Standards
require new
curriculum,
expenses
BY ALISA BRANTZ
THE SHERIDAN PRESS
SHERIDAN — Following the state
Board of Education’s adaptation of
the Wyoming Content and
Performance Standards — new
standards in math and English language arts originally presented as
the Common Core State Standards
— in 2012, Wyoming school districts
began the process of updating and
aligning their curriculum.
Standards are statements of
expectation; they define the minimum knowledge students are
expected to have upon the completion of each level of education. The
curriculum includes the many
resources used by a teacher to
deliver desired content including
activities, lessons, units, textbooks
and sometimes assessments.
Though the standards are set at a
statewide level, Wyoming prohibits
the adoption of statewide curriculum and leaves the development of
instructional resources under local
control.
As such, when the rigor of the
expectations was raised, the lessons and resources to meet those
standards required reworking at a
local level.
In Sheridan County School
District 2, the larger staffing numbers allow for this process to be
managed in-house utilizing the

groups already in place.
PLCs are groups of educators,
often from similar content areas or
grade levels, committed to working
collaboratively in ongoing processes of collective inquiry and action
research to achieve better results
for the students they serve.
While the PLCs meet regularly to
discuss daily improvement of class
instruction, during periods of curriculum development they also
meet to discuss the implementation
of new books and materials as well
as how to organize those resources
into units and lessons.

House shoots down
anti-discrimination bill
CHEYENNE. (AP) — A bill to prohibit
discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity died Tuesday
in the Wyoming House of
Representatives.
The House voted 33-to-26 against the
bill, which already had cleared the
Wyoming Senate.
Supporters have included Wyoming
business groups, which have said enacting an anti-discrimination law would help
the state recruit new corporations and
help existing businesses attract good
employees.
Opponents included several church
groups, including the Roman Catholic
Diocese of Cheyenne. They maintained
that the bill would crimp the right of people to make decisions about hiring and
also infringe on freedom of speech.
Rep. Ruth Ann Petroff, R-Jackson, introduced the bill and emphasized it wouldn’t
provide any cover for unqualified workers.
“This does not in any way diminish our
strong right-to-work laws in this state,”
Petroff said. “The bill simply says that we
are fair, we are fair people and that we
judge people based on their performance
and their actions.”
House Speaker Rep. Kermit Brown, RLaramie, spoke in favor of the bill, saying
sexual orientation is not a matter of
choice.
“Some people are hardwired differently,
I don’t know why. But they’re here,
they’re among us,” Brown said. “They’re
our friends. We all know somebody, a
friend, an acquaintance, a business associate.”
Brown said the issue comes down to
whether an employee can do the job. “And
if they can do the job, then what possible
justification can there be for saying to
them, ‘You know, I’m going to let you go
because you have certain characteristics
that I don’t approve of.’”
‘This bill is not needed, it aims to
fix problems that don’t exist. I ask you
to defeat this bill.’
Rep. Mark Jennings
R-Sheridan
Rep. Mark Jennings, R-Sheridan, said
the bill was being promoted as a way to
improve Wyoming’s image. However, he
said the state should have no concerns
along those lines.
“This bill is not needed, it aims to fix
problems that don’t exist,” Jennings said.
“I ask you to defeat this bill.”
Rep. Nathan Winters, R-Thermopolis,
said the problem with the anti-discrimination bill is that it removes all discretion
from individuals as to how they choose to
exercise their freedom of conscience.
“And it enshrines forever in law something that is detrimental to the First
Amendment,” he said.
Speaking after the vote, Rep. James
Byrd, D-Cheyenne, said the bill’s defeat
sends the wrong message about Wyoming.
“It just reaffirms the opinion and
impression of the rest of the country that
we do not like people of alternative sexual orientation — gays,” Byrd said.
Calling for
cooperation,
Obama
engages in
confrontation
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Amid appeals for bipartisanship, President Barack Obama
in just three days has provoked Republicans on issues
as disparate as immigration,
Wall Street and the Keystone
XL pipeline — a combative
mix of defense and offense
that underscores a political
realignment.
Sensing a Republican
retreat, Obama is headlining a
Miami town hall on
Wednesday, enlisting his
Latino base of support to increase
pressure on GOP
lawmakers who
want to tie spending on the
Homeland Security
Obama
Department to
repeal of his immigration executive actions.
On Tuesday, he vetoed GOP
legislation that would have
forced construction of the
Keystone XL oil pipeline. And
on Monday he proposed
tougher rules on financial brokers who help manage retirement accounts, over Wall
Street objections.
Three days, three hardball
plays. Such aggressive
activism delights his supporters but irritates the
Republicans who now control
both chambers of Congress.
It’s not as if Republicans
didn’t see it coming. But it
unfolds as Obama insists he is
willing to find common
ground with GOP leaders on
such issues as trade and fixes
to the criminal justice system.
Indeed, Obama on Tuesday
summoned a bipartisan group
of lawmakers to the White
House for a private meeting
on how to address modernizing juvenile justice, sentencing and incarceration policies.
And on Thursday, Obama
planned to draw attention to
the economic benefits of trade
and exports in a series of
interviews at the White
House.

