FROM STAFF REPORTS
‘Group listening to
music is a lost art. Coming
to the Knights of the
Turntable is the opposite of
wearing ear buds.’
Don McKee
Owner, Phoenix Books and Music
The song is “Pop Muzik” by
M. Released in 1979, it is a
bouncing precursor to the
danceable music with a synthesizer bent that would come
to dominate the 1980s. The
cover features a gigantic baby
beneath graffiti-like text.
The track was brought to
you by Don McKee, owner of
Phoenix Books and Music and
host of the monthly Knights
of the Turntable gatherings.
Held on the first Thursday
of every month, Knights of
the Turntable is a free-flowing
and open group for vinyl and
music enthusiasts.
The theme for January’s
gathering is “Guilty
Pleasures,” but often there is
no theme — just a bunch of
people standing around and
listening to music together.
That in itself is a near-dead
practice in 2015 and something McKee takes pride in
keeping alive.
“Group listening to music in
any format is a lost art.
Coming to Knights of the
Turntable is the opposite of
wearing ear buds,” he said.
Early versions of the group
were much more structured,
amounting to one person giving a lecture.
Today, the group is much
less formal. Visitors bring
three songs they like, or songs
that are relevant to the topic,
and offer a brief intro. But
occasionally, they just hit play,
McKee said.
“That said, the amount of
music knowledge in the room
is just staggering,” McKee
said.
Adam Moon is one of the
founders of the group and has
been a regular face at the
gatherings.
Tonight he brought “The
Goonies ‘R’ Good Enough,” a
single by Cyndi Lauper,
among others from his collection, which he said totals
about 6,000 albums.

SHERIDAN — The Wyoming
Senate approved a third reading amendment to the budget
bill Thursday, but similarly to
a footnote added in the 2014
legislative session, the amendment addresses the review
and implementation of the
Next Generation Science
Standards rather than the
budget itself.
The amendment to Senate
File 1 on general government
appropriations, authored by
Majority Floor Leader Sen.
Eli Bebout, R-Riverton,
instructs the Board of
Education to develop science
standards that are “unique to
Wyoming” on the heels of a
Wyoming House vote on
Tuesday to reject this very
amendment to House Bill 23.
HB23 would repeal the footnote added to the 2014 budget
bill that essentially banned
consideration of the Next
Generation Science Standards
by saying no money could be
spent on the review or consideration of NGSS or any standards related to NGSS.
Rep. John Patton, RSheridan, sponsored HB23 and
said legislating education
standards through budget
footnotes is just bad government.
“I don’t understand the reasoning behind the footnote
with the exception that it’s a
sneaky way to make policy
and I don’t think it showed
any respect for the education
board members,” Patton told
The Sheridan Press in 2014
regarding the footnote. “It’s a
very unusual practice, and
shouldn’t be a practice at all,
as a way of sneaking something into the appropriations
bill that I think is inappropriate and does not belong in
there.”

Cunningham gets deferred sentence on drug charge
BY KELLI HEITSTUMAN-TOMKO
THE SHERIDAN PRESS
SHERIDAN — A Sheridan man was given a
deferred sentence and probation for possession of marijuana with the intent to deliver
Tuesday in 4th Judicial District Court.
Austin Cunningham, 18, was approached by
police in July when his Honda Civic was
found sideways in the road on West Fifth
Street where it had run out of gas.
Cunningham told police he was trying to
push the car to the Sinclair station nearby.
While talking with Cunningham, police
noticed a strong smell of marijuana coming
from the vehicle and told Cunningham they
would need to search the car.
They found approximately two ounces of
marijuana in an orange case in a backpack in
the trunk. They also found a digital scale and
nearly $500 in cash. Cunningham claimed he
did not know the scale was in the car and told
police the money was from his job delivering
pizza.
Cunningham initially pleaded not guilty to
a charge of possession of a controlled substance with the intent to deliver.
The charge is a felony and carries a possible 10 years in prison and $10,000 in fines.
The plea was changed to guilty in conjuction
with a plea deal. At that time, Cunningham
admitted he was distributing the marijuana,
and the money in the car was from marijuana
sales.
Cunningham’s attorney Ryan Healy told the
court that his client had fallen into his problem with drugs after self-medicating to ease
medical problems. Healy said Cunningham
had completed residential treatment and was
planning to look for a job.
Judge John Fenn asked Cunningham if he
knew how fortunate he was to receive a
deferred sentence as it was rare for the prosecution to offer it and rare for a judge to
accept it.
A deferred sentence means that proceedings
will be deferred until after Cunningham has
completed the conditions agreed upon for one
to five years of probation. The court may at
any time after the expiration of a year from
the original probation discharge the charges
against Cunningham as long as he does not
violate the terms on his probation. If the
charges are discharged, the felony will not go
on Cunningham’s record.
Cunningham has no previous convictions
on his record.

STANDARDS:

