NBC Blue radio network as they were performed by the NBC Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Arturo Toscanini. In 1940, President Franklin D. Roosevelt won an unprecedented third term in office as he defeated Republican challenger Wendell L. Willkie. In 1964, NASA launched Mariner 3, which was supposed to fly by Mars, but the spacecraft failed to reach its destination. In 1968, Republican Richard M. Nixon won the presidency, defeating Democratic Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey and American Independent candidate George C. Wallace. In 1974, Democrat Ella T. Grasso was elected governor of Connecticut, becoming the first woman to win a gubernatorial office without succeeding her husband. In 1989, death claimed pianist Vladimir Horowitz in New York at age 86 and singer-songwriter Barry Sadler in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, at age 49. In 1990, Rabbi Meir Kahane, the Brooklyn-born Israeli extremist, was shot to death at a New York hotel. (Egyptian native El Sayyed Nosair was convicted of the slaying in federal court.) In 1994, former President Ronald Reagan disclosed he had Alzheimer’s disease. Ten years ago: The Kremlin announced that Russia had given final approval to the Kyoto Protocol on global warming. In a surprise reversal, the Chilean army for the first time assumed institutional responsibility for widespread human rights violations during the dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet. Five years ago: A shooting rampage at the Fort Hood Army post in Texas left 13 people dead; Maj. Nidal Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, was later convicted of murder and sentenced to death. One year ago: Republican Gov. Chris Christie won a resounding re-election victory in Democratic-leaning New Jersey, while Democrat Terry McAuliffe prevailed in Virginia’s gubernatorial contest. Toronto Mayor Rob Ford acknowledged for the first time that he had smoked crack “probably a year ago” when he was in a “drunken stupor,” but he refused to resign despite immense pressure to step aside as leader of Canada’s largest city. Thought for Today: “The line of least resistance was always the most difficult line in the long run.” — Peter Cheyney, English author (1896-1951). WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2014 SCSD2 board gets one new member BY ALISA BRANTZ THE SHERIDAN PRESS SHERIDAN — The Sheridan County School District 2 board of trustees will have one newcomer in January after Susan Wilson won the vacant seat left when trustee Scott Hininger decided not to run for another term. The remaining three trustees up for re-election retained their spots. After 12 years on the board, Hininger changed directions this year and challenged incumbent county Treasurer Peter Carroll, but was defeated in the primary election. Three challengers joined the race for SCSD2 school board — Wilson, Ami Erickson and Jeff Jones — hoping to fill the gap or oust an incumbent. Wilson clinched the spot after claiming the third most votes in the election (3,181) and spending the highest amount of campaign funds for this race. Trustee Marva Craft retained her seat, receiving the most votes in this race (3,889) and reporting no campaign finances spent. Craft said she knows Wilson through her former work as a teacher and times when she has served on committees at the district, and Craft believes she will be a great addition to the board. “She cares very deeply about the school district as a whole,” Craft said. “I feel like she is knowledgeable enough already about the workings of the administration that it’s going to be a good, smooth fit.” Craft is grateful for the number of votes she received and excited for another four years, saying that both she and the board are in good spots to progress. “We’ve come a long way, we work hard and we’re good as a team,” Craft said. “It has been a hard learning curve, and now that I know what I’m doing I’m looking forward to more work.” Craft said the hardest lesson she has learned in her years on the board is how to listen carefully to every side of every story and then apply her best judgment to the whole situation before her. “That’s a tough thing to do, to make sure you know overall where everyone is coming from, and that has helped me in my personal life as well,” she said. “You really have a responsibility to the public to do that.” Trustee Erica O’Dell agreed that post-learning production is in her future after re-election. “After four years I finally feel like I am getting on my feet and learning more about the district,” O’Dell said. “I hope to keep learning more and get better at what I’m doing.” Included in this endeavor, she hopes to attend more conferences and may join more ancillary boards such as the Sheridan Community Education Foundation, which is currently seeking another SCSD2 trustee to join. At one point O’Dell had considered not running in this election, and she discussed what made her change her mind. “I really enjoy it, I like learning about what’s happening in the state and it is important for me to be involved in the community,” she said. “Before, I had jobs in non-profits that I thought benefitted the community, and right now this is what I can do to be involved. I’m just really glad to have the chance to connect.” O’Dell came in fourth in vote totals, defeating challenger Jones 2,940-2,488. Trustee Ann Perkins was the third incumbent up for election and after winning her second election, she said it was a tougher race this time. “Due to the quality of candidates that were running I did more campaigning this time through social media outlets that I didn’t do last time, which was an interesting way to campaign but it proved effective,” she said. Perkins pulled in the second most votes with 3,468 and she attributed that to being very involved in the community including her work as a professor and connection with community organizations. Her plans and goals for her next term include continuing the work the district has started on improving graduation rates, making sure the board receives parent involvement and continuing to strive for the goal of overall excellence. These winning women will join trustees Richard Bridger, Hollis Hackman, Jim Perkins, Wayne Schatz and Molly Steel. www.thesheridanpress.com THE SHERIDAN PRESS A7 SCSD1 gets new board member Dayton resident Mary Schilling ousts incumbent Penny Mentock-Barkan BY ALISA BRANTZ THE SHERIDAN PRESS SHERIDAN — One of only two incumbents in Sheridan County elections who were ousted from positions by challengers in Tuesday night’s general election came from the Sheridan County School District 1 board of trustees. Challenger Mary Schilling claimed a spot on the five-person team after edging out trustee Penny Mentock-Barkan, 865731. Trustee Carol Garber was also up for reelection, and retained her seat by a large margin, claiming 1,124 votes. The race for SCSD1 school board was the one with the greatest amount of collective campaign funds raised in the county, with Garber topping the list. Approximately $1,335 was spent by the three candidates, nearly half of that coming from Garber’s personal funds. Unlike Mentock-Barkan, a former SCSD1 educator, Schilling comes from a diverse but non-education related background that includes experience in accounting, management and engineering. Schilling’s connection to the district is personal, being a mother, volunteer and actively concerned citizen, and she thinks that is what set her apart in this election. “I had a strong local support base from the Dayton/Ranchester area,” she said. “I live in this area and my kids are in these schools. I’m at the school all the time and at functions, I believe I’m pretty approachable and I believe that’s why I had such strong support.” Schilling said that though the size and separation of the large school district has kept her from learning much about the Big Horn half, she looks forward to getting to know them and their concerns. “Obviously as a school board member you serve both sides, so it’s not like I am only concerned with the Ranchester/Dayton community, and I know as the process goes along I will become more apprised of the concerns over there as well,” she said. “I look forward to getting over to Big Horn, and hopefully the people in Big Horn will get to know me and have confidence in me during my time of serving.” A self-described extrovert, Schilling said she wanted to run because she likes to “get out there, visit with people, collaborate, listen to suggestions and give suggestions.” Schilling has been in the Sheridan County area since 1998 and in the Ranchester community for nine years, but she said she is not very well known yet. She spent just $381 in yard signs and brochures to get her name out there, but made most of her connections by being at the schools. “I ran with a platform that I needed to be approachable, accessible, and I’ll do that by being out in the community because I have kids in the community,” she said. “I’ll be at the games because my kids are at the games. I’ll be at the schools because I volunteer at the schools. And I’ll encourage open communication.” Among other causes she cares about, Schilling said she takes it personally when parents in the area send their kids to Sheridan schools, saying that she wants to use her position to see what she can do to make sure everyone knows how great the district is. “What prompted me to run is I feel very fortunate my kids are in this district and I think they do an outstanding job,” she said. “I think people were wondering about certain things that were going on and there wasn’t a voice out there that they can walk up to and say, �I heard that…’ or �Is this true?’ We all can make calls but with our busy lives we often don’t. And rumors get started when you don’t have a point to go to and get clarification or vent concerns.” Schilling hopes to be that point by remaining a consistent presence in the community. “This is our community, this is where we live,” she said. “This is where we need to invest our resources.” She acknowledges, though, that she has a lot to learn. “I’m definitely going to be on a learning curve for sure, but I’m ready for that,” she said. “I’m ready to throw myself into that and I’m equipped to learn and of course grateful to serve the community.” Schilling was also grateful to MentockBarkan for not only her service on the board but also her personal support. “Penny was very gracious to me,” she said. “She was very encouraging every time I ran across her during this election time.” Shafer ousts longtime incumbent for Sheridan City Council FILE PHOTO | THE SHERIDAN PRESS Thayer Shafer, then candidate for the at-large council seat of the city of Sheridan, left, and Barbara Hill look over items at the silent auction table during the 2014 Reagan Day Dinner earlier this year at the Sheridan College Thorne-Rider Campus Center. Gooch, an 11-year resident, will also join ranks FROM STAFF REPORTS SHERIDAN — Kelly Gooch will join the ranks of Sheridan City Council members this January after receiving enough votes Tuesday to earn one of the three four-year seats on the ballot. Gooch moved to Sheridan 11 years ago with his wife and two daughters. He works at Rehabilitation Enterprises of North Eastern Wyoming as an IT director and started Go-Tec, LLC, an IT consulting business. Gooch also serves as an associate pastor at Bethesda Worship Center. Throughout the campaign for Council, Gooch voiced his opposition to the city’s decision to fluoridate the water. He earned more votes than the two incumbents, Alex Lee and Jesus Rios. Gooch tallied 3,108 votes compared to Lee’s 2,841 and Rios’ 2,709. The trio edged out Darryl Szymanski, who earned a seat on the ticket after waging a successful write-in campaign in the August primary. Rios said he is excited to be elected by the community he has served since being appointed in April. “Being appointed is one thing,” Rios said, “but being elected by members of the community is exciting.” Rios added that one of the things he’d like to tackle right away is the implementation of curbside recycling in Sheridan. He said it will help reduce the demand on the city’s landfill and would be beneficial to the community as a whole. He also noted the importance of getting the business incubator that is currently in the works up and running. That project will likely be in conjuction with the University of Wyoming, Sheridan College and the county. In the two-year race, Thayer Shafer topped longtime incumbent Robert Webster by 766 votes. Webster has served on the Council for nearly two decades. “Now the work begins,” Shafer said this morning. He added that he feels he has a lot to learn and will take things as they come along. “I have no agenda to go in and turn the tables on things,” he said. When asked if he thought his win over a longtime incumbent signified that voters are unhappy with the current administration, Shafer said, “It’s time for change.” Webster noted that he will remain on the Council until January, then plans to stay involved with city happenings and projects. Looking back over his 20 years of service, Webster said he feels pretty good about what he’s been able to accomplish. “I was lucky enough to accomplish everything that I had originally set out to do,” Webster said, adding that his goals were to pave the streets and update infrastructure in Ward 3. He congratulated Shafer and said he thought the new councilor would “do a good job.” A8 THE SHERIDAN PRESS www.thesheridanpress.com WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2014 Ranchester Town Council to add young blood in January BY HANNAH SHEELY THE SHERIDAN PRESS RANCHESTER — Two candidates who accepted write-in nominations during the primary election ran against each other in the general election to fill one unexpired two-year term on Ranchester Town Council. Jesse Hinkhouse won the election with 122 votes. Candidate Gayle Ogle received 94 votes. There were three write-in votes, but names of write-ins had not been released as of press time. Jesse Hinkhouse was born and raised in a small town in South Dakota but attended Sheridan College and has worked for Sheridan County School District 1 for five years, mostly as a teacher at Tongue River Elementary. Hinkhouse has said he is eager to help Ranchester grow and move forward, with a particular focus on improving the town’s visual presence and making it a place where families want to put down roots and raise their children. He said the town has a great foundation of businesses but could be improved with opportunities such as a car wash, Laundromat and grocery store. “I’m ecstatic,” Hinkhouse said Wednesday morning. Hinkhouse said he plans to continue attending Council meetings to gather information on current issues and get up to speed. One thing he has spoken with several resi- dents about is the coming expansion of Ranchester with the development of a new elementary school and new subdivision with upwards of 120 houses. “We need to start planning for the future now rather than just handle it when it comes,” Hinkhouse said. He’d like to start working with the town engineer to plan out needed utility expansion. He has also suggested that the town hire a town planner to help guide the process of infrastructure expansion. Hinkhouse also said he will focus on one concern he heard from often residents: the lack of family friendly community areas. He’d also like to see a pathway system be developed to provide greater safety.

Voters opt to maintain status quo on college district board; three incumbents re-elected BY KELLI HEITSTUMAN-TOMKO THE SHERIDAN PRESS SHERIDAN — The Northern Wyoming Community College District retained three incumbent board members after Tuesday’s election. The district services Gillette College and Sheridan College in both Sheridan and Johnson counties. Five candidates ran for seats on the board. Robert Leibrich, Norleen Healy and Jerry Iekel, all of whom were already serving, kept their seats. Mike Watkins and Rolf Thor Distad also sought seats on the college district’s board of trustees. Healy said she is looking forward to continuing her work on projects that have been started over her last term. “The reason I ran again was because we started so many things and a lot of initiatives, and I would like to see them through,” Healy said. “We’re working to improve our rate of graduation and see that each student leaves with a certificate or a diploma. We also have a lot of build- ing projects going on right now that I’d like to see through.” Jerry Iekel indicated that he was equally eager to return to projects that have been started. “It’s such an exciting college and job, and I want to continue to have a part in expanding the changes that are happening on the campus and building on the successes of our Master Plan,” Iekel said. “I also want to keep working in favor of the students because it’s all about them. I’m looking forward to seeing the development of the Mars Agriculture and Science Building. I also enjoy having some play in regard to the Legislature concerning college funding.” Iekel was a state representative for House District 29 from 2001-2008. “I still know people in the Legislature,” he said. “I feel like I can get things done.” Leibrich could not be reached by press time. Before the election, he indicated to the Press that he worked to address the concerns of local citizens concerning the college, discussing those concerns with the district leadership so he and the board could present concerned citizens with answers and solutions. HD30: Jennings aims to stop tax increases FROM 1 Jennings said he stepped into the race to represent House District 30 because he felt like Coleman’s votes in the Legislature were not representative of his own family values or the values of other constituents he knows. Jennings said he has been involved in church leadership and has always voted and spoken with his legislators but that he has little political experience. He said he felt it was a positive aspect of his resume to be an average citizen and not a politician. Key issues he wanted to address were to stop tax increases, to stop government overreach and to uphold Second Amendment gun rights. During his campaign, Jennings spoke against the passage of Senate File 104, which stripped Superintendent of Public Instruction Cindy Hill of most of her powers, and said that should have been decided by voters. He also spoke against the increased gas tax, Common Core and the Affordable Care Act, and called on legislators to tighten state spending and promote economic development by promoting the private sector. Wednesday morning, Jennings expressed thanks to God for giving him the strength to run his campaign, to his family and campaign managers and mostly to his constituents who voted “constitutional” and “conservative,” the bedrocks of his campaign. As Jennings prepares for this new endeavor, he said he will strive to have “two ears and one mouth” in order to learn as much as he can from the Sheridan County delegation, his constituents and other training opportunities. On a personal level, Jennings said he will focus on and potentially sponsor bills that strengthen parental rights. “Families are the bedrock of society, and that’s one of the things I want to focus on,” Jennings said. Jennings also believes that the Affordable Care Act will become a primary issue in the coming session with the switch to a majority Republican U.S. House and Senate. He wants to look at how to turn health insurance back to the private sector or other policies Wyoming could put in place to monitor the issue. Jennings would also like to focus on limiting federal government overreach, especially in the energy and agriculture sectors. “We need to let the energy sector move forward and create jobs and do what they do best,” Jennings said.