Heath explained that themajority of revenue for thecollege district, about 60percent, comes from statefunding, about 20 percentcomes from tuition fees and20 percent from local milllevy revenue.
Local mill levy revenuewill be 11 percent less in thecoming year, due to adecrease in county valua-tion of $437 million, downfrom a previous $493 mil-lion. In addition, the statebiennial appropriation is 6percent less.
However, Heath said a 5percent tuition increasewill offset some of the otherrevenue reductions. Shenoted that the WyomingCommunity CollegeCommission sets tuitionprices for all communitycolleges in the state, withinput from college trusteesand presidents.

BUDGET: Take-home pay will decline FROM 1

The county willsplit the cost of that increase with employ-ees.

unfortunate," Maier said.The county will not change staffing lev-
els. However, if positions become vacant,they will be evaluated and alternatives willbe considered, Maier said.

FROM 1
Roxie Taft, business manager for thedistrict, noted in her presentation to theboard that with an 11.4 percent decreasein local assessed valuation, the districtwill be requesting approximately 3 per-cent more from the state for funding.
“When our local valuation goes down,our reliance on state foundation fundsgoes up,” she said.
In other business, the board heard apresentation from Todd Richins ofVolunteers of America about theAccountability Change in Education(ACE) program that is operated jointly byVOA and the district.
The partnership began in 2007 and pro-vides an alternative program for studentswho are suspended from school. The pro-gram supervises students and allowsthem to continue their schoolwork duringtheir suspension.
“The primary goal is to provide struc-
ture and supervision,” Richins explained.“That in turn helps keep our kids safewhile they are serving out of school sus-pensions.”
Richins reported that ACE supervised52 elementary school students, 57 juniorhigh students and 163 high school stu-dents last year. In addition to continuingtheir academic work during suspension,students are required to discuss andreflect on the action or behavior that ledto their suspension, take responsibilityfor that action and consider alternateways to handle similar situations in thefuture that would not lead to disciplinaryaction.
SCSD2 Superintendent Craig Doughertynoted that the ACE program is the onlyone of its kind in the state.
“It is a tremendous resource. Our job isto make this thing as strong as possible,”he told the board, noting that in the com-ing year, the district and the VOA willwork to improve the transition of the stu-dents back to the school aftertheir time in the ACE pro-gram.
“I am a big proponent of thisprogram,” Board ChairmanScott Hininger added. “I can’tsay enough about it and weare tweaking it to make it evenbetter.”
Renewal of the contractbetween for the ACE program will bevoted on Aug. 12.

CHEYENNE (AP) — Preparationsare being made for a final winter ofseeding clouds over Wyoming moun-tains as part of the state’s uniqueresearch project to determine whetherthe practice actually works.
“We’re just continuing on andmethodically continuing down thatpath to get to the finish line,” BarryLawrence, project manager with theWyoming Water Development Office,said. “A lot of good science going onhere, a lot of attention being paid tothe project, and we’re very pleasedwith how things have gone so far.”
The state has invested about $13 mil-lion since 2005 in the project, whichseeks to determine whether cloudseeding increases the amount ofsnowpack in several of the state’smountain ranges. Cloud seedinginvolves injecting silver iodide intoclouds. Under the right conditions,the chemical can help water droplets
grow and fall to the ground.Facing water shortages and drought
conditions, governments around theworld and in the United States haveundertaken cloud seeding in anattempt to wring more rain and snowfrom the sky. Critics say the techniqueis not proven and could pose a threatto the environment.
Most of Wyoming’s water supplycomes from winter snowfall in themountains.
Supporters of the project sayincreasing the state’s winter snow-pack would provide more water forcommunities and irrigation andwould be cheaper than building newdams and reservoirs.
The Wyoming project has been ham-pered by drought conditions that havelimited chances for cloud seeding thepast two winters.
In order for scientists andresearchers to adequately determine
whether the cloud seeding hasworked, they need a statistically validset of data, which depends on thenumber of times cloud seeding is suc-cessfully conducted.
Lawrence said researchers succeed-ed in obtaining 17 cloud seeding caseslast winter after getting a low of just15 the previous winter.
During the first years of the project,when there was no drought,researchers obtained more than 30cases in some years, he said.
“Going into the fall and into thewinter we’ll know better how manyadditional cases we’d like to have,”Lawrence said. “But we’re methodi-cally going down that path, and sowe’re cautiously optimistic, I wouldguess, that we’re going to come upwith scientifically credible results.”
Scientists will issue a report at theend of 2014 on whether the cloud seed-ing worked.

HELENA, Mont. (AP) — Acivil-rights organization fileda new lawsuit against thestate Monday on behalf ofseven gay couples in anattempt to win for them thesame benefits that marriedcouples receive in Montana.
The American CivilLiberties Union of Montanafiled its amended complaintafter the state Supreme Courtrejected its first lawsuit inDecember for being too broadand not identifying specificlaws that are discriminatory.
In the amended lawsuit,attorney James Goetz identi-fies numerous statutes,including laws he says pre-vents gay couples from receiv-ing financial protections givento police officers and spousesand from designating theirpartners as beneficiaries forworker’s compensation.
Other laws Goetz citesexclude gay couples fromfinancial protections for sur-viving spouses, authority overend-of-life decisions, financialprotections due to illness ordisability and protectionsfrom the dissolution of theirrelationships.
State prosecutors haveargued that spousal benefitsare limited by definition tomarried couples.
A 2004 voter-approvedamendment to the MontanaConstitution defines marriageas between a man and awoman, but the plaintiffs saythey are not seeking the rightto marry.