Mercantile meant to ‘spruce up’ Ranchester
BY TRAVIS PEARSON
THE SHERIDAN PRESS
RANCHESTER — Ranchester
leadership has worked for years
toward attracting businesses and
shoppers to its downtown as part
of a long-term revitalization program.
If all goes according to plan,
Main Street Mercantile will bring
both.
“It’s on the east end of town, so
it acts as an entryway project,”
Mayor Peter Clark said. “We’re
hoping it’ll maybe stop people as
they go through town on the way
to the mountains and Yellowstone
National Park.”
Slated for construction this
spring, the mercantile will offer
businesses the opportunity at one
of three retail spaces within a
6,300-square-foot building at the
corner of Main Street and U.S.
Highway 14 across the street from
the information center.
The plans also include a 6,000square-foot outdoor farmers market space with a canopy covering
and a 15,000-square-foot parking
lot with 35 spaces.
Upon completion of the project,
the town will own the structure
and lease it to interested parties.
While Ranchester has received
Scan with your
smartphone for
latest weather,
news and sports
letters of interest from various
companies, it has not yet entered
into any contracts. Town representatives do not expect to finalize
deals until project completion.
The building will include two
1,738-square-foot spaces and one
2,087-square-foot area.
Ace Builders continues to work
on establishing bonding in the
town. Representatives with
Ranchester and the construction
company are scheduled to meet in
the next week or two, the mayor
said, to discuss expectations and
finalize plans.

Testimony begins in felony fraud trial
SHERIDAN — Testimony
in the Miranda Mraz trial
being held in 4th Judicial
District Court Tuesday
focused on employees of the
Firewater Grill, amid issues
with jury members and witnesses.
Before the jury was
brought into the courtroom,
the judge was informed that
a jury member had spoken
to the bailiff Monday after
court had recessed for the
day. The juror suggested
that he/she already had an
opinion about whether
Mraz was innocent despite
hearing only 15 minutes of
testimony. Prosecutor
Christopher LaRosa said he
felt the juror should perhaps be addressed on the
matter while defense attorney Chris Wages said the
juror should be stricken.
Judge John Fenn opted to
keep the juror, saying there
had not been a patent
expression of opinion, but
he did remind the jury of
its duty to remain
impartial
when they
returned to
the courtroom.
LaRosa called Officer Dan
Keller of the Sheridan
Police Department to testify
Tuesday. Keller said he had
been in the Firewater Grill
Feb. 19, 2014, for an alcohol
compliance stop when Rob
Green, who manages several of his brother’s businesses including the Firewater
Grill, mentioned a possible
problem with an employee.
Keller told the court that he
advised Green to file a
report with the police.
Keller said he checked
two days later to see if
Green’s complaint had been
filed and that it had not.
When Keller later spoke to
general manager Rob
Romeo, he turned every-
thing over to then Det. Sgt.
Travis Koltiska.
Green was then called to
the stand. Green told the
court he manages his brother’s company Greenland
Hospitalities in Sheridan,
and that part of that business is the Trail’s End Hotel
and the Firewater Grill. He
said that Mraz was a good
worker who advanced
quickly from housekeeper
to manager by Dec. 19, 2013.
Green said Romeo had
brought some customer
complaints to his attention,
and that he told Romeo to
quietly conduct an in-house
investigation. That investigation, Green said, turned
up two employees of concern. He said Mraz had several receipts that looked
like they’d been altered and
the other employee had one.
Green said the other
employee confessed to what
he’d done and was made to
pay the ticket. Green told
the court that the employee
still works at the Firewater
Grill.
He said that when he
talked to Mraz, she became
hysterical and denied stealing and told him “the whole
city was out to frame me.”
Green said he did not fire
her at that time but had
Romeo continue the
investigation.
After a few more
weeks, Green said
the investigation
turned up more
questionable
transactions and
he made the
decision to fire
Mraz. He said
she again
became hysterical and asked
him, “How do
we get out of this?” He said
he told her “there is no we”
and that he was firing her
and reporting the situation.
Green said at that point,
Mraz stopped crying,
became “very cold” and
walked out of the office.
On cross examination,
Robinson questioned
Green’s credibility and
asked how his brother
trusted him to run the business in light of Green’s convictions in 2007 and 2010 for
mail fraud and check fraud.
“My problem is not with
managing people,” Green
told Robinson. “My problem
is with writing checks.”
Robinson also questioned
Green’s management skills.
During a short break,
Green spoke briefly to
Romeo who was waiting his
turn to testify. Green apologized and told the court he
didn’t realize he’d done anything wrong. Fenn admonished counsel to make sure
their witnesses understood
sequestration. The court
determined the statement
made to Romeo did not warrant a mistrial, and the trial
moved forward.
‘My problem is not with
managing people. My
problem is with writing
checks.’
Rob Green
Firewater Grill business manager
Stormy Redman, the
restaurant manager at the
time of Mraz’s employment
at Firewater Grill, was the
state’s final witness of the
day. Her testimony primarily described the workings of
the point-of-sale system
used by the restaurant and
how the cash tickets were
recorded as opposed to how
the credit and debit card
tickets were recorded.
During cross examination, Robinson asked about
a link to a Sheridan Press
news article concerning the
trial Redman had shared on
Facebook during the lunch
recess and demanded to
know if other witnesses in
the hallway were also
accessing Facebook. The
court adjourned for the day
before addressing the situation.
The Mraz trial is expected
to last through the rest of
the week.