moving
forward
FROM 1
After the proposal of the
amendment to the budget
bill Thursday, the debate on
the Senate Floor centered
around good science rather
than good budgeting or governing.
“Science doesn't change
once you cross the border,”
Senate President Phil
Nicholas, R-Albany, said.
“What does 'unique' mean?"
The “unique” amendment
can still be removed by the
Legislature in a budget conference committee or be
line-item vetoed by Gov.
Matt Mead.
The amendment reads,
"The state board of education may consider, discuss
or modify the Next
Generation Science
Standards, in addition to
any other standards, content or benchmarks as it
may determine necessary,
to develop quality science
standards that are unique
to Wyoming. If Next
Generation Science
Standards-2 (HB23) is enacted, subsection (b) of this
footnote is repealed."
In other education related
legislative action this week,
the full external cost adjustment being sought as part
of the funding model for
school districts has been
restored in the budget in
both houses.
Sens. Stan Cooper, RKemmerer; Paul Barnard,
R-Evanston; Leland
Christensen, R-Alta;
Bernadine Craft, D-Rock
Springs; Dan Dockstader, RAfton; and Dave Kinskey, RSheridan, sponsored a third
reading amendment to the
SF1 to mirror the House
language restoring the
ECA.
The Wyoming School
District Coalition has been
lobbying for an ECA — an
inflation-based adjustment
to the funding model that is
mandated by state law but
has not been offered since
2010. The lack of an ECA
has cost districts statewide
$151 million over three fiscal years, an amount that
will increase once last
year’s data is calculated.
Recent discussion in the
Legislature regarding the
ECA has centered on which
areas of educational costs
require an inflation adjustment and which do not. The
full restoration of the ECA
means professional labor,
materials, energy and nonprofessional labor were
each recognized as requiring adjustments.
In other business:
• The education administration-1 bill, SF10, and the
school finance-excess mill
levy rebate bill, SF20, both
passed second reading in
the House Thursday.
• The education-writing
assessment bill, HB159, and
the Hathaway scholarshipsexceptions from requirements bill, HB231ENG, both
passed out of the Senate
Education Committee
Wednesday.
• The content and performance standards bill,
HB87ENG, failed to pass out
of the Senate Education
Committee Wednesday, due
to lack of a second on the
bill.
• The school facilities bill,
SF57ENG, passed out of the
House Education
Committee Wednesday.
• The school athletic safety bill, SF98, failed to pass
out of the House Education
Committee Wednesday.
• The development of education standards bill, HB73,
passed third reading late
Wednesday in the Senate, as
amended. The House did
not concur with the Senate
version of the bill; therefore, a conference committee will be appointed.

Snowden leak: NSA helped British steal cell phone codes
WASHINGTON (AP) — Britain’s
electronic spying agency, in cooperation with the U.S. National
Security Agency, hacked into the
networks of a Dutch company to
steal codes that allow both governments to seamlessly eavesdrop
on mobile phones worldwide,
according to the documents given
to journalists by Edward
Snowden.
A story about the documents
posted Thursday on the website
The Intercept offered no details
on how the intelligence agencies
employed the eavesdropping capability — providing no evidence,
for example, that they misused it
to spy on people who weren’t
valid intelligence targets.
But the surreptitious operation
against the world’s largest manufacturer of mobile phone data
chips is bound to stoke anger
around the world. It fuels an
impression that the NSA and its
British counterpart will do whatever they deem necessary to further their surveillance prowess,
even if it means stealing information from law-abiding Western
companies.
The targeted company,
Netherlands-based Gemalto,
makes “subscriber identity modules,” or SIM cards, used in
mobile phones and credit cards.
One of the company’s three global
headquarters is in Austin, Texas.
Its clients include AT&T, TMobile, Verizon and Sprint, The
Intercept reported.
The Intercept offered no evidence of any eavesdropping
against American customers of
those providers, and company
officials told the website they had
no idea their networks had been
penetrated. Experts called it a
major compromise of mobile
phone security.
A spokeswoman for Sprint
Nextel said Thursday that her
company had no comment on the
report, while a spokeswoman for
T-Mobile said her company was
referring reporters to Gemalto
and declined further comment.
In addition to SIM cards,
Gemalto is a leading maker of
encryption systems for other business and industrial uses, including electronic payment processing
and “smart” key cards that businesses and government agencies
use to restrict access to computers or other sensitive facilities.
“Their SIM cards would be used
by most of the major telecom
operators,” said Linley Gwennap,
principal analyst at the Linley
Group, a Silicon Valley tech
research firm.
The NSA did not immediately
respond to a request for comment.
In the past, former agency officials have defended using extralegal techniques to further sur-
veillance capabilities, saying the
U.S. needs to be able to eavesdrop
on terrorists and U.S. adversaries
who communicate on the same
networks as everyone else. The
NSA, like the CIA, breaks the
espionage and hacking laws of
other countries to get information
that helps American interests.
Still, the methods in this case
may prove controversial, as did
earlier Snowden revelations that
the NSA was hacking transmissions among Google’s data centers. The Intercept reported that
British government hackers targeted Gemalto engineers around
the world much as the U.S. often
accuses Chinese government
hackers of targeting Western
companies — stealing credentials
that got the hackers into the company’s networks. Once inside, the
British spies stole encryption
keys that allow them to decode
the data that passes between
mobile phones and cell towers.
That allows them to ungarble
calls, texts or emails intercepted
out of the air.
At one point in June 2010,
Britain’s Government
Communications Headquarters,
or GCHQ, as its signals intelligence agency is known, intercepted nearly 300,000 keys for mobile
phone users in Somalia, The
Intercept reported. “Somali
providers are not on GCHQ’s list
of interest,” the document noted,
according to the Intercept.
“(H)owever, this was usefully
shared with NSA.”
Earlier in 2010, GCHQ successfully intercepted keys used by
wireless network providers in
Iran, Afghanistan, Yemen, India,
Serbia, Iceland and Tajikistan,
according to the documents provided to The Intercept. But the
agency noted trouble breaking
into Pakistan networks.