REZONE: Attorney to check legal authority of agreementFROM 1
Following the Planning Commissionmeeting July 8, de facto neighborhoodrepresentative Ernie Scott gathered 24signatures from nearby residents on apetition to City Council to reject therezone request. The petition stipulatedthat the ordinance be approved by athree-fourths vote (6 votes) from thecouncil.
In the meantime, residents and bankofficials decided to draft a develop-ment agreement to protect the inter-ests of concerned residents.
“I’m happy with where things areheaded,” Scott said.
Councilman Levi Dominguez ques-tioned how much legal authority thedevelopment agreement would hold ifthe property was sold in the future,and Mayor Dave Kinskey assured thatthe city would have its attorney,Gregory Von Krosigk, look into thematter.
“There was some opposition fromthe neighborhood, which, duly, right-fully so,” Dominguez said. “At thispoint, it’s initial hesitation was that
we were encroaching, we were inchingour way into a residential area,although it was a little finicky with B-1 on one side and R-2 running down onthe other side.
“I think it’s moving in the rightdirection, so as we get that develop-ment agreement and make sure thatthe neighbors are protected and thebank is also protected, it is a win-winsituation.”
In other business: • The Council approved on second
reading amending Ordinance 2137 toallow limited signage on non-residen-tial buildings in R-3 zoning districtsand to change the setback require-ments to increase flexibility in signplacement.
Non-residential buildings in R-3 zon-ing are currently limited to a 1-foot by1-foot sign, which had proved problem-atic for city staff and business own-ers, according to a staff memo fromPlanning and Development DirectorRobert Briggs.
• Councilor Shelleen Smith providedan update for the Council on her timeat the Northeast Wyoming Municipal
Leadership Group meeting in GilletteSaturday. NEWY is comprised of lead-ers from 15 municipalities in north-east Wyoming.
The meeting focused on an upcom-ing NEWY Energy and Tourism tourfor legislative staffers fromWashington, D.C., Aug. 4-8. Thestaffers will learn about resourcedevelopment in Wyoming and how itrelates to communities and tourism,another key portion of Wyoming’seconomy, Smith said.
“We plan on showing them that itdoesn’t make a huge impact on ourenvironment in Wyoming,” Smithsaid. “We still have one of the mostbeautiful states, and we enjoy greatnumbers of tourists here every year,and that’s an important part of oureconomy also. We find that we canpair both of those things very wellhere in Wyoming, and we want toshare that message, and we want themto know how important energy devel-opment is to Wyoming.”
The Energy and Tourism tour willbe funded by NEWY and the State ofWyoming.

There are no winners in the trial ofGeorge Zimmerman. The only questionis whether the damage that has beendone has been transient or irreparable.
Legally speaking, Zimmerman has wonhis freedom. But he can still be sued in acivil case, and he will probably never besafe to live his life in peace, as he couldhave before this case made him the focus ofnational attention and orchestrated hate.
More important than the fate of GeorgeZimmerman, however, is the fate of theAmerican justice system and of the pub-lic's faith in that system and in their coun-try. People who have increasingly asked,during the lawlessness of the Obamaadministration, "Is this still America?"may feel some measure of relief.
But the very fact that this case wasbrought in the first place, in an absence ofserious evidence — which became evermore painfully obvious as the prosecutionstrained to try to come up with anythingworthy of a murder trial —will be of limit-ed encouragement as to how long this willremain America.
The political perversion of the criminaljustice system began early and at the top,with the President of the United States.Unlike other public officials who decline tocomment on criminal cases that have notyet been tried in court, Barack Obamachose to say, "If I had a son, he'd look likeTrayvon."
It was a clever way to play the race card,as he had done before, when ProfessorHenry Louis Gates of Harvard was arrest-ed.
But it did not stop there. After the localpolice in Florida found insufficient evi-dence to ask for Zimmerman to be prose-
cuted, the Obama admin-istration sent JusticeDepartment investigatorsto Sanford, Florida, andalso used the taxpayers'money to finance localactivists who agitated forZimmerman to be arrest-ed.
Political interventiondid not end with the fed-eral government. The citymanager in Sanford inter-vened to prevent theusual police procedures
from being followed.When the question arose of identifying
the voice of whoever was calling for helpduring the confrontation between TrayvonMartin and George Zimmerman, the nor-mal police procedure would have been tolet individuals hear the recording separate-ly, rather than have a whole family hear ittogether.
If you want to get each individual's hon-est opinion, you don't want that opinion tobe influenced by others who are present,much less allow a group to coordinate whatthey are going to say.
When the city manager took this out ofthe hands of the police, and had TrayvonMartin's family, plus Rachel Jeantel, allhear the recording together, that's politics,not law.
This was just one of the ways that thiscase looked like something out of "Alice inWonderland." Both in the courtroom and inthe media, educated and apparently intelli-gent people repeatedly said things thatthey seemed sincerely, and even fervently,to believe, but which were unprovable and
often even unknowable.In addition, the testimony of prosecution
witness after prosecution witness under-mined the prosecution's own case. Somecritics faulted the prosecuting attorneys.But the prosecutors had to work with whatthey had — and they had no hard evidencethat would back up a murder charge oreven a manslaughter charge.
You don't send people to prison on thebasis of what other people imagine, or onthe basis of media sound bites like "shoot-ing an unarmed child," when that "child"was beating him bloody.
The jury indicated, early on as theirdeliberations began, that they wanted tocompare hard evidence, when they askedfor a complete list of the testimony on bothsides.
Once the issue boiled down to hard, prov-able facts, the prosecutors' loud histrionicassertions and sweeping innuendoes werejust not going to cut it.
Nor was repeatedly calling Zimmerman aliar effective, especially when the prosecu-tion misquoted what Zimmerman said, asan examination of the record would show.
The only real heroes in this trial were thejurors. They showed that this is stillAmerica — at least for now — despitepoliticians who try to cheapen or corruptthe law, as if this were some banana repub-lic. Some are already calling for a federalindictment of George Zimmerman, after hehas been acquitted.
Will this still be America then?