Giuliani versus Obama
T
Against that background of strife and dangers on
the world stage, it may seem as if Barack Obama's
feelings, or Rudolph Giuliani's opinion about those
feelings, should not matter so much, especially when
it is hard to know with certainty how anyone feels.
Yet when someone is the leader of a great nation at a
historic juncture, it is more than idle curiosity to
know what drives him.
It is not clear what the basis was
for so much outrage at Mayor
Giuliani's opinion about President
Obama. Was it that what Giuliani
said was demonstrably false? Was
it that Barack Obama is supposed
to be considered innocent until
proven guilty?
Anyone who simply looks at the
THOMAS
factual evidence as to whether
SOWELL
Obama loves America, or does not,
|
will find remarkably little to suggest love and a large amount of evidence, over a long period of years,
showing his constant close association with people
fiercely hostile to this country. Jeremiah Wright was
just one in a long series of such people.
Barack Obama's campaign promise to "fundamentally change the United States of America" hardly
suggests love. Nor did his international speaking
tour in 2009, telling foreign audiences that America
was to blame for problems on the world stage.
President Obama's record in the White House has
been more of the same. Among his earliest acts were
offending our oldest and closest allies, Britain and
Israel, and betraying the country's previous commitments to provide anti-missile defenses to Poland and
the Czech Republic.
Obama's refusal to let Ukraine have weapons with
which to defend itself from Russian invasion was
consistent with this pattern, and consistent with his
whispered statement — picked up by a microphone
that was still on — to tell "Vladimir" that, after the
2012 election was over, he would be able to "have
more 'flexibility.'"
Conceivably, these might all have been simply blunders. But such a string of blunders would require
someone very stupid, and Barack Obama is by no
means stupid. The net effect is that in Europe, the
Middle East and Asia, America's allies and America's
interests face far more setbacks and dangers today
than when Obama took office.
His policies have been publicly criticized by two of
his own former Secretaries of Defense, by two
retired four-star generals who served during his
administration, and a retired four-star admiral who
also served in the Middle East during the Obama
administration has called his policies "antiAmerican."
Some people who are denouncing former mayor
Rudolph Giuliani seem to be saying that it is just not
right to accuse a President of the United States of
being unpatriotic. But when Barack Obama was a
Senator, that is precisely what he said about
President George W. Bush. Where was the outrage
then?
If all else fails, critics of Mayor Giuliani can say
that a man is entitled to be considered "innocent
until proven guilty." But that principle applies in a
court of law. Outside a court of law, there is no reason to presume anyone innocent until proven guilty.
It is especially dangerous to presume a President of
the United States — any president — innocent until
proven guilty.
Whoever is president has the lives of hundreds of
millions of Americans, and the fate of a nation, in
his hands. It is those millions of people and that
nation who deserve the benefit of the doubt. We need
to err on the side of safety for the people and the
country. Squeamish politeness to an individual cannot outweigh that.
We need to keep that in mind for the next president, and for all future presidents. We might have
been better off if the question of Obama's patriotism
had been raised before he was first elected. Never
should we ignore so many red flag warnings again.
There is little that can be done about President
Obama now, no matter what he does. Impeachment,
even if it succeeded, would mean Joe Biden as president and riots across the country. It is hard to know
which would be worse.

Democrats, revenge is a dish best

plained that the Republican
minority had tied the chamber in
knots. But now, just weeks into their
stint in the minority, Democrats are
brazenly using the same knot-tying
procedures.
Four times, they used filibusters to
block the majority from bringing up a
Department of Homeland Security
funding bill that would undo
President Obama’s
executive orders on
immigration. And

gleefully on Tuesday,
confident that if
parts of the Homeland Security
department shut down in the coming
days Republicans will be to blame.
And so Reid (Nev.) led about 30
Senate Democrats and a couple of
uniformed firefighter chiefs into a
basement room in the Capitol complex Tuesday afternoon for a pep rally
daring Republicans to let funding run
out for DHS and essentially declaring
the GOP majority soft on terrorism.
“With terrorists threatening to attack
America, we must fund Homeland
Security and fund it now,” said Reid,
who, wearing Wayfarer sunglasses
and sporting ghastly facial bruises
because of a recent accident, seemed
downright scary as he invoked terrorist beheadings.
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) asked

he firestorm of denunciation of former New York
mayor Rudolph Giuliani, for having said that he
did not think Barack Obama loved America, is in
one sense out of all proportion to that remark —
especially at a time when there are much bigger issues,
including wars raging, terrorist atrocities and a nuclear
Iran on the horizon.

to prioritize national security?”
And Sen. Amy Klobuchar of
Minnesota, where the Mall of
America is the target of a new terrorist threat by the Somali group alShabab, told Republicans “to get these
firefighters funded, to fund our security and not to send a message to alShabab that we’re just going to shut
down Homeland Security.”
All of this must make McConnell
wonder why he wanted so much to
become majority leader. The
Kentucky Republican is making a
good-faith effort to keep his promise
not to have a shutdown. But he is finding out that the Senate is just as
ungovernable under his Republican
control as it was under the previous
management.
For his troubles, McConnell is the
target of carping by conservatives
and is so far receiving no assistance
from House Speaker John Boehner (ROhio). He’s also an easy mark for mischief-making Democrats, who are now
enjoying the advantage Republicans
did for years: It’s easier to stop things
from happening than to make them
happen.
On the Senate floor Tuesday morning, McConnell described his proposed surrender. “My preference
remains with the legislation that’s
already passed the House,” he said,
referring to the plan to make homeland-security funding conditional on
the demise of Obama’s immigration
orders. But “I’m ready to try another
way. I hope our friends across the
aisle will demonstrate similar flexibility.”
In a news conference in the afternoon, he further unfurled the white
flag. “I’ve indicated to the Democratic
leader that I’d be happy to have his
cooperation to advance the consideration of a clean DHS bill which would
carry us through to September 30th,”
he said. Even before a vote on the
now-decoupled proposal to eliminate
Obama’s immigration plan? “I would
be happy to do that,” McConnell said,
asking for “cooperation from the
Democrats in going forward to pass
what they have said for two months
they wanted to pass.”
His problem is Democrats don’t have
a lot of incentive to take yes for an
answer just yet. McConnell’s decision
to split the immigration legislation
from the funding has fired up conservatives such as Rep. Steve King (RIowa), who tweeted that Obama would
simply veto the immigration piece,
asking, “Think we were born yesterday?” Some House conservatives have
even urged McConnell to abolish the
filibuster in order to pass legislation
tying the immigration proposals to
DHS funding — an incendiary but
pointless gesture because Obama
would veto the bill even if it passed.
If and when Democrats finally do
accept the terms of McConnell’s surrender, the conservatives’ wrath will
turn against Boehner, who will have
little choice but to go along with the
concession or to be blamed for the
shutdown.
Democrats on Tuesday acted as if
they would rather enjoy the political
benefits a shutdown would bring
them. “It appears to me that the ideologues are still running the
Republican Party,” Reid taunted, listing various conservative voices that
have warned against a shutdown.
“The burden is on the Republicans.
What they’re doing is wrong for the
country. And they not only will be
blamed, they should be blamed.”
Power without responsibility: Such
are the perverse pleasures of being in
the minority in today’s Washington.

