Fixing an education funding shortfall on track to top $380 million a year was one of Gov. Matt Mead’s top hopes for the eight-week session. The bill, which would launch a potentially yearslong process of addressing the shortfall, now heads to his desk. The bill carries $34.5 million in education cuts. While not nearly enough to erase the shortfall before it sets in next year, the cuts accompany a plan to study and revamp education funding amid weak state revenue from coal, oil and natural gas extraction. the fastest and most physical team it had faced all year in Wyoming Indian. The Lady Chiefs ran an effective full-court press on the Lady Rams, jumping out to a quick 5-point lead in the opening minutes of the game.

I believe Bison from Iowa adapting to new Wyo. environment CASPER (AP) — A group of bison relocated from Iowa appear to be thriving as their first winter in Wyoming comes to a close. The Daily Ranger reported that the 10 bison were brought to the Wind River Indian Reservation in November as part of a long-term repopulation effort. Bison once ranged widely across Fremont County. The Eastern Shoshone tribe obtained the bison from the Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge in Iowa. The tribe’s Jason Baldes says the bison have adapted very well to the 300 acres of Shoshone land. CONTEST : Teams from Wyoming, Montana, SD any program has to be versatile to fit into our busy daily lives and the choices this program allows her are working well. Kristen has gotten stronger and fitter. Her weights and intensity are going up on everything and she is able to handle much harder workouts now. This last week was a great example. It was the first time she wasn’t battling travel fatigue or sickness and it showed with plenty of hard work and energy expended. I am confident that if she continues working on her consistency and making time for her exercise she will get to her goals of a healthier body and being able to enjoy running again. Sometimes I meet clients who just need a “leg up.” They want a trainer for a short time to get them going and give them some knowledge to improve their health. Kristen has said several times that this experiment wasn’t about weight loss. She was hoping to get the kick start she needed to begin a regular exercise program. She knows that she has to do the work to achieve better health and not just focus on the end of the journey. I am happy to see she has already begun to make big changes in her life to establish better habits, and with that will come the weight loss. I look forward to seeing her at the local 5Ks over the next several months and being a part of her continued success. One of my favorite parts of owning a gym is the people every day that are a constant in my life. I know their life schedules and their pre-workout rituals, their injury history and whether they prefer doughnuts, tacos or wine for a reward. It’s great to witness people striving for better every day within themselves. It’s wonderful knowing my customers and being a part of their lives. We all go through good times and bad times and we all have our own story to tell. I hope this series of articles has given you the boost to become your own healthier version of you. It’s never too late to improve your health. By focusing on changes you can live with and stick to today, you may be amazed to see the changes that can happen by summer! EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the last column in a series of articles written by Sheridan Press editor Kristen Czaban and PURENERGY owner Caryn Moxey. The columns followed an eight-week journey of Czaban working with personal trainer Moxey to help form healthy habits. Sheridan College faculty will judge the competition with assistance from students currently majoring in agriculture at the college. Brett Burke, SC ranch business management instructor, will direct the farm business management event. Students will be required to analyze farm/ ranch business management information, apply economic principles and concepts of farm business management to the decision-making process, evaluate farm business management decisions and work together cooperatively as a group to solve a management scenario. Nick Siddle, retired ag instructor and FFA advisor at Sheridan High School, will oversee the horse evaluation event, which will take place at the Sheridan College AgriPark. Students will be required to evaluate and rank horses based on breed characteristics, conformation and performance. As a team, students cooperatively solve problems related to equine selection, management, nutrition and production. Keith Klement, SC director of agriculture, and Ami Erickson, horticulture instructor, will prepare the environmental and natural resources competition, in which students will be tested on their ability to identify wildlife and plants, use field sampling equipment and solve natural resource and environmental concerns in written and oral presentation format, both as individuals and in team setting practicums. These events are similar to what the students will compete in during their respective state FFA competitions later this spring.

CUTS : More work will be required on education funding in the state, legislators say FROM 1 “We really, honestly, I think got our own way,” Sen. Hank Coe, R-Cody, told fellow senators. With Mead’s approval, a special legislative committee and Mead appointees would get to work on the problem year-round. The bill remained in limbo through most of the session’s last day. The House voted 51-9 Friday morning not to agree to Senate changes to the measure. Those changes included stripping a half- cent state sales tax increase and reallocation of $84 million in mineral tax revenue toward K-12 education. Both revenue measures originated in the House. The House vote against the bill sent it to a conference committee of three senators and three representatives, who worked out a compromise in a 15-minute meeting. Throughout the session, the Senate opposed new and earmarked revenue when considering the state’s fiscal outlook. Emergency funding for education hasn’t run out and the state’s fiscal position could improve, they argued. Senators meeting with representatives continued to oppose dedicating new revenue for education. “I can just tell you we’re not going to budge,” Coe told his House counterparts on the conference committee. The committee instead compromised on funding cuts for instructional facilitators — education experts who coach teachers — to get roughly midway between the $32.5 million in cuts proposed by the House and $37.5 million sought by the Senate. Other cuts would freeze development of alternative schools and prohibit school districts from buying or leasing new school buses. The state also would tinker with how it calculates student enrollment for funding purposes. More work on education funding will be needed next winter, Harshman said, when the Legislature meets for a four-week session to craft a two-year budget. “Be ready,” he said. “These are going to be tough decisions. But that’s what we all signed up for.” PEOPLE MONDAY, MARCH 6, 2017 www.thesheridanpress.com THE SHERIDAN PRESS Sonja Caywood to teach ‘Uncorked’ in new space Thursday from 7-9 p.m. For “Uncorked,” Caywood will SHERIDAN — Sonja Caywood will guide attendees through painting teach the first class in the SAGE their own 16-inch-by-20-inch masterCommunity Arts new space on piece on canvas.