In August of 1943,I was on a trooptrain with approxi-mately 200 othermen being trans-ferred fromShepherd Field inTexas to Missoula,Mont. We were in

We wereextremely hot and sweaty and thirsty.The trip was supposed to take twodays, but due to numerous delays, ittook four days. It was the worst trip Ihave ever taken, except for one verybright spot.
After three days, our train pulledinto the Sheridan Railway Station andto our delight, some 30 ladies werewaiting to greet us on the station plat-form. They had set up tables with colddrinks and cookies and doughnuts.We were not allowed off the train, buttheir beautiful, smiling ladies handedthe refreshments to us through thewindows. The train was in the stationfor only about 30 minutes, but I stillremember how great it was and howmuch it meant to me and the others.
That has now been 70 years ago, butI have always and will always havegreat memories of that 30 minutesand a warm spot in my heart for thecity of Sheridan and especially forthose beautiful angels.
Thanks to all of you, so very much.

Fearless prediction: NationalLeague All Stars 8, American League3.

The Notebook’s always been a fan ofbaseball trivia. Here’s a new dose.
Future Hall of Famer MarianoRivera will likely finish his career(this is his last season) with the mostgames played without a hit. The best-ever closer in baseball history with638 saves (and counting) is oh-for-three at the plate, with a walk. WhenRivera enters a game from the NYYankees’ bullpen with Metallica’s“Enter Sandman” blaring from loud-speakers in Yankee Stadium, it usual-ly means the other team starts sack-ing up the bats; as in, “It’s over.”
But in 1,088 (and counting) majorleague appearances in 19 seasons, hedoesn’t hit much. He has one RBI, theresult of Mets’ pitcher FranciscoRodriquez walking him in 2009 withthe bases loaded, forcing in a run.Rivera has spent his career in theAmerican League where pitchersdon’t hit and in an era where closersare seldom required to pitch morethan one inning. Rollie Fingers, a Hallof Famer, was 31 for 180 in his careeras a hitter; Trevor Hoffman, who issecond only to Rivera in saves with601, was four-for-34. Rivera came upprofessionally from Panama as ashortstop but transitioned to pitching.

Aperson moaned tome the other daythat he was tired ofheavy traffic and
loony drivers in Sheridan. Ithought to myself, “Man,this guy needs some per-spective.” He should trydriving in Saudi Arabia.
I have. I worked anddrove in Riyadh, SaudiArabia, for two years andcount myself lucky tohave escaped numerousclose calls, daily. Drivers
in that part of the world have a differentidea about rules of the road than we do.
One rule seems to be “use your horn alot.” The more you use it the safer you’llbe. I don’t believe most of the drivers coulddrive a car if it didn’t have a good horn; tothem, it’s the most important part of thecar. There is kind of a Morse code of honk-ing. At intersections Saudi’s lean heavilyon the horn and blare it all the waythrough to warn others that “I’m comingthrough. Stay clear.” Short Staccato blasts,(beep, beep, beep), are used to warn driversapproaching on a side road to “stay out ofthe way because I’m coming by.” Longer,louder blasts are used to tell the driver in
front of you to speed up or get out of theway. These signals are usually accompa-nied by a shaking fist and angry grimace,plainly visible in the rear view mirror ofthe car in front. It’s road rage at its zenith.I have witnessed an angry and frustrateddriver on a busy two lane road take to theborrow pit to pass slower moving vehicles.No one seems to get upset about it; it’s anaccepted practice. The whole place isdesert, so why not make good use of it?
Another rule is “never look right or leftand avoid eye contact with other drivers.”Some drivers in Saudi Arabia have a “headin the sand mentality.” That is, “if I don’tsee you and I run into you it’s your fault.”It is not uncommon for a driver on a fourlane highway to suddenly swerve acrossthree lanes of traffic to exit a highwaywithout so much as glance in either direc-tion. And if there is a multi-car pileup as aresult well, heck, it’s not the drivers fault.He didn’t see them. It’s also possible thedriver laid on the horn to warn everyonehe was turning. So, hey, it’s not his fault.They didn’t get out of the way.
There are many other driving idiosyn-crasies (to us anyway) to be found in SaudiArabia and, generally, in that part of theworld. It’s really a cultural thing; an atti-tude and approach to life that is foreign to
most of us. And so it is what it is. If you’rea guest in that country you just have tolearn what’s going on so you can be pre-pared and protect yourself; but the learn-ing process can leave you with a jagged setof jangled nerves and really white knuck-les.
However, there is one practice in SaudiArabia that I could never accept or getused to and it always caught me by sur-prise; and to tell you the truth, it scared meevery time it happened. Some Saudi driversuse their cars for sport at your expense.They consider it huge fun to drive downvery dark roads with their lights out andtail gate your vehicle. You have no ideathey are there. Then suddenly they flashtheir lights on bright and pass with aswishing roar and blaring horn, probablylaughing all the way as they look for theirnext victim.
Compared to that, driving in Sheridan ispretty darn civilized don’t you think?

