Barnes sentenced to 6-10 years in embezzlement case
BY KELLI HEITSTUMAN-TOMKO
THE SHERIDAN PRESS
SHERIDAN — Judge William
Edelman of 4th Judicial District
Court heard testimony from investigators, victims and character witnesses
Thursday before sentencing Ronald
Barnes for felony fraud and larceny.
Barnes, 55, had been charged with
five counts of felony fraud and two
counts of felony larceny in a case in
which he embezzled more than $1 million in royalties from local company
Summit Gas Resources between 2004
and 2012.
Barnes received six to 10 years in
prison for one count of obtaining
property under false pretenses.
Edelman sentenced Barnes to eight to
10 years in prison for each of the
other six counts against him — another four counts of obtaining property
under false pretenses and two counts
of larceny — but those sentences were
suspended, and Barnes was given
eight to 10 years of supervised probation instead, set to run consecutively
to his prison sentence.
In addition to about $2,500 in court
costs and fees, Barnes must pay restitution of the $1 million stolen from
Summit Gas Resources, Inc., during
the nine years that he was employed
with the company.
Barnes had originally pled not
guilty to all charges but then changed
his plea several months ago to guilty.

SHERIDAN — John Dick wants Sheridan
to grow — and that begins one business at a
time.
Dick, the director of the Wyoming
Technology Business Center in the
Sheridan area, has taken the reins as the
head of Sheridan’s business incubator.

‘The idea with the business
incubator is that you bring in an
early-stage company and you provide
space and business and management
advice. And we think we can help these
businesses grow larger and faster than

SCSD3 selects new board member
BY ALISA BRANTZ
THE SHERIDAN PRESS
CLEARMONT — The Sheridan
County School District 3 Board of
Trustees selected a new member
Wednesday night during the regular
meeting of the board.
A vacant seat was left on the board
after trustee Dave Mills resigned in
December, two years into his four-year
elected term.
Mills unexpectedly moved out of the
district.
The board advertised for letters of
interest for the vacated position
throughout the last month and received
two replies in the mail.
One letter was written anonymously
by someone claiming to be a member of
the community who was disappointed
in the current leadership and direction
of the district. The author recommended a member of the community for the
open position, but the individual they
recommended did not submit a letter of
interest.
The second letter received was a letter of interest from community member Barry Bauer, who was chosen for
the position.
A former junior high football coach
in Johnson County, Bauer has been a
member of the community for many
years, working and living as a rancher
just outside of Clearmont.
“The board could have reopened the
position if they didn’t feel there were
qualified applicants, but they know
Barry and thought he would be a good

addition to the board of trustees,”
Superintendent Charles Auzqui said.
“It’s been advertised in the community,
and they went out and talked to the
community; they are doing a great job
of keeping up with what needs to happen in our district.”
Bauer will be sworn into the position
immediately, begin his work on the
board during the regular February
meeting and serve the remainder of
Mills’ term, set to expire Nov. 30, 2016.
At that time, Bauer will face a general election if he chooses to attempt to
retain his seat.
In regards to the letter of concern,
Auzqui said he thinks the board and
district are doing a great job.
The WTBC’s mission is to work with
early-stage, high-growth and technologybased businesses throughout the state. The
WTBC business incubator program,
launched in 2006 by the University of
Wyoming, operates in Laramie, Casper and
now, Sheridan.
“The idea with the business incubator is
that you bring in an early-stage company
and you provide space and business and
management advice,” Dick said. “And we
think we can help these businesses grow
larger and faster than they would otherwise.”
Even though Sheridan is a smaller city,
Dick believes its strong business background and skilled population has great
potential for developing high-growth business.
Economic development can be viewed as
a three-part system which includes recruiting companies into the community, working with existing companies in the community and supporting startups. Dick said
their program, which has been successful
in the state for the past 10 years, focuses
solely on business startups.
The WTBC, Dick added, can assist existing organizations, such as the Sheridan
County Chamber of Commerce and
Forward Sheridan, in growing the entrepreneurial base in the region.
The WTBC incubator is aimed towards
recruiting companies that can potentially
earn between $3-5 million in revenue with a
10 to 20 percent net-profit margin. Most of
companies of that size employ 20 to 25 people, bring in skilled employees from outside
the community and have a product or service differentiated enough to allow their
business to continue to grow.
Dick said companies in this mold cause a
chain reaction. Not only are they a financial asset to the community and essential
for statewide economic diversification, but
businesses of this size tend to encourage
additional upstart companies as well.
“If you work for one of these companies,
or you see one of these companies start and
grow ... it inspires the community, it
inspires their employees to want to do businesses themselves,” Dick said. “And this is
what we want to do — we want to see the
entrepreneurial climate grow in the state.”

Fake companies used
Summit was operating as
Pinnacle Gas Resources,
Inc., when it hired Barnes
in January 2004. He became
the chief financial officer in
April 2004 and was also
named senior vice president. The company was
preparing to go public, and
Barnes’ duties involved setting up an accounting
department in preparation
for that move.
Investigators found,
though, that within 90 days
of being hired, Barnes
began stealing from the
company using both his
position and the accounting
software with which he had
trained.
‘You didn’t do a bad
thing, you did thousands
of bad things over a
10-year period.’
Judge William Edelman
4th Judicial District Court
He set up fake companies
or, in some cases, used companies that already had
accounts in the software,
and submitted false evidence that Summit owed
these companies royalty
money. He presented this
evidence to Summit CEO
Pete Schoonmaker, who
signed checks believing he
was making payments his
company owed.
Forrest Williams, from the
Wyoming Division of
Criminal Investigation, said
the checks would be
addressed to fake addresses,
but Barnes would intercept
them before they were sent
out and deposit them in a
bank in Montana. Barnes
and his now ex-wife Jayne
owned a company called
Bellcamp, and royalty
checks stolen from Summit
were deposited into that
account. Barnes said he hid
the money from his wife
and never claimed it on his
taxes.
Deputy County and
Prosecuting Attorney
Christopher LaRosa, representing the state, told the
court that Barnes adjusted
his patterns of stealing to
account for problems that
arose over the course of his
time with Summit. In 2011,
when the bank in Montana
would no longer take checks
that were not made out to
Bellcamp, Barnes created a
limited liability corporation
called BK Energy, LLC, and
set up a bank account and
post office box in Denver.
He, again, produced evidence that Summit owed
this company royalties
money and that he had
negotiated payments.
Despite a fiduciary contract with Summit, he never
revealed that he was the
sole proprietor and member
of BK Energy in any of the
five reports he filed with the
U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission.
LaRosa also told the court
that Barnes did not stop
stealing money from
Summit when gas prices
dropped and the company
began to struggle in 2009.
“The company was buffeted by forces beyond control,” LaRosa said. “There
was less money to steal, but
Mr. Barnes did not cease.”