He was 90. The University of Pittsburgh, speaking on behalf of Starzl’s family, said the renowned doctor died Saturday at his home in Pittsburgh. Starzl performed the world’s first liver transplant in 1963 and the world’s first successful liver transplant in 1967, and pioneered kidney transplantation from cadavers. He later perfected the process by using identical twins and, eventually, other blood relatives as donors. Since Starzl’s first successful liver transplant, thousands of lives have been saved by similar operations. “We regard him as the father of transplantation,” said Dr. Abhinav Humar, clinical director of the Thomas E. Starzl Transplantation Institute. “His legacy in transplantation is hard to put into words — it’s really immense.” Starzl joined the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine in 1981 as professor of surgery, where his studies on the anti-rejection drug cyclosporin transformed transplantation from an experimental procedure into one that gave patients a hope they could survive an otherwise fatal organ failure. It was Starzl’s development of cyclosporin in combination with steroids that offered a solution to organ rejection. Until 1991, Starzl served as chief of transplant services at UPMC, then was named director of the University of Pittsburgh Transplantation Institute, where he continued research on a process he called chimerism, based on a 1992 paper he wrote on the theory that new organs and old bodies “learn” to co-exist without immunosupression drugs. The institute was renamed in Starzl’s honor in 1996, and he continued as its director. In his 1992 autobiography, “The Puzzle People: Memoirs of a Transplant Surgeon,” Starzl said he actually hated performing surgery and was sickened with fear each time he prepared for an operation. “I was striving for liberation my whole life,” he said in an interview. Starzl’s career-long interest in research began with a liver operation he assisted on while a resident at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. After the surgery to redirect blood flow around the liver, he noticed the patient’s sugar diabetes also had improved. Thinking he had found the cause of diabetes to be in the liver rather than the pancreas, he designed experiments in 1956 with dogs to prove his discovery. He was wrong, but had started on the path that would lead to the first human liver transplants at the University of Colorado in Denver seven years later. Today’s Highlight in History: On March 6, 1857, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Dred Scott v. Sandford, ruled 7-2 that Scott, a slave, was not an American citizen and therefore could not sue for his freedom in federal court. On this date: In 1834, the city of York in Upper Canada was incorporated as Toronto. In 1836, the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas, fell to Mexican forces after a 13-day siege. In 1853, Verdi’s opera “La Traviata” premiered in Venice, Italy. In 1933, a national bank holiday declared by President Franklin D. Roosevelt aimed at calming panicked depositors went into effect. Chicago Mayor Anton Cermak, wounded in an attempt on Roosevelt’s life the previous month, died at a Miami hospital at age 59. In 1944, U.S. heavy bombers staged the first full-scale American raid on Berlin during World War II. In 1953, Georgy Malenkov was named premier of the Soviet Union a day after the death of Josef Stalin. In 1957, the British Gold Coast and British Togoland became the independent state of Ghana. In 1967, the daughter of Josef Stalin, Svetlana Alliluyeva, appeared at the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi and declared her intention to defect to the West. Singeractor Nelson Eddy, 65, died in Palm Beach, Florida. In 1970, a bomb being built inside a Greenwich Village townhouse by the radical Weathermen accidentally went off, destroying the house and killing three group members. In 1981, Walter Cronkite signed off for the last time as principal anchorman of “The CBS Evening News.” In 1987, 193 people died when the British ferry Herald of Free Enterprise capsized off the Belgian port of Zeebrugge. The first “Lethal Weapon” movie, starring Mel Gibson and Danny Glover, was released by Warner Bros. In 1997, a gunman stole a million-dollar Picasso portrait (“Tete de Femme”) from a London gallery. (The painting was recovered and two suspects arrested a week later.) Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II launched the first official royal website. Ten years ago: Vice President Dick Cheney’s former chief of staff, I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, was convicted of lying and obstructing an investigation into the 2003 leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame’s identity. (President George W. Bush later commuted Libby’s 30-month prison sentence, but did not issue a pardon.) Some 70 people died in an earthquake on Sumatra island, Indonesia. Five years ago: In Super Tuesday contests, Republican Mitt Romney narrowly won in pivotal Ohio, seized a home-state victory in Massachusetts, triumphed in Idaho, Vermont and Alaska, and won easily in Virginia, where neither Rick Santorum nor Newt Gingrich was on the ballot; Santorum won contests in Oklahoma, Tennessee and North Dakota, while Gingrich won at home in Georgia. One year ago: Former first lady Nancy Reagan died in Los Angeles at age 94. Former President Jimmy Carter announced he no longer needed treatment for cancer, less than seven months after revealing he’d been diagnosed with melanoma that spread to his brain.