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Protesters ran through LosAngeles streets Monday night, breaking windows,attacking people on sidewalks and at one point raidinga Wal-Mart store, while others blocked a major freewayin the San Francisco Bay Area in the third night ofdemonstrations in California over GeorgeZimmerman’s Florida acquittal in the shooting death ofTrayvon Martin.
Thirteen people were arrested after multiple acts ofvandalism and several assaults in Los Angeles’Crenshaw District, Mayor Eric Garcetti and PoliceChief Charlie Beck said at a news conference.
Garcetti and Beck didn’t elaborate on the assaults orany injuries, but at least one man could be seen in thestreet with a head injury.
More than 300 officers were called to the scene andwere at first slow to directly engage protesters in anattempt to allow a peaceful end to the demonstration,Beck said. But the chief said police would take a muchstricter posture in the coming nights.
“This will not be allowed to continue,” Beck said.Several hundred mostly peaceful protesters gathered
Monday night at Leimert Park southwest of downtownLA, many of them chanting, praying and singing.
But a smaller group of between 100 and 150 peoplesplintered off and began blocking traffic on nearbyCrenshaw Boulevard, some of them jumping on carsand breaking windows at liquor stores and fast foodoutlets.
Several protesters ran into a Wal-Mart store, wherethey knocked down displays before store security
chased them out, and police began guarding the door.Tonya Williams was shopping with her daughter
when the protesters burst in and security briefly lockeddown the store.
“We thought we were going to be stuck in there,”Williams said. “We saw the merchandise all thrownaround. They had pulled the rack down, and there wasmerchandise all over the floor.”
TV news helicopters showed some people kicking andpunching others along the street, including two peoplesitting on a bus bench.
Police declared the gathering an unlawful assemblyabout three hours after it began, and most of the crowdleft the street.
Garcetti, who returned early from an East Coast tripbecause of the demonstrations, praised the “over-whelming majority” who protested peacefully.
“We are a better city than what we have seen tonightin the hands of a few people,” the mayor said.
In Oakland, dozens of demonstrators briefly blockedall lanes of Interstate 880 at the tail end of rush hour,stopping traffic in both directions for several minutesbefore lanes were cleared by authorities. Several pro-testers laid their bicycles on the ground in front ofstopped cars.
“You’ve got to go. You will go to jail,” one police offi-cer shouted at demonstrators who were blocking traffic,the Oakland Tribune reported. However, police decidednot to make arrests as the marchers, chanting “Justicefor Trayvon Martin,” were directed back to surfacestreets.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An Indiana doctor has beenarrested in Illinois on suspicion of involvement inthe killings of three adults and an 11-year-old boy inNebraska all with ties to an Omaha university med-ical school that fired him in 2001.
Dr. Anthony Garcia, 40, was arrested Monday dur-ing a traffic stop by Illinois State Police in UnionCounty, in southern Illinois, Omaha Police ChiefTodd Schmaderer said.
Garcia is accused of breaking into the Omahahome of Creighton University medical school pathol-ogy professor Roger Brumback in May. Investigatorsbelieve Garcia fatally shot the professor and stabbedhis wife Mary to death, Schmaderer said. Garcia isalso suspected in the 2008 fatal stabbings of the sonof another Creighton pathology professor, WilliamHunter, and his housekeeper in an affluent Omahaneighborhood, just blocks from the home of billion-aire investor Warren Buffett.
Schmaderer said 11-year-old Thomas Hunter andthe housekeeper, Shirlee Sherman, were likely notthe intended targets of the attack and that investiga-tors believe Garcia acted alone.
Illinois authorities are holding Garcia, of TerreHaute, Ind., on suspicion of four counts of first-degree murder and four counts of using a weapon tocommit a felony, Schmaderer said. Garcia appearedto be intoxicated and was in possession of a .45-cal-iber handgun when he was arrested, he said.
An Illinois State Police official declined to discussdetails of Garcia’s arrest or detention.
It was not immediately clear if Garcia had anattorney.
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA aborted a space-walk at the International Space Station on Tuesdaybecause of a dangerous water leak in an astronaut’s hel-met that drenched his eyes, nose and mouth.
The leak was so bad that Luca Parmitano, Italy’s firstspacewalker, couldn’t hear or speak as the spacewalk cameto an abrupt end. He asked his spacewalking partner,Christopher Cassidy, for help getting back in.
“He looks miserable. But OK,” Cassidy assured MissionControl in Houston.
The source of the leak wasn’t immediately known but alikely culprit was the helmet drink bag that astronauts sipfrom during spacewalks, although Parmitano later report-ed it didn’t taste like drinking water.
Before crewmates inside yanked off his helmet,Parmitano said: “It’s a lot of water.”
NASA seldom cuts a spacewalk short. Tuesday’s problemleft them with no choice. Parmitano could have choked onthe floating water droplets in the helmet.
The trouble cropped up barely an hour into what was tobe a six-hour spacewalk to perform cable work and otherroutine maintenance that had stacked up over the past cou-ple years.
It was the astronauts’ second spacewalk in eight days.Parmitano startled everyone when he announced that he
felt a lot of water on the back of his head.At first, he thought it was sweat because of all his exer-
tion on the job. But he was repeatedly assured it was notsweat. Cassidy said it might be water from his drink bag; itlooked like a half-liter of water had leaked out.
The water eventually got into Parmitano’s eyes. That’swhen NASA ordered the two men back inside. Then thewater drenched his nose and mouths, and he had troublehearing on the radio lines.
Cassidy quickly cleaned up the work site once Parmitanowas back in the air lock, before joining him back in thespace station.
The four astronauts who anxiously monitored the dramafrom inside hustled to remove Parmitano’s helmet. Theyclustered around him, eight hands pulling off his helmetand using towels to mop his bald head. Balls of water float-ed away.
Parmitano looked relatively fine on NASA TV as he ges-tured with his hands to show his crewmates where thewater had crept over his head.
Cassidy told Mission Control: “To him, the water clearlydid not taste like our normal drinking water.” A smilingParmitano then chimed in: “Just so you know, I’m aliveand I can answer those questions, too.”
Mission Control praised the crew for its fast effort andpromptly scheduled a radio hookup with flight surgeons onthe ground. Engineers, meanwhile, scrambled to deter-mine the source of the leak.