lawmakers
CHEYENNE (AP) —
Wyoming Sen. Mike Enzi
addressed lawmakers at the
State Capitol in Cheyenne on
Thursday, telling them that
Congress could learn much
about efficiency and budgeting by following their lead.
Enzi, a Republican, is a former Wyoming legislator and
mayor of Gillette. He was
recently appointed chairman
of the Senate Budget
Committee and told lawmakers that he’s the first account-
ant to hold the job.
Enzi noted that the federal
government, unlike Wyoming,
doesn’t have a requirement to
run a balanced budget.
Enzi says he commonly
applies a rule in Congress that
he learned in the Wyoming
Legislature. He says he has
found that Republicans and
Democrats generally agree on
80 percent of the issues, and
that successful legislation can
be crafted by sticking to that
common ground.
Coal companies seek help from
residents on federal rule changes
BY MIKE DUNN
THE SHERIDAN PRESS
SHERIDAN — Coal companies are turning to local residents for help in another
battle with federal rules and regulations.
Officials from Cloud Peak Energy, a
Gillette-based mining company operating
three surface mines in the Powder River
Basin, are asking for a 60-day extension of
the public comment period for a rule
change proposed by the U.S. Office of
Natural Resources Revenue, a division of
the Department of the Interior. The proposed rule change would alter the way
exported coal is valued.
The 60-day public comment period, which
began Jan 6., is slated to close March 9.
Jason Begger, Cloud Peak’s government
affairs manager, spoke to the Sheridan
County Chamber of Commerce members
Feb. 11, encouraging residents to write letters urging the Department of the Interior
to extend the public comment period.
“The fact of the matter is if this thing
goes through, it is going to completely cut
the legs out from underneath us,” Begger
said.
The intention behind the rule is to keep
coal producers from avoiding higher export
royalties by selling to brokers prior to
international shipment. Officials at the
Department of the Interior argue coal valuation regulations have not kept pace with
the market changes which have occurred in
the domestic natural gas and coal markets.
“The initial steps we are taking are part
of the larger effort to strengthen the management of coal production on public lands
by providing greater certainty and predictability to the industry and helping to
protect American taxpayers,” Deputy
Secretary of the Interior Mike Connor said
in a December 2014 press release.
Opponents say the 60-day comment period is not enough to prepare for the new
rule change.
“The complexity of this proposed rule
requires additional time to review the possible implications of the change and provide informed comments to the department
to help develop a sensible policy for federal
lessees, buyers of oil, gas and coal, taxpayers and others impacted by such a change,”
Cloud Peak Energy President and CEO
Colin Marshall said in a letter addressed to
DOI Secretary Sally Jewell.
Rick Curtsinger, media relations manager with Cloud Peak Energy, said one of the
mines that would be impacted by the rule
change is Spring Creek Mine in Decker,
Montana.
Approximately 4.7 million tons of coal
were exported through Cloud Peak’s Spring
Creek Mine according to the most recent
data available.
Cloud Peak Energy has recently agreed to
increase exports with Westshore Terminal
in British Columbia, Canada, and has two
proposed ports in Washington and Oregon
which would increase export potential as
well.
Nearly 90 percent of Spring Creek Mine’s
workforce lives in Sheridan County.

Jeb flubs big speech
eb Bush was mere seconds into his speech Wednesday
informing the world that he's his "own man," and not
his brother or his dad, when he did something reminiscent of both. He flubbed his line.
"We definitely no longer inspire fear in our enemies,"
the nominal front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination said at the start of his ballyhooed
address. "The problem is perhaps best demonstrated by
this administration's approach to Iraq."
Whoa! He's going there — right into the failure that
pretty much destroyed his brother's presidency? Bush
continued reading from his text, as if for the first time.
"We've had 35 years of experience
with Iran," he went on, then realized
his earlier mistake. "Excuse me, Iran.
Thirty-five years' experience with
Iran's rulers."
Dr. Freud would have been amused.
Bush leads in the early GOP 2016
polls because his name is Bush, but
that name could bring about his
downfall as well, because his brothDANA

MILBANK
in Iraq and economic collapse. Try
|
though he did to differentiate himself
from George H.W. Bush and George W.
Bush, John Ellis Bush's delivery gave
him away.
When he addressed the Chicago Council on Global
Affairs luncheon at the Fairmont, he combined his
father's awkward oratory with his brother's mangled
syntax and malapropisms. Like his brother, he said
"nucular" instead of "nuclear," and he hunched over
the lectern with both hands on it — but instead of
exuding folksiness, as his brother does, he oozed discomfort.
A top priority, he explained, is "reforming a broken
immigration system and turning it into an economic —
a catalytic converter for sustained economic growth."
Presumably he was reaching for "catalyst" but
instead came up with an automotive emissions-control
device.
"As we grow our presence by growing our ability to
produce oil and gas," Bush went on, "we also make it
possible to lessen the dependency that Russia now has
on top of Europe."
Russia's dependency on top of Europe? It was, in
addition to being backward, a delightful echo of his
brother's belief that it is hard "to put food on your family."
At another point, discussing NATO's aggressive
stance in the Baltics, Jeb explained that "I don't know
what the effect has been, because, you know, it's really
kind of hard to be out on the road, and I'm just a gladiator these days, so I don't follow every little detail."
Asked about the weakening of nation states in the
Middle East, he admitted: "I don't have a solution. I
mean, I — I — I've read articles, you know, about
whether the 1915 kind of breakout of the Middle East
and how that no longer is a viable deal."
Bush, eschewing teleprompter, read his speech quickly and, during the question time that followed, leaned
forward in a chair, jacket buttoned and legs spread,
swigging water with Marco Rubio's gusto.
The former Florida governor recited his foreign policy credentials, such as opening a bank office in
Venezuela. He touted a Latin American free-trade
agreement and noted that "where Columba and I live is
going to be right in the center of the universe of that
free-trade agreement."
He can see Cuba from his house!
Even the money line of his speech, that he's his own
man, received a distracting grace note when he said: "I
love my brother. I love my dad. I actually love my mother as well — hope that's OK." (It's unclear who had suggested otherwise.)
Bush mimicked some of his big brother's bravado,
using phrases such as "enemies of freedom" and "tighten the noose" and "take them out." But what brought
him closest to his kin were the random oddities in his
speech. He declared that "whoever created the terminology BRIC would have to change the name," without
explaining that BRIC referred to emerging economies

At another point he had trouble coming up with the
English name for "Plan Colombia" and explained,
"Sometimes my mind switches, and I apologize." He
propounded the curious theory that "the more tepid the
economic growth" the less likely NATO members are to
"defend themselves" militarily. He said that with
President Obama's "pivot" to Asia, "the rest of the
world wonders, am I the pivotee?"
Bush admitted that his foreign policy was still in the
training phase. "Look, the more I get into this stuff,
there are some things [where] you just go, you know,
'Holy schnikes.'"
If he keeps talking like this, Americans may say the
same of him.