(AP) — President Donald Trump on Saturday accused former President Barack Obama of having Trump Tower telephones “wire tapped” during last year’s election, a startling claim that Obama’s spokesman said was false. Trump did not offer any evidence or details, or say what prompted him to make the allegation. Trump, whose administration has been under siege over campaign contacts with Russian officials, said in a series of early morning tweets that he “just found out that Obama had my ‘wires tapped’ in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!’ Obama spokesman Kevin Lewis said a “cardinal rule” of the Obama administration was that no White House official ever interfered in any Justice Department investigations, which are supposed to be conducted free of political influence. “As part of that practice, neither President Obama nor any White House official ever ordered surveillance on any U.S. citizen,” Lewis said, adding that “any suggestion otherwise is simply false.” The White House did not immediately reply to inquiries about what prompted the president’s tweets. Trump, who used to speak of having a warm relationship with Obama, compared the alleged activity by his predecessor to behavior involving President Richard Nixon and the bugging of his political opponents. “How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!” he tweeted, misspelling ‘tap.’ Trump said the wiretapping occurred in October. He ran the presidential transition largely out of Trump Tower in New York, where he also maintains a residence. Trump’s tweets came days after revelations that Attorney General Jeff Sessions, during his Senate confirmation hearing, www.thesheridanpress.com MONDAY, MARCH 6, 2017 TITLE : Lady Rams celebrate end of season with 18-game streak FROM 1 Once the jitters subsided and they settled into a groove, the Lady Rams went back to doing what they do best — moving the ball around and playing quality defense. The Lady Rams took the lead midway through the first quarter and never lost it again. But that’s not to say Wyoming Indian didn’t come close to taking control several times throughout the game. Wyoming Indian’s Amryn Brown kept the Lady Chiefs in the game with a stellar second-half performance. She put up a total of 30 points for her team. Through her efforts, Wyoming Indian shot 19 percent from the field in the first half compared to 54.5 percent in the final two quarters. The Lady Rams held a 9-point lead in the fourth quarter when the Lady Chiefs came roaring back in the final minute. Up by 4, Emily Blaney received a hard foul and made her way to the free throw line, where she drained the final 2 points for her team. “We’ve had a lot of close games this year, so I think that helped us stay calm during the game,” Blaney said. Wyoming Indian responded with a bucket and a free throw, and Big Horn found itself with the ball with only seconds left. A foul put Blaney back at the line with just more than four seconds left. She missed the first and was called for stepping over the line on her second shot, giving the ball back to the Lady Chiefs. Wyoming Indian got the ball to half court, but didn’t have enough time to get another shot off, and the Lady Rams’ bench stormed the court in celebration. “There’s no greater feeling in the world,” senior forward Abby Buckingham said after the win. “It’s better doing it with your best friends.” Eight players registered points for the Lady Rams Saturday, but the lead scorers were the team’s seniors Buckingham and Blaney, who had 12 points apiece. “All year, it’s somebody different for us every night,” McGuire said. “That’s the way it was tonight and every step of the way.” A state title was special for McGuire, who MIKE DUNN | THE SHERIDAN PRESS Sydney Schmidt, right, celebrates with a teammate after the 2A girls state title game Saturday at the Casper Events Center.