Thune: Air Force approved
airspace expansion for Ellsworth
PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — The Air Force has
approved a proposal to establish an enormous bomber training area over the
Northern Plains, South Dakota U.S. Sen.
John Thune’s office said Friday.
The Federal Aviation Administration
will now examine the plan to expand the
Powder River Training Complex over the
Dakotas, Montana and Wyoming. If the
FAA approves the proposal it would
quadruple the training airspace, making it
the largest over the continental United
States.
Thune has said the expanded airspace
would improve national security as B-1
bombers from Ellsworth Air Force Base in
South Dakota and B-52 bombers from
Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota
would use the airspace for trainings that
resemble combat missions.
He also says the expansion would provide an additional layer of protection
against Base Realignment and Closure for
Ellsworth, which is a significant economic
driver for the Rapid City area. And the Air
Force estimates that the expanded training
airspace could save the military $23 million a year in fuel costs by reducing the
number of sorties now being sent to Utah
and Nevada for exercises.
The Air Force has provided no information on costs associated with the expansion, including potential damages.
Montana elected leaders and state aviation officials say the bombers would disrupt rural communities and scare livestock as they roar overhead on maneuvers,
dropping flares and chaff. North Dakota
U.S. Sen. Heidi Heitkamp in January
urged the Air Force to consider the expansion’s impact on civilian aircraft, businesses and medical facilities.
Under the Air Force plan, any given location across the training area could experience up to nine low-altitude overflights
annually. Supersonic flights would be limited to 10 days a year during large-scale
exercises involving roughly 20 aircraft.
As many as 78 civilian flights a day
could be impacted when the large-scale
exercises are conducted, the Air Force
said.
The Air Force acknowledged in a study
released Nov. 28 that the low-altitude
flights and loud sonic booms have the
potential to startle ranchers, recreationists and those living on four reservations
in the region.
Thune, who has been working on the
proposed expansion since 2006, said in a
statement Monday that he believes the
expansion will save taxpayer dollars.
“I’m proud of the vital role Ellsworth
continues to play in protecting and preserving America’s freedom at home and
abroad,” he said.
• The annual contracts of both
Superintendent Auzqui and Business
Manager John Camino were renewed by
the board with no changes.
• The number of meals served as of the
beginning of the year is up. The district
is currently serving between 90-100 people daily under the federal school lunch
program, including 100 percent of the
student body and a majority of the staff
members.
The district previously served 50-60
meals per day. That number increased
after Auzqui joined the district last year,
changes were made to the lunch program
and Greg Rohrer was appointed to serve
as chef.
“Mr. Rohrer is a certified chef so it’s
the menu and it’s also the taste,” Auzqui
said. “He did a great job of surveying the
students’ interests but also meeting the
federal requirements on calorie counts
while serving a product that everyone
likes.”
• The district previously had a yearbook class of one student and she moved
to Washington, so they’re in the process
of trying to figure out an alternative to
producing the yearbook. The principal is
working with the student council to
make sure the yearbook sponsor gets
something together by the end of the
year.
“We want to make sure we support her,
and the yearbook is a representation of
the student body,” Auzqui said. “Our
numbers have decreased in recent years,
and we have less students in the high
school, and now there’s no one in the
class so we may have to look at it as some
sort of extracurricular thing since most
of our students are locked into their current schedule.”
• The district learned it would cost
nearly $4,000 to do the structural analysis
of the Rock School they had hoped to perform. As a result, they will delay any further work on the project until the Spring.
“We need to communicate with some of
the local groups who have raised money
for the school,” Auzqui said. “The school
district at this time is not interested in
putting general funds toward it. We want
to make sure that money is going to the
kids.”
• Camino reported that at the end
December $2,280,415 of the total annual
budget — or 57.06 percent — remained
unspent. December saw lower overall
expenditures than each of the prior three
months.

INCUBATOR: High growth businesses
FROM 1
After arriving in Sheridan earlier this
month, Dick said he is in the process of
making contacts and recruiting businesses
to participate in the incubator. Businesses
eligible for the program do not have to be
technology-based, but they do have to have
high-growth potential.
WTBC is even looking for people who are
only at the idea stage in hopes of turning a
business dream into a reality.
“People with an idea, people who have
been thinking about something for a couple
of years and don’t know how to get — we
work with a lot of those people,” he said.
“So, for us, we want to work with a lot of
people thinking about getting into business
so we can move some of these people forward, so we have a steady flow of clients to
work with.”
As for the several companies currently in
the incubator, Dick said they will be working alongside those business to make sure
they are a good fit for the WTBC program.
The incubator was previously operated
by Forward Sheridan. The Sheridan
County Commissioners voted in November
2014 to sign a four-year agreement with UW
and turned operations over to the university.
The Sheridan incubator began in 2010
when the county was awarded a Wyoming
Business Council grant.
Wyoming lawmakers get revenue briefing
CHEYENNE (AP) — Wyoming financial
experts are set to brief state lawmakers i
Cheyenne on the state’s latest revenue
projections in the face of falling oil
prices.
Members of the state’s Consensus
Revenue Estimating Group are addressing
members of the Legislature’s Joint
Appropriations Committee Friday morning.
The CREG group said in October that
state revenue projections, not counting
unrealized capital gains on investments,
were essentially on course from estimates
earlier in the year.
The state had predicted oil prices of
over $100 a barrel in July but then cut its
forecast to about $89 a barrel in October.
Crude oil is now trading under $50 a
barrel on national markets. Officials say
every $5-per-barrel decline in oil prices
costs Wyoming about $35 million a year.

The Chamber of Commerce
conveniently forgets
its attacks on Obama
T
om Donohue, the longtime
president of the U.S.
Chamber of Commerce,
sounded ebullient as he
gave his annual report on the
health of American business
Wednesday.
“The economy is gaining
momentum,”
he declared at

Square from

spending are
firming up,”
he said in his speech, and there
are “millions of new jobs. . . .
We’ve had a few good quarters
of very solid growth, surprising some of the experts. . .
.There’s no reason to think that
another recession is lurking.”
Donohue has reason to be
upbeat: GDP and payrolls are
growing by leaps and bounds,
and stock markets and corporate profits have hit record
highs. So I felt like a bit of a
killjoy at a news conference following the speech when I asked
Donohue and the Chamber’s
top lobbyist, Bruce Josten,
about the group’s previous
warnings of doom.
“It seems to be hard to make
the case that Obamacare and
Dodd-Frank and the other policies of this administration
have destroyed the free-enterprise system,” I pointed out.
“Do you think those warnings
of yours from a few years ago
were overwrought?”
“We projected the destruction
of the free-enterprise system?”
Josten replied, incredulously.
“Something very much like
that,” I said.
“You’re crazy,” Josten said.
Added Donohue, “You find
one place that we projected the
destruction of the free-enterprise system and I’ll buy you
lunch.”
Game on, gentlemen. Here’s
Thomas Bell, chairman of the
board of the U.S. Chamber of
Commerce, speaking at a
Chamber event in July 2010:
“For the first time in my 40
years of observation, our freeenterprise system is truly at
risk.” The then-chairman further accused Washington’s
leadership of a “general attack
on our free-enterprise system”
and said, “We’re setting ourselves up to be the next
Greece.”
I propose that Donohue take
me to lunch just around the
corner from his offices, at AFLCIO headquarters. Union officials said we’re welcome at the
cafeteria, which takes cash
only.
The point isn’t that the economy is booming because of
President Obama’s policies.
The recovery until now had
been disappointing by any standard. But if the business lobby
and conservatives in Congress
aren’t going to give Obama any
credit now that the recovery is
underway, they might at least
acknowledge that the sky didn’t