SHERIDAN — Monday morning brought a much-neededreprieve for the staff of Bighorn Design on the corner ofMain Street and Grinnell Plaza.
Following a hectic rodeo weekend — one which ownerJoan Jacobson characterized as her busiest ever — thequiet of the early morning hours was a welcome change ofpace, even if wouldn’t last for very long.
On several occasions last week, anxious visitors lined upoutside the store before it had even opened in an effort tosnag in-demand memorabilia and properly commemoratetheir trip to the Sheridan-Wyo-Rodeo.
“I think it just all came together this year the way it’ssupposed to,” Jacobson said in reference to the crowds.
Unsurprisingly, Jacobson said sales surged during theweek, and that they would likely remain strong throughoutthe remainder of the month.
“I think it was a little bit busier than last year and eventhe previous year,” she said. “It was rather chaotic.”
While official economic indicators aren’t yet available,Jacobson’s story likely isn’t unique among Sheridan busi-nesses.
Several local commerce representatives said this year’sedition of the rodeo felt busier than past incarnationsthanks to added events such as the Miss Indian Americareunion and First People’s Powwow.
“Those extra events are what we need to be lookingtoward as an opportunity to get people to stay in Sheridanlonger,” said Dixie Johnson, executive director of theSheridan County Chamber of Commerce.
While no specifics have yet been decided upon, Johnsonsaid rodeo organizers and community leaders haveengaged in preliminary discussions regarding the possibleaddition of new events to next year’s celebration.
At the heart of their efforts is an attempt to broaden theweek’s appeal among a wider array of demographics.
While it’s difficult to determine exactly how much therodeo already contributes to the area economy, an analysisof last year’s ticket sales by rodeo bookkeeper Larry Goldled him to believe the event generated more than $5 millionof local economic activity.
“From my perspective, I think it has a tremendousimpact on the economy in Sheridan,” Johnson said. “Ifanybody was out and about over the weekend, they sawhow many people were spending money.”
Still, she believes there’s likely room for growth.Representatives of the local hotel industry said they
agree with that sentiment.Although the Best Western Sheridan Center is almost
always booked solid during Rodeo Week, sales managerSabina Szatkowski said the addition of the Miss IndianAmerica reunion and a subsequent barbecue the hotelhosted for the event’s participants added significantly tothe Best Western’s food and beverage sales.
“We had really good volume this year, better than most,”she said.
Additionally, Szatkowski said she felt the new eventhelped further expand the rodeo’s appeal to out-of-townvisitors and locals alike.
“I think the Indian princesses added a lot to our Westernflair,” she said. “I thought it was a great contribution topeople who were driving through.”
The anecdotal increase in business is especially goodnews given tenuous predictions for national tourism thissummer.
According to figures from AAA, gas prices nationwidehave fluctuated more in 2013 than in many recent years.While some experts speculated that this relative unpre-dictability would lead to a decrease in travel, manySheridan business owners said they haven’t taken a hit.
For her part, Johnson said that hearing similar storiesmakes her hopeful the event will continue to grow.
With the week now officially behind them, Johnsonadded that local leaders may soon begin entertaining seri-ous discussions about how best to expand the event’sappeal.
If done correctly, she believes the week’s contributionsto the local economy could continue to grow in the yearsand decades to come.
As rodeo continues to grow,so does economic boost

Troopers solid all around in Laramie sweepBY BRAD ESTES
THE SHERIDAN PRESS
SHERIDAN — For the 2013 Sheridan Troopers, there have been timesthis season when last year’s record-breaking year has seemed morethan a distant memory.
Monday night’s two-game sweep of the Laramie Rangers helped.A nomadic team in 2013, which before last night had played all but
eight games on the road, Sheridan (19-20) brought the total package forits home crowd Monday. They defeated Laramie (23-19-1), 6-3 and 11-1, ina non-conference doubleheader at Thorne-Rider Stadium behind twostrong pitching performances.
Kyle Atkinson’s line was nearly perfect minus a three-run thirdinning made possible by two errors. The hard-throwing, high-kickerfrom Clearmont got the win while allowing seven hits and walking onlyone batter. He struck out seven and went the distance in game one.
Kevin Bakkehaug worked out of multiple jams and Sheridan finallygot their bats going to force a late 10-run rule in game two.
Sheridan’s previous two home games were drawn out struggles, stunt-ed by walked batters and multiple pitchers, and after a 3-2 weekend inBillings, they looked on-track for the final four games of the seasonbefore state.
“It feels great,” head coach Ben Phillips said. “We had our seniornight tonight and the days are winding down, some of the last onesthese guys are going to get to play together. For one of the last coupletimes they’re at home in their careers, I thought they played really well.They played great defensively, and our pitching was awesome tonight.Probably the best we’ve had back to back games all year.”
Sheridan looked relaxed despite playing their seventh game in the lastfive days, traveling to Billings each day over rodeo weekend. Even astheir coach admitted his team being tired, they held up Monday.
“For Kyle and Kevin to come out and eat up those innings, it savedour bullpen, and it saved our arms,” he said.
“It was great all the way around. I was very pleased.”Atkinson stayed on top of batters through the first four innings, and
had a grounder to keep that going to begin the fifth, but he skied thethrow over first baseman Kaul Eisele. The very next play was similar,as his throw to first deflected off Eisele’s glove. The Rangers would cap-italize on the back-to-back errors, using two hits to score three runs, butAtkinson would get a strikeout to end the threat and strand twobaserunners.
“You’re going to have bad innings in baseball” Phillips said. “There’sgoing to be errors, there’s going to be mistakes. You’ve just got to bementally tough enough to battle through it and I thought they did agood job. Kevin threw great tonight, I wasn’t expecting five innings outof him at all.”
Held up by Atkinson, Sheridan took some time to get going at thedish. One Trooper, Will O’Dell, had a hot bat on his senior night as heslapped three singles through the infield, reaching in all of his plateappearances in the first game. Matt Mullinax’s sacrifice fly scored