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2014 www.thesheridanpress.com THE SHERIDAN PRESS A9 A10 THE SHERIDAN PRESS www.thesheridanpress.com 3 charged with feeding homeless in Fort Lauderdale FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — A 90year-old man and two South Florida ministers have been accused of breaking a new ordinance that severely restricts public feeding of the homeless in Fort Lauderdale. Police arrested homeless advocate Arnold Abbot and ministers Dwayne Black and Mark Sims on Sunday as they handed out food to homeless people in a Fort Lauderdale park. The city ordinance took effect Friday. “One of the police officers said, �Drop that plate right now,’ as if I were carrying a weapon,” Abbott told South Florida television station WPLG. “It’s man’s inhumanity to man is all it is.” All three face up to 60 days in jail and a $500 fine. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2014 Abbott runs a nonprofit group called Love Thy Neighbor, Inc. He said he sued the city in 1999 after they tried to stop him from feeding the homeless on Fort Lauderdale Beach. He won that case and now says he’ll fight the new ordinance. “I’m going to have to go back to court again and sue the city of Fort Lauderdale — a beautiful city,” Abbott said. Women providing LA adventure club a new challenge JUSTIN SHEELY | THE SHERIDAN PRESS Rehearsing for �Prisoner’ Amber Hanson clings to a book after discovering her city apartment had been robbed during a rehearsal for the play “The Prisoner of Second Avenue” Tuesday night at the Carriage House Theater. The production is a presentation of the Sheridan Civic Theatre Guild and directed by Dimitra Dugal. Show times are November 7-9. 14-16 and 21-23, Fridays and Saturdays, 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. at the Carriage House Theater. LOS ANGELES (AP) — Some of them have hiked across a hundred or more countries. Others have dived deep into the oceans off every continent. One member of the Adventurers Club of Los Angeles has walked on the moon, while another rode a crashed airplane to the ground and walked away from the wreckage. Still, for some members of this venerable institution that has been meeting once a week since 1921, their biggest challenge may lie ahead: Deciding whether to admit women to what has always been a “gentleman-only” club. One member angrily resigned after past president Marc Weitz suggested the idea. Initially the club’s board of directors unanimously supported him, Weitz says, but as things grew more acrimonious three board members had second thoughts. The controversy has brought a rare moment of discord to a group of ah-shucks kind of guys who quietly go out and do amazing things, then meet just as quietly on Thursday nights to shoot the breeze over a meat-and-potatoes dinner in a clubhouse hidden above a drugstore in a modest LA neighborhood. “It’s been quite divisive,” acknowledges board member Kevin Lee, choosing his words carefully. “Some of the folks opposed think it would hurt the club’s camaraderie. Others say if we let women in they should be as qualified as men.” Not that most members don’t think women are as qualified. They sometimes attend as guests and discuss their own adventures. One who did so recently was Nancy Miller, a registered nurse who has walked on all seven continents, climbed Africa’s highest peak and stood on both the North and South Poles. “Some of our women guests have come in with credentials so good that they’ve made our members cringe,” past president Bob Silver says with a smile. Still, this 50-year member is leaning toward voting no. The group’s full voting membership, 113 men, will have the final say when ballots are counted Thursday night. For one thing, Silver and other members say, women already can join the Explorers Club, an international group. The Adventurers Club of LA has always been just for men, ever since its founder, Capt. Jack Roulac, took seriously a toast to “gentlemen adventurers” that was raised at a 1912 gathering in New York hosted by President Theodore Roosevelt. Only men who can prove their adventures have “taken them off the beaten path” are considered by the club, whose members vote on who gets in. Members past and present have climbed the world’s tallest mountains, walked across entire countries, circumnavigated the globe, even won a Medal of Honor for bravery in combat. “Everybody in this room has done something fantastic,” says member Jay Foonberg. “They just don’t think it’s fantastic. They just think it’s fun.” Wyoming GOP maintains dominance in state Legislature CHEYENNE (AP) — The fact that Republicans would maintain an overwhelming advantage in the Wyoming Legislature was never in doubt. The question entering Tuesday's election was would they grow that advantage or lose a seat or two. According to early election results, Democrats would gain one seat in the state House while there would be no change in the state Senate. Before the election, Republicans held a 26-4 advantage in the Senate and a 52-8 majority in the House. In Tuesday's election, with 15 of the 30 Senate seats on the ballot, Republicans won all four Senate races that had a Democrat opponent. The 11 other seats up for election had nine Republicans and two Democrats running uncontested. In the House, all 60 seats were up for election with 34 Republican and three Democratic incumbents running unopposed. In 23 contested races, Republicans won or were leading in 17 while Democrats won or MEAD: Beat out Democrat Pete Gosar FROM 1 Mead, a Republican and former U.S. attorney for Wyoming, won a second term Tuesday, beating Democrat Pete Gosar and two other challengers. Looking ahead to his second term, Mead said, "We think it provides an opportunity for me and the office to continue our work on the energy strategy, the water strategy, expanding technology and broadband in the state, continuing to strengthen our local governments and our infrastructure." Mead also said he looks forward to beginning a discussion on how Wyoming should handle its rainy day fund — a $2 billion fund that unlike state permanent savings could be spent on projects or government operations. Some state lawmakers have been increasingly calling for an open policy discussion on how the state should handle the funds and how much money ultimately should be in savings. Mead said he wants to address where the fund should be, what it should be used for, "and how we can make sure we're investing not only in our markets, but investing in that which has made us so strong in our own state." Mead's second term also will likely find him continuing to serve as a salesman with efforts to try to lobby for markets for coal. Wyoming is the country's leading coal-producing state, although recent revenue forecasts say the industry's future is clouded by uncertainty. Mead has traveled to Asia during his first term and says nations there are hungry for Wyoming coal. Meanwhile, domestic demand is slipping due to a combination of cheaper natural gas and increasingly strict federal emissions standards that industry officials say makes construction of new coal-fired power plants infeasible in this country. Mead's administration has filed dozens of legal challenges to EPA air quality regulations it says would hurt coal production. So far, the state has been stymied in its efforts to secure deep-water port access in the Northwest for coal exports. "While coal, no question, has a target on its back, I remain optimistic," Mead said in a recent interview. He said the U.S. gets 40 percent of its electricity from coal, and he can't see the nation making the decision to lose the competitive advantage of affordable energy by taking that off the table. Another challenge facing Mead in his second term will likely continue to be how to handle contentious decisions about the federal Endangered Species Act. Acting in response to a lawsuit filed by conservation groups, a federal judge in Washington, D.C., recently rejected Wyoming's wolf-management plan and returned the animals to federal protections. Mead has said he believes the state's best path forward lies in calling on its congressional delegation to sponsor legislation, similar to an existing law that already covers Idaho and Montana, specifying that there can be no legal challenges to the state's management plan. In addition, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is set to make a decision next year whether to grant the sage grouse protections under the Endangered Species Act. Although the sage grouse population has dropped all over the West, its greatest numbers are still found in Wyoming. Officials say a decision to grant federal protections for the bird could threaten energy development across the state. "I am so frustrated about wolves, and my frustration is now not limited to wolves, it's the Endangered Species Act," Mead said recently. Once a species is listed, Mead said states have no way of knowing what they have to do to end federal protections and regain state management. were leading in six. In District 17, incumbent Republican Stephen Watt, of Rock Springs, lost to Democrat JoAnn Dayton, of Rock Springs. In District 12, Republican challenger Harlan Edmonds, of Cheyenne, unseated Democratic incumbent Lee Filer, of Cheyenne. An open seat in District 23 in Teton County went to Democrat Andy Schwartz. The seat had been held by Republican Keith Gingery, who did not run for re-election. In a rematch of the 2012 race in District 48 in Rock Springs, incumbent Republican Mike Baker beat Democrat Joe Barbuto for a second time although by a very slim margin, according to unofficial results. No third-party candidates succeeded in any of the three races they fielded candidates. However, Clarence Vranish, an independent, beat Democrat Larissa Sneider for second place behind incumbent Republican Garry Piiparinen in Evanston's District 49 race.