fall because of his actions, and
that the socialist takeover that
many on the Hill warned of
has not occurred.
There was no such acknowledgment at Wednesday’s State
of American Business speech.
Entering through the stone pillars, walking past the Emerson
Electric, 3M and RJR Nabisco
rooms, attendees listened to
Donohue in a great hall
bedecked with the banners of
Columbus, Ponce de León and
other explorers. Donohue
explored the limits of chutzpah.
After acknowledging the
rather healthy state of the
economy, the Chamber president went right on with his
complaints about the dire harm
that would be caused by administration policies: “Employers
are being saddled with another
new health-care mandate,” and,
“Some 4,000 new regulations
will pour out.”
In his Q&A following the
speech, he went on about the
“unprecedented regulatory
onslaught” and said that “while
things are improving, the current policies of tax, spend and
regulate aren’t cutting it.” He
complained that Obama wants
“to do more tax increases,” and
he cautioned the administration and everybody else against
taking a “victory lap.”
Donohue’s complaints about
taxes and spending would have
been cleaner if he hadn’t just
called for full government funding for aviation, water infrastructure, highways and mass
transit. The highway bill, he
said, should be paid for by raising the gas tax, er, “the federal
fuels user fee.” And his demand
for curbing excesses in the
legal system might have been
more persuasive if he hadn’t
followed it by boasting, “We
don’t threaten people with lawsuits — we just sue them.”
Donohue, too, might have
acknowledged that the
Chamber is on the same page
with Obama on its priorities of
infrastructure spending, immigration and trade.
Instead, Donohue tried to
ride the current populist wave
in American politics by propounding the dubious claim
that corporate America is a
populist movement. “This is
the real economic populism,”
he said. “It’s reflected in the
more than 28 million businesses of all sizes. . . . This is the
populism that really works.”
The Wall Street Journal’s
Elizabeth Williamson asked
about Elizabeth Warren, the
populist Democratic senator
from Massachusetts. “There
are a lot of economic populists
running around,” Donohue
replied, adding that “if she
runs for president, I don’t think
the American people will share
her views.”
And what if Donohue turns
out to be wrong in his belief
that Americans will embrace
corporate chieftains as the true
populists? Maybe he’ll deny

Obama: Charlie who?
n Sunday, at the great Paris rally, the whole
world was Charlie. By Tuesday, the veneer of
solidarity was exposed as tissue thin. It began
dissolving as soon as the real, remaining
Charlie Hebdo put out its post-massacre issue featuring
a Muhammad cover that, as the New York Times put it,
“reignited the debate pitting free speech against religious sensitivities.”
Again? Already? Had not 4 million marchers and
44 foreign leaders just turned out on the streets of
France to declare “No” to intimidation, and pledging solidarity, indeed identification (“Je suis
Charlie”) with a satirical weekly specializing in the
most outrageous and often tasteless portrayals of Muhammad?
And yet, within 48 hours, the
new Charlie Hebdo issue featuring the image of Muhammad —
albeit a sorrowful, indeed sympathetic Muhammad — sparked
new protests, denunciations and
threats of violence, which in
turn evinced another round of
CHARLES
doubt and self-flagellation in the
KRAUTHAMMER West about the propriety and
limits of free expression.

Hopeless.
As for President Obama, he
never was Charlie, not even for those 48 hours.
From the day of the massacre, he has been practically invisible. At the interstices of various political
rallies, he issued bits of muted, mealy-mouthed boilerplate. Followed by the now-famous absence of any
high-ranking U.S. official at the Paris rally, an abdication of moral and political leadership for which
the White House has already admitted error.
But this was no mere error of judgment or optics
or, most absurdly, of communications in which we
are supposed to believe that the president was not
informed by staff about the magnitude, both actual
and symbolic, of the demonstration he ignored. (He
needed to be told?)
On the contrary, the no-show, following the near
silence, precisely reflected the president’s profound
ambivalence about the very idea of the war on terror. Obama began his administration by purging the
phrase from the lexicon of official Washington. He
has ever since shuttled between saying that (a) the
war must end because of the damage “keeping
America on a perpetual wartime footing” was doing
to us, and (b) the war has already ended, as he suggested repeatedly during the 2012 campaign, with
bin Laden dead and al-Qaeda “on the run.”
Hence his call in a major address at the National
Defense University to “refine and ultimately repeal”

Force, the very legal basis for the war on terror.
Hence his accelerating release of Gitmo inmates —
five more announced Wednesday — fully knowing
that up to 30 percent have returned to the battlefield
(17 percent confirmed, up to 12 percent suspected
but not verified). Which is why, since about the
Neolithic era, POWs tend to be released after a war
is over.
Paris shows that this war is not. On the contrary.
As it rages, it is entering an ominous third phase.
The first, circa 9/11, involved sending Middle
Eastern terrorists abroad to attack the infidel West.
Then came the lone wolf — local individuals
inspired by foreign jihadists launching one-off
attacks, as seen most recently in Quebec, Ottawa
and Sydney.
Paris marks Phase 3: coordinated commando
strikes by homegrown native-speaking Islamists
activated and instructed from abroad. (Al-Qaeda in
the Arabian Peninsula has claimed responsibility
for the Charlie Hebdo killings, while the kosher-grocery shooter proclaimed allegiance to the Islamic
State.) They develop and flourish in Europe’s no-go
zones where sharia reigns and legitimate state
authorities dare not tread.
To call them lone wolves, as did our hapless attorney general, is to define jihadism down. It makes
them the equivalent of the pitiable, mentally unstable Sydney hostage taker.
The Paris killers were well-trained, thoroughly
radicalized, clear-eyed jihadist warriors. They cannot be dismissed as lone loons. Worse, they represent a growing generation of alienated European
Muslims whose sheer number is approaching critical mass.
The war on terror 2015 is at a new phase with a
new geography. At the core are parallel would-be
caliphates: in Syria and Iraq, the Islamic State; in
Sub-Saharan Africa, now spilling out of Nigeria
into Cameroon, a near-sovereign Boko Haram; in
the badlands of Yemen, AQAP, the most dangerous
of all al-Qaeda affiliates. And beyond lie not just a
cast of mini-caliphates embedded in the most
ungovernable parts of the Third World from Libya
to Somalia to the borderlands of Pakistan, but an
archipelago of no-go Islamist islands embedded in
the heart of Europe.
This is serious. In both size and reach it is growing. Our president will not say it. Fine. But does he
even see it?