Trump was to sign the new executive order on Monday. The directive aims to address legal issues with the original order, which caused confusion at airports, sparked protests around the country and was ultimately blocked by the courts. The revised order is narrower and specifies that a 90-day ban on people from Sudan, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, and Yemen does not apply to those who already have valid visas. The White House also dropped Iraq from the list of targeted countries, following pressure from the Pentagon and State Department, which had urged the White House to reconsider, given Iraq’s key role in fighting the Islamic State group. The fact sheet cites negotiations that resulted in Iraq agreeing to “increase cooperation with the U.S. government on the vetting of its citizens applying for a visa to travel to the United States.” A fact sheet detailing the order was distributed to lawmakers and obtained by the AP. The mere existence of a fact sheet signaled that the White House was taking steps to improve the rollout of the reworked directive. The initial measure was hast- ily signed at the end of Trump’s first week in office, and the White House was roundly criticized for not providing lawmakers, Cabinet officials and others with information ahead of the signing. Notably, Trump was not expected to hold a public signing ceremony for the new measure. Instead, several Cabinet secretaries — Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Attorney General Jeff Sessions — planned to discuss the order at an event late Monday morning. Trump administration officials say that even with the changes, the goal of the new order is the same as the first: keeping wouldbe terrorists out of the United States while the government reviews the vetting system for refugees and visa applicants from certain parts of the world. According to the fact sheet, the Department of Homeland Security will conduct a country-by-country review of the information the six targeted nations provide to the U.S. for visa and immigration decisions. Those countries will then have 50 days to comply with U.S. government requests to update or improve that information. Additionally, Trump’s order suspends the entire U.S. refugee program for 120 days, though refugees already formally scheduled for travel by the State Department will be allowed entry. When the suspension is lifted, the number of refugees allowed into the U.S. will be capped at 50,000 for fiscal year 2017. Broncs fall in regional championship, B2 MONDAY, MARCH 6, 2017 SPORTS Cowboys earn MWC tournament seven seed, B8 www.thesheridanpress.com THE SHERIDAN PRESS B1 Indoor state meet boosts teams into outdoor track season BY MIKE PRUDEN [email protected] JUSTIN SHEELY | THE SHERIDAN PRESS Sheridan College’s Ladan Ricketts shoots a 3-pointer during the first round of the Region IX Tournament Saturday at the Bruce Hoffman Golden Dome. Sheridan won 62-58 over the Northwest Trappers. Generals advance with comeback win over Northwest BY MIKE PRUDEN [email protected] SHERIDAN — The box score from Saturday’s game between the Sheridan College Generals and the Northwest College Trappers would throw the typical basketball fan for a loop. Northwest outrebounded Sheridan 47-32; the Trappers snatched 20 offensive rebounds and had more assists and less turnovers than the Generals. Sheridan also shot just 8 of 17 (47 percent) from the free-throw line. Yet, somehow, the Generals were able to walk away with a 62-58 win in the first round of the Region IX Tournament. “I’ve never been a part of a game where you got outrebounded like that, you shot that poorly from the free-throw line and still won,” Sheridan head coach Matt Hammer said after the game. As has been an issue for the Generals on numerous occasions this season, Hammer attributed the sloppy game to the lack of energy in the opening minutes. Northwest took over right away, outworking Sheridan and forcing the Generals to play from behind. The Trappers pulled down 10 offensive rebounds in the first half and assisted on 9 of 12 made field goals. More telling, though, may have been the fact that Sheridan attempted just one free throw in the half — a Celio Araujo miss on a one-and-one. Northwest jumped to a 9-4 lead in the first five minutes. Even after Sheridan cut it to 1 midway through the half, the Trappers utilized an active zone defense to make things difficult for Hammer’s bunch. With eight minutes left, Northwest took a 20-14 lead, forcing Hammer to call a timeout to try and regroup. Eight seconds later, Hammer was forced to use another timeout when Araujo got trapped in the corner on the inbounds pass. The Trappers stretched it to 10 at the 3:45 mark, but a Channel Banks 3-pointer with 50 seconds to go made it a 31-24 Northwest lead at halftime. SEE TOURNAMENT, PAGE B8 SHERIDAN — After a rousing first day at the indoor state track meet, the Sheridan Broncs and Lady Broncs had a busy Saturday to wrap up the meet. After 10 top-eight finishes Friday, Sheridan added 13 top finishes to the weekend. The Sheridan girls finished the meet in third place with 55 points — Gillette (133.6) was first, and Laramie (72) was second. The Broncs were eighth with 29 points, with Gillette (95) and Star Valley (81) taking the top two boys spots. “We were expecting anywhere from second to fifth this weekend,” SHS head track coach Taylor Kelting said. “If we went out there and really brought home some best times, we thought we might get second. But the girls did what they needed to do, so third place, we were pretty excited about that.” Kylie Sorenson led the day for the Lady Broncs with a bronze medal in the high jump. Her third-place finish came behind a jump of 4 feet, 10 inches. Pippin Robison took home two fourth-place medals Saturday. She finished with a time of 2 minutes, 22.76 seconds in the 800-meter run and added another fourth-place finish as part of the 4x400-meter relay team. Robison, McKinley Christopherson, Anna Zowada and Rachel Petersburg had a time of 4:19.17 in the race. Robison was also a part of Friday’s first-place 4x800-meter relay team. Peyton Bomar added to her weekend — third- and seventh-place finishes Friday — with two top-eight finishes Saturday. She took fifth in the long jump with a distance of 16 feet, 11.5 inches and added a sixthplace finish in the 55-meter hurdles with a time of 9.10 seconds. Right behind Bomar in the 55-meter hurdles was teammate Shelbi Kovar, who took seventh with a time of 9.63 seconds. The top Sheridan County girl of the day, though, came from Big Horn High School. Katie Lambert nabbed the silver medal in the long jump with a jump of 17 feet, 10.5 inches. SEE TRACK, PAGE B8 Combine: NFL teams finding better value in running back revival BY MICHAEL MAROT AP SPORTS WRITER INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — As Todd Gurley and Ezekiel Elliott spent the past two years crashing through conventional wisdom, Dalvin Cook saw the NFL’s two emerging stars as something bigger. He viewed them as change agents, as role models, as trendsetters, paving the way for college football’s next great runners. Now, with a whole group of backs ready to cash in on the success of Gurley and Elliott, Cook is looking to do more than join the cause. He wants to create his own story in the league’s running back revival. “After that draft class with Todd and Melvin (Gordon), and then Ezekiel came after those guys, I’ve definitely seen it (the value of running backs) go up,” Cook said Thursday at the league’s annual scouting combine. “If you put us in the right system, we can help teams win ball games.” It sounds strange coming from a league that once treated workhorse feature backs with the reverence of today’s franchise quarterbacks. But as the rules changed, the passing game opened up and the salary cap became more prohibitive, team officials searched for younger, cheaper answers. Former Denver Broncos coach Mike Shanahan was so masterful at using late-round draft picks or even undrafted rookies behind his seemingly invincible zone-blocking scheme, everyone thought they could do it. Others tried, with mixed results. Then came the dual-backfield craze. The concept was two solid backs were better than one great one because they could stay healthier and productive. That was followed by the over-30 idea — don’t waste money on an over-the-hill back. The stats mostly backed it up. The result: Each philosophical adaptation made running backs less valuable on draft weekend. From 2012-2016, only four running backs were taken in the first round and none was selected in 2013 or 2014. Things are changing again. After Seattle rode Marshawn Lynch to a Super Bowl title and almost a second, Gurley broke the first-round drought and became the 2015 Offensive Rookie of the Year. Elliott won the 2016 NFL rush- ing title and led Dallas to the top seed in the NFC, and Atlanta won the NFC championship by using essentially two productive feature backs to give quarterback Matt Ryan more balance on offense. “Running backs went through this period of — we blame that on Denver and Mike Shanahan, where you can always get your running back in the seventh round,” said Rams general manager Les Snead, who drafted Gurley. “The year we drafted Todd, and even Melvin Gordon, kind of opposite years, right?