TEDxBroadway urges theater professionals to be bold
NEW YORK (AP) — A conference on how to make the
Broadway experience better for audiences and performers
alike has come up with some prescriptions — be open,
inclusive but, above all, be true.
“There’s great value for telling the truth in art,” said
Benjamin Scheuer, who wrote and stars in his autobiographical solo show “The Lion.” A cancer survivor, he
gave perhaps the most heart-felt endorsement of honesty
in theater: “Tell the truth in art about bad things. You’ll be
doing something good.”
The fourth TEDxBroadway conference on Monday
brought together 19 speakers — producers, marketers,
entrepreneurs, academics and artists — to try to answer
the question: “What is the best Broadway can be?”
TEDx events are independently organized but inspired
by the nonprofit group TED — standing for Technology,
Entertainment, Design — that started in 1984 as a conference dedicated to “ideas worth spreading.” Video of the
Broadway event will be made available to the public.
The conference, held in the off-Broadway complex New
World Stages, included speakers with no theater experience but with interesting insights on the human experi-
ence, including atmospheric scientist Adam Sobel and cognitive psychologist Laurie Santos.
One speaker was Leslie Koch, who has helped turn onceempty Governors Island into a popular 150-acre space for
festivals and art by being inviting and accommodating.
“What I’ve learned from working on an island in the
middle of the harbor for several years is be truly open,
improvise, be radically welcoming,” she said.
Kirsten Sabia, vice president of marketing services for
the PGA Tour, explained how she grew her niche sport:
allow cellphones on the course, serve alcohol, increase
public access to the golfers, have better food and throw
concerts.
“We strive to provide the ideal setting, the ideal talent
and allow the fans to have the experience for themselves,”
she said.
Set designer Kacie Hultgren showed what the future
might look like with 3-D printing, which she uses to make
miniature models of the designs that will later be on
Broadway. She said printing costs have come down and the
flexibility of design sharing makes the work collaborative
and exciting.

Longtime Coke executive Donald
Keough dies at 88
NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Keough, who steered
Coca-Cola through the “cola wars” of the 1980s,
died Tuesday in Atlanta, the company said. He
was 88.
Keough served as the company’s president and
chief operating officer from 1981 to 1993. He is
credited with building Coca-Cola into a more global company.
During his tenure, Coca-Cola introduced “New
Coke” as it was fighting off efforts by PepsiCo to
take market share. Coke fans protested. A song
called “Coke was It,” mocking the company’s
“Coke Is It” slogan, was popular on radio stations,
according to the book “Secret Formula” by
Frederick Allen.
Coca-Cola dumped New Coke, bringing back the
old formula as “Coca-Cola Classic.”
During a press conference at the time, Keough
focused on the upside of the company’s error, noting that the response showed the “passion” people
have for Coca-Cola.
“Some critics will say Coca-Cola made a marketing mistake. Some cynics will say that we planned
the whole thing. The truth is we are not that dumb
and not that smart,” Keough said, according to
“Secret Formula.”
In a memo posted online Thursday, Coca-Cola
CEO Muhtar Kent said Keough “brought a steady
hand to the wheel in challenging times,
unmatched operating skill that strengthened and
expanded the Coca-Cola system and an expansive
vision that helped make Coca-Cola a truly international brand.”

COOPERATION : Obama seeks new legislation on trade
FROM 1
“Let’s try to focus on some of the
things that we have in common and
deliver real results,” he told governors
of both parties who attended a White
House luncheon Monday.
But can the confrontational Obama
exist alongside Obama the accommodator?
Among those attending the criminal
justice session at the White House on
Tuesday were Republicans who have
been among the most high-profile critics of Obama on other issues, such as
Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, a potential presidential candidate, Sen. Mike
Lee of Utah and Reps. Jason Chaffetz
of Utah and Trey Gowdy of South
Carolina.
On trade, Obama is seeking legislation that will give him the authority to
negotiate international trade deals
that Congress can only approve or
reject but not amend. A majority of
Democrats oppose such “fast track”
authority, which means Obama must
rely on mostly Republican votes to get
his way.
“I think we’re in synch with the
administration,” said Republican
House Ways and Means Committee
Chairman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin,
who is leading the pro-trade drive in
the House.
Such efforts at bipartisanship occur
against a steady effort by Republicans
to undo or roll back Obama actions on
immigration, health care and financial regulation.
Obama has promised to use his veto
to reject those, as he did the Keystone
bill.
“He’s looking at this as showing he
still can be king of the hill, because
we don’t have the votes to override,”
Republican Sen. Jim Inhofe of
Oklahoma, a vocal opponent of
Obama’s climate change agenda, said
after the Keystone veto. “If he vetoed
this, he’s going to veto many others
that are out there.”
So far, both sides have demonstrated
an ability to place confrontation on
one track and cooperation on another.
“The bluster over the veto-bait bills
that Republicans are trying to pass is
mostly fake — everyone knows that he
can’t sign them,” said Matt Bennett of
the centrist Democratic group Third
Way. “So when it comes time for the
trade bills, on which most
Republicans, many Democrats and the
White House are all aligned, there
won’t really be any hangover from
these battles.”
Of the current fights with Congress,
the one over immigration is the most
bitter.
Conservative Republicans maintain
that Obama exceeded his constitutional authority when he took steps to
shield more than 4 million immigrants from deportation and make
them eligible for work permits. But
GOP attempts to tie repeal of those
actions to legislation that funds the
Homeland Security Department have
stalled in the face of procedural obstacles from Democrats.