Smithsonian offers close
look at Spirit of St. Louis plane
WASHINGTON (AP) — Charles
Lindbergh’s Spirit of St. Louis, one of
the most treasured aircraft at the
National Air and Space Museum, has
been lowered to the floor for its first
conservation treatment in 22 years.
For decades, the single-engine aircraft
has been suspended from the ceiling
and seen from afar. Early Thursday, it
was carefully lowered to the floor. Now
visitors are getting an up-close look at
the historic plane and can better imagine what it must have been like to fly.
The Spirit of St. Louis “is a flying
fuel tank” that carried 451 gallons of
gas, said Curator Robert van der
Linden. Two large fuel tanks take up
the nose of the aircraft, leaving no
room for a front windscreen for
Lindbergh to see through. Instead he
relied on side windows, a periscope and
compass headings and calculations to
carry out his 33½-hour flight.
For the next eight months, the aircraft is expected to be in full view to the
museum’s millions of visitors as conservators repair cracks in its fabric
skin and search for other damage. The
light-weight fabric exterior, common
for aircraft of the 1920s, has become
dry and brittle with age. It covers wooden wings and a fuselage made of steel
tubing.
“Even though you can’t touch it,
you’re a lot closer to it, and it somehow
seems a lot more personal,” said Van
der Linden, chairman of the museum’s
aeronautics department.
Lindbergh became a hero of flight in
1927 when he made the first solo transAtlantic flight, flying nonstop from
New York to Paris. When the 26-yearold pilot landed in Paris, a crowd of
more than 100,000 was waiting to greet
him. Many swarmed the aircraft, tearing off pieces for souvenirs. The
French air force helped to quickly
make repairs.
After the famous flight, Lindbergh
flew across the United States on a celebratory tour and then on to Central
America and South America. Small flag
symbols were painted on the nose of
the Spirit of St. Louis to represent each
country he visited. The last flag is from
Cuba, dated 1928.
SHERIDAN — A cancer survivors support group, “A
Shared Journey,” has been

It meets Monday evenings at

Former FIFA exec committee
member Aloulou of Tunisia dies
BATA, Equatorial Guinea (AP) — The
Confederation of African Football says
Tunisian official and former FIFA executive
committee member Slim Aloulou has died.
CAF did not announce his age or a cause of
death but Tunisian media said Aloulou was
73.
CAF praised Aloulou on Thursday as an
“illustrious” servant to soccer. But he was
banned for a year and lost his job chairing
FIFA’s disputes resolution panel for offering
advice to undercover reporters on how to
bribe officials during the scandal-tainted
votes for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.
Aloulou, a lawyer by trade, was one of a
string of FIFA officials to be banned in the
wake of the 2010 votes.
CAF said Aloulou died on Wednesday, three
days before the African Cup of Nations kicks
off in Equatorial Guinea.
Winfield, long-serving
Marlboro Man,
dies in Wyoming at 85
RIVERTON, Wyo. (AP) — One of the last of
the Marlboro Men has died in Wyoming.
Darrell Hugh Winfield was 85. He died
Monday at his home in Riverton, Davis
Funeral Home said.
The Marlboro Man was a macho cowboy
whose image in advertising from the 1950s to
the late 1990s made filtered cigarettes more
appealing to men. Previously Marlboros were
marketed to women.
Winfield’s rugged good looks made him the
face of Marlboro cigarettes in magazine and
television ads from the late 1960s to the late
1980s.
Today's Highlight in History:
On Jan. 16, 1865, Union Maj. Gen.
William T. Sherman issued Special Field
Order No. 15, which decreed that 400,000
acres of land in South Carolina,
Georgia and Florida would be confiscated, divided into 40-acre lots and given to
former slaves. (The order, which was
later revoked by President Andrew
Johnson, is believed to have inspired
the expression, "Forty acres and a
mule.")
On this date:
In 1547, Ivan IV of Russia (popularly
known as "Ivan the Terrible") was
crowned Czar.
In 1883, the U.S. Civil Service
Commission was established.
In 1920, Prohibition began in the
United States as the 18th Amendment to
the U.S. Constitution took effect, one
year to the day after its ratification. (It
was later repealed by the 21st
Amendment.)
In 1935, fugitive gangster Fred
Barker and his mother, Kate "Ma"
Barker, were killed in a shootout with
the FBI at Lake Weir, Florida.
In 1942, actress Carole Lombard, 33,
her mother Elizabeth and 20 other people were killed when their plane
crashed near Las Vegas, Nevada, while
en route to California from a war-bond
promotion tour.
In 1957, three B-52's took off from
Castle Air Force Base in California on
the first non-stop, round-the-world flight
by jet planes, which lasted 45 hours and
19 minutes. Classical music conductor
Arturo Toscanini died in New York at
age 89.
In 1969, two manned Soviet Soyuz
spaceships became the first vehicles to
dock in space and transfer personnel.
In 1978, NASA named 35 candidates
to fly on the space shuttle, including
Sally K. Ride, who became America's
first woman in space, and Guion S.
Bluford Jr., who became America's first
black astronaut in space.
In 1989, three days of rioting began
in Miami when a police officer fatally
shot Clement Lloyd, a black motorcyclist, causing a crash that also claimed
the life of Lloyd's passenger, Allan
Blanchard. (The officer, William Lozano,
was convicted of manslaughter, but
then was acquitted in a retrial.)
In 1991, the White House announced
the start of Operation Desert Storm to
drive Iraqi forces out of Kuwait.
In 1995, the now-defunct United
Paramount Network (UPN) made its
debut by broadcasting the first episode
of "Star Trek: Voyager."
In 2003, the space shuttle Columbia
blasted off for what turned out to be its
last flight; on board was Israel's first
astronaut, Ilan Ramon. (The mission
ended in tragedy on Feb. 1, when the
shuttle broke up during its return
descent, killing all seven crew members.)
Ten years ago: The U.S. military
freed 81 detainees in Afghanistan, ahead
of the Muslim feast of Eid al-Adha.
Golden Globes were awarded to "The
Aviator" as best movie drama and
"Sideways" as best movie musical or
comedy.
Five years ago: As precious water
and food began reaching parched and
hungry earthquake survivors on the
streets of Haiti's ruined capital Port-auPrince, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary
Rodham Clinton met with Haitian
President Rene Preval and promised
that U.S. quake relief efforts would be
closely coordinated with local officials.
Glen W. Bell Jr., 86, founder of the Taco
Bell chain, died in Rancho Santa Fe,
California.
One year ago: The Vatican was called
to account for the global priest sex
abuse scandal as U.N. experts in Geneva
interrogated the Holy See for eight
hours about the scale of abuse, and
what it was doing to prevent it. The U.S.
Senate voted 72-26 for a $1.1 trillion government-wide spending bill, sending it
to President Barack Obama for his signature. The state of Ohio executed
Dennis McGuire for the 1989 rape and
fatal stabbing of pregnant newlywed
Joy Stewart; McGuire gasped and snorted for 26 minutes before he was declared
dead, raising questions about the drugs
used in his lethal injection. "American
Hustle" and "Gravity" each received 10
Academy Award nominations; "12 Years
a Slave" (which ended up winning Best
Picture) trailed close behind with nine
Oscar nods. Death claimed actors
Russell Johnson ("Gilligan's Island") at
age 89 and Dave Madden ("The
Partridge Family") at age 82.
Thought for Today: "A fanatic is a
man that does what he thinks th' Lord
wud do if He knew th' facts iv th' case."
— From "Mr. Dooley's Philosophy" by
Finley Peter Dunne, American humorist
(1867-1936).