Illegal immigrants,
Social Security cards
Re: Cole letter, Press, Feb. 18
Charles Cole’s letter was well-written and to the point. The punch line
was his final paragraph: What are
principled representatives in
Congress to do regarding the latest
presidential “memo” regarding the
Social Security numbers for illegal
immigrants?
Ann Coulter describes it best. “If
the Republican majority in both houses of Congress can’t stop President
Obama from issuing illegal immigrants Social Security cards and years
of back welfare payments, there is no
reason to ever vote Republican
again.”

Predators, livestock,
grazing on public land
Re: Respect mountain water
Killing predators is the saddest
aspect of grazing livestock in this
area.
The predators are noble, exquisite
creatures, unlike the over-bred livestock that is often smeared with its
own excrement polluting our water-
shed. The mountain water deserves
more respect. It is a treasure, as are
the predators.
At the top of the food chain, the
predators keep the ecological balance
of the watershed. Many of us would
rather not have livestock grazing in
the Bighorn National Forest. Grazing
on public land is a privilege, not a
right. Fenced livestock is ecologically
destructive if it is left on an area for
too long. Nine days might be a good
limit.
Predator Management District of
Sheridan County would do well with
supervision from ecologists dedicated
to sustainability.

GOP should finish what Democrats started
've been radicalized. By Harry Reid
and Barack Obama. Goodbye moderation and sweet reason. No more
clinging to constitutional and procedural restraint. It's time to go nuclear.
In the fourth quarter of his presidency, Obama unbound is abusing
presidential authority at will to
secure a legacy on everything from
environmental regulation to immigration, the laws of which he would unilaterally suspend.
Republicans find themselves on the
sidelines bleating
plaintively about
violations of the
separation of
powers. They
thought they
found an instrument of resistance in funding
for the
CHARLES
Department of
KRAUTHAMMER Homeland
Security. The
|
House has funded
the whole department except for the immigration service, which was denied the money to
implement Obama's executive
amnesty.
But Democrats have filibustered the
bill in the Senate, where it will die.
And as the night follows day,
Republicans, not the filibustering
Democrats, will be blamed for shutting down DHS and jeopardizing the
nation's safety at a time of heightened
international terrorism.
A nice cul-de-sac. But there is a way
out for the GOP. Go bold. Go nuclear.
Abolish the filibuster. Pass the bill
and send it to the president.
I know that breaks a lot of china.
But Congress is already knee-deep in
fractured porcelain. On policy, Obama
has repeatedly usurped congressional
power, most egregiously with an exec-

utive amnesty for illegal immigrants
that for four years he himself had
insisted was unlawful.
As for procedure, Reid went nuclear
in November 2013 when he abolished
the filibuster for presidential
appointees and judicial nominees
(below the Supreme Court). He did it
to pack the D.C. Circuit Court of
Appeals with liberals. The nation's
liberal chorus cheered. "Elections are
supposed to have consequences," read
one typical commentary. "It was time
to push the button." Boom.
My beef with Reid was not what he
did but how he did it. The filibuster
has grown in use and power over the
decades to the point of dysfunction.
Everything needed 60 votes. This is
relatively new and nowhere to be
found in the Constitution.
My problem was the egregious way
Reid changed the rule: by a simple
majority, 52-48, with zero Republicans
onboard (and three Democrats defecting). As I wrote at the time, "If a bare
majority can change the fundamental
rules that govern an institution, then
there are no rules."
I was not the only one to warn that
Democrats would rue the day. Once
you go nuclear, so can the other guy.
Reid went first. Time for Majority
Leader Mitch McConnell to finish the
job. Push the button. Abolish the filibuster.
Then immediately pass the House
homeland security bill and send it to
the president. He is likely to veto it,
but the politics will have been radically changed. The current storyline is:
Republican Congress won't fund DHS,
threatening to shut it down. New storyline: Obama vetoes funding for
DHS, threatening to shut it down.
The latter narrative is more accurate: Democrats are stopping the funding. Moreover, a presidential veto
would lead to a more fair allocation of
blame. And it's blame allocation that
determines which side blinks first.
The president will have a major incentive to find some face-saving finesse.
But filibuster abolition is more than
a one-shot proposition. It would radically change the next two years. It
would give Republicans full control of
the Congress and allow swift passage
of a GOP agenda.
It would also clarify the antagonists:
a lawless president vs. a willful
Congress. The GOP could be sending
bill after bill to the president's desk —
on tax reform, trade, Obamacare and,
if it has the guts, immigration.
Obama's choice? Sign, veto or negotiate a compromise. If he vetoes, then
Republicans take that issue to the
country in 2016.
What's the downside? Democrats
showed in 2013 their willingness to
trash Senate procedure for a mess of
pottage -- three judges on one court. If
Republicans stand pat now, what's to
stop Democrats from abolishing the
filibuster altogether when it suits
them in the future?
And think of the upside. A GOP
resort to the nuclear option might
make Democrats come to their senses
and negotiate a new understanding
that any fundamental change in
Senate rules — e.g., altering the filibuster — will henceforth require
some agreed to supermajority. No
more bare-majority party-line coups.
This would be ideal. But that's for
later. For now, go for the doable.
Abolish the filibuster and challenge
the president. And when asked, "How
can you do such a thing?" tell them to
ask Harry Reid.