Allegiant Air to offer year-round Casper-Las Vegas flights
CASPER (AP) — Allegiant Air will continue service between Casper and Las
Vegas through the summer this year
because of increasing demand.
The Casper Star-Tribune reports the airline usually stops flights between the cities

Considered wealthy? Sometimes it is a matter of perspective
n a recent column, I was discussing our
household’s budget and mentioned that I
do not consider our family “wealthy.”
Several readers wrote to correct me and
encourage me to consider a different appreciation of that term.
“Dear Jill,
I am not the type to write in response to
articles, but your statement that you don’t consider yourself wealthy
struck a chord with me.
Although I understand
that you might feel like
you could always use
more money, you — like
me — are wealthy. I am
sure that your family
JILL
household income is in
the top 5-20 percent of
CATALDO
incomes for the U.S. That
|
is wealthier than over 99
percent of the world.
Whether you feel it or not, you are
wealthy.
Bree U.”
“Dear Jill,
Being ‘average’ or ‘middle-class’ in the
United States is ‘wealthy’ elsewhere in the
world. We are not living in huts made from
plants and washing our clothes in a
stream. We aren’t hunting and gathering
our meals. You, Jill, are wealthy. And so am
I.
Eric D.”
A 2013 Forbes article compared quality of
life and economic advantages in the United
States to other countries using a variety of
economic and quality-of-life studies. The
study noted that being in the bottom 10 percent of the financially poor population in
the United States meant that you had a
standard of living comparable to the “normal” populations of Finland and Denmark.
Taking it a step further, Americans living
in the poorest 5 percent income bracket are
still richer than 68 percent of people in the
rest of the world.
The 2013 United States Census also noted
that even for the poorest Americans, dayto-day life is pretty good. A family of four
living on less than $23,550 would be considered to be living below the poverty line.
That’s definitely a tight budget for any family.
However, more than 80 percent of households living below the poverty line have
cell phones. More than 96 percent of them
have a television and more than 58 percent
have a home computer. More than 65 percent of these households own a washer and
dryer.
We may not consider our home appliances to be “luxuries,” but again, compared to the living standards of the rest of
the world, they certainly are. More than 96
percent of households below the poverty
line in the U.S. have a refrigerator and a
stove. More than 93 percent own a
microwave. More than 83 percent have air
conditioning.
The Heritage Foundation notes that if
“living in poverty” meant lacking in food,
adequate housing and clothing, “relatively
few” Americans would be considered to be
living at this level. A typical “poor”
American has a larger living space in the
home than most “normal” Europeans do.
Their report also notes that the average
person who is statistically poor lives in a
three-bedroom residence with one-and-ahalf bathrooms and a garage.
The Heritage Foundation’s study also
explains that while poor families “certainly struggle to make ends meet,” in most
cases they are struggling to pay home bills
and buy groceries.
While this week’s column is not directly
coupon-related, I hope that it has given you
a renewed appreciation for the lifestyle
that most of us enjoy. We have faucets in
our homes that provide clean and safe
drinking water whenever we need it. We
are able to easily and quickly cook food at
home. We’re able to store food and keep it
fresh in our homes. We’re not washing all
of our clothing by hand. We have the ability to keep our homes warm in the winter
and cool in the summer.
Each night at bedtime, my children share
what they are thankful for that day. My
youngest son always has a humorous element to his “thankfuls” – “Today I am
thankful for dogs, snow, and … spaghetti!”
My oldest son is 10, and he’s such a
thoughtful, reverent young man. Not a
night goes by in which he does not say he
is thankful for our home. As houses go,
ours might be considered “average” or
unremarkable – there are hundreds of onelevel ranches like it in our town. To him, it
is our castle.
I am grateful. And yes, I am wealthy.

Chicago’s
painful night:
Rose, Kane out
with injuries
SPORTS
www.thesheridanpress.com
CHICAGO (AP) — First, Blackhawks star Patrick
Kane went crashing into the boards. Then the Bulls
announced Derrick Rose was headed for another
knee surgery.
And just like that, Chicago’s cold winter had taken
another chilly turn.
The Windy City lost two of its biggest sports stars
Tuesday night when Kane left the Blackhawks’ 3-2
shootout victory over Florida with an upper-body
injury, and the Bulls said Rose had a medial meniscus tear in his right knee. It was a pair of crunching
blows in a matter of minutes for two of the city’s
most successful teams in recent years.
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2015
“You can’t replace Kaner. He’s a special talent,
somebody who’s really irreplaceable,” Blackhawks
forward Kris Versteeg said. “It’s going to have to be
by committee. Guys are going to have to step up and
find ways to get the job done.”
That likely will be the same message in the coming
days for the Bulls, who have plenty of experience
when it comes to playing without Rose. The 2011 NBA
MVP appeared in only 10 games last season before he
had surgery for the same injury in November 2013,
shelving him the rest of the way.
The Bulls said a timetable for his return this time
will be determined after the operation.