US factory
output rises 0.3
percent in December
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. factory production
rose in December as manufacturers churned out
more furniture, computers and steel, offsetting a
small decline in autos.
The Federal Reserve says factory production
increased 0.3 percent last month, the fourth
straight gain. The increase comes after total output finally passed its pre-recession peak in
November.
The figures suggest that U.S. manufacturers are
adding modestly to economic growth, even as their
overseas markets shrink. Most analysts are counting on Americans’ appetite for cars, electronics
and appliances to drive greater factory output.
Overall industrial production, which includes
mining and utilities, slipped 0.1 percent last
month. Utility output plummeted 7.3 percent, as
an unseasonably warm December lowered demand
for heating.
Mining output, which includes oil and gas production, rose 2.2 percent after 2 months of
declines.

Medicare chief steps
down, took part in
health care roll-out
WASHINGTON (AP) — Medicare chief Marilyn
Tavenner — who oversaw the rocky rollout of the president’s health care law — says she’s stepping down at the
end of February.
In an email Friday to staff at the Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Services, Tavenner says she’s leaving with
“sadness and mixed emotions.”
Tavenner survived the 2013 technology meltdown of
HealthCare.gov, but was embarrassed last fall when she
testified to Congress that 7.3 million people were enrolled
for coverage. That turned out to be an overcount that exaggerated the total by about 400,000.
Calling Tavenner “one of our most esteemed and accomplished colleagues,” Health and Human Services Secrerary
Sylvia M. Burwell said the decision to leave was
Tavenner’s.
Principal deputy administrator Andy Slavitt will take
over as acting administrator.
Justices must act fast
if gay marriage to
be settled in June
WASHINGTON (AP) — Time is running short for the
Supreme Court to get same-sex marriage on its calendar if
the justices want to tackle the issue before their current
term ends in late June.
They might have to decide to jump in at their closed-door
conference Friday if they want to resolve the legal debate
over gay marriage in the next few months.
The justices would hear the case in April, the last month
for oral arguments before the next term begins in October.
Written arguments already would have to be filed on a
compressed schedule, though both sides are well versed in
the issues after numerous rounds in the lower courts.
Until now, the court has managed both to contribute to a
dramatic increase in the number of states that allow samesex couples to marry and avoid settling the issue for the
entire nation. Last week, Florida became the 36th state to
issue licenses for same-sex unions.
In October, the justices offered no explanation when they
passed up appeals from both sides calling on the court to
take up gay marriage. The court also subsequently refused
to block court orders in favor of same-sex couples from
taking effect while state officials appealed. As a result, the
number of states where same-sex couples could wed nearly
doubled.
The appeals before the court come from gay and lesbian
plaintiffs in Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee. The
federal appeals court that oversees those four states upheld
their same-sex marriage bans in November, reversing progay rights rulings of federal judges in all four states.
Ten other states also prohibit such unions. In Arkansas,
Mississippi, Missouri, South Dakota and Texas, judges
have struck down anti-gay marriage laws, but they remain
in effect pending appeals. In Missouri, same-sex couples
can marry in St. Louis and Kansas City only.
Louisiana is the only other state that has seen its gay
marriage ban upheld by a federal judge. There have been
no rulings on lawsuits in Alabama, Georgia, Nebraska and
North Dakota.

Big Horn’s broken record
Rams fall short
in comeback
to Kaycee 50-49
BY MIKE PRUDEN
THE SHERIDAN PRESS
BIG HORN — Colton Bates took a few
power dribbles with his left hand and
heaved up a tough, contested runner that
didn’t fall, and when the final buzzer
sounded at Big Horn High School last
night, the Rams had fallen just short in a
50-49 loss to the Kaycee Buckaroos (6-2).
But it was hard to believe that Big Horn
(5-7) even had a chance to win the game
since it took three quarters for the Rams to
get anything going.
It was a game of runs, and, unfortunately
for Big Horn, the Rams’ run didn’t come
until it was a bit too late.
The Rams trailed by 16 to start the fourth
quarter before their press defense chipped
away at the lead.
“We often, to pick up energy, we jump
into that press,” Rams coach Ryan Alley
said. “Early on when we first tried it, it
didn’t work so well, but the second time, it
really picked up, especially in that second
half.”
With five minutes to play, Big Horn had
cut the lead to 10 before Corey Sturza was
fouled on a 3-pointer and hit 2-of-3 from the
line. Sturza’s free-throws started a 14-4 Big
Horn run, capped off by a steal and 3-pointer by Bates that tied the game with 30 seconds to go.
But Kaycee was able to draw a foul and
get to the free-throw line, knocking down 1of-2 for a one-point lead.
Big Horn had 11 seconds to travel the
length of the floor and do something they
had struggled with the entire night: put the
ball in the hoop. When Bates’ final attempt
missed, the Rams finished the game the
way it all started.
As the vinyl spins, it skips and scratches
to the same sound it’s made in just about
all seven of Big Horn’s losses this year.
“We’ve got to find a way to start games,”
Alley said. “We just come out flat and without any intensity. It’s kind of a broken
record, but I just feel like I’m not getting
them ready to go.”
The Rams brought their shovels out early
in this one, digging the hole deep and early,
and their ladders weren’t quite long
enough to help them climb out.
Big Horn shot 26 percent from the field,
including 4-of-18 from behind the arc, and
threw in 27 turnovers along the way. As the

shots weren’t falling, Kaycee stretched the
lead to six after one quarter and eight at
halftime.
When the Rams scored the first three
points of the third quarter, it gave the fans
a glimpse of what it would take to come
back, but not before they dug the hole deeper than a Stanley Yelnats hole.
Kaycee answered Big Horn’s three points
with 14 straight to give them their largest
lead of the night at the end of the quarter
on their way to their sixth win of the season.
Alley was forced to make some adjustments last night, as a handful of his players, including his leading scorer, Seth Kite,
were battling illness. Kite scored just six
points, spending more time than normal
going and back-and-forth from the court to
the bench.
“I was just trying to find kids that were a
little healthier with a little more energy,”
Alley said. “I was proud of all of them for
the way they stepped up there at the end.”
Collin Powers led the Rams with 11
points and 14 rebounds, and Bates also contributed 11 points.
Big Horn is back in action at home today
against Rocky Mountain at 4 p.m. before
making the trip to Greybull on Saturday.
Ohio State’s Cardale Jones
says he’s staying with Buckeyes
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Not so
long ago, the only reason a lot of
people knew Cardale Jones was for
a thoughtless comment on social
media about not wanting to go to
school.
Now the national-champion quarterback is also a shining example
for educators preaching to kids to
get a degree.
It’s a turnaround almost as dramatic as the one he has taken in his
Ohio State career over the past two
months.
The big quarterback surprised a
packed crowd Thursday, declaring
at his old high school in Cleveland
that he would stay at Ohio State
rather than jump into the NFL
draft.
“My decision was very simple,” he
said. “I’m going to return next year
for school.”
That sentence was met with audible gasps in the gymnasium, then
applause from students and teachers.
Many thought that Jones, who
could have jumped to the pros after
a year spent at military school, a
redshirt season and a year capped
by starring for the Buckeyes, would
make himself available for the
draft.
After all, it was just over two
years ago he posted on his Twitter
account: “Why should we have to go
to class if we came here to play
FOOTBALL, we ain’t come to play
SCHOOL classes are POINTLESS”