TIPPED OVER |
Leon Kent, hero of Battle
of the Bulge, dies at 99
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Leon Kent, who
led a group of American soldiers that knocked
out five German tanks and held up the enemy
advance during the Battle of the Bulge, has died.
He was 99.
His family tells the Los Angeles Times that Kent
had pneumonia and died on Feb. 12 in Beverly
Hills.
Kent was an Army lieutenant in December 1944
when he was ordered to stop the advancing tanks
in Belgium. His battery wasn’t trained in antitank warfare and had only an anti-aircraft gun.
Nevertheless, Kent and his three soldiers
destroyed five tanks in two hours and were credited with helping prevent a major German breakthrough in Belgium, allowing retreating Allied
troops to regroup.
The four soldiers received Silver Stars, although
Kent’s wasn’t delivered until 1998 because of lost
paperwork.
Today’s Highlight in
History:
On Feb. 20, 1905, the U.S.
Supreme Court, in Jacobson v.
Massachusetts, upheld, 7-2,
compulsory vaccination laws
intended to protect the public’s health. (The case involved
a Swedish immigrant,
Henning Jacobson, who
refused to pay a $5 fine for
refusing to be vaccinated
against smallpox; the Court
upheld the right of states to
penalize individuals who
rejected vaccinations, but did
not say they could be forcibly
vaccinated.)
On this date:
In 1915, the Panama Pacific
International Exposition
opened in San Francisco (the
fair lasted until December).
In 1938, Anthony Eden
resigned as British foreign
secretary following Prime
Minister Neville
Chamberlain’s decision to
negotiate with Italian dictator
Benito Mussolini.
In 1944, during World War
II, U.S. strategic bombers
began raiding German aircraft manufacturing centers
in a series of attacks that
became known as “Big Week.”
In 1950, the U.S. Supreme
Court, in United States v.
Rabinowitz, ruled 5-3 that
authorities making a lawful
arrest did not need a warrant
to search and seize evidence
in an area that was in the
“immediate and complete control” of the suspect.
In 1962, astronaut John
Glenn became the first
American to orbit the Earth
as he flew aboard Project
Mercury’s Friendship 7 spacecraft.
In 1965, America’s Ranger 8
spacecraft crashed on the
moon, as planned, after sending back thousands of pictures of the lunar surface.
In 1971, the National
Emergency Warning Center
in Colorado erroneously
ordered U.S. radio and TV stations off the air; some stations
heeded the alert, which was
not lifted for about 40 minutes.
In 1987, a bomb left by
Unabomber Ted Kaczynski
exploded behind a computer
store in Salt Lake City, seriously injuring store owner
Gary Wright. Soviet authorities released Jewish activist
Josef Begun.
In 1998, Tara Lipinski of
the U.S. won the ladies’ figure
skating gold medal at the
Nagano Olympics; Michelle
Kwan won the silver.
In 2003, a fire sparked by
pyrotechnics broke out during
a concert by the group Great
White at The Station nightclub in West Warwick, Rhode
Island, killing 100 people and
injuring about 200 others.
Ten years ago: Israel’s
Cabinet gave final approval to
the government’s planned
withdrawal from the Gaza
Strip and four West Bank settlements. Former Presidents
George H.W. Bush and Bill
Clinton traveled to Lampuuk,
Indonesia, ground zero of
tsunami devastation, where
they promised survivors that
more help would come.
Five years ago: Alexander
Haig, a soldier and statesman
who’d held high posts in three
Republican administrations
and some of the U.S. military’s top jobs, died in
Baltimore at 85. Floods and
mudslides on the Portuguese
island of Madeira claimed
more than 40 lives.
One year ago: Protesters
advanced on police lines in
the heart of the Ukrainian
capital of Kiev, prompting
government snipers to shoot
and kill scores of people. In
Sochi, Canada beat the U.S. 3-2
in overtime to win its 4th
straight Olympic women’s
hockey gold.
Thought for Today: “The
life of the nation is secure
only while the nation is honest, truthful, and virtuous.” —
Frederick Douglass, American
abolitionist (born circa 1817,
died this date in 1895).

Heaven gained a beautiful angel on
February 17, 2015, when Kolter
Jonathan Wayde Garner went to be with
the Lord.
Kolter was born in Sheridan, WY, on
April
14, 1997, to Johnie Paterakis and
Kolter
Patrick Garner. He lived in Sheridan
Jonathan
most of his life and attended Sheridan
Wayde
schools. He played football, baseball,
Garner
and basketball. Kolter lived in Billings,
MT, for a couple of years attending
school there and working part time. In December of 2013,
Kolter graduated from the Youth Challenge Academy in
Dillon, MT, where his leadership skills were recognized
and where he received awards for being an outstanding
cadet. Kolter returned to Sheridan upon leaving the Youth
Challenge Academy and attended Sheridan High School
while living with his aunt Bobbie and uncle Van Wright.
He worked for Killy's Deli in Sheridan and formed friendships with many of his coworkers. He always had a smile
for everyone. Kolter loved being in the outdoors, especially
spending time in the Big Horn Mountains and on many
lakes and streams in Wyoming and Montana. He reported
having a blast on the beach while vacationing in Cancun,
Mexico with Van and Bobbie during the Christmas holiday.
Kolter enjoyed many hunting, fishing and camping trips
with “Papa” John Holwegner, his uncle Van, and other
friends and family members. He enjoyed spending time
with his family and friends, playing basketball and video
games, and listening to his favorite music. Kolter had a
large circle of friends and never met a stranger most of
whom have a funny story or two about the time they spent
with him. He was always there to lend a helping hand to
others by listening, and offering advice and he was a great
big brother to sisters Kaycie and Joelie. Kolter had a great
sense of humor, and liked joking around and playing
pranks with family and friends. He will be remembered for
his fun, caring, adventurous, and generous spirit.
Kolter is survived by his mother, Johnie Garner, uncle
Van and aunt Bobbie Wright, sisters, Kaycie Garner and