Most people do it anyway. In a new survey, 98 percent of motorists who own cellphones and text regularly said they were aware of the dangers, yet three-quarters of them admitted to texting while driving, despite laws against it in some states. Two-thirds said they have read text messages while stopped at a red light or stop sign, while more than a quarter said they have sent texts while driving. More than a quarter of the texting drivers believed they “can easily do several things at once, even while driving.” The telephone survey of 1,004 U.S. adults was released Wednesday by AT&T Inc. as part of an anti-texting-and-driving campaign. AT&T designed the survey with David Greenfield, founder of The Center for Internet and Technology Addiction and a professor at the University of Connecticut’s School of Medicine. The survey came as AT&T expanded availability of a free app that silences text message alerts and acti- to s r e ett tbe l l l A s u y, m a a d t s S a n by Tu e th ed 16 v i r e e c b re m D ece vates automatically when a person is moving 15 miles per hour or faster. (Passengers can turn it off.) The DriveMode app is coming to iPhones after being previously available on Android and BlackBerry phones for AT&T users only. The iPhone version will be available to customers of competing carriers as well, but some functions will work only on AT&T devices. The study in May was of cellphone owners ages 16 to 65 who drive almost every day and text at least once a day. It has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points. Researchers conducted surveys with people on their cellphones, and it’s possible those who would have picked up on a landline might have different attitudes. Greenfield said the survey is the latest to show a discrepancy between people’s attitudes and behaviors. It found a broad range of reasons why drivers text. Forty-three percent of the texting drivers said they want to “stay connected” to friends, family and work. Nearly a third did it out of habit. Among other reasons for texting and driving: • Twenty-eight percent said they are worried about missing out of something important if they don’t check their phones right away. • More than a quarter believes that their driving performance is not affected by texting, and just as many people said they believe that others expect them to respond to texts “right away.” • Just 6 percent answered that they are “addicted to texting,” although 14 percent admitted that they are “anxious” if they don’t respond to a text right away, and 17 percent feel “a sense of satisfaction” when they can read or respond to a text message. Reggie Shaw was 19 in 2006 when he caused a car accident while texting, killing two people. Today, he speaks out against texting and driving. “It’s something I struggle with every day,” he said. “I know that I need to go out and talk to others about it. I don’t want others to make the same mistake I did.” Shaw does not remember what he was texting about right before the accident. Back then, he said, “being on my phone when I drove was something I did all the time. It was just driving to me. I guess you’d call it ignorance but I never understood that it was dangerous. How could me being on the phone cause a car accident?” Today, his phone is off when he’s driving. Never in the past eight years since the accident, he says, has he gotten a phone call or text message that was so important that it couldn’t wait until he stopped the car. Greenfield, who studies WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2014 Mom posts sunny video before son tossed off bridge GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) — A mother accused of throwing her son to his death from an Oregon bridge posted cheery videos on YouTube nearly a year ago of her 6-year-old boy holding a stuffed toy lion while tossing coins in a fountain to make a wish. As darkness fell Monday, Jillian McCabe parked her car at the north end of the picturesque Yaquina Bay Bridge in the coastal Oregon town of Newport, took her son in her arms, carried him to the middle of the span and threw him to his death in the water below, a police affidavit said. Then she dialed 911 on her cellphone. “I just threw my son over the Yaquina Bay Bridge,” McCabe told the dispatcher, according to a probable cause affidavit filed by police Tuesday. She described her son, London Grey McCabe, and the clothes he was wearing, saying he was in the water and gone. Later that night, a body was reported in the water at a bayside resort about a mile from the bridge, and police said it was that of the kindergartner. “It’s a great tragedy,” said the boy’s great aunt, Tanya McCabe. Attorneys appointed to represent Jillian McCabe did not return calls seeking comment. Her brother-in-law, Andrew McCabe, confirmed that she had written an appeal on YouCaring.com, a crowdfunding website. In it she described caring for her autistic son and her husband, Matt, who has been unable to work at his business doing email campaigns since developing multiple sclerosis and a mass on his brain stem. The appeal ended eight months ago after raising $6,831 toward a goal of $50,000. “If you are a praying person, pray for us,” Jillian McCabe wrote. “I love my husband and he has taken care of myself and my son for years and years and now it’s time for me to take the helm. I am scared and I am reaching out.” Andrew McCabe also confirmed that his sister-inlaw had posted the YouTube videos. One shows her son sitting in a hammock, smiling with a cup of juice and engrossed in an iPad. When she asks if he is happy, he says nothing. When she tells him to say “help” if he wants a push in the hammock, he says, “help.” Another shows her husband lying in a hospital bed, talking about his sudden struggle to walk and even talk. Jillian McCabe, 34, appeared by video Tuesday in Lincoln County Circuit Court, but she did not enter pleas on charges of murder, aggravated murder and manslaughter. The aggravated murder charge, which carries the possibility of the death penalty, was filed because the boy was younger than 14. Police said McCabe was from Seal Rock, south of Newport, but Andrew McCabe said the family had lived in Hood River.

Ten of us brought different soups that we made. A committee of three judged the best tasting and then we all tore through 10 crockpots of various and delicious soups. And, even though the Press’ employees are always �up’ for a party, I can’t remember a more satisfying potluck. I, of course, asked for recipes. First prize went to Sheree Cossel. CHEESEBURGER SOUP 1/2 lb hamburger 1/2 cup chopped onion 3/4 cup shredded carrots 3/4 cup diced celery 1 teaspoon dried basil 1 teaspoon dried parsley 2 tablespoon butter, divided 3 cups chicken broth 4 cups peeled and diced potatoes 2 1/2 cups cubed Velveeta 3/4 cup half and half 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1 teaspoon olive oil 1.