FROM STAFF REPORTS Redskins extend head coach Gruden ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — The Washington Redskins signed coach Jay Gruden on Monday to a multi-year contract extension. Gruden was going into the fourth year of a five-year contract. The team announced the extension after Gruden and other officials returned from the NFL combine. The 50-year-old is the first coach to have his contract extended by Dan Snyder, who has owned the team for 18 years. The Redskins missed the playoffs last season after making it in 2015. They’re 21-26-1 in three seasons under Gruden, who does not have a playoff victory. Extending Gruden comes during an uncertain offseason for the Redskins, who could lose two starting receivers in free agency and have placed the franchise tag on quarterback Kirk Cousins for the second consecutive year. General manager Scot McCloughan also did not attend the combine last week with a spokesman saying he was taking care of family matters. When McCloughan was brought in Gruden was already on staff. The coach was hired by president Bruce Allen. Gruden, who celebrated a birthday Saturday, said upon evaluating himself that he should be judged on wins and losses. “Going 9-7 and winning the division last year, 9-8 after losing the playoff game to 8-7-1, you know, we’re kind of stuck right here,” he said.

OZ & ROIZEN A list of movies rumored currently to be in pre-production sounds like a formula for disaster: “Black Hole,” “Rampage,” “Uncharted,” “Monster”! But a list of prebiotics -- well, that’s a setup for feeling calm and sleeping well, according to the latest BABY BLUES® by Jerry Scott and Rick Kirkman Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Michael Roizen lab study published in the BMJ’s Archives of Disease in Childhood. Researchers in Spain and Scotland tested the ability of a prebiotic protein, lactoferrin, to reverse stress-response damage to your gut biome and to see if it could help restore normal sleep patterns, which can be disrupted by stressful events. It seems that cranked-up levels of stress hormones and other stress-related physiological responses, affecting everything from blood flow to the innate immune system, can make it hard for healthy gut bacteria to thrive. Their discovery: Although you get most of your prebiotics from non-digestible fiber found in veggies, cereals like steel-cut oats and beans, both lactoferrin and nondigestible fiber nurture beneficial DEAR ABBY DEAR ABBY: My ex-boyfriend and I broke up two years ago. We were together for nearly three years. A year into our relationship, we rescued a puppy. We broke up when she was 2. Since then, we have shared her on and off. This arrangement worked fine because we have both been single. I am now in a new relationship and feel that my ex and I should cut ties. We recently had a falling out, but he still wants to share the dog “until she is no longer in the picture.” Abby, I don’t feel that it’s feasible for us to continue sharing our dog for the next 12 to 15 years. My ex has post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and I know she helps him. However, I feel like I can provide a better home for her and give her more attention. How do we decide who gets to keep the dog? -- STILL IN THE PICTURE DEAR STILL IN THE PICTURE: You have a new boyfriend. Your ex has PTSD and needs her more than you do. Unless the animal was somehow mistreated when she was with him, let him have her. DEAR ABBY: I work as a medical receptionist for a busy private practice. We get a lot of patients from other countries, and English is not their primary language. Speaking to these patients over the phone is often very difficult. How can I ask nicely for patients to constantly repeat themselves? I need to make sure I have the correct information so the doctor can treat the patient properly. -- RECEPTIONIST IN MARYLAND DEAR RECEPTIONIST: Ask your employer how he or she wants those calls handled. There is no crime in repeating and re-repeating important information to be sure it is right. If the patient has a family member who accompanies him/her to appointments, perhaps it can be arranged that that per- gut bacteria and protect you and your gut bugs from stress-induced disruptions. That helps explain just how soothing mother’s milk can be to an infant (breast milk is packed with lactoferrin; cow’s milk ranks No. 2) and why prebiotics are essential for overall good health and a MARY WORTH by Karen Moy and Joe Giella good night’s sleep throughout your life. So here’s a preview of the prebiotics that’ll help you sleep well and keep your stress response in check. --Veggies: Jerusalem artichokes, garlic, onions, leeks, asparagus, beets, fennel, green peas, Savoy cabbage, legumes. --Fruits: nectarines, white peaches, persimmon, waterBORN LOSER® by Art and Chip Sansom melon, grapefruit, pomegranate. --Nuts and seeds: cashews, pistachios. Pauline Phillips and Jeanne Phillips son call the doctor’s office to convey any necessary information. DEAR ABBY: For my birthday my husband bought me an expensive designer purse. It was a dream come true to own this purse and I love it. My problem is it’s so expensive that I’m embarrassed to wear it around in public. I don’t want to look like a show-off. I don’t know why I care, and probably most people don’t care about what kind of purse I’m carrying. Why can’t I enjoy the gift from my husband? -- SECRET IN THE CLOSET DEAR SECRET: Not everyone is comfortable displaying the fact they have the kind of disposable income that affords them the ability to buy luxury goods. There are multiple reasons for this. Some women don’t want the attention, others feel guilty that they have the money while their friends do not, some are afraid that if they “flash” it will excite jealousy, and others fear for their safety.

I am a senior citizen and need to save money, and this makes it hard for many of us to use coupons. Also, the expiration dates are too small -- make them bigger! -- A Senior in Indiana Dear Senior: Even if you can’t use the second item, go ahead and buy it. You can save up a bagful and donate to a shelter or give to a neighbor or friend. And your “older” eyesight is NOT the problem! That print is small because they must print all the legal disclaimers on a small coupon! -- Heloise “Dear Heloise: I scrape out peanut butter with a spatula, then fill the jar with water.