BIG HORN — The Big
Horn Lady Rams are making a habit of tacking on
extra minutes to their
games, this time resulting
in a 62-58 overtime loss at
Kaycee last night.
It was the second overtime finish in as many
games for Big Horn (8-4).
It took the Lady Rams two
extra periods to take down
Lusk in their final game
of the Winter Classic last
weekend, and apparently
that wasn’t enough for
Justin Kidneigh’s team to
get their fix.
The Lady Rams got
things going inside early.
Kayla Crouse scored eight
points to give Big Horn an
18-11 lead over Kaycee (7-
2) after the first quarter.
Big Horn was able to
keep the lead around eight
or nine for the next two
quarters until Kaycee
returned the favor, downing Big Horn 18-9 in the
final eight minutes of regulation to force an extra
four minutes.
Kaycee’s offense kept
rolling in overtime, beating Big Horn 13-9 in the
period to take the win.
Bailey Bard led the Lady
Rams with 18 points.
Cassidy Enloe added 11

10.

Hole-in-1 boosts McIlroy's
pursuit of Kaymer in Abu Dhabi
MIKE PRUDEN | THE SHERIDAN PRESS
No charge
Collin Powers drives to the basket as a Kaycee defender attempts to take a charge on Thursday at Big Horn
High School.
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates
(AP) — Rory McIlroy's putter briefly
went cold at the Abu Dhabi
Championship on Friday. So he decided
to take another route to the hole.
The world No. 1 made his first competitive hole-in-one as a professional as
part of a brilliant back nine in his second round, acing the par-3 15th from 177
yards to propel his pursuit of tournament leader Martin Kaymer.
McIlroy threw his hands in the air and
high-fived playing partner Rickie
Fowler after his 9-iron landed a yard
from the hole, hopped right and trickled
into the cup.
"It never left the pin," McIlroy said
after ticking off one of the few things
he'd yet to achieve in his golf career.
A 6-under 66 — completed with a 15foot birdie putt at No. 18 — moved
McIlroy into third place on 11 under, two
shots behind Kaymer, to set up a potentially thrilling duel over the weekend
between two players who won three of
last year's majors.
McIlroy will do well to dislodge
Kaymer, though.
The U.S. Open champion followed up a
first-round 64 with a 67 to give himself a
great chance of a fourth title at the
National Course — where he won in
2008, '10 and '11.
Kaymer, who maintained his onestroke lead from overnight, is a strong
front-runner — as shown by his wire-towire victories in last year's U.S. Open
and in Abu Dhabi in '08.
He is even threatening to challenge his
own record low total in this tournament, set in '11 when he shot a 24-under
264.
"It's one of the only tournaments
where you stand on the first tee and you
pretty much know you have birdied
every single hole," said Kaymer, whose
second-round highlight came on his 10th
hole when he chipped in for birdie from
a greenside bunker.
Separating Kaymer and McIlroy on
the leaderboard is Thomas Pieters, a
strapping 22-year-old Belgian who is
starting to fulfil his potential after an
impressive college career in which he
was NCAA champion in 2012.
Pieters, seeking a first European Tour
win, shot a 67 for 12 under.
Among the players to miss the cut —
at 2 under — in the first tournament in
the annual Desert Swing were defending
champion Pablo Larrazabal, No. 2
Henrik Stenson and Italy's Matteo
Manassero. Fowler shot a 75 to drop to 2
under and just make the weekend.
McIlroy recalled making 10 hole-inones, the last coming in a pro-am two
years ago.
His first came at the age of 9 and was
also a 9-iron, on that occasion from 106
yards at his home course in Holywood,
Northern Ireland.
But one of the most thrilling feats in
golf had evaded him in competitive professional play until he stepped up at No.
15, slightly downbeat after missing very
makeable birdie putts on Nos. 13 and 14.
He stayed in his pose as the ball drew
in, kicked right on landing and took a
couple of small bounces before plopping
in.
"I didn't need to get the putter out on
that hole," said McIlroy, who walked up
to the cup, repaired his pitch mark and
scooped the ball out to whoops and
hollers from the crowd.
McIlroy was delighted with his ballstriking on a day that revived memories
of his stunning year in 2014, when he
won two majors and returned to No. 1.
He has quickly shaken off the rust following time off over Christmas.
"Ball-striking, couldn't really fault it,"
McIlroy said. "Just really happy with
how I'm playing."
Former world champ Kostner banned 16 months
ROME (AP) — Former figure
skating world champion Carolina
Kostner was banned for 16
months on Friday for her role in
the doping case involving her exboyfriend and Olympic race walking gold medalist Alex Schwazer.
Kostner's lawyer has already
said they will appeal to the Court
of Arbitration for Sport.
"I'm certainly not happy, in fact
I'm very disheartened and very
disappointed," Kostner said. "I'm
determined to go right to the end,
CEO arrested in
shooting death
of ex-pro
basketball
player
WHEATON, Ill. (AP) — A
suburban Chicago businessman is charged with murder
in the shooting death of a
former European-league
basketball player.
A DuPage County judge on
Friday denied bail for 51year-old Jeffrey Keller, the
CEO of an Internet company. He's accused of stalking
and killing 37-year-old Nate
J. Fox of Bloomingdale in
December.
Prosecutors say that
Keller believed Fox was having an affair with the same
woman with whom Keller
was "emotionally" involved.
Fox was shot to death on
his way home from work
and later died at a hospital.
Fox's obituary said he
graduated from Plainfield
High School and got a basketball scholarship to
Boston College. He later
transferred to the
University of Maine and,
after graduation, played professionally throughout
Europe from 2000 to 2012.
right to the last level of justice."
The Italian Olympic
Committee's anti-doping prosecutor had originally recommended
that Kostner be banned for four
years and three months for helping Schwazer evade a test and
other infractions.
However, following a change in
the World Anti-Doping Agency's
code from the beginning of 2015,
the prosecutor changed his recommendation at Friday's hearing,
requesting a suspension of two
years and three months. But the
doping court decided on a sanction of one year and four months
and a fine of 1,000 euros ($1,150).
The ban starts immediately and
ends May 15, 2016. It means
Kostner, the 2014 Olympic bronze
medalist and 2012 world champion, will be eligible for the 2018
Olympics in Pyeongchang, South
Korea.
She will miss the European
championships next January as
well as the next worlds, which
start March 28, 2016.
The 27-year-old Kostner was taking a year off from competition.
Kostner's hearing was part of a
widespread doping inquiry set off
when Schwazer tested positive for
EPO before the 2012 London
Olympics.
Schwazer, who won the 50-kilometer walk at the 2008 Beijing
Olympics, failed an out-of-competition test before arriving in
London and was removed from
Italy's team before competing. He
admitted using the blood-boosting
hormone EPO, and said he was
quitting the sport.
Kostner maintains that she did
not know Schwazer doped.
However, published reports of
Kostner's testimony to prosecutors in Bolzano showed she admitted to lying to WADA inspectors
who came to her home in
Germany looking for Schwazer on
July 30, 2012 — days before
Schwazer flew to London for the
Olympics.