Optional: Serve with beer boiled brats and a side of spicy brown mustard for a complete Wisconsin style meal. Marketing Manager Phil Ashley ELK AND ANTELOPE STEW Ingredients: 2 lbs elk meat 2 lbs antelope meat 1 qt. beef broth 4 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons Worchestershire sauce 1 bag pearl onions 6 medium sized carrots 1 large turnip 1 large potato 2 cups flour 2 tablespoons Wondra (or as much needed to thicken stew) 1 tablespoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon garlic salt 1 tablespoon sea salt 1 tablespoon six pepper blend Directions: 1. Cut the elk and antelope into 1/2 to 2-inch thick cubes. 2. Dice potato and turnip into 1-inch pieces. 3. Peel the pearl onions and cut the larger ones in half. 4. Peel and slice the carrots into 1/8inch pieces. 5. Put the flour, garlic salt and pepper in a plastic bag that is big enough to hold the cubed meat. Shake bag to coat meat with flour mixture. 6. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. 7. Cook elk and antelope cubes in the skillet until they are brown in color. 8. When the meat has turned brown, reduce the heat to medium and add onions. 9. When the onions are browned, remove the skillet from heat. 10. Pour the contents of the skillet into a slow cooker. 11. Add beef broth and Worchestershire sauce. 12. Add the olive oil, carrots, potatoes, turnip, garlic powder, and salt. 13. Let stew cook on low heat for 4 hours. 14. After 1 hour mix the Wondra with water to make a paste and stir into the stew. 15. Let the stew cook for 3 more hours, seasoning to taste along the way. 16. Feed the stew to people who say they hate elk or antelope. 17. Tell anyone who eats the stew the names of the elk and antelope you killed. They like that. Soup Storage Many meat and vegetable soups (but not cream soups) take on a richer taste if refrigerated for a day to give the flavors time to blend and develop; this makes them ideal for make-ahead. To freeze, package soups in pint or quart plastic freezer containers or heavy-duty zip-top freezer bags; label with recipe name, date, amount, and freeze up to 3 months. Frozen soups can be thawed in the refrigerator and slowly reheated in a saucepan over low heat. • Kitchen Soup Tip If you have added too much salt to a soup, simply drop in a peeled, raw potato and cook a few minutes. Then remove the potato before serving. (Source:Secrets from Southern Living) B2 THE SHERIDAN PRESS Basketball talk E very so often I find myself strolling over to the Bruce Hoffman Golden Dome and taking a seat in women’s basketball coach Frank McCarthy’s office. The conversation usually opens with McCarthy asking me what time the Broncs play Friday or any other happenings in the busy world of Sheridan sports. I’ll chat with assistant coach and Kansas native Ryan Davis about how much of a bummer it was that the Royals didn’t win the World Series. But mostly, I go there to talk basketball. The two coaches update me on practices, filling me in on what to expect come game time. After watching one practice, some scrimmages and finally regMIKE ular season PRUDEN basketball, I | knew immediately what to expect from the Lady Generals. The Sheridan women’s hoops team has size and depth. But their size isn’t just stick-a-girl-on-theblock size. Their size is athletic size. They’re the LA Clippers of JuCo basketball. Sierra Toms returned as last season’s leading scorer, and she hasn’t skipped a beat heading into her sophomore season. The 6-foot1 Toms won’t throw down any Blake Griffin dunks, but she averages 21 points and 8.5 rebounds through the first two games of the season. She is strong running the floor, strong from outside and strong in the post. Tiana Hanson, another 6-foot-1 forward, has shown her versatility by bringing the ball up the floor while at the same time dominating the glass on her way to 12 rebounds a game. I wouldn’t hold out for McCarthy drawing up lobs for Hanson, but she will be a nightmare to the other 6-footers that have to guard her the entire length of the floor all season. Tamara Brine, another versatile forward, is the top of the Sheridan freshman class. At 5foot-10, Brine averaged 18.3 points a game in Australia last season and has adjusted to the Americancollege game quicker than expected. Through two games, she averages 18.5 a game, including 22 in the season opener against Great Falls. She uses her size and ballhandling skills to attack the basket but can stretch the defense with her outside game. She’s a young Hedo Turkoglu in his prime. That means that the Lady Generals three leading scorers are 5-foot-10 or taller. Katie Kuhn, the team’s starting point guard, doesn’t have the Chris Paul deadly crossover, but she’s a team captain that has to translate Doc McCarthy’s game plan to the floor and has to be a facilitator to get their three leading scorers good shots. Shae Bruursma is J.J. Redick. She’s one of Sheridan’s taller guards, allowing her to shoot, and stroke, 3s over her defenders. I just hope she starts throwing up three goggles after she hits a 3pointer. If the Lady Generals can find a Jamal Crawford to do a little bit of everything — maybe Peyton Hinn — they will be a complete package. If not, they’ve got the Glen Davis’s and Matt Barnes’s to pick up the slack. They run the floor, they score boat loads of points and they play at the Staple’s Center of JuCo arenas. Expect the Lady Generals to be at the top of Region IX. Now, if someone could teach these girls how to throw down windmill dunks. MIKE PRUDEN is The Sheridan Press sports editor. EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the second half of a two-part series previewing the Sheridan College basketball teams. Part one can be found in the Oct. 29 issue of The Press. SPORTS www.thesheridanpress.com WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2014 Generals defeat Laramie under Golden Dome BY MIKE PRUDEN THE SHERIDAN PRESS SHERIDAN — Things got off to a slow start for the Sheridan College Generals last night, but a second-half dunk fest opened things up on their way to a 91-73 victory. Laramie County Community College came into the Golden Dome last night with a unique defense that took some adjusting by the Generals early on. The Golden Eagles ran a full-court 1-3-1-trap defense, something that Sheridan coach Matt Hammer says isn’t typically seen and took some time getting used to. The press forced the Generals to play sloppy offensively, resulting in 10 turnovers in the first half. Defensively, Sheridan struggled adjusting to the Golden Eagles’ quick ball movement and closing out on shooters. Eight different LCCC players scored in the first half on 55-percent shooting from the field. “We’re pretty good when we’re solid on defense,” Hammer said. “We keep the ball in front of us, we pressure shots and we block out and get rebounds, we’re pretty good because then we can push the ball.” The Generals took a one-point lead into halftime, where Hammer and his coaching staff made adjustments that helped his team beat the zone press in the second half. “We told our guys, if you make enough passes, you’re going to find a guy for a wide open layup,” Hammer said. “We found quite a few.” Hammer was almost right. The Generals came out in the second half breaking down the LCCC zone like oversized 6-year-olds smashing Lego towers at day care. They passed the ball like Peyton Manning in a two-minute drill, leading to, not layups, but dunks. A bunch of dunks. The crowd roared at the Golden Dome as Benny Lufile stuffed a two-handed slam, as Pablo Rivas soared through the air like a hang glider bounding off of the Bighorns, and as Tre McCallum threw one down with the same hand that he smashed in the weight room not four weeks ago. The easy baskets not only upped the energy in the stands, but it also upped the energy at the other end of the floor for the Generals. Sheridan forced the LCCC field-goal percentage to drop to 31 percent in the second half, and, after the Golden Eagles went 8-17 from behind the arc in the first half, the Golden Eagles went 0-8 in the second half. Jamir Andrews led all scorers with 21 JUSTIN SHEELY | THE SHERIDAN PRESS Generals forward Tredarius McCallum pounds a slam dunk against the Golden Eagles Tuesday night in the Sheridan College Golden Dome. Sheridan won over Laramie County Community College 91-73. points, including five 3-pointers. Kyi Thomas added 19 and Rivas scored 15 off the bench. Lufile led all rebounders