Busch crash
leading to
additional
barriers
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) —
International Speedway
Corp. is developing a plan
for the installation of additional SAFER barriers at
Daytona and Talladega, and
will review the safety standards at its other racetracks.
The renewed focus
announced Tuesday by ISC
President John Saunders
comes three days after
NASCAR star Kyle Busch
broke his right leg and left
foot in a crash into a concrete wall at Daytona
International Speedway.
Busch left a Daytona
Beach, Florida, hospital on
Tuesday and was transferred to another facility in
North Carolina for further
treatment.
Busch was injured
Saturday in the seasonopening Xfinity Series race
when his car hit an interior
wall that did not have a

Reduction barrier.
After his accident,
Daytona president Joie
Chitwood III vowed to cover
every inch of the speedway

18 months in prison for chemist in steroids case
MIAMI (AP) — A chemist working out of his suburban South Florida garage was sentenced
Wednesday to 18 months in prison for supplying
banned performance-enhancing substances to a
clinic whose customers included professional baseball players such as New York Yankees star Alex
Rodriguez.
Paulo Berejuk had hoped for probation and home
confinement after pleading guilty in December to
conspiracy to distribute testosterone. But U.S.
District Judge Cecilia M. Altonaga agreed with
prosecutors that Berejuk’s role in the case was too
vital and his cooperation with investigators too
limited to warrant such a sentencing break.
“I cannot in good faith sentence Mr. Berejuk to
probation,” Altonaga said at a hearing. “This
involved a serious crime. I have to consider deterrence to others.”
Investigators said Berejuk was the key drug

source for Anthony Bosch, who ran the now-closed
Biogenesis of America clinic in Coral Gables that
sold steroids to baseball players and other athletes,
some only in high school. Berejuk admitted in
court documents that between 2007 and 2013 he supplied up to 10,000 units of steroids to Bosch and
others for as much as $20,000 a month.
“This defendant is one of the most important people in the conspiracy,” said Assistant U.S. Attorney
Sharad Motiani.
The doping scandal resulted in suspensions last
year for 14 professional baseball players and criminal convictions for Bosch and others. Rodriguez,
who got the stiffest Major League Baseball suspension at a full season, recently apologized to Yankee
fans in a written statement and previously admitted in interviews with U.S. Drug Enforcement
Administration agents that he used Bosch-supplied
steroids.
Long live the
court storm
A
fter Kansas State
defeated Kansas on
Monday, the mass of
Kansas State students
in the bleachers left their
seats and made their way to
the court at Bramlage
Coliseum. It was a party, a celebration after defeating the
eighth-ranked team in the
country and the crosstown
rival.
But there was something
wrong with Monday’s court
storming.
Kansas State upset Kansas
on that same floor a year
ago. They stormed the
court.
Before
that, fans
rushed the
court after
Kansas
State’s victory over
Kansas in
2011.

Just a

Maryland
fans, albeit
much more
casually, rushed the floor
after “upsetting” Wisconsin.
Despite Wisconsin’s No. 5
ranking, Maryland is
ranked 14. Was it even an
upset?
Now the court storm is
back in the limelight for all
the wrong reasons.
Here are my proposed
rules of the court storm:
1. If you are a ranked
team, you can’t rush the
court. Maryland, congrats
on the win. Big win.
Wisconsin is one of the
toughest teams in the country. But you’re second in the
Big Ten, and you were playing on your home floor.
Impressive, yes, but not surprising.
2. If you beat the opponent
within the last three years,
stay in your seats. Your win
is less impressive when you
just beat the same team a
year ago. The win, and the
storm, lose their appeal if
you do it all the time.
There are some exceptions
to these rules, though.
1. You’re unranked, and
you beat the No. 1 team in
the country. I don’t care if
you’ve already rushed the
court six times this year.
When you take down
Kentucky, get your butt on
that hardwood. Immediately.
High five everyone. Cry. It’s
awesome. Just ask Christian
Watford.
2. The win earns your
team something significant.
Conference title, undefeated
season, whatever, it
deserves a celebration.
3. You’re a significant
underdog and you win on a
buzzer beater. Buzzer beaters are equally as awesome
as court storming, so when
you get the chance to combine them, take full advantage. You’re probably
already out of your seat
spilling beer all over your
buddies. You might as well
take it to the court.
4. Establish yourself as a
student section with zero
rules. You’re a bunch of
heathens that doesn’t care
about anything. Outlaws.
This one is the favorite of
Grantland journalist Mark
Titus. He suggests rushing
the court if your team is
winning at halftime. Rush
the court after EVERY. SINGLE. WIN. It’s like a WWE
match that makes its way
backstage. No count outs, no
mercy.
Now that we have these
rules in place, there are no
excuses.
The court storm shall live
on forever.

BARRIER: One of the many initiatives that came about after Earnhardt’s death
FROM B2
Daytona is owned by ISC, the
sister company of NASCAR.
Saunders said ISC is “developing a significant plan” for more
impact-absorbing technologies
that will not be limited to SAFER
barriers for Daytona and
Talladega.
ISC will also immediately
review Phoenix International
Raceway and Auto Club Speedway
in Fontana, California, as both
tracks host NASCAR races in
March.
“We will utilize all available
tools to ensure the safety of the
drivers and our fans. It will
remain our top priority,”
Saunders said in a statement. “ISC
is working very closely with
NASCAR and industry experts to
identify areas for additional safety
protections.”
SAFER barriers were one of the
many safety initiatives that came
about after Dale Earnhardt’s
death in 2001 in an accident on the
last lap of the Daytona 500.
The soft walls were developed by
Dr. Dean Sicking at the University
of Nebraska, and although they
debuted in 2002 at Indianapolis
Motor Speedway, they are currently installed in some form at every
track used by NASCAR’s top
series.
The barriers, a combination of
steel and foam, cost about $500 a
foot. But, the cost has proven
worth it as the walls absorb the
energy during impact and have
repeatedly lessened injuries sustained to a driver.
Still, they have not been placed
everywhere around the racetracks. Tracks only install SAFER
barriers where NASCAR recommends to them they should be
placed. NASCAR, meanwhile,
cites evaluations of high-impact
areas in deciding where the material should be placed.
There have been numerous hard
hits over the years in areas that
were not protected with SAFER
barrier, and it often has been rectified by the time the series
returns. In 2013, Denny Hamlin
hit an unprotected section of wall
in Fontana, California, that
caused a fractured vertebra.
NASCAR had Auto Club
Speedway install SAFER barrier
where Hamlin hit before the
series returned last year. Las
Vegas Motor Speedway did the

Reigning Sprint Cup champion
Kevin Harvick hit the same wall
Busch did in last year’s Daytona
500, and was critical of the lack of
SAFER barrier immediately following his own accident. He was
pleased that Daytona was reacting
after Busch’s injury, but felt it was
a bit late.
“The racetracks have to be
proactive and they have to look
ahead of an accident,” Harvick
said. “We know what fixes these
walls, and that’s to put a wall in
front of them.”