Thunder, Heat make big moves at trade deadline
BY BRIAN MAHONEY
AP BASKETBALL WRITER
The No. 8 seeds suddenly look like more
than first-round fodder.
Oklahoma City and Miami were two of
the biggest winners on trade deadline day,
making themselves not only strong enough
to hold off the teams behind them, but perhaps challenge the ones way ahead.
Even the powerful ones they could meet
to open the postseason.
The Heat were certainly talking big after
acquiring Goran Dragic from Phoenix.
“We are incredibly pleased to take anotherstep in getting the Miami Heat back to
real championship prominence with the
acquisition of Goran Dragic,” Heat
President Pat Riley said. “Goran is an AllNBA player, including the Most Improved
Player last season, and we felt that once he
became available, we would do all that we
could to acquire him.”
Dragic had made it clear he wasn’t planning to re-sign in Phoenix, just as Reggie
Jackson had made it known he wasn’t long
for Oklahoma City. Rather than risk losing
Jackson for nothing, the Thunder used him
as one of the pieces to fill out their roster.
He went to Detroit in a three-way trade
with Utah that brought center Enes Kanter
and forward Steve Novak from the Jazz,
along with guard D.J. Augustin, forward
Kyle Singler and a second-round pick from
the Pistons.
Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook
were already going to make the Thunder
dangerous if they qualified for the playoffs,
even for NBA-leading Golden State. The
moves they made Thursday had even one
of their doubters thinking differently
about them.
“This was a team that made themselves a
championship contender,” TNT analyst
Charles Barkley said after the Thunder
beat Dallas.
“The big winner today was Oklahoma
City. They went from a team being an 8
seed, now nobody wants to play this team.”
Barkley had long discounted the Thunder
as a team that could win a title — even
when they played the Heat in the 2012 NBA
Finals — because they didn’t have a lowpost presence on offense.

Raiders, Chargers plan
possible shared home in
the Los Angeles area
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The
Oakland Raiders and San Diego
Chargers are planning a shared
stadium in the Los Angeles area
if both teams fail to get new stadium deals in their current
hometowns, the teams said in a
joint statement, adding another
layer of complexity to a possible
NFL return to the region.
The proposed $1.7 billion stadium would be in Carson, 15 miles
south of downtown Los Angeles
and home to the Los Angeles
Galaxy soccer team.
Thursday night's statement
says the teams have tried and
failed for years to find stadium
solutions in Oakland and San
Diego, and without new agreements in those cities their hands
will be forced.
"We are pursuing this stadium
option in Carson for one
straightforward reason," the
statement says. "If we cannot
find a permanent solution in our
home markets, we have no alter-
native but to preserve other
options to guarantee the future
economic viability of our franchises."
The plan creates the odd
prospect of divisional rivals suddenly sharing a home field, and
of Los Angeles having two NFL
teams after going two decades
with none.
And it takes the muddled issue
of the NFL's return to Southern
California and makes it downright messy, with at least three
viable stadium plans in the
works.
St. Louis Rams owner Stan
Kroenke is part of a joint venture to build an 80,000-seat stadium at the site of the former
Hollywood Park horse track just
10 miles from Carson in
Inglewood.
And a plan remains alive for
an NFL facility in downtown Los
Angeles.

Lawyer: Plea deal coming in
fatal punch of soccer referee
DETROIT (AP) — A recreational soccer
player charged in the one-punch killing
of a referee during a game has agreed to
a plea deal with prosecutors in which he
would serve 8-15 years in prison, a
defense lawyer said Friday.
Cyril Hall told The Associated Press
his client Bassel Saad plans to offer a
plea of either guilty or no contest to
involuntary manslaughter during a hearing Friday in Detroit.
The prosecutor's office confirmed a
plea was expected.
Saad, 36, is charged with second-degree
murder in the death of 44-year-old John
Bieniewicz last summer. His trial had
been scheduled to begin Monday in
Wayne County Circuit Court.
The auto mechanic from Dearborn
would have faced up to life in prison if
convicted as charged.
"When you do the math, it didn't make
sense to run the risk," Hall said.
Kris Bieniewicz, the victim's wife, said
earlier this week she hoped Saad "never
sees the light of day."

Sheridan High School freshman Quinton Suska practices for the state tournament last fall at Sheridan
High School. Suska traveled to Billings for a tournament over the weekend to continue training during the
offseason.
Suska takes second place in Billings
FROM STAFF REPORTS
SHERIDAN — Six junior tennis players
traveled to Billings last weekend to compete in the Frostbite Tennis Tournament.
Quinton Suska, Quinton Brooks, Jaxon
Porterfield, Pacey Grover, Ethan Kutz and
Julia Kutz all made the trip to Billings.
While a number of Sheridan’s competitors reached the semifinals, Suska had the
best showing of the six Sheridan athletes,
making it to the finals before losing to
Whitefish’s Ryan Frampton.
Suska cruised through the first round
before needing a tiebreaker to take down
Billings’ Jaden Ostler to reach the semifinals. He took down Levi Collins of
Bozeman 6-2, 6-4 before losing 6-4, 6-2 in
the finals.
Suska is a freshman at Sheridan High
School and plays No. 1 doubles with
Tristan Gamble on the school’s tennis
team.
He spends his time in the offseason practicing at the Wesleyan Church a couple
times a week.
NON SEQUITUR
Such an outcome would let the world
"know that justice was served, and John's
life meant something," Bieniewicz said.
Her husband was killed while refereeing an over-30 men's league match at
Mies Park in Livonia.
A number of players testified in court
last year that Saad had been issued a yellow card, or an official warning, following a foul in the first half of the June 29
match, and John Bieniewicz was about to
issue him a second yellow for being verbally abusive. That's when the referee
was struck, the players said.
Players are ejected if they are given
two yellow cards in the same game.
Bieniewicz died two days later.
His widow recently testified at
Michigan's Capitol about proposed legislation she supports that would make it a
felony to assault a sports official in the
state.
Referees "are out there on an island
with no one to defend them. Something
more than a misdemeanor should be in
place," she said.