with 15 to go along with 16 points. The Generals have opened the season Flagg wins long drive title with three straight wins and will travel to Utah this weekend to compete in the Snow Tourney. Sheridan will return to the Golden Dome for the Best Western Tournament the weekend of Nov. 14. Serving up a win LAS VEGAS (AP) — Jeff Flagg edged Jeff Crittenden to win the World Long Drive Championship on Tuesday night at the Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort. Both golfers hit their second ball of the final round 365 yards off the platform, but Flagg’s shot measured 20 inches past the hash mark, while Crittenden’s was seven inches from the 365-yard mark. The 29-year-old Flagg earned $250,000 for the win. Anya Fritz preps for a serve during the opening round of high school volleyball regionals Friday at Sheridan High School. MIKE PRUDEN | THE SHERIDAN PRESS Romo skips practice in London with injured back LONDON (AP) — Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo sat out the team’s first practice in London on Wednesday because of his injured back. Romo, who missed last Sunday’s 28-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals with his third back injury in the last 18 months, made the trip to England but stayed at the hotel while the rest of his teammates practiced at Allianz Park. “It’s just based on the feedback, and what he’s told us how he feels,” Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said. “Is it more worthwhile to stay there and get treatment, or come over here and watch practice and stand up for a couple of hours? It makes sense to stay there and get some treatment.” The Cowboys (6-3) face the Jacksonville Jaguars (1-8) on Sunday at Wembley Stadium, the last of three regular-season NFL games in London this year. Instead of Romo, backup Brandon Weeden took the snaps during practice on Wednesday. Weeden, who was dumped by Cleveland two seasons after getting drafted in the first round in 2012, threw two interceptions against Arizona and couldn’t get the Dallas offense into the end zone until the game was out of reach. He now has 25 touchdowns and 27 interceptions in his career. Garrett, however, remained optimistic that Romo would be ready for Sunday. “Obviously, all these things are medical decisions. Really important for our medical team to weigh in on what our players have,” Garrett said. “Getting feedback from the player, as to how they feel, how they handle the workload, is really, really important. And then you come up with what you need to do during the week to get them prepared to play their best on Sunday.” Cowboys tight end Jason Witten said Romo seemed to be on the mend after the long trip to London. “I know he felt good from the plane,” Witten said. “He’s tough, he really is, so I know he’s going to do everything he can (to play Sunday).” Romo has fractures in two small bones in his back. The injury is unrelated to a herniated disk sustained last year and to offseason surgery to remove a cyst earlier in 2013. Despite the focus on Romo and how he’s feeling, Garrett said the attention was a not a distraction for Weeden, who was 18 of 33 for 183 yards with one touchdown as the Cowboys dropped their second straight game last weekend following a six-game winning streak. “There’s a lot of media attention on the NFL, on the Cowboys, and certainly if you’re the quarterback of the Cowboys, there’s a lot of media attention that comes with that,” Garrett said. “If you’re that guy, or someone around that guy, it’s just part of the deal. It comes with the dinner, as they say, and you get yourself ready to go.” Even if Romo says he is ready to go and given clearance by the medical team, Garrett and his assistants will make the ultimate decision based on his performances in practice. “We as coaches, the football people, we’re most interested in function, how is the player functioning,” Garrett said. “He might say �this,’ the doctor may say �this,’ but what we see is �this.’ “We have to make the best decision during the week to get him ready to play on Sunday.” WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2014 www.thesheridanpress.com THE SHERIDAN PRESS B3 SCOREBOARD | AHL | American Hockey League The Associated Press All Times EST EASTERN CONFERENCE Atlantic Division GP W L OL SL 9 6 2 1 0 Providence 9 5 3 1 0 Worcester Manchester 8 5 3 0 0 10 5 5 0 0 Portland St. John’s 12 3 5 3 1 East Division GP W L OL SL Hershey 10 6 4 0 0 Wilkes-Barre/Sc11 5 5 1 0 Lehigh Valley 8 4 3 1 0 Norfolk 9 4 5 0 0 Binghamton 10 3 5 2 0 Northeast Division GP W L OL SL Albany 9 6 1 1 1 Hartford 9 6 2 1 0 Bridgeport 9 5 3 0 1 Syracuse 9 4 4 1 0 Springfield 10 4 5 1 0 WESTERN CONFERENCE Midwest Division GP W L OL SL Rockford 11 8 2 0 1 Milwaukee 9 7 2 0 0 Chicago 9 5 2 2 0 Lake Erie 10 4 4 1 1 Grand Rapids 7 3 3 1 0 North Division GP W L OL SL Utica 10 7 1 2 0 Rochester 10 6 4 0 0 Hamilton 10 4 4 2 0 Toronto 8 4 4 0 0 Adirondack 10 3 6 1 0 West Division GP W L OL SL Oklahoma City 8 4 2 2 0 Texas 8 4 2 2 0 San Antonio 10 5 5 0 0 Charlotte 9 3 6 0 0 Iowa 9 2 7 0 0 NOTE: Two points are awarded for a win, one point for an overtime or shootout loss.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, league security chief Jeffery Miller, Ravens President Dick Cass and Rice are among the key witnesses expected to testify in the two-day hearing. Rice’s wife, Janay, might testify. Rice was suspended indefinitely Sept. 8 for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy after a video of him hitting his then-fiancee was released publicly. Goodell originally had suspended the running back for two games. The incident occurred inside an elevator at an Atlantic City casino. The couple married a month later. The league considered the video to be new evidence, giving Goodell the authority to amend Rice’s suspension. But Rice’s attorneys will argue he should not be punished twice, citing Article 46 of the collective bargaining agreement. Former U.S. District Judge Barbara S. Jones is the neutral arbiter selected to hear the appeal. Jones was jointly picked by the commissioner and the players’ union to hear the appeal. It’s uncertain how long Jones will take to make a decision. Rice is seeking immediate reinstatement, though it’s unlikely a team would sign him this season. Rice has also filed a separate wrongful termination grievance against the Ravens. Goodell still could avoid testifying if the league and Rice reach a lastminute settlement.

B4 THE SHERIDAN PRESS BABY BLUES® by Jerry Scott and Rick Kirkman COMICS www.thesheridanpress.com WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2014 DRS. OZ & ROIZEN Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Michael Roizen MARY WORTH by Karen Moy and Joe Giella BORN LOSER® by Art and Chip Sansom Granny Clampett on "The Beverly Hillbillies" touted moonshine as "rheumatiz medicine." And your Granny may have given you tea with lemon and ginger for a sore throat. But these well-known folk medicines may have met their match in what another Granny, Granny Smith, deliv- ers. This tart and juicy Granny makes the microbes in your digestive tract happy, and that boosts your wellbeing, helping you maintain a healthy weight and much, much more! A recent study out of Washington state (where else?) compared the nutrients in seven varieties of apples. Granny Smith, it turned out, contains the most polyphenols and non-digestible compounds, such as insoluble fiber, that are known to help good gut bacteria thrive (a whole lot more than Cheetos). We also know that the more of those you consume, the more they help regulate glucose levels, body-wide inflammation and calorie use. No wonder researchers have also found that a healthy balance of gut bacteria helps prevent stroke and improves sexual satisfaction! But did you ever wonder how air travel affects bacteria in your intestines? The answer is, badly. Gut bacteria can get jet-lagged too, especially if you're eating a highfat, sugar-rich diet. Their circadian rhythm is thrown off so they can't do their healthprotecting job. (Grab a green apple from a food stand in the airport.) And there's "social jet lag" too -- from staying up late, not getting enough sleep and eating fatty, sweet foods. So, at home or on the road, don't forget, a Granny Smith a day really may keep the doctor away! Mehmet Oz, M.D. is host of "The Dr. Oz Show," and Mike Roizen, M.D. is Chief Wellness Officer and Chair of Wellness Institute at Cleveland Clinic.