Fist bump, Quarter
Pounder or dap, whatever
you call it, germaphobe
Howie Mandel made the gesture mainstream in 2005
when he used it to greet contestants on "Deal or No Deal."
Obama made big news when
he and Michelle exchanged
the bump after he received
the 2008 presidential nomination. And George W. Bush
gave Santa one at a capitol
Christmas tree lighting ceremony.
Now, with flu season in full
swing, it seems everyone is
using the fist bump or a high
five in place of a handshake.
And there's some science
behind that. Research from
the U.K.'s Institute of
Biological, Environmental
and Rural Sciences shows
that high fives cut bacteria
transmission in half, and a
quick fist bump knocks it
down by 75 percent to 80 percent.
But all that stand-offishness! Could it turn out to
have a downside? A new
study from Carnegie Mellon
University discovered that if
you're feeling stressed (and
who isn't), one of the best
ways to dodge a cold or the
flu is to get and give lots of
hugs. Turns out hugs are a
physical expression of support and care, and warm
embraces reduce stress -known to make you more susceptible to infections -- and
help keep immune defenses
strong. And when huggers do
get sick, they have less-severe
symptoms.
So fist bump a stranger
who stops to help you load
your groceries into your car
and the sniffling 8-year-old
next door. But share hugs
with those near and dear.
You'll spread cheer and good
health.

DEAR ABBY: My husband,
"Fred," lost a lung to cancer
14 years ago due to smoking.
He is one of the lucky ones to
survive a deadly cancer.
Even though he has only
one lung, he continues to
smoke "secretly." I have
begged, offered in-house
treatment, anything to get
him to stop, to no avail. What
is troublesome is that Fred is
in denial. For the last several
weeks, he has blamed his
coughing and wheezing on
"allergies." He also chews
nicotine gum nonstop. It's
expensive, but he uses it to
get his nicotine fix when he's
around me, our family and
friends.
I am angry, frustrated and
sad that Fred has chosen cigarettes over having a chance
to live, enjoy his grandchildren and grow old with me.
Sometimes I think he doesn't
deserve to still be on this
earth because he disregards
his health after nearly dying
from complications after his
lung surgery.
Fred is loving, warm, caring and intelligent -- except
when it comes to his health.
What can I do short of leaving him? -- MISERABLE IN
MINNESOTA
DEAR MISERABLE: There
is nothing more you can do.
Your husband is hopelessly
addicted to nicotine and he's
incapable of getting away
from it.
I doubt you are serious
about leaving him, and I
wouldn't suggest it anyway.
Try to enjoy the time you
have with him, and understand that many smokers go
to their graves begging for
cigarettes while on their
deathbeds. It's not that he
doesn't love you or that he
loves his cigarettes more.
He's HOOKED.
DEAR ABBY: I am a rentpaying adult tenant who lives
at home with my mother.
Mom gave a house key to my
sister and brother to be used
in the event of an emergency.
On several occasions they
have used their key to enter
the house unannounced, startling both me and Mom.
I have asked them to please
either knock or use the doorbell and wait to be let in
when dropping by unannounced like anyone else
would do. My brother has
graciously honored my
request. My sister thinks
that because she was given a
key she has the right to
unlock the door and come
into our home whenever she
wants to.
find what she's doing
intrusive and upsetting. How
can I get her to respect my
wishes and honor my privacy
in my own home? Mom
agrees with me, but is reluctant to ask my sister to
return the key. -- ADULT
TENANT IN CALIFORNIA
DEAR ADULT TENANT:
Your sister may feel that
because the house technically belongs to your mother (in
spite of the fact that you are
paying rent) that she doesn't
have to respect your wishes.
Unless your mother is willing to assert herself and tell
your sister she feels the same
way you do, and if it happens
again she wants her house
key returned, the problem
will continue. At this point,
the ball is in Mom's court.

sturdy plastic spatula. Don't
scrape too hard, or you'll remove paint, too! For wax that is
left, you can place a paper
towel over the wax spot, press
GENTLY with a warm iron
(low to medium setting) and
watch the wax transfer to the
paper towel. Repeat until no
more wax is absorbed into the
towel. Lastly, use a microfiber
cloth and a dash of mild liquid
dish soap, and hold over the
spot for about 30 seconds to let
the soap work. Wipe away with
a clean cloth (water only), and
that should take care of the
problem. -- Heloise
NO SCENT, PLEASE
Dear Heloise: Each Christmas, I receive numerous
"scented" gifts. Personally, I
don't want to smell like apple
pie or vanilla latte. If you don't
know a person's taste or you
haven't seen him or her using a
product, a safer gift choice
might be something nonscented. -- Kim, via email
Sometimes, the right thing to
do (or scent to choose) is to
NOT choose a scent at all. Perfume, scented dusting powder
or lotion can be a very difficult
choice unless you absolutely

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):

OTHER AIDS FOR CAREGIVERS
Dear Heloise: As a full-time
caregiver for my wife, I was
concerned about how to help
her remain as independent as
possible. I, too, used the doorbell (Heloise here: A wireless
doorbell to carry or place somewhere else, so the caregiver can
be alerted), along with anything to have handy in a small
basket next to her in bed. Here
are other hints:
* Remove door latches. Leave
the knob and attach magnetic
catches to keep the door closed.
Just bump or pull the door and
it's opened. This is for INTERIOR doors only.
* Use wireless lamp controls.
Leave the remote easily accessible.
Dear Heloise: To help my
grandchildren put their correct
shoe on the correct foot, I drew
a heart on the inner side of
each shoe. I told them one heart
was mine and one was theirs.
When the two hearts were
touching, their shoes were on
the correct feet. -- Debbie, via

PARTNER'S
STRENGTH
Eric Temple Bell was
born in Scotland but lived most of
his life in the United
States. He was a mathematician and science fiction writer who
published non-fiction
under his given name
and fiction as John
Taine. He said, "Euclid
taught me that without
assumptions, there is no
proof. Therefore, in any
argument, examine the
assumptions."
This deal occurred
during a social game.
What do you think of the
auction? What would
you have done differently?
As you can see, the
auction ground to a halt
in two spades, but declarer had no difficulty
in winning 11 tricks, losing only to East's pair of
aces.
As soon as the deal
ended, North said, "I bid
two spades because I assumed my partner had
only 11 points."
It is true, partner
might have had only 11,
but as we can see, there
was no law against his
holding more than that,
up to 17 or so.
North should have
invited game and
let partner make
the final decision.
If South had only
11 points, maybe
three spades
would have gone
down, but if South
had any extras, at
least they would
have reached their
making game.
Yes, in this instance, South was
not totally guiltfree. He should
have tried for
game with three
clubs over two
spades. For example, remove the diamond ace from
the North hand,
and four spades is