MARY WORTH by Karen Moy and Joe Giella
BORN LOSER® by Art and Chip Sansom
When the Golden State
Warriors' Klay Thompson
scored a record-breaking 37
points in one quarter, no one
watching the game thought,
"Geez, maybe he shouldn't
take those shots."
But that sentiment seems
more widespread than ever
before when it comes to vaccinations, and that's a shame.
If parents were as eager to
have their kids take shots to
prevent measles as fans are
to watch Thompson sink his
shots, we wouldn't be experiencing an outbreak that
threatens to reverse the declaration, made just 15 years
ago, that "measles has been
eradicated in the U.S."
Since the Disneyland
measles outbreak started
with 42 cases, the problem
has continued to spread.
(California's unvaccinated
rate is 13 percent; Ghana's is
11 percent.) Unfortunately,
people have listened to faulty
info about vaccinations causing harm and NOT to just
how dangerous measles are
to those who are unvaccinated, especially infants who
don't get the first measles
vaccine until they're 12-15
months old. (Expanded recommendations: Kids 6
months to 12 months heading
abroad should get the vaccine.)
But now a 12-year study
shows that the measles vaccine, as part of measlesmumps-rubella-varicella
(MMRV) vaccine or separately administered as part of
MMR + V vaccines, has
greater benefits than risk,
even for children 12 months
to 23 months. Although
researchers found that 1 in
1,000 1-year-olds could experience febrile seizures a week
or so after getting the shot,
getting these shots is more
likely to prevent a serious
problem than cause one by
more than 4,000 to 1. You
should only be so lucky in
Las Vegas. Just get the shots.

ALLEY OOP® by Dave Graue and Jack Bender
DEAR ABBY: I'm in my 40s
and my boyfriend of three
years is 12 years older. We are
in love and our relationship
is great. He travels for work
and lives in another state, so
he flies in to see my daughter
and me every other week.
Because he is older, he uses
Viagra, and it's kept at my
place in a drawer. I assumed
that's where it was always
kept.
Abby, when he left for his
trip yesterday, he took his
Viagra with him! He says he
grabbed the bottle without
thinking and that I'm overreacting. The rest of his things
are kept in his travel bag, so
it's not like he just gathered
up all of his pills. They were
the only ones. Now he's upset
with me because "I don't trust
him."
Can you help me get my
thinking straight? I caught
him lying about something
when we first started dating,
so he's not all squeaky clean
like he acts. -- SUSPICIOUS
IN VIRGINIA
DEAR SUSPICIOUS: Unless
your boyfriend was prescribed the Viagra for a condition other than ED, I'd say
you have a right to be suspicious. Because his little blue
pills were kept apart from his
other medications, it took
special effort for him to pack
them. Talk with him further
because he may have been
contemplating a "party of
one" during his travels and
not have been looking for
adventure.
DEAR ABBY: I'm in the
middle of a situation that I'm
not sure how to deal with. My
mother's husband made a
pass at my boyfriend. My
boyfriend thinks I should tell
her.
Abby, my mother and her
husband are in their 70s, and
I don't want to cause problems in their marriage. I'd
like to write it off as a "misunderstanding," but my stepdad has a history of doing
things like this. -- ANONYMOUS IN OREGON
DEAR ANONYMOUS: If
your boyfriend didn't already,
he should tell your stepfather
the pass was unwelcome and
he doesn't want it to happen
again. If it does, you and
your boyfriend should talk to
your mother about it and
explain why she'll be seeing
less of you unless she visits
you -- alone. Because this
isn't the first time your stepfather has acted inappropriately, it won't be news to her.
And because she has tolerated his behavior in the past, I
doubt it will cause problems
between them now.
DEAR ABBY: My husband's
family gave us a large painting that is not our taste at all.
We would love to get rid of it,
but of course we feel obligated to keep it and hang it in
order to not hurt their feelings.
They live nearby and visit
often, so putting the painting
away doesn't seem realistic.
We live in a small apartment
and there is nowhere "discreet" to hang it. Plus, it is
too large to take to our
offices.
Other than staging a robbery, are there any options
that would keep everyone
happy? -- GRINNING &
BEARING IT
DEAR GRINNING:
Another option would be to
level with your in-laws. Tell
them you are grateful for
their generosity, but the artwork is not your taste, and
then ask if they would mind
if you exchanged it.
Dear Abby is written by
Abigail Van Buren, also
known as Jeanne Phillips,
and was founded by her
mother, Pauline Phillips.