DEAR ABBY Pauline Phillips and Jeanne Phillips GARFIELD by Jim Davis FRANK & ERNEST® by Bob Thaves REX MORGAN, M.D. by Woody Wilson and Tony DiPreta ZITS® by Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman DILBERT by S. Adams ALLEY OOP® by Dave Graue and Jack Bender DEAR ABBY: My daughter, the mother of six children, has left her husband and is now involved in a three-way with a man and woman. She has not shielded her kids from these "new friends," as she calls them. Because I won't let her "friends" come along, she refuses to visit me. I love my daughter, but I consider this relationship to be sick, and I hate that she's exposing her children to these people. Am I wrong to tell her to leave her bedroom activity out of the picture and visit me for just a day without them? We were always very close, but no more. -- DISTRESSED MIDWESTERN GRANNY DEAR DISTRESSED: I'm sure you love your daughter, but sometimes the way we phrase things can get in the way of the message we are trying to convey. Perhaps if you invited her to visit "because you love her and would like to spend some mother-daughter time with her," it would be perceived as less judgmental and more welcoming. She may be reluctant to spend time alone with you because she knows it will result in a lecture from you about her lifestyle. Remember, she's an adult woman and can make decisions about her sex life for herself. While you and I may think it's unwise for her to expose her children to this triad, that message might be more appropriate coming from THEIR father, rather than HER mother. DEAR ABBY: For the past few months I have been dating a man I'll call "Barry." This is my first relationship in five years and we get along well. When we first met, I was physically attracted to Barry for many reasons, but in particular because he had a gorgeous beard. A beard is kind of important for me. Some women like tall men, others like long hair. I'm a "beard woman." The problem is, Barry has told me I ogle any beard I see (not true). And he now gets annoyed if I look at or compliment HIS beard. A few days ago, he shaved it off. I care about Barry, but I'm not as attracted to him when he's clean-shaven. I think he did it as an act of defiance. How can I get him to understand that I don't ogle every beard I see, and convince him to keep his whiskers without hurting his ego? -FUZZ-LOVING IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR FUZZ-LOVING: Barry may have shaved the beard as "an act of defiance" -- or not. He may have done it because it was uncomfortably hot or itchy, and he prefers being clean-shaven. My advice is to ask him -- in a non-hostile way -- why he got rid of it. Many people think that the person BEHIND a beard is what's most important. However, if you're not one of them, because he's no longer willing to wear one, you may have to look elsewhere for a furry friend. DEAR ABBY: I am at a loss about what to tell certain friends and family members about my job. I work in the adult industry to put myself through college, and I'm having a hard time finding a lie I can stick to. While I am not ashamed of what I do, I certainly can't tell my grandfather. This puts me in the awkward predicament of having to be dishonest with someone I love. Do you have any advice? -- LIVING A DOUBLE LIFE DEAR LIVING: Yes. Because lying to your friends and relatives makes you uncomfortable, consider some other way to pay for your education.

Who can resist home-baked goods and the smell of something yummy when you walk in the door that says "Welcome home"? So many keep asking about the HELOISE ANGEL BISCUIT recipe that my mother, the original Heloise, printed more than four decades ago. And yes, they are just as soft as little angels. So here is my family recipe just for you. This dough can be made up to three days in advance and stored in the refrigerator in a covered bowl. Gather the following ingredients: 1 package dry yeast 1/4 cup warm water 2 1/2 cups flour 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1/8 cup sugar 1/2 cup shortening 1 cup buttermilk Heloise Dissolve the yeast in warm water and set aside. Place all the dry ingredients (in the above order) in a bowl and mix. The shortening should be cut in, similar to when making pie crust. Stir in the buttermilk and the yeast mixture. Mix well and refrigerate in a covered bowl. Take the dough out when ready to make biscuits. Knead it LIGHTLY on a floured counter or board. Roll out the dough gently and cut into shape. I use a small juice glass to "cut" out just the right-size biscuit. Place the biscuits in a greased pan and allow to rise slightly. Bake in a 400 F oven for 12-15 minutes. Enjoy! -Heloise P.S.: Make a double batch, because they will just "float" away, they are so light. SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O.

I want to substitute honey. Can I substitute honey for sugar? -Gaylen C., Bella Vista, Ark. Yes, you can substitute honey for sugar! Here are a couple of hints: Use a one-to-one substitution (1 cup of honey in place of 1 cup of sugar). However, when a recipe calls for more than a cup, reduce the liquid in the recipe by 1/4 cup per cup. Then lower the oven temperature by 25 degrees to prevent overbrowning. -- Heloise HEALTHY RINSE Dear Heloise: I love coleslaw, but everything sold in my area is too rich and sugary. I purchase a package, put it in a strainer, then pour water over it and watch the excess mayonnaise and sugar go down the drain. My coleslaw now has a sensible calorie count, and to me it tastes better. -- Marvin P., Torrington, Conn.

Bridge Phillip Alder FIREWORKS IN ENGLAND AND AT THE TABLE Jeff Foxworthy joked, "You may be a redneck if ... your lifetime goal is to own a fireworks stand." That is timely because this is Guy Fawkes Night in England. Fireworks are set off and bonfires burn an effigy of Guy Fawkes, whose gang tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament in 1605. There were fireworks when today's deal was played. What do you think of the auction, what should West lead against three clubs, and what is the outcome? East's passedhand takeout double was aggressive but acceptable. South was right to rebid one spade. Then West might have passed, but one no-trump was reasonable. That should have been passed out (and defeated), but South could not resist one more bid. West's two-spade call was imaginative, given South's one-spade rebid. That contract would have required excellent guesswork by West; however, one can understand North's three-club raise. West found the best start: a low trump. South took the trick with his king and led a low spade. West carefully put up his eight, but then strangely shifted to the diamond six, instead of continuing with the club jack (not that that defeats the contract if declarer plays hearts twice through West). Declarer won with his diamond ace and should have led a heart or ruffed a spade, Omarr’s Daily Astrological Forecast BIRTHDAY GAL: Actress Kelly Rutherford was born in Elizabethtown, Ky., on this day in 1968. This birthday gal is known to TV fans for her roles as Lily van der Woodsen on "Gossip Girl" and Megan Lewis on the original "Melrose Place." She's also appeared on episodes of "Reckless," "Being Mary Jane" and "Bones." Rutherford made her TV debut on the soap opera "Loving" in 1988. ARIES (March 21-April 19): It's time for all your hard work to pay off. Improved communication and understanding will help you become closer to a significant other. You're inspired as a career situation moves to a new level. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Put forth what you wish to get back. With Venus in your opposite sign, it seems as though everyone is kinder toward you than usual. But maybe what you see is just your own thoughtfulness reflected in someone's face. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Money can't buy class or distinction. You can achieve your dreams by energetically pursuing them. Don't be distracted by passing whims and fancies that tempt you to spend money carelessly. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You get credit as a good business person but must remember to give others credit when credit is due. Money could be siphoned from your pocket if you're fooled by appearances or if you overindulge in creature pleasures. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Those elusive castles in the air are within reach. Share your thoughts, dreams or desires with a significant other who may be ready to offer support. The two of you may become as obsessed with a new idea as a dog with a bone. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your dreams could come true, but this may not be the day to start off on a fresh initiative without advance planning. Family or home expenses could spike. Don't jump into action at the drop of a hat. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Gather ideas and inspiration from someone close to you. Ignore business schemes that sound too good to be true. Place a pre- but he played a diamond to dummy's king and ruffed a diamond low. West happily overruffed and led the club jack, on which East discarded his heart four to give West count in the suit. So, when South won and finally tried a heart, West ducked and the contract had to fail. Jeraldine Saunders mium on intuitive information that pops into your head out of the clear blue sky. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your kinder instincts are in play under these celestial conditions, making it difficult to act on your shrewd business instincts. Don't be persuaded into signing a financial contract or making an investment. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): It's time to dream, not to act. Flex your imagination and share that avalanche of new ideas with a special someone. You're more sensitive and inventive than usual, so play make-believe and put practical matters aside for a bit. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You could find someone who shares your passion for business or admires the way you handle yourself. Sidestep a definite commitment until you know more, but show that you're willing to entertain the possibilities. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Easy come easy go. Cash may flow like water in the garden hose, but it doesn't seem like a serious drain on resources when it brings a smile to a loved one's face. Tighten your financial belt and cut corners tomorrow. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your romantic nature has the upper hand. Your business sense is muddled. This can be a good time to rustle up some new ideas and write them down. If you start something new, you'll soon be back to the drawing board. IF NOVEMBER 6 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Your prospects for the year ahead may be dazzling as you experience heightened ambitions and become more passionate about reaching a pinnacle of success. An unobtrusive opportunity in late November could be easily overlooked but could open some important doorways and make life easier for a long time to come. You may find true love or your true calling by the end of the year, when you reach the height of your attractive powers. January is a good time to make a key commitment or start a new job. Whatever becomes a heartfelt passion in your life you're sure to accomplish, you'll be willing to work hard.