World-Herald. Here’s some advice from an old friend: When you have only short notice of company coming and things are not up to par, take some fresh shirts out of the closet, display them on hangers and apologize for not having put the ironing away yet. This creates the illusion that you spent so much time ironing, you didn’t have time to clean the house! -Nancy M., Omaha, Neb. Oh yes, and if you can, pull out the vacuum cleaner and leave it in a prominent place to be seen. -- Heloise WHITE-RING STAINS Dear Heloise: To minimize white rings on wood furniture, use white toothpaste (nongel) and baking soda. Heloise Mix the two together and rub gently on the stain, noting that it can take time for the mark to disappear. Wax the piece when the mark has been removed. -- Erma in Arizona NO CUT FINGERS Dear Heloise: I learned this hint the hard way! I reached into a drawer where I store plastic wrap, aluminum foil, etc., and cut my finger pretty badly on the aluminum-foil box. Tell your readers that it is so easy to just turn the cutting side down! -- Peggy in The Villages, Fla. NEWSPAPER HAS A PEEL Dear Heloise: Here is a hint I learned from my cousin Mat: When you are going to be peeling a lot of potatoes, shrimp or other messy foods, use sheets of newspaper to hold the mess.

All y’all is plural. All y’all’s is plural possessive.” Bridge has a singular aspect -- one card in a suit. It can be invaluable when a good trump fit exists and it is opposite weakness. Look at today’s North hand. After South opens one heart, what should North respond? He has game-going values, but the best bid is definitely a wild leap to four diamonds. This is called a splinter bid. It shows fourcard support or longer, at least game-going values and a low singleton or singleton ace (or void) in diamonds. (Do not splinter with a singleton king.) Now South has no diamond losers because if necessary he can ruff them. So he uses Blackwood to uncover the heart ace, heart king and spade king. When he finds them oppo- Phillip Alder site, he bids seven hearts. How should the play proceed after West leads the diamond king? The only danger is a 4-0 trump split. If East has all four hearts, declarer is down. But if West has them, South is safe as long as he starts with the trump queen, keeping dummy’s ace and king over West’s jack and 10. Declarer continues with a second trump, winning West’s 10 with the king. He returns to hand with, say, a spade, plays a heart to dummy’s nine, draws West’s last trump and claims. South’s 13 tricks are two spades, five hearts, one diamond and five Omarr’s Daily Astrological Forecast BIRTHDAY GAL: Actress Rachel Weisz was born in London, England today in 1970. This birthday gal won a 2006 Academy Award for her performance in “The Constant Gardener.” Her other films work includes “The Light Between the Oceans,” “Oz the Great and Powerful,” and “The Mummy.” She will next star with Colin Firth in “The Mercy.” Weisz has been married to the current star of James Bond movies, Daniel Craig, since 2011. ARIES (Mar 21- Apr. 19): Whistle while you work. Mundane tasks won’t seem like such a chore if you try to make a game of them. Competitive endeavors will be right up your alley so long as you enjoy yourself and don’t get too caught up over coming out on top. TAURUS (Apr. 20- May 20): Reach out and touch someone. If the urge strikes you to call on an old friend, don’t hesitate to do it as they’ll likely be glad to hear from you. Don’t let cold feet keep you from pouncing upon a lucrative opportunity. GEMINI (May 21- June 20): Look on the bright side. Rather than getting bogged down in a pointless argument, you may fare better by showing the other party the positive aspects that your viewpoint has to offer. Take advantage of your natural charms. CANCER (June 21- July 22): Priorities come first. Once you’ve cleared your slate of responsibilities, there will be plenty of time for doing your own thing.

While it may not exactly be New Year’s Eve, your bubbling personality will make being around you like a gala event for others. You can say no and someone will feel you’ve done them a favor. VIRGO (Aug. 23- Sept. 22): Take time to smell the roses. You shouldn’t get so caught up in performing a task that you ignore a loved one who would like your undivided attention. Find the balance between work and play to make the most of your day. LIBRA (Sept. 23- Oct. 22.): Put your talents on display. You can draw notice and respect by putting your creativity into overdrive and doing what you do best. You are able to achieve any goal that you set out to conquer clubs. Note that without the descriptive splinter bid, seven hearts is effectively unbiddable. Jeraldine Saunders using the strength of your imagination. SCORPIO (Oct. 23- Nov. 21): The timing could be all wrong. It may be better to put off a new project or important decision while other events are still in motion. Devoting your time to romantic pursuits could be a worthwhile pastime. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22- Dec. 21): Don’t bite off more than you can chew. As distractions abound, you may find that you are being pulled from one situation to another without getting anything done. Set your priorities in stone and then follow them. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Stand by your decisions. Others who try to cast doubt upon your choices may only be serving their own agenda in trying to get you to change your mind. Take gossip with a grain of salt and use only trusted sources to gather facts. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20- Feb. 18): Answer the call. When it falls to you to pick up the slack in an important situation, rise to the occasion and make the most of it. Even if you are delving into unfamiliar territory, know that there are others who believe in you. PISCES (Feb. 19- Mar. 20): Never say never. A new acquaintance or startling revelation could completely change one of your long-standing opinions. It may just be that you’ve grown wiser and you don’t see the world the same way now as you did ten years ago. IF MARCH 7 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: You can successfully do just about anything on your wish list during the next four to six weeks. This is an excellent time to set crucial plans into motion or to embrace a passing opportunity. You have the will power to complete anything you begin and will have the support and wisdom of trusted advisors to help you over the rough spots. The sky is the limit until May and June when your competitive strategies hit a blockage and you should avoid making major purchases or financial decisions. You are back in the saddle during July and August and can make sound decisions and launch any of your most important plans successfully.