Dear Readers: I've been a
"road warrior" for a long time,
traveling to different cities and
giving speeches for charity
groups and civic organizations.
I have learned a thing or two
about PACKING. First off,
everything in miniature, if possible. I refill small containers of
liquid makeup, face moisturizer, baking soda (to brush
teeth with) and lavender essential oil when I get home.
I take enough vitamins and
medications for the trip, plus
two to three days' worth in case
the trip is unexpectedly extended. -- Heloise

somewhat unpredictable.
You can't go wrong if you
trust your instincts.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):
Take time to touch base
with your sweetheart. Holding hands with the one you
love can lead to even better
things, but complete necessary tasks first so you won't
have anything else on your
mind.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Conversations with intimate companions can promote understanding and
alleviate some of the pressures that have been building. Worthwhile plans can
be made in light of new information.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
Partners may be obsessed
by ambitions and could
still a wonderful contract. But North was
more culpable than
South.
Bid the value of your
hand and let partner
worry about his. With a
fit, be optimistic; with a
misfit, be cautious.

seem distant. You bring
your powers of understanding to the table. A willingness to accept your lot in
life will promote harmony.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.
21): Take time to tango. Obligations could eat up all
your time and prevent you
from enjoying leisure time.
You deserve some rest and
relaxation, so schedule
something fun this weekend.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Your best success
will be achieved by being
conscientious, trustworthy
and reliable. Any problems
you ignore may reappear,
so fix whatever needs mending before it gets out of
hand.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): Keep your ears open, as
allies may have astute opinions and shrewd solutions.
Your dynamic demeanor
may appear provocative to
others. Go ahead, and be a
little pushy to get your way.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18): Offer a bouquet of hugs.
There's no reason to hold
back affection or to hesitate
to prove your generosity.
The power of loving togetherness will restore your
spirits.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20): Your unwavering energy glows with a steady
flame. Take time to revel in
physical exuberance. Put
your mind to it and a stroke
of genius could help solve a
financial puzzle.
IF JANUARY 17 IS YOUR
BIRTHDAY: Your friendly
demeanor attracts a wide
circle of friends, so the next
3-4 weeks is a favorable
time for networking activities or joining organizations or clubs. Aim high, as
you have the dogged determination and dedication to
reach any goal you set for
yourself between now and
the end of July. Take advantage of helpful cosmic timing in July and grasp hold
of any chance to better
yourself. That's also a good
time to make long-term
plans and decisions, or to
put business projects into
motion, because you'll be
wiser than usual.

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

Public Hearing Notice
Sheridan Planning Commission/City Council
The following item will be heard before the Planning
Commission of the City of Sheridan, Wyoming, on
January 26, 2015. The meeting will be held in the City
Council Chambers at City Hall, 55 Grinnell Plaza,
Sheridan WY, at 7:00 P.M.
1. Consideration of PL 14-40, 2324
Dry Ranch Road Annexation,
annexing approximately 3.14 acres
into the City of Sheridan.
Additionally, zoning said 3.14 acres
as part of an B-2 Business District
(see site location map below).
The City Council is scheduled to consider the annexation
petition and zoning request following a public hearing
on February 17, 2015 (7PM, City Council Chambers), and
this hearing is advertised here per the requirements of
WS §15-1-405.
The Annexation Report is available in the City Clerk’s
office at the time of publication of this notice.
Annexation proceedings for this property have been
initiated by the City of Sheridan.
The following is a summary of the Annexation Report
with map:
Land Use and Zoning:
This property has historically been utilized as offices,
shop and maintenance yard for Montana Dakota
Utilities (MDU). City staff has recommended B-2
Business Zoning for the property. Any further
development proposal is subject to City of Sheridan
review and approval. Development density and land use
will be governed by the zoning requirements of B-2
Business Districts. Detailed information on this zoning
district may be found in Sheridan City Code Appendix A
(http://qcode.us/codes/sheridan).
City Services:
Water, sewer, and road infrastructure to serve this
annexation area are in place to serve this property, and
the property owner is already a city sanitary sewer
customer and SAWS water customer. No further public
improvements will be necessary to provide additional
municipal services. The service cost for future public
utilities connections will be dependent on ultimate use
and conﬁguration; however, for new construction,
minimum costs of water and sewer connections would
be $3,380 for water service and $3050 for sewer
service. Solid waste collection rates will be as per
Resolution 48-11.
Revenues:
The City of Sheridan presently has an 8 mil property tax
levy based on assessed value, however, the present
property owner is exempt from local property taxes. Any
new construction will be subject to one-time user fees
for City taps of at least $3561 for water and $3050 for
sewer. Minimum ongoing user fees are estimated at
$217.20 for water and $144 for sewer per customer per
year, and minimum residential solid waste collection
fees are $205.20 per year. These ﬁgures do not include
other sources of income related to changes in tax
revenues not related to property tax or utility services.

(AP) — Top-seeded Serena
Williams will play Alison
Van Uytvanck of Belgium
in the first round of the
Australian Open as she
begins her attempt to win a
19th Grand Slam singles
title.
Williams could meet former No. 1-ranked Caroline
Wozniacki in the quarterfinals and Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova in the
semifinals following
Friday's draw. The seasonopening major begins
Monday at Melbourne Park.
In the other half, secondseeded Maria Sharapova,
who plays a qualifier in the
first round, could meet
Eugenie Bouchard in the
quarterfinals and Ana
Ivanovic, whom she beat in
the Brisbane International
final last weekend, in the
semis.
Two-time champion
Victoria Azarenka, unseeded after an injury-hit 2014,
will take on American
Sloane Stephens in the first
round in a rematch of their
acrimonious semifinal two

time out and Stephens questioned her reasons for doing
so.
Stephens had beaten

Djokovic drew a qualifier
in the first round and
Federer, who recently won
his 1,000th career match
when he beat Milos Raonic
in the Brisbane
International final, will

Taiwan. Djokovic and
Raonic, who also will open
against a qualifier, are in
the same quarter of the
draw.
Federer could meet sixthseeded Andy Murray of
Britain, who plays a qualifier in the first round, in the
quarterfinals. The 17-time
Grand Slam winner also
has "Baby Fed," No. 10-seeded Grigor Dimitrov of
Bulgaria, in his quarter.
Nadal, still recovering
from appendix surgery he
underwent in November,
has a tough first-round
match against former top
10-player Mikhail Youzhny
of Russia.
"Youzhny is a tough rival
who knows how to play
good in important matches," Nadal said Friday.
"It's normal that every
match is dangerous when
you are in good shape.
Imagine when you are not
playing matches in a row,
when you have only played
four matches for the last 6-7
months. Every match is
really dangerous, anything
can happen."
Wawrinka will begin his
title defense against Marsel
Ilhan of Turkey.
"Starting the year with a
Grand Slam and finishing
with the Davis Cup, it was
an incredible 2014,"
Wawrinka said as he and Li

who retired in September,