Clady to beback on thefield in early
AugustENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP)
— Ryan Clady has been oneof the NFL’s most depend-able players, quickest heal-ers and best risk assessors.
One year after rejecting a$50 million offer and playinglast season for a relativebargain price of $3.5 mil-lion, Peyton Manning’sblindside protector cashedin on his gamble by signinga five-year deal worth up to$57.5 million over the week-end. Clady is one of justfour offensive linemen inleague history to start everygame in each of his first fiveseasons and also earn threePro Bowl berths. He skippedlast year’s trip to Hawaiiwith a torn right labrumthat required surgery. Hehopes to be cleared by earlyAugust and the Broncos areconfident he’ll be in thelineup Sept. 5 when theBaltimore Ravens visitDenver to kick off the 2013season.
Clady’s proven healingpower was on display in2010 when he blew out hisleft knee. He returned frommajor surgery to start all 16games and reached his pre-vious form the last two sea-sons.
Although Clady stayedaway from the team’s offsea-son program, the Broncoswere able to have head ath-letic trainer SteveAntonopulos directly evalu-ate his shoulder this sum-mer. Clady said that visitand a positive report fromnoted orthopedic surgeonDr. James Andrews helpedspeed resolution on the con-tract that netted him $33million in guaranteedmoney.
O’Dell in the fourth inning, and Tony Mort scored on a passed ball togive Sheridan its first lead.
Sheridan fell behind briefly 3-2 in the fifth after the two errors, butConnor McCafferty lasered a home run to right-center field andO’Dell singled in Mark Munson to give Sheridan a 4-3 advantage.Drew Adriaens doubled to deep center to score Mort and SkylerHolwell in the sixth to seal the win.
“We’ve been hitting a little better lately, but today we struggled withthe bats,” Phillips said. “We could have hit a little better, but like Isaid, these guys are tired. That was what was so impressive about thepitching and the defense. Maybe our team can learn that if we’re nothitting the ball that well, if we play good defense, tighten things upand throw strikes, then defense and pitching wins games, notoffense.”

NEW YORK (AP) — YoenisCespedes certainly made hismark at the All-Star game — andhe’s not even on the roster.
Actually, it was a dent.Oakland’s second-year slugger
won baseball’s Home Run Derbywith a dazzling display of powerMonday night, becoming the firstplayer left out of the MidsummerClassic to take home the crown.
Cespedes beat Bryce Harper 9-8in the final round at reconfiguredCiti Field, hitting the decisivedrive with five swings to spare.The outfielder from Cuba flippedhis bat aside and raised his left
arm in triumph when he sent his32nd homer of the night some 455feet to center field, where it car-omed off the back wall of theblack batter’s eye. He wasswarmed by the American LeagueAll-Stars near the third base line.
“You come for a show in NewYork. He put on a show,” saidDetroit Tigers pitcher MaxScherzer, set to start for the AL onTuesday night.
The final addition to the field,Cespedes was the fourth playernot selected for the All-Star gameto compete in the event.
Right off the bat, he proved he
belonged. With family in thestands, Cespedes hit a whopping17 home runs in the first round —more than any other player man-aged in their first two trips to theplate.
“I felt that I was getting into avery good rhythm, and that aslong as the ball was right over theplate, I felt like I was in a goodgroove,” he said through a trans-lator. “That was the key.”
Baseball’s big boppers took aimat two trucks parked beside thehome run apple behind the cen-ter-field fence, a popular staple atMets games dating to their days
in Shea Stadium. With a shinyprize to shoot for, Cespedesdinged the hood on one and elicit-ed a rousing cheer. Cuban relieverAroldis Chapman of theCincinnati Reds brought Cespedeswater and a towel during the firstround, and 2010 champion DavidOrtiz strolled over to offer encour-agement and advice. TheRockettes danced atop thedugouts and did their famouskickline between first-round bat-ters.
“It’s far different from in Cuba,”Cespedes said. “There might betwo people at our games. There’s
only one photographer, and this iscompletely different and foreignto me. But I’m very happy to behere.” His first-round outburstwas enough to send him straightinto the finals, though he addedsix long balls in round two forgood measure. Some of his driveswere especially impressive, too.
Cespedes hit about a half-dozenballs into the upper deck in left,never reached by anyone in agame, and banged another coupleof shots off the restaurant win-dows in the corner just below.

Another zinger: Inthe past decade, the risk ofdying from degenerativebrain disease rose 39 percent.
What does it all add up to?In Canada and the U.S., theprospect for a guy (at birth)to achieve a HEALTHY lifeexpectancy is ranked seventhand 32nd respectively com-pared with all other coun-tries. For women in Canadaand the U.S., the prospect forhealthy life expectancy ranks23rd and 35th.
To improve your healthylong-life prospects, first deter-mine your RealAge (take thetest at Sharecare.com) andstart today to make yourRealAge younger and yourold age healthier: 1.

DEAR ABBY: I was recentlyhired for a job I have wantedfor years. I am a counselorfor troubled teens. I love it,and I empathize with those Iwork with. (Ten years ago, Iwas a teen placed in a similarfacility for some of the samereasons.)
The problem is, when I wasin a dark period of my life, Iwas a cutter. I still have deep
scars on one arm that arenoticeable. How do I handlethis now that I'm in the psy-chological field? I don't wishto go into detail about mypast, as that would be poorboundaries as an employeeand counselor. But it's hard toavoid with hot summerweather here and my past lit-erally "on my sleeve."
Please help. Some actionshave permanent conse-quences. I hope this willremind other cutters thattheir wounds may be some-thing they wish they couldundo once they are emotion-ally healed. -- NAMELESS INAMERICA
DEAR NAMELESS: I hopeyour comments will remindother cutters not only thatactions have consequences,but also that there are moreeffective solutions for emo-tional pain than self-injury.This is something you shoulddiscuss with your employers.
My thinking is, if yourclients see your scars, it mayhelp them to talk about theirown cutting, which would betherapeutic.
DEAR ABBY: I recentlybecame a father for the thirdtime. My children are 18, 5and 3 weeks old. My wife,"Molly," had complicationsduring this last pregnancythat caused her blood pres-sure to remain in a height-ened state for the last fewmonths of her pregnancy.She had been hoping for a lit-tle girl, but we were blessedwith another boy.
I'm turning 40 and my wifeis 37. I have reached a pointin my life where I'm ready tobe done changing diapers,but Molly wants to try againfor a little girl. I have issueswith my back and have ahard time getting to my 5-year-old's level now. I'mafraid if we continue havingchildren, I'll be unable to bethe involved dad I want to be.
Am I a bad husband forfeeling this way? I don't wantMolly to go through liferegretting not having thedaughter she always wanted,but there is no guarantee itwill happen if we decide totry again.
I make a fair living, butwith additional mouths tofeed come additional finan-cial responsibilities. I'mafraid I won't be able to pro-vide for my growing familyas I need to. Am I right in mythinking, or am I being over-ly cautious? -- STOPPING ATTHREE IN PENNSYLVANIA
DEAR STOPPING ATTHREE: You are thinkingclearly. At 37, and with hermedical history, your wifewould be considered "at risk"if she becomes pregnantagain. While I sympathizewith the fact that she yearnsfor a daughter, allow me toshare a true story with you:
A man was in a similar sit-uation to yours, but he hadfour daughters. So he and hiswife decided they would try"one more time" for a son.Sure enough, his wifebecame pregnant. She deliv-ered beautiful identical twin... daughters. At that point hegave up and had a vasecto-my!