NON SEQUITUR
Hints from Heloise
Dear
Heloise: A
number of
years ago, I
purchased
a good
amount of
food,
canned
goods, etc.
(a stockpile
in case of an emergency). A review indicates that many have
a "use by" date that has EXPIRED. Should I throw these in
the dump, or can they be safely
used by some organization? -R.B. McArdle, Hot Springs,
Ark.
It all depends on how long beyond the expiration date, storage conditions and the type of
food. I defer to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the source
on this one.
Indicator 1: If the cans (meats
and vegetables) have no dents,
no bulging or are not leaking,
it's a "go" to use or donate in
two to five years' time.
Indicator 2: If they have been
stored safely away in a cool,
dry place (NOT a damp basement or hot or freezing garage),
then it's a "go."
Heloise
Indicator 3: High-acid foods,
like tomatoes or pineapple,
have a much shorter shelf life
of 12-18 months. These are a
maybe/maybe not.
-- Heloise
GRABBING FILTERS
Dear Heloise: I always love
the hints I get from your column. I had a problem separating stacked coffee filters when
making coffee. I attempted to
retrieve one while my finger
was wet from another duty.
The filter popped right out with
a slight pinch upward. Now I
moisten my finger before
reaching for the filters. It
makes the procedure so much
easier. -- Scottie in Little Rock,
Ark.
Hey, Scottie, a simple hint
can make the morning go well.
Do say "hi" to my friends in
your city! I enjoyed my visit
and a stop at the newspaper
when I last gave a speech there.
-- Heloise
Dear Heloise: Wintertime is
soup and stew time. My freezer
space is at a premium. I had an
"aha" moment when it occurred
to me to add only some of the
required liquid, making a "condensed soup" for storage. I then
add the rest of the liquid when
reheating. Some things seem so
obvious after I figure them out!
-- M.B., Mount Vernon, Va.
The best hints come during
those unexpected -- as you say,
"aha" -- moments! Don't you just
love soup? It's easy to make, is
low-cost and such a comfort
food during the cold months. I
wrote my Heloise's Spectacular
Soups pamphlet to share favorite family and friends'
recipes. To order one, please
send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Soups, P.O.
Box 795001, San Antonio, TX
78279-5001. When cooking soup,
add less salt than normal and
let individuals salt their portion. You taste less sodium in
hot foods than cold. Also, use
up the last of a bag of pretzels
for a crunchy topping. -Heloise
MEASURING-SPOON DUTY
Dear Heloise: I bought a new
set of measuring spoons. I decided to keep using the old set. I
keep one spoon in my sugar
bowl, one in my baking-soda
container, one in my coffee canister, etc. -- Ashley M., Springfield, Mo.

TAURUS (April 20-May
20): Remember to appreciate your friends and most
devoted partners, but at the
same time try to stand on
your own two feet. Taking
the good will of others for
granted may put you in a
poor position.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
Sometimes you're challenged by a choice that's a
case of feast or famine. By
making it your priority to
not give up, no matter the
cost, you may be able to arrive at a very satisfying
compromise.
CANCER (June 21-July
22): Don't say anything you
aren't willing to have circulated in public. Keep your
pennies in your pocket, as
you're likely to waste them.
A good friend might put
things in proper perspective.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):
You're in wholehearted
agreement with a special
someone. You may need to
break with tradition in
order to move on to bigger
and better things. Changes
that are for the best will
benefit everyone.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Wear your heart on your
sleeve. Even the appearance
of a lack of trust could undermine even the best partnerships. A little
understanding and sensitivity can keep love shining
brightly.

Buying expensive things

Phillip Alder
Rex Stout,
the creator of
Nero Wolfe,
said, "To
read of a detective's daring finesse or
ingenious stratagem is a
rare joy."
A bridge player
should not be taking daring finesses. However, to
watch an expert's ingenious stratagem is a rare
joy.
Before we get to
the play of today's deal,
though, what should
South bid after West
opens one diamond,
North makes a takeout
double, and East passes?
Next, plan
South's stratagem in
four spades after West
cashes his two top diamonds and shifts to a
heart.
In the auction, if
South bids one spade, it
shows 0-8 points; if he
jumps to two spades, it
indicates 9-11 points.
With more than that, he
starts with a two-dia-
mond cue-bid. The auction continues two
hearts - two spades - four
spades - pass.
South can afford
one trump loser, but not
two. Strangely, the best
play is the same even if
East and West have
passed throughout.
Here, West is marked
with the spade
king from his
opening bid. So
first playing low
to the queen cannot be right. The
second-best play
is low to the 10,
planning, if it
loses to the jack,
to cash the ace
next. But even
better is immediately to cash the
ace. When the
king comes
down, South can
gain an overtrick by finessing East out of
his spade jack.
In isolation against

Bartlett has been married to

nents, if the ace dropped
the jack, South would
continue with the queen
to drive out the king. Or,
if the ace collected only

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.
21): Climb every mountain.
You can surmount all obstacles. Just remember that
sometimes it's lonely at the
top. Where ambitions are
concerned, you're a winner,
but social sensitivity could
be lacking.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): If conversations
seem to center on your appearance, don't worry that
other people are picking
you apart. Maybe you simply need a new outfit or a
fabulous haircut to lift your
spirits.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): Your guardian angel
will keep you out of harm's
way where love and money
are concerned. Use common
sense; don't get swept away
by sudden whims and passions that might not last.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18): Make an effort to make
yourself known. Network
with a congenial circle of
important friends and add
luster to your reputation.
You can overcome minor
setbacks by trying something different.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20): Give an inch to gain a
mile. Minor arguments or
disagreements can have a
happy ending if you work
hard to cooperate. Those in
authority might be unyielding if push comes to shove.
IF FEBRUARY 26 IS
YOUR BIRTHDAY: You
may find your groove dur-
ing the next 6-8 weeks.
You're more sensitive to
your surroundings and can
find ways to improve your
health, as well as your outlook. Get your finances, career, or business into apple
pie order in March while
you're more perceptive
about the material world.
With your popularity at an
all-time high in April, it's
easy to make new friends.
You're more romantic than
usual in July, but don't just
settle for the first person or
thing that shows up. October could bring a major opportunity for advancement.
Buckle down to pursue your
ambitions in November,
and if you meet your obligations head on you'll be rewarded.

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.