A PARDON FROM JOE
BEAN
On the album "At Folsom
Prison," Johnny Cash sings
about Joe Bean, a career
criminal headed to the gallows on his birthday for a
shooting he could not have
committed. His mamma
knew he was miles away, robbing a train, but she couldn't
get her son pardoned. Now
there's another Joe Bean in
town who might just be able
to get you pardoned from a
run-in with a deadly skin
cancer. And there's no mistakin' this Joe: It's coffee.
National Cancer Institute
researchers recently investigated the association between
coffee drinking and the risk
of developing malignant
melanoma. They looked at
447,357 cancer-free, nonHispanic whites and found
that folks who downed four
or more cups of caffeinated
coffee per day had a 20 percent lower risk for malignant
melanoma. So, for paleskinned folks anyway, coffee
intake was clearly associated
with a lowered risk of the
most lethal form of skin can-
cer. (Other studies have
shown that black coffee made
with a paper filter reduces
the risk of eight other cancers as well as diabetes,
Parkinson's disease and
Alzheimer's disease by more
than 20 percent.)
It's possible this is because
coffee contains polyphenols
and caffeine, which help keep
the cancer-fighting powers of
your immune system healthy
so your DNA is protected
from the sun's ultraviolet
rays. The researchers also
speculate that caffeine acts as
a molecular sunscreen,
absorbing UV rays, preventing sun damage from the
inside out. So if you're
cleared by your doc to consume caffeine, think of the
good Joe Bean and drink to
your health.

CURIOUS WIFE FINDS A
SURPRISE IN HUSBAND'S
MEDICAL RECORDS
DEAR ABBY: I recently
started working at the hospital where my husband
receives his primary care.
One afternoon, out of curiosity, I accessed his medical
records. In his file it was
noted that he is high risk for
STDs. In fact, he was treated
for two different ones some
years back.
I have been tested for STDs
during all my annual physicals, and the results were
always negative. I think it's
because we often go for
weeks without any sexual
contact.
What should I do with this
information? How do I talk to
him about it without letting
him know that I'm aware of
his medical history? -- CONCERNED IN MASSACHUSETTS
DEAR CONCERNED:
Unless you claim to be clairvoyant, I don't see how you
can discuss this without
admitting you accessed his
medical records, which is
against the law. Be prepared
for him to be irate, because
the best defense is a strong
offense. You are lucky your
husband hasn't given you an
STD.
By all means talk with him
about this, if only to find out
whether you have sex so
infrequently because he's
having relations with other
people. Now that you know
what has been going on, you
have some serious thinking
to do about staying in this
marriage.
DEAR ABBY: I had an abusive boyfriend who, I realized
later, had abused his wife and
children. After we broke up,
my close friend and neighbor
asked me if I'd mind if she
went out with him. I initially
said no, but after thinking
about it, I thought how could
she? She knew how he had
treated me, pushing, shoving
and isolating me from my
friends.
I had words with her about
it, and she said she wasn't
there, so she didn't know if it
really happened. What kind
of a woman wouldn't support
me?
He is over there often, and I
live right next door. I am furious with her. Do I have a
right to be? -- ALICE IN NEW
MEXICO
DEAR ALICE: Your friend
must be desperate for male
companionship, or incredibly
naive in failing to recognize
that what happened to you
(and the man's former wife)
won't also happen to her.
Please don't waste your time
being angry. You are lucky to
be rid of your abuser and
should be grateful you realized he was one before he
caused you physical harm.
DEAR ABBY: A woman I
know has a husband who is
deployed. I would like to send
her a card offering support
and love, to tell her how
thankful I am for both of
their sacrifices in the service
of our country.
Can you assist with wording and other ideas on how I
can be supportive? She lives
far away, so this will all be
long distance. I don't want to
come across wrong or say
something that could offend.
I ran across an article the
other day on what NOT to
say to military wives, and I'm
afraid I may have committed
a faux pas and don't want to
do it again. -- CIVILIAN IN
IOWA
DEAR CIVILIAN: If you
think you "may" have committed a breach of etiquette,
pick up the phone, call the
woman and offer an apology.
Explain that you read an
article about what not to say
to military wives, and hope
you didn't offend her. Offer to
stay in touch -- if that's what
she would like -- so you can
let her know she and her
husband are in your
thoughts, and let her suggest
other ways you might be
helpful even though you are
geographically distant.