Hints from Heloise Heloise
Bristling at the Grill Dear Heloise: Please repeat
your hint on checking GRILLBRUSHES for loose bristles. Ihad one stuck in my throatafter eating a hot dog, whichhad picked up a stray bristlewhile on the grill. Thanks! --C.F., via email
You're right! It is worth men-tioning again, so here goes! Ifyou clean your grill with a wirebrush, remember to take a wetpaper towel and wipe down thegrates afterward. This willcatch any stray bristles andprevent them from being trans-ferred to your food. Also, con-sider using alternative tools,such as nylon scrubbers or grill"stones" that are made from re-cycled materials. -- Heloise
RELAXING BATHDear Heloise: I had a skin ir-
ritation on my lower extremi-ties and decided to generouslysprinkle baking soda in thebath water to see if it mightcalm the irritation. Not onlydid it help the irritation, it leftmy legs and feet feeling sosmooth and soft. Rather thanusing the shower, I now makeit a habit to occasionally do a
baking-soda bath!It's very relaxing! --Donna B., via email
You have discov-ered one of themany uses for bak-ing soda. Add about
1/2 cup to warm bath water,and your skin will be silkysmooth! You just have to lovebaking soda and all the thingsyou can do with it. I sure do,which is why I wrote myHeloise's Baking Soda Hintsand Recipes pamphlet. To re-ceive a copy, send $5 and along, self-addressed, stamped(66 cents) envelope to:Heloise/Baking Soda, P.O. Box795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Baking soda also can beused to clean brushes andcombs. Dissolve 4 tablespoonsof baking soda in 1 quart ofwater, and soak the brushesand combs overnight. Simplyrinse well, and they are readyto use again. -- Heloise
HOTEL ROOMSDear Readers: When you are
a road warrior like me, yourhotel room becomes your homeaway from home, and I like it tobe as quiet as possible. That's
why, when booking hotelrooms, I request a room awayfrom any potential noise. I don'twant a room facing street traf-fic or a room close to the eleva-tors, ice makers or laundryrooms. My Heloise hint: Askhotel staff, when making reser-vations, to reserve your roomfar away from any potentialnoisemakers. -- Heloise
NEW STYLEDear Heloise: I have a hint for
making old jackets new again.Take off the original buttons(this works particularly well ifthe buttons are just for decora-tion). Add buttons with aunique shape or color for acompletely new, inexpensive,updated look. -- Cathy M. inNew Mexico
BLUSH IN A PINCHDear Readers: Running out of
blush can make any girl'smorning drab. In a pinch, put abit of lipstick in your hand andadd a drop of moisturizer. Mixwell; pat it on your cheeks andblend. This will give you a nice,natural color without the pow-der! -- Heloise
Bridge Phillip Alder
READ THE LEAD TOMAKE THE CONTRACT
Mark Twain said, "Aperson who won't readhas no advantage overone who can't read."
That can also apply tobridge. The player whodoes not pay any atten-tion to the opening leadhas no advantage overthe player who sees itbut fails to work outwhat information it im-parts.
Sometimes declarercan work out what to dojust by analyzing theopening lead.
In this example, howshould South play inthree no-trump afterWest leads a fourth-high-est spade five?
This is surely the mostcommon two-bid auc-tion. It is true that onthis deal, three no-trumpcan be defeated if Westis inspired enough tolead a heart, and five di-amonds can always bemade with a good guess
in the trumpsuit. But if youtry to get tofive of a minorwith two bal-anced handsopposite each
other, you will be a bigloser in the long run. Gofor the nine-trick gameunless you are sure itcannot make.
South starts withseven top tricks: twospades, two diamondsand three clubs. And ifthe diamonds run, thereis an overtrick waitingin the wings. But if thediamonds are 3-0, whohas the tripleton?
Read West's lead. Howmany spades did he startwith?
Since South can seethe two, three and four,West must have led fromexactly a four-card suit.And if he is void in dia-monds, he must have atleast five hearts or fiveclubs and surely wouldhave led from that suit --length rules in no-
trump. So only East canbe void in diamonds.
Declarer should takethe first trick and cashthe diamond ace.