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.

The Press regrets the error. www.thesheridanpress.com WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2014 Bonino scores 2 goals as Canucks beat Avalanche DENVER (AP) — The Vancouver Canucks had a hard time solving goaltender Semyon Varlamov. Once they did, the goals came in bunches. Nick Bonino scored two goals, Ryan Miller made 20 saves and the Canucks overcame an early deficit to beat the Colorado Avalanche 5-2 on Tuesday night. Henrik Sedin and Derek Dorsett also scored for the Canucks. Chris Higgins had two assists for Vancouver, which controlled the game after two quick goals by the Avalanche. It was Vancouver’s fourth win in five games. It looked like the Canucks were going to be victimized by a hot goalie until Sedin finally got one by Varlamov in the waning moments of the second period. Sedin, stationed in front of the net, picked up Daniel Sedin’s rebound and beat Varlamov with 4 seconds left in the period. It capped a dominant period for Vancouver, which outshot Colorado 16-8. “In the second we just took the game over,” said Shawn Matthias, who scored the final goal. “I’d like to see how long we had the puck. It seemed like we were rolling the lines and cycling the puck. All four lines were rolling.” The Canucks continued to control the play and tied it early in the third when Dorsett deflected Dan Hamhuis’ shot over the shoulder of Varlamov at 2:27. Bonino gave Vancouver the lead when he corralled a loose puck in the crease and put it in the open net at 4:47. “Seems like when they scored that late goal with 4 seconds left in the second period that gave them some momentum going into the third period,” Avalanche coach Patrick Roy said. Bonino got his second nearly five minutes later when he beat Varlamov on the short side to make it 4-2. Matthias iced with his first goal at 13:10. “A great play again by Higgy. He had three guys on him, gave me the pass,” Bonino said. “I was going to get squeezed off if I didn’t put it on net. Sometimes they go in, sometimes they don’t.” Varlamov had 32 saves and John Mitchell and Jamie McGinn had goals for the Avalanche, which has lost three straight. Colorado, which started last season 12-1, is 3-6-5. �I spotted them two goals I felt like I had to calm things down, in my mind as well. I needed to calm down and battle through. We were able to get through some penalty kills and the guys got rewarded in the third period.’ Ryan Miller Goaltender for Vancouver Canucks The team had an impromptu meeting after the game following Tuesday’s loss. “We talked amongst ourselves, and I think we’ll keep that at that,” captain Gabriel Landeskog said. “We’ll keep that in the dressing room. We have to be better.” The Avalanche went ahead 1-0 on Mitchell’s goal 1:15 into the game. He got a drop pass from Alex Tanguay and beat Miller with Colorado’s first shot of the game. McGinn made it 2-0 late in the first when Jarome Iginla fed him with a pass from behind the net and McGinn put the puck in the top right corner at 16:33. Nathan MacKinnon had a chance to make it 3-0 in the second when he stole the puck in the Vancouver zone but Miller made a glove save. “I spotted them two goals I felt like I had to calm things down, in my mind as well,” Miller said. “I needed to calm down and battle through. We were able to get through some penalty kills and the guys got rewarded in the third period.” The Avalanche killed off all four of their penalties and increased their streak to 29 straight penalty kills. It’s the longest for the team in a single season since 2001-02. O’Grady to step down as European Tour chief exec SHANGHAI (AP) — European Tour chief executive George O’Grady is stepping down after 10 years, saying it was a good time to leave after another overwhelming Ryder Cup success and enough “green shoots of recovery” across the tour. O’Grady asked the board to start looking for a successor, the tour said Wednesday in a statement. It was not clear when he would officially step down. O’Grady has agreed to stay on until the European Tour board finds a replacement, and then sufficient time for his successor to make a smooth transition. O’Grady, who has been with the tour in some capacity for more than 40 years, will become president of international relations, in which he will represent the European Tour when golf returns to the Olympics in 2016. “The European Tour and its players are admired throughout the world of golf, and George has played a key part in building global relationships and developing the tour,” said David Williams, chairman of the tour. O’Grady became only the third chief executive of the tour in January 2005, following 30 years of Ken Schofield and John Jacobs, who oversaw the tour’s formative years from 1971-74. “In the aftermath of what I believe to have been the best presented Ryder Cup since my first involvement in the contest at Royal Lytham in 1977, I felt this was the right time to ask the board to begin the search for my successor,” O’Grady said. “It is my firm belief that, coming toward the end of what has been another incredibly successful season, we are now seeing the green shoots of recovery across Europe, and I am pleased that this coin- PICKLES NON SEQUITUR cides with all our building blocks, in terms of key television and sponsorship contracts, being in place.” It has not always been smooth sailing. A year after O’Grady was on the job, PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem announced The Players Championship would move from March to May, right about the time European events returned to the continent. The U.S. tour also launched the FedEx Cup, a $35 million bonus pool in August and September which became even more attractive to Europeanborn players. With more players heading for America, the European Tour bumped up the required number of events for its members from 11 to 13 to beef up support. A critical point was in 2006 at La Costa for the Match Play Championship, where O’Grady assembled two dozen European players in the field for a meeting to allow them to share ideas on keeping the European circuit strong. He said the central message that night was that the “European Tour is worth fighting for.” A few years later, O’Grady oversaw the new Race to Dubai that provided a year-end bonus to European players. And with the economy struggling in Europe, the tour adjusted its schedule to become the most global tour in golf. It was the first to tap heavily into the Asia markets — particularly China — and holds events in the Middle East, along with South Africa. “He’s had a good reign,” Justin Rose said. “There’s no doubt there has been challenges. The European Tour and the economy and the markets in which the European Tour has been going is difficult.”