RULES ARE NOT WITHOUT EXCEPTION
A.C. Benson, an English
author who was the 28th
Master of Magdalene College, Cambridge, and whose
father was the Archbishop
of Canterbury from 1882 to
1896, said, "Very often a
change of self is needed
more than a change of
scene."
In yesterday's deal, declarer needed to finesse in
clubs three times through
his right-hand opponent.
But since he had no other
dummy entry left, that required, on the first round,
leading the lowest club in
the dummy that could win
the trick.
That is a reliable rule, but
when a double finesse (two
finesses in the same suit) is
involved, a different approach might be needed. In
this deal, West starts the defense against four spades
with the club king and another club. After South ruffs
at trick two, how should he
continue?
South's jump to game is
reasonable, given the big
trump fit.
Declarer has five potential losers: two hearts,
two diamonds and one
club. He has only eight
top tricks: seven spades
and one heart. So, to
make his contract, South
needs to find East with at
least one heart honor and
the diamond ace. But that
might require leading
three times from the
dummy: to take two heart
finesses and to lead toward the diamond king.
With only two trump entries, care is required.
Declarer should cash
his spade king, lead a
spade to dummy's queen
and play a low heart to
his jack, not run the 10 or
nine.

Dear Heloise: My city provides each house with a container for trash collection
and one for recycling. Our
trash can recently went
MISSING. I looked around
but can't find it. Why would
someone steal a trash can? -Nicole in San Antonio
It's a pretty sad day if
someone steals a large trash
can! Check with your neighbors to make sure someone
didn't accidentally take
your can by mistake. They
all are green and look alike
here in San Antonio, and
someone might have
grabbed it by mistake. You
should call the company (or
city agency) that provides
the service for information
about a replacement and to
report that "one got away."
Here in San Antonio, that
number is 311 to connect
with almost every city
agency. Some companies
will replace the trash can at
no charge, but if this continues, they most likely will
charge you, and those cans
are not cheap!
Most trash containers
have an identification number on them somewhere, so
take note.

on the gossip while staying
within the budget. It may be
necessary to adopt a dignified manner when mixing
with groups.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.
21): Stick to the sidelines.
Thrill seekers might encourage you to participate
in something that's not wellthought out, or something
that might sidetrack you.
Keep working on your own
plan.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): You can't be too
thin or too rich; likewise,
you can't be too organized
or careful under these stars.
You can escape criticism if
you buckle down to getting
things accomplished.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): Be caring without being
critical. You may need to
walk a fine line between
being practical and remaining independent. It may be
difficult to resist change
without being considered
stubborn.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18): The real test of character is not worldly conquest,
but the courage with which
you respond to hardship.
Keep your money in your
pocket and your thoughts to
yourself for the next few
days.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20): Some things are beyond
understanding or can be understood but difficult to express. Someone might be
vague or challenging to pin
down. Remain observant to
comprehend what lies beneath the surface.
IF FEBRUARY 21 IS
YOUR BIRTHDAY: You
might be feeling extremely
sociable during the next
three to four weeks. You
may be tempted to avoid
your obligations or distracted by an illusionary
carrot at the end of a stick.
Work hard, delay making
major changes and decisions, and pay attention to
the rules and regulations
until the end of May. Be
sure to ask for sound advice
from trusted friends or companions because it's easy
for you to mistake something of dubious value as
the real thing. The best time
to make a business or jobrelated decision is in late
July, when your business
sense is in top form, or in
August when your judgment and luck are at a peak.

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.

MLB makes small pace of game changes,
passes on bigger steps for now
NEW YORK (AP) — Major League
Baseball is making some changes designed
to speed games but won't implement more
radical proposals this year.
The league and the players' union
announced an agreement Friday to enforce
the rule requiring a hitter to keep at least
one foot in the batter's box in most cases.
MLB also will post stadium clocks timing
pitching changes and between-inning
breaks.
MLB did not institute many of the ideas
experimented with during the Arizona Fall
League, such as a 20-second clock between
pitches, a limitation of pitcher's mound
conferences involving catchers and managers, and no-pitch intentional walks. The
pitch clock will be used in the minor
leagues at Double-A and Triple-A.
Penalties for violating the new rules start
May 1 and will involve only fines, and MLB
said it is likely to announce only fines
involving repeat flagrant violators.
In the AFL, strikes and balls were called
as penalties.
"I think it's something that's going to take
some time," San Diego Padres catcher
Derek Norris said. "You've got guys playing
for seven, eight years that have always
stepped out of the box and taken a practice
swing."
MLB cannot make unilateral changes to
playing rules without the union's consent
unless it gives one year prior notice, so an
agreement was necessary for any 2015
alterations. The World Umpires
Association also approved.
"The players believe that enforcing the
rules that currently exist regarding
between-inning breaks and plate appearances is the best way to address the issue of
pace of play," union head Tony Clark said
in a statement. "We're confident that
today's announcements will have a positive
impact on the pace of the game without
jeopardizing the integrity of the competition."
The average time of nine-inning games
was a record 3 hours, 2 minutes last year,
up from 2:33 in 1981.
"These changes represent a step forward
in our efforts to streamline the pace of
play," said Rob Manfred, who took over
from Bud Selig as commissioner last
month. "The most fundamental starting
point for improving the pace of the average
game involves getting into and out of
breaks seamlessly."
The rule requiring hitter's keep a foot in
the box contains many exceptions, including swinging at a pitch, getting forced out
by a pitch, calling time, faking a bunt and
wild pitches and passed balls.
The clocks will be installed on or near
outfield scoreboards and on facades behind
home plate, near most press boxes. Inning
breaks will be counted down from 2:25 for
locally televised games and 2:45 for nationally televised games. Pitchers must throw
their last warmup pitches before 30 seconds remaining, with exceptions if the
pitcher or catcher is on base when the previous half-inning ends.
MLB will make a donation to the union's
charitable foundation based on compliance
with the new rules. The sides also
announced changes for the second season
of expanded video review by umpires.
Managers no longer will have to leave
their dugouts to call for replays, unless the
play in question ends an inning and the
defensive team must be kept on the field. In
addition, plays involving whether a runner
left a base early or touched a base on a tagup play will be subject to video review for
the first time.