FROM B2
Had the sides not agreed to a deal by Monday’s deadline, Clady would havehad to play this season for $9.823 million because of the franchise tag.
While that’s nothing to scoff at, it wouldn’t have provided him the long-term security he sought. It also could have led to a training camp holdout andmaybe to his eventual departure from Denver in the next year or two.
Now, Clady’s in a good place both fiscally and physically.“Yes, I’m definitely glad to have the process over. Early in the offseason I
thought it would get done. But there were times where I thought it possiblycouldn’t get done, especially with the market being where it is, and otherfranchise players not really getting deals done,” Clady said Monday.
Clady’s deal puts him among the best-paid offensive linemen in the NFL,just behind Cleveland Browns left tackle Joe Thomas, who averages $11.5 mil-lion on an eight-year, $92 million extension that includes $44 million in guar-antees.
“It definitely puts me with some good company up there with Joe Thomas.I’ve been working hard to try to get on that level,” Clady said. “The Broncoshave showed great respect in getting this deal done, considering what some ofthe other tackles, like (Houston’s) Duane Brown, have signed for ($56.2 mil-lion over seven years).
“So it’s good. I think this is a big year for us as a team. We definitely have alot of expectations: Super Bowl or bust, for the most part. It’s a lot of pressure,unlike last year where we kind of just rolled in and tried to get things to-gether.”
The Broncos have gone on an offseason spending spree and added severalfree agents as they try to parlay last year’s 13-3 season — and their playoffpratfall — into a Super Bowl run.
Their only weak spot appears to be the banged-up offensive line.Clady is one of four starters along the line coming off surgeries that elimi-
nated or limited their offseason on-field work.Left guard Zane Beadles was the only starting offensive lineman to come
out of last season unscathed. Orlando Franklin (toe, shoulder), Chris Kuper(ankle) and J.D. Walton (knee) also needed operations, and of the three, onlyFranklin was at full health during minicamps this spring.
The Broncos signed Dan Koppen to fill in at center for Walton, who isn’t ex-pected back until midseason at best. Their biggest free-agency signing out-side of Wes Welker was right guard Louis Vasquez. If Kuper recovers fromhis second surgery in as many years, he’ll likely compete for a backup spot.
Chris Clark has filled in at left tackle for Clady all offseason and will getplenty of work during camp while Clady gets up to speed on Adam Gase’s newpick-up-the-pace offense. Clady said offensive line coach Dave Magazu senthim the playbook “so I have been digging through that trying to find outsome of the new stuff,” he said, “just trying to get on the same page so I canhit the ground running when I get back.”
FROM B2
The 27-year-old Cespedes has struggled as a sophomore, batting .225 with 15home runs, but hardly anyone in the game doubts his ability.
“This trophy will motivate me so that things continue to go well for me, andI just want to thank the people that believed in me, that thought I could playat this level,” he said. The 20-year-old Harper, wearing shiny gold spikes ashis father pitched to him, hammered eight homers in all three rounds. Butthe Washington Nationals phenom couldn’t keep up with Cespedes.
“He’s incredible,” Harper said. “He’s an absolute machine.”Colorado outfielder Michael Cuddyer and Baltimore first baseman Chris
Davis, who leads the majors with 37 homers, were eliminated in the secondround. Davis tied Reggie Jackson (1969) for the AL record before the All-Starbreak.

In game two, with a three-hiteffort, Bakkehaug worked out ofa bases loaded jam in the third,and stranded six Rangers in allover four and a third with helpfrom his defense and seven fly-outs. Mullinax, at catcher, endeda two-run threat in the fifthinning with a diving snag infront of home plate on aLaramie bunt attempt to hold a1-1 tie.
Sheridan broke things open inthe fifth inning when Laramiepitchers’ walks piled up and aseven-run Sheridan frame putthe contest away. Mort had abases-clearing double in thefifth, and O’Dell’s two-run triplefinished the damage in thesixth. O’Dell had a 4 RBI night.
After some rest, Sheridan willattempt to play out the remain-der of their season with similar
consistency as this 5-2 run isone of their best all year, backwithin a game of .500. They’rein Laramie and Cheyenne July22 and 23 before returning toSheridan for their final homegame, July 24 against Casper.

Woods says elbow fine, no loss of confidence
GULLANE, Scotland (AP) — Tiger Woods saidhis ailing left elbow is “good to go” for theBritish Open, and he insisted Tuesday there’s noloss of confidence despite the longest stretch ofhis career without a major title.
Woods held his regular session with the mediaahead of the British Open at Muirfield, where heresumes his quest for a 15th major title. Onceconsidered a lock to break Jack Nicklaus’ record,he hasn’t won one of golf ’s biggest events sincethe 2008 U.S. Open.
“I feel very good about my game,” Woods said.“I feel very, very good going into major champi-onships. I’ve had a pretty good year this year sofar — won four times. Even though I haven’t wona major championship in five years, I’ve beenthere in a bunch of them where I’ve had chances.I just need to keep putting myself there andeventually I’ll get some.”
The biggest question mark for Woods at thismajor is his health.
He strained his elbow at last month’s U.S.Open, playing in visible pain while struggling toa 32nd-place finish. He hasn’t played sinceMerion, even skipping his own tournament togive the injury time to heal.
“The elbow feels good,” Woods said. “It’s one ofthe good things of taking the time off to let itheal and get the treatment and therapy on it. Themain reason was that coming over here, theground is going to be hard, obviously. And I’mgoing to need that elbow to be good. And just incase the rough was, well, reports were it was
going to be high, and it was going to be lush. Ineeded to have this thing set and healed. Andeverything is good to go.”
Woods has dealt with several injuries, a swingchange and major distractions in his personallife since winning at Torrey Pines five years ago.
Not like he hasn’t been in contention. Woodshas eight top-10 finishes in the majors since hislast victory, but he hasn’t been able to break hisdrought.
Now he’s returning to a course where he shothis worst round as a professional, an 81 in miser-able conditions during the third round of the2002 British Open.
“It’s just a shot here and there,” he said. “It’smaking a key up-and-down here or getting a goodbounce there, capitalizing on an opportunityhere and there.”
Woods is again the world’s top-ranked player,and no one comes close to his 13 PGA Tour victo-ries over the last five years. But he knows betterthan anyone that major titles are what will deter-mine his legacy. These are the tournaments hegears his entire season around, the ones hewants more than any others.
In his eyes, it’s just a matter of time before hewins another one.
“It’s not much,” Woods said. “It could happenon the first day, it could happen on the last day.But it’s turning that tide and getting the momen-tum at the right time or capitalizing on ouropportunity. That’s what you have to do to winmajor championships.”