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. Default: Failure to fulfill an obligation, especially the obligation to make payments when due to a lender. Encumbrance: A right attached to the property of another that may lessen its value, such as a lien, mortgage, or easement. Foreclosure: The legal process of terminating an owner’s interest in property, usually as the result of a default under a mortgage. Foreclosure may be accomplished by order of a court or by the statutory process known as foreclosure by advertisement (also known as a power of sale foreclosure). Lien: A legal claim asserted against the property of another, usually as security for a debt or obligation. Mortgage: A lien granted by the owner of property to provide B7 security for a debt or obligation. Power of Sale: A clause commonly written into a mortgage authorizing the mortgagee to advertise and sell the property in the event of default. The process is governed by statute, but is not supervised by any court. Probate: The court procedure in which a decedent’s liabilities are settled and her assets are distributed to her heirs. Public Notice: Notice given to the public or persons affected regarding certain types of legal proceedings, usually by publishing in a newspaper of general circulation. This notice is usually required in matters that concern the public. Disclaimer: The foregoing terms and definitions are provided merely as a guide to the reader and are not offered as authoritative definitions of legal terms.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING The City of Sheridan, Wyoming, will conduct a public meeting at 12:00 PM, local time, on March 23, 2017, in the City Council Chambers on the 3rd floor of City Hall. The purpose of the meeting is to allow citizens to review and comment on the following project: West Works Street Area Waterline Project which consists of new 8-inch water mains under portions of Beckton Avenue, NB Avenue, Monte Vista Street and S. Badger Street. The project will have up to 3 new water line creek crossings and connect the existing water main in Centennial Lane to the water main in Works St. or Badger St. This project will provide looping of the existing water mains which provides better water quality, increase water capacity, and provide improved fire flows to the area. The project will also eliminate dead end water lines, flow restrictions and aged water mains which help reduce the amount of maintenance needed on the water system in this area. At the meeting, the City of Sheridan will present the preliminary design of the proposed project and will discuss the estimated cost of the improvements and the plan for funding the improvements. A preliminary plan of improvements, cost estimates, and the funding plan can also be reviewed at the City of Sheridan, Engineering Department, 55 Grinnell Plaza, Sheridan, WY. Contact Mr. Joe Schoen at (307) 675-4237. Based on current cost estimates, the proposed project can be completed using remaining funds from an existing Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund loan and an existing Wyoming Water Development Grant which was approved for the Leopard St Waterline Replacement Project. The City of Sheridan does not plan to borrow additional funds and no additional increases in user fees to complete this project. Only the scheduled user fee increases established by the City of Sheridan adopted rate study will be applied. A final plan of improvements and estimates can be reviewed in the offices of the Engineering Department at City Hall. Contact Joe Schoen, P.E., Project Manager at 307-675-4237. Written comments are also welcome and must be received by 5:00 PM, Friday, March 24, 2017. Send written comments to: Joe Schoen, P.E. City of Sheridan P.O.

B8 THE SHERIDAN PRESS www.thesheridanpress.com MONDAY, MARCH 6, 2017 TOURNAMENT: SC plays LCCC Thursday FROM B1 “We weren’t even close to being the more aggressive team on the floor,” Hammer said of the first half. “(Northwest) is just really solid on the defensive end. You never really know what they’re doing, so we tell our guys it doesn’t matter what they’re doing; it matters what we’re doing. And we have to be aggressive.” Behind the play of their core sophomore group — four of five Sheridan starters are sophomores — the Generals chipped away at the Northwest lead in the second half. Xavier Jackson attacked the rim and finished tough shots in the paint. After going 3 for 9 for 5 points in the first half, Jackson finished 8 for 17 for a game-high 18 points on the night. The Generals cut it to 35-33 four minutes into the second half and kept it around a 1- or 2-point deficit for the next several possessions. Banks knocked down a 3-pointer to tie the game at 45 and drained another one on the next possession to give Sheridan its first lead at 48-47. Sheridan never trailed again. “(Jackson) came out and did a great job attacking the glass and getting to the paint and got some tough shots in the lane to fall,” Hammer said. “He’s that sophomore that you need. When he gets to the tournament, he doesn’t want his time here to be over. Those sophomores, you could tell they didn’t want this to end.” Sheridan missed free throws late, and Northwest’s Blake Hinze hit a 3 to cut it to 61-58 with seven seconds to go, but Jackson stepped up and hit 1 of 2 free throws to seal it for the Generals. The win advanced Sheridan to the second round of the tournament, where the North 4-seed will take on South No. 1 Laramie JUSTIN SHEELY | THE SHERIDAN PRESS Sheridan College’s Channel Banks, left, drives the ball against Northwest College during the first round of the Region IX Tournament Saturday at the Bruce Hoffman Golden Dome.

The Broncs kept up their successful run of relay events with a fourth-place finish in the 4x400-meter relay. Tymer Goss, Tyler Holloway, Nathan Beraldo and Alec Riegert finished with a time of 3:31.77. Sheridan took third and fifth, respectively, in Friday’s 4x800- and 4x200-meter relays, as well. “Our relays, all weekend, did a really nice job,” Kelting said. “In a lot of our relays, we didn’t have our best teams because we had to put some other kids in individual races. But our younger kids filled in and did an even better job than we were expecting and placed higher than our expectations.” Riegert added a seventh-place finish in the 55-meter hurdles with a time of 8.51 seconds, and Brian Gonda took seventh Wyoming beats San Jose State to claim 7th seed LARAMIE (AP) — Hayden Dalton and Cody Kelley hit late 3-pointers to help Wyoming break away and take a 74-62 victory over San Jose State on Saturday and secure the seventh seed for the Mountain West Conference Tournament.

The first meet of the year will take place March 18. “Our girls we’re really excited about,” Kelting said looking ahead to the outdoor season. “We’re adding some girls from other winter sports that will really help us. We have some big goals for our outdoor season. “Our boys, same thing,” he added. “We’ll add some kids that hopefully bring some leadership to benefit our younger kids. We’re so young, so a lot of the kids don’t have that tradition. Hopefully some football players and winter sports athletes can bring some of that to the outdoor season.” son coming to a close. “It’s going to be fun,” Hammer said. “The thing with this team, we just want to keep playing. We want to stick together as long as we can. And I don’t think there’s a team that we can’t compete with. Our good is just as good as anyone else’s. We’ve just got to get ready and go over there and try to jump on them from the start.” Final Northwest College……............................................31 27 — 58 Sheridan College………...........................................24 38 — 62 Scoring Northwest — Bains 16, Londole 15, Leach 8, Lombardy 6, McArthur 6, Koud 3, Hinze 3 Baxter 1 Sheridan — Jackson 18, Banks 9, Ricketts 9, Araujo 7, Sherrell 6, Harris 6, Dieng 4, Brown 3 Rebounds Northwest 47 (Bains 15); Sheridan 32 (Dieng 10) Assists Northwest 16 (Koud, Bains 4); Sheridan 13 (Araujo 4) BACKS: Two 2,000-yard rushers in class FROM B1 “He had a freshman slump, Todd had a sophomore slump. They get drafted in the first round, they ended up producing. Ezekiel Elliott, put that guy behind that line and guess what? Defenses have problems. “This year, you have another group of running backs who are pretty good. They’re going to go first round and they’re going to help teams.” With LSU’s Leonard Fournette , Cook from Florida State and Stanford’s Christian McCaffrey all projected to go in the first round, it could be the deepest running back class in years. Tennessee’s Alvin Kamara could move into the first round, as well, and the class includes two 2,000-yard rushers — Texas’ D’Onta Foreman and San Diego State’s Donnel “D.J.” Pumphrey. The timing couldn’t be better. Green Bay, Detroit and Indianapolis went into the offseason looking for backfield help and after releasing longtime stalwarts Adrian Peterson and Jamaal Charles , Minnesota and Kansas City could be in the market, too. And teams looking to follow Atlanta’s model could be looking for more than one. Wisconsin’s Corey Clement said one Packers scout told him Green Bay may draft two running backs. “I have always thought that it was valuable when you could have two or three backs that you can run in there,” Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. “If you have one guy who is so dominant that no one else deserves playing time, then you have a great one. I don’t think it’s any more valuable today to have multiple backs than it was 15 years ago, but we always have been an advocate of having a one-two punch at running back.” Cook may or may not agree with Carroll’s notion. But he and the other college backs in this class are ready to prove that they can be game-breakers. And, like Gurley and Elliott, they’re not planning on wasting any time joining the club. “With the running backs we’ve got in our class and next year’s running backs, a lot is going to change,” Fournette said. “With this group a lot of these players are going to succeed in the NFL and contribute as soon as they get there.” Keselowski wins Atlanta after Harvick miscue went a little too fast on his last trip down pit road, leading to a penalty that dropped him to HAMPTON, Ga.

BY PAUL NEWBERRY AP SPORTS WRITER “I’m just snake-bit here,” Harvick said. “But it was my own doing.” Keselowski could understood how it happened, especially on a day when a number of top drivers — including two-time defending race winner Jimmie Johnson — ran afoul of the 45-mph speed limit. “Anyone who wants to leave a comfort zone, I’m going to push harder and I’m going to beat them,” Keselowski said. “You’ve got to run right to the limit. Sometimes, you’re going to go over.” Here are some other things we learned Sunday: CHASING A VICTORY: Chase Elliott’s first career Cup victory could come any week now. The 21-year-old Georgia native had another close call at his home track, running as high as second one week after leading the Daytona 500 before running out of fuel late in the race. Elliott might’ve been the one in position to seize the Atlanta win if not for a slow pit stop that cost him several positions near the end. He wound up fifth. NO EXCITEMENT YET: The three-stage system has yet to produce the kind of drama NASCAR was hoping for when it made the drastic change. Harvick was far out front at the end of the first two stages, so the new format largely served as a convenient commercial break for Fox. SLOW DOWN: NASCAR has become a speed trap. Thirteen penalties to 11 drivers were doled out Sunday for exceeding the speed limit on pit road, compared to only one in last year’s Atlanta race. With additional timing lines along pit road, Johnson was among those nailed twice for going too fast. His bid to become the first driver to win the Atlanta race three years in a row ended with a disappointing 19th-place finish. TO PAVE OR NOT TO PAVE: Atlanta Motor Speedway is supposedly heading for its first resurfacing in 20 years, but track officials raised the possibility of delaying the project after a number of drivers — Keselowski among them — pleaded to keep things like they are. “Don’t do it!” the winner pleaded. Many drivers like the rougher surface because it provides more racing lines, sets up additional chances to pass and improves the quality of the event.
